Chapter 790: Weaving the Web of Fate
However, the disappearance of “just” the God of Nightmares has caused much more turmoil than this.
The Parliament of Gods is a secret place somewhere. The light here is dim, which is very consistent with the characteristics of a place for secret organizations to hold meetings.
The whole structure is made of mottled stones in a circular shape, and the weathering marks on the grooves of the stones are enough to show its antiquity.
Every few meters there is a stone altar with a diameter of about five or six meters.
Wow!
In the altar, a pillar of fire suddenly burst out, and a vague figure was reflected in the blazing fire, which was not quite clear.
His appearance was like a signal, flames burst out from other altars one after another, and ancient figures quickly appeared here.
Soon, the number of fire pillars exceeded ten, and quickly reached twenty, and finally stopped at twenty-eight.
"Offa, what happened? Why did Storm and the other three suddenly die?!"
A deep voice sounded here, causing many pillars of fire to sway continuously.
In one of the fire pillars, an old man holding a magic wand responded: "I don't know what happened, they just acted according to the plan."
"Plan!? What a bullshit plan! If that guy Heiye hadn't made a scene in the parliament, we wouldn't know what happened!" another Ancient said in a deep voice.
"How could Shane be missing? Shouldn't you explain to us what happened?"
"I was acting according to the established plan. There must have been some mistakes in the process, which led to the current situation." Ofa explained.
"Then tell me, what kind of mistake happened?"
"Those councillors thought we were going to seize the thirteenth throne and were preparing to purge the gods they had cultivated. They were extremely nervous."
"A bunch of idiots!"
“…”
The chattering of many old people made the atmosphere here extremely noisy.
Offa looked around, and an old voice echoed here:
"Let's first discuss how to deal with the current situation."
"Shane is missing, and the council thinks we want to eliminate our competitors, so they have begun to keep a close watch on us."
"More importantly, the Xingyao Empire must be furious now. If the parliament believes that we are the attackers, they will definitely follow this clue to investigate."
A voice came from the pillar of fire next to the God of Arcane: "The Star Empire does not need to worry. Their power cannot penetrate into the parliament."
"But our forces outside are bound to be eliminated." Another Ancient added.
Unlike the incumbent members, the living space of these old members in the Gods' Council was squeezed very little.
Naturally, you will look to the outside world.
Although it is impossible to develop on a large scale, it is still possible to spread beliefs with the help of some indigenous myths and legends.
Including some affiliated organizations, they are considered a very important force in their hands.
"Then we have to go back to the most fundamental question. Who killed Storm and the others?" The voice of the Ofa took the lead again:
"There were only three parties involved in that attack: us, the Grim Reaper, and Shane..."
"According to the believers' feedback, the three Storm Gods are most likely dead, and Shane is missing. The only suspect is the God of Death."
"And the people behind the God of Death are Dragon Lord - Li Yu, and the alien dimension camp."
For Jiu Ri, an insider, it was not .
There were only three parties present, and after a little elimination we could know the target without any other evidence.
"Is it worth investing so much strength in a god of death?" Some of us were quite confused.
"So, Shane is missing."
"But they are cooperating well with the Star Empire. There are even rumors that the 'Iron Triangle' is going to dominate the interstellar space. Why would we rashly destroy this cooperative relationship?"
"Destruction?" The God of Arcane narrowed his eyes slightly: "Who said they destroyed it?"
"Isn't it enough to make the Xingyao Empire believe that they were not the attackers?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the scene fell silent, and many old friends seemed to understand something.
"They're going to let us take the blame for this!?"
The God of Arcane now understood why the God of Death asked them to ambush Shane. It turned out that he was looking for someone to take the blame.
"But the god of death seems to be dead too..." someone whispered.
"It's just a show!" another old man said firmly.
"Humph, they think too simply. They will spread the news that an alien camp ambushed Xia En." An old statue sneered:
"Contact the Star Empire and tell them about the Death God's previous plan to ambush Shane."
"Also, don't those guys from the Sun have a grudge against Long Zun? Tell him that Long Zun is in the Gods' Council."
"Dragon Lord is in the parliament?" Another of the Old Ones shook his head: "We don't have any evidence to prove this."
"But there is no evidence that he is not here." The God of Magic agreed with the proposal.
They won't be stupid enough to take the blame!
…
"You were so young and immature back then, and look at what you have become now !" Li Yu projected the photo of the two of them. One had a bright smile, and the other had a very forced smile.
Shane, who was trapped in some mechanical device, gnashed his teeth with a ferocious look on his face.
"Tsk..." Li Yu shook his head pretending to be regretful, and then said: "There is something I am curious about. Although there are many heirs to the throne of the empire, it is easier to plan for the throne of the emperor than to give up everything and come to the parliament to seize a seat as a member of parliament."
The ferocious look on Xia En's face gradually subsided and he became silent. He glanced at Li Yu coldly and said, "Don't expect to get any doubtful information from me."
"Or, you can just kill me."
"It's too much, too much...We are old friends, so why kill them or not?" Li Yu shook his head, seeming a little dissatisfied.
"Besides, your sister and I have a pretty good relationship."
As soon as these words came out, Xia En looked at Li Yu with murderous eyes and let out a low roar: "You dare!"
"I didn't say anything..." Li Yu made an innocent expression and spread his hands.
Mo Duo just watched all this quietly without any emotional fluctuations.
"Sir, leave him to me, I promise he will tell everything soon." Anthony walked up and whispered.
Shane sneered and looked at Anthony with contempt: "Where did this idiot come from? Why do you use such a bastard as your subordinate?"
Pure torture means nothing to him.
