Chapter 1020: Chapter 54: Aftermath (Part 2)

Reincarnation was a team member supplemented to their squad by the Main God Space.

It’s important to know that their team was at the top tier in the Main God Space, and they rarely supplemented members. Yet, Reincarnation was still added, with an extremely mysterious identity, knowing many things.

Many times Duan Lingxian would unconsciously ask Reincarnation.

Reincarnation, also known as the Reincarnation Saint Emperor, had a more profound vision. He vaguely realized something and said, “Let’s pray for victory!”

Upon hearing this, Duan Lingxian was taken aback, then slowly said, “I hope so.”

Not only them, but even those with higher status and broader perspectives, the powerful ones, also vaguely speculated that this war might decide their fate.

For a moment, the atmosphere among the higher-ups turned somewhat oppressive, affecting everyone.

Of course, pure speculation couldn’t sway the overall situation.

Until the appearance of the Saint Emperor’s downfall phenomenon.

And it didn’t happen just once, but continuously appeared over twenty times.

At this point, not just the Central Star, the entire starry sky knew what happened.

Duan Lingxian watched the downfall phenomenon, remaining silent.

The Reincarnation Saint Emperor’s expression was complex; he once had the qualifications to participate in this war.

But at this moment, he could only watch, waiting to decide fate.

All informed cultivators in the Conquest Sect prayed in their hearts for their side to win.

Meanwhile, the cultivators in the Devouring Sect’s territory were also praying in their hearts.

The war duration wasn’t long, and countless people were anxious.

Until Wang Sheng and others returned to the Central Star.

“We won!”

“It’s finally over!”

The news of the victory quickly spread.

The pressure in the hearts of countless cultivators was instantly released.

This might be the best news they’d heard in countless years of cultivation.

“Although the Devouring Sect hasn’t been completely resolved, it’s only a matter of time. Our era is destined to leave a mark in the river of history.”

“I never thought we could participate in such a major event!”

Along with this news, some of Lifeless True Saint’s information also spread.

Especially amongst the Saint Emperor level.

“Both the true body and avatar belong to the top-tier Saint Emperor domain. Such power is truly overwhelming!”

“Are you still comparing yourself to the Lifeless True Saint? Some people, we are destined never to match…”

“Who knows how the cultivation was done, with both the true body and the avatar being top-tier Saint Emperors.”

“Not only that, we had never heard of the Lifeless True Saint’s existence before. Even if emerging out of thin air, how could such a powerful being be hidden for millions of years before being exposed? Compared to the brothers Feng and Jin, the Lifeless True Saint seems much more concealed.”

Feng and Jin are also peculiar amongst the Saint Emperor level.

Only a few Saint Emperors know of their existence.

“Not to mention, Feng and Jin, work under them.”

“It does seem fitting, but Feng and Jin should know where the Lifeless True Saint comes from, right?”

“Aren’t you curious?”

“Speaking of this, I’ve heard some things…” someone interjected.

“Tell us in detail!” Quite a few Saint Emperors were curious about the Lifeless True Saint’s origin.

This person did not hide and said, “You all should know about the Newborn Land, right? The Lifeless True Saint is very likely from there.”

“Impossible…”

“Why not? Think about who Xing Yuan has been close with recently…”

Xing Yuan is considered a legendary figure among Saint Emperors.

Everyone knew that Xing Yuan had entered the Newborn Land.

Originally, they thought Xing Yuan schemed against the alliance, even against the Shattered Star Sacred Land.

But ever since the Shattered Star Sacred Land’s plan failed, they learned that it wasn’t that Xing Yuan didn’t want to keep promises, but he simply had no opportunity.

The Newborn Land harbors terrifyingly strong individuals.

Even the Shattered Star Sacred Land couldn’t handle it.

Originally they thought Xing Yuan was doomed, but unexpectedly he returned.

Xing Yuan’s return evoked many imaginations, and now following the Lifeless True Saint, it’s hard not to suspect.

“Where’s such a strong figure, the Lifeless True Saint, perhaps the one who stopped the Shattered Star Sacred Land…”

“If true, how interesting would that be? The Shattered Star Sacred Land wanted to enter the Newborn Land, but it had long been infiltrated by us…”

Though there’s no concrete evidence, Xing Yuan’s presence itself hints at many problems.

