Ultimate Scheming System
chapter-1387

“What nonsense! How’s it possible for so many gods to exist? If you don’t behave, I’ll cut off your head. Do you think that I won’t do it?” Buttface shouted again and threatened the little fish.

Panic appeared on the little fish’s face, and it shouted anxiously, “I swear that everything I just said is true. You’ve just misunderstood what I meant. A Protector God isn’t a real god. It is said, according to what has been repeated throughout history by my tribe, that the Protector God’s power is on a par with a Celestial Emperor of your Human Clan. In the past, it was heavily injured by a Celestial Emperor of the Human Clan, and that is why it escaped into the seabed.”

“The Celestial Emperor stage!” Xu Que’s expression got less worried, and he exchanged a glance with Buttface, Duan Jiude, and the others.

A Celestial Emperor was much weaker than a god, but it could still cause great trouble for them now.

“According to our calculations, there are still two days left according to that prophecy. We should probably move Xuanyuan Wanrong into a different region. We may even come up with a way to release her. This will probably solve the Faction Leader’s crisis,” Mo Junchen suggested.

“Release her? That’s out of the question. She wouldn’t dare to kill this lad, but she surely wouldn’t let us off the hook. The woman is a lunatic,” Duan Jiude shook his head promptly and opposed this suggestion.

Xu Que kept his silence. He believed that Xuanyuan Wanrong wouldn’t dare to kill him, but he was still an obsession of that woman. If she captured him and imprisoned him somewhere, he would be disgraced thoroughly.

“How’s this possible?” Mo Junchen wore a confused look. “She’s the Faction Leader’s partner. Why wouldn’t she spare you?”

After Mo Junchen spoke, he looked in confusion at Xu Que, as if he was asking, “Didn’t you say that she was your partner? Why are you so afraid of her?”

Xu Que looked over at him. He was displeased by this question, and he took a deep breath, stuck out his chest, and raised his head. He answered in a deafening voice, “Duan Jiude, what do you mean by what you’ve just said? Do you think that I can’t control that lassie? Let’s go, you should all follow me inside. Today, I will let you see what a real man is.”

After Xu Que spoke, he strode forward ahead of the others, dragging Buttface and Duan Jiude, who wanted to escape, with him. He stepped directly into the Celestial Burial Valley.

“F*ck! Lad, let me go, I need to pee.”

“Lad, let’s discuss this properly. Don’t do this! Don’t take me with you and send me to my demise.”

Buttface and Duan Jiude started yelling loudly.

Mo Junchen was taken aback, and he couldn’t understand why Buttface and Duan Jiude were so afraid. He felt quite at ease as he observed Xu Que’s confident attitude.

The Faction Leader was so confident that it must mean he was sure about what he was doing.

This was what Mo Junchen thought before he followed Xu Que inside, along with Liu Jingning, the newly arrived members of the Exploding Heavens Faction, and the Eight-headed Serpent. They all entered the Celestial Burial Valley.

…..

Meanwhile, there was trouble brewing in an area of the seas next to the East Continent.

The wild waves that were raging were the only sign that a Sea Tribe army of a million troops was preparing for battle within it. They were all well-equipped and stood in formation on the seabed, ready for battle.

They had tens of Sea Tribe commanders who were clad in an armor of gold and silver. The commanders had taken on a human appearance, and they looked awe-inspiring. They stood in the water, looking up. It seemed as if they were observing and waiting for something.

Soon the water started surging, and a large black silhouette approached them from the rear. This was a giant turtle as big as a mountain.

“Lord, greetings!”

The Sea Tribe Army troops and commanders knelt on the ground and shouted their greetings at the same time.

The giant turtle looked straight ahead and replied calmly, “The ways of the world will change soon, and that person will awaken in a day. If you can’t occupy the Celestial Burial Valley, you will face dreadful consequences.”

“Understood!” The voices of the Sea Tribe Army troops resonated for miles and gave rise to massive waves on the sea surface.

…..

Other things were happening in the Northern Sea Area.

This was the area that included the Roc Tribe’s domain.

