"Impossible!"
Qiong seed to be startled by his idea and quickly explained,
"The Destruction Will isn’t foolish, it won’t let you destroy the Council."
Wu Xiaode asked with disappointnt,
"Those old guys are useless—killing them off and replacing them also won’t do?"
"No! The Destruction Will would never give you the power to use for that," Qiong shook his head repeatedly.
Wu Xiaode sighed and lay back down.
Then forget about it.
Let the Destruction Council go fight Siang.
No matter who gets hurt or destroyed, he would welco it either way.
Suddenly.
A ssage appeared on the screen once more:
"The Council Elders have initiated a request, which has been approved by the Book of the Destruction Laws, specially issuing the following exclusive mission:"
"Face Siang in battle."
"Mission description: Live or die, it doesn’t matter, you must fight, battle Siang."
"Mission objective: Defeating it or driving it away, even that will be considered completion of the mission, failing the mission will result in your eradication!"
"Mission reward: You may acquire a world of your choosing."
"Designated executor: Arian."
"Teleportation in 5 minutes!"
Wu Xiaode quickly read through all the text.
"It can be done like this?" He turned and asked Qiong.
Qiong’s face was ashen, and he replied with a bitter smile, "The Elders have the authority to issue compulsory missions, and the Book of the Destruction Laws also considers how to defeat the enemy, so they chose you."
"Shaless."
Wu Xiaode said and imdiately fell into contemplation.
The Elders themselves wouldn’t make a move but were set on consuming his Na Skill.
What should he do?
Qiong quickly said,
"Siang has seen you, if you show up, it will kill you—how exactly are you planning to fight this battle?"
Wu Xiaode paused for a mont.
Right.
It recognizes as I am now.
So then—
"Qiong, take care of our family clan, I am going to et Siang with another identity."
"A different identity?"
"Yes, you’ve forgotten, Wu Xiaode died at my hand, I’ve impersonated him."
"...Will that work?"
"Yes."
Wu Xiaode stood up, grabbed a bracelet with his hand, and in a flash, vanished from the current world.
Qiong stood alone on the beach, looking at the vast blue sea.
—He had said he was responsible for fighting.
Hopefully, he won’t die!
Otherwise, everything here would eventually be swallowed whole by the Council.
Including himself.
Qiong sighed, mustered his strength, and began operating the screen, constructing this entirely new family domain world.
...
Past Epoch.
The human world.
Kunlun · Inner World.
Wu Xiaode put down the teleporting bracelet and headed straight to the Immortal Peach Orchard.
Fairies—
Or rather, tree spirits were all gathered on that enormous peach tree, and the mont he entered the Ning Shen Temple, they erupted in laughter.
"Wu Xiaode, you’ve been deceiving people again," said a fairy with a laugh.
"What deception? How can saving the world be considered deception?" Wu Xiaode responded seriously.
The other fairies burst into laughter again and again, filling the Ning Shen Temple with a jovial atmosphere.
"Alright, I only have three more minutes—hurry and lift this ’Shape and Spirit Chaos’ Demon Art from , I need to face a formidable enemy."
Wu Xiaode said.
"Cancel it imdiately?" asked a fairy.
"Yes, ah, no, better delay it by three and a half minutes."
"That’s not difficult at all!"
The fairies started chanting their spells.
The Book of the Dead opened, revealing a line of ice crystal letters:
"In three and a half minutes, the ’Shape and Spirit Chaos’ on you will gradually disappear."
Wu Xiaode glanced at the text and imdiately waved his hands at the fairies,
"I’ve got to hurry off, we’ll chat later."
Whoosh—
A faint sound.
He teleported away from that place in the Inner World.
...
The main world of the Destruction Council.
Wu Xiaode silently appeared on the plains.
The mbers of the Elders were already waiting for a long ti.
"Arian, don’t resent us, this is for the survival of the entire Council," said an Elder.
Wu Xiaode looked deeply at these people.
