Inside the inner city of Tiandu, Prince Huai's Mansion.

At this moment, within the study, King Huai's gaze was solemn. Gu Chen had left Tiandu for some time now, and he was waiting for the final news to arrive.

Although the Four Great Law Kings of the Six Union God Sect had taken action, conventionally speaking, Gu Chen was facing a dead end this time, a situation where death was certain, with no chance of survival whatsoever, undoubtedly fated to die.

As a powerhouse of the Coagulation Field realm, King Huai was naturally very clear about what it represented when four Coagulation Field realm martial arts pinnacle experts took action.

After all, how many people have reached the Coagulation Field realm in the entire Shen Zhou over thousands of years?

Four Coagulation Field realm experts taking action together against a young man in the Divine Passage realm was indeed unprecedented in Shen Zhou.

But, for some reason, King Huai always had a premonition that Gu Chen might not necessarily die.

While the Four Great Law Kings of the Six Union God Sect were formidable for breaking through to the Coagulation Field, Gu Chen's rise had also been filled with miracles, and even King Huai, his enemy, admitted that Gu Chen was certainly outmatched, but death wasn't guaranteed. There was a very high probability, or rather certainty, that he could escape.

As of today, King Huai knew that killing Gu Chen had become extremely difficult, unless he took action himself.

"It seems that I need to initiate my plan as soon as possible. I cannot delay any longer," King Huai's brows slightly furrowed.

Fortunately, the barbarian tribes were not weak. It wouldn't be so easy for Gu Chen to break through to the Coagulation Field. The affairs of the barbarians would give Gu Chen a headache for a long time.

Even, perhaps the barbarians could kill Gu Chen; none of this was certain.

After all, King Huai was very aware of Saranguis's strength, which was far from something Gu Chen could contend with.

"Good, keeping him tied down at the border of Yan State will make things easier for me to handle here in Shen Zhou. A Tower Supervisor may not necessarily be able to stop me." With this thought, a cold smile appeared on the lips of Da Xia's foremost prince.

"Tap, tap."

At that moment, King Huai extended a finger, gently tapping on the armrest. Instantly, a shadow darted across the floor, and a figure emerged in the study, kneeling on one knee.

"How goes the task I entrusted you with?" King Huai asked in a deep voice.

"Reporting to your Highness... no clues have been found yet," the secret agent replied in a low voice.

"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, King Huai's brow immediately furrowed.

"Please forgive me, your Highness!" The secret agent quickly knocked his head on the ground and said, "Your Highness, it is really quite difficult to carry out this task without anyone noticing, and the scope is too broad. Searching this way, bit by bit, will take a very long time. We have indeed been trying our best."

King Huai's expression was somber, and he remained silent, causing the atmosphere in the study to become somewhat tense.

He naturally knew how difficult this task was, especially since he had to keep it a secret from everyone, which only increased the difficulty.

"As I feared, is it impossible for me alone to attain this heritage?" King Huai murmured with a frown.

"Time is of the essence; it appears I must seek outside help." As King Huai thought this, he glanced at the secret agent kneeling on the floor and waved his hand slightly, saying, "You may leave."

"Yes." The secret agent quickly nodded, then his figure flashed and vanished from the spot.

At this moment, King Huai's gaze became intense as he looked through the window at the sky, his expression turning complex for a moment.

Once upon a time, he had loved his people like his own children and held grand ambitions to aid his imperial brother, the former Emperor of Da Xia, in uniting Shen Zhou and bringing order to the land.

But after learning the true nature of the world, King Huai despaired, and the Emperor chose to enter seclusion, vowing not to emerge until he had broken through to the Heavenly Human realm.

However, breaking through to the Heavenly Human realm was not easy at all, and even though the Emperor was a once-in-eternity ruler, his chances of success were extremely slim, something King Huai was very aware of.

Yet, in his heart, he still harbored a sliver of hope, waiting for the Emperor to leave seclusion, and this wait lasted over two decades, during which time even Crown Prince Ji Yuan had grown up under his guidance.

He had originally thought that upon the Emperor's emergence, he could suppress the world, eradicate demons and spirits, and preserve Shen Zhou, but after such a long wait, the Emperor had failed.

In that moment, King Huai's faith crumbled.

And it was at that moment that King Huai's goal began to change.

"Imperial brother, I think even if you knew all this, you wouldn't blame me, right? The world is crumbling, the nation is on the brink, Shen Zhou is beyond salvation. If that's the case, it's better to head to the higher realms and pursue my ambitions!"

This moment, King Huai's eyes blazed with determination. When he accidentally learned about the origins of Shen Zhou's foundations and possessed that particular heritage, his heart surged with unprecedented fervor.

As long as he obtained the heritage and ascended to the higher realms, he could rebuild Da Xia, and make the name of Da Xia echo throughout the entire higher realms.

This was King Huai's current goal!

He wanted to re-establish Da Xia in the higher realms, accomplish in the higher realms what he couldn't in Shen Zhou. King Huai aspired to fulfill his grand vision in the higher realms, to realize his ambitions.

"If Shen Zhou is indeed irredeemable, then it's better to let go. Everything I have given up in Shen Zhou, I will regain in the higher realms. Imperial brother, watch me..." King Huai's expression turned steely, his resolve unwavering.

As long as he obtained this inheritance, King Huai was confident that, even in the vast upper realm, he could forge a new world for himself.

For this belief of his, no matter who stood in his way, he would utterly annihilate them, leaving not even dregs behind.

For this belief, King Huai would resort to any means necessary.

