Chapter 696: The Fishing Feast

"The Main God is uncharacteristically generous this time, actually giving such a high reward quota, and even a portion of Source Power as a reward."

"That is only natural; you haven't looked at what rank this mission is. We had better be careful."

"Rest assured, which one of us in this squad isn't a True God who has completely passed the Four Heavenly Passes? In the evaluation system outside the Space, we are all at the level of those so-called Venerables or Great Venerables. However, I am tired of working for the Main God every day; I plan to retire after finishing this job."

Standing tall above the heavens, in the space of multiple eras.

Beings with terrifying auras and heaven-shaking might discussed, and as their momentum rotated and changed, they had already witnessed the birth and death of countless Great Thousand Worlds and multiverses; rather than calling them living beings, it would be better to call them the Dao, or Gods!

An imperial dynasty that spans multiple eras.

That supreme emperor, who looms over the heavens, spoke.

"The great army shall set out, flatten all obstacles, and bring him to Me."

"Yes!"

Countless armies below shouted in unison, and every soldier radiated an extremely terrifying baleful Qi and blood energy, causing the surrounding Heaven and Earth Great Dao to tremble and submit.

Immortal Dao Era, where the immortals gathered.

Divine Dao Era, where ten thousand gods appeared.

Buddha Kingdom Era, where ten thousand Buddhas paid homage to the sect.

Many eras and many forces began to continuously track Li Heng's trail, some of which had already seized the initiative, deduced the accurate space-time coordinates, and began to descend into the past.

Space fluctuated gradually, and a beam of transmission light descended from above the heavens, from which four or five beings walked out, each manifesting their might, causing cracks to appear in the surrounding Void.

"You are the mission target? The Main God told us to bring you back; alive is best, but dead doesn't matter, so you had best not make things difficult for us." One of the beings stepped forward, full of majesty, their Qi and blood surging like a vast ocean, and as they picked their ear, they looked at Li Heng opposite them with some helplessness.

Li Heng raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.

The Main God?

He pierced through the Causality behind these beings and suddenly realized; so that was it. It seems that no matter which space-time or which World it is, there is no shortage of these acts of raiding and looting.

"What are the coordinates of that space of yours?"

Li Heng asked with a smile.

These Reincarnators were stunned upon hearing this, then burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, you don't actually want to counter-invade the Space, do you? What are you thinking? You're a mission target on the Main God's kill list and you're still thinking about counter-invasion? Are you looking for death?"

"You should know that the Main God is not like those other skulking spaces; he doesn't care at all if we leak the space-time coordinates of the Space, because anyone who dares to trace it back is dead."

"That's right, that's right. I remember back then some indigenous people from a multiverse-level world wanted to rely on their own power to track it back, and as a result, the Main God killed them with just a flick of power."

As they spoke, these Reincarnators discussed among themselves.

"Speak and be spared."

Li Heng did not care and said this once more.

These Reincarnators were simply too weak for his current self; even if he slaughtered them, he wouldn't gain much Source Power—at the very least, it would be a drop in the bucket for his goal of three hundred million Source Power.

In that case, it would be better to lock onto the space behind them.

If they spoke, he wouldn't mind sparing their lives.

"Fine, it seems you are very confident. No wonder you dared to reveal your space-time coordinates; you must be one of those Fishing Old Men. But you miscalculated, because what you are fishing for is not a fish, but a behemoth that transcends the ocean!"

The lead Reincarnator sneered, and the other Reincarnators moved in response, directly sealing the space-time in all four directions around Li Heng, then pounced on him, wanting to quickly resolve the mission target.

"Boring."

Li Heng spat out two words lightly and waved his hand, directly erasing these Reincarnators just like an eraser wiping away a pencil drawing; he was too lazy to waste time with such weak Reincarnators.

Afterward, he began to follow the causal connection of these Reincarnators, wanting to trace back to the space behind them. However, the final result disappointed him; the causal connection was severed, and that space was actively hiding its own space-time coordinates.

It was clear that this space was not like what those Reincarnators had said; it still cared about its space-time coordinates being leaked.

But it didn't matter; there were simply too many baits on the hook now. Li Heng smiled slightly and looked to the other side, where a space-time channel had also appeared, from which the sounds of an army marching and battle cries emerged, and then a vast army appeared before his eyes.

"Great Wind Imperial Dynasty, those who surrender shall not be killed!"

A general walked out from the front of the ten-thousand-strong army, baleful Qi surging, and stared fixedly at Li Heng, saying coldly.

"Feng, Feng, Feng, Great Wind!"

Countless soldiers shouted in unison, and the baleful Qi of slaughter overflowed, sealing Li Heng's four directions again, regarding him as a turtle in a jar.

"Ignorant."

Li Heng shook his head and sighed softly. His Great Sun Dharma Image appeared behind him, and all the soldiers in the army instantly ignited without fire; they didn't even need to wait for a moment, as they were reduced to ashes in an instant.

Next, more fish took the bait, whether they were immortals who were once quiet and natural but now involved in the red dust, gods who were once high and mighty but now turned into corpses, or Buddhas who sat atop the Buddha Kingdom chanting about Emptiness and form, but now fell one by one.

But all of these had become Source Power for Li Heng!

However, after this large wave of fish took the bait, it quickly became quiet; no more fish were taking the bait. It seemed they had already realized that this fish, Li Heng, was not a fish but a fisherman—a fisherman with incomparably terrifying strength—and they did not want to take the bait again.

Li Heng shook his head; this would not do.

Although there were many fish that took the bait just now, they were only small fish and shrimp, which could not satisfy his appetite; he needed some big fish for it to be called a feast.

Thinking this, his mind stirred, and a wisp of a Source Power Degraded Product appeared. Although it was a degraded product, it was still more powerful than Great Void Power and, following the fluctuations of space-time, broadcasted throughout the Da Xu Kong.

Just now, he hadn't used bait; it was just a case of "the willing taking the bait."

That was why he only caught some small shrimp and foolish fish.

But now, he had already put on the real bait. He wanted to see how many fish could resist their own greed in the face of this power that surpassed Great Void Power!

Li Heng smiled slightly, transformed into a fishing old man, and sat quietly with his eyes closed.

And the facts were exactly as Li Heng had anticipated.

Anyone or any force capable of observing and receiving the broadcast of the Source Power Degraded Product now appeared somewhat frantic.

Originally, they thought this was just a rumor, something used by some Fishing Old Man to fish, but they didn't expect it to be real. That truly powerful, terrifying might, sufficient to suppress Great Void Power, was undoubtedly real!

At this moment, even that Main God Space, the Great Wind Imperial Dynasty, and multiple eras that had already taken the bait before, and now realized they had been fooled and did not want to take the bait again, were all plunged into doubt, wondering whether they should continue to invest.

If they didn't invest, this power had indeed appeared; what if someone else took it away? Moreover, they had already invested a portion before; they couldn't just give up halfway, could they?

Thinking of the seductive nature of this power and the sunk costs.

They all made the same decision in unison.

Continue to take the bait!

Even if someone is fishing, so what? They do not believe any angler can catch big fish like them, nor are they afraid that the big fish might just swallow the angler whole!

Continue to send out Reincarnation participants, continue to send out the great army...

They even harbored the intention in their hearts to manifest their true bodies and enter the fray themselves.

"Look, I told you he was fishing; those who take the bait never return, and you should have all received the broadcast of that power by now—do you still doubt its True Reality?"

In that place of the nether, the Void Scale and a crowd of figures stood aloof, watching this blatant fishing feast, and the Void Scale said with a smile.
