"How dare you!"
"Stop your insolence!"
"Fang Xiu, this is a great opportunity. As long as you help the Moon Goddess become a god, it will be equivalent to proving that you are devoted to the Nine Provinces. We gods will certainly not pursue your possession of the Demon God's divine status in the future."
In an instant, figures of various shapes appeared on the other stars: a giant spirit god dressed in golden armor and attire, a celestial being in a Taoist robe and holding a whisk, a man with two horns and black scale armor, a man in a fiery robe with hair burning like flames...
Jiang Mengyue was the only one missing; she was clearly still in seclusion.
Some of them angrily rebuked Fang Xiu, while others acted as peacemakers, urging Fang Xiu to compromise.
Yama's gaze darkened slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Fang Xiu, we are not begging you. You should know that it is not necessary for the Moon Goddess to become a god. Although the gods of the Nine Provinces cannot take action, the demon gods cannot enter the Nine Provinces either. As long as we gods give an order, countless demigods will rush to the aid of us, and the divine messengers who have inherited part of the divine power will also take action."
They are capable of handling any crisis, so you need to think carefully. We are giving you a chance; don't make a mistake.
After hearing these words, Fang Xiu laughed until tears almost came out. What he found most ridiculous was not the other party's words, but the matter-of-fact expression on the faces of the gods of the Nine Provinces, as if they had given him a great favor. Their inexplicable confidence was laughable.
"You... you really are used to being high and mighty. Do you all think that people in this world should obey your orders, and that anyone who receives a gift from the gods should be trembling with fear and accepting it with joy?"
Have you forgotten that the so-called gods are now nothing more than stray dogs, driven to the Nine Provinces by demons, hiding here and afraid to go out?
I really don't understand, gods, what are you so proud of when you're in such a sorry state?
"What the hell are you bunch of useless trash barking about?!"
The gods' expressions instantly turned extremely ugly, and some of the more short-tempered gods even began to gather their divine power, preparing to take action.
Fang Xiu arrogantly surveyed the gods, his gaze disdainful, and said, word by word, "You bunch of trash, remember this: I will help Jiang Mengyue become a god, but this has nothing to do with you, or even the entire Nine Provinces. She is my person, so naturally I will help her."
Not only that, I will also help Fang Yao become a god in the future, and the day I become a god will be the day I overthrow you old gods.
In my eyes, your only purpose is to serve as eight divine essence storage devices.
"Keep your divine status safe, I'll come and collect it!"
His resounding words echoed throughout the universe and resonated among the gods.
The gods were beyond furious. When had they, so high and mighty, ever suffered such an insult? To be pointed at and cursed by an ant who was not even a god?
They can tolerate demons, but they absolutely cannot tolerate Fang Xiu.
At this moment, the atmosphere between the two sides was almost frozen.
Just as the gods were about to speak, a burst of silver light suddenly erupted from the dim moon and stars. Immediately afterwards, a graceful and aloof woman dressed in a moon-white robe appeared, her face full of surprise as she said, "Fang Lang, did I hear that right? You just said I'm yours?"
She stammered excitedly, "I...I...I'm so touched, I..."
"Go back to your cultivation!" Fang Xiu said, frowning.
"Moon Goddess, you mustn't come out at this crucial time! Go back now!" the gods of the Nine Provinces exclaimed in alarm.
Jiang Mengyue suddenly became the target of everyone's criticism, and couldn't help but pout and stomp her foot: "Hmph!"
Then, with an air of arrogance, she turned and disappeared.
Without the distraction of being lovestruck, the two continued their standoff, allowing the atmosphere to build up again.
A moment later, Yanluo's eyes flashed with killing intent as he said, "Fang Xiu, your power of time is indeed very strong, but do you really think we can't do anything to you?"
To tell you the truth, your life and death have always been in our hands!
The Nine Provinces Grand Array, also known as the Zhou Tian Star Array, can isolate time, space, and even all forces in the world!
We considered your cultivation journey difficult and recognized your potential, so we were reluctant to kill you. However, since you remain obstinate, don't blame us for being ruthless.
"Oh? Finally, something new? Come on, let me see the true power of the gods of the Nine Provinces!" Fang Xiu sneered.
A chilling glint flashed in Yanluo's eyes. He glanced at the star where Jiang Mengyue was, then at Fang Yao beside Fang Xiu, and finally decided to make his move.
In fact, if he hadn't been constantly worried about Jiang Mengyue and Fang Yao, he would never have given Fang Xiu any chance.
With a wave of his hand, the star where Jiang Mengyue was located vanished instantly, along with Fang Yao, who also disappeared.
An interested look appeared in Fang Xiu's eyes. The power of the Zhou Tian Star Array was indeed peculiar, worthy of blocking the erosion of the entire other shore.
"Fang Xiu, I'm giving you one last chance, if you're willing..."
"How annoying! So indecisive, no wonder the demon god blocked him in Kyushu and he dared not go out. Oh, I almost forgot, not Kyushu, but eight provinces."
"Stubborn to the end!"
Yama's expression turned completely cold, and he immediately took action.
The other gods then attacked simultaneously, and dazzling divine light suddenly burst forth from the eight enormous stars. The light spread, triggering a chain reaction that transmitted layer by layer.
In the universe, more and more stars are emitting light, and they are connected to form an ancient and mysterious array.
In an instant, the entire universe was illuminated!
But the moment the great formation was completed, everything changed.
Fang Xiu discovered that his time-manipulation ability had failed, and he was unable to sense the existence of the River of Time. He had even lost his ability to act as a human-shaped walking clock, so he could no longer tell time.
Everything here is isolated—time, space, the five elements, and so on...
It's like an absolute realm where there's no concept of time or space, nothing at all except the physical body!
Eight deities slowly emerged from their respective stars, their figures majestic, their aura boundless, standing tall in the universe, gazing down at the starry sky, looking down upon the heavens!
Yanluo said calmly, "This is the sealing ability of the Zhou Tian Star Array. It can even seal time, so you can't use any power here, only your physical body remains."
Fang Xiu, you can never be brought back to life.
The eight gods stared indifferently at Fang Xiu, their eyes icy cold, as if they were looking at a dead man.
However, facing the immense pressure from the eight deities, Fang Xiu's lips curled into a sinister smile: "So, you can't be resurrected here either, right?"
He could sense that the Zhou Tian Star Array not only sealed all his power, but also the power of the gods. This array created an absolute domain, and everyone within it was sealed off.
