Chapter 147 (continued)

Since Si Kui can't see it with her own eyes, it would be good for her to show it to her.

Li Yang is now the only person in the Nature Department who can face the truth of what happened back then.

Marquis of Wind Pavilion guided Li Yang and Lianxin to Wang Gexiao's Spirit Sea.

Feng Tinghou said to Li Yang, "Wang Gexiao's memories are vast. We can only pinpoint them precisely, locking onto a specific time period and location. Otherwise, we'll be trapped in his sea of memories and unable to escape."

Li Yang nodded emphatically and said, "I understand."

She wouldn't investigate recklessly; she would simply follow Marquis of Wind Pavilion back 28 years to see what Wang Gexiao had done during that time.

The feeling of being mentally probed is like watching a long movie in a theater.

The audience consisted of the five Ninth -Ninth-Grade Supreme, Li Yang, and Lianxin.

The film opens with the Nature Department announcing a surprise attack on the Fenglie Clan.

What they saw was exactly what Wang Gexiao experienced firsthand.

Wang Gexiao, who has a close relationship with the Nature Department, also appeared at this meeting of the Department of the Nature Department.

Wang Gexiao is a minor disciple in the Nature Department, and having reached the Eighth Grade Realm, he is also a powerful combatant.

The Nature Department did not require its minor disciples to participate in the battle, but many minor disciples volunteered to join the surprise attack team.

In a daze, Li Yang seemed to have become a participant in that year's events, as if she had also attended that earth-shattering pre-war meeting 28 years ago.

Li Yang never imagined that she would meet her grandmaster in this way.

Si Kui's teacher is the head of the Nature Department.

The old pavilion master is arguably one of the oldest people in the Huaxia Heavenly Palace, but she looks very young, appearing to be only in her thirties or forties. Her features are not particularly outstanding, but they are quite pleasing to the eye.

Even at such a pre-battle meeting, the old leader still exuded a reassuring and calming aura.

If Si Kui is like a blazing fire rising from the sun, then the old pavilion master is like the ever-present wind.

She is neither fierce, nor sharp, nor domineering.

Just sitting there, one felt an indescribable sense of peace and tranquility.

Although Li Yang was clearly looking through Wang Gexiao's Spirit Sea, it was as if she was looking at her from a distance.

In that instant, a familiar stream flowed through her heart. Although Li Yang couldn't see the system notification, she knew... she had gained a deeper understanding of the "Sparse Words, Natural Heart Sutra".

Dominance doesn't have to be outwardly displayed.

Strength doesn't need to be flaunted.

Simply go with the flow, and the power of nature will be inexhaustible.

Even a gust of wind can turn the tide and stir up stormy waves.

Everything in nature is neither superior nor inferior, noble nor base.

Only by following the natural course can things remain constant and lasting.

Marquis of Wind Pavilion's voice rang out, "As expected of Heavenly Fortune Bearer of the Nature Department, you can even gain insight from such a situation."

Li Yang suddenly woke up and found that the scene in front of her had changed.

Wang Gexiao returned to the Wang Family mansion and paced back and forth in a dark, secret room.

He didn't voice his thoughts aloud, but because of the power of his Spirit Sea, everyone heard his inner voice:

"Hypocritical! Cowardly! They clearly have a way to advance to the Divine Venerable Realm, but they stubbornly refuse to use it, waiting for the Fenglie Clan to attack and cause heavy losses to the Huaxia Heavenly Palace!"

Upon hearing this, all the Ninth-Grade Supreme present were taken aback.

Li Yang's heart skipped a beat.

Everyone instantly understood why Wang Gexiao hated the Nature Department.

Several Ninth-Grade Supreme clearly showed signs of mental fluctuation, but they quickly regained their composure and continued to probe Wang Gexiao's Spirit Sea.

"A surprise attack on Fenglie Main City?" Wang Gexiao said coldly, "If you had reached the Divine Venerable Realm earlier, would you have needed to Risking Life with the full power of your entire element!"

"Foolish! Dwelling in the past! Stubborn!" Wang Gexiao cursed the Master of the Nature Department repeatedly, his emotions churning within him.

He suddenly turned his head and looked at the dark gray card on the table.

The card's material is extremely special; it seems very soft, as light as if it were condensed air, yet it is also unusually hard, with a heavy, dark gray color like the depths of winter.

This deep gray is peculiar; upon closer inspection, it seems to be a fusion of endless colors, ultimately resulting in this chaotic gray.

The chaotic grayness reveals boundless truth, drawing one in at a single glance.

Wang Gexiao picked up the dark gray card, on which was written a sentence: "Pray to the Divine Descent your wishes to be fulfilled."

These words possessed an astonishing power, shaking Wang Gexiao's Spirit Sea.

Wang Gexiao had great composure; he was not swayed, but instead scoffed and tossed the dark gray card aside.

But soon another thought crossed his mind, and a look of madness appeared in his eyes.

"Since we can't persuade them, then..." Wang Gexiao's voice was eerily calm, "Let them fight like dogs."

This dark gray card was completely unfamiliar to Li Yang, but it was very familiar to the Ninth-Grade Supreme present.

Let alone Ninth-Grade Supreme, even Star Wielders in the Astral Realm might receive such a card once they reach the Grandmaster.

This is what the Astral Realm calls...

Divine Token.

Receiving this card doesn't mean anything; you can simply put it away or throw it away.

