Star Gate-Chapter 1547: Turning Around (IV)

Li Hao lightly pounded his thigh instead of responding. He could set up some traps or make some arrangements in Silver Moon because he was familiar with the situation. If he was in the chaos, he would be in unfamiliar territory. The chaos was also massive, which made undertaking certain things too difficult.

Take their current circumstances, for example. Too many had their eyes on Silver Moon and New Martial. It was very troublesome to handle and quite difficult to vanish from their line of sight!

“I’d like to return to Skyward!” said the young man after much consideration.

The group blinked. Go back? Why?

“I have too few trump cards in the chaos and am unable to take on certain powerhouses. I’d like to return to Skyward and kill a few of the heavyweights there, such as the leader of Dragon Observatory and others!”

“......” The three exalted emperors who were aware of the status quo in the chaos sucked in sharp breaths.

Hot damn! You’re crazy, aren’t you?? That’s a sixth rank exalted emperor, and you want to kill him?! What are you even thinking?!

“But I also need to take the senior’s primary body and Pagoda King with me. Not only that, but I’m going to hide them and vanish from everyone’s vision, along with Silver Moon!”

No one made a sound. This mission was too hard to accomplish.

“I’m going to Skyward to create a ruckus!” declared Li Hao. “You guys go meet those coming from New Martial! Panth will be coming with me, which means the world will be with me. To the rest of the chaos, Silver Moon is with me! Gan Wuliang, Martial Uncle Hong, and the others will convene with the New Martial delegation.”

Gan Wuliang opened his mouth to say something, then stopped.

“The core origin presence of a major world is a bit too noticeable,” Li Hao continued. “If the two seniors agree, I’d like them to dismiss their presence from a major world. That means cutting themselves off from core origin.”

The group blinked again. Was that possible? The current Silver Moon dao universe was so weak, would those two powerhouses agree to that request?

It was rather Celestial Pole’s replica who quietly stroked his chin. He knew himself well. Was it possible that his primary body would join Silver Moon?

It was highly likely!

All they needed to promise was that the primary body didn’t need to participate in further fighting. There would be nothing more than the primary body wished then!

Throwing himself under Silver Moon’s banner wasn’t an act of betrayal, anyhow.

“Therefore, we need the two dao masters to receive them! Of course, I’m not certain if this will one hundred percent redirect everyone’s attention to me. I’m just a third rank at present.

“It will have to take a major upheaval at Skyward, one that commands more than everyone’s attention on New Martial. For example... the resurrection of a dao universe!”

The group blinked.

“But that’s so hard that it’s almost impossible,” Li Hao continued. “Therefore, I might need the two dao masters to split up...

“Use the Silver Moon dao universe to pose as the Skyward dao universe. Pretend that it’s revitalizing. This will create another opening for us. The Skyward dao universe will be very weak once it revives, and Silver Moon’s dao universe happens to be very weak.

“That fulfills the circumstances around a dao universe resurrection. People won’t believe it if the dao universe pops up in a strong form!” The young man looked at the two dao masters. “Gan Wuliang is skilled at posing as something else! Why don’t you come to Skyward with me while Martial Uncle Hong meets those from New Martial. The revitalization of Skyward’s dao universe will stop even brawling seventh ranks, to say nothing of those chasing after Senior Celestial Pole. And so... this will be a very dangerous and thrilling undertaking!

“It’s so thrilling that you’ll be skinned alive if someone catches you!” Li Hao laughed.

“......” Gan Wuliang didn’t know what to say. He was supposed to pretend to a group of exalted emperors that the Skyward dao universe was recovering, and accomplish that right under their noses. His actions might attract more high ranks. It was... blowing a raspberry at the devil!

It would be so exciting!

The one blowing the raspberry wouldn’t be a beauty, but a piece of delicious meat. It was the type that anyone would want a bite after seeing it. Even the three exalted emperors that’d just joined Silver Moon’s side couldn’t help themselves.

“Is this necessary?” Mo said quietly. “Isn’t this... too much of a risk? I think that if you wish to meet those coming to you, you can take a while to plan this out. There’s no need to do it this way, it will make you a lot of people’s target...”

Li Hao had made the matter more serious and on a grander scale compared to before! Was it worth it just to convene with two low ranks?

It didn’t seem like it!

“Skyward’s situation is so complicated that it makes the major world safer on a relative basis!” explained Li Hao. “But we might not be able to redirect everyone’s attention if we don’t cause an uproar. As for attacking a minor or mid world... that would be over the top. It would further confirm for the rest of the chaos that we intend to convene with New Martial!

“We just need to keep our wits about us at Skyward. It shouldn’t be that dangerous!” concluded the young man. “We can do more at Skyward!”

And another key point was, he could borrow strength in a critical moment. Where else could he do so in the chaos universe? It was a tall order for him, now that he was out a fifth rank’s corpse.

“Panther, Gan Wuliang, and I will head to Skyward!” Li Hao declared crisply. “The others will welcome Senior Celestial Pole’s primary body! Remember that you must come back with the supreme’s replica as well, or at least communicate with the exalted emperor behind Senior Celestial Pole.

