Chapter 717: Being Manipulated for Real
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
Sea Emperor was missing!
After returning to Heaven Realm World, this was the first news Zhou Bao received. He was so shocked that he did not know how to react, except to laugh grimly.
“Sea Emperor is missing? That son of a b.i.t.c.h is missing? Along with the s.p.a.ce he has been imprisoned in?” Zhou Bao shouted at Fate Creation Boy, thoroughly exasperated. “How can it be? He is a prisoner, locked up in your macro world. You’re the Fate Creator of Heaven Realm World, and you’ve successfully refined three divine devices into one. How could you not know where he is!”
“Being a Fate Creator is of no help. He is an Earthly Immortal!” Facing a frenzied and raging Zhou Bao, Fate Creation Boy forced a smile and explained, “An Earthly Immortal is already capable of evolving a macro world. I just recovered my powers and I’ve worked very hard to deal with the invasion of the Alien World so how could I have any time to investigate all the events that happened here?”
“Then what shall I do now? He asked me to kill the Primordial Demon, but I failed to achieve that. Moreover, I’m still a bit traumatized after being lured by the Primordial Demon. What the h.e.l.l!”
“When you accepted this mission, you only promised him that you would do all you could to accomplish it. Now that killing the Primordial Demon is beyond your capability, you don’t have to do it!” Fate Creation Boy said carelessly. “But your concerns are reasonable. Perhaps this guy never really expected you to kill the Primordial Demon. He just wanted you to be lured by the Primordial Demon!”
“You think so, too?”
“Since he isn’t honest with you, you don’t have to be honest with him. Anyway, the Ranking of Demons and Immortals is now in my hands, so you don’t need to be bothered by all these trivia!” Fate Creation Boy said.
“Great, I will stop caring about these trivia, and I won’t kill the Primordial Demon, either!” Zhou Bao said fiercely.
For a Lord of Heaven, figuring out his ident.i.ty was just a piece of cake.
“I heard that someone had opened the pa.s.sageway leading to the Devil Realm in the Infinite Star Sea. Is it true?”
“That was probably done by Marquis Wugu. I saw it happen!” Then, Zhou Bao recounted the whole story about what had occurred on Hidden Dragon Star on that day, to Fate Creation Boy.
“That’s what happened! Right, this is something only Marquis Wugu would do. But don’t be too worried. Although Marquis Wugu is incredibly powerful, at present he is not a match for the 14 macro worlds. The purpose of the strike was just to get in touch with Wu Chen!”
“Are you saying they are plotting something?”
“Absolutely. Wu Chen spared no pains to breed those Devil Fetuses. He let them spread his news to every corner of the Infinite Star Sea, and then opened the Thunder Emperor’s touring abode. As part of his scheme, he released Marquis Wugu. There is something fishy about the whole thing. When Marquis Wugu broke free, the first thing he did was to recover his strength. After that, what he planned to do was simpler—to find Wu Chen. Seems that these two are cooperating very well with each other!”
“Do you think these two are planning to open the pa.s.sageway that leads to the Devil Realm?”
“That’s unlikely. Ripping the pa.s.sageway apart is only a temporary measure, and I believe he has paid a great price for it. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have stopped chasing you. Furthermore, despite sending out the large flock of Fierce Owls, those Fierce Owls didn’t do anything fatal at all. I’m confident that the 14 macro worlds can easily wipe out those Fierce Owls. They were used to buy more time for the two to meet!”
“We both arrived at the same conclusion. Then, the next thing that will happen must be some big move to be made by those Primordial Demons!”
“Don’t be so tense. The Devil Realm is very distant from us. Plus, for creatures like Primordial Demons, it always takes them around a thousand years to turn their plans into real actions. And that’s when they are being efficient. Sometimes, their plans will be delayed for up to 10,000 years, but that’s still a norm to them. Therefore, you can bear it in mind, but there is no need to be overly concerned!”
Fate Creation Boy had an indifferent expression on his face. Then, as if something really funny had occurred to him, he said, “In contrast, what we need to be prepared for is the event of Heaven Realm World!”
“Haven’t you regained your post already? When I got back, I saw that the endless s.p.a.ce was already fully formed, and has turned into an enormous formation. Thus, everything is ready, what more should we prepare for?”
“Prepare the solution for potential ma.s.sive invasions launched by every other macro world!” Fate Creation Boy snapped. “After the willpower of the Immortal Realm descended, do you believe there are merely several Lords of Heaven trying to sneak in? Can that really count as the execution of the willpower of the Immortal Realm? Heaven Realm World has numerous Hidden Treasures and resources. The most important matter is only if one conquers Heaven Realm World, would he be able to restore the pa.s.sageway leading to the Void Immortal Realm and allow countless pract.i.tioners trapped in the Divine Immortal Realm to access the Earthly Immortals’ Great Way. Even if there was no willpower of the Immortal Realm, strong pract.i.tioners in these macro worlds could still take on Heaven Realm World!”
“You’re already the Fate Creator now. Don’t you have a comprehensive knowledge of the Hidden Treasures and resources?”
