She was quite optimistic about Shen Qing, otherwise she would not have thought of recruiting her under her command, and even recommended her as a candidate for the divine general in front of the Holy King Jiuyou.
When Shen Qing was recommended as a candidate for the divine general, there was also the intention of saving her life.
When the Red Blood Molten Star Array is activated, all lives will be devastated. However, for the divine generals, they are protected by the Nine Nether Saint King and will not be affected too much. At most, their incense and vows will be damaged.
These parts can still be slowly made up once they are outside the domain.
Shen Qing heard the hidden meaning in Snow God's words. It was obvious that Snow God did not think that she was qualified to compete with Nine Nether Saint King, and did not want her to be like the Demon Slayer, a moth to a flame.
"Thank God for the reminder."
Shen Qing breathed a sigh of relief and bowed. The Snow God would not investigate the matter further, which was a pleasant surprise to her.
"Take care of yourself."
The Snow God raised his hand to see the guest off, and the door of the mansion opened again.
"and many more."
Just as Shen Qing reached the door, the Snow God suddenly spoke with a hint of surprise on his face: "The Holy King wants to see you."
Shen Qing's pupils dilated slightly, and her heartstrings tensed uncontrollably. It was a bit rash of her to suddenly come to the Snow God General's residence. The series of unexpected events had completely deviated from her original expectations.
After pondering for a moment, Shen Qing suppressed the restless spiritual energy in his body and gave up the idea of taking action at this moment.
For a strong man of the level of the Nine Nether Saint King, any corner in the Imperial Capital or even in the Middle-earth makes no difference as long as it is right in front of him.
Since the Saint King Jiuyou did not choose to take direct action, it means that there is still room for improvement, and perhaps the situation is not as bad as she imagined.

A slight sound was heard, and the void cracked like a broken mirror, revealing a portal glowing with divine light, mixed with a divine aura that was completely different from that of the Snow God.
"Come with me."
The Snow God said this casually, and took the lead, stepping into the light gate.
Shen Qing did not hesitate and followed slowly.
This portal was obviously opened temporarily through mid-air. Just based on his control over space, the strength of Saint King Jiuyou is enough to rival that of a true god.
Before reaching the state of unity, most practitioners are exploring their own potential. Only after the spirit and body are united can they comprehend the laws of heaven and earth.
With Shen Qing's current level of cultivation, he can already sense some of the aura of the laws, but due to the limitations of his cultivation level, it is like looking at flowers in the fog, difficult to see through.
When crossing the door, Shen Qing's thoughts paused for a moment. When he came to his senses, he was already standing on a wide platform.
Looking at the statues around the platform, Shen Qing knew where he was without having to think.
Sacrifice platform.
Nine statues of gods and generals, each more than 90 feet tall, surround it, their bodies radiating lapis lazuli light and looking majestic and solemn.
Not far in front of her, stood a hundred-foot-tall statue, dressed in a black shirt and wearing a royal crown. His body was as big as a mountain, exuding a terrifying oppressive force.
The Holy King of Nine Netherworlds.
At this moment, the statues of the Nine Nether Saint King and the nine divine generals had all opened their eyes and were staring at Shen Qing with indifferent expressions.
In Shen Qing's perception, any one of these nine gods, including the Supreme God Tianfeng who was promoted to a god not long ago, is far stronger than the Dragon King of the South China Sea.
"December, I have met the Holy King."
Shen Qing bowed and faced the strongest person on this planet, carefully controlling his emotional fluctuations.
"Xue is right. Your talent is indeed rare."
After looking at Shen Qing for a long time, the Saint King Jiuyou spoke:
"If you join me, I will allow you to keep your body and true self. After I enter the realm of creation, I will send you to the Vast Sea Star Palace. That is the leader of humanity in the chaotic universe. I believe you will have a good fortune in the future."
These words were completely beyond Shen Qing's expectations. She had never thought that the Holy King Jiuyou would extend an olive branch to her.
Moreover, she heard the name of Hanhai Star Palace again.

