Douluo Continent: Dark Demon God Biao, inheriting the position of an evil god

Chapter 171 Unable to contact the God of Evil? [Happy New Year everyone!]

The college pavilion.

"Yun Tian, ​​why did you call me out alone?"

Dai Qiu'er stretched lazily, revealing her beautiful curves, but she didn't care at all.

Dai Yuntian wasn't paying attention to those things and asked, "Did you feel anything was off today?"

"Hmm? Something's not right?"

Dai Qiu'er looked bewildered, her golden eyes filled with confusion.

She didn't seem to be lying.

Dai Yuntian stared at her, and a question arose in his mind.

Didn't Tang San place the other half of his divine consciousness on Qiu'er?
Logically speaking, after Wang Dong'er's divine sense was triggered, Dai Qiu'er should also have some reaction... Could it be that the Emperor Beast's own destiny power is special, isolating the influence?
Or is it that Tang San's divine sense is more deeply hidden?

"Hey, why are you staring at me like that?"

Dai Qiu'er's cheeks flushed slightly under his focused gaze, her voice unconsciously softened, and her eyes darted around.

She remembered the "guides" she had read in the library, and her heart skipped a beat for no reason.

Could he be thinking something strange?
"fine."

Dai Yuntian snapped out of his thoughts, temporarily suppressing his doubts, and waved his hand: "You can go now."

"what?"

Dai Qiu'er was taken aback, then angrily put her hands on her hips: "This won't do! You called me out alone, asked such a strange question, and then said it's nothing and let me leave? There's no such thing as a free lunch!"

She felt she had been tricked.

She had been deliberately summoned to this quiet pavilion, thinking... thinking that she might be able to complete the task assigned by the Lord to "befriend Dai Yuntian" today.

Is this the result?

"So what do you think it is?"

Seeing her angry expression, Dai Yuntian found it somewhat amusing, and his previous seriousness dissipated a bit.

“I…” Dai Qiu’er was speechless. She couldn’t very well say that she was thinking about how to “win him over”, could she?
Her eyes darted around, and she immediately found an excuse, holding up five fingers with an air of righteous indignation: "You have the nerve to ask! You owe me barbecue, and you haven't paid me even once! Four meals! A full four meals! Are you trying to renege on your debt?"

She remembered clearly that when they were in the Star Dou Great Forest, Dai Yuntian had personally promised to treat her to four meals of barbecue.

After transforming and arriving in the human world, the food at the academy was decent, but it was far inferior to the roasted meat made with horned bull that she longed for.

Dai Yuntian then remembered this, and looking at the blonde girl's charmingly "debt-collecting" appearance, he smiled helplessly: "Alright, alright, I haven't forgotten. When we're free this weekend, I'll take you to the city to find a good barbecue restaurant."

"Really?"

Dai Qiu'er's eyes lit up, but then she looked at him suspiciously: "You're not going to lie to me again, are you? If you stand me up again this time, I'll... I'll wait for you at your dorm!"

"Don't worry, I mean what I say."

Dai Yuntian nodded, then said seriously, "However, Qiu'er, if you feel anything is wrong recently, such as a headache, or if you hear strange voices in your head, you must tell me immediately. This is very important."

Seeing his serious expression, Dai Qiu'er nodded obediently, though she didn't understand why: "Oh, I understand."

She hesitated for a moment, but couldn't resist her curiosity. She leaned closer and asked in a low voice, "Is it... related to my identity?"

Dai Yuntian didn't answer directly, but gave her a meaningful look: "In short, be careful. Protect yourself in the human world."

"Okay, okay, stop nagging."

Although Dai Qiu'er complained, she felt a warmth in her heart because of his concern.

She waved her hand: "I'm off now, remember to have a barbecue! It's the weekend!"

After saying that, she turned and left, her high golden ponytail swaying behind her as she walked lightly.

……

Even after Dai Yuntian left the pavilion, the doubts he had about Tang San's divine sense had not completely dissipated.

He pondered for a moment and realized that this matter was of utmost importance. He needed to try to contact the God of Evil as soon as possible, even if it was just to report the situation.

Instead of returning to his dormitory, he headed straight towards the inner courtyard.

Arriving at the quiet courtyard with practiced ease, Dai Yuntian raised his hand and knocked on Zhang Lexuan's door. "Knock knock!"

"Come on~"

Zhang Lexuan's gentle and soft voice came from inside the room.

The door creaked open, and Zhang Lexuan, wearing a simple apron, appeared in the doorway.

When she saw that it was Dai Yuntian standing outside the door, a hint of surprise flashed in her beautiful, clear eyes, but it was quickly replaced by gentle concern: "Yuntian? It's so late, what brings you here? Come in quickly."

Dai Yuntian walked into the house and closed the door behind him.

Instead of his usual relaxed smile, he frowned slightly, his expression showing a rare hint of seriousness.

Zhang Lexuan keenly noticed the change in his mood. She put down the spatula in her hand, walked up to him, and asked softly, "What's wrong? You don't look well. Did something happen?"

Seeing her concerned look, Dai Yuntian said directly, "Sister Lexuan, I need a completely quiet room where no one will disturb me. It may take a while."

Zhang Lexuan nodded almost without hesitation: "Okay, come with me."

She didn't ask why, and this unconditional trust warmed Dai Yuntian's heart.

She led Dai Yuntian to a quiet room. The room was simply furnished with only a futon and a low table. It was obviously a place where Zhang Lexuan usually meditated or studied soul tools. The soundproofing was excellent.

"Is this place okay? No one will bother us."

Zhang Lexuan asked softly.

"Okay, thank you, Sister Lexuan."

Dai Yuntian expressed his gratitude.

"Don't mention it, just focus on your work, I'll be out here."

Zhang Lexuan smiled slightly, gently closed the door for him, and left him with complete space.

In the quiet room, Dai Yuntian sat cross-legged on a futon, took a deep breath, and calmed his mind. He closed his eyes and focused all his attention on the space between his eyebrows.

That is where the divine test mark, bestowed by the evil god, is located.

He tried to mobilize a wisp of his spiritual power and carefully probed into the dark, scale-shaped mark, attempting to contact the evil god far away in the divine realm through the passage left by the deity.

There was no response the first time.

The mark was like a deep pool, with only his own spiritual power rippling slightly within it.

Twice, he increased his mental effort, calling out with clear intention, but it was still like throwing a stone into the sea.

Only the faint majesty emanating from the divine test mark itself was present, without any feedback from its owner.

Three times... four times...

Dai Yuntian had a slight sheen of sweat on his forehead.

No matter how he tried, the mark remained quietly between his eyebrows, as if it were just a simple emblem, having lost its bridge to communication with the divine realm.

"Cannot get in touch..."

Dai Yuntian's heart sank slightly.

This isn't right.

Although they didn't contact each other often in the past, whenever he took the initiative to earnestly try to communicate through the mark, he could always vaguely sense the existence of the vast will on the other end. Even if the God of Evil did not respond, he would still feel like he was being "watched".

But at this moment, there was only emptiness and silence on the other side of the mark.

He recalled the occasional "gaze" from the evil god and his intervention at crucial moments, which proved that this god-king was not entirely indifferent.

This is the first time such a complete disconnection has occurred.

"Could it be... that something has happened in the realm of gods? Or perhaps the evil god is dealing with some urgent matter and has no time to attend to the mortal world?"

Dai Yuntian secretly guessed.

He recalled the difference in time flow between one day in the divine realm and one year in the mortal realm, as mentioned in the original setting of his previous life.