He suddenly laughed, shook his head, and said,
"There’s really no dealing with you, a bunch of old guys, all too scared to step forward, so you send a young guy like to die."
"We aren’t too scared to step forward, but we don’t have a powerful title like yours, a title recognized by the Destruction Will," another Elder said solemnly.
"I spent money—how about you compensate for my losses?" Wu Xiaode spread his hands.
No one responded.
The leader of the Elders said, "Stop being petulant, the mission reward is very clear, you will obtain a world of your choosing, witnessed by the Book of the Destruction Laws."
Wu Xiaode said, "Well then, this ti I go, I might have to change my identity."
"Identity?"
"That’s right, I killed soone, and I will take his identity to deal with Siang."
"Why? What kind of trick are you trying to play?"
"Mainly because Siang hates a great deal, if I go to see it directly, I might be killed before I can even make a move," Wu Xiaode frankly said.
The Elders thought about it and decided that all of this was irrelevant.
As long as he could drive Siang away—
Anything was negotiable!
"Go on, Arian, this is your mont of glory in serving the Council," said the leading Elder.
Wu Xiaode snorted softly as his appearance gradually changed.
He reverted to his original appearance.
"Wu Xiaode?"
The Elders were slightly taken aback.
"Yes, I’ve decided to use this image to fight it," said Wu Xiaode.
Performing as himself in public, he could use his original identity openly and aboveboard from now on.
Killing several birds with one stone.
"How did you kill Wu Xiaode?" asked an interested Elder.
But Wu Xiaode was no longer paying attention to them, and turned to look in a certain direction.
—In that direction, an extrely powerful and familiar presence had long appeared.
Siang was over there!
Wu Xiaode’s figure flashed, and he vanished from before the people.
He dashed wildly across the fields.
Everything around him swiftly receded, vanishing behind him.
Minutes later.
Wu Xiaode appeared amid the ruins of a city.
Not far away.
Hundreds of corpses were piled up to form a bed.
Siang sat cross-legged on the bed, focusing intently on the jade slip in his hands.
"Siang?"
Wu Xiaode called out.
Siang waved his hand impatiently.
A Blood Shadow appeared behind Wu Xiaode, pouncing towards him.
Without turning his head, Wu Xiaode slashed with his sword.
The deep black Death Intense Fla crossed the Blood Shadow, instantly banishing it to the Death World.
Siang paused, lifting his head to look at Wu Xiaode.
Unrecognized!
"That move of yours isn’t bad,"
he said with a grin.
"Those old undying things at the Council want to kill you," Wu Xiaode said.
"Just you?"
Siang set down the jade slip in his hand, beginning to take an interest.
Wu Xiaode sighed, folding his arms and said, "You’ve been with the Shangmo family for eight hundred years, so you must have heard of the ’Hand of World Destruction’."
Siang recalled for a mont before realizing, "That’s a ridiculously expensive thing. No one in their right mind, even if they were crazy about money, would ever sponsor such a title—wait, could it be that you—"
Wu Xiaode willed it, and a line of ice crystal characters appeared in the Void:
"You switched titles."
"Heavenly Ghost is now hidden, current displayed title: Hand of World Destruction."
Boom—
An overwhelming aura of Destruction emanated from Wu Xiaode.
Between heaven and earth, infinite Power converged upon him, as if ready to erase everything at any mont.
Siang slowly stood up, getting into a defensive stance.
"I did not expect... that anyone could afford such an enormous sum... So are you actually here to kill ?"
he asked warily.
Both parties’ auras clashed against each other, slowly solidifying into stillness.
At this mont, if one were to make the first move—
the other would imdiately counterattack!
The situation had escalated into a deadly ga of Life and Death.
"No."
Wu Xiaode suddenly spoke up.
"I’m not here to kill you. I don’t even want to kill you. It’s just because I have such a title that the Elders fear , so they’re forcing to get rid of you."
Siang stared at him, unblinking, and asked:
"Then what do you want?"
