"This time, I’ve summoned you back to incite the Silent Annihilation calamity."

"Ji Jingqiu’s World Venerable status is very valuable, so I need a plausible reason to let him join the Heavenly Court without raising any issues publicly."

The shadow instantly understood Dou Mu’s meaning and asked:

"Should we take this opportunity to kill a few True Saints? This would also become leverage against him. If he chooses to betray us, and this matter is exposed, all the factions will realize that he colluded with us to harm his own people. Who would still support him then? He would struggle to find a foothold in the Sea of Realms."

"I do have this idea, but not to leverage Ji Jingqiu." Dou Mu glanced at him, "If you expose this information then, wouldn’t we be exposed too?"

The shadow said calmly, "You are close to the final step now. Once you reclaim your position of Transcendence, exposure is trivial, isn’t it? On the contrary, he will thoroughly offend both sides. Then, no matter how vast the Sea of Realms, there will be no place for him to hide."

"By the way."

The shadow suddenly changed the topic,

"On my return, I encountered some interesting fellows that you might want to meet. Since you are plotting for the Great Dao Fruit Position of the Netherworld Lord, you should also make contact with the Nether Mansion. The Reincarnation Hall there is very important."

"You brought back people from the Nether Mansion?" Dou Mu raised an eyebrow, only then noticing a wound on the shadow’s chest.

The shadow waved his hand, and a figure fell out from the void.

It turned out to be Zhang Tiancheng!

"I met Luo Hou’s younger brother." The shadow said lightly, "He carries the Divine Weapon left by Luo Hou, and I was inadvertently injured by it."

"Luo Hou, the Demon Ancestor, a future Great Dao Ancestor?" Dou Mu squinted, though haughty, she wouldn’t underestimate any Great Dao Ancestor.

"This fellow is very interesting, with a special constitution, likely a vessel prepared by the Nether Mansion for the Netherworld Lord."

The shadow looked down at the imprisoned Zhang Tiancheng.

"Where did you see Luo Hou’s brother?" Dou Mu suddenly asked.

The shadow raised his head in surprise, his expression strange, "Are you trying to pull Luo Xuan into the Heavenly Court as well, now you’ve tasted the benefits?"

Dou Mu smiled and said:

"Why not? Once I recover my full strength, the three Great Dao Ancestral Lands: Heavenly Prison Palace, Void Realm, and Void Realm are places I must visit sooner or later."

"In consideration of his brother, I will give him a position, but if he doesn’t cherish it, then death is just death."

The shadow nodded slightly and said, "As you wish. I’ll start preparing at the seal site, you should prepare to suppress the disasters and calamities. How about this little fellow?"

Dou Mu looked away indifferently and said, "You handle it yourself, do you expect me to deal with such trivial matters? What use are you to me then?"

The shadow said no more, left a coordinate for Dou Mu, then turned around and left.

Not long after.

A hoarse, low voice sounded by Ji Jingqiu’s ear.

"World Venerate Ji, it’s up to you to decide the target of the Silent Extinction Tide."

Ji Jingqiu’s eyes were deep, it’s come?

His gaze roamed through the palace and finally landed on several True Saints, including Tuo Hai, who had all been representing the Heavenly Court in the recent debates among All Saints.

After hearing Ji Jingqiu’s chosen targets, the shadow fell silent for a moment because among them were those they had previously attracted; how had this World Venerate chosen them? Coincidence?

"Switch a few targets." The shadow suggested, while secretly observing the demeanor of this World Venerate.

Is this really Emperor Yi’s supported candidate?

Ji Jingqiu said indifferently, "These few have consistently opposed me, it’s most suitable to deal with them in advance."

In silence, the shadow chose to contact Dou Mu.

"Let him be." Dou Mu replied casually, although uncertain how Ji Jingqiu had selected these few, she valued this "World Venerate" more by comparison.

Meanwhile.

Dou Mu also reached a group of people trying to carve out their own path, led by Luo Xuan.
