Chapter 525: Chapter 373 Compromise_2

"Respected Daoist, you’re actually backing down? Could it really be because of the identity of Tongtian’s fated child?" Origin Supreme muttered.

He was utterly baffled.

In his memory, Supreme of the Dao Realm wasn’t this kind of person.

Even if it was the identity of the child of fate, it shouldn’t make him overly wary.

Not far from the Sword Realm, Xia Feng held a liquor jug, frowning.

"Sword Immortal, where exactly are you?"

At the same time, Li Zhu was also taken by Supreme of the Dao Realm into the Dao Realm.

"Respected Daoist, with your capabilities, can you not subdue the Sword Realm?"

This tone seemed to be asking, but it carried a bit of reproach.

She knew that Respected Daoist had the power to annihilate her, but she also knew that he wouldn’t lay a hand on her until a certain point.

"The Sword Realm has the child of fate. Moreover, you’ve clearly seen the reaction of the chaos realms. Even if you are the Child of Origin, would you dare to defy the will of countless worlds?" Supreme of the Dao Realm retorted.

Li Zhu fell silent instantly.

Indeed, she dared not.

"The Epoch Cataclysm is approaching, and the Primordial Source sent me here to resist the great catastrophe. This time, I am only ranked ninth on the Qingyun List, I’m afraid I won’t see the legendary Chaos Martial Ancestor," Li Zhu said, frowning.

The descent of the Qingyun List, how could the Primordial Source not know?

Moreover, this wasn’t the first time the Primordial Source probed the Qingyun List, trying to uncover its secrets.

Unfortunately, it was unsuccessful.

That’s why it suppressed Li Zhu’s strength, looking for a different approach.

Unfortunately, it seems this time will likely fail.

"What kind of existence is Chaos Martial Ancestor, exactly? Has the Origin not told you?" Supreme of the Dao Realm asked.

"The appearance of Chaos Martial Ancestor was unexpected even for the Root. And the birth of the Vast Wilderness wasn’t from the Root either," Li Zhu replied.

In the Epoch of the Myriad Realms, the Root birthed the Realms.

But the Vast Wilderness was not birthed by the Root of Myriad Epoch.

"Concerning Chaos Martial Ancestor, everything is a mystery. No one knows what kind of plans he is making." As Li Zhu finished speaking, she looked towards Supreme of the Dao Realm, and said, "On this occasion, the Origin has ordered that all Supremes must establish a line of defense together, and the Origin has already made arrangements. If the arrangements are complete, the likelihood of surviving this Epoch Cataclysm is high."

Although her words were vague, their meaning was actually quite clear.

She wanted to use the Primordial Source to pressure the Supreme.

Seeing that the Supreme of the Dao Realm remained indifferent, Li Zhu spoke with some displeasure, "Respected Daoist, as the Root of Myriad Realms, the layout made by the Primordial Source is absolutely the most beneficial and suitable for the Myriad Realms."

"No need. I have my own plans," the Supreme of the Dao Realm said slowly.

Li Zhu was full of confusion.

With the advent of the Epoch Cataclysm, shouldn’t these Supremes be the most panicked?

Having survived endless ages, now with the Cataclysm looming, it was as if a hanging blade might fall at any moment.

What was going on with the Respected Daoist?

She didn’t understand.

"Since you were born from the Root of the Myriad Realms, then of course the Myriad Realms will acknowledge your identity as the Child of the Origin and will give you the treatment you deserve. But some things, meddle less!"

Upon hearing the words of Supreme of the Dao Realm, Li Zhu instantly felt a surge of anger.

As the Child of the Primordial Source, she was like a Military Governor dispatched from above, even acting as the commander-in-chief.

And now, what the Supreme of the Dao Realm meant was to sideline her, giving her no power at all?

"Respected Daoist, I carry the orders of the Origin..." Li Zhu was about to speak further, but a glance from Supreme of the Dao Realm made her instantly fall silent.

"I’ve said, if I wanted to kill you, even the Primordial Source couldn’t protect you. I am beyond the reach of the Primordial Source in my actions," Supreme of the Dao Realm said, and suddenly, a female apparition appeared behind Li Zhu.

This apparition, as if made of golden light strands, yet the figure formed was exquisitely detailed, realistic.

And the most striking thing was the aura of the apparition, as if encompassing everything, providing all beings with a warmth that was hard to express in words.

When this figure appeared, a smile immediately blossomed on Li Zhu’s face.

