Chapter 397: The First Rot-Head and the Rotting Father God

"The Giant of Light, Morning Star, is currently spreading the 'Doctrine of All Lights' throughout Ten Thousand Blessings City. Before him, a group of city residents and transcendents he meticulously selected have once again been scorched to charcoal by light radiation. Those living beings who cannot survive and undergo metamorphosis under the massive amount of light radiation are not qualified to become believers of the Lord of All Lights."

"Just as he felt deeply disappointed, he suddenly perceived a Qi that filled him with pleasant surprise."

"It was an extremely intense Qi of Greater Yin. Regardless of its source, it was a temptation he could not refuse."

"He soon found the source: it was a sect that purely worshipped the [Greater Yin Star]. The cultists sacrificed themselves to summon a divine beast that lived upon the Greater Yin Star—a very old Moon Toad."

"Although it was not a female divine beast like a 'Moon Goddess Rabbit,' which left him quite disappointed."

"But a Moon Toad was surprising enough; after all, it could greatly alleviate the pain in his soul. Thus, Morning Star did not hesitate to capture the Moon Toad that had just descended and swallowed it into his belly."

"However, as soon as he ate it, he felt a bit of regret."

"Because he discovered that not only was this Moon Toad extremely difficult to digest, but it also kept making annoying croaking sounds in his belly—ribbit, ribbit, on and on. Fortunately, apart from the incessant croaking, the Moon Toad was naturally lethargic and remained crouched in place. Morning Star gradually stopped paying attention to it, treating it as a small price to pay, completely unaware that the Moon Toad had begun to excrete some special rays of light..."

The above is precisely the plot that Li Yu wrote down using the Heaven Evolution Pen, which rapidly turned into reality.

Although this storyline was logically perfect and extremely reasonable.

If it had been before, some accidents would definitely have occurred; the Heaven Evolution Pen would have proactively done more than necessary, turning around to harm him, its master.

Yet this time!

Nothing went wrong.

From start to finish, not a single accident appeared.

Clearly, the "Luck Halo" from the Toad God had offset the price of the Heaven Evolution Pen.

"It's done!"

When these two words spilled from Li Yu's mouth.

He watched with an expression of disbelief as the Giant of Light walked away to find other people to preach to.

The latter, having eaten such a rare item as a Moon Toad, looked somewhat as if he had eaten excrement; his divine face was full of conflict.

Perhaps out of the mindset of "out of sight, out of mind," Morning Star did not bother with the aftermath of the Moon Toad, and naturally, he did not notice.

Inside the Moon Toad's body, strands of bait-silk disguised as light began to pollute and erode the Giant of Light.

The efficiency was not fast, but it had indeed succeeded.

The "Morning Star," a demigod-level powerhouse that Li Yu found extremely troublesome and deemed very difficult to take down—this very large fish—was now hooked by Li Yu.

Although it was not hooked firmly enough yet, as long as the Moon Toad could keep croaking for a while longer, it would eventually be fully planted.

As for how long it could croak?

According to the Toad God, the croaking record of this outlier of the species has continued to this day and has yet to end.

After the big fish was hooked, Li Yu did not hesitate to constantly turn his own amazement and praise into spiritual resonance, feeding it back to the Toad God continuously.

How does one correctly treat a top-tier benefactor?

Naturally, by providing enough emotional value.

Moreover, Li Yu's reaction was indeed from the bottom of his heart.

Although Li Yu was a top-tier angler, in terms of methods, he was still far behind the Toad God.

Even if Li Yu's merit points were still sufficient to redeem bait to his heart's content.

In terms of "precision," he was still inferior to the Toad God.

After all, besides being an incomparably powerful True God, the Toad God also held titles such as the First God of Wealth of the Boundless Spirit Realm and the God of Treasure Gathering.

That "Endless One," known as the number one collector in the Boundless Spirit Realm, was reduced to a minor character when compared to the Toad God.

This point was verified once again in the subsequent high-risk fishing attempts.

The next target Li Yu set his sights on was the extremely dangerous "Undying Blade."

In a sense, this one was even more terrifying than the Giant of Light.

After all, not only was he undying and indestructible, but he also possessed unparalleled divine abilities for slaughter.

The True God behind him was the equivalent of the [Red God].

If they were to fight, even Li Yu, whose combat power had skyrocketed, would still not be able to win; at most, he would be safe from death.

However, previously Li Yu was fishing on his own; to understand the deeper secrets that could change the situation, he would need to spy after succeeding.

Now, it was different.

