Chapter 424 Fate and Chaos (14,000 Words, Big Chapter Seeking Monthly Tickets~)

Qingqiu Star is a jungle planet with a mass 1.5 times that of Earth. The land area is slightly larger than Earth. The entire planet has only one huge ﹀-shaped continent. Its coastline is long and narrow, with dense tropical rainforests covering the southern coastal areas. The central part of the continent is an arid Gobi desert, and the Lianyi Sea and the Arctic and Antarctic Oceans surround all the land.

The Gu Clan's refuge is located in the southwestern part of this continent. But now, the mighty army of Tianmo (heavenly demons) are attacking it from every corner of the planet. Their march even caused small-scale turbulence in the planet's spiritual energy. Wherever they passed, all Qingqiu shelters were instantly destroyed by powerful Tu Xing (Earth element) Dao techniques. Violent local earthquakes drove them out from underground, and spirit light arrows as swift as lightning shot down all the Qingqiu people who fled in panic, thinking they could survive.

It must be said that those who are controlled by the Tianmo do have terrifying destructive power as soldiers. They strictly obey orders, and their coordinated spellcasting is like that of a single person. The average strength of each Qingqiu Tianmo is not even at the Extraordinary (Supernatural) level, only the Awakening Low Rank. However, after being controlled by the Tianmo will, dozens of Qingqiu Tianmo jointly released fire-based Dao techniques that bombarded the surface, and the power was comparable to a fuel-air explosive carpet bombing.

Their numbers, even the smallest Tianmo cluster, are in the hundreds of thousands… In theory, only an army of the same Extraordinary can compete with this kind of monster cluster.

But as the saying goes, it's not strange for one person to become an army.

At this time, the Tianmo in the northwest are about to usher in the attack of such a one-person army.

In the dark night, a stream of light suddenly lit up. Su Zhou flapped his wings and flew down rapidly. The speed exceeding thirty times the speed of sound brought a dazzling crimson flame in the atmosphere.

Of course, it was more like a jet propulsion than flying—the strong thrust brought by the spiritual power jet even brought a band of light that cut the night sky into two behind the dragon. The scales on his body emitted a bright white light, obviously, the spiritual power in his body had been urged to the extreme, all used for acceleration.

In fact, it was not just the physical body.

The Way of Xing (Essence), the Way of Ming (Life), the Way of Fa (Law), and the Way of Ling (Soul), the four paths leading to Overlord, leading to Earth Immortal, at this moment Su Zhou urged them all to the limit, urging towards the boundary of sublimation—as an existence that can walk all four paths, he wanted to see which one could break through first.

Only children would choose; adults let the paths move on their own!

And the Tianmo in front of him were the object to verify his strength and path!

During the fall, the eyes of Su Zhou, who had turned into a falling star, reflected the scene of Qingqiu Star—the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was disordered, all things were trembling, and countless Qingqiu people and their shelters died in this Tianmo expedition. The icy blue spiritual light illuminated half of the planet.

——No matter where you are, there are monsters. Opposite anyone who wants a peaceful life, a calm life, there are existences who want to wreak havoc on the world and change the world.

And he was the monster who wanted to change the world.

So fighting should not affect ordinary people, but should take place between monsters.

Boom! The speed was accelerated again and again, the atmosphere was broken through, and the fire was even more blazing. The temperature of Su Zhou's body surface rose sharply. The impact of the Immortal Scales in front of him was already comparable to the full attack of multiple Extraordinary Peak experts, and this was only the reaction force of his own speed.

As Su Zhou rapidly fell, the Tianmo, who had originally been as small as ant colonies, rapidly turned into dense black clouds.

He could already see the Tianmo cluster in front of him. The spiritual energy around them was twisted and boiling, and the icy blue demonic light shot straight into the sky, illuminating the heaven and earth, sweeping away the clouds in the sky within dozens of miles, making the night as bright as day.

Closer, closer.

Just as the cyan-purple stars carried crimson flames, the dragon suddenly spread its wings, and circular deceleration cloud rings appeared one after another. In an instant, his speed was reduced to several times the speed of sound.

