The captain opened his mouth to say something, but before he could say anything, the clay fox in the sky had already walked over with enchanting steps. Her waist swayed with alluring grace, and Her breasts and butt undulated as She arrived in front of Xu Qing.
Tenderness appeared in Her beautiful eyes as She spoke softly.
"Stinky brother, you've lost weight. Have you missed me during this time?"
Xu Qing hesitated and stood up to bow.
"Greetings, Star Flame High God."
His words turned into a trace of resentment in the eyes of the clay fox.
"Stinky brother, it seems like you don't miss me anymore."
At that moment, with Her arrival, the heir and the others became vigilant.
Endless sourness surfaced in the captain's heart. He instinctively looked at the gray color in the sky. He felt that life wasn't worth it. Why were they both high gods but the difference was so great?
One ignored him and even wanted to kill him. As for the other, Her eyes and heart were filled with thoughts of his junior brother.
That was fine. The most important thing was that one of them wasn't good-looking and the other was really quite good-looking.
This caused the captain's heart to stir, especially when he heard the other party's words. He felt that as the eldest senior brother, it was necessary for him to answer on behalf of Xu Qing. Hence, he took a few steps forward and coughed.
"Sister Star Flame, my little junior brother is a little shy. I'll answer on his behalf. He misses you very much."
The clay fox frowned and glanced at the captain with a look of disdain.
"Kidney, don't talk to me. I'm worried that my stinky brother will misunderstand, so please scram and stay away from me."
The captain took a deep breath. Regardless of whether it was in his previous lives or this life, no one had ever called him by the term 'kidney'. If he could defeat Her, he would definitely bash Her furiously at this moment.
However, after thinking about the difference between them, the captain silently lowered his head and retreated behind Xu Qing, sighing inwardly that eighth grandfather was better at speaking when compared to the clay fox.
The clay fox looked at Xu Qing and licked Her lips. Just as She was about to continue speaking, the sky rumbled and the voice of the Moon Flame High God rang out.
"Coquettish fox, are you coming or not!"
The clay fox smiled at Xu Qing.
"Stinky brother, I'll go fight first, we'll have a bit later."
As She spoke, Her body swayed and She headed straight for the abstract painting in the sky. After She fused into it, there was an additional pink color in the painting. At that moment, the four colors fused together, causing the sky to tremble violently.
The vortex in the painting spun even faster. One could only vaguely see the redness inside, as though it was being suppressed.
However, the strength of Crimson Goddess was also displayed at this moment. Even when Li Zihua fought against her head-on with the Moon Flame and Star Flame supporting him, they still couldn't completely shake Crimson Goddess.
Gradually, the expressions of the heir and the others turned solemn. The captain was also a little anxious. In the end, he gritted his teeth fiercely.
"Looks like you still have to rely on me at crucial moments!"
"My ex-wife is too weak!"
"Junior Brother, come help me out. Later, use this to knock on my head, put some force into it!"
As he spoke, the captain took out a scepter and threw it to Xu Qing.
Xu Qing caught it and his gaze fell upon it. The scepter was completely blue, emitting a faint and enticing aura, making it hard to look away after a while.
This scepter was the item in the hands of the body formed by the captain's past life body's ears on the Heavenly Bull Mountain.
"Great Sacrificial Dream Scepter!"
Xu Qing looked at the captain.
"That's right. I'm preparing to send the dream images I prepared in my previous life to Crimson Goddess to awaken Her humanity and make Her lose Her balance!"
The captain's eyes revealed madness. After he finished speaking, a blue worm flew out of his body and landed on the ground. Then, his body swayed, with his sleeves fluttering, and he raised his hands, performing a strange dance..
Like a ritual, he rapidly spun on the ground of the Moon Palace.
As the dance continued, there was a chant coming from his mouth. Although it was impossible to hear what he was singing, one could sense the complexity within.
This scene attracted the attention of the heir and the others. As Old Eighth watched, a strange glint appeared in his eyes.
"Interesting…"
As the captain chanted and danced, lumps of fog gradually appeared on his body, displaying a myriad of colors. As they intermingled, a hazy scene emerged within these colorful mists, countless images blending into each other.
Those scenes were all dreams.
Some of these dreams were beautiful, some were sad, some were painful, and some were infatuating. They contained all the facets of human nature.
To cultivators, these dreams were like countless lives. If all of them surged into their minds, it would be like entering reincarnation and experiencing all kinds of lives. They would feel as though they had experienced countless years.
If it was serious, they would lose themselves.
However, to gods, the meaning of these dreams was different from cultivators.
It was still fine for innate gods, but for postnatal gods, their humanity, beastly nature, and divinity had already reached a balance. If any point was magnified, it could lead to collapse and imbalance.
Hence, to the postnatal gods, the dreams of these human natures were highly toxic.
However, under normal circumstances, the damage this poison caused to gods wasn't as great as one would imagine. They only needed an instant to make use of the burning of the divine fire and the divinity would be able to suppress everything, rebalancing the unbalanced state.
