Chapter 55 The Mastermind Behind the Scenes - The Strongest One Arrives?
Chapter 55 The Mastermind Behind the Scenes - The Strongest One Arrives?
Having learned the complete background of the Thirteen Divine Generals, two doubts arise in your mind.
[My first question is, even if the Thirteen Divine Generals were enslaved, which is why they killed you, how did they escape from the three Immortal Kings when they only had the strength to barely be granted the title of Marquis?]
[The second question: Who is the mastermind behind this?]
[Even three immortal gods who had been granted the title of King couldn't stop it; the one controlling the thirteen divine generals was at least at the pseudo-King level of invincibility.]
You couldn't help but think back; none of the simulations before the auction had resulted in this unexpected event, suggesting that the unforeseen circumstances arose after you attended the auction.
There was indeed something suspicious about the auction. This unexpected turn of events is very likely related to the mysterious, immortal deity who bid on the 'metal plate'.
[Something strange is going on: an ordinary metal plate, yet an ordinary immortal god repeatedly offered such high prices for it.]
[You acted recklessly in the simulator, so you decided to confront your teacher, the Lord of Qianwu Kingdom, directly. You recounted the strange events you encountered at the auction and suspected that the mysterious immortal deity was behind it all.]
Upon hearing this, the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom did not ask any further questions but immediately took swift and decisive action. Using his privilege as the ruler of the universe, he retrieved the identity information of that immortal deity.
[Name: Karon, Blade Clan, Immortal God, Assets: 1200 Mixed Yuan Units, Residence: ...]
The moment the news was discovered, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom personally set off, only to find it empty.
Having obtained this information, you already have a plan in mind. At the very beginning of the next simulation, confront your teacher, the Lord of Qianwu Kingdom.
[If we still can't catch the opponent even if we go early for the next simulation, then we'll have the Lord of the Qianwu Kingdom personally come to Earth to stake out the location.]
[Let's see why the thirteen generals betrayed us, and who the real culprit is!]
You have finished this simulation!
Simulation ended...
Li Yang's brows slowly relaxed.
Without the life-or-death crisis, the pressure dissipated overnight.
Next time we'll have Teacher Qianwu stake out the place. I don't believe the other side can slip away right under the nose of the Space Venerable.
Thinking this, he couldn't help but feel hopeful and curious about why he was killed in the simulator. Was it really related to that 'metal plate'?
The actual item has already arrived; it's just an ordinary metal plate with spatial law patterns engraved on it.
Could it be the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual?
With a sense of doubt, Li Yang started the Nth simulation.
[Consumes 1 Mixed Yuan Unit - Simulation Time 10 Years.]
[Year One, the Strongest One Arrives!]
[You were startled by the title, thinking, "Could it be 'Sitting on the Mountain'?"]
On the first day, you went directly to the King of Qianwu Kingdom and reported that someone wanted to assassinate you.
The ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom was furious. Because of the previous experience of capturing the Zerg Queen, he did not doubt your story.
You informed your teacher, the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom, of the identity of the Blade Clan's immortal god. You also reminded him that if he couldn't find the god in his place of residence, he shouldn't force an investigation; he could simply come to Earth and stake out the location.
The ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom was completely convinced, and at the same time, a little excited. Last time, after listening to your advice, he captured the Zerg Queen alive and made a fortune. This time…
[We were very unlucky this time; we didn't find any trace of immortal gods on that planet.]
The ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom used a spatial technique to conceal himself, hiding in a corner of the solar system, waiting for his disciple to bait him.
The next day, everything was peaceful, and the thirteen divine generals remained unchanged.
On the third day, the Thirteen Divine Generals summoned a trusted realm lord and instructed him to warn the guild in the online game that was opposing Li Yang.
The trusted realm lord of the thirteen divine generals immediately received his orders and left Earth.
Everything seems normal!
However, from the perspective of the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom, a different story unfolds.
He activated virtual cosmic synchronous teleportation, sending the images he captured using spatial magic to your email address.
You clicked to view it, and were immediately stunned.
[On the first day, a cargo ship entered through a wormhole in the solar system. That cargo ship was the same dark black cargo ship you were on in reality when you fled.]
The spaceship's cargo hold was piled high with supplies, mostly everyday necessities from space.
