Gao Wu insists on cultivating immortality.

On the high throne, Qin Liuhe, dressed in a black dragon robe, truly looked like an emperor awaiting the homage of his ministers.

It was truly bizarre that the Chaos Dragon King, a powerful level twelve being, would do such a thing.

Emperor—this is a top-tier profession unique to humankind. Perhaps only the Chinese can truly understand the meaning of this term, and only they could be so deeply enamored with this profession.

The Chaos Dragon King's desire to be emperor is as absurd as a snake's love of money.

Gao Wu couldn't help but glance at Qin Liuhe. He strongly suspected that Qin Liuhe had possessed the Chaos Dragon King. Only in this way could the other party's desire to be emperor be explained.

To be honest, he had always thought that Lao Qin was deep and unpredictable, and he had always been wary of him.

Having been through so much together, Gao Wu felt that Lao Qin was still a good person, even though he was too calm and rational by nature and didn't care about emotions.

Xiao Song is also aloof and distant, and doesn't care much about others. However, Xiao Song simply focuses all her emotions on him, which is a bit extreme.

This is fundamentally different from Lao Qin's approach.

Gao Wu still wanted to believe in Lao Qin, believing that everything was for the sake of saving humanity and for China.

The Qilin Divine Hero Mantra can only foresee good or bad fortune, but it cannot see a person's true thoughts.

Especially Old Qin; if he were to possess the Chaos Dragon King, he would be a level twelve life form. It's something Old Qin couldn't possibly see through.

But he refused to believe that Lao Qin was a bad person who had gone to great lengths to lure him to the center of the Epang Palace. What good would that do Lao Qin?
Facing Gao Wu's questioning and scrutinizing gaze, Qin Liuhe calmly said, "The Chaos Dragon King's spirituality was almost completely obliterated. I took the Heavenly Mandate Jade Seal, which disturbed it, and the spirit and its spirituality became entangled."

“We shared most of our wisdom, experience, and emotions. Since then, it has occupied my body and stays here every day as emperor.”

Qin Liuhe's expression was also complicated when he talked about this. Through sharing wisdom, experience and feelings, he learned about the various aspects of the Epang Palace and the divine realm, and even how to effectively operate the power of the Chaos Dragon King.

The Chaos Dragon King's true nature was chaos, and because his original spirituality was almost completely obliterated, he became a blank sheet of paper.

By acquiring his wisdom and experience, one becomes like him.

For the Chaos Dragon King, what he transformed into was originally unimportant. It was only his obsession with becoming the emperor that, in some ways, reflected his deepest thoughts.

Gao Wu sighed: "Lord Qin, this matter should have been discussed earlier. Dealing with a Chaos Dragon King who lacks wisdom is one thing, but dealing with a Chaos Dragon King who possesses your wisdom and experience is another."

Even if Qin's level of knowledge is not high, his wisdom and experience are extraordinary. In particular, his deep and calm calculations are quite impressive.

The Chaos Dragon King has no intelligence, so killing him is like killing a ferocious beast. Despite the huge difference in strength between the two sides, it will be very easy as long as you prepare in advance.

Killing someone with the strength of a wild beast is a different matter altogether.

Furthermore, Gao Wu is now starting to doubt whether Lao Qin is telling the truth. What if Lao Qin is actually the Chaos Dragon King in disguise?

Both share wisdom and experience, and in a sense, the stronger one devours the weaker one. Although Qin is powerful, he is far inferior to the Chaos Dragon King.

Qin Liuhe gave Gao Wu a deep look: "I don't want to discuss the differences between him and me. I know clearly who I am and what I need to do."

"The Chaos Dragon King also has his own nature. Even if he obtains my wisdom and experience, he is still not me."

The man in dragon robes sitting on the high throne suddenly laughed and said, "That is indeed true. I am Chaos, and you are Qin Liuhe. This is not a difference in names, but a difference in our natures."

Although Qin Liuhe and Gao Wu's conversation was conducted through mental communication, it could not be hidden from Chaos.

Although the two sides were several kilometers apart, it was as if they were right in front of each other to the powerful figures present, and it did not affect their communication in the slightest.

Gao Wu remained silent, finding it difficult to make a decision even with the Qilin Divine Hero Mantra.

How can an eleventh-level divine spell predict the fate of a twelfth-level life form?
Gao Wu recalled all the interactions with Qin Liuhe, every word, action, and glance from the other party.

His powerful computational and analytical abilities allowed him to instantly recall every detail of the exchange. He found no problems.

To believe or not to believe, that is the question!

Chaos on the throne seemed to understand, and he laughed loudly: "Qin Liuhe, why did you go to such lengths to bring people to kill me?"
"Look, even your own kind don't believe you!"

Chaos's smile faded, and he slowly said, "You and I are spiritually connected. My lifespan is endless, and you can also live forever. If I die, you will not be able to live either."

Qin Liuhe coldly said, "You are imprisoned in the Divine Realm. Even if you live for millions of years, you will still be a prisoner. What is the point?"

"Living itself is the meaning. Only ignorant creatures seek so-called meaning."

Chaos shook his head slightly, clearly unconvinced by Qin Liuhe's words.

Gao Wu could see it clearly; the chaotic eyes were full of wisdom and insight, without a trace of chaos.

Qin Liuhe said to Gao Wu in a serious tone, "I will use the Jade Seal of Destiny to suppress him. You just need to go over and destroy his spirituality with one sword."

At this point, Qin Liuhe had no more reservations and revealed the battle plan to Chaos.

Chaos sighed again: "You took the Jade Seal of the Divine Realm's Central Hub, yet you won't let me leave. Instead, you want to kill me. What's the point?"

Qin Liuhe offered no explanation; no matter how correct his reasoning, Chaos could not be persuaded by him.

