The Quest for Immortality

How could Brother Mo... strangle me?

He...

Yu Er frowned, realizing instantly.

”Oh, Brother Mo is about to deceive again...”

Yu Er blinked; he himself didn’t want to deceive, but he also didn’t want to hinder Brother Mo’s deceit, nor could he expose Brother Mo:

”What should I do?”

At that moment, Mo Hua felt his neck being softly squeezed by Brother Mo again, but Brother Mo’s hand was soft, warm, and the grip didn’t hurt. Then Mo Hua heard:

”Your Divine Lord is in my hands...”

”He has just descended, currently fusing with the flesh fetus, his consciousness like that of an infant. It won’t be long before he fully merges and truly descends into the world. At that time, the first person he sees will be me, and he will truly regard me as kin...”

Yu Er was startled and then suddenly understood, realizing this was Brother Mo reminding him about his current ”role”.

He is a newly born Divine Lord.

He hasn’t yet come into the world, his consciousness like an ”infant”.

Infant...

”I understand.”

Yu Er nodded slightly, then his gaze went blank, his expression dazed, pretending to awaken from a nightmare, unaware of everything and everyone in the world.

Seeing this, Mo Hua was secretly pleased, inwardly praising Yu Er’s cleverness.

This child had been with him for so long, he indeed had comprehension and was greatly in tune with him.

Close to Mo, thus darker.

A dark-hearted dark.

And Mr. Tu’s expression trembled, not suspecting anything.

Because the moment Yu Er opened his eyes, he truly felt a tremor inside, a strong impulse to kneel in worship.

This indicated that within Yu Er, the Divine Lord had indeed awakened.

Even now, he could feel an aura of the ”Evil God” surrounding Yu Er.

However, he was uncertain of the current ”existence” state of the Divine Lord.

The Divine Lord seemed to be born, yet also seemed to vanish, his aura flickering.

But if following Mo Hua’s words that after the Divine Lord’s birth, he is in the stage of merging with the Divine Fetus, then it all made sense.

Because merging is happening, erasing cause and effect, the aura is faint.

Once fully merged, the Divine Lord will truly ”open his eyes” and see this world filled with sacrifices of flesh and blood.

At this thought, Mr. Tu was uncontrollably excited.

Then, his expression turned cold, inwardly saying:

”We mustn’t let the Divine Lord fall into the hands of the fierce god of Taixu Gate; otherwise, if the Divine Lord is swayed and recognizes foe as kin, it would ruin all my efforts over the millennia.”

His devotion to the Great Wilderness God Master made his bloodline surge.

Mr. Tu looked at Mo Hua, his eyes revealing deep killing intent:

”Let go of the Divine Lord. The Divine Lord is noble, not an outcast deity like you can touch.”

Mo Hua pinched Yu Er’s white little cheek, sneering, ”And what if I do touch?”

Mr. Tu felt his lifelong faith deeply tainted, anger rising, his seven orifices seething with evil.

Yet as Mr. Tu was seething with rage, Mo Hua’s mind suddenly spun, and he caught sight of Shangguan Wang nearby, his eyes lighting up instantly as he pointed:

”Shangguan Wang!”

Shangguan Wang was startled.

Being pointed at and directly named by a little Foundation Establishment cultivator from a high place, he should have felt anger, but the current Mo Hua had a mysterious aura, his gaze was profound, and everything he said and did was different from before.

It seemed within him lay another more powerful ”existence,” even Mr. Tu seemed quite wary of him.

This made Shangguan Wang dare not act rashly, nor calculate such trifles.

Mo Hua directly commanded him:

”You, go kill Mr. Tu. Once the Divine Lord is reborn and his will awakens, I will credit you and grant you immortality!”

Divine Lord’s blessing, immortal life!

Shangguan Wang was in a daze, his eyes instantly turning red.

But to actually kill Mr. Tu, he was somewhat hesitant.

Mo Hua gave him no time to think and looked toward Yin Corpse Valley and Demon Sword Sect’s Feather Transformation, saying:

”If you kill Mr. Tu, I can also ask the Divine Lord to bless you with eternal life.”

”The opportunity is only once.”

”There can be only one servant of the Divine Lord.”

”Whoever slays Mr. Tu will be that sole servant, alone enjoying the Divine Lord’s blessings and worshipped by thousands of believers.”

The Featherization Old Demons from Yin Corpse Valley and Demon Sword Sect frowned, also reluctant to act rashly.

They were all old schemers, having lived for so long; how could Mo Hua’s few words easily provoke them?

Mo Hua sneered, continuing to apply pressure:

”Don’t blame me for not reminding you; the great luck bestowed by the Divine Lord is but once.”

”If you obey my command to ’purge the King’s side and slay treacheries’, regardless of whether you succeed in killing Mr. Tu or not, I will not blame you.”

”But if you remain inactive and just observe, don’t fault me later for bearing grudges...”

Mo Hua sneered viciously, his words icy and venomous:

”Soon, once the Divine Lord merges completely with the Divine Fetus and his will awakens, I will report to the Divine Lord that your loyalty is insufficient, your faith unsteady, your disobedience to his commands, and even colluding with Mr. Tu for selfish gain, betraying the Divine Lord.”

”By then, even if you are Feather Transformation, the Divine Lord will strip your Primordial Spirit, inflict severe punishment, and be devoured by the countless evil spirits in the three thousand Black Mountains, your Primordial Spirit shattered, dying a vile death...”

Mo Hua, with his right hand clutching Yu Er’s neck, embodied the menacing image of a treacherous villain using the emperor to intimidate the nobles.

The Featherization Old Demons of Yin Corpse Valley and Demon Sword Sect were vexed yet also slightly intimidated.

The Great Wilderness Evil God, notorious and fearsome.

And when the Evil God descended, that terrifying aura was palpably sensed by these Feather Transformations.

To accompany a ruler is like accompanying a tiger.

More so with a deity.

Moreover, the Divine Lord they revered was an Evil God, notorious for his brutal bloodlust.

Once there was a despicable ”villain” highly trusted at the Divine Lord’s side, these Feather Transformations might not fare well.

Of course, it might also be that Mo Hua was deceiving them.

Yet this lad, able to ”hold hostage” the Divine Lord, was quite formidable and not to be underestimated.

The Featherization Old Demons of Demon Sword Sect and Yin Corpse Valley, after brief contemplation, a glint flashed in their eyes, harboring an unknown intent, and then one broke open the coffin, summoning a Golden Corpse, another lifted the seal of the Sword Box, summoning the Demon sword, and together they attacked Mr. Tu.

Mr. Tu’s eyes were red, cursing in his heart.

In the grand hall, the three Feather Transformations clashed bitterly, their methods sinister, vicious and venomous, Corpse Qi, Sword Qi, and Blood Qi intertwined in carnage.

After a moment of killing, the battle was intense, the situation tense.

Seeing this, Mo Hua turned to Shangguan Wang, speaking in a low and eerie tone:

”Elder Shangguan... escort me and the Divine Lord out, and I will absolve you of all crimes, appointing you as the Divine Lord’s sole ’servant’, granting you the Divine Lord’s favor, ensuring your longevity, and even if your flesh perishes, your Divine Soul will not die...”
