Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming - Chapter 1039 - 1033: The Ghost Ancestor's Scheme, the Demon Kings' Temptation
Upon hearing this, all the Immortals immediately became interested and asked, “What plans does the Ghost Ancestor have?”
The Ghost Ancestor’s expression was cold and stern: “Now, both the Light God Realm and the Wizard Great World have sent a Creation Strong Expert to the Natural Divine Realm, which means they have one less strong expert guarding their Realms!
Although each of their Realms surely still has strong experts stationed, they think we are at a disadvantage on the main battlefield and certainly don’t dare to divert forces to multiple locations, nor will they attack their headquarters.
Unfortunately, they don’t know that this is exactly what I am best at!”
Upon hearing this, all the Immortals were shocked in spirit.
They immediately thought of the period of the Ancient Great Tribulation, during which this Ghost Ancestor had counterattacked into the Netherworld Ghost World at a critical moment in the battle, turning the Netherworld upside down, causing countless deaths and injuries, and even intercepting part of the Netherworld’s Qi Fortune, thereby returning to Biluo under the pursuit of many Ghost Emperors.
Since then, the Ghost Realm has quieted down significantly. Although the war against Biluo has not ceased, they no longer dare to send a large number of strong experts into Biluo, focusing instead on defense, fearing another invasion by the Ghost Ancestor or other Biluo Creation Powers.
After all, even if they could eventually occupy Biluo, if they were to be seen by a crazed Biluo Great Power as unable to win, another counterattack on the Netherworld could very well destroy their world in the flames of war.
However, not all Immortals among them were as enterprising as the Ghost Ancestor. The Heavenly Mechanism Elder, who had cultivated for countless years and always acted with thorough planning, slightly frowned upon hearing this and, after pondering for a moment, said, “The Ghost Ancestor is powerful and heroic, and we admire him, but it’s not that I am afraid of war; it’s just that the current situation is very different from how it was back then!
Both the Light God Realm and the Wizard Great World are vastly different from the Netherworld Ghost World.
I am aware of the Ghost Ancestor’s counterattack on the Netherworld Great World in the past. However, back then, you were unrestrained in the Netherworld and even managed to usurp part of the Netherworld Heavenly Dao’s authority, thereby gaining recognition from the Netherworld Ghost World, and only then could you cause such mayhem.
But the Laws of the Light God Realm are too pure; not even the Ghost Ancestor, nor any of us, can unleash our full power inside it due to immense suppression.
Although the Wizard Great World does not have such pure Laws as the Light God Realm, they pursue different directions than we do, and entering there would also impose huge limitations, making it unlikely we can gain much with just our current numbers!”
“That may not be the case!”
The Ghost Ancestor glanced at the Heavenly Mechanism Elder and, taking no offense at the opposing view, spoke matter-of-factly: “Though these two Great Worlds indeed exert strong suppression, we are not completely without opportunities.
Furthermore, our incursion is not to occupy their worlds. With our current forces, we couldn’t possibly hold such vast worlds anyway. The aim is simply to invade, causing chaos, creating concerns for them, and preventing them from going all-out on the front line, thereby forcing them to recall their strong experts to guard their world, thus easing the pressure on the front line!”
“Even so, it would still be fraught with dangers!”
“So what!”
The Ghost Ancestor slightly squinted his eyes, his words full of endless killing intent: “Back when I delved deeply into the Netherworld, waging war across the Ghost Realm, I had no fear whatsoever. And now, it is merely a different battleground, a world filled with countless lives, compared to the crises of Ancient Times, what is this little peril?
Heavenly Mechanism Daoist Fellow, your achievements in the Dao of Heavenly Mechanism Calculation surpass mine by far, but now with Biluo at the brink of a great catastrophe, how can we afford to worry about so much? If every action is approached with hesitation, how can anything be accomplished?
I have made up my mind: taking some risks for Biluo is worth it. Besides, in war, who can expect no casualties? We can’t always assume we’ll receive all benefits at no cost whatsoever, right?
If we wish to win this war, you must be prepared for the sacrifice!”
“Since the Ghost Ancestor has said this, how can I cling to this life!”
The Heavenly Mechanism Elder saluted and said, “If there are any orders from the Ghost Ancestor, please issue them. I am not merely a master of heavenly mechanism calculations; I am not a stranger to warfare, having experienced battles since the Ancient Great Tribulation and in recent years across the Ten Thousand Worlds, never fearing any strong enemy!”
“Good!”
The Ghost Ancestor laughed heartily upon hearing this: “This is the spirit one would expect from a Biluo Cultivator. However, there is no need for the Heavenly Mechanism Daoist Fellow to risk his life just yet. First, assist me in planning the next steps before proceeding!”
“What does the Ghost Ancestor intend?”
“I want you and several other Daoist Fellows to consider how we can let the Three Worlds of the Dark Camp become aware of the details of the Natural Divine Realm, Light God Realm, and Wizard Great World, enticing them to develop a covetous desire for this Great World!”
The Ghost Ancestor’s face showed a cold expression: “Since an internal conflict has arisen in the Natural Divine Realm due to us, it won’t end in the short term.
I believe the Demon Kings of the Dark Camp will be reluctant to launch a large-scale attack at this time to help the Nature Divine System resolve its internal strife, thus we’ll find a way to focus their attention on the Light God Realm and Wizard Great World instead!
