Chapter 890: A Grand Gift

The cultivation level and strength of the black robe clone and Qin Changqing's original body were exactly the same. Naturally, he had to endure whatever Qin Changqing endured. He was also somewhat unable to withstand the Aura emitted by the Moral Heavenly Worthy, though it was impossible to tell from the surface.

Qin Changqing had always shown his true face to others, allowing him to be himself without anyone suspecting him; instead, they felt such a performance from the original body was normal.

But the black robe clone was different. He represented the most powerful reliance behind Qin Changqing, an existence more terrifying than the Three Pure Ones; naturally, he could not be crushed!

As many years had passed, Qin Changqing had reached a level of perfection in this regard. He secretly used his cultivation level to forcibly suppress his body's uncontrollable trembling, maintaining an incredibly indifferent state.

“Taiqing, do you not recognize this seat?”

The black robe clone spoke slowly, sounding somewhat emotional: “Speaking of which, you should actually call this seat 'Elder Brother'!”

Elder Brother!

The Moral Heavenly Worthy's entire body shook, an expression of disbelief appearing in his eyes.

What a joke!

This seat was among the very first batch of deities born when the world was created, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to be called the Ancestor of All Things. On what basis should I call you 'Elder Brother'!

However, the other party's indifferent state and certain expression caused a sense of uncertainty and suspicion to arise within the Moral Heavenly Worthy.

“Are you joking with this old man?”

The smile that had always been hanging on the corner of the Moral Heavenly Worthy's mouth disappeared, replaced by coldness and doubt: “Do you know the consequences of deceiving this old man?”

The black robe clone remained calm, though in reality, his heart was panicking. However, there was no other way now; he could only activate his grand art of deception!

“Back then, when the world was born, the Creator's body opened the heavens and earth, transforming his body into all things, while his Primordial Spirit split into three: Shangqing, Taiqing, and Yuqing!”

He pointed at the Moral Heavenly Worthy and asked with a smile: “The Creator God's Primordial Spirit not only possessed powerful cultivation level but also contained the immense Karma of opening the heavens and the power of the Heavenly Dao. This is also the origin of your birth, is it not?”

The Moral Heavenly Worthy snorted coldly: “This is something known to all the world. So what if it is?”

The black robe clone shook his head: “Then this seat asks you, since the Creator God was so powerful that he could even open the heavens and earth, and he worked so hard to create this world, why would he dissipate everything? Even his Primordial Spirit vanished, and he cannot even sense the world he created. What then was the point of everything he did?”

These words left the Moral Heavenly Worthy momentarily stunned.

When they first developed consciousness, the world had already finished evolving. In truth, they were not entirely clear about what had happened before that. They could only feel an incredibly intimate and familiar sensation from this world, including among the Three Pure Ones themselves, feeling as if the three were originally one.

The legend of the Creator God was actually just their own speculation, intended to indirectly prove their own noble lineage and strength.

As for whether the Creator God truly existed and whether this world was truly opened by the Creator God, even they themselves were not certain.

“What exactly are you trying to say?”

The Moral Heavenly Worthy narrowed his eyes and asked.

The black robe clone gave a light smile: “This seat only wants to tell you that whether the Creator God exists or not, even this seat is not clear. However, this seat was indeed born before the three of you. In other words, this seat watched you grow and take shape! It is not too much for you to call me 'Elder Brother'!”

These words immediately caused the Moral Heavenly Worthy's face to twist, truly breaking his composure.

What a joke! This fellow actually claimed to have watched the three of them grow up. It was simply the most ridiculous thing in the world!

Back when the Divine Realm had not yet split, looking across the entire Divine Realm, who would dare speak to them like this!

Wait!

The Moral Heavenly Worthy stared at the black robe clone, his heart suddenly stirring.

The three of them had actually gained considerable benefits during that Great Calamity. After smelting the various gods, they had each obtained tens of thousands of portions of Heavenly Dao power. However, they discovered a problem: even if they smelted all the gods along with all the Heavenly Venerables and Saints, it would be absolutely impossible to obtain all of the Heavenly Dao power!

In other words, more than half of the Heavenly Dao power was missing, controlled by some unknown, mysterious existence!

One hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred portions of Heavenly Dao power—this was the Number of One Yuan. Who possessed such terrifying strength to control so much Heavenly Dao power?

Could it be this fellow in front of him!

The Moral Heavenly Worthy's pupils shrank, his heart trembling.

If it were truly so, the person before him might actually be as he said, born even before himself.

He was very likely the first Innate Being to be born, which was why he had such a heavenly Opportunity to control so much Heavenly Dao power all at once!

With such terrifying strength, even if the three of them joined forces now, it would likely be very difficult to deal with him!

The Moral Heavenly Worthy took a deep breath, his fingers trembling slightly as he tried to silently calculate this person's origins.

But he then discovered to his horror that anything related to this person was shrouded by heavenly secrets, hazy and completely impossible to see through!

Of course, for the Three Pure Ones to be able to plot against the gods and even include numerous Heavenly Venerables and Saints in their schemes, both their methods and their intellect had reached an incredibly frightening level. It was impossible for them to be intimidated by the black robe clone so easily.

“Since Fellow Daoist claims to be this old man's elder brother and was born before the three of us, then this old man would very much like to test just how powerful Elder Brother's strength has reached! Forgive my offense!”

A light flashed in the Moral Heavenly Worthy's eyes. He suddenly waved his right hand, and two strands of clear Qi—one black and one white—abruptly surged behind him, as a massive Taiji Diagram slowly rose at his back.

Seeing this scene, the black robe clone was suddenly startled.

His tried-and-true method of acting grand had actually failed!

This Moral Heavenly Worthy was indeed worthy of being one of the Three Pure Ones; he couldn't be intimidated at all!

To make such an existence submit, words alone were useless; one had to have real ability!

Qin Changqing secretly gritted his teeth. He was currently only in the Heavenly God realm, and the gap between him and a Heavenly Venerable was simply too large. Even if he staked everything and threw in his entire lifespan, it would be basically impossible to shake the existence before him!

Was his plan going to end before it even began?

Qin Changqing glanced at Yang Jian and the others who were still frozen in place by the Time-stop, sighing in his heart.

If he really couldn't withstand it, he could only retreat first and wait until his strength improved.

Fortunately, these fellows were frozen by the Time-stop and didn't know what was happening; otherwise, the boast he had made would be exposed!

The Taiji Diagram behind the Moral Heavenly Worthy had now expanded into the air. An indescribably profound Aura began to ripple. From the Void Realm, streaks of light were extracted and merged into the Taiji Diagram, quickly transforming into a massive Furnace of Heaven and Earth that pressed down fiercely towards the black robe clone.

“Elder Brother, this can be considered our first meeting. Please accept this grand gift!”

A confident smile curled on the Moral Heavenly Worthy's lips. His giant hand in the void was entwined with various colors of brilliance, locking down the surrounding space and even time. He had no intention of giving the black robe clone any chance to escape, wanting to suppress him in one fell swoop!
