The Celestial Mystery Emperor’s plan was grand and meticulous. Although each step was closely linked to the next one, the links were not designed as simply as one might assume. Even if one of the links broke, his plan would not be hindered. Otherwise, he would not be called the Celestial Mystery Emperor. His plan was constituted by several complementary but independent steps. If one went wrong, another one would replace it and keep the whole chain intact. This was his style. This was the means and power he would use.
The rumors Zhou Bao spread had ruined one of the steps, but soon another one substituted it. Or one could say there was no substitution at all because the situation pushed him to quickly proceed to the next step.

If I sabotage another step in his plan by making the Black Pearl absorb all the essence of the two exploded macro worlds, will I trigger the Celestial Mystery Emperor’s third step?


I don’t know. But I believe only a dumbass would let go of a profit, let alone such a huge one!
Ghost Child said.

You do have a point. Okay, should we get out of here now or not?




We still have time. Although the seven devils are pretty powerful, they still need a lot of time to break through the defense of the Sea-overlooking Gate Tower and force its macro world to implode. This should be enough time for us to find the Child-endowing Buddha!


First, we should pin down the location of the macro world that is about to blast!


I can find it!
Ghost Child shouted.
This place is soaked in deadly spirit. I’m highly sensitive to this kind of spirit. It won’t be hard to find him if we follow the spirit!


I hope so!
Zhou Bao muttered to himself. Following Ghost Child’s directions, he zigzagged through the labyrinth-like Tower for quite a while before finally reaching his destination.
This was the only place where you could find living creatures.
The living creatures here were actually Grand Demons in the Lord of Heaven Realm. They were subordinates of the Sea Emperor, who had domineered the Sea Area for thousands of years. Also, these Grand Demons were important figures in the Sea Area Demon tribe’s power structure.
These Grand Demons were so powerful that they could shake the entire Sea Area with a random stomp. But none of them looked happy now. In fact, they were maintaining a wondrous magic formation, and at the center of this magic formation was a drop of water.
This glittering and translucent droplet looked quite normal, but in Zhou Bao’s eyes, it was a precious treasure that made his eyes light up with lust.

This must be it. The Sea-overlooking Gate Tower’s macro world must be that droplet, right?
Zhou Bao asked with excitement.

Right, it’s the drop of water. This is the macro world of the Sea-overlooking Gate Tower—the Sea Emperor World!
Ghost Child answered.
It’s a dying macro world, which is very tricky!




I don’t have that much time to think!
As he spoke, a loud bang spread from the hall, causing it to tremble. Apparently, the Devil Tribe had launched another fierce attack outside. The Grand Demons’ expressions altered, their attention shifted to the bombarding noise momentarily. At this precise moment, Zhou Bao dashed into the Sea Emperor World.
The Sea Emperor World was a dying macro world approaching its ultimate ending. Zhou Bao had felt it from the outside. When he entered the Sea Emperor World, this feeling became stronger. All the Dharma seemed to have come to an end. Although Zhou Bao was only in this world for a few seconds, he felt that he had aged several years.

Holy crap, how twisted is this! By the way, since the Sea Emperor World is the Vast Sea Emperor’s territory, he is supposed to be the Fate Creator. We sneak in like this, he must have noticed, right?


Notice what fuk!
Ghost Child cursed dismissively.
The Sea Emperor World has no Fate Creator. It is a dying macro world. Even if it had a Fate Creator, he must have fled to start his reincarnation or revive in a new guise. He will cut off all the connections with this macro world or risk perishing together with it. The Vast Sea Emperor is just the controller. I’m certain he won’t be patrolling this World because the dying Qi here could impact him.


In other words, we can do anything we want here, right?


Yes, we can. But since it has already declined to this extent, it is too fragile to take a blow. If you continue much longer, you might ruin it. We’d better go and find the Child-endowing Buddha first! Are you sure he is really here?


He has to be here! I’ve sensed his spirit!

In fact, Zhou Bao could have done a thorough search with his sweeping divine thoughts. However, given that the Sea Emperor World was on the verge of collapsing; the endless spacetime around it was seriously broken, and rich death Qi implying that death was about to descend permeated every corner; Zhou Bao’s divine thoughts could not penetrate that far away. But thanks to the green lamp he carried, which had accompanied the Child-endowing Buddha for more than a million years and possessed an inseparable connection with him, Zhou Bao could vaguely sense the Child-endowing Buddha’s current whereabouts.
Although the whole world was filled with thick dying Qi which divine thoughts could not penetrate through, Zhou Bao had a general idea of the Child-endowing Buddha’s location in mind. He went in that direction and found him quickly.
He was sitting cross-legged on an isolated island in a vast sea with a bitter look on his face. A buddhist halo was shining behind his head, which surprisingly neutralized the dying Qi in his vicinity.



