Zhu Tian started by deceiving his father-in-law from the perspective of pirates

They are two complete lunatics! Their methods of breakthrough are extremely bizarre. They can't defeat each other, so they can only cultivate people to inherit their lineage.

Whether one cultivates immortality or Buddhism, the essence will ultimately become nourishment for these two individuals, helping them take the final step and completely transcend this world.

The world has been harvested four times already. In just four times, the world has been reduced to this state of ruin. Negative energy has eroded the entire world.

It won't even reach the ninth time. It's estimated that the entire world will collapse and return to chaos by the seventh or even the sixth time.

To be honest, Rhodes understood the two of them somewhat. Not everyone had the ability to travel through time, and this world was extremely lacking in energy.

Although the world will continuously generate energy, this energy is not enough for both Buddha and Dao Ancestor. This world can only support one primordial god at most, but now two have been born.

"I know about this matter, and Buddha knows about this matter, but what can we do?"

"If I don't do this, Buddha will reach the Primordial God before me, and that will be the day of my death. But if Buddha doesn't do this, I will still do it," said the Supreme Dao Ancestor.

They are partners, but also fierce competitors, each wanting to be one step ahead of the other.

The world isn't enough for the two of them to harvest nine times, but neither is willing to stop first, because the one who stops can't guarantee that the other won't continue.

"All living beings in heaven and earth are like ants! This is the true nature of this world, which immortals and Buddhas think they have seen through."

"Actually, you didn't see through them at all. In your and Buddha's eyes, they're not much different from ordinary mortals," Rhodes said.

Trapped in this world with no way out, these two old guys have been driven completely insane.

This world is not like the primordial universe, which has endless chaos that provides spiritual energy to the primordial world, nor is it like the Saint Seiya world, which has endless void.

Everything in this world is finite.

"Now that you know the answer, fellow Daoist, do you intend to kill me or spare my life?" Taishang asked.

"I can't keep you in this world. You've brought too much pain to all living beings," Rhodes said, shaking his head.

Upon hearing this, the Supreme Lord immediately stood up, bowed to Rhodes, and spoke.

"Thank you for your help, fellow Daoist."

"Oh! Why do you worship me?" Rod asked, somewhat surprised.

I never said I was going to let you go! I said I wouldn't let you live. You two must have done things that harmed all living beings in the world.

I might let you off the hook then, but that's impossible now.

"Because I don't want to stay in this world any longer! This world is a huge prison for me. If you could send me to another world, that would be wonderful," Taishang said.

If he cannot remain in this world, then he must be sent away. If he could go to another world, that would be his greatest dream.

"Hehe! You are a man of great wisdom, but unfortunately you have misunderstood me," Rhodes said.

Rhodes waved his hand, and to the astonishment of the Supreme Being, he directly destroyed the opponent's physical body and then imprisoned his soul.

"What I mean is that I can't spare your life and send you to another world. What if you come back to play this farming game again? Wouldn't I be harming the creatures of other worlds?"

"I may not be a good person, but as long as you don't offend me, I won't harm anyone," Rod said, shaking his head.

Just kidding, what would happen if I let you go? If I trapped you in a low-level world, you'd probably go crazy and start a breeding frenzy.

This world of Dark Myth is indeed a huge cage for you and Buddha, but for some beings in lower worlds, isn't it also a vast ocean?

Worlds even more advanced than Black Myth do exist, but they are relatively rare.

All he knew about were Saint Seiya, the universe, and the Marvel Universe. Rhode obviously wouldn't send too much of these two worlds over there.

If the teleportation is random, it will likely send the Supreme Being to a low-magic world. Once there, given the Supreme Being's personality, he might do even more insane things.

Therefore, the best course of action is to send this fellow to his death. You've lived for so long, reaping countless lives from heaven and earth; it's time for you to vomit up everything you've consumed.

Do you really think I'll let you go?

Do you really think I'd be a typing addict like you?

