Chapter 1589: Chapter 957: Hated by All

However, pressed to the ground by Tao Yu, Ross did not dare to have the slightest resentment, but pleaded in a somewhat lamenting tone,

“I don’t know how I offended you, Upper God. Please make it clear, and I will certainly correct it…”

Tao Yu glanced down at Ross, his eyes shining with Guanghui.

“Heh, you’ve been lurking around outside the city for so long; those Evil God believers aren’t related to you, are they?”

Tao Yu’s tone was casual.

Princess Tarona, who was about to say something, couldn’t help but change her expression, gradually becoming solemn.

“You misunderstand, Upper God! I was merely worried about the situation here and dared not appear rashly. I have always been very cautious. Yongling City is inland from my Coastal City, and the Flame of Civilization is interdependent and interconnected, ensuring smooth trade routes. If Yongling City falls, it is of no benefit to me at all…”

Ross spoke urgently, and his words were entirely reasonable.

This time, an incident occurred in Yongling City, and the Mist Whale appeared inland.

However, Tao Yu did not care so much. Although the disguise was good, and there wasn’t much aura on him.

But there was no doubt that Ross himself had a faint trace of Evil God pollution in his bones.

It should have been when he broke through a key point and borrowed the power of the Evil God.

Perhaps when he borrowed it, it was only with an exploitative and utilitarian mindset; he has since avoided the Evil God as much as possible, and has always controlled it well.

Even other Divine Spirits might find it hard to detect that faint evilness in his bones.

But Tao Yu is different, for even a trace is enough that he could never deceive Tao Yu’s eyes in his lifetime.

“The Fallen Saint of Yongling City has been under your nose for so long, and you let him manage such a critical rear. Are you really unaware? Perhaps, the path to the Evil God he borrowed was given by you, holding the most core secret of the other, allowing you to rest easy…”

As Tao Yu gazed at him and felt his emotional fluctuations, a confirmation was completed.

“Before, he could escape, but there must have been higher-ups receiving the news, telling him in advance. Let me think, since you’re so cautious, you likely didn’t personally set him on the path; you either arranged someone else or guided him covertly?”

The Divine Road Venerable has already touched upon the Abyssal Bottom Rules, with the will carrying the Divine Road, making a complete Soul Search very difficult.

But relying on the Kaji brought by the dreamers, Tao Yu could judge the truth through emotional fluctuations in these continuous probes.

Sentence by sentence, continuously testing, made Ross’s expression grow ever paler, ever more unsightly.

“…It seems, it is indeed so.”

Tao Yu stopped the questioning. Even though Ross had said nothing, he had been as transparent as an opened box to Tao Yu.

This instantly caused Ross, who was collapsed on the ground, to break down.

“To fabricate a crime, you have no need of words! You and that lowly Princess Tarona are merely plotting to seize the Empire! Let me tell you, it is wishful thinking! This disaster is your self-directed farce to drain the treasury and acquire rewards!”

He quickly added,

“Before I came, I had already contacted the lords of the Nine Heavens Divine Road to arbitrate fairness, and there are also lords in the Cabinet supporting me, with Divine Spirits behind me as well!”

Hearing this, Tao Yu also sighed.

“As expected, internal strife and external troubles…”

Then, with a twist of his fingers, Ross instantly turned into a pool of blood, a faint Authority coalescing and lingering, caught in Tao Yu’s hand and refined in an instant.

“Wind” is not purely some Wind Attribute magic; it already touches the elemental source of earth, fire, wind, and water!

Although this guy was merely on this path, accompanying his death, much of it dispersed, but as Tao Yu absorbed, his eyes brightened slightly.

“Not bad, it can be integrated into the Four Symbols Seal, though it disrupts the balance slightly. The other elements must also be replenished for it to work well.”

Then, Deification!

With newfound wealth in hand, both in the form of this fresh Authority, Tao Yu used it without a moment’s hesitation.

Yet beside him, Princess Tarona’s eye twitched slightly. Initially, she thought of using other means upon noticing the opponent’s odd gaze.

But who would have thought he was a seemingly flippant, yet truly ruthless character?

Without any evidence, after merely a few words, he would crush a dignified Divine Road power and blatantly devour the remaining Authority.

Is it because they have closely akin paths that can be borrowed for interpretation?

Wasn’t Ross a Wind Attribute…?

Yet regardless of the reason, Tao Yu in Princess Tarona’s eyes now was even more mysterious than before.

“Directly killing him like this will indeed cause undue trouble. If there was evidence, it would be better; otherwise, it might be reported to the All Gods Temple’s judgment by those with ulterior motives, which would not be worth it.”

Tarona reminded beside him.

“Ultimately, the world speaks by strength.”

Tao Yu chuckled lightly.

Even with complete evidence, lacking strength would lead to easy overthrow. As long as one is strong enough to suppress the people behind an opponent, bringing out a bag of laundry powder is enough for acceptance!

If no True God stands for Ross, then his death would be in vain.

If there is one, then it really depends on who’s stronger!

Tao Yu is currently uncertain how deep the roots of the Nine Heavens Divine Road go.

However, paper stats are unknown, but the front lines don’t lie.

With the Ming God fallen, they continually cover up the truth, with eyes always on the world’s core, then the limping Glory Empire.

This already predetermined their tier.

Though numerous, pseudo-gods occupy the majority, and four True Gods have already fallen.

So this field, Tao Yu believes he can hold.

As for within the Empire…

It’s still the prior issue; fearing the Emperor simply leads to covert maneuvers, not something beyond one’s capacity to handle.

“Just obtained ’Wind’, surely the ’Earth’, ’Fire’, ’Water’ exist here as well; the Endless Sea is truly a fine place, and I haven’t even entered it yet…”

In that moment, Tao Yu grew rather anticipative.

The matter of killing without cause to seize Authority is something he won’t do.

But if it lands in his hands, he can’t be blamed for it.

Destroying evil demons is a duty for everyone…
