Chapter 999 - 84: She’s a Genius, So What Am I?

Chapter 999: Chapter 84: She’s a Genius, So What Am I?

He was dressed in crimson, wild and unrestrained, with a beauty that rendered him indistinguishable between male and female, yet the heroic spirit between his brows deterred any thoughts of desecration. Every movement was brimming with charisma, marking him as the new Little Divine Emperor of Huan Yue Domain!

Lu Ye’s words shocked everyone, and countless pairs of eyes fell upon Mu Qingge.

Yet, faced with so many stares, Mu Qingge merely smiled calmly and looked at Lu Ye as though no one else was around, waiting for his next words.

Such composure, such regal demeanor, made one feel that this was precisely how a Little Divine Emperor should be.

On the day when the Huan Yue God Emperor announced this to the Four Seas Divine Land, they all knew that from this day forward, the four Little Divine Emperors of the East Divine Land were complete, and they also realized that the Huan Yue Domain, the leader of the East Divine Land, finally had a Little Divine Emperor again after three thousand years.

What does the Little Divine Emperor represent?

He represents the future Divine Emperor! Not only is he the one most likely to quickly step into the Saint Realm, but he is also the successor chosen by the Divine Emperor.

Such an identity attracts attention no matter where one goes.

"Young Master, he is indeed Mu Qingge!" Amidst the shock, Mu Lin couldn’t help but seek confirmation from Mu Tianyin.

At this moment, Mu Tianyin’s face was already dark and unpleasant, and if his gaze could kill, Mu Qingge might have died countless times already.

The person he most desired, most hated, and most could not tolerate was now right in front of him.

Once, in Cold Inch, he was so lofty. But now? He can only use someone else’s identity, hiding among this group of drunkards and gluttons. And the one whom he looked down upon, whom he bullied in Cold Inch to the point of relying on others to sacrifice for survival, relying on burning longevity to forcibly elevate cultivation to confront him, a lowly Mu Clan bloodline, now possesses such a glamorous identity and so ostentatiously appears here.

Why is Mu Qingge appearing here?

Mu Tianyin didn’t even need to think to know her purpose, just like his own, was for the clues leading to the Lower Volume of Divine Strategy.

But now, what he thinks about is not how to find the Lower Volume of Divine Strategy more quickly. He ponders how to expose Mu Qingge’s identity, making her fall from the enviable Little Divine Emperor to become a remnant of the Mu Clan, facing endless pursuit across the Divine Land.

Mu Tianyin’s features contorted as a grim, chilling smile appeared on his lips.

He thought to himself, ’Mu Qingge, in Cold Inch, you took away my opportunity and nearly destroyed my foundation. Now, you’ve finally reached the Divine Land; why should you live better than I? Possessing an enviable and admirable identity, striding across the Four Seas Divine Land? Now, you come to seize my possessions and... women!’

"Young Master..." Unable to get a response, Mu Lin couldn’t help but call out again.

However, as soon as he spoke, he was stopped by Mu Shan’s gaze. Mu Shan silently shook his head, signaling him to notice Mu Tianyin’s unsettling expression.

At this moment, after a brief silence, whispers began to spread.

They were discussing Mu Qingge who stood beside Princess Chu Nian.

"To think it’s the Little Divine Emperor of Huan Yue Domain!"

"We’ve truly hit the jackpot this time, being able to witness from afar one of the newly popular figures of the Four Seas Divine Land."

"This Little Divine Emperor of Huan Yue Domain, I heard, comes from the Lower Realm and hasn’t been in the Divine Land too long." A person with some inside information began his narration.

"How is that possible?" Some people expressed disbelief.

Indeed, it is hard to believe. How could someone who recently ascended from the Lower Realm climb so quickly to become someone so enviable?

"Don’t be skeptical. I recently returned from the East Divine Land and heard some rumors. If you’re willing to listen, I’ll share them." The insider immediately responded.

"Hurry up and tell us."

"Speak!"

"Quickly, don’t keep us in suspense."

Everyone urged eagerly.

Even Mu Lin and Mu Shan were discreetly eavesdropping while observing Mu Tianyin’s expression.

"I heard, this Little Divine Emperor of Huan Yue is a rare Multiple Spiritual Roots."

"Multiple Spiritual Roots? Isn’t that a Wasted Spiritual Root? Everyone knows, the more Spirit Roots, the harder cultivation is, and the more difficult it is to break through to the next realm."

"Indeed, that’s an eternal truth, but it doesn’t apply to this Little Divine Emperor of Huan Yue." The insider deliberately teased: "Have you heard any rumors about this Little Divine Emperor of Huan Yue Domain?"

"I’ve heard he performed meritoriously for Huan Yue Domain."

"I know that during the recent Four Domain Debate in the East Divine Land, she topped the two rounds, becoming the champion, and even slew the chief disciple of Zhuoyu Domain’s palace, all without incident."

"What! Killing is not allowed in the Four Domain Debate. How did he get away with it?"

"Heh, it’s said that the move he used to kill Yan Quan was the very same one Yan Quan used against him. If his actions were intentionally murderous, then what of Yan Quan’s prior actions? In summary, Yan Quan is dead, and he remains unharmed."

