Throne of Gods: Divine thunder descends, and the Qilin descends upon the world!

Chapter 155 Seclusion in the Mountains? No! It's all a game of strategy!
"Brother, are you looking for me?"

The Star Demon God Vasak hurried into the hall.

"Third brother, take a look at this first." Fengxiu handed over the letter in his hand.

Vasak took the paper, his eyes quickly scanning the surface, and his expression turned serious.

"No wonder... the Great Prophecy revealed such a result. Humanity's foundation can indeed be traced back six thousand years!"

"Why did you summon me, elder brother?" he asked, looking up, already having a vague premonition.

Feng Xiu remained silent for a moment before finally speaking: "Although I am extremely reluctant to let you suffer the backlash again... but Third Brother, I need you to cast the Great Prophecy spell once more."

His voice was deep and resolute: "This time, we must pinpoint Austin Griffin's current location. At the same time, we must determine the exact resting place of those 'eternal heroes'... and how much longer they can hold out."

Upon hearing this, Vasak's eyes gleamed with a sharp light. Without the slightest hesitation, he solemnly replied, "I understand, elder brother!"

As soon as he finished speaking, orange-red light surged from his body, and a phantom-like and enormous Star Demon Pillar slowly condensed behind him.

Ancient and obscure incantations flowed rapidly from his lips, and the entire Demon Heart Palace seemed to be enveloped in a mysterious energy field.

About fifteen minutes later, Vasak's face was so pale that it was completely bloodless, but his starry eyes shone with a terrifying brightness, as if burning with all his life force.

As the last syllable merged into nothingness, the orange-red light enveloping him suddenly intensified to its peak.

A beam of pure starlight suddenly pierced through the void, crashing down and completely enveloping him.

A moment later, the phantom of the Star Demon Pillar gradually dissipated, and the dazzling light around it receded like a tide.

Vasak seemed to have all his support removed; his body went limp and he collapsed to the ground, his breath weak, as if he had exhausted even the strength to lift a finger.

"Third brother!" Agares reacted quickly, stepping forward and reaching out to support his almost limp body.

A dark glint flashed in Feng Xiu's eyes. Without hesitation, he raised his hand, and a stream of pure dark purple energy surged from his fingertips, quickly entering Vasak's body.

Supported by this power, Vasak's terrifying paleness faded slightly, and his breathing became a little more stable.

"Thank you, brother." His voice was still weak, but much better than before.

"It's what I should do. What was the outcome of the prophecy?" Feng Xiu's tone was calm, but his gaze was fixed on Vasak.

Vasak took a deep breath, composed himself, and then spoke with difficulty: "Just as...the letter said, Austin Griffin is no longer in the Holy City. At present...it is hidden in a mountain range six hundred miles outside the Dragon Pass."

"However, something is strange. Austin Griffin seems to have encountered some problem. His aura is mixed with other powers."

He paused, gathering his last remaining strength, and continued, "As for those eternal heroes... I cannot pinpoint their exact resting place, but I am certain they are also hidden near the Dragon Pass. Moreover... as the previous prophecy and this letter indicate, their souls have been eroded by the long years, decaying and fading away... It's only a matter of time, and that time will likely be ten years..."

He raised his eyes, his gaze regaining its usual depth and decisiveness, and ordered in a deep voice: "Second brother, send a message to Moonbeam. Tell him that Austin Griffin is currently hiding in the mountains six hundred miles outside Dragon Pass, and also be careful that Austin Griffin may acquire new power."

He paused briefly, then added, "Furthermore, he was ordered to secretly begin gradually bringing the authority of the Temple Alliance under his control."

“Yes, brother!” Agares replied.

...Six hundred miles outside Yulong Pass, in the deep mountains.

Cai'er looked at Yuehui, who was building the wooden house with his own hands, with a puzzled look on his face: "Yuehui, are we really okay to just stay here?"

“Hmm.” Yuehui did not stop what she was doing, but her tone was very confident. “The message I sent back was nine parts true and one part false, enough to fool the eye. Given Fengxiu’s suspicious and cautious nature, she will definitely make Vasak use the Great Prophecy to verify it.”

"Moreover, he will definitely incorporate the existence of the 'power of divine retribution' into the core of the prophecy. Now, this power is no longer in Haoyue, but in me."

“As long as we are far from the Holy City when Vasak casts the spell, all the messages I send back will be ‘fulfilled’ in the prophecy. At that time, what Fengxiu will see will be the ‘facts’ he least wants to see but has no choice but to believe.”

The sharp curve of Yuehui's lips had not yet faded, and her eyes gleamed with the light of a successful scheme.

“He can’t afford to gamble. The demons… can’t afford to lose even more.” He repeated, his tone cold and certain. “So, most likely, he will choose the safest way—order me to ‘find’ Austin Griffin’s whereabouts.”

Cai'er nodded as if she understood, then asked, "What about the low probability?"

“A low probability?” Moonlight chuckled, but the smile didn’t reach his eyes. “That means Fengxiu is determined to kill any possibility at all costs, directly mobilize the demon army, and forcibly sweep everything away, giving Austin Griffin no time to grow.”

“So,” he patted the newly erected wooden pillar beside him, “that’s why we’re coming here, to the mountains near Yulong Pass.”

"Yulong Pass...can it withstand the Demon Emperor?" Cai'er's tone was filled with disbelief. In her mind, the Demon Emperor's power was almost insurmountable.

“Of course, it’s not enough to rely solely on passes.” Yuehui shook her head, but then changed the subject, lowering her voice slightly but making it more weighty, “But it can make the Demon God Emperor wary.”

"Beneath the Knight's Sacred Mountain of Yulong Pass lie sixty-three powerful warriors who possessed domains. And within the Knight's Temple inside the pass, there is an enshrined supreme artifact that even the first Demon God Emperor hesitated to approach—the Throne of the God of Eternity and Creation!"

"With these two trump cards, even the current Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu has to carefully consider the consequences. The price of a direct attack... can his people truly afford it!"

"So, we're just going to stay here forever?"

Cai'er looked at the lush yet isolated mountains and forests around her. Although the scenery was serene, the shadow of a powerful enemy still hung over her head, making it difficult for her to feel completely at ease.

"Of course not." Yuehui chuckled softly, reaching out to naturally and affectionately wrap her arm around Cai'er's waist, pulling her closer.

"If you think about it carefully, during wartime, although there are still wandering merchants who risk crossing between the two worlds, they will definitely face many difficulties and their speed will be greatly reduced."

"Messages take anywhere from half a month to a month to be delivered. So, we only need to stay here for half a month to a month."

He looked down at the person in his arms, his eyes filled with a hint of mockery and a rare sense of ease:

"Consider this period a vacation that fate has stolen from us. And... no one will disturb us."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly used his strength to lift Cai'er up in his arms.

"Oh! What... what are you doing all of a sudden?" Cai'er was caught off guard and instinctively exclaimed softly, wrapping her arms around his neck.

Yuehui laughed loudly, her voice carrying an undisguised mischievousness and ambiguity:

"With the trees as my bed and the flowing clouds as my blanket, my wife says... what do I, my husband, wish to do?"