When I say I can't let you stay in this world, I mean I can't let you stay in this world, not that I'm sending you to another world.

After killing the Supreme Dao Ancestor and Tathagata, Rhodes did not leave behind the energy accumulated in their bodies, but returned it directly to this world.

Having already embarked on the path of the primordial gods, the energy left behind by these two individuals is of little use to me. It would be better to return it to the beings of this world and proclaim their deeds to the world.

As Rhodes released the energy left behind by the Supreme Being and the Buddha, all life in the world...

The impact on mortals was not significant, but for some celestial beings and Buddhas, the impact was the greatest, as the spiritual energy of the entire world increased by more than two times out of thin air.

The originally harsh cultivation environment in the mortal realm, and some cultivation resources that had begun to deplete, have inexplicably started to reappear.

The whole world seemed to be radiating vitality, the whole world was recovering, yes, literally recovering.

Previously, this world was already on the verge of death. The Supreme Being and Buddha's harvesting plan had squeezed the value of this world to its limit.

Without Rhodes's appearance, this world would have ultimately faced utter annihilation.

"I am the Ancestor of the Wutian Law, and I proclaim that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has increased more than tenfold for all living beings in the Three Realms and Six Paths, and the substances that promote longevity have begun to reappear in this world."

This world was not originally like this. The cause of this is the Supreme Being and the Buddha. This world was originally a huge pond.

"All things in heaven and earth, whether immortals or Buddhas, are fish raised in their pond. Now that they are both dead, I have returned all the vital energy they harvested from heaven and earth over the years to this world." Rhodes made no secrets and told all the beings in the world what Tathagata and Taishang had done.

"How is this possible? The Dao Ancestor, the Dao Ancestor and the Buddha, they actually did such a thing, they actually did such a thing! We, we were just food that they raised, raised, and ate!"

"Impossible, impossible! Dao Ancestor, how could the Dao Ancestor treat us like this? Dao Ancestor, be merciful! Dao Ancestor, be merciful! If you hadn't taught us the methods of immortal cultivation, if you hadn't taught us the art of the Golden Core, how could we have the celestial beings of the Heavenly Court?"

"This must be fake, Wutian Fazu, you are a heretic and evil person. You killed Taishang Daozu and Tathagata Buddha, and now you want to slander their reputations."

Many people in the Three Realms, including immortals, Buddhas, and demons, dared not believe Rod's words, because they were indeed hard to accept.

However, some people accepted this, such as the Queen Mother of the West Kunlun, the Jade Emperor of Heaven, and Maitreya Buddha who lived in the Great Thunder Temple.

In fact, they had long suspected this, because from the time they became conscious and had memories, the two most powerful people in the world were Buddha and the Taoist Ancestor.

All the Taoist practices and methods they cultivated were taught to them by these two people.

No one knows or dares to guess what these two people came from or what the world was like before.

However, some clever people could vaguely guess what the Buddha and the Supreme Lord were doing, because the immortals in the Heavenly Court and the Buddha on Mount Ling all needed life energy and needed to prolong their lifespan.

Isn't the business in the celestial realm just a microcosm of what the Supreme Taoist Ancestor and the Buddha Tathagata did?

It's like the upper beam is crooked and the lower beam is crooked too!

At this moment in the Heavenly Court, Sun Wukong and Erlang Shen Yang Jian were also surprised. They knew that Taishang and Tathagata were not good people, but they did not expect that the two's plan would be so cruel.

The Three Realms and Six Paths, all living beings in heaven and earth—everything is their food, their target for harvest.

"It really is! It really is! Hahaha! You old sage, you old Buddha, you died well, you died well! Hahaha!" Sun Wukong laughed loudly, looking up at the sky.

"I had some vague suspicions before, but I didn't expect it to be true. And they've done it so many times already. No wonder this world is so broken, no wonder the spiritual energy and all the longevity substances in this world are gradually withering away, or even disappearing completely." Erlang Shen Yang Jian shook his head and said.

