Xu Rui and the other two were stunned.
What did he mean by 'failed'?
How were they supposed to respond?
The three of them wanted to celebrate, but Su Zimo seemed to be regretful.
Su Zimo recalled the Avici and Netherworld swords with a thought.
"These two swords are too powerful. I have to be careful in the future."
Su Zimo thought to himself.
Moreover, when he summoned the Avici and Netherworld swords, they seemed to be excited and even showed signs of being out of his control!
If not for that, the Netherworld sword might not have been able to pierce Great Heavenly Venerate Black Goat's skin.
"Fellow Daoist Su, you don't seem to want to kill those two Great Heavenly Venerates?"
Chen Qianhe probed.
Su Zimo nodded and did not hide anything. "My original intention was to subdue them and use them to control the Black Goat Ridge for the Chaos Palace's use.
"From the looks of it now, with their deaths, the Dark Goat Ridge may be in a state of chaos. It will be difficult to occupy the Dark Goat Ridge."
With his battle strength, he could naturally dominate the Black Goat Ridge.
However, the Chaos Palace only had around 3,000 people, and most of them were weak.
Even if they occupied the Black Goat Ridge, they would not be able to defend such a large territory.
Su Zimo's main goal after ascending to the Great Thousand World was to raise his cultivation as soon as possible and strengthen himself. He could not fight for Source Ores with the Great Thousand World's demons.
"Fellow Daoist Su, even if you spared the lives of the two Great Heavenly Venerates, they would not submit willingly."
Xu Rui said in a low voice, "For more than six billion years, the powerhouses of the various races have been domineering in the southeastern territory. How could they be willing to submit to others?
"If we keep them by our side, they might betray us at any time and become a huge hidden danger."
Chen Qianhe nodded and said, "You have already killed the four leaders of the 10,000 Beast Ridge, but the other beasts did not choose to stay. Instead, they scattered.
"They don't agree with us from the bottom of their hearts."
Meng Shi was even more extreme as he said hatefully, "Over the years, the various races have committed many crimes in the southeastern territory. Their crimes are unforgivable. It's better to kill them!"
Su Zimo was silent.
It seemed that even if he left these monster beasts behind, it would be difficult for them to get along with the people of the Primal Chaos Palace. In the future, it was inevitable that there would be conflicts.
Thinking up to this point, Su Zimo had no intention of stopping the Demonic Beasts that were fleeing in all directions.
He saw a person mixed in with the crowd of demons, trying to take advantage of the chaos to escape. However, he could not let him leave!
Su Zimo shifted his gaze onto the fleeing cultivator. He suddenly reached out his hand and grabbed the cultivator across space before tossing him to the ground.
This person's face was pale and filled with fear. He was Pan Mu who had betrayed Primal Chaos Palace!
It wasn't until the Ten Thousand Beast Ridge and the Black Goat Ridge's Grand Empyreans and Grand Empyreans had died that he finally understood why Su Zimo had brought him to the Ten Thousand Beast Ridge and even threatened to kill him.
"Traitor!"
Meng Shi spat and cursed.
Su Zimo looked at Xu Rui and asked, "Are there any rules in the Primal Chaos Palace? What kind of punishment do they have for such people?"
Although he had saved the people of the Primal Chaos Palace and his combat strength was the best, he was still not the Primal Chaos Palace Master in name.
It was best to leave this matter to Xu Rui.
Xu Rui cupped his hands and replied, "According to the ancestors, the rules of the Primal Chaos Sacred Land were very loose and benevolent. There were no strict restrictions on the beings of the Primal Chaos Palace and they were free to come and go.
"Even if the Primal Chaos Sacred Land was in danger and someone chose to leave, the Primal Chaos Sacred Land would not punish them. However, they would not be able to return to the sacred land in the future."
Su Zimo nodded slightly.
It seemed that the Primal Chaos Sacred Land was indeed benevolent.
The Plant Race did not have a strong murderous nature. This was understandable.
Even in the Minor Thousand Realms and Middle Thousand Realms, there were not many such loose and benevolent rules.
Xu Rui continued, "However, Pan Mu's actions were not just to escape from the Primal Chaos Palace. He joined other forces and turned against the Primal Chaos Palace. This is intolerable!"
Even if Pan Mu did not want to stay in the Primal Chaos Palace and did not want to advance or retreat with the Primal Chaos Palace, the rules of the Primal Chaos Palace would not punish him.
However, he helped an outsider to deal with the Primal Chaos Palace. This touched the bottom line of the Primal Chaos Palace!
Just now, in the Myriad Beasts Great Hall, Pan Mu wanted to borrow the Myriad Beasts Ridge and the Black Goat Ridge to destroy the Primal Chaos Palace. This was an unforgivable crime!
"Palace Master, please give the order!"
At this moment, Xu Rui suddenly turned around and bowed to Su Zimo.
Chen Qianhe and Meng Shi also bowed. The three of them seemed to have discussed this beforehand.
"I just ascended …"
Su Zimo was slightly stunned.
"Palace Master, you saved the Primal Chaos Palace. You are our benefactor."
"Moreover, you cultivate the Grand Dao of Primal Chaos. You definitely have the qualifications to become the master of the Primal Chaos Palace. Please do not decline!"
Xu Rui said in a deep voice.
Chen Qianhe also said, "Palace Master, just agree and help the Primal Chaos Palace."
"All these years, the Primal Chaos Palace has never had a true palace master. It has been led by us brothers."
Meng Shi said, "From today onwards, I, Meng Shi, will only submit to you!"
Seeing this, the people of the Primal Chaos Palace also bowed to Su Zimo with a trace of anticipation in their eyes.
They saw a glimmer of hope in Su Zimo.
Perhaps, the glory of the Primal Chaos Sacred Land would truly reappear one day!
Furthermore, although the current Primal Chaos Palace could take root in the Myriad Beast Ridge, it was impossible to establish a foothold with just 3,000 of them.
The only way for the Primal Chaos Palace to survive was to leave Su Zimo behind!
"Alright."
On second thought, Su Zimo agreed to it.
He had already fused with the Creation Qinglian and the Red Karmic Fire Lotus. He was already half a Chaos Qinglian and was closely related to the Primal Chaos Sacred Land – there was no need for him to decline.
Apart from him, there was probably no one else who had the qualifications to lead the Primal Chaos Palace!
"Alright!"
Meng Shi was all smiles and shouted excitedly when he saw Su Zimo agree.
All these years, they had never been so happy and elated as they were today.
Just a day ago, the Primal Chaos Palace was still lifeless and everyone was gone.
But now, every single cultivator of the Primal Chaos Palace was filled with smiles from the bottom of their hearts and exuded vitality!
None of this had anything to do with Pan Mu.
Pan Mu looked at these familiar faces and the smiles of his old friends. He could not help but recall the days when he cultivated and escaped with everyone.
Although those days were tough and dangerous, everyone gathered together and shared joy and sorrow. They advanced and retreated together, guarding the last hope of the Primal Chaos Palace and finding joy in the midst of hardship.
Pan Mu suddenly realized that those days and the people in front of him had long been deeply engraved in his mind and occupied an irreplaceable position!
Endless regret and guilt rose from the depths of his heart.
"Originally, I should have been one of you …"
Pan Mu murmured softly.
Before he finished his sentence, Pan Mu's body trembled and the light in his eyes gradually dissipated. He looked at Xu Rui and the others and finally revealed a smile as he stammered, "Everyone … take care."
Pan Mu fell to the ground and committed suicide.
