In the Bright History of nine thousand years, after the divine warfare between the Yin Yang Two Realms, Fire Refining Dan Realm Heavenly Venerable has secluded himself in closed-door cultivation immediately after revival.

Slumbering, He became a silent sacrifice to Shen Ni, dying without any noise or struggle.

Mutual Gaze Corpse also launched a sneak attack on Bao Hua Perfect Heavenly Venerate, successfully offering him as a sacrifice.

Bright God Emperor discovered their abnormalities. Pretending not to see, He even actively concealed Shen Ni's movements, making both the wide-reaching Guangdu and Zhu Ling, commanding their respective Heavenly Venerate statuses, completely unaware.

After arranging a great Kill Array in His own Divine Palace, clutching an Image Keeping Mirror from the Taixu Country, He deeply fell into sleep.

He had a premonition, that once asleep, He might never awaken again.

But what of it?

"Bright matters are unfinished, there will be successors!"

"Infinite, I have lost, but don't you even think about winning!"

~~~~~

"Quite decisive in action!" Ming River mourned Fire Refining and Bao Hua for a second.

"They are dead through and through; no need to pay respect anymore."

Xuanqing gave a reminder, and Ming River, who was about to bow, immediately straightened up chest out.

"This Six Soul Banner is finally refined." Ming River embarrassingly changed the topic, having acted for too long, it became a habit.

"It's rare to replicate such formal artifacts; took some time indeed."

Xuanqing held aloft a long banner, nine feet six inches three points in height, fluttering in the wind, its six tails flying high, emitting brilliant divine light, pure and immaculate without the slightest hint of malignant aura.

Because over the years, the boundless creatures of the two universes worshipped day and night, Xuanqing took the opportunity to refine falsehood into truth, fusing the laws of light into it, and thus calling it the Bright God Banner would also be fitting.

"Here, your Book of Brightness is also refined." Xuanqing handed the Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book to Ming River, along with the Curse Puppet, seven golden arrows, and two Spirit Lamps in preparation.

Ming River, pleased with the new Spiritual Treasures, said with a smile, "With these, even if we impersonate the Curse Demon God, no deity would suspect us!"

"Unfortunately, such replicated Spiritual Treasures are destined to be consumables, if they don't exhaust the user, they'll have to exhaust the artifact itself." Xuanqing looked at the Six Soul Banner in his hands, feeling it still paled in comparison to Dark Demon God's Dao Artifact.

Indeed, genuine Spiritual Treasures are useful, but they are too limited.

"When exhausted, we just refine more." Ming River placed a Talisman bearing the large characters "Infinite Heavenly Venerable" onto the Curse Puppet.

"Next time, let's strive to refine something unconventional."

So spoke Xuanqing.

"Alright!"

Ming River placed a Soul Lamp on top and beneath the head of the Curse Puppet.

Then he began the ritual worship.

Boom~~

Upon the Space-Time River above the Xuantai Universe, endless faith's divine light covered every corner.

Within the sea of faith, a towering figure sat cross-legged amidst it.

Half of His countenance was calm and gentle, the other half greedy and ferocious.

Infinite Heavenly Venerable, with eyes closed, smiling amidst tears, the faith imbued with terrifying curse power dragged Him into the abyss, unable to extricate Himself.

Without surprise, in several days, He would either be worshipped to death by Xuanqing, cursed to death by Ming River, or at the moment of utmost frailty, despatched by Shen Ni's prepared sacrificial spell to reunite with His kin.

Regrettably, more than the aforementioned Innate Gods were eyeing Infinite Heavenly Venerable.

The sound of waves rising, a towering figure stepped into this space on the Qiankun Cauldron.

Primordial Qilin cast one glance at the Infinite Demon God enveloped in divine faith light, deeply wary of the terrible curse mingled within.

"What a useless lot."

Primordial Qilin took out a golden mallet from His sleeve and fiercely struck Infinite Heavenly Venerable on the head!

Thud!!!

The next instant, Primordial Qilin vanished.

Boom! Boom! Boom!!!

"Who?!"

Space-Time River churned with giant waves, and Infinite Heavenly Venerable, holding His head, yelled out.

He actually awoke from the depths of the curse.

Strangely struck by a hammer, Infinite Heavenly Venerable's spiritually polluted wisdom cleared up a fair bit.

He immediately perceived His own status.

"A curse? Who's behind this!"

Infinite Heavenly Venerable was infuriated.

"Brightness? Darkness? Or a contingency plan from Life?"

"Could it be the Curse Demon God has revived?!"

He suspected a round, yet never suspected Xuanqing.

In the eyes of Infinite Heavenly Venerable, a mere Divine King was nothing more than an ant, no threat to Him.

"Darn it, don't let me find out who you are!"

He hastily took out a pitch-black pen, writing and drawing madly on the Infinite Heavenly Book.

"Great Infinite Heavenly Venerable transcends space-time, eternally immortal."

"In the near future, Infinite Heavenly Venerable shall fulfill His wishes, gathering the faith of all creatures, accomplishing the soul's luminous Ascension, transcending all, to become the complete God!"

"Thereafter, Infinite Heavenly Venerable will flatten Jiu You, eliminating the last hindrance to the world's perfection. Thus He shall venture to the dawn of Heaven Creation unencumbered, to reclaim all that belongs to Him!"

"Even Pangu will not stop my return; I shall leave my own splendor in this era!"

"Grand is the Infinite Heavenly Venerable!"

"Magnificent is the Greedy Demon God!"

Infinite Heavenly Venerable, deep in his curse, unwittingly wrote down the last four words.

Primordial Qilin, having just left, sensed the tumult of the Space-Time River's spirit and nearly lost his breath.

"I helped you awaken to rid you of the curse; why do you still eagerly draw all those beliefs?"

"What a Greedy Demon God, has the curse made your brain foolish? Truly beyond saving."

Primordial Qilin held the drumstick in hand, hesitated repeatedly and still decided to leave an incarnation to watch the drama.

"I originally intended to use Qiankun Demon God's identity to rope you in as an ally, swooping in at the critical moment to save you."

"Now it seems I can only use you to test the mettle of those few."

"Sigh, it's a failed cause!"