Perhaps many powerful beings have guessed this, but how could they dare to say it? After all, no one in this world can defy the Supreme Being and the Buddha.

The fact that the spiritual energy in this world suddenly increased tenfold is the best proof. Just how many times have those two bastards harvested it?

At this moment, the world is recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye. The former four corners of heaven and earth have even appeared as a vast land and a vast ocean. The world has become much larger.

The deaths of Buddha and Lao Tzu are of immense benefit to this world. The world itself will absorb some of the power of nothingness to replenish itself.

The world is supposed to grow, but the Supreme Being and the Buddha absorb all the material nourishment that the world produces, thus preventing the world from growing and forcing it to support these two beings instead.

Now, by vomiting up everything that the two people had eaten, the world has expanded, allowing it to accommodate more living beings, more spiritual energy, and provide more substances for longevity.

The whole world has grown.

"May the merciful Ancestor of Heaven remove the most wicked man in this world." The Jade Emperor, who was originally sitting on the dragon throne, suddenly stood up, then knelt on the ground and spoke.

"Forgive the Dharma Ancestor, forgive the Dharma Ancestor." All the immortals and gods in Heaven also knelt on the ground along with the Jade Emperor.

They genuinely felt the benefits. Originally, they needed golden pills and peaches of immortality to prolong their lives, but with the increase in the world's spiritual energy reserves and the increase in longevity substances, they would not need golden pills or peaches of immortality for at least a long time.

It's important to know that peaches of immortality and golden pills aren't readily available; they take time to produce.

"Old Jade Emperor, don't be in such a hurry to express your gratitude. You haven't answered the question I asked you earlier!" Sun Wukong asked, slinging his golden cudgel over his shoulder.

Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor's face instantly turned ugly, because the conditions proposed by Sun Wukong were completely unacceptable to him.

After Sun Wukong entered the Lingxiao Palace, he raised three issues. First, all the immortals and gods in the entire Heavenly Court should obey the decrees of Wu Tian Fa Zu. This was not a problem; they were willing to accept it.

The second reason is that the Jade Emperor is not worthy of his position and can no longer enjoy the title of ruler of the Three Realms. Wutian Fazu has already chosen a successor for the Heavenly Emperor.

He absolutely cannot accept this condition. He was born the Jade Emperor, the supreme ruler of the Three Realms. Stepping down from this position would be harder than killing him. Once you've tasted the power, you'll never want to leave him again.

As for the third thing Sun Wukong mentioned, none of the gods in the entire Heavenly Court could agree to it, because Wu Tianfazu demanded that they could use peaches of immortality to extend their lifespan, but they could no longer refine elixirs as before.

If they cannot refine elixirs that can prolong life, then these immortals and gods will be fine for a period of time, but one day, death will come.

"I must personally petition the Dharma Ancestor about this matter," the Jade Emperor said.

The Queen Mother of the West, sitting beside him, also nodded. As the two of them were the masters of the Heavenly Palace, how could they give up their supreme positions?

The other gods in Heaven felt the same way; none of them wanted to give up the chance to achieve immortality.

"Hehe! Jade Emperor, you need to understand one thing. Wutian Fazu did not send me to negotiate with you, but to formally inform you that you have refused."

"Then I, Old Sun, have no more worries. Wutian Ancestor, please lend a hand! They don't want this sliver of hope!" Sun Wukong took a deep breath, bowed to the sky, and said.

He had absolutely no goodwill towards the gods and immortals of Heaven. Those gods he cared about had either been demoted or harmed, or had already descended to the mortal realm.

Originally, according to Wutian Fazu's intention, these Heavenly Gods should be directly eliminated without saying anything more to them. It was Sun Wukong who managed to get an opportunity.

If they were willing to accept Rhodes's conditions and stop using all living things in the world to refine golden pills to prolong their lives, then they could continue to live. But alas!

