Chapter 1329: Chapter 474: Two Sides of the Same Coin
Fei Chang secretly curled his lips, thinking that the so-called adaptability was clearly a helpless act after a failed plan.
But in Haotian God’s words, it became that all successful people would always adapt to circumstances.
Seeing Chi Mingtian’s face full of admiration, Fei Chang almost wanted to throw up.
The next moment, when Haotian God’s gaze swept over, Fei Chang also showed the same look of admiration, flattering to the extreme.
Only then was Haotian God satisfied, feeling a lot more comfortable internally.
A message was sent to the Heavenly Court.
“Zibaiqing is a Creation Realm being.”
As the message spread, it immediately shocked everyone.
Great Emperor Ziwei, with a solemn expression, asked, “Is the news true?”
“Your Majesty, the news comes from the rebellious Haotian, it seems Zibaiqing and Haotian fell out, then when Haotian wanted to act, Zibaiqing revealed his true power and left,” said Sharp-Hearing Ear.
Great Emperor Ziwei swept his gaze across the immortals and asked, “What do you all think?”
The immortals exchanged glances, and Gold Star Taibai stepped forward. He smiled and said, “Your Majesty, I actually think this is not a bad thing.”
“Why?” asked Great Emperor Ziwei.
“Although Zibaiqing is of the Creation Realm, he’s already on bad terms with Haotian. They are mutually restraining each other, they’re cautious of each other, which lessens the threat to us,” Gold Star Taibai said with a smile, his eyes gleamed as he continued, “Besides, Haotian tossing out this news is nothing but an act of desperation, he doesn’t want the Heavenly Court’s attention focused on him, he’s afraid.”
The crowd was somewhat incredulous; they were startled by Gold Star Taibai’s words.
Haotian God afraid? That arrogant Ancient Heavenly Emperor, who ended the Primordial Era, further ascended to the Creation Realm—such a person would be afraid?
“Now with three sides in confrontation, we can’t put too much pressure on them. Otherwise, if those two get desperate and bring the Holy Clan into the Three Realms regardless, that would be the real catastrophe,” continued Gold Star Taibai.
“Then let’s maintain the status quo, continue to gather strength, and finally take them down in one fell swoop,” decided Great Emperor Ziwei.
“Your Majesty is wise,” Gold Star Taibai said with a smile.
Great Emperor Ziwei gave Gold Star Taibai an appreciative glance, confirming his reputation as the chief civil official of the Heavenly Court was well-deserved.
Originally, when the news that Zibaiqing was a Creation Realm powerhouse spread, it would undoubtedly make some immortals in the Heavenly Court uneasy.
However, with Gold Star Taibai’s words, this instead turned into a good thing.
Everyone was overjoyed and unconcerned, which made Great Emperor Ziwei somewhat bemused.
Gold Star Taibai’s words contained some truth, but also served to comfort everyone.
Zibaiqing and Haotian God temporarily fell out, but no one could guarantee they wouldn’t ally again.
If two Creation Realm beings were to join forces, the Heavenly Court would have no hope.
The immortals dispersed, leaving only a few high-ranking officials of the Heavenly Court.
Great Emperor Ziwei’s face suddenly darkened. He sighed and said, “Zibaiqing is of the Creation Realm; the current situation is extremely unfavorable to our Heavenly Court. What do you think?”
The others exchanged glances, and finally Gold Star Taibai spoke, “Unless the Three Pure Ones step in, we cannot stop two Creation Realm beings if they decide to act.”
“Yes, even if we include Ancestral Dragon, with Wukong and Yang Jian as Heavenly Emperor-level combatants, we still can’t stop them. Without a true Creation Realm expert stationed, we are at an innate disadvantage,” said Great Emperor Ziwei.
That’s the Creation Realm, it’s not as simple as one plus one equals two.
Two Creation Realm beings joining forces can accomplish numerous things.
They can contend with one Creation Realm, but even if they double in number, it doesn’t mean they can defeat two Creation Realms.
This is the reason why the Three Pure Ones have reigned over the Three Realms for so long; a team-up of three Creation Realm beings is nearly unsolvable.
Unless there are equally strong experts, no one else can easily match them.
Where the Three Pure Ones were, at this moment, they were also taken aback.
Zibaiqing was unexpectedly a Creation Realm, which caught them by surprise.
This means that besides them, the Supreme Ancestral Demon, and Nuwa, there are two Creation Realm powerhouses in the entire Three Realms.
Adding the Demon King, there are three in total.
Even if they join forces, it’s not an easy task to suppress three Creation Realm beings with ease.
“If I remember correctly, there’s a monster deep within the Demon Realm whose strength is no less than the Creation Realm, and even the Demon King suffered greatly at his hands,” said Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate.
“Lord Taishang, you’ve messed up,” a fourth person appeared, who was the Supreme Ancestral Demon.
Seeing his gloating look, Lord Taishang said indifferently, “I messed up, so why are you so happy? Is there any benefit to you?”
“None, just feel like laughing. Now, are you still going to proceed with the gu-raising plan? Don’t cause the death of everyone by the end, then you’ll regret it too late,” said the Supreme Ancestral Demon with an uncontrollable smile.
Lord Taishang’s face darkened slightly, he knew this time he truly miscalculated.
He never expected that Zibaiqing was also of the Creation Realm.
The other side had been hiding their strength all along, even deceiving them.
“Nuwa has sent word back, if anything were to happen to Sun Wukong and the Heavenly Court, she wouldn’t spare us. She holds very high hopes for the living beings in this world, believing they might reverse Heaven and Earth, to resist the Holy Clan. What is needed now is time, not some stupid trial,” said Lingbao Dao Venerate oddly.
Goddess Nuwa, the Holy Mother of the Human Race, generally appears as a compassionate and gentle figure.
But only these true powerhouses know that to become the first Creation Realm being after the Creation of Heaven and Earth, she naturally lacks no decisive means.
In fact, during the Primordial Era, she fought her way up, rising among her peers, ultimately stepping powerfully into the Creation Realm.
Such a woman made even The Three Pure Ones bow in admiration, respectful to the extreme.
“I have been too impatient,” Lord Taishang said.
He was reflecting, indeed too extreme.
“With a personality like yours, when will you change, already so old, yet still like a reckless youngster,” the Supreme Ancestral Demon said disdainfully.
Lord Taishang looked at him and said indifferently, “Talking about me, isn’t that also talking about yourself, we are two sides of the same coin. When you merge with me, we might be able to surpass the Creation Realm.”
If outsiders were here and heard Lord Taishang’s words, they’d surely be shocked.
The renowned Creation Realm powerhouse, the Supreme Ancestral Demon, was actually another side of Lord Taishang; they were essentially the same person.
The Supreme Ancestral Demon showed full disdain, sneering, “Surpass the Creation Realm? That stone monkey tried it years ago, and what happened? Almost self-destructed, if not for this, how could the Holy Clan dare to attack?”
