Chapter 216: I'll Show You Something Good
Chapter 216: I'll Show You Something Good
As night fell, a blood-red glow hung high in the sky, casting an eerie and terrifying aura over the entire world.
Thunder God Great Venerable handed his chart to Qi Yuan, his expression complex.
"Do you plan to use Divine Contemplation Technique to create more Divine Heart Realms and distribute them to the Ancient Deities?"
Qi Yuan took the chart and nodded, "Mhm."
"That might be a problem."
"Oh?" Qi Yuan was surprised, "What kind of problem?"
"It wasn't an issue before, but after your appearance...it became one.
Because...you're too good at Divine Contemplation!" Thunder God Great Venerable sighed, "The Visualization Land is actually supported by the Divine Pillar, and after its fracture, the world underwent a great change.
Not only can the Purple Mansion not cross into the True Deity Realm, but the Divine Contemplation of Divine Heart Realms in the Visualization Land is also restricted.
However, previously, there were too few Divine Heart Realms created through contemplation, so no one paid attention to this restriction."
What Thunder God Great Venerable meant was that Qi Yuan had contemplated too much.
For example, the original Visualization Land could create one hundred Divine Heart Realms, but the people of the Mundane Heart World could only contemplate up to fifty. So, no one cared about this restriction.
Qi Yuan appeared and directly contemplated fifty, and even wanted to contemplate more.
Thus, the restriction was triggered.
"The current Visualization Land can probably only support five Myth Level Divine Heart Realms." Thunder God Great Venerable continued, "Try to leave some for the Myth Level Plan..."
Thunder God Great Venerable was aware of the Myth Level Plan.
Regarding the plan, he neither supported nor opposed it.
But now, the children of destiny in the plan had only contemplated two Myth Level Divine Contemplation Techniques.
"Are there such restrictions?" Qi Yuan wasn't worried.
In fact, this restriction was similar to the Purple Mansion's inability to break through to the True Deity Realm.
He could directly use the Lost Glowstick to travel through time with the Venerables and citizens, going back to the past.
The last time Qi Yuan went back to the past, he had a sudden idea to try Divine Contemplation.
He discovered that he could enter the Visualization Land.
This meant that he could take all the villagers and Ancient Deities to the past, first for contemplation, and then break through to the True Deity Realm.
In the past, when the Divine Pillar was intact, there shouldn't be such restrictions.
Thunder God Great Venerable looked at Qi Yuan with a complex gaze, "So...even if you've seen True Deities beyond the Mundane Heart World, those True Deities, no matter how many or powerful, cannot save the Mundane Heart World.
I don't need grand gestures or powerful Divine Heart Realms."
Thunder God Great Venerable's voice carried a sigh, filled with endless hesitation.
In his opinion, Qi Yuan's existence in the Mundane Heart World was a mistake.
Such a dazzling and extraordinary talent, if placed in other worlds, might even surpass the True Deity Realm.
But now, he was confined to the Mundane Heart World, with no hope.
"Thunder God Old Venerable, you underestimate me too much.
Although this game is full of restrictions, fearing players will pass too easily.
But I'll cheat, do you think these limitations can stop me?
Just watch how I dominate and push the Mundane Heart World to its limits!" Qi Yuan said confidently.
The restrictions mentioned by Thunder God Great Venerable didn't mean much to Qi Yuan.
The only drawback was that the Lost Glowstick only had two uses left.
He couldn't just contemplate whenever he wanted.
He needed to formulate a meticulous plan.
Thunder God Great Venerable's mustache twitched, "A few words of praise, and you're flying high?
Push the Mundane Heart World?
Not to mention the True Deities above the Divine Pillar, but just those Myth Level Evil Deities, how will you deal with them?
I just received news that the vanguard officers under the Evil Deity Army Lord are gathering in Qingheng Continent.
These Evil Deities are amassing at Sunset Slope.
The Evil Deity forces are even stronger than imagined.
