Chapter 349: Just Do It!

At this moment, countless gazes turned toward the direction of the Mohe Divine Prison, all filled with shock and curiosity — who was it in the Mohe Divine Prison that was seeking to prove their way and ascend to godhood?

　　Mohe Divine Prison.

　　Above the Mohe Divine Prison, in the river of stars, streams of starlight surged endlessly from within the stellar river. At the same time, an incomparably terrifying aura spread outward from the depths of the cosmic star river, bearing down upon everything.

　　The powerful figures of the Mohe Divine Prison witnessed this scene and were all greatly alarmed. Their shock quickly turned to curiosity as they looked toward the back mountain — just who was seeking to prove their way and become a god?

　　At the top of the back mountain, a man stood at the peak, his body enveloped by boundless starlight, like a deity descended from the heavens. The starlight was dazzling and brilliant, illuminating the entire star river as though it were broad daylight.

　　That man was none other than Ye Tianming!

　　Inside his storage ring, he had spent a full five years thoroughly comprehending the Star God’s Star God Dao. He then drew upon the power of the myriad stars within the cosmic star river and began his charge toward the True God realm!

　　His physical body alone!

　　The main issue was that he had no money. Otherwise, given a little more time, he could have broken through in cultivation realm as well.

　　Not far behind him stood Yong Xi and the prison master.

　　The prison master’s face was flushed with excitement. “The High God is about to recover.”

　　Yong Xi watched Ye Tianming in silence, for she had realized that the High God before her eyes was not recovering — he was… breaking through.

　　Recovery and a breakthrough… were still somewhat different things.

　　She was a little puzzled.

　　Ye Tianming stood at the mountain peak. At this moment, he was like a massive vortex, as endless streams of stellar light converged upon him without cease. Right now, his body was undergoing earth-shattering changes at a speed visible to the naked eye.

　　Outside the Mohe Divine Prison, the hall masters of the various divine halls saw this scene, and their expressions immediately darkened. Clearly, this Mohe Divine Prison’s —

　　But just as they were about to launch an all-out assault, suddenly they saw an anomaly emerge in another star river.

　　”That is the Divine Dao — someone is seeking to prove their way and ascend to godhood!”

　　Someone cried out in alarm.

　　The several hall masters were all shaken.

　　The one in Mohe Divine Prison seeking to become a god was something they could understand. After all, that person had originally been a god, so this could only be called a restoration.

　　But what was going on with the one in the other star domain?

　　Very soon, they saw the terrifying aura from the Mohe Divine Prison clash against the terrifying aura from the other star river.

　　Jin Qing, the hall master of the Divine Dao Hall, said in a deep voice, “A contest of the Divine Dao!”

　　Chu Nai stared at that distant star river. “Let’s wait and see…”

　　The remaining hall masters all nodded, deciding to observe for the time being.

　　At the mountain peak, when Ye Tianming sensed that other aura, he was also momentarily stunned.

　　Someone else was also seeking to prove their way and become a god?

　　He raised his head and looked out, and within that distant star river, he spotted a familiar silhouette.

　　When he made out who it was, he was genuinely surprised.

　　Qing Zhi!

　　Qing Zhi was not looking his way. She walked step by step deeper into the great dao.

　　She bore an incomparably terrifying obsession.

　　And it was precisely that obsession that drove her to keep living, that drove her to walk toward those heights.

　　Ye Tianming withdrew his gaze and once again began absorbing stellar power with mad intensity.

　　Though she was a friend, this was not the moment to yield.

　　In his view, this was a gentleman’s contest.

　　If he could win, then the divine dao would be his, Ye Tianming’s.

　　If he could not, then he would offer his blessings.

　　He raised his head and looked toward the depths of the star river.

　　But very quickly, he felt a bit awkward.

　　Damn it!

　　There was no Divine Dao!

　　Under normal circumstances, once the conditions were met, a Divine Dao would descend to guide him.

　　And right now, he undoubtedly met those conditions.

　　But —

　　No Divine Dao?

　　Ye Tianming stared into the depths of the star river, brows furrowed tightly. I get targeted down below, and now I come here only to get targeted again?

　　That shouldn’t be, right?

　　Just then, the prison master below hurriedly said, “High God, you must make a vow to the gods… you should know this.”

　　Ye Tianming fell silent.

　　He suddenly remembered.

　　In the Age of the Gods, anyone who sought to prove their way and become a god had to make a vow to the gods. As long as a god recognized it, the Divine Dao would descend to receive them.

　　That vow was, in essence, pledging one’s faith to a god.

　　To become an official — a high official — you had to have someone above you.

　　To become a god, you had to have a god above you.

　　Without a god, you could not ascend at all.

　　Faith?

　　Ye Tianming fell silent.

　　His beliefs were incompatible with those of the gods — what the hell was he supposed to have faith in?

　　It was certainly impossible for him to have faith in any of them, and even if he tried, none of the gods would believe it either.

　　What was he to do?

　　Ye Tianming raised his head and looked into the depths of the star river, his eyes narrowing slightly.

　　A thought took shape in his mind.

　　No path?

　　Then forge one!

　　Fight his way up!

　　Just thinking about it made his blood boil with excitement.

　　But he quickly calmed down.

　　No!

　　Hot-bloodedness came with a price.

　　After taking a beating from the Yang family, he had learned to be steady and composed.

　　If he charged in now — damn it — could he even take on all the gods?

　　Obviously not.

　　He couldn’t beat a single one of them, and he might end up getting gang-beaten on top of that.

　　Without the blessing of a Divine Dao, Ye Tianming’s dao aura was immediately suppressed by Qing Zhi’s.

　　Seeing this, the prison master grew somewhat anxious and hurriedly said, “High God, make your vow quickly!”

