“Killing is not a way out. Anyway, you can’t just kill the Fairy Pool Hunter!” Zhou Bao said, shaking his head. “This jerk came to the Taihua Mountain to meet you in person, but he merely sent Ye Qingtian to visit me. It’s really belittling to me. No matter what, I will not let him take the position of Fate Creator. Otherwise, there will be no future for us!”

“He just came here to bargain. He wants me to give up my identity as Fate Creator!” The Fate Creation Boy said, his face quite calm. “And the considerations he promised are very generous!”

“You didn’t say yes, did you?”

“Of course I didn’t. But he has gained the support of the Sea Emperor, which puts me in a very acquiescent position!” The Fate Creation Boy heaved a sigh.

“No wonder he only sent Ye Qingtian to me. It turns out that he has the Sea Emperor backing him. And that’s also why I came here. I was worried he might actually get the support, but now…What’s the relationship between him and the Sea Emperor?”

“Don’t know. The Fairy Pool Hunter’s background is quite mysterious. Though I just met him, I couldn’t tell his origin. Since antiquity times ended and the Fairy Weapon of Fate was divided into three pieces, the Ranking of Demons and Immortals has been at the hand of the Sea Emperor. The Golden Mountain of Fate and the Immortal-burying Pool have both been handed down many times and are now in the Four Eastern Regions and the Three Western Regions, stabilizing the Fate and Principle of Great Ways in the two regions respectively. In this way, many people have assumed the position of the Fairy Pool Hunter, but I’ve never heard about any of them having a connection with the Vast Sea Emperor!”

“Isn’t the Vast Sea Emperor one of the 99 Emperors from antiquity times? You should know him; why didn’t he support you?”

“The 99 Emperors from antiquity times are all Earthly Immortals, commanding the whole world. But there were different factions. In antiquity times, I didn’t want to get involved in all this, so I was not close to the emperors!” The Fate Creation Boy gave a wry smile and shook his head. “The Vast Sea Emperor was a Demonic Emperor. In antiquity times when a Demon tribe was severely suppressed by a Human Tribe, many Demonic Emperors blamed it on me. Thus, I was not really on good terms with them!”

“Unbelievable!”

Zhou Bao did not know much about secrets from antiquity times. But after hearing the Fate Creation Boy’s account, he found this matter troublesome. “If that’s the case, why didn’t the Vast Sea Emperor compete for this position himself? Why is he offering his support to the Fairy Pool Hunter? Is the Fairy Pool Hunter part of the Demon tribe as well?”

Although Zhou Bao was asking this question, he actually already knew the answer. The Fairy Pool Hunter ruled the Immortal-burying Pool in the Three Western Regions, a human being territory like the Four Eastern Regions. Men would not allow a member of the Demon tribe to control such a crucial object, therefore the probability of the Fairy Pool Hunter being a demon was quite low.

“He is already an Earthly Immortal. He doesn’t care whether he can be a Fate Creator or not. In fact, he is unable to become a Fate Creator, because he is trapped in a mysterious space-time with no way of breaking out!”

“What? He’s trapped?”

“Yes. He’s trapped. Otherwise, how else could the Seven-deity Regions have enjoyed such a peaceful time over the past million years. It all comes down to the fact that he has been locked up. He is an Earthly Immortal. But the barrier of the Seven-deity Regions can only block out Divine Immortals, there is no way to repel an Earthly Immortal. If he gets his freedom back, even if he does not destroy the Seven-deity Regions, there’s no way he’s keeping the peace in the Seven-deity Regions any longer!”

“You’re not telling me that after the three parts of the Fairy Weapon of Fate merge into one, the new Fairy Weapon of Fate will be able to get him out, are you?”

“Of course. Do you reckon Fate Creators are all useless wrecks? They’re not! Although the Sea Emperor is locked up, his ‘jail’ is located in our Heaven Realm World. If the Fairy Weapon of Fate is restored to its original state, he could be released!”

“The Fairy Pool Hunter must be using this consideration in exchange for the Vast Sea Emperor’s support!”

“That’s probably right. Otherwise, this whole thing wouldn’t make sense!” The Fate Creation Boy forced a smile.

“If he does this, isn’t he worried about the devastation of the Seven-deity Regions once the Vast Sea Emperor gets out?”

“If he becomes the Fate Creator, there is nothing he ought to fear. The deal the Vast Sea Emperor gave him most certainly includes a promise like never picking on the Seven-deity Regions. There is no need to worry about that.”

“Well then, you can offer the same consideration to the Vast Sea Emperor as well!”

“Humph, why should I make the same offer he did!” The Fate Creation Boy raised his head to face the sky, and went on dismissively, “If he hadn’t struck first to beat me back then, the Heaven Realm World wouldn’t be reduced to today’s state, and the Fairy Weapon of Fate wouldn’t have been divided into three parts!”

Zhou Bao was getting a headache and helplessly rubbed his head. It seemed that the Sea Emperor had more secrets between himself and the Fate Creation Boy. But that was not what concerned him now. It was clear that the Fate Creation Boy was not going to get the Sea Emperor’s support; the collusion between the Fairy Pool Hunter and the Sea Emperor provided him a greater advantage. The situation had suddenly changed. The Sea Area had come to cooperate with the Three Western Regions to jointly suppress the Four Eastern Regions. This could be highly troublesome.

