My monster derivative skills are the orthodox ones

Chapter 411 The Trapped Saints

Having mastered many fields, Li Ye's view of the world's context became increasingly clear.

The disturbance of demonic energy has existed since ancient times, and it has manifested itself in different divine races.

In Eastern mythology, during the ten-day chaos, Gonggong, who smashed Mount Buzhou, appeared out of nowhere, and the drought demon brought devastation to the land...

Nighogg, the black dragon who gnawed down the World Tree and caused Ragnarok; Fenrir, the mad wolf; and the Behemoth that nearly destroyed the world…

Every time a disaster strikes the world, there is always a sudden change in the temperament of a monster or demon. These small-scale monster disturbances are like a rehearsal, until ten thousand years ago, when the demonic energy collectively went berserk.

During this period, many powerful figures studied the cause of the demonic energy disturbance, but in the end, none of them came to a conclusion.

Then came the great upheaval of demonic energy ten thousand years ago, the sudden appearance of the Demon-Suppressing Tower, and the sweeping blows of the sage's hand...

The demonic energy caused chaos, destroying most civilizations, causing the fall of many gods, and leaving many others severely injured and forced to recuperate, like the dark god Erebus, who took ten thousand years to recover.

What happened next was Li Ye's personal experience: the Demon-Suppressing Tower, which was sealed on Earth, was opened, and the demonic energy escaped. The demons left on Earth were sent to this universe by the Demon-Catching Office in the form of time travelers.

The cause of the demonic disturbance is unknown, but the opening of the Demon Suppression Tower, which allowed the demonic energy to return, should be the work of all the sages.

The higher Li Ye's strength, the more he could appreciate the power of the sage.

The realm he awakened was unconventional and unorthodox, and many ancient gods and immortals could not deal with it.

However, the orthodox realm is equally powerful, with saints representing the most powerful group of people in the universe.

From the very beginning, they have been constantly improving their strength, establishing religions, creating a heavenly court, and orchestrating calamities...

I don't know how many tens of thousands of years have passed.

It can be said that the universe is their own home. Even Nuwa can monitor the entire universe, let alone those saints who are stronger than Nuwa.

No one in the universe would believe anything that happens without their authorization.

But what good is knowing the sage's plan? Li Ye can't even see them now.

Even knowing that constantly improving his strength would likely lead to his downfall, this was all Li Ye could do now.

He feels insecure if he doesn't improve his strength.

Moreover, the entire universe is his experience base, and Li Ye simply can't resist picking it up...

What if he eventually becomes a saint?

Once someone becomes a saint, does that mean he has the right to challenge other saints?
When everything is decided by strength, all other schemes and plots become ineffective.

What's more.

How many decades has Li Ye lived?

How dare he try to compete with a sage in wisdom? He doesn't even know what the sage is thinking...

Therefore, Li Ye was very calm about it.

As long as the sage doesn't show himself, he continues to increase his strength and uses every means to boost his reputation in every civilization.

……

As the days went by, Li Ye's expansion area grew larger and larger.

then.

He discovered a very strange problem: none of those famous bigwigs had shown up.

The Buddhist deities Guanyin, Ksitigarbha, and other famous Buddhas seem to have vanished without a trace; their whereabouts remain unknown.

Not only that, the Longevity Emperor who stole the oil lamp, as well as his equals the Purple Star Emperor, the Eastern Flower Emperor, and even the Jade Emperor, never appeared...

Throughout the entire encounter, Li Ye seemed to only meet some minor deities or immortals.

In Greek mythology, Gaia never came out to cause him any trouble.

Even after he displayed the corpses of Zeus and others, Gaia and the others still did not appear.

Moreover, even the curse of the Olympian gods seemed to have disappeared.

This made Li Ye feel a little strange. He knew that Odin had died in battle, but surely all these famous big shots couldn't have died in the demonic calamity!

Soon, something even more unusual happened.

In the Heavenly Court, the employees that Li Ye had gathered to help him level up his derivative skills were disappearing one after another, along with their demonic creatures.

Only by extending Li Ye's rainbow bridge can one find out what happened at the destination.

But the universe is too vast for him to keep track of.

By the time he realized something was wrong, Han Peng from the Vulcan Department, Li Ji from the Clothing Department, the Old Mother of Lishan, the Old Man of the South Pole, and other elders who had initially followed him had all disappeared.

It's important to understand that these veterans who followed Li Ye had already awakened to a new realm, making it impossible to take them down quietly.

Unless a saint intervenes...

As more and more people disappeared, Li Ye had no choice but to gather all the remaining elders, including Wang Lingguan, Li Jing, Muzha, Mo Lihong, and Jiao Zhihong, together, and dared not let them leave.

