Hermoz arrived at the Crimson Palace.
Chu Duanhun then departed.
Only Dasiwoba and Hermoz remained in the main hall.
At this moment, Hermoz stepped forward and sat down in the next seat.
Without hesitation, Hermoz went straight to the point:
"I imagine you probably don't want Lin Heng's growth rate to continue, right?"
Dasiwoba chuckled softly after hearing this.
" Lin Heng is one of our Western Celebratory Demon Sea people."
"His growth won't do me any harm."
"But you, Hermoz..."
"Ever since Lin Heng ascended to heaven, you've been constantly picking on him."
"Do you think Lin Heng will let you off the hook if he really grows up?"
Hermoz gave a cold laugh.
Do you even believe that yourself?
" Dasiwoba, I have come today with full sincerity."
If you still say that...
"At worst, I'll just leave."
After Hermoz finished speaking, he looked up at Dasiwoba.
Unfortunately, the other party did not react in any particular way.
Dasiwoba's expression was simple.
If you want to leave, then go ahead, we won't stop you.
Hermoz frowned at this situation.
But if it really came down to leaving, he certainly wouldn't do that.
Left with no other option, Hermoz could only speak again:
"I'll be frank and open about it."
"The next battle for the Pangu Axe."
"I intend to kill Lin Heng."
"But with the strength of our Eastern Victorious Divine Sea alone, we might not be able to guarantee 100% security."
" Dasiwoba, would you be willing to join forces with me?"
"Once this is done, I can give you a territory spanning a billion miles of ocean."
"At the same time, we can both comprehend Mu Chen's legacy together."
"And I can promise you, I'll let you comprehend it for a billion years first, how about that?"
The terms offered by Hermoz were undeniably very attractive.
This time, even Dasiwoba fell silent.
He was analyzing the pros and cons.
Lin Heng's growth is certainly not a good thing for Dasiwoba.
Eliminating Lin Heng was not just Hermoz's idea.
This was also Dasiwoba's idea.
Now, some people are even willing to offer conditions for them to join forces against Lin Heng.
That would certainly be the best outcome.
However, Dasiwoba still had one more concern.
On Hongjun and Lin Yue Yao's side.
They joined forces to deal with Lin Heng.
Could Hongjun and Lin Yue Yao just sit idly by?
If things really escalate to the point where it all comes to a head, will Master Primordial Chaos appear?
For Dasiwoba, Primordial Chaos is what he cares about most.
Just as he fell silent.
Hermoz seemed to read his mind and smiled:
"Our master certainly cares about Lin Heng."
"But Lin Heng is not yet good enough to catch Master's eye."
"Unless one day he reaches the same level as us."
"Or perhaps it's that he can reach the level Mu Chen achieved back then."
"Otherwise, Master would never have intervened."
Hermoz said so.
But in his own heart, he wasn't entirely sure that Primordial Chaos wouldn't interfere.
After listening to his words, Dasiwoba hesitated for a moment, but quickly came to an answer.
"I'm willing to bet big with you."
"However, there are some things you'd better swear an oath for first."
Dasiwoba was referring, of course, to the matter of Mu Chen's inheritance.
It would be a lie to say he wasn't tempted by this.
He hadn't revealed it before because he was afraid that Primordial Chaos would side with Lin Heng.
Now that the decision has been made to deal with Lin Heng...
Dasiwoba definitely needs to maximize its profits.
Hermoz did not hesitate.
He raised three fingers of his right hand and swore an oath to the heavens.
"I, Hermoz, hereby swear..."
"If Dasiwoba joins forces with me, we can kill Lin Heng."
"Then I will give him the territory of one billion li of sea under the command of the Eastern Victorious Divine Sea."
"Furthermore, I will have Dasiwoba study the Mu Chen inheritance I obtained from Lin Heng for a billion years first."
"If I break this oath, I will be struck by lightning and never be reincarnated."
Only after Hermoz's oath ended did Dasiwoba finally show a satisfied smile.
Naturally, the two then began to plot how to deal with Lin Heng.
The fifth layer of the Primordial Chaos Universe!
This place was once inhabited only by Primordial Chaos himself.
Today, Hongjun has come as summoned.
When Hongjun arrived here.
Primordial Chaos is currently enjoying tea and cultivating his mind.
"Greetings, Master!"
Hongjun walked up to Primordial Chaos and bowed respectfully.
Primordial Chaos nodded lightly and hummed in agreement, then opened his eyes.
"How's the matter with the Eternal Ruins?"
As Primordial Chaos asked the question, Hongjun recounted what had happened at the Eternal Ruins that day.
Primordial Chaos was slightly surprised when he heard Lin Heng take out the Fuxi Bow.
After all, even he couldn't replicate the things from the Eternal Ruins.
He then heard Lin Heng promise that he would not use the Fuxi Bow in the next competition for the Pangu Axe.
Even the Twelve Ancestral Witches will no longer intervene.
A smile gradually appeared on Primordial Chaos's face.
"That's interesting."
"It seems to lie with Lin Heng."
"But it hides many secrets that even we don't know."
"I'd like to see the next battle for the Pangu Axe."
What tricks will Lin Heng pull this time?
Just as Primordial Chaos was talking to himself.
Hongjun spoke again:
"Master, I've discovered that Junior Brother Dasiwoba and Junior Brother Hermoz seem to be showing signs of harming Lin Heng."
Before Hongjun arrived at the fifth level, he had already discovered that Hermoz had gone to the Western Celebratory Demon Sea.
They met at this sensitive time.
Hongjun could easily guess what the two were up to.
Since he happened to be visiting Primordial Chaos today, he mentioned this matter in passing.
Primordial Chaos simply waved his hand dismissively.
It's alright!
Let them make a fuss.
"The more they cause trouble..."
" Lin Heng's growth will also be faster."
"Just remember, unless Lin Heng is truly facing a life-or-death situation."
"Otherwise, you absolutely must not help him."
Primordial Chaos was only mentioned in passing at the end.
After all, Primordial Chaos didn't believe that Lin Heng, as a successor favored by Mu Chen, would act without a backup plan.
Hongjun nodded respectfully in agreement.
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
Heavenly Star Sea Region!
Inside the Time-Traveling Treasure!
Dijiang, who was studying the Fuxi Bow, opened his eyes at a certain moment.
He already felt himself getting incredibly close to the level of Lord of the Four Seas.
But there was just one thin layer of paper between them that he couldn't break through no matter what he tried.
What exactly is it?
Dijiang frowned, repeatedly asking himself these questions.
Just then, a figure appeared in front of him.
"Perhaps I can help you take this final step."
Fate smiled and spoke.
When Dijiang saw the appearance of Fate, his expression became somewhat unnatural.
"You don't need to waste your time on me."
"I will never cooperate with you."
"I won't accept your favor."
