In the southern part of the Tranquil Continent.
At the Tongtian Trading Company.
A gigantic octagonal teleportation portal floated quietly in the air. It was dozens of square meters in size and shone with brilliant light.
Down below, thousands of members of the Chamber of Commerce were looking up, their faces filled with admiration and reverence.
Normally, this most wondrous teleportation portal in Haoran was placed in the square at the center of the Chamber of Commerce's magnificent palaces.
At this moment, it was floating several thousand meters high in the air.
It had been painstakingly built with hundreds of spatial power stones and many rare spiritual materials. It could teleport members of the Chamber of Commerce to any location in Haoran that had a teleportation portal.
At this moment, a group of figures with auras as deep as the sea stood on the edge of the sparkling, translucent stone platform, staring blankly at the Devil's Palace.
They didn't need to use tools. Because their cultivation levels were high enough and they were relatively close to the Devil Palace, they could see what was happening.
Lu Liu, Zhong Li Da, Jun Chen, Zhou You, Feng Zhong, and Yan Qiling, the former grand commander of the Goblin Temple...
All of these heaven-shaking, earth-shattering figures were standing there, as if they were waiting for something.
After a long time, a faint spatial fluctuation spread out from the center of the teleportation portal.
Everyone abruptly turned their heads, only to see President Li suddenly appear, looking travel-worn and weary.
"President Li!"
"Sectmaster!"
Everyone either greeted him with smiles or bowed to pay their respects.
"I came from the Demonic Abyss of Calamity to the Forbidden Land of Falling Moons, and then here." President Li's aura was restrained. Only a few wisps of golden light could be seen flashing in the depths of his eyes.
However, the Blood Qi in his body was extremely unusual, and everyone could sense it.
After refining the first mountain peak in Haoran, and obtaining Alonso's Golden Blood from the starry river, he had become one of the most powerful figures in Haoran, second only to the Nascent Divinity realm.
Furthermore, he had many unique treasures and was well-versed in all kinds of spell formations. If he were to fight, he would have many things to rely on.
He had only rushed over after learning that You Yu had come to the Devil's Palace and was about to attack Zhu Zhen Ying, and that it was very likely that a battle would be decided soon.
He was in a hurry to return, and what he wanted was naturally that Deity Position!
"The Shenhun Sect will do its best to support you. This is what we promised."
President Li had just appeared and didn't even have time to say a single word to everyone when a soft voice suddenly rang out.
In the next moment, an evil stone statue quietly emerged.
The statue of the Evil Divinity had two faces. The evil side was indifferent and invisible at the moment, and only the benevolent side was facing everyone present. "We thank President Li for everything he has done for us, for Haoran, and for everyone present. I have already communicated with Tian Qi, and Zu An and Lord Desolation will also support you in obtaining the Divine Throne. "
"Lord Xu!"
"Greetings, Lord Ruins!"
Lu Liu, Zhongli Dashan, Yan Qiling, Zhou You, and even Jun Chen hurriedly saluted.
The divine statue with two faces had been imprisoned in the Sword Prison with them in the beginning.
Because of President Li's plan, he borrowed the power of the alien race to break through the defense line of the Sword Prison's guards and successfully caused the Sword Prison to fall into the Desolate God Pool.
It also allowed Lu Liu, Zhongli Dashan, Zhou You, Xi Quan, and Long Jie to escape.
As for the statue, it refined the Sword Prison and turned it into a part of itself.
This divine statue was originally something left behind by the Taixu Deity King back then.
Because the current Lord Ruins didn't have a physical body, he had become extremely dependent on this evil stone statue.
The stone statue was currently Lord Ruins' most important clone, and also his most powerful Divine Artifact.
President Li played a huge role in allowing everyone to escape and Lord Ruins to obtain this item.
Therefore, at this critical moment, although Lord Ruins didn't appear, he sent this stone statue over to express the Shenhun Sect's clear attitude.
"Tian Qi, you, Zu An, and the Desolate God! With all of you supporting me, I … "
President Li, who had always been calm, couldn't help but become excited.
"Don't be too excited. Let me finish." The leisurely voice of the Ultimate sounded again. "The Three Great Sects and the Goblin Temple won't fight with us after the new Deity Position is created. The only thing we need to pay attention to is You Yu. If … "
"If You Yu already has a candidate, and he still insists on choosing someone, we still need to consider and communicate with him."
