Chapter 458 A Sign of Family Annihilation
Upon hearing this, Liu Chengfeng understood why a ghost tide had appeared in the Emperor Flame Pool.

Anyone can make a wish, but to receive the benefits, one needs not only piety but also steadfastness.

The gods who entered the Emperor's Flame Pool all wanted to gain benefits, but they did not expect that their strong greed would attract other bad things.

For example, the ghostly aura of the Xiantian Divine Kingdom is drawn by greed, which in turn transforms into one of the nine calamities of the Emperor's Flame Pool—the Ghost Tide!
"Actually, we are willing to sit on equal footing with all living beings."

White-clothed corpses emerged from the Heavenly Kingdom.

"Uh--"

Liu Chengfeng was speechless. Yet another ghost had granted him his wish.

"No, my divine will is for mortals, why are you all getting involved?"

Liu Chengfeng was helpless.

"We are damaged, no different from ordinary people."

The Black Emperor also emerged, eager for something.

"No different from ordinary people?"

Liu Chengfeng glanced at them. He had seen shameless people before, but he had never seen anyone this shameless.

"I wonder if we are capable of sitting on equal footing with all living beings?"

The Black Emperor was an old acquaintance, and Liu Chengfeng rarely asked him questions, so he shamelessly inquired.

Liu Chengfeng glanced at the skinned, resentful woman in the Heavenly Kingdom.

The skinned, resentful woman stares at her nose, her nose at her heart, as if she knows nothing.

She feared that Liu Chengfeng would blame her and banish her from the Xiantian Divine Kingdom.

"What, are you not going to lower yourself to this level?"

Liu Chengfeng was annoyed, knowing what they meant. They wanted to be like the Skin-Peeling Wraith, able to enter the Heavenly Kingdom with their souls, rather than by divine will.

"No, no, all living beings are equal to us."

The Black Emperor, the White Cloth Corpse, and the Ghost Shadow shook their heads, like rattles.

They longed to enter the Heavenly Kingdom and receive supreme nourishment. Didn't they come to the Azure Realm to nourish themselves?
"We'll discuss it later."

Liu Chengfeng did not agree immediately.

The Black Emperor and his companions dared not say anything and could only retreat back into the realm of divine will.

Liu Chengfeng had no time to deal with these things; he was ready to find reality and integrate it into his creation.

For the sake of his own creation, everything else was put on hold; matters concerning Dragon's Lament and the Seed of Boundless Realm were all put aside for now.

"Little Lord--"

As soon as Liu Chengfeng came down from the forbidden ancient city, a large number of people knelt on the ground.

Deng Jinchang led his family members to kneel down, including Deng Xuanyue, who at this moment had lost all her arrogance and pride.

"What are you doing?"

Liu Cheng glanced at them.

"Please, young master, have mercy and save my Deng family."

Deng Jinchang kowtowed to Liu Chengfeng.

The Deng family members also followed the head of the family in bowing.

“The matter concerning your ancestral land is of great importance.”

Liu Chengfeng frowned. Of course he knew what was wrong with the Deng family; the Heavenly Observer had seen it all clearly.

"Please have mercy, young master. The Deng family has been willing to serve you like a slave for generations, at your beck and call."

Deng Jinchang, being a true god, disregarded his dignity and prayed to Liu Chengfeng.

Compared to the survival of the Deng family, what does personal dignity matter?

"Well-"

Liu Chengfeng stroked his chin, and his thoughts suddenly became clearer.

"Please, young master, have mercy and save the ancestral land of the Deng family."

Xu Xunfeng kowtowed, praying for the Deng family.

"I can help you, but my price won't be low."

Liu Chengfeng looked at them.

"Young Master, please give your orders. The Deng family will obey them in everything."

Deng Jinchang asked his daughter to pray.

"Young Master, save my Deng family, and Xuan Yue is willing to be your slave for generations to come."

Deng Xuanyue knelt down, her head bowed in humility, without the slightest arrogance.

She had come to realize that even as a slave, she might not be qualified.

"Me too."

Xu Xunfeng became even more obsequious, practically clinging to Liu Chengfeng's leg.

"Am I that kind of person?"

Liu Chengfeng was annoyed and kicked him away.

"Young Master agrees."

Xu Xunfeng was clever and understood immediately.

Liu Chengfeng was too lazy to waste words with them and let them lead the way.

Deng Jinchang was overjoyed and respectfully led the way with his clansmen, secretly giving Xu Xunfeng a thumbs up.

Deng Jinchang respectfully welcomed Liu Chengfeng into the Chaotic Star Domain, and the Deng family held a grand and solemn welcoming ceremony.