If they split up again, they will eventually be caught in a trap by someone in the shadows.

Most importantly, Han Peng and the others disappeared along with the demon.

Logically speaking, with so many people disappearing, their demons should have revealed their whereabouts. After all, to unlock derivative skills, demons must have influence and fame.

However, after the monster disappeared, it never reappeared. Even though Li Ye explored the entire universe at top speed, he could not find the vanished monster.

Apart from the group he protected, the rest of the people vanished into thin air.

More and more people disappeared, and the entire universe seemed to quiet down.

There are no more chaotic scenes of people spamming derivative skills.

With the loss of employees, Li Ye's speed in collecting derivative technologies suddenly decreased.

……

"What happened?" Wang Lingguan's expression was unusually cold.

"The sages have made their move!" Li Ye frowned, looking into the endless void. "What exactly are they trying to do? Why did they suddenly capture everyone?"

"Could it be that the Sage saw we went too far and therefore detained those people as a warning?" Mu Zha tentatively suggested.

"Then why didn't you just come out and stop me?" Li Ye asked.

"What do we do next? Are we going to keep practicing derivative skills?" Li Jing asked.

"Let's stop farming." Li Ye looked around at the people around him and shook his head. "The influence of us all gathered together in the same civilization is ultimately limited. We won't get many derivative skills anyway, so let's not waste our time."

"Just do nothing?" Wang Lingguan said. "The current situation is somewhat like when the Demon Suppression Tower had just taken away the demonic energy. The whole universe was quiet, and every civilization was recuperating."

"Master, can you contact the Sage?" Li Ye suddenly asked, a thought flashing through his mind.

“If a sage doesn’t want to be found, no one can find him,” Wang Lingguan shook his head. “Besides, what right do we have to see a sage?”

“Master, let’s go back to Earth!” Li Ye paused for a moment, looked at the people around him, and suddenly said.

"Go to Earth?" Wang Lingguan was stunned. Li Ye said, "The Demon-Suppressing Tower is on Earth. If the Sage doesn't come to see me, then we'll go see the Sage."

"Are you ready?" Wang Lingguan asked.

"We need to find out what happened!" Li Ye smiled frankly. "What's the point of being kept in limbo like this? We can't just sit here and wait like this!"

“Since you’ve made up your mind, then do it!” Wang Lingguan said. “Since the Demon Suppression Tower reopened, this universe has indeed looked rather abnormal. Something just doesn’t feel right.”

Li Ye looked around at everyone and opened the Rainbow Bridge.

The rainbow bridge traversed space and landed directly on Earth.

then.

Li Ye led the group across the rainbow bridge and landed directly inside the Demon-Catching Office.

……

They entered the Demon-Catching Office, but hadn't even had a chance to get a foothold yet.

Li Ye felt a sudden dizziness, as if the whole world was shaking.

The moment he landed, all of Li Ye's immortal spiritual power was sealed, leaving only the power of his physical body and the vast demonic energy within him.

What came into view was a scene of ruins, with the high-tech equipment of the Demon-Catching Office scattered all over the ground.

But the ground is teeming with monsters.

Screwdrivers, sneakers, charcoal braziers, umbrellas, and other magical items that Li Ye once used had all become ordinary items and were carelessly discarded on the ground...

"Nuwa, what are you trying to do?"

A sharp shout rang in Li Ye's ears.

He looked up in the direction from which the sound came.

In the sky.

A goddess with a human head and a snake's body floated in the air, her body covered in a dense demonic aura.

Many other demons hovered in the air, their demonic energy extracted by Nuwa piece by piece, absorbed into her body, and then fell to the ground.

The Demon-Suppressing Tower hovered above her head, continuously blocking external attacks for her.

Surrounding Nuwa were five figures: Laozi, Yuanshi Tianzun, Tongtian Jiaozhu, Zhunti, and Jieyin.

However, all five of them wore expressions of pain, completely lacking any semblance of saintly demeanor.

The speaker was none other than the venerable Laozi, whose face was contorted with rage, and the Eight Trigrams of the Primordial Chaos protected his head.

same.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable sat cross-legged, with a flag above his head;
Four swords surrounded the Tongtian Sect Leader;
Jieyin and Zhunti, one is protected by the Golden Lotus of Merit, and the other is protected by the Seven Treasures Tree;
Look closely, and you'll see that what's protecting them are all illusory images; there isn't a single physical magical artifact...

At Nuwa's feet, the Taiji Diagram, the Pangu Banner, the Four Swords of Zhuxian, and other innate treasures were like scrap metal mixed in with the demons, losing their demonic aura.

It wasn't the Five Saints besieging Nuwa?