"Yes, I also heard he ascended to the fifty-second step within the Dao Light, setting a record for the Four Seas Divine Land. I truly envy those who bathed in Dao Light with him, each benefited tremendously from his presence!"

"Fifty-second stair! Are you sure you didn’t mishear?"

"No! I was just as astonished when I first heard it."

"Such a monstrous talent?"

"No wonder the Huan Yue God Emperor chose him and established him as the Little Divine Emperor. Indeed, he is a genius among geniuses!"

"What a genius, he’s practically a demon defying the heavens!"

"Haha, what you’ve heard is merely his rise to fame in the Four Seas Divine Land. There are things from earlier you probably aren’t aware of," the one holding back information continued to act mysteriously.

"Spit it out!"

The crowd urged him on.

Mu Lin stole a glance at Mu Tianyin, deeply shocked by the words he heard. If he could hear them, how could their Young Master possibly miss them?

How much does Mu Tianyin hate Mu Qingge?

Everyone in their group knew very well.

They simply didn’t expect that Mu Qingge, their Young Master’s rival from the Lower Realm, could be so formidable. The reports they’ve received had already revealed some things to them, but many matters were still unclear. Listening to these revelations now, Mu Lin was genuinely astounded.

Not only him, but Mu Shan’s eyes also flickered with shock.

As for Mu Tianyin...

His face grew increasingly unsightly, his aura growing more violent. While others discussed Mu Qingge, he stared fixedly at her.

That hatred was almost tangible, transforming into knife-like edges, continuously slicing towards Mu Qingge.

Mu Qingge’s senses were already sharper than most people. Even amid all the gazes on her now, she still felt the two piercing killing intents... and even hatred.

While talking with Lu Ye, she casually glanced around, seeking the murderous gaze.

Effortlessly, she locked eyes with Mu Tianyin’s full of hatred.

’Mu Tianyin!’

Mu Qingge’s clear eyes slightly narrowed, as a storm brewed in her heart.

She was worried about finding Mu Tianyin, yet unexpectedly encountered him here! Judging by his expression, he probably didn’t expect to run into her either.

Yuanyuan’s revenge!

Jiang Li’s vengeance!

The Linglong Spear’s vendetta!

Her personal vendetta!

Today finally brought her face-to-face with the culprit, reigniting hope for retribution.

Mu Qingge’s lips still carried a faint smile, but her eyes turned icy with killing intent. She was even better at concealing emotions compared to Mu Tianyin; her emotional shift didn’t even alert those beside her, Chu Nian and Lu Ye.

Only Yin Chen, connected to her by contract, sensed her change.

’Yin Chen, see that person staring at me over there? Keep an eye on him for me,’ Mu Qingge instructed Yin Chen, then nonchalantly withdrew her gaze.

She was eager to kill Mu Tianyin.

But she knew clearly now wasn’t the right time.

Vengeance must be sought, and the Lower Volume of Divine Strategy must be found. Mu Qingge felt today was her lucky day; if fortune favored her more, years of accumulated hatred and inner knots might be unraveled.

Mu Qingge’s disregard made Mu Tianyin’s face even more terrifying.

His heart roiled with anger. ’How dare this lowly bloodline from the Lower Realm ignore him?’

At that moment, those obnoxious murmurs rang out again—

The one who seemed to know the inside story boastfully said, "I heard that after the Huan Yue Young God Emperor came out of the Ascension Platform, he was discarded by the West Divine Land and North Divine Land due to his Multiple Spiritual Roots, deemed as waste. Eventually, the Yue Domain of East Divine Land accepted him and sent him into the Small Heavenly Domain on an empty ship."

"What! There’s such a thing?"

"Hahaha...Now the West Divine Land and North Divine Land must be embarrassed, eh? Such a demonic genius, unknowingly let off by them, taken by the East Divine Land."

"Indeed! Reportedly, after Huan Yue God Emperor publicly announced it, the two Divine Domains who initially rejected the Young God Emperor deeply regretted it. But that’s not the point. The real point is, this Young God Emperor took a year and a half to emerge from the Small Heavenly Domain with the Seventh Layer cultivation of the Spirit Void Realm."

"What! How could it be? Typically, any Divine ascending from the Lower Realm without the Divine Clan’s cultivation methods, emerging from the Small Heavenly Domain should be at most Second Layer of Spirit Void Realm, right? How could one possess the Seventh Layer cultivation?"

"Yeah! That’s impossible!"

The crowd was astonished.

Mu Lin and Mu Shan were even more stunned. The detailed information on Mu Qingge was unknown to them.

If Mu Qingge could hear now, she might be shocked too. For she might wonder why this person knew such specifics.

But if she knew that the one speaking so confidently had previously encountered someone before arriving in Wuhua Domain, perhaps it’s not surprising.

That person was none other than Tong Teng, who ventured out alone!

"A year and a half, emerging from the Small Heavenly Domain, already at the Seventh Layer of Spirit Void Realm!" Mu Lin exclaimed in wonder, involuntarily glancing at their Young Master.