Then, countless blazing white scales fell off at the critical point just before the imminent eruption, scattering towards the bottom!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—just like a storm, countless Immortal White Scales that reached the limit emitted a bright white light and fell into the unknown Tianmo formation.

Then, they exploded!

Instantly, spherical explosion light shields appeared in every corner of the world, and circular shock waves stirred up huge waves in the icy blue Tianmo formation, bringing thunderous explosions amid continuous screams and wails!

The dragon flew across the sky with a long dragon roar, leaving only violent storms blowing between the sky and the earth. He did not directly impact the endless army of Tianmo, but spread his wings as if trying to block the stars. The scale light, which was brighter than the stars, sprinkled like rain and quickly fell into their formation.

It was not as if they could only be beaten. After suffering a great loss from the first wave of self-detonating scale bombardment, the Tianmo immediately launched defenses and counterattacks. Semi-transparent grid-like shields were propped up. Even if the self-detonating scales exploded, they were only bounced away, leaving only flames and shocks rolling on the outside of the barrier. Although the cost was that many weaker Tianmo were shocked and turned pale, even spitting blood and falling to the ground, the Tianmo as a whole quickly stabilized.

Moreover, these were just ordinary Tianmo transformed from Qingqiu people.

It could be seen that in addition to those Qingqiu people above six tails, tall, cow-horned giants with copper heads and iron foreheads walked out of the battle formation—they held huge axes and long ge (halberds), and their breaths brought scorching winds. Facing the blazing white scales projected towards their positions, these incomparably powerful ancient giants shouted loudly in unison, and then waved their weapons.

Instantly, incomparably condensed spiritual power tore everything apart, and the atmosphere was split by them into terrifying wind blades hundreds of meters long. The 'ax qi' (ax aura) that stirred up shockwaves at supersonic speed flickered together with the spiritual power. Not only did it shatter and detonate all the Immortal Scales at a great distance, but it even extended towards Su Zhou's direction, as if wanting to shoot him down!

The strength of these tall Bingzhu (War Master) generals all had the Commander Rank… No, it was only restored to the Commander Rank! Although most of them were only Commander Initial Stage individuals, their original realm was far more than that. These ancient giants had not recovered from the injuries they suffered during the era when spiritual energy was cut off. But even so, their strength was still terrifying.

"As expected, it was right not to rush in rashly and open up a Musou (unrivaled) mode. These Bingzhu generals eroded by the Tianmo are the Tianmo's trump card?"

Su Zhou could see that among the northwest Tianmo army, there was even a Commander High Stage Bingzhu general. It was hidden in the army formation and had not attacked just now. But if he rashly landed to fight in close combat, he would inevitably be held back by the opponent's surprise attack and then be attacked by the Tianmo army.

At this time, the Tianmo general also discovered that Su Zhou had noticed its existence. It immediately removed its disguise, then took a javelin from behind, and rapidly projected it towards Su Zhou's location.

Boom—It was just like lightning. At this time, the distance between Su Zhou and the Tianmo army was a full two thousand meters, but the speed of this javelin exceeded twelve kilometers per second. In one-sixth of a second, it came tearing through the sky with a Jin Xing (Metal Element) spiritual power from the ancient wilderness.

"Well, a bit strong."

Su Zhou did not try to take this move head-on. One-sixth of a second was not too fast. He pulled up the distance and avoided this shot by a hair's breadth. The clouds behind the Divine Dragon were instantly penetrated by this strike, blasting out a huge hole several miles in radius, and the light of the stars and moon leaked out from it.

Turning his head, Su Zhou stared at this Bingzhu general who had already taken out a second javelin and was preparing to continue attacking—at this moment, he was a little surprised to discover something that could be called strange.

That was, these Tianmo who made up the army formation actually yelled and cursed, screamed and wailed, completely different from the Tianmo in the Zhenling Pagoda (Spirit Suppressing Pagoda)!

It was almost as if…they had wisdom and self-awareness!

