Chapter 131: Returning to the Turbulent Sea, Plotting for Brightness

Chapter 131: Returning to the Turbulent Sea, Plotting for Brightness

"Twenty years later, when the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons opens, I wonder if we can hold out until then." He Wu's eyes held a hint of reminiscence.

Ling Ya Yi, or Nan Gong Dog as he was known in the past, spoke with a hint of playfulness, "With the Master's Soul Blood Artifact left behind, what is there to fear, Your Highness?"

He Wu swallowed, "But... Your Highness has an army of ten thousand Supreme Beings from the Demon Realm."

Ten thousand Supreme Beings—the number itself sounded terrifying.

The entire Windflow Realm didn't have this many Supreme Beings combined.

Not to mention, the Northern Region's strength surpassed that of the Southern Region.

They couldn't possibly hold out for long here.

Upon hearing this, Ling Ya Yi's expression turned solemn, "Twenty years later, the Master will come here. I don't know... Alas, although I want to see the Master, I hope he doesn't enter."

The Blood Lord was powerful and innately divine.

If given enough time, the Master might even surpass Your Highness, who possesses the Destiny Slate.

However, Your Highness lacks martial ethics, colluding with the Demon Realm, and has nearly ten thousand more Supreme Beings in his army.

How can they possibly fight against this?

With ten thousand Supreme Beings attacking together, even the White Emperor would be in peril!

Their Master was powerful, but not that powerful.

Although it was said that the Master's Primordial Divine Ability was the ultimate Supreme Being killer.

Once the divine ability was unleashed, the Supreme Beings in the Windflow Realm would have their Heart Demons shattered, and they wouldn't be able to resist.

But those ten thousand Supreme Beings were from the Demon Realm.

The Master's Primordial Divine Ability couldn't instantly kill them.

"Palace Lord of Tianxin Palace, do you want the Master to enter?" Ling Ya Yi looked at Ning Tou.

If the Master had someone he cared about in this world, it would be Ning Tou.

Ling Ya Yi no longer hoped that the Master would remember his name.

Even if he did remember, it would be Ling Ya Yi, not Nan Gong Dog.

He Wu also turned to look at Ning Tou.

Ning Tou held the blood-red longsword, her eyes clear, "I hope, yet I don't hope."

The Golden Canary might hope, but she didn't.

At that moment, deep within the fortress.

Bai Ze sat in the depths of the underground, his body translucent like glass, flawless and radiant.

Countless scenes from the Demon Mirror flooded into his mind, and a trace of pain flashed in his eyes as a wisp of black Qi rose silently.

At that moment, the Heartless Lotus emitted a faint glow, dispelling the strands of black Qi that had appeared on his forehead.

Bai Ze's eyes revealed a hint of clarity, "This matter... The urgent task at hand is to first resolve the Demon Realm and Shang Yanran's crisis."

About ten breaths passed, and a Great Supreme Being entered, "White Emperor, in recent days, Your Highness's offensive has weakened, surrounding but not attacking. I wonder what the intention is."

Mentioning this, the Great Supreme Being's face was filled with worry, unsure if this was a good or bad sign.

With the surrounding but not attacking strategy, they had no immediate concerns, and no one needed to fight and get injured or die.

But if Your Highness launched a full-scale attack, it would be a fierce strike, and they feared that no one here could withstand it.

The Windflow Realm was in peril.

Bai Ze's eyes shifted, and he finally said helplessly, "Is she... waiting for the Master?"

Twenty years later, the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons would open.

The Master would surely enter the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons.

"Yanran... Slaughter cannot solve the problem of demonic beasts." Bai Ze sighed.

After the Buddha became a demon, the Great Demon was sealed within the Gate of Ten Thousand Devils.

However, in people's hearts, demonic beasts multiplied.

As the number of demonic beasts increased, this world would descend into complete madness.

When they reached a certain number, all living beings in the Windflow Realm would have no chance of survival.

In Bai Ze's view, Shang Yanran's journey to the Northern Region to initiate the North-South Battle was an attempt to eliminate demonic beasts through slaughter.

He didn't support it, but he couldn't stop it.

He always believed that slaughter wasn't the solution.

There must be a better way.

"Master... it's best not to enter the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons."

...

Gate of Ten Thousand Demons, Demon Palace.

Shang Yanran wore a plain white robe, her eyes narrowed in a smile that wasn't quite a smile.

The Supreme Beings in the palace trembled in fear.

"Please punish me, Your Highness, it's my fault. I failed to guard the Demon Mirror and let the White Emperor take it!" Zi Yan, the Great Supreme Being, knelt on the ground without a shred of dignity, his back shivering.

The Demon Mirror was one of Shang Yanran's treasures.

