Why did you provoke her? Even Heaven itself is afraid of her.

Chapter 302 Chu Tianshu's Secret

At Chu Tianshu's call, the Western Ling Kingdom acted swiftly.

General Chuhe selected the most elite soldiers in the country and trained them day and night, preparing to go with Ling Yun and others to the ancient altar deep in the Dark Abyss.

Chu Yao also personally participated in the preparations, preparing various supplies for everyone to deal with the dangers of the Dark Abyss.

everything's ready.

Ling Yun and his group, along with the warriors of the Western Spirit Kingdom, are about to embark on their journey.

As they walked out of the palace gates, they were stopped by the sound of rapid hoofbeats.

A messenger dressed in magnificent attire, riding a tall horse, arrived hurriedly with a troop of men.

The visitor was none other than the envoy from the Eastern Spirit Kingdom.

He dismounted, looking flustered, and quickly walked to the crowd, raising his hand to block their path.

Then he shouted, "Wait! You must not go to that ancient altar! This is all a conspiracy!"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

Ling Yun stepped forward and asked in confusion, "Your Excellency, what do you mean? We have received definite information that the Black Hole Saint King is attempting to use the ancient altar to release the power of the Dark Core. If we do not stop him, the entire interstellar universe will be in danger."

The envoy from Dongling Kingdom took a breath and said urgently, "You may not know this, but our Dongling Kingdom has also been paying close attention to the movements of the Dark Abyss. Recently, we received a secret report that the so-called ancient altar that can release the power of the Dark Core is actually a false message deliberately spread by the Black Hole Saint King. His purpose is to lure all forces there so that he can wipe them all out in one fell swoop."

Chu Yao frowned, her face full of suspicion.

"You say this is a conspiracy, but do you have any evidence? How can we give up on stopping the Black Hole Saint King's actions based on just a few words from you?"

The messenger took out a secret letter from his bosom and handed it to Chu Tianshu.

"Your Majesty, this is a secret letter sent at great risk by our informant who was planted within the Black Hole Saint King's forces. It details their conspiracy."

Chu Tianshu took the secret letter, examined it carefully, and his expression grew increasingly solemn.

After reading it, he handed the secret letter to Chu He, Ling Yun, and others for circulation.

The secret letter clearly states that the Black Hole Saint King knew that Ling Yun and the others were running around trying to stop him, so he set up the ancient altar as a trap, intending to use his pre-laid forces to annihilate everyone when they gathered at the altar.

After reading the secret letter, Qin Feng angrily slammed his fist into a nearby stone pillar.

"This Black Hole Saint King is too cunning; I almost fell for his trick."

Lin Ximeng also looked worried.

"But if the ancient altar is indeed a trap, how can we stop the Black Hole Saint? His conspiracy will never end here."

For a moment, everyone fell into silence.

The team, which had just been full of fighting spirit, was now shrouded in gloom.

General Chuhe pondered for a moment and said, "Since this is a trap, we cannot rush in. But we also cannot give up. We must devise a new plan and find out the true conspiracy of the Black Hole Saint King."

Ling Yun nodded in agreement.

"The general is absolutely right. Envoy from the Eastern Spirit Kingdom, do you have any other information about the Black Hole Saint King?"

The messenger shook his head: "This secret letter is the most crucial information we've obtained so far. The Black Hole Saint King is extremely cautious, and his stronghold is heavily guarded, making it difficult for our informants to penetrate any further. However..."

Seeing that he hesitated, Ling Yun pressed him for an answer: "But what? Do you know any other way?"

The envoy from Dongling Kingdom nodded slightly.

"Within the Dark Abyss, there exist four great spiritual kingdoms: East, West, South, and North. Each of these kingdoms possesses a national treasure. Legend has it that whoever obtains these four national treasures can unify the Dark Abyss and become the true ruler of the Dark Abyss."

Upon hearing this, Chu Tianshu shouted sternly, "Enough! Envoy of Dongling Kingdom. If you don't want to die, get out of my territory with your people from Dongling Kingdom. From now on, I never want to see you again."

The envoy from Dongling Kingdom was not afraid of Chu Tianshu at all.

She questioned him, "Your Majesty, why are you in such a panic? If I'm not mistaken, you're afraid I'll reveal the earth-shattering secret you're trying to hide, aren't you?"

Chu Tianshu's face instantly darkened, and his aura subtly fluctuated. The guards behind him immediately placed their hands on their sword hilts, and the atmosphere became tense.

Chu Yao stepped forward, blocking her father's path, and glared angrily at the envoy from Dongling Kingdom.

"Stop talking nonsense and spouting rubbish!"

The envoy from Dongling Kingdom laughed loudly, his laughter echoing in front of the empty palace.

"Haha, Your Majesty, why are you so angry? This secret has been hidden for so many years, it's time to reveal it."

After saying that, he looked at Ling Yun and the others.

"Do you think the Dark Abyss is just a simple, mysterious place? The four great spiritual kingdoms have guarded the Dark Abyss for generations, yet they harbor deep-seated hatred for each other. Behind all this, it is the Black Hole Saint King who is causing trouble."

General Chuhe frowned, his eyes piercing.

"You say the Black Hole Saint King is behind this, what evidence do you have? Don't try to sow discord here."

The envoy snorted coldly.

"Evidence? The great war between the Western Ling Kingdom and the Southern Ling Kingdom a hundred years ago started from a small border skirmish, but it escalated into a war with countless deaths and injuries. Was there no mastermind behind it?"

"And why does the territorial dispute between the Northern Spirit Kingdom and the Eastern Spirit Kingdom always escalate at crucial moments? Over the years, the Black Hole Saint King has secretly supported various forces and instigated conflicts among the four kingdoms, with the aim of keeping us from paying attention to his conspiracy."

"I wonder if it's the Dark Abyss, or even the Primordial Universe!"

Ling Yun was startled, vaguely sensing that the secret behind this was far more complex than he had imagined.

"Then what does this have to do with the Hongmeng universe?"

The messenger, with a solemn expression, replied to Lingyun, "The Primordial Universe is the origin of everything, and the Dark Abyss is also closely related to it."

"Tens of thousands of years ago, a world-shaking war broke out in the primordial universe, and a powerful demon god was sealed in the depths of the Dark Abyss. The Black Hole Saint King attempted to break the demon god's seal and use the demon god's power to rule the universe. And the national treasures of these four spiritual kingdoms are the key to breaking the demon god's seal."

Chu Tianshu's face turned deathly pale. He took a step back and murmured, "This... how is this possible?"

The envoy continued, "Your Majesty, when you ascended the throne of Xiling Kingdom, did you truly believe it was through your own strength? You must not be unaware of who was helping you behind the scenes?"

Chu Tianshu swayed as if he had been struck in a vital spot, and Chu Yao quickly supported him.

General Chuhe looked at Chu Tianshu, his eyes filled with shock and confusion.

"Your Majesty, what... what exactly is going on?"

Chu Tianshu sighed and slowly said, "Back then, I was just an unfavored prince of the Western Spirit Kingdom, and the throne was not meant for me. Just when I was almost in despair, a mysterious person appeared. He said he could help me ascend the throne, on the condition that I secretly protect the Western Spirit Kingdom's national treasure and not let anyone touch it. I was blinded by power at the time, so I agreed. Later I found out that the power behind him was the Black Hole Saint King."

Chu Yao looked at her father in disbelief: "Father, how could you..."
