NOVEL NEXT Chapter 326: Quite Interesting
"Black Abyss. You speak in such a shrouded manner; what exactly are you trying to say?" The head stared at a shadow, coldly demanding, "My soul fragment disappeared too quickly; it couldn't send any message. How is it that you seem to know something?"
Another figure was also silently looking at Black Abyss.
Black Abyss laughed slightly, a black bottle appeared in his hand.
The moment this bottle appeared, the other two figures immediately backed away.
The head screamed on the spot, "Black Abyss! What do you intend to do by taking out the True Demon Bottle? Half of the Immortal Domain has already fallen into the Demon Domain; do you still wish to claim this half? I tell you, that's impossible! You can't monopolize all the benefits."
With a smile, Black Abyss said, "What's the rush? Half of the Demon Domain is already enough for me. Once I allow the Demon Clan to procreate for a few more years, I'll be able to devour them to regain my strength for my return to the Divine Realm. Those who have been suppressed by us for so many years are now thoroughly uncontrollable, all stirred up by the wings of a butterfly. They too will return to the Divine Realm soon. Those events from tens of thousands of years ago will probably have to be sorted out again. However foolish I may be, I wouldn't dare confront them all on my own. The three of us have long been one entity."
This speech successfully persuaded the other two.
The three figures gathered together once more.
Black Abyss said solemnly, "I've summoned you here because a soul fragment of the True Demon Bottle that I left in the Lower Realm has sent up some fragmented images before it shattered."
With a slight gesture from Black Abyss, the figure of a woman, slightly indistinct, appeared in the void.
The woman's face was unclear, but with her own strength alone, she managed to suppress the outburst from the Demon Pool.
And the Spirit Beasts at her side were equally terrifying—one Spirit Beast could amplify strength, while another could purify all things, even purifying the Demon Pool.
In a calm voice, Black Abyss said, "As you know, this True Demon Bottle has gathered the most vile energy I have collected over countless years. This kind of energy is so evil that it theoretically cannot be purified and can only be destroyed by a far superior force. The main body of my True Demon Bottle, which I brought from the Divine Realm, is of a divine level, hence in the Immortal World, naturally no one can destroy it. The soul fragment of the True Demon Bottle is also at the pinnacle of strength in the Human Realm. To destroy the True Demon Bottle, one can only hope to do so at its weakest moment when it first arrives in the Lower Realm, by gathering the peak powers of the Human Realm for an all-out strike. Once it forms the Demon Pool, even the combined mana of all the cultivators in the Human Realm will no longer be able to obliterate it. That woman named Shi Nian is indeed a rare talent, but the limit of her power cannot surpass the ultimate boundary of the Human Realm, so she originally would not have been able to destroy the Demon Pool. It just so happens, by an odd twist of fate, she possesses a Spirit Beast capable of purification."
"This power of purification can even cleanse the Demon Pool. And to make things worse, there is another Spirit Beast that can enhance power. Together, they brought about this result."
"Don't you think all of this is far too coincidental?"
Black Abyss's voice came slowly.
The faces of the head and the other figure changed repeatedly.
"Xuan Mie, although you have already taken control of the Heavenly Dao, this girl seems more like a child of destiny than the ones you've sheltered. Have you not realized something?"
The color of the head's face subtly shifted.
To be immune to the control of the Heavenly Dao and yet draw fortune to oneself could only mean...
"Are you suggesting she is..." The head seemed to realize something, its expression suddenly filled with a trace of fear.
It recalled the supreme Heavenly Dao that towered above the Divine Realm, maintaining the operation of all worlds.
Only a higher layer of Heavenly Dao could be unaffected by the influence of the lower Heavenly Daos.
This woman... could she be the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao of the Divine Realm?
"Most likely so," Black Abyss said calmly. "You should have sensed it as well. Those individuals have completely broken free from our control. Then who has lent them a helping hand? Who possesses the power to contend with the might of three divine beings all by one's self?"
"If it really is her... are we not doomed?" A hint of fear flashed through the pupil of the head.
It could not forget the thunder that razed heaven and earth to the ground.
At that time, it thought it possessed the power to defy all, yet just one bolt of thunder struck it down from the Divine Realm, nearly obliterating both body and Divine Soul. If such thunder struck again, even if it proclaimed itself as the Thunder God, it would not be able to withstand it.
"What is there to fear?" Black Abyss said with a stern face: "If she could have easily eliminated us, we would have been gone many tens of thousands of years ago. This shows that she too is bound by certain restrictions. Therefore, even if it is truly her, she can only incarnate as a human and, with a human body, plan the salvation of the world."
"That's true," said Li Ye, who spoke the least, in a slow voice: "If she is an incarnation of the Heavenly Dao, then she cannot be killed or destroyed. Even if we are unwilling, we can only watch as she steadily climbs to the pinnacle. By then, we will still be unable to escape death."
The scene fell into silence.
They were once at the very top of the Three Realms, and other than them, there were only nine divine beings with the power to destroy heaven and earth.
In theory, they had nothing to be dissatisfied with.
But above them, there was the Heavenly Dao, high above all.
The Heavenly Dao established rules that all beings between heaven and earth must abide by, and they, these divine beings, were no exception.
They could not harm the weak at will, and they had to bestow benevolence upon the Three Realms at set times; they possessed power, but it was a power that came with restrictions.
They were so powerful, yet why should they protect those weak creatures?
Those weak beings should be utterly destroyed, shouldn't they?
Thus, the three of them conspired for many years, wanting to break free from the shackles of the Heavenly Dao.
As a result, they were struck down from the Divine Realm by several bolts of lightning, and to this day, their mana has not recovered.
Looking back now, they also vaguely regret it; if it were not for that moment of folly, they would still be the supreme divine beings worshipped and adored by all beings, not like they are now, despised by everyone.
But once the arrow is shot, there's no turning back; they have already lost their way out.
Black Abyss said in a deep voice: "Since the Heavenly Dao of the Immortal World can be devoured and occupied, then why can't the Heavenly Dao of the Divine Realm be too? Now that she has descended to the Human Clan as a mortal, the Divine Realm must be undefended. If we can return to the Divine Realm and occupy the Heavenly Dao of the Divine Realm at the first moment, what is there to fear from an old Heavenly Dao by then? We will be the new rulers over the three thousand worlds."
Xuan Mie and Li Ye's eyes both lit up.
Indeed, this is also a method.
But then the problem arises again.
Right now, they simply cannot return to the Divine Realm.
How are they to occupy the Heavenly Dao of the Divine Realm?
Yet Black Abyss seemed to have already thought of something.
He said softly: "Returning to the Divine Realm is indeed extremely difficult, but what if she helps us?"
The head couldn't help but laugh: "Are you mad? How would she assist us?"
"No, she will," Black Abyss said firmly, looking at the head: "Xuan Mie, you are already a part of the Heavenly Dao in your own right. Although you are bound at this moment, altering a bit of fate should still be a piece of cake. How about this, let me give you a few scripts."
He lifted his hand, and a massive amount of information was instantaneously transmitted to the head.
The head's eyes flickered slightly, and a hint of a smile appeared on his lips.
This is actually…
Quite interesting.
