My carefree life in space

Chapter 276 About the War Between Gods and Demons

After sending Lin Shushu and Mo Ze to the guest courtyard, Xiao Jingping did not linger and left quickly.

Lin Shushu used her divine sense to perceive her surroundings and found nothing unusual. Then she took Mo Ze's hand, and with a thought, the two entered the space.

Upon entering the space, a refreshing breeze and abundant spiritual energy enveloped them. Lin Shushu took a deep breath, savoring the familiar and comfortable environment. Since arriving on the Azure Cloud Continent, they had never had such a leisurely time.

However, she also knew that this was merely the calm before the storm. To achieve true peace, she would have to endure a life-or-death ordeal.

To be honest, Lin Shushu wasn't entirely confident about successfully sealing the demon god, as the ancient demon god's power was unfathomable and immeasurable. However, she had a feeling that the Yuan Pearl space might be the key to turning the tide.

She was lost in thought, and Mo Ze assumed she was worried about the upcoming battle, so he comforted her, "Shushu, don't worry or feel pressured. Sealing the demon god is not easy, but with Venerable Lingyun and the others, things will definitely go smoothly."

Lin Shushu shook her head. "I'm not worried about that."

Mo Ze looked at her questioningly, puzzled, waiting for her to continue.

Lin Shushu had nothing to hide from Mo Ze. "Mo Ze, tell me, why did the Star Mirror and the Brahma Bowl submit to me?"

Lin Shushu didn't consider herself a chosen one, and she never thought that saving the world would involve her. But everything now was reminding her that she seemed to have really become that key person.

The Star Mirror recognized her as its master, and the Brahma Bowl did not reject her. Was it simply because she was a descendant of the Yuan family? But if the Yuan family was so important, how could they have been so easily wiped out?

Hearing her words, Mo Ze frowned. Gaining a divine artifact's recognition as its master was a good thing, but if it became intertwined with the rise and fall of the world, it wasn't necessarily a good thing. After all, great opportunities often come with immense responsibilities.

Personally, he doesn't object to Shushu doing things to save the world, provided that it doesn't come at a huge cost, such as her life.

But he also knew that Shushu wouldn't shirk her responsibilities; he would stay by her side.

"Has something come to mind, Shushu?"

Lin Shushu was taken aback, feeling somewhat embarrassed. She couldn't very well say that she suspected she was born with a mission, could she? That would be a bit too arrogant.

"I just feel that every step I take, although it seems to be my own choice, is somehow heading towards a final goal."

Mo Ze carefully recalled their journey together, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.

Initially, Shushu only wanted to seek justice for her grandmother, but unexpectedly, it led to the discovery of a fake death of Lin Cheng'an, followed by Yuan Qing's background and her hatred. After that, the things they encountered became increasingly complicated.

During this time, Shushu gained an improvement in her cultivation and was recognized as the master of an ancient artifact, while also resolving the issues concerning the dragon clan. Now, the task of sealing the ancient demon god has fallen to Shushu.

It seems that Shushu really did come with a mission. Mo Ze looked at Lin Shushu and suddenly smiled. Perhaps meeting Shushu was also an arrangement of fate. This realization made Mo Ze feel extremely happy.

Mo Ze's sudden laughter sounded rather strange to Lin Shushu. She looked puzzled. "What are you laughing at? Am I funny?"

"Shushu, I'm smiling happily. I'm so grateful for fate's arrangement that brought us together. It seems we really are a match made in heaven." Mo Ze placed his hands on Lin Shushu's shoulders, looked at her affectionately, and said earnestly.

The unexpected confession made Lin Shushu blush, but she quickly regained her composure, as there were still important things to sort out.

Mo Ze also knew when to stop, so he prompted, "Shu Shu, have you ever thought about what the most fundamental reason is that you've gone through so much?"

What is it? Lin Shushu didn't need to think; the answer was already in her mind: the Yuan Pearl. She had already felt that the Yuan Pearl space would be a key breakthrough, and Mo Ze's words made her even more certain.

The problem now is that although Yuanzhu seems to have her own consciousness, she hasn't given any hints other than providing help. So how can she find out more?

Recalling the words of that senior, her heart was filled with doubt. She now strongly suspected that the senior's actions back then were probably not solely due to any so-called connection with the Yuan family.

After all, this Yuanzhu space is so magical, not only is it full of spiritual energy, but it also has many unknown secrets waiting for her to explore. It was definitely not handed over to her for no reason.

Could it be that the senior really had such foresight, able to predict the future and know that she would definitely come to the cultivation world and play an important role in fighting against the demon race and sealing the demon god, so he was able to entrust the Yuan Pearl to her?

This sounded rather absurd, but she couldn't think of any other reasonable explanation.

Thinking this, she touched the orchid mark. Instantly, the orchid mark transformed into a smooth bead, the very essence of the Yuan Pearl. Unlike before, this time it heated up for a longer period, and a wealth of information suddenly appeared in her sea of ​​consciousness.

It turns out that the senior who gave him the Yuan Pearl was none other than Emperor Xu, the patriarch of the God Clan back then. Tens of millions of years ago, the three continents were still a single entity, inhabited by various races, who coexisted harmoniously yet secretly competed with each other.

Among the many races, the gods, though few in number, are all exceptionally gifted and possess unimaginable strength, naturally becoming the rulers of the entire world.

However, this dominant position aroused strong resentment among the demons. The demons were inherently cruel and ambitious; they coveted the power and resources possessed by the gods and were extremely dissatisfied with the gods' rule.

Finally, the conflict escalated, and a great war between gods and demons was about to break out. It was an earth-shattering battle, with the powerful beings of both the gods and demons making their moves, unleashing all sorts of powerful spells and supernatural abilities across the world, drawing the entire cultivation world into this terrifying struggle.

The two races were too powerful, and their battle caused severe damage to the cultivation world. The once intact continent was torn into three parts by the impact of their powerful forces.

After the war, although the gods were victorious, they paid a heavy price. They remained on the Azure Cloud Continent, and looking at the world ravaged by war, the gods were filled with remorse.

Therefore, the gods joined forces with the strongest humans of the time and used all their strength to seal the demon god, driving the demons into the abyss of darkness and preventing them from ever harming the world again.

Overwhelmed with guilt for the destruction they had caused the world, the gods erased all traces of their existence, collectively sealing themselves away and falling into a deep slumber. From that time onward, the gods vanished from the world's sight, their glory and honor gradually buried by the passage of time.

Before sealing himself, Emperor Xu, the patriarch of the gods, predicted that the demon god would one day break the seal, and that the one who would break the seal would come from a human family.

As it happened, that human family had some connection with him, so Emperor Xu gave the Yuan Pearl he had refined to that family, hoping that one day the person destined for calamity would return with the Yuan Pearl and reseal the Demon God.
