Chapter 428: Chapter 47: Netherworld Artifact_3
She understood all these principles; she knew that the Netherworld Prison Master could not possibly return Oblivion to him, and she understood even more clearly that all she had done was in vain.
But other than matching wits and bravery with the Netherworld Prison Master, there was nothing else she could do.
This was the only pillar of support for Gu Yiyi, as well as the method Gu Yiyi used to deceive herself.
As long as the Netherworld Prison Master did not see her, she could deceive herself that there was still a chance to get back Oblivion.
Now, the Netherworld Prison Master had directly torn apart the protective shell that Gu Yiyi had constructed.
Gu Yiyi felt both wronged and heartbroken.
The kind that couldn’t be easily soothed.
In her heart, there was also a sliver of regret.
—If only she hadn’t been so lazy back then.
The birth of the spirits of Oblivion took an extremely long time; if she hadn’t been so absurd as to sleep through an entire Ancient Era, things wouldn’t have turned out this way.
The Netherworld Prison Master looked towards Lu Qingshan with a hint of barely perceptible plea in his eyes.
Lu Qingshan let out a helpless smile, squatted down, and looked at Gu Yiyi’s tear-streaked little face, “If Oblivion is gone, then it’s gone. What’s there to be sad about? It’s just a big river after all. Wouldn’t it be better to change it to an ocean?”
“Ocean, what’s that?” Gu Yiyi saw that it was Lu Qingshan, and she had an impression of this “good person.” She wiped her eyes and asked.
“An ocean is the broadest expanse of water in the world, even much larger than Oblivion,” Lu Qingshan explained.
“Really? There’s a river bigger than Oblivion?” Gu Yiyi widened her eyes in surprise, then after pondering for a while, biting her fingertip, she seriously said, “But other than Oblivion, I haven’t seen any other big rivers.”
“There aren’t any in the Netherworld, but there are in other worlds,” Lu Qingshan coaxed gently, “Oblivion is dull and yellow, with stagnant water full of living souls—a dead expanse. What’s there to miss?
The oceans in other worlds are azure and clear, shimmering with light, teeming with fish and dragons, and they are even more vast than Oblivion. Isn’t that better than Oblivion?”
Hearing Lu Qingshan belittling Oblivion , the Netherworld Prison Master’s eyes twitched imperceptibly, he opened his mouth, but eventually sighed internally and did not say anything more.
“Better than Oblivion?” Stars unconsciously flickered in Gu Yiyi’s eyes, and then with a touch of skepticism, she said, “Really? You’re not deceiving me, are you?”
“Am I a good person?” Lu Qingshan countered.
Gu Yiyi nodded earnestly, “Yes.”
“Do good people lie?”
“Then why would I deceive you,” Lu Qingshan concluded firmly, “follow me, and I’ll take you to other worlds to find oceans even bigger than Oblivion, how about that?”
Gu Yiyi fell into contemplation, her gaze wandering back and forth between Lu Qingshan and the Netherworld Prison Master.
“Okay, then I’ll go with you.” Gu Yiyi finally made up her mind.
Lu Qingshan stood up, his gaze turning towards the Netherworld Prison Master.
The face of the Netherworld Prison Master was somewhat stiff.
He had not expected things to progress this smoothly; he had thought that with Gu Yiyi’s stubborn nature, it would take a lot of effort to persuade her, but Lu Qingshan had managed to convince Gu Yiyi with just a few words.
“Chasing Phoenix…” the Netherworld Prison Master suddenly recalled Lu Qingshan’s talent, muttering to himself, “Could it be that Chasing Phoenix also works on little girls…..”
Shaking his head, he dismissed these distracting and superfluous thoughts.
No matter what, as long as everything went smoothly, it was good.
The Netherworld Prison Master flicked his fingers lightly, releasing that crystal-clear droplet of Oblivion’s essence.
The essence of Oblivion instantly flew out and dispersed into Lu Qingshan’s body.
“The essence of Oblivion I promised you earlier, to help you break through to Nascent Soul,” the Netherworld Prison Master said softly.
A surge of extraordinarily pure spiritual power burst out within Lu Qingshan’s body the moment the essence of Oblivion merged, and he quickly composed himself, silently circulating the Taoist Treasury Cultivation Technique to absorb this pure and immense spiritual power.
Meanwhile, on the data panel, the Experience Points behind the Taoist Treasury Cultivation Technique were increasing at a dazzling speed, leaping up rapidly.
