The atmosphere in Land of Celestial Suffering was lively. However, the situation in the Beast Court billions of kilometres away was different.

 

In the depths of the Rogue Abyss, the entire world was dim. One could not see the Moon. The Beast Ancestor, Di Li, was seated on his throne. However, he donned a dark expression. Many Beast Generals were kneeling and solemnly reporting to him about the war between the Beast Court and Land of Celestial Suffering.

 

“Chu Gucheng truly has no regard for the Beast Court. Not only has he made the other Forces in the Endless Beasts Territory side with him, but he’s also schemed against us!”

 

Di Li crushed the jade cup in his hand into pieces. He sounded furious.

 

Outside the Rogue Abyss, a Dao Storm instantly formed. The entire universe seemed to be swaying with the gale. Countless stars were trembling as though they were about to fall.

 

The strange phenomenon made all the Beasts shudder in fear. They were ill at ease.

 

“Please don’t be mad, Beast Ancestor.” Inside the hall, all the ministers were anxious. Di Li’s children also hung their heads low and stood silently there.

 

The Beast Court and Land of Celestial Suffering were still at war, but the situation did not look so good for the former. Their soldiers were getting destroyed by Land of Celestial Suffering while retreating.

 

Chu Gucheng’s birthday party was around the corner. Di Li had intended to teach him a lesson and humiliate him when there were so many guests around.

 

As such, he blew the Beast Gathering Conch and gathered countless soldiers to charge towards Land of Celestial Suffering. He had already made some arrangements.

 

Much to his surprise, Chu Gucheng had already predicted this. The Beast Court’s soldiers were trapped by the River Chart Five Elements Ancient Array that Chu Gucheng had given to a subordinate. All of them died in a few days.

 

Some of them were important subordinates that the Beast Ancestor valued. However, the Divine Generals of Land of Celestial Suffering had joined forces to destroy them right there and then.

 

This caused a commotion in the Beast Court. All the Beasts were shocked and furious. Di Li was incensed. He even intended to head to the border and kill them all.

 

Still, he suppressed his fury in the end. The Beast Court needed him to be in charge. If he headed to Land of Celestial Suffering, he could not even ensure his safety.

 

Now, Land of Celestial Suffering was full of powerful cultivators. Besides the Ancestral Dao Realm experts in Land of Celestial Suffering, the guests who had gone to attend the party should not be underestimated as well.

 

Having suffered several setbacks because of Chu Gucheng, the Beast Ancestor felt humiliated. He was an ancient being. When he took control of the Beast Court and ruled over the Beasts, Chu Gucheng was not born yet.

 

Nevertheless, such a Junior was able to make him feel helpless.

 

“Father, I’m willing to lead billions of Beast soldiers and head to Land of Celestial Suffering so that you can vent your anger.” Just then, a figure clad in a dark gold cloak stepped forward. His tone was firm, and his gaze seemed determined.

 

The hall was originally in dead silence. The ministers looked at him in shock.

 

The other Princes of the Beast Court were astounded as well. No one was willing to take such a huge risk at this point. Even the Beast Ancestor was cautious.

 

They valued their lives, so they were not willing to get killed because of this matter. Reputation was less important than their lives, after all.

 

[It’s him, Di Kun. He had already gotten all the attention previously. Now, he still doesn’t forget to earn Father’s favour at this point. If it was so easy to deal with Land of Celestial Suffering, the Beast Court would’ve ruled over the entire world.]

 

The current Beast Overlord of the Beast Court, who was the Beast Ancestor’s Eldest Son, had been standing there in silence. He intended to steer clear of the matter.

 

But now, he could not help but glance at Di Kun who had just spoken. A cold glint flashed across his eyes.

 

The other Princes of the Beast Court squinted and looked at him while many thoughts turned over in their minds.

 

“You’re indeed my good Son, Di Kun. You never disappoint me. If you can help vent my anger just like the previous time, I don’t mind letting you become the Beast Overlord of the Beast Court. However, Land of Celestial Suffering has gotten the upper hand and we’ve suffered immense losses. It won’t be so easy for you to launch an attack on them. Have you made up your mind?” The Beast Ancestor looked meaningfully at Di Kun and swung his sleeve. He did not seem surprised that Di Kun would step forward.

 

He already knew how ambitious Di Kun was. During this period, he had been observing his skills and temperament. He discovered that he had indeed underestimated this Seventh Son of his previously.

 

Di Kun did not disappoint the Beast Ancestor by taking the initiative to launch an attack on Land of Celestial Suffering at this point.

 

On the other hand, the Beast Ancestor’s other children hung their heads low and remained silent as though this matter had nothing to do with them. This made the Beast Ancestor vexed and disappointed.

 

Di Kun’s gaze was burning with ambition. He had been waiting for this chance.