"What a pity, Tower Supervisor, had you been willing to cooperate with me, how good that would have been. Together, we would have taken the inheritance as easily as reaching into a bag," King Huai murmured with some regret.

But King Huai also understood that he couldn't change the Tower Supervisor's mind. At their level of martial cultivation, each was incredibly resolute, with each individual pursuing their own goals.

"Too bad Gu Chen is also a stubborn fool. If you all had been willing to join forces with me, under my leadership, how could we not establish a new world and create anew?" King Huai said emotionlessly, having indeed held Gu Chen in high regard at first, intent on nurturing him to become his sharpest spear.

Even later on, when ascending to the upper realm, King Huai had considered entrusting major responsibilities to Gu Chen. Unfortunately, Gu Chen was utterly unappreciative and opposed him at every turn.

"Since that's the case, let's see who will be the ultimate winner. Tower Supervisor, your Heavenly Human Gazing Skill can't possibly see through everything, can it?" King Huai spoke to himself, his voice cold.

He was very confident in himself, of course, mainly because Gu Chen's current cultivation realm was not yet worth considering.

"The Coagulation Field is not so easily broken through. By the time you break through to the Coagulation Field, perhaps the situation in the world will have already changed." King Huai mused emotionlessly, "Perhaps it's really time to start my plan."

Meanwhile, on the other side, the barbarians were in discussion at the moment.

"Unless there's an unexpected development, the four Dharma Kings of the Six Union God Sect should have already clashed with that Gu Chen by now, right?" Yelanbar, the tribal chieftain of the barbarians, said with a cold laugh.

The High Priest Saranguis slowly nodded, his voice aged, saying, "With the precise location from the intelligence, looking at the time, they might have already determined the victor."

"Does the High Priest mean that Marquis Wu'an of Da Xia has already died?" Yelanbar asked.

"Perhaps." Saranguis nodded slightly, knowing that with Gu Chen's death, the entire border of Yan State would have no one to stop them.

"Da Xia is no longer to be feared now. I think we can mobilize our troops. Our warriors can hardly bear to wait any longer." A savage smile appeared on the face of Yelanbar, the tribal chieftain.

After pondering for a moment, the High Priest Saranguis said, "We can wait a little longer. Once we receive concrete news from the Six Union God Sect, it will not be too late to mobilize."

Upon hearing this, Yelanbar frowned and said, "What does the High Priest still fear? Don't you think that Gu Chen could survive in the hands of the four Coagulation Field experts?"

The High Priest Saranguis furrowed his brows.

Seeing this, Yelanbar added, "I feel that now is the best time for our tribe to go to war. Even if by some miracle Gu Chen did not die and indeed was miraculously unscathed, he would have been severely injured and lost the ability to fight. Our warriors could advance unopposed!"

With that, Yelanbar sneered, "Moreover, if Gu Chen really isn't dead and dares to show up, I wouldn't mind personally sending him off. He's just a kid, after all; I won't take him seriously."

"High Priest, don't hesitate any longer. Once the opportunity is missed, it's truly gone. What if Bastu from Da Yuan Country finishes his meditation? There would be too many unstable factors."

Upon these words, the High Priest Saranguis abruptly looked up, then after a moment of contemplation, nodded and said, "Fine!"

Seeing the High Priest agree, Yelanbar was overjoyed and said, "It's been too long since our sons have tasted the blood and flesh of the Central Plains people. This time, as we go to war, we will win every battle and conquer the Central Plains, pushing through all the way!"

"By that time, even if Bastu, the national master of Da Yuan Country, finishes his meditation, everything will be set in stone, and whatever he wants to do will be useless."

At these words, the High Priest Saranguis nodded. In fact, compared to Gu Chen, it was Bastu, the national master of Da Yuan Country, who was more of a concern to them.

After all, Gu Chen was merely in the Communicating with Gods realm, far too inferior to the master of Da Yuan Country, Bastu. The two were not even on the same level at the moment.

Besides, Gu Chen was very likely already dead, which made him even less of a concern.

"To war against Da Xia, to decide the fate of the Central Plains!" At this moment, Yelanbar, the tribal chieftain, was filled with fighting spirit, his large frame imposing. In his eyes, if the Tower Supervisor did not intervene, no one in all of Da Xia was his match.

That battle years ago was too suffocating, a total crushing defeat, and the entire barbarian tribe nearly perished.

Yelanbar never considered himself a magnanimous person. Now, having received the inheritance left by ancient gods and demons, his strength had advanced greatly, and he eagerly anticipated crossing the borders into the Central Plains.

In fact, in his view, whether or not to deal with Gu Chen was of little consequence, because Yelanbar believed that, as strong as Gu Chen was, he couldn't be his match in a direct confrontation.

What he and Saranguis truly feared was Gu Chen's potential. Naturally, the best outcome would be if Gu Chen was dead.

Yet even if he were alive, Yelanbar was confident that once the barbarians waged war against Da Xia, Gu Chen would definitely stand out.

Because without Gu Chen, no one on the border of Yan State could match him; Yan State would fall into barbarian hands in the shortest time.

And if Gu Chen dared to make an appearance, he, Yelanbar, the mightiest warrior of the barbarians, would tear Gu Chen apart in front of countless onlookers.

"Marquis Wu'an, the Butcher? Ha, you dared to kill 120,000 of my warriors. I truly hope you're not dead so that I can pluck your head myself, drink your blood, and avenge our great wrong!"

"Just wait, it won't be long till the whole Central Plains trembles under my feet, Yelanbar!"

At that thought, the tribal chieftain Yelanbar couldn't help but burst into wild laughter, his expression wildly arrogant.
