lǐ fán shì gè hǎo hái zi 。
李凡是个好孩子。
Li Si knew that the arrival of the World Devouring Dharma was imminent. He calmly coughed to get everyone's attention, then asked, "Although our two star seas are adjacent, we are still separated by the World Devouring Dharma. How can we cooperate?"
zhì cǐ bái shù yuè xīn zhōng zài wú huái yí 。
至此白漱月心中再无怀疑。
Everyone was surprised at how quickly Li Si accepted the proposal. The envoy from Light and Virtue Star Sea hurriedly said, "We have been fishing for a long time, accumulating considerable experience to deal with the World Devouring Dharma. Although we cannot cross without worries like the transcendent experts, traveling between our two star seas should still be feasible."
jì rán yǐ jīng yàn zhèng le zhè yì diǎn ， nà me bái shù yuè yú qíng yú lǐ ， dōu yīng jǐn kě néng de tí xié tā 。
既然已经验证了这一点，那么白漱月于情于理，都应尽可能的提携他。
"Since the erosion of the World Devouring Dharma is not as fierce in the possibilities as it is in the mountains and seas," he added.
“ bìng fēi jū nì yú měi yī shì ， huò kě xiān zhǎo chū zuì yōu jiě 。”
“并非拘泥于每一世，或可先找出最优解。”
However, the gods were naturally wary of the World Devouring Dharma. Without proof, they would not easily believe him. The envoy was prepared for this response and solemnly said, "If you allow us, we will personally visit soon!"
“ yào me ， wǒ zǒu de zú gòu yuǎn 。 dá dào wú míng 、 chāo tuō zhī jìng ， nǎi zhì gèng jìn yí bù ！ fán ér zài wǒ zhào fú xià ， jí biàn shì fán rén zhī qū 、 yì wú xū yōu lǜ dào yān zhī jié 。”
“要么，我走的足够远。达到无名、超脱之境，乃至更进一步！凡儿在我照拂下，即便是凡人之躯、亦无需忧虑道湮之劫。”
The gods from Light and Virtue Star Sea were taken aback when they heard this. After a moment's silence, Li Si spoke up, "Then I look forward to your visit."
“ yào me ， zé shì wèi tā zhǎo dào yī tiáo shì hé zì jǐ de xiū xíng lù 。 dàn ……”
“要么，则是为他找到一条适合自己的修行路。但……”
The delegation from Light and Virtue Star Sea acted quickly. Half a month later, Li Si sensed the waves outside the Dharma Network.
xiǎng dào zhè lǐ ， bái shù yuè bù yóu wēi wēi yáo tóu 。
想到这里，白漱月不由微微摇头。
Although not as massive as the World Devouring Dharma, they were still noticeable ripples on the surface of the water.
“ fán ér de xiū xíng zī zhì shí zài tài chà ， jiù suàn zài wǒ de àn zhōng bāng zhù xià ， jiù lián bǎi biàn yóu lóng gōng zhè děng zuì qiǎn xiǎn de fǎ mén ， yě xué de nà me jiān nán 。 guāng píng tā zì jǐ ， xiǎng yào xiū xíng yǒu chéng ……”
“凡儿的修行资质实在太差，就算在我的暗中帮助下，就连百变游龙功这等最浅显的法门，也学的那么艰难。光凭他自己，想要修行有成……”
A dilapidated wooden boat crossed the World Devouring Dharma, shaking and swaying in the air. From this small boat, Li Si could sense at least twenty true immortals and a nameless presence!
duì cǐ ， bái shù yuè shì bù bào shén me xī wàng de 。
对此，白漱月是不抱什么希望的。
"Such a large delegation, it seems that Light and Virtue Star Sea is even more powerful than I imagined."
zhè yī shì ， lǐ fán suī yǐ jīng shì qù 。
这一世，李凡虽已经逝去。
Li Si was not afraid. She calmly welcomed the wooden boat into the Dharma Network.
dàn bái shù yuè hái yào jì xù zǒu xià qù 。
但白漱月还要继续走下去。
However, the gods from Light and Virtue Star Sea and the Immortal Hunters were on high alert. This might be the first official contact between the two star seas since they were separated by the World Devouring Dharma.
wán chéng shàng yī cì méi yǒu dá chéng de ， chāo tuō zhī lù 。
完成上一次没有达成的，超脱之路。
Light and Virtue Star Sea had also prepared a gift for this meeting.
