Once the Goddess’s blessing was received, a banquet would be held for everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If the succession ceremony is finished, may I say a few words?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a voice rang out from the back of the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone turned quickly and saw Xu Zimo and his group slowly walking forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who is that?” someone asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing Xu Zimo appear, Lan Ke’er’s eyes locked on him, her body trembling slightly as if she nearly lost her balance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who are you?” Two divine envoys stepped forward to block Xu Zimo’s group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m here to see your ancestors. I have some business to discuss with them,” Xu Zimo said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two divine envoys looked behind them and saw the ancestor woman in the back gesture for them to allow the group through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three ancestors of the Goddess Palace were Heaven-Bearer, Heaven-Sworn, and Luminous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman in the blue robe seated in the center who had spoken with Xu Zimo before was Luminous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo pointed at Gongsun Hongtian, who was bound with the Immortal-Suppression Chain, and said, “I brought the man you wanted. Do with him what you will. Now, where’s what you promised me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s been a long time, Gongsun Hongtian,” Luminous smiled in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not just her, but the other two ancestors were visibly stirred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gongsun Hongtian, you finally crawled out of your turtle shell in Heavenly Bond City,” Ancestor Heaven-Bearer laughed loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the ancestors speak, the crowd around them erupted in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s Gongsun Hongtian? The leader of the Heavenly Bond Cult?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He came to the Goddess Palace? Isn’t he asking for death?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This event was even more shocking than the succession of the Young Palace Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the Heavenly Bond Cult was like a thorn in the side of the Goddess Palace, one they could never seem to remove.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in recent years, it had only grown stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ignoring the noise around them, Xu Zimo turned to Luminous and asked, “So? Where’s what you promised me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What did you promise him?” Ancestor Heaven-Bearer asked Luminous in a low voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Nirvana-Fire Pearl,” Luminous replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you crazy? That treasure is invaluable, you know that better than I do,” Heaven-Bearer said anxiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You decide,” Luminous stretched lazily and reclined in her chair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heaven-Bearer pondered for a moment, then smiled at Xu Zimo and said, “Would you allow us a moment to discuss before we give you an answer?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What, your word means nothing now?” Xu Zimo said with a smirk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s not that. It’s just a serious matter, we must be cautious,” Heaven-Bearer replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In that case,” Xu Zimo waved his hand and removed the Immortal-Suppression Chain from Gongsun Hongtian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said, “You’re free to go. Seems they have no intention of honoring their deal.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Gongsun Hongtian turned to leave, Ancestor Heaven-Sworn, who had remained silent the whole time, suddenly slammed her seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She shouted, “Gongsun, you cur! You think you can leave the Goddess Palace alive?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as she finished, she lunged at Gongsun Hongtian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Xu Zimo smiled faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Figures, people this shameless still exist in the world.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gongsun Hongtian clashed with Ancestor Heaven-Sworn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He laughed loudly and said, “See, Young Master Xu? The people of the Goddess Palace are nothing but liars.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around them, blue barriers rose up, like invisible membranes enclosing the entire palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the Goddess Palace’s protective formation, activated to prevent Gongsun Hongtian from escaping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo’s gaze turned cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his hand and grabbed forcefully, summoning an enormous spiritual hand from the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the giant hand lunged at Heaven-Sworn, the skies seemed to tremble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a thunderous boom, the heavens themselves appeared to shatter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heaven-Sworn was sent flying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heaven-Bearer’s eyes narrowed. He looked at Xu Zimo and asked, “What is the meaning of this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you think?” Xu Zimo replied. “If you won’t hand over the Nirvana-Fire Pearl peacefully, I’ll just take it myself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Outrageous! Do you think the Goddess Palace is a place where you can act so recklessly?” Heaven-Bearer snorted coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His aura exploded, surging with overwhelming force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It shook the entire heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Luminous,” Heaven-Bearer called out in frustration to the still-idle Luminous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luminous shrugged, then stood up with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like ripples in a pond, celestial gates began to open around her. Each one radiated an even stronger presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three ancestors stepped into the air, their combined pressure blanketing the entire sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone below was crushed beneath it, feeling utterly insignificant and powerless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“None of you are leaving,” Heaven-Bearer said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All three ancestors had reached the Immortal Path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heaven-Sworn was an Immortal Sovereign, Luminous was an Undying Immortal, and Heaven-Bearer stood at the peak of immortality, a Zenith Immortal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young Master Xu, I’ll take one of them,” Gongsun Hongtian said with a laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo turned to the monk Great Wisdom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monk quickly shook his head and said, “I have to protect Gu Yue. I’m sorry, I can’t handle a battle at this level.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo shook his head slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked up at the two remaining ancestors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His own aura began to rise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He waved his right hand, and Chaos emerged from the God World of True Fate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beast’s majestic presence filled the area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through cultivation in the God World of True Fate, Chaos had grown rapidly, now reaching the level of Immortal Sovereign.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo patted Chaos on the head and said, “One each.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he charged straight at Heaven-Bearer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked step by step into the air, with the power of Heaven-Shattering Force and the Three-Gates spinning within him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His aura shattered the pressure from the three ancestors above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The War God’s Nine Transformations activated at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Explosions resounded, drowning the entire space in violent chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>",1160,"2026-06-06T01:06:56.727Z",1,"novelbin.me","841f361acab3f32280e4b8308a86f9f881778cd924e7e97b58b76af287291502","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-790","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-788",1822,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-really-am-a-villain-cover.jpg"]
