The various clamors and reactions from the outside world could not affect Jun Xiaoyao.
At this moment, Jun Xiaoyao was contemplating the matter of the three lives stone.
That mark was more like a parasite, parasitizing the Son of Destiny.
In this lifetime, because of Jun Xiaoyao's intervention in harvesting those Sons of Destiny, that mark had actually returned empty-handed and vanished.
And this was also why those supreme powerhouses that Lu Yuan, Chen Xuan, and Long Qingxuan were connected to behind the scenes—such as Great Emperor Taiyuan, Imperial Teacher Xuanyi, and the Demon God—had mysteriously disappeared.
It could be estimated that this also had an inseparable connection with that mark.
And all of this fell upon the three lives stone.
It represented that the three lives stone was connected to some kind of great Karma.
Behind it, there might even be some kind of great conspiracy.
Connecting this to the Blood Moon Calamity, the Mysterious Empress, and the conspiracy of the throne of origin, Jun Xiaoyao vaguely felt as if he had caught a glimpse of that conspiracy that had been laid out through the ages.
The background of the mastermind behind the scenes was truly unimaginable.
The depth of the layout was chilling.
"So, the only Breakthrough point next is the sacred object of the Sansheng Hall, the three lives stone." Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself.
At this moment, his gaze fell once again upon Chu Xiao.
Sitting on the throne of origin, Chu Xiao was now barely moving.
It was not that he had given up on struggling.
It was that he no longer had the ability to struggle.
His cultivation Realm had plummeted to the bottom.
Although he had not quite become a complete Mortal, he was only slightly stronger than one.
All of his essence, Dao Fruit, Law, energy, talent, and Bloodline had been stripped away by those eerie black incantations.
It seemed that Chu Xiao had already been drained dry, so those black runes had also receded.
At the same time, this so-called throne of origin also collapsed directly, dissipating like smoke and clouds.
"Heh... hehe, hahaha!" Chu Xiao could not help but let out a miserable laugh, filled with self-mockery and irony.
Originally, he thought that by snatching Jun Xiaoyao's greatest Opportunity, he was the final winner.
As it turned out, this was a trap.
Is this what they call fate?
Chu Xiao actually did not believe in fate.
He had risen from obscurity, Cultivating all the way from the Qingyang World.
If he believed in fate, he would not have his current strength and status.
But now, all successes and failures have turned into nothingness.
He was once again left with nothing.
Where one comes from, there one returns—perhaps this was the best interpretation for Chu Xiao.
Rising from obscurity, and finally returning to obscurity.
Jun Xiaoyao walked to the front of Chu Xiao.
Looking at this figure in white, that was the high mountain he could never cross.
In the past, he could see Jun Xiaoyao's back.
But from now on, he would not even be able to see Jun Xiaoyao's back.
At this moment, Chu Xiao's heart was as dead as ashes.
"After fighting for so long, I have finally been defeated."
"You can kill me." Chu Xiao's complexion was pale, his expression miserable; he did not resist anymore and looked at Jun Xiaoyao.
In the past, even if there had been a glimmer of a chance, Chu Xiao would have risen up to resist.
But now, he was truly tired, and he was truly left with nothing.
Jun Xiaoyao's expression was indifferent.
He had never been a saint, nor would he casually pity others.
But this time, Jun Xiaoyao shook his head slightly.
"You... why?" Chu Xiao looked at Jun Xiaoyao.
It was not that Jun Xiaoyao was merciful.
It was just that he felt there was no need.
Chu Xiao could no longer get back up.
This was not just because his talent, Bloodline, Dao Fruit, Laws, and so on had been stripped away.
It was that even his Luck had been completely stripped away.
If he had only lost his Realm, cultivation, and so on, then Chu Xiao might still have been able to rely on his Luck as a protagonist of destiny to find a way to rise again.
But he had even lost his Luck.
This time, he truly, genuinely, did not even have the power to struggle at all.
