Eternal God Emperor: Only I Am Emperor One

Chapter 260 The Game of the Gods

The light of the mortal world originates from the stars in the universe.

Even the weakest true god has condensed more than one divine throne planet.

The four true gods, suspended in the void outside the Realm of Truth, are like four stars radiating endless light, illuminating the desolate void.

The body of the Flame God was three thousand miles long, and a sea of ​​fire, stretching for hundreds of thousands of miles, stretched beneath his feet, like a crimson sun.

Empress Chi Yao's body remained the size of an ordinary person. The Blood-Dripping Sword flew out of her hand, and a blood-red sword light bloomed in the void, splitting the void itself.

"Return to One!"

The Return to One Sword Technique is the Azure Emperor's ultimate skill, which was further developed and elevated to an unprecedented level by Empress Chi Yao. With a single sword strike, all the rules of heaven and earth are unified, leaving only a sword light.

"Roar!"

The three heads of the Flame God emitted long roars that shook the heavens, and three distinct flames transformed into angry dragons, attacking Chi Yao from three directions.

At the same time, the Ghost God summoned a pitch-black pagoda, and a vast, celestial river of dark divine power poured down upon it.

The Four Blood Ancestors did not stand by and watch the battle; they also joined in.

The three true gods of the Heavenly Realm faction never intended to fight alone from the beginning. They wanted to suppress Chi Yao as quickly as possible and let the world know how terrifying the wrath of the ruler of the world could be.

Divine light collided in the void, unleashing billions of dazzling rays of light, like the aurora borealis streaking across the sky.

Saint-level cultivators practicing within the Realm of Truth can only see the light of destruction and cannot see the specific situation of the battlefield. Only gods can see it clearly.

On a high mountain at the edge of the Realm of Truth, two figures stood one in front of the other, looking up at the void.

"The ruler of the world is indeed domineering. Even the gods are shameless. To deal with a new god, they actually choose to gang up on the weak," Xingling Siming said disdainfully.

"What's so strange about that? This is how the Heavenly Realm always behaves. Besides, if we don't use numbers to bully the few today, none of the three of them might be a match for Chi Yao."

The person who spoke was shrouded in divine light and was holding an oil-paper umbrella; he was a deity.

"Yan Shen, Si Jia Xue Zu, and You Shen are all veteran true gods who have been gods for tens of thousands of years and have been famous for a long time. Empress Chi Yao has only recently become a god, so how come she is so powerful?" Xing Ling Siming's eyes showed a strange light, she was very surprised.

"It is indeed surprising. Those who can become gods must be outstanding individuals in the Saint Realm, all of them are geniuses. Chi Yao has such combat power right after becoming a god. I guess she was at least a representative figure of the Yuanhui level when she was a Great Saint, with divine swordsmanship."

A Yuanhui lasts for 129,600 years. A representative figure of the Yuanhui level means that he can represent a certain holy path of a Yuanhui. Such a figure is one in a thousand years, which is rare in the entire universe.

"Swordsmanship reaching the divine level" represents the pinnacle of swordsmanship.

Although his cultivation level has not yet reached the divine realm, his swordsmanship has already reached the divine realm.

Such a person, once he becomes a god, will soon be able to comprehend the profound mysteries of swordsmanship and become an invincible sword god.

It won't be long; give Chi Yao another thousand years, and the likes of Yan Shen will no longer be a match for her.

Even now, she is capable of holding her own against any one of the three true gods of the Heavenly Realm.

"A representative of the Yuanhui, no wonder he's so powerful. Even Donghua Dijun, who is currently ranked first on the 'Peerless in the Mortal World Ranking,' is still a step away from being a representative of the Yuanhui." Xingling Siming sighed again.

Crimson Cloud Flying Immortal Valley, along with the Mortal World Peerless Tower, the Divine Mountain Startling Cloud Pavilion, and the Goddess Twelve Workshops, is known as one of the four major intelligence agencies in the universe, so its information network is naturally excellent.

