128: The conspiracy breaks down, and the final chapter is coming (two-in-one)
Star Dou Great Forest, Core Area, Unknown Space.
Di Tian and the other Vicious Beasts returned and told the Silver Dragon King Yu Mengzhang's answer.
After hearing it, the Silver Dragon King fell into silence.
She didn't care that Yu Mengzhang had detained Zi Ji; she was even happy to see it happen.
In this way, there could be considered a "bond" between the two sides.
The problem was that Yu Mengzhang actually refused to cooperate... "Does he think he can stay out of it? Will the Divine Realm not act against him?" The Silver Dragon King snorted coldly, quite displeased.
In her view, the two sides should have been natural allies!
Although the Azure Dragon Divine Lord was not of the same lineage of Spirit Beasts as her, he certainly had even less to do with the Divine Realm.
Yet now he refused to cooperate... Di Tian thought for a moment and said, "My Lord, although I did not see that High Priest, I have a feeling that the High Priest is not afraid of the Divine Realm, nor is he trying to stay out of it..."
"Then what is it?" Gu Yuena asked curiously.
Di Tian was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "It's more like... complete indifference. Yes, he doesn't seem to care about the Divine Realm at all, as if he doesn't even take them seriously."
Hearing this, the Silver Dragon King fell silent. If anyone else had said it, she would only think they had gone mad.
An existence that became a god as a Spirit Beast, and yet not fear the Divine Realm?
One must know that even she, the Silver Dragon King, couldn't help but feel like she was walking on thin ice, being extremely cautious in the face of the Divine Realm's threat.
But Di Tian was different; he was a very reliable subordinate.
He wouldn't speak nonsense.
"Forget it, he probably doesn't know the situation of the Divine Realm yet, or hasn't made up his mind. I will go and speak with him personally..." A look of determination flashed in the Silver Dragon King's eyes.
Having witnessed Yu Mengzhang's strength, she didn't want to let go of this natural ally!
Di Tian suddenly said, "My Lord, when we were in the human World, we discovered an Insurgent Army. Although they don't operate under the name of the Azure Dragon Temple, they have countless ties to it..."
"Oh?" A sharp light flashed in the Silver Dragon King's eyes.
"Good, then you all go and join them! Try to deepen the relationship between the two sides as much as possible."
The Silver Dragon King instructed.
"As you command!"
Di Tian and the other Vicious Beasts immediately agreed... On the other side, at the Azure Dragon Temple outside Spirit City.
Believers formed a long line, winding around and around. Even if they queued from day to night, they didn't feel tired; their faith was incredibly pure and devout.
Yu Mengzhang floated above the temple, looking at the line of tens of thousands of people, frowning slightly.
He didn't want these Believers to go through such trouble.
At this moment, streaks of golden light suddenly gathered from all directions of the sky, like a rain of light, all concentrating here at the temple.
The rain of light was a collection of Karma and faith, precisely what the Insurgent Army brought.
This action was a monumental Karma that would split the heavens and earth.
For Yu Mengzhang, it was like being on a rocket; his cultivation soared, his Bloodline evolved, yet there were absolutely no negative effects.
Because he was not part of the pure Spirit Master system to begin with.
"Although I don't know what happened, I felt it. There seems to be some kind of energy making you grow stronger... I've also confirmed one thing: you are not a Spirit Beast, but you are definitely not a god either!"
"You are an invader from another World!"
A cold voice suddenly rang out.
Yu Mengzhang looked back to see a girl in a white dress floating not far away. Her silver hair draped over her shoulders, fluttering in the wind. On her exquisitely beautiful face, her features were like a painting, so beautiful it seemed unreal, as if she might disappear at any moment.
A pair of purple eyes were sizing him up with interest.
In Yu Mengzhang's eyes, he also instantly saw through her true form... an incredibly massive, holy, and noble Silver Dragon, at least in the context of the Douluo Continent.
He had dealt with her before, but they hadn't met as openly as they did now.
"I didn't expect the Azure Dragon Divine Lord to be a child, and an outsider at that. If the Divine Realm finds out, they probably won't tolerate you. After all... they don't even allow Spirit Beasts to become gods."
Gu Yuena looked at Yu Mengzhang faintly, leaving her sentence unfinished.
Yu Mengzhang looked at her calmly, his golden eyes shining brightly.
"Are you threatening me?"
Gu Yuena sighed and approached Yu Mengzhang, stepping onto the top of the temple. She shook her head slightly, first glancing at the Believers below, who couldn't see the two of them.
Gu Yuena said, "I'm not, High Priest. I sincerely want to cooperate with you. If you don't agree, I won't shift the trouble onto you... but I believe you should cooperate with me."
Yu Mengzhang raised an eyebrow slightly, waiting for her to continue.
Seeing this, Gu Yuena patted her chest and smiled slightly, appearing confident.
