Chapter 5055 Three Pieces Of News

There were three pieces of news that greatly shocked Davis when he first heard them as an avatar.

One, Saint Riyal Mendez and Realm Master Thousand Windblades were in the Ninth Bastion City. It seemed like they had attended the Crimson Lotus Pavilion while the Saint personally treated many Primarchs as an Empyrean and gained their recognition before even helping them conceive more babies the same night.

This was explosive news that made the rounds in nearly every corner of the twelve cities.

The restaurant they visited was quite empty. If it weren't for that, they might've already heard about this news.

Nonetheless, it seemed like some rogue cultivators who were Exalts and Primarchs pledged allegiance on the spot to ride on the Saint's bandwagon.

Davis wasn't surprised.

Even when he acted as Saint Mo Tian, there were plenty of people who wanted to get in his good graces. So this behavior wasn't surprising to him.

Two, the war over the Galaxy Wormhole had its intensity decrease greatly since the commanders and generals decided to adopt a wait-and-see approach.

This was an important point since he knew the forces of the Hexadra Clan would be concentrated at the frontlines to stop the waves of magical beast tides emerging from the other side of the galaxy. The numbers would be incredulous at the hundreds of millions or even billions. The thick killing intent, not to mention the thick aura of blood emanating in the atmosphere, will cause the armies from both sides to be affected by it, causing them to turn savage.

This was expected. He wanted this to happen, so he could have some sway over the battlefield. Then, using Enigmatic Heart Laws and Misdirection to cause them to attack each other and having Evelynn poison the Galaxy Wormhole wouldn't be difficult. It would also aid in their chances to make their getaway.

However, he guessed that if Realm Master Malzor Hexadra was fervently defending instead of defecting like many people guessed, then the Celestial Transcendent must already be here.

Then, if the Celestial Transcendent isn't making a decisive move to seal the Galaxy Wormhole once and for all, then he guessed the ruler of the Nine-Headed Hydra Galaxy wasn't most likely coming anytime soon, or his arrival is most likely unstoppable.

Considering how the Celestial Transcendent firmly defended this galaxy and left no points unchecked, that the Upper Realms and Lower Realms remained peaceful for billions of years, he refused to believe the latter would sit and wait for the ruler of the Nine-Headed Hydra Galaxy to enter the Celestial Transcendent Galaxy.

All this told him that the Celestial Transcendent had delayed the Nine-Headed Hydra Galaxy's ruler somehow.

How? He couldn't tell.

Three, ghosts attacked the Sixth Bastion City and killed a lot of Primarch-level characters and even killed members of the Hexadra Clan, causing the Sixth Bastion City to be fully sealed.

This was truly strange. When did ghosts become powerful enough to face Exalts and Primarchs? He felt that this was ridiculous. Davis couldn't shake the feeling that this had to do something with his arrival or the arrival of something in his grasp.

He still didn't know why the black-white stone resonated. But since he was intrinsically fused with it, he could feel a strange presence. At that moment, he clearly felt an unknown aura emanating from it, but with Evelynn in front of him and feeling guilty for not interacting with her for a long time, he couldn't be bothered to investigate this strange phenomenon.

However, he had sent his avatar out, so he relegated the work to it, but it found nothing of concern until he heard this news.

These three pieces of news introduced some new dynamics by making a few previous objectives obsolete.

For example, if the humans could seal the Galaxy Wormhole, then there was no need for them to go there and endanger Evelynn. This inevitably left only their intention to deal with the desolate air and reverse the Desolate Era.

However, they also had a new objective. Hunt down Thousand Windblades and steal Saint Riyal Mendez's technique. However, the latter was merely the Davis Family's wish and had nothing to do with revenge.

Davis also wanted to check out the source of the ghosts.

Fairy Qiyra Darkstar and the others looked at him, waiting for him to make the decision.

"Interesting." Evelynn smiled faintly, "Saint Riyal Mendez's entourage is set to visit all the cities and give hope to the people in this tumultuous era. If he takes the clockwise route, he would reach this Eighth Bastion City last, on the eleventh day. However, if he moves in the other direction, then that means he could already be here in this city or on the way."

Davis laughed, "Saint Riyal Mendez is a true coward. He wouldn't advertise himself without assurance of his survival. He's most likely bait. The fact that there are Thousand Windblades there, someone I announced I will kill, being there means this bait is definitely targeted at me. Damn it, why would they think I would come back here?"

He held his stomach and laughed more not knowing whether to laugh or cry, unable to believe that Heaven's Warriors would be this careful and cunning.

They hadn't even discovered he was here but had brought out such a good bait? What made them think that he would leave his hideout?

"It's not only here that they have placed traps for you, and it's not just the Heaven's Warriors." Jaiyan shrugged, "There are plenty of people who will bait Divergents while waiting with Heaven's Warriors by their side. How do you think normal powers manage to hunt Divergents relentlessly? The Hexadra Clan is greatly skilled in this maneuver, unlike the Stormsong Clan, which openly hunts them down, but this is a common tactic for anyone who is interested in entrapping a Divergent. But for you, I guess the trapper must be on the level of a Peak Exalt if they have decided to take the risk."

"Who could it be other than the Celestial Transcendent?" Davis said joyfully.

"…"

His words left Fairy Qiyra Darkstar and the others gloomy, while Fairy Glacia laughed lightly along with him.

Davis also thought of Accursed Warlock, but it was widely spread that Accursed Warlock was crushed by the Celestial Transcendent just recently, so it was unlikely he would be up to no good anytime soon. In that case, by process of elimination, it could be only the Celestial Transcendent who could resort to ruthless traps like this.

The other party was no honorable guy when it came to fights. How can one be honorable when they have an entire galaxy to look after?

He didn't believe the stories sold to the common populace.

Davis was sure the Celestial Transcendent was rearing to get revenge when he offended and wounded Anastasia, not to mention the time when he blew him up using destruction energy the first time they met. He could imagine the Celestial Transcendent waiting in a seat at the corner and moving to confront him and slap him to death.

This person was the hero of an era and still was.

Just the thought of coming face-to-face with this person didn't leave him breathless but emboldened him greatly.
