Seeing that the time was almost right, I continued speaking.
"I was captured. Do you know why the temple didn't kill me?"
Hearing my question, everyone became curious. My suspenseful behavior made these spoiled brats scratch their heads, wishing they could cut open my brain and get the information they wanted themselves…
"Boss, you've really got me worried sick! Just tell me already..."
Si Yang scratched his head and asked, and I smiled mysteriously before saying...
"The purpose of capturing me is the same as your purpose in descending upon the Burial Realm: it's all about that thing. And I just happen to be connected to that thing, which is why your people captured me..."
Everyone suddenly realized that the temple was doing something big, and it turned out that this big event was actually related to them...
“You all know how important this matter is, and my son is the one who controls that thing. As long as I live, the temple can use me to threaten my son and lure him to come and save me…”
But think about it yourselves, is what you seized through the war between the two worlds so easy to control? Even if you do seize that thing, it's useless if no one can control it. Not only will the sacrifices be enormous, but you might also gain nothing at all…
The Void God Realm had tried to seize this treasure before, but for various reasons, it ultimately failed. Even though the Burial Realm had possessed this treasure for many years, they were unable to use it, knowing that this treasure required someone with great fortune to activate it…
So many years have passed, and only my son has emerged who has been able to activate that treasure. That's why your temple doesn't dare to kill me. If I die, my son will be locked in a life-or-death struggle with the Void God Realm, and you will all lose your qualification to open the Heavenly Path...
"You're all my underlings now, so I'm opening up to you about this. My son's future wife has been kidnapped by the Blood Ant Priest. If you help him get his wife and child back, wouldn't he be grateful?"
As I finished speaking, the expressions on everyone's faces changed several times. They knew I was holding back, but they weren't fools; they naturally knew how to analyze the pros and cons for themselves…
The creation of the Heavenly Path is a legendary event; the last war between the two realms was caused by it, demonstrating that the difficulty of creating the Heavenly Path is no exaggeration…
However, the person who holds the key holds the future destiny of these cultivators in their hands. If they can cultivate a good relationship with the person who holds the key, the other party will certainly not forget them when opening the Heavenly Path in the future…
That's the path to immortality, something these cultivators dream of. Compared to immortality, family isn't so important...
I could see their hesitation, and I knew they had guessed my purpose. But now their target had shifted. They were all exceptionally talented individuals, and naturally they wanted to surpass their ancestors and become immortals…
"Boss, I wonder if your son has arrived yet? If he hasn't, how are we going to steal the bride? Even if he has, with his strength, it seems unlikely he can succeed in stealing the bride, right? Even if we risk our lives to help him, it won't do any good..."
Yimadai's words resonated deeply with everyone; it was indeed their biggest worry. The Blood Ant Priest possessed extraordinary power, and without sufficient strength, even the best luck would be useless…
"He is a man of great fortune; otherwise, how could his son become your chosen one? And why should I be favored by Heaven? So as long as you stand on my side and my son's side, offer some easy assistance, and leave the rest to..."
I paused here, pointed to the sky with my index finger, the meaning was clear: the rest is up to fate…
"Boss, we're happy to help as long as it's not too outrageous, but are you sure this will earn you your son's friendship? After all, we're on different sides. What if we help out of pure enthusiasm only to end up disappointed?"
Yimadai voiced everyone's concerns; after all, the two sides were from different realms, so a lack of trust was normal...
"Have you forgotten the child in Qiu Man's belly? This child is from two realms. As long as you pledge allegiance to this chosen one of destiny, appointed by the Book of Destiny, do you still have any problems?"
Hearing my words, everyone's eyes lit up. If that was the case, then they had nothing to worry about...
The Child of Destiny is Qiuman's son, born in the Realm of the Void Gods. Although he is a product of two realms, his mother is a succubus, and as the child of a succubus, his heart is naturally set on the Realm of the Void Gods…
As long as they pledge allegiance to this chosen one, regardless of whether Tuoba San is willing or not, once the Heavenly Road reappears, these old men will surely be taken by the chosen one's side...
Furthermore, these people, through their own speculation, concluded that helping Tuoba San at this moment would be in their best interest…
After all, whether or not one can embark on the Heavenly Path is related to Tuoba San, but has nothing to do with their own ancestor...
"Boss, what should we do?"
Si Yang humbly asked me, "Their current idea is to build a good relationship with me, and then pledge allegiance to the Chosen One..."
Although Tuoba San holds the key to opening the Heavenly Road, they were able to gain his favor by relying on the double protection of me and the child…
"You guys figure it out yourselves..."
Now it's up to them to do everything, since I can't leave the Temple of the Void...
Just as they were about to continue their conversation, the people from the temple finally made their move…
A projection suddenly appeared in mid-air, its powerful pressure causing these spoiled brats to tremble and lie obediently on the ground like lambs, their previous aura vanishing without a trace…
I curled my lip in disdain. This guy was just out there to scare these spoiled brats, to warn them to stay away from me, or they'd get themselves into trouble…
But now this group of people has been completely brainwashed by me. Even though they are terrified of the suddenly appearing priest, they have already made up their minds...
When the oppressive aura dissipated, I had vanished, leaving behind only a large group of spoiled brats, looking at each other, hesitant about what to do next…
When I reappeared, I found myself in a very spacious hall, where a very dignified old man sat at the head of the table, scrutinizing me with great interest…
On either side of the main hall stood the twelve priests of the Void God Realm; this group could be considered the Void God Realm's highest fighting force…
Bi Ao was kneeling in the center of the hall, his face very pale; clearly, he had already been scolded…
"Hey, gorilla, what's wrong with you?"
Hearing my words, Bia became even more furious. He was a golden Behemoth, how could those black-haired apes compare to him? This was an insult to him…
