Chapter 438 The Feathered Serpent God Returns from the Underworld

In the Great Xia system, the relationship between the gods and the great shamans was very delicate.

Because among the gods of the Great Xia Dynasty, there were indeed neutral factions who favored humanity.

However, within the group of great shamans, there are also egoists who do not care about the interests of humanity.

The first and second generations of Gonggong were neutral factions among the gods of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Wu Zhen, who is single-mindedly pursuing the Tao and only interested in knowledge, is an egoist among the Ten Witches of Ling Mountain.

Several years ago, Wu Zhen received an assignment from the Ten Witches of Lingshan and Xingtian City to find the Crimson-Eyed Cauldron before the gods of the Great Xia Dynasty.

However, when facing Li Boyang, Wu Zhen decisively chose to give up the second [Red-Eyed Cauldron].

Subsequently, Wu Zhen kept his promise and did not covet the [Red-Eyed Cauldron] again.

This shows that Wu Zhen doesn't actually care about the so-called Great Xia; all she cares about is her own interests and those of Xingtian City.

Therefore, when Yu Guo took the initiative to come to her door, Wu Zhen really felt that the other party was a big problem.

She now only wants to quietly study "Mechanical Dynamics" and Yin-Yang talismans, and has no intention of letting that celestial being come knocking on her door again.

This is something I have to mention.

"Mechanical Dynamics" and the Yin-Yang Talisman were Wu Zhen's return gift for helping Li Boyang last time.

The Yin-Yang talisman was easy to obtain; it was a reward that Wuzhen actively requested after understanding the system of proverbs and talismans.

"Mechanical Dynamics" was written by Li Boyang after he saw the technical system of Xingtian City, and he specially took the time to teach it to Wu Zhen.

This book is full of Li Boyang's personal thoughts, ideas, and concepts, and only someone like Wu Zhen can understand it.

“This matter has nothing to do with the Hundred Mountains.”

Yu Guo was completely taken aback when Wu Zhen became so obedient. He remained silent for a long time before speaking again.

"It's the Great Xia, and I, or perhaps the subordinate deity of Kanghui, are planning something..."

“I know their nature, especially in this turbulent time, so it wouldn’t be surprising if they did something.”

"I want to know exactly what they are doing, and whether it is possible to stop them in advance."

Upon hearing this, Wu Zhen frowned even more deeply.

"What happened to your main body? Why don't you come out in person?"

"Are you going to stay in this half-dead state forever?"

Wu Zhen could tell at a glance what was going on with Yu Guo, and he couldn't hide the surprise and confusion on his face.

After all, Yu Guo disappeared without a trace after that battle in the East China Sea and never appeared again.

But everyone knows that Yu Guo did not die, and the fact that the statues of Yu Guo enshrined in the East China Sea did not collapse is the best proof of this.

"That's a long story..."

Before Yu Guo could finish speaking, Wu Zhen interrupted him impatiently.

"Either leave me right now, or make this quick."

"I have no interest in having a heart-to-heart talk with you old monsters who have lived for who knows how many years, and I don't want to get involved in even the slightest trouble."

"You'd better convince me before my patience runs out."

What happened to Yu Guo was actually far more complicated than outsiders imagined.

In that great war, due to the betrayal of the gods of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Although Wu Yi's primordial spirit did not succeed in killing Yu Guo.

However, Yu Guo's situation was not good at the time, and he even had to entrust the Red-Eyed Cauldron to Xuan Su for safekeeping in advance.

However, to Yu Guo's utter surprise, due to the weakening of His power, a group of powerful ghosts and spirits escaped from the [Netherworld Spring]. The [Netherworld Spring] connects to the underworld and is the final destination of the underworld gods and ghosts.

According to the operating order of the Yin and Yang realms, only when powerful resentment transforms into ghosts and spirits and lingers unwilling to leave the mortal world will it attract the interference of Yin spirits from across realms.

However, the extent of this intervention is not as great as people imagine.

Referring to the bull-headed creature that appeared earlier, and the Hijikata clan that emerged after the destruction of the Hijikata Kingdom.

This reveals that the cross-realm interference of Yin spirits is more often akin to a "routine emergency response."

—If you can handle it, great; if you can't, it's no big deal.

Especially when it comes to ghosts and spirits that were deified, the underworld is in a state of complete decay.

Those with a stronger sense of responsibility might come in person, like Niu Tou did.

However, the probability of it overturning like a bull's head is also very high.

Those who lack a sense of responsibility will only watch from afar, at most reminding the nearby gods what happened, and that's considered being relatively dutiful.

As for the creatures living on this land?

Even the local gods don't care about those creatures.

How could one expect those spirits from other realms to be particularly attentive?

During the thousands of years that Yu Guo guarded the East China Sea, similar things naturally happened as well.

However, unlike ordinary deities, Yu Guo would often use force to drive away ghosts and spirits after discovering them.

In any case, the [Yin Shi You Quan] is connected to the Yin Shi. Yu Guo driving those ghosts and gods back can be considered as fulfilling the duties that belong to the Yin gods.

However, there is a crucial problem with Yu Guo's actions.

That is, the ghosts and spirits that He banished back to the Underworld Spring are not scattered in various corners of the Underworld, but are concentrated on the other side of the corresponding Underworld Spring.

Filled with hatred and anger towards Yu Guo, they constantly plotted to launch a counterattack against the mortal world.

Under these circumstances, when Yu Guo's power wanes, the counterattack of the ghosts and gods is to be expected.

Surrounded by a host of ghosts and gods, the ghost named "Shaohao" emerged victorious in the battle.

Shaohao not only defeated Yu Guo, but also took away his body.

This is also why the statues of Yu Guo worshipped near the East China Sea did not crack.

"Shaohao?"

"Is it the Shaohao I know?"

After listening to Yu Guo's account, Wu Zhen couldn't help but ask a question in return.

"Yes, it's the Shaohao you know—the Feathered Serpent God Shaohao."

With a slight nod, Yu Guo, through Ying Long's body, gave an affirmative answer.

In the early days of the Great Xia Dynasty, during the period when the first Witch King dominated an era, the Shaohao tribe was one of the very few tribes that could rival the Witch King.

Although most of the Shaohao tribe members, under the influence of the Witch King, chose to merge into the Daxia state system.

However, one branch of the Shaohao tribe refused to submit and seized the opportunity to escape to the islands of the East China Sea.

This Shaohao tribe, which refused to submit, worshipped the original ancestral god of the Shaohao clan—the feathered serpent god Shaohao.

After Yu Guo arrived in the East China Sea, a conflict between the two sides was inevitable.

Shaohao, who was already a defeated opponent, could hardly be a match for Yu Guo at his peak.

As expected, the feathered serpent god Shaohao died, and then, in anger and resentment, transformed into a ghost, until he was banished back to the underworld by Yu Guo.
