It's time to become a fairy.

Ye Qingge pondered the hundred transcendent beings she saw in the Hundred Gods Stele, feeling that each of them could be the mastermind behind the scheme, but was rejected for one reason or another. Unable to come up with a conclusion, she had no choice but to suppress this thought for the time being.

After organizing the information she had received that day and the things she needed to do tomorrow, Ye Qingge immersed herself in her daily cultivation.

next day

Once people reach the level of immortals and gods, the ordinary changes of the sun and moon become meaningless. However, the beings born after birth still maintain the most basic daily routine, working at sunrise and resting at sunset.

Fortunately, even after Ye Qingge from later generations embarked on the path of cultivation and became an immortal god, he did not abandon this habit and began his first teaching and preaching.

When teaching cultivation techniques to the beings born in the Longhan era, Ye Qingge naturally wouldn't choose his own top-tier techniques. Instead, he chose another technique that could reach the ultimate realm. As for whether the early arrival of the technique would have an impact on the Longhan era or even future generations, that was not something Ye Qingge needed to consider.

If this operation fails, the Dragon-Han Era will restart once again, and even she will be trapped in this period. She spoke of this without hesitation. If she can successfully find a way to defeat the origin of the demonic seed, the price of these minor changes is nothing at all.

With her previous reputation for fighting Ling Yi, Ye Qingge's journey of spreading the Dao was smooth and easy. After discovering the benefits of the cultivation method, the spread of the Dao became even smoother, and she gained the recognition of a group of elite beings born after birth.

Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

The news that Ye Qingge could fight Ling Yi as soon as she was born spread more and more widely, attracting the attention of countless innate and acquired beings. However, the recruitment by the Heavenly God Lord mentioned by the Demon Ancestor never happened. Just when Ye Qingge thought that it was just the Demon Ancestor's guess, the Heavenly God Lord's envoy came to her door first.

A primordial deity resembling a Qilin appeared in front of Ye Qingge's door, stopping Ye Qingge who had just returned from teaching acquired techniques. The deity said with a slightly arrogant expression, "The Heavenly God summons you. Please come with me, Lord Ye."

"Lead the way."

Ye Qingge nodded slightly. She was a little surprised by the greeting from the Demon Ancestor, but not too much of a surprise.

After making a hand seal and leaving a talisman for the beings born after them, Ye Qingge and the Qilin entered the Heavenly Palace together.

This time, the process was similar to the last. Ye Qingge had already tacitly agreed to join the Earth Mother Yuanjun's camp, so she would not be tempted by the benefits offered by the Heavenly God. She politely declined the Heavenly God's request to join and left the Heavenly Palace.

Perhaps it was the protection of the Earth Mother Goddess that Ye Qingge encountered no difficulties at all. For Ye Qingge, this trip to the Heavenly Palace was just a waste of a few days and had no impact whatsoever.

Life returned to normal, and Ye Qingge spent her days preaching and investigating possible anomalies in the origin of the demonic seed.

A month passed, and just when Ye Qingge thought life would settle into routine, she was summoned by the three gods once again.

However, this time it was not the Earth Mother Yuanjun and the Heavenly God, but the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, which was beyond Ye Qingge's expectations.

"According to the Demon Ancestor's description, the Primordial Celestial Venerable should be the most peaceful of the three gods. He usually does not participate in the conflicts between the three gods. Although it is called a conflict between the three gods, it is actually more of a struggle between the Earth Mother Yuanjun and the Celestial God. What is the purpose of summoning me this time?"

Ye Qingge was puzzled, but she still nodded and agreed to the summons from the Primordial Celestial Venerable.

The way Yuanshi Tianzun summoned them was different from that of Dimu Yuanjun and Shangcang Shenjun. The two gods used acquired and innate beings to lead the summoning, but Yuanshi Tianzun's method was more direct. Ye Qingge only felt the scene in front of her change and then she was in front of Yuanshi Tianzun.

There is a huge difference between watching Yuanshi Tianzun from a distance and watching him up close. When Ye Qingge was watching from afar, he was already shocked, but when he watched him up close, he was able to clearly understand just how powerful Yuanshi Tianzun was.

