Wei Rong took a deep breath before offering a deep bow. "Gu Wei is not this son-in-law's real name. This son-in-law's true name is Wei Rong."

Wang Gui was caught off guard, and he turned around to look at Wei Rong. "What are you saying? Why have you hidden your real name? Do you have enemies?"

It did not really matter to the man. After all, aside from the other members of the four ruling powers, all others were nothing but ants. Even if Wang Gui was merely the patriarch of a branch family, he was still a member of the Wang family.

Wei Rong spoke solemnly, as though firming his resolve to follow through on a difficult decision. "It was to conceal that I had joined the Wang family."

lightsΝοvεl ƈοm Wang Gui continued to stare at Wei Rong sternly, and Wei Rong revealed his identity, shocking Wang Gui.

The man stared at Wei Rong in utter disbelief. "You are one of Lu Yin's people? Then with what intentions did you join my Wang family? Does Manman know? Come here!"

A group of cultivators arrived almost instantly, keeping wary eyes trained on Wei Rong.

Wei Rong shrugged. "Father-in-law, this son-in-law has confessed to you to show that I no longer want anything to do with Lu Yin. Not only that, but this son-in-law is also willing to share everything I know about Lu Yin and help you, my father-in-law, get closer to the familys main branch, and even gain the ability to speak for the Wang family.

Wang Gui grew furious. "Ridiculous! You are a traitor who joined my family under false pretenses. How could you possibly help me gain the right to speak for the Wang family, or even get closer to the main line? As long as the main line is not destroyed, I will remain as I am."

"Father-in-law!" Wei Rong shouted as he stared at Wang Gui. "I can help you reach the heights that you desire. I know too much about Lu Yin. Take this son-in-law to see the clan patriarch, and I promise that you will be happy with the results.

Wang Gui's eyes flickered. He wanted to immediately eliminate Wei Rong and sweep the entire matter under the rug. It would prevent the main branch of the Wang family from learning that Wang Gui had welcomed one of Lu Yin's people into the family. However, he continued to stare at Wei Rong for a moment. "What do you intend to do?

As Wei Rong spoke, Wang Gui's expression gradually changed, and he even grew excited. Anticipation mounted deep in his eyes. "Really?"

Wei Rong nodded. "It's absolutely true."

Soon, Wang Gui took Wei Rong to speak with Wang Zheng.

Deep below Aeternus Nation, a golden light enveloped Monarch Mu, and her eyes opened. "I do."

As soon as she spoke, the shadow that she cast from the golden light of the Investiture of the Gods moved away from her and slowly approached the scroll.

The Monarch watched, curious. She had never dreamed that such an innate gift could exist. Given this young mans innate gift, it was difficult for her to fathom just what heights he would eventually reach.

This was also a big reason as to why she had agreed to be conferred as one of his gods; she desired to follow the strong.

The shadow merged into the golden scroll, and Lu Yins eyes narrowed as he waited to see the outcome.

Once the shadow completely merged with the Investiture of the Gods and a third image appeared, the process would be successfully completed.

Monarch Mu was the third peak powerhouse to become one of Lu Yins summons for his Investiture of the Gods.

After capturing the woman, Lu Yin had done his best to sway her with both intimidation and various other tricks, and finally, he had succeeded.

He let out a long breath.

Monarch Mu was also feeling quite relieved. She had spent an entire day adjusting her mentality and had decided to genuinely betray Monarch Luo. It was the only way she could succeed in the process.

The human heart was always unpredictable, and it was impossible for a person to even control their own.

Even Monarch Mu, a peak powerhouse equal to a Progenitor, had to spend a day adjusting her mind as she analyzed the pros and cons.

As the golden light disappeared, Lu Yin put away the Investiture of the Gods. "It worked. Congratulations, Monarch Mu. From now on, you are part of the Heavens Sect."

Monarch Mu's face revealed joy. "Thank you very much."

"Now, tell me what kind of person Luo Shan is," Lu Yin ordered.Monarch Mu thought for a bit and grew somber. "Luo Shan hides himself very deeply"

***

On Shenwu Continent, the Sealing Path sourcebox array slowly spun, keeping the passage to the Three Monarchs Universe sealed, just like always.

The people who lived on Shenwu Continent had already become accustomed to the sourcebox arrays presence.