“ chéng dào suī piàn le wǒ ， dàn zuò zhèn dào wǎng hé xīn ， xiū xíng sù dù dí què bú shì xún cháng zhuàng tài xià suǒ néng bǐ nǐ de 。 suǒ wèi yǒu lì yǒu bì 。”
“承道虽骗了我，但坐镇道网核心，修行速度的确不是寻常状态下所能比拟的。所谓有利有弊。”
"Divine Sword and Divine Saber."
“ dàn ， zuì guān jiàn de hái shì yào zhǎo dào pò jú zhī fǎ 。 shuò xīng hǎi nèi ， zī yuán yǒu xiàn 。 bù zú yǐ zhī chēng qǐ wǒ de chéng xiān zhèng dào lù 。 guāng wú xīng hǎi ， huò xǔ qì jī àn cáng 。 bù guò jiǔ bǎi duō nián hòu ， guāng wú xīng hǎi biàn huì yǒu yì biàn fā shēng 。 dào yān jiàng lín ， tūn mò yī qiè 。”
“但，最关键的还是要找到破局之法。朔星海内，资源有限。不足以支撑起我的成仙证道路。光吾星海，或许契机暗藏。不过九百多年后，光吾星海便会有异变发生。道湮降临，吞没一切。”
When the two light orbs appeared, everyone from Light and Virtue Star Sea was amazed by their power.
“……”
“……”
"One entire possibility's condensed residue... This is what you fished out of the World Devouring Dharma?"
“ liú gěi wǒ de shí jiān ， bù duō le 。”
“留给我的时间，不多了。”
Chaos stared at the flickering blade and saber images with greedy eyes.
bái shù yuè zhè me xiǎng zhe ， yòng jìn zhì jiāng lǐ fán gēn zì jǐ de líng mù fēng suǒ yǐn cáng ， ér hòu pò kōng lí kāi dà xuán xiǎo shì jiè 。
白漱月这么想着，用禁制将李凡跟自己的陵墓封锁隐藏，而后破空离开大玄小世界。
The leader of the delegation, a nameless one who practiced the Path of Ten Thousand Victories, nodded: "In fact, this is just a minor piece among our many harvests."
ér hòu biàn shì jī xiè huà de chóng fù cāo zuò 。
而后便是机械化的重复操作。
He revealed more information. "You can imagine that anything surviving in the World Devouring Dharma must be extraordinary. I can say with certainty that any item from these treasures has power comparable to a nameless true immortal."
xiū xíng ， huī fù yí dìng jìng jiè ； zhǎo wú liàng bì ， hé huǒ móu suàn wú jí dà dào 。
修行，恢复一定境界；找无量壁，合伙谋算无极大道。
The words of Ten Thousand Victories made everyone from Light and Virtue Star Sea even more incredulous, but his expression did not seem fake.
zhǔn bèi lí kāi xuán huáng jiè ， qián wǎng shuò xīng hǎi zhī qián ， bái shù yuè hái bù wàng zài dù shè lì chóng chóng jìn zhì 、 jiāng dà xuán xiǎo shì jiè gěi wán quán fēng suǒ 。
准备离开玄黄界，前往朔星海之前，白漱月还不忘再度设立重重禁制、将大玄小世界给完全封锁。
Moreover, offering such a powerful treasure as a gift added credibility to his claims.
yǐ fáng zhǐ yǒu xiū xiān zhě wù rù de qíng kuàng zài cì fā shēng ， dǎ rǎo dào lǐ fán wáng hún ān níng 。
以防止有修仙者误入的情况再次发生，打扰到李凡亡魂安宁。
"Fish out the World Devouring Dharma..."
