998 How Unlucky Can One Ge (2/2)
Shu Jun opened up his embrace and revealed his skinny torso. Due to his consciousness not being fully recovered, the corporeal body he visualized was as skinny as a matchstick and showed two rows of his ribs. He said, ”I didn't want to stay in the Paramita World because I want to know whether the Grand Emperor is still in the celestial heavens. However, it's also because I know I have no use there. All of the power and authority in the Paramita World are firmly in Divine King Lang Wo's hands. Even if she wanted to leave the Paramita World with you, I wouldn't be able to take away any power or authority.”
He smiled. ”Isn't it the same for you? Think about it carefully, your reputation is great among the masters of creation, but do you have any power or authority? Can you mobilize the clans?”
Qin Mu sighed and shook his head. ”No, the reason I am the holy infant is because of her manipulation. If she wanted to get rid of my kingship and status, it would be easy for her.”
Divine King Lang Wo frowned and gently said, ”I won't use my consciousness to probe other's thoughts again.”
”Better not.”
Qin Mu sincerely said, ”This isn't the Paramita World or Carefree Village. This is the celestial heavens, where danger lurks around every corner. Every Celestial Venerable here has power equivalent to or higher than that of Founding Emperor. Celestial Emperor and the Grand Emperor are among them too. Countless ancient gods take note of this place too. If you use your consciousness casually, you can reveal your identity easily. I treat you sincerely, and I hope to be treated in the same way.”
Divine King Lang Wo nodded.
Qin Mu gave a sigh of relief and smiled. ”I will let Ling'er arrange your rooms for you. Although we likely can't stay here for long, at least we will have a place to stay. After you are familiarized with the place, we will find your ancestral court.”
He summoned Hu Ling'er and ordered her. She then took them to pick their rooms. After she was done, Qin Mu looked for her again to ask about Eternal Peace.
”Our shipyards took over the work from the Patriarch Creation Palace and built various components to the Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridge. We built a lot of them in two years, and at a low price too. The celestial heavens' Dao Sect came to examine everything and said that the algebra was precise with minimal errors.”
Hu Ling'er said, ”Now that our reputation is out there and we earned quite a lot, the celestial heavens' Dao Sect contracted us to design divine weapons for them. Our shipyards kept on working regardless of time to build them. Of course, we only received a small portion of the jobs. After all, besides us, there are a lot of other heavens helping the celestial heavens forge divine weapons, causing us to only receive a small portion of the jobs.”
”Soon, there will be more.”
Qin Mu said, ”Everything looks peaceful here, but war will come soon. Carefree Village will act, and Heaven Duke, Earth Count, and the four deities of the four poles will face the celestial heavens. While they are still not deployed, they are gathering rations and weapons. If the celestial heavens want to touch these powers, they will have to prepare weapons to prevent shortages on the battlefield.
He trudged around, saying, ”When the celestial heavens open the Great Void up as a battlefield, the casualties will mount. When that happens, too many heavy divine weapons will be damaged, and the shipyards of the celestial heavens and various great heavens won't be able to keep up. At that time, Eternal Peace will be permitted to build them. More wars means that more fortune will flow towards Eternal Peace at a faster rate. Less fortune will then be available for the other heavens, and more rebellions will come from them.”
Hu Ling'er asked, ”When are you returning to Eternal Peace?”
Qin Mu hesitated and replied, ”I can't go back for now. If I stay here, Eternal Peace will be safer. If I go there, Eternal Peace will be exposed to more danger.”
”Celestial Venerable, Yun Chuxiu of the Yun family asks for an audience!” a maid outside said.
'Yun Chuxiu? Isn't she dead? Wasn't she cut down by Divine Knife Luo and thrown under the Void Bridge? Did Mistress Yuanmu create another Yun Chuxiu?'
Qin Mu felt his head aching. The Great Void was perilous, and Mistress Yuanmu had likely suffered enough there to not enter it again.
As long as she didn't enter the Great Void, she wouldn't know what Yun Chuxiu met and saw. She wouldn't know about Luo Wushuang's betrayal either.
Mistress Yuanmu likely created another Yun Chuxiu to scout him out after hearing about his return.
However, if Yun Chuxiu came and saw Divine King Lang Wo…
'No!'
Qin Mu waved and said, ”Chase her away.”
At that moment, he heard Yun Chuxiu. ”Celestial Venerable Mu, how cruel of you to chase me away. Did you forget our love at the Jade Pool?”
Qin Mu was furious. She barged into a Celestial Venerable Residence and was spouting nonsense. However, he needed Mistress Yuanmu to survive in the celestial heavens.
Yun Chuxiu's laughter pierced his ear as she said, ”We found true love when suffering together in the Great Void, are you really going to be so heartless? Ee, who are you?”
Qin Mu's heart jumped as he walked out. He saw two ”Jue Wuchens” staring at each other. One of them was Yun Chuxiu, and the other was Divine King Lang Wo.
'How unlucky can I get…'
Qin Mu clenched his teeth and was about to walk forward when Yun Chuxiu laughed coldly. ”Is this you, Sister? Where did you steal the blueprint for Jue Wuchen? Only I had it!”
At that moment, another female god reported, ”Celestial Venerable, the disciple of Celestial Venerable Hao, Lian Huahun, pleads for an audience.”
Qin Mu's eyes jumped. Celestial Empress was there too!
Obviously, Celestial Empress came to scout him out after hearing about his safe return to the celestial heavens from the Great Void!
Yun Chuxiu was shocked as she dazedly looked at Divine King Lang Wo. If this nearly identical-looking lady wasn't a clone of Celestial Empress, then who was she?
”Please,” Qin Mu said effortlessly.