“Now that the Sea Emperor is trapped, how much power can he perform?”

“He can perform his full combat capability, but within a limited time!”

“Time limitation? Fu*k, he is an Earthly Immortal! If he goes all out, he can wipe out all his enemies in a split second. Does time really matter to him?”

“But exercising his full combat ability also comes with a huge price. The Fairy Pool Hunter is not worthy of that kind of help from him!”

“Frankly speaking, even though the Sea Emperor, the Vast Sea Emperor, does support the Fairy Pool Hunter, he won’t do all he can to help. It all comes down to whether the Fairy Pool Hunter has the ability to take the position of Fate Creator. If he doesn’t, or he needs to pay a huge price to achieve it, the Sea Emperor won’t play along with him.”

That meant they still had their chance!

“Then, to what extent will the Sea Emperor help the Fairy Pool Hunter?”

“That’s not clear. Logically, to get out of his tight spot, the Sea Emperor ought to be willing to pay any price, but if…”

“If he knows the Fairy Pool Hunter is unable to become the Fate Creator, even if he pays a great price to help him, he will not do it! ”

“So we need to let the Sea Emperor know that we’re more than enough to resist the all-out strike he is allowed to make!” Zhou Bao stroked his chin and slowly articulated his conclusion. “This is sort of an outrageous demand!”

“If this weren’t so difficult, I would not have come to you that day. Any guy would do!”

“We really need to get onto better terms with the Sea Area!” Zhou Bao scratched his head, a bit flustered. “The strength of the Sea Area is really great. You aren’t asking me to attack the Sea Area, are you?”

“That’s your business. But if you help me, I guarantee you the Zhou Family will enjoy eternal wealth and privilege in the Heaven Realm World!” The Fate Creation Boy said to Zhou Bao. “As for you personally, I can help you obtain the full legacy left by the Emperor of the Netherworld, one of the 99 Emperors from antiquity times, and the secret of entering the Earthly Immortal Realm. I can even help you access the most enigmatic Obscure Soil World to search for the ethereal Way of Celestial Immortal!”

“Well, look at what you are offering, how can I say no to you?” Zhou Bao gave a bitter smile. “Really, you just need me to fight a battle. If the worst comes, I can also call for Wang She and the Child-endowing Buddha. They both have a combat capability as high as that of the Divine Immortal, and they fought together against the Sea Emperor once. They are both on your side as well. But you would need to give them proper benefits, too!”

“Of course!”

“Good. Then, I will go and prepare. Discuss it with them and figure out a plan!” Zhou Bao nodded and left the Taihua Mountain.

Watching Zhou Bao take his departure, the Mysterious Turtle Sage’s dark expression was not relieved at all, rather it deepened instead.

“Should we contact more people like the Divine Wind Palace or other sects? Are we being too naive placing all our chips on Zhou Bao?”

The Fate Creation Boy shook his head. “If Zhou Bao fails, it’ll be useless even if I persuade all the super sects in the Seven-deity Regions to stand by me. Anyway, this is purely about combat force. The total combat force of the other sects is not equal to that of Zhou Bao and his lot!”

“But—”

“The strong and the powerful always prevail in the Demon tribe, and that also works with the Vast Sea Emperor without exception. Zhou Bao has an extremely powerful combat capability. Adding the Supreme Fairy Weapons he possesses, he is almost invincible. It is not necessary to find other helping hands!”

“Got it!” The Venerable Black Turtle nodded and fell into silence.

“If the Sea Area intervenes in this and backs up the Fairy Pool Hunter, we will be in big trouble!”

Hearing Zhou Bao’s news, Wang She could not help but find it difficult to accomplish. “Junior Leopard, we’re talking about the power of an Earthly Immortal. Are you sure you can deal with it?”

“I have to. This is extremely important. We don’t know anything about the Fairy Pool Hunter. If he takes the position, our lives will be unpredictable. And even if we start supporting him now, we are just adding brilliance to his present splendor. How could that be the same as supporting the Fate Creation Boy!”

“That’s true. It’s easy to add brilliance to one’s present splendor, but it’s always difficult to provide help in one’s difficult times. If we switch to the Fairy Pool Hunter’s side now, we won’t obtain the maximum benefits. In contrast, we might even be suppressed by the other supporters. But the Fate Creation Boy is different. He is good-tempered and never provokes others. Above all, we can gain maximum benefits from this, and honestly, it’s not impossible to take on the Sea Emperor!”

“Really? You know how to handle the Sea Emperor?”

“The Sea Emperor used to be called the Vast Sea Emperor. I have some old friends in the Sea Area. I can go to them and dig up more information!” The Child-endowing Buddha said, stroking his chin. “It may not be useful, but as you know, knowing your enemy well can help you win all battles. At least we can figure out to what extent the Sea Area will help the Fairy Pool Hunter!”

“It’s about whether the Vast Sea Emperor can get out or not. I guess the Sea Area will go all out!”

“Then, it actually depends on pure strength!” The Child-endowing Buddha narrowed his eyes slightly, and a trace of chilling light flitted across his face.
