Infinity, starting from eternity

Chapter 589 Becoming a God in the Mortal Realm? Ye Wudao's Deal with Yang Qi!
"this is a good chance."

Li Ping'an revealed a smile identical to Ao Tian's. Ye Wudao, this pawn, had been set up for so long, and finally, the time had come for it to be useful.

As soon as he had a thought, all the events that occurred in the three timelines came into view.

Unlike the confrontation between the three major ancient factions, the Immortal Era appeared somewhat cowardly, unwilling to confront the enemy head-on, and instead continued to retreat deeper into the Ancient Road to Divinity, gathering numerous sects and forces along the way to face the Hellish Catastrophe together.

In the future world, the riots in the Hengsha Hell plane were much less dangerous, and did not even attract the attention of the ten leaders, giving the army a chance to bleed.

"To exterminate humanity and reshape the world, we have a long way to go," Li Ping'an said with a slight sigh.

The shepherd was puzzled. "Extinction of humans doesn't do much good for hell, so why do it?"

It would be far more unnecessary to simply announce the birth of the true demon's successor.

Li Ping'an chuckled, "Shepherd, although you have been the number one expert in the Holy Hell for so long, your understanding of Hell is actually not as deep as mine. There is a reason for this."

"Oh?" The shepherd raised an eyebrow slightly. "I'd like to hear more."

"This Hengsha Hell plane was created by true demons, but do you know what it was made of?" Li Ping'an stood deep within the Hell camp, in the center of a vast army of demons, and asked a question with a leisurely expression.

"What else could it be? The Supreme True Demon is all-powerful, so it's not surprising that it was forged into this form. In the past, Hell was a force that could rival Heaven."

The shepherd initially didn't think much of it, but then his expression gradually changed; he really didn't know about it.

The demons of the ancient hell have long since passed away, those that were suppressed have been suppressed, and even if there are evil gods like Brahma who have fallen from the divine realm, they have long since lost their divinity, divine status, and divine power, and have to start all over again. Their strength is not even as great as his, and even their memories are incomplete.

"You mean the supreme legend of hell, the evil aura?" The shepherd recalled, finally guessing that it was recorded in a very ancient magic book.

"Yes."

Li Ping'an nodded, "Legend has it that when the God Realm was born, there were two currents of energy: the first was the energy of justice, and the second was the energy of evil!"

"The two streams of energy are of immense power. The energy of justice transformed into the Lord of Justice, while the energy of evil was absorbed by the Supreme True Demon and forged into a part of Hell."

The identity of the Lord of Justice remains a great mystery. The world only knows that he was born with the righteous spirit of the divine realm and is one of the founders of Confucianism, but they do not know his true identity: the little white elephant, the offspring of the King of Divine Elephants.
However, the Lord of Justice does not belong to the Heavenly faction. Although the ancient Heaven, the supreme ruler, is bright and great, it does not represent justice, but rather power.

There's no need to explain these things to the shepherd.

Li Ping'an spoke up, "The world is in flux with yin and yang, with two opposing poles. The hell, forged from the supreme evil energy of the divine realm, is of an inconceivable nature, containing boundless power. It should never be like this."

"Heaven has passed away, hell has fallen, and that is history."

"But it's not impossible to reshape Hell. As long as the essence of evil is unleashed, Hell can be restored to the era of the gods in an instant. Even if it's not as powerful as it was at its peak, it might still help us become gods!"

"Supreme Evil God!"

Or you could say the Great Old Ones, Outer Gods, Hellish Demons, etc.

"Not to become a god in the realm of gods, but in the mortal world?!" The shepherd was utterly shocked. He never expected Li Ping'an to have such grand ambitions. If word got out, it would cause an upheaval and shock everyone.

The guardian of that ancient road probably can't even sleep well, and couldn't possibly imagine that anyone would come up with such an idea.

Since ancient times, immortal gods can only be born in the realm of gods, but Li Ping'an insists on becoming a god in the mortal world by relying on the origin of hell.

