Chapter 333 – For This Lord, Die

After Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying left the Judgment Divine Palace, a dead silence fell within.

Luo Ruying’s words had thrown the hearts of Tianshu Xiu and the others into turmoil, and they could not calm down for a long time.

Thinking back carefully, they felt more and more that Luo Ruying’s speculation was not without reason.

Since the ancient era, the conflicts and wars of the Six Realms had been unending. However, whenever a war subsided, after a period of time, conflict would erupt again. Although this did not rule out the reason that the world’s order naturally cycled in this way, it also didn’t rule out the possibility that someone was deliberately pushing from behind the scenes!

If this were really the case, who exactly was pushing the conflicts of the Six Realms… And who could possibly have such an ability…

Tianshu Xiu crossed his hands on the table, his expression unprecedentedly serious.

After pondering for a moment, Tianshu Xiu spoke in a stern voice:

“Everyone! Do not reveal what the Luo Shen Empress said today to anyone!”

“This matter is of great importance, concerning the Six Realms!”

“Before it is thoroughly investigated, do not make it public!”

“I will personally verify this matter!”

“Yes!”

The others present also understood the seriousness of the matter and immediately nodded with furrowed brows.

After everyone had left one after another, Tianshu Xiu’s tightly furrowed brows did not relax at all, a faint premonition of disaster in his heart.

Tianshu Xiu turned and left the Judgment Conference Hall, opened a secret passage barrier, and walked into the secret chamber where the Judgment Divine Palace housed its ancient texts.

In the secret chamber stood rows upon rows of bookshelves. The towering bookshelves were comparable to the Tower of Babel, their ends vanishing out of sight. Countless ancient texts were densely piled on the shelves, and the entire secret chamber was like a vast sea of books.

These ancient texts basically all recorded the major events and historical records of the various realms since the ancient era.

Even if it meant searching through every ancient text here, he had to find out if there really was a mastermind pushing the conflicts of the Six Realms, and for what purpose!

……

Divine Realm, Palace of the Gods.

Eight towering Divine Venerable Dharma Bodies appeared in the hazy clouds and mist. Beneath each Dharma Body was a magnificent, golden, and towering divine throne.

The divine thrones were immense and boundless, even large enough to accommodate the body of a thousand-zhang Divine Venerable Dharma Body!

Only one divine throne was missing its figure…

“Poxian is dead.”

The towering figure sitting on the central divine throne suddenly spoke slowly.

The figures on the other thrones were all greatly shocked and let out disbelieving questions.

“Poxian is dead…?!”

“Within the Six Realms, besides us, who else could kill Poxian?”

“Have you forgotten? It seems there really is one person…”

“The Demon Lord!!!”

“……”

The moment the Demon Lord’s title was mentioned, the Palace of the Gods instantly fell into a brief silence.

Over a hundred years ago, the Demon Lord attacked the Divine Realm and fought more than ten Transcendent Immortals in one battle!

Although the Nine Great Divine Venerables did not directly intervene, they all witnessed it.

“If it was the Demon Lord, he would indeed be powerful enough to annihilate Poxian…”

“Why would Poxian provoke the Demon Lord for no reason…?”

“This Lord remembers, didn’t the Demon Lord already leave the Demon Realm and go into seclusion over a hundred years ago?”

“He has returned!”

“The Demon Realm is still under his control!”

“After being gone for over a hundred years, a new Demon Lord hasn’t appeared in the Demon Realm…?”

“Given the chaos of the Demon Realm, a new Demon Lord should have risen to power long ago.”

“There have indeed been those who presumptuously called themselves Demon Lord, but they were all killed by his trusted subordinates.”

“……”

“So why did the Demon Lord attack and kill Poxian?” One of them asked with confusion, and the others all held the same doubt.

“For this, we might have to ask someone.” The Divine Venerable Dharma Body in the center said in a deep voice.

The next second, Jianxin and Xinghuan threw an old man down before the Divine Venerable Dharma Bodies, where he was surrounded by the towering figures.

“Thank you for your trouble, you two. You may leave.”

“Yes! Lord Chuangshen!”

Jianxin and Xinghuan cupped their hands, bowed, and respectfully withdrew from the Palace of the Gods.

