Chapter 1238: 73 Weird Means, Lord of the Abyss_5 Chapter 1238: 73 Weird Means, Lord of the Abyss_5 Are you fucking kidding me with this?

This is simply absurd!

“Of course!”

The remnant soul of the Purple Emperor looked wizened as he solemnly said, “What kind of existence is Heavenly Judge? Even we Nine Colors sovereigns can’t fathom its origin. Isn’t that unreasonable? I’ve long suspected, even been certain, that there is no so-called ‘Heavenly Judge headquarters’ in this world!”

“The mythical founder of Heavenly Judge could only be those untouchable deities we yearn for!”

“As for those rewards, they are naturally fabricated out of thin air by the deities of Heavenly Judge.”

“Otherwise, who would have such magical powers, such capabilities?”

“Not to mention anything else, we Nine Colors sovereigns are touted to the extreme by the people of the world, the pinnacle of this era, but could even the nine of us combined do what Heavenly Judge does?”

The Purple Emperor sneered, “Don’t we know our own affairs best? Even if we had ten thousand more Nine Colors sovereigns collaborating, we still couldn’t achieve what Heavenly Judge does! That’s a divine miracle, only gods can do it. How could mere human effort, no matter how great in number, create such a miracle?”

Qing Ming took a long sigh, “Indeed, I agree with your judgement.”

The Purple Emperor flipped his eyelid, “Then what else is there to say? By this reasoning, since you, Qing Ming, have attained the status of a branch of Heavenly Judge, doesn’t that mean… fate lies with Qin?”

Fate lies with Qin?

Upon hearing the Purple Emperor’s conclusive statement, Lan Dan, Yellow Wind, and the others were all stunned.

But upon closer reflection, it seemed not only reasonable, but actually the case!

Hasn’t Great Qin already unified the entire human realm?

By this logic, doesn’t it further substantiate the divine discernment, absolutely faultless!

The Great Qin Empire is the destiny foreordained to dominate the world!

But is the truth really so?

So crude and simple?!

“If one is resolute in heart, a single revelation suffices to explain too much. Yet even knowing where destiny lies, from my position as Great Yan’s Purple Emperor, mustn’t I still devote myself to trying, trying to defy heaven and change fate, to see how I might pull destiny back?”

The Purple Emperor huffed, “With my exceptional talent and grand ambition, how could I be like those idiots, not considering anything? Just stupidly waiting to die every day… heh, and they have the nerve to talk about so-called justice and righteousness, which is all nonsensical twaddle, simply warming a seat of power…”

“And what did you do? How did you go about it?”

“What did I do? Naturally, I did what you would do! The first attempt was, of course, to follow Heaven’s Path and hope for its blessing!”

The eyes of the Purple Emperor blazed with resentful fire.

“I burned incense to Heaven’s Path, offered up the thirteen sacrifices, with fresh blood as the token, souls as the sacrifice, the royal dragon’s aura as proof, my whole cultivation as the foundation, and a wisp of my soul as a pledge. The emperor, leading the civil and military officials, kneeled in prayer, beseeching the obscure forces to establish a Great Yan Heavenly Judge branch!”

The Purple Emperor said bitterly, “But this damned Heavenly Judge, despite me going to such lengths, never responded, not even a whisper of acknowledgement! This is absurd! Why can Qing Ming do it, and I can’t? What kind of reason is that?”

Even Qing Ming, the Great Honor of the Nine Colors, and the rest went silent.

Because they truly had never considered this approach.

The Purple Emperor, however, had attempted it, taken action, fought for his own life, fought for the realm he was sworn to protect. Sadly, heaven did not favor the mortals’ desires, and it was all in vain.

Whereas Lan Dan and others felt a bit relieved: luckily they hadn’t attempted it.

Just imagining that scene, with not a single reaction, wouldn’t that be like dying of embarrassment on the spot?

The emperor and all the civil and military officials were watching!

Wouldn’t it be just pretending and beating around the bush, and then nothing to show for it?

Wasn’t it just a monkey show for everyone to see?

Futile effort, plus the additional toll on the people and treasury, how could that ever sound good?

And associating it with the Purple Emperor’s status in Great Yan, everyone just felt… fuck, if it were me, I’d break down too!

At that moment, wouldn’t the awkwardness be enough to dig out a Capital City with your toes?

“And then what?” Qing Ming also felt sympathetic.

Only he understood the reason, that there could only be one branch of Heavenly Judge established, and a second one was impossible.

No matter how sincere the Purple Emperor was, or how much he offered, it was futile.

“That one sacrifice made me the laughingstock among the high ranks of Great Yan. Although the emperor forcefully suppressed the matter and even issued a gag order, for a long time after that, as I walked down the streets, I felt as if there were people whispering behind my back.”

“You just don’t understand that kind of embarrassment!”

The Purple Emperor was gnashing his teeth, his soul’s essence seething and exploding in anger.

“And what happened after that?”

“It was precisely after that soul sacrifice that, although I never received recognition from Heavenly Judge, I unexpectedly made contact with the Abyss! I suppose when one path was closed, another opened, right?”

“The Abyss? They contacted you first, right?”

“Mm, during one of my meditation practices, suddenly a deep consciousness contacted me!”

“At first, I naturally ignored it, but later on, this consciousness told me that the path to connect with Heavenly Judge was already occupied, no further way forward, facts lay before my eyes. But the Great Dao is not limited to one path, knowing there’s an impasse ahead, why not forge an alternate path? He could offer me more than I could ever imagine!”

“Even Heaven’s Path could be mine.”

“I, of course, ridiculed his absurd claims, but that consciousness directly stated it was the master of the Abyss!”

“I still scoffed at it. The master of the Abyss, so what? Daring to offer Heaven’s Path as the reward? All talk and no substance, isn’t it? And then he passed on to me a formation, instructing me to set up an array according to the given formation.”
