Chapter 1717 – Abandoned Infant

　　[Distance from the ringing of the Eastern Emperor’s Bell: 23 years]

　　”Wha-!!!”

　　Pouring rain poured down from the sky, and beside the stinking garbage can, an abandoned baby wrapped in a tattered towel was bawling.

　　But even if this abandoned baby cried miserably, still drowned out by the rain and thunder, plus this place is extremely remote, no one noticed the existence of this abandoned baby, with the passage of time, this abandoned baby’s cries are getting smaller and smaller.

　　The cold rainwater beat on his skin, his face flushed an unnatural redness, hoarse cries eventually stopped, lying motionless in the garbage, as if fainting.

　　Just then, a figure slowly walked to his side.

　　It was a monk wearing a muddy robe, he stretched out his hands and picked up this abandoned baby who had fainted from high fever, those pairs of autumnal eyes didn’t have the slightest fluctuation of emotions, but he still reached out to protect the abandoned baby underneath his body to avoid the wind and rain.

　　With the abandoned baby in his arms, he made his way through the deserted streets, eventually stopping in front of an iron-barred door.

　　He looked up, and five large letters imprinted into his eyes:Cold Mountain Orphanage.

　　Monk Fate placed the abandoned baby in his arms, before the iron gate, bit his fingertip, and gently wrote three words on the torn towel wrapped around the abandoned baby.

　　After doing this, he turned around and left, his figure drowning in the heavy rain.

　　”Woof-woof-woof!”

　　The sound of dogs barking came out from inside the orphanage, a black dog rushed to the iron door and barked furiously at the abandoned baby at the door, an old man carrying a stick, hurriedly walked out from the house.

　　”What are you barking for! Bark again and I’ll beat you up!”

　　The old man terrorized the black dog a few times and was about to go back to the house when his afterglow suddenly glanced at the iron door and suddenly froze in place.

　　He hastily opened the iron door, the towel wrapped abandoned baby back, in the doorway around the circle, did not find any silhouette …… eyebrows suddenly wrinkled.

　　”Such a heavy rain …… those heartless dogs, not afraid of the child was frozen to death?”

　　The old man cursed, and hastily touched the child’s forehead, and sure enough, it was hot!

　　He turned around and was about to take the abandoned baby back to the house, just then, the worn towel fell to the ground, the old man looked down, only to see three big blood-colored characters being washed away by the heavy rain, gradually blurring, and ultimately disappearing into the night along with the flowing rainwater.

　　”Shen Qingzhu?”

　　The old man memorized those three words and muttered softly.

　　At the same time, a causal paradox was connected head to tail in the void, quietly hidden without a trace ……

　　[Distance from the ringing of the Eastern Emperor’s Bell: 58 minutes]

　　Olympus.

　　Within the temple at the top of the mountain peak, a stooped and thin figure was leaning on the bed, coughing weakly.

　　This former king of the gods, Zeus, was now like a windy old man, the blood hole in his back had dried up and blackened, and there was only some remnants of the fire of life that barely burned within his body.

　　”Bia ……” he spoke hoarsely.

　　”Lord God King.” The Sub-God that Si Xiaonan had changed into respectfully stepped forward.

　　”How is it outside ……?”

　　Si Xiaonan opened his mouth, like he was very torn.

　　”Speak!” Zeus glared at her, “How is it outside?!”

　　”Reporting back to the God King …… I’ve been poking around between a few divine peaks these past few days, and it seems …… that you have a few sons and daughters who seem to have gotten stupid.” Si Xiaonan spoke helplessly.

　　Zeus’s pale eyes flinched, a wave of anger surged to his heart, and with a cold snort, before he could say anything, he coughed violently.

　　”Cough cough cough …… this group of white-eyed wolves …… see me now is not as good as before, one by one want to sit on that golden holy seat …… only fear now, has been in the joint efforts to to think of ways to get rid of my old bones.”

　　Seeing this, Si Xiaonan hurriedly walked to Zeus’ side, thoughtfully serving him spring water, and

　　”God King Lord, you don’t get angry, or the body is important ah …… After you came back, you have been in this palace to recuperate, do not see outsiders, these days I have been according to your command, in the divine peaks among the news of your imminent recovery, they do not dare to make a move in a short period of time. ”

　　Hearing these words, Zeus’ expression eased a little.

　　He glanced at Si Xiaonan and slowly spoke, “You are very smart …… Letting you come to assist me is indeed a correct choice.”

　　”It is my honor to serve by the side of Lord Godking.”

　　”Now that I’m in this appearance, I can’t let those guys outside see …… some things, only you can step in for me to do it.” Zeus paused for a moment, “Relying only on those messages you passed out, they may not believe it, I’m afraid they will find a way to enter this forbidden land to test me, you have to stop them for me.”

　　”Yes.”

　　Si Xiaonan respectfully bowed to Zeus and slowly exited the forbidden land hall.

　　When the door of the hall closed, the respect on Si Xiaonan’s face, immediately disappeared without a trace, she glanced at this magnificent palace, her eyes slightly narrowed.

　　Zeus this old fox whether it is really as fragile as on the outside, she now can not see through, even if she has now become the closest person beside Zeus, but also can not be rashly out of the blue, even if it is a sick tiger that is dry and dying, it is still a tiger ……

　　After a few moments, she turned around and headed down the mountain.

　　She picked a fairly flat boulder and leisurely lay on it, closing her eyes and feigning slumber, while her two ears strangely fell off her head and disappeared into the mountain peaks.

　　Under her ability, in addition to the forbidden hall where Zeus is located, the entire Olympus, are within her listening range, she listened to all the secrets of this divine country, while slowly falling into a deep sleep ……

　　In a trance, she had a dream.

　　It was an ancient mansion, and a young man in a Han Dynasty Confucian uniform was leaning against the wall, holding a chess basket full of white discs in his hand, and was looking at her with a smile.

　　”The God of Trickery, Si Xiaonan.” His voice rang out.

　　Si Xiaonan was in a trance for a moment, her consciousness snapping back to wakefulness in the dream world, she looked at the unfamiliar man in front of her warily and frowned as she opened her mouth:

　　”Invaded my dream realm? Who are you?”

　　”My name is Yan Zhong.” That scholar took out a jade tablet from his waist, “Once a member of the Evil Suppression Division, now well …… it’s just a dead soul.”

　　”Evil Suppression Division? You’re from Daxia?”

　　”Sort of, in the dream world of hundreds of millions of living beings, it is not easy to find you …… I can only stay here for a while, let’s make a long story short.” Yan Zhong took out a white seed from the chess basket in his hand and handed it to Si Xiaonan.

　　”What is this?” Si Xiaonan asked in confusion.

　　”Something Lin Qiye asked me to pass on to you.”

　　”Lin Qiye?”

　　”He has been asleep for more than fifty years in order to avoid karmic consequences with his past self……. I can only use my ability as a medium to forward these pieces to you.” Yan Zhong spoke calmly.

　　”When the East Emperor Bell rises, the [Holy Covenant] should be in time, karma is heavily reversed, and the dead realm is reborn …… The role of this chess piece, you will naturally know when the time comes.”
