Inside the hall, the cultivators discussed matters a while longer before departing for their respective World Domains, leaving Chu Mo alone in the Sacred God Domain.
With Heaven, Yin, and Yang all dead, the Sacred God Domain had become a place where his word alone held sway. Their supreme treasures had likewise fallen into his hands.
Chu Mo took out a black ruler and studied it briefly. "The Seven-Realm Supreme Treasure, the Heaven-Balancing Ruler. It possesses the power to adjudicate the order of heaven. Not bad, I suppose. Unfortunately, Yin's and Yang's Dharmic Treasures have nothing special about them."
After examining it for a while, he suddenly heard deliberately audible, soft footsteps outside the hall. Without looking up, he said, "Since you're here, fellow Daoist, why stop outside the door?"
Creak-
Spider Mother pushed the door open and entered. Her gaze fell on the black ruler in Chu Mo's hand, and an expression of confirmation crossed her face. "You deceived them just now, didn't you, Fellow Daoist Chu?" she asked coolly.
"Oh?" Chu Mo looked up with a smile. "What makes you say that?"
"The bead refined from Heaven's Sacred Venerable is in your hands?" Though phrased as a question, Spider Mother's tone was as decisive as a blade cleaving iron.
Chu Mo raised an eyebrow. "Oh?"
Spider Mother walked over to a nearby chair and hopped lightly onto it. She was petite, and her feet failed to reach the floor from the tall chair. Together with the solemn expression on her little face, it made her look rather endearing.
"You cannot hide matters of Fate Law from me," she said quietly. "The moment that bead was refined, I discovered it had a fated connection with you. So Xiao Xuan could never have taken it from your hands."
