Book 5: Chapter 209: Sowing Chaos in the Solar Divine Palace
The Supreme Wa died. She died in the hands of someone entirely unexpected.
After the Supreme Singularity drained all of the Supreme Wa’s blood, her body shriveled up.
Gu Hai extended his hand and gently retrieved the Supreme Wa’s body from the cross.
Now, there was no longer any blood. Only a corpse riddled with holes.
Buzz!
After the Universe Cauldron received all of the Supreme Wa’s blood, it flared with dazzling azure light. The eight trigrams gave off an even more dazzling brilliance. Now, the Primal Chaos Universe Furnace became even sturdier. Although Long Zhanguo could be heard smashing his ax into the furnace inside, he could no longer shake the Primal Chaos Universe Furnace.
Gu Hai carefully placed the Supreme Wa’s corpse in a coffin and put it away. Everyone in the surroundings felt like they had just woken up from a dream.
“He really killed the Supreme Wa? The Supreme Wa fell out with everyone in the past because of him!”
“He even sacrificed a woman who gave him her heart to wash himself of the crime? How shameless!”
“Indeed, sovereigns are the most heartless!”
Criticism rang out in the surroundings. Everyone looked at Gu Hai with contempt in their eyes.
The Supreme Singularity looked at Gu Hai with a complicated expression. Now, the Supreme Genesis frowned heavily, getting a bad premonition.
However, Kong Xuan clenched his fist, his eyes dark with confusion. For some reason, he felt some fear at Gu Hai’s heartlessness.
Far away, Long Shenwen and Sima Zongheng goggled at this sight. They had not expected Gu Hai to be so ruthless.
Only Long Shenying’s pupils constricted. He stared at the Immortal Energy around Gu Hai. After killing the Supreme Wa, Gu Hai had plundered all her Immortal Energy. No one else noticed it, but only the Supreme Singularity had more Immortal Energy than him now. Even the Supreme Genesis could not compare.
Gu Hai had already become the second strongest of everyone here without them realizing it.
“Gu Hai?” Long Shenying raised his eyebrows.
After looking at the Primal Chaos Universe Furnace, he looked at the Six Paths Immortal’s eyes in the sky. Then, he gently breathed out.
Suddenly, he bit his finger and drew a circle on his forehead with his blood as he chanted, “Six Paths Immortal!”
When Long Shenying chanted, vast Immortal Energy appeared out of nowhere and filled his body.
“First Crown Prince?” the Qian Nation officials exclaimed with wide eyes.
Betrayal? The first crown prince betrayed His Holy Eminence as well? No!
Boundless despair covered the heavenly court’s cities.
Everyone had betrayed Long Zhanguo. Had Long Zhanguo lost all momentum?
“You!” Long Shenwen raised his eyebrows.
“Second Younger Brother, are you the only one permitted to swear loyalty to the Six Paths Immortal?” Long Shenying sneered.
“Humph! So what if you swear loyalty now? Your name is still on the Rebel Sin Ranking. There are no more opportunities to negate your offenses with contributions!” Long Shenwen said.
Everyone looked at the stele.
Long Shenying’s name was still on the stele, ranked fourth.
However, Gu Hai’s name was also still on the stele, ranked second, although his name had turned significantly fainter.
“Gu Hai, you killed the Supreme Wa? You are truly willing to go to such lengths to live. To think that you could even do such a shameless thing. However, it is still not enough, far from enough. Although your name has faded somewhat, you are still ranked second. You did negate some of your offenses with your contributions, but that amount is insufficient!” the Supreme Genesis sneered.
“Indeed. This small amount of contributions is not sufficient. However, there are more opportunities,” Gu Hai said with a cold smile.
“Huh?” Everyone looked at Gu Hai.
What other ways were there to make contributions at this point?
Gu Hai suddenly looked to the sky. “Reporting to Heaven. Gu Hai feels that while the matter seems settled, Long Zhanguo is not dead yet. He is still in the Primal Chaos Universe Furnace. He might break out at any moment. Before the matter is concluded, everything is possible!”
