Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 1119 - 1112: A Plastic Partnership

"What did you take advantage of the fire to loot?" Ding Huan's domain locked onto Zuo Shanyi.

Although Ding Huan desperately wanted to crush Zuo Shanyi at once, he also knew full well that, while his path could suppress Zuo Shanyi, it could not keep him there.

He only hoped to lower Zuo Shanyi's guard through conversation, then strike suddenly.

What Ding Huan did not expect was that Zuo Shanyi actually retreated several dozen feet again before saying, "The item is useless to you; it's a thing for refining avatars, and its value is just that."

A treasure for condensing a Dao Thought body is absolutely a rarity.

He did not have it on him either.

Shi Keling seized this opportunity so well that even Ding Huan had to admire it.

This guy originally intended to ambush him, and when the ambush failed, he switched to ambushing Di Xin's Dao body to obtain the Supreme Treasure.

Ding Huan felt helpless; Zuo Shanyi was too cunning and had definitely guessed he wanted to ambush him.

Seeing that Ding Huan was ignoring him, Zuo Shanyi spoke again, "Ding Huan, after offending Di Xin, don't think you can narrowly escape his pursuit.

He will definitely not spare either of us; we must strike first, or we won't even know how we died.

You may not yet grasp the terror of Di Xin, but I do. In a direct confrontation, we don't stand a chance against him.

My intention is, when we head towards the center of Chaos in the future, we can join forces.

I have a few friends whose strength is not weak either. If you agree, I can persuade them to join against Di Xin."

Zuo Shanyi's conversational skills were high, unconsciously putting Ding Huan and himself on the same front.

Yet, he deliberately ignored the fact that he had obtained treasures from Di Xin's Dao body, while Ding Huan had gained nothing.

Though he spoke sincerely to Ding Huan, at the same time, Zuo Shanyi set up a Source Principle Restriction; Ding Huan would have to tear through this restriction to ambush him.

This sneaky bastard.

Ding Huan cursed inwardly, but could only abandon the ambush on Zuo Shanyi, "Shi Keling..."

Zuo Shanyi immediately interrupted Ding Huan, "Ding clan, I believe that since we plan to work together, we must respect each other. If you don't respect me, there's no reason for me to respect you.

If I don't find cooperation with you Ding clan, I have plenty of others to collaborate with. So the prerequisite to cooperation is that you call me by my name, not a nickname.

You may not fear Di Xin bothering you, and neither do I."

Zuo Shanyi was truly furious.

It's simply because he could neither kill Ding Huan nor do anything to him.

Otherwise, he would surely kill Ding Huan a thousand times over.

He never spares anyone who calls him 'Shi Keling'.

Ding Huan understood that to kill Shi Keling, he mustn't lose track of his information.

He knew Zuo Shanyi's rodent-like tendencies too well.

Once this guy decides to hide, unless Ding Huan refines the Ten Directions Universe, he would be impossible to find.

Watching Zuo Shanyi hiding nearby earlier, he could sense someone was present but had no idea where they were hiding—that's a skill.

If Zuo Shanyi's concealment was not strong, he couldn't possibly have outwitted Di Xin's Dao Thought body.

"Fine, I agree to cooperate. With Di Xin so powerful, relying solely on us and some of your friends might not suffice; I'll also bring some friends, the more the merrier, how about that?"

Ding Huan didn't know what kind of friends Zuo Shanyi had, but those with weaker power would surely not attract Zuo Shanyi's attention.

Zuo Shanyi calling friends to join forces against Di Xin likely also meant to target him first.

Just as well, he was looking to kill Zuo Shanyi too.

"Alright, it's a deal…"

Zuo Shanyi had just finished speaking, and before he could take out a Communication Bead, Ding Huan proactively tossed a Communication Bead over to Zuo Shanyi, "Here's the Communication Bead, we'll use this to stay in touch in the future."

Zuo Shanyi took the Communication Bead and felt quite helpless.

He had prepared a Communication Bead for Ding Huan, not expecting that before he could even say it, Ding Huan's bead had already ended up in his own hand.

This way, he had no way to tamper with Ding Huan's bead.

"But I can't contact you, what if I..."

Ding Huan waved his hand, "I have something to take care of, and before that gets done, you won't be able to contact me anyway. Once I'm done, I'll reach out to you, farewell for now."

With that, Ding Huan turned and left.

Since he couldn't take out Zuo Shanyi this time, he'd leave it for next time.

There's no reason to waste time here any further.

Seeing Ding Huan leave with Xian Qingan.

Zuo Shanyi felt utterly frustrated yet had no choice but to leave.

From here on, he'd have to wait for Ding Huan to contact him, leaving him in an extremely passive position.

He wasn't willing to discard the Communication Bead from Ding Huan.

Just like Ding Huan wanting to kill him, he harbored a strong desire to kill Ding Huan.

Moreover, Ding Huan's strength was truly formidable. If he could leverage Ding Huan against Di Xin, to kill Ding Huan and take out Di Xin opportunistically, it would be perfect.

Glancing at the Communication Bead in his hand, Zuo Shanyi took out a Jade Box, placed it inside, then layered it with restrictions before sending the Jade Box into his Tao World.

Ding Huan plans to contact him once his task is done?

Then he'll also wait until his matters are settled before letting Ding Huan reach him.

