Chapter 249 The Target of Public Criticism (Part 1)



"Gu Yu, you don't want to talk about the past because you feel guilty, right?" Lu Yao asked upon hearing Gu Yu's words.

"There's nothing between us to begin with, so saying more won't help," Gu Yu said. Guilt? How could he feel guilty towards Lu Yao? Although he wasn't reborn, that memory was still someone's glimpse into the future, and Lu Yao would definitely harm him.

"You heartless bastard." Lu Yao looked at the resolute Gu Yu and said through gritted teeth, "Then you should just die!"

As Lu Yao spoke, she moved her hand and suddenly pressed it down in the direction where Gu Yu was.

The next second, a powerful force suddenly emanated, instantly blocking Lu Yao's attack.

"What a powerful formation!" Lu Yao frowned; the one blocking her power was the Qiankun God-Slaying Formation.

"Lu Yao, you think you can kill me? It won't be that easy." Gu Yu's expression turned cold. Although he was seriously injured, as long as he had the Qiankun God-Slaying Array, few people in this world could kill him.

Gu Yu formed hand seals, and countless beams of light appeared, instantly spreading towards Lu Yao.

Upon seeing this, Lu Yao's pupils contracted, and she vanished in an instant.

"Gu Yu, one day I will make you wish you were dead." Lu Yao left behind these resentful words.

The power of the Qiankun God-Slaying Array is beyond her ability to resist. Perhaps she could try using the triple amplification, but she has just used the triple amplification and cannot use it again in a short period of time.

After leaving, Lu Yao headed straight for the Holy Capital. Her terrifying demonic power filled everyone who saw her with extreme fear.

"Everyone, submit to me, Lu Yao, and I can guarantee your survival in the apocalypse." Lu Yao's voice not only resounded in China but also echoed throughout the world.

What was the point of Lu Yao's power? Wasn't it to become the most powerful and highest-ranking person in the world?

Now that she is powerful, she naturally wants to realize her ambitions and aspirations.

The sky over the capital suddenly turned pitch black, and terrifying dragon roars swept out continuously.

The ink painting suddenly appeared. It looked at the endless demonic energy in the sky and frowned. Could it be Wuzhiqi?

This caused a look of fear to appear in its eyes. Being severely injured by an arrow from the Emperor Slayer Bow left it with a huge psychological scar.

"No, she's not Wuzhiqi." Shuimo immediately realized that although Wuzhiqi possessed astonishing demonic power, it did not have the might of a dragon.

boom…………

Just as Shuimo was pondering, a demonic dragon suddenly appeared in front of it, startling it.

"The Demon Dragon Emperor?"

"I am not the Demon Dragon Emperor, I am Lu Yao." Lu Yao transformed into human form and looked at Shui Mo.

"Huh?" Shuimo was completely dumbfounded at this moment.

“You are very strong. Submit to me, and I may spare your life,” Lu Yao said, looking at Shui Mo.

"How arrogant!" Shui Mo was immediately annoyed when she heard Lu Yao demand that it submit.

"Hmph!" Upon hearing Shui Mo's words, Lu Yao immediately snorted coldly, and the next second she slapped Shui Mo with her palm.

Shui Mo also met the attack with a palm strike, and with a bang... the two palms clashed, and Shui Mo was immediately sent flying backward.

In fact, if Shuimo were at its peak, Lu Yao would not be a match for Shuimo. However, Shuimo has not recovered after being severely injured by Wuzhiqi's arrow.

This resulted in it being no match for Lu Yao, and because of its injuries, this palm strike only worsened its condition.

Upon seeing that Shui Mo was injured, several powerful members of the Water Kirin clan immediately flew out and surrounded Lu Yao.

"Just you few?" Lu Yao looked at the group with disdain. The next second, she suddenly waved her hand, and the powerful members of the Water Qilin were sent flying backward.

"I'll give you one more chance to submit to me," Lu Yao said.

Looking at this scene in the air, Mo Shougui gritted his teeth.

“It’s time,” Mo Shougui murmured. The next second, his aura suddenly surged, and a surge of power poured out from underground in Huazhong. The Great Emperor trembled, and the sky changed color.

This caused Lu Yao, who had initially been dismissive, to immediately change her expression. "What is this?"

"It really is here." A hint of surprise appeared in Shui Mo's eyes.

boom…………

The next second, a dazzling golden light burst forth, instantly enveloping the entire Central China region.

A surge of golden energy shot directly at Lu Yao, who hurriedly tried to defend herself but was immediately blasted away.

