Chapter 434: The Master of the Earthly Monument

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Hearing this from the Devil Lord, the white female Heliotrope Claudia held her breath and waited for the Devil Lord to show his power.

She secretly roused herself. Judging by the Devil Lord’s earlier words, he must be planning on devilizing the Chinese personnel in charge of the Spiritual Network.

This way, when the final element was complete, the Devil Lord’s great cause would finally begin. At that time, the whole world would turn upside-down. What Vigilante A, what Truth Department, what Upper Realm True Dragon, what divine beings? They would all be struck dumb.

The Buddha was the Devil, and the Devil was the Buddha. They were one and the same.

After a while, Zhi Nan closed his eyes and raised his right hand. Devilish energy appeared from his palm and disappeared into the void.

For a long time, she did not see any movements from the Devil Lord. She was very puzzled, but she did not dare to speak up and ask questions.

If it were her brother who did it instead, she would have asked immediately.

‘It’s a shame my dear brother’s situation is unknown. Did he manage to get Vigilante A’s trust or not? If he didn’t, then why hasn’t he come back already? He should come back and serve the Devil Lord, accumulate qualifications, and seek a Devil General position in the future.’

As a long time passed, she finally could not resist, and telepathically communicated to the quiet Black Robe at the side, “Brother Black Robe, has master acted already?”

Black Robe said in surprise, “You’re not blind. Didn’t you see master raise his right hand earlier?”

Claudia rolled her eyes. This black-robed monster was brain dead as usual. She could not be bothered to continue the conversation with him.

After some more time passed, the Devil Lord opened his eyes clicked his tongue and said, “As expected, China’s Nets Above Snares Below shouldn’t be underestimated. Although I can only detect a small part from here, I was able to conjure up an entire picture. Not bad, not bad.”

Claudia hurriedly said, “The Devil Lord has great powers. You must have seen the operational principles of China’s Nets Above Snares Below in just one glance.”

“Hm, probably so. However, there’s still an important unresolved issue.” Zhi Nan laughed lightly.

“What’s the problem? Your humble servant is willing to help,” Claudia said respectfully.

“I probed around and realized that their Nets Above Snares Below structure has star mansions above them and leylines below them. Nevertheless, the leylines are good. Vitality recovers in this world, and the leylines are reborn. However, the star mansions in the sky do not exist at all. I’ve explored this world several times in succession and found out that they’re a planetary universe. There’s no such thing as a real star mansion, unless it was something they fabricated…”

“This servant is stupid, and doesn’t quite understand?” Claudia was very confused. What was fabricated?

“In other words, there are no such thing as star mansions in this world. When people think too much about them, those ordinary planets become star mansions.” Zhi Nan was very patient and explained slowly.

“I see. When I was at the Upper Realm, I heard of mountains and rivers that have been worshipped for years. There weren’t any deities at first, but afterward, there were. Is it the same concept as the creation of the star mansions?” Claudia said in surprise.

“Hehe, you’re a little smart after all. That was a good guess.” For some reason, Zhi Nan’s tone turned cold at her words, but he did not get angry.

Hearing this, Claudia’s body instantly froze. Her heart clenched in uneasiness. She did not know what sensitive nerve she hit, but she warned herself to keep her mouth shut in the future and play the part of a quiet one.

‘Thankfully, this isn’t one of those irascible Devil Lords, but the Lord of Wisdom. Otherwise, judging by his tone earlier, I would have suffered greatly. I might even have been thrown into the abyss to suffer.’

The reason why Devils were Devils, was because of their irascible nature.

Thankfully, Zhi Nan was not a foolish Devil that only followed through his whims. He quickly calmed down and said, “It’s just that these so-called star mansions have only received effective worship for a short amount of time, so their power is still weak. If time goes by, perhaps a star mansion spirit might actually appear after thousands of years, provided the planet body that’s hosting them are still around.”

Claudia did not dare to respond anymore, so the main hall sank in silence.

“Alright, I’ll take care of this myself. All of you may return,” Seeing this, Zhi Nan lightly instructed.

The two people stepped out one by one, leaving Zhi Nan alone at the main hall.

He closed his eyes again, and a black energy burst out of his head and charged straight towards the clouds.

Before long, his body was suddenly overcome with convulsions. His face paled instantly as if he suffered heavy losses again.

“It’s a shame I didn’t manage to obtain Old Mo’s Infernal Realm that time, otherwise…” Zhi Nan shook his head.

Far away, in a certain nameless crater, beside the black lotus, Gu Buwei, who was currently enjoying his magma sauna, looked up again.

He saw a black energy rise to the sky somewhere roughly to the east.

He observed carefully and was shocked. “That place is the seven mansions of the Azure Dragon. That devil, what is he planning to do?”

He was very knowledgeable about Earth’s science, and knew that the star mansions in the sky were all very far away from the actual stars. They were easily hundreds of light-years away and were beyond the reach of humans.

