Chapter 2517 This Damn Cause and Effect
The mirror also wanted to add such a rule to its own little world.
He Lingchuan's mind raced: "Then we need to get to the root of the problem and think about why Xiao An and I are standing here instead of flying into the sky?"
"Master and Xiao An were brought in by that Steward Wang, and they underwent examination by Yuntai..." Mirror was quite experienced and could apply what he had learned to other situations. "Oh!"
Immortal Mingke also said, "The seal that Steward Wang stamped on your hands is your pass to this small world!"
The seal was originally used for inspection by the gimbal; once it passed that test, it would stop emitting light.
But that doesn't mean it's useless, as Manager Wang said.
He Lingchuan and the other person entered through proper channels and were accepted by the laws of this small world, so they could stay grounded and not get carried away.
To put it roughly, it's equivalent to the seal in Manager Wang's hand, which can protect people from rejection by the small world!
Aunt Zhu breathed a sigh of relief: "When Manager Wang reappears, we'll take him down and snatch the seal, right?"
“Theoretically speaking, that should be the case,” He Lingchuan further stated. “Or, managers like Steward Wang should have the authority to bring outsiders into Lingyun Palace. Don’t forget, Lingyun Palace is currently short-staffed.”
This huge, dusty construction site is indeed short-staffed in the short term.
The more people who enter and exit Lingyun Palace in a short period of time, the more chaotic the procedures and the scene, the more advantageous it is for their actions.
At this moment, several laborers carrying stones came to the two of them, and He Lingchuan immediately stopped talking and said no more.
They all looked young, but their sunken eyes, high cheekbones, and signs of fatigue were evident.
One of them whispered to He Lingchuan, "You guys also came from Baisong City?"
He Lingchuan ignored him and just kept his head down and worked.
“We are too,” the man continued. “Did you just come in recently?”
Even Xiao An lowered his head and remained silent.
The man continued, "You don't know, they don't intend to let us leave alive, we have to find a way to escape."
He Lingchuan scanned the group with his divine sense and found that they were all mortals, most likely unlucky souls who had recently left Baisong City and were captured and brought here.
Mirror also said, "Fortunately, Lingyun Palace is currently facing a severe labor shortage, otherwise they would probably have become fertilizer for starfish long ago."
It dared to bet with its mirror against the Blood Demon that no one should have been able to escape the Spiritual Palace in the past ten years... right?
He Lingchuan simply stood up and moved to another section of the ditch.
There are supervisors nearby, and talking to these people would easily attract attention, which would be detrimental to the next steps.
Sure enough, the foreman had noticed that people were huddled together, seemingly whispering, and was about to raise his whip to lash them out, but He Lingchuan had already moved away.
The foreman paced back and forth behind the group, shouting sternly, "Don't try anything funny, and don't whisper among yourselves, or you'll be in for it!"
Everyone was silent.
The foreman took a few steps, then yawned and rubbed his eyes.
He Lingchuan noticed that this was the eighth yawn he had yawned in an hour.
If a person doesn't sleep well, they will become very irritable.
At this moment, another foreman came over, holding a stick, and asked him:
"You have a new employee here?"
"It was brought by Manager Wang."
Is it easy to use?
"Not bad, doesn't cause trouble, and has good eyesight," said the whip supervisor. "Unlike these idiots over there, always looking around as if they think I can't see them."
His tone turned sinister, and the men from Baisong City immediately shrank back, not daring to breathe, for fear that the whip would fall on their backs again.
They had suffered before and knew that a single lash of the whip could tear their skin and flesh, making it impossible for them to sleep on their backs.
"Sigh, I envy you!" the foreman sighed. "I just can't get any new people here. Isn't it said that people always leave White Pine City? Why can't they be sent to my area? If we send even fewer people, we'll be in danger ourselves. Do you still remember Ah Qi?"
The whip-wielding overseer couldn't help but yawn again: "It's been so long since I've heard from him."
"He was sent to Liuli Sea."
The whip-wielding foreman was taken aback: "Are you sure?"
“Confirmed. He had too few laborers under him, so the higher-ups transferred him directly to Liuli Sea.” The foreman scratched his head. “I heard from Steward Xu that the progress of Lingyun Palace is far below expectations, and the higher-ups are very unhappy.”
"This is too low?" The foreman forbade the laborers from whispering, but that didn't stop him from muttering to himself, "I haven't touched a bed for six or seven days, I've slept less than these mortals! Right now I just want to find a place and sleep soundly!"
Humans are fragile and cannot go without sleep or food. But they are different; they can endure four or five nights without any problem, so the Heavenly Palace makes them endure as much as possible.
Thinking of something that angered him, he raised his whip and lashed it across the laborer's back with a "whoosh".
"Ah—" The man screamed in agony; he was the same Bai Song City resident who had tried to persuade He Lingchuan to escape earlier.
It's clear that the supervisor noticed his little tricks, but they were short-handed and didn't want to kill him yet.
“Originally, there was no need to rush. Manager Xu said that the gods missed a magical artifact, so the original plan could not proceed, and therefore everyone was ordered to urgently dig terraces.”
The foreman with the whip asked in a low voice, "What exactly is planted in these terraced fields we're guarding?"
"If I knew, would I still be standing here?" the foreman warned. "Anyway, this is top secret. But don't ask around, or you might end up like Ah Qi, who never came back."
"Understood." The whip-wielding foreman raised his hand and rubbed his face, looking exhausted. "These pigs will be eating soon, I need to find a place to take a nap."
Upon hearing this, He Lingchuan suddenly realized what was going on.
The blood demon in his arms also cried out, "So it's related to us again! Cause and effect, cause and effect, this damned cause and effect!"
The mirror pressed, "What? What?"
"The master smashed the divine artifact 'Yangguan Road' in front of Jialoutian, which they at least believe might be true. That means that the plan of Lingxu Saint Venerable to use 'Yangguan Road' to search for the new consciousness of Yinshenjun has failed, which is what these two supervisors meant by 'the original plan cannot be carried out.' Therefore, the Heavenly Demons of Lingxu have come up with another plan, which may be the backup plan."
The descent of the gods has been a top priority planned by the celestial realm for thousands of years, and there is no single plan.
In addition to Plan One, there should also be backup Plans Two, Three, Four, and Five.
Aunt Zhu also found it interesting: "So, the reason why the Heavenly Demon suddenly started digging terraced fields here is all because of the Nine Netherworlds?"
Everyone: "That's right."
"The 'Yangguan Road' was shattered on the surface by the Nine Nether Emperor. What other way does the Heavenly Demon have to remove the new consciousness within the Hidden God Monarch's enormous body?" Immortal Mingke pondered. "Even if there is a way, it should be very difficult, at least no easier than obtaining the 'Yangguan Road' from the Earth Mother."
