Chapter 2961: Killing Three Birds With One Stone

The Chiliagonist looked at ‘Ye Bo’. "This Mo Shang that we’re on our way to try to recruit once fought against me and Dao Monarch Lu. I was beaten to the point where I couldn’t even fight back, but Dao Monarch Lu managed to grab Heaven’s Sight and then escape with it. How do you think he managed to do that?

"Someone like that is too lucky, and you and I could never deal with him. If you ever see him, just run the other way."

Lu Yin returned to the Meter Universe.

Once again, they were searching the universe for someone, though this time, they were looking for Old Mo.

While the Aeternals were able to confirm that Old Mo was in the Meter Universe, they could not determine his exact location. Such an ability would be too miraculous.

The Chiliagonist split his consciousness into thousands of different bits and made countless people throughout the Meter Universe spread out and shout, "Senior Mo Shang, can you come out and talk?"

"Senior Mo Shang, can you come out and talk?"

"Senior Mo Shang, can you come out and talk?"

...

In a corner of the universe, Old Mo heard the shouts and frowned. What did the Aeternals want this time?

He noticed the Chiliagonist, who was an old acquaintance. That man had been Old Mo’s first opponent after waking up. As for the other person with the Chiliagonist, Old Mo had a deep impression of the man, as he had prevented Old Mo from capturing Qing Ping.

The man wanted to attack, but the Aeternals were asking to talk. They might not be targeting him.UppTodated from nô/v/e/lb(i)n.c(o)/m

After considering the matter, Old Mo decided to meet the two and see what they wanted. However, he would not meet them in the Meter Universe.

A short while later, someone delivered a message to the Chiliagonist. "I will see you in the Orchid Forest Universe."

The Chiliagonist sent a message to ‘Ye Bo,’ and the two moved out for the Orchid Forest Universe.

They had to cross several parallel universes to reach their destination from the Meter Universe. Old Mo was very cautious, and he believed that the Orchid Forest Universe would be the safest place for a meeting.

The three men soon met in the Orchid Forest Universe.

Old Mo was clearly unfriendly with the Chiliagonist, but he quickly turned to Lu Yin. "What does Aeternus want with me?"

The Chiliagonist got straight to the point. "We want you to join us, Senior."

Old Mo sneered. "I’m a human, so how can I join Aeternus? Do you want me to become a corpse king?"

The Chiliagonist smiled. "Not all Aeternals are corpse kings. Given your strength, Senior, there would be no problem with you remaining human. Of the Seven Skygods, Shaman God has died, which means that there is a vacant position. Given your strength, you clearly have a good chance of taking that position. If you do, you will stand below one person while lording over countless within Aeternus.

"According to the ancient Heavens Sect era, you will be equal to one of the Three Realms and Six Daos."

There was no denying that the Chiliagonist was quite convincing. Old Mo was indeed swayed by the suggestion, as he had always dreamed of reaching the same heights as Wu Tian.

"The Aeternals are certainly sincere, sending you two over to convince me to join after you’ve both attacked me." Old Mo sneered.

Lu Yin indifferently replied, "We were not targeting you. We just had conflicting interests."

The Chiliagonist looked at Old Mo. "Senior, you don’t actually have that many options before you right now. In the current situation, it’s impossible for you to join the Sixverse Association as there is an irreconcilable enmity between you and Lu Yin. When we attacked the Heavens Sect, you did the same, going after Lu Buzheng, who is another member of the Lu family.

"You can't join the Sixverse Association, which means that Aeternus is your only other option."

‘Ye Bo’s’ expression was cold, but his eyes blazed with confidence. "Qing Ping should have fled back to the Origin Universe. There, he believes himself to be safe. We can go to the Origin Universe and capture him. Didn’t you want to capture Qing Ping? Since we ruined your plans, we’ll compensate you for that. This should be enough to do that.”

The Chiliagonist did not understand their previous mission to capture Qing Ping alive, but he felt that Ye Bo was being quite reasonable. Still, the Chiliagonist did not want to go to the Origin Universe.

"Are you willing to go to the Origin Universe to help me capture Qing Ping?" Old Mo asked suspiciously.

