Being blinded by greed for interests!
That was Zhou Bao's assessment of his father-in-law. As the candidate for the Human Emperor of Heaven Realm World, Yan Yuntian held great power in his hands, and his personal interests had long coincided with the interests of Heaven Realm World. Unbelievably, he was secretly in cahoots with the Dark Sect and intended to defect to them at the crucial moment. How silly of him to do so! Zhou Bao had discovered some hints about it when he fought against Dark Sect, but he didn't pay much attention to it at that time. However, as time went on, Zhou Bao finally noticed something was very wrong.
There was certainly no shortage of wise men in the Devil Tribe, so as the Yin and Yang Dust Formation slowly released its power, they must had realized that continuing with the Fierce Owl attacks was akin to a suicide mission. But they persisted with the attack strategy, which clearly indicated that there was something fishy going on.
Generally speaking, the more powerful the Yin and Yang Dust Formation, the more adverse it was to the Devil Tribe, and additionally the Yin and Yang Dust Formation had absorbed the essence and blood of devils.
Why was the Devil Tribe doing this?
There could only be one explanation—they wanted the Yin and Yang Dust Formation to be more powerful, or they wouldn't have sacrificed so many Fierce Owls. This suggested that these damned devils were confident of capturing Heaven Realm World, and could even prevent it from being destroyed, along with the Yin and Yang Dust Formation.
Why was the Devil Tribe so confident when all they had were only several Earthly Immortals?
There could only be one explanation: They had somebody working inside Heaven Realm World.
Moreover, given the particularity of the Yin and Yang Dust Formation, this inside man must have a very special status. Otherwise, it was impossible for the person to be in contact with the Yin and Yang Dust Formation or pose a threat to it.
There were not many people who met the criteria, only three men and a half. Zhou Bao, Fate Creation Boy, Vast Sea Emperor, and Yan Yuntian who was the half.
Combined with some information he received while trying to eliminate the Dark Sect, Zhou Bao was almost certain that the inside person was his father-in-law. To pressure Yan Yuntian, he summoned people to the Human Emperor Palace to discuss the matter, but he did not anticipate the incident that happened.
"Divine Wind Palace's heydays seem to be over!" Wang She sighed, fiddling with a wine glass. The practitioners of all other sects of the Seven-deity Regions did not have a good impression of Divine Wind Palace. Having witnessed its gradual decline from a dominant position, they sighed with emotion.
Don't worry. Even if Divine Wind Palace falls, the Man of Honor, Ji Zhongtang, will be fine! Child-endowing Buddha grinned. Like Zhou Bao, he was also a time traveler, so he didn't share the same feelings about Divine Wind Palace as the other practitioners of the Seven-deity Regions.
"Will Heaven Realm World be fine after settling the issue regarding your father-in-law?" Wang She asked, sipping his wine; at the same time, there was a hint of self-deprecation in his expression.
"Are you kidding? Do you think Heaven Realm World still has a chance to get out of the shadow of the Devil Tribulation?" Zhou Bao smiled bitterly, adding, "Even if my father-in-law had not done that deal, someone else would have done it. If I'm right, he's only the second decoy that the enemy used to catch our eye, and the first one is Dark Sect. I don't fully understand Dark Sect's methods, but I do know that Fate Creation Boy, the Yin and Yang Dust Formation and I will not be able to stop the Devil Tribulation!"
"What!"
Child-endowing Buddha and Wang She were stunned. They did not expect Zhou Bao to be so diffident. As the most powerful man in Heaven Realm World, his thoughts would likely affect other people.
Once people knew that he had such a pessimistic view, there would be widespread panic in Heaven Realm World.
"Don't look at me like that. It's just a hunch, but unfortunately, my hunches about this sort of thing have always been quite accurate!" Zhou Bao's eyes flickered over them, and he continued, "Therefore, I have decided to take good care of the affairs of Wuyang Region. I will bring those who are willing to leave, into Azure Big World and let them practice there!"
"You're saying you will tell them you have a Supreme Fairy Weapon?"
"No, I'll just take them into Azure Big World. I'm going to run it well and at least have my power existing in it!" Zhou Bao answered.
Now Azure Big World was indeed thriving, but it was a world filled with evil beasts. Although Zhou Bao spent a lot of time there, these evil beasts were not peaceful by nature and fights happened periodically. He even secretly encouraged some of the new evil beasts to compete with the original ones of Azure Big World, thus creating a delicate balance. He didn't know if the balance was true or false, but it was better than not doing anything.
