Chapter 395: Addicted to the Thrill, Massive Harvest

When Li Yu finished reading these secrets, he didn't know what to say for a moment, only feeling that his knowledge had greatly increased.

Can the Mother of Crimson be considered an evil god?

Naturally, she can.

Although she is a goddess, she is even more irritable than the Furnace, and her level of ferocity is even greater.

In the memories of the Red Star Dragon Girl, there are many scenes of the Mother of Crimson feeding, the sight of her swallowing dying stars one by one; many of these stars were actually inhabited by a vast number of living beings.

Compared to her, the Furnace can almost be considered a "benevolent god."

After all, the Lord of the Furnace just has a bad temper, but he is still far from being tyrannical.

However, this pair of siblings can both be considered bullies of the Boundless Spirit Realm.

It is fortunate that their relationship is very poor; otherwise, if they joined hands to roam the multiverse, I fear no faction would dare to provoke them.

Of course, that would likely be an even greater disaster.

After all, neither Sovereign has much great wisdom, and they have no resistance to schemes and calculations.

It is very easy for powerful existences with ulterior motives like the "Lord of Ten Thousand Changes," the "Foolish God," or the "Spirit Venerable" to come knocking and then entrap them miserably.

For example, right now!

This Mother of Crimson was tricked here by the Ancient Saint, wanting to secretly eat that [Lord of the Zhou Heaven Stars] while the Present World collapses.

"If the Present World really collapses, then it is indeed possible for her to eat."

"But if the evil gods fail in their gamble, then she will inevitably lose a heavyweight avatar; there are differences in strength even among Sovereign-level beings."

"The Mother of Crimson is clearly inferior to her brother, the [Lord of the Furnace]; losing such an avatar, I don't know how many years it would take to recover."

"However, since the relationship between the siblings is bad, then if I hang her beloved Chosen One on a fishhook, it naturally won't affect the friendship between me and the Furnace."

As the final thought settled.

Li Yu had no more hesitation and continued his work with peace of mind.

Because of that "Crimson Sacrifice Method," most of the bait threads didn't even have time to parasitize before they were sent into the Mother of Crimson's black hole womb, with only a tiny bit of bait seed remaining.

Fortunately, having this bit was enough.

Li Yu then spent another 100,000 merit points to redeem a cheap item: an Ember Star.

Disguised as a "fated opportunity," it was sent into the mouth of the Red Star Dragon Girl, successfully hooking the fish firmly.

As a thief of laws, a True Monarch of Bait-Eating!

Every time a big fish is hooked, one can eat the bait once.

Realm perfection, overflowing magic power, stealing secret techniques... all are available.

For example, as the first big fish to be fished by Li Yu for the second time, the Red Star Dragon Girl brought significant gains.

He also learned that Crimson Sacrifice Method.

He also learned the authentic "Furnace Sacrifice Method" as well.

And both can be used.

The former is because the Mother of Crimson is in a state of irritability all year round, and Li Yu, disguised as the Dragon Girl, can easily muddle through.

The latter is because there is already a friendship, so one just needs to say a word during the sacrifice.

Fishing and eating bait can bring Li Yu comprehensive improvement.

The previous Zuo Cikui, Joseph, and the Sinful Buddha had already given Li Yu, a Sequence Four, the opportunity to entrap three demigod-level powerhouses within the Dragon Nest star system.

Now, adding big fish like the Colorful Feather Demon, the Corpse Demon, and the Red Star Dragon Girl, who are even more powerful.

This caused Li Yu's combat power, which had been stagnant for a period of time, to begin showing signs of skyrocketing within this single day.

Ordinary legendary-level powerhouses!

Are no longer Li Yu's opponents.

Even in a head-on fight, he is still chasing after the demigod level.

The addiction brought by this cheating-like speed of cultivation and combat power growth is something no one can resist.

And so!

Li Yu was completely hooked on fishing.

In the next two or three days, he repeatedly played dirty tricks on these "distinguished guests" who had come from afar, and succeeded time and time again.