In the present universe, below the realm of gods, the Heavenly Court is revered by Emperor Donghua, while the Hell Realm is headed by Yuan Qianmo.

Even for these two, they are still a step away from becoming representatives of the Yuanhui level, and can only be prefixed with the word "near".

"In a one-on-one battle, I am fearless, but now that the three gods have joined forces and are outnumbered, isn't Empress Chi Yao in great danger?"

"It would indeed be very dangerous if no one came to our aid," said the figure of divine light.

"Will the true god lend a hand?" Xingling Siming was somewhat expectant. If the one in front of her were to intervene, the likes of Yan Shen would have no choice but to flee in panic.

"not the right time yet."

……

In the void, the battle situation is gradually becoming clear.

Empress Chi Yao's nine-colored divine light dimmed considerably; fighting three against one was ultimately too difficult.

"Chi Yao, the power of the Heavenly Realm is far beyond your imagination. A new god is not much stronger than a mortal ant to the Heavenly Realm. If it weren't for the rules of the Heavenly Court, killing a god would not be difficult." The Nether God spoke coldly, stepping on the stars and dragging a black giant tower in his hand.

"I don't know how powerful the Heavenly Realm is, but your strength is nothing special. Give me a thousand years, and I can slay you all with my sword." Blood trickled from the corner of Chi Yao's mouth, and cracks appeared on her divine body, but her fighting spirit did not diminish at all; on the contrary, it grew even stronger.

The Fourth Blood Ancestor was the strongest of the three gods. Seeing that Chi Yao had not yielded, he used his hand as a blade, gathering countless holy rules on his palm, which were even denser than the rules of heaven and earth, and slashed at Chi Yao.

Just then, a beam of red and blue divine light suddenly flew out from the depths of the void and struck the palm of the Four Armor Blood Ancestor. With just one strike, it shattered his palm into a bloody mess, and divine blood splattered all over the void.

The divine light stopped, revealing its true form: a crystal coffin.

The area above the crystal coffin was dark and gloomy, with a moon mark on it. Below the coffin, however, shone brightly, like a blazing sun, making the crystal coffin appear as if it were a divine furnace of heaven and earth.

The figure of the Moon Goddess appeared on the Sun and Moon Crystal Coffin from who knows where. Her divine body was shrouded in divine radiance, so even gods could not see her true face. However, even without seeing her face, a stunningly beautiful figure could appear in one's mind.

Ten thousand years ago, the Moon Goddess was known as the most beautiful woman in the Heavenly Court, and she had countless suitors, including many ancient gods.

Seeing that the Moon Goddess had made a move, Chi Yao unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief and gave up her determination to fight to the death.

The Moon Goddess is a genuine ancient god with immense power, far surpassing that of ordinary true gods. Even though she is currently recovering from her injuries, she is still unmatched by the Four Blood Ancestors, the Flame God, and the Nether God.

The Four Blood Ancestors withdrew the divine blood that had spilled into the void, their hands returning to normal, and their gazes toward the Moon Goddess were filled with apprehension.

The name of the Moon Goddess is truly legendary. She is an ancient god who has lived for four eons. Even the Lord of the Blood War Temple has to be wary of her, let alone him.

Yan Shen raised his voice and said, "What is the Moon Goddess doing? Does the Guanghan Realm intend to join forces with the Kunlun Realm to oppose the Heavenly Realm? This is not a wise choice. I hope the Moon Goddess will reconsider."

"What I do is none of your business. The Moon Goddess has no intention of being enemies with the Heavenly Realm, but if you want to make a move against Chi Yao today, I will not stand idly by." The Moon Goddess spoke calmly, with a composure and confidence that was not common among ordinary gods.

The God of the Underworld said coldly, "What are you afraid of? As far as I know, in that battle 100,000 years ago, the Moon Goddess not only exhausted her divine power, but her divine star soul and life force were also almost depleted. How could she possibly recover in less than tens of thousands of years? If we join forces, we may not be no match for her."

