Blind Spot
Chapter 624 - 572 Realm Four

Chapter 624: 572 Realm Four

Silence lingered for a while before Tian Xuanzi slowly began to speak.

"The path of the Emperor of Flowers is superior to that of Tian Ju Pavilion, but its end is already known, doomed to fail," he said.

He paused, then continued.

"You may need to tread a path that is uniquely your own."

Li Chengyi’s thoughts raced, and he spoke again.

"Then, may I ask the Ancestor, are you aware of the Evil Flower System of the Emperor of Flowers?" This time he was determined to seize the opportunity to clarify his future development.

There was no sound.

There was no answer.

Li Chengyi was taken aback.

Looking up, he saw Tian Xuanzi quietly waiting for him to ask, unchanged from before.

"Is there anything else you wish to inquire?" Tian Xuanzi continued.

It was as if... he hadn’t heard the question at all!!

Li Chengyi’s heart skipped a beat, and suddenly his scalp tingled, goosebumps erupting all over his body instantaneously.

What level of being was Tian Xuanzi? To not even hear the question he asked from such a close distance?! What was going on?!

He gritted his teeth and spoke again.

"May I dare to ask the Ancestor, have you ever heard of the Evil Flower System?!"

There was no answer.

Tian Xuanzi still looked at him calmly.

"If there are no further questions, then this assistance ends here; you should return," he said.

"No! Wait, Ancestor!!" Li Chengyi shouted, having a multitude of questions he still wanted to ask.

But his voice at this moment seemed inaudible to Tian Xuanzi, who appeared unable to hear or see his current emotional state.

Suddenly, Li Chengyi seemed to realize something and hurriedly looked down at the back of his hand.

Indeed!

There, the Mark of the Evil Flower was flashing colored fluorescence rapidly, various colored disks formed by grids shining with different lusters, extravagantly beautiful.

"Then, let us meet again if fate allows..." Tian Xuanzi waved his hand.

Immediately, a gentle breeze wrapped around Li Chengyi, carrying him slowly towards the distance.

In the blink of an eye, Li Chengyi had vanished into the Black Sea.

Tian Xuanzi turned away satisfied, lightly leaping up and transforming into white light, disappearing from sight.

The Mo Sha Blind Spot.

In the offices of the Venus Federation.

Li Chengyi’s figure suddenly appeared in the office, sitting in a leather chair.

It was only then that he came to his senses, feeling the environment around him, realizing he had returned to the Blind Spot...

Pfft.

He leaned back into the soft chair, his mind feeling like it was about to burst, completely numb.

’What was that just now?’ Li Chengyi had thought that since Ancestor Tian Xuanzi could sense the legacy of the Primordial King City, he should also be able to detect the aura of the Evil Flower.

But unexpectedly...

There was no perception at all!

’Is it forbidden knowledge? No... An Omniscient being could not possibly be affected by mere forbidden knowledge!’ Li Chengyi held his head with both hands, feeling a headache starting.

He calmed himself for a moment, then quickly reached out to touch the Mark of the Evil Flower.

By now, the light of the mark had faded.

’You... what exactly are you??’

Li Chengyi had always believed that the Evil Flower was a special legacy tool created by the Emperor of Flowers of the Royal’s City.

But Tian Xuanzi’s reaction this time made him intuitively feel that this mark was probably not as simple as he had thought.

’If I want to know the true nature of the Evil Flower, I may have to look for the old members of the Royal’s City. They might know something of the inner workings.

Now, there are only two old members left, one is Red God and the other is Ye Lu. Perhaps, I can find Ye Lu...’

Ye Lu was that mysterious young man he had encountered in the Black Sea.

He claimed to have been a soldier of the Thousand Leaves Army within the Royal’s City, and since Red God was also a soldier, it was possible that the two knew each other...

Li Chengyi entertained the thought.

Finding Ye Lu was not difficult, as he resided in the Black Sea region between Midlane and Earth-Moon.

Thinking of this, Li Chengyi grew restless. Now that his family was found, Paine was found, White Wax was swiftly defeated—there might be survivors, but their whereabouts were unknown, likely having fled in terror.

He was completely free to bring everyone back to Earth-Moon.

’Right, I also have the option of consulting my master about being forcibly pulled into the Blind Spot!’ A sudden realization led Li Chengyi to smack his own thigh.

He truly had too many questions he wanted answered, but was startled by the transformation caused by the Evil Flower.

As a result, Ancestor Tian Xuanzi couldn’t hear or see his speech at all, and he wasted such a precious opportunity.

Standing up, Li Chengyi looked out the window at the sky.

Through the misty clouds of the rainy sky, he could vaguely make out two figures battling.

Releasing their Divine Domains, a blue sphere of electricity and a white sphere of snow and ice collided and eroded each other, with the melting snow falling as rain.

"Perhaps it’s time to summon the architecture of the Royal’s City and inquire about the specifics from several old members of the previous generation."

Ancestor Tian Xuanzi had already said there was no need to worry; with his strength and status, there was absolutely no need to deceive himself.

This was indeed something worth trying.

Li Chengyi made up his mind.

Now that the Mo Sha no longer had White Wax, the remaining gods were no big threat and could be easily dealt with.

This world was fully qualified to be his base of operations.

’It’s a pity that I originally chose the White Wax World...’

With a hint of regret, Li Chengyi’s eyes suddenly lit up with a black and gold glow.

