Martial Arts Genius with Proficiency System-Chapter 900 - 400: Zhou Wuliang’s Path Is Ascension! (Part 2)
"Let those heartless creatures nearly destroy the Heaven-Reaching Dao Lineage. If it weren’t for having a group of good disciples in this lifetime, I fear I would never have remembered everything."
"By the way, you should already know the news, right? The main traitors from back then have all atoned. They hold high positions, and they might have a considerable impact on the Federation’s operations." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
Zhou Wuliang spoke indifferently.
In the eyes of outsiders, those high and mighty figures who held the lives of countless members of the Human Race were like dead dogs from his mouth.
"Rest assured about this point. When this happened back then, the first generation Destiny Master had already made plans. Those traitors may appear to hold high positions, but in reality, there are true power holders behind them."
"Once you return and settle everything, there will be someone to take over, so it won’t affect anything."
The Destiny Master hurriedly spoke.
"Indeed, with the things that guy did, your senior was quite a formidable character. During his term, he held three powers together, and the two strategists at the time were merely his front runners."
"I trust him with his work; however, I have a question—why did Liu Yuan climb to the position of the Lord of War?"
Old Zhou suddenly changed the subject, his voice becoming extremely sharp.
The temperature around dropped to freezing in an instant.
"Infinite Celestial King, please allow me to explain. Although I’m not sure of the intricate twists and turns of that matter back then, Liu Yuan’s actions were for the Human Race!"
"He merged with a Void Spirit, and over the years, his cultivation swiftly grew. You know well that our Human Race is without gods, and to avoid repeating the tragedy of the early Star River era when the deities return, we must try every path that could possibly lead to godhood.
The Strategist spoke frankly.
He had no intention to offend Zhou Wuliang. Even events on the Emperor Star by Zhou were known to them. He didn’t believe the Elder Council was unaware, and their silence spoke volumes.
"So he merged with a Void Spirit. You wanted to see if merging with a Void Spirit could break racial barriers. In the low places, secrets fester, but at the heights, there’s nowhere to hide." Old Zhou rubbed his chin and spoke.
"That’s right, exactly so. However, as reality demonstrates, our thoughts were ultimately wrong. That path cannot lead to godhood. His death at your hands is the best evidence."
The Strategist subtly flattered.
However, upon hearing this, Zhou Wuliang’s expression darkened instantly.
Rumble!!
The previously clear sky was suddenly covered by ink-like dark clouds, with flashes of thunder streaking across.
"So that thing is a Void Spirit, huh? You were nurturing a threat unknowingly."
"I couldn’t kill Liu Yuan. Just as he was about to shatter, a strange, chatterbox-like entity crawled out from him and forcibly took Liu Yuan away."
"That creature claims to be World Light and possesses power not inferior to mine."
Old Zhou spoke with a hoarse voice, a scowl etched on his face.
Upon hearing this, the Destiny Master and the Strategist also sensed something was wrong. Over the years, Liu Yuan had been under their watchful eyes, the existence of that Void Spirit clear to them, and they constantly monitored both their cultivations.
All along, they had believed the Void Spirit’s power matched Liu Yuan’s, which was consistent from their observations.
But as it now appears, they were deceived. The Void Spirit had long realized it was exposed, so somehow, it reined in its cultivation and grew stronger over these years.
Thinking about this, their expressions turned somewhat unfavorable.
"No matter. I marked him. As long as he appears in this Star River, I will sense it and will eliminate him at once."
Old Zhou waved his hand.
"I am not here today to idle away the time with you. I have three matters to attend to."
"First, I want the Ancestor Star to serve as the base for my Dao Lineage." Old Zhou raised one finger.
"No problem. From now on, Ancestor Star is the base for the Heaven-Reaching Dao Lineage!" the Destiny Master nodded cheerfully.
"Second, have the Elder Council, those stubborn old men, come see me!"
Old Zhou raised a second finger.
"This..."
Hearing this, the two couldn’t help but exchange glances, unable to give an immediate response. The Elder Council, to some extent, stands above the three Supremes.
Their members were either the original heroes of the Human Race, the forefathers, or the Supremes of previous generations.
This matter, they truly couldn’t make the call.
"What’s the matter, is it difficult?"
Old Zhou’s voice carried a hint of mockery.
"At the time, my application to reopen the Dao Lineage was rejected three to four times. This matter, though a difficulty."
"Yet, the Celestial Dao knows right from wrong. I, Zhou Wuliang, am notoriously unreasonable, and this issue caused my good disciples to grieve for a long time, especially my youngest disciple, who toiled day and night."
"Tell me, is this matter a kindness or a resentment to me?"
Old Zhou’s voice gradually turned cold.
Without making any gestures, cracks formed in the surrounding space, and dark storms swirled, ready to erupt and devour everything.
"I understand, I will handle it."
After struggling with his expression for a long time, the Destiny Master, feeling the impending, catastrophic fury, had no choice but to relent.
"Third, I want the Human Race and the myriad races to declare war!!!"
At these words, both shuddered simultaneously, unsure of how to respond.
Declaring war on the myriad races, what kind of statement was this? Although the Human Race had indeed grown powerful over time, occupying a significant position in the Star River and ranking among the advanced civilizations.