“ jì rán nǐ zhè me kàn zhòng ， bù rú gān cuì bǎ zhè fāng xiǎo shì jiè ， suí shēn xié dài suàn le 。”
“既然你这么看重，不如干脆把这方小世界，随身携带算了。”
Everyone's expressions changed subtly.
yī páng jiāng bái shù yuè jǔ dòng kàn zài yǎn lǐ de wú liàng bì ， mēn shēng shuō dào 。
一旁将白漱月举动看在眼里的无量壁，闷声说道。
"We are not blinded by profit. We fish for the World Devouring Dharma because it is more beneficial than harmful."
bái shù yuè dòng zuò wēi wēi yī zhì ， rèn zhēn sī kǎo le liáng jiǔ 。
白漱月动作微微一滞，认真思考了良久。
"But this crisis was unexpected. However, if we can survive this calamity, perhaps we can find a way to transcend!"
zuì zhōng hái shì yáo tóu fǒu dìng le 。
最终还是摇头否定了。
Ten Thousand Victories emphasized "transcend" with extra weight, drawing everyone's attention.
tā lián xiǎng dào le ， shàng yī shì dào yān jié nàn jiàng lín ， shuò xīng 、 guāng wú liǎng dì bèi dào yān tūn mò hòu ， zhì àn xīng hǎi réng cún de huà miàn 。
她联想到了，上一世道湮劫难降临，朔星、光吾两地被道湮吞没后，至暗星海仍存的画面。
"Transcend?"
“ zài zhè lǐ ， fán ér guò dé gèng ān wěn xiē 。” bái shù yuè dàn dàn dì shuō zhe 。
“在这里，凡儿过得更安稳些。”白漱月淡淡地说着。
Since they knew nothing about Light and Virtue Star Sea, they let Ten Thousand Victories continue speaking.
wú liàng bì yǒu xiē nà mèn ：“ nǐ yòu méi lí kāi guò xuán huáng jiè ， nǎ lǐ zhī dào wài jiè xiàn zài jiū jìng shì hé děng zhuàng kuàng ？”
无量壁有些纳闷：“你又没离开过玄黄界，哪里知道外界现在究竟是何等状况？”
"In all our catches, the most valuable item is a fragment of transcendence!"
bái shù yuè xiào ér bù dá 。
白漱月笑而不答。
"The true intent of transcendence still exists within it..."
héng yuè gāo qiáng zhī shí ， jīng guò bái shù yuè de yī fān tí xǐng ， wú liàng bì fā xiàn le yǐn cáng de làn kē dào chǎng 。
横跃高墙之时，经过白漱月的一番提醒，无量壁发现了隐藏的烂柯道场。
Ten Thousand Victories waved his hand to reveal an isolated sailboat crossing mountains and seas!
jìn rù dào dào chǎng zǒng kòng ， kàn dào jù dà huán bì shàng mì bù de wú shù wǎng gé xīng hǎi ， bái shù yuè bù yóu zhēng zhēng shī shén 。
进入到道场总控，看到巨大环壁上密布的无数网格星海，白漱月不由怔怔失神。
"Transcendental intent cannot be grasped by us. Just understanding its appearance has caused significant losses for us, so we have not used this fragment."
“ yuán lái ， wǒ suǒ zài de xīng kōng ， zhǐ shì qí zhōng wēi bù zú dào de yí gè 。”
“原来，我所在的星空，只是其中微不足道的一个。”
Seeing the greed in everyone's eyes, Ten Thousand Victories smiled.
ér qiě ， bái shù yuè hái yú qí zhōng ， gǎn yìng dào le shú xī de ， xū yǐng chéng dào qì xī 。
而且，白漱月还于其中，感应到了熟悉的，虚影承道气息。
"If we can survive this calamity together, we are willing to invite you all to study the true intent of transcendence!"
“ kàn lái ， chéng dào yīng dāng yě chū shēn yú gāo qiáng zhī nèi 。” kàn dào qí zhōng yī chù ， shú xī de shān hǎi shì jiè hòu ， bái shù yuè ruò yǒu suǒ sī dào 。
“看来，承道应当也出身于高墙之内。”看到其中一处，熟悉的山海世界后，白漱月若有所思道。
This statement was like a thunderclap. The gods from Light and Virtue Star Sea exchanged glances and quickly unified their decision.
yóu yú bìng méi yǒu xiàng lǐ fán nà yàng ， chè dǐ jiāng xuán huáng jiè yī qiè yǐn mì sōu guā gān jìng 。 dǎo zhì bái shù yuè duì làn kē dào chǎng de rèn zhī yǒu suǒ qiàn quē 。
由于并没有像李凡那样，彻底将玄黄界一切隐秘搜刮干净。导致白漱月对烂柯道场的认知有所欠缺。
Regardless, the arrival of the World Devouring Dharma was inevitable. With the formidable strength of Light and Virtue Star Sea, cooperation would increase their chances of survival.
