Chapter 336

Oh, then it's fine.

Isn't that just a coincidence.

One trick used over and over, and it actually works — that's just too showy.

"This works out perfectly."

"We'll set aside what comes later for now. Even if they discover it isn't so, it doesn't matter — first, let's take this chance to figure out exactly what they're trying to do."

"Since they've mistaken our Honghuang for the Supreme Honghuang, their submission now must mean they want to latch onto our coattails. If we go ask now, they certainly won't refuse. Figuring everything out first before discussing anything else won't be too late."

Supreme Hongjun transmitted.

"Go with the flow..."

The titans all understood.

It was indeed a good method, saving them a great deal of effort.

"You wish to submit?"

Supreme Hongjun said indifferently.

"We deeply know that our invasion has committed an unforgivable crime. We only wish to submit to atone for our sins. We implore the seniors to discern clearly."

"This is both our fortune and our opportunity. Therefore, we are not forcing the seniors. If the seniors feel this is unacceptable, we are also willing to use other methods to atone and express our gratitude."

"But our submission is absolutely sincere. We are willing to go through fire and water for Honghuang, to serve you with the loyalty of dogs and horses. We implore the seniors to discern clearly!"

Seeing Mu Tiange cried out.

After all, he was the lord of a major faction, and had roamed the myriad heavens for so long — what to say and what not to say, Mu Tiange naturally knew very well.

He wasn't like that idiot Wang Jun from earlier, who thought he was invincible and everyone else was an ant. Naturally, he wouldn't do anything like being unable to let go or save face.

Since they all wanted to submit and latch onto coattails, if they still wanted to care about face, still wanted face, then they'd truly be fools and idiots. Mu Tiange clearly wouldn't make such a crude mistake.

"Interesting."

"I see you're not sincerely admitting guilt — you merely know you can't win, so you're willing to submit. Moreover, you're thinking of gaining some benefit from our Honghuang plane, obtaining some opportunity from us?"

Supreme Hongjun said unhurriedly.

"Yes, that is indeed what I was thinking. But I am also truly sincere in my willingness to submit to Honghuang and to all the seniors. Please discern clearly."

Mu Tiange didn't try to hide it or claim otherwise. He honestly admitted it and said respectfully.

Hide?

Every single one seated here was probably an existence powerful beyond imagination. Before these supreme titans, harboring any scheming thoughts or petty schemes would make one a complete pig.

Say what is, answer what is asked — being honest is the best choice.

"Heh, you're quite honest."

Supreme Hongjun chuckled lightly. The other Honghuang titans also showed a hint of amusement on their faces.

No wonder this faction could dominate the myriad heavens for so long and develop to its current scale. "Those who understand the times are heroes" — this applies no matter the plane or world.

"This is what a junior should do."

Seeing that Supreme Hongjun and the others hadn't acted, Mu Tiange breathed a slight sigh of relief, and a sliver of anticipation rose in his heart. He immediately said.

Since they hadn't acted, that meant there was still room to talk. As long as there was room to talk, it meant he might be able to survive. As long as he didn't die, it meant he had a chance to latch onto Honghuang's coattails!

If he could latch onto the Supreme Honghuang's coattails...

The picture was too beautiful — Mu Tiange didn't dare imagine it.

Not only Mu Tiange, but the other high-ranking members of the Transgressor Management Bureau clearly guessed this too, their eyes involuntarily brightening.

"They come from the Transgressor Management Bureau. Behind them should be that special existence of the myriad heavens — the Spacetime Management Bureau."

At this moment, Brother Fuxi, who had been secretly deducing and probing with the Dao of Spacetime, finally found the result. He immediately transmitted to all the Honghuang titans.

Previously, being unable to probe or deduce any result was because it spanned across the myriad heavens. Now it was right before them, naturally entirely different. Being able to deduce it was normal — no need to say more.

"Transgressor Management Bureau? Spacetime Management Bureau? I heard they're quite mysterious in the myriad heavens. This is a chance to make contact with this faction."

A glint flashed in the eyes of the Honghuang titans as they pondered.

"Follow us to Zixiao Palace to talk."

Supreme Hongjun said lightly.

"Yes, we humbly obey the Dao Ancestor's decree."

Mu Tiange said respectfully.

"We humbly obey the Dao Ancestor's decree!"