"Hehe..." Shang Yanran laughed, causing Zi Yan to become even more terrified, "What crime have you committed? If I hadn't intentionally let him obtain the Demon Mirror, how could he have gotten it?"

Zi Yan was stunned for a moment but remained bowed, not daring to say a word.

Shang Yanran waved her hand in annoyance, and Zi Yan quickly stood up, relieved, and left.

In the vast palace, only Shang Yanran remained.

Her eyes held a smile that wasn't quite a smile, tears that weren't quite tears.

She muttered to herself, appearing quite resentful, "Husband, in the illusion, it was clearly our lifetime together."

Resentment turned into madness.

"Why... I accompanied you in killing, and in death, and in the end... you woke up and wanted to kill me?"

"Why... won't you let me see your treasure?"

"Is it you who saved me, or is it I... who obtained you?"

A trace of greed flashed in the depths of Shang Yanran's eyes.

Bai Ze was the Buddha, the Great Demon!

And she... was a demoness, just one of her many identities.

In the past, when Qi Yuan entered the Gate of Ten Thousand Devils, he fell into an illusion, living the life of the Great Demon.

Only, it was Qi Yuan who played the role.

Qi Yuan was in the Gate of Ten Thousand Devils, and the Golden Canary was in the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons.

In the past, she accompanied the Great Demon through countless lifetimes, wreaking havoc on mortals. When the Great Demon attained enlightenment, he wanted to exterminate her.

Her schemes had come to naught.

"Great Sun Bodhisattva Son!"

"Great Sun Lotus!"

Shang Yanran's eyes gleamed with even more greed.

The Great Sun Lotus was the relic left behind by the Great Sun Bodhisattva after his nirvana.

If she obtained the Great Sun Lotus, her original body would be transformed into a flawless golden body.

This golden body was indestructible, unbreakable by gods or weapons.

Once she cultivated it, she could swallow the Windflow Realm that she had been plotting for many years, truly consuming it and turning it into her paradise.

"For the sake of this world, I'll take the Great Sun Lotus… and give it to me!"

...

In the No Return City.

Qi Yuan sat there dejectedly.

The broken sword in his hand continuously reaped the demonic beasts.

A helpless look appeared in his eyes, "It's easy to go from frugality to luxury, but hard to go back. Now, what kind of demonic beasts are these?"

Nowadays, even Supreme Beings were absent from the conveyor belt of demonic beasts.

There were only Earth Mythic powerhouses, with a few nation-level demonic beasts mixed in.

This made Qi Yuan, who was used to the finer things in life, feel a bit uncomfortable for a moment.

After his rant, Qi Yuan's hand trembled, and an ancient slate fell into his hand.

This slate was a fragment of the Destiny Slate, also known as the Fraud Slate.

【The fragment of the Destiny Slate, its spirit has perished, buried in the hands of the Buddha.】

Every day, Qi Yuan would take out the Destiny Slate to see if he could gain any useful information.

Unexpectedly, the information he obtained today surprised him.

"Does the Destiny Slate have a spirit artifact?" Qi Yuan pondered, "Where is it now?"

Qi Yuan didn't have much entanglement with the Destiny Slate.

But they had crossed paths a few times.

"Is it you... stirring up trouble?"

Qi Yuan's gaze deepened.

Twenty years remained until the opening of the Demon Gate.

Guarding No Return City would almost never go wrong.

Twenty years in the Wave Surge Realm was equivalent to two days, and he could log off once.

Of course, before logging off, he had to handle matters properly.

"In these twenty years, I must strive to nurture and create more Supreme Beings.

After all, the enemy has ten thousand Supreme Beings, and Blood Palace only has three thousand Supreme Beings. I don't feel secure." Qi Yuan lacked a sense of security.

It was as if he was being oppressed by the powerful Bright Palace when he was in the Divine Light Sect.

He shivered and couldn't sleep at night.

He needed to create more Supreme Beings to feel more secure.

"Big Brother, the task you assigned has been completed!" Chen Huan walked in, his face filled with excitement.

This time, after Qi Yuan returned from the White Emperor Palace, he officially became the first overlord of the Windflow Realm and the Blood Lord.

This time, following Qi Yuan's instructions, Chen Huan issued the Blood Edict!

Proclaiming to the world that the Demon Gate had been invaded by demons, all Earth Mythic powerhouses were welcome to come to No Return City, listen to the Blood Lord's teachings, attain Supreme Being, protect the Windflow Realm, and battle at the Demon Gate!

"How many people do you think will come to Blood Palace?" Qi Yuan asked.

"Probably, at least fifty or sixty thousand, right?" Chen Huan guessed conservatively.

There were actually many, many Earth Mythic powerhouses in the Windflow Realm.

One could say, it was ridiculously high.

It was completely out of proportion for a world like the Windflow Realm.

