Mushroom Man

Who could possibly outwit Zhuge Huowang without anyone noticing?

The answer is... nobody!

As a seventh-level mushroom immortal, Zhuge Huowang would have some sense of being plotted against, even if he was being schemed against.

But this time, he not only didn't realize it at all, but it wasn't until this moment that he finally came to his senses.

The being capable of all this cannot be just anyone; it could only be…

Zhuge Huowang frowned slightly and looked up at the misty sky.

His eyes were deep and unfathomable; he already knew the answer in his heart.

"If I'm not mistaken, then none of this is surprising."

"I fear that I have unknowingly been drawn into the calamity of the rise of the Dragon People."

"I made a stupid mistake for no reason before, probably because I was influenced by fate and my mind was clouded by the calamity."

"It wasn't just me; even the three thousand divided souls were affected."

"This can be seen from the various actions of the three thousand divided souls after they arrived at the Dragon Palace..."

After a moment's thought, Zhuge Huowang understood everything.

As he said, the three thousand divided souls were also affected by the calamity energy.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why the three thousand divided souls would suffer such a severe decline in intelligence.

You should know that although the three thousand divided souls are not as good as his original self, they are still a part of him, so their intelligence should be about the same.

However, after the three thousand fragments of the soul found the Dragon Palace, their various decisions were clearly unsatisfactory.

Firstly, given the existing allegory of the rise of the dragon people, it's astonishing that upon discovering the Dragon Palace, no one realized anything was amiss.

If it were him, upon learning of such a coincidence, he would likely not only immediately realize he had been tricked, but would probably also give up on capturing Wu Liang and try to hide as far away as possible.

But the three thousand divided souls didn't; instead, they got mixed up in.

It was bad enough that they got involved, but things got even more outrageous later on!
Knowing that Wu Liang had already escaped, why did they still want to exterminate the dragon people of the Dragon Palace and kill them all?
Didn't the three thousand divided souls realize that those dragon people were not to be trifled with?

The mirage and the four pillars of light reaching the sky all indicate that the Dragon Palace is protected by immortals.

Moreover, this immortal is very likely no less capable than him.

Their target was Wu Liang from beginning to end, but the three thousand soul fragments were connected to the dragon people.

Isn't this just making enemies for no reason?

Of course, if that's all there is to it, there might still be a chance for things to turn around.

It wasn't until the Golden Dragon King ascended to immortality that the three thousand fragmented souls were truly blinded by the calamity.

The Golden Dragon King and his three thousand divided souls had no deep-seated hatred for each other, yet they inexplicably ended up locked in a life-or-death struggle.

The three thousand divided souls were single-mindedly focused on hindering the Golden Dragon King's ascension to immortality, completely forgetting their original purpose.

This shows that the three thousand divided souls were definitely influenced by the will of Heaven.

The wisdom light that specifically counters the three thousand divided souls, the timely arrival of the Buddhist mushroom fairy, and all these coincidences prove this point.

Without a doubt, under the calamity of the rise of the Dragon People, the fortune of that Golden Dragon King must have reached an extremely terrifying level.

Choosing to fight the Golden Dragon King to the death with his three thousand divided souls was undoubtedly the worst possible decision.

"The dragon people shall rise to prominence..."

"Why are you dragging me into this...?"

"Could this be my destiny...?"

"No, that's not right, the shadow of the High Priest is behind all this..."

Zhuge Huowang was lost in thought, his mind racing with conflicting ideas.

He was talking to himself, asking and answering his own questions.

In the process, he quickly deduced the reason why he was dragged into the calamity of the rise of the dragon people.

He knew about the allegory of the rise of the dragon people entirely because of the Grand Master of Fate. Without the Grand Master of Fate, he would have been completely unaware of all this and would not have been involved, thus falling under the influence of divine will.

only……

Why would the Grand Master of Fate plot against him?
Zhuge Huowang thought about it for a very long time, but still couldn't come up with a solution.

He longed to return to Hun Tian and ask the Grand Master of Fate a question.

However, the grand plan for the Holy Church that he was responsible for had not yet been finalized, so it was impossible for him to return to Hun Tian at this time.

Looking at it now, it seems he has no choice but to swallow this bitter pill.

Upon thinking of this, Zhuge Huowang couldn't help but let out a cold snort.

In an instant, a chilling aura soared into the sky, transforming the surrounding area into a ghostly realm.

"Great Fate, you're trying to scheme against me and drag me into this calamity of the Dragon People's rise, aren't you?"

"Fine, very well, then I will not do as you wish."

"What do I have to do with the Dragon People? Zhuge Shanhun, who knows the secrets of the Holy Sect, has joined the Buddhist sect. It should be a headache for you, the Great Master of Fate."

"I just need to take care of myself and honestly focus my attention on Wu Liang."

"That guy is the reincarnation of a celestial being, so it can't be related to the rise of the dragon people, right?"

"What dragon people or not, what grand plans or not, I only want Wu Liang."

Zhuge Huowang was talking to himself like a madman, but when he mentioned Wu Liang, he couldn't help but pause.

He suddenly thought of a question...

Now, Wu Liang has been teleported to some unknown place by that deadly move.

He seems to have nowhere to look for it, what should he do?
When Zhuge Huowang thought of this, his expression immediately turned extremely ugly.

The reason we were able to find Wu Liang's approximate location through clues was because he hadn't gone far.

But now that guy has already escaped without leaving any information.

Finding Wu Liang in the vast Beihai is like finding a needle in a haystack.

Moreover, given his current sensitive status, a large-scale search is not feasible.

In this situation, how can Wu Liang be found?

Zhuge Huowang remained silent for a long time, realizing that he had completely lost Wu Liang.

That guy is the reincarnation of a Celestial Venerable, and his growth rate is extremely terrifying.

Losing him now gives this guy time to develop.

Zhuge Huowang seriously suspected that when he saw Wu Liang again, the guy might have already become an immortal, who knows...

"Alas! Heaven favors the wicked, not me!"

Meanwhile, in the deep, silent seabed.

A variety of mushroom growers, each with their own unique style, wandered around the area wearing bubble mushrooms, seemingly searching for something.

"Strange, wasn't it said that a huge creature had fallen into the sea?"

"We've searched all over the place, but we haven't found a single person."

One of the hunters, panting heavily, couldn't help but complain.

Beside him was a voluptuous and graceful woman in a purple dress.

"If we really can't find it, let's go back. There are hidden currents everywhere here; if we're not careful, we might get swept away..."

The woman in the purple dress pursed her lips and spoke with some concern.

Before she could finish speaking, the young man in hunting clothes impatiently interrupted, "Go away, stop jinxing me and ruining my mood."

"If you're scared, then go back. I refuse to believe that something that big can just disappear like that!"

The two stood on the seabed, completely unaware that a magnificent, resplendent palace lay less than three zhang (approximately 10 meters) away from them… (End of Chapter)