Heaven’s eyes stared at Gu Hai. Gu Hai had indeed made contributions by killing the Supreme Wa. However, Heaven still kept his guard up against Gu Hai, preventing him from saving Long Zhanguo. As long as Gu Hai dared to attack the Primal Chaos Universe Furnace, Heaven would instantly explode Gu Hai. Now, Gu Hai said that the matter had not been settled yet?
Indeed, this matter was not settled yet. However, Heaven disdained to speak to Gu Hai.
The Supreme Singularity spoke on behalf of Heaven. “Gu Hai, what are you trying to say?”
“I’m saying that anything is possible before Long Zhanguo dies. You alone would not be enough if he escapes the seal,” Gu Hai said.
“What would you do, then?” the Supreme Singularity asked seriously.
“The Immortal Energy that we borrowed from Heaven is too scattered in the end. What if we can gather most of the Immortal Energy into the hands of a few?” Gu Hai suggested gravely.
“Gathered in the hands of a few?” The Supreme Singularity narrowed his eyes.
“Indeed. For example, after I kill the Supreme Genesis, his energy will be added to mine. I will become stronger. When Long Zhanguo comes out, I can assist you in dealing with him,” Gu Hai said with a smile.
“How audacious! How dare you?!” the Supreme Genesis exclaimed.
The Supreme Singularity’s pupils suddenly constricted. Do you want to kill the Supreme Genesis?
“Why wouldn’t I? The Immortal Energy is overly dispersed, not bringing out any effect. Why can’t we gather it? One portion of energy split between two people is too dilute. If it were concentrated in one person instead, its effect would improve manifold,” Gu Hai said with a smile.
“Gu Hai, you are a spy! You are doing this on purpose! You are trying to disrupt our unity, trying to destroy our harmony! You are trying to help Long Zhanguo!” the Supreme Genesis shouted coldly.
“I am helping Long Zhanguo? Hah! Supreme Genesis, I won’t bother calling out who is trying to harm me. Firstly, I am innocent. Secondly, I have Immortal Energy. If I were not truly loyal to Heaven, Heaven could destroy me with a thought, not even sparing my souls. He can explode me; why would I do that? I am afraid of death!” Gu Hai said coldly.
“Heaven can destroy me at any moment. How am I to resist?”
“You!” The Supreme Genesis glared.
“Everything else is not important before killing Long Zhanguo, right? The Supreme Singularity is in charge of trapping and killing Long Zhanguo. We are to assist the Supreme Singularity with our borrowed Immortal Energy from the side. However, you all saw it for yourselves. How strong is Long Zhanguo? Even if we assist from the side, it is insufficient, right? So, we can only strengthen ourselves like this!” As Gu Hai spoke, he raised his Life Executioner Saber.
When Gu Hai swung his saber, a humongous manifested saber immediately swung down on a black angel.
Boom!
Purple light illuminated the surroundings. Before that black angel could cry out, he exploded. Then, the black angel’s Immortal Energy poured into Gu Hai’s body.
The multicolored lights around Gu Hai grew vivider.
“Presumptuous!”
“How audacious!”
“You bastard!”
The angels, the animal spirit kings, the Supreme Genesis, and the others immediately roared in fury. They raised their weapons and stared at Gu Hai, keeping their guard up.
When Gu Hai suddenly attacked, the Supreme Singularity’s expression changed. However, Heaven did not stop this, only watching coldly.
To Heaven, everyone here was an ant. Everyone could die as long as Long Zhanguo died. The lives of anyone here were insignificant.
Anything beneficial towards killing Long Zhanguo was permissible.
Had it been before Gu Hai killed the Supreme Wa, Heaven might not have trusted Gu Hai. However, Heaven had slightly relaxed his guard after Gu Hai made some contributions.
“Eastern Monarch, Gu Hai is being audacious. I am going to kill him!” the Supreme Genesis said coldly.
Right now, the Supreme Singularity was operating the Primal Chaos Universe Furnace and did not interfere, as though giving tacit permission.