It must be said that the mastermind behind the conspiracy of the throne of origin was ruthless and cruel enough.
This was to completely cut off all paths for a person and thoroughly discard them.
Jun Xiaoyao suddenly thought of one thing.
What if this throne of origin was meant to target him?
Was there someone who wanted to discard him?
But Jun Xiaoyao had not been in the Origin Universe before.
Who would plan through the ages, just to discard someone who might appear in the future?
Jun Xiaoyao's thoughts were momentarily chaotic.
Seeing that Jun Xiaoyao made no move, Chu Xiao suddenly roared.
"Kill me! Why don't you kill me? I, Chu Xiao, do not need your mercy!"
It could be said that for Chu Xiao at this moment, living was more painful than dying.
He now actually hoped that Jun Xiaoyao could kill him.
That way, he could be liberated.
Jun Xiaoyao said nothing.
He simply took back the Opportunities on Chu Xiao.
Such as the human emperor sword, and the Time Book, one of the Nine Great Heavenly Books.
This Time Book was a complete version, not the incomplete version from before.
This Chu Xiao had truly done his best to collect the Time Book.
In addition, there were some treasures such as the qingyang divine talisman, the qiankun gourd, and so on.
Jun Xiaoyao also took them back.
To Chu Xiao, these were already useless.
Chu Xiao looked at Jun Xiaoyao.
There was no hatred in his eyes.
Because compared to Jun Xiaoyao, he hated the person who set up the trap of the throne of origin even more.
It was that conspirator who had stripped away all his hope.
"I have one request." Chu Xiao suddenly looked at Jun Xiaoyao.
"Find the mastermind who set up this conspiracy!"
Chu Xiao gritted his teeth, filled with monstrous hatred.
"Rest assured, even if you didn't say it, I would do so."
"Because that existence is targeting me." Jun Xiaoyao said indifferently.
He suddenly thought of something.
That was the aura of the Fate Nihilist he had sensed before.
What if that mastermind behind the scenes was a Fate Nihilist?
Could they have detected Jun Xiaoyao, this potential Fate Nihilist, through some method?
And then used the trap of the throne of origin to strip away his Dao Fruit?
If that were the case, then the background of the mastermind behind the scenes would be truly unimaginable.
Hidden extremely deep.
And this Chu Xiao had clearly acted as a scapegoat.
He had borne this calamity for Jun Xiaoyao.
Perhaps, this was also another reason why Jun Xiaoyao did not kill Chu Xiao.
Chu Xiao could be considered his substitute for the calamity, sacrificing himself for him.
Although this was not Chu Xiao's intention.
After receiving Jun Xiaoyao's reply, Chu Xiao smiled miserably.
He stumbled away into the distance.
As he walked, he let out self-mocking laughter.
Afterward, no one would bother to care about him anymore.
A Successor of the Human Emperor who had lost everything was no longer a Successor of the Human Emperor.
And in such a chaotic world, it was too easy to forget a person.
Jun Xiaoyao felt a bit of emotion.
Since the beginning of the Boundary Sea, Chu Xiao was one of the first Sons of Destiny he had encountered.
Along the way, the time spent had also been the longest.
And now, Chu Xiao had finally met his ending.
As for what would eventually become of Chu Xiao, whether he chose to spend the rest of his life in some corner or seek death, no one cared anymore.
This time, Jun Xiaoyao's gains could be described as huge.
However, Jun Xiaoyao did not feel much joy.
Because he knew that there was likely an even greater opponent, the mastermind behind the scenes.
That was not comparable to someone like Ji Taisui; the two were not in the same dimension.
Even Ji Taisui was just a pawn of that mastermind.
"By the way, there is also the Shenji Tower that controls the origin gold ranking, could they also..." Jun Xiaoyao thought of this point.
Regardless, Jun Xiaoyao felt that he was one step closer to the truth.
Jun Xiaoyao felt no fear; instead, he felt a long-lost Battle Intent.
He was looking forward to the mastermind behind the scenes surfacing!
