Chapter 1316 Vicious Scheme! Endless Fear!
Hearing the Purple Golden Heavenly King's voice, Li Yuan, who was about to walk into the chess game, was suddenly stunned.
He subconsciously turned to look at his Big Brother.
He seemed to have guessed something.
He felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
However, he still forced a smile and asked, "Big Brother, what's the matter?"
The Purple Golden Heavenly King's expression remained the same. He did not answer directly. Instead, he said in a deep voice, "Ninth Brother, you should know the current situation of the Gloomy Emperor's camp, right?"
Li Yuan's expression became even more solemn, but he could only nod.
"It has indeed reached the most critical moment."
"The soldiers have already lost the first round. If the generals also lose, it's equivalent to us losing this game."
"And the best situation of the big score will be a draw. This is if Big Brother and your commander-in-chief can win."
The Purple Golden Heavenly King nodded.
He suddenly said, "However, to be honest, I'm not 100% confident in the battle between commanders. In fact, after Chu Feng and the others obtain another huge military merit reward, our commander-in-chief's chances of winning will undoubtedly be even lower."
"If I lose too and we lose all three rounds, the other party will surpass us by a large margin. This trip to the God Emperor's Palace will be considered a complete defeat for our Sacred Land. We even lost several brothers' lives."
At this point, the Purple Golden Heavenly King's voice suddenly stopped.
He just looked at Li Yuan silently.
Li Yuan was smart and naturally understood what his Big Brother was implying.
From the looks of it, the Gloomy Emperor's camp had absolute confidence in winning the general-level battle… Of course, the prerequisite was that he had to activate the power of the Chaos Totem again!
It allowed his strength to soar again.
But in that case, the little Chaotic Totem power would be exhausted!
His greatest reliance was gone.
This was something that Li Yuan could not accept.
He pondered for a moment.
Li Yuan took a deep breath and looked straight into the Purple Golden Heavenly King's eyes, but he still shook his head firmly.
"Big Brother, you also know how much I've sacrificed for this life. The only power left in the Chaos Totem is my last hope!"
"The Great Era is about to descend. If we don't even have the strength of a Master God, how can we have a chance at what we're planning?"
"I know that you and brothers have paid a huge price for the things in the Green Emperor's Palace this time, but am I not the same?"
"But in my opinion, although everything is important now, it's still nothing compared to the Great Era. We… can't lose sight of one thing!"
Hearing Li Yuan's excuses, the Purple Golden Heavenly King sighed in disappointment.
"Phew…"
"Is this your final decision?"
Li Yuan looked troubled, but he still nodded heavily.
"Big Brother, I hope you can understand!"
When the Purple Golden Heavenly King heard this, he suddenly smiled faintly.
"Ninth Brother, you don't have to do this. I understand you. However, there's something I think I have to tell you first before you make a decision."
Li Yuan frowned.
He had already made himself clear.
Why was Big Brother still unwilling to give up?
Just as he was about to reject him, the Purple Golden Heavenly King said faintly, "I suggest that you listen to what I have to say first."
This sentence stopped Li Yuan from saying anything.
The Purple Golden Heavenly King did not care and began to narrate.
"Ninth Brother, do you still remember the scene when you obtained that Chaos Totem?"
Li Yuan was even more confused.
Why did he suddenly mention this for no reason?
However, he still said in a deep voice, "Of course I remember."
"Back then, when we brothers were wandering the Cloud World, I found that small piece of Chaos Totem in an ancient temple."
"I was lucky enough to encounter this Chaos Totem. It actually 'matured'. I 'picked' it. All of you know about this, right? I remember telling all of you later."
Li Yuan gave a simple description.
Although countless years had passed, how could he forget the process of obtaining such a treasure?
The Purple Golden Heavenly King nodded.
"I know very well."
"But what you don't know is… Actually, before you discovered that ancient temple, I had already discovered that Chaos Totem!"
"It's just that at that time, the Chaos Totem had yet to 'mature', so I could only leave it where it was. However, from time to time, I would go back and 'irrigate' it. The entire process lasted for decades…"
Hearing this, Li Yuan's eyes suddenly widened.
He had never expected this.
There was actually such a secret?!
In that case, this Chaos Totem should have belonged to his Big Brother?
The Purple Golden Heavenly King did not care about Li Yuan's shock and continued speaking.
"Back then, when you just came into contact with the Chaos Totem, I already knew."
"It's just that because we were brothers and I was the leader, I couldn't say anything."
"I could only watch helplessly as you took away my 'fruit' and showed it off in front of our brothers…"
"Back then, didn't you think that the danger in that temple was pitifully small? Also, why was the Sky Formation that enveloped the totem so easily broken by you? Actually, I was the one who took the initiative to deactivate it…"
Listening to the Purple Golden Heavenly King's description of the details, Li Yuan's eyes became even more shocked. He was already sure that his Big Brother was telling the truth!
Because he had never mentioned some of the details to anyone!
At this moment, Li Yuan could not help but feel awkward.
In that case, did he really snatch the opportunity that originally belonged to Big Brother?
For a moment, there were thousands of thoughts in his mind.
Could it be that Big Brother wanted him to return the treasure to him by revealing this secret?
Or was he trying to use this opportunity to make him stop being stingy in the upcoming battle?
Li Yuan frowned.
But another voice sounded in his heart.
Since ancient times, treasures belonged to the virtuous!
By chance, he could barge into Big Brother's hidden ancient temple and coincidentally obtain the Chaos Totem. That was heaven's will!
Furthermore, using the Chaos Totem to store power was not a simple matter. He had also paid a huge price!
To move him with just a few words… was a little unrealistic, right?
Li Yuan had already made up his mind.
No matter what Big Brother said, he would not use it!
He took a deep breath and was about to speak.
But he was interrupted by the Purple Golden Heavenly King.
Looking at Li Yuan, who was still unmoved, the Purple Golden Heavenly King seemed to have expected this and smiled faintly.
"I'm not saying this because I want you to do anything. After all, you've also put in countless effort in the Chaos Totem…"
Li Yuan glanced at his Big Brother in confusion.
He could no longer understand what was going on.
When did Big Brother become so understanding?
But the next moment, the Purple Golden Heavenly King's words instantly dissipated the awkwardness in Li Yuan's heart. Instead, it turned into endless lingering fear!
The Purple Golden Heavenly King suddenly said faintly, "Oh right, I forgot to tell you. Back then, when I was nurturing the totem, in order to prevent all kinds of unexpected situations, I had left some small tricks in it…"
"Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just that there's some power that contains my Divine Will. As long as I'm willing, I can make the totem explode instantly!"
"Of course, if the totem owner has already accidentally absorbed a portion of my power, the problem might be a little big…"
Hearing this, Li Yuan was suddenly shocked and broke out in cold sweat…
