Forced to become a pure and innocent female pharmacist in order to cultivate immortality.

"No, the gods are too powerful and wealthy to care about the gifts His Majesty gives them," another immortal king said sarcastically.

It's clear from the attitudes of these Celestial Kings that they dislike and even despise the Gods.

Wen Qin was incredibly excited as she looked at the treasure in the book.

But in reality, this treasure was entirely due to her relationship with Ye Liuyun; otherwise, the Eastern Emperor would not have bestowed such a valuable treasure upon Wen Qin.

Although the gods have left, the banquet will continue.

Soon after, Winnie announced the official start of the banquet.

The so-called banquet is actually a gift-giving event. If you come to offer your congratulations, you will definitely have to give a gift. So this time, Wen Qin and Ye Liuyun are probably going to have their hands cramp from giving so many gifts.

Chapter 962 The Source of Chaos (5K)

At Wen Qin's level, she certainly wouldn't be interested in ordinary things. The Immortal King can be said to be the end of the Immortal Realm. If she wants to go further, there is no other way but to challenge the Immortal Emperor.

However, the Immortal King of Merit only became an Immortal King by relying on the power of the Heavenly Court, so Wen Qin has truly reached the end, unless one day, the Great Heavenly Dao of the Immortal Realm suddenly changes the rules of the Immortal Realm, or perhaps a Heavenly Venerable helps her.

As the gods departed, the powerful Immortal Kings took out their gifts one by one; all of them were Immortal King-level treasures.

Ye Liuyun definitely doesn't need this right now, so Wen Qin kept it for herself.

After presenting their gifts, the celestial kings all took their leave from Wen Qin.

Then the Heavenly Lords stepped forward one by one to present gifts, which were nothing more than elixirs, magical treasures, and other rare natural materials.

However, how could these Heavenly Lords and Golden Immortals possibly have anything that Wen Qin would be interested in? Most of the things Wen Qin glanced at were given to Ye Liuyun on the spot.

Ye Liuyun was overjoyed. These were exactly what he wanted! All sorts of cultivation techniques, all sorts of treasures, even treasures at the Immortal Lord level. This meant that in this one banquet alone, Ye Liuyun had acquired almost all kinds of resources that could directly lead to a first-grade immortal sect.

In other words, the Longevity Sect will only lack people, not resources.

"The Xuanling Sect, Xuanling Heavenly Lord congratulates Lord Yuehua on her ascension to the position of Heavenly King. This is a small token of my appreciation." Xuanling Heavenly Lord stepped forward and then presented his gift with a worried expression.

When Wen Qin and Ye Liuyun heard that the gift-giver was Yu He's master, they became very interested, especially Wen Qin, who had been threatened by Yu He with the Xuanling Sect last time, and she was a very vengeful person.

"Oh, so you are Xuanling Tianjun. I heard that Yu He of the Lingyuan Holy Sect is your disciple?" Wen Qin asked with a half-smile.

This one sentence gave Xuanling Tianjun a huge fright.

"This? In response to Lord Yuehua, Yu He is indeed a disciple of a lower god, but I..." Xuanling Tianjun wanted to explain something, but was interrupted by Wen Qin.

"Well, that's fine then. I'll accept your kind offer." Wen Qin reached out and took the gift from Xuanling Tianjun, placing it in front of Ye Liuyun without even bothering to look at it.

Ye Liuyun hurriedly opened the gift box and glanced at the gifts inside. It has to be said that the gifts from Xuanling Tianjun were the most numerous among all the Tianjuns, including cultivation techniques, treasures, pills, and so on.

After reading these things, Ye Liuyun roughly understood what the Xuanling Heavenly Lord meant.

"Sister." Ye Liuyun nodded to Wen Qin.

Seeing that Ye Liuyun nodded, Wen Qin stopped making things difficult for Xuanling Tianjun.

"Go down. I will forgive and forget what happened before," Wen Qin said.

Xuanling Tianjun felt as if he had been granted a pardon upon hearing this, and at the same time, he took a deep look at Ye Liuyun sitting next to Wen Qin, because he clearly realized that it was after this girl had seen it that Wen Qin forgave him.

"Who is this girl? How could she make a Celestial King obey her every word? Well, this matter is finally over." Xuanling Heavenly Lord breathed a sigh of relief and then retreated.

Time passed slowly, and soon the banquet ended. After the banquet, Wen Qin sent everyone else away and spoke with Ye Liuyun alone.

