Gathering More Forces

--- Chapter 322 ---

Azure Cloud Continent, Shizu's Secret Realm.

The 200th Ancestral Goddess, now known as Shizu, is silently observing the mystery of the Primal Chaos Dimension. She noticed two fleeting lights entering the universe and frowned, "Again." 

"Last time, it was Master and Yuechan who dealt with these parasites."

"Now, they sent another trash to our home." 

"How annoying..." Shizu smacked her lips, thinking of a method to protect the Primal Chaos Dimension. She could have access to the universe's will from the secret backdoor she left behind to strengthen the defense of Primal Chaos Dimension, but that means she must contact the "true" Ancestral Goddess, a.k.a the original Ancestor Goddess, who hasn't reincarnated.

The issue is talking with that Ancestral Goddess is too damn hard, if not impossible. Only those with immense fates could meet and communicate with that Ancestral Goddess. Yu Long is an example of that.

Shizu closed her eyes and mumbled, "Master should have received the first test of the Destroyers (Asura), which means the opening time is very close." 

"Timing, timing, we need excellent timing to repel these invaders." 

"Blue Pole Star is too secluded. It would be nice to ring an alarm in the Divine Realm."

"However, we might want an unwanted alliance with these invaders, especially with how greedy those things are." 

"Do I really have to use the Snow Song Realm? I could ask Mu Bingyun to contact her sister and Chi Wuyao..." 

"The power of Nothern Divine Region could help a lot." 

"You seemed in a deep thought, Head Maid." A voice snapped Shizu from her thoughts.

Shizu glanced back and saw Ling Zhiyun bringing Ni Wanhu, Ni Yeyue, and Su Ling'er.

"Teacher, we are arranging a flower crown for you!" said Su Ling'er, putting the flower crown on Shizu's head.

Shizu smiled happily despite her careful planning earlier, "Was Ling'er a good girl when Zhiyun brought you to visit the flower field?"

"Mm!" Su Ling'er nodded like a chicken, smiling foolishly. "We also fought a lot of tyrant profound beasts. They are scary, but Wanhu beat them all like a superhero!"

"It was so cool..." 

"If only I could do the same..." 

Shizu rubbed Su Ling'er on the head and replied, "Then, Ling'er must practice [Chaotic Divine Bamboo Principle] quickly." 

"You're already 4th level of the emperor profound realms after reaching the 3rd stage of mastery." 

"When you reached the fifth stage, I guessed you could reach a tyrant profound realm if not sovereign profound realm." 

"Really?" Su Ling'er couldn't help but neam up in joy.

"After Ling'er reaches the fifth stage, I can ask Big Brother to teach more of [Chaotic Divine Bamboo Principle!"

"How exciting!"

"But... I haven't seen Big Brother very often now." 

"Yeah, where is Big Brother?" Ni Wanhu snacks on some artifacts, making crunchy noises as if they are potato chips. "He didn't run away with snacks, right?" 

"All you can think of is food..." Ni Yeyue couldn't help but comment on her other half.

Ni Wanhu glanced at Ni Yeyue, "That's because food is life." 

"I don't understand." Ni Yeyue replied flatly.

"..." Ni Wanhu. I don't know how to explain it, either.

Ling Zhiyun rubbed her forehead gently and said, "Okay, stop there. We all know the Master is busy. He's doing something important at Illusory Demon Realm." 

"How important exactly?" Su Ling'er tilted her head. 

"I heard my mom say that she missed Big Brother." 

"Can he visit my mom for a little bit?" 

"Oh, I know it!" Ni Wanhu raised her hand high. "Big Brother must be looking for a pretty sister there! He likes to do that!" 

"..." Shizu.

"..." Ling Zhiyun.

Sometimes, children's intuitions are scary.

Although Shizu hasn't spied on Yu Long these days, she knows he has hooked a new woman under his belt. That person is Huan Caiyi, the Demon Empress.

Shizu didn't know if Yu Long's charm attracted more, but she wouldn't be surprised if there were other than Huan Caiyi.