This female figure was none other than the incarnation of the Origin.

Whether it be the Primordial Source or the laws of chaos, they didn’t possess so-called personal desires and emotions.

Usually, they would not appear unless absolutely necessary.

Now, as the great Epoch Cataclysm was approaching—moreover, it was the most severe in history, even potentially the last representing all endings—they had made an appearance.

So previously, the Rules had shown themselves.

And now, the Primordial Source had appeared as well.

With the appearance of the Origin, Li Zhu knew her support had arrived.

She didn’t need to complain, because she knew the Origin would know everything.

Even a Supreme must bow before the Primordial Source.

"I have seen the Primordial Source, my Lord," the Supreme of the Dao Realm performed a ceremony.

This salute was primarily because the Epoch Primordial Source had given birth to the Myriad Realms. In a way, the Epoch Primordial Source was also his mother.

"Dao, I have given birth to countless beings, nurtured innumerable realms. Among all the beings I have nurtured, you are the strongest, the most cunning. This great catastrophe represents an end; I have sent Li Zhu to implement the plans. I need a reason for you to refuse."

The voice of the Epoch Primordial Source was very gentle, yet it possessed an immense authority.

She spoke, making no mention of the matters of the Sword Realm.

Perhaps the affairs of the Sword Realm were not of great concern to her.

As Li Zhu smiled by the side, the Supreme of the Dao Realm waved his hand directly, a spiritual light falling into the hands of the Epoch Primordial Source.

A moment later, the spiritual light dissipated, and the Epoch Primordial Source let out a long sigh, looking deeply at the Supreme of the Dao Realm.

"Though I am reluctant to admit it, your arrangement is indeed stronger than mine. I hope you can protect the Myriad Heavens as in the last Epoch. In the future, Li Zhu will act as our bridge of communication, and Li Zhu will follow your arrangements."

Having spoken, the Epoch Primordial Source dispersed without further ado.

Li Zhu: ???

What is this situation?

The Epoch Primordial Source, by right, should reign supreme over the Supreme.

Despite the Epoch Primordial Source appearing congenial, everyone knew she was equally domineering.

The difficulty of making her change her original decision was unimaginable.

Could it be, that bit of spiritual light given to the Epoch Primordial Source by the Respected Daoist just now?

What exactly was it?

Before Li Zhu could ponder further, the voice of the Supreme of the Dao Realm sounded, "Once the Qingyun List is announced, you should have a chance to meet the Chaos Martial Ancestor. Then you should connect with the Epoch Primordial Source and investigate."

"Yes!" Li Zhu did not dissent.

She dared not dissent.

From the attitude of the Epoch Primordial Source just now, she could tell.

In the heart of the Epoch Primordial Source, the Supreme of the Dao Realm was more important than herself.

The words of the Supreme of the Dao Realm carried more weight than hers.

Indeed, even if the Supreme of the Dao Realm were to kill her, the Epoch Primordial Source would probably say nothing.

"But being not within the top three on the Qingyun List, I fear I may not meet the Chaos Martial Ancestor..." Li Zhu hesitated for a moment.

"Myriad Realms... There will be someone in the top three..." murmured the Supreme of the Dao Realm.

At this time, the Qingyun List was also updated with a new ranking.

Name: Kui Feng

Faction: Epoch of Destruction

Ranking: Seven

The name of Kui Feng was also circulating in the Epoch.

Back then, he was a formidable person who could compete with Liquor Sword Immortal.

His strength was tremendous, capable of stirring storms within the Epoch.

And everyone understood that he, too, was reincarnated and practicing anew.

At this moment, Kui Feng’s robust body, tall as a tower, was trembling slightly.

He found it somewhat hard to accept.

Seventh!

For others, this was already a respectable ranking.

But for Kui Feng, it was not enough, far from enough!

He was Kui Feng, after all, the second strongest person in the Epoch of Destruction, second only to the Supreme.

Initially, Kui Feng felt that no one except Xia Feng could compete with him for the first position on the King’s List, but now...

"Kui Feng, only ranked seventh!?"

Even Xia Feng, who was drinking, was taken aback.

Kui Feng’s prowess, he could say, was not inferior to his own.

Even now, in his reincarnation, his grasp of the Laws should still be strong.

But why was he ranked seventh?

If he was ranked seventh, wouldn’t his ranking also fail to meet expectations?

If so, who occupied the top rankings, and who was qualified to claim them?