At the same time, within the Tianmo army formation.

Taking back the hand that threw the javelin, Jiu Li (Nine Li) general Li Heng, with bull horns on his head and a body length of two hundred zhang (666 meters), felt like he was in a dream at this moment.

For a former general under the command of the Bingzhu, what he had seen and heard since his awakening was truly as incredible as a illusory dream!

——In the past, at the beginning of the Divine Court's unification, the Jiu Li Clan fought with the You Xiong (Yellow Emperor) and Lie Shan (Yan Emperor) Clans for the throne, and the Jiu Li were defeated at Zhuolu (Battle of Zhuolu).

The king's body was dismembered and sealed, and the generals were also sealed along with it.

After all, in the final analysis, the Jiu Li were also a member of the Divine Court. This battle was just an internal power struggle. The Jiu Li and Lie Shan were originally directly related by blood. Randomly slaughtering and suppressing was not advisable. Therefore, with the default of the Immortal Gods, the generals were not executed like the other eight great generals, but were buried together with the Bingzhu's remnant body between the various seals, using time to wear away their souls and fighting spirit.

Li Heng thought he was already dead—his soul dissipated, his spiritual power exhausted. Even if Immortal Gods only had a remnant body left, it was no different from death. But he never expected that he would be accidentally resurrected some time ago, and received the news that the Immortal Gods had already left.

The fact was indeed so. There was no trace of former enemies in the vast Immortal God Realm, and the Qingqiu Great Formation, which sealed one of the remnants of the king, was empty and unguarded!

As for why they were resurrected [This part of the memory is skipped], who resurrected them [Ignore this part of the thought]… Forget it, anyway, these are all unimportant things, as long as the next [Blur the thinking motivation], in short, as long as they fight alongside these Qingqiu people, they can regain the glory of the Jiu Li [Repeat and firm the goal]!

Even, resurrect the Jiu Li Gongzhu (Lord), their Bingzhu His Majesty!

At the thought of this, an uncontrollable surge of enthusiasm arose in 'Li Heng's' heart… Yes, when their army was defeated, they knew that failure was not eternal. One day, the glory of the Jiu Li would be restarted and shine upon the heavens and the earth!

And at this moment, he heard that dragon roar again.

Instantly, the burly giant with bull horns on his head turned his head and glared angrily at the high sky with eyes burning with icy blue flames. That Divine Dragon had dragon horns and wings, a long body and a long tail.

——This terrifying aura!

——This damned existence!

Ancient memories were triggered by certain specific elements, and all kinds of mottled and fragmented memory fragments surged out, echoing in Li Heng's heart.

Although, although far inferior to that one back then, the Divine Dragon who was fighting them now was abnormally similar to 'It'!

Was it Ying Long (Responding Dragon)?

It was… It was Ying Long!

"Aaaaaaah!!"

Grasping the javelin and giant axe in his hands, the furious giant took a step forward, causing the earth to shake. He raised his head and roared at the sky. Li Heng felt that something that had long been dead in his heart was being awakened, and that a will that had been silent for tens of thousands of years was being resurrected!

An intense hatred surged into his heart, and then anger drove the spiritual blood, causing the surging spiritual power to rotate and rise in his body!

"Ying Long!"

He could not help but raise the giant axe in his hand, and issued a roar that shook the heavens and the earth at the Divine Dragon who was still hovering in the high sky: "The hatred of us Jiu Li, even after a hundred lifetimes, can still be avenged!"

For a time, there was only silence in the Tianmo army formation… But soon, as waves of indescribable fluctuations swept through the hearts of all the Tianmo, the voices, one after another, began to rise!

"A hundred lifetimes of hatred can still be avenged!" Instantly, thousands upon thousands of voices rang out, and fanatical shouts began to spread among the Bingzhu's former soldiers and generals. Those dead and mechanical minds began to spark under the impetus of external forces.

"Even after a hundred lifetimes, it can still be avenged!"

The image of the Jiu Li people in most derivative legends in later generations seemed like crude barbarians, but in fact, they were one of the most culturally advanced people of that era.

