“Previously, I had always been scared that once he returns and sees that Scandinavia has been destroyed, our Heavenly G.o.ds Council will also suffer a calamity. But now, there’s no need to be afraid. He has received serious injuries, which means that he doesn’t have any combat strength.”

“But Athena is still in their hands. Will you risk her life?”

It was an opportunity which came once in a blue moon, so they had to choose between destroying Scandinavia and protecting Athena. There was no way to get both things.

“From the day she was born in Heavenly G.o.ds Council, she should’ve been prepared to sacrifice her life for Olympus at any time,” Zeus said callously.

His words made Athena’s mother Hera feel a hint of despair, and she grew furious. “I don’t agree to use my daughter’s life in exchange for starting this war! Moreover, you don’t even know whether this intelligence is real or not! If Li Yunmu isn’t injured, you will be courting death by attacking Scandinavia!”

Hera’s words startled Zeus, and he hesitated. If she was right, there might be a ploy set up by someone in the background. In that case, he would be consigned to eternal d.a.m.nation. The whole Heavenly G.o.ds Council might end up destroyed, let alone Athena.

It was an extremely large risk!

“We feel that you worries are unnecessary. It would be better if we just went to ask Cangyue Sect. Their information has always been correct.”

“This idea is pretty good. Let’s go, we will enquire with the Cangyue Sect whether this news is true or not!”

In Sand City of Two Poles of Morning and Evening, the three Egyptian G.o.ds also received the news of Li Yunmu’s return as well as that he was seriously injured.

“Li Yunmu has returned from the eastern domain with serious injuries, so I fear that Scandinavia will be in imminent danger,” Osiris said with some hesitation in his voice. “Although the Eight have been forced to return to the southern region, it’s hard for them to escape Heavenly G.o.ds Council and Cangyue Sect. How about we go a.s.sist Li Yunmu? After all, he is the benefactor of our Two Poles of Morning and Evening!”

Ra was silent for a moment before saying, “This matter is really somewhat difficult! Now that you mention it, Li Yunmu is indeed our benefactor. If we don’t help him, then we truly couldn’t justify it. But our relations.h.i.+p with Heavenly G.o.ds Council is pretty good. Anything we do will offend one of the sides, so I think we should bide our time for the moment!”

“Bide our time again? We didn’t partic.i.p.ate last time, which caused our impression in Scandinavia’s eyes to plummet. If this matter reaches Li Yunmu’s ears, how exactly will he view our Two Poles of Morning and Evening?” Geb said with a frown.

Horus nodded at his words. “I also feel that Geb is correct. If we don’t help Scandinavia, our image will fall to rock bottom in Li Yunmu’s eyes. If Heavenly G.o.ds Council gets defeated and we still continue to bide our time, it is highly possible that we will attract Li Yunmu’s wrath.”

Ra was still hesitant, however. What should he do? The choice was really difficult. He needed to ponder over it for a while.

When the people of Cangyue Sect heard the news, all of them believed it was false.

Since they specialized in gathering intelligence, each and every bit of knowledge which they couldn’t verify wouldn’t be taken seriously.

Yet there was someone among them who was unable to contain his desire to take revenge on Li Yunmu.

“Don’t be impulsive. If the news is false, then you would be courting death!”

“Why are you afraid of him? You all are afraid because he is your business, but this old man isn’t! If you are afraid then you can keep hiding here. I will go kill him myself! I, Ca.s.s, am not afraid of him! From the day he destroyed my world, the only thing I can think of is taking revenge.”

After Ca.s.s finished speaking, he left Cangyue Sect. There were some people who wanted to stop him, but they were ordered to not interfere by the sect master.

“Don’t stop him, let him go! Consider it as him going to confirm the news for Cangyue Sect. If he returns safely, that will prove that Li Yunmu is really seriously injured. If he doesn’t return, that will ill.u.s.trate that Li Yunmu isn’t injured.”

All the members of Cangyue Sect knelt toward the sect master and said, “Sect master is wise!”

Ca.s.s had stepped on the path of vengeance alone, and even if it was filled with hards.h.i.+ps, he would still continue walking it. The reason he had come to the Origin World was very simple—to kill Li Yunmu. Because of that, he couldn’t just sit around doing nothing.

After Li Yunmu spread the news, there seemed to be no movements in the entire Origin World, including Zeus whom he had never trusted.

Everyone was extremely cautious, which left Li Yunmu puzzled. He wasn’t used to it. In any case, he had to ask Odin about some other matter.

“Lord Father Odin, do you know where the water seal is?”

Odin’s complexion changed upon hearing his words. Water seal was the secret of Scandinavia so how did Li Yunmu know about it?

He couldn’t help but ask with some astonishment, “Don’t tell me that my friend has informed thou about it?”

“That’s right! Only after removing the seals will he return to the Origin World,” Li Yunmu calmly replied.

Odin narrowed his eyes, and after a moment of hesitation, he said, “I need to talk with my friend!”

The system saw that Odin didn’t seem to have full confidence in Li yunmu. After all, the seal was the greatest secret of Scandinavia so he had to be caeful about it.

Without any alternatives, Li Yunmu could only hand over the situation to the system.

It was silent for a moment before saying, “Odin, my host’s words are correct. Only by undoing the five seals of the Origin World will I return. We’ve already opened the fire seal, so only four seals remain. Moreover, these seals imply the return of your respective master G.o.ds.]

Odin grew happy upon hearing the system’s words. “What did you say? Our Scandinavia’s master G.o.d can return?”

[That’s right! Therefore, you need to tell the secret of the water seal to my host. He can remove the seal.]

Odin took a deep breath and said, “That’s good. I can tell him the region where the water seal is located, but it is protected by a divine beast. I fear that it will be somewhat difficult to deal with it!”

[You don’t need to worry about it! You only need to tell him about the location of the water seal.]

Odin nodded, then told the location and how to get there.

Li Yunmu used the time before anyone with ill intentions toward Scandinavia arrived to go to the seal. Since he had defeated the black qilin next to the fire seal, he did not fear the divine beast protecting the water seal.

A lot of snow was drifting in the region of the seal. It seemed like a blizzard was about to start.

Li Yunmu’s feet sank into the snow with each step, which resulted in a creaking sound. According to what Odin said, he was right next to the seal.
