As the Hell Demon Emperor and the Fallen Angel Emperor were trapped in the spatial illusion, no one from the Hell Demon and Fallen Angel races could stop Zheng Dong.
Zheng Dong used spatial teleportation to arrive at the Fallen Angel territory.
Although they had not established a totem kingdom, the Fallen Angel race had built a city.
Within the city, there were millions of Fallen Angels.
These Fallen Angels were not strong; most were quasi-god level.
Fallen Angels reached the totem level upon adulthood, and those with some talent became quasi-god level.
However, advancement became increasingly difficult, with only one in a thousand condensing a divine spark, and even fewer becoming upper gods or main gods.
After entering the Fallen Angel City, Zheng Dong searched for the resources collected by the Fallen Angel race.
He quickly found the Fallen Angel Emperor's palace.
The palace was located in the core of the Fallen Angel City, guarded by two upper god level Fallen Angels.
Zheng Dong did not pay them much attention.
He used spatial teleportation to enter the palace and found the two Fallen Angels.
These two Fallen Angels were also shocked.
Someone dared to intrude directly into their imperial palace and appear before them so brazenly, showing no regard for the Fallen Angel race.
Instantly, they held nothing back and unleashed their most ferocious attacks on Zheng Dong.
The two Fallen Angels exerted their power, unleashing their divine skill, Eternal Fall.
A strange black light, like a tornado, descended from the sky, attempting to engulf Zheng Dong.
Zheng Dong unfolded his divine kingdom, raised the Blade of the Past, and slashed towards the black light.
Under the augmentation of his divine kingdom, he channeled immense law power, propelled the Blade of the Past, split the black light, and turned it into countless light spots that gradually vanished from sight.
The two Fallen Angels were startled. Their combined attack had been blocked, and only then did they realize Zheng Dong's power.
Zheng Dong had concealed his aura, so they had not discovered that Zheng Dong was already a main god, whose realm was close to that of a sovereign, making it easy for him to deal with them.
Next, Zheng Dong swung the Blade of the Past again, cleaving towards one Fallen Angel.
This Fallen Angel, terrified, frantically tried to block, but it was still no match. It was split in two, its divine spark and soul completely shattered.
The remaining Fallen Angel, petrified, frantically tried to escape.
Unfortunately, its speed was no match for Zheng Dong's. He intercepted its escape route.
"You... what do you want? If you kill me... my Emperor will not let you go!" the Fallen Angel said nervously.
"If you don't want to end up like it, quickly take me to your resource repository!" Zheng Dong said.
The Fallen Angel looked at the Blade of the Past in Zheng Dong's hand, filled with fear. After a moment of hesitation, it quickly led Zheng Dong there.
The resource repository was within the Fallen Angel Emperor's palace, located dozens of meters underground in a subterranean palace.
Here, resources below the divine level were piled up like mountains, and there were also quite a few divine level resources, even a few partially damaged divine artifacts.
Unfortunately, there were no divine artifacts related to the power of destiny.
Zheng Dong collected all the resources there and then headed for the Hell Demon race's territory, leaving behind a bewildered Fallen Angel.
It quickly realized that Zheng Dong had kept his word and had not killed it.
This made it secretly rejoice and rush to notify the Fallen Angel Emperor.
Unfortunately, upon arriving at the demon territory, it discovered a large number of Fallen Angel and Hell Demon corpses, and neither the Fallen Angel Emperor nor the Hell Demon Emperor was present.
Zheng Dong soon arrived at the Hell Demon race's territory.
There were also many Hell Demons left behind here, but they were under attack by divine-level undead.
This异世界 (otherworld) possessed a large number of divine-level undead.
These divine-level undead were solitary, often attacking the cities of Hell Demons or Fallen Angels.
With the Hell Demon Emperor or Fallen Angel Emperor present, the safety of the cities was naturally guaranteed.
However, there were not many Hell Demons left behind now.
Among them, only three possessed the strength of upper gods.
And the divine-level undead they encountered were very powerful, possessing the strength of main gods.
As a result, a large number of Hell Demons became food for the divine-level undead.
When Zheng Dong arrived, he saw utter chaos.
The Hell Demons with the strength of upper gods could not withstand the divine-level undead and were preparing to flee to find the Hell Demon Emperor.
Zheng Dong looked at this divine-level undead. It should have possessed the strength of a sovereign in its lifetime, being an undead transformed from the corpse of a sovereign.
It was a commander of a legion on the divine battlefield.
This 异世界 (otherworld) was originally a divine battlefield, and many undead were self-transformed corpses.
