Chapter 1810: Chapter 1667: The True Face of the Heavenly Palace
Upon entering the Heavenly Palace, Chu Mu was instead the most familiar person with it.
At this moment, Wang River was leading the way, taking Chu Mu, the Netherworld Fox God, and Emperor Huangquan towards the Roulette Shrine.
The guards at the Roulette Shrine were significantly fewer than those at the other two shrines, giving it a cold and empty feeling.
The smooth, crystal-like floor of the Great Hall reflected Chu Mu’s shadow, bizarrely, Chu Mu discovered that his reflection was not his own body, but that of a black and white Demon Man.
Chu Mu felt somewhat puzzled as to why this smooth floor reflected his true form.
...
The Roulette Shrine presented layers upon layers, with each palace often having another atop it, resembling somewhat the style of the Wanxiang Altar in Wanxiang City.
Ascending along the different palaces, familiar scenes continuously appeared in Chu Mu’s mind.
Chu Mu remembered that Yu Suo had walked through here...
Sure enough, upon reaching the highest point, Chu Mu’s brow furrowed tightly.
A tall stone platform stood at the highest point of the Roulette Shrine, the platform filled with sunbaked gravel, with a pointer and roulette standing at the center.
The pointer was directed at the highest Red Fire Day, a crimson light piercing through, connecting heaven and earth.
The roulette was fully engraved with script, all burning with flames, making it particularly striking.
On the pointer of the roulette, Chu Mu could faintly see a sunbaked, emaciated girl, who even in death, raised her head, gazing at the distant Star River.
Another girl embraced this corpse, long deceased, in tears, and the cries seemed to still echo in Chu Mu’s ears.
At that moment, Chu Mu’s heart was moved, the cruelty of the Heavenly Palace was appalling!
Now Chu Mu understood the resentment in Yu Suo’s heart, anyone seeing such a scene would brim with unforgettable hatred.
The gravel high platform, the needle of the roulette, under the scorching Red Fire Day cast intense beams.
Chu Mu was immersed in the image of the Monument Tears, his eyes began to blur.
"Your emotions are a bit agitated." The Netherworld Fox God’s cold voice entered Chu Mu’s Spiritual World.
Chu Mu felt a chill in the Spiritual World, the inexplicable rage and hatred gradually dissipating.
"I remembered some past events." Chu Mu explained.
"Focus, this is the Heavenly Palace, you can’t guarantee that there won’t be other moves. They are a most selfish group of people," said the Netherworld Fox God.
Chu Mu nodded, sweeping away the memories that were beginning to disrupt him.
Renewing the soul contract was like this, Yu Suo’s memories were confused to some extent with Chu Mu’s, and Yu Suo’s emotions would affect Chu Mu’s emotions as well.
But if Yu Suo were to personally stand here, she would surely collapse instantly.
This scene almost day and night floated in her mind, never once fading or blurring.
"Please wait for a moment, the Human Mother, the Roulette god, and the Watcher God will arrive soon," said Wang River.
After speaking, Wang River had already turned and left.
"Why weren’t the other guys brought here?" Emperor Huangquan asked with some confusion.
"The Heavenly Palace always likes to be cryptic," said the Netherworld Fox God.
As he spoke, the Netherworld Fox God’s gaze shifted to Chu Mu, noticing that Chu Mu seemed somewhat absent-minded, it asked, "What’s wrong with you?"
"I need to leave for a moment," said Chu Mu.
The Netherworld Fox God’s silver eyes flashed with sharpness, "Did you discover something?"
"I’m not sure either."
"They should not allow you to leave casually..."
...
...
At the Watcher Temple, a man whose body was tightly wrapped in a cloak stood on the dome of the Great Hall.
His hair was silver-white, and he possessed a young yet weathered face.
His eyes were also silver-white, without focus, appearing very lost.
Upon closer inspection, one would find he was surrounded by a faintly discernible aura of Demon Flame, sometimes appearing silver, at other times revealing an eerie blackness. Whenever that happened, his pupils would flicker with a flash of unreasoning savagery.
"You should know what you have to do?" a voice suddenly echoed in this person’s ears.
"You’ve given me a very stubborn body," the man replied.
"What, you haven’t swallowed him whole yet?" the voice inquired.
"Just a little more, but it doesn’t matter. Don’t forget the promise you made to me!" said the cloaked man.
"Don’t worry, she will soon learn how to unlock the seal of the Black Fire Day, and your true body can once again gain freedom."
"Then, are you confident in suppressing them, the Nine Strongest of the era?"
"I’ve already separated them."
"Then which ones should I handle?" asked the cloaked man.
"Huangquan, Netherworld, and that guy similar to you, I believe his soul can be quite the feast for you."
...
On the Roulette stone platform, Emperor Huangquan, the Netherworld Fox God, and Chu Mu were still waiting.
Emperor Huangquan, somewhat impatient, said, "Is the Heavenly Palace playing some trick again?"
The Netherworld Fox God’s gaze gradually turned sharp as it scanned the surroundings...
Suddenly, the crimson light on the pointer of the roulette flickered strangely, followed by a glaring ring of flames expanding out from the center of the pointer like a chain, fastening the entire Roulette stone platform!!
These rings of the roulette increased more and more, appearing in different intercrossings, densely sealing this space!
The speed at which the roulette rings appeared was exceedingly fast; neither Emperor Huangquan nor the Netherworld Fox God could react in time. By the time they realized it was a barrier seal, there wasn’t a gap to be found on the entire Roulette stone platform!!
"Roar!!!!" Emperor Huangquan let out a furious roar, its body instantly enlarging into a lengthy gigantic Dragon Kirin!
Fierce claws slammed hard on the roulette barrier, causing an intense trembling in the entire red roulette barrier.
The roulette barrier was exceptionally sturdy; not even the undying level strength of Emperor Huangquan could leave a crack on it.
Emperor Huangquan’s attack reverberated through the stone platform, causing the Heavenly Palace to tremble as well.
"It’s useless. If they dared to strike against us, it means they have enough confidence to trap us," the Netherworld Fox God appeared rather calm, considering even attacking unnecessary.
"These cunning things!!" Emperor Huangquan complained angrily.
"We, the undying-level, have already threatened their Heavenly Palace. Under their rule, undying level beings were never allowed to emerge," the Netherworld Fox God said calmly.
Emperor Huangquan somewhat unwillingly struck the barrier, saying, "No wonder, how come no undying level strong ones from the last roulette survived. The Heavenly Palace, from the start, misled us with all sorts of false rumors! They actually want to capture us all in one fell swoop!"
"Yes, the Heavenly Boundary Monument has always conveyed this fact through some past undying level tragedies. Unfortunately, we were too cowardly, we should have resisted the Heavenly Palace from the start," the Netherworld Fox God stated.
The Monument Tears recorded only fragments of the Seven Sins Fox, White Sea God countering the Heavenly Palace. Obviously, the Heavenly Palace erased the complete scene, which was the Heavenly Palace inviting those former undying-level strong ones to the Heavenly Palace during the roulette’s arrival, then attempting to annihilate them all.
Presumably, the power of the White Sea God and the Seven Sins Fox far exceeded the other undying-level beings. After the other strong ones were killed, only these two creatures of the Ten Thousand Year Roulette were able to contend with the tyrannical Heavenly Palace, the final result being one getting killed and the other a whole race bearing the burden of sin.
