Chapter 127: Anticipating Rahu

"……"

"Then this still means nothing has changed, right?"

Seeing a four-tribe war already unfold, Zhao Si, who was peeking at the screen, also didn't know what to say, only frowning in thought.

The mist of the three-tribe war has now cleared; the war's origin was not at all due to the three old ancestors fighting for power and profit—quite the opposite, the three old ancestors' interests had been secretly divided from the very start!

The result of their distribution was simply to send each other to their deaths; as long as enough were sent, the three ancestors could thereby achieve the Dao……

Although the specific principle of this miraculous plan remains unclear, its effect is very obvious.

Is there?

You don't want to become a sage, do you?

Moreover, it shows no sign of stopping; it seems to be aiming straight for the next realm recorded in the Immortal Law—the Quasi-Saint!

Jiao Ming closed his eyes, yet he could vividly see that brutal battlefield; the horrific scenes from his two lives gradually merged into one—every piece of flesh, every anguished cry, felt all too real.

Jiao Ming let out a helpless sigh:

If this continues, the three ancestors could easily break through to the Quasi-Saint alongside me; then it would be three against one, while Hongjun remains a Great Luo Golden Immortal—I would basically be doomed.

Hongjun asked.

Everything stems from the three ancestors' greed; once I have enough strength, I will surely kill them!

But Hongjun shook his head:

However, the strangest point is this: Jiao Ming lacks the 'Severing Three Corpses' method for breaking through to the Quasi-Saint, yet he is clearly advancing toward that breakthrough!

Jiao Ming said quietly:

"Kill those three!"

Now they three have figured it out:

Hongjun sighed:

Thinking this through, Jiao Ming again asked Hongjun doubtfully:

"The frontline battle reports are grim; all sides are fighting to a bloody mess……"

"Because this is where I was born."

Whether they yield benefits voluntarily or are forced to, as long as they are willing to yield benefits, this is an unsolvable yang scheme!

"Yeah, it's coming soon……"

The three tribes could unilaterally "help him advance":

We'll give you a stroke of fortune!

Rahu?

I clearly didn't enlighten them just to have them die, yet now they are fighting the three tribes' slaves to a bloody mess, suffering heavy casualties.

"This is also one of the reasons I chose to awaken the sentience of all beings; I don't want to be their father, only their friend."

"But now, they are dying because of me……"

Hongjun remained silent for a long time, merely staring at Jiao Ming, then suddenly said:

"You're about to break through."

But considering the three tribes' elite level is far higher than ours, this abnormal battle result can only mean the enemy is deliberately sending……

Such a yang scheme is nearly unsolvable.

Add! Anything can be added!

Jiao Ming inexplicably began to pray to the long-deceased Primordial Giant God:

If the giant god still has a lingering spirit, then please find a powerful enough breaker to come; Rahu doesn't matter—I can first wait for Rahu and the three ancestors to fight to mutual destruction, then drag all four of them into a mutual self‑explosion as burial!

In short, do not let the three ancestors truly enslave the Vast Wasteland forever—that would be an immeasurably tragic ending……

Hongjun seemed to want to say something, but Jiao Ming completely didn't want to hear any military‑political affairs; he abruptly cut off Hongjun's words, then slowly asked:

"It seems I cannot possibly kill those three……"

Hongjun slowly walked over, gazed at Jiao Ming for a long time, then let out a sigh.

"I believe you haven't made a pact with Zu Feng and the others……"

"Once you break through, what do you want to do?"

Southern Wasteland, Little Volcano.

But now, on the Vast Wasteland, where are any Quasi‑Saints or Saints?

On the surface it seemed a failure, because Jiao Ming, relying on sheer willpower, forcibly refused the temptation to achieve the Dao!

Without a cultivation method, can one still break through?

Jiao Ming himself finds it absurd.

Jiao Ming lowered his head bitterly.

At this helpless moment, Jiao Ming couldn't help but miss Rahu:

Who knows what secret method Rahu used, but he alone could fight those three!

But if Rahu could appear now, he might really be able to break the stalemate……

Jiao Ming lifted his head to look at the rough bird's nest on the treetop, his vexed feelings inexplicably calmed, and he reminisced:

"When I just broke out of my shell, I felt curious about everything in the world, and at the same time I longed to grow up quickly, so I could fly out of the bird's nest, go to many places under the blue sky, find a group of friends I could chat with, then find a beautiful female bird and lay clutch after clutch of eggs……"

So did this divisive scheme succeed?

