Eating bizarre things in public upgrades my status; the Special Affairs Bureau wants me to join them

The fate of the fish was inevitable.

He once vowed to die for the world...

Now, he has done it.

The power given to him by the wise men was the "tool" that enabled him to die for the world. Without the power given to him by the wise men, he would not have been able to light the tree branch.

Even though the burning branches possessed power and burned living beings, the fish-duck was still hanging on by a thread.

This breath of fresh air will be felt when Emperor Wang ascends the throne...

It has completely disappeared.

The future Emperor Wang has already distinguished himself due to the wars instigated by future generations, and Yu Fu must have noticed this future King of Shu in the past few months.

However, the matter of Emperor Wang's ascension to the throne was something that He Li and the others were destined not to witness.

Because He Li should return...

He arrived in the ancient mythological era, and the mission he needed to complete had already come to an end at this moment.

The predetermined historical events have already occurred.

The hazy history has become clear.

The schemes of Heaven in later generations...

It was a complete success!

He wants to return to the original era, advance the war between the three realms, end the war between the three realms, and cooperate with the other two divinely ordained emperors to usher in a new era for future generations.

However, before that, He Li still had some things to do while there was still some time left...

hum! ! !

He raised his hand and picked up the branch of the divine tree that had fallen from Yu Fu's hand and whose flames had been extinguished. His gaze then fell on Yu Fu and the Fire Ancestor.

Yu Fu was still barely clinging to life.

They can hold out for a while longer.

But the Fire Ancestor couldn't do that; igniting the tree branches had consumed too much of his power and damaged his very foundation.

His aura had become so faint that it seemed as if he would disappear at any moment.

And noticing He Li's gaze...

The Fire Ancestor laughed: "All living beings have their destiny, and dying for all living beings is my destiny, but I will not truly disappear from this world."

He paused briefly, as his body began to turn into translucent flames and gradually dissipated...

The voice of the Fire Ancestor also became ethereal and majestic.

"I am the progenitor of fire!"

"My soul returns to heaven and earth, my body transforms into the Great Dao..."

"All the fires in the world are manifestations of me!"

"The fire illuminates the night, but humanity endures..."

hum! ! !

The figure of the Fire Ancestor became increasingly transparent. When his body completely turned into those sparks and dissipated, his voice also became so faint that it gradually became inaudible and ended as the sparks disappeared.

He Li gripped the branch, and he could vaguely sense that something else had appeared in the world.

That must be the will of the Fire Ancestor.

He is the supreme god. Although he will die, his will will not completely dissipate as long as the Heavenly Dao does not exert its power. His will will be integrated into the rules and continue to "illuminate" all living beings.

The other gods watched as the Fire Ancestor vanished before their eyes, and seemed to feel something in their silence.

"This matter is settled; we should now return home!"

After a moment of silence, a god spoke.

He was the Heavenly Emperor of the Demon Court of this era. Without waiting for the other gods to respond, he transformed into a golden crow phantom and returned to the sky, completely disappearing from He Li's and the gods' sight.

Following closely behind, one after another, the gods spoke and transformed into streams of light, returning to their own abodes.

What remained were only the supreme gods that He Li knew well, such as Zhulong, Nuwa, Kurong, and Houtu.

It seems they anticipated that He Li would return soon.

Zhulong suddenly spoke: "I have guarded the edge of the world and have come into contact with those void creatures many times."

"I have gained some insight into this!"

"Whether it is right or wrong, I am determined to leave this world and go to the vast void to pursue the third path and no longer stay in this world."

As it spoke, it looked at He Li.

"If I gain something in the future!"

"Perhaps... the information I know in the void will be transmitted back to this world in some way."

"Young friend, please be careful!"

Before He Li could respond, Zhulong's figure gradually became transparent and eventually disappeared without a sound. At this moment, Wa looked at He Li and spoke...

"The branches of that divine tree are a bit strange; perhaps it's because there's too much burning power involved."

"May I take a look?"

She asked, and He Li nodded.

In fact, he had already sensed the changes in the branches of the divine tree when he retrieved them.

At this point, the branches of the divine tree had almost lost the powerful and vast strength they once possessed, and instead had become quite ordinary.