A figure comparable to half of the Heavenly Palace sat cross-legged on a jade lotus, with countless stars rising and falling above its long horns. With her divine eyes, Ye Qingge could clearly see every change in the Primordial Heavenly Venerable's body and perceive his immense power, even surpassing that of the other two Supreme Gods.

She couldn't help but recall the information she had gleaned from Chi Ming: the Earth Mother Yuanjun and the Heavenly God Lord respectively wielded the power of the acquired and the innate, while the Primordial Heavenly Venerable wielded the power of all the heavens and myriad realms. Now that she thought about it, this was not simply the myriad realms, but rather an existence more akin to the Heavenly Dao of all the heavens and myriad realms.

As if meeting the Earth Mother and the Celestial Lord, Ye Qingge bowed to the Primordial Heavenly Venerable before asking, "May I ask what important matter the Heavenly Venerable has summoned me for?"

"You... are not from this era, are you?"

The Primordial Celestial Venerable opened his eyes, and two tangible beams of divine light were projected onto Ye Qingge's body, giving her the feeling that he could see right through her. Though the words were uttered in a tone of doubt, they carried an air of absolute certainty.

Ye Qingge's heart tightened. The Demon Ancestor had previously said that her identity had automatically changed to that of a human created by the Earth Mother Yuanjun upon arrival, which was why she had been ignoring it. However, if she were recognized, especially by the Yuanshi Tianzun, who was suspected to be the most powerful of the three gods, her heart would immediately become vigilant, and her body would tense slightly, as if she might suddenly strike.

Yuanshi Tianzun saw Ye Qingge's wariness and said with a faint smile, "There's no need to be so nervous. If I wanted to take action against you, you wouldn't be able to escape my methods no matter where you are in this era. Since I summoned you here, it's not to pursue any responsibilities."

Ye Qingge felt slightly relieved, but her vigilance remained. She asked, "So, what does the Celestial Venerable mean?"

The Primordial Celestial Venerable spoke with a touch of melancholy, saying, "In the endless cycle of reincarnation, the Earth Mother and the heavens have lost their memories of the past, and even my memories have been erased. However, some concepts still remain. The reason I summoned you here is because of something left behind by someone like you who came from the future."

Ye Qingge looked puzzled, then thought of the information she had learned from other possessed beings about the transcendents. According to her understanding, a group of transcendents had entered the Dragon-Han era, but their fate was unknown.

The strength of the transcendent beings will only be stronger than Ye Qingge's current strength. They can easily suppress both innate and acquired beings. It is unknown how they compare to the strength of the three gods: Earth Mother Yuanjun, Heavenly God Lord, and Primordial Heavenly Venerable. However, meeting the three gods would not be difficult, so it is normal for them to have some plans.

She couldn't help but show a look of curiosity.

Yuanshi Tianzun made no attempt to conceal anything, and with a flick of his hand, a divine light burst forth from his fingertip, enveloping Ye Qingge within it.

The light barrier didn't last long. When the light dissipated, Ye Qingge didn't notice any changes in herself and looked at Yuanshi Tianzun in confusion.

Yuanshi Tianzun shook his head and said, "The specific details have long been erased in the cycle of reincarnation. As for what changes have occurred, you will have to experience it for yourself."

Ye Qingge nodded knowingly, and after subtly inquiring about a few things that might be related to the origin of the demonic seed from the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, she took her leave.

……

……

Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Since their summons ten years ago, the three gods seemed to have forgotten about Ye Qingge and had not summoned her again.

Ye Qingge was happy to relax and focused her energy on cultivation and finding possible information about the origin of the demonic seed. As for teaching cultivation, the time spent on it decreased as time went on.

The cultivation of acquired spiritual techniques taught by Ye Qingge follows the old system. The acquired spiritual elites who can be selected are not bad in all aspects, and can even be described as extremely strong. After the initial teaching, they all cultivate with ease.

Under the systematic cultivation techniques taught by Ye Qingge, they have steadily progressed past the Dao Realm in ten years. The strongest among them have even reached the fifth level of the Dao Realm. With their original strength, they can even fight against the Demon Ancestor.

