Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 2374 - 1083: Religious Con Men (3)

An absolute subordinate, fiercely loyal to the Evil God, responding to a divinity by instinct.

The deity's affairs are to be executed with utmost faithfulness, precisely as the Divine Lord wills.

Should the deity remain silent, one must not inquire, nor even dare to contemplate such a question.

However, Mr. Tu is no ordinary attendant.

Furthermore, his prolonged existence has endowed him with a convoluted mind and a heavy dose of suspicion; in but a fleeting moment, he detected an anomaly, his gaze sharply fixed upon Mo Hua.

Mo Hua perceived Mr. Tu’s scrutinizing eyes, his heart giving a jolt, surmising Mr. Tu might harbor doubts about him.

If Mr. Tu were to truly become suspicious, his manipulation would undoubtedly become a complicated affair.

Subsequently, the unfolding of events could also deviate significantly from his intended path.

Mo Hua's countenance remained composed, his gaze subtly shifting, gradually deepening as he studied Mr. Tu, as though attempting to penetrate his very being.

Then, Mo Hua, gently caressing Yu Er’s cheek, with a look both sinister and self-satisfied:

"The Master of the Great Wilderness selected this child as the Divine Fetus; how could I possibly be unaware?"

"Back then, to sever the threads of causality, you tasked the insignificant Bos Jiang with abducting the Divine Fetus. Alas, something went awry, and the Divine Fetus was spirited away by a mere passing cultivator, unnoticed by anyone..."

"You do not genuinely believe all of this to be mere coincidence, do you?"

"Can you venture a guess as to who was the one to save this Divine Fetus?"

Mr. Tu’s eyes narrowed slightly as he fixed his gaze on Mo Hua.

"You should be capable of discerning it yourself..." Mo Hua's gaze sparkled with a playful light as he looked at Mr. Tu, "Indeed, it was I, who personally rescued the Divine Fetus."

"Following that, I infiltrated the Taixu Gate..."

"The Shangguan family entrusted the Divine Fetus to the Taixu Gate for safekeeping, ensuring its peace and shielding it from nightmarish disturbances. It just so happened that this child was placed right beside me."

"In essence, for these past nearly ten years, your so-called 'Divine Lord' has essentially grown up under my direct supervision."

"He heeded my counsel, received my dedicated care, shared my meals, and resided alongside me. His nightmares were quelled by my intervention, the malevolent beasts were vanquished by me, and even certain remnants of the Evil God were personally dispatched by my hand..."

"Beyond that, the Bi Mountain Demon Cavern, the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, the Bloody Fishing Village, the Rouge Boat, the Dragon King Temple... each of these grim occurrences was orchestrated by my hidden machibles."

"I wielded the authority vested in your Divine Lord to permit countless demonic entities to invade the dreams of the Divine Fetus. When the Divine Fetus found himself tormented by the dreamscape, facing dire peril, enveloped in loneliness and helplessness, it was I who stepped forth to slay these demons and malevolent spirits, one by one..."

"From the very inception to the present moment, all of this causality, every single incident, has been entirely contained within the ambit of my elaborate schemes."

"This Divine Fetus regards me as the most cherished individual in his life."

"Now, your Divine Lord’s true essence has descended into this Divine Fetus, merging as one. Consequently, He too will perceive me as 'family.' Although He may currently be unfamiliar with me, the inherent instincts of the Divine Fetus are present, the causality binds us; as long as I meticulously cultivate this bond, one day He shall undoubtedly fall under my sway..."

"And once your Divine Lord places his complete trust in me, becoming subject to my absolute control..."

Mo Hua let out a faint smile, leaving the remainder of his sentence unspoken.

A shiver coursed through Mr. Tu, chilling him to the bone.

Within his mind, clarity suddenly dawned, unraveling every past enigma.

All of this, every single detail, was the cunning conspiracy of this 'Vicious God'!

From the absolute beginning, every event had unfolded precisely as His calculations predicted; He was the sole mastermind behind it all.

And the vessel chosen for this Vicious God was none other than this unremarkable Foundation Establishment cultivator standing before him.

It was no wonder...

