Chapter 887: Chapter 882 Preparation 2

"So, what do you think of Sherie Divine Monarch..." Xia couldn’t quite understand.

As the Evil God King, without the permission of the Hall Master of the Divine King’s Hall, Xia would not have had the qualification or the ability to persuade so many Evil God Kings to walk into a trap willingly.

In fact, even his own deceit abilities largely came from this ancient woman who had existed since time immemorial.

"He is different... just like Fang Yushou and Jiu Se," the Divine Ancestor said calmly.

"The universe is changing, the Dark Universe is like this, and so is the Great Universe. Jiu Se and Fang Yushou became Taoist Ancestors long ago, much earlier than anyone imagined, and they have even reached pinnacle realms that even the Taoist Ancestors cannot touch.

That is a realm once attained by the Future Buddha. Now, haha... it is divided into two parts."

"Shall we kill Lin Sherie now?"

Xia was a bit confused.

"There’s no need to touch him. Fang Yushou is protecting him, and with the Dark-side Future Buddha around, moving against him would just give Fang Yushou a reason to act against us."

The Divine Ancestor spoke slowly.

"Alright then, four Evil God Kings can be considered a small gift for Lin Sherie Divine Monarch."

"But... my backup plans..." Xia was evidently unwilling to concede.

Bang!

In the blink of an eye, faster than a thought could react.

Half of Xia’s body exploded abruptly.

Yellow, black, and green pus, along with rotting flesh flew from the flying battleship. Scattering across the surrounding ground.

Xia’s eyes widened, completely unable to anticipate that the Divine Ancestor would attack him.

He stood there, the right side of his body entirely gone, cleanly sliced away as if by a knife.

The Divine Ancestor hadn’t moved, her standing posture the same as before.

But Xia knew, this was indeed the Divine Ancestor’s doing.

"Now is not the time... if you alert him, then just die with him..."

The Divine Ancestor whispered softly.

.........

The Taoist Ancestor Origins, one red and one blue, were playfully chasing each other mid-air, sometimes high, sometimes low.

Two streams of grey vapor just showed their forms and lunged at the Taoist Ancestor Origin, only to suddenly feel their bodies tremble and find themselves back in their initial positions in the air from a moment ago.

A two-headed werewolf within the grey vapor licked its lips.

"So these are the two Taoist Ancestor Origins of Green Lake Mountain?"

Behind him appeared a beautiful woman with long black hair, her hair like living creatures.

"How are we dividing them?"

"I get red, you take blue!" The two-headed werewolf charged towards the Taoist Ancestor Origins without looking back.

As he spoke of division, a glint of greed appeared in his eyes. With a wave of his hand, hundreds of black flail-like void shadows emerged.

Each flail exuded an aura of ancient decay, on the verge of crumbling to dust.

All the flails formed a black torrent, rushing towards the red Taoist Ancestor Origin.

He could feel the breath of the black-haired woman closely pursuing behind him.

Just as the torrent of flails was about to touch the Taoist Ancestor Origin.

Swoosh!!

An identical torrent suddenly appeared by the blue Origin as if teleported.

Both torrents, in unison, violently collided with the two Taoist Ancestor Origins.

"Sorry! I’ll be taking both Ancestors! Hahaha!!!" The two-headed werewolf laughed maniacally.

He turned around.

Huh.

Behind him was emptiness.

"Trying tricks? Narnia, you’re too naive! Before my eyes of death, any sneaky little tricks are nothing but trash played by the lower class!"

The two-headed werewolf’s eyes shone with black spirals, swiftly scanning the surroundings.

But oddly, after waiting on guard for a while, there was still no movement around him.

"Narnia, did you think I would let my guard down? We only have fifty breaths of time, once passed, no one will care about your gains or losses."

The surroundings were silent, with no one answering him.

The two-headed werewolf finally sensed something was amiss.

"Narnia?! Come out. If you don’t, I’m leaving!"

He shouted loudly.

There was no response.

The entire core area seemed to have only ever been occupied by him alone.

"Xia! Get out here!"

The two-headed werewolf felt uneasy.

He suspended the two Taoist Ancestor Origins beside him. His whole body tense, staring all around.

"Narnia, if you don’t come out now, I’m truly leaving!"

The two-headed werewolf called out once more.

"I’m here!" A delicate feminine voice came from behind him.

The werewolf quickly turned. Yet saw nothing.

His body instantly tensed up, realizing something was wrong, he quickly turned again, looking ahead.

Swish!!

His vision blurred for a moment, then plunged into darkness.

The werewolf’s mind went blank, losing all consciousness.

********************

Northern Starfield, Jiu Se Divine Domain.

Inside a grand city.

Beside the bustling streets and endless stream of cars, there was a hall displaying a sign as new as the casino.

The hall was crowded with all sorts of people around dozens of large tables.

In front of one of the large tables, fifteen-year-old Fang Yushou was earnestly staring at the black dice pot in front of him, his eyes full of tension.

The dice pot was tightly held by a man’s fair and slender hand.

Fang Yushou didn’t like gambling.

But since he turned ten, he would come to this gambling house once a year.

Not to gamble, but to learn from the fair-skinned middle-aged man in front of him.

"Do you see it? The meaning represented by the dice."

The fair-skinned man’s face was very cold, as if he was born with a facial paralysis or had a deep hatred with people, without a trace of expression.

