676 Divine Wizard
Empress Tianqi’s expression became subtle. She seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep. Her eyes were sometimes dull and sometimes lit up like a magic lamp.
Lu Benwei and Chu Yan looked at each other at the same time.
“Is she seeing through the future?”
A moment later, Empress Tianqi’s thoughts returned to reality. She sighed and said meaningfully, “The future is really complicated. Did we succeed or fail?”
Her words made Lu Benwei and Chu Yan even more puzzled.
“What do you mean?”
Empress Tianqi had a noble expression, and her every move revealed a dignified aura.
“The world is about to change.”
Lu Benwei pondered for a moment and said, “The great change you’re referring to is in the 24th year of Tianqi. For four consecutive years, there was a great drought, great flood, great locust plague, and great plague in the Tianqi Empire?”
“Yes.” Empress Tianqi nodded slightly. “It’s not just the disaster of the Tianqi Empire. It’s the end of the world. All countries and humans will die, and all countries are looking for a way to break out of this situation.”
“I see.” Lu Benwei pondered for a while and guessed, “The Apocalypse Empire has found its first way out of this situation, right?”
“I’ve obtained a half-step method to break out of this situation, but the future is still foggy,” Empress Tianqi said mysteriously, “I can see my own future, but I can’t see the future of the world.”
Her eyes became watery as she looked at the Baby Ghost in the mirror.
“Is he your child?” Lu Benwei asked.
Empress Tianqi did not deny it and slowly said something shocking.
She, Empress Tianqi, and some nobles went to another world in the 27th year of Tianqi, the last year of the drought, flood, locust plague, and plague. In other words, they abandoned their people and allowed the disaster to befall them.
“Why don’t you take your child away?” Lu Benwei asked coldly.
“My child is the most important thing in the future. I can’t take him away!” Empress Tianqi suddenly said loudly.
“The greatest calamity will come again. Lu Benwei, find my clansmen and return the child to them.” Empress Tianqi’s voice exploded like a bell.
Lu Benwei and Chu Yan were secretly shocked. The disaster was not over yet? Empress Tianqi knew Lu Benwei’s name!
Swallowing his saliva, Lu Benwei said, “The disaster you’re talking about, are you referring to the fierce monsters? Also, how do you know my name?”
“It’s something even more terrifying than them!”
Her voice was as majestic as a mountain. “Lu Benwei, you’re the chosen one and the only one. I’ll wait for you in the future in a thousand years!”
Empress Tianqi disappeared, and cracks appeared on the ancient mirror as if it was about to shatter.
Lu Benwei was surprised. He still had too many things to ask. Were there such things as innate skills in the ancient Dragon Kingdom? Was it Fang Xiaoxiao who found the descendant of the Divine Wizard Family? What exactly was the calamity? What did she mean when she said that he was the chosen one and the only one?
Chu Yan pursed her lips. ” After a thousand years, she would have already turned into a pile of dirt. Why would she still look for you?!”
“Kacha!”
At this moment, the mirror turned into a ball of light and entered the Baby Ghost’s body. His bloody eyes were gone, and his skin had returned to normal. He had turned back into a normal baby. If one looked closely, they would think that he was a little cute. His delicate skin, his cheeks were full of baby fat, and he was snoring at Lu Benwei’s feet.
Thinking about it carefully, it was extremely terrifying. This infant nestled at his feet was a prince of the ancient Dragon Kingdom’s Tianqi Empire.
“Will he not harm people like this?” Chu Yan asked.
“It shouldn’t be. According to Empress Tianqi, she sealed her son in the tomb of the nobles. The era was chaotic, and a trace of the seal was broken, causing him to be contaminated with some corpse qi.
“However, Empress Tianqi also had a backup plan. It was that ancient mirror that had already shattered. Unfortunately, its master was not around, and its power was weakened as a result, causing the Baby Ghost to do whatever he wanted.”
At this moment, the imperial baby slowly opened his eyes and looked up to see Lu Benwei.
“What? Why are you here?” The baby floated in the air and looked around Lu Benwei.
“You recognize me?” Lu Benwei was surprised. Combined with what Empress Tianqi had said previously, could it be that there was someone in the Tianqi Empire’s imperial palace who looked like him?
“No, I can’t beat the two of you. Didn’t I seal you in the secret realm?” the imperial baby asked.
He sucked on his fingers, his big round eyes shining. “Fortunately, you can’t kill me yet. Otherwise, it would be tragic.”
Lu Benwei heaved a sigh of relief and said to Chu Yan, “Looks like Empress Tianqi only used that ancient mirror to remove his corpse qi, and his memories are still the same as before.”
When Chu Yan heard this, she rubbed her little canine teeth. “Little baby, do you still want to twist a person’s head off and use it as a toy?”
The imperial baby sucked his fingers and said slowly, “Yes!”
“Pa!”
Lu Benwei grabbed him in his palm and slapped his butt.
“Believe it or not, I’ll twist your head off right now!”
The imperial baby raised his chubby little hand and wanted to hit Lu Benwei.
At this moment, his glabella flashed, and the ancient mirror appeared. It shone with divine light and enveloped the imperial baby.
“Ah! I was wrong, I was wrong!” The imperial baby screamed in pain.
“Sob, sob, sob. I’m just saying. I won’t really twist a person’s head off.”
Lu Benwei and Chu Yan were speechless as they lamented the magic of this ancient mirror. It could monitor the words and actions of the imperial baby.
“What about him?” Chu Yan asked.
“Keep him for now. If we don’t care about him, who knows how much trouble he might cause? Just relying on the mirror’s supervision won’t do.”
Lu Benwei looked at the ancient mirror. “You have a will now, right? I’ll put you and him into my spiritual sea.”
The ancient mirror did not say anything. It turned into a ball of light and went into the center of the imperial baby’s brows.
Lu Benwei put away the imperial baby and began to look for the exit.
At the same time, in reality, the sobbing sounds outside turned into a ball.
“Uncle Crocodile, don’t die!”
“Uncle Crocodile, thank you for protecting me.”
The Six-tailed Crocodile pursed his lips when no one was paying attention and muttered to himself, “Hehe, how can I die so easily? I just didn’t want that baldy to pester me.”
Chen Guangming felt very uncomfortable. In terms of responsibility, he needed to kill this crocodile monster. However, the crocodile had protected them, which made him feel a little sorry.
At this moment, Lu Benwei and Chu Yan walked out from a corner. “Wang Shuai, Liu Jingjing!”
Wang Shuai cried with snot and tears. “Sob, sob, sob, am I going to die too? I heard Hongyi’s voice!”
Lu Benwei walked forward and kicked him lightly. “You’re the one who’s dead!”