Anthony looked at Xia En with venomous eyes, but he could only retreat at Li Yu's wave, saying: "There is no way, the emperor and nobles are high above, and my subordinate has never come into contact with them."
"Humph..." Xia En still looked very defiant: "Truth will come to light soon. The news of your ambush on me will soon spread."
"You want to use the past as a scapegoat, but it's not that easy."
During this period of time, he also figured it out. Since Li Yu had such strength, he didn't need Gu's help in the ambush at all.
But he still let Mo Duo contact Jiu Ri, and his fundamental purpose was probably to find someone to take the blame.
Since he was attacked last time, he was the perfect person to take the blame.
"You don't have to worry about that..." Li Yu did not elaborate on this matter, and said: "In fact, I am quite curious about the technology of the Xingyao Empire to imitate the Throne of God. I wonder when I can see it for myself."
He said it casually, not even looking at Shane.
But when Xia En heard these words, his pupils shrank slightly, and a huge wave of shock rose in his heart.
How did he know this!?
He came here deliberately in hiding, and there are traces of this matter.
The old days' influence in the outside world was not small, and after comprehensive investigation, some clues were found, but it was nothing.
But the thirteenth throne was a replica, which was the secret of the secret man. No one knew it except him, the executor of the plan, and the core decision-makers of the Star Empire.
It is also unlike his lurking process that requires a series of personnel arrangements. The place where the thirteenth throne was built may now have become the ashes of the universe.
In order to increase the credibility, the Star Empire spent a long and meticulous time to lure Guixing into this trap and make Tigor the victim.
And how did Li Yu know this! ?
Li Yu's sudden revelation of this matter made Xia En suddenly confused, as if his inner support had been suddenly taken away.
What Li Yu really wanted to know was the connection between the 13th God's Throne and the Supreme Forge.
And why Shane was chosen as the executor of the plan.
However, he looked through the props and found that there were no props that could make people tell the truth.
Therefore, he wanted to get to the bottom of this matter, which was rather troublesome, and he could only pry open Shane's mouth little by little.
Unfortunately, after the Force transformation of people with "mental blockade", the idea of loyalty to Li Yu will be contradictory to their own "mental blockade", thus destroying the spiritual body.
Li Yu discovered this when he was thinking about inserting people into the upper echelons of the Star Empire.
After all, those who had been transformed before were all wanderers and low-level soldiers, so there was no such thing as "thinking imprint" or anything like that.
While Li Yu was thinking about how to design a script for Xia En, he suddenly heard a sound like a rope breaking.
"Um?"
He was slightly stunned, then looked around and found nothing unusual. After asking several people nearby, he found that no one else heard the sound.
"illusion?"
His expression flickered. At his level of life evolution, it was basically impossible for him to have illusions.
This means that something must have happened just now.
He used the [Infinity Gauntlet], and various colored gems shone brightly, but he still found nothing. He then used various methods but still couldn't find any clues.
I can only pick up the [Virtual Glasses] that I have kept at the bottom of the box, digitize my entire body, and then check if there are any new buffs.
After a series of data states, he actually found a new state.
[Weaving the Web of Fate: The Lord of Fate attempted to weave your fate, but due to some unknown reason, the weaving web of fate broke on you.]
Lord Destiny?
Li Yu's eyes moved slightly. This was a mysterious senator who was rarely active in the Gods' Council, but had a great reputation.
The other party was weaving his destiny, but he just didn't do it.
He was not surprised by this. He had several layers of protection on his body, not to mention the "system". Predictive methods were useless to him.
But... he turned to look at Moduo. He used a method similar to time and space sealing to forcibly cut off the connection between Moduo and his believers, creating the illusion of death.
Under the blockade of time and space, the so-called "fate" should also be isolated.
However, just as this thought came to mind, Mo Duo suddenly raised his hand, the smart terminal flashed, and a communication link popped up.
"Eh...how come this communication link..." Moduo seemed confused.
"What's wrong?" Li Yu walked up calmly and asked.
Mo Duo raised his arm. Li Yu took a look and his expression changed slightly: "Hunter?"
"yes……"
"Answer it and see what's going on... "
Mo Duo chose to answer the call. The next moment, the hunter's big face popped up. With a little hesitation on his face, he said, "Mo Duo, a friend just called me and said someone is looking for you. It's a Blazing Eye survivor."
"Friend? So you found one just because he asked you to?" Li Yu asked with a frown.
"How is it possible..." The hunter shook his head and said, "I scolded that guy and told him he didn't know what Modo was."
"Then I thought there would be no unexpected situations, so I notified you."
"Then why don't you call my link?" Li Yu asked again.
"Eh..." The hunter was stunned, and seemed a little confused: "Yeah, why didn't I hit you."
"What I was thinking just now was that I was looking for Mo Duo instead of you, but now that I think about it, it seems a bit weird."
Weaving destiny...?
Li Yu had some guesses in his mind, and then said, "Transfer the call to that number."
The hunter also sensed something was wrong and acted quickly, with the communication links being transferred layer by layer.
It was not until the signal was pushed back that the hunter realized with a tingling sensation on his scalp.
His friend was also entrusted by another friend, and after transferring at least dozens of communication numbers, he finally found the so-called "Fiery Eye Survivor".
Li Yu suddenly remembered a famous theory from his previous life: "Six Degrees of Separation". In theory, you can get to know anyone you want to know through just five people.
It's amazing, and it's similar to the scene today.
I chose video communication, and the person who popped up was indeed a red-eyed survivor of the Blazing Eyes, but his look and expression always had a sense of vicissitudes.
The other party seemed to have expected who would answer the call. He did not look at Mo Duo, but smiled faintly and said to Li Yu: "Sir Long Zun, we finally meet."