Yet he was very handsome, with a physique that was extremely slender and proportionate. Although he wore the generic black short attire of the gambling house, he still stood out among the dice dealers here.

"I see it." Fang Yushou nodded seriously.

"Master, you once said life is like dice, from one to nine hundred ninety-nine, all are uncertain numbers.

The same dice, some can only live out one point, while others can live out nine hundred ninety-nine points."

The middle-aged man slightly nodded.

His face, stiff as if frozen, showed a faint softness.

"Have you understood anything else?"

Fang Yushou thought for a moment.

"Master also guided me, that life should be like the gambling table, never admitting defeat until the last moment, there will always be a chance for a comeback! Compared to the points on the gambling table, what we wager is not dice, but human hearts."

"The logic is crude, but practical." The fair-skinned middle-aged man said lightly. "I’m a bit preoccupied recently and need to travel far, rest well and come find me later."

"Yes, Master." Young Fang Yushou nodded.

The fair-skinned middle-aged man stood up, packed up his things, rolled up his sleeves, and directly walked to the entrance of the casino.

Suddenly, he seemed to think of something and turned back to look at the young man.

"Ah Shou, do you think my trip this time will be auspicious or ominous?"

Young Fang Yushou hesitated, quickly took out a piece of a turtle shell, rubbed it with his fingers as if calculating something.

"Very auspicious."

He lifted his head and replied with a smile.

The fair-skinned middle-aged man was slightly startled, paused, then suddenly laughed.

The originally rigid and icy visage now carried a trace of softness, a loving smile.

If anyone familiar with his identity saw this scene, their eyes would likely pop out. He actually laughed, such a genuine, gentle, affectionate smile.

It was simply the greatest incredibility.

"Study well, wait for my return."

"Yes, Master." Young Fang Yushou respectfully bowed his head.

The fair-skinned middle-aged man walked out of the casino, following the crowd forward, yet unknowingly fading into the mass, disappearing completely in an instant.

......

At the very top of the Jiu Se Divine Domain, Jiu Se Divine Palace.

If the Jiu Se Divine Domain is likened to an enormous inverted spinning top, then the top end Jiu Se Divine Palace would be the most terrifying and mysterious part of the inverted spinning top.

The Jiu Se Divine Domain covers a vast area, spanning over millions of Constellation Systems, containing tens of millions of various types of worlds, planes, planets, Dead Stars.

Among them, ordinary mortal planets protected by Jiu Se are numerous.

Though merely passively resisting the disaster aura, ultimately considering it a good thing.

The Jiu Se Divine Palace is like the peacock’s colorful screen, with a huge semicircular palace gate entrance.

The gate has countless golden and silver light spheres, floating gently and freely like soap bubbles, colliding in midair.

The magnificent Divine Palace in white and gold carries the unique golden lotus aura of Buddhism. Even the most elite Heavenly Venerable couldn’t step a foot in.

But at this moment, a fair-skinned middle-aged man in a black short attire appeared out of nowhere in front of the Divine Palace.

No one noticed him, not even able to see him.

He passed through the Divine Palace gates like a phantom, proceeding along the long black passageway.

Along the lengthy corridor, at intervals, were pairs of purple braziers inserted into the walls.

As the middle-aged man walked through the corridor, with each step, his physique and appearance visibly changed in the minds of others.

From the initial expressionless face to the subsequent expressionless face as well. Though the resultant change was the same.

But no matter who, they could clearly see the fair-skinned middle-aged man after changing, radiating an inexplicable mystical aura.

The middle-aged man went straight to the innermost part, and as he got there, a golden glow appeared around him.

The face of the original middle-aged man gradually disappeared, replaced by a powerful and flawless ruler with cold demeanor and handsome appearance.

"Very auspicious..." A softness flashed through Jiu Se Divine Lord’s eyes.

"Teaching a disciple for eight million years, you’re certainly an oddball." A young female voice rang out in the corridor.

"Traversing such distant space and time, sacrificing such a huge price back then, if I still fail, could you lend me a hand?"

Jiu Se Divine Lord always appeared aloof, arrogant, yet no one ever saw him speak in such a pleading tone.

"Why should I bother?" The woman was merciless. "Anyway, this universe is going to end soon, you and I can leave self-sufficient after fulfilling our agreement. Your zealous disciple has nothing to do with me."

"Destroying the black universe is merely to nurture a new universe. Like all directions, traversing all times, the number of black universes is endless; no matter how strong an existence, they don’t know how many black universes there are." Jiu Se Divine Lord said plainly.

"Before I practiced Buddhism, I accompanied Ah Shou, relying on each other. Throughout my life, I’ve encountered countless geniuses, yet I’ve never seen anyone better than Ah Shou."

"So what?" The woman said indifferently.

"He can save your life." Jiu Se Divine Lord said seriously.

"Save me???"

The woman froze, as if she’d heard something extremely exaggerated and amusing.

"I, the king, born with the Dharma Jade, the innate Dharma body, resonating with time, harmonizing with space! Neither born nor died nor destroyed nor perished! Even at your strongest, you could only discuss Tao on equal terms with me.

Now, your disciple dares to say he can save me?!"

"I’m just speaking the truth." Jiu Se’s expression remained unchanged, said no more, and walked deeper into the palace.
