Star Odyssey

lf.
He then ordered all of Chaosgod Mountain’s disciples to watch as Nightking Zhenwu liberated the Dayking bloodline.
He wanted to have his juniors see what it meant to truly stand at the peak.
In the entire younger generation of the Innerverse and Outerverse, there was nobody else who could compete with Nightking Zhenwu.
The youth had plenty of ambition.

***

All the organizations in the eight great flowzones, including the Hall of Honor, were shocked by the news that Nightking Zhenwu was going to liberate the Dayking bloodline, and their impression of Nightking Zhenwu rose by several levels.
Only with the ambition that allowed one to endure everything would they eventually reach a supreme realm.
While many understood this logic, too few could actually achieve it. 

When the Dayking bloodline was liberated, the impact on the Nightking bloodline would be tremendous.
However, since Nightking Zhenwu was willing to liberate the Dayking bloodline, it showed his great ambition as well as his charismatic influence that had won over the older members of the Nightking bloodline. 

This kid had all of the qualifications needed to reach the top, and success would naturally follow him in the future. 

At this moment, everyone was astonished by Nightking Zhenwu.
No matter if they were friend or foe, everyone was overwhelmed by his decision. 

At this time, Nightking Zhenwu’s image seemed to be superimposed over the First Nightking’s, and the resurging momentum was enough to completely counteract his crushing defeat when Lu Yin had surpassed the Nightking to ascend the Night Watch Pagoda. 

In Evernight Square, Nightking Zhenwu’s lips revealed a smile, and he reached out a hand toward Zhuo Daynight with an encouraging expression.
“Come, I’ll help you remove the Sealed Cage Technique.” 

The Fireplume Tribe’s song rang out, as if cheering for the Dayking bloodline.

Down below, tens of thousands of people from the Dayking bloodline grew emotional.
They had all been waiting for this day for far too long, and they had all been treated as slaves without any human rights.
Even if they were told to die, they could only obey and die.
They had never imagined that they would one day taste freedom.
They could not wait to rid themselves of the burdensome Sealed Cage Technique as soon as possible.

Zhuo Daynight stared at Nightking Zhenwu.
Her originally apprehensive heart had calmed down.
Although Nightking Zhenwu was untrustworthy, he would not break this promise that had been made in front of the entire universe.
She finally relaxed, and this was precisely the moment at which the Fireplume Tribe’s song rang out. 

Nightking Zhenwu grabbed Zhuo Daynight’s hand, and in the furthest depths of his eyes, there was an impenetrable, incisive coldness as well as an extremely well hidden bit of ridicule.
This iota of ridicule was something that nobody could see aside from Lu Yin.
He was already aware of Nightking Zhenwu’s plan, and Lu Yin had never believed that Nightking Zhenwu would willingly release the Dayking bloodline from the start. 

Lu Yin’s expression drastically changed when he saw Nightking Zhenwu’s expression.
This was not good. 

Zhuo Daynight had just placed her right hand against Nightking Zhenwu’s body when, suddenly, Nightking Zhenwu’s expression completely changed.
At that moment, his hand that was touching Zhuo Daynight suddenly turned jet-black, and a drop of blood fell down, corroding the ground.
He kicked Zhuo Daynight aside and bellowed, “You’re trying to poison me?!”

Zhuo Daynight flew back dozens of meters from the kick, and her face became deathly white as blood dripped down from her lips.
She looked at Nightking Zhenwu, completely bewildered.

Everyone was confused; what was happening?

Nightking Zhenwu’s indignant and disappointed voice snarled out.
“Zhuo Daynight, why are you scheming against me? I’ve already promised to liberate the Dayking bloodline—do you really just not want to see me become one of the Cosmic Five? Is your hatred for the Nightking bloodline that deep?”

“Brother!” Nightqueen Yanqing cried out, and she raced over to hold up Nightking Zhenwu’s hand.
It had become jet-black, and he had clearly been poisoned quite badly.

Within the crowd, the Nightking clan’s elites all charged forward, bloodlust filling their eyes, as they prepared to kill Zhuo Daynight.

Zhuo Daynight was completely confused, and she could not understand what was happening. 

“Stop!” Nightking Zhenwu commanded.
He kept all of the Nightking members from attacking as he stared at Zhuo Daynight.
“Why are you working against me?” 

Zhuo Daynight’s expression was completely white, and she simply kept shaking her head.
“No, I didn’t! I didn’t do anything to you!”

Nightking Zhenwu’s icy eyes were fixated on her.

Nightqueen Yanqing was furious, and she glared at Zhuo Daynight.
“You Dayking bloodline members are all despicable! Kill her!”

One Nightking member could not wait any longer, and they charged at Zhuo Daynight.

At that moment, Zhanlong Daynight appeared in front of Zhuo Daynight.
He looked at Nightking Zhenwu and quickly said, “Senior, before this is looked into, please do not make any assumptions.”

“What’s there to misunderstand? The members of the Dayking bloodline want to kill off my Nightking bloodline’s best opportunity of gaining a Progenitor! Not only are they betraying the Daynight clan, but they are also betraying the Fifth Mainland itself.
Exterminate the Dayking bloodline!”

“Exterminate the Dayking bloodline!” 

“Exterminate the Dayking bloodline!”

…

Nobody had expected that the situation would suddenly take a turn for the worst.
Everything had been perfectly fine just a moment ago, but it had reversed in an instant.

Even the guiding powers of the various great flowzones who had experienced untold events were all stunned.
For a moment, they could not process what had just happened.

“Zhanlong Daynight, you’re from the Dayking bloodline as well.
You also have to die!” the Nightking bloodline members shrieked.

The nearby members of the Nightking clan surrounded the two, their eyes filled with bloodlust as they stared at Zhanlong and Zhuo Daynight.

Zhuo Daynight bit down hard on her lips.
Others might not know it, but she was absolutely certain that she had not done anything to Nightking Zhenwu, which meant that there was only one possible explanation: Nightking Zhenwu was scheming against her.

But why? Just why? The Dayking bloodline was already completely enslaved to the Nightking bloodline, and they had been manipulated for countless years.
Even their lives and deaths were under the Nightking bloodline’s control.
Why would Zhenwu go to such lengths to do all this? 

Zhuo Daynight’s eyes went slack, and her mind stopped processing the situation.
Why did Nightking Zhenwu have to do such a thing to her? 

Nightking Zhenwu carefully observed Zhuo Daynight and approached her, step by step.

Zhuo Daynight stared back at him, dumbfounded.
“Why? Why do all this?”

Nightking Zhenwu lowered his head and softly explained, “You can only blame yourself for comprehending Night’s End, Daybreak.
If you want to blame someone, then blame yourself for revealing Night’s End, Daybreak for a useless person’s sake.
Right, he’s already been poisoned, and you were the one who gave it to him.
Have you already forgotten?” 

Zhuo Daynight’s pupils shrank; that wine had been poisoned?!
