The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings Chapter 1142

Chapter 1142: Chapters 1090-1091 Solutions Goal_2 Chapter 1142: Chapters 1090-1091 Solutions Goal_2 Given the current situation and the attitudes, perceptions, and thoughts of the various parties, if he woke up one day to the news that a faction had sparked a great war with the Demon Race or even suffered a disastrous sneak attack, he wouldn't be surprised.

Rather than such a result, he would prefer to be the one initiating the great war. That way, no matter what the Demon Race's response or what dangers his own side faces, everything would be anticipated, and he could make plans accordingly.

“In that case, let's do as you suggest,” Gu Ji nodded in agreement.

He then took Wang Boan's order and arranged for people to notify all parties.

Wang Boan was worried about the current flourishing situation of the human race, which is why he made those arrangements; but not everyone shared his view.

Continual victories within the human race brought immense joy to many cultivators, filling them with pride and leading them to think little of the Demon Race. In their eyes, the demons were merely accomplishments waiting to be harvested, stepping stones on their path to longevity.

Various religious sects and powerful independent practitioners kept refining their Magical Divine Weapons and crafting Elixirs to enhance their power, seeking ways to claim more merits for themselves and accumulating what was needed for their future conquest of a Divine Position.

The situation was better in the area under Wang Boan's command; under his strict orders, all parties complied and avoided causing trouble without authorization.

However, in other areas, even though they had commanders of large armies, these commanders neither possessed Wang Boan's supreme prestige nor his fearsome power. Therefore, despite orders against unauthorized action, many powerhouses still crept into the territory surrounding the Demon Race, hunting down solitary members.

Merits related to Divine Position, and their accumulation was determined by the number of demons slain during the human-Demon Race war.

Even amid a ceasefire, many powerhouses, relying on their formidable strength, continued to slay demons, their merits growing incessantly, leading to undeniable internal competition.

If others were doing so, it was difficult for anyone with sufficient power to merely wait quietly.

“Old fellow, how have your recent gains been?”

In a tavern within a Human Clan city, the Pestilence Venerable and Venerable Withered Wood unexpectedly gathered together in a private room.

According to human plans, every time a Demon Race territory was conquered, a Human Clan city would immediately be built, formations erected, and nodes suppressed to defend against demon sneak attacks.

Once these cities were constructed, many businesses saw opportunities for profit, quickly setting up shop.

Because the human army forbade drinking alcohol to guard against surprise demon attacks, but for many cultivators, alcohol was almost indispensable, especially after the stress of battle.

So, whenever there was a ceasefire, these cities, even those that had just been built, were populated with taverns that became the most popular venues crowded with countless cultivators.

Nobody would have thought that after decades of war, Venerable Withered Wood and the Pestilence Venerable, who once had animosity toward each other, would end up sitting together without quarreling, seeming to have formed a bond.

In the face of interspecies conflict, intraracial competition was permitted among the human race, but infighting was not. Under such ironclad laws, even if Venerable Withered Wood and the Pestilence Venerable had past grievances, they had to suppress them.

However, as the war progressed, on occasions when they fought against powerful Demon Race enemies, they saved each other's lives. Then they realized that by joining forces, they were much more effective at killing demons, so, tempted by the prospect of accruing merits, the two cast aside their differences and united to reap the Demon Race, building up their merits.

Over the years, as the two joined forces with Venerable Withered Wood's Deadwood Taoist Magic combined with the Pestilence Venerable's plague techniques, countless Demon Race strongmen fell by their hands, not only earning them an immense reputation but also reaping an abundance of merits.

Nowadays, the fame of these two individuals is no less than that of the Mo Family Four Brothers who serve under Wang Boan. Even when facing Supreme Strong opponents, they are not without the chance to contend.

In the last Great War, the two joined forces to battle a Demon Race Supreme Strong. After a long and fierce fight, although they didn't manage to suppress the Supreme Strong, they were able to retreat with their lives, which shows the terrifying advancement they've made over the years.

After the Great War, Pestilence Venerable had a significant gain, and so he entered into secluded cultivation, while Venerable Withered Wood continued to hunt the Demon Race, plundering merits for himself.

As soon as he emerged from seclusion, the two gathered here, ready to discuss how to plunder more merits moving forward.

“Haha, during the days of your seclusion, I had the honor of encountering several isolated Demon Kings. I suppressed them and then annihilated a faction of the Demon Race Tribe. I have now surged into the ranks within the top nine hundred on the List of Divine Honor,” Venerable Withered Wood said with a hint of pride, laughing.

“Within the top nine hundred of the List of Divine Honor!” Pestilence Venerable was also greatly surprised, his face revealing an expression of enviable admiration, “You really hit the jackpot this time.”

The List of Divine Honor encompasses the names of all cultivators participating in the War of Sealing Gods. Anyone who contributes merits can be listed on it.

However, there are countless cultivators involved in the War of Sealing Gods. To snatch that powerful Divine Position of Longevity, they must ensure that their ranks are as high as possible. Only then might they stand a chance to compete for the Divine Positions they desire in the future.

But the competition for ranking on the List of Divine Honor is too fierce. All the powerhouses of the human race participate, and in addition to the cultivators from the Immortal Gate Powers, even the independent practitioners who are strong do not give up.

As powerful as Pestilence Venerable and Venerable Withered Wood are within the Spirit Realm Eightfold, ranking among the very best, the efficiency with which they harvest merits by jointly fighting against the Demon Race is extraordinarily high, but compared to the overall strength of the human race, they still fall somewhat short.

Ever since the List of Divine Honor appeared, even though the two never paused or delayed, their ranking never broke into the top one thousand. Those positions within the top one thousand are almost exclusively occupied by Supreme Strong figures and the disciples of Immortal Gate Powers.

Their rankings have always hovered just outside the top one thousand, and sometimes they would even regress if they were not careful, which shows just how intense the competition can be.

And now, with Venerable Withered Wood having the chance to break into the top nine hundred, it means that if he can maintain his position, he might have the opportunity to compete for a True God position in the future.

One must know that according to the news received, there are less than four hundred True God positions on the Gods Sealing List. Excluding similar overlapping objectives for some individuals, being within the top nine hundred greatly increases the likelihood of obtaining a True God position.

“True God position, that is, in the future, one can wield authority, on par with a True Immortal. As long as the Heavenly Court does not fall, one can exist forever between Heaven and Earth,” Pestilence Venerable said, unable to hide his own envy.

True God positions within the ranks of Longevity are starkly different from those common positions of mountain gods and land gods. If one speaks frankly, even if one day the Daming World perishes, as long as the Heavenly Court remains, they can still rely on the existence of the Heavenly Court.

In the eyes of many powerhouses, securing a True God position is the real possibility of achieving immortality. Even if Heaven and Earth were to perish, they could still exist through time.

“Sigh, it's just luck. Whether I can keep the rank in the future is still uncertain,” said Venerable Withered Wood modestly, waving his hand.

Now, his entry into the ranks is only temporary. The ranking on the List of Divine Honor is always changing. Until the very last moment, no one can be sure they won't be surpassed by those behind them. Therefore, he has not allowed himself to believe that victory is already within his grasp.

Of course, despite saying this, the pride in his speech is hard to conceal. After all, for him, having come this far is already surpassing countless opponents, with immortality within sight.

“This time, my Divine Abilities have greatly improved during my seclusion. Do you have any good targets?” Pestilence Venerable asked Venerable Withered Wood.

This time, his Divine Abilities had improved further during his cultivation retreat, and seeing Venerable Withered Wood's progress during this period, he too was eager to take action.