The average strength of the entire post-natal elite beings is rapidly increasing. Their average combat power is now comparable to that of the innate beings described by the Demon Ancestor, and even surpasses it above peak combat power, exceeding the innate beings for the first time.

Ye Qingge's cultivation level also improved rapidly during this period.

The more information Ye Qingge gathered about the origin of the demonic seed and the more complete and feasible the plan she constructed in her mind, the more aligned she became with the Dao. As a result, Ye Qingge's cultivation improved faster. Even though it was much slower than the cultivation speed during the possession period, she still reached the eighth ring level after ten years.

"Just one step away from the ultimate realm!"

In the city, Ye Qingge awoke from her cultivation and exhaled a breath of turbid air: "If I were to place the other possession targets, they would be close to completing the possession mission by now. All I need to do is finish up and put my ideas into practice to reach the ultimate realm. After a period of time to accumulate and perfect my ideas, I will be able to achieve transcendence."

"But given my situation... I don't know how long it will take to get to this point."

As long as the crisis is not resolved, Ye Qingge will not be able to transcend, and her greatest danger lies in the origin of the demonic seed. However, there are far too few transcendent beings to defeat the origin of the demonic seed...

This led to a vicious cycle. Fighting against the source of the demonic seed was extremely difficult. Ye Qingge's cultivation improved very quickly, but that was all. She was still far from achieving true transcendence.

bang bang

As Ye Qingge was deep in thought, a knock on the door interrupted her. Opening the door, she saw a female elite of the acquired beings with blue wings standing respectfully at the door. She said, "Lord Ling has arrived in the city. The Holy War is about to begin. Lord Ling has ordered me to escort you, Lord Ye."

The so-called holy war is a war between acquired beings and innate beings.

Ye Qingge's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and she nodded, saying, "I understand."

For the past ten years, she had not obtained anything that might be related to the birth of the Demon Seed's origin. The possibility of it being born during this Holy War was greatly increased, making her look forward to it.

The newly born elite smiled slightly, its body swaying as it transformed into a giant azure phoenix appearing before Ye Qingge. With a slight bow of its head, Ye Qingge sat on its back, and the phoenix flapped its wings and flew away into the distance.

A moment later

In the center of the city, the phoenix carrying Ye Qingge arrived at breakneck speed. As soon as it landed, the demon ancestor, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them and said in a solemn voice, "The time is approaching. Since everyone has arrived, let's set off."

Chapter 223 A Twisted Era, the Birth of the Demonic Seed

Longhan Heavenly Palace

The battle between the innate and the acquired is hailed as a holy war for a reason. It signifies the power dynamics between the Earth Mother and the Celestial God in the Dragon Han Heavenly Palace over the next century. In contrast, the Primordial Celestial Venerable is more like a referee, quietly observing the contest between the two sides.

Led by the Demon Ancestor, elite beings born after birth gathered in the Heavenly Palace, while on the other side was Ling's team of beings born after birth. The two sides converged at the East Heavenly Gate of the Heavenly Palace. Before they even met, they unleashed their auras, intending to severely dampen each other's momentum before the battle began.

This is also a strength assessment before a major battle. It is very effective in both deceiving the opponent and assessing the opponent's strength, and can be considered an essential process before a major battle.

This was also the first time Ye Qingge had truly understood the strength of the innate gods and demons of the Dragon-Han era.

Ling's strength can be considered to be at the extreme level. In addition, he has five innate gods and demons with the aura of the fifth level of the Dao Realm under his command. He has more than seventy innate gods and demons at the fourth level, and the rest are at the third level.

However, these were all just the surface auras that Ye Qingge didn't know about their actual combat strength. There were also two innate gods and demons at the fifth level who concealed their auras and disguised themselves as gods and demons at the third level. Some gods and demons at the fourth level also concealed their auras, but they could not hide it from Ye Qingge's eyes.

As one of the grand events for both acquired and innate beings, both sides dispatched thousands of people. With such combat power, in the past, it would have been an absolute suppression, and it would have been almost impossible to win without a miracle.

But this time it's different.

