Kyushu, in the Moon Temple.
Fang Xiu began his seclusion, and thanks to Taotie's selfless dedication, he successfully obtained the power of angels.
Forbidden and ominous angelic power was frantically poured into the false angelic decree within his body. In an instant, holy light surged, and the holy pupil in his left eye opened uncontrollably, shining as brightly as the sun!
Several days later, under the effect of accelerated time, the false angelic decree slowly transformed into a true angelic decree.
"Is this the power of angels?" Fang Xiu calmly stared at his palm, where a dazzling holy light quietly condensed, carrying a terrifying power that could dissolve everything.
He casually took out a top-grade immortal artifact known for its defense—the Nine Heavens Mystic Light Shield.
The power of holy light was blasted onto the Nine Heavens Mystic Light Shield. Boom!
With a sound of annihilation, the Nine Heavens Mystic Light Shield melted at a speed visible to the naked eye, eventually turning into ashes.
"With such power in a casual strike, the angel's attack power is among the best of all the strange gods."
Each of the strange gods has different abilities. Taotie is a devourer, while the Black Lotus of the Other Shore is an avatar. Although both are very powerful, they have different focuses. In terms of attack power, the angels are the best to watch.
"Next is the power of the God of Happiness. Taotie was beaten up and is moving even slower, so we need to urge it on."
Fang Xiu was very dissatisfied with Taotie's efficiency, so he began to brainwash Taotie again. As his clone, Taotie could hear his voice even though it was far away on the other side.
However, he had heard too much of the usual brainwashing tactics, so he changed his approach.
"Spicy rabbit head, braised rabbit meat, cold pot rabbit, rabbit skewers, stewed rabbit meat, rabbit soup..."
He transmitted a complete list of one hundred ways to cook rabbits into Taotie's brain.
Having always eaten bizarre gluttons, he had never seen such a rich diet before. For a moment, his mind was filled with images of rabbits, and he quickened his pace.
After inspiring the Taotie, Fang Xiu entered a meditative state again, beginning to condense the Moon's Decree. This decree was the most difficult to condense because...
"Jiang Mengyue, I want to gather the laws of the moon."
"What!? Fang Lang, you want to have a double cultivation with me?" Jiang Mengyue appeared out of nowhere in the quiet room, her face full of shyness.
Fang Xiu gazed at her calmly and said indifferently, "There's no need for dual cultivation. You just need to channel your power into my body."
Jiang Mengyue was greatly disappointed, biting her lower lip lightly: "But the efficiency of transferring power is not as good as dual cultivation, and it is easy to affect one's foundation. Fang Lang, I'm afraid..."
"It's alright, I have the Taotie Law, I can devour directly."
Fang Xiu knew perfectly well that the foundation-affecting incident was merely a lie told by Jiang Mengyue.
"But...but..."
"Shut up! Do as I say."
Jiang Mengyue pouted and, looking aggrieved, poured her power into Fang Xiu's body.
Several days later.
A brand new Moon Law was formed. Fang Xiu did not spend much time forming the Moon Law, even though it was readily available.
What he sought was power, the power to exact revenge; otherwise, he could have become a god long ago.
With his divine status and the support of the Moon Goddess, becoming a god would not have been difficult for him, but he chose the most difficult, yet also the strongest, path.
Soon, Taotie successfully completed its mission, but was severely beaten by the God of Happiness. It didn't get to eat the rabbit meat, but it did get to gnaw on a few rabbit furs and also gained the power of the God of Happiness.
Fang Xiu repeated his previous actions, borrowing the power of the God of Happiness that the Taotie had devoured, and then began to refine it.
The power of the God of Happiness is very strange. He had seen the God of Happiness make a move several times, but he could not figure out the essence of the God of Happiness's power.
Because the God of Happiness's attack method is to make people laugh, laugh to the point of madness, or even go insane.
After he successfully refined the power of the God of Happiness, he immediately realized the true nature of its power—a curse!
The power of the God of Happiness is a curse!
A cursed decree was quietly residing within Fang Xiu's body, emanating an eerie and ominous aura.
"So it was the power of a curse. It seems that the eerie smile that was spreading among the enemies was a manifestation of the curse."
The power of curses is bizarre and comes in many forms, including curses of weakness, curses of immortality, curses of bloodlust, curses of death, and so on...
However, the God of Happiness's favorite technique is the Curse of Laughter.
The Curse of Laughter puts people into a state of excitement, which intensifies over time. As is well known, excessive excitement depletes mental energy, and the Curse of Laughter uses this to kill.
Those under the spell will become increasingly excited, their spirit will burn rapidly, and they will eventually die from exhaustion of their spirit. During the process, they will also be accompanied by negative states such as confusion and inability to distinguish friend from foe.
Therefore, it seems that Xi Shen is not strong in direct combat, but her methods are unpredictable, making her most suitable for scheming against people.
This made Fang Xiu even more eager for the decrees of the other strange gods, but when he urged Taotie, he found that Taotie's condition was not good.
He was lying on the other side, laughing loudly, eating strange things as he laughed, and his body was getting smaller and smaller as he ate, as if flames were burning wildly on his body.
Fang Xiu frowned slightly: "It seems that the Curse of Laughter will last for a while on Taotie. This state of excitement cannot be commanded at all. We can only wait until Taotie recovers before continuing."
He wasn't worried about Taotie's mental state at all. A complete glutton, no matter how chaotic his mental state was, couldn't change his gluttonous nature. As for whether Taotie would die? That was even more impossible. If it were that easy to die, it would have died eight hundred times over.
However, Taotie's temporary leave did disrupt his cultivation plan.
Unable to fleece the evil god for the time being, he had no choice but to turn his attention to the immortals and gods of the Nine Provinces.
........
........
The Nine Provinces, the Heavenly Court.
Fang Xiu arrived at the Heavenly Court with ease and met the Nine Provinces Immortals and Gods, led by Yama. He made no attempt at formalities and directly stated his purpose.
"I need to borrow your power to bring together the laws."
Yan Luo frowned immediately and gave Fang Xiu a deep look, as if trying to guess his purpose.
The hot-tempered Giant Spirit God sneered, "Fang Xiu, haven't you always looked down on us immortals and gods? How come you've ended up begging us for help?"
Fang Xiu calmly surveyed the crowd and said indifferently, "I am not asking you for anything, but giving you an order."
The faces of everyone instantly darkened.
"Insolence! By what right do you command us immortals and gods?"
"Fang Xiu, we immortals and gods respect your contributions to the Nine Provinces, but don't push your luck! We can't kill you, but can you kill us?"
Faced with the condemnation of the gods, Fang Xiu calmly called out, "Jiang Mengyue."
"Hey, Fang Lang, did you call me?" A figure dressed in white, with unparalleled elegance, appeared out of nowhere.
"Go to the other shore."
"Okay." Jiang Mengyue giggled and then turned to head towards the other side.
Yan Luo and the others were immediately terrified.
"No!"
"Everything can be discussed!"
"Fang Xiu, you're going too far. We didn't say we wouldn't give it to you."
In the end, the gods compromised, each giving Fang Xiu a portion of their power for him to comprehend.
