Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 1147 - 1140: Hidden Motives

"Shen Dai, how dare you come here today, if I don't strip your bones and soul..."

Upon seeing Shen Dai, Huo Shi's somewhat solid Primordial Spirit immediately erupted in curses.

The last time he saw Shen Dai, Shen Dai was in a Primordial Spirit state.

This time seeing Shen Dai, he was in a Primordial Spirit state.

Shen Dai felt confident in his verbal prowess and interrupted before Huo Shi could finish:

"Huo Shi, even if I, Shen Dai, did not destroy your physical body, you deserved it. You sneaked into my cave mansion and forcibly demanded my vast Great Stone.

We are both Realm Lords, how are you nobler than I? I am not your servant, why should I give you anything?

I merely said I couldn't give you the vast Great Stone, and you destroyed my recently perfected physical body, even my Primordial Spirit was destroyed by you.

If it weren't for the vast Great Stone saving my life, I would have long ceased to exist."

The hall was silent for a while.

Though Huo Shi was indeed the Second Realm Lord, he entered Shen Dai's cave mansion and destroyed Shen Dai's physical body and Primordial Spirit.

With such deep hatred, Shen Dai only brought people to destroy your physical body, what grievance do you have?

Moreover, although Shen Dai is a coward with no abilities.

You, Huo Shi, only have a Primordial Spirit left, not even better off than Shen Dai.

Mo Yuantian waved a hand: "Both Shen Dai and Huo Shi are at fault, let's not pursue this matter."

Everyone fell silent.

Though no one voiced opposition, Mo Yuantian's tone and attitude were not on equal footing with the other Realm Lords.

It was a stance of absolute superiority.

Back when we joined forces, it was said all Realm Lords of the First Universe are equal, none has a higher status.

Otherwise, why should we push Mo Yuantian to be the First Realm Master? Is Di Xin much weaker than you?

Even if Mo Yuantian wanted to say this, he should have sought everyone's opinion, not decided unilaterally.

Kui Feng spoke: "Di Xin returned and we still lack unity in the First Universe, which is a significant issue.

If we don't hold accountable for such underhanded activities and gloss over them with a few words, more such incidents might occur.

At this rate, the First Universe is worrisome."

Everyone looked at Kui Feng, surprised he would indirectly mock Mo Yuantian.

The implication was Mo Yuantian was not a competent Realm Lord.

Mo Yuantian coldly stared at Kui Feng, suggesting if Kui Feng were First Realm Lord, there would be no issues.

Even the usually inconspicuous Shen Dai spoke up:

"Mo Realm Master, I feel Lord Huo is severely injured. Furthermore, with Di Xin here, I believe the Second Realm Lord should be replaced."

Everyone looked in disbelief at Shen Dai, who had just escaped danger.

Not only did he try to gain recognition, but he also suggested removing Huo Shi as Second Realm Lord.

"Who do you think you are? How dare you disrespect the Second Realm Lord?"

Bu Shi immediately reprimanded in anger.

No one was surprised, as Bu Shi was Huo Shi's servant, and someone dared to suggest his Lord should step down.

Shen Dai always knew Bu Shi was the true power, so he was nonchalant.

Even if the Realm Lords left him alone today, he wouldn't escape Bu Shi's pursuit after leaving.

"Bu Shi, you cannot deny Huo Shi's physical body was destroyed, and his Primordial Spirit is trapped. I am sure you have been to Huo Shi's cave mansion.

After seeing Huo Shi's state, you still pretended not to know. And now at Mo Realm Master's meeting, you feign concern.

Bu Shi, ask yourself, can't you really unlock Huo Shi's Dao Line, or do you simply refuse?

What's your agenda, I can't fathom. But to plot against your master, you must not have any good intentions."

Hearing Shen Dai's outrageous retort, Bu Shi almost couldn't resist killing him on the spot.

However, his current status wasn't actually higher than Shen Dai's.

"Shen Jie Master, since you propose appointing a new Second Realm Lord, you must have a good candidate?"

Unexpectedly, Shang supported Shen Dai again.

If no one acknowledged his words, he would be left speaking to himself, awkwardly.

Shang's response validated Shen Dai's proposal.

Shen Dai immediately said: "Yes, I believe Di Xin is about to arrive, and everyone knows who Di Xin is.

To deal with Di Xin, we must select a powerful individual to strengthen us.

You all should know the Ding Huan I mentioned earlier?"

"You want to select an Outer Universe cultivator as our Second Realm Lord?" Mo Yuantian's tone was icy.

Shen Dai bowed: "Mo Realm Master, regardless of 'Outer Universe cultivator', we all hail from the Ten Directions Universe under the vastness.

As long as one is capable of maintaining the First Universe's stability, whoever becomes the Second Realm Lord is the same."

This time, Shang did not support Shen Dai.

He smiled, eager to see how Bu Shi would handle Shen Dai.

Everyone knew Second Realm Lord Huo Shi was a puppet, the real mastermind was Bu Shi, even if others didn't know, Shang certainly did.

"Shen Jie Master, where is Ding Huan now?" Kui Feng asked.

