Yama handed over two portions, because the essence of his power is death!
After learning the true nature of Yama's power, Fang Xiu immediately asked for an extra portion.
He knew death all too well; it was, apart from pain, the law that best suited him.
Upon returning to the Moon Goddess Temple, he immediately began refining Yama's power. The deathly divine power entered his body, making him feel a sense of familiarity, as if he had known him countless times before.
He refined it almost instantly, and even applied the knowledge to other situations, condensing four death decrees in succession.
He then began to compile other laws, but this time it was much slower.
......
........
Cultivation knows no time; twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Fang Xiu slowly awoke from his cultivation. His aura grew increasingly terrifying, as if a group of gods and demons were lurking within him, making it impossible for anyone to look directly at him.
"It still failed."
He immersed his consciousness within his body, trying to find the root of the problem.
At this moment, within his body, one hundred and eight laws were embedded, arranged according to some mysterious and profound rules, like one hundred and eight dazzling stars, shining brightly.
Over the course of twenty years, Fang Xiu not only refined the power of all the gods in the Nine Provinces, but also incidentally refined the power of the demon god from the other side.
His laws now encompass everything, including divine laws, demonic laws, and special laws.
He had long since reached the level of Immortal Emperor, but he was stuck at the level of Demigod.
This was his eleventh failed attempt to break through to demigod status. He had tried various methods and consulted numerous ancient texts, but still failed.
The normal breakthrough to demigod status involves combining all ordinary laws in a specific order and ultimately fusing them into a single divine law.
However, almost all of his laws are divine laws, which cannot be merged together at all. Each time he forcibly merges them, his cultivation will be damaged at best, and he will self-destruct at worst.
"How can I break through to the demigod level?" Fang Xiu was puzzled. After thinking about it for a long time, he finally remembered a person, or more accurately, a maggot.
So he immediately set off for the other side to find the Kunlun maggot.
Just as he left Kyushu, Yama and others secretly gathered together in the Heavenly Court.
"Gentlemen, what do you think of Fang Xiu?" Yama asked the gods.
"You're not a human being!"
"His eyes are lifeless!"
"Unruly and rebellious!"
A string of derogatory terms came from the mouths of the gods, clearly indicating that they held a deep grudge against Fang Xiu.
Indeed, the gods of the Nine Provinces have controlled the Nine Provinces for many years and are used to being high above. Now they have encountered a mortal who is not even a god and who shows contempt for the dignity of the gods. How can they not be angry?
Yama nodded: "Everyone knows Fang Xiu's character very well, and you can see that he is constantly gathering divine decrees. You should know that he is not yet a demigod, but all the decrees he is gathering are divine decrees. It is conceivable that once this person becomes a god, he will probably immediately become one of the top true gods!"
At that time..
His tone suddenly turned somber, and he said heavily, "We will have nowhere to stand! We have been building up our Nine Provinces for many years, and in time we will probably have to change hands."
Giant Spirit God and the others also had solemn expressions. They naturally knew that what Yama said was true. Fang Xiu was arrogant and unruly. He was not even a demigod and yet he disrespected the gods. If he really became a god one day, they would definitely lose control of the Nine Provinces and even suffer oppression.
This is unacceptable to them.
Seeing that people's hearts were at ease, Yama continued, "Everyone, I am not greedy for power. The position of the Lord of Heaven should be held by the capable. It's just that Fang Xiu is capable but lacks virtue. Once he becomes a god, he will definitely advocate attacking the other shore. At that time, ten thousand years of peace will be destroyed in an instant, and in the end, even the Nine Provinces may be destroyed in his hands."
"Indeed, the Nine Provinces belong to all people. We gods have worked so hard to maintain this peace, and we will not allow anyone to destroy it or plunge the people into misery!" the Giant Spirit God declared righteously.
“That may be true, but Fang Xiu’s rise is unstoppable. He is too extreme. If we push him too hard, he will definitely send the Moon Goddess to her death. At that time, the Zhou Tian Star Array will have a flaw, and the Nine Provinces will be in danger,” Venerable Gan Tian said worriedly.
Yama smiled slightly: "So I plan to tell him the ancient secrets. Isn't he determined to eradicate evil? Then so be it."
The gods' expressions shifted, and one of them exclaimed in shock, "Do you want him to go to that place?"
Yama nodded: "Exactly."
"No!" Xingjun exclaimed, "That place is too dangerous. Even Fang Xiu, who possesses the power of time, would have a hard time surviving."
The Giant Spirit God sneered, "What? You can't bear to see him die?"
“I’m not afraid of his death, but of the moon goddess.”
"You're afraid the Moon Goddess will die? Have you forgotten that we can use the Zhou Tian Star Array to isolate the Heavenly Dao curse and save the Moon Goddess's life?"
The Star Lord sighed helplessly: "It's not that I'm worried about the Moon Goddess dying. Have you ever thought about it? The Moon Goddess is now completely devoted to Fang Xiu. If Fang Xiu dies, do you think the Moon Goddess will go crazy? Will she think that we killed Fang Xiu?"
Or what if the Moon Goddess insists on forcing her way into that place to avenge Fang Xiu?
Fang Xiu can die, but the Moon Goddess cannot be harmed, unless…”
"Unless what?"
"Unless a new god can replace the moon goddess."
The gods' eyes dimmed slightly. In fact, they had long disliked the Moon Goddess. As gods, she listened to a mortal in everything and had no divine dignity. They were ashamed to be associated with Jiang Mengyue.
If there were other options, they would never have chosen the Moon Goddess.
Seeing that the plan to eliminate Fang Xiu had reached a stalemate, Yan Luo brought everyone some good news.
