From Blood Mage to Styx Ancestor

Chapter 366 Deceiving Heaven

What kind of conversation took place between the Lord of Steel and the Light Spot is probably unknown to anyone other than the two people involved.

All that is known is that in the end, the Lord of Steel left on his own initiative, and the countless steel structures gradually collapsed and squeezed into the narrow gaps in space.

Next came the hundreds of millions of machine legions, which erected massive stargates on the spot and disappeared along with their master.

The same was true for the fleet in outer space; after the Altering Heaven ordered the electronic demons to leave, they also warped away from this world.

Before leaving, they left behind a coordinate.

It's the one in Modi's hand.

"I've already persuaded the Lord of Steel to step down," the light flashed, conveying a series of messages, "but I still advise you not to be so radical in your actions, lest I have to clean up the mess later."

"I know, I know..." Modi replied absentmindedly, his gaze fixed on the coordinate lattice in his hand.

This lattice records a coordinate he doesn't understand, nor does he know what the corresponding location is like.

But it's okay, he still has the Face Fruit ability, right? Just ask him.

"How much do you know about this coordinate?" Mordy asked.

The light dimmed slightly, as if it were deep in thought, before brightening up again a few seconds later.

"If my information is still relevant, this coordinate should correspond to a battlefield, or of course, it could be a battlefield site now."

"Battlefield ruins?"

"That's right, the Mother of No Birth you mentioned is the one whose throne was shattered on that battlefield. She's probably still hiding somewhere, licking her wounds."

Modi keenly caught the key words and squinted as he asked, "So, the essence of the Mother of No Life remains on that battlefield?"

That's correct, provided you can find it.

"I understand... If I were to taint His essence, would He relentlessly return to the Abyss of Death?"

The brightness of the light spot suddenly stopped, as if it had crashed due to a surge of data.

It took some time for it to return to normal.

"Okay, you've asked me the right question. Normally, He wouldn't do that; He would hide away to heal His injuries, but..."

'

The light spot's tone was meaningful.

"But you must understand, this is a goddess, and common sense doesn't really apply to her."

Got it, let's just prepare for the worst.

Mordy nodded, then posed another question: "Could you persuade Him to retreat, just like you did today?"

"Do you think this is possible?" A sweating soybean emoji appeared in the chat bubble of the light spot.

"You've already tainted His essence; do you think there's any possibility of mediation left?"

"Can you help me hold Him off? Just for a little while," Mordy asked.

The point of light remained silent for a short while, its surface alternating between light and shadow, as if it were calculating something.

After a short while, a positive answer came from the point of light: "Yes."

Modi was relieved. With the subspace and the evolution game, dealing with a severely injured demon god whose throne had shattered should not be a problem.

"You want to go to that battlefield?" Light Spot guessed what was going on and voiced his thoughts.

"If the fighting is still going on there, it's probably not very safe. The apostles of the various demon gods are fighting each other, and the Lone Wolf Immortal is mixed in among them, seeking advancement. You're not the only one."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Modi lowered his eyes. "But opportunity and danger go hand in hand, especially the opportunity to ascend to the rank of Demon God."

His avatars are scattered throughout the void, all searching for a way to ascend to the status of a demon god.

But after searching for so long, he felt that the path with the highest success rate was the upgrade of the four hawkers to a higher status.

With the other three Chaos Gods sharing the risks with him, and with the relatively solid support of the Warp, the risk of failing the ascension was greatly reduced.

"It's good that you know what's going on." The light vibrated at a high frequency for a while, then disappeared into his body. "Call me when you need me. I look forward to the day you are promoted."

You will see it.

Having finished his interaction with the evolution game, Mordi turned back to look at the battlefield.

Only red, green, blue, and purple remained on the field; the vast expanse of silvery-white waves had long since vanished.

The Blood God Invading Army remained silent, assembling under the officers' orders. They had no interest in building a mound of skulls this time, since the enemy was just a bunch of idiots who couldn't excite them.

The remaining three groups had nothing to do and were waiting for orders from the four gods above them.

Once the Blood God's invading army had assembled, Modi reached out his hand to them.

The ordinary-looking hand suddenly enlarged, easily taking the entire army into its grasp and sending it back to the Blood Sea base camp.

The corrupt heaven and the tampering heaven also disbanded their troops, leaving only the demon army of the Blissful Heaven in place, which He sent to do some post-disaster reconstruction work.