"What is this?" Lu Yao was somewhat frantic as she looked at the golden energy covering Central China.

She was repelled by the Qiankun God-Slaying Array in Mocheng, and then repelled by this golden energy shield in Shengjing. How could she possibly achieve her goal of dominating the world? This drove her somewhat crazy.

At this moment, Mo Shougui's face had more wrinkles, and his figure had become even thinner. The situation was becoming increasingly uncontrollable. Fortunately, he had this last trick up his sleeve, which was also his only hope at the moment.

Looking at the energy shield, Lu Yao gritted her teeth! It seemed she still needed to improve her cultivation. With a swift movement, Lu Yao vanished.

She then headed straight for the Heavenly Demon Source Gate.

"Senior Shuimo, are you alright?" Mo Shougui asked, looking at the trembling Shuimo.

"It's alright," Shuimo replied. "Right now, I need to recover from my injuries as quickly as possible. By the way, there should be the corpse of some powerful figure here!"

"Senior, you misunderstand. It's just a restriction," Mo Shougui said immediately upon hearing Shui Mo's question.

"Oh!" Shuimo nodded, but it was unlikely to believe Mo Shougui's words, after all, it knew some things.

Then it suddenly gave a wink to several powerful members of the Water Kirin Clan.

Mo Shougui suddenly felt his body sink, as if he had been imprisoned in place.

"Senior Shuimo, what are you doing?" Mo Shougui asked in a somewhat frightened manner.

"Guess?" Shui Mo's face turned cold. "You think I would actually protect humanity? What a joke! Tell me, where is the body?"

"I don't know," Mo Shougui replied directly upon hearing Shui Mo's words.

"Are you sure you don't know?" Shui Mo looked at Mo Shougui. "Then I will slaughter everyone here."

"You..." Mo Shougui's expression changed drastically upon hearing Shui Mo's words. He knew that Shui Mo protected humanity for a reason, but he never expected that Shui Mo's purpose was the corpse of that powerful figure.

Now, this corpse is humanity's only hope, and he absolutely cannot tell Shui Mo about it. But if he doesn't tell her, she will kill everyone, which puts him in a desperate situation.

"It seems you won't compromise unless I teach you a lesson." Seeing that Mo Shougui remained silent, Shuimo's expression turned cold. "Go, kill everyone here first."

“I’m telling you,” Mo Shougui said immediately upon hearing Shui Mo’s words, “only I can get to that place, so you have to let me go first.”

"Hehe..." Shui Mo chuckled mockingly upon hearing Mo Shougui's words, "Do you think I'm an idiot? If I let you go, you can use your power to kill us?"

“Whether you believe it or not, you can’t reach the location of the body unless you let go of me,” Mo Shougui said.

"If you won't listen to reason, you'll have to suffer the consequences. Go, massacre the city." As soon as Shui Mo finished speaking, a powerful figure behind him immediately attacked, unleashing a palm strike that instantly annihilated a section of the Holy Capital. This caused Mo Shougui's expression to change drastically.

"You turtle shell, you turtle shell can lead you to the corpse," Mo Shougui said, seeing the water unicorn about to continue its attack.

"A turtle shell?" Shui Mo frowned, and the next second, a turtle shell appeared.

“This is…” Shui Mo stared at the turtle shell, stunned. “This is the divine tortoise shell used by the ancestor of mankind for divination.”

"The Ancestor of Humanity?" Mo Shougui frowned.

"You possess such a divine artifact, yet you don't know who created it? I'm afraid you don't even know whose corpses are here," Shui Mo said, looking at Mo Shougui.

Mo Shougui truly didn't know, because he possessed the Divine Tortoise Shell, which gave him knowledge of an incomparably powerful corpse that had been protecting Huazhong. As for whose it was, how could he possibly know?

“Hehe…” Looking at Mo Shougui’s expression, Shui Mo knew that Mo Shougui was unaware of this.

“This corpse belongs to the Ancestor of Humanity. He has been protecting your weak human race all along. Otherwise, how could your human race have survived until now? Even with the protection of the Dragon Clan, you would have been wiped out by all the other races long ago.” Shui Mo said slowly. “Of course, this is not your fault. In this world, apart from me, there are probably no more than two people who know that the Ancestor of Humanity is dead.”

This is because the former patriarch of my Water Kirin clan was the mount of the Human Ancestor, which is why we learned of this earth-shattering news.

