Chapter 2023: Substitution! (1/2)
Edited by: Michyrr
Genesis Supreme said nothing, subtly nodding as he looked at the subservient attitudes of An Yaluoshan, Tian Chengsi, and Cui Qianyou.
”Do you think I didn't want to kill him? If I had delayed a second more, none of us would be standing here! Did you forget that the Sage Emperor was still in the capital?”
Genesis Supreme floated in the air, his hands behind his back as he spoke in a domineering tone.
”What? Didn't you say before that if I could put that pearl in his hands, he would be able to completely suppress that power inside him?”
Genesis Supreme's words were like a bucket of cold water for An Yaluoshan, finally clearing his mind.
”If he were that easy to take care of, he wouldn't be Li Taiyi, and he wouldn't have been a headache to us for so long.
”In addition, I reminded you before to meet us ten-some li outside the city. Did you treat it as wind passing by your ears? All of this happened, including the failure to kill Wang Chong, because you were incompetent!”
Genesis Supreme coldly glared at An Yaluoshan's group.
An Yaluoshan and Wang Chong had gotten into a fight far too close to the capital, only ten-some paces from the outermost walls. This was still within the range of that massive formation covering the capital.
Most importantly, this could very easily draw Li Taiyi's attention. This was why Genesis Supreme had initially sent over only the Tianfu Divine Lord's men.
But unexpectedly, despite the Tianfu Divine Lord's many men, they had been unable to defeat Wang Chong, forcing Genesis Supreme's hand.
The thought of the energy Li Taiyi had unleashed at that final moment made even someone as strong as Genesis Supreme tremble in fear. Even if that man was suppressed by the Black Emperor Pearl, he could still unleash a frightening amount of power!
It was no wonder 'Heaven' had feared him for so long and needed to deal with him through such a circuitous method.
An Yaluoshan was speechless.
In this escape plan, everything had gone basically as they had predicted, but at that final moment, there had been a problem. Wang Chong had tampered with the Nine Revolutions Jade Marrow Pill, allowing him to intercept him outside the city wall. This was something he had not expected.
But at this moment, arguing was pointless.
”An Yaluoshan, I can understand that you want to deal with that Wang Chong, but it seems you will have to wait until next time! In addition…”
Genesis Supreme paused, his tone becoming much gentler.
”You did your mission well. The Black Emperor Pearl has been delivered, and it won't be long until that man is truly dead. Once the dragon of the Central Plains changes, you can truly unite the world. At that time, will you still fear some so-called King of Foreign Lands?
”Stop worrying about these things. Once we return to Youzhou, we can begin your plan! I have already finished the second batch of Yeluohe for you, and they will be at Youzhou soon. With these soldiers, will there be any mortal army that can oppose you?
”As the Child of the World, you must vie for dominance of all under the heavens, must unite the entire world. Do not keep your focus always on that one person!” Genesis Supreme said.
The news that the second batch of Yeluohe was coming calmed An Yaluoshan down even more, and his eyes flashed.
”Alright; it's time for me to leave. You should also begin your journey back to Youzhou!”
Genesis Supreme prepared to leave.
”Wait!” A voice came from behind An Yaluoshan. Yan Zhuang, who had remained silent all this time, finally decided to speak.
”Mm? It's you!”
Genesis Supreme stopped and turned around, displeasure in his voice.
As an aloof and mighty god, he would allow someone like the Child of the World, chosen by the heavens, to occasionally throw a fit in front of him, but An Yaluoshan's subordinates were mere ants. For them to speak in this tone to him was rather impudent.
”Venerable Genesis Supreme, this one has no ill intentions and meant no disrespect. But you have also seen that if Venerable Genesis Supreme did not arrive in time, our lord would have died to that Child of Destruction. Is the future master of the Central Plains not a little too weak? And if there is some mishap, it might affect the plans of Venerable Genesis Supreme and the other gods. I presume that this is not what the venerable ones above wish to see.
”Thus, I was wondering whether Venerable Genesis Supreme might have a method of increasing our lord's strength. While this request might be difficult for others, I am sure that Venerable Genesis Supreme has the ability to fulfill it!”
Yan Zhuang showed surprising boldness, stepping forward to speak.
”What you say is not completely without reason.”
Genesis Supreme pensively frowned.
”Your current level of strength really is rather lacking. Fine; I was planning to give this to you after observing you a little longer, but… I might as well give these things 'Heaven' created to you now.”