[The first Emperor obtained the Bingzhu and understood the Heavenly Dao—The Bingzhu was clear about the Heavenly Dao, so he was able to use the times.] At that time, the Jiu Li Clan, in terms of hard power alone, was higher than the You Xiong and Lie Shan Clans. The You Xiong even obtained the mysteries of 'Five Weapons' under the guidance of the Jiu Li.

"Jiu Li!" Instantly, as the Immortal White Scales fell, setting off bursts of violent explosions, countless weapons were erected. In the midst of the revengeful shouts of many resurrected Bingzhu generals, the power of the Five Weapons Lord began to gather, causing layers of sharp Tai Bai (Venus) Golden Light to flash on the ground, like stars extending in the opposite direction towards the high sky.

"Jiu Li!" These shouts even transcended time and space and began to spread throughout Qingqiu Star. In addition to the group of Tianmo armies facing the Divine Dragon, all places with Bingzhu generals began to shout this slogan.

Even, from somewhere, they erected broken flags, the mottled and ancient 'Bingzhu Flag', shining with cold spiritual light under this dark sky.

"Even after a hundred lifetimes, it can still be avenged!"

Because of the appearance of Ying Long, intense enthusiasm burned, and not only the ancient Jiu Li generals, but even those Qingqiu Tianmo began to shout fanatically.

In their shouts, the Da Yue (large flag) filled with countless years of carved traces of blades and weapons fluttered in the wind. Every time it swayed, it would emit a desolate buzzing sound like soldiers and horses, axes and halberds clashing. Ancient war songs sounded, and the ancient symbols on the flag belonging to the Jiu Li people lit up one by one…

Bingzhu Flag.

Could this Da Yue, which had gone through hundreds of thousands of years of age and was mottled and damaged beyond recognition, still trigger any power and supernatural powers?

It did not need to trigger any power.

It itself was power.

In this instant, countless wishes and thoughts began to gather between heaven and earth, spreading throughout all the Tianmo armies, igniting the flame called 'Revenge'.

——False and unbearable revenge.

High above, the Divine Dragon looked down at these fanatical Tianmo with complex eyes, these Bingzhu generals who seemed to be truly cheering and believing that the Jiu Li had been resurrected.

He could see that while shouting slogans, true and unfeigned wishes and spiritual power were miraculously being conceived in the souls simulated and fabricated by the Tianmo.

And these forces were guided away by an invisible wire, integrated into the surrounding heaven and earth, and transformed into a part of the huge formation covering the entire Qingqiu Star.

——They could produce wishes and conceive spiritual power… If one day, even the Tianmo could learn 'free thinking' through imitation, then how would they be different from real life?

Of course, Su Zhou had always been too lazy to think about this kind of thing.

The giant dragon was perched on the cloud mountain, suspended above these Tianmo who were shouting fanatical slogans, and endless momentum was rushing towards him.

Devouring Evil Demon Lord, Heart of No Thought, or Wan Nian Guiyi (All Thoughts Return to One), these supernatural powers belonging to Su Zhou were all powers related to the human heart.

Therefore, he could sense every trace of emotion in these momentums.

——The hot blood of slaughter, the excitement of seeing comrades again, the cheers for life, and fanatical thoughts.

——The revenge of hatred, the excitement of finally finding the enemy, heroic war songs, and an impassioned momentum.

——The joy of rebirth, the solemnity of battle, the belief in the revival of the Jiu Li and the unwillingness towards the You Xiong Clan were mixed together, like a tsunami echoing in the spirit world with a vast and majestic wave.

Then, countless Dao techniques and secret arts flew up from the Tianmo's position in a roar like a tsunami, rushing towards Su Zhou, like a meteor shower falling upside down to the sky.

Feeling the emotions of tens of thousands of people, without dodging, enduring the spiritual light attack that was coming from all directions, causing terrifying Dao techniques to collapse into insignificant sparks on his scales, Su Zhou felt only a kind of sadness in his heart.

