The River God was quite puzzled by your actions. You claimed that the threat from the Dragon King's Palace still existed and that we still had to be on guard. If they dared to pursue us, you could enter the Death Zone and kill them with its magical powers.

The River God suddenly realized this and had no objection. He admired your caution, but as time went on, Shen Qingzhu gradually began to have doubts.

At the age of twenty-eight, Chen Qingzhu took advantage of your unpreparedness and secretly revealed to the River God that you possessed the complete Investiture of the Gods. Since the Heavenly Palace was now deserted, if you ascended to heaven with the Investiture of the Gods, you would surely gain the opportunity to attain enlightenment, and even regain the authority of the Heavenly Emperor.

The River God pondered this, then asked Shen Qingzhu what his plan was. Shen Qingzhu smiled slyly and said that the River God was a pitiful person who didn't even realize his death was imminent.

Upon hearing this, the River God immediately showed a hint of anger, but he suppressed his displeasure and continued to inquire. Then Shen Qingzhu made a startling statement, claiming that this had all been your conspiracy from the beginning. You were attempting to sacrifice the River God on the Path to Heaven, and then ascend to heaven alone with the List of Conferred Gods, seeking the opportunity to attain enlightenment.

The River God was skeptical. Just as he was about to harm you, Shen Qingzhu suddenly stopped him and claimed that you had the means to destroy the Investiture of the Gods. Doing so would only alert the enemy. You might as well take advantage of the situation and seize the Investiture of the Gods at a critical moment. Then, with the Investiture of the Gods, you will surely ascend to the heavens unimpeded.

Chen Qingzhu turns around and finds you again, claiming that the River God has evil intentions towards the Conferred God List you have. You might as well use their trick to trick the River God onto the Heavenly Road, where you can easily kill him.

When He Changsheng saw this, he was shocked. He now needed to re-examine this woman Shen Qingzhu.

This was the first time that the other party showed such scheming. He had underestimated the other party before.

At this time, He Changsheng had many doubts in his mind. Why was Shen Qingzhu's mind so erratic? He had deliberately guided him to the sacred mountain at the beginning, but then these simulations suddenly stopped.

And this time when he came to the Yaochi fairyland, he suddenly became interested in the sacred mountain, which is really puzzling.

He Changsheng has no idea about this now, but it doesn’t matter.

The reason why he didn't kill Shen Qingzhu as soon as possible in these simulations was that he wanted to see what the other party was planning.

Otherwise, killing Shen Qingzhu in such an unclear way would be too easy for the other party.

And his intuition told him that there must be important information he needed.

Of course, on the other hand, he was still restrained by the Dragon King Palace, which made him somewhat unable to take care of it.

You ponder for a moment, then claim that the Conferred Gods List is still missing one final fragment, and that it's in the hands of the Dragon King Palace. If she can find it for you, you might want to take her with you to explore the Heavenly Palace.

Chen Qingzhu's expression changed slightly, and she remained silent for a long time. She was about to give up, but then she thought of the river god watching covetously from a distance, and she had no choice but to take a risk, claiming that she only needed to forge the last missing fragment to achieve her goal of concealing the truth.

You think this is a risky move, but the River God suddenly pushes for it. After a moment's deliberation, you finally agree.

[You took out all the fragments of the Investiture of the Gods and secretly showed them to her. With Shen Qingzhu's covert forgery, you successfully forged the Investiture of the Gods, and on the surface, it looked flawless.]

You all headed towards the sacred mountain together. Under the protection of the river god, you had a smooth journey and soon reached the Thousand Stone Steps. Then you were stopped by the silver-armored man.

[The silver-armored man and the river god were engaged in a fierce battle. During this time, the river god looked at Shen Qingzhu with a questioning expression, but Shen Qingzhu ignored it and pulled you and Yuan Jing some distance away, avoiding the fight between them.]

【River God, died.】

[You now take out the Investiture of the Gods. The silver-armored man sees this and is immediately horrified. Shen Qingzhu takes advantage of this opportunity to claim that the Heavenly Court suffered a devastating disaster tens of thousands of years ago, and even such a valuable treasure as the Investiture of the Gods was lost in the human world. You have brought back the Investiture of the Gods this time to determine the fate of the Heavenly Court.]

[The river god that was just killed by the silver-armored man is actually the evil god who coerced you and attempted to covet the position of the common master of heaven and earth.]

The silver-armored man believed it, and Shen Qingzhu spoke again, "I hope you will trouble the gods to lead you to higher stone steps."

[The silver-armored man had no objection to this. You will soon reach the golden palace on the 2,000th step.]

You chose to repeat your old trick, but the golden-armored man immediately saw through the flaws in the Conferred God List. He then determined that you were people with ulterior motives, intent on harming the Heavenly Court, and decisively killed you all.

He Changsheng frowned slightly. The strength of this golden-armored man was extraordinary. Even the Goddess of Yao Chi was no match for him before. Now he could see through the forged List of Gods.

It's really difficult.

But the result this time was not unexpected to him. He knew very well that the road to success was not that simple.

If one could reach the top just by relying on the forged List of Gods, then the road to heaven would be too hasty.

[At the end of this simulation, you can choose one of the following rewards.]

[The whereabouts of everyone in Xiaohe Village.]

[The Dragon King's reaction in this simulation.]

[A forged fragment of the Investiture of the Gods.]

He Changsheng actually wanted to choose the Dragon King's reaction, but this would not help him much in dealing with the Dragon King Palace.

Since the Dragon King Palace did not continue the pursuit, it was probably because they were afraid of the Goddess of Yao Chi in the Yao Chi fairyland.

As for the reaction...it's nothing more than anger, frustration, surprise and other emotions.

It's impossible to be happy.

It was actually very simple for him to break the deadlock next. He just needed to kill Shen Qingzhu as soon as possible and then hide in the Yaochi fairyland. This way, he would be safe.

......

Next, more than a month passed in a flash.

He Changsheng did not continue the simulation during this period. From what he said in the simulation, the river god was relatively easy to control.

During this time, monks continued to enter, but they soon stopped laughing when they saw the scene before them.

He Changsheng didn't pay much attention to them, as they were all insignificant people anyway.

Not long.

Suddenly, a flash of light appeared at the entrance of the passage, and a Mahayana cultivator entered.

Who else could it be but the envoy from the Dragon King Palace?

He Changsheng immediately said, "Senior, this is the person."

The River God's eyes turned slightly, and he raised his hand to deliver a fatal blow. Even though the River God had been extremely cautious throughout, he had no way to avoid the absolute strength at this moment.

He was killed on the spot by the river god.

The River God raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised, and asked, "Just this one person has forced you into this situation?"

In his opinion, the strength of the person chasing him was just so-so. If He Changsheng tried his best, he might be able to fight.