Wu Xiaode spoke indignantly:
"Those old bastards want to exhaust my one-ti Destruction Will attack so they won’t have to fear anymore—of course, they also want to get rid of you."
Siang watched him, waiting for the rest of his words.
Wu Xiaode said earnestly:
"My task is to kill you or drive you away. Please help complete this task. That way, you won’t have to face the strike of the Destruction Will, and I’ll save my money, allowing us both a brighter future."
"What if I refuse?" Siang asked.
"Then I’ll have no choice but to spend money to avert disaster, since the penalty for failing this task is eradication, and I don’t want to die," Wu Xiaode said.
Siang’s expression turned reminiscent.
With over eight hundred years of experience, he could fully judge:
The Council Elders would indeed do such a thing.
Right now, the young man in front of him was the scapegoat they had put forward.
Did he really want to fight this guy?
Receiving the strike of the Destruction Will wouldn’t be easy, and he might be finished as well.
However, such a battle would be incredibly thrilling. Should he abandon all concern for life and death and fully enjoy the fight?
After pondering for a few breaths, Siang suddenly said:
"...Actually, I too am a mber of the Destruction Council. I need to see your task before deciding what to do."
Wu Xiaode looked taken aback.
That’s right!
He is the ultimate being from the Shangmo family.
He is a mber of Destruction!
The Book of the Dead quietly flipped open, revealing a line of icy small characters:
"Siang wants to review your Council task, shall I let it watch?"
"Let it see — but do not show it the na of the person assigned to complete the task," Wu Xiaode said.
"Yes."
The next second.
A screen suddenly appeared in front of Siang, displaying Wu Xiaode’s task.
It read swiftly.
Everything was as the other had said.
To act...
would be to let those old turtles get their way.
Fighting, that could happen anyti.
Once he had gathered a full set of puppet forging materials, then he’d experience that blow from the Destruction Will.
Siang stood up, smiling, and said to Wu Xiaode:
"You’re an honest and useless pawn; even if they can’t use you this ti, they’ll find ways to squeeze out every bit of value from you."
"That’s just the Destruction Council’s way of doing things."
"As for , I’m not interested in these trashy matters, nor do I want those dirty old n to get their way."
Having said that, it nodded at Wu Xiaode, ready to leave imdiately.
Wu Xiaode breathed a sigh of relief.
Siang was one to obsess over things, neurotic and compulsive, and didn’t like being taken advantage of.
As long as it was willing to leave, his task would be complete.
"Thank you."
Wu Xiaode sincerely cupped his fist in gratitude.
Siang couldn’t be bothered to look at him and casually said, "I’m leaving now, I’ll co back after so ti."
Its figure moved to fly into the sky.
The next instant.
Suddenly, a grand, ancient voice echoed from afar:
"Arian of the Shangmo family, why haven’t you started fighting with Siang yet?"
Wu Xiaode’s face changed.
This was voice transmission magic!
—He was clearly about to send Siang on its way, but those old n obviously wanted him dead!
Indeed.
Siang suddenly paused mid-air, turned, and looked back at him.
"You’re Arian?"
Its expression turned fierce and terrifying.
"I am Wu Xiaode," Wu Xiaode said calmly.
"It can’t be... Arian is too cunning, and on such matters, the Council Elders cannot lie..."
Siang landed back on the bed piled with heads, exuding an intense aura of murder.
Wu Xiaode sighed.
He had anticipated everything.
The only thing he had not foreseen was the shalessness of those Council Elders.
If he survived this ti, he would definitely kill them all.
Not one would be spared.
Wu Xiaode placed his hand on his sword, starting to prepare for battle.
Suddenly.
A deep male voice rang in his ear:
"Having watched the show for so long, you finally feel like fighting."
Wu Xiaode was startled.
Who was speaking?
The voice seed sowhat familiar?
The next second.
Several lines of icy small characters quietly erged before his eyes:
"The Human Emperor says he’s back ho."
"Pay imdiate attention!"
"— The ancient Human Emperor is about to descend!"
