Mother World of All Things, Old Acquaintance?
Inside the Nanming Volcano, Yuanfeng pondered deeply about the grand plan for the race.
Meanwhile, on Penglai Immortal Island, in the Ling Xiao Palace, Ling Xiao sat high above, expressionless as he looked at Luo Chuan kneeling below.
"Tell me, what happened last time? Did you intend to use Ba Tianxing to kill me?"
Ling Xiao spoke calmly, settling the aftermath, and discovered Luo Chuan's ulterior motives.
"Your Dao Venerable, are truly wise. I had no such intention whatsoever; Heaven and Earth, the sun and moon, bear witness."
"I really didn't intend to do that. It was a complete accident. Who could have imagined that guy would break through?"
"It's my fault, it's all my fault, I didn't consider this..."
Luo Chuan hurriedly explained, nearly wetting himself in fright. He held firm to his principles, daring not to harbor any ill intentions, lest Ling Xiao discover them.
"Hehe..." Ling Xiao sneered, looking at Luo Chuan's sophistry with amusement, an invisible killing intent emanating from him as he considered how to deal with this person.
This thing is utterly useless, yet too good to throw away.
Although it's not entirely honest, it's not completely useless.
Otherwise, Ling Xiao would have slapped him long ago.
Luo Chuan felt a chill run down his spine, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and despair was spreading through him.
"It's over, it's over, karma has come, the cycle of Karma is about to begin, reckoning is coming!"
Luo Chuan cried out in his heart, begging and pleading, filled with regret. His little thought had led to his death.
That was really wrong!
He shouldn't have been so foolish as to try and play those petty tricks.
Unfortunately, life cannot be relived, Ling Xiao wanted to kill him.
Luo Chuan trembled all over, his face filled with despair, and he looked so pale he was about to cry.
Suddenly, the murderous aura surrounding him dissipated. Luo Chuan was startled and looked at Ling Xiao with a puzzled expression, a glimmer of hope appearing in his eyes.
"Get up. This is a one-time exception. I'll give you one more chance, but if there's a next time, I will kill you without mercy."
Ling Xiao said calmly, ultimately deciding to spare Luo Chuan's life, since he was the only prisoner left in the True Realm.
Only through him can one learn something about the Origin True Realm.
More importantly, Ling Xiao needs Luo Chuan as his vanguard to help him find other great worlds.
Upon hearing Ling Xiao's words, Luo Chuan was overjoyed, his face beaming with excitement.
"Thank you for your Dao Venerable. From now on, Luo Chuan will fight for you wholeheartedly and without any disloyalty!"
Luo Chuan bowed deeply, overwhelmed with gratitude. He felt as if he had been reborn after surviving the ordeal, completely transformed.
And he secretly vowed that he would never act recklessly again and would do his job properly.
"Luo Chuan, I intend to continue the attack. Do you have any suggestions?"
Ling Xiao slowly opened his mouth and got down to business. Due to the pressure of the Origin-Devouring Beast' evolution and the need to strengthen the Primordial World, he had to continue expanding no matter what.
This may have negative consequences, but the die is cast and the die must be cast.
Not fighting is tantamount to waiting to die.
Who knows when Wan Qianqiu will make his move?
"Uh... my suggestion is... feasible!" After a slight hesitation, Luo Chuan nodded emphatically, indicating his approval.
Just do it, that's all. How can a subordinate oppose the decisions made by their superiors?
"Do you have a suitable target?" Ling Xiao asked.
"Ideally, he should be Wan Qianqiu's lackey."
He then added a sentence.
Luo Chuan looked thoughtful, racking his brains. Soon, a look of joy appeared on his face. "I've got it! I've got it!"
"Tell me about it!" Ling Xiao said with interest.
Luo Chuan nodded and eagerly asked, "Does Your Dao Venerable still remember the Mother Sword of All Things? The sword once used by the Seven-Colored True Lord?"
"I remember." Ling Xiao nodded.
"If you remember, that makes things easier. I once went to a world with the Seven-Colored True Lord. That world was called the Mother World of All Things, a matriarchal world with only women and no men. The ruler was a female deity named the Origin Mother."
"The Seven-Colored True Lord's Mother Sword of All Things was given to him by the Origin Mother."
Luo Chuan excitedly introduced the situation, which puzzled Ling Xiao greatly. Ling Xiao looked at him strangely, not understanding why Luo Chuan was so excited, as if he were stealing someone's man.
"Luo Chuan, do you have an old flame in this world?" Ling Xiao asked, taking an unconventional approach.
Luo Chuan, who was initially excited, suddenly froze and asked awkwardly, "My lord, why do you ask that?"
"I swear I didn't, I really didn't!"
"I urge you to always be mindful of this and not forget that you just narrowly escaped death."
Ling Xiao spoke calmly, his eyes filled with unparalleled majesty and awe.
Luo Chuan shivered, his smile froze, and after hesitating for a long time, he awkwardly began to explain the reason.
After hearing this, Ling Xiao laughed. It turned out that Luo Chuan didn't have an old flame, but rather that he had been underestimated back in the Mother World of All Things.
Having experienced the feeling of fortunes changing drastically over time, I felt somewhat resentful.
Ling Xiao shook his head helplessly, not wanting to dwell on the matter any longer.
"Luo Chuan, let me ask you this: if I continue to attack the Origin Realm, what are the chances that Wan Qianqiu will break through my defenses and turn against me?"
Luo Chuan's story reminded Ling Xiao: what if Yuan Origin Mother was Wan Qianqiu's old flame?
"I think... it's not a big problem. There are countless worlds beneath the True Realm. Even if some are destroyed, it won't cause any major harm and won't attract much attention."
"Furthermore, in my opinion, the Realm Lord will not disregard the True Realm Treaty and personally deal with you Dao Venerable, just because of a few worlds."
"At most, they'll just scheme behind the scenes and use some underhanded tactics."
Luo Chuan explained that he hadn't explicitly stated some things because he was afraid Ling Xiao wouldn't understand the greatness of the Realm Lord.
In his view, a being like a realm lord wouldn't keep a close eye on an "ant."
Ling Xiao's strength is nothing more than an ant in the eyes of a realm lord. Unless Wan Qianqiu is bored and has nothing better to do, he wouldn't take him seriously at all.
Ling Xiao didn't know what Luo Chuan was thinking, but after hearing his words, he felt relieved.
In fact, even beings like Realm Lords are subject to restrictions, just like the Heavenly Dao and the Great Dao, which have their own rights to exercise and only act within the established rules.
They mainly act based on the general trend.
Anomalies tend to generate new variables that need to be addressed.
"What is the cultivation level of the Primordial Origin Mother of the Mother World of All Things?" Ling Xiao asked, pulling himself out of his thoughts.
Luo Chuan thought about it for a moment, very seriously.
"When I went last time, it was the ninth level of the Primordial Taiji Realm; I suppose it's the same now."
He's learned his lesson; he didn't make any promises he couldn't keep. What if things changed? Wouldn't that cause a huge uproar?
Ling Xiao understood that the Ninth Heaven of Primordial Taiji was nothing to fear, as it was within his control.
"Go and prepare, awaiting my instructions."
Ling Xiao waved for Luo Chuan to leave, and was about to get up and go out when the system's voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