After Ye Qingge spread the acquired cultivation techniques, in ten years, this group of acquired elite beings reached the realm of immortals and gods. Combined with their original methods, the power they unleashed was by no means much weaker than that of innate gods and demons.

As the two forces drew near, Ling's expression clearly changed several times, but he concealed it well, standing expressionlessly to the side.

When the two forces gather at the East Heavenly Gate

The Dragon Han Heavenly Palace trembled violently. Yuanshi Tianzun opened his eyes, and the figures of Dimu Yuanjun and Shangcang Shenjun appeared on the other two sides. They used secret techniques similar to Dharma bodies, and their bodies swelled to the same size as Yuanshi Tianzun. They all looked over, making Ye Qingge feel immense pressure.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the time for the holy war, which comes once every hundred years, has arrived once again."

The calm and indifferent voice of the Primordial Celestial Venerable spread out, seemingly implying something: "This Holy War has many more unfamiliar faces than in the past, so I will reiterate the rules of the Holy War once again."

"Holy War is not about life or death. Victory can be achieved by either side surrendering, leaving only one side on the battlefield, or driving the other side out of the heavens."

"The location of the Holy War will be determined randomly. I will randomly select a heaven where living beings reside as the Holy War battlefield. Once you enter the heaven, the positions of all living beings will be undetermined. What you can achieve depends entirely on your strength."

"The winners will decide the development decisions for the next hundred years, while the losers will have their voice diminished..."

"..."

"The rules are as follows. Do you all find them meaningful?"

Despite the questioning tone, the words of the Primordial Celestial Venerable carried an undeniable air of authority, and no one present uttered a sound.

The Earth Mother and the Celestial God looked over and nodded slightly. The Primordial Heavenly Lord's eyes suddenly shone with divine light as he said, "Since none of you have any objections, then the Holy War... shall begin here!"

The three supreme gods attacked simultaneously, and the pressure, far exceeding that of ordinary transcendent beings, swept over. Ye Qingge felt the scene before her eyes changing rapidly, bizarre and fantastical, just like the scene she had seen in the concept of time. Countless senses were fading away at a rapid pace, and in a short moment, she lost all her senses.

After her senses returned, a hazy gray world appeared in Ye Qingge's field of vision.

She moved her body to make sure that her body and senses had not encountered any problems when she arrived in this world before focusing her attention on the world before her.

Unlike the ordinary heavens, this heaven gave Ye Qingge a very special feeling. It was like a chaotic and unknown world. The ground under his feet was perfectly flat, and there were no waves or undulations in sight. There were no mountains or rivers, and no other strange phenomena.

The sky was always a hazy gray, without the sun, moon, and stars hanging in the sky, or the brilliant Milky Way flowing around; there was only an unknown mist flowing around like a fog.

"This realm...something is very wrong!"

Each of the myriad worlds has its own unique characteristics, yet in this particular world, Ye Qingge felt an indescribable sense of unease rising from her heart.

She frowned slightly, her consciousness spreading out. On one hand, she sensed and adapted to the rules of this realm, making subtle adjustments to herself to better fit the rules of this realm. On the other hand, she used the divine power and technique that she had agreed upon with the Demon Ancestor long ago, transforming into a beam of light and rushing in a certain direction.

The location of one's descent into this realm of gods is random, but there is no rule that the method of communication cannot be agreed upon in advance.

This realm of heavens did not seem as large as imagined. In less than a minute of his escape, Ye Qingge encountered two ordinary innate gods.

He casually banished them from the heavens, but just as he was about to encounter the third innate god, a sudden change occurred!

An indescribable malice suddenly struck. Ye Qingge quickly changed direction, leaping nearly a hundred meters to the side before finally seeing the appearance of this malice.

This was a uniquely shaped cloud of black mist, a faint shade of inky black, but not quite completely black. The mist was about forty or fifty cubic meters in size, spreading out from where Ye Qingge had originally been traveling, and its volume was still expanding. If Ye Qingge hadn't reacted in time, she would likely have collided with it head-on.

If someone in this era were to encounter such evil thoughts, they might be affected by them, but for Ye Qingge, it was nothing. Her righteous energy erupted, easily purifying the evil thoughts.
