[This method can work. But to really act upon it, we need to start a battle of gods. However, there is no longer enough godhoods in the Origin World. When I created godhoods, I did so by congealing them within the three thousand grand daos. A part of them has been lost with time, but the majority of them still exist in this world.

[Creating the three calamities and nine tribulations isn’t difficult, but what is difficult is creating the fragments of laws to be used as repayment after crossing the tribulation passing stage. If you want to bring a transformation, you can only make the gods of the Origin World perish. The higher number of gods who perish, the higher number of people will be able to become gods in the future,] the system slowly explained.

After learning about the cultivation system from Yan Wanqiu, Li Yunmu immediately realized that the path they were walking originally was wrong. Right then, since he knew how to change the situation, he was firm in his decision to continue.

Origin World’s gods had to die. And even if they did not die, they had to at least hand over their godhood and be reborn as completely new people.

“I have thought about this problem. The gods of Ancient Lands have already perished, so many of the grand daos should’ve been reborn in the world. Furthermore, the battle of gods is continuing in Lanlou, so even more grand daos will appear after it is finished, “Li Yunmu communicated mentally to the system .

After he finished talking, the system’s sneer echoed in his mind, and it said, [Do you think only several people would have become gods using godhood in Lanlou apart from the seven ancient gods? Also in the Ancient Lands, did you think that there were only a few ancient gods in it when you destroyed it?]

Li Yunmu carefully thought about it. People had been using power of belief in Lanlou for a long time to become gods. From the original three thousand godhoods, many had disappeared or perhaps were in the bodies of others, which meant that there were none remaining in the world. Not one of the several thousand gods under the seven ancient gods had used godhood to become a god, so even if they died, the godhood wouldn’t appear in the world.

It was really a deep fraud…

Li Yunmu was somewhat embarrassed. He had already thought of how to transform the Origin World, but he lacked the godhood. Additionally, the system’s other words caught his attention. Weren’t there too few ancient gods in the Ancient Lands?

After some careful thinking, he recalled that there were four ancient gods in Ancient Lands at that time. Besides them, there were only a few scattered gods.

At that time, he had undergone demonic transformation and destroyed the Ancient Lands so he didn’t think much about it. Now though, he did find it somewhat strange.

Lanlou claimed the highest number of gods in the Origin World. The other four regions had very few gods. But the Ancient Lands were different, and when he had gone there at that time, the outer periphery had a seal so it could be assumed that some sort of unforeseen accident had happened in the Ancient Lands previously.

“What happened in the Ancient Lands back in the day?” Li Yunmu asked in his mind.

[You should think about it yourself. Why would the other four regions have so many gods, while the Ancient Lands had so few?]

After saying that, the system disappeared, leaving behind a dumbfounded Li Yunmu. Who would know why the number of gods in the Ancient Lands was so small! Right then, he was most concerned about whether the godhoods of Lanlou and Ancient Lands could maintain the consumption in the early stages of transformation.

As the red-crowned cranes flew through the sky, the twins were holding onto feathers with their hands and curiously looking around. Yan Wanqiu, in the meantime, was focused on Jue Qingzi. She sunk into contemplation from time to time, then would shake her head and sigh. Occasionally, she also glanced at the nightscape while holding a chicken leg in her hand.

Li Yunmu snapped back to attention and looked at the chicken leg in Yan Wanqiu’s hand, then asked with some surprise, “This is your fortieth today, right?”

From the time he began traveling with Jue Qingzi and the others, he had seen Yan Wanqiu eat one chicken leg followed by another. Due to boredom, he even counted them and realized that it was her fortieth one.

Yan Wanqiu noticed the hint of astonishment in Li Yunmu’s tone and said while shaking her head without paying much attention to the surprise, “You are wrong. From the time we started to when we encountered you, I had already eaten a hundred chicken legs. Just now, while you were thinking, this elder sister settled a few more. In fact, today I have eaten one hundred and fifty-two chicken legs.”

As she said that, she nibbled on the chicken leg in her hand, and a hint of satisfaction appeared on her face.

Li Yunmu looked at the twins who had been silently sitting in the back and suspiciously asked Yan Wanqiu, “Are Dong Tongtong and Tong Dongdong mute? They haven’t said anything throughout the whole journey.”

“They aren’t mute. They are practicing a secret technique of Profound Sword Pavilion, which is quite similar to the silent meditation of buddist schools. From the time they begin cultivation, they cannot speak, but their cultivation gradually increases as time passes. Once they open their mouth, they will shoot a sword beam.

“According to legends, there was previously an elder of Profound Sword Sect who had kept his mouth closed from returning to the origin stage to the great principal golden immortal stage. Later, when the pavilion encountered a formidable enemy, he opened his mouth and destroyed them in one attack.”

The secret technique mentioned by Yan Wanqiu was rather mystical and somewhat abnormal. Even those with high aptitude would require at least a thousand years from returning origin to great principal golden immortal. Who would be able to endure not speaking a word for a thousand years?

Yan Wanqiu threw away the chicken bone, wiped the oil using her handkerchief, and said, “Oh right, we need to swap the cultivation methods of our world, as we agreed just now.”

Li Yunmu nodded. He took out five cultivation relaying globes created in Asura City and three more of high level cultivation skills created by the system. The eight pearl-sized cultivation relaying globes began to float in the air above his hand.

Yan Wanqiu took the eight cultivation relaying globes, then placed them on the jade bracelet on her left hand. A faint light flickered, and the cultivation relaying globes instantly disappeared. After that, she extended her two fingers toward her head and pulled out a white feather. After rubbing it a few times, she handed it over to Li Yunmu.

The two of them completed the exchange to their satisfaction.

Yan Wanqiu then looked to the front and said in a calm tone, “We’ve arrived at the god ruins.”

Following her gaze, Li Yunmu saw an enormous mountain soaring to the heavens, A few sparkling flames could be seen halfway up the mountain, where the presences of several tribulation passing stage people were hidden. They had varying strength, but the most formidable among them was at the peak tribulation passing stage while the weakest was at the initial tribulation passing stage.

Li Yunmu looked at the late tribulation passing stage Jue Qingzi, who was sitting like a statue and who could be considered among the upper tier of people rushing to contest for the god ruins. If he used his full strength, he might even come out as a winner.

Li Yunmu thought about Yan Wanqiu’s previous words and turned around to enquire, “Looking at these people, Jue Qingzi’s strength should be among the upper tier, then how come he hasn’t be able to snatch a godhood after remaining in the night pearl’s small world for so many years?”

The moment he said that, a resentful expression appeared on Yan Wanqiu’s face, and she hatefully said, “Only if senior apprentice brother didn’t have so many apprehensions. Although his strength is among the upper tier in the night pearl small world, he is worried about Leng Family’s enormous strength and that young master of Leng Family had helped reserve a spot for me and the twins. Therefore, senior apprentice brother is very grateful toward Leng Family’s young master.

“Many years have passed in the night pearl’s small world, and he has been turned into a complete lackey who opens the path to the ruins for others. As a result, the young master of the Leng Family has obtained godhood again and again, so now many of his henchmen have already comprehended the laws and are on the eve of becoming immortals!”