Currently, there is only one or two Creation Strong Experts stationed in both the Wizard Realm and Light Realm. Given their endless enmity with the Dark Camp over countless eras, once they see a chance for retaliation, they most likely won’t be able to resist taking action.
Especially the strong Abyss Lord of the 898th layer, who was burned by the Holy Fire for a hundred days during an invasion of the Abyss by the Light God Realm. Those feelings must still be fresh in his memory, never forgotten to this day.
Although Abyss Lords rarely initiate invasions of other worlds, it is not impossible for them to leave the Abyss. If he can bring benefits to the Abyss through invading other worlds, he will likewise receive more attention from the Abyss Will, thus gaining advantage!
And then there’s the seventh Great Lord of Hell. It’s said that in his early years of traveling the realms, he was captured by a line of Black Wizards for hundreds of years of research. If it weren’t for a moment of carelessness during an experiment that allowed him to escape, he might still be hanging in a Wizard’s lab as a specimen!
Hehe, these are just a few typical guys; other powerful Demon Kings in these Great Worlds also bear slow-burning grievances. I want you to find ways to stir the resentment in their hearts, ignite their fury, and attack those two Great Worlds!”
Speaking up to this point, the Ghost Ancestor’s expression became even more vicious: “Whether we initiate the attack first or the Demon King Lords of the Dark Camp strike first, it will undoubtedly leave the two Great Worlds overwhelmed.
Of course, if possible, it would be best to let them take the lead for us, drawing the attention of the strong defenders in those two worlds so that we can hide in the shadows and deliver a fatal blow.”
“…”
The Heavenly Mechanism Elder and other Great Powers skilled in Prediction Calculation glanced at each other, mentally calculating for a moment, and finally nodded in unison: “Rest assured, Ghost Ancestor, we will not fail in our task. We will definitely spread these messages and stir up the greed in those Demon Kings’ hearts.
However, exactly how many Demon Kings will take heed, and how many powerful Demon Kings will be willing to risk a far-off expedition, is something we cannot determine!”
“No matter!”
The Ghost Ancestor waved his hand grandly: “Just try your best. Whether or not they take action, we will proceed according to plan, but don’t overestimate the nature of those Demon Kings. They are, after all, strong beings who have grown up in a dark and cruel environment, with vicious and ruthless characters. Once they seize an opportunity and see benefits, who wouldn’t be tempted?
The only concern now is that they might not be willing to venture out before tasting the benefits. If necessary, we can lead the charge ourselves, let them see how much benefit invading these Great Worlds can yield. I refuse to believe that by then they would still sit idly by!”
“Rest assured, Ghost Ancestor. Leave the planning of this matter to us!”
“Good, in that case, we should first leave this place to avoid detection by the strong members of the Nature God System. We will discuss the specifics once we are out of here!”
“As you command, Ghost Ancestor!”
A group of Immortal Great Powers promptly bowed and quickly departed under the Ghost Ancestor’s lead.
With their departure, the temporarily opened space gradually dissipated without leaving a trace!
……
The Dark Camp’s three Great Worlds have been somewhat eerie in recent years.
Although the middle and lower tiers continue their incessant disputes and battles, the upper echelon, those powerful Demon Gods, have fallen into a strange tranquility, uncharacteristically avoiding direct confrontations or erupting into various conflicts.
In fact, numerous powerful Great Lords, Great Demon Kings, and Great Lords have been frequently dispatching envoys to visit various Demon King territories.
And the news recently brought back by a few Demon Gods who ventured outside has been spreading wildly across the three Great Worlds of the Dark Camp, stirring countless powerful Demons into motion, awakening endless greed within the depths of their hearts!
However, none of those who can become Great Demon Kings and Great Lords are without brains!
Any Great Demon King who can dominate an area not only possesses overwhelming strength but also a cunning and deceitful nature. It’s just that by this stage, they rarely employ scheming techniques against others, as their strength allows them to crush all easily.
However, it depends on who the opponent is.
If they are to confront a Great World, careful planning is essential, otherwise, a small misstep might lead to some loss, but losing their lives would be a major problem.
So, even though these Demon Kings usually appear imperious and unrivaled, when it comes to battling strong opponents of the same realm, they reveal their most insidious side, sometimes employing any means necessary for victory.
Yet this insidious nature also makes them consider matters more thoroughly in many situations.
For instance, now, even knowing those messages are likely true, the vast majority of Great Demon Kings and Great Lords still haven’t acted immediately. Instead, they choose to send capable subordinates to investigate or instigate certain Demon Kings with the deepest grudges against those two Great Worlds to attack first.
They need to see how those two Great Worlds will react. If it is indeed as rumored, they would then go forth in full force when there’s a clear advantage to be had!
As for the fate of those Demon Kings who attacked first, they do not care much.
Even if they truly fall into the opponent’s trap and die in those two Great Worlds, so be it. After all, it’s not them who perish, and they might even feel fortunate they did not fall for the deceit initially.
However, if they truly can gain an advantage, they will immediately reveal their most ferocious side, attacking with the utmost savagery to reap maximum benefits and gain the upper hand.
If possible, they would even want to seize the Origin Cores of other Great Worlds, transforming the Demon Realm, Hell, and Abyss into a stronger state, thus achieving an immortal Demon Body!