"My entire fortune..."

After the battle, the territory inherited by the Blissful Sect from the Unborn Sect was almost completely destroyed. Even the Blissful Heaven, which took pleasure in pain, couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

The usurper smiled and said, "At least we won. Everything was a necessary sacrifice..."

'

Blissful Heaven thought he was gloating and cursed, "Need my foot! You filthy bird, if we were fighting on your territory, let's see if you'd still be laughing!"

"Alright, everyone, quiet down." Zhifutian acted as a peacemaker. "Let's listen to what Shalutian has to say first."

He turned to look at Modi, who was approaching. "You must already have plans, right?"

Modi took out the coordinate lattice and nodded.

"These are the coordinates of a battlefield between demons and gods. It was there that the Mother of No Life had a corner of her divine throne shattered."

"Oh? So, you want to go in and find His lost essence?" The altered heaven landed on his shoulder and asked, tilting its head.

"Yes, but it must be fraught with danger inside."

He explained the possible situation on the battlefield to them.

"So, there are many entities like the command node Delta, and entities like us?"

Blissful Heaven crosses his left arm around his chest, places his right hand on his left, and lightly touches his cheek with his fingers.

"Can I interpret this as trying to snatch food from a tiger's mouth?"

"Not too bad. If I'm unlucky, I might even run into a demon god." Mo Di's eyes flickered as he searched through his memories, considering what potential advantages he might have.

Among the demons on both sides of the battle, besides the Mother of No Life, who was inevitably his enemy, he also knew his old superior, the Deathbird, and the Corpse Collector, whose followers he had killed.

And the Steel Lord who was just persuaded to leave.

The Corpse Collector and the Lord of Steel might cause him trouble, but the Deathbird might offer him help, provided that he remembers their past relationship and recalls their past together.

"Hmm, I also have a Whisper Core that connects to the Void Realm. I wonder if I can get help from the demon god behind it."

While he was pondering, the three gods were also weighing the pros and cons.

"We should develop sufficient power in the surrounding border areas before stepping into that battlefield," said Zhifutian.

Power is both an extension of their hands and a component of their own strength.

The greater their power and the deeper their corruption of the surrounding areas, the stronger their capabilities become.

Leading an army of millions of demons is a completely different experience from when they are shirtless.

"That's right. The Demon God Battlefield is fraught with danger. If you go in without proper preparation, you'll most likely be wiped out."

Modi also agreed with the theory of the stagnant and corrupt heaven.

Next, the four gods discussed the work of corrupting the surrounding border regions, focusing on the priority of the corruption and infiltration work.

"In the surrounding area, 4,890 worlds have been discovered, of which 387 have been severely corrupted, 793 have been moderately corrupted, and 1,230 have been lightly corrupted."

"In these worlds, there are no supreme immortals like us. The strongest are only about the same as the weak chaos gods in the warp. We can handle them perfectly well."

"The Steel Lord's forces have kept their promise and withdrawn. This means that we have the greatest power in this realm. Once we complete the corruption of it, we can explore the Demon God Battlefield."

Zhi Futian said, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's speed up the exploration process."

"There's no rush," Modi waved his hand. "Let the outer forces continue at their current pace. Our priority should be this world."

"This world?" Bliss raised an eyebrow. "Why? Is there anything special about this place...?"

'

Before he could finish speaking, a keyword popped into his mind.

"Coo coo... It's the jealousy of Heaven." The usurper spoke for Him.

While the jealousy of the heavens may not seem like much to the Demon Lord of Steel, it can still pose a significant threat to a world.

This thing that gradually devours the world's energy level and pushes the world toward death, if it could spread, would be enough to sentence countless worlds to death.

Such things, which are intangible and without substance, and whose very existence is unknown, are often the most difficult to deal with.

Modi said, "I received information from the Evolution Game, which is the point of light you saw. If I'm not mistaken, it should be a contingency plan left behind by the Mother of No Life."

Even a centipede with a hundred legs does not die easily, let alone a demon or god.

The Mother of No Birth only had a corner of her divine throne shattered, and the laws of the Dao in the surrounding area were cleared away; she is not dead.

He was fully capable of leaving himself a way to repair his damaged throne.

"The jealousy of the heavens will drive the death of the world, thereby fulfilling the path passed down by the Mother of No Birth and exchanging it for the return of her divine throne."

