Chapter 494: Cause and Effect, Betting on Both Sides

Above time, a sigh echoed faintly, disturbing countless phantoms who were trying to swim upstream.

Even Chen Xingzhi, who was wandering here, was slightly startled. As a former guest of the Qiongming Palace, he naturally knew who the sigh came from.

“Why does the Heavenly Lord sigh?”

He whispered something, but received no response. However, he saw the aura of disaster that permeated the long river of time becoming restless.

As if a blessing had come to him, he cast his gaze to a place in the long river of time and witnessed the demise of the Shen’ao clan.

Similarly, he also heard Shen Ao’s last question and knew the reason why Tianzun sighed.

“The Heavenly Venerable wants everyone to be like a dragon, so that more creatures can be promoted to the eighth level, rather than letting the current eighth level dominate alone.”

Chen Xingzhi shook his head slightly. He knew that Tianzun was already dissatisfied with the current situation and wanted to change the status quo where the eighth level was wantonly destroying the clan.

This is bound to affect the interests of each eighth-level race, and they can no longer interfere with the development of the myriad races in the prehistoric world as they did in the past.

As for how to curb it specifically, this part of the work also requires his participation.

Wan Yan Daojun, the eighth-level who ran into the gun barrel, became the first test subject to test the backlash method he developed – bloody luck.

He poured the restless calamity energy into the soul of Shen Ao, where it merged with the luck of the Shen Ao clan it carried, forming a bloody luck that was enough to pollute the innate immortal spiritual light.

This kind of luck is the most vicious. Even if it is the innate immortal spiritual light of the eighth level, once it is infected, it will be difficult to get rid of it, and the spiritual light will be constantly corroded by it.

In addition, the blood luck has other uses. Once activated, it will protect the remaining blood of the race and make it rapidly stronger.

“It’s a pity for the Shen’ao clan. The last bloodline is not right. There is really only one bloodline left.” Chen Xingzhi followed the remaining bloody aura of the Shen’ao clan and moved his sight to a dim cave.

In this large cave, a divine turtle egg swayed slightly, regaining vitality under the nourishment of the bloody aura.

There is no doubt that this is the last bloodline of the Shen’ao clan.

“The blood luck of the whole clan has all been gathered on this little fellow. Coupled with his extraordinary bloodline, I’m sure he will have great potential after he is born, but he will also make a lot of noise. Never mind, I’ll just help you.”

Chen Xingzhi thought about it, and used the calamity energy as a medium to set up a formation.

This formation is enough to conceal most of the noise when the descendant of the Divine Aurora is born, so that it will not face the difficulty of hell as soon as it is born.

It’s just that it is destined to encounter a disaster in the future, and this disaster will happen to Taoist Master Wan Yan.

The hatred of genocide is irreconcilable, and it is destined to suffer this disaster as it has inherited this bloody fate.

Chen Xingzhi had no intention of intervening in this matter. After all, he owed nothing to the Shen’ao clan, so there was no need for him to get involved in the dispute between it and Wan Yan Daojun.

Wan Yan Daojun’s situation is not very ideal.

The bloody aura generated after the Shen Ao exterminated the clan was still chasing him. A small part of his innate immortal spiritual light had been covered by blood and no longer glowed.

What’s worse, he felt that the entire ancient world had a certain kind of rejection of him, and his understanding of the rules of heaven and earth was not as smooth as before.

As if he was bound by some invisible shackles, he always felt that something was entangled with him.

If it were an ordinary person, they would probably think it was an illusion, but Wan Yan Daojun was at the eighth level, and he trusted his intuition just as he trusted his sword. After a thorough inspection, he discovered invisible threads entangled in his innate immortal aura, and it was these threads that bound him.

“Is this a causal line?” Wan Yan Daojun frowned, “But who can set up a causal line of this strength for me?”

Following a line of cause and effect, he saw a fog that was pregnant with disaster.

The fog obscured his vision, making him unable to see the existence on the other end of the causal line now, but he was certain that he would encounter the disaster on the other end in the future.

Daoist Wan Yan was silent for a moment, and tried to tear apart the causal lines that were entangled with himself, but failed. He found that these causal lines were much tougher than he thought.

If you force it to break, the cost will outweigh the gain. Not only will you suffer backlash, but you may also be excluded from the long river of time and will no longer be able to interfere in the affairs of this era.

Suddenly remembering the last words of Shen Ao before his death, he vaguely felt that this matter might be related to the genocide of Shen Ao and even Tianzun.

“Could it be that my act of exterminating the clan caused the displeasure of the Heavenly Lord?”

He only dared to think about this in his heart. After all, he was not like Shen Ao, a man who was about to die and dared to say anything.

However, this inspired him, and he felt that he needed to remind the other eighth-level people in the Ten Thousand Races Alliance to prevent others from being stained with bloody fate like himself.

Especially those eighth-level ones who, like him, are carrying out the mission of genocide.

When he told his fellow Taoists the news, all he got was silence.

A bad premonition suddenly appeared in his heart, and Wan Yan Daojun asked tentatively: “Did you all fall for it?”

“That’s right, you said it too late. We are all entangled in karma now, and our innate immortal aura has also been contaminated by the blood-colored luck.”

A Taoist said helplessly.

They have all completed their respective tasks and destroyed one race after another that joined the Yunhai Divine Court and had no eighth-level leader.

Because of this, the causes and effects on them are more numerous than one another, and their innate immortal spiritual light has also been polluted to varying degrees. The one with the most serious problem even had to go into seclusion and focus on clearing out the bloody aura.

After listening to their story, Daoist Master Wan Yan was silent for a moment, realizing that the prehistoric world had changed, and even they, who were at the eighth level, could no longer act recklessly.

Even weak races have the ability to disgust others before their demise, not to mention that they will be despised by the world after committing genocide.

“Perhaps we can use this to plot against Yunhai Divine Court,” an eighth-rank person suggested, “As long as we guide them to exterminate their clan, we can let them experience what we went through.”

Daoist Master Wan Yan was not optimistic about this approach, because not long ago, Great Master Yun Hai had issued repeated orders prohibiting the Eighth Rank of the Divine Court from wantonly slaughtering those races that did not have an Eighth Rank in charge.

This news came from his incarnation in the Divine Court, which meant that the Divine Court had already noticed the changes in the ancient world.

“What do you think of my idea?” the eighth-level man asked again, but he was actually secretly observing everyone’s reactions.

He was certain that someone in the Ten Thousand Races Alliance was betting on both sides, and this proposal was also to test Daojun Wan Yan and others.

“I have no objection.” Several eighth-level people said so. As for how many of them did not bet on both sides, it was unknown.

The Level 8 person who proposed it didn’t say anything. In fact, he was also one of those who bet on both sides, so he naturally knew that this idea would not succeed.
