Chapter 666 - 660: Grand Elder of the Void Race
Within the endless void.
In an abandoned palace, the Void Race temporarily resides here.
In the void, there exist countless ancient palaces, even city ruins.
The people of the Void Race also do not know how these abandoned palaces and cities came to be.
Perhaps, these palace and city ruins appeared together with the void itself.
In any case, over the years, as the Void Race flees, encountering palace and city ruins along the way.
They will enter these palace and city ruins to rest temporarily.
According to their experience, the ruins of palaces and cities, theoretically, are safer than other places.
"Demon Lord, Buddha, have they gone mad?"
"They have dispatched all their disciples to hunt us down."
"Deliberately creating opportunities for us to duplicate them, then hunting and devouring us to enhance their power."
"They are executing a fishing enforcement tactic." A member of the Void Race, who resembled Demon King Bosun, said indignantly.
At this moment, a nearby Void Race member, looking like a seven or eight-year-old Daoist child, said: "I’ve heard that Demon Lord and Buddha suffered losses in the world and bet on the ’World Honored,’ whose ascension to Tier One failed."
"All their investments in this World Honored went down the drain, not to mention, reportedly, Buddha’s four great disciples were annihilated entirely, and under Demon Lord, only Indra remains among his four great demon kings."
"All the formidable disciples under Demon Lord and Buddha perished, naturally leading them to hunt us to cultivate and enhance other disciples’ power."
Hearing the words of the young Daoist child, the Void Race member who looked similar to Demon King Bosun was initially stunned, then burst into laughter: "What, Demon King Bosun is dead!"
"With Demon King Bosun dead, that means I am the only one in existence."
"From today onwards, I am Demon King Bosun!"
"However, I am the Demon King Bosun of our Void Race."
For the members of the Void Race, as long as the original they duplicated still exists, they are always counterfeit.
But if the original has perished and vanished.
Then they transform from counterfeit to authentic.
Seeing the Void Race member, who bore some resemblance to Demon King Bosun, wildly elated, the nearby Void Race member, resembling a young Daoist child, enviously said: "Ah!"
"So envious of you!"
"Unfortunately, Wa Huang didn’t send anyone this time. If Wa Huang’s people had come, I would have had a chance to kill the original and replace them."
The young Daoist child’s words had just fallen, when another Void Race envoy resembling Chishiniu interjected: "You’ve only duplicated three-tenths of Nato, if he truly came, would you kill him, or would he kill you?"
"Besides, with Demon Lord and Buddha joining forces, we’re struggling to hold on and can only flee hastily."
"If Wa Huang joined as well, then we might truly face annihilation."
"Luckily, Demon Lord and Buddha suffered losses in the world, while Wa Huang gained some advantage; now the three cannot unite."
The Void Race member resembling a young Daoist child was, in fact, a duplicate of Wa Huang’s Daoist child, Nato.
The Void Race temporarily rests here, conserving strength, preparing for the pursuit of another day.
A large number of the Void Race are cramped here, gathering in groups of three or five, whispering about something.
At this moment, the Void Race envoy returned from Lin Yuan, carrying the guiding treasure, approaching his tribe.
Since he had the capability to travel between heaven and earth, naturally, he could find his tribe in the vast, boundless void.
As nomads within the void, finding their tribe is, indeed, an innate skill.
The Void Race envoy and Lin Yuan formed an alliance, his heart filled with joy.
Within the void, he was like a marathon runner making a final sprint, exerting all his energy.
Upon the Void Race envoy finding his tribe, most people were already asleep.
In the camp, only a few patrolling members remained.
"Quick, take me to see the Grand Elder, immediately!" the Void Race envoy urged the guards.
The ordinary guards of the Void Race certainly recognized their envoy.
Seeing the envoy returning in haste, they dared not delay, promptly leading him to the Grand Elder.
At this time, in a palatial ruin with no roof, an elderly man with white hair and white beard sat cross-legged, meditating.
Undoubtedly, this white-bearded older man meditating was the Grand Elder of the Void Race.
Upon closer inspection, the Void Race Grand Elder bore some resemblance to Yang Jing in the details.
Yang Jing was the reincarnate body of the Daoist Ancestor, while the Void Race Grand Elder had copied some of the Daoist Ancestor’s appearance and abilities.
Therefore, there was some resemblance.
"Grand Elder, I am back!" the Void Race envoy approached and spoke softly.
The Void Race envoy knew that the Grand Elder adhered to the natural order, conducting matters at a leisurely pace.
When speaking to him, the voice cannot be too loud and should be as soft as possible.
After the Void Race envoy spoke, it took about two minutes before the Grand Elder’s voice finally sounded: "How did the matter go?"
After waiting for two minutes for a reply, this leisurely-paced response was indeed somewhat slow.
The Grand Elder responded slowly, whereas the Void Race envoy’s reply was fast!
Having accomplished a significant task, now anxious to claim credit, he could not afford to be slow.
"It’s done, the matter is accomplished!" The Void Race envoy said excitedly.
"It’s done..."
"Done, good news, good news indeed!"
"Our Void Race will finally have the power to fight back!" The Grand Elder’s voice quickened with excitement.
Then, the Void Race Grand Elder continued: "Tell me the details without omission."
The Void Race envoy dared not conceal and promptly narrated the sequence of events.
After listening to the Void Race envoy’s account, the Void Race Grand Elder leisurely said: "Thirty-fold reward, it’s a bit much!"
"This Yin Celestial Son has a much bigger appetite than the former Human Emperor, also knows how to demand exorbitant terms."
Upon hearing this, the Void Race envoy’s face darkened, thinking surely the Grand Elder wasn’t finding fault with the reward he gave?
Thinking along these lines, the Void Race envoy persuaded: "Grand Elder, those Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are useless to us, given away as they are, they’re gone!"
At this moment, the Void Race Grand Elder shifted the tone: "Given away they are! With Demon Lord, Buddha’s armies constantly at our heels, we can’t afford delay!"
"As long as we can use the Power of Heaven and Earth to defeat Demon Lord, Buddha, Wa Huang, the void belongs to us."
