The Charm of Soul Pets (WN)

Dragon Maiden looked at Human Mother confusedly.

Currently, those era’s strongest were furiously ramming the barriers. Once they broke through, they would definitely attack Heaven Palace.

If it was not them, who else?

This was clearly an excuse made by those era’s strongest as they intended to rebel.

They wanted a longer lifespan and greater power!

These creatures which had transcended the law of living things had reached their current level by stepping over countless corpses. Their greed and desires could not be satisfied. They definitely wanted to destroy Heaven Palace and become the dominator of the world themselves.

Human Mother did not say anything and focused on Chu Mu instead.

“Can you find Yu Suo?” asked Human Mother.

Chu Mu shook his head, “She can’t wait to see Heaven Palace destroyed.”

Human Mother became silent.

Now, in the field of diagram deployment, only Yu Suo could surpass the current Totem Divine Maiden. Human Mother could return the Totem Divine Maiden’s inheritance to Yu Suo......

However, if this power was given to Yu Suo, what she might do could be even more terrifying than the current Totem Divine Maiden.

“Human Mother, why do you want that traitor back? She stole Crimson Sol energy......” Dragon Maiden was getting more confused.

Chu Mu took a glance at Dragon Maiden and wondered just why this woman was so stupid.

“You still don’t understand?” said Chu Mu coldly.

“Understand what?” asked Dragon Maiden.

“It’s not the era’s strongest that want to destroy Heaven Palace, but yourselves,” said Chu Mu.

“Nonsense. We don’t have traitors like Yu Suo!” said Dragon Maiden angrily as she pointed at Chu Mu.

“Then let me ask you, who brought those era’s strongest to the execution grounds?” asked Chu Mu.

Dragon Maiden opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she did not know how to rebuke Chu Mu.

“Then, who possesses the ability to activate the barriers on those execution grounds? Those barriers can only be activated by the executive members of Totem Palace. Furthermore, do you think those era’s strongest are foolish enough to trap themselves inside in order to find an excuse to attack Heaven Palace??” continued Chu Mu.

Chu Mu’s knowledge about Heaven Palace was far more than those era’s strongest. Through Yu Suo’s memory, he even knew about Dragon Maiden, Human Mother and the other two palaces to some extent. At the start, when Wang Jiang was taking them to the place where Yu Qie was executed, Chu Mu already felt something wrong. Normally, shouldn’t all era’s strongest be gathered in Wheel Palace?

The barriers that trapped all those era’s strongest followed immediately afterwards confirmed Chu Mu’s doubt!

This Heaven Palace seemed strict and secure, but it had already been infested by something!

They used the identity of Heaven Palace and purposely created conflict between Heaven Palace and era’s strongest.

Once both sides clashed, all they had to do would be to clean up Heaven Palace and those era’s strongest in the end. Then, a new Heaven Palace would be born!

Heaven Palace had existed for far too long. However, who could be sure that Heaven Palace never changed its master?

At least, in the current ten thousand year wheel, many problems and shortcomings of Heaven Palace that had been hidden for so many years started to frequently appear. The potential threats set off at the same time. This was signifying the downfall of Heaven Palace.

As for the identity of the mastermind, it was easy to guess.

In the human world, those monsters were roaming around freely. In Heaven Palace, those monsters could threaten the existence of Heaven Palace. They even forced Heaven Palace to offer living humans to them as food every year.

Those monsters had plundered many things unknowingly!

Hearing Chu Mu’s words, Dragon Maiden was stunned and was overwhelmed by disbelief.

Heaven City was still the same Heaven City, protected by countless Heaven Palace guards. They did not let Heaven Demons take a step closer to the city. Heaven Palace was also heavily guarded and watched over by the three palaces. To Dragon Maiden, Heaven Palace should be an impregnable existence, why did it suddenly become so fragile?

“Corruption...... By making use of the originally pure and desireless human heart, they corrupted them and then corrupted the entire Heaven Palace,” said Human Mother.

“Human Mother, then what should I do? Are we going to watch these era’s strongest destroy Heaven Palace? Then watch those devils step over our corpses??” asked Dragon Maiden anxiously.

Human Mother did not speak and looked at Chu Mu instead.

Dragon Maiden realized something and hurriedly clung onto Chu Mu, “You are one of the era’s strongest. You can tell them that this is Heaven Demon’s conspiracy and ask them to stop attacking Heaven Palace......”

Human Mother shook her head and said, “It’s useless. If he tells them that we have already been corrupted by Heaven Demons, those era’s strongest will unhesitantly stand on the side of Heaven Demons. Our Heaven Palace had built up countless grudges with those past era’s strongest. They would rather ally with those devils than believe us. Although we sincerely invited them this time......”

Chu Mu nodded.

Powerful existences like Seven Sins Fox and White Ocean God had already been suppressed and killed by Heaven Palace. Furthermore, from the tone of Yellow Spring Emperor and Hades Fox God, they did not harbor any goodwill towards Heaven Palace, and even seemed to be pressured by Heaven Palace instead.