~~~

"Hahahaha!!!!"

Infinite Heavenly Venerate burst into a grand laughter, standing atop the River of Time overlooking all life in the universe, calling out with ecstatic joy.

"Come! Ascend with me!"

"Lift into the clouds, Infinite Heavenly Venerate!"

"I shall become truly eternal and indestructible!"

As Infinite Heavenly Venerate called out, countless specks of light began to drift in the Central World, the fragments of Soul Light she once scattered in her quest for the Life Authority.

The Life Mother Tree, inheriting the legacy of the Life Demon God, was naturally the ruler of a Great Universe, far beyond the capabilities of the remnant powers of the Dark Demon God.

Although she was trapped to death by the scheming Infinite Heavenly Venerate because of the light, she managed to trouble the Infinite Heavenly Venerate with her last breath by leaving a contingency on the Life Dao Fruit, causing a slight imperfection to appear on the life level of Infinite Heavenly Venerate.

It was this tiny imperfection that truly hampered Infinite Heavenly Venerate, trapping her in an awkward position since she relied on faith to find a shortcut to transcendence.

She did transcend, but because the Life Dao Fruit was flawed, part of her soul ended up unable to undergo a complete transformation.

However, to say that the problem was significant would be an exaggeration.

Da Luo Supreme, forever free and indestructible.

If her combat power fell short, it fell short; simply avoid battling peers, right?

After all, bullying the Taiyi Gods was as easy as reaching directly into their grasps.

And as long as one has transcended, regardless of how, all issues can be eroded by the passing of time.

That's what Infinite Heavenly Venerate thought and what she did.

After hitting a wall in the Primordial True Realm, she decisively returned home to invade those weaker worlds, forcibly converting creatures to harvest their faith.

She just awaited the passage of time to erode the flaws from the Life Dao Fruit and to fill in her last deficiency.

If nothing went wrong, she might truly reach complete transcendence after some development.

