Chapter 323: Formulating a Plan
"Is it impossible for Jun Heaven and Cangtian to hold a meeting?" Qing Yu asked.
"Jun Heaven is sharpening his sword, hoping that the Sun God of Japan will come to test the blade, Cangtian..."
Bian Tian looked deeply at Qing Yu, as if trying to see through the darkness to discern Qing Yu's true form, "Cangtian has things to attend to and cannot join the meeting."
"Bian Tian, how is the situation in the Western Regions?" You Tian asked.
"The situation is very bad," Bian Tian shook his head with a grim expression, "The Golden Wolf Khan and Mu Cangsheng are engaged in great battle, and the attitude of Nalanda Temple's Fantian is unclear. I had Po Jun Star Lord pretended to open Heavenly Gate Pass, greatly defeating the garrisoned Divine Martial Army, but relying on just the Po Jun Star Lord and his troops alone is powerless to reverse the situation."
The outcome of the battle is already decided, the Golden Wolf Khan is held up, the Cangsheng Sect and Nalanda Temple have betrayed us, and the rest of the grassland's Divine Communication situation isn't faring much better. Even capturing the Heavenly Gate Pass cannot bring about the anticipated chaos in the Western Regions.
"Bian Tian, I have a piece of news for you," You Tian said calmly, "Mu Cangsheng might be the son of Daqian Ancestor, the Old Prince who has long resided in the Daqian Imperial Mausoleum."
"What?"
"Is this true?!"
······
A stone thrown into a thousand waves, the heavyweight news You Tian revealed shocked everyone greatly. Qing Yu also pretended to be one of the surprised, asking You Tian.
"The information is reliable." You Tian nodded in response.
"Ha—"
Bian Tian suddenly realized, saying: "No wonder I always felt something was amiss? Turns out, Mu Cangsheng was waiting for me there. Mu Cangsheng, oh Mu Cangsheng, you really played me well."
This also made this World's Number One Master of Heavenly Mechanism recognize the current situation, his previous ability to amazingly predict events is no longer viable.
Just like during the battle at Divine Capital, Xinyuan calculated everything but did not predict that Xin Wen would die at the hands of an assassin from Doomed Hall, similarly, Bian Tian cannot predict the upcoming changes.
Because the upcoming storms involve stronger, larger people and matters.
"Then..." Bian Tian looked at You Tian, shrouded in shadows, "You Tian, you should have a way to solve our difficulties."
He knows You Tian's identity, and further understands what Mu Cangsheng represents to You Tian. Looking at You Tian's serene demeanor, he likely has a plan against Mu Cangsheng and Daqian.
"There is one way, but it depends on whether everyone is willing to contribute."
You Tian slowly scanned the room and said: "The Prince Shunping of Daqian should not be unfamiliar to those present. Mu Cangsheng is Daqian's Old Ancestor, he will not allow Prince Shunping's ambitions to be realized. So, before Daqian and Cangsheng Sect merge, we should exert force together and split Daqian, creating a scenario of Dividing the World into Three.
Daqian, Northern Zhou, and Prince Shunping, three forces hostile to each other yet mutually restrained, isn't that the best chaotic situation?"
The crowd of Nine Heavens people does not want immediate chaos in the world, they want a gradual process.
The Tribulation Qi is not yet in place, if world chaos depletes it now, it may not only fail to attract the great calamity at the end but also push away the tribulation further.
Therefore, You Tian, also known as Shadow King, his idea is quite well-received by everyone.
"Daqian has been confirmed to be deeply connected with Netherworld Palace, Duke Shenwu is one of the Ten Kings of Netherworld Palace. Everyone think about it, Daqian, Cangsheng Sect, Netherworld Palace, the power of these three merging could dominate the world.
If we do not unite now, we can only wait to be conquered." You Tian continued as he saw some still hesitating.
This is indeed somewhat rash, easy to reveal identities. But You Tian cannot care less about these now.
"You Tian's words are reasonable," Bian Tian said, "According to what I know, King Yanluo of the Fifth Hall of Netherworld is the offspring of Ghost Emperor, he should still be in seclusion refining the Ghost Emperor's Bone. Once he succeeds, the world could see another Supreme warrior.
Mu Cangsheng was able to escape my watch back then, adding a Yanluo King, conquering the world might be exaggerated, but they will surely be the strongest force in the world."
Upon hearing this, the atmosphere became more severe, because everyone thought of the monstrous-like formidable force about to form.
Three forces merging, two Supreme warriors, and at least over twenty Divine Communications, perhaps reaching twenty. Such powerful force, no one is confident they can withstand.
Unless... united.
"Then let's unite," Qing Yu said, "Several thousand years ago, Nine Heavens was established to counter Ten Earth, now time flows, Nine Heavens and Ten Earth are opposed again, clearly the twisting hand of fate.
Only this time, it's possible we are on the path of evil."
Everyone present is plotting a world chaos as villains, regardless of how glamorous the outward identity appears, it cannot change their essence.
Conversely, Ten Earth has instead revised past impressions, becoming the righteous defenders of the world. At least this time the Golden Wolf Han Court invasion was resolved by them.
Mu Cangsheng wants a unified world, naturally intolerant of the Nine Heavens and others' destruction.
"Cluck cluck cluck," Zhu Tianjiao laughed, "Now that's truly interesting. Include me in such an entertaining affair."
"Xuantian's words are mistaken, we are here to save lives, eliminate evil sects and Ghost Dao Netherworld Palace, can this be considered as evil path? I too will join," Yang Tianzhang laughed heartily.
"Victory or defeat, black or white are sung by the winner. Who is right, who is evil, we must claim it ourselves. Haha."
"The planned longevity cannot be ruined by those Ghost Dao rats. Mu Cangsheng wants to seize our longevity, I won't agree."
"Indeed, indeed, Mu Cangsheng seeks to subdue the world, as if dreaming."
Everyone spoke out in succession, expressing their willingness to join.
Mu Cangsheng, being the son of Daqian Ancestor, is not someone who would compromise easily, if he holds the world's strongest force, others will find it hard to rest easy.
Back then, he was severely injured because he wanted to avenge Emperor Daqian Ji Muqing, inciting warfare, leading to serious harm.
For so many years, Mu Cangsheng has painstakingly hidden his identity and established Cangsheng Sect, everyone wouldn't think he merely seeks to play around.
Seeing everyone's stance, Bian Tian also said: "Then let it be decided so. This matter is beneficial to our plans, Jun Heaven should unlikely oppose it. But I still need to ask him."
"How should it be." everyone replied.
Jun Heaven is Nine Heavens' strongest card. Although Elder Shiming was humiliated by Mu Cangsheng, no one would thus think the second of the Heavenly List is not strong enough.
Elder Shiming is a person with a ranking name, but he ranks as such, the world may not be entirely convinced. Sword God, the second on the Heavenly List, is by Elder Shiming's ranking and also carved out by his sword.
