Chapter 196: Words into Action, Qi Yuan's Rashness
Chapter 196: Words into Action, Qi Yuan's Rashness
"What a bustling and prosperous town, it's a pity."
Wang Dajia glanced at the scenery outside, a look of regret in his eyes.
The fields were a continuous expanse of lush greenery, with various crops standing tall and bearing abundant fruits.
However, no matter how beautiful the scenery or how prosperous the future seemed, it would all be destroyed under the footsteps of the Evil Deity.
The only chance for survival in the midst of war was to flee further south.
"Let's go," Wang Dajia said, no longer lingering on the past.
The Northern Territory had almost entirely fallen; the only chance for survival was to head towards the Ancient Deity Alliance and migrate to the Southern Territory through them.
At least for now, the Southern Territory still had most of its original lands in the hands of the Ancient Deities.
...
Dawn broke.
Outside the Temple of Gods, Qi Qi took a deep breath, "Foster Father, you're trying to scare me!"
Qi Qi looked at Qi Yuan hanging on the tree, wearing a bright red wedding dress, and the terror in her eyes had not yet faded.
Anyone who saw two people hanging on a tree in the morning would be as scared as she was.
"A dignified daughter of the Heavenly Venerable is afraid of this?" Qi Yuan hugged Xiao Jia and climbed down from the tree, "This is Xiao Jia, my... wife."
Qi Yuan pointed to Xiao Jia and introduced her to Qi Qi.
Xiao Jia seemed to understand Qi Yuan's words, and a happy wooden plaque fell from her sleeve.
"Huh?" Qi Qi was a little dazed.
In fact, when she first arrived in Qing Shui Village, she had vaguely seen this red wedding dress.
She had always thought it was a treasure, but she never expected it to be her foster father's... wife?
"What brings you here?" Qi Yuan sensed that there were others outside the temple, "Has something happened?"
"Foster Father, the Lin Kingdom has undergone a major change. The Former Emperor... has passed away, and the master of Flying Wasteland City has been transferred." Qi Qi summarized the news she had received the night before for Qi Yuan.
Currently, Qi Qi was in charge of logistics and various other matters in Qing Shui Village.
After all, Qi Yuan had only come to play the game, and he was too lazy to manage a village, let alone a city.
He was good at fighting, but not so much at managing.
Fortunately, Qi Qi was a qualified "steward," and she managed everything with precision and order.
"When will the Evil Deity launch their attack?" Qi Yuan asked.
Upon hearing this, Qi Qi frowned and said, "Among the Seven Cities in Flying Wasteland City, four of them belong to the Evil Deity.
If a new deity arrives, it's estimated that it will take two years to consolidate before they launch an attack on Flying Wasteland City."
As Qi Qi spoke, her face was filled with worry.
Time was running out for Qing Shui Village.
Qi Yuan's eyebrows twitched, "They're taking too long, this won't do.
It seems I need to come up with a detailed plan."
As Qi Yuan spoke, his enthusiasm surged.
Although his cultivation talent was average, his ability to make plans was top-notch.
Every plan he meticulously crafted was intricate and seamless, like a perfectly tailored suit, and when implemented, it was like breaking through bamboo.
Every plan he made was successfully executed.
"What plan?" Shen Lei Great Venerable stepped forward.
"Of course, it's to unify Flying Wasteland City," Qi Yuan said casually.
At this moment, Shen Lei Great Venerable spoke with a serious expression, "Among the Flying Wasteland City, there may be Evil Deities at the Sky Striding Second Step.
If I don't take action, it will be difficult for you to win with your current strength."
Shen Lei Great Venerable's concern was not without reason.
For example, the Eighteen Arhats and the Four Great Kings.
Their talents were strong, and they had limitless potential.
However, they were all at the Sky Striding First Step, deities with only one Divine Aperture.
Being able to defeat deities with three or four Divine Apertures was already the limit.
Defeating Evil Deities at the Sky Striding Second Step was almost impossible.
The Sky Striding Second Step required at least the condensation of twelve Divine Apertures.
It was rare for someone like the Dragon Subduing Arhat to defeat a stronger opponent.
"The Sky Striding Second Step is indeed powerful, but my plan is meticulous," Qi Yuan said, unconcerned.
Shen Lei Great Venerable burst into laughter, "When the time comes, don't beg me to take action. If I do, I'll probably have to run for it, leaving the Northern Territory."
If Shen Lei Great Venerable took action against the Sky Striding Second Step, it would undoubtedly attract the attention of powerful Evil Deities in the Northern Territory.
By then, Shen Lei Great Venerable himself would be in danger, and the only option would be to flee.
Qi Yuan glanced at Shen Lei Great Venerable, "There is indeed a problem with this plan.
Shen Lei Great Venerable, have you heard of the Ancient Clan One?"
Qi Yuan remembered what the Jade Flower Sovereign had said—within the Ancient Clan One, there might be a way to break through to the True Deity.
Upon hearing this, Shen Lei Great Venerable immediately understood Qi Yuan's intention, "You want to follow in the footsteps of the Overlord Great Deity?"
He frowned, seemingly not supportive of Qi Yuan's decision.
"You're not even a True Deity yet, and rushing into the ancestral grounds of the Ancient Clan One is a dead end.
Within the Ancient Clan One are the heroic spirits who died in the Hongtang War, as well as Evil Deities.
Even if you go in, you may not be able to replicate the Overlord Great Deity's path.
Currently, most of the ancestral grounds of the Ancient Clan One are controlled by the Overlord Great Deity, and even he couldn't replicate his success."
"Don't worry, everything will work out. I just need a way to enter the ancestral grounds of the Ancient Clan One.
I believe that with effort, any task can be accomplished!"
