The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 619 - 127: Isn’t This Goddess the Best in the World?
"Mortal, open your eyes and behold your God."
As Gao Qing imagined a terrifying scene with a thousand eyes and a thousand tentacles, which was enough to cause mental pollution and send shivers down her spine, she suddenly heard that majestic and sacred female voice.
Gao Qing felt panic in her heart, fearing the dreadful sight she might witness, but she didn’t dare to disobey. Having come this far, invoked the name of the deity, how could she easily abandon the metaphorical ship of thieves she found herself on?
When she lifted her gaze, to her surprise, she found no tentacle monster or creature with multiple eyes. Instead, there was clearly a young girl with bright eyes and white teeth. Indeed, her eyes were large, but there were only two, and there was a red mark between her eyebrows.
Her pupils were the color of gemstone red, and Gao Qing felt dazzled and mesmerized just by looking into her eyes.
Qian Qian was speechless. Are the young people of today so brave?
To dare to make eye contact with a divine being was to risk shortening one’s life.
If it weren’t for the fact that she had reined in her divine skills and was merely a projection, Gao Qing would have turned into an idiot on the spot.
Stung by Qian Qian’s gaze, Gao Qing dared not look into her eyes anymore and quickly turned her attention to her hands and feet instead.
Qian Qian was wearing a large white dress that completely covered her feet, but her hands that were exposed were slender and fair.
This God clearly resembled a human!
Why then is she called Thousand Hands and Eyes? The acolyte’s statues too were adorned with numerous eyes and hands, causing those with trypophobia to react. Were it not for Gao Qing’s familiarity with rearing Gu worms, making her feel oddly affectionate, any ordinary person would have fled long ago, not daring to chant the true name.
What Gao Qing didn’t know was that in the divine world, hands symbolize strength and skill, representing divine skills, while eyes are for observation, extending to perception, representing wisdom.
Thousand Hands and Eyes does not mean she has a thousand eyes and a thousand hands, but that her divine power is formidable and her wisdom profound.
Of course, Qian Qian could indeed manifest a thousand hands and eyes; this was one of her divine skills, most effective in garnering the faith of her devotees. Thus, her statues prominently featured eyes and hands.
After seeing Qian Qian’s true form, Gao Qing couldn’t help but be conquered by her beauty. Indeed, worthy of being an immortal, such beauty in the Mortal Realm probably only one... two or three others could match.
Qian Qian: "???"
Am I not the foremost in the world?
The quality of this generation’s acolytes is truly poor.
Having shown her form and finding the reaction lukewarm, Qian Qian became a bit self-conscious.
She asked irritably, "Are you saying there are women in the Mortal Realm with beauty comparable to mine?"
Indeed, whether a woman or a goddess, their appearance is always a matter of concern.
Gao Qing panicked inside, realizing that the gods knew even what she was thinking, and she dared not let her mind wander further.
Impatiently, Qian Qian urged, "Answer the words of your God."
With no alternative, Gao Qing honestly responded. From the women she had seen, Lin Yu definitely counted as one, Dongfang Hongyue as well, and it was said there was a beauty called the Flower Fairy who could be compared with Lin Yu—that made three she had seen, and it wouldn’t be hard to imagine a fourth from those she hadn’t.
Her thoughts were perfectly reasonable.
If Lin Yun were to answer, he might be more accurate—the most beautiful woman in the world was his wife. If not, she just might become his wife in the future.
As Gao Qing reminisced, the images of Lin Yu and Dongfang Hongyue came to mind.
Unfamiliar with the Flower Fairy’s appearance, Gao Qing couldn’t picture her, and the two women she mentioned, Qian Qian had seen before.
"Heh, ignorant human beings."
Can Lin Yu compare to her beauty?
She might just pass, but Lin Yu’s legs weren’t as long as hers.
Dongfang Hongyue might just be able to compare, but when it came to the curves of her figure, there was no comparison.
Ultimately, there was no need to quibble with an ignorant person, especially given she was a woman who judged only by appearance. Next time, it would be more convincing to have a man’s judgment.
Of course, not just any man had the right to critique and comment on a God—if he spoke out of line, Qian Qian would not hesitate to show him what a demon god was like.
Returning to the matter at hand, after mocking Gao Qing, Qian Qian directly said, "As my follower, who chants my true name, you must dedicate everything to me. In return, I will bestow upon you strength and bring you protection."
"Many thanks, great deity."
Gao Qing quickly expressed her gratitude. This was precisely what she needed most. As for what she needed to devote, she had nothing of value to offer anyway.
"The most valuable thing you have is yourself."
Gao Qing: "!!?"
This is a goddess, could it be that she has such preferences?
Noticing Gao Qing’s thoughts, Qian Qian couldn’t help but grind her teeth.
Could there be at least one normal person among my followers?
As Gao Qing realized she had offended the divine and hastily shifted her thoughts, Qian Qian pretended to have noticed nothing and continued, "I need you to do three things for me: first, preach discreetly; second, accumulate merit for me; and third, elevate your status to garner fate and fortune for me."
Gao Qing: "..."