Coughing a few times, Shizu glanced at Ling Zhiyun and signaled her to divert the topic.

Ling Zhiyun made a wry expression because the Ancestral Goddess was not as dignified as she should be. When Yu Long is absent, Shizu is charging her with responsibilities to her.

Then, again, Ling Zhiyun can't complain.

"Ling'er, why don't we visit your mom? I'm sure she'd like to see your other crown flower?" Ling Zhiyun cleverly said.

"Oh, you're right, Sister Zhiyun." Su Ling'er nodded excitedly.

"Wanhu, Yeyue, let's visit my mom." 

"I will take you to the bamboo forest later!"

Without further ado, Su Ling'er pulled Ni Wanhu and Ni Yeyue down the secret realm created by Shizu near Cloud's End Cliff. This arrangement was 'naturally' made to protect the miniature "abyss" below.

Ling Zhiyun followed the girls and asked one step away from the spatial portal, "Head Maid, even though Master and I got connected through a contract, do you think it's still possible for me to be a Kaiju like you?"

"Why do you want to become a Kaiju?" Shizu asked back. 

"I knew you wanted to be close with the Master, but trust me, forming a soul contract with him actually gives you more advantage than us." 

"He only needed us for specific situations, though I'm an exception because my job was to assist him as a maid." 

"Meanwhile, you have the privilege to be his weapon. After all, he won't use Wanhu and Yeyue." 

"Hehe, you're right." Ling Zhiyun giggled. "But you're forgetting the fact that the Master rarely uses weapons." 

"If not for a demonstration that day, he wouldn't use my Primal Azure God Slaying Sword." 

"Above all else, the Master likes to use a spear more than a sword." 

"You're quite sharp, Zhiyun." Shizu gave Lin Zhiyun a frowning look.

Ling Zhiyun smiled faintly, "Well, I'm a sword, after all." 

Shizu snorted, "Just do your job. One day, your time to shine in Master's hands will come." 

"Just be patient." 

"I know..." Ling Zhiyun stepped halfway into the portal. "By the way, that master disciple will finish their job soon." 

Then, Ling Zhiyun vanished into the portal.

"Hoh, that girl has become brave recently." Shizu chuckled.

"Well, it's better for her to act like this than being insecure." 

"With such confidence, she will be an excellent maid and woman for my Master." 

A few moments later, a ripple appeared, and Mu Bingyun and her disciple, Mu Xiaolan, arrived.

"Goddess, we have neutralized every faction in the Azure Cloud Continent and told them to plant the Golden Sunflower Master sent us from the Illusory Demon Realm." Mu Bingyun reported with reverence.

"We expected the sunflowers to mature in 3-4 days." 

"As for the Heaven Wind Pollens, I will let Xiaolan report it." 

"Thank you, teacher." Mu Xiaolan gave Mu Bingyun a grateful look before reporting, "Goddess, the Heavenly Wind Pollens had spread to all corners of Azure Cloud Continents and important locations." 

"Good, you two are faster than I thought." Shizu nodded in satisfaction.

"I will reward you with the fourth part of the Heavenly Maid Art so you can start serving Master better..." 

"However, before that, Mu Bingyun." 

"Yes, Goddess?" Mu Bingyun didn't expect Shizu to have another order, but she responded quickly.

Shizu looked at  her solemnly and said, "I want you to contact your sister and tell her to visit Blue Pole Star in less than a week." 

Mu Bingyun's eyes widened, "But Goddess, my sister is the Realm King of Snow Song Realm. She can't leave Star Realm without good reason, as many other Star Realm eyed the Snow Song Realm." 

"Then, tell her your life was in danger!" Shizu said with a deep voice.

"The Blue Pole Star is going to be invaded soon." 

"We need every manpower we can get." 

"Don't worry about the Flame God Realm. They are busy dealing with other problems right now."

"I understand..." Mu Bingyun replied after realizing how grave the situation would be.

"I will contact my sister."
