Chapter 564 – Zenith Heaven Political Strife

"I-Is that really Ju Chen?!" Jiang Lan and Fang Meirong were astonished. Could the invincible army of Lilim be destroyed with just a glance from Ju Chen?

RUMBLE

Ju Chen didn't stop. Everything in a radius of 10 kilometers vanished and was transformed into Chaos Element Qi. Yet, she was still hungry.

She turned to Jiang Lan and Fang Meirong. Then, she glanced at the other prisoners that had just been freed from the commotion.

Among the crowd, Ju Shoufen looked at her granddaughter in shock. She didn't recognize Ju Chen's aura and her current appearance.

The new Ju Chen looked around and snorted. She looked down on the people below.

"A bunch of weaklings. You can't even deal with these half-ass god-wannabe. Well, I can't blame you for that. You are no different than monkeys."

Ju Chen's remarks got on everybody's nerve. Even though she successfully killed Lilim's subordinates, she didn't need to say that.

Ju Shoufen was enraged, "Mind your words, Chen'er! We are all mortals. I never raised you to be this cocky! If you are this strong, you should have been more humble and respectful to your colleagues!"

"What colleagues?" Ju Chen sneered and opened her palm. Then, a lightning ball manifested and hovered over her palm, planning to destroy the entire Netherworld Realm, "From the beginning, the universe belongs to the Qilins. None of you monkeys have the right to-UGH! STOP RESISTING, DAMN WOMAN!"

The dark aura of the Chaos Qilin faded, and the lightning ball in her hand was dispersed. The silver aura of the body owner resurfaced and slowly converted the black mist as if the original Ju Chen didn't want the Qilin Saint to take over her body.

The haughty voice of Ju Chen turned into the usual cold voice of the former vampire, "Don't harm my family!"

Then, her voice changed again, "Fool! Return to the sea of consciousness and assimilate with me! Let me handle everything."

"Why should I merge with you when you're trying to kill my friends and my family? Who do you think you are?!"

"You don't need them. You only need me! I can restore my former power, and I can locate the souls of our fallen brethren. Then, we will rule this universe together!"

"Bitch! You're bad-mouthing my grandma, and you're looking down on my friends! I'm not assimilating with you! This body is originally mine! You can't steal it from me!"

"You fucking naïve whore. I gave you a chance, and you've ruined it. Fine! I'll erase your memory and take over this body!"

The silver and black mist began devouring each other to contest over the body.

Unfortunately, the silver mist was losing. The black mist rapidly consumed the white one.

The others could only watch Ju Chen's odd behavior and the weird mist from a distance. They were afraid of the Tribulation Lightning around her.

After witnessing everything, Ju Shoufen's face was pale as she came up with a theory of what might have transpired here - A soul of someone else had possessed her daughter.

The loli grandma mustered her courage and flew toward Ju Chen. However, a lightning bolt struck her.

"JU CHEN! DON'T LOSE TO THAT MONSTER! I'M HERE WITH YOU!"

Despite being struck by Heaven Lightning, Ju Shoufen endured it and got closer to Ju Chen.

CRACK

BOOM

Ju Shoufen could sense the burning heat of the lightning. Her entire body was numb, and she was on the verge of collapsing. However, she did not give up on her only granddaughter.

Ju Shoufen extended her hand toward Ju Chen and embraced her. She bellowed with all her might.

"LORD SUN CROW, YOUR VESSEL NEEDS YOUR HELP! PLEASE PROTECT MY ONLY GRANDDAUGHTER!!"

RUMBLE

Instantly after Ju Shoufen pleaded for help, the ceiling of the Netherworld was broken, creating a gaping hole that connected to another realm.

A large eye of an unknown being from the other realm moved closer to the hole. It stared into the Netherworld Realm.

It was the eye of Sun Crow, the sponsor of Ju Shoufen.

The eye of the crow curved upward as if it was in a good mood. Then, the voice of the deity resounded everywhere in the Netherworld.

"I thought someone was about to kill your granddaughter. Hell, who would have thought that your granddaughter is a reincarnation of a cocky pony. What a fucking coincidence!"

The words of the crow made everybody's ears bleed. Blood gushed out from their eyes and nostrils as the words of this crow were harmful to the mortals.

Even though it was harmful to others, Sun Crow continued to laugh and mock Ju Chen's other identity.

"To be honest, my Golden Crow Clan doesn't like the presence of those dirty cocky ponies. But since it's a request from my faithful vessel, I'll do you a favor."

A drop of a compound element, the Divine Sun Flame of Destruction, entered the Netherworld Realm and beelined toward Ju Shoufen and entered her body. Then, Ju Shoufen's presence grew and emitted a red aura, which mixed into the black and silver mist.

