Yun Ziliang was also in an eavesdropping state.

But Li Changxun’s eavesdropping device was a self-controlled wild wind, while he relied on his connection with the earth, borrowing a stalk of foxtail grass near the carriage cabin as his eavesdropping tool.

He heard Li Changxun’s question on the side, glared at him fiercely, and said, "Are you freaking stupid? Xuanzi is clearly lying, do you know what lying is? It means only telling falsehoods, not truths,

if he’s already lying and you tell me it doesn’t sound true? Pig brain."

After reprimanding Li Changxun, Yun Ziliang continued to listen through the foxtail grass to the commotion on Zhou Xuan’s side.

"However, although it’s fake, the story is crafted to resemble the truth, with detailed points. Xuanzi truly deserves to be a good storyteller, he’s elevated the art of storytelling to a wondrous level."

...

Zhou Xuan continued recounting the legends,

and the Stargazing Token continued to speak: "Little Hulu, did you know why Zhou Xuan manifested the ’Day and Night Wandering God’ Dharma Image a few days ago?"

"Because Zhou Xuan’s perception has already surpassed the realm of ’Day Trip.’" 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"So single-minded."

The Stargazing Token expressed disdain, correcting Hulu Taoist’s angle of insight into mysteries, saying: "Why couldn’t it be the residual will of the ’Day and Night Wandering God’ that found Zhou Xuan?"

"Oh?! This perspective from the Earth God is a path I never considered."

"Humph, just know that Zhou Xuan’s manifestation was because he was chosen by the ’Day and Night Wandering God,’ and then everything else became logical."

The Stargazing Token began to connect all events, to provide Hulu Taoist, the Six-Eared Warrior, and other listeners with a well-crafted narrative...

"Look, the ’Day and Night Wandering God’ chose Zhou Xuan, making him his walker in the human world,

but the true purpose of the ’Day and Night Wandering God’ is to restore his own power.

To regain his power, he requires strong Human Desire Power, thus Zhou Xuan is giving grand performances in Mingjiang Prefecture, accumulating rich desire power,

under which Zhou Xuan hides in a temple, transforming into a giant egg, within which nurtures the ’Day and Night Wandering God.’"

Zhou Xuan’s storytelling reached this point, enlightening Hulu Taoist, who said: "I understand now... Earth God, so Zhou Xuan’s storytelling, in essence, is the resurrection tale of the ’Day and Night Wandering God’?"

"That’s one way to interpret it."

"However, one thing doesn’t add up. Zhou Xuan’s storytelling was decided long ago, and his manifestation of ’Day and Night Wandering God’ only happened in recent days. The timeline doesn’t quite match."

Zhou Xuan internally exclaimed "eh," realizing this "legend" had a bug, and immediately racked his brains to figure out how to fix it,

unexpectedly,

the Hulu Taoist suddenly clapped his hands and said: "Earth God, I got it - the resurrection of the ’Day and Night Wandering God’ has been planned long ago, and all events in the mortal world are nothing but his casually moved gears of fate."

Good that you got it, motherfucker!

Zhou Xuan immediately said: "Yes, that’s why, Little Hulu, you know why I promised you earlier, no matter if Zhou Xuan is alive or dead, I’ll reward you once it’s done!"

"I don’t quite understand."

"Because of the ’Day and Night Wandering God’ in the egg." The Stargazing Token said coldly, "Imagine, within that egg, lies an unborn will-level entity, and if I take over his body, ha, what would Zhou Xuan be worth then?"

"A drop in the ocean." Hulu Taoist was suddenly enlightened, realizing he never thought the Earth God’s planning and scope were so grand, targeting an unborn will-level entity.

"Not just a drop in the ocean, but the tip of a hair on a bull’s hide."

The Stargazing Token’s tone became passionate, saying: "Jing Country’s third will-level entity, how can Zhou Xuan compare?"

"Earth God, you are the true orchestrator... If you seize the body of the ’Day and Night Wandering God’, could you, could you..."

"Give you a bit of a reward?" the Stargazing Token asked.

"Yes! Yes! Yes!"

Hulu Taoist nodded repeatedly.

After a moment of silence, the Stargazing Token said: "The ’Day and Night Wandering God’ has sixteen arms and sixteen legs. Upon success, I’ll grant Dunjia Mountain one leg!"

"Thank you, Earth God, praise be to Earth God."

Hulu Taoist was excited beyond coherence, and the Stargazing Token interrupted him, saying: "Hold your thanks for now, the task at hand is crucial."

"However, to carry out the task, a bit of incentive is needed. Only when the incentive is appropriate, will dogs like you, old dogs, wholeheartedly commit to the task."

"Come, follow my guidance, let me show you the giant egg that nurtures the ’Day and Night Wandering God’."

The Stargazing Token suddenly emitted a cold light, illuminating a path,

one end leading inside the carriage, and the other straight to the gate of Turtle Mountain Taoist Temple...