However, now that Crimson Goddess was fighting against Li Zihua and the two high gods, the imbalance in that instant became very significant.
Xu Qing realized all of this, and so did the heir and the others. Hence, all of their eyes lit up. The heir thought about it and blew out a breath, merging the power of cognition into the captain's fog.
The fog churned even more and absorbed the cognition power, becoming even denser.
Princess Mingmei fell quiet and sent over a wisp of the River of Time, giving this hazy dream a sense of time and space.
Old Eighth used the power of seven emotions and six desires, making the human nature in the dream more real, and this was more effective than the abilities of the heir and Princess Mingmei.
After all, Old Eighth's authority was emotions. This was a manifestation of human nature. Hence, after he attacked, the color of the fog became much more dazzling.
The captain's dance became faster and faster. The fog became denser and contained more dreams.
It could be seen that the captain had prepared extremely well for this in his previous life.
A while later, when all the dreams were formed, the captain's body suddenly trembled and he stood there motionless.
Only the voice that echoed from countless dreams penetrated all the dreams and appeared in Xu Qing's ears.
"Junior Brother!"
Xu Qing didn't hesitate. He held the scepter and rushed into the dream fog. In an instant, dreams appeared in front of him. However, the scepter in his hand emitted a blue light that enveloped Xu Qing, preventing him from being drawn into those dreams.
Xu Qing continued forward, passing through dream after dream until he reached the captain's side. He then lifted the scepter in his hand and ruthlessly slammed it down on the captain's head.
Previously, the captain had asked Xu Qing to exert force. Hence, Xu Qing didn't hesitate and went all out. As he smashed down, the captain's head directly exploded.
However, no flesh and blood splattered out. Instead, a large number of bubbles erupted in all directions from the head. These bubbles swept up the surrounding fog and headed straight for the sky.
In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the abstract painting in the sky and shattered.
Every shattering caused the vortex in the painting to reverse. There was also a heart-rending sound. After all the bubbles shattered, the vortex in the sky became a mess.
The eye inside began to bleed and the blood-red heart inside throb rapidly.
The irregular figures formed by the touching eyelashes began to devour each other like shadows.
The captain's attack caused a change in this divine battle.
As the blue worm he had reserved squirmed, his figure rapidly gathered again and appeared beside Xu Qing.
"These human dreams are enough to make that elderly hag Crimson Goddess suffer," the captain said proudly.
It was also at this moment that the figure of the Ancient Spirit Emperor, who had been hiding and only made a move at the critical moment, instantly appeared.
It was no longer an eye but thousands of bloody eyes. They were all filled with greed and headed straight for the blurry vortex in the sky from all directions.
In an instant, they fused into the vortex, causing the vortex to gain another color.
With His participation, this abstract painting became increasingly blurry and gradually revealed a scene.
The figures of Crimson Goddess' feathered flesh, Moon Flame's antler body, and Star Flame's silhouette intertwined and flashed by in an instant.
However, compared to Crimson Goddess and Moon Flame, although Star Flame's figure had also changed, Her overall charm was still intense.
The most conspicuous one was Li Zihua.
He seemed to have maintained his original form from the start. At this moment, when his figure was revealed, his right hand was lifted and he pointed at the void.
Immediately, the Moon Palace rumbled. A huge illusory shadow stepped through space and time and walked into the sky.
It was a huge fire behemoth. It had the body of a horse, the head of a crocodile, and the tail of a dragon. At this moment, it stepped on the sea of fire and descended. Its eyes carried majesty and its body emitted an olden aura. As it appeared, traces formed by rules and laws appeared around it.
At the next instant, a second figure descended in a similar way. It was a headless giant with a pair of black eyes on its chest that revealed anger. It carried the sea and arrived here.
Its body also emitted an olden aura.
Immediately after, the third, fourth, fifth… Many figures filled with ancient auras arrived one after another and appeared in the sky.
Among them were solemn-looking human figures, illusory spirits, golden seals, and mutated beings whose malevolence wasn't inferior to gods… There were a total of 99 of them.
"Immemorial Heavenly Dao!"
The captain gazed at all of this and uttered in a low voice. At the same time, the distant sky churned again. After the 99 Immemorial Heavenly Dao appeared, another one actually appeared.
It was a giant baby crawling over…
The giant baby emitted a whimpering sound, resembling the resounding roar of thunder echoing in all directions. Tears streamed from its eyes, creating a torrential downpour, and the nasal mucus beneath its nose scattered, forming patches of illusory mud.
However, it was a little far away and didn't seem to be able to crawl here.
Looking at the giant baby, the captain's eyes revealed an intense glint. He abruptly twisted his head and gazed at Xu Qing.
Xu Qing also noticed the giant baby. At this moment, an unprecedented strange light appeared in his eyes.
"Son?"
The two uttered at the same time.
