Chapter 564: Chapter 564: This World is Too Complicated

Thousands of miles away.

Under the most famous volcano in the island nation.

A quiet shrine’s basement.

In a secret chamber filled with white candles.

An old woman with white hair slowly opened her eyes.

Her plump figure resembled a ball of flesh.

Her wrinkled face bore the traces of time.

"Master, you’ve awoken,"

Seeing the old woman awaken, a dozen men dressed in ritual robes knelt in worship.

They were the most famous High Priests of this island nation, wielding unprecedented authority.

Yet, in front of others, they were like gods.

Now, each one trembled.

Their gazes towards the old woman held an innate submission.

"Chuanben Cilang is dead, and the demonic blade in his hands has shattered."

The old woman took a deep breath.

Her lips moved slightly, her voice not loud.

But upon hearing it, the faces of these men changed involuntarily.

"Master, have we obtained the dragon bone?"

One of them pondered for a moment and couldn’t help asking.

The Blood Moon Plan hinged on that dragon bone.

If it were missing, the power of the Blood Moon Plan would be reduced by more than half.

"We have obtained it, but what use is it now?"

The old woman reached for a cane beside her and slowly stood up.

Her clumsy body, each step taken with great effort.

But the others only dared kneel on the ground.

Not one dared to stand up and help her.

"Master, with the dragon bone, the Blood Moon Plan can be carried out. Once we successfully complete the first step, can’t we achieve our imperial dream and reconstruct it?"

Another couldn’t help but speak.

The Blood Moon Plan was a strategy that had been laid out for sixty years.

Moreover, once completed, the result would be the fatal blow that pries open the gates of Huaxia.

"Do you really think that Huaxia has remained the same over the years? If I’m not mistaken, this Blood Moon Plan is destined to fail in the end,"

the old woman’s words left the High Priests stunned.

But no one dared question her judgement.

Because everyone knew that this great demoness possessed the ability to transcend time.

She could not only see future events but also fill weapons with demonic power in a unique way.

"The Blood Moon Plan will fail?"

In the hopeful eyes of everyone, the High Priest who had spoken earlier spoke again.

"Master, since you have foreseen the outcome, is there no way to alter this result? After all, the Blood Moon Plan has consumed sixty years, and countless resources, both human and material. Moreover, to cover up this plan, we sacrificed many disciples we’ve cultivated in secret for years. If this plan fails, our losses will be tremendous."

"Do you think that I wish for the plan to fail?"

The old woman, her steps unsteady, walked to a stone trough on one side.

She picked up a goblet filled with a blood-red liquid and drained it in one gulp.

Only after consuming all the liquid did she let out a long breath.

"I have done all that I could, but the strength of this karma is unalterable. Even if we manage to succeed by force, it won’t last more than a few days before being destroyed by the Xuanmen of the adversary, rendering it futile."

The seemingly rejuvenated old woman sat down in a chair.

At this moment, behind the wall with tubes, several young girls lay on cold beds.

The fresh blood trickled from her wrist, dripping into the cup along the tubing.

"Master, should we immediately terminate the plan to minimize the losses?"

The previous High Priest hurried over.

He had filled a cup with the young girl’s blood and now presented it to the old crone.

She drank another cup of fresh blood.

The old woman’s white hair began to turn black.

"No need, some sacrifices are inevitable. Though the Blood Moon plan can’t succeed, it is still the perfect start for the Twilight of the Gods. You follow the method I gave you and get things done as quickly as possible. When the gods descend, the sacrifices of the Blood Moon will have been worth it."

"The Twilight of the Gods... Could it be the apocalyptic summoning of legend?"

Upon hearing this term, several High Priests showed excited expressions.

According to the records, it was the beginning of the end.

Civilizations far superior to this world would come forth.

"Exactly, so don’t take the loss or gain of one city or one land too seriously. We must look further ahead. I’m already in communication with that world; once the Twilight of the Gods is complete, the entire future world will belong to us."

The Demon Enchantress said this with a self-satisfied smile clearly emerging.

Likewise, her formerly aging face was also getting increasingly younger.

"Master’s strategic brilliance is unparalleled; we wish to follow you and await the Twilight of the Gods!"

The previous High Priest quickly knelt on the ground.

The other members joined in, crying out in unison.

"Now the best pawn is the progenitor of the five corpses descending upon the world. If we can secure his aid in the future, our great endeavor may be accomplished. However, even the strongest ally can become a danger if nurtured carelessly. You must set out immediately for Huaxia, and remember, no matter what happens with the Blood Moon plan, you must retrieve the Dragon Bones. The five Dragon Bones are the only way to constrain the progenitor of the five corpses. Only by holding the leash to his life will he work hard for us."

The Demon Enchantress, now looking to be in her forties, stood up.

Her previously corpulent figure had vanished without a trace.

But the girls who had been behind the wall had turned into mummified corpses.

This was the secret to her thousand years of life without turning demonic.

"Yes, we will get on it immediately. Does the Master know the whereabouts of the other Dragon Bones?"

Being devoted followers, they naturally wouldn’t dare to be careless.

They were protected by their special status.

Their actions would not draw any attention.

"The Dragon Bones are sealers of Divine Artifacts and are hard to circulate in the market. Huaxia has nine Ghost Markets; search them all. Once you find them, no matter the cost, bring them back to me. Here is a list, these are contacts I arranged to infiltrate the Ghost Market a hundred years ago; they should be useful now. Especially Nangong Haoqin, my personal disciple, you may contact him for covert support if necessary."

The Demon Enchantress pulled out a list and threw it to the other person.

She then stepped towards another room.

There, several well-dressed young men were tied up.

Having ingested special secret medicines, their eyes were gleaming with the wildness of a beast.

Seeing the Demon Enchantress approach, strange hissing sounds came from their throats.

"Little guys, are you getting impatient? No need to shout, save your energy for later to serve me well!"

With a wave of the Demon Enchantress’s hand, the ropes binding their hands and feet snapped.

With no restraints, the robust men immediately crowded around her.

With multiple hands and feet, they tore the Demon Enchantress’s clothes to shreds.

Those eyes gleaming with a beastly luster and their heaving bodies carried a distinctive youthfulness.

And the Demon Enchantress, surrounded by the group, contentedly enjoyed their touches.

With greedy breaths, the muscular men visibly withered.

But they did not stop their assault.

In less than a few hours, all finally calmed down.

And by the time the Demon Enchantress emerged, she had regained the appearance of her twenties.

If Yang Linglong were to see her now, she would surely be taken aback.

Because she shared a nine-tenths resemblance with Qiuyuan Hongmei.
