It turns out that after the Jade Emperor severely injured Zeus and the other two during the battle to seize the Well of Heaven, one of them harbored evil intentions while they were recuperating.
That person was God.
Of the three, Odin was the most seriously injured, while God was the least injured. In order to recover from his injuries as soon as possible, God devoured the angels of Heaven. Then, while Odin was recovering, God launched a preemptive attack on Odin and successfully devoured him.
Later, the news leaked to Zeus, who, in order to protect himself, led Hades, Poseidon, and Satan to attack God, who had not yet fully refined Odin.
He promised Satan that after the deed was done, the source of God would belong to Satan, and he would only want the source of Odin.
In this great battle, God had to divert his power to suppress the backlash from Odin within him, but he was no match for Zeus and others, and ultimately benefited others.
After the deed was done, Zeus unsurprisingly broke the agreement. If he hadn't been so badly injured in the battle, Satan would have been devoured as well.
Satan, who had escaped back to Hell, was naturally unwilling to give up. Coincidentally, Lucifer and others discovered the whereabouts of Sun Wukong, who had not yet awakened, and captured him and offered him to Satan. This led to the subsequent incident where Satan forcibly took over Sun Wukong's soul.
He knew that after Zeus merged with God and Odin, he would surely attempt to reach the realm of the ancient gods, at which point he would have no chance to take revenge. Therefore, he was willing to sacrifice his own soul to seize Sun Wukong's soul and even planned to sacrifice the entire underworld in order to advance further.
Then, he made a wedding dress for Fang Xiu.
Having learned everything, Fang Xiu finally understood the source of his unease: Zeus devoured God, and Odin was striving to become an ancient god. The consequences of such an event were self-evident.
An ancient god may be very strong, but he is not completely invincible. The one who is truly difficult to defeat is his wife, who is sealed in the Well of Heavenly Dao.
After Zeus became an ancient god, who in the world could stop him from opening the seal on the Well of Heaven?
Is my wife about to break free from her confinement?
Upon realizing this, Fang Xiu's eyes turned icy cold; he had to stop Zeus from breaking through.
His figure vanished instantly, arriving at the Lingxiao Palace.
Inside the Lingxiao Palace, the Jade Emperor's clone sat on the dragon throne. His clone was always there because his main body could not leave the Well of Heaven, so he always sent his clone to take charge of the overall situation.
"Young friend Fang, you've emerged from seclusion." Upon seeing Fang Xiu, the Jade Emperor felt a sense of satisfaction and smiled with satisfaction as he sensed the immense aura emanating from him.
After many years, the immortals and gods have finally produced another top expert besides him.
Now that he has consumed too much of his power from the Well of Heavenly Dao, he no longer possesses the fighting strength he once had. The lack of top-tier combat power in the Supreme Heaven is ultimately a huge hidden danger.
Fortunately, Fang Xiu broke through.
With his dual peak cultivation of the Heavenly and the Earthly realms, and his dual cultivation of immortality and demonic arts, coupled with his various divine abilities, he would be a formidable opponent even if Zeus and his two companions were to return one day.
However, Fang Xiu's next words instantly extinguished the Jade Emperor's sense of satisfaction.
"Zeus has devoured God and Odin and is now attacking the realm of the ancient gods."
The Jade Emperor's expression darkened. He did not question the truthfulness of Fang Xiu's words, but instead fell into deep thought.
"Zeus and his two companions have been missing for decades. I never expected that they would take this final step. It seems that it was because I injured them back then."
"It truly is a matter of timing and fate. If I hadn't severely injured them, I wouldn't have been able to seize the Well of Heaven, and the seal would have broken. But severely injuring them, however, gave them the opportunity to devour and merge with each other. Once Zeus breaks through to the Ancient God realm, the seal on the Well of Heaven will still be broken."
Even someone as powerful as the Jade Emperor felt the helplessness of fate at this moment.
Fang Xiu did not dwell on this negative emotion. He calmly said, "Zeus has not yet shown himself, which means he has not yet broken through and there is still a chance."
The Jade Emperor's expression softened slightly, and he solemnly said, "You're right. The most urgent task now is to find Zeus's location and stop him from breaking through. My physical body is already severely weakened, so this matter of deduction can only be entrusted to you and Minister Zhou."
Fang Xiu nodded and then released Zhou Qingfeng, who had been in seclusion.
When Zhou Qingfeng came out and saw the Jade Emperor's solemn expression, he knew that something big was about to happen.
"Judging by the days, I guess you should let me out of the pass. After all, the date I calculated is almost 111 years."
Without wasting any words, Fang Xiu directly told Zhou Qingfeng about Zeus and then worked together to deduce the matter.
In terms of the Way of Destiny, Zhou Qingfeng, who entered the Way of Destiny, is naturally stronger. Moreover, after years of seclusion, his attainments in the Way of Destiny are unmatched in the world. However, the deduction he made was about Zeus's breakthrough to the Ancient God realm, which is difficult for him to do alone.
Then, the two of them used the power of fate together to deduce Zeus's whereabouts.
Splash...
A mighty river of destiny surges forth from nothingness, flowing towards the endless horizon, seemingly eternal and immortal, without beginning or end.
Together they searched for Zeus's whereabouts on the River of Fate, only to discover something incredible: there was no trace of Zeus on the entire River of Fate.
"How is this possible?!" Zhou Qingfeng was shocked, his face showing disbelief: "All things in the world are reflected on the river of fate. Even a stone has its own destiny. How could there be no Zeus?"
And not only the future, but even the past and present are nonexistent.
Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor's gaze darkened: "He has already taken that step."
"Your Majesty, do you mean that Zeus has already surpassed the Ancient Gods?" Zhou Qingfeng asked in a deep voice.
"Ancient gods are the origin of heaven and earth, the masters of all things. They can evolve the universe, create endless things, sever the past and future, transcend fate, be untouched by cause and effect, roam freely in heaven and earth, and be eternally immortal. The reason you cannot deduce him is because he has already entered the realm of ancient gods and severed the past and future." The Jade Emperor's voice became increasingly heavy.
"Since he has already broken through to the Ancient God realm, why hasn't he shown himself yet?" Fang Xiu asked, frowning slightly.
"That's because he hasn't fully stabilized his position in the Ancient God Realm yet. He has reached that realm, but not through his own comprehension. Instead, he relies on external objects, so his realm is unstable and he could fall at any time. That's why he hasn't appeared yet. He's probably desperately trying to stabilize his realm so that his efforts won't be in vain."
"Young friend Fang, this is your last chance. We must find him before his cultivation level stabilizes, otherwise, once he has fully established himself, no one in the world will be able to stop him," the Jade Emperor said to Fang Xiu.
Fang Xiu nodded; he naturally understood such a simple principle.
"Since deduction is useless, we can only use the most direct method."
