He knew he could not afford to offend these God Venerables, especially God Venerable Renxiao. This marketplace was God Venerable Renxiao's magical treasure. If Renxiao was determined to deal with him even at the cost of damaging the marketplace's foundation, then with Renxiao's strength, he would have no chance of escape!
He had no choice. To stay alive and avoid offending all the God Venerables present, Shanzhi could only offer a reasonable explanation.
"To be honest with you, God Venerables, my master never found the Annihilation Lotus Pool. However, by a fortunate coincidence, he discovered the coordinates of a world. He then took us, his disciples, to that world, and afterward... we exterminated that world's native inhabitants. My master seized the original world's Heavenly Dao Will and transformed himself into the Dao, providing us with a new homeland."
Upon hearing this, all the God Venerables were stunned.
After a long while, they began accusing him one after another.
"Utter nonsense! Do you take us for fools? If it were truly possible to find the karmic coordinates of other worlds, would we be sitting here helplessly awaiting death?"
"Young man, explain yourself clearly. How did your master learn the karmic coordinates of another world?"
God Venerable Renxiao was furious as well. "If you do not explain this matter clearly today, do not blame this old man for disregarding the rules!"
Shanzhi's face was ashen. Locked onto by more than thirty cold killing intents, he knew that if he failed to give everyone a satisfactory explanation today, he would never leave this manor alive. The enraged God Venerables would join forces to suppress him, and his fate would be incomparably miserable!
His thoughts raced wildly as he considered how he should explain himself.
"Heh heh..."
At that moment, a soft chuckle rang