　　Ye Tianming glanced at him. “Which of the gods is worthy of my faith?”

　　The prison master was first taken aback, then suddenly snapped to his senses. Damn, he had almost forgotten that the person before him was a High God himself.

　　Ask someone like this to pledge faith to another god?

　　That did seem a little…

　　The prison master asked, “Then, High God, what do you intend to do?”

　　Ye Tianming looked into the void. “Since there is no path, I should forge one. I’ve decided to fight my way up!”

　　Fight his way up!

　　Holy shit!

　　The prison master’s face was full of shock. Are you really that badass?

　　Yong Xi was also somewhat taken aback.

　　Then Ye Tianming suddenly added, “Today isn’t the right time to fight. I’ll pick another day.”

　　Prison master: “……..”

　　Ye Tianming raised his head and looked toward Qing Zhi at the end of the star river. After a brief moment of quiet contemplation, he swept his sleeve, and every trace of his dao aura dispersed completely.

　　He stepped aside of his own accord!

　　On that crimson great dao, Qing Zhi walked step by step toward the heights. With each step she took, her obsession grew deeper.

　　In the end, the strength of her obsession had grown so powerful that the entire crimson great dao trembled because of it.

　　Down below, Cang Wen watched Qing Zhi’s aura grow ever more terrifying and was overcome with excitement.

　　Beside him, however, Gu Qing’s expression was unusually calm.

　　Cang Wen said excitedly, “Dean, Qing Zhi is about to prove her way and become a god…”

　　Saying that, he suddenly realized something, and turned to look at Gu Qing.

　　Seeing Gu Qing’s expression, Cang Wen was a little puzzled. “Dean, you…”

　　Gu Qing watched Qing Zhi grow ever more distant, and said softly, “She no longer belongs to the Divine Academy.”

　　Cang Wen’s face instantly went pale.

　　Indeed!

　　Would Qing Zhi, having already proven her way and become a god, still have any connection to the Divine Academy?

　　Obviously not.

　　And so, under the gaze of everyone, Qing Zhi walked step by step along that crimson great dao, while her aura underwent earth-shattering changes as it was tempered by the divine flame.

　　In the end, the entire divine spirit universe felt an unprecedented pressure.

　　That was the divine spirit’s might!

　　Ye Tianming was also watching Qing Zhi — that pressure was undeniably formidable, he had to admit.

　　Of course, he was mostly just happy.

　　Because he knew that if Elder Qing Yuan ever found out about this, he would surely be too overjoyed to sleep.

　　Just then, Qing Zhi on the crimson great dao suddenly surged once more, and the aura she unleashed directly swept across the entire divine spirit universe.

　　She had proven her way and become a god!

　　A terrifying divine spirit might swept through all things, bearing down upon the heavens.

　　But in just an instant, that terrifying divine spirit might vanished without a trace, for Qing Zhi had already disappeared.

　　The crimson great dao vanished along with her.

　　The star river returned to calm.

　　Everyone was still in a daze.

　　Someone had truly been able to prove their way and become a god.

　　In other words, as long as one’s fortune was sufficient, it was possible to become a god.

　　This undoubtedly gave hope to countless people.

　　Outside the Mohe Divine Prison.

　　The four hall masters had also come back to their senses by now. They exchanged glances, and it had to be said — they were deeply shaken.

　　After the Age of the Gods, no one had ever been able to become a god.

　　But now… someone had actually become a god right before their eyes.

　　This hit them hard.

　　Jin Qing said in a deep voice, “What do you all think?”

　　Chu Nai said, “This matter must be set aside for now.”

　　The remaining three hall masters looked toward Chu Nai, who then looked in the direction of the Mohe Divine Prison. “Don’t forget — the one over there also nearly became a god just now.”

　　Upon hearing this, the expressions of the group all grew grave.

　　Indeed, the one in the Mohe Divine Prison had also nearly become a god once more just now.

　　If that person succeeded, then all of them would instantly become nothing more than sitting ducks.

　　Although the supreme laws suppressed powerful beings of the True God level from appearing in this universe, that person could easily slaughter them all when departing.

　　Of course, even after departing, if no other god intervened, they could be killed all the same.

　　Chu Nai fixed his gaze on the distant Mohe Divine Prison. “We cannot give them any more time. We must deal with them as quickly as possible.”

　　Jin Qing said, “Move now!”

　　The other two hall masters both nodded in agreement.

　　Chu Nai said, “First, break the sealing formation left behind by the Mohe God…”

　　As he spoke, he suddenly opened his palm. “Raise the formation!”

　　In the Tianzhu Star Domain, tens of millions of streams of divine light suddenly shot into the sky. They converged at a single point and formed a massive golden formation array, and from within that array, a terrifying aura swept outward.

　　God-slaying weapons!

　　A formation built from god-slaying weapons!

　　The Tianzhu Divine Formation!

　　The mightiest divine formation of the Tianzhu Star Domain!

　　The Tianzhu Star Domain had moved, and they had gone straight to their trump card.

　　Witnessing this, the prison master inside the distant Mohe Divine Prison instantly darkened his expression. “They’re going all in.”

　　Saying that, he suddenly raised his arm and waved it down. “Defense!”

　　Boom!

　　Inside the Mohe Divine Prison, one terrifying aura after another shot into the sky.

　　The Mohe Divine Prison also had a formation array left behind by the Mohe God in those ancient days. However, during the Age of the Gods, that formation had been battered by the combined assault of the gods, and as a result, the Mohe God Formation was now at critically low strength.

　　The prison master seemed to think of something and quickly came to Ye Tianming’s side, bowing respectfully. “High God, what is your view?”

　　Ye Tianming looked toward the Tianzhu Star Domain and said calmly, “Just fight and be done with it!”

　　Prison master: “…….”
