Chapter 1374: The Final Resort

Just as Xu Fan was about to sit back and enjoy the show, his spirit was abruptly pulled into the spirit space by Number One Avatar.

"What’s going on? Did your major backer find out something?" Xu Fan asked.

"Almost. You need to prepare quickly. We will definitely crack that piece of Fragments of Cause and Effect within five years," Number One Avatar said with a serious look.

"Five years," Xu Fan thought to himself and immediately instructed Grape to come up with a plan.

"Just hurry up. If things don’t work out, I’ll use the temporary Primordial Supreme Treasure I just developed to buy us some time."

"I’m sure my major backer will be very interested," Number One Avatar added.

"Any progress? Share the details with me," Xu Fan said, his face lighting up with excitement.

"Given the current situation, shouldn’t you be more worried about being discovered?"

"Don’t worry. I have a trump card that can hold off that chaotic Great God or Demon," Xu Fan said, thinking of another Primordial Supreme Treasure owned by the Yuan Lord.

"Alright, as long as you have a plan," Number One Avatar nodded and then disappeared from the spirit space.

When Xu Fan snapped back to reality, he saw that Lord of the Demon Domain and Saint Wanchuan were already locked in battle.

The entire area spanning tens of thousands of light armor regions had become their battlefield.

"What just happened?" the Yuan Lord asked as he watched the fight.

"Remember when we were discovered by a chaotic Great God or Demon? I erased the cause and effect."

"But it wasn’t completely erased. That chaotic Great God or Demon managed to leave a trace behind."

"After years of trying to decipher it, I’ve learned that within five years, that chaotic Great God or Demon will likely pinpoint the location of the human race," Xu Fan explained slowly.

"A chaotic Great God or Demon in five years," the Yuan Lord frowned.

"Sticking to this timeline is really…" the Yuan Lord felt a mix of emotions that were hard to describe.

If they had just a few more years, after moving to a new location farther from the God Demon Empire, they could have severed that lingering cause and effect.

He understood the logic, but seeing this timeline made the Yuan Lord uneasy.

"Does Xu the Divine Master have a solution? My Primordial Supreme Treasure can serve as a backup," the Yuan Lord said, sounding a bit concerned.

"That piece of cause and effect is now in the hands of the chaotic Great God or Demon. No matter what I do, it will leave traces."

"If we’re far away, it’s manageable, but if we’re close, that chaotic Great God or Demon can reach the Three Thousand Realms in an instant."

"Keep that Primordial Supreme Treasure safe for now; use it only when absolutely necessary," Xu Fan advised.

"Alright," the Yuan Lord nodded.

After their conversation, they turned their attention back to the contest arena where Lord of the Demon Domain and Saint Wanchuan were fighting, but they felt a bit bored.

"Are we still watching?" the Yuan Lord asked.

"Let’s keep watching. If we leave early, they might end up fighting behind our backs," Xu Fan replied.

He watched as various chaotic wide roads clashed, unleashing powers capable of destroying the Immortal Realm.

"From a spectator’s point of view, this fight deserves an 8 out of 10," Xu Fan decided to stick around and watch the entire battle.

As for the issue with the chaotic Great God or Demon, Xu Fan chose not to dwell on it any further.

When soldiers come, block them; when water flows, use dirt to stop it. With the Yuan Lord’s support, Xu Fan felt his sense of crisis diminish significantly.

The battle between Lord of the Demon Domain and Saint Wanchuan had continued for half a month.

Neither side could gain the upper hand, and with a cold snort, they both left.

Xu Fan and the Yuan Lord first returned to the Yuanshi Sect to discuss how to block that chaotic Great God or Demon when the time came.

"Initially, I had a plan to pay a high cost to invite the Great Saint Powerful Being from the Heavenly Merchant Clan to take charge."

"At first, the Heavenly Merchant Clan was quite willing, but when they heard the location of the human race, they rejected the idea."

"The Heavenly Merchant Clan stated that the human race is located within the pastures of the God Demon Empire."

"The pastures of the God Demon Empire in the Chaotic Mist Area are an absolute taboo for them; sending powerful beings into their pastures is seen as the greatest provocation."

"It would be an all-out fight to the death," Xu Fan said with some regret. After all, this was something that could have been solved with chaotic truth.

They had originally agreed on a price with the Heavenly Merchant Clan through the Heavenly Position Pearl, but he did not expect such an unusual change to occur.

"The name ‘pasture’ alone gives off an ominous feeling. We must leave this Chaotic Mist Area."

"You don’t need to worry too much, Xu the Divine Master. If worst comes to worst, I will use that Primordial Supreme Treasure," the Yuan Lord’s gaze began to firm up.

Behind him appeared a faint virtual image of the chaotic Great God or Demon, radiating a supreme aura.

Xu Fan nodded at the virtual image of the chaotic Great God or Demon.

"I will set up some detection Formations around the Three Thousand Realms, hoping to detect the arrival of the chaotic Great God or Demon as early as possible."

As Xu Fan spoke, his figure disappeared, beginning to arrange various detection Formations around the Three Thousand Realms.

Three years later, on a land of gods and demons close to the central continent of the Beast God Demon Empire, a chaotic Great God or Demon slowly opened his eyes. He looked at the piece of Fragments of Cause and Effect in his hand and smiled.

"Three Thousand Realms, human race, that future Primordial Artifact Master renowned in the Chaotic Mist Area."

"Perfect! I didn’t expect to find such a big fish in the pastures; this time, I’ve hit the jackpot."

Just as the chaotic Great God or Demon was about to let his thoughts descend upon the Three Thousand Realms, Fan suddenly visited.

An aura of Primordial Supreme Treasure radiated from Fan.

Upon sensing this aura, the chaotic Great God or Demon instantly became excited.

"Fan, you’ve broken through to become a Primordial Artifact Master."

"Wait, there’s something wrong with this Primordial Supreme Treasure." After feeling it for a moment, the chaotic Great God or Demon said again.

"This is just a Primordial Supreme Treasure reliant on the land of gods and demons. If it leaves a certain range, its power can rival that of a top-tier Xuanhuang Supreme Treasure."

Fan then explained its principles to the chaotic Great God or Demon.

The chaotic Great God or Demon listened intently, and the surprise in his eyes deepened.

"In the Chaotic Mist Area, a new Xuanhuang Artifact Master has recently emerged."

"Each Xuanhuang Supreme Treasure he crafts is the finest among the best. This talent for artifact crafting has led all powers in the Chaotic Mist Area to deem him the future Primordial Artifact Master."

"He is destined to become a top-tier Primordial Artifact Master in the future. Those powers are now saying that nearly eighty percent of the path of artifact crafting in the entire Chaotic Mist Area has converged upon that human Xuanhuang Artifact Master."

A mysterious aura began to rise from the chaotic Great God or Demon.

"I disagree; your talent is on par with that human Xuanhuang Artifact Master."

"With you, our Beast God Demon Empire will undoubtedly become a top God Demon Empire," the chaotic Great God or Demon declared passionately.

"Thank you for your praise, but I feel that my future achievements may disappoint your expectations," Fan replied.

"Do not underestimate yourself; you have the potential," the chaotic Great God or Demon said, staring intently at Fan.

"Speaking of that human Xuanhuang Artifact Master, his Source Realm is in our pastures."

"This time, I will take you to see the human side; perhaps we can find that human Xuanhuang Artifact Master and make him your servant."
