Heaven Slaying Blade
Chapter 1965 - 1948: Engaging Each Other
"Alright, let's begin the handover." From the chariot came Chu Mo's calm voice.
"This is too much!" The Chen Clan elder of the Divine Clan finally got angry, shouted directly, and then loudly rebuked, "Chu Mo, what do you think you are? Do you really think you are the Heavenly Emperor? The most esteemed person in the world? Don't you even have the strength to get off the chariot?"
The Lan Clan elder of the Divine Clan also said indifferently, "There's no need to form this alliance. We should just go back and prepare for war."
"I think that's possible."
This sentence came from the chariot.
Such a sentence didn't cause the elders of the Chen Clan and Lan Clan of the Divine Clan to continue their rage. Instead, they calmed down strangely.
The Chen Clan elder of the Divine Clan said coldly, "What do you mean?"
"What do you mean is exactly what I mean." From the chariot came Chu Mo's calm voice: "If it weren't for the sincerity shown by the Three Great Divine Clans over these years, why would I want to cooperate with you? Couldn't I cooperate with the Rune Life and Beast Clan instead? I always thought your sincerity was the greatest, but I didn't expect you to be so reluctant. Then please go back, I'm very busy!"
Dominant!
At this moment, the dominance shown by Chu Mo made the people on the side of the Three Great Divine Clans grit their teeth with hatred, but there was a chill in their hearts.
They suddenly thought, indeed, they had always ignored the Rune Life and Beast Clan. Although they hadn't obtained evidence of contact from their side, similarly, the Rune Life and Beast Clan didn't know about what they were doing either!
Although they could guess, there really was no evidence!
The big figures on the side of the Three Great Divine Clans finally calmed down. The Chen Clan elder of the Divine Clan even cast a gentle glance at Chen Fan and said, "You did well!"
Chen Fan had an inexplicable expression, as if he didn't understand what he did well.
At this moment, Chu Mo in the chariot directly said, "He praised you for not revealing their unwillingness to cooperate with us, Chen Fan, you're not honest!"
"I... I..." Chen Fan had a wronged expression.
The Chen Clan elder of the Divine Clan said, "Don't be afraid of him, in the future, I'll cover you!"
Chen Fan showed gratitude on his face, but inside, he sneered: You'll cover me? Even if you cover me, I wouldn't even know how I died!
"Alright, let's begin, bring the items over." From the chariot, Chu Mo said blandly.
The elder of the Chen Clan of the Divine Clan said, "Come out! If you don't come out, how do I know if you're real or not?"
"You suspect me?"
From the chariot, suddenly emitted a terrifying aura, an aura like a sharp sword!
Directly directed at the elder of the Chen Clan of the Divine Clan.
"How dare you!" The elder of the Chen Clan of the Divine Clan shouted, directly making a move.
In the void, there was a sudden loud explosion!
Subsequently, the elder of the Chen Clan of the Divine Clan took many steps back repeatedly, his old face flushed, eyes showing a trace of incredulity.
He couldn't believe that the opponent could force him back with just a wisp of aura, it was simply unbelievable.
But deep inside, he developed a sense of vigilance: This Heavenly Emperor from the lower realm is truly not that weak...
No matter how many rumors there were before, saying Heavenly Emperor Chu was extremely powerful, these proud figures were unwilling to accept it. But at this moment, he finally understood a little.
However, just then, from the chariot came Chu Mo's rebuke: "What do you think you are? Dare to speak to me like this?"
The elder of the Chen Clan of the Divine Clan was directly dumbfound, his eyes even exhibited a trace of bewilderment, then he confirmed it was directed at him. He couldn't believe it as he said, "Are you talking to me?"
Within the Three Great Divine Clans, his status was only second to the clan leader and the senior elder. He's truly a high-rank deity! He lived through ten thousand ages and passed through the Immeasurable Tribulations. Even the clan leaders of the three clans, such top-level beings, never spoke to him in such a tone.
So, at this moment, the elder of the Chen Clan of the Divine Clan even forgot to be angry!
"Then who's talking to?" From the chariot, Chu Mo's reproachful voice continued: "When the perfect divine world structure is completed, I'll be one of the rulers! And you... what do you consider yourself? Calling me the Heavenly Emperor of the lower realm, won't my standing surpass yours in the future?"
The elder of the Chen Clan of the Divine Clan was dumbfounded on the spot, and the other divine clan members were also all stunned.
Chen Fan and Lan Xiao both had twitching corners of their mouths. If they didn't know what Chu Mo intended to do, they would have been completely confused by him.
As expected of the Heavenly Emperor! His acting was far superior to those top stars on the Rune Signal Board!
Chen Fan and Lan Xiao both admired Chu Mo to the point of prostration.
The elder of the Chen Clan of the Divine Clan held his mouth open, wanting to say: What do you think of yourself? Do you really think you can become one of the rulers of the divine world in the future?
But he wasn't foolish enough to this extent, such words he couldn't say!
Because once said, the impact would be too great!
Today, it seems certain that this covenant cannot be established.