"First, once the Divine Realm discovers your existence, they won't tolerate you, which is a threat to you. Compared to a Spirit Beast becoming a god, an outside god is likely even less acceptable to the Divine Realm."
"Second, as long as we cooperate, we have the ability to defeat the Divine Realm."
"This battle must be fought, and we will win, so why not just start the war?"
Gu Yuena asked with a smile.
"You... can win?" Yu Mengzhang's lips twitched slightly.
It wasn't as if he didn't know Gu Yuena's background.
Although she now had the supplement of the Two Dragon Kings of Ice and Fire, allowing her to recover her God King level strength.
But the Divine Realm had five experts of the same level!
And there were many other gods of different Ranks!
What about Gu Yuena's side?
Only Di Tian and the other ordinary Spirit Beasts remained. Even a third-class god descending would be enough to wipe out these Vicious Beasts.
Gu Yuena's face turned slightly red as she realized Yu Mengzhang knew her situation. She said awkwardly, "I have my own plan. Don't just look at my current team; that would distort my efforts."
Yu Mengzhang continued to stare at her, as if wanting to get to the bottom of things, yet he remained silent.
Gu Yuena sighed and floated closer to Yu Mengzhang again.
They were about the same height. She whispered into Yu Mengzhang's ear:
"Within the Divine Realm, the Golden Dragon King is sealed, who can fight against two God Kings. You and I solve the Asura God here. Three against four, the advantage is ours!"
"As for the other gods, what kind of waves can they make against us?"
"Don't worry, I have already recovered my God King strength. In the Dao of Space, even the God of Space may not be as good as me, not to mention I understand all elemental divine forces. I will definitely be able to rescue the Golden Dragon King..."
"Once we take over the Divine Realm, you, he, and I will divide it into three. The Golden Dragon King is a scoundrel; if you have a conflict with him, I will stand on your side."
Gu Yuena spoke with allure, guiding him patiently.
After hearing this, Yu Mengzhang shook his head. "Not interested."
"..." Gu Yuena's face froze. She had exposed her trump cards, and Yu Mengzhang just told her he wasn't interested?
Wasn't this just playing with her?
"You...!!!" Gu Yuena wanted to argue, but Yu Mengzhang hadn't said anything just now; she was the one who had taken the initiative to say a whole lot!
Gu Yuena stomped her foot and snorted softly, "Even without you, I can still fight the Divine Realm! As for you, be careful not to get targeted by the Divine Realm!"
With a flash of silver light, Gu Yuena quietly disappeared.
However, in Yu Mengzhang's perception—within the Divine Kingdom he had released—he could still "see" the traces of Gu Yuena leaving.
At the same time, six spirit rings slowly rose from beneath Yu Mengzhang's feet, the last three being golden.
The sixth spirit ring suddenly shook, becoming blurred.
When it became clear, it had turned into two spirit rings!
The power of Karma from the Insurgent Army caused Yu Mengzhang's strength to rise rapidly!
"Roar...!!!"
A dragon's roar.
Simultaneously, a streak of green light shot up from the temple.
The "Green Lizard"... no, it should be said the Azure Flood Dragon flew straight into the sky. As soon as it appeared, countless dark clouds gathered.
Seeing this scene, the Believers all knelt down, praying with devout expressions... Time passed quickly.
The Insurgent Army had become a prairie fire, about to burn away the decaying old era.
At Yu Xiaogang's strong insistence, the Insurgent Army fought on two fronts, simultaneously crusading against the two great Empires, Heaven Dou and Star Luo.
The result... was overwhelming!
Once the core of fighting for the people was established, wherever the Insurgent Army went, it was as if heaven and earth lent their strength. The common people welcomed them warmly, providing them with information, and many talented people even took the initiative to rebel against the Empire and join the Insurgent Army.
In this way, the Insurgent Army fought on two lines, both reaching the imperial capitals of Heaven Dou and Star Luo.
The Heaven Dou Empire only had two or three-tenths of its territory left.
The Star Luo Empire was stronger, but it had less than half left.
Continuing like this, the future of the Douluo Continent was almost certainly going to be the World of the Insurgent Army.
Above the Azure Dragon Temple in Heaven Dou City, the Asura God had been lingering high in the sky, next to that massive celestial phenomenon vortex.
However, although divine lightning had descended several times over the year, in his perception, it was just a natural phenomenon of heaven and earth, rather than being driven by some energy behind it!
"How is it possible?"
The Asura God could not understand.
At this moment, a blue stream of light came from the north, stopping next to the Asura God and transforming into the appearance of the Sea God Poseidon.
"Asura, oh Asura! A year is but a blink of an eye to you and me. What are you looking for me for in such a hurry?" Sea God Poseidon asked with a smile.
Gods could endure loneliness much better than Spirit Beasts.
Even staying here for hundreds or thousands of years shouldn't be anything unusual.