dàn wú lùn guò qù de rèn hé mì mì ， dōu zhōng guī shì wú guān jǐn yào zhī shì 。
但无论过去的任何秘密，都终归是无关紧要之事。
Moreover, they were offering this treasure as a reward...
wú liàng bì wú fǎ kuī tàn qīng làn kē dào chǎng nèi suǒ yǒu mì mì ， bái shù yuè yě méi yǒu shēn jiū de dǎ suàn 。
无量壁无法窥探清烂柯道场内所有秘密，白漱月也没有深究的打算。
There was no reason to refuse.
duì zhe dào chǎng nèi chù lì de nà jǐ dào xū yǐng ， yáo yáo xíng lǐ zhī hòu 。
对着道场内矗立的那几道虚影，遥遥行礼之后。
Li Si remained one of the few who stayed completely clear-headed in the meeting. She knew very well how valuable the fragment of transcendence was.
bái shù yuè biàn fēi dùn lí kāi ， jìn rù shuò xīng hǎi dào wǎng zhī nèi 。
白漱月便飞遁离开，进入朔星海道网之内。
However, that such a precious item was willing to be shared by Light and Virtue Star Sea indicated just how much trouble they had caused.
fù xíng gù shì 。
复行故事。
Recalling the terrifying World Devouring Dharma from the last era, Li Si interrupted and asked, "We can cooperate. But you should first honestly tell us about your situation."
jiē tì chéng dào ， zuò zhèn dào wǎng hé xīn 。
接替承道，坐镇道网核心。
"Using transcendence as bait, this calamity is not as simple as what you say."
bǔ xiān wù dào ， tuī dòng shuò xīng hǎi wén míng chéng zhǎng 。
捕仙悟道，推动朔星海文明成长。
Li Si's cold voice made everyone from Light and Virtue Star Sea more alert.
yǒu le shàng yī shì qiān nián de jīng yàn ， bái shù yuè duì dào wǎng zhǎn xiàn chū le jīng rén de zhǎng kòng néng lì 。
有了上一世千年的经验，白漱月对道网展现出了惊人的掌控能力。
Ten Thousand Victories sobered up: "Of course. In fact, we already have a clear understanding of this calamity. The World Devouring Dharma was likely attracted by the fragment of transcendence..."
bì miǎn le xǔ duō bù bì yào de wān lù 。
避免了许多不必要的弯路。
"Ah?"
jǐn jǐn zhǐ yòng le bǎi nián shí jiān ， jiù jiāng shuò xīng hǎi cán cún zhēn xiān qīng sǎo yī kōng 。
仅仅只用了百年时间，就将朔星海残存真仙清扫一空。
Everyone from Light and Virtue Star Sea was confused.
yòu yòng le wǔ shí nián ， xiān shòu gè bù jīng guò kuài sù fā zhǎn ， yě jī běn huī fù dào le shàng yī shì de diān fēng shuǐ píng 。
又用了五十年，仙狩各部经过快速发展，也基本恢复到了上一世的巅峰水平。
Ten Thousand Victories continued explaining, "The World Devouring Dharma seems to have its own consciousness. The more difficult it is to destroy something, the more fiercely it reacts. This fragment of transcendence has crossed the World Devouring Dharma for countless years without being destroyed, and the attention of the World Devouring Dharma on it has reached a terrifying level. If left in our star sea for long, it would inevitably attract the erosion of the World Devouring Dharma."
qià féng cǐ shí ， guāng wú xīng hǎi zài pài kuī xīng qián lái jiē chù 。
恰逢此时，光吾星海再派窥星前来接触。
"Realizing this, we returned the fragment of transcendence to the World Devouring Dharma..."
bái shù yuè zhè yī cì méi yǒu jù jué 。
白漱月这一次没有拒绝。
"Wait!" Chaos interrupted sharply.
dào wǎng hé xīn kōng jiān zhōng ， zhòng rén huán liè 。
道网核心空间中，众人环列。
"How could you let such a precious treasure go?"
qí zhōng jì yǒu hùn dùn 、 tóng shèng 、 shàn huà děng wú míng zhēn xiān ， yě yǒu bái shù yuè 、 nán gōng fú shèng zhè yàng de fán rén 。
其中既有混沌、同盛、善化等无名真仙，也有白漱月、南宫福圣这样的凡人。
Ten Thousand Victories smiled derisively. "We did not completely release it; instead, we used it like a divine coffin bait, attracting floating treasures from the World Devouring Dharma."
