Chapter 611 Who Left Behind a Plan?
As soon as Apep uttered those words, even Nasita couldn't help but let out a disgusted "Ugh."
Xu Ning was naturally even more furious, and the lightning rings behind him were almost visible.
"What do you mean by wiping my butt to pave the way for me? You have absolutely no sense of propriety as a senior or as a woman. If you don't make things clear today, that spark you just ignited will be your last meal."
Apep was not intimidated by Xu Ning's threats at all. The monster that he transformed into, resembling a seaweed, continued to relentlessly pursue Xu Ning, showing that he also harbored considerable hatred towards him.
"When the laws of nature invaded our world, the Dragon King led us to rebel against the order defined by outsiders. To this end, he even brought dark power from outside the world. At that time, we all believed that it was the only power to defeat the laws of nature."
Xu Ning waved his hand to shake off the attack of the "wakame," but his heart was churning like a giant wave. He never imagined that the connection between this world and "forbidden knowledge" had existed since the very beginning of creation.
"An unprecedented battle unfolded in Teyvat, and the entire world was nearly destroyed. The victors shaped the world, and the losers turned to ashes. But even though the Dragon King perished, I did not give up searching for a way to reverse the situation."
"On the edge of a world on the verge of collapse, I sought to gain more forbidden knowledge, but was stopped by giant nails falling from the sky. I do not believe that the age of dragons has ended. The scales and will of the Dragon King still shine with an indelible light in my heart, and I will follow it until the end of my life."
Xu Ning paused for a moment, extinguished the lightning flashing in his hand, and replaced it with the power of Yao Guang Jiu Quan.
"This is ancient history, and you still hold a grudge. That's really crazy."
Upon hearing Xu Ning's words, Apep seemed stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into wild laughter, "Crazy? Not as crazy as you and that Amon..."
“Amon, the one you call Ahmar, is also an ambitious man. Not only did he obtain the power of forbidden knowledge with the help of Nabu Marikata, but he also wants to establish a powerful country on my territory. Although I look down on his behavior, I still acquiesced to it. Of course, in exchange, after his death, all the knowledge he possesses will belong to me.”
Xu Ning said coldly, "So, you devoured Amon after he died? It seems you brought this all on yourself. It's really hard to feel sorry for you."
“The only thing I don’t need is your cheap sympathy,” Apep exhaled a breath of miasma to scare Xu Ning away. “Amon told me that he might succeed, but he is more likely to fail. But in any case, he has opened up a path, a path that may overcome the laws of nature. Even if he is gone, you will come here to take what he left behind and continue on your way.”
“I believed his lies, about the path to overcome the laws of nature, about the things left behind. But after I devoured him as promised, I realized that I got nothing from him except the pain of the end of the world.”
Xu Ning pursed his lips speechlessly. "Of course you didn't get anything. That guy hid the stuff so well that it took me a lot of effort to get it."
However, after hearing this, Xu Ning roughly understood the feud between the Red King and Apep.
In general, it seems that Ahmar learned of Apep's greed and took advantage of it to provide insurance against the possible outbreak of forbidden knowledge in Sumeru.
Xu Ning stopped being chased and used the "Bring in the Wine" move to inject the alcohol into the body of the "Wakame" monster.
"Alright, whether you did it voluntarily or were tricked, you'll inevitably end up like this. The horror of forbidden knowledge is something you can't absorb and utilize just by wishful thinking."
"Moreover, I have never asked the Crimson King to do anything for me, nor have I conspired with him to deceive you. First, absorb the wine I gave you, and Little Grass God and I will do our best to help you recover. Don't use the lives of these poor little guys as nourishment."
After absorbing the wine that Xu Ning had spilled, the wakame-shaped monster's entire body turned greenish-blue.
Xu Ning walked over to Nasita, who was secretly releasing her Grass God power to help Apep repair her body, and flicked her on the head. "I'm fighting Him to the death, and you're secretly channeling elemental power into Him. You're really my good partner. I shouldn't have agreed to come with you."
Nasida covered her head and chuckled sheepishly.
Xu Ning reached for the mouth of his wine gourd. "I knew that when He said He wouldn't let me brew wine with the Heart of God, He must have been saving it for something else. I never expected it would be used here. Here, it's returned to its rightful owner. With this, you won't wear yourself out and need to replant, right?"
Xu Ning laboriously pulled his hand out of the teleportation array at the mouth of the gourd. A small chess piece, radiating a rich life force, lay quietly in his palm. It was the Grass God's Heart that Nasita had used to exchange for the "truth" from the Doctor, but which Xu Ning had intercepted.
Nasita reached out her small hand and took the tiny "chess piece" back. She closed her eyes and once again took control of the grass elemental power, manipulating and adjusting its attributes to fill Apep's deficit.
Xu Ning himself wasn't idle either, manipulating the Yao Guang Wine Spring to scatter it everywhere, and also summoning down all the mushroom beasts that had flown up.
"Never give up your life easily. You should use that little brain on your shoulders more often. Oh, by the way, don't you have a few illegitimate children outside? After things are over here, how about I come and help you bring them to reunite with your family?"
Kun Kun Zhen Xun said cheerfully, "No need. I've grown up and can live outside on my own. Once our home is restored, I will leave the emotions and memories of my family here and go find the children myself."
As the heart of the oasis began to emit a soft green light, the grass on the ground regained its fresh color, and the unhealthy yellowish-green that had permeated the entire body finally disappeared, Nasida and Xu Ning stopped what they were doing at the same time.
"While you did save me, we stand on different sides in this world, and I have no desire to have anything to do with you, so don't expect me to thank you. As for Buyer, when you perish because of your boundless curiosity, I will still despise and mock you in my heart..."
Xu Ning was furious. This guy was a real nuisance. The millstone hadn't even been removed yet, and he was already cursing the donkey.
Apep, of course, didn't forget Xu Ning either, turning his head to say, "As for you, I'll keep an eye on you too. I'd like to see just how far you can go, the guy on whom so many people have placed their hopes..."
