Chapter 209: Running Away? That's Not My Style!

Chapter 209: Running Away? That's Not My Style!

Qi Yuan looked at Lishan Grand Venerable. "Is something wrong?"

Lishan Grand Venerable waved his hand, and He Zhuang, the burly man, and the Ancestral Elder instantly lost their senses.

Just as he was about to take action against the other Ancient Deities, blocking their perception, Qi Yuan spoke up, "They are all my subjects now. If there's something you want to say, just speak frankly."

After using the Lost Glow Stick, Qi Yuan returned from the past to the present.

Only a couple of hours had passed since then.

Upon his return, all the Ancient Deities decided to follow in the footsteps of Pinehope Ancient Deity, choosing to become Qi Yuan's subjects forever.

Unlike before, there was no time limit this time.

Qi Yuan's eight Myth-level God Contemplation Techniques were simply too terrifying.

After some discussion, they decided to follow him without hesitation.

Lishan Grand Venerable glanced at the Ancient Deities and his momentary confusion vanished. He turned to Qi Yuan and said, "Origin Venerable, you have contemplated eight Myth-level God Contemplation Techniques. This matter is of utmost importance, so you must not reveal your identity.

Otherwise, the Demon Deities will surely send powerful beings to intercept and kill you."

"Mhm," Qi Yuan replied calmly.

He was well aware of this.

And he didn't take it too seriously.

In a game, it was normal for the villainous bosses to come and die one after another.

"Qing Shui Village is located in the Fallen Zone. If you return now, you'll face countless dangers.

In the Fallen Zone, we Ancient Deities won't be able to help you.

If the Demon Deities target you, you'll be fighting alone!" Lishan Grand Venerable tried to explain Qi Yuan's predicament.

"Fighting alone? I'm used to it.

Now, I can't even say I'm fighting alone. Behind me, there are so many villagers supporting me, and each of them has a bright future." Qi Yuan replied softly.

On the Moon Gazing Continent, he had always been fighting alone.

Fortunately, Jin Ke had been there to chat with him, and later, Xiao Jie fought by his side.

Being alone in the Land of Isolation was the true meaning of fighting alone.

In a game, wasn't it normal to solo-clear dungeons?

Lishan Grand Venerable fell silent for a moment. These eight villagers with Myth-level God Contemplation Techniques indeed had a bright future, but the same couldn't be said for the others.

Being in the Fallen Zone meant a cruel future.

After a moment of hesitation, he continued, "A Venerable who can contemplate eight Myth-level God Contemplation Techniques is of utmost importance, even surpassing the Son of Heavenly Destiny.

Origin Venerable, have you heard of the Myth Plan?"

"No."

"In the Hongtang War, the essence of the Mundane Heart Realm was fully revealed.

Two-thirds of the Ancient Deities perished, and all the Myths died in battle.

However, even in their death, the Myths left a glimmer of hope for the world, a seed of the world." Lishan Grand Venerable's voice was filled with sorrow as he spoke.

He had once participated in the Hongtang War.

In that brutal battle, True Deities fell every day.

The Purple Mansion was reduced to ashes in the midst of it all.

"Mhm," Qi Yuan nodded.

Just a few hours ago, he had witnessed the Hongtang War with his own eyes. He saw the Sky Pillar shatter, and he saw the Gluttonyless Holy Mother single-handedly blocking the Yang Deity's clone, ultimately sacrificing herself.

"Even in its heyday, the Mundane Heart Realm couldn't stop the Demon Deities.

Not to mention us. Therefore, we can only rely on the Myth Plan to create a few Myth-level powerhouses.

Then, these hastily trained powerhouses will tear open a passage at the entrance of the Mundane Heart Realm and send out the seed of hope! The original Myth Plan had less than a fifty percent chance of success.