A total of thirty-four Great Venerables and over a thousand ordinary Evil Deities.
This time, their target is not just us, but to sweep through all the Ancient Deities of Qingheng Continent."
As Thunder God Great Venerable spoke, his face grew more worried.
Initially, they guessed there would be ten Great Venerables.
But now, there were thirty, indicating that the Evil Deity Army Lord was determined to sweep through Qingheng Continent.
"Sunset Slope, what a fitting name." Qi Yuan's voice was filled with delight, his eyes sparkling, "Thirty-four Great Venerables and over a thousand Evil Deities, this is a real feast!"
Just as he was thinking about using the Lost Glowstick's two uses to bring back more Evil Deity energy from the past, a large number of Evil Deities arrived.
"Have you gone mad?" Thunder God Great Venerable asked, looking at Qi Yuan.
So many Evil Deities were enough to sweep through all the New Deities of Qingheng Continent.
Even if the Ancient Deities from the south came to help, it would be too late.
In large numbers, those Evil Deities wouldn't let them enter.
"I think you should just go to sleep!" Thunder God Great Venerable continued, not mentioning the Evil Deity invasion again.
He felt it was pointless to discuss it.
He thought for a moment and asked, "Don't you sleep at night?"
This time, you're not sleeping?"
After arriving at Qing Shui Village, Shen Lei Da Zun noticed that Qi Yuan was acting strangely.
His actions were peculiar, and he even slept at night.
Sleeping was one thing, but then he hung himself on a tree, which was quite eerie.
"Aren't you curious why I have the audacity to be so reckless?" Qi Yuan spoke with a serious expression.
Shen Lei Da Zun paused for a moment, as it was rare to see Qi Yuan being so earnest: "I'm a little curious."
"I have a secret to tell you, but you mustn't tell anyone else," Qi Yuan whispered.
Shen Lei Da Zun's heart was no longer calm.
Yuan Qi Tian Zun seemed to be a man of many secrets.
And these were not trivial secrets.
Otherwise, who could have visualized eight Divine Contemplation Techniques of Myth Level with no known origin?
Now, this secret was going to be revealed to him?
He felt a strange tension: "I swear, I won't tell anyone else."
He looked at Qi Yuan with anticipation, curious about his secret.
"Actually, I've cultivated a very powerful Golden Core," Qi Yuan spoke calmly, but his heart was filled with pride.
Finally, it was time to boast about his Stellar Core.
"Hmm?" Shen Lei Da Zun was a bit confused.
A powerful Golden Core?
Nonsense!
No matter how powerful, it was still just a tiny Golden Core.
He had become a True Deity for so many years, and to him, a Golden Core was not even worth mentioning.
So what if it was powerful?
"My Golden Core is a star. Look up at the sky; see that? That's my Golden Core!" Qi Yuan pointed at the Stellar Core in the sky, appearing calm on the surface but feeling triumphant inside.
Shen Lei Da Zun couldn't hold back any longer: "Are you mocking me?"
"Old man, your vision is too narrow," Qi Yuan sighed. "As the saying goes, when people reach middle age, they struggle to accept new things."
Qi Yuan had once read a passage that said people were influenced by their past experiences.
The things they encountered in their youth became gods among gods in their hearts.
But as they aged, they became especially resistant to new things.
"You call this a new thing? Even if it's new, how can a Golden Core be a star?" Shen Lei Da Zun almost cursed at Qi Yuan. Was he making fun of him?
"You don't believe me?"
"Do you think anyone would?"
"Perfect, I'm about to cultivate another Golden Core. Keep your eyes wide open and watch closely. In a moment, there will be an extra little sun in the sky."
The true fire of the sun was constantly burning.
At this moment, it was already consuming the second star.
It was estimated that it would succeed today.
That's why Qi Yuan didn't sleep that night; he was waiting to see his second Golden Core.
