Chapter 1879

Beside him, Elder Mo Han's eyes flickered, and he nodded.

The seal in his hand shifted.

Hiss!

The Dao Resonance of time, like ripples rushing, spread around him.

Mo Han's body turned illusory, as if merging into the River of Time.

You should know, in this world of the Blue Sea Empire, the River of Time also exists.

This is the Longevity Clan's innate gift!

Mo Han began to observe within the River of Time.

Pfft!

He spat out a mouthful of essence blood, his breath grew weak, and his originally large, full head became somewhat withered.

"What did you see?" Elder Heiyan hurriedly asked.

Mo Han swallowed an ancient star‑oddity, then paused and said, "I saw… in the Blue Sea Empire there are several individuals of great fortune, their auras too terrifying; and there is one person whom I cannot even probe—just a single thought from him caused my Dao Resonance to collapse."

Hearing this, Elder Heiyan Patriarch and Elder Chenwang were shocked, "How could that be? Could it be the Ruthless Female Emperor taking action?"

Now they actually have a great situation!

Their several forces joined together to set up the Heaven‑Reaching Spirit Fire Grand Formation, now burning the Three Great Star Seas.

If not for that previous heaven‑defying Dao Origin, the Blue Sea Empire would have already collapsed.

But that previous great opportunity merely gave humanity a chance to catch its breath.

The current situation still favors them.

"We can't wait any longer; we must take the initiative." Mo Han said.

He had already become extremely fearful.

He did not want to face those several great fortune‑bearers.

The longer time drags on, the more terrifying those several great fortune‑bearers become!

Elder Heiyan naturally also realized the gravity of the problem, "You're right, but the key is how we provoke them now; the Blue Sea Emperor always stays on the defensive and won't take the bait."

Elder Chenwang said thoughtfully, "I know the Blue Sea Emperor too well. He is very aggressive, loves grand achievements, and is a warmonger."

These years, although the Blue Sea Empire is extremely disadvantaged, he has more than once thought of fighting us to the death.

Elder Heiyan gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it! The Blue Sea Emperor is always being dissuaded by Fang Qianshan and Du Rushui. If we could kill those two, no one in the Blue Sea Empire could persuade the emperor to stay put; then he would surely take the field."

Fang Qianshan!

Du Rushui!

These two are the Blue Sea Emperor's most capable aides, known as "Fang Plans, Du Decides."

The humanity's Three Great Star Seas have been stabilized precisely because of these two.

Among them, the Sun Profound Star Sea—Fang Qianshan also came from the Guarding Simplicity Academy; its current head is his student, who likewise firmly believes in the "stand firm and do not sortie" strategy.

The female commander guarding the Moon Profound Star Sea is Du Rushui's daughter, Du Ying.

Du Rushui cultivates the Water Dao and has deep research into the Dao of hardness and softness.

Thus the Moon Profound Star Sea can always withstand pressure, like water—it may look light and flimsy, as if it couldn't hold up, yet it is soft and enduring.

His daughter Du Ying inherited Du Rushui's legacy; she is proficient in both offense and defense of the Water Dao, making her a fierce general!

As for the Sixth Prince guarding the Star Profound Sea, he is also a disciple of these two.

Thus the pillars of the Blue Sea Empire are forged by Fang Qianshan and Du Rushui.

These two are officials who dare to remonstrate even unto death.

Thinking of this, Elder Heiyan frowned, "Then how do we get the Blue Sea Emperor to take the field?"

Elder Chenwang said, "I've finally figured out this old coot. In these several cycles, we've suppressed and beaten him, so he's been holding back a breath; he really wants to lead the campaign himself. He just lacks an opportunity."

Elder Heiyan asked, "What do you mean?"

Elder Chenwang said, "The Blue Sea Emperor merely lacks a hope of victory. Do you remember? In previous cycles, he often led the campaign himself; even when the odds were three‑to‑seven or two‑to‑eight, he would still take the field."

"And indeed he often turned the tide. That's why this old coot has always been confident."

"As for why he doesn't take the field now—because he leads his elite forces against us in a fight to the death, the odds are ten‑to‑zero."

Elder Heiyan nodded, "I understand; you mean we can turn the tables. Now the Blue Sea Emperor has manifested two great omens: one is the previous heaven‑defying Dao Origin, which has solidified the cycle; the other is this heaven‑sent omen, the birth of a Child of Fortune."

"So the Blue Sea Emperor must have regained his confidence. As long as we show a flaw, he will surely not be able to resist taking the field!"

Chenwang laughed loudly, "You're right."

Elder Moli said, "Do you still remember the prophecy from the Blue Ripple Empire? It said that when the empire appears a heaven‑defying evildoer of the Water Dao, humanity will then flourish greatly, and the Blue Sea Empire will overturn fate."

Elder Chenwang and the others all nodded.

"We naturally remember this prophecy. Could it be that you, in the River of Time, saw that Child of Fortune appear?"

Elder Moli nodded.

Elder Heiyan and the others' faces immediately turned solemn, "That means we don't have much time left."

Everyone began to discuss the specific plan.

After several hours, their plan was ready.

Elder Chenwang began to announce.

"First stratagem: have our people feign defeat, make the performance convincing, so the Blue Sea Emperor regains his confidence."

"You must know, now that heaven and earth have undergone great changes, humanity's fortune has indeed surged greatly; it's only reasonable that we have won some battles!"

"But this is merely bait."

Everyone nodded, indicating approval.

Elder Chenwang continued, "Second stratagem: use the reincarnation worm to influence the Blue Sea Emperor's will, making him himself want to take the field!"

Over these years of reincarnation, our reincarnation gu power has already invaded his body, and also the Canghai Empire's national treasure Spiritual Weapon, the Reincarnation Hun Tian Instrument.

As long as we invisibly influence his will, the Canghai Emperor will surely send troops.

Everyone nodded, 'Agreed.'

Elder Chen Wang continued, 'Third plan: seek out the human race's child of destiny, the prophesied child, and eliminate him in advance!'

These three schemes can be said to be interlocking.

Everyone was very satisfied.

Now that we have bait, we need not fear that the Canghai Emperor won't take the hook.

Elder Mo Li asked, 'Then let that army feign defeat?'

Elder Chen Wang produced the star chart, pondered for a moment, and pointed to the army where Xiao Liang was.

Unruly Commander!

Everyone was stunned: 'The troops under the Unruly Commander are all battle-hardened veterans, especially the Unruly Commander himself, who is very strong; he is currently in the Moon Mystic Sea, facing off against Du Ying.'

If the Unruly Commander just pretends to lose like that, Du Ying probably won't take the bait!

Chen Wang said, 'Then let the Unruly Commander act more convincingly, more realistically! The human race longs too much for a victory!'