But with you, as long as you join, the success rate of the Myth Plan will skyrocket to thirty percent! At that time, we old fellows will risk our lives to send you, along with some young people and the seed of hope, out of the Mundane Heart Realm!" Lishan Grand Venerable didn't hide anything from Qi Yuan.

The villagers and Ancient Deities behind Qi Yuan were all shocked by these words, and their hearts filled with deep sorrow.

The power of the Mundane Heart Realm was still far weaker than that of the Demon Deities.

Qi Yuan's expression remained calm as he listened. "Oh, I see."

Lishan Grand Venerable was slightly taken aback by Qi Yuan's reaction. He spoke in a deep voice, "Please join our Myth Plan, and leave some hope for the Mundane Heart Realm! Once the Myth Plan begins, you can also leave the realm and enjoy great freedom!"

Lishan Grand Venerable's proposal was sincere.

He was genuinely considering Qi Yuan's well-being.

In the end, he even offered Qi Yuan the opportunity to leave the Mundane Heart Realm.

If it were any other Heavenly Proud Child, they would have agreed to Lishan Grand Venerable's request at this point, and joined them in the Myth Plan, carrying the world's hope as they departed.

However, Qi Yuan was Qi Yuan. He flatly refused.

"Running away isn't my style. How can I complete the task if I flee?"

He had gone through so much to enter this game; asking him to escape from it was a joke.

Qi Yuan's words left Lishan Grand Venerable stunned.

The Ancient Deities behind Qi Yuan were also surprised, and they felt even more admiration for him.

The Qi Yuan they followed seemed carefree and eccentric on the surface.

But when it came to crucial matters, he displayed unwavering courage.

"I will kill those above True Deities in the Sky Pillar!" Qi Yuan's eyes gleamed with intense killing intent.

He had only traveled through time to watch a movie.

But that Yang Deity's clone kept chattering, calling him a little bug. And then it attacked!

It was as if Sadako had sensed the presence of the audience and kept making noises, baring its fangs.

Qi Yuan would definitely seek revenge.

Moreover, the Gluttonyless Holy Mother had invited him to eat fish and acted as his tour guide. Qi Yuan hadn't mentioned this favor, but he remembered it in his heart.

He was determined to kill Blood Yang Supreme Deity.

If he couldn't kill him, he would devise a plan.

A meticulous and ingenious plan would greatly increase Qi Yuan's chances of success.

Qi Yuan boldly declared his intention to kill the Yang Deity, stunning everyone present.

If anyone else had made such a statement, they might have taken it as a joke.

But the one speaking was Origin Venerable.

Within the Ancestral Ground, he had contemplated eight Myth-level God Contemplation Techniques.

Such a peerless Heavenly Proud Child speaking like this wasn't baseless talk; it was more like a declaration of determination.

(End)

At that moment, the villagers behind Qi Yuan spoke up, their voices united in determination.

"I, Zhu Zhuang Shi, am willing to be the vanguard and clear the path for the Great Venerable!"

"Old man Yu Lei is ready to serve as a loyal dog and horse!"

"I, Chen Xi Fan, can do more than just cook!"

"My life belongs to the Great Venerable. Whatever you command, I shall do!"

Wang Song Gu Shen witnessed this display of unity, and his heart was filled with admiration, his battle spirit soaring.

"I, the divine pine, possess the strongest pride. What is there to fear, even beyond the True Deity?"

The villagers spoke with ease, as if they weren't facing a terrifying force greater than the True Deity.

Lishan Da Zun and the other two Great Venerables looked at Qi Yuan, listening to the villagers' words.

They never expected such an answer.

They anticipated Qi Yuan's refusal, but not his reason for doing so.

"The Heavenly Treasure Venerable truly intends to choose this path?" Lishan Da Zun's expression was touched by his words.

In the Mundane Heart World, there were Ancient Deities who supported the Myth Plan, and those who did not.

Their thoughts were similar to Qi Yuan's.

To sink or swim with the Mundane Heart World, and die fighting within it.

