The Divine Martial Stars Chapter 833 - Only Heaven Knows Who Will Win

Chapter 833 Only Heaven Knows Who Will Win

Qinling was a world filled with green hills and clear waters.
This world was vast and boundless.
“I still can’t understand why the people of the six major clans insist on wanting to return to Earth. They’re living a carefree life in the Ziwei Star Zone. Moreover, they clearly know that the descendants of gods have revived and are powerful and they might even be wiped out. Why do they want to come to Earth to die?”
In a deep valley, Li Mu finished regulating his breath. The rock beneath him was dyed red by his blood.
After Li Mu and Bi Yan escaped from the Space of Keys, they ran helter-skelter all the way and in the end, they found a relatively secluded place to rest and recover from their injuries.
Bi Yan leaned on a clean piece of white rock and looked at Li Mu quietly. She said, “In fact, all of you have been fooled.”
Li Mu was surprised. “What do you mean?”
Bi Yan said, “The ones who really want to go back to Earth are not the ancestors of the six major clans or the masters of various races and clans. They are actually the gods standing behind the six major clans.”
“The gods standing behind the six major clans?” Li Mu became more confused. “The ancestors of the six major clans are the supreme rulers of the Ziwei Star Zone, aren’t they? How could there be gods standing behind them? Could it be that...” A terrifying thought flashed through his mind.
Bi Yan said, “The Ziwei Star Zone has always been under the control of the gods of the six major clans. It’s just that they have never shown their faces. Even if something shocking happened, they still wouldn’t show up, and only the ancestors of the six major clans would be the ones to deal with it. In the history of the Ziwei Star Zone, those gods standing behind the six major clans have never left any trace, so no one knows if they actually exist.”
“What the f*ck.
“Is that real?”
For a moment, Li Mu didn’t know what to say.
“Is there such a thing?”
However, he should have thought of this a long time ago.
The logic was simple. If everything was really controlled by the ancestors of the six major clans, there should be other gods other than Bi Yan, who was the Green Fox God. Logically speaking, as a goddess, Bi Yan’s status should be higher than those of the ancestors of the six major clans. Now that the Green Fox Tribe had a god, the White Fox Tribe, the Demonic Snake Abyss, the Heavenly Deity Clan, and other clans and tribes should have their own gods, shouldn’t they?
“If those gods really exist, why do the ancestors of the six major clans have to go out of their way to kill Bai Jun the God of War and get his divine blood to prepare for their return to Earth? They just need to ask the gods standing behind the six major clans to give them some divine blood.” Li Mu rubbed his temples. He still seemed to be confused about something.
Bi Yan shifted her body and leaned against the piece of rock. “That was just a show.”
“A show?” Li Mu felt bewildered.
Bi Yan nodded.
Now, she wanted to tell Li Mu everything she knew. She said, “They put on a show for the outsiders to watch. They intended to make the gods on Earth think that the gods standing behind the six major clans have completely disappeared and only the followers of those gods like the ancestors of the six major clans, whose ambitions prevail over their minds, have been left struggling in vain in the Ziwei Star Zone.”
“Wait a minute. That doesn’t make sense.” Li Mu became more and more confused. He said, “Any show needs an audience to achieve the intended effect. They worked so hard to put on a show in the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm, but who would watch the show? Can the gods on Earth see everything happening in the Ziwei Star Zone? Or...”
In the end, Li Mu thought of another possibility.
“Could it be that they put on the show for me to watch?
“That’s not right. At that time, my identity was not revealed.”
“I didn’t know about it until later,” Bi Yan said, “The gods of the Dark Yellow Clan on Earth were sealed at that time. Even if they revived, they couldn’t see things that were so far away from them. However, there was a spy deployed by the gods on Earth in the Ziwei Star Zone. The show was for that spy to watch.”
Li Mu suddenly remembered what happened in the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm.
At that time, the images of what happened in the past were displayed on the scrolls in the sky from the perspective of the six major clans. The reason given by the ancestors of the six major clans was that they wanted to show what happened in the past and thereby stir up the divine blood of Bai Jun the God of War so that the blood could be burned and reach its best state, and that they could then kill him, get his divine blood, and integrate the blood into their bodies.
However, according to what Bi Yan said, it seemed that the ancestors of the six major clans displayed those images on the scrolls in the sky for a more important purpose. They wanted to send a message to the gods on Earth through the spy to make the latter think that the gods standing behind the six major clans had really disappeared and even the six major clans didn’t know the existence of those gods. As a result, the gods on Earth would relax their vigilance.
Li Mu carefully recalled everything that happened in the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm. The more he thought about it, the more suspicious he became.
On hindsight, as he thought carefully about everything, he felt that he could prove what Bi Yan said was the truth.
“There’s another question.
“Who is the so-called spy deployed by the gods on Earth?
“This person must be in the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm at that time.
“Otherwise, he wouldn’t have seen the scrolls in the sky, and the six major clans wouldn’t have achieved their goal.
“On top of that, he must have gotten out of the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm alive after the big massacre in there.
“After all, if he were dead, he wouldn’t be able to transmit what he saw back to Earth as the ancestors of the six major clans wished.
“The people meeting these conditions... Um, there are many such people.”
