Fang Yuan only intended to probe this Demon G.o.d.

But Ancient Netherworld was more straightforward than expected, directly admitting his fear.

“So even though a Demon G.o.d's Dao path is a new Great Dao, it's still imperfect?” Fang Yuan murmured to himself after hearing this shocking news.

“It's normal for the Heavenly Dao to possess deficiencies. While the universe is boundless, can you ever find anything perfect in it?” Ancient Netherworld sneered. “Perfection is relative. The new Dao path carved out by a Demon G.o.d may be the truly perfect Great Dao as a Demon Master, but upon breaking through to a new realm, they'll realize that their Dao path had many flaws to make up for in the next realm… And who would prefer hard cultivating to easy plundering?”

Fang Yuan closed his eyes.

He felt as if he was back in Da Qian and witnessing the scene of that Demon G.o.d plundering Dao paths.

“So they needed to make up for the flaws in their Great Dao? That's close to my speculation… So that's the reason why beings in the Mental Demon Realm invade the lower realms so frequently—they were looking for new rules in different Dao Marks to reinforce their own foundation?”

“What's the realm after Demon G.o.d then?” he asked as soon as he thought of the question.

“Hehe… Lad, how can you peek into our next realm when you're still below our realm?” Ancient Netherworld sneered. He surely would not be so nice and give an explanation straightaway.

“Hey… Demon G.o.d Ancient Netherworld, according to your own words, you'll definitely be swallowed by other Demon G.o.ds once they find you. I can prevent that, but what do you have to offer in exchange for my help?” Fang Yuan asked, laughing aloud.

“You dare bargain with me?” The blood bubble face literally distorted in anger. “You obtained my information on the realm-traversing technique last time and promised to let me out!”

“Wait a moment. I only took the deposit and didn't make a promise regarding when to let you out!” Fang Yuan said righteously. “Moreover… you didn't give me all the information, especially the technique for entering the lower realms!”

“Haha… Junior, you remind me of my youth!” Ancient Netherworld was so mad his b.l.o.o.d.y face laughed. “However… it's impossible for me to tell you the technique of traversing to the lower realms unless you release me immediately…”

“Then it's really regrettable!” Fang Yuan shrugged.

Actually, he only wanted to trick this Demon G.o.d and was happily prepared for any outcome.

“You'll definitely stop the Demon Masters' plan, won't you?” said Ancient Netherworld calmly. “You have a Demon G.o.d's aura on you, and it looks like you have quite a few enemies in the Mental Demon Realm. Aren't you afraid?”

“Of course I am!” Fang Yuan said. “But then I thought about it carefully. Even if a channel is opened and the Mental Demon Realm invades, could you be sure that my enemies would happen to be there?”

“In comparison, no matter which Demon G.o.d comes here, don't you think that they'll be interested in you?”

Fang Yuan went straight to the point. The planes of the Mental Demon Realm had to be much larger than the Spiritual Realm's.

In such a small realm, it was indeed unlikely that the Demon G.o.d offended by Fang Yuan would happen to be on the other side of the channel.

On the other hand, no matter which Demon G.o.d encountered the weakened Ancient Netherworld, they would surely swallow up what they saw.

That was a.n.a.logous to how Fang Yuan would immediately refine a sealed Demon Master for origin power as soon as he encountered one.

This was the cruelty in the compet.i.tion between Demon Spirits. The weak were bound to be the prey of the strong.

Therefore, Fang Yuan was sure that Ancient Netherworld would not end up well irrespective of which Demon G.o.d came.

“d.a.m.n it! d.a.m.n it!” The b.l.o.o.d.y red face trembled in rage. “If this was all planned by that existence in the Myriad Thunder Plain, then I know roughly which Demon G.o.ds will come. Their personalities… Hehe, one of them, named the Infinite Devourer, even has the Dao path of devouring everything. You Demon Masters are also delicious desserts in their minds!”

He had not chosen to lie, as he knew that the astute lad before him would not be tricked.

“So… shall we collaborate?” Fang Yuan rubbed his fingers. “I won't demand the technique of entering the lower realms anymore, and I'll try my best to collect intelligence on the arrangement of the sacrifice ceremony for you, so you'll teach me the relevant knowledge!”

The simplest method to spoil the ceremony was to leave and bring along Black Dragon. However, that would not address the root of the problem. The Demon Masters had captured three Ancient G.o.ds before, so they could capture another three in the future.

They would still ultimately open a channel unless Fang Yuan exposed all of this to the Celestial Thearch, informing him that this place used for training his army had already become a huge problem.

But Fang Yuan would have to expose his own ident.i.ty in this case, and he was not someone who would sacrifice himself for others.

Therefore, his best choice was to hide and wait for changes to take place.

And he wanted to create even more chaos so that he could reap a whole lot before leaving.

It was his daring personality that made him take risks before; otherwise, he would not have progressed to the realm he was at today.