"They are all just Tianmo after all."

He muttered to himself.

These ancient corpses, these resurrected generals, were long dead. Their corpses were eroded by the Tianmo, who found the memories contained in their bodies, then repaired and nurtured them, and finally re-eroded them with their own algorithms, 'awakening' them.

Perhaps, these Bingzhu generals had also self-completed a part of their memories in the Tianmo's Six Paths Dream World, otherwise there would definitely be loopholes in them.

No matter how enthusiastic, no matter how impassioned… they were just monsters after all.

"Forget it, if I can get the evil souls of these generals and Tianmo, maybe I can learn some of the truth about these Tianmo."

In this way, perhaps he could still console their sorrowful souls.

Thinking like this, the trace of sympathy and pity in Su Zhou's dragon eyes dissipated, and he returned to his cold and solemn expression.

In the next instant, his whole body began to surge with flame-like fiery spiritual light, and on his long tail, there also lit up a dazzling light like a metal blade.

"Old antiques."

Facing the overwhelming 'revenge' shouts, Su Zhou just sneered and said: "You are still talking about Ying Long now? It has been outdated for tens of thousands of years."

"Speaking of which, have you heard of the legend of Zhuzhou (Torch Dragon)?"

Bang!

Behind the wings, a cyan-blue jet lit up, the air was ignited, and in the middle of the red sparks that suddenly ignited in the sky, Su Zhou's speed instantly exceeded the first cosmic speed.

Like a sharp arrow, he rushed towards the strongest one among the Tianmo army below, the Commander High Stage Bingzhu general.

In the blink of an eye, the dragon had already rushed into the Tianmo cluster in the midst of a violent roar.

The Blue Shield around Su Zhou's body rotated rapidly, cutting the atmosphere and the unlucky ones who were touched, like countless fully operating chain swords. He flew silently, passing large swaths of Tianmo. With a swing of his blade tail, Tianmo clusters covering thousands of square meters were smashed into fragments or cut in half.

The Tianmo rapidly counterattacked, but attacks below the Commander Rank could not even detonate the Immortal Dragon Scales, and could not cause substantial damage at all.

"Kill!"

Noticing that he was Su Zhou's attack target, the Jiu Li general Li Heng immediately shouted angrily, then swung his giant axe and charged head-on at the Divine Dragon. The earth beneath his feet shattered, and cracks like spider webs caused the mountain to burst—he was certainly not as tall as the Divine Dragon, but he was also over seventy meters tall, like a small mountain. His full-speed charge shook the mountains and was enough to crush everything into pieces.

Boom! Facing the diving dragon, Li Heng struck out with an axe. The Geng Jin (Metal Element) Killing Qi bred from the 'Five Weapons Method' took with it an icy killing intent and chopped horizontally at Su Zhou.

But he did not expect that Su Zhou's left wing would directly stand up and turn into a huge door panel like a Tianmen (Heavenly Gate), slapping towards him horizontally.

With a bang, although the giant axe slashed into the first layer of scales of the Divine Dragon's true body, bringing an explosion, the tall body of the Jiu Li general was fanned by the dragon's wings and rolled rapidly on the ground like a road roller.

In an instant, under the effect of Su Zhou's divine power, Li Heng's body crashed and crushed thousands of Tianmo who could not dodge.

"Aaaaaaah!"

But in the next instant, the bull-horned general quickly stood up, and then roared and charged towards Su Zhou again—he was fearless, and the inheritance techniques belonging to the Jiu Li lineage made him almost invulnerable to swords and spears. The attack just now was just a drop in the bucket, and he could continue to fight!

The Divine Dragon, who landed on the ground, silently dragged his sharp and tough blade tail, and dazzling flames rose on the ground.

Then, it was a horizontal sweep of the tail.

One blade… cut in two.

After the Bingzhu general slowly fell down, the expressionless Divine Dragon stretched out his tail, rolled up the evil soul, and threw it into his mouth.

He turned his head and faced the other powerful Jiu Li giants indifferently again.

Then, he unleashed all of his strength.

