826 Laying the Cards on the Table (2/2)
Zhou Bao knew that after this battle, his name would inevitably spread throughout the Void Universe. Be it the ones who knew him or those who did not, they would weigh in the depths of their hearts whether it was a wise choice to oppose him when they heard of his name. If they did not have a deep hatred towards him and could clam themselves down, they know better than to provoke him.
Sometimes, a ferocious name was an advantage as it would deter others from provoking you.
However, he could not walk away from this problem.
Just as what Emperor Baiqi had said, he was the Tribulation Taker and was unable to escape from it. In this case, he could do nothing but brace himself to face such a situation.
”Whether this tribulation likens to the legendary Dharma Ending Tribulation or not, the key lies in the Heaven Realm World. The reason that all of this had taken place is that the Devil Realm and the various macro or micro worlds in the Void Universe are searching for the passageway leading to the Void Immortal Realm. Therefore, as it stands, the Heaven Realm World is the key. Presently, the situation involving the tripartite confrontation in the Heaven Realm World has emerged as a war of attrition. Both the Holy Alliance and other influences in the Void Universe had begun to send more troops into the Heaven Realm World. With Marquis Zhihai leading a large group of Devil Tribesmen, the ordinary practitioners are simply no match for them. Without the Sea-overlooking Gate Tower to protect the Falling Star Reef, it might be broken through. The existence of the Sea-overlooking Gate Tower deters the Devil Tribe and other worlds. They would not dare to provoke the Falling Star Reef but can only attempt to wear down its military strength. However, all these parties are not fools and should not be trifled with. Under these circumstances, they may probably reach a compromise!”
At the thought of this, Zhou Bao felt that he had a slight headache. He was not afraid of them fighting each other. What he feared was that they might reach a compromise and come to a covert agreement. In such a scenario, he might become a victim.
After all, it was he who messed up the Celestial Mystery Emperor's plans. If the latter desperately wanted to open the passageway to the Void Immortal Realm and let the other two parties cause trouble, he would have brought upon serious trouble for himself.
”It's impossible!” Standing beside and seeing Zhou Bao's worry on his face, the Ghost Child looked blank at first but soon laughed and said, ”The Celestial Mystery Emperor's party is waiting to entrap the Devil Tribe. They would not compromise until the big cheeses of the Devil Tribe appear. Even if these heavyweights show up, the two sides must put up a desperate fight!”
”Are you sure?!”
”Their purpose is to, of course, lure the few Devil Emperors from the Devil Tribe who are most likely to step into the Celestial Immortal's Way into the Heaven Realm World. They will then banish them to the Alien Universe. Even if these Devil Emperors do not die here, it will be extremely hard for them to find a way back into the Void Universe!”
”The Alien Universe? The one that is outside of the Void Universe?!” Zhou Bao nodded his head. ”They have been thinking this idea?! How can I forget that? However, there are different ways to seduce them here. This can also be settled through negotiation. It is not a bad idea to lure those powerful Devil Emperors here!”
”Not everyone is as treacherous as you are!” Upon hearing Zhou Bao's words, the Ghost Child looked helpless. ”Even if they are, those Devil Emperors will not be tricked so easily!”
”If the purpose of the Devil Tribe is to find the passageway of the Void Immortal Realm, they will take the bait so easily. Do they really believe that they can occupy the Void Immortal Realm with the help of the two Earthly Immortals—Marquis Wugu and Marquis Zhihai—together with a pack of Fierce Owls? Will the Old Weirdos who have immersed themselves in the single-minded practice in the Void Immortal Realm let them run amok?”
”You mean...!” The Ghost Child was shocked after Zhou Bao reminded him. He seemed to realize something and looked at the latter in astonishment.
”Since the Celestial Mystery Emperor's party wanted to banish the big shots in the Devil Tribe, they will wait for them. They are not afraid that the passageway of the Void Immortal Realm will be discovered. Rather, they are afraid that this incident will occur when they are not well-prepared. That is why they are using the Sea-overlooking Gate Tower to resist the Devil Tribe. Once ready, they will let the Devil Tribe enter the Heaven Realm World!”
”What sort of preparations will they make then?”
”I don't know, but don't forget that the Child-endowing Buddha is still in the Heaven Realm World. He is the descendant of the Primordial Fierce Beast—Ghost Flood Dragon. Thus, he can control the Chakra of the Void Universe. I guess when the time is right, the Sea-overlooking Gate Tower will be defeated and the Celestial Mystery Emperor will target me. He will use this Supreme Fairy Weapon to pursue my Black Pearl. Apart from this Supreme Fairy Weapon, other Supreme Fairy Weapons may join in the fray and by then, a fierce battle will ensue!”
”You are thinking to ruin their plan?”
”Sure, now that we are enemies, I would not show any mercy!” Zhou Bao's face darkened. ”Do you think I am very kind-hearted?”
”What are you going to do?”
”I'll divulge their plan and tell every one of Celestial Mystery Emperor's plot. I will, of course, polish their plan; the Celestial Mystery Emperor's purpose is not only the Devil Tribe but also other influences in the Void Universe. He plans to use the passageway to the Void Immortal Realm as bait to wipe out the elites from the Devil Realm and the various influences in the Void Universe so that he can restore the glory of the Heaven Realm World in antiquity times. Moreover, he prepares to re-establish the Heavenly Court!” Zhou Bao stressed every word he said in a sinister way.