"You're quite the braggart. If I had half your boasting skills when I was young, I wouldn't have worried about finding a wife!" Shen Lei Da Zun looked at the star Qi Yuan was pointing at, unconvinced. "If your Golden Core is that sun, I'll eat all the shit in the Mundane Heart World!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, a bright light suddenly flashed across the night sky of the Mundane Heart World.
This light wasn't very strong and only existed for an instant before disappearing.
Compared to the grand spectacle in the Cang Lan Realm, it was too weak.
It was simply because the Mundane Heart World was too far away.
And as Shen Lei Da Zun stared at that little sun, a large sun suddenly appeared next to it.
Shen Lei Da Zun looked at the sun, completely stunned.
He was at a loss for words, his body trembling as he looked at Qi Yuan: "You little..."
"It's amazing!" Qi Yuan, on the other hand, was delighted. Finally, he had cultivated another Golden Core. "See, my second Golden Core, I didn't lie to you, did I?"
"..." Shen Lei Da Zun's consciousness was a bit chaotic, but he finally managed to say, "You little rascal, you have the guts to achieve great things. To make me eat shit, you cultivated a Stellar Core!"
"Don't be a liar," Qi Yuan said casually.
Shen Lei Da Zun looked at Qi Yuan, his eyes wide with disbelief. His thoughts were racing: "Save the Mundane Heart World!"
He almost knelt down and grabbed Qi Yuan's leg.
"Rest assured, I'm about to beat this game. I've been thinking hard, and I've come up with a detailed plan. This year, I will definitely beat this game!"
...
In the Ancient Deity Alliance.
The atmosphere was gloomy.
Wan Shan Zun Zhe's face was particularly ugly: "Yuan Qi Tian Zun is truly despicable. Not only did he provoke conflict, but he also destroyed the New Deity Army Camp!"
"His audacity knows no bounds. The New Deity Army took the initiative to attack, sending a large army to sweep through Qing Heng Continent. Where should we go?" Wen Yang Zun Zhe sighed, also feeling uncertain about the future.
"This Yuan Qi Tian Zun is a real troublemaker, stirring up a major war! I'm not worried about my own safety, but I'm concerned about the millions of people in Qing Heng Continent.
They are innocent and have done nothing wrong, yet... they've brought upon themselves the New Deity's cleansing, causing great suffering!"
The remaining Ancient Deities mostly blamed Qi Yuan.
As if Qi Yuan was a great sinner.
Only some of the local Ancient Deities couldn't bear to watch anymore.
But this was also normal.
The establishment of the Ancient Deity Alliance included not only the native Ancient Deities but also many outsiders who had fled for their lives.
When Fei Huang City was in peril, members of the Ancient Deity Alliance had also gone to persuade the Ancient Deity Yuan to join the alliance, as well as Qi Yuan from Qing Shui Village.
Most of the outsiders had joined for this reason.
So it was normal for them to be soft-hearted.
The Ancient Deities in the meeting argued incessantly, debating for over an hour, but they still couldn't reach a conclusion.
In the end, the meeting ended on a sour note.
Wan Shan Zun Zhe and Wen Yang Zun Zhe walked together.
Wen Yang Zun Zhe's eyes revealed a worried expression, "Wan Shan, is your channel reliable?"
Wan Shan Zun Zhe patted his chest, "Fifty years ago, I've been in contact with Feng Ting Gu Shen.
He has always been loyal to the New Deity. This time, he sent me a message, saying that as long as we bring people to Sunset Slope, we can join the New Deity's camp!
However, since we're joining later, we need to serve the New Deity."
"If he doesn't let us do anything, I won't be at ease." Wen Yang Zun Zhe heard this, and the stone in his heart dropped, "I've already contacted several dozen like-minded individuals. Today, we'll go to Sunset Slope together to welcome the New Deity's army!"
"Alas, for the sake of the Mundane Heart World's continuation, we can only bear the name of traitors." Wan Shan Zun Zhe spoke up, his voice sounding desolate, as if it was truly unavoidable.
