“It seems that Li Taiyi’s death is the key to everything. Heaven is probably certain that the Primal Insignia is in his hands! Otherwise, Heaven wouldn’t be doing everything in his power to find the other Doomsday Insignias!”

Origin Supreme sighed in understanding.

In truth, Heaven had many chances to collect the Doomsday Insignias, but he had not done so. It was only after a long while that he had chosen to move out.

It was now apparent that everything was closely linked.

“Your Highness, remember, you cannot let Heaven obtain the Primal Insignia. While Heaven does not have it, there is still hope. Otherwise, nothing will be able to prevent this world’s destruction,” Origin Supreme said to Wang Chong.

His lips trembled as if he wanted to say more, but a moment later, his face shivered and rapidly paled. He began to fiercely cough, expelling blood.

Rumble! The stone chamber began to shudder.

The Arab High Priest instantly grimaced.

In a boom of Stellar Energy, azure soul power erupted from the Arab High Priest’s body and transformed into various talismans that attached themselves to the walls.

The chamber quickly stabilized and Origin Supreme’s complexion rapidly improved.

“Origin Supreme, my spell cannot last for much longer. Tell him the most important parts,” the Arab High Priest sternly said, an urgent tone to his voice.

“Your Highness, you must remember everything I am about to say.

“First, it is not easy to meet with the Tibetan Plateau’s Unity Supreme, but if necessary, you must seek his help.

“Second, there is a war god worshiped by the Turks of the steppe who is also one of the Supremes. His name is Luo Supreme, and he secludes himself within Mount Yaluo.”

“A Turkic War God?”

Wang Chong’s eyes flew open upon hearing Origin Supreme’s words.

Wang Chong was no stranger to this term. The traitor of the Great Tang, An Lushan, had called himself the son of the Turkic War God.

Wang Chong had thought this a legend. For generations, in order to draw attention to their noble status, all sovereigns would call themselves reincarnations of gods or true dragons, and from this, many stories had been born.

But Wang Chong had never imagined that the legend would be true for An Lushan.

“Luo Supreme’s lay name was ‘Yaluo’. In order to remember his mortal life before he followed Heaven, he raised a part of the crust and called it ‘Mount Yaluo’. That An Lushan that you defeated was probably an accidental product from one of his affairs,” the Arab High Priest added, clearly familiar with these details.

Wang Chong said nothing, his heart trembling in shock.

Wang Chong had always been suspicious of divine legends like these, but it now appeared that while legends might have been fake, they had their bases in reality.

“...During that time of internal discord, many people left Heaven and left the Celestial God Organization. Luo Supreme was one of them, but his reasoning was different from all the others. Luo Supreme is extremely selfish, and he has always had a powerful desire for authority. However, he lacked the strength and could never surpass Heaven. After that internal strife, Luo Supreme departed and seemingly disappeared.”

Origin Supreme continued to speak.

“Luo Supreme has always been very fearful of Heaven, so he has been extremely inconspicuous over the years. He calls himself the Turkic War God, but he has barely ever displayed any divine skills, leaving behind only a few female priests.

“But what is key is that Luo Supreme holds one of Heaven’s important secrets. Other than Essence Supreme, only Luo Supreme knows where Heaven is sealed.

“No matter what, you cannot let Heaven get out. If you wish to truly save the world, find Luo Supreme, find where Heaven is sealed, and defeat him where he is sealed. This is the only hope for the world.”

Origin Supreme’s voice grew weaker and weaker, the light in his eyes rapidly dimming.

“Senior!”

Wang Chong’s heart shivered. He knew that Origin Supreme couldn’t last for much longer.

Bang!

A moment later, Wang Chong unleashed a vast torrent of Grotto Heaven Stellar Energy that he sent into Origin Supreme’s head.

But on the moment of contact, Wang Chong realized to his shock that Origin Supreme’s situation was even worse than he had envisioned.

Origin Supreme’s soul was shattered and full of holes. It was actually a miracle that he could still remain conscious and speak with him.

“Your Highness, this is the last remnant of my soul and contains countless years’ worth of memories. It might be useful to you in your future battle against Heaven!”

Origin Supreme looked at Wang Chong, his complexion turning a healthy red for a moment, seeming even healthier than an ordinary person.

The Arab High Priest and Wang Chong both shivered.

This was a soul echo, a sign that the last sliver of Origin Supreme’s soul was about to disperse.

