The atmosphere in front of the restaurant was unusually quiet.
With his hands behind his back, Bu Fang looked up at Soul, who was floating in midair. The Cursed Goddess’s aura was very powerful. There was no doubt that she had completed her breakthrough and had now reached the realm of the Chaotic Saints.
Unlike Master Zhen Yong, her reserves were too deep, so once she broke through, her strength soared. Soul had now become an existence whose strength was comparable to that of a duke. Even Bu Fang felt a little pressure when faced with such an opponent.
Bu Fang was now nothing more than a Saint of the Great Path. He was wondering if he should find an opportunity to take his cultivation base to the level of a Chaotic Saint. However, after the System was upgraded, it became less easy for him to break through to the next level.
He did not have a clue for the time being, so he could only wait patiently for that opportunity to appear.
In fact, Bu Fang should be content. Compared with those who had cultivated for tens of thousands of years, his years of cultivation were not too long. It was already an incredible achievement that he was able to reach his current level in such a short time.
After all, a Chaotic Saint was an existence that stood at the pinnacle of a universe. It was not that easy to reach this realm.
Nethery looked at Soul. Their gazes collided silently in the air.
“It’s time for this to end...” said Soul. Her voice was cold, and it sent chills down the spines of anyone who heard it.
The two Cursed Goddesses confronted each other in front of a large crowd. Could it be that the struggle for the throne was finally on the table? Had Cursed Goddess Soul stopped trying to conceal her purpose?
Soul descended slowly, landed in front of the restaurant, and walked up to Nethery. “Yunlan has been lured away. She won’t be able to save you this time,” she said. “But I’ll give you a chance to live.”
She looked at Bu Fang and Nethery.
“You are too weak to compete with me. I’m giving you a chance now. District B lacks a marquis. As long as you agree to become a marquis, I’ll spare your life.”
Her words stunned everyone. Countess Aitang narrowed her eyes, while Marchioness Ruoshui, standing next to her, became a little short of breath.
In the distance, Marquis Lang Gu’s pupils constricted, and his aura stirred fiercely as if he were about to go berserk and turn into a savage monster. So the purpose of Soul’s refusal to help him in the first place was so that she could vacate the marquis title and give it to Nethery?
Soul swept the crowd with an indifferent gaze. She did not mind the fact that the two other marquises of District B were here in the restaurant.
Nethery remained silent. After a while, she shook her head. She had her own insistence, and she did not think Soul would let her off so easily.
Nethery was not stupid. She knew that Soul was ready to go to war with Houtu now, so she wanted to appease her first. When Houtu was taken care of, Soul would probably turn around and act against her.
Suddenly, a cold voice rang out. “Are you the Queen of Curses? Who gave you the right to decide who can become a marquis?” Viscount Ash frowned and said with a straight face. She had a very hot temper. She originally wanted to support Soul, but based on what she had seen and heard just now, she felt that it was better for her to support Nethery.
“Who do you think you are? How dare you speak to me like that?” Soul’s eyes suddenly turned black. The next moment, a mixture of sin power and curse power transformed into a black flood dragon and swooped down toward Viscount Ash.
An ear-piercing whistle filled the air. Viscount Ash felt her whole body turn cold and found that she could not use the Chaotic Energy she had produced yesterday.
Just as the black flood dragon was about to get close to Viscount Ash, Whitey suddenly thrust its hand and seized the beast. The dragon snarled and bit Whitey’s arm, but it was crushed in the blink of an eye. Then, Whitey’s purple eyes flashed as they fixed on Soul.
Viscount Ash gasped violently. She thought she was going to die. Soul was really strong!
“Consider my proposal... But make a decision quickly. There’s not much time left for you,” said Soul. After that, she drifted backward and disappeared.
The deafening sound of hooves rang out from the distance. Before long, the Cavalry of Death approached and surrounded the restaurant. However, they did not come too close. They were only here to keep an eye on the restaurant.
Bu Fang put his hands behind his back and focused his eyes. “Marquis? This woman is so arrogant,” he said.
Nethery let out her breath. In fact, she did not care much about her status as a Cursed Goddess. But now that she had this status, many things could not be done as she wished.
“That’s not arrogance, but confidence. Her Excellency Soul is qualified to be proud of herself,” Marchioness Ruoshui said to Bu Fang.
“Nine out of ten common people in Void City support Her Excellency Soul. Of the one hundred and seventy-nine viscounts, one hundred and fifty have chosen to support her. Of the three counts, two are with her, except Countess Xia Qiu. Only two of the three marquises remain, and one of them supports her.
“On top of that, Her Excellency Soul has Duchess Tianlian and the entire Soul Demon Universe’s support. So, what reason do you think there is for her to lose?”