“I need some comprehensions about the path of extreme yin, that is my goal!” Li Hao took a breath. “As for how we’ll come in contact with them... It will be too hard for me to communicate with you guys, even with Lin Hongyu among your group. You guys will be too far away.

“I will... damage your star of life and death. You can reach out to them when you’re injured for no reason. It means I’ve really kicked up a fuss on my side. You might be able to sense a thing or two as well.”

The group frowned, still finding the proposal too dangerous!

“Skyward had envoys of the five elements?” Yuan Shuo suddenly said. “Then take me with you. I’d like to visit Skyward and perceive the strength of the five elements. They might be of some help to me.”

“It’s very dangerous there,” Li Hao frowned.

“Do you think I’m afraid?” Yuan Shuo snorted. “Guys like Gan Wuliang and Hong Yitang could become masters of dao. Would I be afraid of a little bit of trouble?”

“......” The two exalted emperors didn’t say a word. They couldn’t afford to offend this one.

“Very well!” Li Hao said after thinking it over for a while. He didn’t say anything as his teacher would have to go with Panther if he refused. The dog had to stay with the young man or become too big of a target.

Therefore, his teacher would be with him no matter what.

The group didn’t object to Li Hao’s plan. Meanwhile, Mo’s trio wanted to cry, but couldn’t find the tears to. These guys were crazy!

These Silver Moon people had more courage than was good for them. They should be running away now, not going back to stir up more trouble. Although based on what Li Hao said, the three of them just needed to follow Hong Yitang. But that was still very dangerous!

Who knew if Celestial Pole’s side would suddenly retreat? The trio just wanted to run away!

“Time is of the essence, I’m going back to Skyward right now and preparing for the reawakening of the dao universe,” said Li Hao. “We can swiftly reconvene if the plan succeeds. I’ll have some comprehensions of extreme yin then and lead everyone into taking shelter for a while. We’ll be able to avoid some of our pursuers.”

That’s when he would need to utilize dao chess! He’d need energy to access it—well, not inside Skyward. However, he wouldn’t enter the treasure within Skyward. That would let some people know that he was still in the major world.

The young man thought over a great deal and made a general overview of his future arrangements. Humans laid their plans, the heavens oversaw success. It was up to his fortunes whether or not he would succeed.

If he did, he stood a chance of entering mid rank and could find a place to safely hide out for a while. This was much better than directly interfacing with New Martial!

Glances were exchanged within the crowd and Hong Yitang nodded. “I don’t have any opinions otherwise, but I’d like to bring someone with me.”

“Who?”

“Senior Zhang An!”

Li Hao grinned and looked at Zhang An; the man inclined his head. “I can do that. If I go and see the two exalted emperors, it’ll be easier for me to talk to them.”

“Very well!” Li Hao agreed. “All of you can enter the corporeal dao universe and the dao river. The original body of the dao universe is still within Silver Moon, not the dao river. It is enough that the dao river exists!

“If you really are unable to meet up with them...” The young man hummed in thought. “Then I can try to comprehend the dao through the void if you can lay hands on the dao of extreme yin and incorporate it into the dao river.

“If meeting up with them is too difficult, then give up on it. Don’t let yourselves be captured in one fell swoop!”

Comprehending a dao through the void was clearly inferior to studying it in person. But convening with the New Martial delegates was a very risky endeavor. Those from Silver Moon could give this method of dao comprehension a try if they had no other choice.

“If I collect the dao of yin, can I send it over through the dao of life and death?” asked Lin Hongyu.

“It’ll be too far!” Li Hao shook his head. “My river of life and death is not as strong as the dao universe. It’s also not as stable.”

Lin Hongyu nodded and fell silent.

“Then we’re settled!” Li Hao looked at the rest. “This will determine whether Silver Moon can find its footing within the chaos. I hope everyone, including me, will find success!”

The young man didn’t say anything else and didn’t mind this farewell. He rushed in the direction of Skyward with Panther, Gan Wuliang, and the others. He was going to create an incredible uproar in Skyward!

It was what the Human King had done via extinguishing a major world the day the Star Gate opened. He’d created such an earth-shattering disturbance that it shifted a lot of attention from Silver Moon.

Li Hao’s feint tactics were part of the tricks that he’d picked up from the New Martial king.

......

Hong Yitang exhaled heavily when Li Hao was gone. His side only had one goal—lay their hands on the dao of extreme yin and send it back to Li Hao. It would be critical whether or not New Martial could supply it, and if the two sides could contact each other.

Meeting up would likely be too hard. They were too far away and neither side was strong enough. Both parties were constantly on the run, they didn’t have time to convene.

Sending a dao through the river... was very hard.

“Don’t worry, just get our hands on the comprehension,” Lin Hongyu transmitted. “I’ll take it in and find a chance to send it back!”

Hong Yitang blinked and looked at the woman. She didn’t explain herself further.

Lin Hongyu was aware of the path of life and death now. If I die, I can resurrect within the star of life and death. All I need to do is retain my memories and comprehension to send everything back!