However, one day, space twisted and warped as an earth-shattering power descended. As people watched in disbelief, the massive sourceboxes that made up the Sealing Path were pushed away, scattering in all directions as the sourcebox array was destroyed by a massive blade formed from death energy.

"Wang Fan!" A deafening shout echoed from Mu Xie. He was not on Shenwu Continent at the moment and thus had been unable to instantly stop the attack.

Specter Progenitor laughed. "So, Mu Xie, are you really not on Shenwu Continent right now? This passage should be opened today!"

Mu Xie roared, "Do you four ruling powers want to start a war?"

"Then let's fight. Let's see how long your false Heavens Sect can endure!" Specter Progenitor just laughed. He was nothing more than Wang Fan's clone, but no one had expected him to suddenly attack Shenwu Continent at this time.

Mu Xie had been responsible for Shenwu Continent for some time, but he had not been staying on the continent at all times, especially when Lu Yin was present in the Fifth Mainland.

This was also the day that Lu Yin had returned.

However, this was also the day that Specter Progenitor had attacked. It was clear that things had been carefully planned and orchestrated.

"Mu Xie, it's time for you to step back." Bai Wangyuan emerged from the void and stared in Mu Xies direction.

Lu Yin appeared behind Mu Xie, an ugly expression on his face. "Bai Wangyuan, Wang Fan, why are you attacking us now?"

Specter Progenitor shook his head. "Lu Xiaoxuan, no plan is ever perfect. I will make you watch as this passage is opened today."

His palm fell.

Lu Yin quickly moved to block the attack. "Stop!"

Mu Xies arra shot forward as well.lightsnovel

Bai Wangyuan's expression grew solemn. "I have never truly faced you, but today, I will allow you to see the true power of one of the masters of the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas!"

Both of the mans hands moved forward to strike the void. "Void Rip."

Two points in the void were connected by a single line, and the void was torn open. Void Rip was one of the Celestial Frost Sects battle techniques, and Lu Yin had even learned it himself and faced it many times before. However, when Bai Wangyuan used the technique, Void Rip revealed a power beyond anything Lu Yin had ever seen. It was startlingly powerful.

A black line sliced through the void, shooting towards Lu Yin and Mu Xie. Its passage left everything behind it shrouded in darkness.

Mu Xie's expression changed, and he moved to defend the spatial passage. His arra crashed into the dark line of the Void Rip, only to be sliced in two.

Bai Wangyuan had always been powerful, and he was clearly stronger than Xia Shenji, but even so, the power that he had revealed in the past had been within certain limits, which was why Mu Xie had been so confident that he could block the Void Rip.

However, Bai Wangyuan had just revealed a level of power that he had never exposed before. His Void Rip was so powerful that Lu Yins scalp went numb. The black line almost seemed to be paving a road of the Hollow through space, and if Lu Yin could not stop it, it would continue unhindered until it swallowed the entire Heavens Sect.

In the past, Bai Wangyuan had been afraid of a massive war, and he had also been worried about Lu Yin harming Bai Xian'er through unknown means. After deciding to take action, the man was finally revealing his true power.

Mu Xie also stopped hiding his strength. If one arra was not enough, then he would use two. If two were still not enough, then he would use twenty. Bai Wangyuan had hidden his true strength, but Mu Xie had never fully exposed his own power either.

The jiao roared as Lu Yin pulled out his Champions Stage. E Chi appeared as the Investiture of the Gods unfurled, radiating a golden light across the Fifth Mainland. "Bai Wangyuan, do you really want to start a war?"

"Ridiculous!" Specter Progenitor shouted, and on Shenwu Continent, the Tower of Resonating Light shattered. Grandmaster Gu Yan, who was supposed to be stationed in the tower for the sourcebox array, had already left.

No one had anticipated this moment.

Specter Progenitor quickly pushed aside the Sealing Path, and his hand fell upon the spatial passage. free(w)ebnovel(.)comThe path connecting the Fifth Mainland to the Three Monarchs Universe was opened.

As the seal shattered, powerful suction pulled in from every direction.

A distant sea was sucked up.

Fortunately, the people who were near the Tower of Resonating Light all possessed some level of strength, so the suction was not able to move them.

At the bottom of the tower, outer space could be seen. It was not the Fifth Mainland, but the Three Monarchs Universe.

