Chapter 1553: Sanctuary
Hearing these words, Lin Qiye was slightly stunned.
This sentence felt somewhat familiar to him...
After only a moment of contemplation, Lin Qiye recalled where he had heard it before. When he first captured the Black Pupil, the Black Pupil had said he came to find Lin Qiye under the guidance of some existence. That existence's message, which he was asked to relay, seemed remarkably similar to what Cao Yuan had just said.
"Where did you hear these words?" Lin Qiye asked, puzzled.
Cao Yuan froze. "I didn't hear them from anywhere... I just suddenly thought of them. Why? What's wrong?"
"Nothing..."
"By the way, are we really just leaving like this? Shouldn't we bring Li Yifei along?"
"I promised him I'd let him live an ordinary life." Lin Qiye glanced back toward Shangjing University and smiled faintly. "He's found a place that suits him. Let's just let him stay."
"True. With his personality and abilities, he'd do well anywhere." Cao Yuan nodded. "Speaking of which, how do we get up to the Heavenly Court?"
"The position of Heavenly Court has been constantly shifting. Even now, it's unclear whether it's still within Great Xia or in the Mist... The only ones who might know its location, besides the Gods of Great Xia, would be Commander Zuo."
"What do you mean..."
Lin Qiye's eyes narrowed slightly. "The fact that we're at Shangjing University is known only to us and Commander Zuo, but the moment we entered the university on our first day, we encountered Jiang Taigong who had disguised himself as a counselor... The gods of Great Xia already knew we were coming to Shangjing University, and the one who informed them in advance was Commander Zuo.
He might know more than we could have imagined.
If we can't find Heavenly Court, we'll have to start from Commander Zuo..."
...
Heavenly Court.
An Qingyu followed behind Jiang Ziya, passing through a spirit-rich blue stone avenue, and stopped before a palace.
"Young Qingyu, during this time, you may stay here temporarily." Jiang Ziya spoke. "Someone will come to answer the questions in your heart."
"Stay here?" An Qingyu looked at this magnificent palace. "But I would attract those Migo..."
"Don't worry about these matters. Leave them to us. You just rest well."
Seeing Jiang Ziya put it this way, An Qingyu naturally wouldn't refuse. Leading Jiang Er, he walked into the palace.
The interior of this palace was even larger than An Qingyu had imagined. Besides the bedchamber and the grand hall for receiving guests, there was also a courtyard filled with celestial herbs at the back. In the center of the courtyard stood an elegant ancient pavilion, and one could only wonder what kind of great being had once lived here.
But at this moment, neither An Qingyu nor Jiang Er had any mood to admire the scenery of this immortal palace.
"Qingyu, what are they planning?" Jiang Er asked with concern.
"I don't know." An Qingyu shook his head. "However, they are the gods of my Great Xia. If they're doing this, there must be a reason... Since we've come here, we might as well stay peacefully."
An Qingyu's expression was completely calm. He walked through the palace and went straight to sit in the ancient pavilion at the center of the celestial herb courtyard.
Inside the ancient pavilion, there were two stone stools, a stone table, and an unfinished game of Go left as a remnant, quietly sitting on the table's surface.
An Qingyu lowered his head to examine this Go remnant, as if contemplating something.
"Jiang Er... my computational power seems to have recovered quite a bit." After a moment, An Qingyu came back to his senses and said.
"Really?"
"Yes, I feel my mind is clearer than before." An Qingyu's eyes narrowed slightly. "Come to think of it, the last time my computational power recovered was also after the Migo descended... Every time they descend, my abilities recover a bit? What exactly is their connection to me..."
An Qingyu had noticed this strange connection between himself and the Migo. Combined with the various earlier events, he felt that among the countless tangled clues, something was already about to emerge.
"Jiang Er... you mentioned before, who do the Migo worship?"
Jiang Er froze. "[Key to the Gate]."
"[Key to the Gate]..." An Qingyu murmured the name, his brow furrowing tighter and tighter.
Just then, streaks of light interwove on the opposite stone stool, transforming into a slightly portly figure in a Taoist robe, appearing before An Qingyu and Jiang Er.
"Pangpang!?" Jiang Er, seeing the figure, exclaimed.
An Qingyu下意识张开嘴想说些什么，沉默了片刻后，还是双手合十，恭敬开口：
"Greetings, Lingbao Tianzun."