"Moon Goddess, I have never seen your splendor from 100,000 years ago, but this era no longer belongs to you. Today, I will test the methods of you, the ancient god of the Guanghan Realm."

The Ghost God summoned the pagoda in his hand. The material of the pagoda was quite extraordinary, being dark matter, one of the ten major substances in the universe.

The pagoda emitted a jet-black divine light, unleashing a powerful and domineering surge of energy.

The Moon Goddess stood within the moon's reflection, ethereal and otherworldly, exuding a charm that transcended earthly concerns. She sighed softly, "How naive I was."

She extended an exquisitely beautiful hand, which slowly stretched out and transformed into an ever-growing handprint. It collided with the Black Market Pagoda, and with a clenched fist, she directly absorbed the pagoda into her palm, severing its connection with the Nether God.

The strongest weapon of the Ghost God was taken away so easily.

Just as the God of the Underworld was in shock, the Goddess of the Moon reached out her second hand, and the palm print descended from the sky, grabbing her divine body into her palm, followed by a 'bang' sound.

The god's body exploded, turning into fragments of flesh and blood radiating a dark, eerie light, which flew in all directions.

Seeing this, Yan Shen and the Four Armor Blood Ancestors attacked simultaneously, unleashing their strongest techniques in an attempt to rescue You Shen, but they soon followed in their footsteps.

The divine body was shattered, and divine blood and fragments of the divine body filled the void.

It was terrifying. Three powerful true gods were like chickens and dogs in front of the Moon Goddess, and were torn to pieces in just a few moves.

Chi Yao witnessed all of this, her eyes deep, her hand holding the sword trembling slightly.

Back in the Kunlun Realm, she had a brief confrontation with the Moon Goddess. At that time, the Moon Goddess had just been revived and her strength was not much stronger than hers.

The Moon Goddess has clearly recovered from her injuries and is now many times stronger than before.

Having defeated three gods in a row, his battle prowess is unmatched, earning the attention of all the gods. It is foreseeable that from today onwards, the status of the Guanghan Realm will be elevated to a new level.

But the moon goddess's face showed no sign of relaxation; instead, it became solemn.

The Moon Goddess did not completely annihilate the three deities, allowing them to reshape their divine bodies and escape from this void, before turning her gaze to a point in the void.

There, a sea of ​​blood was drawing ever closer.

Soon, the sea of ​​blood traversed millions of miles and appeared not far away.

The sea of ​​blood was only a thousand miles in area, but the divine power it emitted was more than ten times stronger than that of the Four Blood Ancestors.

The source of the divine power was that not particularly imposing figure on the sea of ​​blood.

"Jia Tianxia, ​​I never expected even you to come."

Upon hearing this, Chi Yao's expression changed drastically.

The Heavenly Realm is filled with gods, including many ancient gods who have lived for countless eons, possessing formidable and unfathomable power.

Jia Tianxia is one of them. He is the strongest in the Blood War Temple and also the temple master.

Because of his immense prestige, the subsequent deities of the Blood War Temple could only refer to themselves as Second-Class Blood Ancestors, Third-Class Blood Ancestors, and Fourth-Class Blood Ancestors. This was a powerful ancient god, no weaker than the peak Moon God.

“A force that dares to attack the Heavenly Realm is no ordinary force. Yan Shen and the others are still juniors and lack experience. They are still not quite ready to find the mastermind behind this.” Jia Tianxia did not show any fighting spirit. Instead, he seemed to be very familiar with Yue Shen, as if they were old friends reuniting.

"Oh? You came in person, have you found the real culprit?" The Moon Goddess smiled faintly.

"There's no need for the Moon Goddess to trouble herself with that." Jia Tianxia chuckled, his gaze falling on Chi Yao, and said meaningfully, "Kunlun Realm is highly suspected of assassinating the younger generation of the Heavenly Realm. Empress Chi Yao, you should come with me to prove your innocence."

The tone of "Jia Tianxia" was calm, but it contained an unyielding will.

