For several years, Lu Fan stayed within the Ziwei Realm, enjoying a leisurely existence accompanied by a group of old monsters within the entire Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range.
The divine path had not yet opened, causing great concern among the old monsters. This was no trivial matter. They had informed Lu Fan that the divine path would open within a few years, but there had been no movement, which naturally made them anxious.
After all, it was precisely for the divine path that Lu Fan had promised them survival and allowed them to follow him. If the divine path did not open soon, they would have no way to account for themselves to Lu Fan.
"The divine path is delayed in opening; this situation cannot continue!"
The old man in green robes spoke, "Should we not devise a plan? Otherwise, it will undoubtedly be a great trouble for us. After all, the master said that if we deceive him, we might perish both body and soul!"
"Why don't we escape?"
The old man in the black robe suggested, "If we do that, even if the divine path doesn't open, we won't bear too much responsibility!"
"Escape?"
The old man in white robes chuckled, "Is it that easy!"
Following these words, everyone looked bewildered and felt helpless.
Lu Fan's strength was immense. Even if they wanted to escape, they likely wouldn't have any opportunity and would instead invite endless trouble.
They were very clear about this, otherwise, they wouldn't have stayed in the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range.
"What are you old fellows muttering about over there?"
Lu Fan spoke, his expression quite meaningful, as he slowly approached.
"Nothing, nothing, we were just chatting casually!"
The old men quickly smiled, appearing respectful and not daring to be negligent in the slightest.
In front of Lu Fan, they were like the most obedient lackeys. Any slight negligence would lead to endless repercussions.
"You speak of the divine path opening. I have waited here for many years, yet there has been no news. Why?"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, "You aren't lying to me, are you?"
"This junior dares not. How could we dare to deceive the master!"
The old man in the black robe quickly cupped his fists, "If my guess is correct, the divine path should open very soon. You just need to wait patiently, master!"
"I was just saying it casually, you don't need to be so nervous!"
Lu Fan waved his hand, a smile appearing on his face. "Actually, I've been quite comfortable here in the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range. No wonder you old geezers could stay here for so long!"
"The master jokes. We were also forced into this situation, otherwise, we wouldn't have stayed in the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range!"
The elders quickly cupped their fists, their expressions growing more solemn.
They did not wish to offend Lu Fan, so their words were laced with flattery.
Just as they were conversing, the entire Ziwei Realm suddenly trembled. No one knew what had happened, causing everyone to feel a surge of fear.
Within the Ziwei Realm, numerous dynasties were shaken, and people exclaimed with fear in their eyes. Such a terrifying aura made everyone tremble.
"What is happening?"
Zhao Xiaotian frowned, his expression grave. He had not expected such a thunderous presence within the Ziwei Realm, which naturally caused him some concern.
"The aura of a god!"
Lu Fan spoke, "This is the aura of a god. Could it be true that the divine path is about to open, as they said!"
"That's right, it's the aura of the divine path, absolutely the aura of the divine path!"
Everyone spoke in unison, their eyes filled with joy. They had thought the divine path would take much longer to open, but they never expected it to open at this moment, which was truly astonishing.
"It seems you didn't lie to me!"
Lu Fan looked at the old men, the corners of his mouth curving upward. He had already reached an extremely high realm, and becoming a god only required a catalyst. If this divine path could truly lead to godhood, it might be his ultimate destination.
"Our party will surely follow the master and step onto the divine path together!"
The old men cupped their fists, appearing incredibly excited. They had waited for tens of thousands of years in the Ziwei Realm for this very moment. Now that the divine path had opened, they would undoubtedly give their all.
"You have withered here for ten thousand years. Today, I will lead you to conquer the divine path!"
Lu Fan's lips curved upward slightly, "I wonder what kind of battles await on the divine path!"
"Those who can enter the divine path are no ordinary individuals. This journey onto the divine path will likely be fraught with danger!"
Zhao Xiaotian spoke, "Master must also make thorough preparations!"
"I am naturally aware of that!"
Lu Fan nodded, his gaze turning towards the sky. Above, a bright moon hung, radiating immense light. However, everyone knew very well that this was not the moon, but the great path leading to the divine path.
Within the Imperial Dragon Dynasty, the Imperial Dragon Ancestor was quite excited, his gaze fixed on the divine path. He had not expected the divine path to actually open, and at this particular time.
"Ancestor, the divine path opening at this time is a rare opportunity!"
The Imperial Dragon Emperor approached, cupping his fists, "Ancestor, you cannot miss this easily!"
"You rascal, you want me to enter the divine path?" the Ancestor glanced at him, "I think you have ill intentions!"
"How is that possible!"
The Imperial Dragon Emperor quickly replied, "I merely heard that those who step onto the divine path can become supreme deities, which is why everyone is rushing. With your peerless strength, Ancestor, if you step onto the divine path, you will surely achieve the supreme Dao!"
"Achieve the supreme Dao?"
The Imperial Dragon Ancestor burst into laughter, "You speak with great confidence, but your vision is quite limited. Do you know how many powerful individuals exist in this world?"
"This junior certainly knows!"
The Imperial Dragon Emperor quickly responded, "But within the entire Ziwei Realm, your strength, Ancestor, is undoubtedly unprecedented. After all, in tens of thousands of years, you are likely the only one to have survived the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range, which is proof enough!"
The Imperial Dragon Ancestor smiled with pleasure, "You speak well, young one. However, the divine path is not something we can participate in, nor is the path to becoming a god our path!"
"This..."
The Imperial Dragon Emperor stood by, filled with confusion.
"There are always stronger individuals. Those old monsters in the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range have lived for tens of thousands of years, and they may not have the chance to become gods!"
The Imperial Dragon Ancestor chuckled lightly, "With my current strength, if I were to enter the divine path, it would be a dead end!"
"So that's how it is!"
The Imperial Dragon Emperor nodded slightly, his face instantly turning awkward. After the Imperial Dragon Ancestor's words, he suddenly felt that becoming a god was extremely difficult.
At the same time, the Divine Deer Gate of the Ziwei Realm became increasingly luminous, drawing the attention of many.
Even quite a few experts ventured into the divine path, attempting to ascertain its true nature.
