Otherworldly Desert Dust

```

What am I to do now?

Mother Nuwa, grant me another life.

I might as well give up this life, consider it the price for my Lao Liu's actions!

"Lord Wu Hen, someone has ascended from Yinji Tomb. Why are you so panicked?" Shen Wenhai asked, puzzled.

"My identity as an Awakener is as Liu Mengying's co-buried spouse, and I stepped on her to snatch away the Death Omen Yuan You... I have to leave a descendant for my Wu Family, as it's impossible with my nun sister." Wu Hen said.

"Before you rush to have descendants, since you took the Death Omen Yuan You, why did she ascend instead?" Shen Wenhai inquired.

Wu Hen slightly calmed down at these words.

Right!

I stole the Death Omen Yuan You, so why did Liu Mengying ascend??

Logically, I should have ruined her grand plan of ascension, been the stinking catfish that hindered her from leaping over the Dragon Gate. She should have fallen to mortality, bound to stay in the cursed place of Red Port for life.

"The situation may not be as bad as Lord Wu Hen thinks." Shen Wenhai tried to soothe Wu Hen's restless emotions.

"Yes, yes, yes, send people to scout for information again..."

"We can't scout anymore. She ascended and became Hua Chen, completely in the stature of a deity. Even our most powerful photography techniques can't capture her contour." Shen Wenhai explained.

Even using satellite-grade cameras, all they could capture was a bright light.

"Is it that amazing?" This was the first time Wu Hen heard that a deity who became Hua Chen possessed such characteristics.

He couldn't help but wonder why Liu Mengying had ascended.

Clearly I had the Death Omen Yuan You in my hand, and all the Yuan You Energy had been devoured by Little Yi.

"Could it be similar to our case with Nuwa God End? Because we are the offspring of Nuwa God End, the process of us obtaining and absorbing Yuan You Energy is the best form of nourishment for Nuwa God End?" Shen Wenhai proposed his idea.

"You mean there's some kind of tie... Yes, Liu Mengying could borrow strength from me. When she was weak, I was her mobile Mana jar." Wu Hen said.

"Then there's no mistake. If there's some special contract between you and Liu Mengying, you obtaining the Death Omen Yuan You means she gets to share it too. She most likely just needed Death Omen Yuan You's soul truth, whereas you needed its energy. Each takes what they need; or maybe her ascension actually needed a process of ascetic practice and peak-reaching. The ways of ascension in this world are very bizarre, some people might become immortals just by winning a chess game, while others might dominate countless otherworldly planets but still remain mortal." Shen Wenhai shared his insights.

On hearing this, Wu Hen thought it made a lot of sense.

But I didn't know a thing about that.

My impulsive move toward Death Omen Yuan You would look like betrayal in Liu Mengying's eyes.

With her unexpected ascension, she'd certainly settle accounts with me, wouldn't she?

"Now that she has ascended, she'll leave this tiny Red Port, won't she? After all, the wider world is where an Underworld Priest like her should go to enlighten beings." Wu Hen suggested.

"Certainly, the Red Tide of Red Port can no longer hold her." Shen Wenhai affirmed.

"Should I hide for a while?"

"As a host, she shouldn't know it's you, right?" Shen Wenhai wondered.

"No, no, no, you can't underestimate the people of the Yinji Sect. Back in Yinzhou, when I killed the Lord of Yinzhou, a Yin Pole Xuan Lady threw out a mirror. That mirror could reflect my soul truth, like installing a heaven's eye above my house door, possessing vast Divine Skills, not to be taken lightly." Wu Hen spoke earnestly.

"If she really comes to kill, we'll mobilize the strength of the whole globe to protect you." Shen Wenhai's tone turned serious as well.

"Her strength now may be several times more terrifying than the Purple Robed Master. Our little world might not withstand her single nuclear hellfire." Wu Hen shook his head.

If Liu Mengying really comes to kill, Wu Hen would have to find a geomantic treasure spot outside, determined not to involve his family.

Where is the headquarters island of the Longevity Sect? It seems like a decent place; even if I have to die, I'd still make one last contribution to all of humanity.

"Chu Zhi and Liu Mengying are on very good terms. How about we cede some more resources to them and ask her to plead on your behalf?" Shen Wenhai suggested.

"We just killed a Longevity Envoy of the Longevity Sect. If she doesn't kick me while I'm down, that would already prove she's a True Saint Mother. Every man for himself, at worst I'll bite the bullet, and in twenty years, I'll still be a hero!" Wu Hen stated.

"Lord Wu Hen, considering she is an Underworld Priest, if we go by the mythologies passed down from our ancestors, if you die, she will definitely come to fetch your soul personally. Then, whether you get to reincarnate will depend on her mood. She might even toss you into the Beast Path for reincarnation, and after twenty years, you'll no longer be the hero; maybe in half a year, you'll be sent to the slaughterhouse... If there really is something like the Eighteen Layers of Hell, that would be even more troublesome." Shen Wenhai pointed out.

"I appreciate your reminder." Wu Hen wanted to cry but had no tears.

Exactly, there is no simple solution!

Your life's neck is at stake, and before dinner can be served, you find yourself sizzling in a frying pan. The Yinji Priest deals with the dead.

I've slaughtered the Yinji Priests for miles around, and the only Priest left is Liu Mengying, who has also marked my soul with the Yin Department's Eye. Even if I were to jump into a crematorium's furnace, she could turn into Black and White Impermanence to appear in front of me and say coldly, "Time to go!"

"Wu Hen, if there's anything you want to eat lately, Mom will cook it for you." Just then, Yu Yi's voice came from downstairs.
