Is that a Wisp?

Chapter 1546 Law: Wager

　　"Do you mean us?" Suddenly, the Rune Realm condensed a portal as Garguntil walked out of it, arriving beside Zule as he said, "I am what you call the Spirit Aberrant."

　　"This aura!" The Kun Peng Chief became serious for a moment before his gaze turned incredulous, bursting into laughter upon sensing Garguntil. "This is a Spirit Aberrant? Hahaha!"

　　"You mean this?" The Kun Peng Chief—in his human form—rolled around, slapping away a couple of spatial storms as he laughed nonstop. "This?" 

　　The other Primordial Beast Chiefs were also the same, unable to hold back their laughter. 

　　After a while, the Kun Peng Chief noticed that he had lost his demeanor, coughing as he propped himself up and was just about to speak when he looked at Garguntil, bursting into laughter. "He called himself a Spirit Aberrant!"

　　"How the hell is this egg a Spirit Aberrant? No, it's not even an egg. It's merely a chopped omelet." The Vermillion Bird Chief clutched his head, barely managing to control his laughter as he spoke. 

　　"But still… a Spirit Aberrant… he said…" 

　　"Hahaha!" 

　　"You!" Garguntil's face reddened in anger as he wished to attack them, but Zule stopped them, warning him, "They are the Primordial Beast Chiefs. A single fart from them can destroy the Kun Realm. So, control your anger."

　　"Yes…!" Garguntil nodded, clenching his hand into a fist, indignant. 

　　Upon staring at Garguntil, the Kun Peng Chief gradually began to speak, sensing the dense stream of the Primordial Beast aura of the Spirit Aberrant on Garguntil, but the essence of their race was missing. It was like staring at egg shells while the egg yolk had gone missing. 

　　"How many of you are there in the Kun Realm?" The Kun Peng Chief stared at Garguntil, asking.

　　"A Satellite Realm's worth." Garguntil snorted in response. 

　　"Well… it doesn't matter then." The Kun Peng Chief said, yawning as he turned around. "So, this is where the Spirit Aberrant aura was coming from."

　　He then gazed at Garguntil calmly and said, "Call yourself Inferior Aberrants from now onwards. You're not fit to bear the name of the Spirit Aberrant."

　　Garguntil wished to retort, but even though the Kun Peng Chief didn't even exert any strength, the mental suffocation he emanated made Garguntil unable to even breathe. Not even an instant later, all the Godly Energy, Mental Energy, and Body Energy in his body escaped in a flurry as he lost consciousness. 

　　"Are you seriously intimidating a mere God?" Zule snorted in response, glaring at the Kun Peng Chief, shouting, "Also, don't go back on your word." 

　　"Don't be in a hurry, Zule." The Kun Peng Chief's figure vanished as he replied, "The test has yet to begin. Tallo's actions are unrelated to our deal. Each Primordial Beast race will send one Primordial Beast from the Younger Generation."

　　His laughter echoed in the place as he continued, "If all eight of them are killed, then you've won. I'll allow you to devour me."

　　"But if even one of those eight survives, then it means I've won. And I'll devour your Kun Realm and all the other realms and reset the Greater Universe's cycle once again." 

　　"Bastard!" Zule cursed in response, watching the smiles full of ridicule flashed by each of the eight Primordial Beast Chiefs as they began to vanish one after another. 

　　They treated the God King's efforts as meaningless. Having fought Tallo, the God King was on the verge of death. A tinge of the spatial storms was enough to kill him now. 

　　The strongest God was no more. This meant that the remaining Gods wouldn't be able to face the eight Primordial Beasts that would appear next to face the Gods. 

　　It was a cunning scheme by the Chiefs as Zule gritted his teeth, transmitting his voice to their departing figures, "Even with that much strength, it seems the eight Chiefs are mere cowards. I'm sure you'll go back on your words once again. You've already done it once. What else other…"

　　Boom!

　　Suddenly, a suffocating presence enveloped Zule, causing him to gasp for breath. It was a pinpoint suppression, done with such precision that even Garguntil, that was hovering next to Zule, was unaffected. 

　　"As the Kun Peng Chief, I declare my words as the law!"

　　"As the Tiangou Chief, I declare my words as the law!"

　　"As the Qilin Chief, I declare my words as the law!"

　　"As the Four Direction Chiefs, we declare our words as the law!"

　　There was a pause, following which a smug voice, one with the tone where it could devour everything resounded, causing Zule to tremble in response. 

　　"As the Taotie Chief, I declare my word as the law!"

　　Boom!

　　Immediately, eight laws formed in the Greater Universe, manifested by the Chiefs that enacted what they had promised just now. 

　　This meant that if the Gods were to win, Zule would be able to devour the Kun Peng Chief. But if they were defeated, the Kun Peng Chief would destroy all realms and rebuild everything from scratch once again.

　　This became a rule that was inscribed into the Greater Universe, for it was accepted by all the eight Primordial Beast Chiefs, the rulers of the Greater Universe. As all eight accepted it, the bet between Zule and the Kun Peng Chief became a law itself. 

　　This was the sheer might of the Primordial Beast Chiefs, the creators and rulers of the Greater Universe. Their word was the law!

　　Once they said their piece, all eight chiefs vanished as Zule was finally able to gasp for air, panting in response. 

　　Standing nearby, Garguntil shuddered, pale-faced as he stared at Zule with an expression of being betrayed. "I acted as you had told. But what is this?"

　　"What's with this bet? The lives of everyone are at stake! Why the fuck did you wager something like this?" Garguntil screamed by the end. 

　　"What does it matter now?" Zule stood up, staring at Garguntil coldly. "The law has already been created. It's a do-or-die situation for all you Realm Dwellers. If you fail to win the fight, you're annihilated." 

　　"Zule…" Turia exited the portal created by the Rune Realm, staring at Zule in disappointment. "Please don't tell me you did this."

　　"Did you really wager the fate of the entire Greater Universe just to fuel your revenge?" Her face trembled in uncontrollable rage, disbelief, and unbelievable disappointment. 

　　In contrast to her billowing emotions, Zule was calm, stating a single word…

　　"Yes."
