Chapter 433: Chapter 387: Brothers Conspire

"Since you were able to deceive the mistress and even the family head tacitly allowed you to come here to kill me... they must feel that you are more controllable than I am,"

Abner said slowly.

Wu Xiaode cast his gaze downward, not picking up the conversation.

So you look down on your brother that much?

Forget it, forget it, it’s none of my business if you look down on Arian.

—Correcting one’s opinions is very hard.

But adding a little something to them is extremely easy.

Wu Xiaode nodded and said:

"That’s right, I too felt like I was in a dream, until I accidentally discovered something strange about our father."

"What’s the strange thing?" Abner asked curiously.

"You know about the skull necklace he carries with him, don’t you?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"Let’s not talk about that," Abner immediately said.

—It seems he knows about it.

Which is to say, Abner might also have his suspicions, maybe even heard it from father’s own mouth.

But he consciously avoided it.

After all, he was the strongest in the entire family, having received long-term affection and care from our father, as well as cultivation.

Abner turned his back and looked at the huge shadow outside the arena.

That was his end.

No.

That was the end his father gave him, so he could create a brilliant future for the family.

Wu Xiaode wisely didn’t say anything.

He quietly waited for Abner to fully accept the situation, and then—

"The time you lost to me, was it true or false?" Abner asked.

Wu Xiaode shrugged and said, "It was true, I couldn’t beat you, which is why the mistress gave me quite a few things this time, and father’s ’Absolute Severance’ is also in my hands."

Abner was silent for a long time.

Wu Xiaode still didn’t rush him, just stood quietly aside.

Firstly, he discovered the truth on his own, letting him know about the existence of the curse;

Secondly, upon knowing the curse’s existence, faced with the mistress and the family head, he was helpless on his own and needed someone to support him;

Thirdly, he came fully prepared; if he really fought with him, it was likely they would both suffer, and when that happened, those waiting in the shadows would surely leap out to pick the fruits.

As long as he’s not a fool—

Abner suddenly turned around, fixing his gaze on Wu Xiaode:

"Let me guess, if we brothers start fighting and either both get injured, or one dies and the other is injured, immediately there would be other branches of the family jumping out to take our place and claim the merit of blocking the ’Heaven and Earth’ world’s passage."

That’s right.

It’s convenient to talk with a smart person.

"—Even that person might very well be the family head himself," Wu Xiaode said.

Abner nodded in agreement.

"Who would have thought my brother stumbled upon the real problem," he sighed.

Wu Xiaode waited a long time until then, and gently pushed once more.

"Abner," he began, speaking slowly and clearly, "you want to kill the one who cursed us, regain your freedom, and lead our family to the strongest!"

"Kill the one who cursed us... lead our family to the strongest."

Abner repeated the words, feeling the conviction in his heart grow even stronger.

But now its focus had shifted—

Towards its liberator.

Luckily his brother pierced through the conspiracy, or else wouldn’t he have been controlled by others for life?

Abner shuddered, then shook his head and said:

"Arian, you mustn’t die."

"Why?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"Our family has only you and me left now. Once you die, my curse will continue through my descendants, and we will never see the light."

"Once you die, I will also take on your curse, facing the same fate," Wu Xiaode said.

The two looked at each other.

At that moment, the relationship between brothers, mediated by an unknown end curse, was reestablished and became incredibly solid.

"What should we do next, do you have any ideas?"

Abner sheathed his sword and asked.

Wu Xiaode said, "They want me to kill you—as Wu Xiaode."

"They’re waiting to reap the fruits of the ’Heaven and Earth’ world’s destruction," Abner said.

"We can’t let them have their way," Wu Xiaode said.

"We must not let them have their way! I’ll flee now, hiding in the shadows, and the moment they appear, I’ll take them out," Abner said.

"You’re not concerned with the Destruction Council’s final battle against the ’Heaven and Earth’ world’s protector gods?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"I only care about our family; who cares about their life or death," Abner snorted.

He even gave Wu Xiaode a somewhat surprised look.

Wu Xiaode adjusted instantly, musing aloud, "What I care about is keeping this merit always belonging to our family and being able to pick it at any time."

"I see, so what do you plan to do?" Abner finally nodded in understanding.

"I’ll pretend I’ve already killed you and infiltrate the ’Heaven and Earth’ world as ’Wu Xiaode’, becoming the hero of this world," Wu Xiaode said.

"And I will hide in the shadows. If they become alert, then I will sneak back into the family and find the one who cursed us," Abner said.

"Stay in contact with me at all times," Wu Xiaode said.

"Okay."

The two brothers exchanged a look, feeling a mutual understanding.

"Arian, my brother, you have grown stronger and smarter, which is good,"

Having said this, Abner waved his hand and dismantled the whole arena.

