Chapter 1260: Falling Gods Descend to the Human World

"Young Master, what you did before was too crude, and you showed far too little tenderness," the Mud Fox said to Xu Qing, licking her lips as her gaze lingered on the goddess.

Xu Qing frowned.

"Besides, that kind of stimulation is merely superficial; people easily adapt to it. You, you still don't understand deities as well as I do, especially goddesses." The Mud Fox chuckled softly, raising her delicate hand and slowly tracing it down the goddess's neck.

Where her hand passed, the goddess felt an intense surge of alarm. Her body stiffened as she stared intently at the Mud Fox, letting out a low cry, "How dare you!"

Her voice, carrying the inherent rank of her divine bloodline, possessed a powerful deterrent effect on ordinary deities, causing the Mud Fox's fingers to pause.

But soon, a strong glint appeared in the Mud Fox's eyes. It seemed the more defiant and noble the goddess was, the more excited she became. "This is it!"

With a tumultuous feeling in her heart, the Mud Fox leaned in close to the goddess's ear and blew a breath. "Little sister, do you know, your elder sister has been thinking of you for a long time? Remember to stay just like this for the foreseeable future, okay?"

That breath on her ear made the goddess's body tremble violently. A fear of the unknown rose in her heart, along with an instinctive urge to pull away.

Indeed, the Mud Fox's words intensified her sense of unease once more. But she knew that showing fear would be exposing a weakness. So, she forced herself to endure it, staring coldly at the Mud Fox and displaying the nobility of her bloodline.

The Mud Fox chuckled and waved her hand. Instantly, the secret chamber distorted. In the blink of an eye, a white jade platform appeared, conjured by the Mud Fox, settling in the center of the room. Then, under the Mud Fox's guidance, the goddess's body landed on the white jade platform and was restrained there.

Her tattered clothes transformed amidst flowing light, becoming a pink gauze robe. The Mud Fox even transferred some of her own essence to her, ensuring a more profound experience. As a result, the scene was perfected: white jade as the backdrop, pink gauze rippling, accentuating the goddess lying there.

Her entire body regained its luster, her skin as pristine and white as mutton-fat jade. Her eyes, like stars twinkling in the night sky, exuded innate nobility and coldness. At this moment, she let out a low cry, "You insignificant lower deity, utterly base, what do you intend to do?"

"Don't rush, little sister, your elder sister still needs some props." The Mud Fox's eyes, crescent-shaped with excitement, she raised her hand, snatched something from the void, and produced a small red bottle.

In front of Xu Qing and the goddess, she crushed the small bottle in her hand. Instantly, an oily liquid flew out, its subtle fragrance wafting throughout the secret chamber, mingling with the Mud Fox's voice.

"This oil was extracted from a strange plant growing in the Divine Realm. It then underwent a century of refining by me, followed by a millennium of sedimentation, combined with various rare heavenly treasures, before I could finally obtain this incredibly precious oil."

"If your bloodline weren't so noble, little sister, I wouldn't even bear to use it. I plan to use this oil to form wax, but it still lacks a wick."

As she spoke, the Mud Fox raised her hand, pulled a few strands from the goddess's cascading long hair, and wove them into a wick. Finally, she merged the two materials, shaping them into a bluish candle.

The goddess furrowed her delicate brows, gazing at the candle. She didn't know what this lower deity intended, so, combining it with her own understanding, she made a guess in her heart. "Is this some kind of soul-bewildering trick? You know nothing about higher deities!"

Hearing this, the Mud Fox smiled. She raised a finger, and instantly the candle was lit, its flame flickering to life. It began to burn.

Immediately, the scent of the oil, released more intensely as it burned, filled the entire chamber and permeated the goddess. The goddess tried to block it, but the fragrance surprisingly permeated her skin and entered her body. Soon, her breathing became uncontrollably rapid. Her eyes narrowed, and she vaguely sensed that something was wrong with this fragrance! It seemed as though other emotions, beyond her instincts for life and death, were beginning to sprout within her! This feeling was very alien to her.

"The plant from which the candle was made blooms only once every three thousand years. When it blooms, an area spanning a million li is enveloped by a mysterious mist. That mist can corrupt souls and generate emotions beyond imagination. For deities, it's like the mortal world's opium poppy."

These words immediately shook the goddess to her core. Her bloodline surged, trying to suppress the unfamiliar emotions blossoming within her mind. But the next moment, the Mud Fox, holding the candle, walked to the white jade platform, tilted it, letting a drop of wax drip out and fall onto the goddess's neck!

The instant it landed, the goddess sharply arched her neck. Trembling golden patterns appeared on her snow-white skin. The shimmering ripples in her phoenix eyes were churned into sparkling stardust by the surge of emotions within her. But soon, her bloodline power forcibly suppressed it. The ripples dissipated, and the alien emotions were continually suppressed.

However, this scene intensified the excitement in the Mud Fox's eyes. She moved the candle, dripping wax onto different parts of the goddess's body at a steady rhythm. Each drop that fell felt like a storm in the goddess's mind, transforming into world-shattering roars, stirring up endless waves. It aimed to break through her resistance, to shatter her suppression! And to stir up countless emotional fluctuations!

The goddess's heart also churned in this instant, but she would not yield. Her gaze towards the Mud Fox held no fear, but remained calm. "You lowly, base deity!"

The Mud Fox raised an eyebrow.

As for Xu Qing, he watched this scene with a strange expression. He simply stood up. "I'm going out for a bit." With that, Xu Qing took a step and walked out.