"Fifty or sixty thousand, barely enough to gather an army of ten thousand." Qi Yuan muttered, "I just hope I don't make a fool of myself like the Great Ming War God."

If that happened, he would be disgraced.

Chen Huan listened to Qi Yuan's incomprehensible words with a silly smile on his face.

Ten thousand Supreme Beings?

He had never dared to imagine that!

What kind of scene would that be!

"Big Brother, when we march on the Demon Gate, grant me the position of Grand Marshal, and let this little brother leave his name in history!"

"No problem." Qi Yuan nodded.

These were minor issues.

It's normal for people to have some vanity.

Chen Huan's face was filled with excitement: "This battle is a sure victory, and we will keep the Demon Realm at bay!"

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan suddenly tensed up: "A major problem!"

"Big Brother, what's wrong?" Chen Huan also became anxious.

"I don't think I'm mistaken, but wasn't there a person named Wang Zhen who listened to my teachings some time ago?"

...

"Seems like... Big Brother, what's wrong? Is there a problem with him?" Chen Huan asked anxiously.

"Don't let him go to this battle." Qi Yuan's expression turned solemn.

"...Is he a spy?" Chen Huan's eyes flashed with killing intent.

"Not exactly. His name is a problem." Qi Yuan said, "If there's a Wang Zhen, wouldn't I become the real Great Ming War God?"

Chen Huan: "..."

He had tried his best, but why couldn't he keep up with Big Brother's train of thought?

Qi Yuan felt his decision was brilliant.

On Blue Star, the Great Ming War God, Zhu Qizhen, was urged by the eunuch Wang Zhen, the head of the Imperial Surveillance and Censorate, to lead an army of 200,000 men on a personal expedition. As a result, he was defeated by an army of 30,000 men, and the Emperor Zhu Qizhen was captured alive. This event was historically known as the Tumu Crisis.

How similar was his attack on the Demon Gate to this?

"Anyone named Wang Zhen will not be allowed to join our army!" Chen Huan said.

Qi Yuan praised Chen Huan with a glance: "You understand me."

Chen Huan immediately revealed a brilliant smile.

At this moment, he didn't want to call Qi Yuan his foster father, but rather Big Brother.

After all, those who joined Blood Palace didn't dare to call Qi Yuan Big Brother; they all wanted to call him foster father.

Even the White Crane Senior, whom Chen Huan used to look up to, was a generation older than him.

"I'm logging off to do something important. Remember to recruit more Earth Mythic powerhouses!" Qi Yuan's expression turned solemn again.

He had a premonition that this game would soon come to an end.

He would directly face the terrifying Bright Palace.

He had to persist in carrying out his plan to have a chance against Bright Palace.

Unfortunately, he couldn't bring the people of the Windflow Realm with him. Otherwise, he would take his thousand-person suona band and block the Bright Palace's mountain gate, playing suona music for them every day to send them away!

Holding Xiao Jia, Qi Yuan found a place, dug a big pit, and jumped in with Xiao Jia in his arms.

When the scene changed, Qi Yuan returned to his familiar wooden cabin.

In his mind, countless memories flooded in like mountains and seas.

Qi Yuan had a headache.

"Forget!"

He immediately used his Primordial Divine Ability, the Great Forget Dharma.

As the memories subsided, he also felt much less pain.

"The Great Forget Dharma is truly amazing. If I were to return to Blue Star, I'd undoubtedly be the best doctor in the world, earning millions a month, marrying a beautiful and wealthy woman, and reaching the peak of life."

Using it on someone with dementia, they forgot about their own dementia, and the person became normal again.

This is truly a divine artifact for treating illnesses.

"As expected, the comprehension of the Origin Divine Ability is still there."

"That Soul Blood Artifact..."

Qi Yuan had a feeling of realization.

If he wanted to, he could also summon the blood-colored longsword engraved with the Primordial Divine Art of the Overlord.

However, at this moment, the crowd from the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons still needed that sword to fight against the enemy, so naturally, he wouldn't do such a thing.

Forgetting about the matters in the game, Qi Yuan began to seriously plan for Bright Palace.

"In the game, I learned a trick—posting online to slander Bright Palace!" Initially, Zi Tian Xuan Nu had been slandering him, saying he was a Great Demon, so he killed Zi Tian Xuan Nu, took her essence, and learned the art of slander.

"I need to post on the Divine Flower Society's forum, but I don't have an alternate account." Qi Yuan was very cautious.

He couldn't use his main account to insult others; if he were discovered, he'd be in big trouble.

An alternate account?

He didn't have one!

"Junior Sister, save me!" Qi Yuan shouted as he ran out of the wooden cabin.

Inside the thatched hut, Jiang Ling Su opened her eyes, looking helpless, "Senior Brother, what's wrong?"

"Junior Sister, do you have some alternate accounts from the Divine Flower Society's forum? It's an emergency, help me!" Qi Yuan said anxiously.