In reality, this group of the Divine Clan doesn't truly wish for a war either. Resolving this major hassle without bloodshed would, for them, also maximize benefits. They merely find it unpleasant that, as high-ranking figures of a top Divine Clan, they need to negotiate with a group of lower realm beings.
Moreover, these beings from the lower realm are not only boorish and rude, but actually have the audacity to act arrogantly—it is completely overbearing!
Do you not recognize your own status and position? Do you not understand your situation?
To the great figures among the Three Great Divine Clans, the cards seemed favorable in their hands but were ruinously played by the heads of the Three Clans and Senior Elder Lan!
The power of the Three Great Divine Clans could clearly crush the entire lower realm, yet during the negotiations, they continually remain at a disadvantage.
This feeling fills their hearts with unbearable frustration.
Thus, they have almost never considered what the scene would be like if this covenant were fully established and Chu Mo indeed became one of the dominators of the Divine Realm.
At least at the beginning of the Divine Realm's construction, they truly cannot prevent Chu Mo from taking the position of dominator!
Being a dominator naturally makes one far more noble than they are!
Thus, Chu Mo's reprimand rendered the elders of the Chen Clan's Divine Clan entirely speechless.
At this point, it was Chen Fan who stepped forward, smiling as he said, "Honored seniors, let us not get angry. Isn't this a good thing? Everyone calm down; let us proceed as we should. Once today's issues are resolved, peace can reign from now on. Isn't that better?"
The elder of the Chen Clan's Divine Clan took a deep breath and spoke in a deep voice, "Even though Heavenly Emperor Chu will become one of the dominators in the future, for now, he still isn't, right? Is it not inappropriate for you to remain absent during this covenant?"
His tone ultimately softened because if the conflict were to escalate further, today would truly end in discord.
Such a result is something the important figures of the Divine Clan cannot bear. They now just wish to do one thing, which is to end it quickly and leave!
He no longer wants to remain here, enduring this humiliation!
Only at this moment did a person emerge slowly from that ancient chariot.
His pressure was overwhelmingly strong, emitting immeasurable light and illuminating the myriad beings here.
This power, frankly speaking, was something the elder of the Chen Clan's Divine Clan was encountering for the first time. A touch of jealousy involuntarily arose within him. Unexpectedly, such a presence could be found in a lower realm's Heavenly Emperor, acclaimed by all these beings.
Yet, what of it? The Heavenly Emperor whom you worship ultimately betrays you!
With this thought, the elder of the Chen Clan's Divine Clan found the anger within his heart strangely dissipating.
Afterward, he displayed a faint smile on his face and said, "Very well, now, let us have Heavenly Emperor Chu swear. This is the oath!"
As he spoke, the elder of the Chen Clan's Divine Clan directly summoned a decree.
The decree unfolded in the void, revealing the incantations upon it. It was the most severe curse in the entire Divine Realm. If violated, any existence would undoubtedly suffer calamity instantly.
Chu Mo glanced at the decree and immediately said, "Bring forth the items first."
"We request Heavenly Emperor Chu to swear first," the elder of the Chen Clan's Divine Clan responded calmly.
"If I swear and you don't provide the items, what then?" Chu Mo's voice was composed within the radiance.
The elder of the Chen Clan's Divine Clan replied coldly, "Our Divine Clan never engages in treacherous and untrustworthy conduct!"
"Haha." Chu Mo laughed within the light, "Our Human Clan also never engages in such conduct."
"You..." The elder of the Chen Clan's Divine Clan was so infuriated he nearly coughed up blood, thinking to himself, does anyone not know about your Human Clan? We are also part of the Human Clan... Do we not understand ourselves? Not engaging in betrayal and treachery? Then what are you doing now?
With the situation about to erupt once more, the elder of the Du Clan's Divine Clan said, "How about this, we hand the resources directly over to Chen Fan and Lan Xiao. Would that suffice?"
Chu Mo shook his head, "I do not trust them. They are your people, not mine!"
"Have you not already gained control over their lives and deaths?" the elder of the Du Clan's Divine Clan continued, "If they dare defy you, you simply kill them!"
Lan Xiao and Chen Fan silently cursed that elder of the Du Clan's Divine Clan: Why not kill you instead?
Nonetheless, neither of them raised any objections; instead, a bolder idea formed. Since it is betrayal, might as well betray thoroughly.
At this moment, however, Chu Mo shook his head and said, "No, these two youngsters have never revealed any of your information to me all these years. I do not trust them. You should hand over the resources, place them in the void between us, and I will swear. Will that suffice now?"
Although the elders of the Chen Clan's Divine Clan still found it somewhat unreliable, having just witnessed Chu Mo's formidable strength, the confidence in overwhelming Chu Mo had vanished.
Yet, under the current situation, this appeared to be the best course of action, as there was no better alternative.
Over there, Chen Fan and Lan Xiao felt deeply moved. They understood that Chu Mo still intended to shoulder this responsibility himself.
However, even the master should not underestimate us!
Chen Fan directly said, "How about this, the items are placed with me, and Lan Xiao and I stand in the middle."