"It's not that I chose this path; they forced me into it!" Qi Yuan declared, suddenly feeling immersed in the role.

It was as if the Evil Deities were indeed pressuring him from all sides.

He felt like a son-in-law enduring humiliation, like washing his mother-in-law's feet.

Lishan Da Zun listened and sighed inwardly.

He knew he couldn't convince Qi Yuan otherwise.

"Upon your return to Qing Shui Village, please keep a low profile. Wait until the eight of them have grown, and then reveal your true strength. It won't be too late," Lishan Da Zun recalled the words of the Thundergod Great Venerable. He was concerned about the impulsiveness of the Originian Tianzun.

"Thank you for the reminder. Rest assured, I am very cautious in my actions.

I don't do anything without a plan.

I've always been meticulous and never reckless.

Even when faced with important matters, I proceed with caution, creating detailed plans first." Qi Yuan spoke earnestly.

He was not the type to act on impulse.

He valued precision in his actions, and his plans were always well-thought-out.

The villagers behind him looked on with curious expressions.

Wang Song Gu Shen also heaved a sigh of relief.

Only by following such a cautious guardian could there be hope for the future.

Lishan Da Zun, however, was puzzled. Could it be that the Thundergod Great Venerable had exaggerated?

Didn't he say that the Originian Tianzun was impulsive? But Qi Yuan seemed genuinely careful and cautious; it couldn't be an act.

"Please take care of yourself," Lishan Da Zun could only say. But then, his expression grew solemn as he added, "The Thundergod Great Venerable entrusted me with your well-being."

"Entrusted?" Qi Yuan was surprised.

That word should not be used lightly.

"It was he who informed me of your arrival at the Ancestral Ground.

He asked me to look after you and bring you into the Myth Plan, giving you a glimmer of hope for the future." Lishan Da Zun sighed.

"Where is the Thundergod Great Venerable now?" Qi Yuan asked urgently.

"He... went to find Zhang Feng," Lishan Da Zun replied with emotion. "His injuries were severe; he doesn't have long to live."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan immediately understood the entire situation.

He furrowed his brows, "Why are all the old ones so stubborn and unyielding?"

With a wave of his hand, all the villagers and Ancient Deities followed him.

Everyone entered the teleportation formation.

Qi Yuan remained silent, his gaze calm.

Zhu Zhuang Shi grew anxious, "This old man is running away after bullying me!"

He remembered how he had been humiliated by the Thundergod Great Venerable.

Time flew by.

Qi Yuan and the others emerged from the teleportation formation, landing in Qing Shui Village.

Qi Yuan gently tapped the ground with his foot.

Instantly, a short girl emerged from underground, spinning in circles.

The girl who appeared was none other than the current Land Deity's attendant, Xiao Xue.

"Where is the Thundergod Great Venerable?" Qi Yuan asked.

Attendant Xiao Xue hurriedly replied, "The Thundergod Great Venerable left last night..."

She quickly explained the events of the previous day.

"This is what the Thundergod Great Venerable asked me to give to you before he departed." Attendant Xiao Xue handed Qi Yuan a storage bag.

Inside the bag were the Thundergod Great Venerable's personal belongings.

Qi Yuan glanced at it casually and took the bag, "Zhang Feng... is from Cai Kingdom, right?"

Zhang Feng was an Ancient Deity from Cai Kingdom.

Qi Yuan had killed a True Deity in Feiwu City, whose brother-in-law was Zhang Feng.

Zhang Feng had joined the Evil Deities and become the son-in-law of the Evil Deity Great Venerable.

With the fall of the Jiang Kingdom, where the Heavenly Treasure Venerable resided, Zhang Feng's handiwork was evident.

"It seems my plan needs to be accelerated," Qi Yuan's eyes flashed with a hint of killing intent.

The twin sister beside him heard this and grew anxious, "Great Venerable, if we take action against the Evil Deities in neighboring countries, they will surely be alerted."

