Chapter 504: Chapter 392 Each’s Methods

When that voice sounded, Wu Xiaode was still stunned.

—It had been too long since he had heard such a voice.

He instinctively looked towards the Book of the Dead.

He saw lines of small characters, emitting a chill, that had already appeared on the pages:

"The debate has ended."

"Survival is an instinct that cares not for reason. By relying on such a genuine will, you have earned the admiration of the Heroic Spirits in this secret realm."

"The Heroic Spirits have pooled their power to enhance your Soul Power limit."

"Your Soul Power limit has been increased to 150 points."

"—This is the transformed Human Emperor’s Secret Realm, where Heroic Spirits might arrive at any time to observe the living and help them increase their strength."

"Additionally:"

"Considering that during this debate you have gained significant recognition and improvement, you may start a Death God Inheritance Trial at any time."

Wu Xiaode felt his heart tremble.

To think that he could achieve a 50 point increase in Soul Power just like that!

No wonder both the Destruction Council and the Ten Thousand Spirit Silence Association had to go through life and death battles, where the surviving side could win the opportunity to interact with the Heroic Spirits.

This was a real chance to survive the great calamity!

Unfortunately, there was only one hour left now, and he had to hurry to communicate with the Ten Thousand Spirit Silence Association. The Death God Inheritance Trial would have to wait.

He glanced at Caijing, lifted the seal, and said,

"Can this truly represent you?"

"It can," Caijing seriously said, "If your goal is to take down the Council Elders of the Destruction Council, I swear the Ten Thousand Spirit Silence Association will definitely help you, but I have one condition."

"What condition?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"You cannot say that I am trapped here, or I will surely lose power, and you will not be able to be of useful service either." Caijing said calmly.

"Don’t worry, I won’t talk nonsense. After all, the Human Emperor didn’t take your life. There must be some appreciation for talent, right?" Wu Xiaode encouraged inconspicuously.

—It wasn’t that he was soft-hearted.

This was the truth.

Upon hearing his words, a glimmer of spirit appeared in Caijing’s eyes.

"Go ahead, make a good impression."

She said.

"Thank you." Wu Xiaode activated the seal.

The next instant.

His form flashed, and he directly disappeared from the secret realm.

...

Ten Thousand Spirit Silence Association.

Main hall.

Just like the Destruction Council, the real powerholders of the Association had gathered together, making final preparations for the battle of life and death.

Suddenly.

The Void fluctuated.

"Hmm? This transmission power...it’s Saintess Caijing!"

Someone immediately said.

With a flash of light.

Wu Xiaode quietly appeared before everyone.

His hand was on his chest, and he had already swapped bodies through the Verdant Ivy Brooch.

This time he used his own body.

—The Ten Thousand Spirit Silence Association was a sworn enemy of the Destruction Council, likely to know of Arian.

Interacting with these people using his own body could avoid many unnecessary misunderstandings.

"Who are you?"

A man dressed in a golden robe demanded in a deep voice.

Wu Xiaode, holding up the seal, spoke:

"The Saintess has arrived in the Human Emperor’s Secret Realm, awaiting the descent of the Heroic Spirits. She has specially delegated me to convey crucial intelligence about the battle to all of you."

The people looked at the seal in his hand, sensing Caijing’s presence within it, and nodded slightly.

"I need to verify this."

The man in the golden robe said.

Wu Xiaode looked around, seeing that no one else interjected, clearly taking their cues from this man.

—It seemed this was the chief spokesperson of the Ten Thousand Spirit Silence Association.

"Take it, but please hurry. The battle of life and death will commence in an hour."

Wu Xiaode tossed the seal over.

The man in the golden robe caught the seal, and his Soul Power surged, immediately activating the seal.

"Caijing, answer my question, are you truly in the Human Emperor’s Secret Realm?"

The man in the golden robe asked gravely.

From the seal came Caijing’s voice: "Yes, President, I have received the final inheritance of the ancient Human Emperor. I am in the secret realm making final preparations for the descent of the Ten Thousand Spirits."

It was true!

Pe 예비ной на Ten Thousand Spirit Silence Association showed signs of joy on their faces.

But a few had a hint of doubt.

The man in the golden robe looked at Wu Xiaode, then said,

"The person you sent—"

"You can trust him! He is the one I chose to help you through difficult times." Caijing said straightforwardly.

"Why don’t you come back personally?" the man in the golden robe asked.

As he spoke, he waved his hand.

Wu Xiaode immediately saw a huge, boundless ghostly figure emerge in the void. It silently descended, leaning its head beside the man in the golden robe to listen carefully.

Everyone maintained quiet.

At this moment, Caijing spoke:

"To report, President, I have received a ’final’ from the ancient Human Emperor himself. I can be considered his descendant and must remain in the secret realm to prepare for the descent of the Ten Thousand Spirits."

The vast ghostly figure, upon hearing this, nodded its head.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The man in the golden robe also showed a smile.

