Starting with being handed over to the Imperial Concubine, building a family with a thousand-year hi

The illusory body uttered four words, and the surrounding airspace instantly froze. Within this domain, spatial teleportation was completely sealed off, and all living beings could only rely on their physical bodies to fly, unable to use any spatial magic to move, their mobility was extremely suppressed.

"Space freezes."

With the utterance of a single word, the entire space-time froze completely, and all things came to a standstill. Within this frozen void, anyone who had not comprehended the laws of the same origin would be suppressed by the immense spatial power, their bodies imprisoned and their laws locked, unable to move an inch, becoming nothing more than fish on a chopping block.

"Space collapse."

An overwhelming force of destruction suddenly erupted, causing a region of space to collapse, crumble, and annihilate inwards, with everything within it vanishing into nothingness along with the space itself. Legend has it that in ancient times, a powerful being of the Saint Realm could destroy an entire thriving planet with a single move—a terrifying display of power.

The illusory body explained in a deep voice: "The three high-level spatial laws correspond to the three realms of the God King. Comprehending spatial sealing allows one to enter the early stage of the God King realm; mastering spatial freezing allows one to remain in the middle stage of the God King realm; and cultivating spatial collapse allows one to reach the peak of the late stage of the God King realm."

These three types of top-tier laws are beyond Su Mu's current level of cultivation and understanding; he is currently unable to even touch upon them or comprehend them.

After demonstrating the application of the six spatial laws, the illusory clone said no more and began to guide Su Mu to start from the most basic spatial vibration, step by step, to immerse himself in the true meaning of the Great Dao of Space.

……

Just as Su Mu was in seclusion in the tower, focusing on comprehending the Dao, Tianyuan Star welcomed another Star Palace expert.

The newcomer was Zhao Lei, a human cultivator who had reached the late stage of the Great God Realm. He was powerful and had a solid foundation. He was one of the three geniuses that Song Pingchao had planned to recommend to Su Mu.

When Song Pingchao saw Zhao Lei, he was filled with doubt. Zhao Lei was stationed in an area far from Tianyuan Star, so there was no reason for him to visit suddenly.

Upon meeting, Song Pingchao immediately asked, "Zhao Lei, why have you suddenly come to Tianyuan Star? Has the God King given you an order?"

Zhao Lei sighed softly and nodded emphatically: "The God-King secretly investigated and learned that on the day the Horned Scale Clan was destroyed, the Three-Eyed Clan God-King left the Star Palace without permission, and his whereabouts are a mystery. The God-King noticed something amiss and was worried that the Three-Eyed Clan might be causing trouble in secret and harming young friend Su Mu. Therefore, he specifically ordered me to come and deliver a message, reminding you to act cautiously and, if possible, to ensure that young friend Su Mu returns to the Star Palace to report for duty as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Song Pingchao's brows furrowed deeply, his expression grave: "The Three-Eyed Clan had already sent someone to Tianyuan Star, carrying a decree from the God-King, ordering Su Mu to immediately go to Taidou Star to explain the situation. This matter is of great importance. I originally thought it was an order from the Human God-King, a decision made jointly by all three parties, but I never imagined that His Majesty the God-King was completely unaware of it?"

Zhao Lei looked completely bewildered and shook his head repeatedly: "Before I left, the God King never mentioned this matter, and no one in the Star Palace knew about the Three-Eyed Clan issuing the decree."

At that moment, a strong sense of foreboding surged into Song Pingchao's heart.

The decrees of the Star Palace God Kings are governed by strict rules. They must be discussed and issued jointly by the three God Kings, and there is absolutely no precedent for a single person to issue a decree privately.

He had previously been certain that the edict was compliant and traceable, which was why he felt comfortable letting Su Mu agree to the appointment. But now the truth has come to light: the Three-Eyed Clan God-King had actually issued the edict privately, and the departure time coincided perfectly with the destruction of the Horned Scale Clan, making the conspiracy obvious.

"Oops!"

Song Pingchao let out a low shout, instantly seeing through the entire conspiracy: "The Three-Eyed Clan God-King deliberately issued the decree without authorization, using it as an opportunity to lure Su Mu to Tai Dou Star, where he would ambush and kill him along the way! As long as Su Mu is eliminated halfway, no one will know that the decree was issued without his consent. This will not only eliminate a major threat but also completely cover up his own scheme, leaving no trace!"

Zhao Lei's expression changed drastically, his face filled with disbelief: "The Star Palace has a Heavenly Oath that strictly forbids the killing of fellow disciples! How dare the Three-Eyed Clan God-King, a high-ranking member of the Star Palace, openly violate this oath?"

Song Pingchao sneered, his eyes filled with coldness: "The Star Palace Oath binds Star Palace members to act personally. He only needs to secretly collude with powerful figures from beyond the realm and use others to kill, without lifting a finger himself, and he will not trigger the backlash of the oath."

"Furthermore, if he succeeds and silently kills Su Mu halfway through, there will be no way to prove anything. Even if the Human God-King wants to hold him accountable, he will have no evidence whatsoever, and the matter will ultimately be dropped!"

