Chapter 689: The Biggest Problem

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

Sometimes, it was necessary to make a gesture regardless of one’s true mindset.

For example, in the incident of the Li family, Zhou Bao had saved the Li family on account of his friends.h.i.+p with Li Xiu. But that did not mean Zhou Bao would protect those who colluded with pract.i.tioners from the Alien Realm. Therefore, when the pract.i.tioners of the Human Emperor Palace and the Divine Wind Palace were besieged, Zhou Bao also made a strike, showing where he stood. Zhou Bao was a member of the Heaven Realm World and he would never ever stand with the Alien Realm pract.i.tioners.

As to why he did not strike until a Lord of Heaven appeared, the answer was evident. Considering his ident.i.ty and cultivation, his opponent should also be a pract.i.tioner in the Lord of Heaven Realm or above. If you asked him to fight against a pract.i.tioner below that, it would have been beneath him.

Indeed, if he had to battle with guys lower than the Lord of Heaven, he would be awfully busy.

“After this, the Alien Realm pract.i.tioners should know to behave themselves. They attacked the Human Emperor Palace and Divine Wind Palace in broad daylight. How dare they!”

“They’re not so daring. They’re just fearless. They do not regard the Seven-deity Regions as a decent match, even the Sea Area is worthless in their eyes!”

“The strength of the Alien Realm pract.i.tioners is truly high above that of the Heaven Realm World. But don’t forget that everyone who appears in the Heaven Realm World must be subject to the restriction of its Dharma, especially Human Immortals, who actually have no way of entering the Heaven Realm World, therefore…”

“Even though Human Immortals can’t enter, Lords of Heaven can!” Something seemed to occur to w.a.n.g She, and his eyes started to s.h.i.+ne. “As far as I know, other macro worlds can even limit the entry of pract.i.tioners in the Realm of True Immortality!”

“This is the trickiest thing. The fate of our Heaven Realm World is declining. In my personal view, the Heaven Realm World is very sick, unable to fend off invasions from the outside worlds. If there were no Void Thunder Tribulations, even Human Immortals would be able to creep into the Heaven Realm World!”

“That’s no good!” w.a.n.g She said slowly, his tone appearing to contain a deeper significance.

“There seems to be more to it than what you just said!”

“Well, if even you and I can grasp this point, then, can the Divine Wind Palace, the Three Western Regions, and the Sea Area really be unaware of it?”

“You have a point. They all know, and they all want to fix it. But even though only Lords of Heaven are allowed to enter the Heaven Realm World, if all the Lords of Heaven from other macro worlds come here together, they could indeed demolish the Heaven Realm World. We would only be able to take on so many Heaven Realm Worlds at the same time if we resorted to the Power of Fate of the entire Heaven Realm World!” Zhou Bao nodded slightly and went on, “Are you saying that everyone has their eyes on the Fate Creator?”

“Right, the Golden Book of Fate, the Ranking of Demons and Immortals, and the Immortal-burying Pool have divided the fate into three parts. The device spirit Fate Creation Boy pays no attention to mundane affairs and his Power of Fate has been slashed, so the Heaven Realm World is on the wane. Now that others macro worlds are coveting the Heaven Realm World and many of their influences have crept in, the Heaven Realm World is actually unable to deal with them. Surprise attacks like today’s are bound to happen more frequently, so…”

“So, we’d better combine the three parts into one as soon as possible!” Zhou Bao sneered. “You knew that already, didn’t you? You’re just trying to talk me into it!”

“I’m not here to talk you into anything. I’m just telling you the truth. Today you killed a Lord of Heaven, tomorrow you may kill another one, and the day after that one more, but can you really kill them every day?”

“I also barricaded the Wuyang Region. I can do that for now, but can I really do that for good?” Zhou Bao chimed in, laughing. “You’re still saying you do not want to persuade me. Just spit it out, who sent you here?”

“No one asked me to say these things. I’m just telling you what’s on my mind!” w.a.n.g She smiled. “By the way, I want to remind you that very soon, all the influences will take action in light of this incident. Your father-in-law, the Human Emperor candidate, may have a chance to become Fate Creator, and you…”

“Him? Forget it! He can never become Fate Creator!” Zhou Bao shook his head decisively. “If this kind of psycho becomes Fate Creator, there will be trouble!”

“In that case, you will support the Fate Creation Boy, won’t you?”

“The Fate Creation Boy is the device spirit of the Fairy Weapon of Fate of this macro world. He is also the Guardian of Fate. Nothing about that is disputable!” Zhou Bao gave a cold grin. The Fate Creation Boy and Venerable Black Turtle had made great contributions in helping Zhou Bao achieve today’s accomplishments. It could be said that without the two, Zhou Bao would not have enjoyed his current status. Whatever objects they had, Zhou Bao knew that he had to return the favor they offered to him.

