Chapter 2182: Chapter 728: The Mastermind (2)

Even the patterns above are almost identical.

It records the ancient myth of Pangu born from a dragon egg, then creating Heaven and Earth, with his limbs and bones transforming into the twelve Ancient Giant Gods, and his blood becoming the Nine Dragon Sons.

However, the illustrations are more exquisite, more mysterious, with every stroke imbued with powerful Heavenly Rules Power, capturing the divine essence of the Twelve Ancestor Gods and the Nine Dragon Sons.

And above the Twelve Ancestor Gods, there is a blank space, as if something is missing, giving a sense of incompleteness.

Shen Bore looked and said, "I predict she won’t care about the gods’ allied forces attacking the Netherworld. This woman is currently inside the Human Clan’s Emperor’s Tomb, cooperating with several Human Clan sorcerers to set up formations."

"Setting up formations?"

Yin God Yue Xi’s voice showed doubt: "Setting up formations inside the Emperor’s Tomb? What are they up to?"

Shen Bore continued to focus on the illustration, replying carelessly: "If I’m not mistaken, Chu Xisheng intends to trade out the corpses and True Spirits of several Heavenly Emperors from the seal."

"Trading their corpses and True Spirits?"

Yin God Yue Xi’s heart quivered, her voice trembling slightly as she spoke again: "Are you really just going to watch?"

Once those Human Clan’s Emperors’ True Spirits escape the seal, it means they could return at any time.

Those Human Clan’s Emperors possess power comparable to the Ancestor Gods.

However, Yin God Yue Xi quickly regained her composure.

Even if they escape, it would probably be too late.

The outcome between Chaos Gods, Pangu Gods, and the Human Clan, the sovereign of this world, will likely be decided within a few years.

The Human Clan wouldn’t have enough resources to restore them quickly.

"Why stop it? Si Huangquan is the Lord of the Netherworld; she can do whatever she wants there, why should we impede?"

Shen Bore spoke while rubbing his aching brow.

He and Blood Sea Elder wanted to use Si Huangquan’s identity as Lord of the Netherworld to bind her and draw in the Human Clan’s strength.

Unfortunately, Chu Xisheng was slippery and never fell for it.

For now, they couldn’t reverse their stance.

Blood Sea Elder must rely on Si Huangquan’s power to seal the Netherworld and combat the Water God.

"But since it’s a trade, there must be corresponding equivalent items. They won’t likely accomplish this quickly."

Shen Bore was interested in Fang Bu Yuan’s ’Ten Thousand Change’ technique.

’Ten Thousand Change’ and his ’Heaven Replacement’, along with the Insect Race’s ’Dai Tian,’ have certain similarities, an uncanny resemblance.

However, the ’Ten Thousand Change’ technique requires no payment since the price is borne by the traded item.

The Heaven Replacement technique seems magical, but each replacement heavily damages Shen Bore himself.

Previously, the ’Ten Thousand Change’ technique was only outer-layer Heavenly Rules Power, seen as inconsequential by the gods.

Trading mostly occurred on the Divine Continent.

Among the various sections of Central Earth’s Giant Spirit, trading was also rare.

However, now this dharma gate has prominently surfaced and reached the third layer of the Heavenly Dao.

"Corresponding equivalent items?"

Yin God Yue Xi was thoughtful.

She totally relaxed.

Those individuals possess power comparable to the Ancestor Gods, Chu Xisheng surely wouldn’t seek Ancestor Gods’ corpses for exchange.

"Well, take care of yourself. Over the next period, I might not be able to contact you."

Shen Bore was surprised: "Is something happening?"

"To counter the Northern Ice Disaster, She Yuan plans to let Fire God Yanrong’s young offspring, ’Divine Red Wheel,’ temporarily replace the Sun, illuminating the four realms of Central Earth, three million miles around."

"Divine Red Wheel? Chilun Star Lord?"

Shen Bore laughed: "She Yuan is killing multiple birds with one stone. He sees clearly that it’s those hopelessly creative Ancestor Gods like Yanrong that he can truly rely on as allies."

Yin God Yue Xi did not respond; her light swiftly traversed the infinite dark void.

She Yuan’s command to let ’Divine Red Wheel’ replace the Sun clearly harbors malice.

She currently faces the Yin Yang Inversion, indeed powerless against it.

Yet, Yin God Yue Xi wasn’t worried at all.

