Netherworld Retrograde-Chapter 544 - 256 Oracle_2
After everything had ended, Jiang Yong offered up a blood-drenched head, apparently of a captured Plague Knight.
Li Yelai grabbed the head and stepped onto the stairs, arriving at the palace’s high platform and sat on a prestigious seat.
With his back to the crowd, he wiped his face and activated the Blood God Chosen Face, whispering, "Blood Sacrifice Blood God, Skull Offered to the Throne."
The next second, his consciousness was pulled away and transformed into a crimson star under the starry sky of the Void Realm.
In the distance, a dozen bloody stars emerged, each harboring a vague silhouette, some not even human in shape.
These... were all Divine Chosen of the Blood God!
Wow, this Divine Oracle was quite the spectacle, gathering so many Divine Chosen?
Li Yelai scanned the various stars, but due to the distance, he couldn’t see them clearly. He also didn’t know whether the Overlord Level Divine Chosen was among them.
The other Divine Chosen were also looking around the starry sky, with one speaking up, "The last Great Divine Oracle was ten years ago. What happened, which Main Base got taken down?"
"My American Main Base is thriving. Ask the European Main Base. Jile Church took down a Giant City. Maybe it was the European Main Base that got destroyed."
"Forget it, Human. There is no issue with the European Main Base."
"I once felt the cries of the Void Realm. Has another Divine Chosen died in battle?"
"Yes, two Divine Chosen were sacrificed. But a new Divine Chosen was born," a Divine Chosen responded, likely from the Asian region, having felt the fluctuations at the time.
Li Yelai didn’t speak but analyzed that within the Great Divine Oracle, Divine Chosen from different regions could indeed communicate with each other.
It was somewhat similar to the Ark, no Great Divine Oracle would be held unless there was a major event, and it seemed that items couldn’t be traded, far less convenient and stable than the Ark.
Then, a huge skeletal throne emerged among the stars, resembling a massive star.
And upon that throne sat a terrifying four-eyed, four-armed giant whose oppressive aura spread wide, causing the stars themselves to tremble!
He was a powerful Divine Being under the Blood God, also the messenger of the oracle.
He looked down at the many Divine Chosen and said, "Blood Sacrifice Blood God."
"Skull Offered to the Throne!" the Divine Chosen responded in unison, their voices echoing in the Void Realm.
The four-eyed giant looked at Li Yelai, "Emperor’s Fall, you have finally embraced our Lord, and our Lord is very pleased. Once you offer enough war and slaughter, our Lord will grant you a greater blessing."
This made many Divine Chosen look towards Li Yelai, especially with the name ’Emperor’s Fall,’ showing the Blood God’s attention to him.
Li Yelai nodded in response, "I shall not disappoint our Lord; I will bring wars and deaths that will satisfy our Lord!"
As for who the target would be... that was hard to say, thought Li Yelai.
"Great God of Battle, have two Divine Chosen indeed died?" one Divine Chosen respectfully asked.
"Indeed, Divine Chosen Red Fury and the Eternal Life Faction’s Divine Chosen Mo Ya, perished together. And Divine Chosen Xue Yin encountered the Corpse Calamity Apostle, both sustaining great injuries," the four-eyed giant replied, "They have all returned under the Blood-colored Throne."
"Red Fury was too impulsive, dealing with the Eternal Life Faction’s Divine Chosen, should have been more patient," a Divine Chosen commented.
"Xue Yin actually defeated the Corpse Calamity Apostle? Impressive!" a Divine Chosen praised.
"Xue Yin actually died? Such a pity, he was one of the beautiful ones among the Divine Chosen," another Divine Chosen lamented.
"Your child is three meters tall already; stop causing trouble for your own people," another Divine Chosen joked.
"Great God of Battle, what are the orders in this Great Divine Oracle? Is it to attack a Forbidden Zone or to take down a Giant City?" a Divine Chosen asked.
This quieted all the Divine Chosen as they anticipated the Divine Being issuing the orders to let them take down a Giant City or a Forbidden Zone!
European Giant City had been corrupted by Jile Church; other sects were envious. A Giant City, full of intelligent beings and abundant resources. This was a major attraction for any sect.
Once the Divine Being issued the order, they would all rally together to initiate a terrifying war! Perhaps they could also Ascend Demon, becoming Princes of Chaos in the battlefield!
