Chapter 593: The Plan Commences

“Nine Lives, the Heavenly Blood Great Emperor was absorbed by the Sea of Blood Celestial Lord.”

Lu Ye…

Well, well, looks like the Heavenly Blood Great Emperor didn’t get away after all.

What a pitiful guy.

“But it seems his suspicions haven’t vanished yet. I guess it’s only a matter of time before he suspects me.”

“Fortunately, Nine Lives can already defeat Great Emperors. If we hold on a little longer, Nine Lives will be able to fight Celestial Lords too. Nine Lives is truly amazing.”

Lu Ye understood this, but facing a Celestial Lord?

That still felt quite far away.

The gap between Great Emperors and Celestial Lords is no small feat, especially since the longer the time goes, the more extended the cultivation becomes.

And how long can the Sea of Blood Celestial Lord last?

A thousand years?

Two thousand years?

If he had that long, it wouldn’t be too bad, but the key point is that Lu Ye feels the other side doesn’t have that much time left.

“Ding, host, the River of Time is experiencing anomalies.”

At that moment, the system also sent a message.

“Huh? Why so soon?”

I remember the last time the River of Time had a fluctuation was during the Dark Turmoil; perhaps it was simply because the Dark Turmoil was intense enough to cause an upheaval in the River of Time.

But now, Lu Ye had already reached Great Emperor-level combat power this early.

Hmm…

It should be a butterfly effect!

You have to know, there hadn’t been a battle of Celestial Lords before.

But now, there was a huge clash between the Sea of Blood Celestial Lord and the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord, so it’s only normal for the River of Time to undergo change ahead of schedule.

If that’s the case, the War of the River of Time isn’t too far off.

The so-called War of the River of Time is a transformation that occurs when the River of Time reaches a certain cycle. Once a transformation is completed, the River of Time will stabilize for a very long time, but during the transformation process, time becomes extremely chaotic.

When that happens, people from various time periods—those with regrets, those dissatisfied with the present, or those with various agendas—will directly intervene and disrupt time.

The more past events deviate from their original trajectories, the greater the impact on time.

Some people will just vanish as they walk.

Some stars will explode on the spot.

Some people who shouldn’t exist at this time will appear; in short, it’s incredibly complicated.

In the previous life, Lu Ye also experienced the War of the River of Time, where everything became extremely chaotic, as if the past was being erased. After this battle, reviewing time felt like flowers in the mist or moons reflected in water—completely unclear.

This is also why those women cannot reflect on the River of Time after becoming Emperors; everything has become too chaotic.

Plus, the strength of these individuals is quite different from that of normal Great Emperors—it’s really hard to look back at the truth of the past.

Back then, Lu Ye rushed into the River of Time to put out fires because if time collapsed, the first to suffer would be the system that had already become part of the Heavenly Dao; Lu Ye certainly wouldn’t allow that to happen.

He encountered many powerful beings during the War of Time.

The Invincible Sword Lord, the Ancient Celestial Lord, the Indestructible Celestial Lord, and so many more.

If it weren’t for that, Lu Ye wouldn’t have recognized many shadows he saw during the Eternal Great Tribulation.

Not all time disruptors are necessarily bad people, of course, they can’t all be good either; this world isn’t so black and white.

For instance, the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord—once the War of the River of Time breaks out, it’s hard to say whether she would side with preserving the River of Time or disrupting it.

But Lu Ye certainly is on the side of preservation; after all, the Heavenly Dao is his system and the one he regards as his “daddy,” so he won’t let these two get destroyed because of the collapse of the River of Time.

With this situation, it looks like the War of Time is about to coincide with the fall of a Celestial Lord?

No way!

Lu Ye didn’t dare to think about how chaotic it would get then.

He still needed to deal with the Sea of Blood Celestial Lord—such a ticking time bomb.

“Alright, let’s put the plan into action!”

Lu Ye said to the Darkness Origin.

“We’re starting?”

“Yep, let’s go!”

“Then here I come, Nine Lives!”

The Darkness Origin spoke using the black jade pendant to transmit the message, so An Li caught the gist of it too.

“Who is this?”

An Li couldn’t believe it.

No way…

Who is this?

This wasn’t the voice of the Darkness Origin; originally, the Darkness Origin had a gender-neutral voice since it had no gender.

But what does this voice mean now?

Calling for help, saying Nine Lives is so amazing, and here I come, Nine Lives!

Hearing this made An Li feel sick—it was just so twisted and annoying.

Is this really the Darkness Origin?

The Darkness Origin can sound like this?

What a joke!

An Li could hardly believe it, but soon enough, she did.

“Sea of Blood, I have an idea that might save you!” the Darkness Origin said.

The Sea of Blood Celestial Lord’s gaze settled on the Darkness Origin, eyes thoughtful. The Sea of Blood Celestial Lord wasn’t a fool; saying the Heavenly Blood Great Emperor was a traitor was only because he needed him.

The true traitor, who that was, was still unknown.

The Darkness Origin was indeed suspect, and a big one at that.

It had the ability to leak information right under his nose; it couldn’t be that simple. The greater one’s ability, the higher their suspicion.

But because of the ties between the Darkness Origin and the Heavenly Dao, the Sea of Blood Celestial Lord hesitated.

However, since the Darkness Origin was now taking the initiative to speak, the Sea of Blood Celestial Lord had to listen closely to what was happening.

If it turned out to be detrimental to him, it would clearly prove that the Darkness Origin had truly sided with the Heavenly Dao.

Even though that would be suicidal, there might be things he didn’t know lurking inside.

So, “Speak!”

“Do you know about the Dark Clan?” The Darkness Origin asked.

The Sea of Blood Celestial Lord thought for a moment, “I know, but not much.”

“While you were fighting the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord, the person I targeted the most was someone named Lu Ye. In his previous life, he wiped out the Dark Turmoil and caused the time reset. Since time reset, I’ve been aiming to kill Lu Ye, and I cooperated with An Li, one of Lu Ye’s women from his last life—the culprit behind Lu Ye’s failure to become a Saint.”

“The collaboration was smooth at first, but An Li is genuinely insane, and I couldn’t tolerate it. I tossed her into the Reincarnation to reflect, and what happened? She turned back to the Dark Clan to join her family against Lu Ye. Just a moment ago, Lu Ye annihilated the Dark Clan’s Great Emperor with his Ruler Realm powers, leading to the Dark Clan’s destruction.”

The Darkness Origin laid out the current situation all in one breath.

“So what?”

“The Dark Clan believes in false gods; you should know what false gods are.”

The Sea of Blood Celestial Lord nodded, naturally aware of their existence outside the domain.

“The false god the Dark Clan worships is the Saint!”