"Ah! I never thought I'd rise to the top in one step. Suddenly, I feel like I have no more ambitions, and it's like I've returned to those days in the lower realm." Wen Qin withdrew all her power and began to sway and dance around the main hall while drinking.

Ye Liuyun didn't continue sitting on the Heavenly King's throne. She sat on the steps with a glass of spirit wine in her hand, watching Wen Qin relax and indulge in front of her. Wen Qin really needed to relax.

"You still need to have some aspirations, otherwise it would be too boring," Ye Liuyun said.

When the topic of pursuing someone came up, Wen Qin suddenly revealed a cold and stern expression.

"If I had to name a goal, I suddenly had an idea: to make the gods disappear from the Immortal Realm," Wen Qin said coldly.

But after saying that, she gave a bitter smile.

"It's a pity that even if I become a Celestial King, I still can't shake the God Clan. You saw what happened today. In the eyes of the God Clan, I, the Celestial King of Merit, am nothing." Wen Qin said in a deep voice.

Ye Liuyun looked at Wen Qin and fell into deep thought.

"Actually, I'm afraid it's impossible for me and the gods to become friends," Ye Liuyun said.

However, Wen Qin didn't seem to understand the meaning of Ye Liuyun's words, so she instinctively replied.

"Hehe, who can be friends with the gods? If you want to be friends with the gods, they will only treat you like a dog. Since the Immortal Realm was divided into the Five Great Heavenly Realms, the Central Heavenly Realm has become the most chaotic place among the Five Great Heavenly Realms. No one likes the gods. It's just that the gods' power is really too strong. At present, no force can fight against them," Wen Qin said.

Ye Liuyun originally wanted to say that he might be the one to overthrow the rule of the gods.

From a rational point of view, she definitely shouldn't have said that.

"Hehe, perhaps in the future a force will emerge that can overthrow the rule of the gods. However, if such a force emerges, or if all the immortals in the Immortal Realm want to attack the gods, would you join them and become one of them?" Ye Liuyun asked strangely.

Wen Qin didn't even think twice when she heard this.

"If that day ever comes, I will definitely not hesitate to kick the gods a few times, but alas, the possibility of that is basically nonexistent." Wen Qin sighed again.

Ye Liuyun smiled noncommittally and did not pursue the matter further.

“By the way, little sister, Yunze Prefecture, where you are now, is within the territory of my divine kingdom. Would you like to move to a more prosperous place to develop the Longevity Sect?” Wen Qin said with a smile.

Wen Qin now has special privileges; if Ye Liuyun is willing, she can directly make Ye Liuyun's Changsheng Sect the number one immortal sect in her divine realm.

However, Ye Liuyun refused without hesitation.

“Sister, it’s easy to expand the sect, but there’s no one to help. Even the largest sect needs immortals to run it. I don’t think it’s necessary. We have to take things one step at a time. We don’t need to expand until we have enough strong cultivators to support us,” Ye Liuyun replied.

Wen Qin was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled.

“You’re quite calm. If it were someone else, they would have agreed without hesitation. Alright, let’s do it your way, little sister. I’ll wait for your Longevity Sect to grow stronger, and then I’ll hand over the task of building the Divine Kingdom to you.” Wen Qin said with a smile.

Ye Liuyun didn't care about this, since she was a hands-off manager anyway.

"Hehe, no problem. By the way, Sister Wenqin, are you sure you've given me all the gifts from the gods?" Ye Liuyun asked with a smile.

Wen Qinbai glanced at Liu Yun.

“Didn’t I just say that these things are what you deserve? Without you, where would I be today? Now that I’ve reached this divine position, if I really wanted these things, I could get them with a snap of my fingers. And the Longevity Sect needs resources to develop, so these things should be enough to meet all the future needs of the Longevity Sect,” Wen Qin replied.

The two talked for a long time, and it was probably evening when Wen Qin finally sent Ye Liuyun back to the Changsheng Sect. However, Ye Liuyun did not mention that he had received many gifts.

Since they don't need so many high-level treasures right now, it's better to wait until they need them before making a decision. Making a decision now will only create unnecessary trouble.

However, when it comes to people you completely trust, you certainly can't be stingy.

As soon as Ye Liuyun returned, he called Liusu and Heiniu over and asked them to come to his parents' place.

Upon arriving here, Ye Liuyun told them that he had acquired a large number of treasures at Wen Qin's banquet.