As the eccentric ruler made this conjecture, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Things of the same origin will attract each other. If we can master this, we can save some effort when we search for the essence of the Mother of No Birth on the battlefield of demons."

"Therefore, our next task should be to find and remove the Heavenly Jealousy."

To conclude the discussion, Modi presented a diagram of the ritual layout, or rather, a battle formation.

"I got this from the Evolution Game. It's said to be able to deceive the heavens and draw out the power of the Mother of No Birth."

This magic array affects the entire world, so it requires a huge amount of manpower and resources to set it up.

Fortunately, the four people present were the four most powerful people in the world, so this was not a difficult task for them.

"Sigh, my entire fortune was just emptied, and now it's going to be emptied again. Slaughtering Heaven, where are you? Where is everyone?"

Bliss looked around, but couldn't see the red figure.

The Usurper flapped its wings and cooed twice: "The Killer Heaven left a long time ago. No matter how much you complain, it's useless. You'd better get to work."

After saying that, his body turned into a wisp of blue smoke and disappeared.

The Blissful Heaven then turned to look at the Stagnant and Corrupted Heaven.

Without batting an eye, Zhi Futian shifted his massive body and muttered, "Sigh, this battle has left me severely injured and depleted. I'll have to go back and make some nourishing soup to replenish my strength."

He left as well.

Only Bliss remained, staring blankly at the circular pit that should have been his palace, and a group of survivors not far away, filled with impotent rage.

Only the world that was wounded by Him was achieved.

The Feathered Ascension Sect's mountain gate is stained with blood.

Liu Wuxian had just finished a major battle and was taking stock of the sect's losses.

On the mountain, besides the blood and remains of the Feathered Sect members, there were also numerous damaged parts scattered around.

And some abandoned blue malfunctioning robots.

"Where did these puppets come from? Could it be another world?"

Looking at the long list of losses, Liu Wuxian felt quite troubled.

Fortunately, the Feathered Ascension Sect was not the only one attacked; the Medicine King Hall and the Myriad Transformations Sect also suffered attacks to varying degrees.

The most unfortunate of all was the Blissful Sect.

According to intelligence from scouts on the front lines, the Blissful Sect is the primary target of this group of puppets' invasion.

Not only was the newly built headquarters burned to the ground, but the disciples who inherited the Wusheng Sect also suffered heavy casualties.

He felt only schadenfreude towards the Blissful Sect, and his only concern was Elder Mo.

"I don't know how that battle went."

After muttering a few words, he continued to work on sect affairs at his desk. Just then, someone pushed open the door and entered.

"Busy?" Mordy's gaze fell on the list. "Then I won't bother you."

"Wait, Elder Mo, please wait."

Liu Wuxian quickly welcomed him in and then looked him over from head to toe.

"What are you looking at?" Modi frowned.

"Let's see if you've shortchanged us," he said instinctively.

"Go away, do I look like I'm shortchanging you?"

Modi pushed him away impatiently.

Liu Wuxian coughed twice, then hesitated before asking, "Ahem, Elder Mo, what's the situation at the Blissful Sect?"

"What else could it be? The enemy has left and shouldn't be coming back. It's just a pity for the Great Freedom Demon Lord of the Blissful Heaven. But thankfully, I'm not the one suffering."

"By the way, how is the Feather Transformation Sect doing?"

Liu Wuxian said, "The losses are not serious; they are still within an acceptable range."

"That's good," Modi said, pulling out a blueprint and slamming it on the table. "I have a plan that can end the jealousy of the heavens and liberate this world from its shackles."

"You have a plan?" Liu Wuxian asked in surprise.

"You have a plan?" Mo Fufeng, who had just entered, looked surprised.

"You have a plan!?" Xuan Guang Zhenren, who appeared out of nowhere, opened his eyes wide.

"Excellent! I have a plan that can restore the world and bring the energy level back to its peak in ancient times."

Modi spread out the blueprints and, under the watchful eyes of the three, began to draw the array diagram on the spot.

He had left the previous array diagram at the Blissful Sect, so he had to draw a new one by hand.

"This is a grand array, or rather a ritual, that encompasses the entire world. In order to make it happen, we have to cooperate with other sects."

After adding the final stroke, Modi looked up at the three stunned people.

"This is the 'Heaven-Deceiving Array.' Let's finish setting it up as soon as possible."
