Evil Venerable of the Sword Dao

However, after Zhou Yan revealed everything, Lee Ran’s mood remained heavy.

In fact, Lee Ran also knew Zhou Yan’s situation was not optimistic. After all, the destruction of the time axis was the most unsettling factor, abruptly interrupting all the strategic plans and layouts. The current situation of the triumvirate, though seemingly ideal, was actually the most brutal.

Lee Ran thought of the hazy image he had seen, sighed softly, and said, "Then let me first reveal the specific circumstances, and then inform Ji Wu and Chen and the others, so we can analyze and think together. All of them have been through the tests of the time axis; we will certainly find a way to cope."

Lee Ran said.

Zhou Yan nodded and said, "I’ll leave things here to you. I’ll first talk to the Pan Emperor to see what the situation is like, and by the way, probe Pan Emperor’s thoughts."

As Zhou Yan spoke, his figure suddenly vanished, leaving the place.

In fact, even when Zhou Yan appeared here, it was merely his will descending in the form of a physical entity, not truly entering this place.

After all, this was Zhou Yan’s own place of founding the Tao, a space he had created, and his real body could not enter this place.

Upon the return of his will, Zhou Yan immediately felt a very strong aura of summoning, this summoning aura just like the call from deep within his heart, extremely profound and fiery, reminiscent of the ultimate familiar call he encountered when he first passed by the Ancient Tomb Mountain.

Zhou Yan shivered all over, awakening from the intense lure of that voice, and his expression immediately became extremely grave.

"What is this? How could something at such a terrible distance forcibly disturb my mind! What kind of existence is this? Could it be related to the Soul Emperor?"

Zhou Yan’s heart was a bit restless, having experienced so much, he had lost composure; Zhou Yan could imagine how serious this situation was.

Recollecting himself, Zhou Yan immediately headed towards the Chaos Lake at incredible speed.

Meanwhile, Zhou Yan also once again began to connect with the Pan Emperor.

Without any hurdles, Zhou Yan quickly formed a space singularity with the Pan Emperor’s will, and through it, they immediately communicated as if face to face.

"The Soul Emperor is missing. What is your view on this, Pan Emperor?"

The Pan Emperor was silent for a moment and then said, "The Emperor deduced with the Eight Array Map and discovered a unique Heavenly Eye Land. It’s a way out, a way out of all our predicaments, but the process is perilous, a close call."

The Pan Emperor’s statement made Zhou Yan realize that Pan Emperor had also gathered all the Holy Spirits in his founding space for some kind of analytical discussion.

"Let’s first look at the situation of the Chaos Lake, and then we can exchange our views and analyze this ’Heavenly Eye Land.’"

After pondering for a moment, Zhou Yan proposed his view.

The Pan Emperor also agreed with this view.

Zhou Yan withdrawn his message, closed the space singularity, and then quickly flew towards the Chaos Lake.

On the other side, the Pan Emperor, after also withdrawing the space singularity, said nothing, nor did he immediately fly towards the Chaos Lake. Instead, his will instantly entered his own founding space.

In the founding space, most of the Holy Spirits of the Immortal Buddha Divine Race were present there.

Nuwa appeared by the Pan Emperor’s side for the first time and asked with concern, "What did Zhou Yan say?"

"Just as the Emperor predicted, he revealed nothing but said that later he would analyze with me together. It seems he must know something."

Nuwa was silent for a moment and then said, "The Human Clan and the Immortal Buddha Divine Race have completely split, and you know Zhou Yan’s character. Now the Thirteen Strange Women have been refined into the Evil Venerate Sword, effectively severing all his wives. This hatred, I don’t believe he can bear."

The Emperor spoke, "He actually is understandable, regarding the bigger picture, he is still quite good."

"No, that might just be what he wants us to see, making us overlook this. Emperor, tell me, in the previous Time Ancient Land, was there any life form that took advantage of Zhou Yan and didn’t end up suffering?"