Clouds and mist paved the road, drums and horns sounded in unison, divine banners fluttered, and a chariot was pulled by a mythical beast.

Please have Liu Chengfeng sit in the divine chariot, while the family head Deng Jinchang personally leads the precious beast.

Deng Xuanyue served him at his side, boiling water and warming wine, just like a servant.

The Deng family members, whether they were the rarely seen patriarchs or the young geniuses, all lined up to greet them.

Liu Chengfeng sat upright on the divine chariot, looking around the chaotic star field.

Aran was completely unaware, simply resting her chin on her hand.

The Chaotic Star Domain was forged from a star field and became a private domain. The entire domain has countless stars in the starry sky, surrounded by the Milky Way and ever-changing nebulae.

Above the star field, there are thirty-five portals connecting to thirty-five worlds.

This is one of the thirty-five worlds of the Chaotic Star Sea, located within the Southern Heaven Continent.

The fact that the Deng family can govern thirty-five worlds is not only because he is a true god, but also because the Deng family has a long and profound history.

Deng Jinchang paid a considerable price to relocate the entire star field to the Myriad Realms Academy.

He thought that by coming to seek his ancestors and resonating with them, he might be able to rebuild and strengthen his ancestral land. However, he paid homage to his ancestors all over the Dragon Breath Continent, but there was no response.

Now that he had Liu Chengfeng's help, Deng Jinchang was overjoyed, as he understood the seriousness of the problem better than anyone else.

Deng Jinchang welcomed Liu Chengfeng in with the highest honors, intending to invite him into the Chaotic Star Palace.

Within the Chaotic Star Domain, there are countless ancestral temples and divine towers, some forged from great stars and others condensed from nebulae.

The Chaotic Star Palace is the Deng family's prestigious sacred palace.

"Let's go to the ancestral home." Liu Chengfeng didn't want to waste time and wanted to head straight for the Deng family's ancestral home.

Without saying a word, Deng Jinchang led the elders and geniuses, surrounding Liu Chengfeng, straight to the ancestral land.

The Deng family's ancestral home was built outside Chaotic Star City, where a divine peak rose high, reaching straight into the heavens, surrounded by countless star rivers.

Before the divine peak, the stars are stones, the Milky Way is a staircase, leading straight into the divine peak.

On the mountain peak stands the Tower of Divine Wishes, where divine wishes converge like the sea, flowing endlessly, with laws descending and divine paths encircling it.

Sifang Shenjie Mountain is both the ancestral home of the Deng family and the site of the Deng family's Divine Wish Pagoda.

This is the pride of the Deng family. Although the Deng family's Divine Wish Tower cannot compare with the main tower of the four continents, nor with the central tower or the ancestral domain.

However, the Deng family's Divine Wish Tower was built on their ancestral land, gathering the power of their ancestors to strengthen the power of their divine wishes!

This is also the foundation upon which the Deng family has been able to stand tall in the chaotic world for generations.

The divine chariot stopped in front of the tower and could not go any further. If one wanted to climb the Four Directions Divine Realm Mountain, one could only rely on one's own divine power to ascend.

Liu Chengfeng surveyed the surrounding divine mountains, understanding everything clearly.

"Young Master, please feel free to give any instructions you may have."

Deng Jinchang also dared not easily suggest that Liu Chengfeng climb the mountain.

"What, are you afraid I won't be able to climb your sacred mountain?"

Liu Chengfeng glanced at him.

"That's not what I meant. Young Master is unparalleled; how could this be difficult for you?"

Deng Jinchang gave a dry laugh. He was indeed worried, and now he felt foolish.

The Deng family ancestors dared not say much, for they also had many doubts in their hearts: could the young man before them really save them from their predicament?

"My family's Divine Wish Tower is a little different from others. My ancestor was the chief attendant of the Mad Dragon God, and he accumulated a wealth of knowledge and power here..."

Fearing that Liu Chengfeng might misunderstand, Deng Jinchang explained the situation of the Deng Family's Divine Wish Pagoda to Liu Chengfeng.

"Your ancestors gathered the chaotic star sea spiritual veins as their own ancestral veins. Your descendants made a wish to build the Divine Wish Tower, using the foundation of your ancestors to support it, and borrowing the legacy of the Mad Dragon to strengthen the power of the Divine Wish..."

Liu Chengfeng interrupted Deng Jinchang and casually revealed the secret of the Four Directions Divine Realm Mountain.

"Young Master is wise!"