The two found themselves in a dark space, about to return to the "Heaven and Earth" world the next instant.

Wu Xiaode scoffed.

"Foolish brother, you’ve been cursed, be careful. If you die, I’ll be cursed as well."

"Rest assured, even if you die, I will not." Abner said.

A bracelet was thrown over.

"Use this to contact me."

Having said that, his figure flashed, and along with the terrifying monster of the end behind him, instantly vanished into the void.

Wu Xiaode fell and once again stood in the world of "Heaven and Earth".

Around him stood several human puppets, trying to find ways to attack other lifeforms on the ground, thereby gaining the chance to continue their existence.

Indeed, Abner’s end—

The Destruction Struggle was taking effect.

Any person, if they didn’t kill an opponent within one minute, would die.

In addition, all spatial passages had been sealed off.

What a formidable end!

Suddenly, a voice came from the bracelet on Wu Xiaode’s hand, "I’ve removed everything, remember to act like a hero."

As the voice faded.

All the human puppets suddenly sensed something.

"The shackles have lifted!" a human puppet shouted.

Wu Xiaode took a deep breath and yelled loudly:

"Everyone, I have taken down that guy. You need to re-establish the spatial passage and bring our companions back—quickly!!!"

The human puppets looked at him, cheered in unison, and immediately began making handprints to create a spatial passage.

It took barely a moment.

A passage leading back from the Floating City of the Destruction Council was established.

One after another, human puppets flew out of the passage.

After nearly all had returned to the world of "Heaven and Earth"—

Boom!!!

A terrifying and unmatched aura of destruction came from the passage.

It was as if the entire world inside had been annihilated and no longer existed.

The human puppets all felt a chill of fear.

A few particularly powerful and grand human puppets regained their composure and looked around.

"Which comrade has re-established the passage?" the leading human puppet asked.

All the remaining human puppets looked towards Wu Xiaode.

One human puppet saluted and said:

"Report!"

"This human puppet, crafted by The Queen Mother of the West herself, has defeated a ’Destruction’ holder who was specially sealing off passages and lifted the ban, allowing us to re-establish the spatial passage."

At that moment.

All eyes of the human puppets were focused on Wu Xiaode.

Another human puppet said:

"I know him! During the battle in the Floating City, he bore the attacks of all enemies, collected their ’Destruction’, and allowed us to keep advancing."

A third human puppet stepped forward and added, "That’s right, despite being a warrior puppet personally forged by the Great Venerable, he always took the lead and confronted those ’Destructions’ at the forefront."

The looks from the human puppets grew even more reverent.

Wu Xiaode looked around and waved his hands:

"You brothers flatter me; I only did what I should have done."

The leading human puppet exchanged a glance and whispered for a while with the few powerful human puppets beside him.

After a moment.

He stepped forward, saluted Wu Xiaode, and said:

"Human puppet of The Queen Mother of the West, you have saved us and prevented the world from descending into a path of destruction, and for this, you have performed a great service."

"Summon the heavenly decree!"

The other human puppets around him simultaneously made handprints.

Deep in the sky, a book emitting deep blue Thunder Light quietly appeared.

"With your merits today, you are hereby promoted to the Chief Inspector of the Thirty-Three Heavens, to oversee all regions, rewarding the good and punishing the evil. Do you have any objection?"

"I dare not." Wu Xiaode saluted.

The Human Puppet Leader pointed to the heavenly decree and said:

"Good, nothing in this world can be hidden from the heavenly decree; it sees all merits and karma. Now, let’s see if it acknowledges your deeds."

All human puppets quietly looked up at the book.

Wu Xiaode couldn’t help but look up as well.

He was now impersonating Arian and had further disguised himself as Wu Xiaode—

Would the book be mistaken?

If it recognized him as Arian, wouldn’t it unleash a barrage of retributive thunder to scatter his Divine Soul?

He was apprehensive only to see the heavenly decree slowly open, emit a glow, and form a few large characters in the air:

"This proposal is denied!"

Denied!

It had not agreed!

The human puppets all exclaimed in surprise, and the leader showed an unexpected look.

—Could it be this human puppet’s merits are insufficient?

Or was there deception involved?

Wu Xiaode also grew nervous.

—Surely it isn’t really going to strike me with retributive thunder!

As he braced himself, contemplating whether to hide in the Future Era, an abrupt change occurred—

The heavenly decree once again burst forth with a beam of light, manifesting in the void, revealing several large characters:

"As Guardian God Wu Xiaode has performed many great services, he rightly deserves a promotion. Therefore, he is specially appointed as:"

"The Chief of Ning Shen Temple in the Immortal Peach Orchard!"
