Chapter 1727: Chapter 574: Now This Is Interesting
"Indeed!" Although Chu Xisheng had a smile at the corner of his lips, his expression was noncommittal.
To resurrect these four ancestor corpses, he had to pay such a great price and risk harming the national fortune; he must be mad to agree.
Even if these four ancestor corpses might possess power nearing that of the Lishan Old Mother.
Even if this drought was the mother of Ji Yang, Chu Xisheng could not agree to such an absurd thing.
The drought ghost clearly saw his thoughts and explained: "Your Majesty! Our plan to invert Yin and Yang for the Initial ’Heavenly Gaze’ is not just for ourselves.
To be blunt, although we four are already dead spirits, we can still attain eternal longevity in another form. To us, ’life and death’ are more an obsession we want to fulfill, rather than concerning life. However, the Initial Heavenly Gaze is crucial to the Human Clan’s Qi Fortune, even a matter of life and death!"
Chu Xisheng remained expressionless, raising an eyebrow: "I would like to hear more."
"Let me speak."
Hou Qing’s voice was deep and cold: "Your Majesty, people only know of the corpse poison of the Heavenly Gaze, naturally restraining our Human Clan bloodline, yet they only know one part of it, not the other. The corpse poison of this divinely created Divine Beast is powerful for two reasons: firstly, because its body integrates the bloodline power and curses of All Gods; secondly, it relates to its Yin and Yang nature.
The Initial Heavenly Gaze is an Extreme Yin Body, so its toxicity is particularly intense. Anyone infected by it cannot defend against its Extreme Yin poison. Those lacking strength at the time became its puppets, controlled by it.
Those with slightly stronger abilities like us directly turned from Extreme Yin to Extreme Yang, becoming Extremely Yang Bodies. Although not controlled by it, they too would lose their reason. Back then, we initial poison corpses lost spiritual wisdom, wandering the world like walking dead, leaving devastation wherever they went, burning everything, known by the people as Drought Ghosts, amongst whom the most powerful was the Princess.
At this point, his voice paused: "So if we convert the Extreme Yin Body of the Initial Heavenly Gaze to an Extremely Yang Body, what then?"
Chu Xisheng couldn’t help but exchange glances with Lu Luanti, both seeing the astonishment in each other’s eyes.
"—Then the corpse poison will undergo corresponding changes, the bloodline power and curses of All Gods infused in the Heavenly Gaze will reverse, acting upon themselves, creating deadly toxins against them in the body of Heavenly Gaze. This weapon created by the gods is bound to sound their death knell!"
At this moment, the drought ghost’s voice was exceptionally cold: "They will inevitably lose the Innate Divine Body they’ve had since the Chaos, lose their source of power, and the situation will be worse than ours back then."
Hou Qing then said in a concentrating tone: "Your Majesty, all it takes is your approval of this matter. Then, after it, you will not only gain our loyalty, but we four can also help you at an opportune time to refine the Initial Heavenly Gaze, forging this peerless Divine Weapon into your own imperial beast."
Chu Xisheng inwardly chuckled.
This talk by Hou Qing was like painting a grand vision, all talk but no substance.
However, he was still quite interested: "I want to know, why didn’t you seek help from the Three Generations of the Saint Emperor seventeen hundred centuries ago?"
Hou Qing let out a bitter laugh: "We did seek help, but the Three Generations of the Saint Emperor couldn’t do it. When the Saint Emperor ascended the throne, the Human Clan had just suffered internal chaos and disaster, with only three or four out of ten surviving in the Thirty-Six States south of the Iron Wall. The Dragon Energy gathered by the Saint Emperor was utterly incapable of supporting the Yin Yang Reversal Technique.
Only in today’s world, due to the Blood Vengeance Blade Lord, the population is thriving as never before, creating some hope. However, there’s still a prerequisite, Your Majesty must deeply win the people’s hearts, thus gathering popular support—"
