Chapter 1996: The Astonished Paramount Heavenly Gods

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The Heavenly Light Goddess and Heavenly Earth God were both dumbstruck.

An Lin?

​

An Lin again?!

“F*ck! Does this An Lin really think we can’t bring him down?” The Heavenly Earth God’s was extremely enraged, and his expression darkened significantly.

“Our trump card is gone, just like that…” The Heavenly Light Goddess was still a little dazed as she tried to recover from this heavy blow.

She had deployed the Heavenly Human Tribe powerful beings with reckless abandon in the past. They had now been whittled down to a mere ten million from their original one hundred million! She was trying to whittle down the Kingdom of the Nine States United Army as quickly as she could before deploying the one billion Heavenly Human Tribe powerful beings…

But now, those one billion Heavenly Human Tribe powerful beings were gone?

The Heavenly Sea God was in distraught. He gave them a recount of what had happened, starting from his attempt to alter Lan Xiaoni’s memories, only for An Lin to somehow find them before destroying his formation…

The Heavenly Light Goddess and Heavenly Earth God were shocked by this recount.

Wasn’t it too coincidental to be true?

However, there were no flaws in this story!

The Heavenly Sea God’s tears had flowed into literal oceans as he requested punishment from the Heavenly Light Goddess and Heavenly Earth God in order to ease his guilt.

However, the two Heavenly Gods couldn’t do anything! The Heavenly Sea God was already severely wounded, so any further punishment could kill him!

They detested the Heavenly Sea God for dropping the ball at such a critical juncture, but he was so distraught already that they didn’t even feel like hurling abuse at him.

“We’ll discuss this another time,” the Heavenly Light Goddess said in a thunderous voice.

Thus, the Heavenly Light Goddess and the Heavenly Earth God cut off the voice transmission.

Was this the end of that matter?

No, this was only the beginning.

On that day, extremely terrifying lights suddenly erupted in the eastern region of the Tai Chu Continent. It was as if a series of devastating explosions were being set off in quick succession.

Near the White Nectar Sea, the earth tremored and quaked violently as a terrifying power exploded forth. It was as if a primordial, ferocious beast were trying to shatter the earth with its devastating power.

The Kingdom of the Nine States United Army was given a massive fright.

All troops were immediately gathered in preparation for battle.

However, this situation lasted for two hours before receding.

The Heavenly Human Tribe didn’t attack, nor did the paramount Heavenly Gods.

Peace and quiet resumed. Everyone looked at one another with blank expressions, unsure of what the Heavenly Human Tribe was plotting.

“Light, the ocean is not my territory, so I don’t know what goes on there. Do you know what happened?” the Heavenly Earth God asked.

The Heavenly Light Goddess replied in a grim voice, “I’ve simulated the situation over ten thousand times, and even though the circumstances seem suspicious, there are no holes in this story. Lan Xiaoni really did struggle for her life. The Heavenly Sea God really did want to alter her memories. Furthermore, An Lin really did possess an extremely powerful divination technique that allowed him to discover the Heavenly Sea God’s location. After being discovered, the Heavenly Sea God had engaged in a heated battle with An Lin despite his severe injuries, so he had taken a great risk…”

Paramount Heavenly Gods weren’t omnipotent and omniscient, but they could derive a lot of information about a specific event if they used their simulation techniques.

The Heavenly Earth God heaved a forlorn sigh. “How could we be so unlucky? Could it be that the Heavenly Dao is striking us with bad fortune?”

“We are going against the Heavenly Dao by forcefully entering the Tai Chu Continent and eradicating the living beings here. As such, it’s not impossible that the subconscious will of the Heavenly Dao is inflicting backlash upon us in the form of ill-fortune…” The Heavenly Light Goddess sighed.

“What do we do now?” The Heavenly Earth God was quite dejected.

He was planning to use this massive Heavenly Human Tribe army to show the human race true despair.

But now, he was the one to experience despair.

“An Lin… That accursed An Lin…” The Heavenly Earth God’s perpetually stable mental state was being shaken by An Lin.

“We still have a trump card, but the probability of success when using that trump card is not as high as before. Either way, we have no choice…” A hint of resignation and concern appeared in the Heavenly Light Goddess’ voice.

The Heavenly Earth God finally recovered a bit of confidence at the mention of that trump card.

“Let’s settle on a date to initiate the final battle!”

…

At the center of the White Nectar Sea.

Atop the divine tree.

The peerlessly beautiful Heavenly Life Goddess stood on a tree branch. The Heavenly Heaven God, whose body was constructed from white clouds, stood alongside her. Both of them were a little gloomy.

They had also just received news from the Heavenly Sea God.

The Heavenly Life Goddess broke the silence. “Do you see something wrong with this?”

“Everything the Heavenly Sea God said was true. An Lin was trying to kill the Heavenly Sea God with all his might even at the very end…” The Heavenly Heaven God’s simulation went deeper than even the Heavenly Light Goddess’, but he still arrived at the same conclusion.

“That makes things difficult.” The Heavenly Life Goddess’ brows furrowed. “Not only is this a major blow to Light and Earth, but this also has a severe impact on our plan…”

“It appears we’ve shot ourselves in the foot,” the Heavenly Heaven God remarked.

A wry smile appeared on the Heavenly Life Goddess’ face. “We should’ve never given the Heavenly Poison God to him!”

An Lin had only enjoyed a significant increase in power after killing the Heavenly Poison God. He would not be anywhere near as powerful if he hadn’t reached the phenomenal success in his divine body.

Just as all of the paramount Heavenly Gods were in distress, the Immortal Land Above Water was a sea of joy and elation.

“Demon Lord Ling Gu is about to give birth!”

“He’s so loud!”

“Push! Push harder!”

Some of the West Sea United Army powerful beings were cheering Demon Lord Ling Gu on at the top of their lungs.

“Arrrrgh…!” A true demon over ten thousand feet in height thrashed about in the ocean. His stomach bulged further and further as if something were about to come out.

Tens of millions of West Sea Alliance powerful beings had already heard about how An Lin had saved their Alliance Leader Lan and also foiled the paramount Heavenly Gods’ plans. As such, all of them were in extremely high spirits.

They also knew that Demon Lord Ling Gu had swallowed a billion Heavenly Human eggs. A billion eggs… Each egg was as tall as a fully grown man… What was it like to eat a billion of those eggs?

Following this epic feat, Demon Lord Ling Gu earned himself the title of Egg-Eating Demon Lord.

All of the members of the West Sea Alliance yelled loudly to spur him on.

Finally, following an earsplitting roar…

Boom!

A massive boom erupted!

“It’s finally coming out!”

“Egg-Eating Demon Lord is about to make his breakthrough!”

The power of the divine dao began to surge across heaven and earth.

Phenomena began to emerge.

On that day, Demon Lord Ling Gu reached the Dao Integration Pinnacle Stage from eating eggs!