"There are only a few innate deities in the Vast Wasteland; I basically know them all, and there is definitely no one named Rahu!"

"This shows they are deliberately throwing away their lives, letting your casualties stay lower than theirs, thereby erasing the strength gap between you and them until you both break through together."

According to the records, breaking through from Great Luo to Quasi‑Saint is not something that can be achieved by mere bitter cultivation; it also requires a secret method called 'Severing Three Corpses,' which the Immortal Law does not possess, so one must specially seek out a 'Saint' or another Quasi‑Saint to learn it.

"Rahu? I really don't know him."

But he couldn't help feeling dazed:

Since there is no innate divine being named Rahu in the primordial wilderness, where did the Rahu I once encountered come from?

Rahu, Rahu……

But he had failed, yet not completely failed.

From initially entering Great Luo Golden Immortal to reaching the peak of Great Luo, he used less than ten aeons, the speed of increase so fast that even he himself was frightened.

……

Hongjun shook his head firmly:

If we can't beat you, we'll drag you into our side; the original three-clan war lacked excitement, but the four-clan war is just right!

Under these circumstances, no matter what Jiao Ming does, he will fall into the trap meticulously designed by the Three Ancestors.

"It seems Jiao Ming's second round will end in tragedy, just like Jin Bing's second round......"

"You can't kill them, because when you break through, they will also break through......"

Isn't it just adding one more person to be the banker?

Because the war of the four clans still broke out, the situation has completely spiraled out of control, it's just like farming kills……

But this also actually proves the value of the Three Ancestors' Dao-attainment method; if even this can be broken through, then it seems 'Severing the Three Corpses' really doesn't work against this method......

Jiao Ming sat alone under the tree, dazed, like a wooden clay sculpture.

Jiao Ming raised his head, numb, looking at him:

"What's the difference?"

And the sudden emergence of Jiao Ming's enlightenment of myriad spirits essentially touched the interests pre-allocated by the Three Ancestors, so the Three Ancestors all want to get rid of him.

The result of outwitting is to use this bloodline Dao-attainment method to sow discord between their relationship......

No.

But, because Hongjun joined Jiao Ming's camp, it forced the Three Ancestors to abandon force and turn to outwitting.

Hongjun paused, then shook his head.

Jiao Ming recalled for a moment:

Indeed, recently the frontline has gained many victories, the populace consequently greatly uplifted, all saying they will surely win, surely knock down the three clans, etc.

Once this hypocrite is exposed, there's no need to worry Hongjun won't leave; the scheme to sow discord still works, plan successful!

And if Jiao Ming chooses to resist, that's even better; we four will directly start a melee, you kill mine, I kill yours, although we haven't signed a joining pact, what's the difference from having joined?

Let's progress together!

Although our slaves are far fewer than the planned number, as long as the fighting lasts long enough, slaves generation after generation will eventually suffice!

The Three Elders' plan cannot be said to be imperfect; the only reason they were previously thwarted by Jiao Ming was their unwillingness to divide the existing interests.

"So later, I especially longed for true fellow beings, I hope to live happily with many fellow beings......"

Having received such a negative reply, even if Jiao Ming had ten thousand doubts, he could only believe it.

"Do you really not know an innate divine being named Rahu?"

One must admit, the Three Ancestors' Dao-attainment method indeed has a basis; after large-scale war broke out, accompanied by the three clans' slaughter of his bloodline, his cultivation is skyrocketing at an unimaginable speed!

"But only after growing up did I slowly discover that fellow beings are all foolish beasts, utterly unlike me; I could never be friends with them, nor could I lay eggs with them."

Because Jiao Ming, in order to stop the three-clan war, created a new clan, this actually added a loophole for himself.

Jiao Ming is not some superb politician or military strategist; he has always been just an ordinary person, yet these extraordinary matters always require ordinary him to make decisions……

"Do you know why I come here to sit when I'm worried?"

Jiao Ming's gaze gradually drifted:

Seeing Jiao Ming close his eyes, Hongjun also let out a sigh, then turned and left.

However, there is no method in immortal arts to break through to Quasi-Sage; the limit of immortal arts is Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Then we will make sure you don't become it!

The three clans all launched an attack on Jiao Ming's forces; if Jiao Ming chooses not to resist, that shows he says one thing but does another, he's a hypocrite, obviously wanting to progress but insisting on pretending.

The main point is a win-win; you win, I win, everyone will have a bright future......

"Have you noticed that the frontline battle reports are getting better and better?"

Hongjun secretly sighed:

Looks like we indeed can't avoid letting it break the stalemate……
