Master of Strange Dao

Chapter 1790: Chapter 484: Reversal, the Heavenly Devil King Is Back

However, she still felt that if Yu Ziqing couldn’t make it back, then many of her hopes would lose their meaning anyway, and wouldn’t be realized.

In the present world, after nightfall, some people noticed changes on the Bright Moon.

On that Bright Moon, which had been almost completely stained blood-red, its color ever more vivid, the blood hue began to fade.

And at the same time, some people could sense that the power of the Blood Moon was also starting to weaken.

On the third day, one could already see that at one corner of the Blood Moon, the blood color had completely receded, revealing a faintly pale-yellow patch of the Bright Moon.

This ongoing, obvious change gave many in the present world a huge boost in morale, as if everything was finally about to return to normal.

And a few major Devil Dao factions also breathed a sigh of relief. They hadn’t bet everything on one throw, but had kept maintaining order, precisely because they felt that in case the Blood Moon suddenly vanished one day, they would still be able to survive.

This was the safest path: whether the Blood Moon was there or not didn’t affect their chance to show their faces and grow stronger.

Now even if the Blood Moon disappeared, they had already managed to show off in a big way and fiercely刷了一波存在感.

It would also become a bit easier to expand their Sect in the future.

People had always lumped the Devil Dao together with the Evil Dao; this time, at least they could say: the Evil Dao deserves to be killed by everyone, but our Devil Dao is not that kind of cheap, gaudy trash.

Everything seemed to be developing in a good direction, even though the overall situation right now hadn’t actually changed much.

But the biggest driving force behind change still came from expectations.

When everyone’s expectations were that things would return to normal, they would have more motivation and would very easily move in that direction.

But some were still not very happy.

The Ancient Sea God was getting more and more anxious; he could feel Yu Ziqing drawing closer and closer.

Especially when he sensed that Yu Ziqing’s form had completely ceased to be human, his power growing ever stronger and ever more Strange, with some methods that even he couldn’t understand anymore, he started to get a little flustered.

The main reason for this was still that Yu Ziqing had the battle record of killing an Ancient God.

No matter how Yu Ziqing had done it, he had done it once.

So, given Yu Ziqing’s current Strange state, who dared say he couldn’t take out an Ancient God who didn’t even have his True Body?

The Cliff Divine King was anxious too.

Because Yu Ziqing had already grabbed ninety percent of the Little Strange, and of the seven Big Strange still in the deep sea, Yu Ziqing had taken six.

Only the last one was still playing hide-and-seek with Yu Ziqing, but it was already about to be caught.

The Cliff Divine King contacted the Ancient Sea God, and the two fell into a heavy silence.

"I’m afraid we won’t be able to wait until the Blood Moon disappears; time might be a bit too tight..." The Ancient Sea God had never been this torn before.

He really was a little afraid of Yu Ziqing, who at this moment was already somewhat deified, somewhat completely Strange-ified.

"How many Deep Sea Strange are left?"

"Only one Big Strange, and some Little Strange that can be ignored."

"Have them lure that Evil Devil away."

"Impossible now. The last Big Strange is about to be caught; at most, in three days in the present world, it’ll be caught.

That Evil Devil has completely lost its human form; once it’s caught, it dies.

It can’t even manage to buy us time."

"That Evil Devil must be lured away, at all costs." The Cliff Divine King made his decision.

Among All Gods, everyone else could disappear, but the Cliff Divine King and the Ancient Sea God absolutely could not have anything happen to them.

As long as the two of them were there, the foundation of All Gods remained; no matter how bad things got, after long ages, there would always be a chance.

If the two of them were gone, then the roots of All Gods would be gone; there would be no way to make a comeback.

After a long silence, the Cliff Divine King suddenly said,

"Leaving aside the Seven Yin King, the Heavenly Devil King is still around."

"The Heavenly Devil King is still here, and the Mountain Lord is not in the Abyss."

The two bastards echoed each other and settled on a way to patch the time gap, at least a way to drag things out until the Blood Moon vanished.

So, the Ancient Sea God personally called out to the Heavenly Devil King.

Once the Heavenly Devil King responded, the Ancient Sea God forcefully ordered him to hurry over and help.

He told the Heavenly Devil King that the plan he and the Cliff Divine King had devised was a great success.

Under the Blood Moon, the present world was already in chaos, countless Cultivators going Devilic and turning into Devils.

And after the Human Devil King revived, he immediately sacrificed himself, allowing this situation to persist.

Now they urgently needed a Great Devil in the present world who could command all those Devils born from it; the success or failure of All Gods’ return hinged on this one move.

After painting a glorious future, adding some hard orders, and telling the Heavenly Devil King that the Mountain Lord was trapped on the New Continent and didn’t dare leave,

the Heavenly Devil King, hidden in the second-layer world of the Abyss, finally couldn’t resist.

He could sense the Ancient Sea God’s anxiety; anything that could make this one so anxious was not a common occurrence.

Just that little bit, the final crucial step— the Heavenly Devil King couldn’t hold back and came out from the second-layer world of the Abyss.

He didn’t rush straight out of the Abyss, but first went near the Abyss Rift Valley to take a look.

He indeed discovered that the number of hungry ghosts in the Abyss Rift Valley had dropped by at least half; they must have been redeployed.

And the Devils in the Abyss, those closest to the Abyss Rift Valley, now dared to wander around its vicinity; clearly this hadn’t just started yesterday.

The Heavenly Devil King believed the Ancient Sea God’s words, but he still contacted the Cliff Divine King to ask about the specifics.

What the Cliff Divine King told him was more or less the same as what the Ancient Sea God had said.

He even added one more piece of news: that the Mountain Lord was trapped on the New Continent, and took the chance to give him a brief popular science lesson on what the New Continent was.

He also told him that Yu Ziqing had been dragged down in the deep sea for a long time already.

And that the Cliff Divine King had already begun stepping out of the Void Cliff.

This string of news made the Heavenly Devil King certain that the time for All Gods’ great counterattack had come.

He immediately rallied a portion of the Devils within the Abyss and directed them to assault the Abyss Rift Valley.

Then, when the hungry ghosts in the Abyss Rift Valley had been reduced to less than half and began to gather to deal with the Devils, the Heavenly Devil King himself quietly slipped out of the Abyss Rift Valley from another edge.

When he arrived in the present world, the Heavenly Devil King could hardly believe it had been this easy.

When he lifted his head and saw that mottled Blood Moon, and felt the faint Demonic Qi pervading the present world,

he couldn’t help but laugh out loud; their era had finally arrived.
