186: Cooperation reached, planning started

The Spirit of the God Realm entered Lin Mu’s body, and those outside were unaware of what was happening within.

The Four God Emperors exchanged glances, none of them speaking first.

In truth, they all wanted to seize the opportunity to kill Lin Mu.

Yet, they feared acting on their own initiative and provoking the Spirit of the God Realm.

Half a day quickly passed, and Lin Mu still stood there motionless.

Jia Lan paced anxiously, his eyes constantly darting towards Lin Mu.

Perhaps others could continue to wait patiently.

But he couldn't calm his heart.

The reason Jia Lan could be resurrected was that the Spirit of the God Realm had planted the power of Origin within his body.

Strictly speaking, he was not fully resurrected at this moment.

Instead, he was relying on the power of Origin, a powerful individual barely clinging to life.

Once the power of Origin was depleted, he would die again.

Liu Yang Gong, seeing Jia Lan’s expression, seemed to have guessed some of the reasons.

The two of them had always been at odds, like fire and water. Although they temporarily shared a common enemy, if there was an opportunity to make the other suffer, he would not let it pass.

Thus, Liu Yang Gong muttered to himself, “It looks like the Spirit of the God Realm and Lin Mu have entered a stalemate. If we act now, perhaps we can lend the Spirit of the God Realm a hand.”

Indeed, hearing Liu Yang Gong’s words, a struggling expression appeared on Jia Lan’s face.

He knew Liu Yang Gong’s words surely harbored ill intent, but they struck a chord within him.

After a moment of hesitation, Jia Lan still decided to take the risk.

Jia Lan stared at Lin Mu with a sinister gaze, and his body flashed, appearing before Lin Mu.

Although he decided to act, he dared not damage Lin Mu’s Physical Body.

The Spirit of the God Realm helped him precisely because it wanted to seize the opportunity to possess Lin Mu’s Physical Body.

He pointed a finger at his own brow, and a Primordial Spirit identical to him in appearance instantly entered Lin Mu’s body.

This Primordial Spirit was his external Clone, possessing half of his own strength.

Even if the Primordial Spirit died, it would at most cause him to lose a Clone.

Lin Mu was currently listening to the Primordial Spirit’s cooperation plan.

The more Lin Mu listened to the plan, the more satisfied he became.

“How about it? Are you satisfied with this cooperation?”

The Primordial Spirit finished explaining his entire plan, then asked Lin Mu.

Lin Mu smiled and said, “It sounds like a good cooperation plan, I agree to it.”

“But before that, I want to collect some interest first.”

As Lin Mu finished speaking, his gaze fell upon Jia Lan’s Clone, who had just arrived.

Jia Lan also saw Lin Mu and the other person at this moment.

Although the Primordial Spirit's appearance at this time was quite similar to the Spirit of the God Realm.

But Jia Lan had an indescribable feeling.

It seemed the Spirit of the God Realm was even more powerful than before.

However, he was also somewhat puzzled; looking at the situation here, the two did not seem to have engaged in battle.

He asked in confusion, “Lord Spirit, what is happening?”

The Primordial Spirit immediately saw that this was merely a Clone of Jia Lan.

A Clone and its master are connected in spirit, and he did not want the outside world to know about the situation here.

The Primordial Spirit, without a change in expression, waved his hand, and the entire Sea of Consciousness was sealed by him.

At the same time, Jia Lan’s main body outside discovered that his Clone had actually lost contact with him.

There were only two possibilities for this situation.

Either the Clone died, or the Clone actively cut off contact.

The former goes without saying; the latter meant the Clone had developed self-awareness and wanted independence.

Regardless of the situation, it was not good news for Jia Lan.

Just as he thought, his Clone was now held in Lin Mu’s hand, its Divine Power visibly draining away.

Jia Lan’s Clone frantically sought help from the Primordial Spirit.

“Lord Spirit, save me!”

The Primordial Spirit laughed loudly, “Utterly foolish! To think you are still a God Emperor, and you haven't realized until now that he and I are on the same side?”

Jia Lan’s Clone was instantly speechless upon hearing this, his mind temporarily unable to process it.

What was happening? Clearly, the Spirit of the God Realm had orchestrated everything today.

Now he was saying he and Lin Mu were on the same side?

Then what did their actions today amount to?

He felt pitiful and pathetic, and now he couldn't even contact his main body.

If it was true, as the Spirit of the God Realm said, that he and Lin Mu were on the same side, then those people outside were still being kept in the dark.

He originally thought he was the hunter, and Lin Mu was the prey to be slaughtered.

He never expected that the roles of hunter and prey would reverse in an instant.

At this moment, his body was gradually becoming transparent.

This Clone was about to die completely, and just as it was about to vanish.

He used his last breath of strength to unwillingly shout, “Hahaha, Liu Yang Gong, I’ll be waiting for you in the Infinite Purgatory.”

Before Jia Lan’s Clone died, he had already realized.

His main body was certainly doomed, and since Lin Mu and the Spirit of the God Realm were conspiring together, the other God Emperors in the Divine Realm would also undoubtedly be unable to escape.

Lin Mu watched as Jia Lan’s Clone completely died in his palm, then he casually flicked his sleeve and said lightly.

“The plan begins now. This Young Master will take his leave first; I’ll leave this place to you.”

As soon as Lin Mu finished speaking, his body vanished into thin air.

After Lin Mu left, the Primordial Spirit looked around, then he formed a hand seal with one hand.

“Unseal!”

His body instantly transformed into countless streams of colorful light, filling the entire Sea of Consciousness.

Lin Mu’s consciousness returned to the outside world, and he could clearly feel that his Sea of Consciousness was filled with the power of Origin.

He knew this was the Primordial Spirit’s masterpiece.

Lin Mu saw that everyone’s gaze was focused on him.

He said with authority, “Lin Mu is dead. This body now belongs to This Spirit.”

After Lin Mu spoke, the power of Origin on his body instantly spread out in all directions.

The Four God Emperors naturally recognized the aura of the Spirit of the God Realm.

The aura Lin Mu released was identical to that of the Spirit of the God Realm, and its power even surpassed what it once was.

Thus, they knelt down without a shred of doubt and said.

“Congratulations, Lord Spirit.”

The rest of the crowd naturally followed suit, shouting.

“Congratulations, Lord Spirit!!!”

For a time, sounds of congratulation were endless.

Lin Mu saw that no one had any doubts. So he waved his hand, signaling for everyone to be quiet.

After everyone had stopped shouting.

Lin Mu continued, “Since This Spirit has reappeared in the Divine Realm, I must naturally seek blessings for the people of the Divine Realm.”

“Below, I announce a message; listen carefully.”

“Please bestow your command, Lord Spirit,” the crowd respectfully shouted.

“From today onwards, anyone who has reached the God Monarch Realm Expert must arrive at the Zhang family in Wu'an City within one month.”

“After one month, This Spirit will hold a Grand Consecration Ceremony, where all God Monarch Realm Experts will have the possibility of becoming God Emperors.”

As soon as Lin Mu said this, some rejoiced while others worried.

Those who rejoiced were naturally all the God Monarch Realm Experts present.

Becoming a God Emperor was the ultimate dream of everyone in the Divine Realm.

Yet, in the Divine Realm over tens of thousands of years, there had only been a mere Four God Emperors.

One can imagine how difficult it was to become a God Emperor.

Now, this existence, revered even by God Emperors, actually said that all God Monarch Realm Experts could have the possibility of becoming God Emperors.

How could this not make them ecstatic?

Xuanyuan Potian and the other Four God Emperors, however, now wore expressions of worry.
