Chapter 64

"At this moment, in my eyes, the complete heavenly-earth rules are clearly visible" Snow Eagle Lord World, Zhou Yu sat cross-legged inside his divine temple.

His gaze looked toward the outside world.

The nine heavenly-earth rules that constitute heaven and earth, spacetime need not be mentioned, the others—extreme points, opening heaven, hundun, chaos, matter, boundlessness, world, cause and effect—were also clearly visible.

"Not bad for a growth-type talent." Zhou Yu nodded inwardly.

In that case, even if he didn't take over this avatar, relying on the special nature of the Material Realm Lord, this avatar had good hope of becoming a Fourfold Heaven Realm God.

Of course, now that he has taken over this avatar, there's no need to say more.

The True Real Pupil, together with the talents he previously acquired, will make this avatar's growth speed astonishing.

"At the Realm God stage, mastering several first-grade divine hearts makes one a several-layer heaven realm god. In the previous simulation, I had experience comprehending the true meaning of Wei Zi; based on that, comprehending the material divine heart will be quick now. As for the third and fourth divine hearts, I'll choose the world divine heart and the opening heaven divine heart." Zhou Yu quickly formed a plan in his mind.

The Nine Great Divine Hearts, although with the aid of the True Real Pupil he can see their concrete traces, but things like cause and effect and chaos, being relatively abstract, are undoubtedly more troublesome to comprehend.

Meanwhile, the world divine heart and opening heaven divine heart are relatively concrete rules, easier to master.

And while Zhou Yu was pondering, he also suddenly frowned slightly.

At this moment, throughout the Flame Fire World, streams of mysterious power were surging toward him.

"Power of faith."

Zhou Yu looked outward and saw countless Flamefire Tribe citizens in the Flamefire World, as well as scattered demon beast clans, all now kneeling toward the divine temple and kowtowing.

At this moment, countless beings miraculously shared the same intention, thus naturally generating a great amount of faith power.

"It seems to be due to the commotion caused by my breakthrough," Zhou Yu realized.

The Flamefire World is only ten million li in diameter, yet the divine sea of a first-level heavenly realm god extends over a hundred million li; when he broke through, the illusory divine sea easily enveloped the entire Flamefire World.

Such a divine miracle naturally aroused the believers' fanaticism.

Of course, one must first have believers before there can be fanaticism.

In the simulation, he initially had some aversion to faith; even after driving away the two great divine temples, he did not establish a new sect, merely collecting ownerless faith in his spare time.

But later, as time passed, the simulated him changed, actively establishing a sect to absorb vast amounts of faith power.

"This faith power"

Zhou Yu tried to absorb the surging faith power into his body, and he seemed to see scenes of countless lives pleading.

The accumulated volition of countless beings formed faith power, which also made him feel his soul had clearly received some enhancement, making his comprehension of the laws of heaven and earth smoother.

"Well, anyway, I've been absorbing it for nearly ten million years in the simulation; it's too late to regret now." Zhou Yu didn't think much and directly began actively absorbing this faith power.

Absorbing faith power certainly increases the difficulty of transcendence, but it is not impossible; on the contrary, its boosting effect on comprehending the laws of heaven and earth is genuine.

At the same time, in a mortal world near the Flamefire World...

A figure clad in golden robes frowned, gazing toward the direction of the Flamefire World.

He, too, is a lord of the material world, spreading faith in many nearby mortal worlds, and people revere him as the "Witch God".

At this moment, the Witch God felt his mood was terrible.

"Zhou Yu, why break through now, neither early nor late?" the Witch God secretly resented.

Since a million years ago, when the divine realm suffered a shock and the Red Stone Mountain fell into the Xia Tribe World, he has been scheming to occupy the Xia Tribe World.

Although the world he controls is not too far from the Xia Tribe World, it is not exactly near either; to achieve his goal, he first invaded a mortal world near the Xia Tribe World—the very world he now occupies.

Next, he found the "Great Demon God" from the Abyssal Darkness, who has deep roots in the Xia Tribe World, to be his collaborator.

After plotting for a million years, especially the invasion of a new mortal world which consumed vast resources, he was about to launch an operation against the Xia Tribe World when Zhou Yu broke through.

The Flamefire World itself lies near the Xia Tribe World.

Originally, Zhou Yu was merely a peak divine-level expert; the Witch God didn't care at all, for as fellow lords of the material world, the gap between a peak divine-level and him was too great.

But now that Zhou Yu has broken through, things are different.

"Witch God."

Suddenly, a low, deep voice sounded, and the next moment a colossal phantom skull appeared behind the Witch God.

The Witch God turned around, and the giant skull asked, "Why are you suddenly in such a hurry to find me?"

"Great Demon God, let me tell you some bad news," the Witch God said calmly: "The material-world lord of the nearby Flamefire World, Zhou Yu, has just broken through; he is now a first-level heavenly realm god."

"What? Are you sure?" the skull asked.

"There's no mistake; I happened to be in this world when he broke through, and I saw his illusory divine sea clearly." the Witch God said.

"This Zhou Yu is bold; he spreads faith in the Xia Tribe World and dared to oppose me even when he was only a peak divine-level," the Great Demon God said:

"Moreover, he has deep roots in the Xia Tribe World; his Flamefire Sect has existed there longer than your Witch God's temple."

"I know," the Witch God said, looking at the Great Demon God:

"Now that he has broken through, he will be even more unscrupulous; the Flamefire World is near the Xia Tribe World, so he will surely intervene in its affairs."

"What do you suggest we do? Recruit Zhou Yu together?" the Great Demon God asked, looking at the Witch God.

"No, adding another person just means another share of the spoils; don't forget, the two of us are already enough." the Witch God refused without hesitation.

Had he invaded this mortal world earlier, he might have considered recruiting Zhou Yu, but having painstakingly invaded this mortal world also near the Xia Tribe World, letting Zhou Yu join now would make all his prior efforts for naught.

"Hmph, then what do you propose?"

The Great Demon God sneered; he could hardly be unaware of the Witch God's thoughts, but the two had long ago sworn an Abyssal Oath, so now they can only stick together in the same boat to the bitter end.

"He has just become a world god; for now he may not be able to do much." the Witch God said: "Let us join forces to eradicate the Flamefire Sect in the Xia Tribe World, first cutting off one of its arms!"

Upon hearing this, the Great Demon God understood that this was indeed a viable method.

To invade a world, one must first establish a foothold there; only then can internal-external coordination create a spatial passage linking two mortal worlds. Without any foothold, such a thing is utterly unthinkable.

Eliminate the Flamefire Sect, and even if the Flamefire World lies near the Xia Tribe World, Zhou Yu can only watch helplessly.