To put it simply, from now on, she had to work for the Thousand Hands and Eye God.
Not regretting it, feeling the divine power filling her body, Gao Qing actually felt it was a fair deal.
"I did have a bit of status in the Southern Border, but now..."
Gao Qing didn’t finish her sentence, but Qian Qian already understood. In the struggle, although Gao Qing was the victor, she didn’t reap the fruits of victory. And in the Central Plains, as a foreigner, she had stirred up trouble, making it difficult for her to even move around, let alone enhance her status or gain fortune.
"The opportunity to earn merit is right in front of you, but these waters run deep. It depends on whether you can grasp it or not."
Deep waters?
As soon as water was mentioned, Gao Qing’s mind was filled with the image of Qing Shui, that suffocating pain, which now made her a bit afraid of water.
"What is she thinking? Why can’t I read her thoughts again?"
Qian Qian found something strange once more; she couldn’t read Gao Qing’s thoughts. There were also parts missing when she tried to read her memory earlier. She hadn’t paid attention to it then, but now it seemed that Gao Qing must have encountered something unusual.
However, it didn’t matter anymore.
Qian Qian didn’t have much time left, and without waiting for Gao Qing to ask questions, she told her the news about the Old People.
It was an opportunity to obtain both merit and fortune. It was up to Gao Qing how she would use it.
Compared to Baili Liuyun, she had higher hopes for Gao Qing.
"In times of peril, you may ignite the Spirit Grass, sprinkle the Thousand Dream Pollen, place the eyes of a Six Pupil Black Fish, and call my true name to receive my help. Remember, this method is not to be used lightly. I hope that when I see you next time, you have already prepared what I desire."
Having given Gao Qing a means to save her life, Qian Qian fell into a deep slumber once again.
The Confinement had loosened, but the time she could stay awake was limited.
When the Underground Palace returned to silence, Gao Qing suddenly found all of this too surreal, like a dream.
But with a mere thought, she produced six arms.
These were not real limbs, but illusionary ones, yet they looked no different from real ones and could even be used for digging soil.
Not only that, but each arm could also perform different actions at the same time. This was simply too perfect for her.
Gao Qing’s forte was Gu Worms and concealed weapons, but a person has only two hands, and couldn’t handle them all. Now with six additional hands to use, her combat abilities were sure to be vastly different.
After excitedly experimenting, Gao Qing withdrew her divine skills.
With the power bestowed by the gods, she now had to do the work of the gods as well. But how would she use the clues about the Old People?
In an instant, the image of Lin Yun flashed through Gao Qing’s mind.
She certainly was guilty of stealing Zhen Li’s treasure, but if she could return it, she should be able to lessen her sin—she just needed a mediator to smooth things over. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
And Lin Yun had great status in the Central Plains; seeking his help would be most appropriate.
It would be a win-win situation. If Lin Yun still felt shortchanged, she wasn’t averse to offering herself in marriage.
Anyway, she should first crawl out of the Underground Palace!
The Jade Ruyi could help her quickly find Lin Yun, but after sensing its magical properties, Gao Qing felt that this object, which could be used by anyone and still possessed great power, must come with a price she was unaware of.
The unknown was the most terrifying, but Gao Qing wouldn’t discard it. Keeping it with her was somewhat of a lifeline. Moreover, she wanted to return it to Zhen Li.
For now, she would make her way step by step on her own!
Mount Heavenly Dragon, a place difficult for people to reach. A sinister violet scar, like a hideous wound, split the beautiful landscape of Mount Heavenly Dragon in two.
The violet scar stretched about a thousand feet long but was only half a meter wide, and one would hardly see such a sight without venturing deep into Mount Heavenly Dragon.
Below that violet crevice, the valley was densely packed with people.
Mount Heavenly Dragon was a forbidden area for humans. This was probably the first time so many people coexisted on it.
And in that valley, teeming with so many people, not a single sound was made.
It wasn’t until a cat dozing off in the treetops snored too loudly that people below looked up, proving they were alive and not inanimate.
The Black Cat was sleeping soundly when it suddenly felt an explosive sense of danger. Without even waking up, it leapt ten feet in the air, narrowly avoiding a sharp Gengjin’s Qi.
Realizing it had been attacked, the Black Cat turned its baleful gaze around, ready to curse, but when it saw a pair of cold eyes, the cat instantly wilted.
There stood an imposing person in white-gold armor, the leader of the Tai Bai Divine Kingdom Exploration Vanguard, a ruthless individual who rarely spoke, encased in white-gold armor with only their eyes exposed.
No one had ever heard them talk, nor did they know if they were male or female. In any case, people referred to them as Your Highness, presumably a prince or princess of the Tai Bai Divine Kingdom.
This person was exceedingly ruthless, relaying all commands through a subordinate, and if someone did not follow the arrangements, they would draw their sword to enforce them.
The Tai Bai Divine Kingdom Exploration Vanguard had come a long way, and three had perished at this person’s hand.
The first sword was a warning, the second sword inflicted injury, and the third sword was lethal.
That last one had been a warning.
The Black Cat’s scalp tingled with dread—I used up one of my escapes from death for a nap?