If someone unaware of the situation were to receive...

They might actually think that this is just an ordinary branch of the spirit tree with nothing special about it.

However, if you pay close attention...

One can still vaguely sense the life force that exists deep within the branches of the divine tree; perhaps these branches can regain their powerful strength in the future.

But He Li didn't know what to do either.

But then he remembered that in his future life, he had seen Feng Lixi handing him a branch of the sacred tree…

Does that mean that he entrusted the tree branch to Feng Lixi for safekeeping for some reason? Or does it mean that Feng Lixi and Wa have a way to restore the tree branch?

Another point is...

The tree branch that my future self obtained through Fuurishi's consciousness looked different...

The branch has been completely transformed into a "torch".

This definitely doesn't belong to He Liqian.

Because he could sense that he was about to return to the past and would not have time to do these things, these things were probably done for him by Feng Lixi or Wa.

Although I don't know the reason, maybe showing the branch to Nuwa will clear up the mystery?

He Li thought to himself.

After he handed the branch to Nuwa, the latter carefully examined it and pondered for a moment before saying, "This branch of the divine tree seems to have returned to a special state..."

"Similar to birds that haven't hatched yet, or plants that are still hidden underground and haven't sprouted."

"If we have to wait for it to recover on its own..."

"That will take a long time."

"Furthermore, it probably won't be easy for you to use this branch of the divine tree in later generations."

Hearing this, He Li frowned: "I know that although the branches of this divine tree are powerful, the price to pay for using them is not small. Even in later generations, I would not do so easily..."

He paused before he could finish speaking.

"Do you have a way?" As if he had thought of something, He Li stared at Wa and couldn't help but ask.

The latter shook his head: "It can't be called a solution."

"I just have a few ideas."

"This will take time and effort to try..."

"Okay!" Upon hearing this, He Li nodded without hesitation, indicating that he could place the branch of the divine tree with Nuwa, because he was certain that Nuwa would help him achieve his goal later.

In later generations, the transformation of the divine tree branches into special torches must have been the work of Nuwa.

Seeing this, Nuwa didn't say anything more.

After all, she had accessed He Li's memories.

She knew that the reason He Li so decisively handed over the branch of the divine tree to her was because in the future, she would pass the branch to Feng Lixi so that she could return it to He Li.

After seeing that He Li and Wa had finished their conversation, Hou Tu also began to prepare to take her leave...

"You should already know about the events of the Death Realm in later generations, having spent so much time in this era's Death Realm. I won't say more, but I need to remind you of something..."

"The Realm of the Dead is somewhat special."

"It exists alongside this world..."

"Yet it also leans towards an independent world, or rather, it possesses the characteristics of an independent world."

"Occasionally... unexpected things might happen in the realm of the dead, or you might be visited by strange creatures. You need to be careful to avoid any trouble!"

Houtu gave her instructions, and He Li nodded.

The existence of the Lord of the Great Abyss of the Dead Realm is actually somewhat similar to that of the Guardians of the Realm.

Because the divine tree connects to the abyss of the dead...

It is the weakest point in the realm of the dead.

That place is also where other powerful beings with ulterior motives from this world like to sneak into the realm of the dead. The creatures that Houtu mentioned may also come from there.

The duty of the Great Abyss General is to guard the Great Abyss, intercepting or slaying these beings.

After Houtu finished giving He Li his instructions...

She then left, even though she might have other things to say to He Li, such as the memories of the Heavenly Dao she had glimpsed, but she would not tell He Li about them in this era.

Because of the other things she wanted to say, she had already hidden in the realm of the dead, and He Li would discover them sooner or later.

She doesn't need to say it here.

If I say it, I might be targeted by the Heavenly Dao.

Besides, no one is necessarily willing to listen to any reasoning.

After Tu left, Ku Rong followed and said, "I have suffered considerable losses and need to recover. Perhaps you can stay in this era for a while longer."

"But don't expect it to be too long."

"Because neither I nor the rules will allow you to linger for long..."

"I know!" He Li nodded.

Although he had a feeling, if Ku Rong took the initiative to confirm that he still had time, then perhaps he could do more things to strive for more changes in future generations!
