The result was predictable; whether it was fire or food, these Zongzi just had to block our way and refuse to leave. Just when I was at my wit's end, those Zongzi suddenly scattered with a whoosh.
"What’s going on?"
"What did you do?"
My companion Xianxian asked one after the other.
I only saw Lime's back stiffen for a moment before he climbed up the tree. Xianxian muttered a few words and followed him up, and I immediately followed suit.
However, the moment I climbed up the tree, I found that all the dead faces were looking at us again!
"What on earth is happening?" I asked stubbornly. Why did those Zongzi suddenly give way? It was truly baffling.
"Maybe it was those people who did it," Lime's flat voice came, instantly dispelling my curiosity.
"Oh," I nodded. So it was Xue Er and the others who did it; that explanation seemed the most convincing.
Every step we took afterward was extremely perilous, simply because those Zongzi were staring at us the entire time! Wherever we went, their heads would turn to follow us, and they seemed to be getting closer!
My scalp tingled with fear, but the only consolation was that this tree was large enough, with many thick branches, so we wouldn't accidentally break them while climbing down.
"Why do you think they aren’t attacking us?" I thought I detected a hint of amusement in Xianxian's tone. It was surprising that only Xianxian could laugh in such a "highly scrutinized" situation.
Before we could make a few sarcastic remarks, Xianxian answered his own question: "Is it because this Lord is too handsome?"
"Stop babbling; you might hurt your tongue!" I shook my head helplessly in response.
Xianxian tilted his head and seriously asked me, "I've been meaning to ask, where did you learn that catchphrase?"
"What do you want to do?" I asked casually.
"Of course, I want to kill him!" Xianxian said cruelly. I knew he was joking, so I couldn't help but twitch my lips. As for where he learned that from? Of course, it was self-taught!
"What they mean is that the Azure Jade Seal is in the hands of your biological parents, right?" Lime's voice suddenly came through, interrupting my boring conversation with Xianxian.
I nodded, surprised that Lime had heard us; I thought he was asleep. So I explained, "That person didn't say, but I'm sure they are somewhere below."
"So you're saying we climbed under this big tree without knowing anything?" Xianxian said helplessly.
"Cough, if it were that easy to find out, then many people would have found it already." I pretended to cough and thought to myself that if we knew the process and route, it wouldn't be a real adventure.
After we finished speaking, Lime said, "This is the first time I've heard of the Azure Jade Seal."
"So you don't know what it is? What its purpose is?" Xianxian raised an eyebrow and asked me, "Did they not tell you what that thing does or where it came from?"
"How could they possibly tell me?" I shook my head and said, "Although they didn't tell me, we didn't lose out in this transaction. What we should consider next is how to act together with them since there is only one Azure Jade Seal."
"Oh my, I didn't realize it before, but after following This Lord for some time, you've matured quite a bit," Xianxian said proudly.
I spat! Looking at the shameless person and the still calm lemon who ignored both of us, I made a rational thought. "What do you think the Azure Jade Seal is used for?"
"Seeing how much they value it and how mysterious it seems, it must have a significant background!" Xianxian analyzed seriously. "This Lord guesses it's probably related to that so-called Divine Sign!"
"That makes sense; I think so too." When Xianxian mentioned the term divine artifact, I immediately thought of my The Dead. However, in my opinion, the Azure Jade Seal we were about to find must be even more powerful than The Dead!
Just as I was thinking about this, I heard Lime say, "Maybe through it we can enter the First Emperor or somewhere in the temple that requires it." His calm voice made a surprising and thrilling guess.
"The First Emperor? I really don't know what kind of place that is; it can't really be the residence of a god in heaven." Please don't take my words seriously; just kidding! There are no gods in this world; even God is just a role played by some people. Gods are at most just characters who are stronger than ordinary people or awakened ones.
"I am quite concerned about the mysterious Moon Pearl Pavilion Clan. What exactly is their background? Lime, think again. You said you've lived for one or two thousand years; haven't you heard anything about this race?" Afraid of tiring himself out, Xianxian sat on a tree trunk and asked. However, I couldn't shake the feeling that there was a hint of something else in his words. Please forgive me for thinking of the unflattering term 'thousand-year Old Tortoise.'
Lime did not respond immediately but furrowed his brow in deep thought. We remained silent, not wanting to disturb his contemplation, as this was indeed a very significant matter that required serious attention.
After a while, Lime finally spoke up, somewhat uncertainly: "Back then, I think I overheard Qin Shi Huang and Demon God Child discussing a mysterious race in secret. Now that I think about it, perhaps they were referring to the Moon Pearl Pavilion Clan."
"What else did you hear?" I immediately asked.
Lime paused for a moment, hesitating before saying, "They seemed to mention that those people generally have very long lifespans, living over a thousand years."
Upon hearing this, both Xianxian and I gasped in surprise. I asked incredulously, "Are you saying their normal lifespan is over a thousand years, unlike your reincarnation Reincarnation and Eternal Life?"
Lime shook his head. "I'm not sure. I wasn't present during their conversation; I just happened to overhear it. Whether it's true or not is beyond my knowledge."
"Wait, wait, wait!" Xianxian suddenly exclaimed. Both Lime and I turned to look at him as he widened his eyes dramatically and said, "Do you remember the Divine Decree Project!?"
"Of course I remember." The sealing of gods refers to the ability to prevent human awakening and suppress ancient advanced humans. In the initial experiments, some humans lived over a thousand years and became regarded as immortals by others. This group was a primary target of the Divine Decree Project. In ancient times, nearly all humans who reached the level of "Deities" were eradicated, though a few escaped capture. Currently, humans live in an Illusory World, devoid of any abilities, with life and death Reincarnation limited to around a hundred years.
"Is there a connection between these two...?" Just as I began to voice my thoughts, I was equally astonished and widened my eyes in realization. In an instant, something clicked in my mind.
