You Siqi's response sounded reasonable, but the sudden filial piety of the Heavenly Dao, which had never cared about its father before, still made Liu Buli feel a little unaccustomed to it.
He opened his mouth and after hesitating for more than ten seconds, Liu Buli asked, "No, you're so brave all of a sudden, haven't you considered that the Heavenly Dao is an unfilial son and might completely ignore you?"
"Of course I've considered it. I've always thought so. That's why I was so timid before, but I won't be like this anymore."
You Siqi proudly raised his chin.
His demeanor made Liu Buli want to reach out and touch his forehead, to check if this guy had encountered too many problems recently and was under too much pressure, causing him to lose his mind.
Perhaps because his thoughts were completely written on his face, You Siqi couldn't help but pout after glancing at Liu Buli. He said, "Don't think about those messy things. I'm not crazy. If I weren't sure there was no problem, I wouldn't have dared to do this."
He said it very seriously.
But Liu Buli clearly wasn't convinced.
Still looking at You Siqi with a confused expression, he successfully made You Siqi flustered.
Clearing his throat, he finally told the truth, "Before we set off this time, the Heavenly Dao contacted me proactively. He said that the danger was too great for me to follow you and survive. Because I am the Creator God, this world cannot be without me. Therefore, he hoped that I would cherish my life and not risk it by following you."
Liu Buli blinked. "So he agreed to protect you?"
"Of course not," You Siqi shook his head decisively. "This is my own analysis, and I'm not sure if it's right or wrong, so I'm just testing it with Chu Yi. After all, didn't you say before that his attack methods weren't that strong? Even if the Heavenly Dao didn't care about me, you could definitely save me from him. So this is the best test subject, don't you think?"
Liu Buli: ...
In that instant, he didn't know whether he should first praise You Siqi's bold spirit or sympathize with the poor Heavenly Dao who was used by him and then by the Creator God...
However, no matter what, this was a good thing for them.
Originally, they had to constantly worry about You Siqi's safety.
Now it didn't matter, as the Heavenly Dao would intervene.
As long as the Heavenly Dao still cared about their Creator God, You Siqi's existence would be like a bomb. Anyone who dared to touch him would explode.
Upon realizing this, Liu Buli even hoped that the Ghost King would attack You Siqi. Although he wasn't sure if the Heavenly Dao could still intervene with someone who had "died." However, if it could be resolved, it would save them a lot of trouble.
But even though he thought this in his heart, he knew that after hearing their conversation, the Ghost King must have started to be wary of You Siqi.
So, regardless of whether the Heavenly Dao could punish the Ghost King, from the Ghost King's perspective, he would definitely not rashly attack You Siqi.
After all, the Heavenly Dao was clearly watching them from above.
No one could escape this.
Everyone knew this very well, so much so that You Siqi now felt as if he was all-powerful. Since the Ghost King didn't dare to attack him, he had become the best meat shield in this battle.
He simply reached out and grabbed Liu Buli's arm, and following the map in his memory, You Siqi ran towards the direction of the underground palace. As he ran, he didn't forget to say to Liu Buli, "I finally have an invincible buff, so I must use it well. Don't worry, just follow me. Let alone this Chu Yi, even their strongest Chu Er wouldn't scare me! I don't believe he can withstand the continuous bombardment of heavenly thunder!"
You Siqi spoke with such confidence.
Liu Buli couldn't help but smile as he listened.
He nodded. He had to admit, being protected by someone else felt really good.
However, it was different from what they expected. Perhaps because the Ghost King himself didn't trust Chu Er as much as he trusted Chu Yi. In any case, when the two of them ran into the underground palace, they still didn't see any other ghosts.
Things proceeded much more smoothly than expected, and Liu Buli couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The moment they entered the underground palace, Liu Buli directly shot his spiritual energy into the air, forming a fireball that illuminated the entire palace.
The underground palace was much larger than they had imagined.
However, because it was so empty, as they stood on the stairs leading down and looked up, they directly saw the huge ice coffin placed in the center of the palace.
From this perspective, this group of ghosts was truly incredibly unintelligent.
Liu Buli couldn't help but smile wryly as he looked at it.
As he walked towards the coffin, Liu Buli could clearly feel the pressure that the Ghost King had exerted on him growing stronger.
He tentatively removed some of You Siqi's defenses, and as expected, You Siqi didn't feel any discomfort.
It was evident that the Ghost King truly didn't dare to deal with him anymore.
You Siqi also realized this and immediately showed an eager expression, excitedly asking Liu Buli, "Why don't you give me your sword? I'll go and pierce his primordial spirit right now? He doesn't dare to touch me, so wouldn't we succeed directly?"
Liu Buli frowned.
Logically speaking, this was indeed possible.
But the problem was...
Looking into You Siqi's eyes, Liu Buli spoke with a complicated mood, "You've indeed reached invincibility with your passive skills, but have you considered a problem? Your active skills might not be enough. You can approach his primordial spirit and wield my sword, but can you really destroy the primordial spirit... are you sure you can do it?"
Liu Buli had hit the nail on the head.
You Siqi was a little embarrassed for a moment.
Liu Buli continued, "Besides, if you were to attack him, and he desperately tried to take you down with him. Do you think your son's lightning could destroy his primordial spirit faster than the Ghost King in front of you? Could it guarantee that his primordial spirit would be destroyed before you were killed?"
