Chapter 2969 - 2969: Heaven-devouring Rat

Listening to First God's plea, Heavenly Sect became anxious: "Father, you don't need to beg them!"

"Haven't you figured it out yet?"

"These Seven Great Heavenly Venerable, the Heavenly Dao Rules, the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet, they're all a scheme!"

"No wonder those strongest of the World Tree beings have never heard of the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet or the Heavenly Dao Rules; it's all fabricated to deceive us!"

Hearing Heavenly Sect's words, First God was even more alarmed: "Stop talking, stop talking, don't provoke them any further..."

Heavenly Sect shook his head: "Father, it's not about whether we want to provoke them anymore!"

"We've failed; in their eyes, we're useless trash."

"Even if we don't provoke them, the result will be the same."

"These Heavenly Venerable won't spare us at all!"

"Hahaha..." A cold, insane laughter suddenly echoed.

"Heavenly Sect, I underestimated you!"

"You do have some skills, being able to see through what we're planning."

"First God, at this age, have you already gone senile?"

"Your son is absolutely right, at this point, you all are worthless, keeping you serves no purpose."

"Even if you beg me, the outcome will be the same!"

Listening to this, First God was completely dumbfounded.

He thought that by pleading, by enduring everything himself, he could save his son's life.

Now it seems, he was overthinking it.

These Heavenly Venerable never intended to spare them from the very beginning!

Heavenly Sect looked furious, he turned his head and shouted angrily: "Where are you?"

"Come out if you dare!"

"So secretive, no wonder you resort to deceit, you're all despicable and shameless scoundrels!"

The cold voice resonated again: "Hahaha, I'm right in front of you, can't you see?"

"Heavenly Sect, you disappoint me greatly."

"After pouring so many resources into you, you can only reach this level."

"If I had known, I would have poured all those resources into a pig, the results might have been better!"

Heavenly Sect's face turned extremely grim; the person was speaking not far from him, yet he couldn't see them at all.

Could it be true as the Heavenly Venerable said, his strength was so vastly different from theirs?

The person was right in front of him and he couldn't see them?

Heavenly Sect gritted his teeth: "There's no need to speak such nonsense!"

"It wasn't you who chose us; it was you who deceived us."

"You lured us, made us work for you."

"Had we not been deceived by you, we wouldn't have ended up like this!"

"Our Three Thousand Great Worlds, countless lives, all destroyed by you in one fell swoop, what right do you have to insult others?"

"Hahaha..." Heavenly Venerable laughed wildly once again.

Heavenly Sect then witnessed the most astonishing scene.

In a soil pit in front of him, a rat slowly crawled out.

The rat spoke as it walked toward him: "Heavenly Sect, you've realized this now, isn't it too late?"

"Indeed, we lured you, but you also willingly followed!"

"Shouting about fighting for the Heavenly Dao, for defending the Heavenly Rules?"

"Hahaha, whenever I think about it, I can't help but laugh."

"The Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet, the Heavenly Dao Rules, were all created by us!"

"All in all, you're fighting for us!"

Although Heavenly Sect had already guessed this, truly hearing it from Heavenly Venerable still made him uncomfortable.

He gritted his teeth and glared at the rat in front of him, speaking in a deep voice: "Is this your true form?"

"So you're just a rat?"

The rat laughed wildly again: "Hahaha..."

"Indeed, this is my true form!"

"But this isn't just a rat."

"I am the Heaven-devouring Rat of the Land of Origin!"

As it spoke, a huge rat illusion suddenly appeared behind it, opening its mouth to swallow, tearing half the sky down and devouring it.

And in the air, a void directly appeared; this entire space had been consumed by it.

Heavenly Sect's eyes widened, though aware of Heavenly Venerable's formidable power, seeing it consume such a large space was still shocking.

To know that the space inside this coffin was strong.

It could resist the corrosion of the external black hole, showing the robustness of the coffin's interior space.

In this space, Heavenly Sect's power had been greatly weakened.

Yet the Heaven-devouring Rat could swallow such a large space effortlessly, indicating how terrifying its power must be?

Heavenly Sect exclaimed: "You... your true forms are all rats?"

The Heaven-devouring Rat's body slowly shrank, reverting to normal human size, standing before Heavenly Sect, looking at him with a smug expression.

"Firstly, I am not merely a rat, I am the Heaven-devouring Rat!"

"Moreover, each of us Seven Great Heavenly Venerable has distinct true forms, not to be confused!"

Heavenly Sect frowned deeply, gritting his teeth: "A rat is still a rat, what heavens can you devour?"

"You think giving yourself a domineering name hides the fact that you're a fraud?"

The Heaven-devouring Rat, unfazed, smiled at Heavenly Sect: "Do you know how my name came about?"

"Or rather, do you know my origins?"

Heavenly Sect sneered: "Hmph, what origin could a rat have?"

"Perhaps one left behind when an old World Tree withered, nothing to boast about!"

The Heaven-devouring Rat laughed toward the sky: "Heavenly Sect, you're truly pathetic!"

"Always so self-righteous throughout your life."

"That's one of the main reasons you lost to Su Yang!"

"Let me tell you, this Heavenly Venerable was born before heaven and earth, grown during the inception of all things."

"Before heaven and earth opened, this Heavenly Venerable had already been born."

"When there wasn't such an expanse of World Trees in this Land of Origin, this Heavenly Venerable was already born."

"Thus, we Seven Great Heavenly Venerable are the beginning of all things, the commencement of the world."

"We were born along with the Heaven and Earth Origin. And those World Trees, and all of you so-called lives, are merely products of Heaven and Earth Origin."

"This is the gap between us and you, one you can never bridge!"

Heavenly Sect's eyes widened, never in his wildest dreams did he imagine the Seven Great Heavenly Venerable could have such origins.

"You... you were born with the Heaven and Earth Origin?"

"How is that possible?"

Heavenly Sect exclaimed.

The Heaven-devouring Rat looked smug: "What's impossible about it?"

"It's simply the truth; we're of the same origin as the Heaven and Earth Origin. Hence, only we can control the Heaven and Earth Origin."

"As for you, in our eyes, you're indeed laughable ants!"