Suddenly, the Qilin panicked. The hoarse voice bellowed, "You idiot bird! How dare you intervene with my personal affair!?"

The eye of Sun Crow curved up into a mocking smile, "The Qilins never knew when to stop when others told you to. Well, first, I just gave you a warning shot not to overdo it. Secondly, you are not supposed to exist anymore, so I'm contributing something to the Heavenly Dao! My clan's providence will surely rise if I eliminate a dangerous individual like you. Also, committing good deeds can earn me Heavenly Merit! So, why not?"

"BASTARD! UGH!"

A portion of the black mist was consumed by the divine sun flame within Ju Shoufen's body, weakening the Qilin's consciousness in the process.

Ju Chen's silver mist suddenly regained momentum. It pushed back the black mist and started to expand.

The Qilin Saint bit her lower lips in anger, "Ju Chen! Are you going to give up the ultimate power of chaos?! I can make you an invincible deity!"

Ju Chen snickered. Her cold voice mocked the Qilin, "Had you respected my husband, my friends, and my family, I would have entrusted everything to you. But you are planning to break all ties with everybody! I'd rather remove your consciousness from my soul for good! I'll accept your memory, but I don't need you!"

"When I was in my prime, this stupid essence drop was nothing to me. Our true power is superior to that lowly corpse-eating crow! Think about it, you wench!"

"Even so, I don't need you! GET LOST!"

"FOOLISH WHORE! YOU AND I HAVE THE SAME SOUL! WE ARE ONE! UUUUAAAAAAGGGGHHHH"

With the help of Sun Crow's compound element essence, Ju Chen's silver mist completely devoured the black mist. Then, Ju Shoufen's power assimilated with her body and dantian.

The green Qilin scales reddened. Her hair, tail, and bodily hair turned crimson.

The Heavenly Lightning also reddened. Now, it started producing Divine Flame.

BOOM

7-Star… 8-Star… 9-Star…

Ju Chen's cultivation kept rising even though she had just reclaimed her body. The Sun Crow's power nourished her dantian and formed a sun to complete a star system in her dantian space.

Her eyes dimmed a bit, and crimson pupils could be seen. Still, her domineering aura weakened by a lot.

The lightning around her also dispersed and entered her forehead. Then, a tattoo of a fireball and lightning overlapped on her forehead between her brows.

Ju Shoufen faintly smiled as she sensed that her granddaughter won. However, she fainted and stopped breathing.

Ju Chen panicked. She caught her grandmother.

"Grandma!?"

Ju Shoufen's energy continued to flow into Ju Chen's body. Soon, all the loli grandma's hard work and Qi was emptied!

The youthful appearance of Ju Shoufen was no more. She returned to a withered old woman.

"N-No! Grandma! Talk to me!"

It was too late for Ju Chen to do anything. Her grandmother slowly dissipated into dust!

The Sun Crow cackled as he broke the ceiling and extended his divine Qi to seize Ju Shoufen's invisible soul, "As promised, I shall claim your soul, Ju Shoufen!"

"WHAT?!"

Everyone was shocked.

Ju Chen widened her eyes. She had realized what price she had paid to defeat the Qilin's consciousness.

"Sun Crow! Give me back my grandma!" Ju Chen activated the chaos domain to bring back Ju Shoufen's soul.

But Sun Crow's power was too strong. He easily pulled Ju Shoufen's soul to the other side.

He grinned, "If you want to resurrect your grandma, join the Golden Crow Clan, Ju Chen! Be my vessel, and we shall shelter you and resurrect Ju Shoufen!"

"!!!"

BOOM

Again, Sun Crow's voice harmed every mortal here. The weak disciples collapsed and suffered a serious concussion because of his voice pressure.

Among the injured people, Jia Wenhe struggled to stand up straight. He cursed the Sun Crow, "You hypocrite! You killed your vessel to seduce her granddaughter! Ju Chen, don't follow him to his world! Don't believe in him!"

The eye of the Sun Crow glanced at Jia Wenhe. A second later, Ju Chen's father's body was exploded and turned into a blood mist!

Then, Jia Wenhe's soul was pulled into the other side.

"Now, I have two souls. If you keep hesitating, I will kill the others and bring their souls here. How about it, Ju Chen? Join me!"

"SUN CROW!!" Ju Chen shed tears of anger. She blamed herself for harming her family, and she hated Sun Crow for betraying her grandmother.

"I guess that's not enough to convince you. How about this?"

Sun Crow's eyes shifted as he looked around. Then, he spotted a group of young orcs, who were Mao Miaomiao's children.

BOOM

The orcs suffered the same fate as Jia Wenhe. Their soul entered the Golden Crow's Realm.

"NOOOO!!"