Nuwa’s question left the Emperor stunned, unable to refute.

"Some of our inheritance is also in his hands, with the shifts in the time axis, the heritage that originated from us, such as Hong Yuqiao and others, have also become branches of the Human Clan. His refinement of our mind is not light, so we have to guard against him. Moreover, he holds a frightening piece on the chessboard—Lee Ran. Even with Lee Ran’s layout, we have to remain cautious."

Nuwa said in a deep voice.

"You are overstating it, Lee Ran is actually very loyal and righteous, and we have never really targeted him on the grounds of great justice."

The Emperor said.

Nuwa chuckled lightly, "Emperor, since the layout began, has Lee Ran ever failed?"

"Isn’t the time axis layout a failure?"

The Emperor retorted.

"Wrong, Lee Ran’s layout for the time axis merely aimed to let Zhou Yan achieve the Evil Venerate Realm and allow Zhou Yan to resurrect. He didn’t really calculate anything beyond that, and the outcome, he already achieved. As for Pan Emperor and Soul Emperor also breaking through, that was unexpected."

"So, how can it be said that his layout failed? He achieved the result he wanted, didn’t he?"

"Moreover, he profoundly knows that the key to his layout can succeed, must have other consequences, don’t you think he couldn’t foresee some adverse results? No, he knew, but simply didn’t care, as long as the goal was reached, the process didn’t matter."

Nuwa’s calm tone left the Emperor completely silent.

He wanted to argue, but each of Nuwa’s statements was utterly true.

It seems that Lee Ran really is such an existence.

The Emperor smiled bitterly and found himself unable to argue, thus saying nothing more.

Pan Emperor was silent for a moment and then asked, "Nuwa, what do you mean then—"

"I actually mean two things. First, the Soul Emperor and Zhou Yan are colluding, plotting against you, Pan Emperor, Zhou Yan taking the Evil Venerate Sword while the Soul Emperor inherits your bottom Origin.

This point, I believe, with Zhou Yan’s character, he is completely capable of doing, and the Soul Emperor, with such huge benefits, would certainly be tempted, and they actually could cooperate."

"And the other is, Zhou Yan did not ally with the Soul Emperor, and the Soul Emperor is truly missing, encountering an abnormality, or perhaps he found a very peculiar place, setting up an enormous trap, blocking our sensing power, waiting for us to meet our demise."

"Therefore, in any situation now, we must be extremely cautious."

Nuwa said with a grave tone.

This saying made the Emperor and Pan Emperor equally troubled.

Because if it is this way, then being close to Zhou Yan is not good, and opposing Zhou Yan is no good either.

Pan Emperor pondered for a long while, ultimately saying, "I have figured it out; rather than blind speculation, it’s better to be candid and truly open our hearts. No matter whether Zhou Yan has layouts or calculations, we should have a comprehensive exchange, see the situation. Such self-derived strategies are ultimately just armchair tactics."

Pan Emperor decided.

Nuwa wanted to stop him, but she knew, since Pan Emperor had made up his mind, it was settled and could not be changed anymore.

Nuwa sighed and said, "Now, given Zhou Yan’s realm and capabilities, if Pan Emperor really opens his heart to discuss, Zhou Yan naturally wouldn’t pretend, and by then, a conflict might erupt sooner..."

The Emperor nodded, "There may also be a real cooperation. If the former, then Zhou Yan must have joined forces with the Soul Emperor. If the latter... I fear the situation is even less optimistic."

Pan Emperor nodded and said, "Therefore, the most crucial thing now is to be prepared to face both unbearable outcomes, but the first is actually somewhat better. If it is the second, then it means the Soul Emperor truly found a reliance, then that is the true beginning of a disaster."

Pan Emperor said, then motioned to the Emperor and Nuwa, looked at the nearly a million remaining Immortal Buddha Divine Race lives in the distance, and sighed before leaving this place.

Subsequently, Pan Emperor did not hesitate and similarly flew at high speed towards the Chaos Lake.
