Chapter 1424: I Denounce You.

He thought he was behaving like an explorer looking for gold and was content to keep searching, even if most of what he found was useless sand. But a certain eye thought he was being a petulant baby trying repeatedly to reach a knife after being warned several times not to.

They had different opinions, and neither bothered to share it with the other. So, they stuck to minding their business.

They were minding their business when they heard a loud noise in the lower realm. The noise came from the Blessed Heaven World, and it grew louder. It sounded like a distant avalanche slowly getting closer.

The eye already knew what happened and didn’t care. But Loki didn’t know, so he made Black Loki pay attention.

As it turned out, he didn’t need to pay much attention to the issue because someone else alerted him to it. The strand of thought in the Divine Constellation of the Blessed Heaven World sent the full scene directly to him.

In the scene, the Blessed Heaven World was quiet. Then a pair of hands reached down from the sky to grab something in the first heaven.

The pair of hands were phantom hands made from power borrowed from the world. There was only one kind of being who could create arms like that in the Blessed Heaven World.

The phantom hands grabbed a layer of netting woven from golden chains just above the first heaven. They gripped the golden chains and pulled them up.

However, before the phantom hands could take the golden net away, the power of the world accumulated around them and solidified, trapping the hands.

Nothing happened after that. The Blessed Heaven World became silent and calm once more. There was only the frozen phantom hands holding the golden net.

Then someone roared, "Damn you!!!"

"Damn you, Tepid Scholar!" they roared again, their shout shaking the world.

As the world shook, the ground cracked, and earthquakes cropped up like weeds. The entire world was taking a beating, but the worst part was the first heaven. Both the phantom hands and the net they were holding were crushed.

Fortunately, the turmoil was short-lived. After the golden net was torn apart, the person who was shouting stopped. The world stopped shaking, and earthquakes smoothed out too.

But before everyone could move on with their lives, the person who had been shouting earlier proclaimed loudly, "From today hence forth, I denounce The Myriad Phenomenon Sect and its Dao Lord, Tepid Scholar."

The voice was loud, but it wasn’t angry, and it didn’t shake the world. It was more bitter than furious.

In response to the proclamation, another loud voice came from the divine constellation, saying, "Oh, come on. You’re being unfair. Ragnarok did it."

"He is a Gemini and can’t be trusted. I was only trying to correct his errors and undo his trap."

The Will of the World shouted back, "Do you take me for a fool?"

This time, the Will was furious, and it showed in their voice. As they shouted, the Blessed Heaven World began to shake once more.

"This is the part I hate the most. You expect me to believe that someone who has never touched something could tamper with it."

"Even if he did it, there was no way I wouldn’t notice, or you wouldn’t notice it. So either he was good enough to tamper with it without my knowledge and yours, or he had your help to do it."

"I am not a fool and don’t think a new Dao Lord could deceive you like that. To suggest it is to insult my intelligence."

"Alright, I’ll come clean. I did it, but it was for your good," Tepid Scholar finally admitted.

"I’m sure you wouldn’t want Black Chain to enslave you. My plan would have saved you from the misery of enslavement, so you should thank me."

But the Will of the World sneered and said, "I should thank you for installing a bomb in me without my knowledge? And who knows what other shady things you have put in it? You’ll pay for this, two-faced scholar."

Like a wrongfully accused gentleman, Tepid Scholar said, "It seems you have decided to be unreasonable. In that case, there is nothing I can do."

"I’ll leave you be. Fortunately, you can’t do anything to me. My Domain is already anchored, so we are stuck together for a long time," he finished and chuckled, amused by the Will of the World’s display of anger.

"Damn you, Tepid Scholar," the Will shouted again.

As the roar shook the world, the earthquakes grew stronger by the moment. Tsunamis rose and fell, battering the world. Sinkholes opened up everywhere, volcanoes erupted, and mountains crumbled.

Clearly, the Will of the World was furious. It became clearer just how furious they were when they said to every Dao Lord in the divine constellation, "I need someone to help me remove Tepid Scholar from my world."

"I want his Domain and his sect gone from the Blessed Heaven World as soon as possible. Who can help me kill all of his dsciples?"

The response was a magnificent silence. There were no crickets in the divine constellation, but Loki could have sworn he heard one chirping.

The silence was awkward on its own, but it also shocked the Will of the World. It didn’t expect the silence from this group of entities at all.

"Don’t you hate each other? Don’t you want to kill each other? Why are you silent?" it asked in confusion.

Loki knew why they were silent, so he said helpfully, "We’re currently busy trying to kill Black Chain in the upper realm."

"We’ve formed an alliance to kill him and can’t attack each other until that black-hearted villain is vanquished. That’s why I can’t help you."

"I see. That’s not a bad idea," the Will said, nodding. "I hope you succeed in killing Black Chain."

Then it turned to Black Chain and asked, "What about you?"