Rumors spread rapidly.

Wang Sheng’s reputation soared, and many pondered whether to align with him directly.

After all, it was the Newborn Land, even the place plotted by the Shattered Star Sacred Land.

If they could gain some fortune from it, they might progress further.

Anyway, with the issue of the Devouring Sect nearing resolution, the restrictions from Feixian Star and the Shattered Star Sacred Land on them diminished significantly. Even if they don’t switch allegiance, they would eventually return to their own factions.

Might as well find a way and give it a shot.

Unfortunately, it was merely wishful thinking.

Because they couldn’t even meet Wang Sheng.

After returning to the Central Star, Wang Sheng began his own affairs.

First, of course, was locating Chong Xu and Hei Yuan.

Saint Emperors had long brought back direct bloodlines of Chong Xu and Hei Yuan.

“I’ve fought with them and have their direct bloodline. The power of causality should play a significant role…”

Wang Sheng did not hesitate and directly used his connection with Chong Xu and Hei Yuan, and their direct bloodlines, to establish a causal line with them both.

The following matters were straightforward, finding people through the causal line.

“Success or not, it all depends on this…”

Chong Xu and Hei Yuan’s means of escape were self-evident to him.

No top-tier Saint Emperor is simple.

Even if his battle strength surpassed theirs, he couldn’t guarantee how many trump cards they still had.

If it fails once, the opposite would be on guard, so there’s no need to waste time.

After all, he himself had many other things to address.

The moment causality activated, he sensed the presence of two targets.

However—

“I did feel them, but the location is elusive, seemingly omnipresent… indeed, they’re prepared against our search.”

Evidently, after Chong Xu and Hei Yuan fled, they immediately became defensive.

Though it’s unknown what means they used, the ability to limit causal searching is certainly not simple.

Wang Sheng thought for a while, eventually abandoning the search.

“Cannot find them temporarily, but that doesn’t mean doing nothing…”

The cause and effect ability originate from the Divine Skills he created, the “God-slaying Sword.”

And the curse derived from causality, he rarely used after entering the Twelfth Realm.

But rarely used doesn’t mean useless.

“Using a curse to curse kill an ordinary Twelve Realm Saint Emperor isn’t much of a problem; against top-tier Saint Emperors with many trump cards, even if it can’t easily kill, it should suffice to trouble Chong Xu and Hei Yuan!”

He directly launched the curse killing.

After a long absence, he sensed the consumption of lifespan.

Not much, but it’s still quite astonishing.

“Indeed, top-tier Saint Emperors are referred to as the Thirteenth Realm by some cultivators for a reason…”

Right now, cursing a typical Saint Emperor, unless doing it swiftly, would not consume lifespan.

But facing top-tier Saint Emperors, merely starting already consumes it.

This is a clear distinction.

Moreover, he also felt if not for the war, he might not have established a causal link for curse killing.

“Not sure how much lifespan a complete curse kill would require; it’s probably not a small amount, maybe even impossible to curse kill completely. Since so, there’s no rush, let’s curse gradually!”

The higher the level, the harder it is to curse kill.

But curses are best at weakening states.

Chong Xu and Hei Yuan should not think of recovering.

Unless they have a way to entirely isolate themselves from causality capability.

But evidently, hiding themselves was Chong Xu and Hei Yuan’s limit.

Otherwise, they should’ve begun counterattacking the moment they were cursed.

“Hehe, hope you like my ‘gift’. ”

Wang Sheng chuckled, his smile a bit insidious.

Meanwhile, Chong Xu and Hei Yuan, who were hiding and healing their wounds, were further damaged.

Moreover, this time, they couldn’t find the source for a while and could only guess it was the Conquest Sect’s method.

“Hehehe, nice method… but don’t think we’ll give up…”

Even at this moment, Chong Xu and Hei Yuan hadn’t given up, continually seeking opportunities.

And after Wang Sheng’s cursing, he shifted his attention to affairs left unresolved before the war.

He hadn’t yet tested the Soul Purifying Sea ability…
