Keyboard Immortal - Chapter 2917

Chapter 1430 True Identity

The Asura King now needed to deal with the aftermath of the Asura realm’s turmoil. Although Vimalakirti and Ratnasambhava were dead, they still had many trusted subordinates. If not handled properly, things could easily go wrong.

Zu’an, however, had no time for such matters. He had a mountain of important things to deal with and couldn’t afford to waste time. If he couldn’t stabilize the situation after Vimalakirti and Ratnasambhava’s deaths, it would prove he wasn’t qualified to be the Asura King.

He declined the invitation to stay and left with Xihe and Princess Liuli.

Xihe was quite annoyed on the way. They had come alone, but now she had a burden to carry.

Princess Liuli, however, seemed completely oblivious to her mood, constantly pestering Zu’an with questions, chattering away excitedly.

“Big brother, why are you two so amazing?”

“How did you and sister meet?”

“Who shed that Asura tear on you? Did you have a deeply unforgettable love affair with a female Asura?”

…

Xihe was initially quite impatient, but upon hearing the last question, she couldn’t help but perk up her ears.

She had naturally heard about the Asura’s tear; for a female Asura to shed tears for him, it was clear that she loved him to the core.

This guy is even more fickle than Dijun!

Zu’an was extremely troubled, looking at the questioning girl in front of him, a woman who was both jealous and gossipy. He found it very difficult to connect the two of them with the First True God.

No wonder the First True God was the loser back then; he completely lacked the majesty of divinity.

He thought for a long time but still didn’t tell them about the First True God. He had the protection of the God of Joy and Desire to know such a shocking secret, but now he might not be able to protect them from the unknown dangers they faced.

However, he still told them everything that happened in later generations, so they could know as much information as possible and be mentally prepared for the future.

Upon learning that he had also met an Asura princess in a later era, and that she looked very much like him, Princess Liuli blinked her big eyes, her gaze almost tear-filled.

It seemed this was fate.

Xihe couldn’t help but scoff, “Do you say this to every girl you know? There aren’t that many women who look alike.”

Zu’an smiled, “So you two are special.”

Xihe blushed slightly, knowing he was just being sweet-talking, but his handsome face and sincere tone still made her heart race.

Along the way, Zu’an told the two women about various events that happened in later generations, including their own and others’ stories.

Princess Liuli listened intently, but Xihe gradually realized something was amiss: “You were always hiding it, saying you were afraid of affecting history, but why aren’t you afraid now? Has something happened?”

A sense of unease crept into her heart.

Zu An thought to himself that now that he knew this world was a simulated, false world created by the God of Wisdom, he naturally wasn’t worried about those things anymore.

After a moment of silence, he said, “Next, we’re going to see Lady Houtu. You all need to be careful.”

Princess Liuli chuckled, “We Asuras are never afraid of battle, especially since Sister Xihe is so powerful. We’re not afraid of that Lady Houtu.”

Xihe, however, sensed something was amiss: “You doubt Lady Houtu?”

She had previously spoken of her with great reverence, but now her attitude had changed too drastically.

“Being careful is never a bad thing.” Zu An wasn’t sure what was going on with Lady Houtu in this world. He knew that the “Goddess of Earth” among the first generation of gods had ultimately betrayed them and sided with the second generation of true gods. Even now, her abilities were still inextricably linked to earth. Who knew if she was plotting something?

“Don’t worry, Liuli is right. We won’t be afraid of her if a real fight breaks out.” Xihe was a descendant of the Heavenly Court, the Sun Goddess, and Liuli was also a skilled Asura princess. Although Houtu was strong, the two of them were not necessarily weaker.

After giving their instructions, the group finally arrived in Youdu.

Houtu had returned ahead of time. Seeing their arrival, she glanced at Princess Liuli with some surprise, then quickly asked, “Have you found the authority of Asura?”

Zu’an didn’t answer directly, but instead asked her, “Has Your Majesty found the authority of humanity?”

Houtu smiled slightly, opening her palm, and a crystalline light illuminated the surrounding darkness: “Nuwa and I have a good relationship. She learned of my plan and supported me, sharing a wisp of the authority of humanity with me.”

Zu’an nodded: “I have some things I’d like to say to Your Majesty alone.”

Houtu was somewhat surprised, but still nodded: “Alright.” She then

said to Xihe and Princess Liuli beside her, “Please wait a moment, ladies.”

With a flick of her sleeve, she led Zu’an into a special space.

Xihe and Princess Liuli exchanged a glance, both seeing each other’s tension. Zu’an’s previous instructions still echoed in their ears; they didn’t know what he was worried about.

At this moment, Zu’an and Houtu were in a special space. Houtu’s clear eyes seemed to see through people’s hearts: “Did something happen during the Asura Path trip?”

“Indeed, some unexpected things happened, but we also gained a lot,” Zu’an immediately asked, “I wonder how Your Majesty plans to resolve the issue of the power in the Animal Path?”

Houtu smiled slightly: “From what you’ve said, it seems that the power in the Asura Path has already been obtained. The Animal Path is indeed a bit troublesome. Although there are many animals in the world now, they have not formed a path that can be compared with the other five paths, so naturally they cannot obtain the power in this path.”

Zu’an waited quietly for her to continue.

“I’ve been pondering this matter myself. Your experiences have puzzled me greatly. Why must the Six Paths of Reincarnation only be completed in the future? Something must have happened in this era that prevented it.” Houtu Niangniang paused, then looked at Zu’an. “From the moment I saw you, I could sense a change in your attitude towards me. Although you concealed it well, you couldn’t hide it from me.”

“It seems you don’t intend to hand over the Asura’s authority to me.”

Zu’an stared intently at her. “Answer me a question first.”

“Go ahead.”

“Should I call you Houtu Niangniang, or… Goddess of Love and Beauty?”

Hearing his words, Houtu Niangniang was taken aback, then laughed.

Her voice was no longer as elegant and dignified as before, but instead became increasingly melodious and beautiful. The most beautiful melodies in the world combined couldn’t compare to her voice. Although

her appearance hadn’t changed, her entire demeanor had transformed from its previous simplicity. Her clothes were extremely luxurious and beautiful, every inch radiating a dreamlike, shimmering light.

She was the most beautiful goddess in the world.

“I didn’t expect to see you again so soon. I said last time that I hoped to hear a different answer from you next time.”

“So, are you choosing me now, or those two women outside?”
