Chapter 730: The Universe’s Righteous Path

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Noticing that the Azure Dragon had not spoken for a while, Chong Daqing thought that it was off the hook and turned to leave to find a place for it to rest and digest a bit…

All these years and this was the first time it felt like it had eaten to a bursting point.

It always thought that it would never be able to feel like this, but from the looks of things, there was still hope in the future.

However, the Azure Dragon stopped it in its tracks by saying, “That isn’t right. Wait a minute, you haven’t gotten this place yet. That evil presence told you that you had to eat us all before it would give you this place. You’ve yet to achieve that, so you’re empty-handed…”

“Uh, that seems like the truth…” said Daqing hesitantly, “Then I’ll just pay you back with money. I’ll pay you back according to the amount of food I’ve eaten.”

“…” The Azure Dragon said nothing in reply and merely stared at Chong Daqing.

Chong Daqing felt a shiver run through its body. ‘I wonder what the Great Azure Dragon wants to do?’

“That’s weird. Why would this evil place want to make a deal with you? There’re billions of souls here, and people with overwhelming talents, personalities, and experiences are everywhere. Picking someone as a scavenger would be as easy as ABC, yet why did it approach someone so unreliable?” The Azure Dragon was no longer dwelling on the issue of money, and was instead confused about something else.

“That, could be because I’m naïve and cute,” said Chong Daqing confidently.

“I see, this place really is evil. I think it was trying to pick somebody with high enough qualifications, but was also easy to deceive, so that it would be easier to double-cross and betray…” muttered the Azure Dragon to himself.

“D*mn you, Great Azure Dragon. Are you calling me stupid?” asked Chong Daqing angrily.

“At least you have some knowledge of self,” said Azure Dragon with a nod of his head.

At this time, a furious voice resounded from high up in the sky.

“D*mn it, you stupid insect, you dare to go against our agreement, I’ll make you pay!”

The voice resonated throughout entire place, its wrath at maximum!

“Ugh, look at you, why’re you so calculative? So I ate some food from your river? I’ll just pay you back for it in the future,” said Chong Daqing fearlessly.

“Hiss… I have never seen such a brazen and bold insect! I converted all the energy of this world into food so that I could fill that bottomless stomach of yours! Can you afford to pay me back?” seethed the voice.

“Uh, it would seem like I really can’t afford it. But you allowed me to eat whatever I wanted in the beginning, then you cheated me and ordered me to eat humans… You went against the agreement first, don’t lay the blame on me…” argued the great green insect.

“Enough. He who is unjust is doomed to destruction. You’re an evildoer that only has evil in your heart. You know nothing of the grand righteous path, so you brought this unto yourself. There is no need to blame the insect,” asserted the Azure Dragon sternly.

“Hmph, I will not speak nonsense with you. Don’t think just because I miscalculated, you lot can then conquer me. Even if you knock me down, you will never defeat me. The path you walk and the path I walk are very different , so there’s no point in hoping I will conform!” roared the voice resolutely.

“Hehe, who wants to conform to your evil path? I want to use the imposing path of ‘love and justice’ to make you understand that evil will not last forever! The righteous path that meets the interests of most individuals will be the one that will survive for a long time. Even if it sinks into depravation, it’ll rise again one day!”

Just as the Azure Dragon finished speaking, his entire body shook once and wisps of white gas started emitting from his body.

In an instant, bright light filled the entire place and all darkness disappeared without a trace.

Wherever the white gas reached, the blood-red color subsided and the green of grass took its place. Life descended once again and all massacring stopped.

The amount of time this emission of white gas lasted was unprecedented in its long length.

The Eastern Pharos once again shone its light onto this blood-soaked land.

Down below, everyone was filled with an upsurge of emotions, their eyes shining brightly with admiration.

Even the faces of Bodhisattva Spirit King and Tianjing Fawang, mighty beings from the Upper Realm, flashed with a look of admiration as they nodded their heads.

After all, at the current stage, relying on his existing strength to completely take over the Heavenly Axiom of an arcane realm was terribly difficult.

As this pair of mighty beings had already experienced their peaks, they understood the difficulties that were present at every stage.

Only the ignorant were truly fearless; the more knowledge one possessed, the more understanding they would be of true power.

“Hmph. If it weren’t because I had exhausted all my power, would I have allowed you to act so brazenly?” roared the voice furiously.

However, nobody paid the voice any heed. Losers would be able to come up with ten thousand reasons, but who would really care about them?

Only winners, who stood at the top, would receive the admiration of people as these winners had left a significant mark on history.

“You stupid insect. You messed up my plan, I’ll curse you so that you’ll never be able to feel full from now on!” roared the voice desperately.

“Uh, I’ve never felt full since way before, so you can curse me all you want…” dismissed Chong Daqing.

“…”

That voice never said anything again, since it had probably been eaten by Chong Daqing.

…

“Hehe, congratulations Venerable One, praise you Venerable One. Yet another city conquered.” Unbeknownst to anyone, the River God of the Sky River had appeared out of nowhere suddenly to comment with a smile.

“Uh…” An almost tangible awkward silence followed.

This River God really knew how to take advantage of the situation. Once the situation had settled, he immediately appeared.

Qiao Anping and everyone else there shared glances amongst each other; most of their glances betrayed their feels of how bizarre the situation was.

However, nobody there dared to mock this great god either.

The ones that were qualified to mock him were unwilling to be inconsiderate to his feeling’s either.

The ones that wanted to mock him did not possess the status or strength to do so, so they could only inwardly express their disdain in secret.

Comparing amongst humans was infuriating enough, but comparing amongst gods was even more so.

Before this, Qiao Anping and the rest did not have much chances to make direct comparisons of this gods.

This very scene that had happened today allowed them to clearly understand that even amongst gods, reliable ones were few and far in between.

Ones like Venerable Dragon God, who always advanced bravely and always took the frontmost-line, were one of the rarer ones.

The ones that were almost everywhere were gods like the River God of the Sky River, who only knew how to take advantage of any given situation.

These ones had lived for a long time, so they cherished their life even more.

Noticing everyone’s bizarre expressions, Bodhisattva Spirit King explained, “The Sky River in the Upper Realm has dried up for many years now, so Brother River God no longer has roots there. Now that his true body has descended, a lot of things that he does are involuntary, so I hope everyone understands him with good intentions.”

Once Qiao Anping and everyone else heard this, they immediately understood why the River God of the Sky River had escaped so efficiently in the face of danger.

They also understood why the pair of gods that had stayed behind understood his intentions so well and had even spoken so much on his behalf.

However, being understanding was one thing, and reality was another.

If they faced another problem in the future and they had to follow someone, it was needless to say that this great River God was completely excluded as an option.

Fortunately, Advisor Ren had long predicted this, and had long ordered them to follow the Venerable Dragon God.

At least so far, the Venerable Dragon God had never abandoned his friends, companions, or sworn brothers…

This time was no exception. They had already prepared to be sacrificed, and they had also already paid a huge price.

The 23 Truth Department elites that had entered were all powerhouses of Pond-level and above, yet now only four remained, not including the two that had escaped into the Draconic Arcane Realm.

The main point was that they did not even have to endure a fierce battle in the midst of all this, and they had died all alone.

One could even say they had sacrificed themselves in vain, and what was worse was that it was all required; otherwise, their souls would be completely destroyed, which was an even worse fate.

This was the reality of an impasse, what resistance could the weak put up?

They would not even be able to put up a fight, as they would be swept away by the wind like dust. If they had not decided to rely on the Venerable Dragon God before all this, even the few people that were left behind would not have been spared.
