The Sea of Blood Celestial Lord was completely lost.
What on earth is going on here?
Everything was fine, so how did it end up like this?
Darkness Origin seemed like such a calm person, so why was she acting like this now?
To be honest, everyone present, no exceptions, really had no experience dealing with someone like her. If anyone like this had appeared in front of them, they would have slapped them into a meat paste long ago.
But now…
Hmm…
Darkness Origin wasn’t exactly weak. The chaos she was causing had all the Great Emperors, including the Sea of Blood Celestial Lord, completely befuddled.
What to do now?
“Darkness Origin, calm down,” Sea of Blood Celestial Lord advised.
“I can’t calm down! Why should I calm down? Are you saying it’s my fault? You think I’m wrong, so you want me to calm down?” Darkness Origin shouted hoarsely.
“You’re not wrong…”
“If I’m not wrong, then why should I calm down? Am I calm or not? Tell me, am I calm or not?”
“Calm down, calm down.”
“Then you should apologize!”
Sea of Blood Celestial Lord…
Honestly, the Sea of Blood Celestial Lord had never been this speechless in his life; he was sweating bullets at this point.
What did I do that warrants an apology?
But since Darkness Origin demanded an apology, he might as well give one. The way she was acting was honestly a bit scary.
“I’m sorry.”
“What about you guys?”
The many Great Emperors quickly chimed in, “Sorry, sorry.”
“Then since you’ve apologized, it needs to be an earnest apology. To express your sincerity, I want to take control of part of your souls,” Darkness Origin said.
Immediately, the expressions of everyone changed.
“That’s impossible!”
“Why is it impossible? You all have no attitude of admitting your mistakes. I’m not trying to take over your souls; I just want you to sincerely apologize!”
“We apologized!”
“Where’s the sincerity?”
“A genuine apology!”
“What I want is sincerity!”
At that moment, both the Sea of Blood Celestial Lord and the Great Emperors were burning with anger inside.
They even thought about wiping out Darkness Origin.
Has she lost her marbles?
“Are you angry or not?” Darkness Origin asked.
Everyone…
Darkness Origin unleashed a curtain of light.
The image of the Six Paths of Reincarnation appeared within the curtain.
“Now you know, huh? Come here and apologize to me!”
“You did something wrong, and just saying sorry isn’t enough! What about compensation after the apology?”
“Who needs your compensation? I want your apology! That compensation is just a sign of your sincerity; who even cares about your compensation?”
“I want an apology! I demand an earnest apology!”
“I refuse to accept it!”
This scene, with the clarity of their dialogue, made Darkness Origin let out a long sigh despite the time that had passed. She felt incredibly frustrated.
A chorus of gasps filled the air.
At that moment, many people looked at Darkness Origin with a hint of sympathy.
Turns out, she had done so much just to deal with Lu Ye.
Darkness Origin, she’s truly… I’m crying over here.
“So, now you see why I had to go my own way with An Li, right?”
“If I hadn’t broken away, I would have really lost control and wanted to beat her to death! Just reminiscing about that moment makes me want to kill her!”
Darkness Origin yelled in a wounded rage.
The Sea of Blood Celestial Lord couldn’t help but feel moved at that moment; he sighed.
“You’ve been wronged. I really shouldn’t have doubted you.”
Honestly, after seeing that scene, everyone present was holding back the urge to beat up An Li and scatter her soul if they could. It was only due to serious matters to attend to that they restrained themselves.
This matter was so important that it even made people endure humiliation.
Now that Darkness Origin had gone this far, they still had doubts about her loyalty. They felt ashamed of their own assumptions.
“Forget it, it’s all in the past now.”
“I want to replace the Heavenly Dao, and Lu Ye is the obstacle I must overcome. But I hope you all remember that in the endeavor to kill Lu Ye, I have sacrificed more than any of you. You can doubt anyone, but not me. Do you have any idea how much I’ve sacrificed to deal with Lu Ye?”
“I’ll put it plainly: if anyone dares to doubt me again, I will fight them! We all die together!”
At that moment, Darkness Origin was feeling immensely wronged, and her emotions exploded.
The Sea of Blood Celestial Lord opened his mouth. In that moment, he actually felt like comforting Darkness Origin.
But he’s a Celestial Lord, the Sea of Blood Celestial Lord. He really had no clue how to comfort someone.
“I completely believe you now; I will never doubt you again. Please rest assured,” Sea of Blood Celestial Lord said.
“Hmph!”
“Let’s check out the altar, I’m Darkness Origin, and you guys are one with me. Everything I do is to become the Heavenly Dao. Once I become the Heavenly Dao, everything will be much easier for you. Instead of being suspicious here, you should put that energy towards a common goal. Got it?”
“Got it, got it…”
Everyone stopped bringing it up and began examining the altar before them.
This altar was indeed not crafted by the methods of this world; it came from beyond the heavens.
“So, all we need to do is activate the altar, and that god from beyond the heavens will sense this place? This altar is a passage, and the Dark Beginning Insect Seal is that god’s target?” Sea of Blood Celestial Lord asked.
“Correct!”
“But the other party is a saint; you alone won’t be their match. We should awaken the Darkness Celestial Lord and Demon Ancestor, and then the four Celestial Lords working together can stand a chance against this god. This is extremely dangerous; if we can’t control the divine being, then forget about me becoming the Heavenly Dao; this entire realm will likely be taken over.”
“So I suggest, when we summon this god, I should stay in the Eighth Heaven, no, even in the Seventh Heaven. If it really becomes unmanageable, I’ll just toss it out. Then the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens’ laws can take a shot at this god, which would wear out the Great Sage’s power as well.”
Hearing this, Sea of Blood Celestial Lord said, “Can we implant the Dark Beginning Insect Seal into a Great Emperor? If we do that, the risk will be much lower.”
“That probably won’t work. If it could be implanted in a Great Emperor, the Dark Clan wouldn’t have been unable to summon a god for so many years. I suspect the Dark Beginning Insect Seal can only target beings at the Celestial Lord level, because a Great Emperor likely wouldn’t withstand the power of the god’s descent.”
“Right now, the Dark Clan has been annihilated, the crafting methods for the altar are lost, and there’s only one Dark Beginning Insect Seal. We have one shot.”
“Also, Sea of Blood, are you sure that once the Great Sage’s laws are weakened, you can recover?”
“The chance to become a saint is right here before you. If you manage to swallow a saint…”
The eyes of Sea of Blood Celestial Lord began to sparkle brightly.
Swallow a saint…
At this moment, Sea of Blood Celestial Lord’s heart was racing.