Lu Yin stared at Old Mo. "It won’t be just us, as you’ll be there as well. Just us alone might not be able to capture Qing Ping. I don't know what that man means to you, but he is very important to Dao Monarch Lu. It’s said that Qing Ping is the Dao Monarch’s senior disciple brother."

Old Mo's eyes lit up. If not for that, he would have no reason to target Qing Ping.

The old man had no idea that the Aeternals had also been going after Qing Ping earlier. Rather than help Old Mo capture Qing Ping, it would be better to say that this plan was Old Mo helping Aeternus. Having another powerhouse assist in capturing Qing Ping would change everything, and Progenitor Xi should now agree to allow the mission to proceed. At the same time, Old Mo would see this as a sign of the Aeternals’ sincerity.

However, everything was within Lu Yin's plan. For Lu Yin, he seemed to be helping the Aeternals deceive Old Mo into helping them complete the mission of capturing Qing Ping while also helping Aeternus show their sincerity to Old Mo in an attempt to recruit him. However, it was not as simple as completing two missions at once. Lu Yin’s real purpose was to demonstrate Ye Bo’s loyalty to Aeternus while eliminating another one or two of the True God Guard Captains. If this could result in Old Mo’s death, it would be even better.

For Lu Yin, this was a chance to kill three birds with one stone.

The Chiliagonist was kept completely kept in the dark, but Progenitor Xi would be able to see everything quite clearly. She praised Ye Bo for being so clever in convincing Old Mo to cooperate with Aeternus to capture Qing Ping while simultaneously winning a sequence powerhouse to their cause. Regardless of whether the mission was successful or not, Progenitor Xi had seen Ye Bo’s loyalty and dedication. She quickly agreed to allow Ye Bo, the Chiliagonist, and Old Mo to go to the Origin Universe to capture Qing Ping.

While Old Mo feared the Origin Universe, he was not afraid to go to that universe. He knew that Progenitor Lu Yuan was in seclusion, and Old Mo was confident that no one else could stop him.

Since the Aeternals were willing to help Old Mo, he felt that he might as well take action.

However, he refused to move together with Ye Bo and the Chiliagonist. Before agreeing to join Aeternus, Old Mo did not want to risk being branded as a traitor to humanity.

Before they left, Progenitor Xi gave Ye Bo some information to contact several of Aeternus’s spies in the Origin Universe. These spies had access to coordinate seals, which meant that they could access parallel universes that connected directly to the Scourge.

Lu Yin felt as though he had just been given a treasure. This was invaluable information.

Yu Huo had allowed the Heavens Sect to capture an old man who had access to the White Bamboo Universe, and Lu Yin had likely just received the information for several other similar spies. With a few more, the Heavens Sect would be able to attack the Scourge directly through these various parallel universes.

In the Origin Universe’s Neoverse, in a place where yellow sand filled the sky, a massive cniu swung its tail, occasionally slamming it on the ground. It was intimidating nearby creatures while also preventing any sneak attacks.

The cniu might be massive, but it was only capable of defending, not attacking. Its most common means of protecting itself was pure intimidation.

On the cniu’s back, Lu Yin was sitting cross-legged, calmly staring off into the distance. Close to him was the Chiliagonist.

"We’ve found another hidden world in a cliff by this yellow sand. It’s not bad. They practice battle techniques related to this yellow sand," the Chiliagonist said while looking in a particular direction.

Lu Yin said nothing. As they traveled, the Chiliagonist had been very interested in finding hidden worlds. Fortunately, he had never attacked any of them, or else Lu Yin would have killed the man before they ever reached the Hall of Honor.

"The Origin Universe is truly the most brilliant human universe. Not to mention the ancient Heavens Sect era, or the current Heavens Sect, just recently, this universe did not even have a single Progenitor. Even so, they had so many people that they needed to hide some of their population in these hidden worlds. Those places have developed multiple different civilizations, and some of them are likely not bad at all. Do you think that Lu Yin and the Heavens Sect have a complete census of all the hidden worlds in this universe?" the Chiliagonist asked.

OMA's Thoughts

Sorry for the late chapter. Unexpectedly lost all sort of internet or connection for several hours and it really messed things up.