Because it is indestructible; even Ninth-Grade Supreme of the Huaxia Heavenly Palace would find it difficult to destroy.

Even with Divine Token, Divine Descent intervention is not guaranteed.

Divine Descent is very difficult; it requires not only a Heavenly Fortune Bearer but also a large number of rare offerings.

For many Grandmaster, the tribute alone was an expense they couldn't afford.

Besides, even if you attract Divine Descent, you won't get what you want.

The Divine Venerable are ruthless; once they descend, it is slaughter.

To the Divine Venerable of the Upper Three Realms, other Realm Domain are merely food on a plate.

When faced with food, a person will only have one reaction.

That is to eat it.

Therefore, very few people will activate Divine Descent.

Those who initiate Divine Descent are mostly ruthless and depraved individuals, or use it as a means of blackmail, just like the Descending Star Cult in the past.

At this moment, Wang Gexiao was indeed harboring even more sinister thoughts.

He longed for the Huaxia Heavenly Palace to have a Divine Venerable Realm, but the Pavilion Master of the Nature Pavilion was too stubborn and refused to unify the Huaxia Heavenly Palace and obtain the Divine Emperor title no matter what.

If the Nature Department hadn't gone to conquer the Fenglie Clan, Wang Gexiao wouldn't have even entertained this crazy idea.

After all, in his heart, the Nature Department was an insurmountable mountain.

But then, unexpectedly, the opportunity to cross the high mountains arose.

His ambition grew, which led to even more insane thoughts.

If you can't convince them, then replace them.

Rather than relying on the Nature Department, let the Spirit Department become the "high mountain" of the Huaxia Heavenly Palace!

His father was one of the Twelve Marquises of the Star Nexus.

If the Nature Department falls, then the Star Nexus Pavilion will dominate the Huaxia Heavenly Palace. At that time, we can slowly plan our next move. The Wang Family may then unify Huaxia and seize the position of Divine Emperor!

This wonderful blueprint captivated Wang Gexiao.

He looked at the Divine Token in his hand, his expression cold and ruthless. "This is your own choice."

If the Lord of the Nature Pavilion were to attain the position of Divine Emperor, and if the Nature Department were not to launch a surprise attack on the Fenglie Clan... then he would have no chance to wipe them out in one fell swoop.

But now, Wang Gexiao's trembling hands grasped the Divine Descent.

He couldn't miss this only chance!

With just one Divine Venerable Realm, the Fenglie Clan is nothing!

Even the Upper Three Realms dare not underestimate the Huaxia Heavenly Palace!

This nine-year war brought immense humiliation to the Huaxia Heavenly Palace and caused Wang Gexiao immense suffering!

Wang Gexiao resented the inaction of the Nature Department because the war had resulted in too many deaths.

It's clear that as long as the Pavilion Master of the Nature Pavilion obtains the title of Divine Emperor and ascends to the Divine Venerable Realm, all of this can be resolved.

But she just wouldn't!

They said it went against the will of Heaven, defied the Heavenly Fortune, and would cause the decline of the fortune of the Huaxia Realm Domain...

Isn't Huaxia already in a terrible state of crisis, being invaded?

Wang Gexiao held the Divine Token but didn't rush to activate the Divine Descent. It wasn't until he accompanied the army to the main city of the Fenglie Clan and witnessed the death of the Nature Department Pavilion Master that he finally did so.

He no longer hesitated.

The Lord of the Nature Department was incredibly strong, so strong that he was terrified.

Even such a powerful Ninth-Grade Supreme still died under the blade of the Fenglie Clan Divine Venerable.

Indeed, the Lord of the Nature Department also managed to kill the Divine Venerable Fenglie.

But if the Lord of the Nature Department Pavilion had reached the Divine Venerable Realm, how could the battle have been so fierce?!

They could become stronger, but they refuse to.

Ironically, this is the mindset across the entire Nature Department.

Nature, nature...

They talk about going with the flow, but they're actually just a bunch of unambitious good-for-nothings!

The only person Wang Gexiao admired was Si Kui.

Because Si Kui is very unlike Nature Department person, she has a strong and stubborn personality. Although she is always scolded by the Nature Department pavilion master, she still does not change and remains strong and domineering.

However, the moment the Lord of the Nature Department fell, Si Kui changed.

Wang Gexiao clearly heard the words of the Nature Department Master to Si Kui: "Kui'er, you are not alone, there are countless people behind you..."

Because of these words, Wang Gexiao saw that Si Kui's domineering and arrogant aura dissipated!

Wang Gexiao was utterly disappointed.

He returned to the Greedy Wolf Transit Point ahead of time and set up the Divine Descent Ritual.

As the Grandmaster of the Wang Family, he could easily deceive a Spirit Department Heavenly Fortune Bearer, namely Lu Yanbie.

As for the other tributes, they weren't too difficult for Wang Gexiao to obtain.

Everything is ready; we are just waiting for the Nature Department to arrive at the Greedy Wolf Transit Point.

Wang Gexiao activated the Divine Descent, summoning the Divine Exalt Daowu.

The moment Divine Exalt Daowu descended, he glanced indifferently at Wang Gexiao, and in an instant, Wang Gexiao's Spirit Sea became a chaotic mess.

Everyone present saw this glimpse.

Even through Wang Gexiao's Spirit Sea, even across a period of twenty-eight years, they were still deeply shocked.