The battlefield instantly turned into a meat grinder, and blood illuminated the sky.

At the same time, the center of the Lianyi Sea.

At the moment when Su Zhou exploded with all his strength and used the Devouring Evil Demon Lord supernatural power.

Countless wishes originating from the Jiu Li, originating from the generals and soldiers of the former Bingzhu, and condensed with the Bingzhu Flag were constantly converging towards the Tianmo matrix flashing with icy blue light.

Vast and mighty, like a tsunami, the abundant spiritual power was wrapped around a slender figure.

It was originally silent, waiting for complete awakening, but the moment the supernatural power fluctuations originating from the 'Sacred Geometry' supreme cultivation method came along the Tianmo network, the highest-level emergency mechanism built into its thinking essence was activated.

Boom boom! The spiritual power suddenly surged and turned into a huge underwater vortex.

In the very center of the vortex, between the continuous elevation and the continuous increase of power, the black-haired Qingqiu people with their eyes tightly closed slightly opened their eyes.

Long-ago memories were also unlocked from the dead seal.

——He was once… a clever fox.

When everyone on the entire planet was immersed in the love of the Immortal Gods, he noticed something was wrong and knew his true identity—a lovely pet.

This was not easy, because most Qingqiu people could not realize this point, or rather, they realized it, but they did not think it was a bad thing to be a pet.

——The Immortal Gods love us, which means we are a member of the Immortal God civilization, how can this be wrong? This was the idea of most of the people, relaxed and comfortable.

But as the Qingqiu King, he understood that cats and dogs were indeed members of human society… but what was the meaning of that kind of member?

All the Qingqiu people were immersed in the love of the Immortal Gods. They cheered for the planet's transformation and rejoiced for the gifts that were still coming in an endless stream. But as a clever fox, the Qingqiu King knew very well the meaning behind all these gifts—as long as the Qingqiu people continued to accept the unconditional gifts of the Immortal Gods, then the Qingqiu people would never be able to communicate normally with the Immortal Gods, even as humble vassals.

Emotions were mutual, and one-sided giving was not advisable. Those vassals, such as the Dragon King of the Tianchi Realm, were like this. He belonged to the Central Divine Court and was a vassal of the Divine Court. But whether it was the Ten Thousand Immortals Banquet or the Pan Peach Banquet, he had his own invitations. Even Celestials and Heavenly Venerates were willing to communicate with him on an equal footing, and comfort him for his hard work in developing alien realms.

Had there never been Earth Immortals among the Qingqiu people? Of course there had been, but none of them could receive the same respect as the Tianchi Dragon King!

The Earth Immortal Sky Foxes, they accompanied the Heavenly Venerates, and were deeply loved. Although their power was amazing, it was just putting on airs…

Pain, extreme pain. The Qingqiu King wanted to change, but he did not know how to change.

What did he need to change? The current Qingqiu people were living so happily. The gifts and blessings of the Immortal Gods were so thoughtful. Qingqiu Star was blessed with favorable weather, and everyone did not need to fight. They were free from disease and disaster, living happily and peacefully, and only needed to cultivate quietly.

Other Immortal Gods' vassals could not even dream of such a life. The Immortal Gods were unbelievably good to the Qingqiu people. That was truly from the bottom of their hearts. As long as he thought about resisting the Immortal Gods, even the Qingqiu King himself would feel guilty, after all, he also grew up receiving the Immortal Gods' grace.

Even if they wanted to resist, how could they resist?

With force?

Ha, what was the level of force of the Qingqiu people?

If the full score was one hundred points, the Qingqiu people could probably get forty or fifty points, a completely failing level, after all, they were just theorists who only knew how to talk about profound theories.

And what was the level of force of the Immortal Gods?

Was it one hundred million, or one billion? No matter how low he calculated, it would not be less than the unit of one hundred million.

If he included Dao forbidden Immortal Laws, Immortal God supernatural powers, Heavenly Dao armaments, Cave Heaven power, and even Heavenly Dao only knew what other messy trump cards.