It was his Third Primordial Spirit that did it; he didn't have to worry about it. He had practiced his Third Primordial Spirit with heterogeneous things; these included the Infinite Poison Banner containing the Elixir Poison of the Nine-headed Fierce Beast and it was invincible in Azure Big World. Added to the fact that he had the Jade Plate of Fate that was like a plug-in, the situation there had already stabilized. In addition, he had found a huge land area there, which was used as a habitat for the people who would be brought there. In other words, he had already carved out an escape route for his Wuyang Region.
Given that the most powerful man of Heaven Realm World was so pessimistic about the situation, it was proof that it was quite bad now.
"What have you found, Junior Leopard?"
"Not that I've found anything, but I just have a horrible feeling. It's akin to a whim!" Zhou Bao sighed, "I feel that no matter what we do in Heaven Realm World, no matter how hard we try, it will be in vain. After all, there is no way to avoid the Devil Tribulation, even with the Yin and Yang Dust Formation!"
"How could that be?" Wang She said, aghast. He was aware about the hunch. It was a mysterious telepathic connection that was generated when one's cultivation and strength had reached a certain level. And it was very accurate. But no one knew where it came from.
He did not doubt Zhou Bao's whim, but he could not accept what Zhou Bao said."Is this really the end for Heaven Realm World?" he asked.
"Maybe there's a way!" Zhou Bao turned his eyes to Child-endowing Buddha.
"Here it comes!" Child-endowing Buddha said in his heart, with a wry smile. He already had seen it coming, but when Zhou Bao pinned such hopes on him, he was helpless."I can't help. I can't do anything about it. Junior Leopard, don't push me!"
"Eh?" Zhou Bao was startled. He had thought with the help of the Chakra's power, it would be all right even if the Devil Tribulation struck. If the mysterious Chakra was as wonderful as what Child-endowing Buddha said, no matter how many devils came, they would be banished from Heaven Realm World by it.
But Child-endowing Buddha's response surprised him.
Wang She was even more puzzled.
"Hey, what are you talking about?"
Not knowing what they were talking about made Wang She anxious.
"He'll explain it to you. I don't know anything and I won't say anything!" Child-endowing Buddha raised his head and gave Wang She an unintelligible reply. Then he turned into a golden light and left.
"What's wrong with him?"
"It seems to be a little tricky!" Zhou Bao forced a smile and pondered over what Child-endowing Buddha had said for a long while before replying, "He seems to have run into an insurmountable problem!" Then he told Wang She about Child-endowing Buddha and the Chakra of Heaven Realm World.
Wang She was dumbfounded by what he heard.
"He is really amazing. But if that is the case, why did he..."
"That's why I said he seems to have run into an insurmountable problem!" Zhou Bao said, "When he first told me about it, he had a vague feeling that the whole thing seemed to have been a setup. He only entered the game unintentionally and was regarded as a backup, so he was imprisoned in the underground palace of Small Thunder Temple; He will be used by someone when the right time comes. And it looks like the time is now!"
"Then why didn't he just tell me?"
"When he told me about this, it was just his guess. But by now he should have been sure of it and been in contact with somebody. I think he is not allowed to disclose what he knows!"
"You mean those who set up the game have already appeared!"
"Based on his reactions, yes!" Recalling Child-endowing Buddha's helplessness and embarrassment, Zhou Bao couldn't help laughing, "It may not be that bad. Their appearance could help us make some decisions!"
"For example?"
"For example, their target is likely to be the Devil Tribe!"
"Then it's in line with our target?"
"How is that possible? The game has been set up since antiquity times, and more than a million years have passed. Are they targeting only the several Primordial Demons at the Earthly Immortal Realm and a bunch of ineffectual Fierce Owls that have been set upon Heaven Realm World?"
"Do they have targets that are more powerful?"
"For those of antiquity times, the coming Devil Tribulation is nothing. Their ultimate goal cannot be Marquis Wugu and Marquis Zhihai, but should be devils at a higher level. If I'm right, the fall of Heaven Realm World is part of their plan!"
"Are you sure?" Wang She was surprised, but no longer shocked and was very furious.
"Look, what's the most tempting part of Heaven Realm World?" Zhou Bao asked, smiling."The most important thing in Heaven Realm World should be what the Devil Tribe is plotting for. Clearly, it's impossible for the two Primordial Demons to hog it by themselves. If they conquer Heaven Realm World, they will inevitably attract the big shots from the Devil Realm, even those who ruled the Devil Realm, like the Supreme of Demons, the Demon Emperor, or even the Sage of Dark Sect. By then, if Child-endowing Buddha starts the force of the Pulse, all these people will be caught!"
