At the base of Gourd Village, the ground had completely transformed into a massive screen, displaying everything happening in the Bone Realm.
So, John Chou, how confident are you? You should have figured out a lot by now, right?
My father asked, and John Chou shook his head.
I'm less than ten percent sure. There’s simply not enough time. The Bloodbane Power inside your daughter has just begun to mutate, and it needs more time to fully develop. Unfortunately, time is something we don’t have.
I looked at John Chou, my expression grave.
Is it Emperor God and his forces?
John Chou nodded.
The war in Netherhell has already begun. Emperor God and his forces plan to take the Underworld Court first.
I watched John Chou’s expression, realizing things had reached their most critical moment.
What about those people from the Immortality Society?
John Chou shook his head.
Right now, we can't determine their whereabouts.
John Chou, I think you should continue teaching Roxie for now. At least it might improve...
Before my father could finish, John Chou spoke.
I've taught her everything I can. From here, it's up to her. Power always comes from the soul, and what kind of strength one can gain depends on their soul's nature. Have the Guides prepare the Fourfold Beast Array. In the worst case, when the Corpse Ancestor breaks free from the Bone Realm's restraints, we need something to counter him. We should begin preparations now.
My father watched John Chou float upward, his expression darkening. John Chou glanced at me—I nodded. Instantly, he transformed into a streak of red light and flew off into the distance.
It looks like the Ghost Sovereigns have decided to go in. After all, no matter what Tan Tian tries, he can't find a breakthrough. Earlier, John Chou mentioned that ever since the Corpse Ancestor left with the Union of Three Souls, his attention has never left Tan Tian. So he knows all of Tan Tian's moves and powers—that's the most troublesome part.
I immediately thought of the Corpse Ancestor's Heavenly Soul wandering endlessly in the Yin-Yang Realm. It's definitely possible.
Seeing my father's helpless expression, just then, both of us heard a commotion coming from nearby.
Let's go check it out first, Roxie.
