The heavens began from a small hell

"Have you noticed anything unusual about the Soul River?"

Hu Sheng naturally knew about the Soul River, which was a powerful force outside of the heavens and all worlds and a system of strange matter.

It is said that all spirits will eventually come to an end, and the River of Souls is the destination of all things.

With the ability of the Immortal King, it is not surprising that he noticed the recent situation of the Soul River. After all, after knowing that there is such a force in the world, he would naturally think of the Soul River when seeing similar traces.

For the Immortal King who can easily travel back in time, it is difficult for anything in the heavens and myriad worlds to be hidden from them for a long time.

After a moment, Hu Sheng, considering the chaos in the future, said: "I will give you a choice. Join my imperial court and become one of the five great gods. With the great power of the master, you can naturally achieve the ultimate position."

Although the 'Road to the Gods' in the dream world has selected many talents since its existence, these talents have also shaped their divine bodies and possessed divine positions in the List of Gods.

But there is not a single one who can pass the top assessment to become a God Lord. Hu Sheng took the backdoor, so naturally it doesn’t count.

The reason why he recruited Gu Qing at this moment was, firstly, that Hu Sheng had the power in this area, and secondly, that he was impressed by Gu Qing's ability.

Being able to become a giant among the Immortal Kings by his own efforts, his talent and understanding are naturally beyond doubt. He can travel among the realms and decide with the Immortal Kings who will take the throne of the Heavenly Emperor...

Although there was the influence of the Soul River's abnormal movement, it also showed that Gu Qing had good communication skills.

Just based on these two points, Gu Qing is qualified to be recruited. It is a question whether the genius and evildoer who is praised as a genius in this mortal world can become a universe-level creature or an ultimate evolver in the future, let alone become an immortal king.

Moreover, even if one really has the potential to become an Immortal King, how long would it take to reach this level from a mortal world?

Ten thousand years? One hundred thousand years? One million years?

How can it compare to recruiting Gu Qing?

Although the cultivation environment in the underworld is excellent and can be described as a dream within a dream, the number of people is still a problem. If the population is not large enough, it will be difficult to produce people who can pass the assessment of the God Lord.

"Enter the Imperial Court and become a Divine Master..."

Gu Qing, shocked, hesitated.

Not to mention that becoming the Lord of the Imperial Court can achieve the ultimate position, what shocked him the most was the master mentioned by Hu Sheng.

Asking an ultimate evolver to call himself the master is probably impossible for even the strongest ultimate evolver to do so. So the answer is obvious.

The supreme being, a creature at the end of the road, a great being comparable to the Immortal Emperor.

The underworld and the imperial court are actually related to such an existence?
The Chief Chancellor before him was able to achieve the ultimate goal, most likely with the help of the great power of the Lord of the Imperial Court.

No wonder, no wonder he always felt a sense of incongruity when he met the other party before. He instinctively thought that this was caused by the different path of the ultimate evolver. Now he thinks it may be because he has not perfectly restrained his own intentions.

The ultimate achievement made with the help of external forces, the performance just after the breakthrough is probably not as good as the ultimate achievement made by one's own strength.

This is almost common sense in cultivation and evolution, and it takes time to settle and become familiar with one's power.

After thinking a lot in a short moment and weighing the pros and cons, Gu Qing bowed his head and said, "Gu Qing thanks the Senior President for his appreciation. I am willing to follow the Lord together with the Senior President."

Borrowing the power of others to achieve the ultimate goal will inevitably have the same hidden dangers as using the Three Emperors' Artifacts and the position of the Emperor of Heaven to achieve enlightenment. However, Gu Qing had already been mentally prepared, so it was not difficult for him to make a choice.

Another point is...

An Ultimate Evolver has actively tried to win him over, promising him the Ultimate Position and revealing the existence of a "master". What if he refuses without knowing what's good for him...

Can you survive?
Gu Qing, who has lived for tens of millions of years, is not very afraid of death, but he does not want to die in such a miserable way.

Since he approached Qingzhou out of curiosity, everything that happened next was out of his control. The weak in front of the strong did not even have the right to choose how they died. The Ultimate Evolver was known as the Godless One, and the horror of his methods was really beyond the imagination of the Immortal King.

"Well, that's very timely."

After Hu Sheng nodded slightly, she and Gu Qing came to the Road to Deification in the dream world together.

"Although the position of the Lord God has been determined, the process still needs to be followed again, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to the Lord."

"You go now..."

Hu Sheng talked about the God Lord's test on the Road to Becoming a God. Gu Qing, who was shocked that he could not tell the reality of the dream world at all, nodded and stopped trying to understand the methods of the supreme beings.

Soon, Gu Qing embarked on the road to becoming a god and entered the assessment map in an instant.

He appeared in the turbulent and surging sea, his body filled with a power far exceeding that of the Immortal King, which seemed to be able to reopen the heavens and all worlds.

“Is this the ultimate?”

When Gu Qing was moved, he noticed the waves around him.

"The World Sea has become so violent that the Immortal King has to avoid its edge occasionally. It seems to be very similar to the era long ago."

"At that time, the Immortal King lived in the Mother Realm for a long time, and rarely set foot in the World Sea and traveled around the various realms as casually as in this world."

Just as Gu Qing was recalling the few words he had seen in the past, his assessment target this time also appeared.

They are three ultimate evolvers who have come into contact with strange substances!
Gu Qing could see that these three people did not achieve the ultimate position with the help of strange substances, but they came into contact with strange substances in order to go further after becoming ultimate evolvers.

This is...Taozu!
"They are actually three Dao ancestors who have one foot in the darkness and weirdness. This difficulty is really..."

Just as Gu Qing was on guard, he saw one of the Dark Dao Ancestors spread his wings that were gray with a hint of black, and feather arrows that could destroy the universe and even shake the basic order of the heavens and all worlds shot towards him, passing through the barriers of time and space and arriving in front of him the moment they were launched.

At this moment, the other two Dark Dao Ancestors also attacked together, each using their killing moves to attack Gu Qing.

A moment later, Gu Qing exploded with a roar, and blood, flesh and broken bones flew everywhere in the nearby sea.

A giant Immortal King who had just obtained the power of the Ultimate Evolver was killed by the three Dark Dao Ancestors before he had time to familiarize himself with the power.

In a flash, the assessment map was reset, and Gu Qing came back to his senses from his trance and saw the three Dark Dao Ancestors again.

Fight, die in battle, resurrect...

After repeating this cycle, Gu Qing gradually became familiar with the body of the ultimate evolver used in the assessment map. He gradually grew from being able to last less than a quarter of an hour.

After countless resurrections, Gu Qing was able to injure the three dark Taoist ancestors while protecting himself.

Ten thousand years after a new assessment began, Gu Qing, whose body had become emaciated due to the draining of his essence and blood, suddenly noticed that everything outside had stopped.

It's not about time stopping or space solidifying, but some kind of strange power that even the ultimate evolvers cannot fathom.

The three Dark Dao Ancestors who had fought with him for ten thousand years also lost all their emotions at this moment. They stood indifferently in the ruins after the collapse of the boundary sea and said, "Examiner Gu Qing, congratulations on passing the first stage of the assessment of 'The Road to Conferred God: God Lord'."

"Next..."