The Roc Tribe Leader led his clansmen up to the top of the highest mountain peak on the Northern Sea. He wore a grave expression as he looked at the distant sea and sighed in a low voice, “Great waves have started surging, and murderous intentions will soon be revealed. These are the signs that were left behind by our tribe’s ancestors, and I hoped that they wouldn’t come true in our era. The ways of the world will change, and our ancestors will return. Our tribe will rise up quickly.”

“Will our ancestors come back? This is a…Heaven Continent affair, isn’t it?” A middle-aged man of the Roc Tribe asked a question.

The Roc Tribe Leader nodded and replied, sighing, “That’s right, it’s the beginning of the Celestial Emperors Era, and all the tribes’ ancestors will come back. All the tribes will rise in great numbers, and the Human Clan will find itself in great trouble.

…..

Likewise, in the Western Desert, there were many signs of activity..

All the many temples in the Western Desert sounded their bells, which wonderful noise reverberated throughout the boundless desert, spreading for 10,000 miles.

In the center of the desert, there was a shabby, ancient temple that contained numerous rusty and stained statues of Buddha.

On this day, the sound of all the bells echoed all around the shabby temple.

The rust and stains on the statues suddenly disappeared, and they became brand-new. Each statue emitted a pure and holy golden light.

CREAK!

An old monk pushed open the door and went inside. When he saw the changes to the statues, surprise appeared on his face and his hands shook.

“Amitabha!”

He started calling Buddha’s name devoutly as he kowtowed on the ground.

The chants from the Buddhist scripture reverberated in the shabby temple.

…..

So too the Southern Continent was affected by the enormous commotion that was taking place in the world.

The Exploding Heavens Faction had just left the Southern Continent’s Mystery Land to enter the Celestial Burial Valley, when the Mystery Land turned into a flourishing region.

The former location of the Southern Continent’s Mystery Land was still empty and vacant.

On this day, the boundless sky was clear, but the air of the Southern Continent’s Mystery Land became distorted slightly and many ripples emerged there.

After several seconds, a pretty woman stepped out of the ripples.

She had long hair that waved in the wind and an ice-cold, stunning face. She had an apathetic demeanor, and she wore a wide Taoist robe that couldn’t hide her impressive curves.

This was a breathtaking Taoist Nun!

She was silent. She walked out of the void into the old location of the Southern Continent’s Mystery Land and sized up the surroundings before frowning. It seemed as if she didn’t like the changes in the surroundings.

No one detected her presence, and she wasn’t looking for anyone. Her pretty eyes turned in a certain direction.

“Joker, I have come to meet you. Are you…still here?”

She spoke in a low voice. She was nervous, restless, and filled with longing. Her body turned into a light beam that flew toward a distant region.

That was…in the direction of the Five Elements Mountain.

…..

With all this uproar going on everywhere, what do you think was going on in the Celestial Burial Valley?

Xu Que’s group had already eliminated the entrance’s restriction spells and stepped inside.

According to what the little fish had recounted, when the Sea Tribe vanguard came over, they caught the Eastern Continent cultivators off-guard. Later, most of the cultivators of the Eastern Continent that had rushed over here to provide assistance had suffered ambush and were defeated. They suffered disastrous casualties and were forced to escape into the Celestial Burial Valley.

The Sea Tribe believed that the Celestial Burial Valley was a holy land and so no one had dared to chase them inside. However, the Eastern Continent cultivators still set up restriction spells at the entrance, and they were mostly at death’s door.

When Xu Que’s group stepped into the Celestial Burial Valley, they detected a stifling aura that assaulted them.

Even though they didn’t detect any immediate danger, everything in the area gave them a stifling, even suffocating, feeling.

“This isn’t right. This place…isn’t as simple as I imagined it would be,” Mo Junchen said in a deep voice. He wore a grave expression as if he were facing a great enemy. Even a person as strong as he was didn’t feel at ease here.

“F*ck! I smell a horrible blood odor. 10,000 people have died here recently,” Buttface yelled excitedly.

As Duan Jiude surveyed the surroundings, his expression changed drastically, “Darn! The features of this place have changed. It seems like a giant furnace that views all living beings as offerings.”

After he spoke, he quickly took out his old tortoiseshell and shook it several times until several copper coins fell out of it. Soon after, he turned with a haggard expression and looked at Xu Que. He said, “We will likely die here!”