The other Ancient Deities shared the same concern.

Currently, Qing Shui Village had just returned from the Ancestral Ground with abundant resources.

Now was the time to lay low, conserve resources, and build strength.

To openly march into Cai Kingdom and confront the True Deity would expose their identities.

In the occupied zone, they would undoubtedly face a siege by the Evil Deities.

The twin sister spoke up, her voice solemn, "There's no need for the Great Venerable to take action personally. I'll go to Cai Kingdom myself and bring back the Thundergod Great Venerable!"

"Sister!" The twin younger sister became anxious upon hearing this.

She understood her sister's intentions.

Her sister was afraid that Qing Shui Village would be exposed to the Evil Deities. She wanted to go to Cai Kingdom alone to rescue the Thundergod Great Venerable.

Of course, she was aware that it was very likely the Thundergod Great Venerable had already perished.

Her sister's plan was essentially a suicide mission.

Or perhaps, her sister's intention was to sacrifice herself, ensuring Qi Yuan had no regrets about not going personally.

"Divine Lord, I'm willing to go in my sister's place!" The twin younger sister pleaded anxiously.

Qi Yuan looked at the twin sisters, a smile appearing in his eyes, "Do you truly think I'm a reckless fool who doesn't think before acting?

The strongest enemy around here is none other than Zhang Feng.

His Divine Spirit Power is quite valuable.

It's a waste that the Thundergod Great Venerable took his life.

Today, I'm merely adding something unplanned into my original plan."

The group communicated telepathically, and it took only an instant.

However, Qi Yuan's words clearly failed to convince these people.

The faces of these Ancient Gods were filled with reluctance.

But to save face for Qi Yuan, they remained silent.

Qi Yuan couldn't help but silently mock them, thinking that this batch of NPCs was hard to fool.

"No more nonsense, and I'm too lazy to talk," he said.

"I'm the boss, listen to me!"

"Point your swords at Cai Kingdom and kill Zhang Feng!"

Qi Yuan gave the direct order.

Seeing this, none of the Ancient Gods objected.

"Let's go!"

The group of more than twenty people transformed into a stream of light and flew towards Cai Kingdom.

Along the way, Wang Wenqi joined the team, and they headed towards Cai Kingdom together.

Wang Wenqi's great-grandfather, Heavenly Treasure Venerable, had been close to Zhang Feng, only to be killed by him.

Wang Wenqi couldn't forget this grudge!

The current Jiang Kingdom was in dire straits, and Zhang Feng couldn't escape the blame.

This time, Qi Yuan and the others made no attempt to conceal their intentions as they flew straight towards Cai Kingdom.

In the past, Qi Yuan's marches would be more cautious.

But this time, they went directly, unafraid of alerting the New Gods.

Instantly, countless voices were raised along the way.

"Who dares to enter my territory?"

The Demon Gods stationed in the city sensed the presence of the Ancient Gods passing by through their early warning systems.

They immediately released powerful auras to intercept them.

The ones charging through were Qi Yuan and his group.

"Kill!" Qi Yuan commanded.

In an instant, the twin sister took swift action, and a divine light flashed through the air.

Seeing this, the Demon God in the city was filled with terror: "How can there be so many of them!"

He couldn't comprehend it.

This was the occupied zone!

As a result, twenty Ancient Gods marched forward without hesitation.

This was undoubtedly a suicidal move.

After all, not far from this area, there was a Demon God camp.

Within the camp, large or small, there were at least a hundred New Gods in deep slumber.

Unlike these New Gods who had merged with the land, the ones in the camp possessed formidable combat power.

This reckless action by Qi Yuan's group would undoubtedly alert the Demon God camp.

Precisely because of this, in the occupied zone, none of the Ancient Gods dared to move openly, fearing detection.

It was estimated that within a quarter of an hour, Demon Gods from the camp would come out to hunt down this group of Ancient Gods.