Debating would only complicate matters further, making Gao Wu even more suspicious.

Chaos knew Qin Liuhe all too well; this seemingly weak life possessed an incredibly unwavering will, and words could not sway him. He turned to Gao Wu and said, "Do you really want to listen to Qin Liuhe? No matter what divine artifact you obtain, the spirit that slays me will be devoured by the Chaos Qi. You will then be transformed into the next Chaos."

"In your culture, you kill my spirituality and you die. I will be reborn in chaos and gain your experience and wisdom."

Chaos laughed again at this point, pointing to the magnificent palace and saying, "Do you see how grand and secure this divine realm is?"

"What divine power would be required to build this divine realm?"

He looked at Gao Wu: "Young man, do you have this ability?"

Gao Wu remained silent.

The Epang Palace's divine realm was so meticulously and complexly designed that it was unparalleled among all the temporal and spatial structures he had ever experienced.

One can only imagine the wisdom and ability of the beings who built this divine realm.

He's currently one foot in the twelfth level, capable of converting energy into matter and even altering part of the spatial structure to create a unique spatial domain. However, he could never create a divine domain of the Epang Palace's caliber.

Chaos noticed the change in Gao Wu's expression and said slowly, "The reason why the powerful people who established the God Realm didn't just kill me is because my chaotic nature will not be truly destroyed."

"With his abilities, he can only create a divine realm to trap me."

Speaking of this, a complex emotion appeared on Chaos's face. He said with some emotion, "The river of time flows on and on. Even an unparalleled powerhouse like him could not withstand the passage of time and was completely destroyed."

Chaos feared that Gao Wu wouldn't understand, so he said, "This principle is very simple. Just like human buildings can be preserved for thousands of years, but human lifespan is only a hundred years."

"Life will eventually perish, and even the most powerful gods will decay and perish. The divine realm has no spirit, yet it can continue to operate according to the central laws until the collapse of the universe."

Qin Liuhe did not try to persuade Gao Wu; he simply waited silently for Gao Wu to make a decision.

Song Mingyue didn't say anything either. She couldn't judge right from wrong, but she trusted Gao Wu.

Even if Gao Wu chooses the wrong path, she will follow him forward. To her, following Gao Wu is the only right thing to do!
Looking at the eloquent Chaos, Gao Wu felt that this guy was very good at speaking, much better than Qin Liuhe.

Is there really no power capable of slaying Chaos?

Gao Wu was somewhat skeptical of this. Although his Crimson Sky Sword and Heavenly Fate Sword had seemingly been fused together and their levels had decreased, he was still able to completely control them.

The Crimson Sky Sword, which can only unleash 20% of its power, and the Heavenly Fate Sword, which can unleash 120% of its power, are different in rank, but the second one is actually more powerful.

Holding the Destiny Sword, Gao Wu couldn't help but think of everything that had happened along the way, of him and Qin Jiuyue singing and drinking together in Yingzhou, and of Qin Jiuyue's resolute acceptance of death.

Perhaps Qin Jiuyue was also deceived!

However, he sensed a seductive undertone in the chaotic words, a subtle form of mental pollution.

The Primordial Chaos Realm allows him to keenly perceive these things, and the Primordial Chaos Unity ensures that his spirit and emotions are not disturbed by external forces!
Old Qin said nothing and waited for him to make a decision.

Therefore, it is still easy to distinguish between good and bad, right and wrong.

Gao Wu drew his sword and said to Old Qin, "Lord Qin, let's do it!"

Qin Liuhe nodded; he had been waiting for Gao Wu to say those words. Gao Wu had made the right decision, but there was no need for him to say anything more.

As he raised the Jade Seal of Heaven's Mandate, the golden light that transformed from the mandate of Heaven—a symbol of longevity and prosperity—fell from the sky and imprinted itself upon the Chaos on the throne.

The eight golden characters also caused the void to tremble, and the power of the Nine Cauldrons outside was activated.

Nine streams of primordial energy flowed, and layers of restrictions appeared in the divine realm, continuously shrinking around the chaos as its center.

Chaos offered no resistance. He sat quietly on his throne and sighed softly: "Human life is too short, and vision too limited. That's why you always make mistakes..."

With the Heavenly Destiny Sword in hand, Gao Wu reached Chaos in one step and thrust his sword without saying a word.

The full power of the Heavenly Mandate Sword was unleashed, transforming it into a crimson blade imbued with the divine power of five divine incantations.

In particular, the Vermilion Bird Divine Light Mantra and the White Tiger Divine Weapon Mantra increased the Heavenly Fate Sword's lethality against the soul and spirit.

Coupled with the unparalleled killing intent condensed from the divine will of high martial arts, this was also the strongest sword strike he unleashed.

Chaos was heavily suppressed by the Divine Realm of Space, but he still managed to raise his hand despite the suppression and grab the blade of the Destiny Sword.

The intense heat from the blade instantly carbonized his hand into ash, revealing the true structure of his body: chaotic energy.

Gao Wu thrust his longsword straight forward, the blade piercing deeply into Chaos's chest, which was also the center where his spiritual energy was concentrated.

The chaotic body that was struck by the sword was mostly carbonized into black mist, but the lower half of the body retained the structure of a human body, which looked very strange.

The chaotic face, composed of black mist, said to Gao Wu, "Ignorant humans."

As Chaos spoke, his body, destroyed by the Heavenly Fate Sword, instantly reformed.

The spirit pierced by the Heavenly Fate Sword also emitted a low, resonant sound, establishing a certain resonance with the high-level martial arts spirit.

Even those at the highest level of martial arts, who had achieved a state of perfect harmony, were inevitably affected, their minds momentarily dazed... (End of Chapter)
