I'm the emperor from the start, and you want me to keep the three-year agreement?

"Is the cultivation speed in your place so terrifying?"

Lin Ning's mouth twitched, looking at the Ling Gui who was currently in enlightenment with extreme surprise.

Alright, alright.

Older brother Ling Yi observed the true appearance of the Ancestral God, comprehended the Divine Bridge Technique, broke through to become a True God, benefiting countless generations.

Younger brother Ling Gui watched the scene of divine punishment and was actually able to comprehend cultivation techniques and break through to become a True God?

Lin Ning felt his scalp tingle.

Are all the cultivators from the Ancient Heavenly Court era so exaggerated?

Breaking through like flowing water?

With this talent, who wouldn't be envious?

At this moment, Ling Gui felt his entire body merge with the divine punishment.

Most cultivators from the Ancient Heavenly Court era observed the Ancestral God, then cultivated the Divine Bridge Technique mentioned by Ling Yi, thus becoming True Gods.

Therefore, no matter what cultivation technique they practiced before, whether they belonged to the Human Race or beasts, when they were about to break through to become True Gods, their direction was similar to that of the Ancestral God.

The light emitted from their bodies was similar to the golden light of the Celestial Court.

However, the light emanating from Ling Gui's body now was actually black.

His entire being was shrouded in darkness, like a deity from the abyss; only darkness was his main theme.

Ling Gui wandered in the darkness; he saw various past events, and scenes of the two brothers cultivating together appeared in his mind.

From childhood to adulthood, brother Ling Yi was always more dazzling than him.

Ling Yi's talent was too high; during the Spirit Race era, every action of the older brother would receive widespread attention from the Spirit Race and he was regarded as a genius.

Of course, Ling Gui's talent was also very high; his talent was only slightly lower than Ling Yi's, but precisely because of the existence of his brother, the comparison between the two seemed much dimmer.

After growing up, Ling Yi's progress was even more rapid; Ling Gui had to put in a lot of effort to keep up with his older brother.

The brother comprehended the Divine Bridge Technique, leading many powerhouses of the Human Race to cultivate and become True Gods.

"Do I originate from darkness?"

Ling Gui, shrouded in black, reached out, wanting to grasp something, but what responded to him were the intertwined bolts of lightning in the darkness.

"All along, I have taken my older brother as my goal."

Ling Gui murmured, "But, the more he grew, the more he shone, while I, like darkness, was never noticed."

In the darkness, Ling Gui struggled continuously.

He desperately wanted to prove himself, to prove that he was the strongest one.

Deadly silence, everything around was deadly silent.

All the light in the world seemed to converge around Ling Yi, with only darkness constantly accompanying Ling Gui.

"They can't see my good points, but it doesn't matter. I originally belong to darkness, so why should I care about others' opinions?"

Ling Gui's body continuously grew taller, his cultivation constantly increased, and his aura gradually became stronger.

Finally, he stepped into a wondrous realm.

In front of the darkness, there was an illusory door.

Ling Gui stood outside the door, in complete darkness.

He walked in without hesitation; it was still dark everywhere, but there were many more sounds of killing.

[Detected that Ling Gui has broken through to become a True God]

[The target is comprehending a heaven-defying cultivation technique]

[Danger! Danger! Danger!]

Lin Ning, who was protecting Ling Gui, suddenly heard the system's voice in his ear.

The system's voice was very urgent, especially after reporting Ling Gui's breakthrough to True God, it became even more urgent.

"Ling Gui became a True God?"

Looking at Ling Gui, who was already enveloped in darkness, Lin Ning rubbed his chin and thought, "Strange, why would the system suddenly warn me that Ling Gui is dangerous?"

The system was very strange today.

Even when Lin Ning saw the Ancestral God, the system did not report danger.

Important things are said three times; the system directly reported three dangers, and they were all with exclamation marks!

This made Lin Ning become vigilant involuntarily.

He quickly stepped back.

As soon as he retreated, Lin Ning saw an illusory door appear out of thin air in front of Ling Gui.

The darkness in front instantly dissipated, revealing Ling Gui's true appearance.

This door merged with Ling Gui, both were extremely illusory.

"Such a strong aura."

Lin Ning pinched his nose; he smelled the scent of blood.

Looking closely, it turned out that the surface of his skin had cracked open, and blood was floating in the air like gas.

"Hiss!"

Looking at the wounds on his body, Lin Ning gasped.

"What kind of cultivation technique did this Ling Gui comprehend? He can actually destroy my body's defenses without me noticing?"

Lin Ning was astonished; with his body's strength, even veteran True Gods would not be able to break through it.

However, Ling Gui was able to do it!

And he didn't let Lin Ning discover it.

No wonder the system warned of danger.

With this ability of Ling Gui, who wouldn't panic?

"Sorry, sorry."

A voice of apology suddenly came; Ling Gui's body materialized. He rubbed the back of his head and looked at Lin Ning with a face full of apology.

"This is an ability I comprehended when I broke through. I was too happy and didn't control it well for a moment, causing you to get injured."

Seeing Lin Ning covered in blood, Ling Gui repeatedly apologized; he felt very guilty.

"It's fine, as long as you break through to become a True God." Lin Ning waved his hand; although he suffered some injuries, they were minor matters.

"Senior Brother Ling Gui, you just became a True God and were able to comprehend such a terrifying cultivation technique; you will be remarkable in the future." Lin Ning praised.

Ling Gui scratched his head and said, "I was also quite lucky; I happened to encounter divine punishment, which allowed me to break through to become a True God."

"It was also when I became a True God that my thoughts were running at high speed, which allowed me to learn a new cultivation technique."

Lin Ning rubbed his chin and joked, "Your cultivation technique is really powerful. I'll have to be wary of you, otherwise I'm afraid I might die without anyone knowing in the future."

"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare." Ling Gui waved his hand, "I have no ill intentions towards Senior Brother Lin; that was just accidental."

"Let's not talk about these anymore." Lin Ning smiled, "Senior Brother Ling Yi calls the cultivation technique he comprehended the Divine Bridge Technique."

"Senior Brother Ling Gui, have you thought of a name for the cultivation technique just now??"

Hearing this, Ling Gui fell into contemplation, "Let me think..."

Ling Gui carefully recalled the scene when he comprehended the cultivation technique just now; after much thought, he decided.

Let's call it: Eternal Night Gate!

"Senior Brother, do you want to go to the Spirit Race with me?"

Having finally broken through to become a True God, Ling Gui held his head high, wanting to return to his birthplace with pride.

The insights gained from breaking through were not only in cultivation techniques and power but also some life insights.

Ling Gui no longer wanted to compare himself with Ling Yi; what was there to compare between the two brothers?

Both of them were now True Gods; one had a divine position, while the other did not yet, but regardless, they were both the first two cultivators of the Spirit Race to become True Gods.

"Go to the Spirit Race? I won't be going."

Lin Ning politely refused, "My wife is doing quite well here in the Star Alliance, but I need to look after her, so I won't go with you."

"Okay." Ling Gui said, "Our Spirit Race has unique fine wine; if Senior Brother wants to come, you are welcome anytime."

Not forcing Lin Ning to go to the Spirit Race together, but before returning to the clan, Ling Gui still told Lin Ning the address of the Spirit Race.

On one hand, he was very at ease with Lin Ning and was not worried that revealing the location would cause disaster.

On the other hand, brother Ling Yi was now a deity of the Celestial Court, possessing a divine position; even if other cultivators knew the location of the Spirit Race, how would they dare to provoke the Celestial Court??