"He's in closed-door training at Eyebrow Stone." Shen Dai unhesitatingly revealed Ding Huan's retreat location.

He knew that even if he didn't want to say, he had no choice.

Having come here and said so much, there's no way not to disclose Ding Huan's training place now.

"Alright, in that case, let's head to Eyebrow Stone and meet Ding Huan."

Mo Yuantian did not reprimand Shen Dai further.

No matter how strong Ding Huan is or where he's from, daring to seize Dou Ling's cave mansion is a death sentence.

Mo Yuantian's initial thought was to have everyone discuss how to deal with Di Xin.

In this short time, he realized that even if there are only seven of the Ten Great Realm Masters left, plus a Primordial Spirit,

those who can support him would likely be no more than two.

If he continues to demand everyone deal with Di Xin, it would backfire.

To establish his authority, he must first capture Ding Huan.

Mo Yuantian led the way, followed by the others, on the journey to Eyebrow Stone.

Although they could all sit on a single Flying Treasure, at this moment, there was no trust whatsoever among the Realm Lords.

Eight Realm Lords, seven Flying Treasures.

The reason for seven is that Shang surprisingly invited Shen Dai to his Flying Treasure.

Oddly enough, Shen Dai, the weakling, actually agreed.

"Thank you, Brother Shang, for speaking on my behalf. If it weren't for you, I'd have escaped disaster today."

Shen Dai previously felt ashamed calling everyone he met "Brother," but now it came naturally; anyone passing by would be his brother.

Shang laughed heartily: "Brother Shen, no need for formalities; we're both First Universe Realm Lords. Naturally, I won't let them speak nonsense."

Upon hearing this, Shen Dai felt a weight lifted off his shoulders.

Since becoming a First Universe Realm Lord, which Realm Lord ever took notice of him?

Let alone call him Brother Shen.

Shang calling him Brother Shen really gave him face.

At this moment, Shang added another layer of sound isolation restriction to their conversation space.

Then he asked, "Brother Shen, can you possibly contact Mr. Ding Huan?"

Shen Dai stared blankly at Shang, not comprehending what Shang meant.

Seeing Shen Dai silent, Shang directly asked, "Brother Shen, if I'm not mistaken, you should know Lord Huo is a fake Second Realm Lord, right?

The true Second Realm Lord should be Lord Huo's servant Bu Shi, correct?"

Shen Dai was shocked but then considered what he had to lose?

"Yes, I do know; Mr. Ding told me." Shen Dai straightforwardly admitted.

Shang chuckled internally, thinking it would be odd if Ding Huan hadn't told him.

With your brain and limited cultivation, could you discern Bu Shi's true strength compared to Lord Huo's facade?

Chuckling inside, Shang outwardly said knowingly, "So Mr. Ding has such keen observation; did he also kill Dou Ling?"

Shang didn't believe Dou Ling was killed by Shen Dai in a sneak attack.

If Shen Dai had such skill, Dou Ling wouldn't have trained in Shen Dai's cave mansion.

At their level, failing to see that would disqualify them as First Universe Realm Lords, except for Shen Dai, of course.

"Yes." Shen Dai felt as if he had no secrets before Shang.

Shang's tone suddenly became grave, "Brother Shen, hasn't Mr. Ding yet reached the Ninth Step of the Great Dao Realm?"

Only in the World of Gods do those unable to progress further believe the Seventh Step is the Master of the Universe.

In fact, the Seventh Step is merely a Universe Saint, quite far from the Master of the Universe.

In the First Universe, the Ninth Step of the Great Dao is the actual Master of the Universe.

After pondering briefly, Shen Dai said, "I'm not certain of Mr. Ding's exact cultivation. I speculate he's likely still in the Eighth Step Eternal Life Saint Realm, some distance from the Master of the Universe."

Shang looked at Shen Dai with a tone of camaraderie, "Brother Shen, the First Universe is about to undergo a great change. I want to form an alliance with Mr. Ding.

Once Mr. Ding steps into the Ninth Step as Master of the Universe, could you let him know to meet with me?"

If Ding Huan defeated Dou Ling as a Ninth Step Great Dao Saint, Shang would have paid him no mind.

But to kill Dou Ling at the Eighth Step is something even Shang couldn't achieve.

The gap between the Eighth Step Eternal Life Saint and the Ninth Step Master of the Universe isn't merely one realm apart.

It is a vast chasm between an ordinary cultivator and a king.

Moreover, crossing into the Ninth Step is like bridging an immense chasm.

Shang didn't know about others, but he knew he could never cross into the Ninth Step.

Shen Dai instinctively asked, "Why not now?"

Shang felt speechless; no wonder this guy repeatedly lost his physical body.

Still, patiently, Shang explained, "Mr. Ding is probably in closed-door training now. Only when he reaches the Ninth Step will he have time to meet me."

Shang was certain a strategic person like Ding Huan wouldn't meet him unless his cultivation and strength exceeded Shang's.

"Alright, I guarantee I'll convey this matter." Shen Dai affirmed, patting his chest.

He had Ding Huan's Communication Bead on him.

(Good night, fellow Daoist!)