Deng Jinchang was shocked; he never expected that Liu Chengfeng would know this on his first visit.

Liu Chengfeng got off the divine chariot, led Aran up the stone steps, and Xu Xunfeng hurriedly followed.

Deng Jinchang dared not act rashly and stood below with his clansmen, waiting with wide eyes.

As you ascend the stone steps, the sound of the Great Dao resounds, as if you see a divine tortoise carrying a pagoda pressing down, and endless divine wishes overwhelming you.

With each step up the stone steps, the voice of the Great Way grew louder, and the power of divine will became stronger, pressing down on one until it was hard to breathe.

Liu Chengfeng, holding Aran's hand, strolled leisurely up the steps.

Xu Xunfeng couldn't keep up and fell behind. He gritted his teeth and used all his strength to catch up step by step.

Deng Jinchang and his clansmen stared wide-eyed, unable to believe that Liu Chengfeng was strolling so leisurely.

After climbing more than forty steps, Xu Xunfeng could no longer go up; it was difficult to take another step. He wisely withdrew.

"Forty-something steps is already great."

Deng Jinchang praised Xu Xunfeng.

Their ancestral land, the Four Directions Divine Realm Mountain, was built upon the legacy of the Primordial Mad Dragon, which strengthened the power of divine will and received the Great Dao Voice of the First Divine Emperor of All Ages.

The divine tortoise carrying the Divine Wish Pagoda spreads the divine wish; this is the manifestation of the divine emperor's voice.

The higher the Deng family members climb the sacred mountain and the longer they stay, the more opportunities the divine emperor's voice will have to open the Hall of Truth.

The Deng family members use climbing the Four Directions Divine Realm Mountain to hone themselves, knock on the door of the Temple of Truth, and correct the divine way.

"I can only climb to fifty."

Deng Xuanyue also comforted him, saying that all his arrogance and pride had vanished.

"Young Master has reached the summit—"

A member of the clan exclaimed in surprise, and everyone looked up in shock.

"Ninety-nine steps—"

Everyone was already surprised that Liu Chengfeng could easily lead Aran up the stone steps, but they never expected that they would reach the top in the blink of an eye.

The clansmen looked toward Deng Jinchang.

"I can only climb sixty-something steps, and even our strongest ancestor could only climb seventy-eight steps."

Deng Jinchang was also deeply shocked.

Deng Xuanyue was stunned and couldn't say a word. She was arrogant and had tried her best, but she had only reached the fiftieth level.

Liu Chengfeng strolled leisurely and reached the summit in the blink of an eye.

"Is this...is this still the Great Harmony God?"

The people in the tribe all stutter when they speak.

"Young Master is wise and mighty, unparalleled in the world—"

Xu Xunfeng fawned over him and bowed deeply.

Deng Jinchang and the others bowed deeply, not feeling that there was anything wrong with it.

Deng Xuanyue felt the same way. In the past, she would have looked down on Xu Xunfeng's sycophantic behavior, but now she was completely convinced.

“Your Deng family is a sign of destruction.”

Liu Chengfeng glanced at the Tower of Divine Wishes and said something indifferently.

"Please, young master, have the mercy to save us."

Deng Jinchang knew best; his legs trembled, and he knelt down.

"Father, is it that serious?"

Deng Xuanyue was shocked and still couldn't believe it.

The tribesmen also widened their eyes; these words seemed too serious.

They knew there was a problem with their home, because in recent years, the God Emperor Daoyin had been unable to open their Temple of Truth, no matter how long they stayed.

However, they believed that there were no signs of impending doom.

"Our ancestral land is depleted, the Deng family is declining, even the Iron Sand Domain can destroy us, and our descendants will be slaves for generations to come."

Deng Jinchang told his daughter and relatives, his voice trembling.

Fearing that bad news would spread and invite the enemy to destroy him, Deng Jinchang kept the secret to himself, wanting to save his ancestral land.

They even went to great lengths to persuade the Guigui Academy to allow them to migrate from the Chaotic Star Domain, but none of this solved the problem.

"It's that serious—"

Deng Xuanyue's heart trembled, and her clansmen were horrified; they had never imagined it would be so serious.

Iron Sand Domain is a power adjacent to Chaotic Star Sea, belonging to the Divine Tang World, and the two have been enemies for countless years.

If the Deng family declines and the Iron Sand Domain destroys them, the consequences will be unimaginable!

They are able to govern thirty-five worlds, relying on the Four Realm God Peaks as their foundation.

With its foundations exhausted, can the Deng family still survive? Being enslaved in later generations isn't even the worst possible outcome.