—So the arrival of such a colossal creature could determine the truthfulness of another’s words!

Wu Xiaode thought to himself.

But Caijing was not one to be trifled with either; her words were measured, leaking no hint of deception.

She passed the trial!

Corpse Pile continued:

"There’s one hour left before the battle of life and death begins. You must win this trial battle with the help of my friend in order to meet with me in the secret realm," he said.

The enormous ghost nodded again.

Still the truth.

"I won’t say more, you must hurry,"

Corpse Pile concluded.

The light on the seal gradually vanished—

It seemed that Corpse Pile had directly cut off the communication.

Everyone looked back at Wu Xiaode.

The cold expressions on their faces had completely disappeared.

Even the man in the golden robe, who was the president, said with a smile,

"Thank you for coming in person, may I know if you have any guidance for our battle of life and death?"

He handed the seal over to Wu Xiaode with both hands.

Wu Xiaode took the seal and said gravely,

"The Destruction Council has already obtained the ’Heaven and Earth’ world’s Guardian God Forging Skill. They will bring a group of powerful guardians to fight you to the death."

The crowd stirred.

"I know those human-shaped puppets—they are very strong, stronger than divine spirits,"

said the man in the golden robe with a grim expression.

An elder beside him said, "We actually already knew this intelligence, but we didn’t mention it to avoid affecting morale. Why are you bringing it up now?"

Wu Xiaode put away the seal, and with a flick of his hand, he threw out a jade slip.

The man in the golden robe caught the jade slip and couldn’t help but ask,

"What is this?"

"This jade slip contains the intermediate Forging Method for the guardian of the human-shaped puppets,"

Wu Xiaode explained, emphasizing his words to make it clearer—

"The Forging Skill obtained by the Destruction Council is basic, only capable of forging basic human puppets."

Intermediate vs. Basic.

Now everyone understood.

Some even began to smile joyously.

"Don’t assume you will definitely win, because you only have one hour left to forge the human puppets. Hurry!"

Wu Xiaode cautioned.

The man in the golden robe’s face changed, and he bowed to him, saying, "There’s no time to delay, we will start forging the human puppets immediately!"

"This is your matter, I have already placed the chips for victory on your table. Farewell," Wu Xiaode said.

He took out the World Stone, infused it with Soul Power, and instantly disappeared from everyone’s sight.

Silence followed.

The man in the golden robe immediately shouted, "Come on, Elders of Storage, Forging Masters, all protectors, follow me! We do not have much time!"

"Yes!"

Everyone immediately stood up, ready to act.

...

The Shangmo family.

Seaside.

Wu Xiaode appeared quietly, his figure flashing.

The last hour.

It was uncertain how many intermediate human puppets the Ten Thousand Spirit Silence Association could forge.

But the Destruction Council also hadn’t had the jade slip for long, so the number of basic human puppets they could forge was quite limited.

Let them have a good fight indeed!

Qiong flew from a distance, landing behind him, and gently embraced him.

Interrupted in his thoughts, Wu Xiaode smiled and asked,

"What is it?"

"As per our family’s world establishment, we should be able to establish transfer portals with any other family’s world," Qiong said.

"Hmm?"

"But until now, that authority hasn’t been activated, and our world remains closed off."

"Why is that?"

"Only the elders have that authority, and they could propose to the Destruction Laws to do so."

"But there’s no reason for the Destruction Laws to block me like this," Wu Xiaode said, puzzled, "I am still the ’Hand of World Destruction,’ and it originally wanted to cooperate with me."

Qiong, filled with concern, said, "So there must be something we don’t know has already happened."

Wu Xiaode paused for a moment, scoffed coldly, "No matter what tricks they have prepared, they are going to the battlefield now. I’ll wait and see how many of them come back alive!"

Qiong leaned her head against his back, anxiously saying, "Just like you said, I’m afraid they’ve already devised a deadly move against you before leaving!"

Wu Xiaode fell into deep thought.

Less than an hour remained.

If the Council Elders were to target him, how would they do it?

Suddenly.

A giant Black Book appeared out of the Void.

"The Book of Destruction Laws itself has come!"

Qiong couldn’t help but exclaim.

The pages opened, and lines of black flame text appeared before them:

"’Hand of World Destruction’ Arian."

"In the previous battle at Corpse Pile Mountain with Siang, due to your actions, an elder perished on the spot."

Wu Xiaode replied seriously, "You should have watched the whole thing; that old fool sought his own death. It wasn’t my fault."

More lines of black flame text appeared:

"Indeed, that incident is not your fault."

"However, because you killed him, the Council Elders’ strength has been diminished for the upcoming battle of life and death."

"Following the Council Elders’ recommendation, you have been elected as the new elder."

"Unanimously approved."

"Please prepare yourself, as you will be participating in the battle of life and death between the Destruction Council and the Ten Thousand Spirit Silence Association as a member of the Council Elders!"