mǒu zhǒng mò míng de bō dòng jiàng lín ， chǎng zhōng yī zhī yuán běn zhèng zài chén shuì de hēi māo ， hū de zhēng kāi le yǎn jīng 。
某种莫名的波动降临，场中一只原本正在沉睡的黑猫，忽的睁开了眼睛。
"The fragment of transcendence is drifting outside. It should have attracted most of the attention of the World Devouring Dharma. But for some reason..."
hēi māo duì zhe zhòng rén yī yì diǎn tóu xíng lǐ ， ér hòu kàn xiàng zhǔ shì rén ： bái shù yuè 。
黑猫对着众人一一点头行礼，而后看向主事人：白漱月。
Ten Thousand Victories's expression became serious. "In recent times, the impact of the World Devouring Dharma on our possibility has gradually increased."
shuò xīng hǎi jìn bǎi nián lái fā shēng de jù biàn ， guāng wú xīng hǎi fāng miàn hái shì yǒu suǒ ěr wén de 。 duì yú bái shù yuè zhè wèi shén mì mò cè 、 lái lì bù míng de fán rén ， tā men bǐng chí zhe hào qí qiě jǐn shèn de tài dù 。
朔星海近百年来发生的剧变，光吾星海方面还是有所耳闻的。对于白漱月这位神秘莫测、来历不明的凡人，它们秉持着好奇且谨慎的态度。
"We speculate that it might be because the World Devouring Dharma discovered the connection between us and the fragment of transcendence."
yuán běn cū bào de huò shuǐ dōng yǐn jì huà ， yě yīn zhī gǎi biàn 。
原本粗暴的祸水东引计划，也因之改变。
The gods from Light and Virtue Star Sea exchanged glances.
“ wǒ cǐ fān dài biǎo qián lái ， shì xún qiú hé zuò de 。”
“我此番代表前来，是寻求合作的。”
They could not imagine that the World Devouring Dharma would think like a living being, even with intelligence?
“ hé zuò ？ hé zuò shén me ？”
“合作？合作什么？”
"Then if we just let it drift into the mountains and seas, will this calamity be resolved?" Only Li Si pointed out the key issue quickly.
miàn duì shuò xīng hǎi zhòng rén de yí wèn ， kuī xīng zhí jiē gōng chéng bù kāi de shuō dào ：“ dào yān bù níng ， kǒng yǒu sì nüè zhī wēi 。 guāng wú yǔ shuò xīng hǎi bǐ lín 。 fù cháo zhī xià ， yān yǒu wán luǎn ？ cǐ jié ， zhǐ yǒu wǒ men gòng tóng yìng duì ， fāng cái yǒu cún huó xià qù de xī wàng 。”
面对朔星海众人的疑问，窥星直接公诚布开的说道：“道湮不宁，恐有肆虐之危。光吾与朔星海比邻。覆巢之下，焉有完卵？此劫，只有我们共同应对，方才有存活下去的希望。”
Ten Thousand Victories was speechless but reluctantly nodded. "But clearly, you won't easily give up on the fragment of transcendence."
jiē xià lái ， kuī xīng jiāng guāng wú xīng hǎi lì yòng dù shì xiān guān zuò wéi yú ěr ， chuí diào dào yān de shì qíng shuō le chū lái 。
接下来，窥星将光吾星海利用渡世仙棺作为鱼饵，垂钓道湮的事情说了出来。
"You want to have it all? Haha..."
“ zhè me shuō ， jiù shì nǐ men chuí diào de cì shù duō le ， yǐn qǐ le dào yān zhī zhōng 、 mǒu gè qiáng dà cún zài de zhù yì 。 zhè cái zhāo lái le dào yān zhī jié ？” shuò xīng hǎi zhòng rén wén yán jù shì zhèn nù 。
“这么说，就是你们垂钓的次数多了，引起了道湮之中、某个强大存在的注意。这才招来了道湮之劫？”朔星海众人闻言俱是震怒。
Li Si finally understood the specific reason for Light and Virtue Star Sea's destruction in the previous era.