After all, games are made for people to play.
Where is there a task that can't be completed? That only proves that one isn't strong enough!
Moreover, Qi Yuan's eyes could see hidden information, and his ears could hear others' whispers and even their inner thoughts. With these abilities, he was confident that he could replicate the Overlord Great Deity's breakthrough to the True Deity within the ancestral grounds of the Ancient Clan One.

At that moment, the village head of Qing Shui Village, Yulei, spoke up in a loud voice, "Divine One, our Qing Shui Village has a connection to the Ancestral Grounds."
"Oh?" Qi Yuan's eyes lit up at these words.
Village Head Yulei quickly added, "Our Qing Shui Village is actually a remnant of the Ancient One Clan.
We have the qualifications to recommend you, Divine One, to enter the Ancestral Grounds!"
Village Head Yulei was a bit anxious.
Before the Divine One participated in the Hundred Flowers Festival, he had planned to inform Qi Yuan about this matter as a show of loyalty.
Qi Yuan's eyes sparkled even more upon hearing this, "Look, the in-game prompt has appeared.
When can I go to the Ancestral Grounds?"
Qi Yuan asked.
"It will take about half a month," Village Head Yulei replied, providing Qi Yuan with more information about the Ancestral Grounds.
Qing Shui Village had an entrance to the Ancestral Grounds.
However, without reaching the Divine Realm, entering the Ancestral Grounds was almost certain to result in one's downfall.
And to open this entrance, half a month of preparation was necessary.
"Half a month? That long?" Qi Yuan frowned. "How long did Overlord Great Deity stay in the Ancestral Grounds before breaking through to the True Deity Realm?"
"One day," replied Thunder God Venerable.

"I understand, I've figured out my plan.
On the first three days, send troops to Flying Wasteland City and take it.
On the fourth to the tenth day, capture two more cities.
From the eleventh to the seventeenth day, break through to the True Deity Realm and summon the big shots.
From the twentieth to the thirtieth day, take over the entire Flying Spirit Manor!"
Qi Yuan's momentum was high.
In an instant, he had formulated a meticulous plan.
The plan was well-structured, with a clear cause and effect relationship. Qi Yuan was certain that once implemented, it would be like a force that couldn't be stopped.
Thunder God Venerable was stunned upon hearing this. He looked at Qi Yuan with a puzzled expression, "This time, I won't take action."
He couldn't intervene.
"You stay here and help me guard our base," Qi Yuan said without a care in the world.
Thunder God Venerable observed Qi Yuan's demeanor and couldn't help but ask, "Are you serious?"
He felt that he himself had been reckless enough.
Every time his close friends met him, they advised him to be more cautious.
But compared to Qi Yuan, he felt he wasn't reckless at all.
"Of course, it's serious. Speed is the essence of warfare. I want to catch them off guard!" Qi Yuan declared.
He had no intention of waiting for the enemy to slowly approach and then defend the city.
"But once you start a war with those cities, the Sky Treading Second Step Demon Deity will surely hasten his descent upon the Flying Spirit Manor.
Perhaps it won't take two years, but only half a year for him to arrive!" Thunder God Venerable's expression turned solemn, wanting Qi Yuan to understand the severity of the situation.
"Half a year? No wonder they haven't taken over the Mundane Heart World in so many years. It seems they've been dragging their feet all this time.
Alright, when I return from the Ancestral Grounds, I'll immediately dispatch troops to occupy the Flying Spirit Manor and give that Sky Treading Second Step Demon Deity a taste of his own medicine."
Qi Yuan waved his hand and turned to Qi Qi.
"Quickly gather the chef squad, the musical troupe, and the mourning squad. We're heading to Flying Wasteland City now!"
Upon hearing this, even Qi Qi was taken aback.
"Now?" Qi Qi was a bit confused.
The plan seemed to have been decided on a whim.
And what was the point of bringing the chef squad, the musical troupe, and the mourning squad?
"I never repeat myself!" Qi Yuan declared.
Qi Qi's expression turned serious upon hearing this, "Yes, sir!"
When it came to Qi Yuan, she obeyed without question.
Thunder God Venerable, standing nearby, looked at Qi Yuan with a puzzled expression, "You... you have the spirit of my youth."
"Don't flatter yourself."
"This war... it's a bit of a joke." Thunder God Venerable couldn't help but say.
"It's just a game, isn't it? What's wrong with having some fun?" Qi Yuan shrugged.
Thunder God Venerable seemed to understand something upon hearing this and smiled, "Game of life, indeed. I've been overthinking it."
"It's just a game. Why make it so complicated?" Qi Yuan said with a carefree attitude.
An hour later, outside the temple of Qing Shui Village.
The mourning squad, the musical troupe, and the chef squad had all gathered.
These three squads, assembled together, created quite a ruckus.
"Oh no, my clothes are only half-washed, and I haven't even hung them out to dry yet!"
"What's going on? Did some Demon Deity die, and we need to mourn?"
"Where's the feast?"
The people on the field were in disarray, lacking any military discipline.
But as Qi Yuan appeared, the chaotic scene instantly quieted down.
Qi Yuan looked down at the three hundred people below, along with the Eighteen Arhats, the Four Great Kings, and the three main columns.
He spoke, "Today, we have only one goal—to point our swords at Flying Wasteland City! Let's feast in Flying Wasteland City!"
Qi Yuan shouted.
Thunder God Venerable looked at them with a puzzled expression.
The musical troupe and the mourning squad, along with the chef squad, were filled with excitement upon hearing Qi Yuan's voice.
"Feast!"
"Feast!"
They were familiar with this, and it was their habit.
They trusted Qi Yuan unconditionally.
After all, they didn't have to be on the front lines of the battle.