But only a year had passed, and the Asura God had already summoned him.
The Asura God frowned, looking down at the Azure Dragon Temple below. From here, it was just a black dot smaller than a sesame seed. He said solemnly, "I have a sense of unease. Poseidon, did you feel it? Every once in a while, there is a mysterious energy fluctuation..."
"Although I don't know what it is, I can feel it growing stronger."
"And as for the so-called Azure Dragon Divine Lord, there is indeed a sense of holiness in the temple, but... we don't understand it."
A divine sword suddenly appeared in the Asura God's hand, filled with killing intent.
Sea God Poseidon was shocked to see this and blurted out, "You... you don't want to take action, do you? Asura, are you going to take the lead in violating the rules of the Divine Realm?"
The Asura God was the most old-fashioned, yet now he wanted to interfere in the mortal World because of the Azure Dragon Divine Lord?
"This unease is too strong... I have a premonition that it will definitely become a force capable of affecting the Divine Realm. We must act decisively!" the Asura God said coldly.
Sea God Poseidon hurriedly pressed the Asura God's shoulder and comforted him:
"Calm down, calm down. If people didn't know better, they'd think you were that God of Killing fellow. Let's just invite the Divine Realm to intervene; search the Douluo Continent and see what power is hiding."
"I don't believe that with all the gods under inspection, anyone can escape?"
Sea God Poseidon said with a smile.
"This... very well." The Asura God nodded slightly. There was no danger in the Divine Realm at this time, so what could go wrong if they shifted their attention to the Douluo Continent?
The two gods acted simultaneously, releasing Divine Power. A red and blue pillar of light shot straight up... Heaven Dou City was currently surrounded by a hundred thousand Insurgent Army troops.
The garrison on the city walls was heavily guarded and well-equipped; this was already the last of the Heaven Dou Empire's strong army.
It was almost the last army recruited using gold coins.
The previous armies were either useless or had been directly assimilated by the Insurgent Army!
In the recently built palace, "Xue Qinghe" was quite annoyed. Facing the group of court officials she had gathered, she had a headache and asked, "Everyone, what is it now?"
Over the years, "Xue Qinghe" had already killed several "Emperor Xue Ye" and obtained the nominal support of some nobles, which naturally involved sacrificing some interests.
However, she also found that the situation was already beyond recovery!
Her power came from the support of the nobles, and the nobles were unwilling to share their interests with the commoners, which also meant she couldn't truly turn the tide.
Seeing that the Heaven Dou Empire was already facing the danger of national destruction.
Yet the ministers still hadn't given up on causing trouble?
Prince Xue Xing stood up and said solemnly, "This Prince has a petition!"
"Imperial Uncle, please speak..."
"Xue Qinghe" said indifferently.
She was currently the Regent and had not yet officially ascended the throne.
"His Majesty has returned! Please return the power, Your Highness! Only with His Majesty's personal presence can the people be united to fight against the rebels!" Prince Xue Xing said solemnly.
"Hmm...?"
"Xue Qinghe" was stunned. Her previous confrontation with Prince Xue Xing had been conducted in secret.
After killing so many Emperor Xue Ye, was the original finally coming out?
The noble ministers then made way for a path.
A white-haired man dressed in dragon robes entered, looking majestic and extraordinary; he was indeed Emperor Xue Ye.
Seeing this scene, "Xue Qinghe" couldn't help but laugh. Looking at this situation, the noble ministers had already given up on her and turned to Emperor Xue Ye!
No wonder she was unaware that Emperor Xue Ye was waiting outside the hall.
Obviously, she was about to be stripped of her power!
In political struggle, she was indeed not as good as these people.
She sighed, feeling tired.
After being busy for over ten years, this was how it ended.
"Crown Prince, why haven't you come down yet?!" Emperor Xue Ye questioned with full vigor.
"Xue Qinghe" looked mockingly at Emperor Xue Ye and the others. A golden holy sword suddenly appeared in her hand, and she said indifferently, "Kill them all..."
...Outside the city, in the Insurgent Army's camp.
Now the Insurgent Army numbered three million, while Yu Xiaogang only led ten thousand personal followers.
Inside the main tent, Yu Xiaogang was talking eloquently, preparing to confer titles of nobility on his confidants.
Those following Yu Xiaogang now were almost all corrupt and degenerate, having strayed from the Insurgent Army's original intention, only thinking about promotions and wealth.
"Great Master, I don't think Marshal Xiao has that intention!"
"That's right, we've suffered so much leading the brothers, and in the end, you won't let us enjoy ourselves?"
"Great Master, why don't you be the Emperor? We all follow you!"
"..."
Yu Xiaogang was complacent, his face glowing with excitement.
"Good! Once we destroy Heaven Dou City, we will seize power!"
Bibi Dong sat to the side, looking at Yu Xiaogang at this moment, but felt he was incredibly strange.