Instead, Nuwa suppressed the five sages single-handedly.

what's the situation?
Li Ye's eyes widened. Wasn't Nuwa supposed to be the weakest?

Wang Lingguan and the others were also stunned by the scene before them, and they stood there dumbfounded.

"Li Ye, quickly attack Nuwa! She has fallen into demonic possession!" Yuanshi Tianzun said hastily upon seeing Li Ye. "Break the Demon-Suppressing Tower above her head, and we can regain our supernatural powers..."

"Can I know what happened?" Li Ye did not act rashly.

He conjured a three-headed, six-armed form, took the kitchen knife, chopping board, and Hun Tian Ling (a magical sash) in his hands, and cautiously looked at the saints in front of him, not making a move rashly.

“We have fallen into Nuwa’s trap,” said Laozi. “We are now all inside the Mountain and River Map. Nuwa has used the power of the gods to suppress our domain, and all the demons are now unusable.”

"Li Ye, quickly attack Nuwa! She's absorbing our demonic energy; she's going to devour us..." In Li Ye's mind, the voices of the kitchen knife, toilet paper, team emblem, and other demonic creatures rang out almost simultaneously.

Li Ye's Eye of Insight clearly saw that the immense demonic energy contained within the several demonic objects he held in his hands was rapidly dissipating...

Similarly, the demonic energy of the monsters in the hands of Wang Lingguan and the others was also dissipating.

All the demonic energy converged towards Nuwa in the sky...

Realizing something was wrong, Li Ye no longer hesitated and quickly expanded all areas.

But he soon discovered that his immense divine sense was also suppressed, and the wedding domain that relied on the range of his divine sense could only affect an area of ​​less than three meters around him.

Similarly, the realms of the God of Cookery, the God of Toilet, and the God of Medicine were also suppressed to within three meters.

Even he was suppressed to within three meters, and Wang Lingguan's spiritual sense was even weaker than his; he probably couldn't even use the Great Dao of Bathing...

"Nuwa has collected all the gods, including Gaia, God, and the Jade Emperor, into the Mountain and River Map and refined them," said Laozi. "Now, the Mountain and River Map covers more than half of the rules in the universe, and the Great Dao domain of everyone who is collected into the Mountain and River Map will be suppressed."

The more similar the Great Dao Laws are, the stronger the suppression. Right now, only your strange and unusual laws can contend with Nuwa.

Gan!
Another "Landscape and Social Map"?
No wonder he could never find Gaia, God, Satan, or the Buddha in the universe.

So they were all captured by Nuwa and placed inside the Map of Mountains and Rivers...

Back then, he even helped the "Map of Mountains and Rivers" to include Zeus and the other twelve Olympian gods.

Ah!
The claims that the demonic energy was released, that the Mountain and River Map sensed Nuwa's call, and that they wanted to use Zeus and others to become independent and escape Nuwa's control are all lies!
Throughout the entire process, the Map of Mountains and Rivers remained in Nuwa's hands, and she used it to suppress all the remaining gods in the universe.

Now, it seems even saints are about to be refined by him.

The biggest boss is actually Nuwa?
What have these sages been doing all these years? Have they just stood by and watched Nuwa complete all her plans?
No wonder the other universe is eerily quiet.

So it turns out he wasn't being ignored by a saint; he was simply trapped...

If it weren't for his sudden urge to return to Earth to reclaim the Demon-Suppressing Tower and meet the sage behind it...

Once Nuwa has suppressed all the saints, dealing with him will be a piece of cake.

It seems that all along, I have been nothing more than bait used by Nuwa to lure the attention of other sages...

With this in mind, Li Ye no longer hesitated. Despite Nuwa's pressure, he used his Void Feet to approach Nuwa in the sky step by step.

Everyone turned their hopeful gaze toward Li Ye.

"Li Ye, don't make a mistake." Nuwa opened her eyes and said, "Demons are born to destroy the world. Only by letting me absorb all the demonic energy can this world be preserved."

I created all living things in the world, so how could I possibly destroy them?

To completely suppress the demonic energy, we must rely on the power of all the saints. Your interference with my actions will only bring annihilation to the world…

“Li Ye, don’t listen to her nonsense,” Jieyin said. “She just wants to refine all the demonic energy and become the ruler of this world.”

"Li Ye, you should know how many calamities the sages have caused for the creation of their techniques." Nuwa glanced at the sages and said, "There should never have been demonic energy or sages in this world. Only by refining both demonic energy and sages in my own body can we achieve world harmony."

You are the Heavenly Emperor I have chosen; you must lend me a hand. With the two of us mastering the Great Dao of Life, creating a new generation of beings for the universe will be a piece of cake…