Everything occurring was within her expectations.

Shen Bore continued studying the stone pillar in front of him.

After Yin God Yue Xi’s moonlight departed, Shen Bore suddenly flicked several drops of golden Divine Blood toward the stone pillar.

As this Divine Blood merged with the stone pillar, the blank space in the final illustration began to reveal strands of patterns, making the picture perfect.

It was a huge hand covering above the Twelve Ancestor Gods; its bent fingers shaped to grasp downwards.

Compared to this giant hand, whether the Twelve Ancestor Gods, Nine Dragon Sons, or even Pangu’s remains, all appeared extremely tiny.

Shen Bore stared at the giant hand, he felt chilling fear spreading throughout his body, a sense of extreme terror arising.

Yet this fear didn’t come from himself, but from Yu Jia—the Yeen Dragon and Phoenix Ancestor whose body he possessed.

Yu Jia’s body was astonished by the hand on the stele.

Shen Bore looked at the hand as though it were his mortal enemy, his eyes red with intense hatred.

※※※※

Chu Xisheng learned about the gods’ discussion in Taiyin Palace only moments after Shen Bore.

The information he received from Shen Puzhao was even more detailed than that conveyed by Yin God Yue Xi to Shen Bore.

Not only did he learn about She Yuan commanding the Wood God to attack the Netherworld and letting Divine Red Wheel replace the Sun, but he also learned of various tactics She Yuan was preparing to use on the Divine Continent.

At the same time, Shen Puzhao, arriving as transforming light, brought him a dark golden arrow.

Upon seeing the golden arrow, Chu Yunyun guessed which person passed the message to Chu Xisheng.

"Is this the ’Divine Erasure Arrow’ Gongshen Tianyi used to shoot down the Great Sun?"

The Divine Erasure Arrow is said to have been crafted by Gongshen Tianyi 1.2 million years ago with assistance from Water God Tiangong and Fire God Yanrong, and White Emperor Bai’s unparalleled Sword Intent fused within it. Only twelve arrows were forged.

This was originally intended as a means against the Yang God.

Unfortunately, the Yang God acted cautiously, and Gongshen Tianyi never found an opportunity to shoot the Sun.

However, later during the struggle of Ten Suns, Gongshen Tianyi managed to wield the ’Divine Erasure Arrow’ effectively.

After Gongshen Tianyi died, the remaining two ’Divine Erasure Arrows’ he held vanished.

Yet, ’Bow God’ Tian Yi not only used nine arrows to shoot down nine Suns.

One arrow missed, remaining in someone’s possession.

But Chu Yunyun was curious: "This really offends the Fire God and Void God deeply, doesn’t he fear them?"

After all, among the gods, everyone knew that guy had a ’Divine Erasure Arrow.’

"Since he gave me this arrow, he surely has a way to handle retribution from the Fire God and Void God."

Chu Xisheng chuckled: "I suspect the remaining two arrows are also in his possession, perhaps this arrow came from his mother. But anyway, I owe him a favor. If he acts in future, you and I might exert extra effort."

After speaking, Chu Xisheng flicked the arrow in a certain direction.

He continued, at an unhurried pace, transforming light to illuminate the Divine Continent, continuing his Eternal Secret Ceremony.

Chu Xisheng wasn’t keen on prematurely generating Source Quality; he wished to reshape the Vengeance, Ruyi, and Chaos Heavenly Rules into what he desired before generating the Source Quality.

Otherwise, even after generating it, he’d need to fix and correct it, wasting much time.

Yet, as the three Heavenly Rules strengthened continuously, Chu Xisheng’s body started producing significant Source Quality.

This was a reward from the Heavenly Dao.

As for the war about to erupt in the Netherworld, that was the matter of Chaos Gods, nothing of his concern.

If the Netherworld couldn’t withstand it, at most he’d have Si Huangquan withdraw.

Si Huangquan had already established herself eternally with the Lord of the Netherworld identity; she had received her benefits.

Regarding the Human Clan’s Emperor, if this trade succeeded, all the better; if not, they could wait for another chance.

Meanwhile, Ji Qianqian, rushing northward, already reached the Extreme East Icefield, suddenly felt something.

Turning around, she picked up that dark golden long arrow.

"Divine Erasure Arrow?"

Ji Qianqian’s spirit lifted, boosting her confidence.