Sadly, she was known as the Greedy Demon God.

Not only did she secretly send minions to plunder the worlds of the Dragon Clan Universe, attempting to attack the Main Temple and steal the Dragon Clan's resources.

But she also occasionally converted passing deities of the Xuantai Universe, to the point of ensnaring the epicurean and traveler, Zhen Yuanzi.

Now, even knowing the toxicity of faith, she still had to sample its flavor!

"Now, I have gathered the most pure force of faith!"

"Scattered souls of the worlds, return! I shall become perfectly complete!"

Countless lights of soul spirits surged up from every corner of the Central World, gradually drifting out of the Xuantai Universe, transcending space and time.

Infinite Heavenly Venerate redefined the purity of faith with the great power to turn falsehood into reality, hoping to eliminate the influence of the curse.

"Who is interfering!"

Shen Ni and Xiang Gu, who were performing a sacrificial ritual, spat out blood with a cry.

"He's awake!" Shen Ni had just utilized the connection of two Heavenly Venerates to Infinite to track down and sacrifice the slumbering Infinite Heavenly Venerate.

Now, with Infinite Heavenly Venerate suddenly awaking and unleashing her divine might, they suffered an intense backlash.

"It's ruined, botched!"

Xiang Gu screamed and then collapsed.

Shen Ni grabbed her: "You're not dead yet!"

"Oh, right!"

Xiang Gu felt around and was overjoyed, "I'm not dead!"

They had grasped the slim chance amidst mortal peril.

They hadn't succeeded, but they hadn't died either.

"But it'll be soon!"

Shen Ni gave a deep look to the Space-Time River, thinking Infinite Heavenly Venerate had seen through everything, ready to flee with Xiang Gu.

"Eh? Look!"

Xiang Gu stopped Shen Ni, pointing to the Jiuyou World.

A mysterious purple Lotus Platform emerged from the Underworld.

Six grand shadows stood upon the Lotus Platform.

"Didn't expect to become the main force this time!"

Meng Wuyou, holding a Jade Tablet, smiled brightly as she gazed towards the Space-Time River.

"Completing the Heavenly Venerate's will, we must not let him down!" Guang Chengzi produced a Jade Ruyi as the [Guangdu Rescue Suffering Heavenly Venerate].

Standing beside Meng Wuyou, Chi Jingzi, as [Golden Que Incarnation Heavenly Venerate], pulled out a small Taiji Diagram: "We must also protect the will of the Bright God Emperor!"

"The meddling thief, I see you; leave it to me!" Ancestor Dragon laughed as he drew the Ruo Shui Divine Sword.

"Me too, me too!" Yuan Huang, full of enthusiasm, stepped forward with the Ying Huo Spear.

Reincarnation Saint King Heavenly Venerate had a solemn face, contrasting with the light-heartedness of the other five.

He was an Innate Divine Being of this universe.

A lifetime follower of Nine Netherworld Expiation Heavenly Venerate, always serious and unsmiling.

Now, as things worsened, Nine Netherworld Expiation Heavenly Venerate immediately employed the contingency plan—his own entity, the Reincarnation Purple Jade Lotus Platform.

Five Lotus Seeds birthed from the thirty-six layers of the Chaos Green Lotus.

The Golden Lotus Seed transformed into the Merit Golden Lotus, the Red Lotus Seed became the Karma Fire Red Lotus, the Green Lotus Seed into Creation Green Lotus, and the Black Lotus into Destruction Black Lotus.

And the last Purple Lotus Seed became the Reincarnation Purple Lotus.

With such origins, Nine Netherworld Expiation Heavenly Venerate would never bow to the Chaos Demon God.

"Nine Netherworld Daoist sacrifices the ego for the greater self, reconstituting his origin; we cannot disappoint him." Ancestor Dragon, wielding the Divine Sword, stepped forward as a beam of divine light automatically separated from the purple lotus beneath his feet, projecting him directly into Chaos.

"You meddler, Supreme of Taiwei Constellation Water Star Venerable is here; where do you think you can run!"
