Chapter 1012: Chapter 443: Rule of Blood_2

They were enjoying farming experience and Cause and Effect Points!

Zhou Yanyang was also quite disdainful: “He started all this, without him there wouldn’t be this disaster, how can he just leave?”

“With him gone, won’t his civilization’s people be doomed?”

“That’s tens of thousands of lives! Just abandoning his people like that, does he still deserve to be called the Master of Civilization?”

“Strange, I heard before that he wasn’t like this.”

There were many who shared Zhou Yanyang’s thoughts. Awakening Trial brought him forward, and even during the final battle he remembered to split forces to assist other Awakened; the Battle of Peng City saw him entering the danger alone, turning back the tide!

After that, it’s said he risked his life to bring back urgently needed information for the government.

Could such a person really be cowardly, too scared to fight in the Civilization Domain, abandoning his people to flee?

“You can’t judge a person by their appearance,” sighed a Heroic Spirit. “Yang Flame, you’re almost forty and still don’t understand this principle?”

Someone else said, “I heard from an Awakened of this world that he isn’t as selfless as the rumors say, rather he often snatches resources in the Awakening Space…”

Though the Awakened present were there to help Chu Xiu only for promised rewards, fighting alongside a hero and executing tasks under a villain are completely different mindsets.

For a time, almost everyone inwardly despised Chu Xiu.

Some even felt that no matter how good his Talent was, with such a nature he’d never accomplish anything!

“Forget it, even the Master of Civilization ran, what can we do?”

“Can only blame these civilization people for their bad luck, landing such a Master of Civilization.”

“We should leave quickly to avoid further complications.”

The Awakened on the field weren’t foolish — even if Chu Xiu weren’t there, those who’d stay wouldn’t exceed thirty percent. Now that he’s gone, others naturally started to withdraw.

Each figure became phantom-like, leaving only the local civilization people standing there, showing despair.

“Wait! Don’t go!”

“We’ll reward you! All our civilization’s Treasures will be yours!”

“Please, don’t leave…”

Their pleas did not dissuade the Awakened from departing; under the current circumstances, their staying would be futile.

The Awakened only showed pity in their eyes, with Chu Xiu’s disdain even deeper in their hearts.

As they turned completely into Void Bodies, entering High-dimensional Space to leave.

Yet suddenly, several sharp screams rang out, the bodies of the first few starting to leave suddenly materialized, then exploded into blood mist as if crushed by a giant hand!

Others were drawn out of leaving status, falling back to their original place!

“What’s happening?” Everyone showed terrified expressions, completely baffled!

Among those who suddenly exploded were even Heroic Spirit leaders!

At this moment of bewilderment, a faint voice came from above.

“No mercy for deserters.”

Raising their heads, they were terrified to find an indifferent, slender male figure above the Titan Giant Mechanism, standing with an aura of dread!

At this moment, numerous red threads emerged from his body, connecting with the forming Blood Sea Prison!

The power of the Blood Sea Prison expanded along these threads, forcibly completing the unfinished Blood Sea Prison!

“What’s going on? That barrier was only a little formed before, how did it suddenly complete?”

“I lost connection with Awakening Space! Can’t escape anymore!”

“That figure… could it be that Divine Envoy?”

“A Divine Envoy of a Main God!”

They all knew that they faced a formidable tier unmatched by them—a Divine Envoy of a Main God!

But the government’s extensive preparations inspired risky thoughts.

However, this Divine Envoy appeared suddenly and completed a massive structure covering thirty kilometers in radius using five Blood Demons and the energy of eight hundred Blood Sea Giants, something originally taking fifteen minutes, and this overwhelming power far exceeded all expectations! Instantly spreading despair!

Some broke down, some trembled, others cursed Chu Xiu; if he hadn’t fled, Ashtar wouldn’t have broken the agreement and descended here! They wouldn’t be trapped!

“Calm down! The battle is far from over!”

At this moment, Zhang Zhengdao’s voice echoed, seemingly using Taoist Heart Clarity Spell, though simple, calming everyone down.

His words weren’t merely to soothe.

As Zhang Family Patriarch standing atop Huaxia, Zhang Zhengdao’s insight was far superior; he instantly recognized the threads as a tier completely surpassing his—the power of Rules!

Yet, since the other was a Divine Envoy, they naturally mastered Rules; though Zhang Zhengdao was also stunned by the Rule power, he wasn’t surprised, even quietly relieved.

“By the looks of this Rule power, it’s perhaps just the lowest Sequence Nine…”

The disparity among Divine Envoys could be as great as between Demigods and dogs!

A Main God’s Divine Envoy, at most, could reach Pseudo-God or Servant God levels—such power would seem godlike even to Demigods.

But luckily, the depth of Blue Star’s tier meant the Blood Pool probably saw no hindrance, so only a lowest-tier Divine Envoy was sent.

Of course, even the lowest-tier Divine Envoy wasn’t someone Zhang Zhengdao could handle.

But he could see, while Ashtar manifested beyond comprehension, completing the Blood Sea Prison instantly, it was mere facade; currently, the Blood Sea Prison’s maintenance rested solely on Ashtar, leaving him with no spare strength for other tasks.

“Before the Blood Sea Prison is entirely complete, this powerful Divine Envoy will be stationary, unable to act, else the Prison develops gaps and won’t prevent escape.”

“Thus, the true challenge is only the remaining two.”

With this thought, Zhang Zhengdao felt assured.

Those two had let Chu Xiu escape; could they be his match?

At most, they were two Strong Demigods with merely some peculiar Divine Techniques.

Mind clear, Zhang Zhengdao again channeled Heart Clarity Spell, loudly proclaiming:

“Worry not, though we’re trapped, the Divine Envoy has no surplus power; once I break the Prison, we shall escape.”

His words left everyone doubtful yet hopeful, but upon seeing Ashtar unmoving after completing the Blood Sea Prison, morale soared!

While not entirely freeing them from fear, returning to positions to continue fighting was no problem.

This boost in confidence led Zhang Zhengdao to coldly confront Ashtar: “Chen Ce has departed, and since your mission has failed here, is it your goal to eradicate us entirely?”

Ashtar replied faintly: “When have I said the mission failed? The task given by God will never be forsaken unless I perish.”

“What I’m doing now is seeking alternative methods to complete my task.”

Zhang Zhengdao said, “I don’t see any actions related to Chen Ce in yours.”

Ashtar stated: “Simple, since he’s forsaken the Corpse Demon World, someone must go to Blue Star to kill him for me.”

This statement left Zhang Zhengdao briefly stunned, then chuckled ironically: “Perhaps you’re being unrealistic.”

Ashtar replied: “I have my means.”

Indeed, he had plenty of means to compel obedience.

His greatest regret now was not applying those means to Chu Xiu earlier.

He initially thought no one would refuse such an offer, and with Chu Xiu’s esteem within the Blood Pool, future status far above him, daring not to offend.

Thus, he let Chu Xiu return without action.

Each reflection left him in remorse.

Now, controlling Zhang Zhengdao and others might yield a chance in Blue Star, where Chu Xiu unsuspectingly could be killed!

Even that chance wasn’t small! As Zhang Zhengdao, the Zhang Family Patriarch, commanded tremendous energy resources…

Zhang Zhengdao realized this too, face turning cold.

“Then power talks.”

His gaze moved from Lilith and Wu to the distant Blood Sea Prison.

Defeating those two would easily shatter the Prison, then Ashtar would face backlash, unable to hinder them afterward.

Confronting two who failed against Chu Xiu…

Zhang Zhengdao exhaled calmly.

Victory is possible!
