Chapter 430: The Skull God’s Plan?
“He’s not that creepy, now that I look at him.” Lin Wu spoke upon seeing the skull of the skull god.
“Speak…” The Skull god spoke in a voice that was cold and airy.
“Okay, I take that back. He’s still creepy.” Lin Wu immediately changed his stance upon hearing the skeleton’s voice.
He had no flesh and thus no vocal cords. How he was speaking right now, was a mystery to Lin Wu.
“Aren’t undead skeletons supposed to have flames or something burning in their eyes or body? This guy is completely bare. If he was placed in a museum, one would think he was just a showpiece.” Lin Wu couldn’t help but say.
The subordinate of the Skull god nodded his head before continuing to speak.
“The traces of the Qi signature were found in an upper tier mortal world called as the Ming Dao world.” The subordinate spoke.
“Ming… Dao… World…” The Skull God repeated.
This was the word that had pulled Lin Wu’s attention when picking from thousands of memories.
“Here we go, let’s see what you have to say…” Lin Wu muttered as he watched on with full attention.
After a minute’s pause, the Skull God spoke again.
“Tell me more about this world.” The Skull God ordered.
“There are no particularly interesting points about this world, except for the fact that we also detracted signs of the Guardian beasts there.” The subordinate spoke.
~Crack~
Hearing this, the skull god gripped the handle of his throne tightly, breaking it in a second.
~gulp~
The other subordinates of the Skull god got scared and swallowed their saliva. They knew that their master was upset upon hearing this and they did not want him to let out his rage upon them.
While it was rare for their master to get angry, whenever he did, it would easily result in the death of several thousand beings.
“They are pests… putting their claim to each world… thinking they can be the rulers… everywhere…” The Skull god muttered to himself.
While others could not hear his word, Lin Wu could clearly do.
“Huh? Claim to a world?” Lin Wu wondered what the skeleton was meaning by this.
“How do you want us to proceed, my lord? We won’t be able to go there the normal way, our galleon will be blocked by the greater void’s barriers even before we reach the Ming Dao world.
And if we forcefully navigate through the void by taking a longer route, descending into the Ming Dao world would definitely bring the attention from the Guardian Beast temple. If their nearby branches detect it and send one of their members, we won’t be able to resist.” The subordinated explained further.
The Skull God steed silent for a while, as if deep in thought.
“This Ming Dao World… does it have any Immortal Ascension realm cultivators?” The Skull God questioned.
“From what we detected on the scans, there might be a couple of them. But this is not fully accurate as the distance between us and the Ming Dao world is quite far. We are in the Western Immortal Court’s Domain while the Ming Dao world comes under the Northern Immortal Court’s.” The subordinate answered.
“What of the guardian beasts… have they established their foot hold there yet?” The Skull god questioned.
“This is the better result we got. As far as we can tell, there are zero traces of them having awakened and no temple has been established there either as we can’t find it on the transmission network according to our spies in the Immortal Court.” The Subordinate answered.
Hearing this, the Skull god tapped his finger on the hand rest a few times before nodding his head.
“Good… at least they are still asleep. As long as the beacons have not been awakened, we still have a chance at this.” The Skull God replied.
“Please tell us how you want us to do it, Lord Skull.” The other subordinates of the Skull god responded this time.
It was evident that the Skull God was putting a lot of emphasis on this world and that meant they would have a chance at pleasing their master. The Skull God looked at his subordinates and thought for a bit before speaking up.
“Since going there on our own is not an option, and it being a mortal world prevents any immortals from entering, I shall have to send an avatar in.” The Skull God spoke.
~gasp~
All the subordinates of the Skull God were stunned upon hearing this and couldn’t help but doubt their ears.
“B-But my lord… that will weaken you… Are you sure you want to take this risk?” One of the wolf like subordinates of the Skull God questioned.
“I am… but we will not be doing it openly. No… that will be a death sentence and will invite the immortal court’s ire.” The Skull god replied.
“Yes, they have us on the blacklist. If any of us tried to send an avatar to any mortal world, the immortal Court’s Divine Scrying Palace will detect it.” Another subordinate that had the head of an ant spoke.
“Then how shall we do this?” The human subordinate of the Skull God questioned.
“We will have to muddy the waters first… while we are restricted in interfering in the matters of the mortal worlds, so are the Immortal Courts. As long as the one invading is another mortal world, they will not interfere.” The Skull God spoke.
All of the subordinates of the skull god listened with rapt attention, not wanting to miss anything.
“Spread a rumor about a hidden mortal world that has immortal treasures among the world travelers. Focus on the world with Ascension platforms that links with Mortal Worlds close to the Ming Dao world. The rumor should eventually find its way to the mortal worlds and they won’t be able to resist.” The Skull God explained.
“THE SKULL LORD IS GENIUS! No one in the immortal court will care for a world that has not produced any Immortals yet.”
