This is just great.
Those Immortals’ Divine Senses were completely annihilated, and the Immortals across the entire world have turned into the Walking Dead.
They crowded frantically around the Taiming Sect’s formation like a zombie siege.
However, the formation was sturdy—Jiang Ke’er had arranged it herself, and it wouldn’t be breached anytime soon.
I landed beside Cluru to take a short break.
While I was resting, a man approached Cluru and me.
“You two must be Yun Luo and Cluru, right?”
“Hmm?”
“I am Gu Yuetian,” the man said with a refined and appropriate smile. “I need your help with something.”
‘Gu Yuetian?’
“Don’t believe him!”
Just then, Xuan Yang, the Peak Master of Yihe Peak, stood before us warily.
“Be careful around this man,” Peak Master Xuan Yang said, taking an offensive stance. “He has always been by Yuwen National Preceptor’s side. He’s one of Yuwen’s lackeys.”
“It’s a misunderstanding! A misunderstanding!” Gu Yuetian cried out repeatedly.
“Hah, stop pretending, Gu Yuetian,” Xuan Yang laughed. “As one of Yuwen National Preceptor’s lackeys, why weren’t you turned into the Walking Dead?”
“I’m an undercover agent! I saw things were going south and bolted!” Gu Yuetian raised both hands in a mock surrender.
“Trust me, I really am undercover. My hometown is over by the Stars, in Adelle… the Old Star Lord and Qiao Xiaoxian know about this!”
“Fine, if you say you’re undercover, what intel have you gathered?”
Xuan Yang sneered in disbelief.
“Why didn’t we receive any news before the Immortals launched their massive offensive?!”
“Because Yuwen National Preceptor knew I was an agent!”
Gu Yuetian smiled bitterly.
“He didn’t reveal a single thing. I could only bite the bullet and stick by his side. You have no idea how awkward it was.”
“Then what was the point of your infiltration?”
“There was a point, of course, heh…”
As Gu Yuetian spoke, he took out several scraps of cloth.
He looked at Cluru. “I painstakingly collected these personal items from Yuwen National Preceptor. They contain his DNA and Divine Sense information… Miss Octopus, it’s said that you possess the Modification Power. Can you use this information to transform me into Yuwen National Preceptor?”
‘…Huh?’
Cluru was a bit lost at such a request.
“If you transform me into Yuwen National Preceptor, I can seize control over these Immortal bodies and end this disaster in Shenzhou!” Gu Yuetian said confidently.
“Believe me, this is definitely the simplest way! Otherwise, these things will reassemble infinitely. Even Yun Luo couldn’t kill them all!”
‘Hmm? He seems to have a point…’
“But are you really willing to become someone else? You will no longer have your own appearance, identity, or even your memories might become jumbled. You could lose everything…”
“Haha, compared to the peace and safety of all Shenzhou, what does that matter?” Gu Yuetian laughed dashingly. “Come on! Miss Octopus! Use your Tentacles to whip me hard!”
“…”
Cluru looked at him with sheer disgust.
Her Tentacles wouldn’t touch something as filthy as trash.
“I can do the modification without using Tentacles, but… should we really do this?” Cluru asked for my opinion.
I thought for a moment.
I nodded. “Let’s do it, since he’s willing.”
The barrier would break sooner or later, and the Immortal bodies outside were endless.
Even if they were smashed to pulp, they would reassemble. Sacrificing the man in front of us was the best solution.
“Alright then…”
Cluru looked at the man named Gu Yuetian.
She took the scraps of cloth to analyze them, and at the same time, her fingers began tapping and clicking in the air around Gu Yuetian.
It was like she was sculpting a character’s settings.
Cluru’s sculpting speed was fast. She quickly input the DNA and Divine Sense code data extracted from the clothing.
Gu Yuetian’s body began to change bit by bit.
As the code was poured in, his appearance grew closer and closer to that of Yuwen National Preceptor.
His physique, even his irises and fingerprints, became a 100% match with Yuwen National Preceptor.
In just 30 minutes, the man before us had completely transformed into Yuwen National Preceptor.
Even his aura was identical.
I couldn’t tell the difference between the real and the fake.
“Incredible…”
‘I knew Cluru was amazing, but I didn’t realize she was this powerful.’
“Whew—done!”
Cluru finally declared the job finished.
She was exhausted after finishing. Her eyelids were drooping, and she looked ready to fall asleep.
I supported her.
“Why am I here? I… oh, I’m Gu Yuetian, I… hmm…”
When the final stroke was laid, Gu Yuetian also had a moment of daze, but fortunately, he recovered his senses quickly.
“Now, as planned, go and sever the link between Yuwen National Preceptor and those Immortal bodies,” I said, looking at Gu Yuetian warily.
“Yes! Of course!”
Gu Yuetian nodded and flew into the sky.
He flew outside the barrier, then waved at me and shouted with a smile, “Thanks!”
Then, he vanished in a flash.
“…”
The Immortal bodies outside were still frantically tearing at the barrier.
There wasn’t the slightest sign of stopping.
“…”
Cluru and I looked at each other.
‘So… we’ve been played?’
‘No, wait. This guy knew about Cluru’s Transformation Power, which means he really does have contact with Jiang Ke’er and the others. He should be a real double agent.’
‘After all, the real Yuwen National Preceptor doesn’t know about Cluru’s abilities.’
‘Since he’s a real double agent, why would he lie to us?’
‘Could he be a triple or quadruple agent?’
“I told you this guy was unreliable…” Xuan Yang spread his hands and offered a Dan Medicine with concern. “How is it? Is Cluru alright?”
“I’m fine, just a bit tired…” Cluru waved her hand and refused the medicine.
‘She only eats the pills I refine; she won’t touch a stranger’s.’
‘Damn it. If Qiao Xiaoxian weren’t so busy, I would have asked who this guy actually was first.’
Now, I still had to deal with the Immortal bodies myself.
I have to use that move…
Seeing that the barrier was covered in cracks, I sighed and stood up.
“What’s the plan?”
“Remember when I was doing the Artifact Forging?” I asked Cluru.
Cluru realized, “The Black Hole?”
“Yeah… these things can’t be killed or destroyed. They can only be locked away, forced to stay in a particle state and lose their ability to move.”
“But can you… can you handle it?”
“I’ll be fine. It’s just adding a little more mass.”
I floated into the air and once again spread my Divine Sense across the entire Shenzhou.
Closing my eyes, I locked onto all the enslaved Immortal bodies.
In my Divine Sense perception, I marked all the Immortal bodies in an instant.
Then…
Teleport! Teleport to my Soul Mini-world!
Throw them into the Black Hole!
Sizzle—
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle—
A heart-wrenching pain radiated from deep within my Spirit Platform.
I felt as if my Divine Soul was about to explode from the pressure.
Following that moment of intense pressure, a terrifying sense of emptiness took over.
This was because the mass of the Black Hole had increased, and its suction power had grown substantially.
It now possessed enough power to consume my Divine Sense and Lingyuan.
The moment the teleportation was complete…
The coffin lids of Jiang Ke’er and Yuwen National Preceptor opened simultaneously.
A grand power descended from the sky.