Having figured out all the details, Song Pingchao's expression became urgent. He immediately prepared to send a message: "No, this matter must be reported to the God King immediately. We absolutely cannot let Su Mu embark on that deadly path to Tai Dou Star again!"

Just as Song Pingchao was about to send the message, a clear, gentle voice, with a hint of a smile, suddenly rang out from behind him:

"Fellow Daoist Song, there is no need to alarm Senior God King about this matter."

Song Pingchao suddenly turned around and saw that the person speaking behind him was a wisp of Su Mu's natal soul that Su Mu had left behind in advance.

Before Su Mu entered the Creation Pagoda for seclusion, he had already anticipated that there might be sudden changes in the outside world. He specially left a split soul to guard the outside world and monitor the surrounding movements at all times. Once a crisis occurred, he could detect it and report it to his main body immediately.

Unexpectedly, this unexpected event was overheard by the wisp of soul, which allowed it to speak in time and stop Song Pingchao's attempt to send a message.

Su Mu's divided soul looked at Song Pingchao, whose face was solemn, and said calmly, "Fellow Daoist Song, rather than exposing the other party's scheme in advance and thwarting this plot, allowing them to lie in wait and strike again in the dark, it would be better to face the challenge head-on and enter the game with the flow. Only by taking the initiative to break the deadlock can we completely get rid of the passivity and solve the problem once and for all."

Song Pingchao, however, showed no sign of relaxation. His expression grew even more solemn as he earnestly advised, "Young friend Su, you must not underestimate your enemy! The Three-Eyed Clan God-King, knowing full well the deaths of three Celestial Gods, still insisted on attacking you, resorting to covert schemes and taking risks. This proves that the assassins he sent are far more powerful than those at the Celestial God realm!"

Faced with Song Pingchao's concerns, Su Mufenmu simply smiled faintly, his eyes concealing a sharp edge, full of confidence: "What I'm waiting for is the intervention of a God-King level expert."

"Killing a few gods is only a minor punishment and cannot deter the Three-Eyed Clan's ambitions. Only by defeating them head-on, or even killing a God-King, and thoroughly inflicting pain and fear upon them, can we achieve lasting peace."

"I'll see then whether the Three-Eyed Clan dares to provoke me again without the God-King's protection!"

hiss--!

Upon hearing this, Zhao Lei and Song Pingchao, who were standing nearby, were instantly shocked, both gasping in astonishment.

With the cultivation of a Great God Realm cultivator, he actually dared to plot a direct confrontation and kill a God King!

To the two of them, this idea was utterly absurd and insane. It was like a mere teddy bear trying to fight a Siberian tiger—a futile and suicidal act.

Seeing the two of them turn pale with shock and speechless, Su Mu shook his head helplessly.

In the eyes of these veteran cultivators, the God King is an invincible being standing at the pinnacle of the starry sea, an insurmountable barrier in their lifetime. This deeply ingrained belief leaves them without even the courage to resist.

Su Mu offered no further explanation and directly made the arrangements: "Fellow Daoist Song, I will travel alone with the Three-Eyed Clan envoy to Tai Dou Star this time. You only need to find an excuse to stay behind; their target is me, and they will not make things difficult for you."

Song Pingchao nodded subconsciously, but stopped abruptly just as he was about to speak.

He looked up at the composed and confident Su Mu's divided soul before him, and all sorts of past scenes instantly flooded his mind.

The initial amazement at meeting Su Mu, and Su Mu's subsequent repeated subversion of perceptions and creation of miracles, helping Song Qingmei to rapidly transform and defy fate... all these scenes are miracles that break the rules of common sense.

Perhaps this young friend Su can truly create miracles once again, possessing the trump card and strength to contend with the God King.

A bold idea instantly took root in Song Pingchao's heart and grew stronger.

If Su Mu can truly confront the God King head-on and escape unscathed, then becoming Su Mu's disciple and father would not be a disgrace, but rather the most correct choice of my life!

Once the decision was made, Song Pingchao's inner turmoil and hesitation vanished, and his gaze became even more resolute.

He gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Since you, young friend Su, have such courage and boldness, why should I, Song Pingchao, fear any risks! I will accompany you on this trip to Taidou Star, and I will go crazy with you this time!"

Zhao Lei, standing to the side, was completely dumbfounded, his face full of confusion.

He simply couldn't understand why Song Pingchao, who had lived for tens of thousands of years, was so calm, experienced, and meticulous, would act so impulsively today, willingly accompanying a Great God Realm cultivator to provoke a God King and participate in this mad act that was almost courting death.

Zhao Lei immediately prepared to take his leave, unwilling to get involved in this certain death crisis.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, Song Pingchao secretly reached out and tugged at him, repeatedly giving him cryptic glances, signaling him to agree for now and not to say anything more.

Zhao Lei instantly understood the signal, his heart filled with doubt, but he still suppressed the thought of taking his leave.
