837 A Successful Rescue! (1/2)
The Celestial Mystery Emperor's plan was grand and meticulous. Although each step was closely linked to the next one, the links were not designed as simply as one might assume. Even if one of the links broke, his plan would not be hindered. Otherwise, he would not be called the Celestial Mystery Emperor. His plan was constituted by several complementary but independent steps. If one went wrong, another one would replace it and keep the whole chain intact. This was his style. This was the means and power he would use.
The rumors Zhou Bao spread had ruined one of the steps, but soon another one substituted it. Or one could say there was no substitution at all because the situation pushed him to quickly proceed to the next step.
”If I sabotage another step in his plan by making the Black Pearl absorb all the essence of the two exploded macro worlds, will I trigger the Celestial Mystery Emperor's third step?”
”I don't know. But I believe only a dumbass would let go of a profit, let alone such a huge one!” Ghost Child said.
”You do have a point. Okay, should we get out of here now or not?”
”We still have time. Although the seven devils are pretty powerful, they still need a lot of time to break through the defense of the Sea-overlooking Gate Tower and force its macro world to implode. This should be enough time for us to find the Child-endowing Buddha!”
”First, we should pin down the location of the macro world that is about to blast!”
”I can find it!” Ghost Child shouted. ”This place is soaked in deadly spirit. I'm highly sensitive to this kind of spirit. It won't be hard to find him if we follow the spirit!”
”I hope so!” Zhou Bao muttered to himself. Following Ghost Child's directions, he zigzagged through the labyrinth-like Tower for quite a while before finally reaching his destination.
This was the only place where you could find living creatures.
The living creatures here were actually Grand Demons in the Lord of Heaven Realm. They were subordinates of the Sea Emperor, who had domineered the Sea Area for thousands of years. Also, these Grand Demons were important figures in the Sea Area Demon tribe's power structure.
These Grand Demons were so powerful that they could shake the entire Sea Area with a random stomp. But none of them looked happy now. In fact, they were maintaining a wondrous magic formation, and at the center of this magic formation was a drop of water.
This glittering and translucent droplet looked quite normal, but in Zhou Bao's eyes, it was a precious treasure that made his eyes light up with lust.
”This must be it. The Sea-overlooking Gate Tower's macro world must be that droplet, right?” Zhou Bao asked with excitement.
”Right, it's the drop of water. This is the macro world of the Sea-overlooking Gate Tower—the Sea Emperor World!” Ghost Child answered. ”It's a dying macro world, which is very tricky!”
”I don't have that much time to think!” As he spoke, a loud bang spread from the hall, causing it to tremble. Apparently, the Devil Tribe had launched another fierce attack outside. The Grand Demons' expressions altered, their attention shifted to the bombarding noise momentarily. At this precise moment, Zhou Bao dashed into the Sea Emperor World.
The Sea Emperor World was a dying macro world approaching its ultimate ending. Zhou Bao had felt it from the outside. When he entered the Sea Emperor World, this feeling became stronger. All the Dharma seemed to have come to an end. Although Zhou Bao was only in this world for a few seconds, he felt that he had aged several years.
”Holy crap, how twisted is this! By the way, since the Sea Emperor World is the Vast Sea Emperor's territory, he is supposed to be the Fate Creator. We sneak in like this, he must have noticed, right?”
”Notice what fu*k!” Ghost Child cursed dismissively. ”The Sea Emperor World has no Fate Creator. It is a dying macro world. Even if it had a Fate Creator, he must have fled to start his reincarnation or revive in a new guise. He will cut off all the connections with this macro world or risk perishing together with it. The Vast Sea Emperor is just the controller. I'm certain he won't be patrolling this World because the dying Qi here could impact him.”
”In other words, we can do anything we want here, right?”
”Yes, we can. But since it has already declined to this extent, it is too fragile to take a blow. If you continue much longer, you might ruin it. We'd better go and find the Child-endowing Buddha first! Are you sure he is really here?”
”He has to be here! I've sensed his spirit!”
In fact, Zhou Bao could have done a thorough search with his sweeping divine thoughts. However, given that the Sea Emperor World was on the verge of collapsing; the endless spacetime around it was seriously broken, and rich death Qi implying that death was about to descend permeated every corner; Zhou Bao's divine thoughts could not penetrate that far away. But thanks to the green lamp he carried, which had accompanied the Child-endowing Buddha for more than a million years and possessed an inseparable connection with him, Zhou Bao could vaguely sense the Child-endowing Buddha's current whereabouts.
Although the whole world was filled with thick dying Qi which divine thoughts could not penetrate through, Zhou Bao had a general idea of the Child-endowing Buddha's location in mind. He went in that direction and found him quickly.