Buzz!

Origin Supreme’s mouth opened, and a golden Buddha sarira slowly made its way toward Wang Chong.

(TN: A sarira is a bead-shaped object that is purported to be found amongst the cremated ashes of enlightened Buddhist masters.)

“A Buddha sarira!”

The Arab High Priest’s eyelids dropped as he let out a long sigh.

The Supremes of the Celestial God Organization had various identities. Just like how Luo Supreme was known as the Turkic War God on the steppe and had created many myths, Origin Supreme had another important identity within Sindhu.

Starting from a very long time ago, Origin Supreme was known to the natives as the Buddha, and he had created the Buddhist culture of Sindhu.

The Buddha sarira was Origin Supreme’s core. Extracting the Buddha sarira meant that Origin Supreme would completely disappear.

Buzz!

In the blink of an eye, the golden Buddha sarira disappeared into Wang Chong’s forehead. The head on the stone table quickly grew still, and that energy belonging to Origin Supreme vanished.

“Ha...”

The Arab High Priest let out a long sigh, a look of deep sorrow on his face.

Sindhu and Arabia were nearby, and the two of them had a much deeper relationship than many would expect. In the end, he had watched a friend pass.

“Grandmaster, go well.”

“Your Highness, my mission is done. This place can’t last for much longer, so you should leave. I hope that Origin Supreme did not make the wrong choice, and I hope that you will not disappoint me.”

With this said, the Arab High Priest prepared to leave.

“Senior!”

After a few moments of silence, Wang Chong called out, “Are we enemies or friends?”

Wang Chong had many questions about this High Priest. In many aspects, they were friends, but Wang Chong felt from the Arab High Priest’s actions that things were far more complicated than they seemed.

“Neither.” The Arab High Priest looked at Wang Chong and calmly said, “Before I leave, I have something important to tell you. Though you have subdued the other countries in the war of the northeast, you cannot drop your guard. From what I know, Heaven is preparing to summon the Celestial Army.”

“The Celestial Army?”

Wang Chong’s eyes twitched.

The High Priest did not say any more. Rather, he pressed a finger against Wang Chong’s forehead, and Wang Chong was instantly drawn into a different world.

Rumble!

In a flash of light and rumble of thunder, Wang Chong discovered that he was in a massive underground space.

He was confused at first, but in a flash of light, a golden-armored soldier ‘appeared’ before him. This soldier had a black symbol on his forehead, and his eyes were closed, his expression calm. His body was laid on a stone platform that was nearly as tall as Wang Chong, motionless as if he was sleeping.

A second, a third, a fourth...

This underground space was packed with these slumbering golden warriors.

Even though they were sleeping, Wang Chong could still sense a formidable power in their bodies. But most astonishing was their number. Wang Chong sensed that there were at least one million of them.

“...Over the numerous eras, Heaven has been training an extremely powerful army.” The Arab High Priest’s voice rang out in his ear. “With each cycle, he will select the finest soldiers of the epoch and use a secret technique so that they will become soldiers that only heed his command. This is a power that belongs solely to Heaven, and their sole reason for existence is to deal with situations like this one.”

Wang Chong’s expression was grave. He knew that the High Priest was showing him his memories of seeing the Celestial Army.

“Although you have subdued the alliance and made them part of your own strength, even expanding the Great Tang to cover the entire continent, things are far from over. When drafting the Purification plan, Heaven accounted for what would happen if he encountered some powerful resistance that he could not take down through mortal forces. The Celestial Army exists for Heaven to ensure that his plan can be implemented.

“In the future, the difficulties you face will be far more difficult than you can imagine. It is best if you prepare yourself.”

The High Priest’s somber voice rang out in his ear as the scene dispersed and the two returned to the cave.

Wang Chong looked at the High Priest, his heart heavy. He had not imagined this development.

If what the High Priest said was true and the Celestial God Organization still had this hidden card, the situation facing the continent would be much graver than he had imagined.

“How much longer?” Wang Chong suddenly asked.

The Arab High Priest subtly nodded.

As someone who could so quickly get ahold of himself and think of countermeasures, Wang Chong truly possessed attributes that others did not.

“It won’t be that soon.

“It won’t be until Heaven has completely freed himself, but it won’t be that long. Whether or not you can stop the Celestial Army will depend on how well you utilize your time,” the Arab High Priest sternly said, giving Wang Chong a profound look.