Originally, he could not have done this.

But in Wanfu City, he had an inside man.

The "Heavenly Evolution True Brush" given by Zuo Cikui was exceptionally easy to use; the narrative authority of the Lord of the Curtain could be said to have completely permeated Wanfu City.

After putting pen to paper, even demigod-level beings could not resist much, especially since they already thought this was a playground arranged by the Ancient Saint and the Lord of the Curtain.

There are gains!

There are fated opportunities!

Everything is perfectly normal.

One incredible story after another was staged, and the geniuses of the Boundless Realm continued to fall.

Of course, more than half of the geniuses were still fine, and Li Yu did not go to provoke them.

It wasn't that he couldn't catch them, but that there was no need; his targets were only those [Children of the World]. Three million merit points seem like a lot, but in reality, they don't last long.

Unexpectedly, occasionally there would be one or two free ones.

No bait needed; they actively hung themselves on his hook.

For example, this one:

"Slayer of Immortals!"

"Comes from a special plane called the Sin Realm, which is ruled by a powerful divine entity called the [Heavenly Sin Venerable]."

"This evil god holds the divine authorities of Sin and Evil."

"The Slayer of Immortals is its divine envoy and follower, having barely reached the demigod level."

"The reason it was lured here is that the Ancient Saint promised the Heavenly Sin Venerable that after the Present World collapses, it could devour either of the two powerful righteous gods under the [Demon-Slaying Heavenly Venerable]: the Great Sage Equal to Heaven or the Great Luo Golden Immortal."

"The true form of the Slayer of Immortals is a demonic sword, with no flesh-and-blood body. Its hobby is to select so-called hosts with outstanding talent in 'Sword Dao' and 'Immortal Cultivation,' quickly pollute them, make them fall, and then commit suicide. In just two days, nearly a hundred people died at its hands in Wanfu City, all of them outstanding disciples of major sects."

"The temptation it cannot refuse most: is precisely those with outstanding talent in Sword Dao and Immortal Cultivation."

"So, on this day, it suddenly chose a nobody whose appearance and talent were very similar to the legendary Demon-Slaying Chosen One, Liu Tu. After falling into its hands..."

Clearly, when encountering such a Boundless genius, Li Yu didn't even need to write much of a story.

No matter how powerful the pollution, he could be immune to it.

And the bait threads released by Li Yu were invasive to everything; the sword spirit of a demonic sword was no exception.

The most critical thing is that he could directly disguise himself as "Liu Tu" to lure it onto the hook, which was very convenient.

This is a special case; the other big fish all required expensive bait.

"Yin-Eroding King!"

"A genius powerhouse from the Abyss Universe, whose god behind him is the [Lord of the Underworld]."

"Once the engine is activated, a planet called 'Hell Star' will smash into the Present World, filled with nether demons and one of the palms of the Lord of the Underworld."

"The righteous god it targets is the [Yin Son of Heaven] under the Earth Mother."

"As the Chosen One of the Lord of the Underworld, the temptation the Yin-Eroding King cannot refuse is a type of extraordinary spiritual food called 'Soul-less Soup.' This soup happens to be a top-tier wonder within the divine kingdom ruled by the Earth Mother; for beings with divine attributes related to death and souls, this is a supreme treasure."

"Priced according to concentration, the minimum exchange price is 200,000 points."

"Although the appearance of a bowl of Soul-less Soup in Wanfu City is slightly unreasonable."

"But if paired with a very complex story, the logic can still be rounded out."

"Most importantly, the Yin-Eroding King discovered that after drinking the 'Soul-less Soup,' the effect was indeed outstanding; the ten thousand souls gnawing at him for thousands of years were greatly relieved."

"As for the real reason for the relief... that is not important."

"Fate-Reversing Heavenly Demon!"

"Comes from a special plane called the 'Inverted Universe,' whose god behind it is a powerful divine entity called the [Inverted Heavenly Monarch]."