The Mud Fox looked up, feeling a slight regret in her heart. She had hoped Xu Qing would continue to watch, but since he didn't want to, she naturally couldn't force him. So, she said with a smile, "Rest assured, Young Master, everything will be perfect when you return."

Xu Qing said nothing, his figure vanishing.

Watching Xu Qing leave, the Mud Fox put down the candle, stretched lazily, and then gazed at the defiant goddess with a beaming smile. "It's better he's gone. Some methods are easier for me to use this way."

As she spoke, the Mud Fox waved her hand. Instantly, several objects flew out. Among them were ropes, clamps, whips, medicine bottles, gags, and even a large bronze mirror.

Seeing those items of unknown purpose, the goddess's mind trembled once more.

The Mud Fox, meanwhile, licked her lips, and a flush of excitement spread across her cheeks. She chuckled softly, "The game has only just begun."

Meanwhile, Xu Qing was speeding across the sky. Relying on the strange matter drawn from the heavens and earth, and Little Shadow's concealment, he was confident in remaining undetected for a short period, unless he encountered a true god-level powerhouse.

The reason for his outing this time, apart from him being too lazy to continue watching the Mud Fox, was primarily to acquire a star map to learn the direction back home. As for his target, he had already chosen it.

It was the Butterfly Deity, worshipped within the temple of the Scaled Ox tribe, who possessed bat-like wings! According to Xu Qing's previous reconnaissance, it was merely a God Platform, and only in its early stages. Such a deity would be easy for Xu Qing with his current combat power.

His only concern was that the process needed to be swift and covert, leaving no chance for the opponent to send out any ripples. So, after he went out, while remaining concealed, he unleashed his speed to the extreme. He became a trace imperceptible to the naked eye, undetectable even by ordinary divine senses, sweeping across the land and over mountains.

He appeared on the crystallized plain and saw the dark greenish-black temple revered by the Scaled Ox nation, comprised of countless Scaled Oxes. With a single charge, without anyone outside noticing, he directly entered the temple and plunged with lightning speed into the forehead of the Butterfly Deity statue inside the temple!

The statue shuddered violently. It seemed to struggle, but only for an instant before falling silent. Soon, golden blood flowed, spreading throughout the statue, then instantly receded, and everything returned to normal, as if nothing had happened. Outside the temple, sacrifices were still being offered at that very moment.

And the butterfly opened its eyes. He hadn't completely annihilated the Butterfly Deity, but had erased its consciousness, turning it into a garment that he now wore. In a manner similar to how he borrowed the Mud Fox's divine aura as a conduit, he absorbed everything about this deity.

"So, this place is only tens of thousands of universes away from the Fifth Star Ring—" A star map shimmered in his eyes.

"Also, the habits of deities in the Fourth Star Ring are indeed similar to those on Wanggu Continent. Most have their own territories and their own worshipping tribes, with clear divisions between them. The deities within this star are precisely like this, and above them, higher-level deities govern."

"The ones governing this star are precisely the Three Hundred and Sixty Emerald Halos—a divine race that once produced a true god!"

"As for the previous investigation of the island where I appeared, it was because that divine race discovered traces of spatial fragmentation there—but such occurrences happen occasionally on every star; it's not unusual. Moreover, with the Fourth Star Ring being so vast, they don't seem to believe that things would be so coincidental."

Xu Qing's eyes showed contemplation. Then, his body flickered, and controlling the butterfly statue, he flew out of the temple. The moment he appeared outside, countless Scaled Oxes prostrated themselves.

Xu Qing ignored them, spread his wings, and vanished into the heavens and earth, flying towards the Purple Crystal Mountain Range where his cave dwelling was located.

"I wonder if the Mud Fox has unlocked the goddess's essence lock," Xu Qing muttered inwardly.

Meanwhile, back in the Purple Crystal Mountain Range, within the dim cave dwelling, candlelight flickered. A seductive aura permeated the secret chamber.

On the white jade platform, the goddess's skin was flushed crimson, and her body trembled. She was still wearing the pink gauze dress, but her body was bound by ropes, expertly tied with specific knots. Each knot was tied perfectly, forming symbols of restraint. While maintaining a fixed posture, they created a dual pull on both her body and soul; the more she struggled, the tighter they became, as if she were held by countless invisible hands. As for the material of the ropes, it was also special, shimmering with colorful light, like flowing illusions. Evidently made from some peculiar material, capable of inducing endless hallucinations.

A strong sense of discomfort constantly stimulated the goddess, making her tremble all over and her body twist uncontrollably as she tried to break free from this unbearable stimulation. However, the ropes on her body restricted her movements.

Even more astonishing, a huge bronze mirror hung above her. This allowed the goddess to see herself in the mirror whenever she opened her eyes. The psychological humiliation interwoven with the extreme physical discomfort pushed the goddess to the brink of her limits.

Finally, after the Mud Fox picked up the candle again and let fall a single, gentle drop, a roar instantly erupted in the goddess's mind. All resistance crumbled, transforming into countless streaks of fiery light reflected in her pupils. Her gaze, which once shimmered with vast star rivers, gradually diffused, finally condensing into two pools of shattered divine marks, which then disintegrated into dust amidst the gale of unleashed emotions. Love, hate, resentment, passion, and the seven emotions and six desires all burst forth at that instant. Everything from her past became completely different in that moment, as if it had gained colors and flavors she had never known. Her consciousness completely succumbed, and faintly, only one voice echoed. "Welcome, to the mortal world." The Mud Fox leaned in and whispered softly into her starry eyes.