“ huò shì nǐ men chuǎng de ， què yào lā shàng wǒ men yì qǐ chéng dān 。 zhè shì shén me dào lǐ ？”
“祸是你们闯的，却要拉上我们一起承担。这是什么道理？”
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Ten Thousand Victories's face before he quickly recovered. "The fragment of transcendence carries our hope for transcendence, so we won't easily give it up. But don't worry, we have developed a method to make the World Devouring Dharma ignore us and the fragment of transcendence. However..."
“ bù zuò sǐ 、 jiù bú huì sǐ 。 zhèng shì dāng nián tiān luó dì luàn lái ， cái zhāo zhì dào yān jié jiàng lín 。 nǐ men jìng chóng dǎo fù zhé ！”
“不作死、就不会死。正是当年天罗帝乱来，才招致道湮劫降临。你们竟重蹈覆辙！”
Ten Thousand Victories paused, then whispered, "Other divine coffins used as bait are also marked by the World Devouring Dharma. If we handle multiple pressures simultaneously, it will be quite difficult."
……
……
"Then just throw away all the other divine coffins. You won't be reluctant to do that, right?" Chaos said ungraciously.
xiàn chǎng luàn zuò yī tuán 。
现场乱作一团。
Ten Thousand Victories sighed. "This is why we need your cooperation most fundamentally."
wéi yǒu bái shù yuè ， zǎo yǐ jīng tí qián zhī dào le dào yān jí jiāng jiàng lín de xiāo xī ， dǎo shì bù huāng bù luàn 。
唯有白漱月，早已经提前知道了道湮即将降临的消息，倒是不慌不乱。
"The bait of the divine coffin is one entity. If broken, it will break everywhere."
Li Si knew that the arrival of the World Devouring Dharma was imminent. He calmly coughed to get everyone's attention, then asked, "Although our two star seas are adjacent, we are still separated by the World Devouring Dharma. How can we cooperate?"
Everyone was surprised at how quickly Li Si accepted the proposal. The envoy from Light and Virtue Star Sea hurriedly said, "We have been fishing for a long time, accumulating considerable experience to deal with the World Devouring Dharma. Although we cannot cross without worries like the transcendent experts, traveling between our two star seas should still be feasible."
"Since the erosion of the World Devouring Dharma is not as fierce in the possibilities as it is in the mountains and seas," he added.
However, the gods were naturally wary of the World Devouring Dharma. Without proof, they would not easily believe him. The envoy was prepared for this response and solemnly said, "If you allow us, we will personally visit soon!"
The gods from Light and Virtue Star Sea were taken aback when they heard this. After a moment's silence, Li Si spoke up, "Then I look forward to your visit."
The delegation from Light and Virtue Star Sea acted quickly. Half a month later, Li Si sensed the waves outside the Dharma Network.
Although not as massive as the World Devouring Dharma, they were still noticeable ripples on the surface of the water.
A dilapidated wooden boat crossed the World Devouring Dharma, shaking and swaying in the air. From this small boat, Li Si could sense at least twenty true immortals and a nameless presence!
"Such a large delegation, it seems that Light and Virtue Star Sea is even more powerful than I imagined."
Li Si was not afraid. She calmly welcomed the wooden boat into the Dharma Network.
However, the gods from Light and Virtue Star Sea and the Immortal Hunters were on high alert. This might be the first official contact between the two star seas since they were separated by the World Devouring Dharma.
Light and Virtue Star Sea had also prepared a gift for this meeting.
"Divine Sword and Divine Saber."
When the two light orbs appeared, everyone from Light and Virtue Star Sea was amazed by their power.

The words of Ten Thousand Victories made everyone from Light and Virtue Star Sea even more incredulous, but his expression did not seem fake.
Moreover, offering such a powerful treasure as a gift added credibility to his claims.
"Fish out the World Devouring Dharma..."
Everyone's expressions changed subtly.
"We are not blinded by profit. We fish for the World Devouring Dharma because it is more beneficial than harmful."
"But this crisis was unexpected. However, if we can survive this calamity, perhaps we can find a way to transcend!"

Ten Thousand Victories paused, then whispered, "Other divine coffins used as bait are also marked by the World Devouring Dharma. If we handle multiple pressures simultaneously, it will be quite difficult."
"Then just throw away all the other divine coffins. You won't be reluctant to do that, right?" Chaos said ungraciously.
Ten Thousand Victories sighed. "This is why we need your cooperation most fundamentally."
"The bait of the divine coffin is one entity. If broken, it will break everywhere."