"He represents the source of the Yin Vein. We have to give enough respect to the source of the Yin Vein."
"Of course, President Li, if you can't get this Deity Position, we still have a backup plan."
The voice from the divine statue stopped here.
"Backup plan?"
Not only President Li, but the others also looked over abruptly, a little surprised.
"President Li, you refined the Heart of Gold of Haoran's First Peak, Alonso, and took away everything from him. We have actually opened up a different path. With this, you can become an existence like Alonso. With your Yang Spirit engulfing the body, you can become as powerful as Alonso on another path. "
"Let's put it this way. All the power will gather in the Yang Spirit and transform it into a life form, reaching the level of a Level-Ten alien warrior. Besides, you should be stronger than Alonso. There's hope that in the future, you'll be on par with the Shura Of Gojoseon and the Sabonis. "
The Ultimate said tirelessly.
Overlords like Zhong Li Da, Lu Liu, and Jun Chen were also hearing this for the first time. Each one was more shocked than the last.
They didn't expect that the three Deity Kings of the Shenhun Sect, who had been dormant at the edge of the universe for tens of thousands of years in outer space and explored the forbidden land for tens of thousands of years, had opened up such a magical path.
This was simply creating a new life!
With the Yang Spirit of the human race, it was infinitely strengthened, swallowing the original body, Yin Spirit, and even the main soul. After merging into one, it would become another supreme and extraordinary.
"It's not convenient for me to elaborate on the details. I'll only talk about the advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it doesn't rely on Haoran's luck and has the power similar to a Level-Ten alien warrior. This is not a new life form, nor is it an alien race. It's an extremely powerful and special new form that can challenge an Essence Soul. "
"Of course, this form also has extremely harsh conditions. At the very least, it needs the blood essence of a Level-Ten alien warrior."
"There are other restrictions. We've found a way over the years. Of course, you've already crossed many checks and balances. "
"As for the disadvantages …"
The Ultimate's benevolent face in the stone statue showed some helplessness.
"After all, it's not a real Essence Soul, so it's not eternal. Like a Level-Ten alien warrior, he will still die in the end. There's still a time when his lifespan will wither. Moreover, it might be slightly faster than a pure alien. "
"President Li, the reason why I told you that this is a backup plan prepared for you is that you're special. You should know that you became a god with Haoran's luck, but with a complete Deity Position, you'll still be restrained by something. "
"Unless he dies, or he never becomes a god, then you'll be safe."
The Ultimate paused again.
"I know, Long Jie."
President Li sighed softly. "I rushed back because I wanted to become a god before him. I can only be in front of him because I only have one path to godhood in Haoran. And he, I know, has another choice. But if he transforms into a Dragon God with the Golden Dragon's blood first, my path will be cut off. "
He had calculated everything, but he didn't take Long Jie into account. Dragons couldn't become gods. This had always been a law of Haoran.
It had never been broken in tens of thousands of years, and he didn't think it could be broken.
Shaking his head, President Li spoke again helplessly.
"I have to become a god before him. He's a special Golden Dragon. After his dragon blood transforms, he can find another path to godhood. He's that guy's pure-blooded descendant. He has such power. And he, even if he becomes a Dragon God through another path, his Golden Dragon's blood can still restrain me. "
"It can't be helped. He's just that domineering on this path. After all, even the first peak in Haoran relied on the Dragon Vein."
President Li had already seen it clearly.
"So, when Yu Yuan returned and the laws of heaven and earth that kept the Dragon Clan in check suddenly shattered, you …" The Ultimate King seemed to be looking at him from the statue. "Yu Yuan was at the bottom of the Frozen Abyss of the Nine Hells. He repeatedly asked you questions at the entrance of the Frozen Abyss that you were guarding, but you didn't respond."
"The Dragon-Beheading Platform is still there, but the Dragon Clan has been unsealed. Long Jie, after being unsealed, is already my biggest threat in Haoran. How can I not be angry? "President Li snorted.
"We understand. So, we've opened two paths for you. The second path, you don't have eternal life, but you can completely get rid of Long Jie. "
"If you choose the first path, we also promise you that you will be the first to obtain the Godhood before Long Jie. However, we can't kill Long Jie. Long Jie may still become a Dragon God after you in the future, "said the Ultimate King.
"Of course, no matter which path you choose, we will support you. Please consider carefully."
