Chapter 662: All Turned into Eunuchs!

By this time, Misha and the others nearby had already gathered around curiously.

At first, they thought he was someone knowledgeable about the strange folklore of Riverbend Town. Then, talking to the little girl, he suddenly changed the topic and directly mentioned the Ninth-Tier world. They wondered: Could it be that the folklore, which prohibits killing chickens, is connected to the legendary Ninth-Tier world by some enormous secret?

This made them short of breath. The Ninth-Tier was a secret beyond their comprehension as mere Fifth or Sixth-Tier powerhouses. Even Epic Arcanists might not know about it.

But now, as he spoke, his words grew more shocking, especially this sentence:

When Heaven releases its murderous intent, stars shift, constellations change.When Earth releases its murderous intent, dragons and snakes rise from the ground.When Man releases his murderous intent, Heaven and Earth are overturned.

Misha's entire body and mind began to tremble uncontrollably. "Good heavens!" she thought. "Where did this Arcanist come from? Talking about the Ninth-Tier world was one thing, but now he dares to discuss Heaven and Earth! And comment on the Three Pillar Gods, who are beyond comprehension!"

She felt terrified, inexplicably uneasy, and her heart pounded. "Doesn't he fear divine retribution?" she wondered. "The Pillar Gods can sense the destinies of all living beings!"

What was this situation comparable to? It was like fish in a stream, accustomed to flowing with the current, boldly leaping out of the water to mock and criticize the three mysterious beings fishing in the stream.

In other worlds, discussing the Way of Heaven, speaking treasonously, or uttering rebellious words is not an issue. But in the Ancient Lava Land, merely speaking this way will cause you to be noticed by the unseen Pillar Gods.

The Pillar Gods are benevolent and perfectly rational. If you are a key figure in the world's main destiny and useful for advancing its era, then it naturally doesn't matter. If you defy Heaven, it might even be part of their plan. But what if you're an ordinary person? Such great disrespect, while not directly killing you, will certainly bring misfortune upon your destiny, with various minor misfortunes occurring one after another.

In simple terms, if your destiny is not strong enough, who would dare discuss Heaven and Earth? You'd be inviting retribution. You can speak of the Pillar Gods, yes, but can your destiny bear the weight of such words? This world has long since formed its own system. Among Arcanists, there is not only Great Prophecy, but every single being has a fate. It's just that without a prophecy revealing the world line, no one knows what their own destiny holds.

"Such a destiny... must be that of kings and generals!" Misha's eyes burned with fervor; she clutched her arcane staff tightly, and her voice grew hoarse. She gazed at Xu Zhi, who was seriously and enthusiastically teaching the little girl, Elusha, the concept of "castrating scumbags," waving a toothpick-thin sword, looking like an uncle giving her an early vaccination.

"No, this isn't right!" she thought. "Someone who dares to speak about the Three Pillar Gods to this extent is very likely the main protagonist of this era, or at least a secondary protagonist, with the potential to become a god and expand territory..." Her eyes instantly burned with zeal, and she trembled all over with excitement.

Meanwhile, the hidden powerhouses nearby, upon hearing this, only felt goosebumps erupting on their skin. Because they stood high and saw far, ordinary people didn't know the world's destiny, but how could they not? They clearly knew that this person had never appeared in the future's destiny; this person was not a key figure or destined protagonist of any era. Rather, Misha and Elusha were.

This was a variable. A terrifying and unknown variable of destiny!

At the same time, this sentence seemed extremely terrifying in their eyes, as if it pertained to the secrets of the world line and Great Prophecy. To "kill the chicken" meant to castrate! This sentence, containing the "three murderous intents," had a terrifying, ancient, domineering aura, seemingly describing the consequence of turning "Heaven, Earth, and Man" into eunuchs.

Turning Heaven, Earth, and Man into eunuchs, castrating them all? How dare he utter such words? How incredibly disrespectful! Even the most ambitious and powerful overlord wouldn't dare to speak so presumptuously. He was audacious to the point of deserving a thousand deaths! Could he be a demon from outside this realm? But that's impossible; the other party clearly had a demonic core, evidently a native creature of this Ancient Lava Land. They felt dizzy, their hearts tightened, and their legs involuntarily trembled.

They carefully pondered the sentence before them.When Heaven releases its murderous intent, stars shift, constellations change.Isn't that what's happening right now? "Heaven" likely refers to the "Three Pillar Gods of Destiny." Removing their influence means everything becomes unknown; stars shift, and the celestial bodies and sun and moon change freely!