In that case, no matter what explanation Heaven Palace gave, the era’s strongest would fight against Heaven Palace.

Unless Heaven Palace could really bring out the strength to overwhelm all era’s strongest......

Unfortunately, Heaven Palace did not have such strength. Many powerful individuals in Heaven Palace had been corrupted.

“Then what should we do? Human Mother, please tell me what I can do. I won’t let Heaven Palace be invaded by those monsters, never!” said Dragon Maiden furiously.

“If Heaven Demons obtain victory in this conspiracy, the human world will become their hunting ground, because they have been feeding on humans. So, are you choosing to stand on our side now?” asked Human Mother as she looked at Chu Mu.

“Not exactly standing on your side,” said Chu Mu.

Heaven Demon must be exterminated. Otherwise, those monsters roaming in human territory would be endless. Eventually, they would invade all the way to Northern Continent where New Moon Land’s people were at.

As for Heaven Palace, Chu Mu also did not harbor any goodwill. They had been ruling over the world with a superior-like attitude. Their existence was not much different from Heaven Demons. Because if they wanted, they could cover Crimson Sol all the time and turn the human world into hell.

“Do you know why Heaven Palace exists?” asked Human Mother.

“Manage all living beings.”

“No, we are protecting,” said Human Mother.

“Protecting? You covered Crimson Sol in order to live longer, and even turned the living world into hell. This is called protecting?” Chu Mu found it funny.

The words of rulers were always grandiose.

Without them, the world would have been better.

“I know you understood many things from Yu Suo. However, there’s one thing Yu Suo does not know. I cannot tell you this matter. Regardless of what, Heaven Palace cannot be destroyed. I need your help,” said Human Mother with a various serious expression.

Now, Human Mother turned into Ye Qingzi’s appearance again, even her gaze seemed like Ye Qingzi.

This felt as if Ye Qingzi was pleading him.

Chu Mu shook his head and erased this hallucination from his head.

Human Mother saw Chu Mu’s action and spoke, “If you see me as the most important person in your heart, then it means you also have many things you want to protect. Just like how you believe in her, please believe in me. Heaven Palace must not be destroyed.”

“Give me a reason,” said Chu Mu.

Chu Mu was also in a difficult dilemma. He must not let Heaven Demons become the ruler of the world, but he also could not let Heaven Palace stay like supreme beings.

“Dragon Maiden, go outside and wait,” said Human Mother.

Dragon Maiden wanted to say something, but after seeing Human Mother’s gaze, she had to leave.

......

Dragon Maiden flew back to Pavilion of Myriad Pavilions.

She could not understand why Human Mother was requesting an outsider to help. His strength was only on par with other era’s strongest. Just him alone might not be able to change the current situation.

More importantly, Human Mother held a secret even Totem Divine Maiden did not know. How could she tell such a secret to a person who did not even make a clear stand? She even told a loyal member of Heaven Palace like her to leave.

......

Soon, Chu Mu also flew to Pavilion of Myriad Pavilions.

Dragon Maiden noticed Chu Mu’s expression clearly changed.

“Follow me,” Chu Mu told Dragon Maiden.

Dragon Maiden felt a little frustrated. How could this guy use a commanding tone to talk to her?

“I need to protect here,” said Dragon Maiden.

“Human Mother’s intention,” said Chu Mu.

Dragon Maiden flew away while feeling confused. Soon, she received Human Mother’s mental voice.

“Why? Human Mother, I can’t understand your decision. Why are you making me listen to an outsider!?” asked Dragon Maiden.

“Don’t ask and do as he says, if you still wish to save Heaven Palace,” said Human Mother with a stern tone.

Dragon Maiden did not dare to rebuke and stared at Chu Mu instead.

“Human Mother will hold back those furious era’s strongest. You and I have a more important matter to do,” said Chu Mu.

Dragon Maiden did not say anything and just responded Chu Mu with her cold glare.

......

Chu Mu brought Dragon Maiden back to wheel platform.

Within the platform, Yellow Spring Emperor was lying there and seemed bored.

Hades Fox God was using its long snout to comb its bright silver fur elegantly, as if unconcerned about the commotion happening outside.

Dragon Maiden felt even more confused after seeing the two era’s strongest.

The other era’s strongest were rampaging, but why were these two so calm??

Chu Mu saw those two acting leisurely like that and was speechless.

As expected for two Undying Legends which had experienced the world. Their calmness probably made those conspirators scratch their heads in anxiety.

Actually, Hades Fox God and Yellow Spring Emperor had already heard the conversation between Chu Mu and Human Mother through the sigil Hades Fox God left on Chu Mu. After understanding the truth, Yellow Spring Emperor and Hades Fox God naturally calmed down, they could just watch the other era’s strongest rampage around.

“Never mind, Human Mother will not tell this matter to so many people. Let’s go, we seem to have something to do now?” Yellow Spring Emperor slowly got up.

Chu Mu nodded. The two Undying rank were certainly very bold. It seemed that they were willing to help him.
