Chapter 2160: Chapter 718: [Part 2]

"It’s now called Chaotian Hou."

Chu Xisheng gently stroked the fur on Chaotian Hou’s neck, his face wearing a half-smile.

He didn’t believe a single word Yiing Gou had said.

These four toward him, Chu Xisheng, toward the Human Clan, truly bear no malice? They merely lack the opportunity to show it.

But since the four of them have yet to reveal any overt evil deeds, Chu Xisheng couldn’t be bothered to fuss with them.

Before being infected by Corpse Poison, Hou Qing, Yiing Gou, and Drought were all Generals before Emperor Xuanhuang, with countless Merits and illustrious battle records.

Even Princess Drought, together with her husband, had contributed enormously to the Human Clan’s northern expedition.

Chu Xisheng still held a great deal of Respect for them.

"Since you’re unwilling to be dogs to a dog, that’s as it should be. Don’t worry, the Sun God Core I promised, and the Yin Yang Inversion, I will see them done."

He gazed off into the distance, his voice unhurried: "Look at this fertile Central Earth, how many of the Human Clan live here? Four hundred billion, or five hundred billion? If I can bring all this under my Dalv’s rule, what would your matter amount to in comparison?"

The Four Great Corpse Ancestors’ expressions grew slightly more solemn at this.

It was exactly as Chu Xisheng said.

At that time, the vast population of Central Earth would certainly be able to provide Chu Xisheng’s Twelve Dragon God Heavenly Guardian with an even more majestic surge of Dragon Energy.

Their loss in the Yin Yang Inversion would be hardly worth mentioning.

If someone had said such words a few years ago, they would never have believed it.

Yet now, this had already become something visible, tangible, with great hope of being realized.

They realized that Chu Xisheng still had two premises: they must pay a price, and they could not play any tricks.

"Oh, right!" Chu Xisheng turned his gaze toward Drought: "I’ve found your husband. He’s currently Sealed away by Water God Tian Gong at the source of the galaxy. I expect I’ll soon have a way to free him, and I hope you husband and wife can be reunited."

—Reunited in a normal way, not like this half-human, half-ghost state.

Drought’s eyes changed slightly, then she drew a deep breath: "Whatever command Your Majesty has, simply give the word."

Chu Xisheng gave a single satisfied nod: "Then what is the situation across Central Earth right now?"

"Those various Giant Spirit tribes are all moving toward the Four Great Divine Mountains and those places of shelter from the cold. Because of Empress Ween’s Precepts, many of them have died from using fire; now they have no choice but to huddle together for warmth and seek the protection of the Four Great Divine Mountains."

The one answering was Hou Qing.

Previously, he and Drought had tried to deceive Chu Xisheng, and he knew he had gravely offended this Vengeful Lord.

He lacked the connections of Yeen Dragon Longkui and Ji Yang, so he conducted affairs with extra diligence and extra Respect.

In the world today, who doesn’t know what kind of temperament this Vengeful Lord has?

He lowered his brows and eyes: "Some of the more powerful tribes received warnings several days ago and have already reached the foothills of the Four Great Divine Mountains."

These Giant Spirits gathering together was the perfect condition for Corpse Poison to erupt.

Back then, Emperor Xuanhuang’s northern expedition army had been nearly wiped out precisely because their troops were all concentrated in dozens of camps.

The toxin of Heavenly Gaze, once it infected, had a period of incubation during which ordinary people found it very hard to detect.

Chu Xisheng shook his head: "That’s not what I’m asking. I’m asking about the Corpse Poison I had you spread earlier."

The situation of the Giant Spirit tribes was already being monitored by Shen Puzhao.

Chu Xisheng understood it even better than Hou Qing.

Only for certain matters, Chu Xisheng worried about startling the snake in the grass, and it was unsuitable to have Shen Puzhao personally investigate.

Shen Puzhao had long been a focus of All Gods’ attention; any action of his beyond the norm would trigger their vigilance.

Hou Qing’s expression tightened: "Void God She Yuan ordered Star Lord Heavenly Stove to oversee Corpse Disaster across the lands. Not long ago, Gouchen Star Monarch descended into the Lower Realm in person with the true bodies of Wenqu, Tan Lang, Mu De, Seven Killings, Fire, and Tian Chan, and even brought the Lord of Ten Thousand Plagues and the Lord of Ten Thousand Plagues’ avatar to investigate the source of the Corpse Poison in detail.

If my guess is right, they should already know that the Positive Corpse Poison currently spreading in Central Earth is something we forged."

In the past, the Four Ancestor Corpses had likewise hated those Eternal Giant Gods because of their own plight.

After they first gained some autonomous ability, they began trying to craft toxins targeting the Giant Spirits.

They had achieved a certain degree of success, but it was far from being as powerful as Heavenly Gaze.

This Corpse Poison could only spread among Low Rank Giant Spirits and was completely useless against those Giant Spirits of Third Grade and above.

When Hou Qing saw that Positive Chaotian Hou in Chu Xisheng’s arms, he immediately realized this Holy Emperor’s sinister intent.

This forged Corpse Poison was only to confuse others; the real killing move would come after the Giant Spirits let down their guard.

Even if the real Corpse Poison erupted in the future, those Gods would not care too much.

"Then where are they now?"

A sharp light flashed in Chu Xisheng’s eyes.

The Chaotian Hou in his arms sensed his intent and let out a hoarse, piercing howl.

Little Flat Head’s spirit also stirred.

For Chu Xisheng to complete the Secret Rite of Vengeance that encompassed the Human and God clans, he had to deliver equal retaliation.

They had come precisely for Gouchen and the others.

For powerful Gods like Gouchen, the chance for their true bodies to descend into the Lower Realm was rare.

"At this moment, they are at the summit of Buzhou Mountain!"

Yiing Gou had also guessed what Chu Xisheng intended to do.

His gaze was complicated, tinged with a bit of admiration: "The four of us can fully assist Your Majesty in storming Buzhou Mountain."

Previously, when they heard Chu Xisheng intended to travel north alone, they had even birthed some thoughts they should not have.

Yet now, they had completely abandoned that idea.

"No need!"

Chu Xisheng shook his head,