Of course, he wouldn't live to see that.

He felt stifled and tormented.

Why had he acted without understanding the situation, directly blocking their path?

The Divine Domain of the twin sister expanded, and this Demon God had no ability to resist. He could only let the Divine Spirit Power enter his body, instantly killing him.

A dignified Demon God, who had been so domineering, died effortlessly and unceremoniously.

The price of his death was a significant slowdown in Qi Yuan's group's speed.

Qi Yuan frowned: "There are too many of these suicidal fools."

Indeed, along the way, they had already killed three such pests.

Each time they approached a city, the Demon Gods' defensive formations would sound the alarm.

With this addition, they had killed three.

"Divine Lord, we must fight quickly and return swiftly. If we're surrounded by the Demon God camp, we won't be able to escape!" The twin sister's face was stern.

The people on the field were also extremely worried.

In every Demon God camp, there was at least one Great Venerable.

With the support of a hundred Demon Gods, if they were surrounded, there would be no escape, even with wings.

"Understood. On the way to Cai Kingdom, there are always some Demon Gods blocking the road, which is annoying."

Qi Yuan felt like shouting out loud.

The young mistress is peeing, everyone move aside!

But then he thought that their speed was faster than ordinary sound.

Shouting wouldn't work.

Unless they used Dao Art Telepathy.

Qi Yuan paused.

Right... there's still Dao Art Telepathy.

He gathered all his Divine Spirit Power and used Dao Art Telepathy.

"Kill the traitor Zhang Feng. Those who stand in our way will be killed without mercy!"

With Dao Art Telepathy clearing the way, Qi Yuan and his group rushed towards Cai Kingdom.

Perhaps it was Qi Yuan's voice that intimidated some of the Demon Gods in the city, as none of them took action.

After all, Zhang Feng was a True Deity of Sky Striding Third Step.

Those who dared to kill Zhang Feng must also be of Sky Striding Third Step, right? How could these Demon Gods blocking their path compare?

Were they seeking death? Waiting for the True Deities from the camp to take action!

Along the way, Qi Yuan and his group charged forward without hindrance.

This time, no one stopped them.

The news of killing the traitor Zhang Feng spread from Lin Kingdom to Jiang Kingdom and then to Cai Kingdom.

Countless New Gods were shaken, looking up at the stream of light in the sky.

Many hidden Ancient Gods also revealed shocked expressions.

"The traitor Zhang Feng, has a Righteous Deity finally taken action to kill him?"

"Haha! May the Righteous Deity have a safe journey!"

They naturally assumed that Qi Yuan, who was shouting in the sky, was a powerful Ancient God with no way out.

This Ancient God, knowing there was no escape, wanted to exchange one life for another before dying.

Zhang Feng's defection to the Demon Gods had caused Cai and Jiang Kingdoms to fall under their rule.

The surrounding five kingdoms' situations had drastically changed, and they had also become Demon God territories.

These hidden Ancient Gods, how could they not despise Zhang Feng? How could they not want to kill Zhang Feng?

Suddenly, a telepathic message entered Qi Yuan's ear.

"Be careful, senior. There's a Demon God camp in the capital of Cai Kingdom."

The voice came and went quickly, obviously from an Ancient God taking a great risk to send the message.

After sending the message, the Ancient God disappeared, afraid of being discovered by other New Gods.

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan's heart tightened: "There's a True Deity from the Demon God camp?"

Could it be... that the Thundergod Grand Venerable had already broken into Cai Kingdom, alerting the True Deity from the Demon God camp?

The other Ancient Gods also heard this and felt a chill in their hearts.

The twin sister spoke up: "I'll go to Cai Kingdom with my sister. You all stay hidden."

"No need." Qi Yuan's voice was calm. "Zhang Feng... I want to see him alive or dead!"

"Let's go!"

He was determined to go to Cai Kingdom!