Zheng Dong thought that perhaps he could recruit these divine-level undead, form an undead army, enhance Youyou's strength, and use them as cannon fodder at critical moments.
Therefore, Zheng Dong summoned Youyou.
Youyou had already condensed a divine spark and constructed a divine body.
Youyou was originally a Death Spirit Tower, and compared to other transcendent beings, condensing a divine spark was more difficult, but constructing a divine body was easier.
After constructing her divine body, Youyou was attempting to merge the divine artifacts Zheng Dong had given her to gain greater power.
However, Youyou's use of the divine skill Death Spirit Sovereign still could not command main god-level undead, only those of the same or lower level.
Thus, to recruit this main god-level undead, Zheng Dong would still need to act.
Zheng Dong's divine kingdom unfolded, rapidly spreading to the area where the divine-level undead and Hell Demons were fighting.
Instantly, both the divine-level undead and the Hell Demons felt a powerful oppressive force, preventing them from exerting more than two or three tenths of their strength.
This feeling was like fighting in water while wearing cotton clothes, making it difficult to fully utilize one's power.
Zheng Dong's divine kingdom, built on the law of destiny and encompassing multiple laws and dimensions, possessed a far greater suppression capability than other divine kingdoms.
Moreover, due to the complete system within the divine kingdom, it was also difficult to destroy, and even main god-level transcendent beings could not break through the boundary walls to escape.
The divine-level undead and the three Hell Demons with upper god-level strength all showed expressions of terror.
They had no desire to continue fighting and, in a dramatic turn of events, joined forces to try and escape.
After all, if they couldn't escape, they might die.
Zheng Dong walked towards them, holding the Blade of the Past.
The light emanating from the Blade of the Past was like a death knell, making the divine-level undead and Hell Demons even more nervous.
Before Zheng Dong could speak, one of the Hell Demons could no longer bear it.
It frantically knelt on the ground, begging Zheng Dong:
"Don't kill me, I can become your most loyal slave!"
This surprised Zheng Dong somewhat.
He had intended to recruit the divine-level undead, but the Hell Demon surrendered first.
Being able to recruit a Hell Demon was a good thing for him.
Perhaps it could be useful someday.
Zheng Dong remained silent and looked at the divine-level undead.
If this divine-level undead was also willing to submit, it would save him some trouble.
Unexpectedly, the divine-level undead attacked proactively, throwing a punch at Zheng Dong.
This divine-level undead was originally an Earth Titan, possessing immense strength. Standing on the earth, it could continuously draw power.
Its punch was suppressed, but its power was not to be underestimated.
Even Hell Demons with upper god-level strength would not dare to attempt to block it alone.
However, it was of no use to Zheng Dong.
Zheng Dong did not raise the Blade of the Past. Instead, he swung his left fist, punching at the divine-level undead.
Instantly, the divine-level undead was sent flying backward, its fist shattered.
Zheng Dong's divine body was incredibly strong. After becoming a main god, even if he stood still and let it hit him, it would be difficult for it to injure Zheng Dong.
Next, Zheng Dong punched again, directly knocking the divine-level undead to the ground.
"Either submit, or die!"
Zheng Dong approached the divine-level undead, raised the Blade of the Past, and a vast aura surged out like a tsunami, making it difficult for the divine-level undead to breathe.
Faced with a life-or-death choice, it chose to submit.
Subsequently, it signed a soul contract and became a tool in Zheng Dong's hands.
After subduing the divine-level undead, Zheng Dong turned to look at the three Hell Demons.
They were all kneeling on the ground, begging Zheng Dong to spare them.
They knew very well that even the divine-level undead were no match for Zheng Dong, let alone them. Surrender was their only option besides death.
They only hoped that Zheng Dong would accept them and not kill them for being useless.
Zheng Dong's recruitment of the divine-level undead was merely a whim.
If he could also recruit the three Hell Demons, it would be beneficial for him.
"I can spare your lives, but you must hand over all the resources of your Hell Demon race."
The three Hell Demons nodded quickly.
Then, led by the Hell Demons, Zheng Dong arrived at the Hell Demon race's resource treasury.
Here, resources were piled up like mountains, but the vast majority were below the divine level, with fewer above.
However, Zheng Dong unexpectedly found a fragment of the Wish Tablet here.
Although it was small, it further refined the Wish Tablet.
After collecting all the resources, Zheng Dong then had Youyou use Death Spirit Sovereign to command the undead.
Thus, a large number of undead gathered.
The strongest undead were of the same realm as Youyou.