Li Mu racked his brains, but he still couldn’t figure out who it was.
Back then, many Heavenly Legends from various clans and sects entered the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm. Although the majority of them died during the exploration, tens of them managed to get out of the place alive in the end. It was impossible to determine which one of them was the spy.
Moreover, Li Mu believed that the gods standing behind the six major clans only had a rough idea of the possible candidates, but they didn’t really know which one was the spy. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have spent so much effort displaying those images on the scrolls in the sky.
Li Mu shook his head and stopped thinking about the matter.
The information given to him by Bi Yan made him feel a little flustered.
He thought that the communication between Earth and the Ziwei Star Zone had been cut off for thousands of years and there had been no contact between Earth and the Ziwei Star Zone at all. He thought that he was the only one who once lived both on Earth and in the Ziwei Star Zone and knew about those two places... But now, it seemed that he was wrong and everything was more complicated than he had imagined.
The gods played a chess game. The players on both sides were gods.
The living beings, including martial arts masters like the ancestors of the six major clans, were just chess pieces on the chessboard.
Li Mu was a chess piece too.
To put it nicely, Li Mu was a chess piece beyond the expectation and control of the players on both sides.
Li Mu had done so many things, but what he had done didn’t affect the overall trend of this game.
“This world is so complicated. Mom, I want to go home.”
Li Mu couldn’t help sighing with emotion.
At the same time, he realized something else.
“If there really was such a spy, my identity would probably be exposed soon after the battle in the six major channels.
“However, that’s not a big deal anyway.”
He breathed a sigh of relief and said, “You just said that all of us had been fooled. Why is that? Is this battle just a test or another show?”
Bi Yan nodded and said, “I don’t know the details, but I’m basically sure that even though you have gotten the keys and killed the ancestors of the six major clans, the gods standing behind the six major clans have already come to this world through the channels during the battle.”
Li Mu gasped.
“How could they manage to deceive everyone?
“Have they really put on a show and come to the Earth in secret?
“In this case, it means that the successors and even the true controllers of the six Divine Clans have been fooled, too.
“In the so-called battle of the six major channels, the ancestors of the six major clans seemed to have been defeated and killed and lost the divine key fragments, but in fact, the six Divine Clans lost the battle completely.”
Li Mu couldn’t help sighing with emotion.
“The gods standing behind the six major clans were really beyond generous. They sacrificed their loyal dogs like the ancestors of the six major clans, who were high-level masters in the Upper King Realm, and six key fragments without any hesitation just for the purpose of coming to Earth.
“What do they want?
“Without the key fragments, they couldn’t get the divine treasures hidden in the immortal palace even if they came to Earth.”
Li Mu smiled wryly as he thought.
“What the f*ck!
“Why should I care about those damned things?”
He initially thought that with the six Divine Clans there to contend against the six major clans in the Ziwei Star Zone, Earth would be safe. He thought that he had fulfilled the goal he had been pursuing, which was to protect Earth. After all, no matter what moral standings the successors of the six Divine Clans had, at least their stance was closely related to the fate of Earth.
That was why Li Mu spared no effort to save Bi Yan.
He no longer needed to shoulder the heavy responsibility.
Earth no longer needed his protection.
He no longer had to treasure himself as much as before.
Of course, that was not definite.
Other than Earth, many of his relatives and close friends like Hua Xiangrong still needed his protection.
He didn’t think that he could be considered as an absolutely righteous man, but he knew what he should do and what he shouldn’t do. Back then, Bi Yan tried to protect him at all costs in the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm. For that, he had to take action today.
It had nothing to do with love.
It was about his principle of conduct.
“How are your injuries?” Li Mu asked. “We’ll have to move on after a short break. I was seriously injured and failed to hide my aura. I left traces along the way. The people of the six Divine Clans will soon catch up with us.”
Bi Yan’s face was no longer as pale as before. She got up slowly, frowned slightly, and said, “I’ve restored twenty percent of my natural Qi and opened my meridians. I can move now.”
Li Mu nodded.
On his body, there were countless wounds, including five or six deep ones. Fortunately, the broken bones had basically healed. There were only several stress fractures that didn’t hinder his movement.
He stood up and stretched himself.
“We’d better find a place to hide and heal our injuries first. We can think about what to do later. It would be the best if I could get you out of Earth and send you back to the Ziwei Star Zone. You’ll be safe only when you stay in the Star River. On Earth, there are too many people who want to hunt you down, so it will be very difficult for you to find a place to stay.”
In order not to get Song Changlin, Wang Menghu, and the others into trouble, Li Mu didn’t take Bi Yan to the base in Mount Tianxuan.
He thought carefully for a while and finally gave up the idea of going to Randeng Temple.
The main reason was that the old faker was in a very strange state now. The old faker said that he was practicing hand-to-hand meditation, but that was just an excuse. If he was no longer a good fighter, he would be killed when the people of the six Divine Clans came to Randeng Temple. That would really be killing two birds with one stone. After all, the old faker had offended the six Divine Clans back then.
For the moment, the only feasible plan for Li Mu was to stay in the vast world of Qinling while dealing with the people of the six Divine Clans.
Suddenly, Li Mu’s face changed. He looked to the east and said, “How could they move so fast? Let’s get moving.”
