Chapter 195: Successful Theft

"The threat of the Human Race's Sangyu to us is growing; we let her escape this time, but next time we must eliminate her!"

Disguised as the Phoenix Supreme Saint, you listen to the three tribes' Supreme Saints discuss Sangyu.

Their words are all filled with hatred and fear toward Sangyu.

"I, the High One, actually think she is no longer a threat; after this battle, the entire Human Race will cease to exist."

Some Supreme Saints also believe Sangyu is merely at the end of a dead‑end road.

"The Human Race's Sangyu clearly knows that Shenshan has a Divine Lord Forbidden Array and that we, the peak Supreme Saints, guard it, yet she flies like a moth to flame, courting her own ruin."

"Because the Human Race has no way out, she can only gamble with her life!"

"The laughable thing is, no matter how she struggles, the only outcome awaiting the Human Race is annihilation."

"And the Fox Clan! And those allied with the Human Race will also die! They will finally recall the terror of being ruled by the Ancient God!"

The three tribes' Supreme Saints laugh wildly.

Your mood is heavy; every word, every character presses on your heart like a mountain.

All expectations rest upon you.

Success or failure is decided by you—will you shine through the ages of history, or be utterly erased and die in guilt?

Your heart is filled with confusion.

You lie in wait, motionless, awaiting an opportunity.

"Facing the Divine Lord, can Chuan hold his ground?"

"If you cover me once more, can Sangyu endure it?"

"I must succeed!"

Your thoughts race as you wait for a while.

Boom!

The Shenshan Forbidden Array trembles again, and Sangyu returns.

This time Sangyu acts even more wildly, her whole body suffused with red demonic aura, as if ready to gamble with her life.

She breaks through layer upon layer of blockades, passes one Supreme Saint after another, and charges toward the summit of Shenshan.

"Stop her!"

The Supreme Saints guarding Shenshan strike in succession; only the three strongest Supreme Saints remain unmoved, still stationed near the Holy Light Seed.

The Dragon Phoenix Qilin Three Tribes alliance also watches each other warily.

This is also where you and Sangyu can seize the chance to slip in and steal the seed.

In the relentless chase, Sangyu draws ever nearer to Shenshan's summit; her perfect body is already damaged—it is her final, self‑consuming battle.

Sangyu's performance exceeds the three tribes' Supreme Saints' expectations.

At the moment she nears the summit, the three Supreme Saints protecting the Holy Light Seed are forced to act, and the scene descends into total chaos!

Almost all attention is drawn to Sangyu.

"Now is the time!"

You seize the fleeting chance, shedding the disguised Phoenix form, manifesting the True Form of Nine‑tailed Fox.

Tail Severance: Divine Break!

You unhesitatingly unleash the forbidden technique unique to the Nine‑Tailed Fox Clan, severing one tail to gain boundless might, shattering the array.

At this moment, your realm is infinitely approaching the Divine Lord.

In terms of direct combat power, Sangyu is nowhere near you.

Yet you dare not take any overreaching actions, directly using the Tail Severance technique; compared to victory, any sacrifice now is worthwhile.

Your sudden "defection" enrages the three tribes' Supreme Saints.

"How could that be? It's the Fox Clan Empress! When did she infiltrate?!"

They are already too late to stop you.

Tail Severance: Divine Escape!

You spit out a mouthful of fresh blood and sever another tail.

Diving into the forbidden array, you grab three Holy Light Seeds, and the mysterious aura of the Ancient God sears your palm.

Being not of the Ancient God Clan, even touching it costs you a great price.

The Supreme Saints no longer attend to Sangyu, and rush to attack you; their ferocious blows shatter the surrounding space completely.

You take out the Array Plate crafted by Human Ancestor Xi and activate it.

The Spatial Law envelops you.

In an instant, you are transported beneath Shenshan.

To maintain absolute stability, only short‑range spatial teleportation is possible; the Array Plate sending you beneath Shenshan is already remarkable.

But this distance, for the three tribes' Supreme Saints, reaching you is a matter of a heartbeat.

You have already severed two tails, and your combat power plummets.

You can only rely on Sangyu.

"Empress, thank you for your effort."

Sangyu, scarred all over, shows you a smile, grabs your hand, a vortex appears, and she leads you to slip into the Myriad‑Phase Space and depart.

When you return to the main world again, you have not moved far away from Shenshan.

You realize something is wrong.

Sangyu keeps coughing blood, her breath erratic, complexion pallid, Dao body unstable, swaying as if about to collapse, clearly unable to hold on much longer.

This distance is unsafe; the three tribes' Supreme Saints will soon catch up.

If you wait for the three tribes' Divine Lord to make a move, you are dead.

"Ahem."

Sangyu leans on you, forcing herself upright, "We can't return to the Human Race's territory; we must first find the Human Ancestor."

"Only the power of the Human Ancestor can resolve this crisis."

"From now on I'll use my last resort; I'll conceal your aura so that even the Divine Lord cannot track you."

"You… you must stay alive."

Sangyu speaks haltingly, coughing up blood nonstop.

You aren't pretentious; you simply nod, "Alright!"

The road ahead is destined to be walked by Sangyu alone; you can no longer help much.

"Thank you."

Sangyu's smile is mournfully beautiful, her peerless, city‑toppling visage now appearing so lonely and helpless that it tugs at the heart.

You ask, "Is there anything you want to convey to him?"

This parting may be forever.

Leaving one more sentence might reduce some regret.

"Words for Chuan?"

Sangyu, in a daze, says, "It seems there are many, yet it feels like I've already said everything, after all I've known him for so many, many years."

You remain silent.

Sangyu sighs, "The biggest regret is not having a child with him; if there is a next life, I'll have her bear a beautiful daughter."

You gently nod, "Hmm, I will tell him."

Sangyu adds, "Tell him not to be sad, not to blame himself; Yun has already left. If I also cannot return, could you look after him for me?"

"Of course."

You shift tone, flashing a bright smile, "But I believe you will return; you shouldn't be content with me monopolizing him, right?"

"Yes! I'm so unwilling."

Sangyu looks at you, "But I can only give him to you now; at least I haven't lost to Yun, and I've done so much for him."

"Even if I fail, I will, like Yun, live forever in his heart."

"You're miserable, with two graves living in the heart of the one by your pillow."

Even now, she hasn't forgotten to tease you.

You smile and wave your hand, "Alright, alright, you go quickly; today I let you have a turn."

"Hmm, I'm leaving."

At this moment, Sangyu's previously damaged body is enveloped by an astonishing divinity, and your aura is also shielded by this divinity.

That is… the power of an Ancient God!