The shepherd trembled uncontrollably at the mere thought of it.

"Is such a thing possible?" His mind raced, a million trillion thoughts flashing through his mind in an instant, as he deduced the possibilities from the perspective of the spokesperson for the sages and hell.

"Perhaps it is indeed possible that as long as Hell is reshaped and the supreme evil origin is activated... that power will surpass even the supreme god, or even the chief god, and will be a part of the Yin and Yang duality of the divine realm!"

"Only if it succeeds!" The shepherd's expression changed. He once thought he knew enough about Hell, having traveled through every plane of Hell for trillions of years, shepherding all living beings.

But now it seems that we have not yet figured out the truth about hell, and Li Ping'an has devised this method on his first encounter with it.

"Nothing is impossible. Taking a gamble is always better than facing calamity upon entering the God Realm." Li Ping'an stood calmly with his hands behind his back. "The God Realm is evolving, as you've guessed. Do you really think you can become a god just by ascending to the God Realm?"

"On the path to godhood, a slight misstep can lead to one's demise. And even after becoming a god, there are different ranks: lower gods, middle gods, upper gods, perfect gods, great perfect gods, supreme gods... and legendary supreme beings such as the chief god who rules over true demons!"

"You're content to become a lowly, insignificant god once you enter the realm of gods?"

The shepherd's expression was resolute. "Of course not! I am a devil, greedy by nature!"

“Yes.” Li Ping’an chuckled. “Instead of slowly working hard and struggling step by step after reaching the God Realm, why not take a gamble and become a god in the mortal world? We can still live an eternal and immortal life, and we might even be able to go further.”

"To stand shoulder to shoulder with the supreme demons and usher in a new era!"

The shepherd remained silent for a long time. He felt that Li Ping'an was more like a devil than he was at this moment, whispering devilish words and tempting him.

If one can become a god in the mortal realm, why bother going to the far reaches of the divine realm?

Just like in the mortal world, some people become immortals, but even after breaking through four or five realms, they are reluctant to ascend, preferring to be the head of a chicken rather than the tail of a phoenix!

"Hell alone may not be enough."

Li Ping'an said calmly, "If we have the Myriad Realms King Map, the inheritance of the Immortal Slaughtering King, or even more supreme beings and the inheritance of gods, we have a real chance to create a small divine realm in the mortal world and achieve immortality."

The weak adapt to the environment, the strong change the environment.

Although Li Ping'an had not set foot in the God Realm, he could still deduce some things about it. There were countless powerful figures, empires, and supreme gods of the first rank, such as Immortal Kings. Even the many sixteen-star powerhouses and giants in the Main God Space—could it be that they hadn't been involved?

What is the purpose of his avatar ascending to the realm of gods and painstakingly building a foundation for himself?

Li Ping'an was quite confident that he could unleash the supreme evil of Hell and help the mortal realm ascend to a higher level. He had many insights into the divine realm, the ancient chaos, and the mortal realm in the ancient chaotic world.

If successful, this would be a great achievement, making him the new Father of the Gods, a feat comparable to that of the True Demon Lord.

'And there are large tombs!'

Li Ping'an murmured to himself, still feeling lingering fear at the power of the Great Tomb. If it weren't for the incredible power of the Great Destiny Technique, he would have long since turned into a stone statue, drifting forever in the Ancient Chaos Realm, becoming a burial object.

If he could steal even a tiny bit of the great tomb's power, he could very well accomplish the task of accessing the three thousand realms of immortals and the numerous divine legacies it spewed forth. He was thirty percent certain of success.

That's already quite good; even if we fail, it will be a huge gain.

"Beyond the Map of Myriad Realms, I've heard that deep within the Ancient Road to Divinity, there's another force that has obtained the Genesis Codex created by the Lord of Light!" The shepherd had already taken the bait, and his gaze shifted slightly.

