"Besides, how did I know how far you had gotten? To me, this is a huge conspiracy full of mysteries."
"Protect me?" Queen Mother Xi gave an ambiguous smile: "Who can you protect now?"
Jiang Lu was speechless for a moment.
Although most things were the same as before, the most crucial point was that his strength was not as good as before. This meant that in most cases he could only watch things go in a worse direction. Even if he was watching from the sidelines, he could do nothing about it.
"But at least I'm here, right?"
"You might as well not come."
Jiang Lu thought about it seriously and said, "So we are going with the ancient dragon style again, right?"
"Things are much more complicated than you think. Believe me, you don't want to get involved in this muddy water. Listen to me, go back to where you came from." After all, Queen Mother of the West didn't have the heart to completely regard Jiang Lu as an enemy, and still instinctively wanted him to be safe.
Hearing this, Jiang Lu was speechless.
If possible, he would like to run, but the situation does not allow it.
And Jiang Lu also became a little curious.
Because from what she said, it seemed that she really knew a lot of inside information, and she expressed a deep sense of powerlessness about these parts.
Although she did not obey Yuanshi Tianzun's arrangements like Dong Wanggong did, but chose to refuse and deal with it coldly, she was obviously clear about what Yuanshi Tianzun was going to do.
Thinking of this, Jiang Lu asked directly: "Okay, I admit that maybe I am worrying a little too much, but now that I am here, I don't want to continue to be a fool. Just tell me what you know."
Queen Mother Xi shook her head: "You know, some things are not good to know."
Jiang Lu raised his eyebrows: "Oh, are you scaring me?"
"I'm not trying to scare you, I'm just stating a fact." Queen Mother of the West calmly looked at the bluffing Jiang Lu and calmly stated what she believed to be the truth: "He might have respected you before, but now, do you think he would look at you twice?"
Jiang Lu didn't care. "It doesn't matter if he respects me or not, right? I'm just curious about what he wants to do. I don't want to make things difficult for him. He and I didn't have any grudges before. He won't harm me just because I know a little more, right? As far as I know, he doesn't seem to be that aggressive."
"You are wrong." Queen Mother Xi was helpless about Jiang Lu's ignorance and sighed deeply: "You have already stood on the opposite side of him."
Jiang Lu didn't understand again. One moment he advised me to stay away, and the next moment he said that I was already on the opposite side of him. So, if you are still playing the riddle man even in this situation, aren't you just waiting for me to die?
That's what he thought, and he asked that question.
"Then shouldn't you tell me what's going on? Otherwise, it will be useless for me to hide anywhere."
"No, it works."
Queen Mother of the West said seriously and solemnly:
"Go back to your original world, then he won't be able to do anything to you, and you still have a chance."
Jiang Lu was stunned at first, and then he was shocked.
"What do you mean?"
"Leave the Three Pure Lands and return to the world where you were reincarnated." Queen Mother of the West seemed to have seen through everything: "Then you can still survive."
"How did you..." Jiang Lu wanted to ask her how she knew that, but when the words came to his lips, it was as if a stone was blocking his throat. He couldn't make a sound, and he felt like he couldn't breathe.
The pressure overwhelmed him like a wave, and an inexplicable fear swept through his body.
Even Zeus didn't notice this at first, but Queen Mother of the West acted as if she had known it for a long time. This biggest secret was revealed so easily, how could Jiang Lu not be horrified?
He really wanted to know how she knew that, but Queen Mother Xi did not explain it to him. She just said, "I can only tell you one thing, that is, you are the cause of all the chaos. You have caused everything that is happening now, including the chaos in the Three Pure Ones Realm, and also... the Underworld."
Sure enough, the Queen Mother of the West was also paying attention to the underworld, just like all the gods she met.
Jiang Lu took a deep breath. Since the other party had already thrown out the trump card, he didn't hide it anymore: "I will correct everything. I have been to the underworld, and the chaos caused by me is calming down. But I don't know why you said that the chaos in the Three Pure Ones was also caused by me."
"The fact that you can ask this question shows that your cognition is completely wrong."
Queen Mother Xi was somewhat disappointed:
"The chaos you caused... You don't think the war in the underworld was caused by your death, do you?"
"Isn't it?" Jiang Lu asked back.
"Yes and no." Queen Mother of the West once again acted as a riddler: "But only when you die will there be a war in the underworld. If anyone else becomes the Lord of the Underworld, this will not happen. Even if any successor becomes the Lord of the Underworld, this will not happen either."
"You made me a little confused... Let me sort it out first."
The more Jiang Lu listened, the more confused he became:
"You mean, the key point is my death, not the death of the Lord of the Underworld, and it has nothing to do with who succeeds the Lord of the Underworld, even if it is some bastard who started the war?"
"You can understand it this way." Queen Mother of the West inexplicably made a very abstract analogy: "If the series of events that happened after your death are regarded as a universe, then your death is the initial singularity that inspired everyone and then achieved everything now."