“Oh? Looks like you have wild ambitions… Haha… Great! I like that… I'll help you!” Ancient Netherworld's b.l.o.o.d.y face burst into laughter.

“You're helping yourself by helping me!” Fang Yuan smiled as well.

As he reached an agreement with this Demon G.o.d, he was ready to execute his plan.

The Heaven Palace.

This spectacular palace of gold and jade had now become ruins.

In the main hall that survived the attack, the War King said with a frightening expression, “The Demon Masters in the Bottomless Blood Abyss… are too arrogant! We must deploy more troops! Deploy troops to annihilate all of them!”

The deafening voice echoed in the hall.

The War King had been an emperor in the human world, and he was still superior to almost everyone after his ascension. Right now, his face was purple with fury. “Such Demon Masters must die! Die!! Die!!!”

The other five Ancient G.o.ds also appeared furious.

Of course, despite their loud roars, their emotionless eyes were like the lifeless water in a well.

“It seems easy to deploy troops from the Heavenly Court, but it's not actually a viable option!”

“The Demon Masters are extremely cunning. They live in the perilous lands and may have bound themselves together with the seal. We have to mind the consequences!”

“If the Celestial Thearch doesn't act, no one can really clear up the Mental Demon Battlefield. However, the Celestial Thearch has to guard the heart of the Ma.s.sive Heavenly Cycle Stellar Array, and he has the intention of training the army on this battlefield…”

“According to past experience acc.u.mulated over the years, demons emerge on the Mental Demon Battlefield, but seven military divisions are just sufficient to maintain the number of Demon Spirits at an equilibrium and prevent the emergence of powerful beings…”

“No! This intelligence has become obsolete. The information on that giant, for example, was completely unknown to us. That's the most worrying issue!”

The spiritual wills joined one another, each having their own respective emotions and motives.

The War King gradually calmed down as well.

While it was unbelievable that an Ancient G.o.d had died on the Mental Demon Battlefield, such events had happened before and were not actually a big deal.

What really mattered was that he had lost face.

But right now, he had the discretion to control his emotions. “Please don't mind me. I was angry just now. Sigh… Black Dragon was such a friendly and generous person. I can't believe that he lost his life just like that!”

The other Ancient G.o.ds rolled their eyes.

It was true that dragons had plenty of treasures. That Ancient G.o.d had given them quite a lot in an attempt to forge good relations.h.i.+ps, and the War King took the larger share. He had to have felt sorry indeed.

“However, we must report this to the Celestial Thearch and request at least three more Ancient G.o.ds to reinforce the defenses of the Heaven Palace. We'll then clear up the demon dwellings!”

The War King had a solemn expression as he spoke.

It did not matter how many inferior Demon Spirits emerged on the Mental Demon Battlefield, but it was due to their negligence that no one was aware of a new Demon Master.

If the Celestial Thearch investigated this issue, he would be deemed partially responsible as well.

“Alright. While the Ancient G.o.ds need replenishment, the Marquises need it even more badly!” Duke Merit said at the side.

The Marquises had suffered the most in this battle with the Demon Masters!

They were first stricken by Fang Yuan's dream attack and lost consciousness. Their inability to defend themselves caused great loss when they were subsequently besieged.

Other than the few lucky ones hiding in the heart of the palace, most of them had died from the shockwaves during the battle between the higher beings.

“Don't worry about it!” The War King waved his hand. His viewpoint was different due to his higher position. “There are so many G.o.ds in this world. Marquises can live forever and many have nothing to do. This is a good chance to use up some of them!”

Marquises were like Heaven Immortals and respected almost everywhere, but he regarded them as consumables.

In fact, G.o.ds such as Lord Bright Jade were indeed expendable to the Heavenly Court that could confer G.o.ds at will.

They were one step away from Ancient G.o.d after all!

“Especially when… there's still a bunch of Earthly G.o.ds!” The War King suddenly sneered, hinting at something.

It was the responsibility of the Divine Dao to protect the world, and neither the Celestial Thearch nor Excellency Mount Mang could evade that responsibility.

Otherwise, why would all the Earthly G.o.ds obediently comply with the orders from the Heavenly Court and go to the battlefield?

Even the Emperor could not resist the trend of heaven's will, or else he would lose the blessings of the heavens.

While these Ancient G.o.ds were discussing the future of the Heaven Palace…

In a small palace outside the hall, Lord Cold Mountain stared wide-eyed. “Y-y-y-you are Lord Mountain River… You actually came back alive!”

“Isn't it normal that I could come back alive? That aside, it's really fortunate for you to have survived the battle!”

Fang Yuan was in a handsome costume of the Divine Dao, gazing at his only acquaintance in the Vast Heaven Division.

He had not had much spare time to take care of this G.o.d during the battle, but this plump guy had managed to become one of the few survivors. Fang Yuan was somewhat surprised.