However, that was not necessarily the case for those big Upper Realm demons and devils. As a Devil Lord once said, they had a Space Diversion technique that ignored these kinds of distances. The only problem was whether they could afford to consume their resources.

Gu Buwei could not think of an answer, so he continued to enjoy his magma sauna.

At this time, he heard a flattering voice.

“King Lie Huo, I’ve observed this volcano for a long time. In this crater, there’s rare blazing magma. It’s definitely fresh, freshly erupting from the ground. No one has touched it before.”

“Very good, if I confirm that there’s nothing wrong, I’ll let you be a grand secretary after the alliance is set up, and guarantee your future prosperity,” another slightly stern voice said.

Gu Buwei frowned lightly and raised his head to look at the clouds. Then, he raised his brows, “Hehe, looks like the true Master of the Earthly Monument has arrived. Only this volcanic devil rat would be able to make this Earthly Monument mature…”

‘Hmph, that’s wrong. The Venerable One seemed to have made a reservation already,’ Gu Buwei suddenly thought of something and startled.

‘That’s not a good idea. Do I really have to go against heaven?’

‘I worked so hard to earn some Heavenly Merit Points, but they’re about to go up in smoke.’

‘The Heavenly Axiom is stingy. You do ten deeds, but only gain one point. You make one mistake, but ten points get deducted…’

While Gu Buwei was hesitating, a dark-faced Western man dressed in a suit appeared above the volcanic crater, looking down.

He was followed by a skinny, dry man who wore a look of flattery.

Gu Buwei glanced up at the two men but focused his attention on the dark-skinned man.

“Who are you? Oh, there’s still a devil lotus here, is this your doing?” the volcanic devil rat ‘Lie Huo’ glanced down and said in surprise.

“Hehe, I’m Gu Buwei from the Azure Mountain. Are you the devil rats Demon King, Lie Huo?” Gu Buwei said lightly.

“You know me? Of course, I’ve just gotten famous from the Stairway tournament, and obtained first place for the Demons, it would be stranger if you didn’t know who I was.” Lie Huo was surprised at first, but then said proudly.

It was as if he did not know about Gu Buwei’s reputation at all. However, this was not too strange, since Gu Buwei never moved outside China. Only a few high-end cultivators in China knew about him.

“First place for the Demons in the Stairway tournament? I see, no wonder the Demon King would have this lucky chance.” Gu Buwei was astonished.

‘It makes sense now. The reason why I wasn’t able to sense the Earthly Monument’s Master before was because he hadn’t been chosen by the Heavenly Axiom yet.”

The Heavenly Axiom only made him the Earthly Monument’s Master after the Stairway, as an outstanding figure of the Demon clan. At this point, it was naturally this Lie Huo.

After all, they could be said to be the race with the second highest potential on Earth.

In a sense, men were the ‘demons’ of the era of science and technology. Who would have imaged that a group of ignorant apes would evolve wisdom in just a few million years? Who would have thought that they would leave their competitors in the dust, dominate the Earth, and look towards the universe?

In ancient times, there seemed to be brief Vitality eras as well, so in a way, all the humans were from that time…

Gu Buwei stopped his thoughts and lightly said, “What’s the Demon King doing here?”

“Oh, I want to have a magma sauna here. You, make way for me.” Lie Hong spoke from the above crater while swaggering down.

Gu Buwei did not respond, but he did not stand up either. He still stood by the crater, beside the black lotus.

When Lie Huo descended the crater and approached the magma, he suddenly stopped when he neared Gu Buwei. A look of shock flashed past his face, as if he had been stopped by someone.

“My apologies, my apologies, I overstepped just now. Sir, can I do anything for you?”

He was so respectful and courteous that the boy beside him looked at him in confusion. However, he remained silent.

Lackeys were not blind, and this one had quite good eyes. With just one look at Gu Buwei’s behavior, he knew that there was no place for a small thing like him to speak up.

Gu Buwei finally stood up. He stood to the side and said lightly, “This place doesn’t belong to me. You can go in if you please, but that’ll depend on whether this black lotus allows you to enter or not.”

“Hehe, thank you, Sir,” Lie Huo cupped his hands in gratitude and glanced at the black lotus before speaking in dissatisfaction, “Isn’t it just a black lotus? It might cause trouble for regular demons, but it’ll not pose a threat to us Devil Rats of the demon clan.”

After he finished speaking, the volcanic devil rat Lie Huo suddenly jolted. Bouts of black energy hovered outside his body, and his already dark body became even darker. It was like he had become black carbon

Then, he entered the magma, completely ignoring the black lotus.

As for the black lotus, it did not stop him in his tracks, and simply allowed him to freely step into the hot magma.

“This feels great. It really is fresh magma. It’s not contaminated at all,” Lie Huo laid in the magma pool and said in satisfaction.

“The King is indeed mighty,” The lackey stood outside the magma with a face eager to please.

Gu Buwei kept silent and just stared at Lie Huo taking a magma bath. He wanted to see exactly what natural traits he had to let the Earthly Monument mature.