BOOM

BOOM

The other population of Siren City died one after another. Sun Crow was on a killing spree!

BANG

Suddenly, a deafening loud noise came from the Sun Crow's realm and the eye disappeared.

Something had hit the Sun Crow hard that his bone was broken, and he was flung away from the hole.

BOOM

BOOM

Sounds of combat followed. Then, everyone could hear a clear voice of a valiant man.

"HOW DARE YOU KILL MY DISCIPLE'S FAMILY!?"

The voice of Sun Crow seemed panicking and mortified, "Sun Wukong! What's the meaning of this?! Is the Heavenly Buddha Sage waging war against my clan?!"

"I should be the one asking you that question! Lu Fengxian's soon-to-be family is under the jurisdiction of ME, the Invincible Guardian of Nirvana Realm! Who the fuck do you think you are laying your hands on my disciple's family!?"

BOOM

While Sun Wukong, aka the Monkey King, was fighting the Sun Crow, a giant gold hand of Buddha broke the Netherworld's ceiling and retrieved the prisoners and the dead souls of Jia Wenhe, Ju Shoufen, and Miaomiao's orc children.

The soothing voice of Buddha echoed in the Netherworld Realm, "Get on my hand, children."

All prisoners rushed to the giant hand of Buddha and got on it. Some climbed the golden arm while the rest carried the injured to the hand.

Unfortunately, the hand could not carry everyone.

Ju Chen and the others capable women stayed behind. Jia Shan, Pang Lingming, Zhou Gongjin, and Pao Luo also sacrificed their space for elders and innocent children.

The hand of Buddha carried them to the other side. But then, another hand of Buddha came down to pick the rest of the crews.

"Come, honorable ones. We shall not abandon you."

Ju Chen, Jia Shan, and the others heaved a sigh of relief. They got on the Buddha's hand and migrated from the Netherworld Realm.

Back to Miaomiao

After hearing Adam's third bad news, Miaomiao was relieved. Rather than calling it a piece of bad news, it was good news!

'I wouldn't call it good news if I were you,' Adam sighed.

'What? What's wrong with Buddha and Sun Wukong?'

'Sun Crow is the 9th prince of the Golden Crow Clan. Even though Sun Wukong can beat the shit out of him, the Divine Golden Crow Emperor won't leave this matter alone. There will be war soon.'

Now, Miaomiao was concerned, 'Can you tell me what happened to Ju Shoufen and others next?'

'So far, they're safe… for now.'

'You're telling me that I don't have much time.'

'Exactly. Be sure to get stronger and get promoted to a core disciple as soon as possible, so I can openly mobilize my forces to help you and join the upcoming war between the Golden Crow Clan and the Buddha Nirvana Realm. As you are now, I can't contribute shit.'

'Can't you just help me now?'

'Politics. I need to save face and protect my reputation. Fuxi's men will find fault with me if I give preferential treatment to anyone, especially if I declare war on a major clan for the sake of a fucking weak-ass mortal. I also don't want Eve's men and the Jade Emperor's men to mess with me. I already have enough headaches. Don't give me another one, or I'll die to migraine.'

'Jade Emperor? Eve? Fuxi? You lost me.'

Two new names alarmed Miaomiao. He didn't want to get involved with other powerful deities or sages at the moment.

'Eve is now a disciple of the Great Dao Sage. The Jade Emperor is also the disciple and the King Piece of the Jade Sage. Fuxi is Nuwa's Dao Companion, but he's also another sage. Oh, by the way, Hongjun is actually a fucking big shot in Zenith Heaven since he is the mentor of the Great Dao Sage, the Jade Sage, and the Virtuous Sage. The one that sponsored your channel is a pawn of Hongjun. Be careful not to fall into the trap of Minghe and Hongjun.'

'Rather than falling to the trap whatsoever, I'm freaking confused. There are too many names to be remembered.'

There was too much information to digest. Miaomiao's limited intelligent couldn't keep up.

'Forget it. Don't bother about the political world of sages. Concentrate on getting stronger. Once you're a deity like me, you can enjoy the headache of the Zenith Heaven's political strife with me.'

'I'd rather not, but thank you.'

The communication was cut short as Miaomiao's brain overheated. Still, he was glad that his family members were fine.

He wondered how everyone was doing, especially Wei Yuan.

From Adam's testimony, Meng Po busted her and Clem out together, but the Meng Clan was in cahoots with the Olympians.

This didn't bode well. Now, Miaomiao had a headache.

'Shit. Having too many wives is a headache. I shouldn't have fucked around so much. Dammit, my D. No more waifu, okay?'

Miaomiao looked down and stared at his pants. The thing inside them twitched as if it disagreed.

'Oh, well.. Time to speed-run again.'