 

Without hesitation, he said, “Don’t worry, Father. I won’t disappoint you. Although Land of Celestial Suffering seems to be at an advantage and on the winning side, it’s not true. Those who have gotten the Dao’s favour will have a lot of help, and those who have lost the Dao’s favour will get little help. Chu Gucheng’s Fortuity is lacking, and he’s bound to face a reckoning. Although I’m not a match for him, I have a way to deal with him.”

 

Di Kun was confident and calm. It seemed that he truly had a way to deal with Chu Gucheng.

 

The ministers in the hall were astounded, wondering how Di Kun had the confidence to say such a thing.

 

Now, many Forces in the Primary Hope Civilisation did not think the Beast Court would win. Even other ancient Beast Races were staying away from the Beast Court and getting closer to Land of Celestial Suffering.

 

After receiving an invitation from Land of Celestial Suffering, some factions in Endless Beasts Territory sent some important people to attend the party.

 

In this situation, Di Kun still took the initiative to launch an attack on Land of Celestial Suffering and even had the confidence to say such a thing was bewildering.

 

[Does he really have a way? Or, was there someone behind him?]

 

“Alright. Since you’ve said so, I’ll naturally believe you. I’ll give you the Beast Gathering Conch. Within the Beast Court’s territory, everyone will have to obey your orders.”

 

A meaningful glint flashed across the Beast Ancestor’s eyes. Then, he waved his hand as the Beast Gathering Conch which was surrounded by Beastial Energy appeared in front of Di Kun.

 

He knew that Di Kun had some secrets.

 

He had never asked Di Kun how the latter found out the whereabouts of Chu Gucheng’s son and even killed him.

 

Upon hearing Di Kun’s words, he thought of some other matters.

 

Perhaps there would be a turning point for the war between the Beast Court and Land of Celestial Suffering.

 

“Thanks, Father. I’ll never disappoint you.” Di Kun was elated as he hurriedly took the Beast Gathering Conch.

 

He never expected the Beast Ancestor to directly give him the Beast Gathering Conch. Even his Eldest Brother, the current Beast Overlord of the Beast Court, had never received anything like that.

 

The ministers, Beast Generals, Beast Sovereigns, and Princes in the hall were astonished. Those Princes could hardly conceal their jealousy.

 

The Beast Gathering Conch was the symbol of the Beast Ancestor’s authority. It could be used to gather all the Beasts. But now, it had been given to Di Kun.

 

They could not accept it. What right did Di Kun have to receive such a treasure? Was it only because he was unafraid of death?

 

Di Kun swept a glance over the people in the hall and sneered. He knew what was on their minds, but he did not care.

 

Then, he cupped his fists at the Beast Ancestor and mentioned that he was heading to the front line. Following that, he turned around and stepped out of the hall. After turning into a Golden Crow surrounded by the True Flames of the Sun, he flew out of the Rogue Abyss.

 

Since Di Kun dared to say such a thing in front of so many people, he naturally had the confidence to achieve his goal.

 

He had never forgotten about the mysterious voice he had heard when he was on the Bloody Plateau.

 

The voice said that he would help him become the Beast Overlord and inform him of the whereabouts of Chu Xiao.

 

In Di Kun’s opinion, the owner of the voice must be a truly almighty being.

 

He must have his reasons for choosing to help him and making him a chess piece to kill Chu Xiao.

 

Di Kun was not foolish. He knew that the owner of the voice was using him to initiate a war between the Beast Court and Land of Celestial Suffering.

 

He was merely a chess piece. To be more precise, the entire Beast Court was a chess piece.

 

The other party was hidden in the dark and playing a game of chess on a chessboard named the Primary Hope Civilisation.

 

Di Kun was not against the idea because the other party’s plot was quite conspicuous.

 

If he wanted to become the Beast Overlord and take control of the Beast Court, he could not achieve his goal by moving on his own. He obviously needed the other party’s help.

 

It was a fair deal and he had made the decision. Unfortunately for those from Land of Celestial Suffering, they still were not aware that they were facing a horrifying enemy.

 

Di Kun sneered while feeling confident.

 

After leaving the Rogue Abyss, he headed straight to the front line where the Beast Court and Land of Celestial Suffering clashed. He intended to launch an attack.

 

He had no idea how to contact the owner of the voice. Back then, the person told him that he lived in the hearts of all living beings. He could feel their emotions as long as they had some desires.

 

Therefore, Di Kun knew that the other party would contact him again. He just had to wait.

 

The Boundless Expanse was boundless. In the Primary Hope Civilisation, there were countless great worlds and spacetimes.

 

Outside Purple Sky Mountain, Gu Changge, who was looking at the magnificent mountains with his hands behind his back, suddenly sensed something.

 

His expression changed slightly before he put on a smile.