As a qualified god of entertainment, the Toad God was naturally very generous, not forgetting to provide commentary while watching.

Li Yu, on the other hand, was getting secrets for free and analyzing them rapidly:

"That thing called the [Undying Blade] has the Red King behind it."

"This old thing is extremely bloodthirsty, so he offended too many gods. After being beaten by a group once, he became obedient. Currently, he is at the end of his rope, relying on a group of 'Undying Ones' under his command to prolong his life, but unfortunately, he cannot hold on for too long."

"Unless the Goddess of Life or the Mother of Eternity intervenes to save him, his injuries will surely lead to his fall."

"He has actually been targeted by many gods, who are preparing to divide his corpse after he dies, such as the Ancient Saints, or myself." "If you could redeem a conceptual lifeform like the [Undying Plague Lizard], you could indeed make the Undying Ones fall into a trap, but the effect might not be as good as you imagine."

"Out of a desire for vitality, the Undying Blade will do everything in his power to devour other undying concepts; at that time, you will face the same predicament you had when feeding the light-worm to Morning Star."

"But there is another kind of conceptual undead creature that can avoid these."

"These creatures are extremely rare; usually, there is only one in an entire multiverse."

"Their appearances never repeat, and their common trait is that they are all very cute. For example, a talking doll, an orange-red gelatinous creature, or a pair of eyeballs that forever maintain a vigorous curiosity... any creature, even some evil gods, cannot harbor ill will toward them."

"Although they are also undying existences, they have not been tainted by the cruelty and tyranny of creatures like the Undying Blade or the Undying Plague Lizard."

"On the contrary, they continuously release a type of radiation that brings 'intense pleasure,' which makes them extremely popular."

"Even the [Red King] himself, if he could capture one such existence, would be reluctant to devour it completely and would likely keep it by his side to absorb that pleasure radiation to alleviate his pain."

"In my Divine Kingdom, there is just such an Eye-Bean, and it is willing to come over to help you."

What is called precision baiting?

Clearly, this was it.

At this moment, Li Yu finally understood.

Why the Toad God was known as permanently neutral, had almost no allies, and belonged to no faction.

At the same time, He was the wealthiest divine entity in the Boundless Spirit Realm with the most treasures.

Yet, after so many years, He had never been besieged or looted, and was still living a carefree life as the top benefactor in one plane and universe after another.

Against the backdrop of evil gods running rampant in various multiverses, this was simply an unsolved mystery.

The reason was now faintly revealed.

The Toad God saw much entertainment and had many treasures, so naturally, He had plenty of ways to save His own life.

It was not that He could not or would not; He simply did not have a penchant for fighting and killing.

If a real fight were to break out!

I am afraid that without five or six Sovereign-level evil gods attacking together, they would not be able to do anything to Him.

While letting his thoughts run wild, Li Yu once again gripped the Heaven Evolution Pen and wrote down a short story.

Just as the Toad God had expected.

Without any alarm or danger, the "Undying Blade" was also hooked.

A demigod who dared to hack at True Gods when fighting was, without even realizing it himself, being subtly controlled by Li Yu.

This seemed incredible.

But upon reflection, when he was being plotted against by the most special Bait-Master in history in league with the Toad God, any outcome was reasonable.

And in the next few hours, the number of victims continued to expand.

The next name was quite special.

The secrets attached behind it also opened Li Yu's eyes:

"The First Rot-Head!"

"He comes from a special plane in the Boundless Spirit Realm called the Rotting Universe. Everything within that universe is rotting—whether it be living beings or dead objects, the sun, moon, and stars, and even the rules, and even the Heavenly Dao, are all permeated by rotting divinity."

"The ruler of that plane is a Sovereign-level divine entity, the [Rotting Father God]."

"Every so often, the Rotting Father God sends out some demigod-level or legendary-level envoys to travel to the multiverse to spread His rotting divinity."

"Wherever the Rotting Envoys go, all things rot."

"The speed of pollution and spread is about the same as the Chaos Chosen under that [Kind Father]."

"The First Rot-Head is the envoy of this generation."

"But since he has come here, he has clearly been tricked into coming by the Ancient Saints again."

"As for the target?"

"Among all the gods in the current world, there is only one righteous god who can interest the Rotting Father God, and that is [Haotian]."

"The Rotting Father God and Haotian are both Sovereign-level divine entities, and both can be considered masters of a Heavenly Dao."

"If He can corrode Haotian, He will surely go a step further to challenge the status above Sovereign."

"This temptation is one the Rotting Father God cannot refuse."