No wonder that, regardless of how meticulously he investigated or how deeply he schemed, his efforts yielded only a vague bewilderment, devoid of any concrete leads.

He had been attempting to outwit a deity, a task naturally fraught with immense terror and virtually impossible to initiate.

Meanwhile, the target of his investigation was merely an insignificant cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, someone easily overlooked and dismissed.

No matter how thorough his preparations or how strenuously he pondered, he could never have conceived of linking a divine being with a lowly Foundation Establishment cultivator, connecting these two disparate identities.

And this very Foundation Establishment cultivator… nay, this Tai Xu Vicious God, had foreseen every possibility, unhesitatingly drawing His own divine form into the scheme to approach the 'Divine Fetus' destined for the Divine Lord's rebirth. His mind was exceptionally astute, His schemes possessed unparalleled depth, truly pushing the boundaries of terror to their absolute extreme.

Everything unfolding before them was entirely under the dominion of this 'Vicious God.'

Mr. Tu felt an overwhelming sense of dread welling up within his heart, gripped by profound fear.

Mo Hua, observing Mr. Tu's palpable 'shock' and his complete belief in his fabricated narrative, secretly exhaled a breath of profound relief.

Many occurrences within the Qian Learning State Boundary were merely him following a thread to its source, seizing fortuitous encounters by chance, and making blind deceptions to reach his current standing. How could he possibly have calculated such outcomes?

If his calculations were truly that precise, and his schemes that profound, the Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation would have been dismantled by him long before its inception.

And this Mr. Tu would have already been "calculated" to death by his hand.

Yet, in matters concerning Heavenly Mechanism Causality, sometimes a silver tongue, the ability to speak with conviction, and to justify one's actions convincingly is an impressive feat in itself.

At the very least, Mr. Tu seemed to believe it.

Not only did he believe, but his gaze now held a trace of "fear" towards Mo Hua, as if apprehensive of Mo Hua's foresight, his supposed anticipation of the current predicament, and the supposed "fatal trap" prepared for him.

When one's cultivation falls short, at least they can die with an understanding of the reason.

However, when one's calculative ability regarding Heavenly Mechanism Causality is inferior, sometimes even in death, they remain clueless as to the cause of their demise.

A sense of dread towards Mo Hua, this "divine being," filled Mr. Tu's heart.

Perceiving the opportune moment, with Mr. Tu's mental defenses weakened, Mo Hua's heart rate accelerated. He immediately adopted a solemn and dignified air, speaking like a "charlatan preacher":

"Submit to me, kneel, and I shall spare your life."

Furthermore, woven into these words was a subtle application of the "Planting Devil in Dao Heart" technique.

Mr. Tu's brows knitted tightly, his mind torn between the options of "slaying Mo Hua" and "kneeling to Mo Hua." His convictions faced an unprecedented, severe trial.

Alas, the disparity in their cultivation realms was simply too great.

This sliver of "Planting Devil in Dao Heart" possessed only a minor seductive influence. Even when sown amidst fear and faith, it could not sway Mr. Tu's fundamental will.

Just as Mr. Tu wavered, conflicted and indecisive, caught in a cycle of internal turmoil, uncertain of his choice.

A sudden clamor erupted from outside the grand hall, followed by the ingress of several immensely powerful cultivation auras.

Feather Transformation!

Mo Hua's expression shifted slightly, a "bad omen" dawning on him.

Disturbed by these potent cultivation presences, Mr. Tu also regained his senses, jolted from the subtle influence of Mo Hua's "Planting Devil in Dao Heart."

Soon, the auras drew increasingly nearer.

The grand hall's doors were blasted open by a formidable force, and a procession of cultivators streamed inside.

At the forefront of this group were three Feather Transformation cultivators.

Shangguan Wang, a traitor of the Shangguan family.

The Featherization Old Demon from Yin Corpse Valley.

And the Feather Transformation Sword Slave affiliated with the Demon Sword Sect.

Combined with Mr. Tu, who was also at the Feather Transformation Realm, the four most formidable demon path Feather Transformation experts on the Evil God's side were now all converged within this single grand hall.

A chill faintly crept into Mo Hua's heart.
