Chapter 1658: Chapter 8: The Emperor of Change’s Choice (2)

“If not for this, Huai Xu the Great Immortal would probably have to prematurely detonate the seal of the Primordial Demon Abyss, making things even harder to handle.”

Upon hearing this, Fata Bi was taken aback. As an evil demon’s high-ranking member in the Great Wilderness Realm, while not the supreme leader, it could access many confidential pieces of information, including a lot about this realm’s Holy Heavenly Demon Venerable and information about the Supreme Heavenly Demon above Demon Venerable. But higher still—the Primordial Demon Abyss and the very essence of demons—it knew nothing about.

—Why does this Platinum Armor know?

—Who is he? Why does he know these things?

“No, that’s not right.”

But contrary to Fata Bi’s imagination, the Platinum Armor was silent for a moment, then pondered himself: “Why do I know these things?”

“This is… the memory of Heavenly Origin’s Heavenly Dao, Huai Xu’s Heavenly Dao…”

“Am I Huai Xu’s Heavenly Dao?”

“No, I am not… I am…”

“Who am I?”

The Platinum Armor once again fell into contemplation. It wasn’t that he particularly cared about the answer to who he was because he inexplicably had a sense of confidence within, certainty that those memories would return and come looking for him.

Right now, he was contemplating actually another issue.

“Has Huai Xu’s Heavenly Dao… merged with me?” The Platinum Armor muttered to himself, “No, just like my lost memory, It should be the same as me, lacking memory. But, just as I separated my memories, Huai Xu’s Heavenly Dao also separated its memories.”

“It’s just that I’ve entrusted my memories to my other companions, while Huai Xu’s Heavenly Dao entrusted Its memories to me.”

Understanding all this, a goal suddenly welled up in the mind of the Platinum Armor.

“Where is it?”

“Huai Xu… I must find It.”

During the contemplation process, the Platinum Armor even released its grasp on Fata Bi’s hand, allowing this True Demon General to fall to the ground—at this moment, It had already recovered most of its strength, nearly reaching seven or eight-tenths of its full power.

However, Fata Bi did not intend to flee. It knew it couldn’t escape, even with seven or eight times its full combat power, likely unable to surpass a single move from the Platinum Armor—this likelihood referred to it probably unable to surpass even the beginning of the move, managing to withstand a blow counted as just an inadvertent epiphany, slightly influenced by the Platinum Armor.

Now, It had completely regarded itself as a dead demon, confused at why it had stalled this Platinum Armor for so long, and why the subsequent plan had not yet been launched.

“Why? Why is there still no betrayal?!”

“Dammit, where are our hidden agents in the Desolate Alliance?!”

In the distance, the Central District.

A short time ago.

Within the Desolate Alliance’s central strategic command, more than seven pinnacle True Persons, eleven Feathered Transformation Real Persons, and twenty-three ready-for-action special Feathered Armors were doing final wartime planning, at any moment ready to transmit through the Great Void to the front line to support six different battlefields.

Among the leading True Persons, there were a few very familiar faces. The representative of the Tianyuan Realm side was a Feather Transformation Dao Cultivator entirely transformed into full armor known as Qu Tong. Beside him was another white-haired Pure Land person’s named Ye Yunsheng, representing the North Heaven Cave Heaven and Tianyuan Ping’an Group, with strength, influence, and potential unfathomably strong.

Especially Qu Tong, who once trained under the Seven Fiend Tribulation Hand and even received the favor of the Heavenly Origin’s Heavenly Dao. He could ascend as a Golden Core True Monarch at any time, leaving the Great Wilderness Realm, but chose to confine himself to the Great Wilderness to hold the Headquarters.

The two leaders had their brows tightly furrowed, as did the True Person with Dragon Horns of the Dragon Clan, who spoke gravely: “Now that the frontline of the Fifth Industrial Group has lost contact, it seems very significant changes are emerging. We should increase our investment in that battle line to prevent the Dragon Emperor’s Remains from falling into the evil demons’ hands.”