"Then what do you want the corpse of the Ancestor of Humanity for?" Mo Shougui frowned as he looked at Shui Mo.

"Do you know how the Ancestor of Humanity became an Ancestor Realm expert?" Shui Mo looked at Mo Shougui. "It wasn't because he had amazing talent, but because he had a good older brother and a capable disciple who found the Creation Vein for him, making him an Ancestor Realm expert. And my goal is the Creation Vein."

"Hmm?" Mo Shougui was still full of questions after hearing Shui Mo's words. Who was Gan? Who was Gan's disciple? What was the Creation Vein? It could actually help the Ancestor of Humanity become an Ancestral Realm expert.

Clearly, Shuimo had no intention of answering his question.

"You all stay here, I'll be right back," Shuimo said to the powerful members of the Water Qilin clan. The next second, it waved its hand and muttered incantations, "Blah blah..."

Upon hearing the incantation uttered by Shuimo and hearing the gestures made by Shuimo, Mo Shougui was once again shocked; it actually knew how to use the turtle shell.

With the application of ink, it vanished without a trace.

When it appeared, everything in front of it turned golden.

A golden corpse floated in the golden space. Countless years had passed, yet the golden corpse showed no trace of the passage of time, as if it had been sleeping.

The corpse was not large, but rather very old. He had his eyes closed peacefully, giving off a very kind feeling.

As Shuimo looked at the corpse, it trembled with excitement.

"The corpse of the Ancestor of Humanity... I never thought I'd find it so easily! Heaven truly blesses my Water Kirin clan! Hahaha..."

Shuimo laughed maniacally and slowly walked towards the corpse.

"Back then, my father, the patriarch of the Water Kirin clan, endured humiliation and hardship to become your mount, all for the sake of the Creation Vein. Unfortunately, it failed, but it brought me the news of your death. Hahaha..." Shui Mo was so excited that he became somewhat incoherent.

"Once I obtain the pulse of creation, I will be able to enter the Ancestral Realm, and the shame of my father becoming your mount will be avenged." Shui Mo said, but suddenly froze on the spot.

"Where is the Creation Vein?" Shuimo arrived in front of the corpse of the Ancestor of Humanity, only to find that the Creation Vein it sought was not there, which froze it in place.

The more excited it was when it came in, the more disappointed it is now.

"This is impossible, this is impossible! Who took away the Creation Vein? Who was it?" Shui Mo suddenly roared angrily to the sky.

A vast blue power, like a boundless ocean, surged forth from its body, attempting to tear apart the corpse of the Ancestor of Humanity.

The next second, it was sent flying backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

The power of the Ancestral Realm is beyond its comprehension; even if it dies, its corpse is beyond its ability to destroy.

"Ah..." A sound like a pig being slaughtered rang out, making it especially irritable.

"Ancestor of Humanity, today I will annihilate your human race, ah..." The enraged Shui Mo immediately left the golden space.

It appeared instantly beside Mo Shougui, its eyes flashing with ferocity.

"Kill them all! Slaughter all these despicable humans!" Shui Mo immediately ordered.

Upon receiving the order, the powerful members of the Water Kirin immediately prepared to take action.

The next second, they felt their vision change, and a white field filled with endless cold appeared before them.

"Ice Phoenix Emperor?" Shui Mo frowned. The next second, Shui Mo and several powerful members of the Qilin Clan were sent flying backward, while Mo Shougui was released from his restraints at the same time.

"How did you get here?" Shui Mo asked the Ice Phoenix Emperor. "Did you already know my purpose?"

"I don't know what your purpose is. Someone just told me to stay here and watch you," the Ice Phoenix Emperor said, looking at Shui Mo.

"Thank you for your help, Ice Phoenix Emperor. Our human race is deeply grateful." Mo Shougui said to Ice Phoenix Emperor with gratitude. It was clear that he was being sincere. If Ice Phoenix Emperor hadn't intervened, what would have happened?

The Ice Phoenix Emperor did not look at Mo Shougui, but instead looked at Shui Mo.

"I'll give you one breath to get out of here."

"Ice Phoenix Emperor, aren't we going to kill them?" Upon hearing the Ice Phoenix Emperor's words, Mo Shougui became anxious. This Water Qilin Clan was extremely treacherous, using the guise of protecting humanity to gain his trust and almost bringing about the annihilation of the human race.

"Keep it, it'll still be useful," said the Ice Phoenix Emperor. "By the way, I have some news for you: the Source Heart has been shattered into fragments, and Gu Yu has one of them."