The Star Palace of the Vast Sea.
Shen Qing had heard this name many times. She had also heard it from Ye Lifeng in later generations.
In later generations, the vast sea of stars is a terrifying force that controls half of humanity, looks across the six realms, and overlooks billions of galaxies.
Tens of thousands of years are but a blink of an eye for a force of this level. In this era, Xinggong is already the undisputed overlord.
Gathering his thoughts, Shen Qing calmed down and said in a deep voice: "May I ask Saint King, what do you need me to do?"
There is no free gift in the world. You don't have to think about it to know that Jiuyou's conditions are far from being as simple as verbally agreeing to join his team.
"Your body and soul belong to me from now on, not to the Vast Sea Star Palace, and certainly not to the human race. Before I activate you, all you need to do is practice with peace of mind."
Jiuyou's answer did not surprise Shen Qing. It was tantamount to treating her as a chess piece inserted in the Hanhai Star Palace, with great ambitions.
"Can I refuse?"
Shen Qing took a deep breath and waited for Jiuyou's reply.
The Holy King Jiuyou did not speak again and slowly closed his eyes. The gods around him also fell silent at the same time. A space portal opened behind Shen Qing, the meaning of which was self-evident.
After the Red Blood Molten Star Array is activated, all living creatures on this planet will eventually die.
The recruitment offered by the Saint King Jiuyou is a blessing from God. If Shen Qing is unwilling to accept it, it would be ungrateful. The Saint King will not lower himself and say more.
Shen Qing turned around and stepped into the door of space without any hesitation.
At the side, the incarnation of the Snow God raised his head and spoke softly:
"Holy King, I hope you can give her another chance. She is just a child and has not yet seen the true face of this world. Just like Yu in the past, give her some more time, and I believe she will think clearly."
"That's all."
After a long silence, the Nine Nether Saint King opened his eyes again:
"It won't happen again."
"Thank you, Holy King." The Snow God bowed.
"There's not much time left. Let her die as soon as possible. I'll take care of the rest."
"promise."
The Snow God bowed and slowly retreated into the space gate.
Everyone knows that the Nine Nether Saint King is terrifyingly powerful.
But the most terrifying thing about the Nine Nether Saint King is not his unfathomable cultivation and combat power, but his ability to influence the underworld, recall the true spirits of the dead, and thus interfere with reincarnation.
Since Tianque, this has been something that even the Taoist Ancestor could not do. It can be said that his means are omnipotent.

After crossing the space portal, Shen Qing stood on an unfamiliar long street.
It was already night, the figures were fading, and the moon was high in the sky.
After calming herself down, Shen Qing let out a long sigh. No matter what, it was a good thing that the Saint King Jiuyou did not attack her directly.
Looking up at the starry sky above his head, Shen Qing's mood gradually calmed down, and he began to sort out some clues.
After thinking about it, there is only one reason why the Holy King Jiuyou did not attack her directly.
It's simply that the Saint King Jiuyou believes that she will die sooner or later and has already treated her as a dead person. This shows that the time for the Red Blood Melting Star Array to be activated is just around the corner.
In addition to this, there is the Hanhai Star Palace. If we can avoid the Nine Nether Saint King and get in touch with the forces outside the sky, perhaps the situation will take a different turn.
Thinking of this, Shen Qing couldn't help but think of Yang Jiong. As one of the rare masters of formations today, he has the ability to set up a teleportation formation to outer space.
However, this path can only be a decision made out of desperation because the risks are extremely high.
The chaotic universe is too vast. Perhaps after going out, Shen Qing will be lost and may even never be able to turn back in this lifetime.
The best strategy is to kill Jiuyou before the Red Blood Molten Star Array is activated.
After sorting out his thoughts, Shen Qing walked across the long street and returned to the General Zhennan's Mansion after a while.
The guard at the door had obviously received instructions and quickly called a maid and took Shen Qing straight into the main hall of the mansion.
After a cup of tea, Zhao Yingnan slowly walked over and bowed, "I wanted to show my hospitality as a host, but now it seems that I have to postpone it."
He had learned from Beitang Shifeng that Shen Qing would be heading to the Northern Territory tomorrow. Although he was surprised, he did not intend to ask any more questions.
Everyone has secrets, including himself, so there is no need to dig into them.
At least, before the true demise of the Nine Nether Saint King, there is no secret in this world that is more important than killing the Nine Nether Saint King.
"You're welcome, General."
Shen Qing hesitated slightly and asked tentatively: "Can I take another look at Miss Ling?"
She had not yet determined when she would return from the Northern Territory, and she wanted to take one more look at Zhao Yu.
Shen Qing had never doubted the theory of reincarnation, but what puzzled her was that no matter which era, Zhao Yu would always appear by her side inexplicably.
All causes and effects have their conclusions. Shen Qing believes in reincarnation, but he does not believe in the word coincidence.
Everything in the world has its own trajectory, and everything that happens can be traced. There is no coincidence.
There must be a special connection between her and Zhao Yu that she has not yet discovered.
It comes from the past, but for her, perhaps it is in the future.
Zhao Yingnan did not refuse Shen Qing's request. He also noticed Zhao Yu's abnormality after seeing Shen Qing.
Judging from Shen Qing's current performance, this abnormality is obviously not as simple as just getting along.
But he was not sure what the secret was.
Zhao Yingnan led Shen Qing into the back house and walked forward to a side room.
