Chapter 2041: Chapter 84: Divine Enthronement (2)
Helping the Green Emperor likely involved his own schemes…
…
With Meng Qi leading the way to Lu Ya’s lair, Meng Qi secretly maintained communication with the Moonlight Bodhisattva, using the Glazed Pure Land’s ubiquitous trait to add another layer of protection.
Upon meeting Lu Ya, the Moonlight Bodhisattva also seemed to have sensed something amiss and discreetly cautioned Meng Qi
“Be cautious, he is the true body.”
Lu Ya appeared completely unaware of the covert issues, emerging from a fiery red gourd, his peculiar appearance seemed quite unattractive.
“You are indeed unscrupulous, I am willing to help you lift the constraints on your companions, yet you come to scheme against me, is it to snatch my Investiture of the Gods this time?”
Lu Ya confronted Meng Qi immediately upon meeting.
“Do you believe I can directly mobilize the Investiture of the Gods and have them perish now?”
“Earlier with the Heavenly Mirror fragment, you wanted me to test the Dark Lord, these are two tasks, plus I have already relayed the message to the Green Emperor’s side, the Medicine King Buddha’s nirvana rebirth, the task is already completed.”
Meng Qi did not fall into Lu Ya’s self-proof trap, his words turned defensive into offensive.
There was no additional agreement between the two, but there was no mention that one cannot seize the Investiture of the Gods, on the contrary, it was agreed in advance to rescue the True Spirit of three individuals by completing three tasks.
“Heh.”
Lu Ya chuckled, seemingly not angered, as he stroked his goatee, his face suddenly instead showed a smile.
“Actually, it’s not necessary to make things this troublesome, if you guys want the Investiture of the Gods you can directly tell me, no need to hurt relations, I am actually very easy to talk to.”
Lu Ya spoke to himself, unexpectedly really took out the Investiture of the Gods and tossed it toward the sky.
“Emperor, with this Investiture of the Gods you can command Heavenly Dao through Human Dao, re-establish the Nine Heavens, and build a true Human Dao Dynasty, this is offered to you…”
Tao Yu emerged from the Void and grabbed the Investiture of the Gods, looked at Lu Ya with deep implications.
Originally it was a blatant snatch, yet Lu Ya claimed to ’offer’ it upon meeting!
This shows Lu Ya is likely hinted at by a certain Other Shore entity behind the scenes!
Indeed, relying on cooperation with The Three Pure Ones proved to be unreliable.
“I remember, this thing was initially stolen by you from the God Sealing Platform.”
Tao Yu’s words caused Lu Ya’s expression to stiffen, then he forced a smile.
“But in the end, it is still in my hands…”
“Isn’t it now in my possession? Why did you hold my Investiture of the Gods before…”
Tao Yu waved the Investiture of the Gods at Lu Ya.
Hearing Tao Yu’s words, Lu Ya was speechless and gazed into the sky, is this really the Emperor?!
Though his heart was somewhat explosive, and his emotions were hard to bear, Lu Ya still endured without losing composure.
A voice in his mind told him that should he exhibit any disrespect, the outcome would likely be tragic!
“Earlier, I acted presumptuously, now returning the item to its rightful owner, I ask for Your Majesty’s forgiveness.”
Such drastic change in Lu Ya made Meng Qi’s eyes widen.
The Moonlight Bodhisattva did mention this was the true body!
It’s the true body of a Creation Power!
Even if having achieved legendary status, Meng Qi knew a Creation Power could stir the Sea of Suffering, knocking the True Spirit of legends down from infinite heights, then complete the killing.
The difference among them is indeed vast!
Initially even with the Moonlight Bodhisattva being of Creation, he knew this fellow’s true body certainly had his ace card.
Still, he felt uncertain within his heart; after all, this place did not belong to the Human Dao Dynasty yet.
But now seeing Lu Ya, this ancient power surviving from the last era, stoop down so humbly made him truly glimpse the genuine implication behind this fellow!
“Yuan Hong suddenly came over and offended, because he had no roots, lacking fortune, Lu Ya clearly is different…”
At the same time, Meng Qi vaguely recalled the Dark Lord from earlier.
“He also knows discretion, show me the Immortal Slaying Flying Saber and Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book, as the price for forgiving you.”
Tao Yu reached out his hand once more.
Such intense frustration nearly made Lu Ya explode in anger multiple times, yet he still endured, meekly complying and handed over the items.
Tao Yu indeed merely observed them, after fiddling with the two items for a while, once analyzing them, he tossed them back.
“You acted prudently.”
Then addressed Meng Qi
“Let’s leave…”
“Oh, alright!”
Meng Qi promptly followed Tao Yu to leave swiftly, while Lu Ya stood at the original spot, feebly muttering.
“Farewell, Your Majesty…”
Once Tao Yu was out of sight, Lu Ya finally sighed, ejecting his bottled-up grudges.
“I almost got deceived into losing my spirit, narrowly evading a deadly calamity…”
From the last era survived old monster, Lu Ya who endured several great tribulations, felt earlier it was the most dangerous moment in his life!
Had he revealed even slight imperfection, likely he would have perished forever!
“Indeed, as you said, he is exceedingly terrifying, but now that he possesses the Investiture of the Gods, commanding the Nine Heavens, the Heavenly Emperor, Golden Emperor, Demon Emperor all seem to have a stake in him, who can stop him?”
Lu Ya seemed to be muttering to himself.
Next moment he heard a gentle voice filled with Zen from beside him.
“Originally, I did not intend to acknowledge you so early, the means of the Other Shore may very well be able to perceive through your actions, but lately, the Nine Nether is in turmoil, suspected external changes occurred, even the Other Shore’s insight capabilities are certainly diminished…”
Lu Ya listened to the voice beside him without speaking, allowing it to continue.
“The Heavenly Emperor is but a pitiful remnant, merely seeking survival, dodging the fated life and death of epoch demise; Daode Tianzun will not intervene until the ultimate calamity, and those unwilling to see the flourishing of the Human Dao Dynasty are not limited to us…”
