My monster derivative skills are the orthodox ones

Chapter 401 Binary Data Lookup
Yuanshi Tianzun watched with great interest as Li Ye tormented Erebus.

It has to be said that this little guy, Li Ye, always manages to bring him surprises.

When Li Ye's question involved him, Yuanshi Tianzun paused for a moment, intending to interfere with the timeline of fate and obscure the answer to the question.

But he stopped just before he was about to make his move.

To be honest, he was also curious about the answer to the question.

He had been watching Li Ye for a long time, but Li Ye, who had grown up right under his nose, was now so strong that even he couldn't see the young man's true strength anymore.

……

You win.

The answer came to Li Ye's mind: he harvested a skill from Erebus called Divinity of Light.

It was rather strange to Li Ye that a god of darkness would possess light-related skills.

But since Erebus and the goddess of night gave birth to the goddess of day, it's normal for him to awaken light-related skills.

Extremes beget their opposites; the darkest of times will inevitably give birth to light.

“Your strength is clearly inferior to mine, so why do you have a higher chance of winning against a saint than I do?” Erebus asked.

Having accepted his fate, he had grown accustomed to his skills being gradually taken away, and then turned his curiosity to the competition questions raised by Li Ye.

“Strength does not equate to combat power.” Li Ye gave a simple answer: “An adult’s strength is definitely higher than that of a ten-year-old child, but if the child knows how to use traps, other tools, or launch a sneak attack, the adult may not necessarily win.”

My chances of winning are higher than yours, probably because I'm smarter than you!

Erebus, you've been in a high position for too long, you've probably forgotten how to use your brain to deal with enemies!
Of course, it's also possible that you never need to use your brain when fighting others...

Erebus fell silent, because Li Ye was right. Many of his abilities were innate, and his divine power was increasing day by day. When fighting against others, he really didn't need to use his brain.

If it weren't for this incident, when he wanted to find out what happened on Mount Olympus and immediately attacked Li Ye, he wouldn't have ended up in such a vulnerable position.

“Erebus, let’s have a contest where the two of us simultaneously fight against the current state of Laozi. Who has a higher chance of winning?” Li Ye looked at the silent Erebus and proposed a new round of competition.

Whether you have one sheep or two, you're still herding them.

Isn't it said that mentioning the name of a saint will bring about a spiritual response?
He had already offended the Primordial Celestial Venerable, so he might as well involve the remaining saints in this matter as well.

Who cares whether they have anything to do with me!

The more saints pay attention to him, the greater his chances of survival will be, since the interests of saints are not aligned.

Perhaps some people want to harm me, some want to protect me, and some want to take advantage of me...

Regardless of their purpose?
As long as they hold each other back, they have enough time to grow.

All Li Ye has ever needed is time. His match with Erebus just now has proven that as long as he works hard to improve himself and overcomes the tribulation of becoming a saint, he will become a new saint sooner or later.

He needs enough time.

Once he becomes a saint, he is qualified to sit at the chessboard instead of being treated as a chess piece.

……

"If the two of us were to fight the Tongtian Sect Leader at the same time, who would have a higher chance of winning?"

"We're fighting against Nuwa simultaneously..."

One saint after another was dragged into Li Ye's schemes, becoming the reference points for their competitions within the derivative techniques of fair trade.

Without exception, Li Ye won every single time.

The Star Lord of Longevity and the others had become numb. They would unconsciously look up at the sky, as if waiting for the divine might to descend from heaven at any moment, but in the end, nothing came...

After asking around, Li Ye changed the way he asked the questions.

“Erebus, you fight against the Primordial Celestial Venerable, and I fight against the Supreme Lord Laozi. If you lose, who will finish in the shortest time?”

That's right.

After Li Ye provoked the sage.

They've started subtly probing again about measuring the strength between sages through fair trade. Watching Li Ye's reckless actions, Lord Yanshou and the others were already numb to it all.

Wang Lingguan, who was keeping his distance, didn't really want to pay attention to his good disciple, but he couldn't help but keep an eye on him and listen to his increasingly outrageous questions.

