Chapter 1 The Safety of Weak Water Lake

"Zhang Zizhen's clone is at the bottom of Weak Water Lake in the zoo." Uncle chuckled. "There's no place safer or more secure than the bottom of Weak Water Lake."

"In the zoo?" Zhang Yuanqing was taken aback, then frowned. "You're really bold. Aren't you afraid Ling Tuo will notice?"

He hadn't expected his old man's clone to be in Weak Water Lake. He had even ventured into the dangerous depths to rescue the Devil's Eye, riding the waves in the lake.

It felt like a lifetime ago, even though it was just last year.

Uncle chuckled again, "If it was Zhang Zizhen's idea, of course, Ling Tuo wouldn't be fooled. But before Zhang Zizhen died, he entrusted the clone to Chen Shu. It was only more than ten years later that I hid his clone at the bottom of Weak Water Lake. You know, with this intermediate step, we can clear the cause and effect and effectively avoid deduction."

In short, Ling Tuo could see through Zhang Zizhen's ideas, but Ling Tuo couldn't directly deduce the Void Demigod's private operations. With Taiyin's protection, it would be even safer.

After all, Ling Tuo isn't the Lord of the Stars.

As for whether the Lord of the Stars knew, it didn't matter because, in the eyes of the Lord of the Stars, the Three Heroes of Xiaoyao were all small fry except for Ling Tuo.

They could be discarded after being used, posing no threat at all. He wouldn't even bother to step on them, and that was indeed the case.

Uncle continued, "As for Wangshi Wuhen's clone, it's also in Weak Water Lake!"

Zhang Yuanqing expressed his emotions with a long "Mmm."

Uncle had sighed and lamented that he didn't know where Master Wuhen's clone was hidden.

"Master Wuhen sealed himself in a phantom realm for decades. His clone must have been carried with him, which is safer than hiding it anywhere." Uncle said:

"Before he entered the instance dungeon and became a Phantom God, I met him once, and he entrusted the clone to me at that time. As for why I didn't tell you, it's because you were too weak. If you knew, it would be as good as Ling Tuo knowing. With Ling Tuo's hatred for the Three Heroes of Xiaoyao, he would definitely try to destroy the clone."

Zhang Yuanqing said expressionlessly, "That makes sense!"

Uncle continued:

"As for Chu Shang's clone, I've also found it. Although the extermination event happened very suddenly, even Zhang Zizhen had no warning. He was brooding over it for many years. Of course, now we all know that it was the Lord of the Stars who secretly interfered and disrupted the Star Observation."

"After Chu Shang's death, his clone could only be in one of two situations: either hidden in the item bar, and with his death, all the items in the item bar were recycled by the Lingjing (Spirit Realm);

"Or preserved in the conquered gang instance dungeon. Chu Shang was the head of the Chu family and also the gang leader. The conquered gang instance dungeon was like his own backyard."

Like Mo Zong's Mechanical City! Zhang Yuanqing nodded slightly, "So, Chu Shang's clone is in the gang instance dungeon?"

Mo Zong's Mechanical City had become his secret meeting place with the Third Dao Mountain Niangniang (Lady).

"Of course!" Uncle smiled:

"Compared to the item bar, the gang instance dungeon is indeed safer. According to the Lingjing's mechanism, once a gang instance dungeon is generated, it will no longer be open to members outside the gang. Once the gang disappears, these instance dungeons will not disappear, nor will they open, becoming permanent 'garbage.' This kind of garbage is the treasure trove that we Void professionals like to explore the most.

"On the other hand, once Chu Shang dies, his clone will be regarded as a high-level material 'rich in spirituality' and randomly assigned to the instance dungeons of the Musician profession, or to multiplayer instance dungeons. Then it's over. Spiritually rich materials are not only sought after by Lingjing Xingzhe, but also by the NPCs in the instance dungeon. Over the years, it has been dismantled and used countless times.

"If I were Chu Shang, I would also keep the clone in the gang instance dungeon."

Zhang Yuanqing breathed a sigh of relief, "So, you and Yu'er had already collected Zhang Zizhen's and Chu Shang's clones a long time ago, and you've been biding your time, hiding it from me because I was weak. I can understand that. But why didn't you revive Zhang Zizhen and Chu Shang when you sneaked into the Soldiers of Heaven Sect to revive me?"

Two peak Overlords would have been a very considerable force at the time.

Uncle shrugged, "What's the use of peak Overlords? The Nine Elders of headquarters, the peak Overlords of the evil camp, have been background decorations from beginning to end. They don't need to take action when the order is stable, and their level isn't high enough for the final battle."

"Bullshit!" Zhang Yuanqing said coldly, "When I was in New York County, if I had two peak Overlords helping me, I wouldn't have encountered a desperate situation in the instance dungeon."

A series of battles after returning to the Second District would have been easier. He could even follow two "dads" to instance dungeons, level up faster and more conveniently. He wouldn't have had to wallow in the Goddess Association's instance dungeon, being slept with by NPCs again and again, switching to another instance dungeon after this one to continue being slept with.

