As time passed, the heaven and earth gradually returned to peace. Although Qu Yao did not appear again, the various gods still did not give up on the idea of encircling the demon world and killing Qu Yao.
Half a year later.
Qu Yao's hard work finally paid off, as she found the curse related to half-human and half-beast in an ancient book.
According to the book, the beast once wanted to transform into a human and blend into the human world, but when it was looking for a way, it instead cultivated an evil spell that turned a human into half-human and half-beast. Later on, this curse was sealed by the God of Light.
In order to remove the curse, one had to pierce the red mole between the God of Light's brows and extract a drop of blood from it. However, that red mole was the source of all things in the world. If he had not voluntarily pierced it, no one would have been able to cut that mole.
Wasn't the God of Light the same god that Tongcheng wanted to sacrifice her to?! Qu Yao cursed in her heart. Why was it this demon again?!
This time, she wanted to go up to heaven and meet this legendary God of Light to see who he was and why there were so many legends about him.
As usual, Qu Yao did not let Shadow and the others follow her on this trip to heaven as they would be easily discovered as demons. Moreover, ever since the gate to the demon world opened, Shadow's management was all the more important.
Shadow had helped her plan the route to the Hall of Light in advance. On the way, she could avoid the halls of other gods. However, the God of Light was ruthless when it came to dealing with monsters. Shadow had repeatedly warned her that if she could not succeed, she must leave. She must not risk her life.
"I know!" Qu Yao cursed in her heart. Shadow was simply a ten-thousand-year-old antique, always nagging.
She had always had to deal with a lot of things on her own. Even though Shadow and everyone in the demon world had said that they were willing to help her, she had never agreed. It was not because she did not like them, but because she liked them too much.
She did not know how to express her love, so she often used violence as a disguise. She never let anyone follow her. She called them ugly and stupid, but in her heart, she was worried that something would happen to them.
Everything began with her, so she had to bear the consequences on her own.
.....
This was her first time coming to heaven.
Seven-colored multicolored clouds lingered above the clouds. The golden light of the sun shone warmly in the sky. The entire heaven shone brightly, even more dazzling than her golden snake tail.
Heaven was abnormally quiet. It was not as lively as the mortal world, nor was it as chaotic as the demon world. It was a clean and holy serenity.
Qu Yao felt as if she was stepping on cotton with every step she took. It was so light that it made people dizzy.
Heaven was much bigger than she had imagined.
The demon world was divided into six major parts: The Demon Beast Mountain, the Myriad Ghost River, the Evil Spirit Cave, the Scattered Grave, the Demon Palace where Qu Yao was located, and the wilderness at the border.
Heaven was comparable to the three demon worlds, with an endless expanse of whiteness.
The human world was wedged between the demon world and heaven, which were each black and white. With immense love, humans could become gods, and with just a thought, they could become demons.
Qu Yao always felt that everything in the world was a game played by fate.
When she reached heaven's highest level, she saw a huge golden door. Although she had the ability to break in, she still did not dare to act rashly. There were many other exalted gods' palaces around her, and if there were any unusual movements, she would most likely be surrounded by the gods.
Qu Yao walked around the high wall for a long time. Finally, she saw a small side door under a tree.
It was such a high wall, but there was no back door. Instead, there was a small side door?
Was the brain of the God of Light abnormal? Why not construct a back door? This entrance did not appear to be a dog hole or a side door. It was far too sloppy, and even the boundary had overlooked this area.
It seemed that the heavens were helping her. Qu Yao tested the boundary on the side door and found that it was easily opened.
She bent down and squeezed through the small door with the hem of her skirt.
The Hall of Light was very large. The front courtyard, the middle courtyard, the garden, the backyard... all kinds of courtyards were scattered chaotically. Qu Yao was lost.
It was a f*cking maze, right?!