The high-ranking members of the Transgressor Management Bureau quickly followed.

Hum!!!

Then Supreme Hongjun waved his great hand. In an instant, as if infinite mighty power erupted, as if profound mysteries gathered, faintly seeming to contain the wonder of the sublime, as if encompassing the marvels of the Heavenly Dao.

In a flash, everyone's figures had vanished at some unknown moment.

Silently, as if nothing had ever happened — not even a trace was left behind. Unless one had been here before, anyone would only think no living beings had ever existed here.

Boom!!!

Rolling thunderous rumbles erupted. Boundless heat waves spread. As if rules were restructuring, as if the Great Dao was compressing. Grand, majestic, magnificent, boundless outlines were sketched and condensed. The void seemed to shatter the Nine Heavens. Billions of universes seemed like layer upon layer being compressed.

In what seemed like a second yet an eternity, at some unknown moment, within the vast chaos that had only been permeated by chaotic qi, an incomparably vast continent had appeared, seemingly without borders.

The Honghuang Continent has returned to its place!

Zixiao Palace, main hall.

The Honghuang titans didn't exchange excessive pleasantries. With a nod, they took their seats one after another. Only the high-ranking members of the Transgressor Management Bureau remained, exchanging glances, somewhat nervous and at a loss.

Should they sit down?

Forget it, better not court death. Just stand obediently. They were prisoners to begin with — what human rights could they expect?

"Sit."

Glancing at Mu Tiange and the others, Supreme Hongjun spoke lightly, as if his words were law made manifest—cushions appeared one by one beneath their feet.

··· 0 seeking flowers 0 ···

"Many thanks, Dao Ancestor."

"Many thanks, Dao Ancestor."

Mu Tiange and the others breathed a slight sigh of relief and took their seats in turn.

Standing there under so many gazes—especially knowing every one of these people was a big shot—the pressure on him was immense, his legs going weak and trembling, all right. Sitting down was better, and it could also calm his mood a little.

"Tell me, why have you set your sights on the Primordial plane?"

There seemed to be a certain deeper meaning in Supreme Hongjun's words, and a pair of eyes likewise fell upon Mu Tiange.

Feeling Supreme Hongjun's gaze, Mu Tiange's heart tightened, as if he could sense that everything about him had been taken in by Supreme Hongjun's eyes, as if before him there was no secret that could be kept.

"So it really was these ones scheming."

Mu Tiange gave a bitter smile in his heart.

There's deeper meaning in those words?

If there's deeper meaning, then that's right.

How could he not understand? He understood perfectly.

On the surface it asked him why he wanted to invade, but in reality it was asking the fundamental question—the reason behind the invasion.

What did this show?

It showed that everything was already within their grasp; they really were inviting him into the jar. Now they were giving him a chance to come clean. If he honestly told the truth, that would still be fine; but if he didn't, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Mu Tiange felt he understood, and at the same time felt immensely relieved.

Fortunately, he had never intended to hide anything in the first place. He had always planned to confess everything, so it was no great matter.

After all, he wasn't a Bai Chi to begin with. Before existences like these, if he still harbored petty schemes or thoughts of concealment, he'd truly be courting death. He wasn't sick in the head, so naturally he wouldn't do such a thing.

"The Spacetime Administration has always been oppressing us, so I wished to escape its control. But without strength, how could I possibly break free?"

"And I had once come into contact with the Primordial, and discovered its special nature, and learned of the disappearance of the Primordial's origin. Thus a mad idea took shape in me."

"To steal the vanished origin of the Primordial!"

"The heavens and myriad realms are vast and boundless, and Primordial planes are countless beyond counting. If I could plunder the vanished origins of these Primordial planes, I would possess the capital to contend with the Spacetime Administration. So..."

"But I never expected that before I had even done anything, I had already been discovered by all of you seniors. The matters that followed, the seniors already know."

"It was my ignorance. I never knew the level of you seniors was so supreme and exalted. Even a mere thought of mine was seen through by the seniors. Please, seniors, forgive me."

Mu Tiange said with a wretched, rueful look.

How was he to know that the Supreme Primordial was so insidious and cunning? Had he known earlier, he definitely wouldn't have gone courting such a great death. He had originally planned to steal a wave first—figuring that as long as he only grabbed a portion, he surely wouldn't be discovered.