As for "When Earth releases its murderous intent," it likely refers to those beneath Heaven, those subject to the Pillar Gods' destiny. The "Gods of the Earth,"When Earth releases its murderous intent, dragons and snakes rise from the ground.Isn't that also what's happening right now? Various deities have begun to act in secret, wanting to influence the world line's trajectory, and the future protagonists of destiny are precisely the so-called "rising dragons and snakes."

What about the last line? This sentence held an immense terror, a matter of life and death. It summarized the previous two lines: "When Man releases his murderous intent, Heaven and Earth are overturned..." Man has killed the former Heaven and Earth! Who does "Man" refer to? A specific person? Or a group of people? "Heaven and Earth are overturned" means overthrowing the "Heaven" Pillar Gods and the "Earth" deities, completely neutralizing the power of both? Castrating them?

It was too terrifying. They were utterly shocked; this sentence was truly chilling. The "three murderous intents," neutralizing Heaven, Earth, and Man, seemed more like a destiny prophecy for the world line, because the first two had already been fulfilled, leaving only the third line: "When Man releases his murderous intent, Heaven and Earth are overturned."

"Is this Great Prophecy?""Impossible! Even the Three Pillar Gods cannot predict a future that includes new variables now.""But...""Are there truly unknown mysterious entities among the populace predicting the future? Practicing Great Prophecy?""If it's true that even the Three Pillar Gods cannot do it, then who exactly is this person?" A group of powerhouses whispered secretly, cold sweat trickling down their foreheads.

On the contrary, Xu Zhi paid no attention to what they were thinking and continued to enthusiastically teach Elusha.

"What does that mean, that the whole world can be taken?" Elusha widened her eyes, looking like a curious baby.

Xu Zhi said seriously, "Did you understand what it means?"

Elusha tilted her head, with a serious expression. "Does this sentence mean that everything, without exception, will be turned into eunuchs??"

Xu Zhi smiled without a word, thinking that teaching self-defense against scoundrels should start from childhood.

"Tell me the truth," Elusha said, her little face darkening. "Have you been teasing me this whole time? Are you trying to get close to me? Trying to butter me up, then seize the chance to make a move on my mom? I'm telling you, that's impossible!"

Xu Zhi was speechless. He suddenly felt a little confused. This little girl was so vigilant; how could she have been taken advantage of? It seemed the scoundrel's skills were profound. Xu Zhi decided that before this journey reached the library, he would, in his free time, seriously conduct another session of anti-scoundrel education.

Before he could say anything, a phantom figure suddenly appeared in the distance. A seductive, horned woman with a whip walked over, saying, "Hurry."

Xu Zhi was startled. He hadn't yet had time to react.

Boom!

In the distant sky, divine light suddenly spread everywhere, and terrifying beings were about to descend. Xu Zhi looked up and fell silent immediately. "You worlds are truly insane," he thought. He felt that his situation was too difficult. Who had he provoked? Why were these deities, from both sides, not fighting on the front lines, but coming here to find a peaceful, traveling Heavenly Emperor?

"I'm leaving," Xu Zhi suddenly said, looking down.

"Huh? You're getting off?" Elusha immediately got annoyed. She hadn't noticed anything unusual, as it was natural for travelers to get off. "Aren't you giving me a gift? No, wait, for my mom?"

Xu Zhi's face darkened. This kid was truly precocious. It was estimated that every time she traveled by carriage, she would latch onto travelers in her group, make "new friends," come over to chat, and demand gifts when they left to fill her little piggy bank. She was practically a little profiteer.

"Here's your gift," Xu Zhi said, casually dropping the toothpick-sized arcane sword, then instantly disappeared from the spot with Wenachi.

Even though it was a clone, he had no intention of being a guest of the Three Pillar Gods. He was a very realistic person. Be invited to give motivational talks? Was he supposed to be Hermes again for another round? Before, as Hermes, he had painstakingly acted as a motivational mentor to handle the gods of the six realms. Now, as Messiah, was he to go deal with the Three Pillar Gods again? "—I come from the ancient, primordial era of lava gods, the oldest magic core creature? I have a great secret to share with you." Before, Hermes couldn't escape, but now, was he going to walk a tightrope again and seek excitement with the Three Pillar Gods?

Sorry, he wasn't going to put on that kind of show. He'd start by refusing to overthink things.
