Chapter 1792: What’s The Big Deal With Holding Hands?
The scientist had a serious expression on her face. Upon seeing Tang Wulin, she immediately said with a cold voice, “Let’s go!”
The corners of Tang Wulin’s lips twitched. He thought to himself ‘You’ve been gone for so long, but you’re not even bothered to explain yourself first?’
However, it was not the time for him to inquire further because they were running short of time!
Both of them left the academy and came to the bank of the Sea God Lake. Tang Wulin said to Ling Zichen, “I might need to hold your hand. Please don’t be offended.”
Ling Zichen rolled her eyes at him. “Stop making a fuss. We’ve hugged before, so what’s the big deal with holding hands?” As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and offered it to Tang Wulin freely.
Tang Wulin awkwardly let out a cough. He felt rather helpless, but there was nothing he could do. He took her hand and unleashed his soul power to enshroud their bodies. They leaped up and into the Sea God Lake at once.
When both of them appeared once again, they had already returned to the side of the Life Subtree. They could hear booming sounds in the distance. It even felt as if the ground was shaking ever so slightly.
Figures came flying over swiftly. They were the numerous Limit Douluos that sensed Tang Wulin’s aura.
Upon seeing that Ling Zichen was with him, there was no need for them to ask if the Eternal Heaven had been brought over. Tang Wulin asked in a hurry, “How’s the situation at the frontline?”
The Heartless Douluo Cao Dezhi hastily replied, “The situation is still quite stable at the moment. After a discussion, the command post made the decision to fire on them continuously without pause. We deplete our ammo so they can deplete their energy. Judging from the current situation, the Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array did not show any sign of moving away from its original spot. It seems like it is not stable enough yet.”
Tang Wulin was relieved. “Great. Your Excellency, let’s head to the command post. Zichen, please stay back. The numerous Excellencies will protect you. I’ll be back to take you along later.”
Even though they brought the Eternal Heaven with them, they would still need to study it in detail before using it.
In the abyssal passage in Thule, purple and black light was seen surging wildly on the gigantic altar. The silhouette standing in the center of the altar had turned a purple-gold color.
A terrifying aura bloomed from the altar ceaselessly, and six people were seated around it. More accurately, these ‘people’ were creatures that had taken a humanoid form.
Some of them included the Black Empress, the Black Monarch and the leader of the Bomb Bee Clan, the Bee Monarch.
Their auras continued surging toward the altar in the center.
The Underworld Emperor and the Ghost Emperor were standing at the periphery, their eyes shimmering with a fervent glow.
The Ghost Emperor muttered, “It’s going to work. It’s about to succeed. We have been planning this for so many years and we’ve finally got the chance to do it. Old Ha, are you excited? After the Demon Empress has done her part, with enough slaughter, it will soon be our turn.
The Underworld King Douluo Ha Luosa nodded. The glow in his eyes was even brighter than the Ghost Emperor’s. “Yes! We’ve always been anticipating this. As long as Her Highness the Demon Empress can succeed, it proves that our path is correct. Everything that we’ve done for the abyssal plane was worth it.”
Yes, this was an exchange between the Holy Spirit Cult and the abyssal plane.
The Holy Spirit Cult promised to help the abyssal plane to open up a brand-new passage, but not without a price.
Completing the Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array was not an easy task. Even after it was finished, countless crises would still happen during the process of its formation due to the wrath of heaven.
It was only possible for them to succeed with the protection of numerous powerhouses.
As a result, the agreement reached between the Holy Spirit Cult and abyssal plane stated that Holy Spirit Cult would help the abyssal plane open up a new passage, but the abyssal plane would need to mobilize adequate powerhouses to help them complete the Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array.
This was a mutually beneficial matter for both parties. The abyssal energy wanted life force while the Holy Spirit Cult wanted death energy. Their needs did not conflict with each other.
The Holy Spirit Cult was extremely precise in their calculations. Firstly, the Holy Spirit Cult was already rather formidable on its own. Even though the energy needed to open up the abyssal passage was enormous, the concealment of abyssal creatures once the passage opened was an even greater advantage for the development of the Holy Spirit Cult. The abyssal creatures were humanity’s true archnemesis.
Secondly, the Holy Spirit Cult utilized the abyssal creatures to commit mass slaughter so that they could acquire even more death energy. They could hide behind the creatures and acquire death energy with minimum risk.
On the other hand, the Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array before their eyes was most important of all. It was the Holy Spirit Cult’s path for evil soul masters to achieve Godhood after countless generations’ worth of research.