"The main thing is, your mom thought that reviving Zhang Zizhen at that time would only provoke Ling Tuo's revenge. If he was killed again, there would be no hope of revival. Yu'er seconded!" Uncle unhesitatingly betrayed his two younger sisters.

... Zhang Yuanqing was silent for a few seconds, his dignified face expressionless as he said, "I am indeed an orphan."

"Then there's no need to use this kind of mutually destructive attack, it will affect me." Uncle said.

"Get lost!"

After driving away the family disgrace, Zhang Yuanqing grabbed the Yata Mirror from the void, looked at himself in the mirror, and then shook out the Overlord-level clone.

He looked at the clone and instructed:

"Go, meet Zhang Zizhen and Chu Shang, and be nice."

After the completion of the Sun Source, he was the most powerful demigod of the time. In terms of position, he symbolized light and order, majestic, domineering, and unique.

Moreover, the Lord of the Sun is different from other demigods. His brilliance, strength, and sharp edge are his symbols, and they cannot be hidden.

Just like the sun cannot be hidden.

Therefore, he was destined not to be suitable for appearing in an environment of filial piety and family reunion.

If he called out "Dad," Zhang Zizhen would have to kneel on the spot and say: "Noble Lord of the Sun, you are the light, you are the electricity, you are the only myth. Please don't kill this humble man."

If Zhang Yuanqing said: "Then from now on, let's each address each other as we see fit. You call me Lord of the Sun, and I'll call you Dad."

Zhang Zizhen would have to say: "If you do this, Zizhen can only commit suicide to apologize!"

Although there is some artistic exaggeration, as long as he is present, his parents will definitely be on pins and needles. This is a suppression of position.

"Leave it to me!" The clone Zhang Yuanqing put the mirror in his pocket and waved his hand, "Send me out."

The next second, he was sent to the real world.

...

Zoo, in the depths where tourists are not allowed to enter, on the shore of Weak Water Lake.

The crimson flesh, full of Cthulhu-esque style, stood like a mountain of meat on the lakeside.

Around the Mother God's Womb, people waiting for the resurrection of their relatives and friends stood silently.

They included Chen Shu, the clone Zhang Yuanqing, Jiang Yu'er, Xiao Yuan, Kou Beiyue, Elder Dog, Madam JoJo sitting in front of a miniature canopy bed, Xiahou Aotian, An Dieqi, and a stuffed rabbit with bright red eyes.

Among them, Madam JoJo was there to watch (join the fun).

As the Void Demigod used a long wooden hook to hook out a rattan inserted ten centimeters underwater on the shore, and then slowly pulled up the rattan, pulling out three pig cages, everyone present had a change of emotions.

Their eyes were fixed on the two pig cages, either expectant, nervous, or bittersweet.

Inside the pig cages were three bodies wrapped in a layer of "fetal membrane."

The rattan and the pig cages were made of Lin wood, including the wooden nail that embedded the rattan on the shore.

It was these things that allowed the three bodies to be hidden in the Weak Water and not sink to the bottom.

Uncle glanced at them, picked up the middle pig cage, and said:

"Yu'er, revive your adoptive father and future father-in-law first."

Jiang Yu'er rolled her eyes at him, beckoned to bring the pig cage over, then opened the "hatch" of the Mother God's Womb, and threw the body wrapped in the fetal membrane into the flesh cabin.

The hatch of the Mother God's Womb then closed. The prop, shaped like a uterus, began to pulsate powerfully, like a heart. Inside the hatch, covered with a layer of pale white film, the body wrapped in the fetal membrane began to melt, as if it had fallen into the stomach of a beast.

As the clone dissolved, the pulsations of the Mother God's Womb became more and more violent. An embryo formed in the flesh cabin, rapidly developing and growing. A few minutes later, a hand opened the membrane covering the mouth of the flesh cabin.

The cute, petite, fluffy rabbit and Chen Shu couldn't help but take two steps forward, approaching the flesh cabin, their eyes fixed on the palm that opened the membrane.

The membrane "tore" open, and a handsome young man slowly sat up from the flesh cabin.

His features were three or four parts similar to Zhang Yuanqing, but his temperament was completely different, gentle, upright, with a faint dignity, and a touch of Confucian general.

Zhang Zizhen looked around with a somewhat dazed expression. When he saw himself sitting in the flesh cabin of the Mother God's Womb and saw a group of people watching around, he understood everything.

The first thing he did was to let black, viscous energy gush out from his pores, weaving into a simple robe on his body.

"Zizhen..."

Chen Shu's tears welled up in her eyes. At this moment, the longing suppressed in her heart for sixteen years erupted like a volcano, turning into surging sorrow and joy.

She rushed towards the Mother God's Womb, stepping on the pulsating flesh substance, and threw herself at her beloved husband, regardless of everything.

"Wow, Zizhen!"

A white shadow rushed out from beside her. When passing Chen Shu, whether intentionally or unintentionally, she kicked her in the calf, knocking Chen Shu to the ground, and then jumped into Zhang Zizhen's arms first.

Zhang Yuanqing, who felt like an orphan, pretended not to see it and didn't help.
