Chapter 2308: Heading to Mount Yaluo!

The High Priest quickly departed, and w.a.n.g Chong watched as that ‘woodcutter’ vanished into the dense forests of the mountain.

“Who is he?” Li Xuantu’s voice rang out in w.a.n.g Chong’s mind. He had also been watching as that ‘woodcutter’ left.

“If my ears weren’t fooling me, he must have a rather significant status within the Celestial G.o.d Organization, yes? Why would he take such a huge risk to help you? Can he be trusted?”

w.a.n.g Chong shook his head and sincerely said, “I do not know!”

In truth, he and the Arab High Priest didn’t have a very deep relations.h.i.+p and had even been enemies. The two of them were able to have this conversation entirely because of Origin Supreme.

w.a.n.g Chong didn’t even know the man’s name, let alone his background. Everything about him was an enigma.

But there was one thing w.a.n.g Chong was sure about. In that deciding war between the Great Tang and Arabia, the High Priest had clearly held back. If he had truly been loyal to the Celestial G.o.d Organization, he would not have needed to do such a thing.

w.a.n.g Chong looked in the direction the High Priest had left and said, “But this person can be trusted. It’s enough to know only that.”

Li Xuantu softly grunted.

He didn’t actually trust the Arab High Priest that much, but it was enough that w.a.n.g Chong trusted him.

“What do you plan to do next?” Li Xuantu said.

Mount Yaluo or the capital? w.a.n.g Chong had to decide.

“We have to take a trip to the Turkic steppe. No matter what, we can’t let Heaven get even more Doomsday Insignias. But we also need to know what’s going on in the capital,” w.a.n.g Chong said. He quickly made up his mind.

w.a.n.g Chong had few people that he could command in the capital. The majority of them had been brainwashed and had completely forgotten about w.a.n.g Chong’s existence. Moreover, Young Master Qingyang and Li Siye had probably already been noticed.

w.a.n.g Chong couldn’t use them now, as the risk was too great. But w.a.n.g Chong remembered someone that could silently infiltrate the capital and gather intelligence without being discovered.

“Master!”

A few moments later, another person appeared in front of w.a.n.g Chong. This person wore a mask of black metal across their face.

The faceless man!

The man who had appeared was none other than the faceless man, Zhang Qiantuo.

When w.a.n.g Chong headed off for Sindhu, the faceless man had not been in the capital, so he had managed to avoid being wiped out. Moreover… probably not even Heaven knew about his existence.

w.a.n.g Chong took a few steps forward and said, “Faceless man, I have a mission for you…”

“Yes, the faceless man will obey!”

After hearing that it was connected to the Celestial G.o.d Organization, the faceless man quickly departed.

“We can leave now.”

Once he had made arrangements, w.a.n.g Chong quickly set out with Li Xuantu to the north.

……

Two days soon pa.s.sed.

A thousand feet above the capital, a golden light floated, looking down upon the vast city.

From this height, the dense crowds appeared like flowing rivers, and everything was visible.

“What’s going on? Why has he yet to appear? Did Heaven’s trap not work?”

In the golden light, Essence Supreme muttered to himself as he looked down.

He and Heaven had estimated that w.a.n.g Chong wouldn’t be able to wait this long and should have infiltrated the capital by now.

If w.a.n.g Chong had entered the capital with all his energy restrained, intent on hiding himself, Essence Supreme might not have been able to discover him, but his Supreme Essence Compa.s.s would have had a response. However…

Essence Supreme glanced at the palm-sized golden compa.s.s in his hand and fell silent.

Countless lines intersected on this compa.s.s, creating an elegant golden screen. He had been able to predict that w.a.n.g Chong would appear in the w.a.n.g Family Residence because of this Supreme Essence Compa.s.s, but it had yet to show any sort of reaction this time.

“Grand Supreme, Radiance Supreme, did you notice anything?” Essence Supreme suddenly asked.

After a moment of silence, two halos appeared around Essence Supreme.

Ripples appeared in the air, and two slender figures soon emerged from the halos. One wore a mask with black on the left and white on the right; the other, vice versa. These were none other than Grand Supreme and Radiance Supreme.

The two of them spoke. “Venerable Essence Supreme, we have been watching the city for any movement this entire time but have yet to notice anything.”

Though they were all Supremes, there were still differences in status between them. After the deaths of Firmament Supreme and Genesis Supreme, Essence Supreme had become Heaven’s favorite, his status rising within the organization.

In fact, Essence Supreme was essentially the leader of the Celestial G.o.d Organization now.

“No activity in the King of Foreign Lands Residence or Imperial Palace?” Essence Supreme said after a few moments of silence.