"The Genesis Codex was created by the Lord of Light and all the gods in an attempt to break free from the control of the gods' marks and to rival the Myriad Realms King Map created by the Seventy-Two Ancestral Kings. Even if it did not succeed, it would still have a significant effect."

The word "creation" needs no further explanation!

The Lord of Light is considered one of the most powerful gods. He brought light to Heaven. Such a powerful being would not make a name for himself without reason.

If the Book of Genesis could be merged with the supreme evil source of Hell, would something different happen?

The shepherd felt that there was some kind of guidance in the universe, urging them to do this.

"The opportunities lie not only in those divine artifacts and inheritances, but also in the three major timelines of the Primordial Era, the Middle Ages, and the Future, which serve as a foundation. The spread of the Hell Catastrophe has three potential purposes: first, to infiltrate the three Heavenly Daos; second, to obtain great fortune and enhance strength; and third, to revitalize the evil energy and prepare for the creation of the future."

Li Ping'an's schemes were meticulously planned, including arrangements for the Holy King Party. Every world must have a theme, such as the gods representing the divine realm, the demons of hell, the mortal world, and the carefree life of the immortal realm.

When a secular status is elevated to the point where it can accommodate a deity, it will inevitably have a new name.

These are things the shepherd could not know. He could only think about them, but he could not completely trust Li Ping'an. His first thought was still to defeat the Ancient Road Guardians and others, and to make preparations for both possibilities.

However, he was willing to obey Li Ping'an's orders, and Li Ping'an then had him impersonate him and take charge of the Hell faction.

Unless it's a life-or-death battle, it won't be easy for Mo and Aotian to discover that the Shepherd is disguised as a true demon with an indestructible body, since he is the true number one person in Hell.

After giving his instructions, Li Ping'an quietly transformed into a shadow and entered the Myriad Realms King Map.

"Damn it! Damn it!"

Ye Wudao's face was extremely cold. That fool Emperor Huo Liaotian actually sent him as an envoy to the Primordial Era.

Now that he has arrived in the Primordial Era, there are also continuous battles. If he hadn't been alerted and hadn't been protected by the Heavenly Gate, he could have returned to the Myriad Realms King Map at any time. He might have been killed the moment he entered the Primordial Era.

That terrifying battle, with the True Demon Successor and the two possessors of the Mark of the Gods, their strength was beyond his comprehension.

"The Heart of God possesses boundless power. Once you refine the Heart of Brahma, you too may have a chance to ascend to the heavens in one step. However, my brothers and sisters, the Thirty-Three Heavens Creation Artifacts have not yet been assembled, and we cannot refine them immediately. We can only proceed slowly." The voice of the Supreme Heaven Gate rang out.

"I know that without the Zhou Tian Yi, the Wu Tian San, and the Tun Tian Ding, the full power of the Creation Artifacts cannot be unleashed!"

"But I already know their origins. They are controlled by Tai Longtian of the Eight Heavens. He also possesses the Eight Heavens Pagoda, a supreme artifact of the Dragon Clan! Legend has it that it came from a mysterious supreme god, the Primordial Ancestral Dragon!" Ye Wudao took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart.

Nothing goes right. Even though he is the creator, the successor of the Creation Immortal King and the Immortal Slayer King, he cannot control the overall situation.

The Emperor of Blazing Wrath repeatedly mentioned the Thirty-Three Heavens Creation Artifact in his possession, even suggesting that it might contain a grand conspiracy and that it would be best to hand it over to him. Ye Wudao sneered repeatedly.

What harm could a divine artifact pose to a creator like him?

Ye Wudao's mind was clearly more inclined to believe that the Creation Artifact was harmless, which was to be expected. With the help of the Creation Artifact, his cultivation level improved every day, and ordinary Immortal Emperors were no match for him.

Yang Qi's incarnation, Tai Longtian, is the same, wielding the Eight-Part Pagoda and possessing three divine artifacts: the Zhou Tian Yi, the Wu Tian Umbrella, and the Tun Tian Ding.

