My monster derivative skills are the orthodox ones

Chapter 397 Soldiers against soldiers, kings against kings

Wang Lingguan was startled and suddenly understood Li Ye's purpose.

He subconsciously looked up at the sky.

saint.

Only a saint could silently teleport a great god like Erebus to their side.

Is there a sage watching over them all along?

who is it?

Why did he send Erebus over?
Wang Lingguan's heart suddenly started racing.

When the Demon-Suppressing Tower suddenly released demonic energy, he guessed that something was wrong with this world, but he never expected to end up getting himself caught in the vortex.

He glanced at Li Ye silently and sighed inwardly, "I should have thought of this sooner."

Despite his reckless behavior, this disciple achieved the cultivation level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal in just a few decades and even survived the Saint Tribulation.

Without anyone protecting them, how could they have gotten to this point?
But what exactly do they want to do, and what role does Li Ye play in it?
Wang Lingguan frowned deeply, wanting to discuss it with Li Ye, but unsure how to begin.

The thought that his every word and action was being watched by the sage made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

He had been avoiding mentioning the sage's name all along!

Looking back now, it's really laughable!

……

Ugh!
Li Ye sighed inwardly. If he had known it would be like this, he would have been unable to escape being monitored in the end!

but.

Li Ye was not as pessimistic as Wang Lingguan.

After all, the person behind the scenes only sent Erebus, not Gaia and Nyx, which was already quite generous of him.

Nyx is Erebus's sister, the goddess of night, and an existence on par with Gaia, the earth mother goddess.

In Greek mythology, night is the origin of the universe, and Gaia is the mother of the gods. Even if she is not a saint, she is at least a quasi-saint.

Those two guys are simply beyond his current capabilities to handle...

Even Erebus was immune to most of his domains.

and so.

The saint sent Erebus over so that he could practice and gain experience.

Or should we give him a warning?
Regardless, the people behind the scenes probably don't have much ill will towards him at this stage, but who knows what they might do in the future.

Li Ye always assumes the worst about others.

He knew perfectly well that those lofty saints never took the universe seriously.

He didn't believe he was so likable that everyone would like him; the fact that a sage paid attention to him only meant that he possessed something about him that interested the sage...

The only difference between him and other time travelers is his strange domains!
……

"...What do you think? I can persuade Nyx and Gaia to give up their hatred for you." Erebus tried to persuade Li Ye, "Zeus banished his father, and Gaia is actually very dissatisfied with him."

"Legend has it that Gaia led giants to attack Mount Olympus, but was defeated by Zeus and his brothers. Is this true?" Li Ye asked.

"Where did you hear this rumor?" Erebus asked in surprise. "Gaia stopped interfering in the affairs of the gods tens of thousands of years ago." "What do you mean?" Li Ye pressed.

"..." Erebus was silent for a moment. "It doesn't mean anything. In fact, many ancient gods of Olympus gradually moved away from the center of power and lived in seclusion."

"Why didn't you step forward to help Zeus during the catastrophe ten thousand years ago?" Li Ye asked again.

“If I told you, would you let me go?” Erebus retorted.

“No,” Li Ye said, “but I will make your childbirth less painful until I find my next plaything. Of course, if you swear allegiance to me, I can take you under my command…”

“Impossible! I am one of the oldest gods, how could I possibly be your subordinate?” Erebus said. “That would be an insult to me…”

“Erebus, you have no better choice,” Li Ye said. “Besides, I’m more interested in creating a new race to become saints than in knowing the truth of ten thousand years ago.”

"Once I become a saint, I will be able to see the past timeline, and I will know everything clearly, so I won't need to ask you anymore."

“Simply creating life cannot make one a saint,” Erebus said. “Gaia once tried to imitate Nuwa, but she failed. The method of becoming a saint cannot be imitated.”

"So, Gaia is also trying to become a saint?" Li Ye asked with a smile.

“Of course,” Erebus said. “There’s no need to hide it. Your Eastern sages hold the secrets of the universe and possess the power to subdue all gods. Every race’s ultimate god aspires to become a sage.”

It's not just Gaia who's doing this; Ymir, Ra, Brahma, Atum… many people aspire to become saints.

"So, you've gone into seclusion to find a way to become a saint?" Li Ye continued to ask.

“Perhaps so!” Erebus said. “It’s just a pity that no one has succeeded. The evil Easterners have blocked the path to sainthood for others.”

"What were you doing ten thousand years ago?" Li Ye returned to the question he had just asked. Zeus and the others were trapped in the Mountain and River Map for ten thousand years until they were all wiped out. It was very abnormal that none of these ancient gods appeared.

Over a period of ten thousand years, if even one deity were to visit Mount Olympus, the "Map of Mountains and Rivers" would never have succeeded.

The severed spacetime nodes cannot stop these deities from traveling through the universe...

“Ten thousand years ago, I was fighting the Cthulhu God. Those strange and powerful beings severely injured me. It wasn’t until recently that I recovered from my injuries and sensed the curse of Mount Olympus,” Erebus said.

"Where's Nyx?" Li Ye asked.

“I don’t know,” Erebus said. “We were scattered, and I haven’t seen her for ten thousand years.” His tone was somewhat dejected. “The Old Gods of Cthulhu are very powerful. Even if we are immortal, we will be corrupted by their evil consciousness, lose our minds, and become their kind or their servants.”

Muzha and Li Jing encountered a crazed Nezha, while Nyx and Erebus encountered the crazed Cthulhu gods...

Soldiers against soldiers, kings against kings, that led to the catastrophe. Was there no time for anyone to react?

Who is behind all of this?
Is the Cthulhu mythos a demonic entity?
What is the true origin of demonic energy?
Li Ye's mind was filled with doubt once again.

“…I have already told you the truth from ten thousand years ago. Now, can you let me go?” Erebus cautiously negotiated with Li Ye. “Even if you use me to create a new race, you will not become a saint. It will only waste a lot of your time.”

“Erebus, your heart is filled with hatred for me. Once I release you, I fear you will immediately attack me,” Li Ye said. “I am not confident that I can subdue you a second time.”

“No, I swear on my divine status,” Erebus said, “I will never lay a hand on you again.”

“Let’s have a fair fight!” Li Ye said, looking into the endless darkness. “If you beat me, I’ll let you go…”

The Star Lord of Longevity twitched between his brows and sighed inwardly, but dared not remind Erebus.

Rushing to remind Erebus would not only fail to save him, but would also plunge him into a deeper predicament.

Besides, he wasn't familiar with Erebus...

Deep down, the Star Lord of Longevity even harbored a certain longing and anticipation for Li Ye's scheme against Erebus...