The Supreme Genesis stepped forward, encased in the black pillar. A vast aura spread out as he drove the energy of the path of reincarnation, looking like he would kill Gu Hai.
“The energy of the path of reincarnation? Hah! Supreme Genesis, are you truly Long Zhanguo’s spy?” Gu Hai sneered.
“Your glib tongue is of no use. Begging for mercy now is too late!” The Supreme Genesis took another step forward.
“I am saying that every portion of energy meant for dealing with Long Zhanguo is very precious. Immortal Energy? Immortal Energy can be plundered; it can be transferred, so it does not matter even if it is shifted to another. However, the energy of the path of reincarnation is meant for dealing with Long Zhanguo. It is not for you to waste. By using the energy of the path of reincarnation, aren’t you wasting the energy meant for dealing with Long Zhanguo?” Gu Hai shouted.
The Supreme Genesis still did not understand what Gu Hai meant.
Buzz!
Suddenly, the Supreme Genesis’s surroundings trembled. The energy of the path of reincarnation around him got stripped away; Heaven had removed the energy of the path of reincarnation from the Supreme Genesis. The black pillar immediately appeared behind the Supreme Singularity.
It was not just the Supreme Genesis. The black pillar that encased Kong Xuan also got removed, shifting behind the Supreme Singularity.
Gu Hai was right. The energy of the paths of reincarnation was not given to them to waste.
“What?” The Supreme Genesis’s expression changed.
Gu Hai suddenly swung his saber. The Supreme Genesis hurriedly took out a greatsword to meet Gu Hai’s Life Executioner Saber.
Boom!
A loud report rang out as the Supreme Genesis’s greatsword exploded. The clash knocked him back.
Blargh!
The Supreme Genesis spewed a mouthful of blood as he gazed at Gu Hai with horror on his face.
After losing the energy of the path of reincarnation, I am weaker than Gu Hai?
Gu Hai is this strong? Is it the Supreme Wa’s energy? Did he do that on purpose?
“Eastern Monarch! Eastern Monarch! Gu Hai is trying to sow chaos in my Solar Divine Palace!” the Supreme Genesis cried out.
The Supreme Singularity narrowed his eyes at the distant Gu Hai, ignoring the Supreme Genesis. The Six Paths Immortal was heartless, but the Supreme Singularity was extremely callous as well. Gu Hai was right. The Supreme Singularity even went beyond Gu Hai’s words in his mind.
Kill everyone here? What if I gathered all the Immortal Energy in one body? That right! What if everyone died, leaving me alone?
Assistance? The Supreme Singularity did not need assistance. The Supreme Singularity wanted everyone dead to gather all the Immortal Energy in himself. That way, his chances of destroying Long Zhanguo would be better.
He had to do everything possible to kill Long Zhanguo—even sacrificing everyone. Otherwise, if Long Zhanguo could fight back, it would be over for him.
Kill? Killing each other is a good thing.
Gu Hai? No matter how many tricks he has, it will be useless. Aside from the Six Paths Immortal’s Immortal Energy being able to control him, I can also control him.
The Mind Conceding Soup? Back then, I sent Bing Ji to Gu Hai’s side so that she could try and make Gu Hai drink the Mind Conceding Soup. Initially, I did that to control Gu Hai and use him to threaten and trick the Supreme Wa. Now, it looks like it will be useful here.
Even if Gu Hai lasts until the end, I have the Mind Conceding Soup that can control him. I can make him come over to me to die.
Initially, I wanted Gu Hai to drink two bowls, but Bing Ji only gave him one. One is enough. I don’t need to control him for years. Just a short while is sufficient.
Although the Supreme Genesis is loyal to me, he might not agree to letting me kill him. However, Gu Hai is different.
“Gu Hai makes sense. Gathering the Immortal Energy is better than leaving it scattered!” the Supreme Singularity suddenly said with narrowed eyes.
“What?” The Supreme Genesis’s expression changed.
The Supreme Singularity agrees to killing each other? Heaven left the Supreme Singularity in charge of the situation. The Supreme Singularity’s words represent Heaven’s intentions.