It can be said that within the Immortal Alliance, the two were unparalleled in prestige, and their names as the Left and Right Envoys resounded throughout the world.

Ye Wudao was now constantly scheming about how to obtain the Zhou Tianyi, Wutian Umbrella, and Tuntian Cauldron from Yang Qi. If he could also get his hands on the Eight-Part Pagoda, that would be even better.

The other party also controls thousands of Devouring King Talismans, which can be used to evolve into chaotic dragons and serpents, making his Devourers extremely envious.

Ultimately, he set his sights on the Myriad Realms King Map. He possessed three Immortal Execution King Tokens, which were quite useful. The others seemed to be in the hands of Aotian, the future world leader, but killing him through assassination would not be difficult at present.

He happened to have 666 Devouring King Talismans, which he could use as bait.

Just as Ye Wudao was calculating, the Resentful One teleported in, looking excited, "Big Brother, good news!"

"What? You're saying Tai Longtian wants to exchange magic treasures with me? Six hundred and sixty-six Devouring Heaven King Talismans for the Zhou Tian Yi, Wu Tian Umbrella, and Devouring Heaven Cauldron?" Ye Wudao was dumbfounded when he received this news.

He wanted to plot to kill Tai Longtian, who was actually Yang Qi in disguise, but he didn't expect Yang Qi to be so honest and want to make a deal with him!
Ye Wudao was skeptical. "Could he be plotting something in secret?"

Judging by his own experience, he would never do such a thing; he would rather kill the other party and plunder all their treasures.

“I think Tai Longtian may have felt the pressure as well. That bastard Nu Huo Liaotian is not worthy of being the leader of the alliance. He has been secretly exploiting both of us. Tai Longtian probably knows that if we continue to fight, neither side will benefit, so he has decided to back down.” The Resentful One analyzed calmly.

"Taking a step back opens up a vast expanse of sky and sea!"

"The Immortal King befriended the Seventy-Two Ancestral Kings, and similar things happened there. He had the magnanimity to tolerate his brothers' unruliness. Even the Creation Immortal King hid himself away, unknown to others, all in order to fight against Heaven and Hell. We should emulate him."

The resentful man tried to persuade him earnestly. Although he was physically prone to resentment and bitterness, he himself remained quite calm.

Of course, a large part of this came from Li Ping'an's guidance. Having received the inheritance of the Creation Immortal King, the Seventy-Two Young Masters practiced a lot, and countless ancient characters entered their bodies, allowing their destinies to be written at will.

"The Chaos Ancient Serpent! The Devouring King! The Eight-Part Pagoda! The Primordial Ancestral Dragon! It is not impossible that Tai Longtian values ​​the Devouring King Talisman more than the Zhou Tian Yi, the Wu Tian Umbrella, and the Devouring Cauldron, in order to evolve the Chaos Dragon and Serpent technique."

Ye Wudao pondered. He valued the Three Treasures, but others might not. He also couldn't say that the power and value of the Three Treasures were greater than the Devouring Heaven King Talisman.

"This deal is on!"

He made a decisive decision, displaying the will of an unparalleled genius and overlord: "Since he is so sensible, when I unify the three great time-spaces in the future, dominate the Ancient Path to Godhood, and restore the Immortal Path, it is not impossible for me to spare Tai Longtian's life."

Soon, the two completed the transaction outside the Myriad Realms King Map.

Both sides were quite satisfied with the exchange of 666 Devouring Heaven King Talismans for the three great treasures of creation: the Zhou Tian Yi, the Wu Tian Umbrella, and the Devouring Heaven Cauldron.

As Yang Qi watched Ye Wudao's disappearing figure, he was also amazed. "Senior Brother Li is indeed a celestial being, a reincarnation of an ancient god from the chaos. I'm afraid no one would have imagined that the artifact of creation was actually made by him."

"Ye Wudao is probably doomed now."