"Huh?" Upon hearing the words of the Ice Phoenix Emperor, Mo Shougui was stunned. All races had only one purpose in invading Earth: the Source Heart. Now that the Ice Phoenix Emperor said that Gu Yu possessed it, wouldn't that put Gu Yu in the position of being the target of everyone's attacks? This was actually harming Gu Yu!

"The Source Heart?" Upon hearing the news of the Source Heart fragment, a glimmer of light suddenly appeared in the despairing Inkstone. It couldn't obtain the Creation Vein, but if it could obtain the Source Heart, there was still a chance. "The Source Heart fragment is in Gu Yu's hands? Why don't you go and take it? Why do you have to tell me?"

Shuimo suddenly realized that something was wrong.

"Because he is hiding in the Qiankun God-Slaying Formation, it won't be easy for him to seize the fragments of the Source Heart," the Ice Phoenix Emperor said calmly. "Therefore, I need more powerful individuals to know about this and break the formation. As for whether you believe it or not, that's your business. You can get lost now."

After the Ice Phoenix Emperor finished speaking, he immediately released his domain. But at that moment, Mo Shougui was about to make a move.

He and Gu Yu sometimes clashed over many things, but their goal was the same: to protect the human race. Therefore, he could not let Shui Mo leave safely, nor could the Ice Phoenix Emperor in front of him.

But just as he was about to make a move, the Ice Phoenix Emperor intervened and imprisoned him.

Upon seeing this, Shui Mo immediately led the powerful members of the Water Qilin Clan away in an instant.

"Ice Phoenix Emperor, what exactly do you mean? Don't you know this will kill Gu Yu?" Mo Shougui asked, looking at the Ice Phoenix Emperor. His previous gratitude towards the Ice Phoenix Emperor had completely vanished.

"I'm going to kill him." After saying that, the Ice Phoenix Emperor disappeared instantly, and the power that had imprisoned Mo Shougui dissipated immediately.

Mo Shougui did not linger. He abruptly left Shengjing and headed towards Mocheng. He had to tell Gu Yu about this.

The Ice Phoenix Emperor did not go to the Holy Capital; instead, she appeared on the Heavenly Ascension Staircase of the Dragon Division.

"Are you sure he won't die?" Emperor Ice Phoenix asked, looking at Fu Xing.

“No, only by making him the target of everyone’s attacks will he feel pressured and become stronger in a short time,” Fu Xing said calmly. “You can rest assured that it will definitely take action. Only when it takes action and gets involved can Gu Yu obtain that thing.”

"Alright." The Ice Phoenix Emperor looked at Fu Xing, frowned, but still chose to believe him, and then turned and left.

“The Heavenly Court will open soon!” Fu Xing suddenly looked up at the distant sky. “Gu Yu, your time is running out. Those Ancestral Realm experts are about to emerge.”

Gu Yu, who was healing his wounds, was suddenly interrupted by the arrival of Mo Shougui.

"What did you say? The Ice Phoenix Emperor said I have a fragment of the Source Heart?" Gu Yu was shocked by the news brought by Mo Shougui. What would happen if all races knew that he had a fragment of the Source Heart?

Those races will probably come to Mo City immediately and surround him.

"Gu Yu, do you really have a fragment of the Source Heart?" Mo Shougui knew from Gu Yu's behavior that Gu Yu really did have a fragment of the Source Heart.

“That’s right, I do have a fragment of the Source Heart,” Gu Yu said.

“Gu Yu, it’s better for you to hand over the Origin Heart Fragment to anyone else than to keep it.” Mo Shougui suddenly said to Gu Yu.

"Hand it over?" Gu Yu looked at Mo Shougui. "Do you know what the price will be?"

What is it?

"Only when I die will the Origin Core Fragment emerge; otherwise, it can't be retrieved at all," Gu Yu said. He knew in his heart that handing over the Origin Core Fragment was the best way, but he couldn't do it!

Mo Shougui's face turned extremely ugly upon hearing Gu Yu's words.

"How did the Ice Phoenix Emperor know that you possessed a fragment of the Source Heart?"

“I’m also puzzled. I never told her I had a fragment of the Source Heart,” Gu Yu said. “Could it be that she figured it out? That’s impossible! If my cultivation level wasn’t at the True God level and I didn’t have the Source Armor, she could definitely see it. But now my level of divine and demonic power is at the peak of the True God level, plus the Source Armor. Even Wuzhiqi, who is at the peak of the Great Emperor level, couldn’t see it.”
