The hollow was boundless; the universe was vast!

In the immense Void Universe, except for Heaven Realm World in the Desolate Ancient Star Area, there were also many other macro worlds. During antiquity times, Heaven Realm World ruled the heavens and realms. After that, Heaven Realm World lost its dominance and severed its connection with the Void Immortal Realm. Without its governance, the macro worlds in the Void Universe began to develop by themselves. In about 800,000 years, everything there was very different.

The Holy Alliance’s headquarters, located at the Central Pole Region in the Void Universe, was one of the strongest influences here. The branches of several other influences were also located at the same place.

The Central Pole Region meant that it was really at the center of the Void Universe

However, the hollow and the universe were limitless. How could people know the layout of the Void Universe? How could they decide whether the Central Pole Region was really at the center of the Void Universe?

People had come up with all these questions. However, from antiquity times, no one paid any attention to all the boring questions; they neither confirmed or challenged that. Anyway, everyone believed that the Central Pole Region was at the center of the Void Universe.

The Central Pole Region was a macro world where the Holy Alliance had set up its headquarters. Despite having abundant pneuma, only very few people lived there.

Being the Holy Alliance’s headquarters, the security was very tight. In this big macro world, there were only a few practitioners, let alone ordinary people. Excluding the practitioners, no individual creature existed, neither plants or animals. If there were any, they were the ones fostered by the practitioners here.

In such a giant world, fewer than 1,000 creatures inhabited the place.

It was the Holy Alliance’s headquarters: a big and boring world.

As one of the biggest influences in the Void Universe, its headquarters was not magnificent. Instead, it was housed in an ancient courtyard.

There were several ornamental plants in the courtyard. They were the only plants in the whole macro world.

“This matter shouldn’t go on this way. Ling Ruo, such a big event happened in Eastern Land. We shouldn’t just ignore it. An Earthly Immortal was killed. Every person who was capable of doing it should be on the suspect list. Although Zhou Bao was from Heaven Realm World, we shouldn’t let him off.

“I know that this thing has attracted the attention of all the Earthly Immortals in the Void Universe. A Heavenly Fairy Weapon which can kill an Earthly Immortal makes them very worried. Except for some suspects, Zhou Bao is the only person with the Zhuyan bloodline, and should not be excluded.

“Well, Fourth Brother, what can I do? Should I go to Heaven Realm World and bring him here?

“That’s a good idea. Go there and bring him here. Figure this out carefully. It’ll be good if he’s not the killer. Otherwise, kill him. By the way, if the opportunity rises, capture Heaven Realm World as well. To think that we have to negotiate with such a fallen macro world. That is really so annoying!”

“This guy is from Heaven Realm World, so he can be hard to handle. He’s known to be the strongest person in Heaven Realm World. His strength is at the level of a Human Immortal. Actually, he has the Immortal’s combat capability!”

“So what? Can’t we defeat him? Anyway, he’s just a Human Immortal!”

“Fourth Brother, listen to me. Zhou Bao is not simply anyone. I surveyed his background. His rise astonishes me. He has very strong fate. In only 30 years, he rose in practice from being a naughty boy in the village to the most powerful man in Heaven Realm World!”

“Only 30 years. Bear in mind that we—”

“We were born with Ghost Immortal bodies. Fourth brother, he was just an ordinary person at birth!”

“What does this mean?”

“Our fate was stronger than his when we were born. But now it is weaker than his!” Ling Ruo sighed gently and paced back and forth in the ancient building. “Fourth Brother, we were Ghost Immortals at birth. However, after many years, we’re still at the Immortal phase!”

“But we can defeat the Earthly Immortal!”

“So can he!”

“Oh?” Fourth Brother was slightly taken aback. “You seem to know about it already!”

“You know, when I had him investigated, I discovered an interesting fact. It’s not something outstanding in his experience. Many people didn’t even notice it. I searched the guy’s soul, so I got it from his memory!”

“What?”

Ling Ruo smiled and slowly drew a circle in the air. With his finger movement, a red gourd appeared. “This item. Are you familiar with it?”

“Oh oh oh oh. Yes. No wonder he can kill the Earthly Immortal!”

“That’s not the point. The point is that he’s able to make use of it!”

“We are in trouble now!” Fourth Brother suddenly leaned back. “What’s your plan?”

“What can we do? I just have to pretend that it never happened!”

“No, no, no. We shouldn’t do it in this way. Now that it has developed to this current state, we’re responsible for it. We can’t just neglect it!”

“Then, what should we do?”

“Now that it has happened, just let it be publicly known. Anyway, I don’t suppose that anyone will be interested in it. What do you think of it?”

“This will make it hard for us to achieve our plot against Heaven Realm World!”

“You mean, those old guys will worry about it?”

“You are also worried about it now, Fourth Brother!”

“They will know even if we don’t tell them!”

“Let them do it and suffer a setback! Perhaps it will diminish their strength!”

“You want to throw the ball into their court?”

“In such a case, showing weakness is not a disgrace!”

“In such a situation, we will have internal strife. I guess Zhao Wuyan will be happy to see it!”

“Zhao Wuyan? You think he will care about the Void Universe? His focus has never changed. In his eyes, we are both unworthy people!”

“Whether he cares about it or not, the Devil Tribulation is approaching. Your plan will weaken us!”

“If I don’t do it, won’t our strength decline?” Ling Ruo laughed coldly. “An Earthly Immortal died. A Heavenly Fairy Weapon suddenly emerged. We have a lot of explaining to do. Now, all the Earthly Immortals are like rutting worms and are paying close attention to it. Without an explanation, the Void Universe will always be in a mess. If that’s the case, no matter what great efforts we make, we can’t undergo the Devil Tribulation. Hence, sacrificing several people is unavoidable. It will only make the Void Universe more united!”

“Like Heavenly Court that year!”

“It’s impossible now. If my strength is as strong as it is now within the span of 100,000 years after the disappearance of Heaven Realm World, I’m sure I can rebuild Heavenly Court, even though I’m not an Earthly Immortal. But now, everything is impossible. You know what I mean!”

“Of course, I know. After all this time, the people are becoming ambitious. But what you want to do now is equally troublesome. Although you are not rebuilding Heavenly Court, you still need to divert their attention. It’s not a easy job!”
