Master of Strange Dao

Yu Ziqing did not rush out of the locust forest but first looked for Song to have a chat.

The power of the Three Calamities continuously surged in. He wondered what the Earth Devil Venerate's desperate resistance had triggered and decided to ask about the situation.

Upon entering, he saw several days' worth of messages.

There were messages from Song, labeled as No.1, and from Duke Lin's son, labeled as No.5.

They were all greetings.

Sensing Yu Ziqing's summons, Song Chengyue came in immediately.

He saw Yu Ziqing and asked,

"Are you okay?"

"Not really. Not only did my physical body and Divine Soul suffer severe damage, but my spirit did as well. I've been in a deep sleep for recovery and have consumed Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. It's taken more than twenty days to wake up, and it'll probably take several years more to fully recover."

"Then rest well, don't worry about other matters."

"I would love to rest, but I'm sure your Emperor is also eager to know how things are in Dadui."

"That is true, His Majesty has already asked me twice."

"As for the situation inside, you must already know it. Let me tell you what you don't know.

The Earth Devil Venerate has not completely fallen. If Dadui returns in a hundred years or even several hundred years, there will be a tremendous impact.

At that time, it won't just be the Three Divine Dynasties that will have to endure such an impact.

There might also be several Great Devils seizing this opportunity to break out of the Abyss.

They're not like the Earth Devil Venerate, who has been weakened to the extreme, unable to even form a physical body.

When you have the ability to face multiple Great Devils of at least the Tenth Tier, we can talk then.

It's not that I don't want Dadui to return, but you're afraid to let Dadui return."

That was indeed a possibility. How likely it was, one couldn't say.

Song Chengyue's expression changed slightly at these words. He knew only that the matter would be very troublesome.

Those returning from the archway only mentioned Dadui, each looking as if they'd seen a ghost.

But he hadn't expected the situation to be so frightening.

"I'll report it to His Majesty, take good care of yourself."

"By the way, a question. Have the frequent natural disasters around the world not been mitigated, or have they already led to man-made disasters?"

"Most have been mitigated. The overall situation is even more stable than before."

Song Chengyue said this, thought for a moment, and added,

"It's not just in Daqian, Dali, Dazhen, the East Sea, the Wilderness, or the Southern Sea. It's quiet now, no major natural disasters, and even minor ones are less frequent than before."

"Hmm, then it's fine."

Yu Ziqing stepped out from the Seventh Floor ring, having roughly deduced some things in his mind.

The Three Calamities' power, which continued to flood in, likely did not originate from Dadui or the present world. It most likely came from the Abyss.

The Abyss was truly something no one could deal with.

He could only let it be.

Anyway, as long as he waited quietly, and once the Earth Devil Venerate was completely assimilated, everything would settle.

Subsequently, a plan needed to be made to resolve the disasters in An History Book.

The accumulated Three Calamities' power had been exhausted, so resolving the disasters in An History Book should be much easier now.

Increasing Dadui's national fortune was the simplest and most direct approach.

All these things, however, could be planned for later.

Yu Ziqing stood up and glanced at the Big Ghost beside him.

"Hunger Ghosts in the hunger ghost banner, ask them if they prefer to stay inside the banner or want to live outside.

If they want to live outside, I'll prepare a residence for them."

"Master, they said inside the hungry ghost banner is quite good, the atmosphere suits them well, so they'll stay there for now."

"Well, I'll prepare for them just in case. Here, you don't have to worry about safety, always maintaining Ninth Tier strength."

Yu Ziqing had a rough idea that those hungry ghosts only wanted to help him.

If they all came out, the power borrowed by the Big Ghost might dissipate, and the Big Ghost would revert to its original form.

Yu Ziqing casually broke a locust tree branch, took out a wooden bowl, flew into the air, and with a drop of sweet rain on the branch, he sprinkled it down continuously.

New locust trees sprang up, transforming into new residences for the hungry ghosts.

He walked in the air, circling around the locust forest, not expanding too fast, and eventually cast the four corners in the northeast, northwest, southeast, and southwest, enclosing a large wasteland.

Expanding further, the Jinlan Mountain area would stretch two to three thousand miles, which wouldn't be a good thing if the base was too large, as it would take several days to patrol around.

While sprinkling sweet rain and planting trees, Yu Ziqing also consumed some of the Three Calamities' power, casting rosy clouds to illuminate the land, covering Jinlan Mountain in one sweep.

If he didn't consume it, a portion of the power would be absorbed by the Earth Devil Venerate, used to resist digestion.

As the rosy clouds illuminated, strands of the weak Three Calamities' power were continuously eradicated, and vitality and hope began to spread.

Some hidden dangers were also eliminated.

Yu Ziqing felt the atmosphere of the locust forest, and changed his perception of this purely auxiliary Divine Skill.

At least the aura felt much more comfortable, and the long-term effects were yet to be seen, but they were surely positive.

After finishing planting trees, Yu Ziqing decided to enter the inner circle of the locust forest, illuminating the area between Jinlan Mountain and the locust forest.

He quickly shone light over Jinlan Mountain, but the rosy clouds illuminating Jinlan Mountain were silently absorbed by the Jade Tomb beneath it.
