Venerable Shenlei, after hearing Qi Yuan's reprimand, lowered his head, wanting to retort but finding no words. The plan was indeed borrowed from the Origin Deity.
"Your plan is not thorough enough, we should go with mine," Qi Yuan said, his gaze fixed on the distant northern lands.
Beams of light shot straight into the sky, with countless new gods cramd into them, fleeing from the Mortal Heart Realm.
The sight left the ancient gods present deeply moved.
Venerable Lishan was equally astonished, never having imagined that one day he would witness such a scene.
Venerable Huanghun, with a complicated expression, said, "I never realized... that we had beco this powerful."
Powerful enough that, before the battle was even over, the remaining enemies had already begun to flee.
"It's not that we're too strong, it's that the Heavenly Lord is too terrifying!" Ancient God Wangsong remarked appropriately, looking at Qi Yuan with great respect.
The other ancient gods turned their gaze towards Qi Yuan. Indeed, Wangsong was right.
Without the Origin Heavenly Lord, they would still be lost in confusion, worrying endlessly about the fate of the Mortal Heart Realm. They wouldn't have been able to scare away the evil gods, let alone launch a counterattack against them.
The changes Qi Yuan had brought to this world were monuntal.
"Fortunately, I'm just a humble cultivator in the Golden Core realm. There's no need to praise so much, it's quite embarrassing," Qi Yuan said, feeling a bit shy. He believed he was just a regular player in a ga, not so mighty God—the real powerhouses were the Three Pure Ones.
The ancient gods were left speechless. Venerable Shenlei, in particular, wanted to tell Qi Yuan, "Stop being so modest—show the sa pride you had when you boasted about your stellar elixir."
Back then, that incident had left Venerable Shenlei completely dumbfounded.
At this mont, Qi Yuan looked at the beams of light and felt a mix of emotions. "These evil gods fleeing have ssed up my plan!"
Originally, his plan had included asures specifically targeting these evil gods. With them fleeing, that part of his plan was now incomplete.
"But fortunately, most of those who escaped were from the evil god stronghold and their military camps. There are still many evil gods stationed in the cities who haven't had ti to flee," Qi Yuan said, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
"We should imdiately take action and sweep across the northern lands, eliminating the remaining gods!" Ancient God Wangsong suggested promptly.
Qi Yuan nodded, "It will be hard work for you all. No ti for a banquet, just keep working. I never thought I’d end up like a capitalist."
The other ancient gods, filled with battle spirit, imdiately took their leave to hunt down the evil gods still lurking in the Mortal Heart Realm.
...
In Huaye City, the atmosphere had been tense ever since the evil god camp was bombed several days ago, with many evil gods coming to investigate.
Huaye City, already chaotic, beca even more fraught with tension.
Inside the Red Leaf Pavilion, Xiao Xing, dressed in a yellow long dress, gazed at the sky. The sky, with its strange mix of blue and faint red, had left her in a daze.
Aunt Liu, standing beside Xiao Xing, patted her on the shoulder and took a deep breath. "Was what we just saw... real?"
Xiao Xing snapped out of her daze, nodding vigorously, her expression a mix of hesitation and excitent. "It was real!"
Too much had happened in just one day. First, the sun fell from the sky, then ca the ocean of lightning and the nine stars hanging in the sky. Such events were far beyond their understanding as re cultivators in the Purple Mansion realm.
Finally, those terrifying beams of light shot into the sky, leaving them more bewildered than ever, unsure of what had just transpired. But they knew it had to be sothing earth-shattering, especially when the evil gods investigating Huaye City saw the beams and fled frantically, muttering, "Wait for !"
The Red Leaf Pavilion, which had been collecting information on the evil gods for the ancient gods for centuries, had an inkling of what this might an. The hearts of all the ancient gods were filled with a mix of emotions.
Just then, a clear voice echoed from outside the room.
"Last ti, I left in a hurry and didn't pay. How about this: I'll treat you all to a banquet."
Outside the room, Qi Yuan stood with a bright smile, speaking softly.
The last ti he and Zhu Zhuangshi had blown up the evil god camp, they had dined and dashed at the Red Leaf Pavilion, sothing that had weighed on Qi Yuan's conscience. Rembering his promise to treat everyone in Huaye City to a feast, he had decided to co back.
The Red Leaf Pavilion had once been the ho of the No-Food Mother, and Qi Yuan thought it might be a good idea to turn it into a morial.
Inside the room, Xiao Xing and Aunt Liu heard the familiar voice, and their eyes widened in surprise.
"Great one!" They hurried to open the door, looking at Qi Yuan with a mix of emotions.