“Yeah, it seems so. But the Fate Creation Boy always holds himself aloof from the world and acts unpredictably. He may not serve the best interests for the influences of the Heaven Realm World!”

“Forget it! Those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds dare to reckon themselves as the masters of the Heaven Realm World! If they p.i.s.s me off, I can make them drown with my spit!” Zhou Bao swore resentfully. “Now if you’re not going to persuade me to do anything, why did you bring this up? Does this have something to do with you?”

“Unlike me, you have a macro world at your disposal. You have room to attack as well as to defend. I was born in the Heaven Realm World. Although it is getting weaker and weaker, I do not want to see it get destroyed!”

“No one wishes that. But the final ending of the Heaven Realm World is not something that I can control!”

“That is also the reason why I’m telling you this!” w.a.n.g She said, casting a look at Zhou Bao. “I need to know how you feel about it, and Child-endowing Buddha too!”

” What do you mean?”

“Each of the three of us has a combat capability parallel to a Divine Spirit. You could even destroy the entire Heaven Realm World. If we form a team and move forward together, our voice will dwarf the super sects!”

“Haven’t we already been on one team together?” Zhou Bao scowled. “Are you going to expose the Child-endowing Buddha?”

“It’s best for now if only you and I stand in the open, while the Child-endowing Buddha hides in the dark!”

“Then why did you come to me?”

“I’m just thinking that this matter is extremely urgent, so I’d better make sure you’re prepared for it. Even though you have chosen to support the Fate Creation Boy, there are some issues you still need to discuss with him. Otherwise, if something happens, it will be more troublesome. Now that you’ve made up your mind, I will say no more!”

Zhou Bao gave a smile. Watching w.a.n.g She disappear from sight, he shook his head slightly. It was true that he had been negligent about this matter. The Fate Creation Boy had visited him earlier, but he hadn’t mentioned any of this. He subconsciously knew that the fate of the Heaven Realm was divided into three, and the complex issues relevant to that fact had existed for hundreds of thousands of years and evolved into a real mess. There was no way this mess could be resolved in a short time. But who could have known that the biggest weakness of the Heaven Realm World would be exposed by the Alien Realm pract.i.tioners? Now that the weakness had been revealed, they had to sort it out.

After all, they could not allow Lords of Heaven from other macro worlds to run free in the Heaven Realm.

Aside from the Sea Area, in the Seven-deity Regions, the strongest combatants were Human Immortals, and they were really rare. Then, there were Lords of Heaven, but their total number was less than a hundred. Compared to the Alien Realm pract.i.tioners, they were obviously outnumbered.

If each of the macro worlds dispatched a dozen Lords of Heaven, the Heaven Realm would not be able to contend with them. But that was not the most important part. The thing that mattered most was that if the Fairy Weapon of Fate of the Heaven Realm World was intact, then, the Heaven Realm could use it to block out the Lords of Heaven or even Venerables. Only a few Lords of Heaven or Venerables could invade using special means, but there would not be very many. Further, under the monitor of the Dharma of the Heaven Realm World, even if they entered, they would not dare to make blatant strikes and murder pract.i.tioners of the Heaven Realm World. This kind of thing simply could never happen to other macro worlds in the first place.

If this surprise attack had occurred in other macro worlds with intact Fairy Weapons of Fate, they would have been killed by Thunder Tribulations as soon as they launched their strike.

“What w.a.n.g She said was right. After this attack, the biggest problem is that the Heaven Realm World was exposed. For both the Sea Area and the Seven-deity Regions, having an intact Fairy Weapon of Fate means they can fight off hordes of troops. Accordingly, the repair of the Fairy Weapon of Fate will be a priority soon. Then, a new Fate Creator will emerge. They will be selected from the Sea Emperor, the Human Emperor, the Fairy Pool Hunter, and the Fate Creation Boy. Only one of them can be chosen. The Fate Creation Boy is the device spirit of the Fairy Weapon of Fate, and once he loses this compet.i.tion, he will be controlled by the new Fate Creator. When that time comes, our secrets will not remain secret. This is not good. Unless I leave the Heaven Realm World, I will still be subject to numerous restrictions and hidden troubles. I cannot let anyone else be the new Fate Creator, whether it is the Fairy Pool Hunter, the Sea Emperor, or my father-in-law. None of them can take the position!”

Zhou Bao clenched his fists and made up his mind. In fact, it was not such a hard decision. In order to maximize his personal interests and minimize damage, the Fate Creation Boy was definitely the best choice.

Father, Dinosaur hasn’t eaten anything in three days!”

The moment Zhou Bao returned to the Wuyang Region, his son poured out his woes to him with a bitter expression, “Mother is also not feeling well. She has had no appet.i.te for several days, either!”

“Really? A Level Eight expert won’t starve to death even if they don’t eat several days. What’s your mom thinking!” Zhou Bao gently raised his eyebrows.