"This evil god once invaded the Present World and is one of the few evil gods who successfully escaped after failing."

"Now invited by the Ancient Saint, it is making a comeback."

"The righteous god it targets is the [Heavenly Monarch] under Haotian. The two are in a complete competitive relationship regarding divine authority; whoever can devour whom can gain huge benefits. If fighting fairly, the Heavenly Monarch's combat power is far above the other."

"The temptation the Fate-Reversing Heavenly Demon cannot resist is a wonder called the 'Heaven-Mending Stone.' This object can mend world barriers, can be used to sort out the chaos of the multiverse, or can be used to enhance the power of those who possess related authorities, etc. Its utility is immense and it is incomparably precious."

"Priced according to size, the smallest one requires 500,000 merit points to exchange... there is currently no upper limit for the highest, and no stock."

"It is reasonable for such a treasure to appear in Wanfu City; after all, ten thousand gods are gathered here."

"But for it to appear in the marketplace, in the hands of some ordinary extraordinary beings, that is impossible."

"Unless that extraordinary being is a long-lived species and comes from another holy land of cultivation in the Present World: the Ancient Demon Boat."

"The Demon Boat is not only an ancient battlefield of the gods, but also has three powerful star gods behind it, and is located in the cracks of the world, bordering the Boundless Spirit Realm, where treasures from beyond the heavens often fall... For an extraordinary being from the Demon Boat to have a Heaven-Mending Stone on them is truly the most reasonable thing."

"And the Fate-Reversing Heavenly Demon, as a follower of the [Inverted Heavenly Monarch], does not put any god in its eyes, even a Sovereign is the same."

"The four words 'lawless and unrestrained' are its fundamental practice."

"So, when it discovered the aura of the Heaven-Mending Stone, it directly took action to slaughter that long-lived being from the Demon Boat, snatching the Heaven-Mending Stone from them in the latter's astonished and disbelieving gaze; clearly, the long-lived being didn't even realize they were carrying such a heavy treasure."

"Immersed in the pleasure of snatching the treasure, the Fate-Reversing Heavenly Demon did not notice anything wrong and swallowed the Heaven-Mending Stone into its body without hesitation."

One after another!

Wanfu City is both a playground for the geniuses of the Boundless Realm to play as they please.

At the same time, it was also Li Yu's fishing ground.

In just three days, he had practically fished himself into a frenzy.

On his ethereal fishhook, it was already hung full of big fish, one after another.

At first, they were all just existences between the Legendary level and the Demigod level.

Later, as he fed the bait daily and his methods became increasingly formidable, he began to set his sights on those true Demigods, and eventually succeeded with one or two of them.

However, it was not without failures, fish that unhooked, and even some that nearly discovered Li Yu.

Those powerful Demigods who had made Li Yu feel troubled from the very beginning:

Daoist Calamity!

Morning Star!

Undying Blade!

Practice had also proven that it was indeed very difficult.

Regarding these three, Li Yu had only tentatively made a move on "Morning Star," but not only did he fail, he was nearly discovered and dragged out.

The reason for the failure was not that Li Yu's methods were inadequate, but simply that there was a gap in their status.

Furthermore, the Heaven Evolution Pen had been used too ruthlessly, and the costs and side effects erupted all at once, nearly killing Li Yu.

At this point, it seemed Li Yu should have given up.

His addiction had been greatly satisfied, and his harvest was unimaginable.

The Children of the World that could be fished were now all hanging on his hook, and those remaining were incredibly ferocious Demigods; it was best not to provoke them.

After all, he was able to accomplish such a miracle by actually borrowing the power of the Master of the Veil; he was like a rat in a film crew that hadn't officially started shooting, using the tiger's power to bully others and crazily taking kickbacks, so he should quit while he was ahead upon sensing danger.

Li Yu himself had originally thought the same.

But just as he intended to leave.

In his mind, the spiritual response of the Toad God suddenly rang out.
