Dragon Tamer - Chapter 1016

Chapter 1016: Chapter 1020: The Heaven’s Secret of the Other Shore Chapter 1016: Chapter 1020: The Heaven’s Secret of the Other Shore “Speaking of which, there is an important matter I need to report to you, regarding Lu Wu,” Zhu Minglang said.

As a former God’s Head of the Yuheng Star Palace, Lu Wu had committed acts against the Heavenly Dao. No matter how intelligent or how ancient the Ancestor Demon God Shan Meng was, as it escaped from the Prison Continent, it had only one objective: the extinction of the Human Race.

Since Lu Wu had colluded with it, she would inevitably reveal some important information to the Ancient Yao clan, making it even more difficult to deal with them.

“Let’s hear it,” said the Yuheng Star Goddess.

Zhu Minglang detailed the collusion between Lu Wu and Shan Meng.

The Yuheng Star Goddess listened intently.

After a while, she finally spoke, “Lu Wu has never been under my command; instead, she has been more closely associated with the Linghu Clan and the Sikong Family.”

“Does the Yuheng Star Palace also have factions?” Zhu Minglang asked, somewhat surprised.

“Where do factions not exist? Even in a family of five, there’s always the issue of who holds the authority, especially once the children come of age,” the Yuheng Star Goddess remarked.

“So even with Lu Wu behaving so rebelliously, you don’t intervene?” Zhu Minglang asked.

“You’ve been wronged, brother will compensate you,” the Yuheng Star Goddess replied with a smile.

“…” Zhu Minglang always found this title a bit strange.

“As for Lu Wu, let’s put that aside for now; she won’t be causing trouble again anytime soon,” Meng Bingci said.

“In fact, she has already realized that her actions have been exposed. She has gone into hiding and started to manipulate things from behind the scenes. It’s not too difficult to find her, but to find all the participants behind her is no easy task,” the Yuheng Star Goddess said.

“Is this a very large power?” Zhu Minglang asked, surprised.

“Everyone wants to secure a place for themselves at the beginning of the creation of the North Dipper God State, be it Heavenly Dao or Demonic Way, because only by standing above all deities can one reach the higher Heavenly Vastness and become favored by the Superior God and Superior Immortal,” the Yuheng Star Goddess explained.

“So, any means are justifiable?” Zhu Minglang said.

“Many times, the Upper Heavens are like a king sealed within a high palace; his vision is limited. Often, he cannot see beyond the palace walls, only the courtiers within. Who are the corrupt ministers, and who are the loyal ones? How could he possibly tell at a glance? Among the True Gods, Evil Gods are not few. Thus, the heavens grant special missions to certain Divine Chosen; among these missions, there are those who Chop Deities. These Chop Deities reside among humans, reside within the God Realm, and they see more comprehensively than the heavens…” the Yuheng Star Goddess explained.

Zhu Minglang touched his nose.

In the end, it seemed this task had fallen on him!

He was the Chop Deity, gifted by the heavens, the God of Sky Inspection, the God of Fuchen at Dragon Tail.

Sigh?

Something seemed off.

Revealing Lu Wu’s actions was to compel Yuheng to personally execute this traitor.

But with just a few words, Yuheng shifted this hot potato back to her, suggesting with her words, “Old Heavenly Father will naturally take care of her.”

The problem was, the divine mandate received by Fu Chen, as a God of Fuchen, was to execute gods, and Lu Wu’s crimes certainly warranted trial under her own tribunal!

“I’m a bit tired, you and your son haven’t seen each other in a long time, you must have a lot to talk about, I’ll go rest for a while,” said Yuheng Star Goddess in front of Zhu Minglang as she stretched languidly.

Zhu Minglang hurriedly averted his gaze.

This aunt of his could be quite unrestrained at times, with a neckline so low, she stretched without any inhibitions.

…

After Yuheng Star Goddess left, Meng Bingci sat down opposite Zhu Minglang.

“The matter of Lu Wu, it involves me,” said Meng Bingci.

“Ah?” Zhu Minglang expressed his surprise.

“I took her position,” Meng Bingci stated.

“Because the aunt wants to support you as the head, she needed to remove Lu Wu. Lu Wu harbored resentment, so she conspired with Shan Meng?” Zhu Minglang asked.

“That’s part of it. Lu Wu had once slain the incarnations of Four Great Fierce Beasts, her own vitality was greatly damaged, and the remnants of the fierce spirits invaded her, producing a terrifying Heart Demon within her,” Meng Bingci explained.

“Everyone has their Heart Demon, the path she chose was simply untenable by the heavenly principle,” Zhu Minglang remarked.

“With the Heart Demon entwined, her lifespan dwindling, and her status further threatened, me taking her position was also the catalyst for her complete corruption,” Meng Bingci stated.

“I won’t pity her,” Zhu Minglang said.

“Mm,” Meng Bingci nodded, glancing in the direction of Yuhan Palace as if to ascertain something.

After a brief silence, Meng Bingci’s voice became deep and soft, her gaze fixed on Zhu Minglang as she said word by word, “Do not bring up anything concerning Zhu Xuehen to her.”

The tone and expression were far from casual reminders, but very, very serious and cautious.

Zhu Minglang was stunned for a moment, unsure how to respond.

“There is always a higher sky, even at her station, she is still only the lord of many stars, unable to compete with the brilliance of the moon. In the Supreme Court, the Four Great Sects, and Six Great Clans all seek the key to ascension, yet throughout their lives, they’re unlikely to step into the Realm of Gods. Similarly, in the North Dipper God State, no matter how much the Star Gods please the heavens or accumulate virtue, they can’t bridge the chasm between starlight and moonlight, causing many True Gods to waver. The former Lu Wu, known for ferrying myriad souls, wasn’t an exaggeration, but she eventually lost herself at the end of her deity path … If Zheng Cang gives her no way out, she chooses another path, to become a follower of Xie Cang!” Meng Bingci’s voice was very low, clearly not wishing anyone other than Zhu Minglang to hear.

Despite his many doubts, Zhu Minglang remained silent, intentionally allowing Meng Bingci to speak. He listened intently, believing these were truths that Meng Bingci, in her motherly heart, felt compelled to reveal.

“The higher one reaches as a Star God, the easier it is to stray. I’ve been away from Yuheng Star Palace for too long, and I haven’t been by her side for long, so I can’t give you a definite answer about whether she is now lost… The North Dipper Seven Star Gods are all searching for the guardian of Dragon Gate, because the Seven Star Gods believe that the guardian harbors the cosmic secrets to reaching the Divine King’s realm. For ascending to higher Immortal Courts, even their own kin can be sacrificed,” Meng Bingci stated.

“I understand,” Zhu Minglang nodded earnestly.

Yuheng and Meng Bingci had been apart for many years, and even as sisters, Meng Bingci couldn’t ensure whether Yuheng would harm or use her to uncover the secrets of Zhu Xuehen in pursuit of those celestial secrets.