There was no need to sign any contracts; under the effect of Death Spirit Sovereign, they had to obey Youyou's commands.
Youyou brought these undead into her internal world, the Netherworld.
Of course, it was not the true Netherworld, but an internal space formed by Youyou using the divine skill Netherworld.
The space was vast and could accommodate a large number of undead, which Youyou could command during battles.
The divine-level undead that had signed a soul contract with Zheng Dong would also enter it.
Afterward, Zheng Dong subdued several more divine-level undead with main god-level strength. These undead would become leaders of other undead, forming an undead army.
Next, Zheng Dong planned to return to Yanhuang.
He broke through the world barrier and returned to Blue Star.
Only then did he discover that the time flow in the otherworld was inconsistent with Blue Star, being significantly faster.
Therefore, in the eyes of Shen Bing and Shen Xue, Zheng Dong had not been gone for long.
Zheng Dong did not explain and planned to continue cultivating, also wanting to find an opportunity to meet his past self.
He planned to merge with his past self and attempt to break through his realm.
Having mastered the Beast Taming Talent and comprehended the divine skill of Deprivation, he had already found his destiny line from the river of destiny. Through the destiny line, he sensed a method to merge with his past self.
However, this also led to his future self finding a way to devour him.
If only the person in the black robe were not in this time and space, they would definitely come looking for him.
Zheng Dong adjusted his state to the optimal level, then continued to sense the destiny line and perfect the method for merging with his past self.
He hoped that there would be no mishaps, as it could potentially cause his past self to disappear forever.
After some refinement, confirming that there were no issues, Zheng Dong arrived outside the school.
He did not enter but waited outside for his past self.
Soon after the school bell rang, his past self walked out of the school, chatting and laughing with Ning Wei along the way.
But soon, his past self also noticed Zheng Dong.
His past self felt a mysterious connection from Zheng Dong. Looking at Zheng Dong, he felt as if he were looking at himself.
What was going on?
His past self was full of confusion.
Zheng Dong did not approach but simply nodded at him.
He seemed to understand something, sent Ning Wei away, and then actively found Zheng Dong.
"You're waiting for me?"
"To be precise, I'm waiting for myself."
Due to the connection of the destiny line, Zheng Dong's past self already knew what Zheng Dong intended to do.
"I don't intend to devour you. You and I are one. I just want to reclaim my past, hoping to gain greater strength to overcome the great tribulation."
Zheng Dong's past self also nodded.
He walked towards Zheng Dong, his body becoming increasingly blurry.
As he merged, it was as if countless past selves were integrating into Zheng Dong's body.
At this moment, a large portion of the destiny line surrounding the divine spark also merged into the divine spark.
In fact, as Zheng Dong's realm improved, the destiny line would merge into the divine spark, and his past self would disappear and merge with him, even if he were in the present time and space or another world.
Zheng Dong simply wanted to meet his past self before the merger.
As the merger was completed, Zheng Dong's body also transformed, taking on the appearance of a student.
This represented that he had become his past self in that time and space and had gained the recognition of that time and space.
This meant that in the future, when he returned to that time and space, he would be himself, and there would be no second him existing.
His past self had merged with him, and others could no longer travel to that time and space to kill his past self and thereby kill him.
At the same time, an even more terrifying aura emanated from Zheng Dong, like an abyss or a vast sea.
To avoid causing too much of a disturbance, Zheng Dong used spatial teleportation to leave Yanhuang and arrive at a desolate Gobi Desert.
He continuously stabilized his state, controlled his aura, and attempted to familiarize himself with the power of the sovereign realm.
In his current state, he could easily kill his past self before the merger.
He was tens of times stronger than before, and as he became more proficient in controlling his power, he would continue to grow stronger.
If he remained in Yanhuang, he feared he might not be able to control his power and accidentally destroy a city.
Next, he needed to quickly master his own power, then continue to improve, merge the beast-taming space with his divine kingdom, gain greater power, and seek an opportunity to become a supreme being.
Thus, he took out the Wish Tablet and wrote, "Help me quickly master my own power."
Shortly after, with the effect of the Wish Tablet, Zheng Dong once again broke through the world barrier and arrived at another异世界 (otherworld).
This 异世界 (otherworld) was vast, and Zheng Dong sensed quite a few sovereign-level transcendent beings.
Most of them were dragons, Eastern dragons created by the Undead Dragon God.
Immediately, he understood the meaning of the Wish Tablet in bringing him here: only through constant combat could he more easily master his own power and stabilize his state.