But the four-eyed giant shook his head, "The time has not yet come, but it won’t be far... However, I did call you here this time indeed to issue an important command."
"That powerful Chaos Fifth God’s power has already been confirmed to have infiltrated this world, and His followers have appeared."
"Find them, eradicate them all as much as possible! Leave none behind!"
It was indeed for the Chaos Fifth God! Li Yelai felt a stir in his heart.
"Chaos Fifth God... that racially fastidious powerful Divine, has finally come to this world." The Divine Chosen with a giant dragon tail said wearily, "It will be a fierce battle..."
"Racially fastidious?" a Divine Chosen questioned, "What do you mean?"
"Our Chaos faith is supposed to be inclusive of all, among the seated Divine Chosen, a considerable number come from the Forbidden Zone, originating from vastly different cultures and races, including me!" the dragon-tail Divine Chosen said, "But that Chaotic God only accepts the faith of humans. He shows hostility towards all races other than humans and their subspecies. And He shows the most intense malice towards other Chaos believers!"
"Really? That’s... abstract?" The Divine Chosen were surprised—picking believers based on their race? If you’re not human, He doesn’t want you?
"Then... should we let the Ember Church investigate?" a Divine Chosen said, "Almost all within the Ember Church are humans; if they form a fifth sect, should we suppress it ourselves?"
"No, that Divine Being doesn’t care for the Ember Church... He’s very picky even among humans," the Four-Eyed Giant said, "So, a fifth sect will not arise but instead form an independent force."
"He’s that picky? Does He really have believers?" the Divine Chosen frowned, and Li Yelai wanted to laugh.
Spiritual Ability Users all know the danger of Chaos; apart from the Ember Church, very few Spiritual Ability Users would turn to Chaos.
One could say the Ember Church is the largest producer of Chaos believers. The Fifth God doesn’t care for them?
However, when thinking of Chu He, Li Yelai’s feelings became complicated.
Chu He might just be a follower of the Fifth God!
In an environment of despair, has he turned to Chaos...
He has persisted in the Lost Land for so long... I really don’t want to be his enemy.
At that moment, the Four-Eyed Giant said, "According to the information we’ve obtained, it seems there are His followers among the Wilderness Rangers."
"Wilderness Rangers..." Li Yelai’s heart stirred. He had been hearing quite a lot about this force recently.
His father, Li Qiong, used to be a member of this group but had retired after meeting his beloved.
Li Yelai thought of them as a group similar to Bounty Hunters.
But his father emphasized that they were more akin to Righteous Knights.
At that time, Li Yelai had said, scoffing, "Yeah right, Dad, you’re not exactly a Righteous Knight!"
Though that might not be entirely true—his mother wanted to escape the Jing Family, and his father took down a dozen of her maternal family members to get her out.
That might count as being a Righteous Knight... of course, that might have been a spur-of-the-moment reaction...
"The Wilderness Rangers are elusive and hard to catch," a Divine Chosen remarked.
"No, they will continue to be strongly opposed to us. They might even take the initiative to attack the Church," the Four-Eyed Giant said, "Once discovered, at all costs, eliminate them. If you find the Fifth God’s Chosen... even if it means preemptively deploying the Prince of Chaos or a Chaos Demon, you must wipe them out! Don’t let them grow! Aside from you, other sects might have received similar orders. If necessary, collaborate with other sects!"
"Yes!" The Divine Chosen answered in unison. Li Yelai responded too and muttered to himself—this Fifth God really isn’t popular.
"Then, go and prepare," the Four-Eyed Giant waved his hand, and the space gradually shattered.
At that moment, a Divine Chosen spoke up, "Emperor’s Fall, don’t forget our agreement."
"Fen Xiao? Of course! But I’ve just advanced to the Fifth Sense. After I recuperate for a few days, I will bring my legion to support you," Li Yelai replied.
"That’s indeed congratulations, Sir." Fen Xiao laughed.
"Ah? Emperor’s Fall just reached the Fifth Sense?" another Divine Chosen laughed, "Why not come to me? There are plenty of opportunities to receive grace and advance quickly. I’m almost at the Supreme level."
"That sounds good," Li Yelai chuckled.
"I will come to visit!"