After Ding Huan and Zuo Shanyi left, Lady Lan only stood up with Gu Changyu's support.

When Di Xin attacked earlier, Lady Lan bore the brunt of it, suffering severe injuries.

In contrast, Gu Changyu was only lightly injured.

"Lady Lan..." Gu Changyu looked worried.

Lady Lan waved it off, "It's nothing."

She looked at where the Longevity Palace had long since disappeared, knowing that it was unlikely to be rebuilt.

The Taoist Sect emphasizes the importance of fate.

After her Longevity Palace was destroyed, it was subsequently wiped out, and finally, even this piece of space was shattered.

This indicates that the Longevity Palace lacked the fortune necessary for reconstruction; rebuilding it would be meaningless.

"Shouldn't we move our Longevity Palace to another location..."

Before Gu Changyu could finish speaking, Tan Tai Zhi Lan waved her hand: "No need, the Longevity Palace won't be rebuilt. But I feel that Ding Huan seems to have an unusual interest in you, did you know him before?"

Gu Changyu shook her head: "It's my first time seeing him, never met him before, let alone knowing him."

"Where have you been before?"

After Tan Tai Zhi Lan asked this question, she suddenly realized she never cared a bit about this maid.

Since Gu Changyu returned, she only asked her to do tasks for her without enquiring about Gu Changyu's past.

She didn't even ask how Gu Changyu survived under Eternal God Saint Shen Huang's hand.

She really didn't care, in her eyes, a maid was of no concern to her.

"I have a beloved disciple named Qi Xinyue, her Divine Soul is incomplete, I've been searching for Treasures to restore her Divine Soul.

But upon returning, Xinyue had also disappeared, and I couldn't find her either, alas..."

In Gu Changyu's heart, her biggest worry remained Qi Xinyue.

Tan Tai Zhi Lan might be her master, but to Gu Changyu, they only have a master-servant relationship.

Her bond with Qi Xinyue runs deeper; it's a kind of kinship.

Qi Xinyue doesn't have high cultivation, and her Divine Soul is incomplete, the passing years seem ominous.

This distressed her greatly.

Qi Xinyue?

Tan Tai Zhi Lan's eyes lit up: "Besides Qi Xinyue, do you have other acquaintances or friends?"

Gu Changyu shook her head: "No, I'm not talkative by nature, and have no friends. Plus, in the Longevity Palace, I'm from the Longevity lineage, having no relation with the Yong Shen lineage."

Gu Changyu knew Tan Tai Zhi Lan's disposition well; she didn't even mention her once holding control over the Longevity Palace.

"Show me Qi Xinyue's image."

Gu Changyu was puzzled, but she still raised her hand and drew Qi Xinyue's image in the Void.

"Good, indeed, very good..."

Tan Tai Zhi Lan's words were somewhat cryptic.

Gu Changyu couldn't understand why Tan Tai Zhi Lan was so excited.

Tan Tai Zhi Lan had already figured out the situation.

Through a series of events, she discerned that Ding Huan is decisively ruthless and leaves no mercy in his actions.

Otherwise, the Shi Keling that tried to ambush Di Xin couldn't have called Ding Huan the Ding Clan Extinguisher.

It shows Ding Huan must have wiped out entire clans before.

Could someone so ruthless tolerate her just because of her looks?

She herself didn't believe it.

Since Ding Huan doesn't tolerate her because of her looks, it must be for some other reason.

She and Ding Huan have no connections, why would Ding Huan tolerate her?

Ding Huan treats Gu Changyu better than her, yet Gu Changyu doesn't know Ding Huan.

Gu Changyu has a disciple, Qi Xinyue, which made her speculate Ding Huan may be tolerant due to Qi Xinyue, the better treatment towards Gu Changyu.

Otherwise, no other reason fits.

She just saw Qi Xinyue's appearance, which strengthened her belief.

Ding Huan could outmatch Di Xin's Dao Thought embodiment, proving his strength makes him a future master of this Universe, at least one among them.

A feat she yearns for but cannot achieve, Ding Huan might accomplish.

Next, she wants to enquire if Ding Huan and Qi Xinyue know each other.

If they do, she must find Qi Xinyue to approach Ding Huan.

...

"Master Xian, do you know this person, Di Xin?"

After leaving the Longevity Palace, Ding Huan began inquiring about Di Xin.

Xian Qingan's face turned solemn: "I've heard that the World of Gods in this segment of the Universe was created by Di Xin?

But the World of Gods only has legends about this person, I never knew if they really existed, let alone lived."

Ding Huan understood.

Xian Qingan meant the rules of the Universe of the World of Gods were established by Di Xin.

Regardless of Di Xin's strength, people cultivating in the Universe of the World of Gods inherently rank lower than Di Xin.

If truly so, it would be terrifying.

Di Xin is equivalent to the Heavenly Dao of the World of Gods.

However, Ding Huan reckoned it's unlikely.

If Di Xin were the Heavenly Dao, even a Dao Thought body wouldn't allow Shi Keling to scheme.

According to his understanding of the Ten Directions Universe, the Heavenly Dao of any Universe is a natural path, incapable of self-awareness.

Neither their kind nor even the nine powerful beings of the First Universe would permit self-aware Heavenly Dao in the Ten Directions Universe.
