Chapter 2077 – Jumping Out Of Nothing
Hot mess? Of course there was a hot mess.
The entire Three Thousand was a hot mess.
With the demon bloodlines nearly completely exterminated, the demon gods were infinitely close to fully awakening. These bloodlines were the basis of them remaining undying. How would they be able to sleep with peace of mind when the bloodlines were almost extinct?
Each of the demon gods was a premier nihil powerhouse. If all three hundred and sixty-five acted in concert, they would strike with force beyond the nothing.
They would eclipse even the Fire God.
Dongfang Hao could end her not because he’d reached beyond nothing, but because his Sword of Chaos happened to counter the Forge of Heaven and Earth. If the three hundred and sixty-five truly awoke, then neither he nor the four spacetime travelers would be able to hold them off.
Lu Yun’s original plan was to slowly boil them alive by erasing one bloodline at a time. Conducting their movements this way wouldn’t alarm the demon gods.
However, more than one hundred bloodlines had been spontaneously terminated when the Fire God and Dongfang Hao clashed against each other. That’d jarred the demon gods to nearly full wakefulness.
Lu Yun’s departure had been to go on the run.
“We have indeed overlooked this matter… The demon gods are becoming a thorny issue,” Qing Buyi remarked with a long face. “If they return to full consciousness, that will accelerate their consumption of the Three Thousand’s core essence. Che will not be able to hold them off.”
Each of the four divine temples was staffed with twenty-seven thousand demon god guards, making for a total of one hundred and eight thousand guards. But after the enormous rebellion, the demon gods recovered their demonic nature and defected to the Divine Temple of Nothing.
Although only three hundred and sixty-five demon gods were left after the uprising, they were the strongest of their kind. All the same, their cultivation levels had declined from beyond nothing to nihil powerhouses after repeated injuries throughout the eras.
However, their instincts remained keen and sharp in their natures.
Come together and strike as one!
It was the strongest technique that God had created, and when all one hundred and eight thousand guards deployed the formation in conjunction, they were able to shake a divine temple.
Even though there were only three hundred and sixty-five left now, their combined force was still sufficient to obliterate a spacetime traveler.
“Let’s kill them first. One dead is one more down,” Chen Xiao took a deep breath. “We’ll be able to forestall their joint forces if we kill one more.”
“Not necessarily,” Moran Dongning stuck out her bottom lip. “I traveled to the past once and observed God inventing the Formation of Combined Force…”
“There has only ever been one God in the past, present, and future. You only saw an image of what he left behind.” Lu Feng dismantled what she was about to say.
“Oh bug off, an image is still an image of God inventing the Formation of Combined Force,” Moran Dongning grumbled. “Three hundred sixty-five formations lead to one hundred and eight, and then seventy-two, thirty-six, eighteen, seven, three…”
“Unless we execute them down to the last, they’ll be able to deploy the formation with only two of them. Strength beyond nothing!” Qing Buyi stared wordlessly at the sky. “How about we make a run for it and leave the Three Thousand to them? There’s nothing much to this world anyhow.”
“The Three Thousand points to the primordial world of immortals. If we give them this realm, then the primordial world of immortals won’t be able to ascend into the nothing.” Chen Xiao frowned.
“Do you four have any actual ideas?” Dongfang Hao interrupted irritably. “The sword in my hand is hungry!”
“How about we follow Lu Yun’s earlier plan and kill them one by one?” Qing Buyi asked hesitantly.
“They’re all awake and will know whatever we do. How do we kill them?” Chen Xiao flicked an annoyed glance at Qing Buyi and harrumphed, “And if my guess is right, Lu Yun calculated this outcome a long time ago and knows how to resolve it. He’s just mad that we didn’t tell him a lot of things, so he left.”
Lu Yun had let the Fire God go after asking her a few questions—although she was an important angle of attack to destroy the Divine Temple of Nothing, that was just one angle. Killing her would immensely diminish the capabilities of the divine temple, making it far more useful than keeping her alive.
Yet Lu Yun had let her go, which was an indication that he was angry that they’d kept things from him. He’d been living in lies—lies from the head honchos running everything, but also lies from those he viewed as his good friends.
You don’t say anything that I don’t ask you about, don’t you? Then very well, why should I tell you how to resolve this problem if you haven’t asked me?
It wasn’t him being petulant or miserly, but that they’d truly gone overboard this time. They should’ve given him time to prepare if they wanted to use him as bait. However, they used him to lure out a terrifying existence that he didn’t even know existed, and they’d done so without saying a single word before.
“Dongning, you go…” Lu Feng said hesitantly. “You’re the only one who didn’t know what we wanted to do, so you go apologize to him and ask how we should handle this…”
Moran Dongning heaved a long sigh and said pitifully, “I… actually knew since a very long time ago about what you guys wanted to do.”
Well, now no one knew what to do.
“Bunch of wimps dithering around like sissies. I’ll go,” Dongfang Hao snapped. “I know Lu Yun, he won’t just give up on this place. The chief worlds and primordial world of immortals will follow suit if anything happens to the Three Thousand!
“He had another nickname in the world of immortals—the Dao Saint! He keeps himself busy saving the world, so the Dao Saint won’t idly sit by if the world is about to go under!”
The four spacetime travelers looked at each other.
“I thought so at first, but Lu Yun has never cared about the world. He’s only ever cared about his people…” Lu Feng sighed. “He doesn’t care about the world perishing and creation dying so long as what he cares about survives. But as people, we need to live among the worlds…”
“Get to the point,” Chen Xiao frowned.
“Lu Yun has a world in his brain, right now! His Tome of Life and Death has manifested a nearly perfect existence! So what if the Three Thousand are destroyed? So what if the primordial world of immortals is destroyed? He just needs to move everyone to his brain!” Lu Feng snorted.
“What say you, Dao King?” Lu Feng called into the sky.
The Dao King’s replica appeared again. While his overseer replica was gone, he’d created another one. This one could only hold down the fort in the Three Thousand and prevent the demon gods from fully devouring its core essence. There was nothing else it could do against them.
“How about we tell Lu Yun what our true goal is?” the Dao King sighed. “Tell him that we want to use the Three Thousand as a springboard and the primordial world of immortals as a second springboard so we can jump out of nothing…”