Jiang Ling Su looked at Qi Yuan, "Speak human language!"

She couldn't understand what her Senior Brother was saying at all.

"I mean alternate accounts!" Qi Yuan kept explaining, and after several breaths of time, Jiang Ling Su finally understood Qi Yuan's intention.

"What do you want the accounts for?" Jiang Ling Su asked, then added, "Never mind, I won't ask about that. I can give you some accounts."

But... these accounts aren't cheap. How will you repay me?"

Hearing this, Qi Yuan's heart rejoiced, "Junior Sister, you truly are a living Bodhisattva who saves those in distress."

The Junior Sister was a golden thigh, always ready to help.

"How about I upgrade your thatched hut into a wooden cabin as high-end and classy as mine?" Qi Yuan thought seriously.

Jiang Ling Su's mouth twitched, "Anything else?"

Qi Yuan whispered, "I have some inside information to tell you."

In his previous life, revealing inside information was illegal in the stock market.

Qi Yuan was very careful.

"What information?" Jiang Ling Su became interested.

"Bright Palace... is doomed!" Qi Yuan secretly said.

"What?" Jiang Ling Su was stunned.

"An unparalleled Heaven's Pride is preparing to make a move against Bright Palace. Bright Palace won't last more than three months before it's finished."

Now, he should quickly borrow some Spirit Stones from Bright Palace and make a huge profit.

I know a few big shots; I can directly ask each of them to borrow several hundred thousand Spirit Stones from Bright Palace." Qi Yuan used Ice Mountain Tyrantess to pull some weight.

"Really?" Jiang Ling Su was surprised.

She didn't have any news at all.

"Absolutely true. If I'm lying, I'm a dog!" Qi Yuan said seriously.

"Then I'll trust you. I'll borrow a few hundred thousand Spirit Stones from Bright Palace as a high-interest loan and spend it as pocket money." Jiang Ling Su casually said.

Hearing this, Qi Yuan couldn't hold back, "Junior Sister, how about you invest in me?"

Several hundred thousand Spirit Stones, and it's just pocket money.

Qi Yuan instantly understood why Daozi kept rummaging through garbage dumps.

It turned out that Junior Sister's garbage dumps were richer than his home.

Why was there such a big gap between them?

After obtaining several jade slips with alternate accounts from Jiang Ling Su, Qi Yuan's heart was filled with joy.

"I need to create some powerful aliases!"

"Each alias will slander Bright Palace and put pressure on them!"

Qi Yuan thought as he registered several alternate accounts.

He also carefully came up with some suitable alias names.

Seven Desires Demon Lord, Blood Robe Sword God, Mad Daoist...

"Mad Daoist doesn't fit my style, but I need to design some aliases that don't match me so they won't suspect me."

Qi Yuan applauded his own cleverness.

Using the Blood Robe Sword God account, he entered the forum of the Divine Flower Society.

"Oh my, there are so many shocking titles!"

The first time he entered the forum, the titles of the posts were all very formal and proper. Now, there were many titles starting with 'Shocking'.

Qi Yuan felt like clicking on these posts to see what happened.

But remembering that he had serious business to attend to, he couldn't waste time browsing.

Qi Yuan thought for a moment, then posted his first thread.

"Sword God Returns Home, Daughter Lives in a Dog Kennel, Bright Palace Truly Goes Too Far!"

"I am the Blood Robe Sword God, who once fought for Green Cloud Continent, guarding its borders, shedding blood and sweat.

A month ago, my messaging jade slip rang, and when I answered, I heard my daughter's pitiful cries.

...

When I returned home, I discovered that my adorable daughter was living in a dog kennel!

Bright Palace is responsible for this!

They incited the Hundred Nations Blood Battle, arbitrarily bullied civilians, and occupied my cave mansion. I, the Blood Robe Sword God who shed blood and sweat for Green Cloud Continent, now has a daughter living in a dog kennel!"

"I, the Blood Robe Sword God, will definitely seek justice for this!"

After posting, Qi Yuan quickly logged into another alternate account to reply to his own post.

"Bright Palace has done too many bad things. I'm also a wandering cultivator from the Hundred Nations,

Though I'm called Seven Desires Demon Lord, I have a kind heart, and I even raise a flock of stray chickens.

This time, a Bright Palace envoy came to my country and took a liking to my chickens. They directly grabbed and cooked them.

They didn't just take my chickens; they took my family!"

After posting, Qi Yuan carefully reread it and was very satisfied.

He felt that his writing was excellent, and if he returned to Blue Star, he could even become the chief editor of the People's Daily.

"I need to speed things up."

Qi Yuan thought and decided to utilize the power of the Divine Flower Four Emperors to have them reply to his posts.

There's one more chapter left, probably around 9 pm.

(End of Chapter)
