Chapter 332 Grand Finale
"You…"
Upon hearing the ominous words, Qin Chuan's pupils shrank sharply.
The origin of his adversary had taken him completely by surprise.
A flaw in the Heavenly Dome Rank?
No wonder Ominous could easily control the remaining body of the Manager and the corresponding authority.
The gods had created the Heavenly Dome Rank, and the flaw was also a part of the Heavenly Dome Rank; this meant that the essence of the other party was on the same level as the Manager, just without the powerful authority granted by the gods.
Now, having obtained most of the Manager's authority and by merging with the perfect body formed by ten Clans, including the Ancestor of the Moon Spirit, the adversary had cast aside the limitation of being intangible.
If Qin Chuan's authority were to fall into his hands, his strength might even surpass that of the former Manager.
Qin Chuan's eyes flickered as he quickly pondered strategies while also secretly communicating with powerhouses like Feng Yin, informing them of the situation here.
After a brief pause, he suddenly spoke.
"The Moon Spirit Clan has survived from the last ten-thousand-year cycle to this one, participating in two racial wars consecutively. That must have something to do with you, doesn't it?"
"The Moon Spirit was not the winner of the last racial war; they were supposed to be annihilated."
"You know quite a bit, and your guess isn't wrong, the Moon Spirit Clan indeed survived to this ten-thousand-year cycle with my help." Ominous chuckled, "But the specifics are probably somewhat different from what you think."
"This is a very old story." A hint of reminiscence flickered in Ominous's eyes.
"My lifespan is the same as that of the Heavenly Dome Rank, I am the most ancient existence within it, but when the Manager was still alive, my power was suppressed to the point of being negligible."
"Pang Jialai was an ambitious fellow, yet under the suppression of the Immortal King, he saw no hope of victory in the racial wars."
"We reached an agreement on a rare opportunity."
"The sudden rise of the Immortal King gave us a glimmer of hope for killing the Manager. Pang Jialai secretly instigated other ancestors to descend, attacking the Immortal King who was ascending to the Second Realm, and also reported to the Manager to spark a conflict between the Immortal King and the Manager."
"Normally, the Immortal King would not have succeeded so easily in killing the Manager, because under the Manager's authority, even the Third Realm was no more than ants."
"However, I covertly took action, using the power I had accumulated over hundreds of thousands of years to temporarily disable the Manager's authority for that instant."
"The Immortal King beheaded the Manager, granting me my freedom, and killing the Manager was a provocation to the gods; the Immortal King was doomed to die without a doubt, and the Immortal Clan would perish along with him, the Moon Spirit would become the true victor."
Ominous's voice echoed in the deathly still Third Rank, with Qin Chuan and Lin Yue's expressions becoming extremely grave.
Even the fall of the Immortal Clan was a scheme by Ominous and the Ancestor of the Moon Spirit?
"This plan was originally perfect, but we calculated everything and didn't anticipate that the Immortal King would dare to draw his sword against the gods," Ominous's voice contained a bit of helplessness, "This truly enraged the gods."
"When the gods rage, countless corpses lie."
"They intended to obliterate all Clans within the Heavenly Dome Rank."
"Even the Heavenly Dome Rank itself was to be completely Shattered by the gods."
He looked at them with a somewhat playful gaze, "Put yourself in their shoes; if you casually caught a few bugs and put them in a cage to watch them fight each other for amusement, but one of the bugs tried to bite you…"
"Wouldn't you smash the cage as well?"
"But the Heavenly Dome Rank still exists," Lin Yue spoke calmly.
"Yes, the Heavenly Dome Rank still exists." Ominous's tone became gentle, "Because at that moment, you suddenly realize that another bug in the cage is very obedient and meek, even capable of following your directions to dance, and this brings you new amusement."
"The Ancestor of the Moon Spirit is that dancing bug."
"The Heavenly Dome Rank is the creation of the gods, I understand the gods' preferences and thoughts; with my suggestion and assistance, Pang Jialai ingratiated himself to the gods in the most humble way."
"The Heavenly Dome Rank was spared, and the Moon Spirit became the only living Clan."
"But they did not receive the gods' smile, just a fleeting chance to cling to life under the gods' leniency."
Qin Chuan fell silent for a moment, then looked at Ominous.
"There are just over two hundred hours left before the racial war ends."
"Once it ends, the gods will descend."
"Aren't you afraid of being annihilated by Them?"
"That you would have such thoughts means you don't understand the gods well enough, which is to be expected." Ominous grinned, "Listen, They don't care what the Heavenly Dome Rank becomes, what your world becomes."
"If the flaw in the Heavenly Dome Rank becomes the new Manager, it is a convenient outcome for Them."
"So, we can actually cooperate." Ominous smiled, "Pang Jialai is dead, and the Moon Spirit Clan has no hope of victory."
"What the Human Race wants is nothing more than victory in this racial war."
"Just hand over the remaining authority of the Manager, and I won't lay a hand on you or the Human Race."
"You will get the victory and also the gods' smile."
"And I will become the new Manager starting from the next ten-thousand-year cycle."
"This is a win-win situation, and all you need to relinquish is something that never belonged to you to begin with."
"Luo, you have enough time to consider before the end of the racial war."
"No need to think about it," Qin Chuan said gravely.
"I refuse."
"That is truly regrettable," Ominous's smile gradually faded, "Since that's the case, you will die by my hand."
"I will take the rest of the Manager's authority from your corpse."