Although Chi Yao was a deity, she still felt an overwhelming sense of oppression.

"What if I don't allow it?" asked the Moon Goddess.

Jia Tianxia paused, then frowned and asked, "Does the Moon Goddess really intend to become an enemy of the Heavenly Realm?"

The Moon Goddess stood atop the crystal coffin of the sun and moon, shaking her head slightly: "I do not wish to be an enemy of the Heavenly Realm, but I owe someone a favor that I must repay today."

"I see." The smile on Jia Tianxia's face faded, and the sea of ​​blood beneath his feet churned.

"Ten thousand years ago, our strengths were evenly matched. Ten thousand years have passed, and my cultivation has been constantly improving, while the Moon Goddess has returned severely injured. Her injuries have not yet healed, and I'm afraid she can't stop me."

The Moon Goddess remained calm and said, "Whether we can stop them or not, we'll only know after we try."

The two ancient gods were on the verge of drawing their swords, but Chi Yao, who was protected behind the Moon Goddess, was puzzled. When did the Moon Goddess owe the Kunlun Realm a favor? Could it be something that happened 100,000 years ago?
The Moon Goddess's intervention is naturally a good thing for the Kunlun Realm, but since she is still recovering from her injuries, she may not be able to withstand the might of Jia Tianxia.

"Today, I'm afraid we can only ask the Western Paradise Buddhist Realm and the Five Elements Temple to step in."

……

The appearance of the Moon Goddess and the Supreme Ruler drew the attention of more and more deities who focused their divine thoughts on the battle.

Even some ancient gods who lived in seclusion were alarmed.

Young gods like You Shen, who have become gods in the last 100,000 years, did not experience the era of the Moon God. To them, the Moon God only existed in legends, and they had no real sense of her power.

But for the ancient deities who existed 100,000 years ago, the name of the Moon Goddess is legendary.

Although the Moon Goddess is the most beautiful woman in the Heavenly Court, her main path of cultivation includes the demonic path. She is by no means just a pretty face; her methods are extremely sophisticated, and she is a powerful figure among the ancient gods of the Heavenly Court.

The world of gods is too mysterious for most people to understand. For most people, they simply observe the situation in the void.

Just as Jia Tianxia and Yue Shen were about to clash, ripples suddenly appeared in the void, as if the space itself was rippling, pulling the two of them into the turbulence.

In the blink of an eye, the two ancient gods vanished from the void, disappearing without a trace, leaving Chi Yao alone in the same spot.

"This is... the gods of the Temple of Truth have intervened?"

……

The Sumeru Bodhimanda is located in the center of the Lotus Pond.

Zhang Ruochen lost a large amount of holy blood, and his body became shriveled like a dried corpse.

Fortunately, the Chaos Spacetime Lotus has already appeared.

It was a withered lotus flower, growing all alone in the lotus pond.

"Is this the Chaotic Spacetime Lotus left behind by the Holy Monk Sumeru?"

Di Yi flew down into the lotus pond, reached out and pulled the lotus flower out of the pond. It was very light, and he did not feel anything special.

He tried to infuse the holy energy into the lotus, but strangely, the lotus seemed to whirlpool and completely devoured the holy energy without any reaction.

Suddenly, a burning, stinging sensation came from his palm, forcing Di Yi to loosen his grip.

The lotus flower actually flew into Zhang Ruochen's arms on its own.

"As expected of a treasure left behind by the Holy Monk Sumeru, it is truly not something that others can touch." Emperor Yi shook his head upon seeing this.

Then, he looked at his palm and was surprised to find a strange mark on it, half real and half illusory, which looked very mysterious.

He tried to activate it with holy energy, and an invisible ripple actually spread around his body.

"This is?"

After the Chaotic Spacetime Lotus fell into his arms, it actively released a massive amount of essence into Zhang Ruochen's body. In the blink of an eye, he was restored to his peak state, and his cultivation level increased significantly, making him the envy of all who saw him.