Lingbao Tianzun sat across from An Qingyu, his expression somewhat complicated. He waved his hand and said: "No need for such formalities... This贫道 and the other two Tianzun's true bodies are still in the Mist. What remains here is merely a remnant shadow.
Before leaving, this贫道 had hoped this remnant shadow would never be awakened... I didn't expect that in the end, we would still come to this step."
"This remnant shadow was left for me?" An Qingyu swiftly caught the key point.
"Yes." Lingbao Tianzun nodded. "Before we departed, Yuanshi vaguely sensed a change in the heavenly mechanisms, so this贫道 specially left this remnant shadow... This贫道 knows you must have many questions in your heart. Go ahead, ask. Since things have come to this point, this贫道 will no longer hide anything from you."
An Qingyu gazed at Lingbao Tianzun, was silent for a long while, and slowly asked:
"What is the relationship between me and [Key to the Gate]..."
...
"Commander, they've arrived."
Inside the office, Zuo Qing set down his pen. "Let them in."
The office door opened, and Lin Qiye and Cao Yuan walked in side by side. The secretary actively withdrew, closing and locking the door behind him.
Looking at the two serious faces before him, Zuo Qing sighed helplessly. "What do you want to ask?"
"Did you know we were coming?"
"The moment I heard that An Qingyu had been taken away, I knew you would definitely come." Zuo Qing pointed to the two chairs before the desk. "Sit down first."
After hesitating for a moment, Lin Qiye still sat down, and at the same time said:
"Where is Heavenly Court now? And why did Jiang Taigong take Qingyu away?"
"Let me answer your second question first." Zuo Qing spoke unhurriedly. "I know you're very worried about An Qingyu, but for him, Heavenly Court is the safest place right now... You should be able to guess the specific reason."
"...Migo?"
"That's right. Those Migo's target is An Qingyu. They will continuously pass through gaps in time and space to search for his location. So no matter where An Qingyu stays on Earth, it would be extremely dangerous.
Heavenly Court has the gods of my Great Xia stationed there, enough to protect An Qingyu's safety... Now, Heavenly Court has entered the Mist. Only by doing this can we draw away the Migo's attention and prevent them from descending upon human society again."
"Heavenly Court has entered the Mist?" Lin Qiye's brow furrowed.
If Heavenly Court was still within Great Xia's borders, it would naturally be easy to find, but now that it has entered the Mist... it became rather troublesome.
"Besides the Migo I mentioned above, there's another important reason why Jiang Taigong took An Qingyu away." Zuo Qing took a deep breath.
"An Qingyu... cannot continue to exist in this world."
After endless unconsciousness, Time宇 suddenly sat up from the bed. To read the latest chapter content, please download the Star Reading app, ad-free and free to read the latest chapter content.

He gasped deeply for fresh air, his chest heaving.
Confusion, incomprehension, various emotions surged through his heart.
Where is this?
Then, Time宇 instinctively observed his surroundings, only to become even more bewildered.
A single occupancy dormitory?
Even if he had been successfully rescued, he should be in a hospital ward right now.
And his own body... how could there be not even a single scratch on it.
With doubt, Time宇's gaze quickly swept across the room, finally landing on a mirror by the bedside.
The mirror reflected his current appearance—approximately seventeen or eighteen years old, handsome features.
But the problem was, this wasn't him! Download Star Reading app, read the latest chapter content without ads for free
The previous him was a twenty-something-year-old handsome young man with noble bearing, who had been working for some time.
But now, this appearance was clearly only high school age...
This change left Time宇 stunned for a long time.
Don't tell him the surgery was successful...
Body, features, all changed. This wasn't a matter of whether the surgery succeeded or not, but rather immortal technique.
He had actually completely transformed into another person!
Could it be... he had transmigrated?
Besides the mirror that was obviously placed in a poor feng shui location by the bedside, Time宇 also discovered three books beside it.
Time宇 picked them up to look, and the book titles instantly made him speechless.
"Novice Keeper's Essential Beast-Raising Manual"
"Beast Pet Postpartum Care"
"Non-Human Species Beast Girl Appraisal Guide"
Time宇: ???
The first two book titles were still normal, but what was with that last one?
"Ahem."
Time宇's gaze sterned, and he extended his hand, but his arm quickly stiffened.
Just as he was about to flip open the third book to see what exactly this thing was, his mind suddenly spiked with intense pain, and massive memories surged forth like a tide.