There were still quite a few of w.a.n.g Chong’s subordinates in the capital, and Emperor Li Heng had been placed on the throne by w.a.n.g Chong. w.a.n.g Chong was regarded by the people as a hero of the Great Tang, and he could not simply abandon them.

“No!”

The two of them shook their heads.

“Perhaps he realizes that he’s no match for Heaven and has no intentions of entering.”

“Even husband and wife will flee in separate directions in the face of disaster, and he never really had too close of a connection with them,” Grand Supreme and Radiance Supreme said.

The two of them weren’t surprised about w.a.n.g Chong’s disappearance. In fact, it was only normal that he hadn’t appeared.

At least when it came to their level of cultivation, all they truly cared about was immortality.

“Is that so?”

Essence Supreme frowned. Their argument was not entirely unreasonable, but he felt that this Child of Destruction should have been different from ordinary people.

“Right, Venerable One, what do we do about Luo Supreme?” Grand Supreme suddenly said, his voice tinged with worry. “When he rebelled that time, no one had expected Luo Supreme to be hiding so much power. He is an extremely shrewd schemer and has been concealing an enormous amount of strength. He might not be easy to deal with.”

“Moreover, Luo Supreme is different from Origin Supreme and is not that stubborn. Although we found that his Turkic shaman religion began to decline many years ago, and few shamans and priest wors.h.i.+p him, it is hard to say what the real situation is,” Radiance Supreme added.

The two of them held a great deal of apprehension about Luo Supreme.

Someone good at battle was not necessarily famed for it. For the rebellious Luo Supreme, the more inconspicuous he was, the more dangerous he was.

Essence Supreme came to his senses and turned his attention away from the topic of w.a.n.g Chong.

“You don’t need to worry about that. Heaven has already planned out everything. No matter how strong Luo Supreme is, he cannot compare to Heaven. If he had really been strong enough, he would have formed his own faction rather than continued to hide and feign decline and weakness. But in the end, no matter how he jumped around, he can’t jump out of Heaven’s palm,” Essence Supreme calmly said, briefly pausing for a moment.

“And after so many years, it’s about time to end things.”

Essence Supreme’s words seemed to carry a deeper meaning.

A very, very long time had pa.s.sed since that rebellion. That rebellion had caused the Celestial G.o.d Organization to splinter, the various offshoots suppressing each other. This gave other people opportunities, causing people like Li Taiyi and w.a.n.g Chong to grow arrogant, and even the Purification plan to fail.

Those rebellious Supremes had always been secretly opposing the Celestial G.o.d Organization.

It was high time for things to end. Heaven’s reemergence was inevitable, and no one could stop it.

Origin Supreme was first, Luo Supreme would be second, and Unity Supreme would be next. All the rebels would be cleaned up, and once Heaven broke out of his seal, everything would go back to how it had been. Essence Supreme would join with Heaven in restarting civilization and creating a new batch of Supremes.

“Come on. Once we get Luo Supreme’s two Doomsday Insignias, we can go and deal with Unity Supreme!” Essence Supreme firmly said.

Buzz!

Ripples spread out, and a tall and slender figure walked out of the golden light.

This new figure appeared around eighteen or nineteen, with bright eyes and a handsome appearance. The faint smile on his lips was like a spring breeze, but when this youth raised his head, one would see that he possessed a pair of silver eyes.

While the youth was smiling, his silver eyes were cold and emotionless.

“Venerable One!”

Grand Supreme and Radiance Supreme immediately bowed to the silver-eyed youth.

Essence Supreme had many avatars. Some were human, some were animals, and some were even primordial beasts, but this body was undoubtedly one of Essence Supreme’s strongest avatars. It was clear that Essence Supreme was going all-out to deal with Luo Supreme and was not being as careless as before.

“Mm!”

Essence Supreme nodded. Without another word, he opened his palm, revealing a small golden boat that was around six inches long.

Essence Supreme threw it into the wind, upon which the boat expanded to a length of more than one hundred feet.

Essence Supreme, Grand Supreme, and Radiance Supreme boarded the golden boat. Grotto Heaven Stellar Energy poured into it, and a moment later, the boat vanished into the depths of s.p.a.cetime.

……

In the distant north, a chilly wind blew across the Great Turkic Steppe. It was already possible to see a faint green papering the steppe.

Gra.s.s withered and thrived on the steppe every year!

This was not just true for the steppe after a wildfire, but also true after a cold wave.

After the bitter winter had pa.s.sed, life slowly began to return to the steppe, new buds emerging from deep in the earth. From a distance, one could even see a few shepherds driving along a few cattle or sheep to pasture on the steppe.

The steppe had not completely recovered, and in that disaster, at least ninety percent of the livestock and wild horses on the steppe had been lost. It would require a very long time to fully recover.
