"The situation is turning grim," one said.
"Hasn't it always been like this?" came the reply.
...
Eagles soar through the sky, fish dart in the shallow waters,...
Rumble!
The stars could not spread out in the "dense forest" at all; they were dissolved as soon as they touched the branches.
From time to time, streaks of light would sweep across the branches, sweeping away any means or attacks the players might use!
As long as your abilities are inferior to Li Changzhou's, and your items are below S-rank, the Primordial Divine Tree will crush you!
"Lord Beromo, please make a move!" the player cried out in terror.
Beromo's expression was equally grave as he reached out and removed a skull from his chest: "Everyone, protect me, I need time!"
He was forced to the point that he had no energy left to use his skull.
"kill!"
"Protect Beromor!"
The crowd used their flesh and blood to shield Beromor, like ants rolling into a ball in a sea of fire.
But it didn't work.
A thin twig swept across, and everything in its path was cut down.
Ascending along the branches, in space, on the divine tree, a blade within a Dao flower glowed with a pale gold hue, releasing a chilling light.
"ah--"
The players were piled up into a ball and then cut in half at the waist, with Beromo's body in the center also split in two.
"Fortunately, it's just physical damage; I'm not dead, and I can still—"
Before Beromo could even feel relieved, his consciousness was plunged into eternal darkness.
Slaying Blade: Kills all who encounter it, slays all who see it, an S-rank item.
The branches fell, brushing away the four inactive skulls.
In space, before the Primordial Divine Tree, inside the Talisman Palace.
Li Changzhou flicked his sleeve, and four skulls appeared on the table in front of him.
The useless old Taoist, Phoenix, witch, goddess, and living Buddha were still in shock, staring dumbfounded at the divine tree in space and the branches hanging down in the atmosphere.
That's terrifying.
The planet has become a tiny, insignificant place! Like a chicken coop, players are at the mercy of the slaughter!
"Hey!" Bi poked Li Qianxia with her thin arm. "Your brother is that amazing now?"
“I’m about the same.” Li Qianxia raised her chin.
She pinched Bi's little nose again: "Who told you to slack off after becoming a human immortal? Otherwise you would be just as strong."
Bi crossed her arms, smacked her pink lips, and felt that even lollipops didn't taste good anymore.
"Don't be discouraged," Li Qianxia whispered to her. "This time, I'll have my brother leave you a chance, and you'll be even more amazing than this."
Like an adult, Bi sighed, "I really miss Prague. Back then, your brother could only rely on deception; he was no match for me."
Li Qianxia chuckled twice, and also thought of that city with red roofs and white walls.
Back then, everyone was weak, and my brother drove the horse-drawn carriage, speeding through the city like something out of a blockbuster movie.
“I’ve made up my mind!” Bi suddenly said.
"What decision have you made?"
"After this fusion with the will of heaven, I want to continue teaming up with you!"
"You should think this through. Becoming a saint is very difficult. Being a celestial being is enough for you to grow up happily and live a long life without any worries. Well, if you will die eventually, otherwise there is no such thing as 'living through'."
Her words caused Bi to become conflicted again. She had originally planned to do the same, but Li Changzhou had provoked her.
This shows that the Starry Sky Path is not only an opportunity for powerful individuals like those with the Corpse Bone Gene and Li Changzhou, but also an opportunity for those who are lagging behind to rise to the top and achieve a comeback.
After whispering amongst themselves for a while, Li Qianxia picked up a skull and asked Li Changzhou, "Have you figured out anything?"
While asking the question, he looked down at the skull in his hand.
The official player in charge of Earth—no, the official player in charge of the Earth and the Great Wall of Divine Will region—immediately relayed the information.
【Name: Corpse Bone Gene - Divine Fire】
[Effect: Summons a wisp of divine fire, powerful enough to melt the moon]
[Evaluation: One gene from the Corpse Gene series, a one-time use item]
"So powerful!" Li Qianxia exclaimed in surprise.
“Throughout history, the strongest spiritual seed has probably already been comparable to some celestial beings.” Yaochi put down the skull in her hand.
Each of the four skulls can unleash a planet-level skill once.
“These four are alright,” Yang Qinglan pondered. “If each of this man’s subordinates had five such skulls, his subordinates alone could collect a large amount of divine will for him.”
Li Qianxia's usually sunny and cheerful face couldn't help but turn serious: "With these divine wills, he might have a whole bunch of Heavenly Realm experts as his subordinates."
Li Changzhou is very strong now, but if he weren't a mythical figure from Earth and didn't have the added advantage of pseudo-mythical elements, he wouldn't be a match for any Heavenly Realm expert.
Heavenly rank, ability starts at 100,000!
Yaochi looked thoughtfully at the old Taoist priest and the others, a faint smile playing on her lips.
The crowd hesitated, understanding Yaochi's meaning.
However, players who can become human immortals or earth immortals at this stage are all first-class immortals. Even on the Heavenly Road, they are considered top-notch geniuses. How could such people be willing to casually merge with a will of heaven?
At this moment, Tsukihime, dressed in a red and white shrine maiden outfit, came out and performed a Japanese kneeling bow (dogeza) to the person above her.
Her voice was soft, but her tone was firm: "Your Majesty, Your Highnesses, I am willing to unite with the will of Heaven and dedicate everything to Your Majesty's great cause!"
Yaochi smiled, though it was unclear what she was laughing about: "Very good, tell me what your wish is."
Without hesitation, Yueji directly expressed her long-held request: "Your Majesty and the two empresses, please grant my younger brother a divine position!"
Yaochi looked at Li Changzhou, who was stroking the skull, and revealed a beautiful and alluring smile:
"Whether it's genuine or not, Yueji was the first to step forward, so she deserves a generous reward. I think we can grant her request. What do you think?"