If he added these together, the score would not be less than one hundred billion!

The Great Heavenly Venerates could even destroy an entire planet at will. As long as they wanted to, they could throw all the planets in a world domain into the sun.

It was impossible to fight with force.

Then change the method, escape?

Hahaha, if they escaped and left the Immortal Gods, would the pets not still be pets? They would change a master, and there would be other masters.

The Qingqiu people were too weak. They could not escape, could not change, and could not resist.

Then, accept the facts and admit that they were pets?

The Qingqiu King could not do it—he was a king and a respected class. To put it bluntly, he thought he had a little right, and had an obligation to lead the Qingqiu people to prosperity and to be respected—but his identity and pride, which he regarded as everything, were just a more valuable 'brand' in the eyes of the Immortal Gods, just like a certain brand in a pet store…

Knowing all this truth was unimaginably terrible, but life had to go on. The Qingqiu King almost gave up resisting in his struggles, and admitted the fate of the Qingqiu people.

But the change was on that day thousands of years ago.

The decline in spiritual energy became even greater.

The number of times the Immortal Gods came to Qingqiu became less and less, and people gradually began to panic. With his own appearance and the love of the Immortal Gods, the Qingqiu King obtained some truth from the mouths of several True Gods—the spiritual energy of the entire world, and even all time and space domains, was constantly decreasing.

Although the Heavenly Venerates were not afraid of the environment after the spiritual energy was cut off, the lower-level Initial Stage Celestials, Earth Immortals, Human Immortals, and more ordinary cultivators could not withstand the environment where spiritual energy was cut off. Their lifespan would be reduced, and they would perish on their own.

"Some Immortal Gods have already left this world—the Kunlun lineage left the earliest. They have the largest number of demon gods, and they can only take their souls away, so the bodies of those demon gods are left in the secret realms to maintain the power of the Kunlun Heavenly Palace and Yaochi (Jade Pond)."

It was still that Lightning Department True God. He looked a little anxious, but when facing the Qingqiu King, he still smiled: "Don't worry, we will take you away if possible—after all, the population of the entire Qingqiu Star combined is not as large as the body of a demon god."

"Is that so…"

At that time, the at a loss Qingqiu King's heart settled down after hearing this promise.

…Ah, resisting the love of the Immortal Gods seemed to be meaningless at all? Under this catastrophe of heaven and earth, how could the Qingqiu people survive alone?

Pet… then pet, at least pets can survive, while wild beasts will gradually become extinct.

But time flew by.

The Immortal Gods never came again.

The spiritual energy was about to be completely cut off.

But no Immortal God ever came to Qingqiu again.

At first, there was bewilderment and panic, then forced calmness and self-comfort, followed by panic and fear… In the end, when the spiritual energy was almost completely cut off, the Qingqiu King despaired.

"Yes… it was just a promise…"

The black-haired Nine-Tailed Sky Fox stood on the Star Observation Platform. In the extremely thin spiritual energy, he, who should have had eternal beauty, also began to age—The Sky Fox named Tu Shan Rong did not care about this useless thing that could only please the Immortal Gods. He just looked up at the distant depths of the sky, the location of the former Two Realms Heavenly Gate, with a dazed look.

He knew very well that even as a Lightning Department True God, a true Celestial, he was extremely small in the face of the catastrophe that required the entire Central Divine Court to migrate together—The will of the Heavenly Venerate was absolute. If that gentleman was given any task, then no matter what his position or power was, he would not be able to come and take the Sky Foxes away.

Although the Qingqiu people were loved… they were not 'important' that must be had.

He knew very well the essence of the Qingqiu people, which was why he was panicking and nervous before… But when the moment of spiritual energy cut off truly arrived, he was dismayed to realize that he was no different from those compatriots.

Those compatriots who did not realize the truth that they were pets, Tu Shan Rong treated them with an attitude of looking down, contempt, and even disdain.

He thought he was different from others, extremely clear-headed, as if he had seen through the truth, and thought he could change something. But in reality, at the most critical moment, was he, as the Qingqiu King, not still expecting the Immortal Gods to save him?