Sensing the fluctuations in Di Yi's palm, Zhang Ruochen had his answer and said, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be a time imprint left by the Venerable Monk Sumeru."

Di Yi also came to his senses; the ripple from before was the power of time.

"The time imprint left by the holy monk of Mount Sumeru..."

Seizing the Sumeru Dojo and finding the Chaos Time-Space Lotus were Empress Chi Yao's missions. For Di Yi, it was largely a matter of necessity, and he had no intention of gaining any benefit from it.

This time imprint is already an unexpected delight.

The last person to receive the time imprint of the Venerable Monk Sumeru was Xue Wuye, one of the Nine Realms Children. However, Xue Wuye's talent in the two paths of time and space was not high, and he was unable to bring out the true value of the imprint.

For Di Yi now, the value of the Time Imprint is quite limited, since he can no longer spend a lot of energy cultivating the Dao of Time.

However, one of the sacred paths he primarily cultivates is the Path of Flowing Light, which is one of the seventy-two supreme sacred paths and is derived from the Path of Time.

Having a time imprint in hand can also be helpful in cultivating the Way of Flowing Light.

Zhang Ruochen, meanwhile, was carefully examining the Chaos Lotus in his hand, showing great curiosity about this treasure left behind by the Venerable Monk Sumeru.

"The Chaos Spacetime Lotus is a treasure left to the Kunlun Realm by the Venerable Monk Sumeru. No cultivator outside the Kunlun Realm is qualified to possess it. Zhang Ruochen, will you hand it over yourself, or shall I come and take it personally?"

A sudden voice rang out in the dojo.

Both Zhang Ruochen and Di Yi were startled.

The former shuddered, his pupils turning blood red almost instantly.

That voice... belongs to Empress Chi Yao.

Almost simultaneously, the Moon Goddess appeared in the dojo, standing beside Zhang Ruochen.

The battlefield in the void can only be seen by gods. Di Yi did not know exactly what had happened and could only guess from the scene before him that the three true gods of the Heavenly Realm had failed to achieve their goal and that the Moon Goddess must have made a move.

"Greetings, Empress, Moon Goddess."

Di Yi bowed slightly in greeting.

The Moon Goddess cast her gaze upon him and said calmly, "My actions today are to repay the favor I owed you on the battlefield of merit in the Ancestral Spirit Realm, and to fulfill my promise of the opportunity you would have. I will wait until you become a Great Sage before you come to see me in the Guanghan Realm."

Di Yi was somewhat stunned. It sounded like the Moon Goddess was making a move today to repay a favor to him.

The key point is that he had no idea what happened from beginning to end.

"Di Yi, you have done very well in the Realm of Truth during this time. You are no longer needed here. You may step down now and then return to the Realm of Shatuo with me," Chi Yao instructed.

They left the Realm of Truth and returned to the Realm of Shatuo.

So it seems the peaceful days in the Kunlun Realm are about to end.

Di Yi had no intention of getting involved in this love-hate relationship. The Chaos Space-Time Lotus had already been born, and his mission was complete.

After glancing at Zhang Ruochen, Di Yi happily headed out of the Sumeru Dojo.

……

On the mountaintop, in just a short while, the figure enveloped in divine light returned and appeared before Xingling Siming.

"It was resolved so quickly? The True God defeated Jia Tianxia?"

"I didn't make a move; Jia Tianxia withdrew voluntarily."

"Huh? Why is that?" Xingling Siming asked, puzzled.

The figure of Shenguang, holding an umbrella, walked step by step toward the Temple of Truth, his tone calm: "I'm just reminding him of one thing: if he doesn't stop, it won't be me coming, but War God Bian Zhuang."

Xingling Siming's eyes lit up, and she suddenly realized what was going on.

According to legend in Heaven, Bian Zhuang, the God of War who guards the Milky Way, is the Moon Goddess's most fervent suitor.

The saying that one might lose 80,000 miles of the Milky Way in order to grasp the bright moon seems to be more than just a rumor.