"Wow, Master, what's your relationship with this Wen Qin? She's so close to you that she gave you all the gifts that others gave her. How many treasures are those? There are quite a few Immortal Lord level treasures among them!" Black Ox exclaimed.

Black Bull's words immediately alerted the Bei Ming Piao Xu couple.

"Yes, Yun'er, you haven't found someone new again, have you? Although your father and I won't stop you, you should think it through. If you find another wife, how will you explain it to Aoxue in the future?" Bei Ming Piaoxu said earnestly.

Ye Liuyun was speechless as he looked at the strange looks in the eyes of the four people.

"Well, Father, Mother, do you think I'm the kind of person who likes to flirt? I'm a very focused person, okay? Sister Wenqin gave me so many treasures because I helped her become the Heavenly King," Ye Liuyun quickly explained.

That's even more exaggerated.

"What? You helped her become a Celestial King? How did you help her?" Ye Kai exclaimed in surprise.

Liu Su and Hei Niu immediately turned their attention to Ye Liuyun. They were certainly very curious about how Ye Liuyun had managed to do it. They knew that Wen Qin was able to become a celestial being thanks to Ye Liuyun, but how could becoming a Celestial King also be thanks to Ye Liuyun?

"It's simple. As long as she has enough merit, that's all that matters. You don't know, but after I came up from the lower realm, I carried a massive amount of merit with me. I directly sponsored her with a merit-based magic treasure that could be exchanged for the position of Heavenly King, so that she could become a Heavenly King. Do you understand now?" Ye Liuyun said directly.

Well, now that we've said that, Black Bull and his crew were completely dumbfounded, as if struck by lightning.

After they ascended to the immortal realm, although they had some merit, it was only enough for them to live on, so how could they possibly help others?

"How much merit do you have?" Bei Ming Piaoxu asked incredulously.

Ye Liuyun smiled mysteriously.

"Hehe, all I can say is that even sponsoring a few more Immortal Kings wouldn't be a problem. As for how much, I haven't counted carefully, but it's a lot," Ye Liuyun said with a strange laugh.

Indeed, although she sponsored Wen Qin to become a meritorious immortal king, the storage ring was actually only of medium merit among many merit treasures. The one that truly accrued the most merit was definitely the clothes she often wore.

These are just the things she frequently uses; adding in the other treasures she occasionally uses, her merits are immense.

"Hey kid, you better hurry up and sponsor your old man," Ye Kai couldn't sit still any longer.

“Yes, Master, we shouldn’t let the good stuff go to outsiders. Why would you be willing to help others but not your own people? You said you’d give one to me and one to Liusu, so wouldn’t that be like having two Immortal Kings protecting you?” Black Ox quickly added.

Ye Liuyun naturally understood this principle.

"The problem is that the Immortal King title obtained through merit has many limitations. You will be subject to the restrictions of the Heavenly Dao and the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court for the rest of your life. If you want to accept the shackles and constraints, I can grant your request," Ye Liuyun said earnestly.

Upon hearing this, Liusu and Heiniu immediately abandoned the idea.

They thought about it carefully and realized it made sense. If becoming a meritorious immortal king was really that good, why didn't Ye Liuyun exchange for the Heavenly King position himself, but instead chose to become an immortal?

"Furthermore, the Immortal King realm obtained through merit exchange can be taken away at any time. But with me here, you can eventually become Immortal Kings by cultivating slowly. Why use such a method with so many drawbacks?" Ye Liuyun continued.

Alright, with Ye Liuyun's words, they really don't need to think about it anymore.

Little did Ye Liuyun know that what she said had been overheard by the Moon Goddess and the Eastern Emperor.

"Good heavens, this little girl has some big ambitions! Could she be trying to take my place? Even a Celestial King isn't enough for her? And she even has a lot of merit points that she can exchange for a Heavenly King's position?" Donghuang was speechless.

The Moon Goddess was speechless. If it were before, they would never have believed what Ye Liuyun said, but now the facts were right in front of them, leaving them no choice but to believe.

“However, I suddenly realized why your two masters sent us to contact her. I think the most important issue is the God Clan. You should have sensed it by now, this girl is destined to deal with the God Clan in the future,” the Moon Goddess said solemnly.

Donghuang was taken aback.

"Dealing with the gods is impossible unless she is truly an incarnation of the Heavenly Venerable. If the gods were so easy to deal with, our four Heavenly Courts would have joined forces long ago to make them disappear from the stage of history," the Eastern Emperor said helplessly.