“This old slave greets you, my lord Divine Venerables…!”

The old man prostrated himself, his forehead touching the ground, as he spoke respectfully with a trembling voice.

Facing the Eight Great Divine Venerables of the Divine Realm, he was terrified, not even having the courage to look up at them. The invisible, terrifying aura of the Eight Great Divine Venerables had already made his entire body go limp.

“Isn’t this the servant who served by Poxian’s side?”

“Yes, perhaps he knows something.”

“Speak. Why did Poxian go and provoke the Demon Lord?”

“What do you know?”

“Reporting to you, my lord Divine Venerables, this old slave only knows that Lord Poxian seemed to have always wanted to snatch the Demon Lord’s child. I know nothing else…” The old man replied, trembling.

The moment these words were spoken, everyone was greatly shocked.

“The Demon Lord’s child…?!”

“He has a child?!”

“What’s so strange about that? Doesn’t Poxian also have a child?”

“The key is why Poxian wanted to snatch the Demon Lord’s child.”

“Exactly. He’s someone who doesn’t even care about his own child, yet he was concerned about someone else’s child, even losing his life for it. This is a bit too laughable.”

Chuangshen, unlike the others, did not feel shocked or offer sarcastic remarks, but instead continued to ask:

“Whose child is it, the Demon Lord’s and who else’s?”

“This old slave has heard that it seems to be a child born of the Demon Lord and a woman from the Heavenly Realm’s Luo Shen Palace…”

The old man replied honestly, not daring to hide a single detail.

Hearing this, everyone present was once again shocked and unsettled. However, this time, no one spoke again, instead choosing silence. The old man had no idea what had happened or why the Divine Venerables had suddenly stopped talking…

“Luo Shen Palace…”

“This is truly a coincidence…”

“Tens of thousands of years, and to think that the Luo Shen Palace, without the Luo Shen, still exists…”

“To think, back then, the Luo Shen was one of us Nine Great Divine Venerables~”

“Truly a pity…”

“Let’s not speak of the past again.”

“The Demon Lord and a woman from the Luo Shen Palace have a child. This has never happened between the Immortal and Demon clans since ancient times…!”

“Could it be that child is…” One of them speculated.

However, before he could finish, another interrupted:

“Hmph! That’s just an unrealistic rumor passed down from the ancient era!”

“Only Poxian would be foolish enough to believe it, throwing away his cultivation of tens of thousands of years for nothing!”

After this person spoke, the atmosphere once again fell into silence. What everyone present was thinking, only they themselves knew…

The old man had no idea what they were talking about, and he did not dare to ask.

“Lord Chuangshen, since the Demon Lord has returned, should the ‘Divine Revelation’ plan continue?”

After a period of silence, the group, in tacit agreement, skipped over the matter of the child and asked the one called Chuangshen.

The others also shifted their gazes to him, awaiting his answer.

“It matters not. The Divine Revelation plan will continue as usual.”

After a moment of silence, the Divine Venerable known as Chuangshen said calmly.

Receiving an affirmative answer, the others said no more. The several-thousand-zhang-tall Divine Venerable Dharma Bodies faded and dissipated one by one, leaving the Palace of the Gods. They were all merely phantoms; their true bodies were hidden elsewhere.

“You’ve worked hard.” Chuangshen said calmly, looking down at the prostrated old man.

“To be able to serve you, my lord Divine Venerables, is this old slave’s honor!”

“Lord Poxian is no longer here. This old slave is willing to serve Lord Chuangshen with all my heart and soul!”

The old man hurriedly kowtowed to express his loyalty.

“You are willing to do anything?” Chuangshen asked.

“As long as it is Lord Chuangshen’s request, this old slave is willing!”

“Very good~”

“Then, for this Lord’s sake, die.”

“Eh…?”

The old man, for a moment, thought he had misheard and looked up at Chuangshen in terror.

The palm of Chuangshen’s Divine Venerable Dharma Body squeezed gently, and the old man was instantly turned to ash, his soul scattered!

He didn’t even let out a single tragic scream!

A half-step Transcendent Immortal had thus fallen!

In the empty and desolate Palace of the Gods, only a soft murmur from Chuangshen remained:

“The child of an Immortal and a Demon…”