"That bastard Origin Heaven Supreme is truly detestable. I don't know where he found those Dark Thunder Orbs, but he's so arrogant and looks down on everyone.
He's forced us to leave here and become dogs for the New Deity. Alas." Wen Yang Zun Zhe sighed.
Leaving the domineering Ancient Deity Alliance to become dogs for the New Deity was indeed a bit unpleasant.
"If I didn't know whether he still had the Dark Thunder Orbs, I would have definitely destroyed them before going to Sunset Slope and offered their heads to the New Deity!" Wan Shan Zun Zhe said with determination.
"By the way, last night, a new star appeared in the sky."
"Perhaps another True Deity has broken through to the level above True Deity."
"It's a pity that the Mundane Heart World has always been sealed."
...
Sunset Slope.
Located in the very center of Qing Heng Continent.
Originally, there was a Demon Deity Army Camp stationed here.
Over the past two days, Demon Deities have been gathering here.
Now, over a hundred Demon Deities have assembled in the small Sunset Slope.
Leading them is a figure known as the Three Flame Supreme.
His red armor completely covered his body, leaving only a pair of bright and alert eyes visible.
He stood on a high platform, with over thirty Supremes by his side.
In just two days, numerous Supremes and Venerables had arrived, and the Demon Deity army was fully assembled.
With over a hundred Venerables gathered together, even without a word spoken, anyone could feel the immense pressure and the sense of an impending storm.
Feng Ting Gu Shen, wearing light armor, stepped forward, a smile on his face, "Three Flame Supreme, Wan Shan Zun Zhe, leading ninety-seven Ancient Deities from the Ancient Deity Alliance, has come to pledge allegiance. Your Excellency, please give us your orders!"
Feng Ting Gu Shen's expression was solemn, but his heart was filled with joy.
Even before the battle began, nearly a hundred Ancient Deities had pledged their loyalty, a truly remarkable achievement.
Three Flame Supreme's eyes also revealed a smile, "Not bad, well done."
Feng Ting Gu Shen quickly replied, "This is all thanks to Your Excellency's mighty reputation. These Ancient Deities dare not oppose you!"
Three Flame Supreme's smile widened as he looked at the gathered Ancient Deities from the Ancient Deity Alliance.
"We are willing to be the vanguard, clearing the path for Three Flame Supreme!" Wan Shan Zun Zhe declared his allegiance.
Wen Yang Zun Zhe added, "I've heard that Three Flame Supreme has a Flame Bird Deity as his mount. I'm the best at taking care of birds, and I'm willing to be Three Flame Supreme's bird handler!"
The other Ancient Deities from the Ancient Deity Alliance also vied to flatter Three Flame Supreme, looking rather comical.
The New Deity Supremes present couldn't help but laugh, as if watching a clown show.
Wan Shan Zun Zhe noticed this but didn't dare resent the New Deity Supremes who mocked him. Instead, his resentment towards Qi Yuan intensified.
In his eyes, all of this was Qi Yuan's doing.
"Haha, the backbone of the Mundane Heart World was broken long ago in the Battle of Hong Tang!
Now, they're just a bunch of jumping clowns.
If they didn't cause trouble, we would just turn a blind eye.
Daring to attack our army camp, Origin Heaven Supreme is the toughest person in the Mundane Heart World.
I admire such individuals; one of them is worth a hundred of you."
Three Flame Supreme looked at the Ancient Deities from the Ancient Deity Alliance, his words filled with mockery.
"It's a pity, but offending the army can only be atoned for with death!"
Three Flame Supreme's eyes gleamed with divine power.
At the same time, over a thousand miles away.
Qi Yuan lay on a tree, with Shen Lei Da Zun standing beside him.
Several other Ancient Deities were nearby, their faces filled with worry.
Qi Yuan asked lazily, "Have they all gathered?"