In their view, to deal with the gods, one must confront the Celestial Venerables, and the Celestial Venerables have never clashed over such matters.

They haven't mentioned any battles between the Celestials.

Even an incarnation of a Celestial Venerable wouldn't be able to, because a fight between Celestial Venerables would likely destroy the Pangu Great World.

Moreover, in the primordial era, an ancient god challenged the avatar of the Celestial Venerable, and was annihilated by the Celestial Venerable's finger. The ancient god can be said to be the strongest being in the Pangu Great World.

Speaking of which, the ancient gods are a realm more powerful than the immortal emperors; that realm is called the Dao Ancestor Realm.

For example, Zhulong of the Dragon Clan, and Yuanfeng and Yuanhuang of the Phoenix Clan, they are all at this level.

They are known as the first generation of innate beings in the Pangu Great World. They were born at the pinnacle of this world. However, these ancient gods all had their own missions, which was to diversify the various races.

It brings vitality to all the heavens and myriad worlds, giving rise to all kinds of living beings.

This is why, once the Primordial Era ended, these powerful ancient gods disappeared; they were forced to end themselves to complete the Great Dao of the Pangu World.

This is why Yuanhuang said that they had merged with the Pangu Great World.

This is their mission. Of the first generation of ancient gods, almost none survived. There were some in the second generation, such as the Eastern Emperor Moon God, who was a second generation.

There are three generations of innate beings. They were actually born at the same time, but they developed intelligence at different times. Those who developed self-awareness first had already divided up the fortune of the Pangu Great World and became Dao Ancestors. The second generation did not have this opportunity and could only remain at the Immortal Emperor realm.

However, these ancient gods made a huge move when they were fighting for control of the Immortal Realm, almost shattering all the heavens and myriad realms. In the end, the Heavenly Venerable intervened and wiped out most of the innate beings at the Immortal Emperor level, allowing them to return to their original world and further complete the Heavenly Dao.

As for Donghuang Yueshen and the others, they were not wiped out because of the protection of the Heavenly Venerable. Some of the former Immortal Emperor powerhouses were suppressed because the Heavenly Dao was repaired, and their realms fell to the Immortal Emperor realm, remaining at the peak of the Immortal King realm.

Then several major battles broke out in the immortal realm, all for the position of Immortal Emperor, resulting in the deaths of a large number of innate beings.

Even now, the number of innate beings in the Pangu Great World is probably very small, and even if some are still alive, most of them have disappeared.

In other words, the number of Immortal Kings in the Immortal Realm is definitely not limited to the current number; it's just that we can only see these powerful Immortal Kings at present.

"But what if she really has the ability to deal with the gods? Should we give her a push?" the Moon Goddess asked rhetorically.

Donghuang nodded without hesitation.

"If that day ever comes, it will be the day when the gods withdraw from the Immortal Realm. Only when the gods no longer control the Immortal Realm can it truly become a blessed land for all the heavens and myriad realms. Otherwise, it will only be a prison for all the heavens and myriad realms," Donghuang said.

The current purpose of the Immortal Realm is to stabilize the Pangu Great World, attracting all the top experts from various lower planes to the Immortal Realm to restrict them, or rather, to prevent them from causing any more trouble and affecting the balance of the myriad worlds.

The reason for doing this was that after the gods took control of the immortal realm, they extensively gathered and controlled the geniuses of various races to control the myriad realms, causing the myriad realms to almost become the gods' backyard.

Therefore, the gods still like to say that the Immortal Realm belongs to them, because they were undoubtedly the overlords of the Immortal Realm from the primordial era to the early and middle stages of the ancient era.

However, in the later stages of the Primordial Era, the actions of the gods aroused the dissatisfaction of the Celestial Venerable. In addition, with the rise of the human race, they took this opportunity to divide the Immortal Realm into five parts: east, south, west, north, and center, which also indirectly weakened the influence of the gods.

The reason why the gods are disliked by other races is because they were created by the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Laws using the remnant will of the Celestial Venerable of Pangu.

The first god to be created was the God Ancestor. Because she had the lingering resentment of Pangu, she considered herself the master of the Pangu Great World. She was so arrogant that she looked down on even the Heavenly Venerable. In the end, the Heavenly Venerable of Myriad Laws, who created her, personally destroyed her and then the second generation of gods emerged, namely the Jade Emperor and his group.