The statue that suddenly appeared floated out of the spatial teleportation array. It swayed lightly in front of everyone's eyes before disappearing again.
"Dragons can also die."
The Ultimate King's final voice floated in the air.
Only the Nascent Soul of the human race, the Great Demon God of the Blood Demon Tribe, and the Giant Astral Beast had reached the ultimate immortality.
The Ultimate King's final words seemed to be reminding President Li that there were very few beings in the world who could achieve eternal immortality.
It seemed to be encouraging him to pursue the Nascent Soul of the human race, but also seemed to be saying that his enemy of the Great Dao would also die one day.
After the most mysterious God King left, everyone looked at President Li.
President Li slowly sat down in the direction of the Devil's Palace. Many thoughts surged in his mind. Facing the most important choice in his life, he was also upset.
...
"The Chamber of Commerce is bustling."
Hidden in the Falling Stars Eyes, Ghost King Tian looked to the left, as if he had smelled the auras of the Ultimate King, President Li, Jun Chen, Lu Liu, and the others. "It seems that the Shenhun Sect is going to support President Li."
Whoosh!
Yu Yuan summoned the Dragonslaying Platform from his Shen Que Meridian and immersed himself in it.
He instantly saw the spatial teleportation array floating in the Chamber of Commerce and President Li, Jun Chen, Lu Liu, Zhongli Da, and the others on it.
He also saw that the strange statue refined by the Sword Prison had suddenly disappeared without a trace.
In its early years in the Great Lake of the Desolate God, the statue had unleashed its evil side and killed countless evil overlords.
After it fell into the Forbidden Land of the Fallen Moon, it led to continuous wars between the empires of the Qian Xuan Continent and the annihilation of countless beings.
He remembered that in the depths of the lake, he had borrowed the power of the statue for a short period of time to kill everyone.
Others only thought that he had been possessed by the statue.
Only he knew that the terrifying statue was actually under his control. Not only did it not erase his intelligence, but it also took him as its master.
"That statue just disappeared from the Chamber of Commerce," he said casually.
"Oh, it's a part of Lord Void." Jiang Miaojie smiled. "You can see all the evil and good imprints in it as Lord Void. The statue's arrival means that Lord Void and the Shenhun Sect do value President Li very much. It's a kind of respect. "
Yu Yuan immediately understood.
So this thing belonged to the Great Void, and the last Great Void Divine King had become a god because of him in his first life, so the Great Void would always be on his side.
In the Great Lake, the statue knew who he was. When he left the Thousand Bird Realm, he met the statue again.
It was the current Void Divine King, the former Great Void, who had taken the initiative to show him goodwill.
It had been the same not long ago.
"Senior Tian Cang, shouldn't you go to the Chamber of Commerce or the Forbidden Land of the Fallen Moon after you escaped from the Land of Terror?" Jiang Miaojie asked with a smile at the corner of her mouth, but her ethereal eyes were filled with confusion. "What are you doing in the Colorful Clouds Miasma Sea? There shouldn't be anything here that you need to pay attention to. "
"Hahaha, it's just that I haven't seen Yu Yuan for a long time, so I came to see him."
Tian Cang chuckled and shot a casual glance at Yu Yuan.
He was well-aware that his current identity was very sensitive because he had become a ghoul king in the Land of Terror.
Now that You Yu had awakened and become dissatisfied with the Shenhun Sect, he would be suspected wherever he went.
If a conflict broke out between You Yu and the Shenhun Sect, he would be the first to suffer.
The only person he could think of who could help him now was Yu Yuan...
Through Taishi, Tian Cang had learned that the real Yu Yuan was closer to You Yu than Yu Yuan was to Taishi most of the time.
The only person You Yu would be willing to give face to and give him a way out would be Yu Yuan.
The upheaval in the Land of Terror, why You Yu had helped Yu Yuan, and why he had asked Yu Yuan to inform the Shenhun Sect, and so on.
Tian Cang, however, knew everything.
He knew that Yu Yuan and You Yu must have had a heart-to-heart talk, because the two of them had been the best comrade-in-arms since ancient times.
"Also, that man asked me to pass a message to you."
Tian Cang looked at the Devil's Palace and pondered for a moment before saying to Yu Yuan, "He said that he already has a candidate in mind. He wants you to support him after the new godhood is born. "
Yu Yuan went blank. "He wants me to support Cao Yi?"
Tian Cang spread his hands and said, "He didn't say who he had in mind."
