Chapter 147: The Gu God was attacked by his own Gu King, and Qi Junyi's psychological shadow
Qi Junyi looked at the crystal bottle in Zhai Anle's hand and was stunned for a moment. Then he landed directly and walked in front of Zhai Anle.
Qi Junyi took the crystal bottle from Zhai Anle, frowned, and stared at the worm that was slowly wriggling in the bottle.
After a while, Qi Junyi's expression became complicated. He murmured, "So it turned out to be such a disaster..."
Zhai Anle and Qi Ji both looked at Qi Junyi quietly, waiting for an answer.
Qi Junyi smiled bitterly and put the bottle back into Zhai Anle's hands.
"You are indeed in big trouble." Qi Junyi paused and looked at Zhai Anle, "Do you remember my request later?"
Zhai Anle's expression changed. He looked at Qi Junyi in disbelief, "Sir, you are talking about..."
Qi Junyi smiled bitterly and nodded.
Zhai Anle was a little confused and looked at the crystal bottle in his hand.
"Can a worm like this have the power to destroy the world?"
Qi Ji's eyes flickered, but he said nothing and asked nothing. He just listened more attentively to the conversation between his ancestor and Zhai Anle.
The power of destruction? Can this bug destroy the world?
Qi Junyi was silent for a moment, took out a notebook from the space pocket in his sleeve, and handed it to Zhai Anle.
Zhai Anle took it and glanced at the cover. There were only two words written on the cover: "Miscellaneous Notes." Zhai Anle flipped open the first page and saw the notes inside. They were from Qi Junyi.
Qi Junyi pursed his lips and his expression became serious.
"I only predicted that this world would be doomed to destruction, but I never imagined it would be related to the Gu God's King Gu."
Qi Junyi's tone was a little annoyed, "Anle. Maybe... I shouldn't..."
Before Qi Junyi could finish his words, he was interrupted by Zhai Anle and Qi Ji.
Zhai Anle: "You should."
Qi Ji: "Ancestor!"
Zhai Anle and Qi Ji looked at each other, and they understood each other's meaning through each other's eyes.
Qi Junyi's eyes were complicated, and his tone was solemn. "Anle, I've told you that there are countless paths to enlightenment. The Gu God ascended to heaven by raising Gu. He's usually very careless, and often causes trouble in the God's Mansion because of his carelessness."
Zhai Anle and Qi Ji listened carefully.
"Thousands of years ago, something happened to the Gu God. Only his soul remained, and his body disappeared."
Qi Junyi frowned. "We in the Divine Palaces cultivate ourselves all day long and rarely care about worldly affairs, except for that one time. That time, the spirit of the Gu God came to visit us. He visited all the Divine Palaces and asked for help to destroy the Gu King he had accidentally released."
Zhai Anle's hand holding the crystal bottle trembled and he almost dropped the crystal bottle on the ground.
He had a feeling that the Gu King that Qi Junyi mentioned must be related to the worm in his hand.
Qi Junyi sighed, "We didn't understand at the time why the Gu God invited all the gods to his divine palace. It wasn't until we gathered that the Gu God asked us to prepare in advance. After repeated confirmation, his spirit opened the Gu God's divine palace..."
Qi Junyi frowned, as if he didn't want to recall the scene at that time.
Qi Junyi's expression was extremely uncomfortable, and finally, he reluctantly continued speaking.
"The interior of the divine palace has been completely occupied by the Gu worms bred by the Gu King. They are constantly gnawing at the Gu God's divine palace. Inside the Gu God's divine palace, there is nothing left except countless densely packed Gu worms..."
Zhai Anle and Qi Ji both felt their scalps tingling and their whole bodies began to feel uncomfortable.
Qi Junyi closed his eyes and shook his head gently, as if he didn't want to remember the scene at that time.
"The Gu God's body was devoured by the Gu King and his descendants..."
Qi Junyi calmed himself down for a while before continuing.
