After the second Chief God War, there were only seven Chief Gods left in the great world. Four on Xing Di's side, two on Flame Empress' side, and one on the neutral side.
The neutral one was Wu Yazi. Even Flame Empress didn't know his real name. He was born earlier than her, so she only knew that he was called Wu Yazi.
He was a carefree Chief God who didn't participate in the two Chief God Wars. Not only did he not participate, but he also hid when the Chief God Wars started. That was how he survived until now.
Flame Empress had gone to see him before, but he'd rejected her outright. Why did he suddenly come?
Flame Empress was bewildered, but she couldn't help but hope.
She flew quickly with Jia Luo. Wu Yazi was old, but he wasn't particularly strong. Flame Empress wasn't afraid of him, so she felt more at ease with Jia Luo.
After flying for half a day, Flame Empress and Jia Luo arrived outside the Boundless World. It was a small world, but it was a different world inside. Wu Yazi had been here for many years.
Without Wu Yazi's permission, it would be difficult for Flame Empress to enter, let alone shatter it.
"Buzz ~"
The Flame Empress was not in a hurry to enter. Instead, she took out a jade talisman and used it to contact the Star Emperor. After confirming that there was nothing out of the ordinary at Clear Lake and that the Punisher Emperor was still at Clear Lake, she shot out a stream of light towards the Boundless Realm.
The stream of light hit the Boundless World. A circle of light appeared on the surface and dissipated the stream of light.
"Whoosh!"
Fifteen minutes later, a boy in a Daoist robe flew out. When he saw Flame Empress and Jia Luo, he quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, Flame Empress. Greetings, Chief God Jia Luo."
Flame Empress nodded. Jia Luo continued to eat his spirit fruit. Flame Empress waved and said, "Lead the way!"
The boy brought the Flame Empress and Jia Luo and flew in, heading straight for a strange peak below. There were more than a hundred strange peaks below, and they all looked like bamboo shoots. The strange peaks were covered in clouds and mist, and it looked like a paradise.
These weren't ordinary peaks. They contained a mysterious formation. If Flame Empress and Jia Luo tried to barge in, they would probably be trapped for a while.
The boy brought Flame Empress and Jia Luo to a strange peak. There was a Daoist temple here, and the environment was beautiful. It was quiet and elegant, making people feel as if they had met a deity.
This was the second time Flame Empress and Jia Luo had been here, so they did not pay much attention to the scenery. They followed the boy into the temple and went straight to the highest level of the observatory.
A white-bearded old man dressed in a Daoist robe sat cross-legged on the Star Observation Platform.
He closed his eyes and sat cross-legged. When Empress Yan and Jia Luo came up, he opened his eyes and smiled. "You two are here?"
Empress Flame bowed slightly, but Jia Luo continued to chew on his spirit fruit, looking indifferent.
The Flame Empress said, "Senior Wu Yazi, I heard that you summoned us?
What's the matter? "
Time was of the essence and Xing Di was forcing Flame Empress to come out. Hence, Flame Empress didn't want to waste her breath and went straight to the point.
Wu Yazi smiled and called the boy over to serve tea. "Flame Empress, Jia Luo, please don't be impatient. Please have some tea first."
Flame Empress could only helplessly sit down. Jia Luo ignored her and continued to chew on his spirit fruit. Wu Yazi lowered his brows and drank a few mouthfuls before smiling. "Flame Empress, two Overgods fell recently. They were Emperor Li and Emperor Mo, right?
You subdued them? "
Flame Empress didn't hide anything and said, "Yes, I killed them myself.
Senior Wu Yazi, was I wrong? "
"Good job!"
Wu Yazi smiled. He then looked at Flame Empress and said, "I never thought Flame Empress would improve so quickly after cultivating for hundreds of thousands of years. Congratulations."
Flame Empress didn't say much and only smiled. "I was just lucky!"
Wu Yazi put down his teacup and said, "Flame Empress, how confident are you in dealing with Xing Di?"
Flame Empress was shocked. Wu Yazi was tempted?
She didn't brush him off this time and said, "Fifty percent."
Wu Yazi's eyes flashed as he quickly said, "What if you include me?"
Flame Empress pondered for a moment and said seriously, "That should be seventy percent. We have four Overgods on our side. Four against two. Senior Wu Yazi's magic power is strong. His chances of winning should be much higher."
"Alright!"
Wu Yazi suddenly stood up and said, "Flame Empress, count me in when you fight with Xing Di. Just let me know when the battle is confirmed. I will rush over immediately."
Jia Luo stopped chewing on his spirit fruit and looked at Wu Yazi suspiciously. Flame Empress didn't agree immediately. Instead, she asked, "Senior Wu Yazi, I would like to ask … why did you suddenly change your mind and want to join the battle?
Weren't you neutral all this while? "
Wu Yazi sighed. "The tree desires peace, but the wind never ceases. If Flame Empress and you fall, Xing Di will definitely not let me off.
I have no choice but to subdue the devil and return peace to the world. "
Flame Empress and Jia Luo looked at each other expressionlessly, but they were laughing coldly in their hearts.
Wu Yazi said he was neutral, but he was actually a coward. He was afraid of death.
Previously, when they came to ask for help, Wu Yazi directly rejected them. He said he was sanctimonious and didn't want to get involved in worldly disputes. Now that they had killed two Overgods and were confident of winning, he immediately wanted to join them.
If Flame Empress' side didn't have the confidence to win, Wu Yazi would probably disappear once the battle started and hide in a corner, waiting for the battle to end.
No matter what, an additional Overgod was an additional portion of combat power and a higher chance of winning.
Flame Empress and Jia Luo despised Wu Yazi's character, but they still welcomed him to join them.
Flame Empress smiled. "With Senior Wu Yazi joining us, we will definitely win this battle."
"When we prosper, all living beings suffer. When we perish, all living beings suffer even more!"
Wu Yazi sighed. "When Overgods fight, the living beings of the myriad worlds are the ones who suffer in the end.
I can only hope for peace and freedom for all living beings. "
"Let's go, Big Sister!"
Jia Luo couldn't stand it anymore. Wu Yazi was too pretentious. Flame Empress smiled bitterly and bowed to Wu Yazi. "Senior Wu Yazi, please wait for my news. Once the battle is confirmed, I'll send you a message and ask for your assistance."
"Alright!"
Wu Yazi stroked his long beard and watched Flame Empress and Jia Luo leave. Once they were gone, he closed his eyes and sat cross-legged. The stargazing platform regained its calm.
After Flame Empress and Jia Luo returned, Flame Empress pondered for two days. She asked Star Sovereign to send a message to the Sixth Heaven to decide life and death in five months.
Once Xing Di received the message, he ordered the Middle Realm Kings to withdraw their armies. At the same time, all the Perfected Ones were mobilized to the Sixth Heaven.
The Heavenly Chaotic Star Fields' cultivators were relieved to see the army leave.
The warriors here seemed to be frightened. Many warriors did not dare to stay in the Heavenly Chaotic Star Fields anymore. They fled to the nearby small domains, to the Second Sky, and even to the First Sky.
Many low-level cultivators didn't know what was going on, but they could feel that something big was about to happen. Something really big, at that.
If they dared to stay in the Heavenly Chaotic Star Fields, they'd be consigned to eternal damnation.
