Chapter 263: Chapter 203: The Double Pupils Woman and Willow God_l
The Willow God’s word by word cautions were carefully heeded by Shi Hao, who repeatedly nodded and committed everything to heart.
He understood the nature of the Willow God who rarely spoke, thus, if she was advising him so insistently, it would indeed be for his benefit.
Moreover, even if the Willow God did not reveal this information to him, he intended to interact more with Liu Village in the future, based on the Pure Blood Creatures that were willing to sacrifice their lives for him.
“Once we return to the village, I will forge a transportation gateway, connecting directly to this region.
If there is an unstoppable crisis in the future, the people from Stone Village can take refuge here. I have already explained the situation to the deity of the village. They begrudgingly agreed to me, so they should protect you.”
The Willow God spoke further, her voice ethereal and spiritual, like a sound from the heavens. It left a powerful impression, deeply ingrained in the minds of people.
She had a vague premonition that as time progressed, the celestial turbulence would get even stronger. Perhaps in no time, the Primitive Gate would reveal itself to the mortal world.
That would be the only chance to reach the Boundary Sea, and no matter what, she was determined to take the journey.
However, before leaving, she needed to arrange everything meticulously.
The Willow God initially wanted to set up the formation within the village. After all, through the transportation gateway, they could directly reach the inside of Liu Village, which would be safer.
However, an enigmatic and powerful force enveloped the village, repelling all foreign objects. Despite her efforts, she failed to penetrate it.
Therefore, she had to resort to an alternative, setting up the gateway formation on the route leading to Liu Village.
Shi Hao nodded like a pecking chicken, memorizing everything in his heart, while at the same time developing an increased fondness for the deity of Liu Village.
Given their status, it was commendable that they were able to make such a commitment.
“Before I leave, I will eliminate some unstoppable entities for you, but the rest will depend on you.
Although it is a catastrophe, it is also a baptism for you.
No matter the creature, true growth only occurs through experiences of bloodshed. Slaughter can taint creatures, but can also build thrones.”
With her hands behind back, the Willow God looked past the mountains into the far distance, her gaze carried a trace of vicissitudes that were inconsistent with her appearance.
“I’ll be in your care, Willow God!” Little Dot responded solemnly, naturally understanding what the Willow God was referring to.
“Someone’s coming!”
Right after Shi Hao’s voice fell, the Willow God’s brows furrowed, and she opened her mouth.
The next moment.
A stream of golden light sparkled from the horizon above, descending upon the mortal world.
The golden ray embodied a woman in a grey robe. Her single stride seemed to cross entire constellations, she was far away one moment, and close by in the blink of an eye.
Her eyes were detached, yet they seemed to have endured the tests of countless eras. They seemed to penetrate everything, leaving no place for any secrets to hide.
The most significant detail was her appearance, as youthful as a young maiden, as if she could maintain her youth forever.
“I have come especially for you, young man!”
The Double Pupils Woman hovered in mid-air, splashing waves of golden light around with the wave of her hand, turning into a golden stairway as radiant as daylight.
When speaking, the woman looked at Shi Hao, her eyes contained the universe within.
She had crossed numerous regions from afar to come to search for this young man.
First, she wanted to tell him that in the Stone Battle, Stone Toughness didn’t unleash the power of his double pupils. The power hadn’t fully displayed its capabilities, so the battle wasn’t fairly decided.
In addition, she was contesting for an artifact said to be the First Spiritual Root of the Lower World, in order to resurrect Stone Toughness.
Despite Stone Toughness having been killed by the youngster in front of her, she did not consider Shi Hao to be an enemy.
Although Stone Toughness did not truly exert the power of the Double Pupils, he was indeed defeated by the fair fight against the youngster in front of her.
A fair duel necessitates acceptance of the consequences of defeat. This is how the Heaven and Earth operate; the creatures within them should follow this rule all the more so!
Moreover, she was observing that battle from afar at the time, despite not being physically present.
Stone Toughness wrongfully walked the Dao path. He neither realized nor utilized the numerous potent abilities that his double pupils bestowed on him, which as a result, led to his defeat.
“The battle in the Void God Realm hasn’t determined whether Supreme Bone or Double Pupils are stronger. The greatest secrets of the Double Pupils were not displayed or embodied at all, so neither you nor Stone Toughness could truly claim victory!”
The woman spoke, and as she did, there was a gleam in her profound pupils that radiated as if opening up a Primordial Universe. Between sunrise and sunset, her eyes transformed into double pupils.
In that moment…
An intimidating aura was unveiled, frightening and formidable, causing the surrounding Heaven and Earth to rumble.
Shi Hao looked surprised.
Because the woman in front of him could merge her Double Pupils into one, indistinguishable from ordinary people, they could manifest and fade at will. This was very mysterious and far surpassed Little Dot’s imagination about Double Pupils, and she was far more adept at it than his elder brother.
“What do you want to do?” Little Dot, leaning on the Willow God, wasn’t too scared.
In particular, it seemed she had no intention of acting against him, otherwise she would not have been so calm and composed.
However, he recognized this grey-robed woman. If he wasn’t mistaken, she had once made a personal appearance in the Demon Spirit Lake, treating the complex formation of that Ancient Forbidden Land as if it was nonexistent, and had stolen Stone Toughness’s body under the watchful gaze of several Nobles.
“Don’t worry, I have no intention to harm you. Although Stone Toughness represented the future legacy of our Double Pupil lineage, you defeated him fair and square, so I have no room to question!”
The Double Pupil Woman spoke.
“What trick did you use, how do you know what’s on my mind?” Shi Hao was taken aback and then hastily retreated, quickly sealing off his Divine Sense to prevent further exposure.
This woman was very strange. She seemed to know what he was thinking, and this made him uncomfortable about his secrets being exposed at a glance.
“I haven’t used any tricks; it’s just that your mind is too cluttered!”
The gray-robed woman spoke.
“Ancient Heterochromatic One!”
From the side, the Willow God said, recognizing the identity of the gray-robed woman, but her eyes didn’t change much, and she remained composed.
The Ancient Heterochromatic One was indeed powerful, making a great name for herself during ancient times and being hailed as undefeated. But she didn’t mean anything to her.
The former made her name in ancient times, while the latter attained her Dao in the even more distant Ancient Immortal Era, and stepped into the Human Path Domain. To her, this Heterochromatic One was merely the younger generation.
She only knew about her because she had heard that the Ancient Heterochromatic One might have achieved Telepathy, having a powerful Mind Reading Technique that even beings at the Sect Leader Level couldn’t resist.
That particular Divine Skill was very potent as it could barge into one’s mind, seize the initiative. If used by an Existence of the Immortal King, it could have an effect like Chess One Step Ahead and cause instability on a battlefield of that level.
It seems, indeed, she had accomplished this rare Divine Child.
“Is there someone else?”
The Willow God asked, and only then did the Double Pupil Woman pay attention.
But in the next moment, light burst from her double pupils, and she stared at the Willow God in shock.
If it wasn’t for the other party speaking up, she might not have noticed her until now.
The most important thing was that the other party had been standing in front of her the whole time, and yet she had not sensed her presence at all till now.
