NFBE Chapter 223 Retreat, the Angry Phantom of the Sun God
Chapter 223 Retreat, the Angry Phantom of the Sun God
"I do not know what you're talking about."
Even so, Isis chose to remain silent about the curse on the nation's fate.
"You don't know? Fine... then I'll beat you until you explain yourself!"
"Hmph! Do you really think we're afraid of you? Let me tell you the truth... During the time we've been stalling, your Great Xia's Fengdu has probably already been taken to Sun City."
Even if we can't complete this mission today, this round is still a loss for your Great Xia!
“Fengdu?” Upon hearing Isis’s words, Zhou Ping’s lips curled slightly, and he pointed to the city’s illusory form in the mist.
Are you talking about that?
After saying this, Isis turned around in astonishment. When the floating city phantom appeared in his sight, he said in disbelief.
"How is that possible! Even the Sun God has personally intervened, how could Fengdu possibly return to Great Xia!"
Yes, that floating city phantom was the fragment of Fengdu that Li Jie and Zhou Ping had snatched back from the Egyptian gods.
Now, the four Nine Pillar Gods who were located within the Great Xia territory were all unsettled.
There is only one possibility for Fengdu to return.
That is, the sun god encountered a problem that even He couldn't solve, and so...
It seems like everything connects...
Isis turned around and exchanged a glance with the other three Enneads. Then, the four Egyptian gods transformed into four streaks of light and rushed headlong toward the border of the Great Xia without hesitation.
Just kidding, even Egypt's supreme sun god gave up on seizing the fragments of Fengdu, so what are they waiting for here?
Waiting to die?
With Fengdu's return, the Great Emperor of Fengdu's strength will surely return to its peak.
If He senses the aura of Fengdu and arrives here to join forces with Zhou Ping, who has just advanced to the Sword Immortal realm, along with that strange-looking youth...
Even if they have four gods at the level of main gods, they may not be able to escape unscathed.
They no longer care whether the curse on the nation's fate will work; preserving their lives is the top priority!
"Are they trying to run away?"
Zhou Ping murmured as he watched the four streaks of light disappear into the distance. Then, he chuckled and raised the [Dragon Elephant] in his hand, slashing it fiercely towards the distance.
"what!..."
"hateful!.."
"Don't look back, just go!!"
“…”
As the silvery-white sword light dissipated, Zhou Ping smiled and put the [Dragon Elephant] back into its box. In a flash, he was back beside Li Jie and the others.
"Just like that?" Guan Zai said softly, looking at the four fleeting streaks of light at the border.
"That's far too hasty..."
"No, they did leave behind some methods... but we don't need to worry about those methods."
Upon hearing Ye Fan's words, Li Jie simply smiled and remained silent.
Lu Wuwei, who was completely bewildered, couldn't help but ask in confusion.
"What means?"
"Naturally, it's a low-level tactic. Do these Egyptian gods really think that our Great Xia has no one to rely on?"
They even dared to try and sabotage my prosperous nation; they really have the audacity to think of such a thing.
"National destiny?"
Lu Wuwei still didn't understand Ye Fan's meaning, but the latter clearly didn't want to explain either.
After Zhou Ping returned to their side, Ye Fan remembered that there was still a half-dead old man on the shore.
"Oh my god, I almost forgot that Master Chen is still lying there."
"???!"
"Hurry, hurry, see what he says. He's so old, he can't really die here."
Master Chen: Ye Fan, are you being polite?
...........
The Sun City, the Egyptian kingdom of gods.
Upon returning to the realm of the gods, the expressions on the faces of Isis and the other three pillar gods were extremely grim.
Heaven knows what went wrong, but the sun god, the most revered god among the Egyptian gods, abandoned all his plans and retreated prematurely.
Isis, the goddess of life who was at the head of the group, first bowed respectfully to the giant golden pillar in the very center of the statue square.
Just as he was about to question it, he discovered that the golden phantom on the towering pillar was radiating boundless rage.
"Your Majesty, Sun God, what are you doing...?"
"Look what you've done!"
Upon hearing the sun god's angry voice, Isis was completely dumbfounded.
Aren't all the things we've done arranged by you?
Why are they turning around and scolding us?
"During my slumber, how many foolish things did you do behind my back! You even managed to let Great Xia find the loophole in Sun City and traverse the void to cut off 30% of my national fortune!"
Asleep?
Wasn't He always awake?
And... wasn't the fate of the nation also part of His plan?
Why would they turn around and question them?
This all seems a bit too illogical...
Seeing the bewildered expressions on the four people's faces, the anger contained in the golden phantom also subsided by three points.
That's right, the previous sun god was a stand-in...
He can't say it out loud.
Therefore, he could only swallow his pride and bear it.
"Alright... let's not talk about these things for now. If you don't have anything else to do, I'll go back to the temple to recuperate."
At this point, the Sun God clearly lost interest in talking; once the fate of a nation is extinguished, there is no way to restore it.
Now He can only think of other ways to make up for the lost national fortune.
otherwise......
The lineage of Egyptian gods will eventually decline!
“My lord, there is indeed something I wish to ask you.” Hearing this, Isis mustered her courage and looked at the golden phantom above her head to speak.
"speak."
"Why didn't you bring Fengdu back to Sun City?"
Fengdu?
Where does this all begin?
What the Sun God didn't know was that because His true self had been asleep for so long, His original substitute was almost completely taking control of the divine kingdom.
so......
The emergence of massive information asymmetry is inevitable.
Now, knowing nothing, He could only vaguely fob off Isis; otherwise, the Egyptian gods' belief in the sun god's loyalty would completely collapse.
"That's because someone intervened."
Having no other choice, the sun god could only conjure up a 'person' out of thin air to stop Him.
He blocked the aggressive Isis.
really!
The Great Xia Sword Saint found his opportunity in the mist and broke through the ceiling that had plagued humanity for so long!
"Sir, what kind of person is he?"
Upon hearing Isis's question, the golden phantom paused for a moment.
After a long while, He sighed and slowly spoke.
"That man used a sword."
All right!
Upon hearing the sun god's words, Isis confirmed her suspicions.
That's a being that even the sun god found troublesome, so there's nothing shameful about us retreating.
Don't say it, really don't say it.
Although the Sun God was completely unaware of what was happening in the mist and within the Great Xia, he was able to deceive Isis with just a few fragmented pieces of information.
This shows how cunning this deity was.
The strongest person to emerge from the Great Xia Dynasty is, of course, someone who wields a sword.
Seeing Isis and the others leave satisfied, the sun god slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
We've finally escaped this 'trust crisis'.
It seems... we shouldn't create any clones anymore. If we keep causing this mess, there'll be no way to clean it up.