Marchioness Ruoshui gave Bu Fang a detailed analysis. After that, she sighed and left the restaurant with the two counts. Although what Soul had just done was quite chilling, they still had to choose a side, and supporting her was the best choice. If they took the wrong side, they would have to face death.
“Nethery also has supporters... and she has the entire Chaotic Universe behind her,” Bu Fang said, twitching his lips.
“The Chaotic Universe? A universe that has fallen behind?” The little girl, who had been silent, chuckled, making Bu Fang a little embarrassed. “The Soul Demon Universe is more powerful than you can imagine, not to mention that its supreme leader, the Soul God, hasn’t awakened yet...” said the little girl.
“Even the Primitive Universe may not be a match for the Soul Demon Universe. A mere Chaotic Universe is not even considered a trump card.” The little girl sat on a chair, dangling her legs and chuckling.
“The Chaotic Universe is very strong!”
Bu Fang thought he should get Er Ha, Lord Dog, and the others to come here. With the help of the modern-day Heavengods, Nethery should have more confidence.
In his opinion, although Lord Dog and Er Ha might have only been at the level of a marquis, if their cultivation base was restored to its peak, Heavengod Life and Heavengod Time would definitely not be weaker than a duke!
“Yes, we have Lord Dog,” Nethery said, narrowing her eyes and chuckling.

‘As a last resort, I can get Lord Dog and the others to come here and help us...’ Bu Fang thought to himself.
The five Heavengods of the Chaotic Universe were very strong, although Heavengod Transmigration had betrayed them, and Heavengod Space and Heavengod Destruction had not yet returned...
“Your Excellency Nethery, if you don’t mind, the Alchemy Workshop would like to support you,” Master Zhen Yong said suddenly.
Viscount Ash’s pupils constricted. Although Alchemy Workshop was not strong, it held extraordinary strategic significance. Besides, Master Zhen Yong was not its only expert. There was also Master Jia Song. But... could Master Zhen Yong make such a major decision on behalf of the Alchemy Workshop?
“Jia Song? Don’t worry, that old guy won’t overrule me,” Master Zhen Yong said with a smile, looking confident.
With the help of the Alchemy Workshop, Nethery was no longer a Cursed Goddess without her own forces. Although its strength was not at all on the same level as Soul’s forces, it at least gave Nethery something. After all, Master Zhen Yong was now a Chaotic Saint.
...
A voluptuous figure flew through the void. Soon, it approached a cluster of magnificent buildings. The figure descended and landed in front of the towering gates that guarded the huge palace.
Duchess Tianlian sat cross-legged on the ground with flower petals swirling around her. “You’re here, Yunlan,” she said, smiling.
The noblewoman frowned. “It’s really you... Did you imitate the Queen’s will to summon me here? How dare you do something so reckless and crazy?”
Duchess Tianlian stood up. In front of the huge palace, she looked as tiny as an ant. However, her aura was in no way smaller than the building. “You’re not the only one...” There was a complicated look in her eyes.
In the distance, a dream-like figure emerged. With the arrival of Duchess Nightmare, all three dukes had gathered in front of the Queen’s palace.
“Are you crazy?” Duchess Nightmare said, looking at Duchess Tianlian.
“This is Soul’s plan... She wants me to keep you busy,” Duchess Tianlian said, chuckling. Flower petals kept emerging and swirling around her, each looking soft and beautiful.
“I can’t believe you have imitated the Queen’s will... You’re courting death!” Duchess Nightmare’s eyes were filled with surging fury. Although the Queen had not appeared for a long time, they still held great reverence for her. She could not believe that Duchess Tianlian had dared to do such a treacherous thing.
“Alas...” Duchess Tianlian sighed.
Duchess Nightmare gave a cold snort. She knew what Duchess Tianlian was up to, so she turned around and was ready to leave.
However, the flower petals swirling around Duchess Tianlian suddenly turned sharp and transformed into blades. A buzzing sound rang out, and the magnificent palace was gone. All that was left were countless flower petals.
“Stay and have a chat with me. It’s been thousands of years since we three sisters had a good chat,” Duchess Tianlian said.
“You want me to stay here? Do you think you can do that?” Duchess Nightmare’s voice was cold, and she was boiling with rage. The noblewoman also shook her head in disappointment. The next moment, their aura erupted and towered into the sky.
For a moment, three pillars of Chaotic Energy thrust into the sky as the three dukes fought fiercely.
...
Sitting cross-legged in the center of her palace, Houtu narrowed her eyes slightly. The ground began to shake, and ripples were spreading across the surface of the tea in a bronze teacup in front of her.
As the roar and hiss of savage beasts and the clattering sound of hooves filled the air, the world in front of Houtu opened up. Presented before her was the Cavalry of Death with tens of thousands of men and beasts! A great war was on the verge of breaking out!