There was an ugly expression on Lu Yin's face at this moment. "It's over."

Bai Wangyuan and Specter Progenitor looked thrilled. The passage had been opened, connecting the Three Monarchs Universe to the Fifth Mainland. Their agreement with Monarch Luo was thus official. They would join forces to eliminate the Heavens Sect and then divide the Fifth Mainland between them. That brat of the Lu family would unquestionably die.

More and more Progenitors began to arrive, including Wang Fan's true body, Xia Qin, Nong Yi, Progenitor Smoke, and more.

Everyone gathered before the spatial passage. War was about to erupt.

On the other side of the passage, in the Three Monarchs Universe, water had appeared in outer space. The cultivators standing guard at the spatial passage dispersed the seawater that had flowed through, and they stared through the passage, dumbfounded and confused as they saw the Progenitors from another universe. Surges of unimaginable power rippled through the passage, leaving the Three Monarchs Universes guards all a bit sluggish.

Cang Bi was among the guards at this moment. Their universe had long dreamed of opening this passage, but every attempt that they had ever made had failed. At this moment, the passage had suddenly opened, and the shocking turn of events caused the Demi-Monarch to turn pale.

After all, at this time, they did not want the passage open.

How could it have been opened at this time? Monarch Luo had given repeated warnings to protect the passage, so what had happened?

Silence filled the area as both sides of the passage stared at each other.

Specter Progenitor peered through the passage. "What are the three Monarchs waiting for? Where is Sage Yuan?"

The four ruling powers had already come to an agreement with Sage Yuan and the Three Monarchs Universe, and they had opened the spatial passage. Not only were the Three Monarchs supposed to attack the Heavens Sect, but Sage Yuan was also supposed to take action. This was to punish Lu Yin, as the four ruling powers were desperate to deal with the young man.

The jiaos massive eyes stared, but it remained silent.

In the Three Monarchs Universe, Monarch Luo quickly appeared, and he stared blankly at the open passage, stunned by the sight.

Xia Shenji also appeared, though he was excited. "Monarch Luo, the passage is open! it's time to attack the Origin Universe!"

Arch-Elder Zen raced over from where he had been protecting the rainbow wall.

This meant that only Monarch Xing was at the rainbow wall right now, protecting the Three Monarchs Universe. Fortunately, the Aeternals were not attacking at this moment, and there were no Progenitor-level corpse kings present either. However, the rainbow wall could not be left unprotected for too long. The Aeternals were all too aware of what was happening in the human universes, and as soon as they learned that the peak powerhouses had left, they would undoubtedly launch an attack.

Monarch Luo was still staring at the open passage, and he saw Bai Wangyuan, Specter Progenitor, Wang Fan, and the other Progenitors in the parallel universe. He also saw Mu Xie, Lu Yin, and the enormous jiao. Under normal circumstances, he should take action. Chen Le could protect the rainbow wall for Monarch Luo, and the four ruling powers had agreed to send Bai Sheng to also protect the rainbow wall, while the Cyclic Universes Sage Yuan was supposed to appear and join the attack on the Heavens Sect.

This was the plan that had been agreed upon.

However, this plan had suddenly changed some time ago. Sovereign Shao Yin had forced Monarch Luo to agree to merge the Origin Universe into the Endless Frontier. Of course, the Monarch had wanted to refuse, but Sovereign Shao Yin's threats and coercion had left Luo Shan with no choice but to agree.

The Origin Universe would become a part of the Endless Frontier, so how could they allow the passage connecting it to the Three Monarchs Universe to remain open? That passage absolutely had to be permanently closed, as the moment it opened, the Three Monarchs Universe would also essentially become part of the Endless Frontier.

However, no one had mentioned this change in plans to the Perennial Worlds four ruling powers, because their Perennial World was also part of the Origin Universe. Therefore, they would also be annexed to the Endless Frontier.

The moment that Luo Shan had agreed to support Sovereign Shao Yins proposal, he had betrayed the four ruling powers.

Never in Luo Shans life could he have anticipated that the four ruling powers would suddenly open the spatial passage, and this sudden development confused the Monarch. How had this happened?

He had failed to open the passage despite his many, many efforts over the years, and yet it had just been opened without any warning at all.

Things would have been so much easier if the passage had simply been opened a bit earlier.