"In fact, the Gu King didn't have much time left to live at that time, because on the day it was refined, the Gu God forcibly bound it with the Symbiosis Curse. Therefore, when the Gu God's body disappeared, the Gu King's life within the God's Palace would also gradually decline until death."
Qi Junyi's expression was not good. That scene has been a psychological shadow for him until now.
"The Gu God said that he was careless and didn't notice that the Gu King hadn't been sealed properly. He was attacked by the Gu King while cultivating, which led to the destruction of his divine body. He thought that with the symbiotic spell, the Gu King would soon perish. He didn't care much at first. After all, he still had his divine soul, so he could still cultivate another divine body. However, he didn't expect that the Gu King, out of biological instinct, would devour his divine body before fading in order to accumulate power and reproduce. With his divine body being devoured, the Gu King rapidly reproduced with explosive energy."
Qi Junyi glanced at the crystal bottle in Zhai Anle's hand with a bit of disgust, "This is what the Gu King bred..."
Zhai Anle's hand shook, and the crystal bottle fell to the ground, rolling a long way.
Qi Junyi suppressed his nausea and tried to comfort Zhai Anle.
"Don't be afraid. The Gu God's mansion was opened at that time. We, the gods, made every possible preparation. It just took some time to eliminate all the Gu insects in the Gu God's mansion. The Gu King was almost dead at that time, but he was still stubbornly reproducing."
Qi Junyi looked at Zhai Anle's still gloomy face and felt a little embarrassed.
"Now these poisonous insects appear again. It is possible that they were missed at that time. When we entered the God of Poison's Mansion to kill the poisonous insects, they ran out at the moment when it was opened. By the way, where did you find these poisonous insects?" Qi Junyi was a little puzzled.
After ascending, the gods settled on the God's Ship. Though called a ship, the God's Ship is actually a continent floating in the void. The void is infinite, and as the gods wandered, the continent they saw from the void resembled a floating boat, hence the name.
Logically speaking, the poisonous insects cannot leave the Ship of God.
So, how did the insect get to the interstellar world?
Qi Junyi couldn't figure it out, so he asked Zhai Anle.
Zhai Anle told Qi Junyi about the ancient stars that Doudou had found.
Qi Junyi frowned, and after a long pause, he said, "Perhaps there is a spatial rift on that star? However, there is no spatial rift on the God's Ship, nor in the void."
Zhai Anle suddenly asked, "Is it possible... that the Gu God found the worms from that ancient star and refined them into Gu?"
Qi Junyi's eyes lit up, "Ah, it's not impossible. Then there shouldn't be any such bugs on our Divine Ship."
Zhai Anle looked at Qi Junyi speechlessly with a relieved expression.
"So, how do we eliminate this thing?" Zhai Anle asked Qi Junyi.
Qi Junyi thought for a moment, "The gods at that time all had their own methods, burning with divine fire, freezing, strangling..."
Zhai Anle interrupted Qi Junyi's statement, "What about you? The methods you are good at can help us."
Qi Junyi froze for a moment. He glanced to the side, not looking at Zhai Anle, and spoke in a low voice.
"I, I...used a space vacuum cleaner..."
Zhai Anle covered his face and Qi Ji lowered his head.
Qi Junyi didn't look at them, but just said: "I made a space formation inside the vacuum cleaner. When they are sucked in, they will be directly crushed by the space. It's a very good way to decompose garbage."
Zhai Anle rubbed his face and looked at Qi Junyi.
"Can it be mass-produced? Also, what protective measures should be taken? The surface of this thing is poisonous, ordinary humans can't touch it."
When Qi Junyi heard about the issue of mass production, his eyes lit up, "I have made ten units. If you need them, I will give them all to you."
Zhai Anle nodded, "Yes. Also, what about protection?"
Qi Junyi tilted his head slightly and asked doubtfully, "This thing is not corrosive. Your interstellar protective suits are enough."
Zhai Anle choked.
Well, he was desperate and tried every possible means. When it came to the Gu God's Gu King, he actually ignored this problem.