"Great one, you saved Huaye City from the evil gods—how could we possibly ask you for tea money?" Aunt Liu quickly said, her voice trembling slightly.
She looked at Qi Yuan with a heart full of gratitude and awe. In her understanding, Qi Yuan had to be at least a venerable one or higher. The thunderous event at the evil god camp might have been connected to the recent lightning ocean.
How could she not be amazed?
"I have another reason for coming here. Would you consider selling the Red Leaf Pavilion to ?" Qi Yuan asked gently.
He was considering turning the place into a morial for the No-Food Mother, who had once been the top figure in the Mortal Heart Realm.
Aunt Liu was taken aback, then looked at Qi Yuan with a bit of hesitation. "We are followers of the Foodless Holy Mother. We gather information on the evil gods for the ancient gods… If we sell the Red Leaf Pavilion to you, we wouldn't be able to continue our work."
Aunt Liu and Xiao Xing both hesitated. They were dedicated to the cause of the Mortal Heart Realm, to gathering information for the ancient gods. Even if the information they gathered had only a small impact, they still felt it was worth doing.
"You don't need to worry about that anymore. You can now live the life you want," Qi Yuan said softly, his voice gentle. "Did you see those beams of light just now? That was the evil gods scrambling to flee the Mortal Heart Realm."
Xiao Xing's eyes widened, and Aunt Liu's body tensed at his words.
"Is this true?" Xiao Xing's eyes filled with tears.
"Of course," Qi Yuan replied with a smile. Then, he flew into the sky and announced, "The Origin Heavenly God has arrived! The people of Huaye City… it's ti to feast! Tonight… we feast!"
...
anwhile, in the southern lands.
In the Contemplation Mountain, Dongjiang He stood with an expression of reverence and awe.
"A mythic-level contemplation thod… I’ve finally done it!"
"Hahaha, I can finally stop hiding my identity as the Heaven's Chosen!"
"Who said I, Dongjiang He, wasn't the youthful Heavenly Emperor? I’ve just manifested a mythic-level contemplation thod, just like that!"
Dongjiang He was overjoyed. He felt that he could finally vindicate himself.
Though the Origin Heavenly God had been suppressing him, with everyone in the group proclaiming the Origin Heavenly God as the true youthful Heavenly Emperor, Dongjiang He had never accepted it.
Now that he had manifested a mythic-level contemplation thod, he could finally clear his na and figuratively shove it in the face of the Origin Heavenly God.
After all, his future was limitless, while the Origin Heavenly God was already on his last legs.
Leaving the Contemplation Mountain, Dongjiang He entered the chat group, brimming with pride.
"Eh? Where is everyone?"
"Hey, where did you all go?"
"Aren't you going to welco your Dong Heavenly Emperor?"
"I’ve finally done it, everyone—I’ve manifested a mythic-level contemplation thod!"
He sent the ssages, but no one responded.
The group was eerily quiet, with no activity at all.
Dongjiang He was puzzled. "What’s going on? Where is everyone? Did they all go to the bathroom?"
Feeling confused and disappointed, he had expected the group to go wild, showering him with praise, acknowledging him as the true Heaven’s Chosen!
Even the gods who had once looked down on him, like Shen Miao Venerable and Black Dragon Venerable, would have to be reckoned with.
But now… no one was in the group, making his achievent of manifesting a mythic-level contemplation thod feel a bit hollow.
"If they're not here, so be it. Once the old guy finds out I’ve manifested a mythic-level contemplation thod, he’ll probably cry tears of joy and cling to my leg, calling 'father'!"
Thinking of his master, Dongjiang He felt even more excited.
That old guy had always supported the mythic plan. Although he hadn’t pressured Dongjiang He to manifest a mythic-level contemplation thod, Dongjiang He knew his master's true desires. The old guy had always wanted Dongjiang He to hurry up and manifest a mythic-level thod, but he was too concerned about pressuring him, so he never said anything.
"Since no one’s here, I’ll head out and flash my mythic-level contemplation thod. It’ll blind that old guy’s eyes!"
But before leaving, he left another ssage in the group:
"Mythic-level contemplation thod, really super easy."
With that, he left to find his master.
"Master!"
In the grand hall, Dongjiang He, dressed in white, cut a striking figure, his youthful features exuding an extraordinary aura. But this ti, when he called out for his master, there was no response.
This was unusual.
Every ti he finished a contemplation session, his master would be waiting, full of anticipation.
The eager look in his master’s eyes always made Dongjiang He feel a bit guilty. But this ti, he wasn’t feeling guilty—he was full of pride.
