Chapter 1101: Visitor to Heavenly Court

Heavenly Court.
Adjacent to the Yuanji Hall.
Baili Pangpang stepped across the threshold of Chenji Hall, saw the smiling, silent Taoist priest in the hall, and helplessly sighed.
"When did you wake up?" Yuanshi Tianzun in the main hall asked with a light smile.
"When you repaired the Heavenly Court origin. At that time, I was sitting on that Prayer Mat in Takamagahara. When you repaired the Heavenly Court origin, my memories returned ahead of the other Gods of Great Xia's reincarnation."
"And your cultivation?"
"Didn't return."
"That makes sense." Yuanshi Tianzun nodded. "You collapsed your Dao body before that great calamity arrived, choosing not to enter the Six Realms but rather true-self reincarnation... Until your true-self reincarnation reaches perfection, you likely won't be able to regain your Dao fruit."
Baili Pangpang naturally walked to the Taoist priest, picked up a cup of clear tea from the table, and took a small sip.
"So, you had them brought up to Heavenly Court just to find an excuse to meet me?"
"Partly, yes and no." Yuanshi Tianzun said leisurely.
"After all, both Lin Qiye and the Black King are in Heavenly Court. Having them come up here can help control the Black King's emotions, preventing another berserk rampage... Moreover, among them is a seed of disaster."
"A seed of disaster?"
"Before the Takamagahara incident, a time god from the future human world came to see me. After telling me about Takamagahara's situation, he specifically reminded me..." Yuanshi Tianzun paused, then continued:
"One among you will become the nightmare of the entire world, and one of the reasons he came back is to eliminate that person in advance."
Baili Pangpang furrowed his brows slightly. "Who?"
Yuanshi Tianzun stared into his eyes and slowly spoke a name.
Baili Pangpang fell into silence.
"Impossible." After a moment, Baili Pangpang shook his head. "That's impossible."
"Truly impossible?" Yuanshi Tianzun said calmly. "If you truly believe that, why did you hesitate?"
Baili Pangpang was speechless.
"You've already seen it, haven't you? You've already seen... that there is something extraordinary about that person."
"You called them up here, wanting to take the opportunity to eliminate him?" Baili Pangpang put down the cup, frowning as he interrupted Yuanshi Tianzun.
"No." Yuanshi Tianzun shook his head. "The future isn't set in stone. We destroyed Takamagahara in advance, which has already changed the timeline. This time he may not walk that path at all... But matters concerning the world's common people, just in case, we need to observe his nature."
Hearing this, Baili Pangpang was silent for a moment before letting out a long sigh.
"I understand..."
The two conversed in the hall for a long while. Baili Pangpang glanced through the hall door at the sky outside.
"It's about time. If I don't go back, they'll start worrying about me."
Baili Pangpang turned around, waved at Yuanshi Tianzun, and walked directly toward the hall's entrance.
Just as he was about to step out of the hall, a voice came from behind:
"Lingbao."
Baili Pangpang's foot stopped in mid-air.
"Return." Yuanshi Tianzun stood at the top of the hall, gazing at his back. "The Great Xia of today needs Lingbao Tianzun."
In the empty hall, Baili Pangpang glanced back at him,
shook his head,
"My true-self reincarnation isn't yet complete. As of now, I am not Great Xia's Lingbao Tianzun... I am merely Baili Pangpang of the 【Night Watch】 squad.
On the day my reincarnation is complete,
I will return."
With those words, Baili Pangpang stepped out of Chenji Hall and disappeared from Yuanshi Tianzun's field of vision.
In the dead-silent temple, Yuanshi Tianzun silently gazed at the empty hall entrance. After a long while, he helplessly sighed.
Just then, as if sensing something, his eyes narrowed slightly as he turned to look in a certain direction of Heavenly Court.
"Is it Him...?"
...
Yuanji Hall.
After hearing An Qingyu's question, the Star Lord of Supreme White seemed to have a flash of awkwardness in his eyes, then smiled kindly:
"Of course calling you here isn't just to meet young Lin. Everyone, please follow me."
The Star Lord of Supreme White led the three of them directly out of Yuanji Hall. The moment they stepped outside, they saw a chubby figure sitting bored on the stone steps before the hall, stretching lazily.
"Pangpang? Where did you just go?" Shen Qingzhu asked.
"I was about to ask you the same thing!" Baili Pangpang's eyes went wide. "I just went to find a restroom before entering the hall. When I came back, you were all gone. I didn't dare wander into the hall alone, so I could only wait here."
Shen Qingzhu silently rolled his eyes.
An Qingyu briefly told Baili Pangpang what had happened in the hall, then followed the Star Lord of Supreme White, flying directly toward a cluster of immortal palaces below the clouds.

DONG—!!
DONG—!!!
Mid-flight, two successive melodious bells sounded from deep within Heavenly Court.
An Qingyu startled, turned to look in the direction of the sound, and asked in confusion: "Star Lord, what are these bells?"
"That's the Qiming Bell." The Star Lord of Supreme White also seemed somewhat surprised. "One ring means the Heavenly Lord is about to set up a platform for discourse; two rings mean a distinguished guest is visiting Heavenly Court; three rings mean a great catastrophe is befalling the mortal realm... Strange, at this time, who would be visiting Heavenly Court?"
While the group was puzzling over this, in the heavens above Heavenly Court, a Taoist priest leading a figure entirely shrouded in golden light, with pristine white six wings on their back, flew directly toward the Yuanji Hall the group had just departed from.
When Baili Pangpang saw that golden figure, his eyes slightly narrowed.
"That is..."
...
"In front of Yuanji Hall."
Yuanshi Tianzun spoke calmly. "He is inside."
The golden figure raised their eyes to look at the plaque before the hall. Their six rear wings lightly fluttered, and their form instantly flashed past the main hall, arriving at the Pure Origin Life Spring.
Their gaze fell on Lin Qiye floating in the spring water, eyes slightly narrowing.
Yuanshi Tianzun stepped out from the void, standing beside them, and helplessly smiled. "His physical condition, theoretically speaking, leaves no possibility of survival... But for you, that shouldn't be a difficult problem."
The golden figure spoke calmly:
"He simply needs a 'miracle.'"
"Then I'll leave it to you." Yuanshi Tianzun turned and walked toward the hall entrance. "Regarding the transaction you just proposed... After you save him, we can move to another place to discuss the details."
Yuanshi Tianzun's form flickered and vanished on the spot.
In the empty hall, the golden figure's six pristine white wings slowly unfurled, like a massive white fan, enveloping the Pure Origin Life Spring floating in the air and Lin Qiye within it.
A golden domain rapidly expanded. The sacred and glorious golden light flowed like fire upon the mortal world, instantly filling the entire hall.
"Awake..."