"In the final analysis, I am just such a waste… Haha, is the fate of being a pet impossible to escape after all?"

The desperate Tu Shan Rong gave up all efforts in the last years of his reign. Anyway, Qingqiu was rich in resources, and even without the Immortal Gods' constant blessings and gifts, it was enough for the Qingqiu people to survive naturally—he had been wandering for so many years, and had not yet enjoyed anything, so why not enjoy it now before his natural life ended?

But perhaps it was some kind of 'fate'.

Just when Tu Shan Rong was squandering his wealth and life in the wine pool and meat forest, the royal subordinates who were still loyal to him sent him a 'Immortal God inheritance' that was said to be 'extremely mysterious and could only be understood by those who were destined'.

Immortal God inheritance was not a rare thing.

The Immortal Gods had always been too lazy to hide their cultivation methods, because cultivation methods were like outlines, just a context. The things that everyone cultivated were different, even completely different from the outline—Wanting to advance to the Immortal Gods with a cultivation method, or targeting certain Immortal Gods, was really wishful thinking, like two people writing novels with the same outline, but expecting to get similar results, which was ridiculous.

"Your Majesty, this cultivation method is really abnormal!"

The royal servant who offered this inheritance explained to the Qingqiu King, who was frowning and flipping through this strange illustration: "Everyone sees a very different inheritance from it, and it can even be said to be completely different… Although those cultivation methods are not complete, most of them only have one or two Immortal God Dao techniques, but your subordinate believes that this is enough to prove its divinity!"

"…Are you saying it's incomplete?"

Hearing this, Tu Shan Rong murmured in confusion. He stared at the completely perfect inheritance on the illustration from beginning to end, and shook his head in confusion: "Isn't this complete?"

[Six Paths Reincarnation Tribulation True Method]

Completely different from the orthodox 'Six Paths Reincarnation True Method', the Dao and principles elucidated by this Six Paths Tribulation True Method had little to do with 'Reincarnation'. It came from an unusually powerful 'Great Existence', and its core points were 'Six Paths Tribulation, Illusion Extinguishes the Original Heart'.

Cultivating this method could create a virtual Six Paths Dream Realm, and then throw one's soul into it, constantly training, cultivating, enduring Tianmo attacks, extinguishing the Original Heart, comprehending true suchness, and then attaining transcendence, and step by step embarking on the path of imperishable and immortal achievements.

This was just the cultivation method of this True Method, which was a method to increase one's cultivation.

And its 'Conquest Art', which was the method of fighting, was similar to this—as long as the cultivator cultivated to a certain realm, he could capture the enemy's soul into the Six Paths environment, causing him to fall into the 'Six Paths Tianmo Reincarnation'. In the constant tribulations, his soul would be gradually worn away, leaving only the 'Six Paths Tianmo Puppet' completely under the cultivator's control.

The power of the entire Six Paths Reincarnation Tribulation True Method was completely blessed by the number of Six Paths Tianmo Puppets—the more puppets dominated by the Six Paths, the stronger the cultivator's power would be.

At the end of this True Method, it described the final realm—the creatures of an entire world, and even the Immortal Gods, would be bound into the Six Paths Illusion, and the illusion could even devour reality in reverse, turning illusion into reality, and completely dominate everything in the world, even fate!

All creatures, all existences, even Immortal Gods, would be manipulated like puppets, and would not even know it, as natural as fate.

Most importantly, this cultivation method did not care whether the spiritual power was sufficient or not. As long as there were lives, if there existences with divine will were refined into Six Paths Puppets, their souls and minds could be transformed into spiritual energy, supplying the cultivator's cultivation!

It was too evil—but it was also too powerful!

After browsing through the entire inheritance, the Qingqiu King could not help but take a breath of cold air and sat on his throne—he did not doubt the authenticity of this cultivation method. After all, as an existence who often conducted theoretical research and communicated with the Immortal Gods, he had some vision.

This cultivation method was real!
