Chapter 364: God Kingdom

"Oh, you're all here."

Li Heng saw the group and said with a smile.

At this moment, whether it was those Heavenly Humans, the ancient sages, or Wang Yangming, all of them wore expressions of disbelief.

Especially when they sensed the aura of world destruction that had lingered on Li Heng for so long, a monstrous storm surged in their hearts; could it be that the disappearance of the Yin World was related to Li Heng?

"What's wrong with you all? You look so strange."

Li Heng raised an eyebrow and said slowly.

They regained their composure, and Kong Sheng spoke first.

"Fellow Daoist Li, do you know what happened to the Yin World?"

"Oh, so that's what you're asking about; it exploded."

Li Heng answered nonchalantly.

The group was stunned for a moment. It exploded?

Such a massive Yin World just exploded like that, just because he said so? They wanted to question him further, but thinking of that aura of world destruction and the fact that the Yin World had vanished into thin air, they fell silent again.

"May I ask Fellow Daoist Li, how did the Yin World explode?"

Kong Sheng was silent for a moment, then slowly asked again.

He already had an answer in his heart, but this answer was somewhat inconceivable, so he hoped Li Heng would answer it himself; perhaps it was some other answer?

However, the following words confirmed his guess.

"How else could it explode? Of course, I beat it until it exploded, what else? If the Yin World is destroyed, it will explode; isn't that a matter of Reason, just like how monsters die when they are killed?"

Li Heng shrugged, indicating that this was very unremarkable.

Once these words were spoken, everyone fell completely silent.

They had already considered many possibilities.

For example, the Yin World had fled, or it had been concealed by an Array, or it had encountered a catastrophe that suddenly descended from the Void and was destroyed; these things were not impossible.

But among so many possibilities.

They thought the possibility of Li Heng destroying the Yin World was the smallest.

Even though all the evidence pointed to Li Heng.

After all, could a living being be powerful enough to destroy Heaven and Earth? It was inconceivable.

As it turned out, the fact was this smallest possibility.

Li Heng had beaten the Yin World until it exploded and wiped it out!

They did not think Li Heng was deceiving them, as such deception was entirely unnecessary, so they quickly accepted this fact, but the shock in their hearts still could not subside for a long time.

And because of this, another guess was derived.

That was the extent of Li Heng's strength.

Could it be that this Fellow Daoist Li had already taken another step forward?

Had he glimpsed the path ahead that they could not even hope to reach?

"When I wiped out the Yin World, I sealed it off, yet you all noticed so quickly. It seems the destruction of the Yin World caused some changes in the Present World?"

Li Heng laughed.

Sealed the Yin World? The group was stunned once again.

Could it be that he didn't just destroy the entire Yin World, but even all the powerhouses within the Yin World were wiped out? For example, those Heavenly Weirds, Heavenly Demons, or even those in the Void Heaven Realm who had lived for several epochs?

At this moment, they could not help but gasp.

Although the Yin World was only split off from the Xianshi Tiandi, the scale of that split was not small; it took away much of the foundation of the Xianshi Tiandi and nurtured many peerless Great Demons and Great Weirds.

Yet now they had all died at Li Heng's hands?

Not just one step forward, but two steps forward, right?

"But let the influence be what it may; long pain is worse than short pain. Now that the Yin World is completely finished, there won't be any demons or Weirds from the Yin World coming to invade the Present World."

Li Heng's words rang out softly and quite opportunely.

Confirming this point.

The group regained their senses, took a deep breath, looked at each other, and immediately performed a salute, bowing deeply to Li Heng.

"We, on behalf of the Present World, thank Fellow Daoist (Senior) for your great kindness!"

A few days later.

The news of the Yin World's destruction spread throughout the entire Present World.

With the intentional promotion and fueling by various factions, the might of Li Heng and the name of Emperor Lord Youming spread across the Present World, and even the God Kingdom in the Jixi Zhidi had to acknowledge this supreme deity.

The Jixi Zhidi of the Present World.

Here stood a kingdom ruled by gods; because it was too far from the Center of the Present World, it was not well-known and even possessed a temperament incompatible with the Present World.

The common people within were all lambs of the gods, tools for the gods to harvest the power of faith. However, ironically, even so, the happiness level of the people in this kingdom was much higher than in other dynasties; although they could not study to gain wisdom, at least they could live well.

Above the kingdom stood a supreme divine palace.

Named the Pantheon.

At this moment in the Pantheon, all the gods were gathered, waiting only for their God King to arrive. Soon, before all the gods, a flash of golden light appeared, and a god radiating golden light stepped through the Void and emerged.

Seeing this, all the gods bowed their heads and shouted.

"We pay our respects to the Great God King."

The golden-light god nodded and spoke in a loud voice.

"I presume you all know about the matter of Emperor Lord Youming."

The gods nodded.

Some of them held good feelings toward Emperor Lord Youming, some were disdainful, and some were very jealous and harbored malice. But regardless of their attitude, this Emperor Lord Youming was an existence they had to take seriously.

"Therefore, we should set off and leave this Heaven and Earth."

God King Jinguang changed the subject and spoke indifferently.

The gods were startled upon hearing this.

"May we ask the Great God King, why is this? Even if that Emperor Lord of the Netherworld is overly powerful, that does not conflict with us, does it? We have not been causing trouble in the Present World either."

God King Jinguang spoke again.

"This Heaven and Earth is already finished; the appearance of the Emperor Lord of the Netherworld is merely a final flicker of light before extinction, so why stay here and throw your lives away? Moreover, that Emperor Lord of the Netherworld has already seized control of Heaven and Earth Samsara, and the souls of us, the penned lambs, can no longer reach our God Kingdom."

"Since that is the case, there is no longer any meaning in staying here."

God King Jinguang's gaze was deep as he made his decision.

Little did they know that this conversation of theirs had already fallen into the ears of Li Heng, who was located in the Netherworld on the other side of time and space.

Li Heng looked up at the sky above the Netherworld,

at that colorful Faith Light River.

This Faith Light River was the manifestation of the living beings of the Present World having faith in the Emperor Lord of the Netherworld; originally it was incomparably tiny and had not even manifested, but because the Emperor Lord of the Netherworld's reputation had soared, this Faith Light River had become incomparably huge, manifesting to run through the Netherworld.

Although it was of no use to him.

While looking at the scenery within the Netherworld, he thought about the words of God King Jinguang and revealed an amused expression.

No wonder this God Kingdom in Jixi Zhidi was so out of place; it actually had the means to leave the Present World and wander the Great Void? This God Kingdom was highly likely to be an outsider!

However, Li Heng did not intend to stop them.

After all, he truly had no conflict with this God Kingdom.

He even intended to get involved, to separate a clone or a wisp of Divine Sense to accompany this God Kingdom as it left the Present World to see if there would be any new discoveries.

Thinking of this.

A wisp of Divine Sense manifested and flew directly toward the western God Kingdom.

Having done this, returning to the main topic, Li Heng looked toward the depths of the Netherworld at the clone of the Emperor Lord of the Netherworld, who was extracting the Weilai Yinjie from the Heavenly Dao Book, his eyes deep.

Suddenly, a light flashed.

The extraction of the Weilai Yinjie from the Heavenly Dao Book was successful.