“I do know about some of the Hidden Treasures, but they’re not of great value. They’re merely heritages left by some small sects in antiquity times to guarantee the survival of their sects. They do not even have any fairy weapons. As for those heritages that can influence the mighty, they’re beyond my exploration. When a man advances to the Earthly Immortals’ Great Way, even a Fate Creator can do nothing about him!”
“I still want to know the whereabouts of those Hidden Treasures. After all, though a mosquito is small, it’s still has a bit of meat. Even if there are no fairy weapons, I will accept some Pure Yang Celestial Devices!” Zhou Bao said conversationally. Nowadays, what he needed most in his Wuyang Region were talents. From what Fate Creation Boy had told him, he could tell that those Hidden Treasure would be of no use to him; but to his subordinates, they could mean all sorts of opportunities and lucky chances. If they obtained the heritage from antiquity times, for one thing, they could level up their strength; for another, they could gain a more orthodox status, right?
“If there is, I’ll tell you. No big deal!” Fate Creation Boy shrugged. As he spoke, he lifted a finger and pointed it at Zhou Bao’s forehead. Meanwhile, Zhou Bao furrowed his brows and pointed his right forefinger at the fingertip of Fate Creation Boy as well, and a stream of secret information was captured by him.
“Sorry. I forgot that nowadays you no longer receive messages in this fas.h.i.+on!”
“Did you forget or were you just testing me? Well, I’ll never find out!” Zhou Bao smiled. “You know, even though I am the Fate Creator of the Azure Big World, this world is still not complete. I do not have full control of it but have to rely on Heaven Realm World. And as you’ve learned, I still want to get some benefits from Heaven Realm World. Thus, you should abandon these kinds of unnecessary tests!”
“Right, you do have a point. I’m being too cautious!” Fate Creation Boy beamed, demonstrating his a.s.sent. “What will you do with these Hidden Treasures?”
“I’ll open some to the public and leave the rest of the good ones to my subordinates. That’s all right, isn’t it?”
“No problem. Based on today’s urgent conditions, it’s a good thing if Heaven Realm World can have more experts. However, this may require the use of your Azure Big World. That Wheel of Time can accelerate the flow of time, which will be quite helpful for them to make faster progress!”
“The Azure Big World and the Supreme Fairy Weapon are my ace cards. I do not want that many people to know about them yet, including my bunch of subordinates. Since you’re the Fate Creator of Heaven Realm World, it should be easy for you to pick a random s.p.a.cetime out of those endless s.p.a.cetimes and change the flow of time in it!”
“I’m not you! I don’t have a fairy weapon like the Wheel of Time!”
“Even though you don’t, you can still manipulate time within Heaven Realm World, especially in a small s.p.a.ce. That is not too hard!”
“I know it’s not hard, but it’s inconvenient and will cost a lot of my energy!”
“I’m not asking you to speed up a long period of time. When my men obtain the Hidden Treasures, the heritages from antiquity times, all they need is to find a place to do some closed-door training to digest what they learn. This won’t consume much energy!” Zhou Bao smiled faintly. “And don’t forget I am also a Fate Creator. In the endless s.p.a.cetime inside the Azure Big World, I can also modify the flow of time and make it go faster!”
“Well, seems that I can’t keep anything from you. Fine, I accept your deal!” In front of Zhou Bao, Fate Creation Boy had no other choice but to agree with him. Although Fate Creation Boy had become the Fate Creator of Heaven Realm World, given that Heaven Realm World had now turned into a target for all, without the backup of a powerful pract.i.tioner like Zhou Bao, this world would probably meet its downfall even though he had sc.r.a.ped together all the pieces of the Fairy Weapon of Fate.
In Heaven Realm World, the items left by the people in antiquity times, such as Vast Sea Emperor, was of no use to Fate Creation Boy. Now, the only one who could help and would help him was Zhou Bao. At present, Zhou Bao had just reached the Human Immortal Realm, but Fate Creation Boy knew perfectly well that the combat capability of this young man was already on par with a prime Divine Immortal. With the fairy weapons he possessed, Zhou Bao could provide him with great a.s.sistance. Apart from Zhou Bao, Fate Creation Boy also attached importance to the small group comprising of Zhou Bao, w.a.n.g She, and Child-endowing Buddha. The latter two were both Eight-tribulation True Immortals with a combat capability at the peak of the Lord of Heaven Realm. If they were lucky, they could perform at the power of the Divine Immortal Realm as well. These things were the crucial points Fate Creation Boy really cared about. As for those small Hidden Treasures, he truly did not bother procuring them. As a Fate Creator, those things were like pa.s.sing clouds to him, because he could always find out more. If he had to give them to someone, it was better to give them to Zhou Bao. In this way, Zhou Bao would be more willing to help him. Otherwise, he might not get the help he needed. Now, the help provided by the several super sects in Heaven Realm World was not even close to what Zhou Bao could bring him.
“I’ll open three Hidden Treasures for all the sects and pract.i.tioners in Heaven Realm World to explore and try out the Divine Fate. The others will be left to my subordinates. You don’t mind that, do you?”
“No, I don’t. Fate Creation Boy answered, without thinking.