These immortals, who have lived for so long, are unwilling to give up their immortality.

"Since that's the case, then so be it!" Rhodes sneered, and all the immortals in the Heavenly Court, including the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother, trembled.

Then it transformed into the purest primordial energy of heaven and earth, once again nourishing the world. However, compared to the primordial energy provided by the Supreme Being and the Buddha before, it was just a drop in the ocean.

The entire Heavenly Court seemed deserted. Ninety percent of the gods had been wiped out by Rod's attack. The few who remained were those who had a good relationship with Wukong, who had previously protected them and saved them from Rod's annihilation.

Among them are Nezha, the Six Sages of Meishan under Erlang Shen, the Ziwei Emperor, the former direct superior of Marshal Tianpeng, and the Zhenwu Emperor.

Apart from these people, all the gods and immortals in the entire sky were cleaned up by Rhodes.

"With the Heavenly Ancestor Wutian gone, all the immortals and gods of the Heavenly Court have been slaughtered. How is the world supposed to function now?" Sun Wukong asked as he approached Luo De.

"How does it work? All the dead mortals will naturally pass through the underworld, and all the land gods and mountain gods can also perform their respective duties."

"The Dragon Kings of the Four Seas can resume their power to control the clouds and rain, ensuring favorable weather for the world. The Moon and the Sun will also rise in the east and set in the west as usual. Is there anything wrong with that?" Rhodes asked with a smile.

The matter of reincarnation is managed by someone, the matter of the Four Dragon Kings controlling the clouds but not the rain is managed by someone, and the mountain gods and local deities have not killed a single one of them, so they can also manage their own mountains well.

These high and mighty gods and immortals are basically of little use except for reaping the benefits of all living beings.

"Hahaha! Wutian Fazu is right, we really don't need so many people to manage us!" Erlang Shen Yang Jian said with a smile.

"Hehe! Now that spiritual energy is abundant, many new cultivators from the various cultivation sects in the mortal realm will surely ascend to immortality. At that time, these people can naturally fill the vacancies in the Heavenly Court's divine positions."

Immortals have a fixed lifespan; no one can live forever unless they elevate their cultivation to a higher level.

"There will be no more golden pills or peaches to extend their lives from now on," Rhodes said.

Luo De accepted all the peaches without hesitation. He had already obtained all of Laozi's methods for refining the Golden Elixir. Next, he just needed to acquire Xi Kunlun.

"Ancestor Wutian! As the saying goes, a snake cannot function without a head. In the Three Realms, there is still a lack of a Heavenly Emperor. Does the Ancestor have a suitable candidate in mind?" Erlang Shen Yang Jian asked.

"How about you and Wukong? The two of you can manage the Heavenly Court and maintain order in this world," Rod said.

"I, Old Sun, am not fit to be the Heavenly Emperor. I still want to go back to Flower Fruit Mountain and enjoy myself for a while! I can't be the Heavenly Emperor." Sun Wukong immediately shook his head and said.

Just kidding, how could the Great Sage Equal to Heaven possibly become a Heavenly Emperor!

"Hahaha! You monkey, I remember when you made a ruckus in the Heavenly Palace, you said that the Jade Emperor's throne would be passed down in rotation, and this year it was my turn. But now you don't want the Jade Emperor's throne anymore," Erlang Shen Yang Jian said.

"Those were just ignorant words from my youth! Don't take them seriously, don't take them seriously," Sun Wukong said, shaking his head.

"Erlang Shen, what about you?"

"Without the Heavenly Ancestor, I cannot sit on the throne of the Heavenly Emperor," Yang Jian said, shaking his head.

Like Sun Wukong, he didn't want to get involved in too many things.

"Lord Wutian, your wife is about to give birth. Why not let your son become the Heavenly Emperor?" Sun Wukong said, his eyes darting around. (End of Chapter)