Yet… his master wasn’t there.
He was puzzled.
"Master!"
He pushed open the door and walked out of the cave, only to find the outside eerily quiet as well.
This was strange.
"Looks like I need to use my trump card!"
He looked up at the sky.
"Master, sothing terrible has happened—it's an ergency!"
He called out urgently.
Finally, a concerned voice echoed from the sky.
"What’s wrong, Jiang He?"
Hearing this, Dongjiang He's mood soared. "Master, I have good news for you."
"Hurry up, I have urgent matters to attend to!" his master’s voice was rushed.
Dongjiang He’s smile deepened. Once he revealed his achievent, his master wouldn’t be in such a hurry anymore.
"Today, while in the Contemplation Mountain, I accidentally manifested a… mythic-level contemplation thod!"
Dongjiang He declared proudly, full of anticipation.
A mythic-level contemplation thod was a crucial part of the mythic plan. Manifesting such a thod would greatly enhance the power of the Mortal Heart Realm, aiding in the implentation of the plan.
"Oh? A mythic-level contemplation thod? Not bad, that’s impressive. There are a few bottles of pills in my cave—take them as a reward. I have to go out now, I’m in a hurry," his master’s voice was calm and composed, without any great excitent.
This reaction left Dongjiang He stunned.
He didn’t understand. He had just manifested a mythic-level contemplation thod, shouldn’t his master be overjoyed… shouldn’t he be moved to tears?
How could he still be thinking about going out, and what could be more urgent than this?
"Master, what’s the ergency?" Dongjiang He couldn’t help but ask.
"Just now, a great battle occurred in the northern lands, and it seems that three evil god generals were killed. The entire army of the evil god stronghold has fled the Mortal Heart Realm!" his master said, his figure turning into a stream of light, with a final ssage echoing in Dongjiang He's mind, "I have to go and confer with the other ancient gods, we’ll talk later!"
The vast mountains were left empty, with only Dongjiang He standing there.
He was utterly bewildered, his mind unable to process what had just happened.
"I was just contemplating… and the world changed?"
Dongjiang He was in complete shock.
How could this be happening?
And what his master had just said… was too terrifying.
The evil god army was routed?
It was inconceivable. Even in his wildest dreams, Dongjiang He wouldn't dare to imagine sothing so incredible.
It was as if soone was playing a ga.
Maybe they should let him play next?
He stood there for an indeterminate amount of ti before re-entering the chat group.
This ti, many mbers were online.
Dongjiang He imdiately saw a ssage from the Origin Deity.
"Jiang He is right, manifesting mythic contemplation thods is indeed easy."
The ssage had co from none other than the Origin Heavenly God.
Below, many familiar faces were replying.
"Origin Heavenly God, the northern evil gods fleeing… was that your doing?"
"The thunderous ocean, the nine stars in the sky—were those all manifestations of mythic-level contemplation thods?"
"Origin Heavenly God, was that all your work…?"
The group was buzzing with excitent.
Dongjiang He’s earlier ssage about his own mythic-level contemplation thod had been completely overshadowed.
No one even cared about it.
Dongjiang He felt like coughing up blood.
But now, he was also extrely curious.
"What on earth happened?!"
Without having seen it for himself, everything felt too unreal, like a dream.
At this mont, Qi Yuan looked at the ssages in the group and responded.
"I always thought the evil gods were powerful, but it turns out they’re not that tough."
"The one who unleashed the thunderous ocean was the old man Shenlei. I gave him a slightly powerful contemplation thod, and he jumped from the fourth step to the seventh step, taking down two evil god generals on his own."
"As for the nine stars, those nine received nine mythic-level contemplation thods, but they’re a bit weaker, so the power was just average."
"The evil god generals aren’t that formidable, really. I killed two of them with a single sword stroke. I suspect the evil gods are all paper tigers, especially the generals. Maybe any one of you could take them down with a well-tid attack."
Qi Yuan's words were calm, but the ancient gods were stunned.
Wasn’t there supposed to be only eight mythic-level contemplation thods?
Dongjiang He had thought that those eight had all been given to ordinary people.
But now, Shenlei Venerable had one too?
And the Origin Heavenly God killed two evil god generals with a single sword stroke… Wasn’t that a bit exaggerated?
This couldn’t be real—it had to be a lie!
Dongjiang He refused to accept this reality.
"Origin Heavenly God, didn’t you only manifest eight mythic-level contemplation thods?" Shen Miao Venerable asked, trembling slightly.
"I… manifested them before," Qi Yuan, sitting in the Red Leaf Pavilion, replied simply.
It was true—he had manifested them in the past.