The Primordial Spirit from within the Sword Furnace of the Primordial Spirit Sword Palace shot out instantly, burrowing into the crevices of the Shadow Dragon Prison.

He didn’t head directly to the core area where Paine and others resided, but instead chose a larger prison space.

Hovering in mid-air.

Surrounding him was a sea of boiling, fiery-red lava, with a pitch-black rock layer above.

This was a prison designed to mimic an underground lava dungeon.

It was enormous, at least several hundred kilometers in diameter as Li Chengyi looked down from high above.

The entire dungeon was filled with lava, poison smoke, and relentless high temperatures.

’This is the place.’ After listening to Ancestor Tian Xuanzi’s explanation, Li Chengyi felt that his previous self had been somewhat petty, always playing house with minor characters like White Wax and the gods, wasting too much time.

He decided to go big this time.

Floating in mid-air, he smelled the toxic sulfuric smoke in the air.

He pressed his hand against the Mark of the Evil Flower.

His mind called out.

Soon, a subtle message entered his mind.

’Summoning function: activate?’

’Activate!’ Li Chengyi responded forcefully.

All around was silence.

Time passed slowly, one minute, five minutes, ten minutes...

After more than half an hour.

Hiss!!

A dazzling purple light burst forth from the mark on the back of Li Chengyi’s hand.

The light spread out in front of him, forming a purple disk in mid-air.

The disk was divided into two parts, like the Taiji symbol.

On the left was a line of large Black Sea Script: Summon existing records.

On the right were four characters in the familiar Chinese language: A new beginning.

A golden line divided the two sides on the semi-transparent purple screen.

Li Chengyi stared blankly at the words.

He could never have imagined that he would see the language of his previous life again...

He was stunned in mid-air for quite some time.

His mind raced with numerous conjectures, but it wasn’t until he calmed down that he took a deep breath.

’Is there a prompt?’ He pressed the Evil Flower and inquired.

He thought the prompt must have self-destructed by now, but he immediately received new feedback.

’Choosing existing records will inherit the subordinates and remnants of wealth left by the previous two Emperors of Flowers.

Choosing a new start will create a new structure at random based on the Divine Flower Position you choose.’

Unexpectedly, facing a new prospect of elevation, Li Chengyi quickly harbored an idea to test.

’I want to know if the Evil Flower System was created by The First Generation Emperor of Flowers?’

’Yes,’ the prompt replied.

Li Chengyi’s brow furrowed, something didn’t seem right. If remnants of the Emperor of Flowers’ creation could deceive and influence the Ancestor Tian Xuanzi, then how could the true Emperor of Flowers have fallen so easily? Was the Emperor of Flowers too powerful?

He always felt something was off.

Suddenly, a glint of realization flashed in his eyes, and he asked again.

’Was the Evil Flower created by the Emperor of Flowers?’ he removed two words.

’No,’ came the immediate feedback from the prompt.

As expected!

In an instant, Li Chengyi understood that if the mark’s feedback was accurate, then it meant that The First Generation Emperor of Flowers also obtained the Evil Flower and used it to build the immense Primordial King City.

He shaped it into the Evil Flower System for his own convenience.

In essence, the Evil Flower probably didn’t have these prompts. The simple information residue and feedback were clearly perfected by The First Generation.

He couldn’t help recalling why he came to this world in the first place.

It was because he had found a beautiful little flower on a mountain in his previous life.

Those little flowers, which were primarily purple-black, swayed with the wind and had a basic color tone very similar to the current Disk of Evil Flower.

Looking at it this way, the origin of the Evil Flower was extremely mysterious.

The power it held might have transcended the description of Ancestor Tian Xuanzi, having a connection with his past life.

Li Chengyi vividly remembered that the cosmic space of his past life was boundless, not smaller than the Black Sea.

It could be said that the two worlds had entirely different cosmological views.

Even Earth-Moon was only as large as the solar system; beyond that lay the Mo Sha Blind Spot’s inner walls, which were impassable.

Contemplating the two choices floating in front of him, Li Chengyi hesitated.

He had originally planned to summon his old subordinates to inquire about the failure of the previous two Emperors of Flowers, but now, a new option presented itself.

He could rebuild a Primordial King City system exclusively his own based on the Evil Flower.

’Perhaps, even if I summon the old subordinates, I might not be able to subdue them due to the vast difference in strength, and I also couldn’t guarantee they wouldn’t deceive me... In this case... to give up a new direction of development, the possibility of a new path, for such information... it’s not worth it...’

Having thought this through, Li Chengyi finally ceased to hesitate.

’I choose, a new beginning!’

Whoosh!

In an instant, the recorded half of the disk faded away, and the half marked with a new beginning lit up completely with golden light, lingering in mid-air for a moment before dissipating as well.

Shortly thereafter, the turntable with the marks of the twelve types of Evil Flowers appeared before Li Chengyi’s eyes.

Wisteria, Gladiolus, Titan Sunflower, Feilian, Purple Magnolia, Purple Delicate Flower, Ziwei Flower, Green Fleece Mugwort, Wheatstalk Chrysanthemum, Snow Lotus, Marsh Forget-me-not.

One by one, the twelve sections, each marked with the word ’Build’, slowly emerged.

’Prompt: Building function is determined by the Flower Language Technique of the Divine Flower Position itself and the types of Flowers and Evil Thoughts absorbed. The abilities of the created structures are unpredictable, please choose carefully.’

Li Chengyi gazed at these sections, analyzing in his mind.

’Isn’t this just like opening a blind box?’