“Support.” “Agree.” Unlike most dramas, in the present meeting, all sides unanimously supported the opinion of the Dragon Clan True Person because the presence of the Dragon Remains Battleship was widely acknowledged. With it, the Desolate Alliance could repel seven large-scale evil demon offensives. Without the last battle where three True Demon Generals fought desperately, directed remnant Demon Venerable powers to fall and bomb the demon star, the Dragon Remains Battleship almost plunged into the Dark Zone, sweeping across a demon stronghold!

But the problem is, in such intense battles on the front lines, even transferring signals is difficult. How to transfer, how many to transfer, and who to transfer over presents a genuinely pressing issue.

However, even though everyone appears solemn, none are truly anxious or panicked… because even if the evil demons block out the sun and deploy inside agents to jam signals, they have enough cards to deal with the situation.

“Daoist Kui Xia, now is the time for you to display your skills.”

Qu Tong turned his head, crystal red eyes looking to another side, at a cultivator with gray-blue long hair, fluffy as feathers. This was a Phoenix Clan True Person with a dignified appearance and dark purple eyes like deep dawn light, indicating profound lineage.

With the gazes of all the True Persons upon her, Daoist Kui Xia slowly stood. She said nothing, instead closing her eyes as a halo appeared around her whole body, resembling a nighttime glow, circulating continuously, beginning to faintly reveal scenes illuminated in distant light.

The Innate Divine Ability possessed by Daoist Kui Xia was Dawn Sky Curtain; once she left traces of ’Yuxia,’ she could use divine skills to penetrate, observe, and even harness the light of heaven and earth to wield power from afar.

This Divine Skill, though powerful before the Great Collapse, was restrained by Sun and Moon’s light because their radiance overpowered her own Dawn Light, strongest at dusk or dawn. But since the Great Collapse, every moment marks the strongest status of her ability.

However… unbeknownst to all.

This True Person acclaimed for her duties, rewards, and power actually was a hidden agent cultivated by the evil demons within the Desolate Alliance.

The reason, essentially simple—everyone at the top level of the Desolate Alliance was aware that the Holy Demon who once sought to devour the entire Great Wilderness Realm, Demon Venerable Futility, would soon awaken. This would be the ultimate futility and nullity. If It truly revived, all struggles of the Desolate Alliance, centuries of bloodshed, construction, notions of happiness, future, and hope would all turn futile, aiding Its further ascension into a true Holy Demon.

More remarkably, Demon Venerable Futility received backing from certain external Heavenly Venerates besides Great Heavenly Demons. These Heavenly Venerates might be already tainted by demons or strive to benefit from taking a gamble in the conflagration, aiming for the acquisition of unity opportunity through Demon Venerable’s resurrection.

Ultimately, for the Holy Demon to resurrect and achieve harmony, it must completely devour the Great Wilderness Realm. But if, during Its resurgence, they shatter the Heaven and Earth Membrane of the Great Wilderness Realm, in the timeframe while devouring the Wilderness, gaining unity resources, then these Heavenly Venerates have confidence they can achieve unity themselves before the heavily damaged resurrected Holy Demon realizes harmony.

The so-called Immortal Path demands competition, moving first equates to gaining speed at every turn. Knowing of the Demon Venerable’s resurrection, these Heavenly Venerates naturally cannot stand by and watch the Holy Demon realize its ambition—they must act first to assert themselves.

Yet the Three Realms Alliance and other leaders of the Desolate Alliance strangely resist lifting restrictions, acting ahead of themselves to obtain unity resources, becoming harmonized, and in turn, suppressing these treacherous demons.

Knowing all this, Daoist Kui Xia couldn’t help but feel despair. She only felt her past struggles had lost all meaning… Since the Three Realms Alliance refused her success, she might as well ensure no one succeeds.

This intrusion was wrought by demonic influence, despair and overwhelming fear prompting her actions—if she manipulated military intelligence or provided false intel, half of the Desolate Alliance’s high-level members could fall into the evil demon’s hands.

And if she genuinely rebelled, she could destabilize the Desolate Alliance’s core formation, causing partial headquarters self-destruction.

“These foolish people and dragons… refusing to seize hope and future for themselves and choosing to merely wait. If so, then only left to be seized of your own hope!”

With such sentiments, Daoist Kui Xia activated her Divine Skill.

Then, she saw…

Saw a platinum-colored Liuguang.
