Back to Chaos.
Destroyer of the World looked up at the star disk above his head and started deducing.
After half a day, Destroyer of the World got up cursing. He didn't deduce anything.
"Sir, could this variable be appearing in someone else?"
At this time, the man with the silver fanged mask knelt on the ground and said cautiously.
"What do you mean by that?"
Destroyer of the World asked in a deep voice.
"What I mean is, could it be that someone else knows about Your Excellency's plan and is sabotaging it from within?" The masked man said meaningfully.
"Someone else?"
Destroyer of the World's pupils shrank as he asked in a deep voice, "Who for example?"
"Does Your Excellency still remember that some time ago in the North Sea, a man appeared who, with the power of a mortal, killed seven of our puppets, and then used mysterious powers to destroy Baiyang Palace in the virtual realm with just a wooden carving?"
"And in the Central Continent, the man in the black robe who subdued the Four Great Wild Beasts alone and exchanged a palm with Your Excellency?" The masked man speculated.
"Impossible."
As soon as the masked man's voice fell, Destroyer of the World immediately rebutted.
"While the abilities of these two are remarkable, and they even injured me at that time when I was still weak, so their true strength is only average."
"Let's take a step back. Those two don't even have the qualifications to come here and enter the pillar of light. How could they have the ability to influence the big picture?"
"Frankly speaking, they don't even qualify to enter my eyes."
Upon hearing this, the masked man also shut his mouth.
Long before, several epochs ago, Destroyer of the World had deduced that the Immortal River Continent would usher in an unprecedented peak in this epoch.
A total of 234 people with the aptitude to become gods would appear in this era.
This number was preordained.
There would be no more and no less.
And neither of these two were even on the list of those 234 people. So they weren't even blessed by the heavens.
Not even blessed by the heavens, how could they influence the big picture?
Unless.
They were already gods.
But was that possible......
"Then, Your Excellency, why are there so few people who have come so far?" The masked man asked.
"There is no problem with the astrological calculations, and I have not noticed any hidden dangers. The only possibility is that the time has not yet come," Destroyer of the World said, his eyes narrowing.
"The time has not yet come?"
The masked man's pupils shrank as he respectfully asked, "What does Your Excellency mean?"
"Except for a few of the blessed people who have already come, most of them have awakened in the last two years. And there is still a year before the opening of the Immortal River Chaos Monument," Destroyer of the World explained.
"So those who haven't come should not have awakened yet."
Upon hearing this, the masked man nodded in sudden realization.
Indeed.
The hundred plus people who had come were all those who had awakened in the last two years, and it was reasonable that those who had not come had not yet awakened.
After all, before awakening, their identities were just ordinary people, and some didn't even know their own backgrounds.
So naturally they wouldn't come here before awakening.
"So let's just wait and see!" Destroyer of the World's mind calmed down as he said lightly, "Maybe the number of people in the pillar of light will change every few days. In a year, just enough to gather 234 people."
"In that case, it seems our previous worries were unnecessary," the masked man said.
"I was indeed overthinking just now," Destroyer of the World nodded and said decisively, "Let's be patient. When the time comes, so shall the opportunity."
In the red divine pillar, Yun Yaoyao sat cross-legged.
Next to her sat a woman in white. She stroked a long zither, her white clothes as pure as snow, with an ethereal aura.
Even Yun Yaoyao had to admit that the woman before her was very beautiful.
Sensing Yun Yaoyao's gaze, the woman in white turned her head and smiled gently.
"Bai Piaopiao."
Yun Yaoyao also smiled and nodded, saying softly, "Yun Yaoyao."
The two nodded at each other.
Everyone knew that being able to come here meant they were outstanding, and some might even become friends and companions in the future.
After greeting each other, Yun Yaoyao cast her eyes aside again.
Among the eighteen red divine pillars, there were seven people.
Apart from her and Bai Piaopiao, there were five others.
The five seemed to be together. Yun Yaoyao didn't know which clan they were from, but their skin was dark, their bodies sturdy, dressed in black clothes and round black hats.
Through brief exchanges, Yun Yaoyao learned of their names.
The five were brothers, named Zang Yi, Zang Er, Zang San, Zang Si and Zang Wu.
They came from the Heifei Tribe of the virtual realm, and the five brothers had always worked closely together with coffins as their weapons.
But now, the five seemed to be arguing.
In the midst of arguing, the five brothers tore apart space and left the chaos, returning to their Heifei Tribe from whence they came.
After all, coming and going freely in the chaos here was easy. And they had already been recognized by the red divine pillar, so there was no fear of anyone else seizing it either.
"Fifth brother, the Immortal River Chaos Monument will open in a year. What exactly are you trying to do?"
Zang Yi's face was gloomy as he looked at Zang Wu and asked in a deep voice.
"That's right, fifth brother. It's just a damn flyer, so what if you've found it? We now occupy the red divine pillar and ascension to godhood is just around the corner."
The other brothers were also irritated and advised him unanimously.
Some time ago, the five inexplicably received five flyers.
They didn't know where these flyers came from at all, but the five of them had become obsessed with them, insisting on going to see the Heaven and Earth Sect. No amount of persuasion worked.
"Elder brothers, what are you talking about? We all got flyers, don't you think there is something extraordinary about them?"
"They vaguely contain tremendous power beyond this world. And we don't even know what material they are made of. Do you think this Heaven and Earth Sect is just an ordinary place?" Zang Wu retorted.
"Indeed, the flyers are extraordinary. If it were before, we would have gone there with you. But now the Immortal River Chaos Monument is about to open. Do you need to go there again when comprehending the monument would be so much better than joining some holy land?" Zang Yi said with a grave expression.
"Yes, fifth brother. Destroyer of the World received us in person not long ago. He said we have great identities. As long as we comprehend the chaos monument well, we will definitely ascend to godhood. This is such a good opportunity for fame and gain. Why give it up?" Zang Er also tried to persuade him.
"Humph. I think that guy is not a good person to begin with. Destroyer of the World? What good person would be named that?" Zang Wu said, unconvinced.
"It's just a name. Destroyer of the World has worked hard for the Immortal River Continent. How can you say that about him?" Zang Yi's face was full of blame.
"I don't care. Anyway, some power in the dark is urging me to go to the Heaven and Earth Sect, so I will go there no matter what." Zang Wu said solemnly, "Elder brothers, let me advise you as well. This Immortal River Chaos Monument is not meant for us. And that Destroyer of the World does not seem like a good person either. You'd better come with me to the Heaven and Earth Sect."
"You..." Zang Yi was furious and asked sternly, "Fifth brother, do you want our five sworn brothers to separate like this?"
"Yes, I must go to the Heaven and Earth Sect. I hope my four elder brothers can go there with me," Zang Wu said resolutely.
"Fine, since you disregard our brotherly bonds and insist on going, then go. But instead of comprehending the Immortal River Chaos Monument, you want to chase some pie in the sky and want us to go with you. That is never going to happen," Zang Yi said angrily.
With that, he waved his palm and his flyer to the Heaven and Earth Sect appeared in his hand. Then he flung it into the endless abyss beneath them.
This was a forbidden land of the Heifei. The lava boiled furiously and instantly swallowed the flyer, sealing it tightly within.
"Not possible in this lifetime!"
He added word by word.
Zang Yi's actions of sealing the transmission talisman also represented his determination at this moment.