If they could not go along with heaven to achieve Godhood, then they would do it by defying heaven. They chose to walk to the end of this evil path and used one million human sacrifices to reach Godhood. They would become the genuine Evil God upon succeeding.
If the Douluo Plane was still under the protection of the Divine Realm, their actions would be deadly. However, they could possibly succeed without the Divine Realm’s presence. Moreover, there was a possibility that they could build the Divine Realm all to themslevs.
As a result, both parties had their own agendas after the agreement was reached. The Holy Spirit Cult opened up the abyssal passage for the abyssal plane first as a token of their sincerity. However, they requested that the abyssal plane help them complete the Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array after the abyssal passage was opened.
Of course, they would never reveal to the abyssal plane that they were seizing this opportunity to achieve Godhood. They had only informed the abyssal plane that the Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array’s mighty defenses could prevent losses on the battlefield. It was a win-win situation.
Hence, what was taking place before their eyes was because of this. It would be the Underworld Emperor and the Ghost Emperor’s turn to achieve Godhood once the Demon Empress became an Evil God. It would be much easier to cast a new Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array in the presence of an Evil God. It was almost impossible for the abyssal Sage King to come to the Douluo Plane due to the planar suppression. At that point, there was nothing the abyssal legion could do. Everything would still be led by the Holy Spirit Cult.
This was the complete version of the plan.
It seemed like the abyssal plane still kept its promise very well judging by the current situation. After sending out the quasigod monarch-ranked powerhouses, it began to help the Demon Empress to complete the great array at once.
This was also the reason Tang Wulin and A Ruheng saw the Holy Spirit Cult’s powerhouses, but did not see any abyssal powerhouses when they approached the location earlier.
The Demon Empress’s entire body was covered in a purple-gold hue. Her face was at last fully revealed.
She was a woman with beautiful facial features. She appeared to be over thirty years old, but she was perfect in every way. Her appearance, her figure and every other body part were exquisite.
At that moment, her entire body was covered by a purple-gold mist. A purple-gold crystal was encrusted on the center of her forehead emitting strong brilliance.
There were no soul rings on her body, but her aura was building at shocking speed. Layers of bizzare gloss emerged on the surface of her skin with a rippling effect.
The explosion outside continued, but the Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array remained unmoved.
A terrifying aura circulated in the air and burst out with continuous overlapping explosion-like effects. These would not cause any severe damage to the abyssal creatures inside the great array.
The Black Monarch sat cross-legged by the altar and opened her eyes slowly. They glistened like black jewels. She raised her head and glanced at the Demon Empress seated at the center of the altar. The corners of her lips curved ever so slightly into an unnoticeable sneer.
Soon enough, she closed her eyes once again and urged her abyssal energy to infuse into the great array before her.
…
Like before, there were only four people in the federal military command post. They were the Boundless Sea Douluo Chen Xinjie, the Divine Brush Douluo Chen Xinjie, Tang Wulin and also the Heartless Douluo Cao Dezhi. “I propose that we launch the weapon as soon as possible.”
The issue with the Eternal Heaven could not be discussed openly, of course, even if the people from the Spirit Pagoda had already figured it out. After all, the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy had not removed the Eternal Heaven from the Spirit Pagoda through guileless means.
Tang Wulin said, “If this Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array itself can be moved, then it is just like a mobile fortress. The abyssal plane could have begun the offensive against us earlier, but they haven’t moved since. There can only be a few possibilities, one being that the Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array has yet to fully form and they are still continuing to prepare it. Another possibility is that the great array is already adequate to elevate their people. Lasty, it could be that there are even more fearsome abyssal creatures that have yet to arrive on the continent. They might still be guarding the passage while waiting for the arrival of those abyssal creatures. However, the right course of action for us right now is to resolve either one of the issues as soon as possible.”
Yu Guanzhi nodded and said, “I agree with Wulin’s statement.”
Chen Xinjie said, “Me too. Then, the issue now is how do we utilize the Eternal Heaven. The Godkiller-ranked fixed soul ammunition has its own special properties. Once it’s unleashed, it will affect everything else in the surroundings directly. Any powerhouse with sufficient rank can sense it. Upon discovery, I’m concerned about whether the abyssal plane will send out suicide attacks to block the ammunition in the sky. It might prevent all of the Eternal Heaven’s power from reaching the Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array.”
Tang Wulin said, “It’s possible. That’s why I brought over the chief of the Tang Sect’s research center this time. She said that she’s confident that we can utilize the Eternal Heaven to its most fullest extent. Why don’t I invite her over to take part in the discussion?”
