I will teach you how to cultivate immortality

Chapter 430 God of Plague, Shadow of Gonggong

At almost the same time, on the shores of the East China Sea, where the sun rises.

This place is adjacent to the Great Xia Dynasty and is a special country called "Black Teeth Kingdom".

Because the people here consider black to be beautiful, everyone paints their teeth black, and they have successfully tamed four kinds of ferocious beasts: tigers, leopards, bears, and brown bears.

Therefore, even the powerful Xia kingdoms did not force the Black Teeth Kingdom to join them.

However, the Black Teeth Kingdom has always wavered between joining and not joining the Great Xia.

Each new ruler has adopted a different stance and inclination, habitually wavering between different positions.

In view of this, the Black Teeth Kingdom has become a rare chaotic place on the border of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Here, you can see any of the gods, mythical beasts, spirits, and demons in the Eastern Sea.

Therefore, even though the floating creatures, which are considered "gods of plague," wander around here, the people living here seem to take it all in stride.

“Xuan Su rejected me and even destroyed the yellow snake’s scales.”

With a long sigh, countless tiny bacteria and insects, invisible to the naked eye, gathered together.

In the blink of an eye, a strange being with a short stature and a hunched back appeared.

This is the true nature of buoyancy, the incarnation of the god of plague.

Planktonic organisms are microscopic insects found in water.

Its name is synonymous with "mayfly," referring to invisible bacteria and viruses.

As a tiny insect that lives only a day, Fuyou received a blessing from Gonggong by chance.

It transformed into a spirit in one fell swoop, and then advanced to become a god.

This act of rebirth made Fuyou the most steadfast supporter of the second-generation Gonggong, and he continued to work tirelessly for him even after his death.

“I told you, Xuan Su is the god of wind, rain and thunder, and has a fierce personality.”

"Unless we can find Yu Guo, there is absolutely no way we can persuade her to join us."

Without a sound, the shadow beneath Fuyou's feet suddenly rose up, transforming into an amorphous shadow god.

This is another deity under Gonggong's command—Yinyi.

It's just like Li Boyang's Shadow Demon Dharma Image.

Shadows are also the embodiment of shadows, a physical manifestation of lower-dimensional life.

In terms of origin alone, shadows are even more lowly than floating things.

At least the gliders are born in the morning and die in the evening; although their lifespan is short, they still possess a physical form.

In contrast, shadows are truly born from the smallest things, exist only for a moment, and are fleeting shadows.

By sheer coincidence, Yinyi consumed the Emperor's Dew, a rare occurrence that only comes once every thousand years, thus escaping its fate of being a fleeting flower.

However, this is only the first step in the birth of the shadow.

Even if a shadow comes to life, it is still just a shadow, and changes in light and shadow could kill it at any moment.

Then it was just like what happened to the floating creature.

The resurrected shadow encountered the second generation of Gonggong at this time.

In order to allow Yin Yi to survive, Gonggong chose to let Yin Yi live in his shadow.

Subsequently, He remained bathed in light and shadow for over a hundred years, never letting His shadow disappear even for a moment.

After a transformation that lasted for more than a hundred years, Yin Yi finally ascended to become a god.

—Its form is formless, it changes with the light, it hides in the shadows during the day, and gathers into form at night.

—His body is covered with patterns of a thousand shadows, and his eyes contain light without form, overseeing the changes of darkness and shadows throughout the world.

This is the origin of the name "Yinyi" (陰翳), and also the reason why it is called "Gonggong's Shadow" (公工之影).

“We don’t have much time left. The great shamans have already noticed the usefulness of the Soul Jade.”

"According to reports from my avatars scattered throughout Great Xia, Wu Xian and the others have already begun collecting Soul Jade."

The sound of the floating creatures seemed unusually low at this moment.

No one knew the greed of those great shamans better than He; they were a group of madmen who would stop at nothing to achieve their goals. Once Wu Xian and the others discovered the Soul Jade in their hands, these great shamans would definitely come knocking on their door at all costs.

"Yes, we don't have time to delay any longer."

"So rather than sitting and waiting to die, it's better to take the initiative."

The dark shadow transformed into a shape similar to a floating object, and its gloomy tone revealed a hint of determination.

"what have you done?"

Having worked with Yin Yi for so many years, Fu You immediately understood the subtext in the other party's words.

"He didn't do anything; He simply chose to cooperate with us."

A slightly amused voice suddenly came from not far away.

Following closely behind were six figures that felt strangely familiar to the floating creatures.

"The Six Enlightened Witches!?"

Suddenly opening his eyes wide, Fuyou even wondered if Yinyi had betrayed Gonggong.

Otherwise, how could He have brought the six enlightened witches here, and even allowed them to overhear their conversation?
"Don't be so nervous, we're here with no ill intentions."

Wu Peng, who was in the lead, stepped forward first, his face full of bright smiles, showing no sign that his Dao Heart had just been broken by Li Boyang a few years ago.

"You collect the soul jade transformed from the Guhuoniao only to revive Kanghui."

"But the two most powerful Soul Jade have already been taken by the Devouring Heaven Lord..."

"Unless you collect all the remaining Soul Jade, it is absolutely impossible to achieve the wish of 'resurrection of the dead' that subverts the rules of life and death."

Wu Peng paused slightly at this point.

“But we are different. We, the Six Enlightened Witches, have been researching the ‘elixir of immortality’.”

"What's more, coincidentally, bringing the dead back to life is also one of our main research directions."

"I think you must have heard about Lord Mengzhang, right?"

“I can tell you definitively that I was watching from the side when that celestial being ‘resurrected’ Lord Mengzhang.”

"Now all we need is the Soul Jade you've collected..."

“I can also recreate those steps to help you recover.”

His words were full of seduction, and Wu Peng was like a devil crawling out of hell.

"This is a win-win deal, isn't it?"

"All you want is for Kang to come back to life..."

"We need to use the power of the Soul Jade to create a truly perfect elixir of immortality."

Staring intently at Wu Peng opposite him, Fu You remained silent for a long time before finally speaking.

"You want the Soul Jade we've collected, and you also want Gonggong to be your experimental subject..."

"You six enlightened witches are dreaming too much, aren't you?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Peng suddenly burst into laughter.

"Haha, it's not that we're thinking too much, it's just that this is your only option."

"Unless you have other methods, or are confident that you can defeat the Celestials and the Eclipse Lord and take the two most powerful Soul Jade from them."

Wu Peng's words were filled with certainty.

It was with this argument that he persuaded Yin Yi.

Everyone present knew that Floating and Shadow had no choice but to accept each other.

As time goes on, things will only get worse than they are now.

Especially after the third Gonggong was chosen, those who were originally loyal to Gonggong would even take the initiative to prevent Fuyou and Yinyi from resurrecting the previous Gonggong.