Wang Lingguan wanted to stop him, but he suppressed the urge and let Li Ye do as he pleased.

Even saints don't care.

Why should he meddle in other people's business?
Provoking someone once is not much different from provoking them ten times...

If they wanted to kill Li Ye, they would have done it long ago; there would be no need to wait until now...

then.

Li Ye used binary code to forcefully rank the strength of the saints.

As expected, Laozi remains first, and Nuwa last, just like the ranking in Earth's mythology.

After ranking the saints, Li Ye began comparing his win rate against Gaia, Nyx, the Jade Emperor, and others, as if he intended to challenge every master in the world...

at last.

After gathering experts from all over the world, Li Ye accurately assessed his own strength, estimating it to be roughly at the level of the Longevity Emperor.

of course.

It's also possible that he's slightly higher than the Immortal Emperor.

Having completed the rankings, Li Ye fully absorbed all of Erebus's divine skills, replacing Erebus and becoming the new God of Darkness.

He not only possessed the Dark Realm, but also the management of the Underworld Passage, the legendary passage connecting the living world and the underworld, the first place the dead pass through.

Hermes' Void Feet can traverse between the world of the living and the world of the dead, which can only be considered as smuggling. Erebus, on the other hand, is the legitimate manager who maintains the passage between the two worlds, and he can freely travel between the human world and the underworld.

Moreover, through the underworld passage, he can move quickly without needing spatial nodes, appearing anywhere in the universe.

However, in the battle against the evil god Cthulhu, even the Underworld was destroyed, and Erebus's territory was torn apart. For the past ten thousand years, he has been dedicated to repairing the Dark Dimension...

If the Dark Space hadn't shattered, he wouldn't have needed the Primordial Celestial Venerable to open a back door for him to come to Li Ye; he could have crossed over in one step through the Dark Space.

Now, this skill belongs to Li Ye.

He finally possessed his own ultra-long-range spatial technique, but unfortunately, the space he relied on was still fragmented...

……

Erebus, stripped of all his skills, did not die, but looked much weaker and remained a dark mass.

“You’ve taken all my skills, can you let me leave now?” Erebus asked. “After all, I’m of no use to you anymore.”

“No, you can also be used as bait to lure more Olympian gods over.” Li Ye released his grip on Erebus, no longer worried that Erebus would escape. “Besides, Erebus, even the Pangu Axe has evolved new abilities. Don’t you want to make some changes?”

Your current situation is essentially like being stuffed into the Demon Suppression Tower and having your stats reset. I only took away your divine skill, but you still possess immense dark divine power. Your appearance is very suitable for farming derivative skills. Giving you a demonic artifact might allow you to forge a different path.

"To become the new God of Darkness, as far as I know, Nyx's power has always surpassed yours. Don't you want to surpass her?"

“Darkness is born from night, and I can never surpass her,” Erebus said.

"Who said that? If Nyx meets me, I'll strip her of all her skills too." Li Ye looked at Erebus and laughed. "And you, you arrived at my side even earlier than her. As long as you get off to a start, by the time she's stripped of all her skills and tries to catch up with you, it will be too late."

Erebus, are you really willing to be suppressed by her forever? If the two of us join forces, we can rebuild the Olympian gods..."

"No..." Erebus cried out in terror, "Don't make me have any more children!"

“You can have some children as you like.” Li Ye smiled and brought over the children born from the corpses of Zeus and the others, as well as the children born from the heavenly soldiers and others.

More than a decade has passed, and those children have grown up. They look like a hybrid of gods like Zeus and Easterners, and each of them exudes a powerful divine force.

When these deities saw Li Ye, they respectfully bowed and said, "Godfather."

Li Ye nodded to them and said, "Erebus, do you see these little guys? They inherited Zeus's divine power, but they don't have his consciousness. They don't want Zeus's consciousness to awaken in their minds. They just want to be themselves. I will help them solve this problem in the future."

What a promising group of gods these are! Erebus, don't you want to be their mentor and guide them? Why is Gaia, and not you, the most powerful god in your race?
With the gods fallen and all things in ruins, demonic energy has re-entered the world. Now is the best opportunity to rebuild order…