"Inspiration?"
Jiang Lu felt vaguely that he had understood something.
He blurted out: "For example...the way out that Yuanshi mentioned?"
"You have indeed seen the letter." Queen Mother Xi suddenly said with some sadness: "Yes, there is a way out. Not many people can see the way out, but once they see it, they will do something terrible without exception."
Jiang Lu frowned, feeling a little uneasy: "So what is the way out?"
"You still haven't changed." Queen Mother Xi said this for the third time, but this time her tone was heavier: "You can live longer, but you don't want to?"
"You said I was the one who caused all this. Where do you think I can hide?"
Queen Mother of the West was silent for a moment, stared at Jiang Lu, and suddenly smiled.
This time the laugh was not ironic or mocking, but a satisfied laugh from the heart, as if some guess had been verified, with a sense of satisfaction.
"It's no wonder that I used a barrier to isolate this place from the beginning, so that my brother wouldn't notice it."
"Uh..." Jiang Lu didn't expect that the previous ones were all tests. It turned out that Queen Mother of the West intended to tell him everything from the beginning: "I thought you did it to prevent Xuan Nu from eavesdropping."
"That won't happen." Queen Mother Xi shook her head. "I never avoid her even when I'm having fun. If I hadn't known from the beginning that you would definitely ask questions, I wouldn't have done that."
"You seem very proud..."
"......" Queen Mother Xi was a little annoyed: "Do you want to listen or not?"
"You say it."
Queen Mother of the West adjusted her mood and finally spoke slowly, but she did not start directly from Yuanshi Tianzun's plan, but instead told a legend that everyone knew -
The story of Pangu creating the world.
However, what she said was another version that no one knew.
In this version, Pangu did not die of exhaustion after creating the world and then turn into heaven and earth.
Instead, after doing all this, he lived in the world he created for a long time and even left behind three offspring.
After that, he seemed to have completed his mission, opened a road leading to an unknown place, and then disappeared in this world.
Legend has it that after he opened that path, he transcended the realm of the Creator and ushered in another ascension above ascension.
"My elder brother, Yuanshi Tianzun."
The Queen Mother of the West said word by word:
"He has always believed in it and is looking for a way."
"So, he really found it?"
"He thinks he has found it, but I doubt it." At this point, Queen Mother Xi was very helpless: "But he won't listen to anything."
"I still don't understand, what does this have to do with me?"
"Because he found another way, another way that you opened."
The Queen Mother of the West's voice suddenly rose:
"How do I know that you are not reincarnated in this world, a world that is closely connected to you?
It is because when you sent your limbs to various places in the heavens, perhaps you were not even aware of it, but you did inadvertently open an extraordinary door.
A door that even Yuanshi Tianzun, even I, and even all the gods, cannot reach in.
A truly forbidden place for gods!"
Chapter 353 Do you have any surprises that I haven’t discovered?
"Uh..."
Jiang Lu felt a little confused about what Queen Mother of the West said.
How come I don't know anything about what you said?
"What door? Why don't I have any impression of it?"
"That's why you said you didn't notice it yourself." Queen Mother Xi explained, "When you used the exile formation to send the various parts of your body to different worlds, one of them was sent to the Forbidden Land for some unknown reason. It is irreversible and cannot be replicated. That's what happened."
"Is this true?" Jiang Lu still didn't quite believe it.
This is too mysterious. This is the first time he has heard of the forbidden land of gods.
Since someone as knowledgeable as him has never heard of it, the authenticity of the story is of course very questionable.
But then, the Queen Mother of the West gave a proof that Jiang Lu could not refute at all.
"It's OK that the new Lord of the Underworld didn't notice it, or maybe he did but didn't care. But do you really think that no one noticed your trick?"
Queen Mother Xi shook her head:
“The impact of your death may be much greater than you think.
People are afraid of you when you are alive, but once you die, all kinds of monsters and demons will come out.
Some people want to obtain your remains because they believe that by obtaining your remains they can gain your power.
There are also people who want to completely destroy you, thinking that if they destroy your remains, there will be no chance of your resurrection.
There are also people who want to resurrect you, and for this purpose they are secretly exploring and investigating, silently searching for your remains.
But there is no doubt that everyone is sure that you are definitely not dead, and no matter what their purpose is, what they do is all the same, that is, they treat you as an incomplete treasure map, and they collect you tirelessly with all kinds of thoughts in their minds.
Then I have to ask you, are you sure that there is no one among them who possesses such ability?"
"You mean..." Jiang Lu suddenly felt horrified: "Yuanshi Tianzun also did it?"
Queen Mother Xi did not keep the secret and directly admitted: "He is just one of them. God knows how many others have done this. And I can tell you with certainty that many people have succeeded and even obtained a considerable number of remains."
"You mean, I can't get those parts back?" Jiang Lu's expression was a little ugly, because he knew that gods were just humans with divine nature, which did not mean they possessed divinity, nor did it mean that they were all good people.
