Chapter 148

Hearing Han Yu's voice, the fear in the hearts of these few Venerables was dispelled by much; at this moment, they did not know why, but a surge of hot blood also welled up in their hearts.

When they were young, they were also high-spirited, thinking of fighting the Emperor clans and opposing the gods, but as they grew older, they gradually yielded to reality.

When they learned that those illustrious Emperors, the objects they once worshipped, had all submitted to the gods—either becoming members of the God Messengers or being completely suppressed and killed—they began to see everything clearly.

But at this moment, seeing Han Yu's actions, they felt that they seemed to have thought wrong before.

Those so-called gods did not seem so terrifying after all.

At this moment, Han Yu was shattering their dantian god statues and, even more, crushing the gods in their hearts; this process was without surprise or danger.

Those god statues only let out a few roars of impotent rage the moment they were touched by Han Yu, and then they could only watch helplessly as their sculptures shattered.

And on the dantian altars of the few Venerables, a new sculpture slowly stood tall.

This was their destiny: shattering an old god would also usher in a new god.

However, regarding this new god, these people actually had no great resistance in their hearts; instead, they felt a strange excitement.

If Han Yu could succeed in opposing the gods, then as the first batch of followers, they would also rise to the heavens!

The opportunities that the Emperor clans occupied might perhaps fall into their pockets.

Thinking of this, the few Venerables were incredibly invigorated; because they had no resistance and were even very cooperative, Han Yu's god-changing process was very smooth.

And after the god-changing was successful, the few Venerables could also obtain the Literature Immortal Path inheritance created by Han Yu from the god statues.

It was just that because they had been poisoned too deeply by the previous gods, the damage to them from changing gods was not insignificant, especially the damage to their Primordial Spirit Dharma Images, which would likely take decades to fully repair.

However, this damage would automatically heal as Han Yu's cultivation progressed; as long as Han Yu broke through the Venerable Realm, their damage would not only be negligible, but the strength of their Primordial Spirit Dharma Images would even reach a higher level.

Because the Primordial Spirit Dharma Images they summoned now contained a portion of power that represented Han Yu, this "god"!

Once Han Yu entered the Venerable Realm, he could directly reach the peak; for these Venerable Realm powerhouses, even if the power borrowed from Han Yu was only one percent, it was still very terrifying.

Even if Han Yu were only at the Emperor Realm now, the boost to them would not be small.

After resolving the matters of these Venerables, Han Yu came before Xiao Yuyao and gave her some instructions.

Xiao Yuyao listened obediently; she knew that once her Senior Brother left like this, he probably wouldn't be back for a while, and she felt very reluctant.

Although she hadn't spent much time with Han Yu, her feelings for him were warming day by day, and her longing was becoming as thick as wine.

If it weren't for the many people here, she was a bit shy, or she would have directly thrown herself into Han Yu's arms and cried.

After finishing these instructions for Xiao Yuyao, Han Yu looked at Liu Ruyan again.

Sensing Han Yu's gaze, Liu Ruyan did not know why, but her pretty face turned red instantly.

"Are you leaving so hurriedly? Should Senior Aunt send you off?"

She didn't know what to say and was a bit embarrassed for a moment.

Han Yu smiled slightly and transmitted his voice to Liu Ruyan.

"Have you forgotten what Senior Aunt promised me before?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Liu Ruyan's face turned so red it could drip water; she swallowed involuntarily.

"No... no, you found such an opportunity for me, I should have fulfilled my promise, but you also said that the situation is critical now..."

"It's fine, we can enter the Painting Screen world; staying inside for a few years is only a few breaths of time outside."

"You! You stinky brat, why waste decades of lifespan just to do that kind of thing!"

Liu Ruyan's voice transmission tone was a bit coy; don't look at how she acted like a female hooligan when she teased Han Yu before, but the situation was different then, and she was far more powerful than Han Yu.

Now Han Yu had Emperor Realm strength; even if her seniority was higher than Han Yu's, in terms of strength, she could only be rubbed by the other party.

When she was on top, she could be a female hooligan, but now she was on the bottom and had no such confidence, so naturally, she had the demeanor of a young girl.

Women are more or less attracted to strength; when encountering men stronger than themselves versus men inferior to themselves, their states are completely different.

They almost never care about the overtures of men weaker than themselves, but they are deeply moved by the slightest concern from a powerful man.

Han Yu was not giving her insignificant concern now, but a real opportunity for advancement.

That Extreme Ice Jade Python, fed by the water-attribute resources collected by the Heavenly Fire God Guard, had already advanced into an Extreme Ice Jade Dragon; with the fusion of this heaven-defying treasure, Liu Ruyan now absolutely had the potential of a Great Emperor.

Han Yu's kindness to her could be described as a rebirth; this kind of opportunity was something many women would be willing to offer their bodies to be slaves and maids for thousands of years to get, and she only needed to become Han Yu's woman—the cost was truly too small.

What's more, being able to become Han Yu's woman was not a cost to her, but a greater opportunity.

For a man like this, how many beauties would cling to him without a chance? What reason did she have to refuse?

The only thing Liu Ruyan was troubled about now was that it would be a bit awkward if her Junior Sister found out.

Suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration.

"If Junior Sister also becomes Han Yu's woman, wouldn't I have no psychological pressure?"

Liu Ruyan suddenly felt that she was simply incredibly witty.

If Mu Bingyao really became Han Yu's woman, then the other party was at least Han Yu's master, and she was only a Senior Aunt; if there was any mocking, it would be her mocking her own Junior Sister.

"Junior Sister is so beautiful; good things shouldn't flow to outsiders. If she really became this brat Han Yu's woman, that wouldn't be bad, and it would just happen to keep me company."

Liu Ruyan thought this way; she had resigned herself to her fate and regarded herself as Han Yu's Daoist companion. She had no reason to refuse.

Looking at Han Yu's smiling eyes, Liu Ruyan thought again about the current situation: Han Yu was bound to face the most severe pursuit from those Emperor clans. If he really died outside, and she hadn't had anything happen with him, would that be considered breaking her promise?

"Should I give it to him before he leaves?"

Liu Ruyan thought this way, and her face burned even more intensely.

Just thinking about such words made her feel embarrassed; she didn't know how to bring it up.

Han Yu looked at her performance; as an experienced veteran, how could he not guess the other party's meaning?

When a woman does not refuse, it can be regarded as consent.

Although he, Han Yu, could not be counted as a righteous gentleman, he was not a petty person either.

Although there was a verbal agreement with Liu Ruyan before, if the other party didn't like him, he wouldn't force himself on her.

That was too low-class; to conquer a woman, it is more important to conquer her heart.

But looking at Liu Ruyan's performance, Han Yu knew that his Senior Aunt seemed to have feelings for him too; otherwise, the state she displayed would not be coyness, but indignation.

Since that was the case, he, Han Yu, would not be polite at all.

When flowers are ready to be plucked, pluck them; do not wait until there are no flowers and break an empty branch!

Before leaving, he decided to take Liu Ruyan first!