The camera focuses on a rectangular blue package, revealing a specific address: a military camp outside Kunlun Mountain, where the 89th Army is stationed, along with a squad of Realm Lord-level guards brought by the Thirteen Divine Generals.
[The spaceship landed on Earth, and the blue package was taken by a realm lord.]
[You discovered that the Realm Lord was a personal guard of the Thirteen Divine Generals, a peak Realm Lord who had obtained the Law of Earth.]
[Then, as the realm lord opened the package, the perspective suddenly changed!]
[In the scene, a speck of dust appears, precisely adhering to the armor of the realm lord. Further on, the realm lord is summoned by the thirteen divine generals.]
[You speed up your viewing, and sure enough, the speck of dust landed in the palace where the thirteen divine generals were located.]
At this moment—Micro Dust is still in the palace of the Thirteen Divine Generals!
[You immediately realize that the speck of dust was likely transformed from a powerful being, and there aren't many races with such talent... The Demon Slayer Clan is one of them.]
The many questions that linger in your mind will now be answered, forming a coherent logical thread.
A powerful member of the Demon Slayer Clan infiltrated the area, disguised himself as one of the Thirteen Divine Generals, successfully assassinated him, and then framed the Thirteen Divine Generals.
This also explains why the opponent was able to escape from three immortal gods who had reached the King level. The Demon Slayer Clan's innate "Domain" ability is extremely abnormal, allowing them to teleport even on the Primordial Star.
Even with spatial sealing, it might not be enough to stop them.
[In the future, when Luo Feng was on Ice Prison Star, the Demon Slayer Clan avatar, at the World Lord level, completely outmaneuvered the Universe Venerable. Meanwhile, Venerable Qingdou Kou, possessing a hundredfold increase in genetic power, had combat strength reaching the level of a Universe Overlord.]
[This shows just how cunning the Demon Slayer Clan is!]
[You're curious about how the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom discovered the other person.]
The ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom said proudly, "I possess a top-tier treasure that can detect the aura of alien races. Anyone below the Venerable level has nowhere to hide from it. Its value surpasses even ordinary supreme treasure armor."
You secretly guessed that your teacher definitely couldn't afford such a treasure. That top-tier domain-level treasure was most likely a gift from your race to the rulers of various cosmic nations to guard their territories.
On the fourth day, to ensure the capture of the Demon Slayer Clan's immortal god alive, the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler specially invited two Golden Horn Clan Universe Venerables to assist him.
[The two Cosmic Venerables of the Golden Horn Clan, one wields a powerful sealing artifact, and the other uses artifact-enhancing combat boots.]
[Everything is ready—at the command of the King of Qianwu, prepare to act!]
【Om—】
[The black and white diagram instantly covered an area of 100,000 kilometers, followed by a pyramid-shaped, powerful sealing artifact that enveloped the entire Earth.]
"Haha—Alien, you can't escape!"
[Qian Wu laughed loudly. Space was sealed, time had stopped, and the immortal god of the Demon Slayer Clan was doomed!]
The tiny speck of dust trembled slightly, transforming into a sinister-looking man who exclaimed, "My lord, I've found the metal plate! The shaman wants to kill me!"
[In the remote, mysterious realm of Latnia, outside a wormhole, a flash of black light revealed a slender figure with a black mark between its brows.]
[The black figure sensed the coordinates of the token and immediately activated the Divine Kingdom Inheritance!]
[Swish—]
[The next moment, millions of black phantoms emerged from the solar system, instantly shattering the supreme domain treasure of the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler.]
[The ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom? The Venerable One of the Golden Horn Clan?]
"The Lord of the Thousand Shadows Palace!"
"The cosmic overlords of the Demon Slayer Clan?"
"Arrogant! How dare you trespass on my territory! Venerable Thousand Shadows, today I will ensure you never return!"
The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom was furious.
Sneaking in like that would be giving him face, but blatantly barging in and causing trouble is just slapping him in the face.
"You think you can stop me?"
[The moment the Thousand Shadows Temple opened, it instantly absorbed the Earth, including Li Yang's physical body, the metal plate, the thirteen divine generals, the immortal gods of the Demon Slayer Clan, and billions of people on Earth.]
