All Foxes Gather, Dispute

Hearing Tushan Jinci's words, not to mention Guang Ling and Azure Luan, even Cen Yu himself was stunned.

He stretched out his hand, watching the power flowing through his palm, and muttered to himself, "That can't be right..."

How could it be? So he wasn't human, but a nine-tailed fox? And a doomed one at that?

No way... was his luck really that bad? After finally transmigrating and surviving, he'd hit the jackpot again.

"What if I become a god? After becoming a god, will this restriction still exist?"

"..."

"It won't." Tushan Jinci sighed and pointed at herself, "Look at me, and most of the foxes you've met—is there any one of us who isn't at the god level?"

"Before the King was sealed, even the so-called God Kings were nothing more than ants."

"And yet, even such a powerful King would appear weak in the face of a fully matured Chaos Sky Fox."

What a pity... after finally seeing a turning point, a nine-tailed fox had returned to Tushan, only for it to be a Chaos...

If only he weren't a Chaos Sky Fox, how good would that be? Could he have saved the King and led Tushan out of its predicament?

Tushan Zhaoli said, "However... it is not entirely impossible."

"The Great Dao numbers fifty, and the Heavens derive forty-nine; all things have a reason for their existence. As long as one exists, there will always be that sliver of opportunity."

"Otherwise, why would the Heavenly Dao allow the Chaos Sky Fox to be born?"

"The most likely reason is that because the existence of the Chaos Sky Fox is too heaven-defying, the Heavenly Dao has imposed even more difficult trials."

If being a Chaos Sky Fox were so easy, wouldn't this world belong to their fox clan?

One can only say that this is the balance of the Heavenly Dao.

"Forget it, there is no rush. There is still some time, let's awaken the bloodline first."

Hearing this, Tushan Jinci bowed to Tushan Zhaoli, "Then, my King, shall I issue the decree for all foxes with seven tails or more to gather at the ancestral grounds?"

"According to the rules, the awakening of a Chaos Sky Fox's bloodline requires a Blessing Ceremony."

Tushan Zhaoli had just nodded when Guang Ling asked in confusion, "Blessing?"

Just then, a large, golden-furred eight-tailed fox walked in.

"The so-called blessing means that every clan member attending the ceremony must offer a portion of their own power to help the Chaos Sky Fox grow as quickly as possible."

"After all, compared to the long lives of most of our fox clan, the life of a Chaos Sky Fox is a mere hundred years."

"As for how to determine if one is a Chaos Sky Fox, it is quite simple: in this world, only Chaos can possess both sacred and evil powers simultaneously."

"That is why the King and Jinci were able to determine on the spot that Cen Yu is a Chaos Sky Fox."

As he spoke, he bowed slightly to Cen Yu, "Nice to meet you, I am Tushan Mingheng, an astrologer."

In the moment Cen Yu was stunned, Tushan Mingheng began to size up this Chaos Sky Fox he was meeting for the first time.

A fox that only existed in clan legends—he never expected to see one in his lifetime.

One must know that the last appearance of a Chaos Sky Fox in the world was back in the previous epoch.

Therefore, Tushan Mingheng had excitedly taken a bath and spent quite a while dressing up, which was why he was late.

At this moment, his eight large, fluffy tails were swaying behind him, looking quite sparkly.

Seeing this, Tushan Jinci's face immediately darkened.

Lord Mingheng, isn't this guy usually quite cold and aloof? Has he been possessed?

Damn it, he was so busy rushing over to acknowledge their kin that he forgot to tidy himself up.

After a brief silence, Cen Yu nodded, "Thank you all for telling me the truth. A death curse... sounds quite terrifying."

"However... I think I am quite lucky."

"Even the gods of Douluo Continent can achieve near-immortality, so why can't I, with such a noble martial soul and bloodline?"

He was a transmigrator, after all; it was just a great tribulation, there would always be a turning point.

Hearing this, Tushan Zhaoli nodded with satisfaction, "It is best if you think this way. Only with hope can there be opportunity."

"If a person loses even hope, then even if the opportunity is right in front of them, they will be unable to grasp it."

Soon, with Tushan Zhaoli's permission, Tushan Jinci began to notify the various foxes.

As long as they had seven tails or more, even if they were in seclusion, they had to break it and rush to the ancestral grounds upon hearing such major news regarding a Chaos Sky Fox.

Tushan Lingyi remarked with emotion, "One truly cannot judge a book by its cover. I never expected him to be a Chaos Sky Fox."

"A fox that had long since vanished—what will its return bring to Tushan?"

Hearing this, Tushan Mingheng smiled and said, "That is a nine-tailed fox. Once he awakens his bloodline, even without merging his powers, he will be a terrifying existence."

"Besides, the starry sky is exceptionally bright tonight."

"Indeed." Just as the two were speaking, an eight-tailed green fox tore through the void and appeared before them.

She transformed into human form and said with a light laugh, "Lingyi, Mingheng, long time no see~"

"Eh?!" Tushan Lingyi looked at the person before her in surprise. "Mingxi? You've come out of seclusion?"

If she remembered correctly, she hadn't seen this guy in over a thousand years, had she? This was truly rare.

Tushan Mingxi nodded. "How could I possibly be absent for such a major event as the awakening of the Chaos Sky Fox bloodline?"

"Besides, I still have to offer a blessing to the Sky Fox Lord in a moment."

Just then, another seven-tailed yellow fox-person walked over.

"But I heard that the Sky Fox Lord was stranded on the Douluo Continent and only returned to Tushan by sheer coincidence?"

"And... he was born to a fox who hadn't awakened her bloodline and a human?"

"Intermarrying with humans—doesn't that stain the bloodline of our Tushan clan? You must know, it was humans who caused us to—"

"Shut your mouth!"

Tushan Mingheng looked at the newcomer coldly. "Tushan Chengyang, don't force me to take action on a day like today."

"How noble is the Chaos Sky Fox? How could you dare to insult him with your words?!"

Hearing this, Tushan Chengyang let out a cold snort. "Lord Mingheng, I know I cannot defeat you, but isn't what I said the truth?"

"So what if his bloodline is noble? He still requires our blessing, and he is destined not to live past a hundred years!"

A fox who mixed with humans—what face does the child born of such a union have to return to the ancestral land?

"If it weren't for that so-called Asura God and the humans on the Douluo Continent colluding with the Abyss back then, how could Ayuan have died in that great war?!"

"For all these years, I have remained in seclusion solely to accumulate power, so that one day I could slaughter my way back and avenge my Ayuan!"

"And yet, you all want to acknowledge the son of a human from the Douluo Continent and bring him back?!"

Hearing this, the group fell silent.

They had no way to refute Tushan Chengyang's words.

After all, in that great war, his closest brother had been backstabbed to death by humans...

Tushan Lingyi sighed. "But Cen Yu is different; he was also deeply persecuted by the Asura God."

"Setting aside his identity as the Chaos Sky Fox, you cannot condemn all humans with a single stroke."

"Have you forgotten? Although some humans betrayed us, many more fought until their dying breath."