Yo-ho, aren’t you the Guide Taoist? Outside has been turned upside down, but you’re still enjoying yourself here!
At the sight of the sullen-faced Child-endowing Buddha, Zhou Bao revealed himself with a smile.

It’s you! How did you get in?
The Child-endowing Buddha was taken aback. He knew what kind of this place was. This was the Sea Emperor World, a macro world late in its life and about to die. He was sitting in the deepest place of the Sea-overlooking Gate Tower. If a man wanted to enter, he had to first sneak into the Supreme Fairy Weapon. The Sea-overlooking Gate Tower had turned on all its defensive functions since it was at war with the Devil Tribe. Even a mosquito could not get in, let alone a human being. Yet Zhou Bao had simply slipped in.

You think the Sea-overlooking Gate Tower can block me?
Zhou Bao laughed softly.
The war outside is in full play, the Devil Tribe has employed a Supreme Fairy Weapon to fight against the Sea-overlooking Gate Tower. It seems that they want a quick fight. The Sea-overlooking Gate Tower is already showing its weakness; it was quite easy to break in!


That explains it. Hee hee, it appears that the Devil Tribe still walked into the Celestial Mystery Emperor’s trap!


Or maybe not. If we hadn’t come, the Devil Tribe might have suffered, but now, we’re here, aren’t we?


You’re going to help the Devil Tribe?!


I’m not going to help anyone. Let both sides suffer!
Zhou Bao said coldly.
So tell me, is there any treasure here?


What damn treasure? It was you who released that rumor, am I right?


Yeah, it was me. But I reckon it’s not just a simple rumor, is it?


Of course not. Otherwise, the Celestial Mystery Emperor would not have allowed me to enter!
The Child-endowing Buddha paused for a second and went on.
Based on the current situation, even if I stay here, my safety is no longer guaranteed!




Stop saying rubbish! Do you want to get out or not? If you do, I’ll take you out. If not, I’ll beat you up and then take you out!


Fine, let’s go. If we don’t go now, we might not get another chance!
The Child-endowing Buddha forced a smile. Although he was a Grand Demon with a combat ability at the level of a Divine Immortal, when facing the Celestial Mystery Emperor, a mastermind of antiquity times, he was still too weak to strike back. That’s why he was trapped here. If he said he was willing to be trapped, he would be lying.

Are you sure it won’t cause further problems if you just walk away like this?
Zhou Bao asked. He knew that although the Child-endowing Buddha was forced to stay here, it was not impossible for him to break out with his own strength. However, he hadn’t done so, which meant he must have some secret sorrow that he was reluctant to discuss.

Humph, do you think you can leave so easily? Even if I get out of this damn place, I’ll still be in the Sea-overlooking Gate Tower. This is a Supreme Fairy Weapon! How can we get out?
The Child-endowing Buddha replied scathingly. There was definitely a trace of resentment in his tone.

You’re full of complaints. Are you going to strike when you’re out?


Don’t count on it. One of the articles in my Great Vow of the Heart Demon is to turn on the World Chakra when I receive the Celestial Mystery Emperor’s orders. So, I can’t just do whatever I want. Anyway, how could the Celestial Mystery Emperor have forgotten to prevent my disobedience?


So, even if you get out, you’re still under the Celestial Mystery Emperor’s control?


Not necessarily. If I go somewhere that I can’t receive the Celestial Mystery Emperor’s order, I will have nothing to do with the World Chakra!
The Child-endowing Buddha sniggered.
The rumor broke out so unexpectedly that even the Celestial Mystery Emperor did not foresee it. Thus, he merely ordered me to stay quietly in the Sea Emperor World for a while!


This time, he truly misjudged the situation!


Whatever! He can’t make me do the Great Vow of the Heart Demon again!
The Child-endowing Buddha gave a cold laugh, obviously loathing the Great Vow of the Heart Demon he had been forced to make.
Humph, just wait and see. Someday, I’ll force the Celestial Mystery Emperor into a Great Vow of the Heart Demon and lock him in a micro world with no means to break out!




Well, you’re quite ambitious. But for now, we’d better get out first. This damn place has too much dying Qi, I feel like I’m an old man now!
Zhou Bao laughed. He transported the Child-endowing Buddha into the Black Pearl and left the Sea Emperor World at the highest speed. They did this very furtively, so no one noticed the Child-endowing Buddha’s disappearance.
The outside of the Sea-overlooking Gate Tower was thoroughly enveloped by the Falling Star Reef, and half of it had already fallen apart. The seven Earthly Immortals from the Devil Tribe were roaring frantically as they fired at the remains of the Sea-overlooking Gate Tower furiously.

Crap, hurry up, the Celestial Mystery Emperor just discovered that I disappeared!
Zhou Bao wanted to watch where the war was going for a bit longer, but the Child-endowing Buddha’s divine thought fluttered over from the Black Pearl.
