Chapter 912

"You already control this world, what do you need me to do? I'm actually quite puzzled, what is the purpose of you controlling this world?" Ye Liuyun asked.
The deity smiled faintly again.
"For no reason, from the moment I was born, I believed that this world should belong to me. I am just taking back everything that should belong to me. Back then, the Celestial Venerable of Ten Thousand Laws said that after a world is born, it should be operated by the natural way, rather than being influenced by a certain race or being."
“I feel something is wrong. If we are the creators, why can’t we influence the world we created? Who set this rule? I’m not convinced. That’s why our power was divided and the gods were born. But looking at today’s outcome, I am the victor in the end. I have no interest in controlling the world. I’m just not convinced.”
"Why do these outsiders, the Celestial Venerables, interfere in the Pangu World? What gives them the right?" The Divine Venerable raised his head and looked into the void, asking in a deep voice.
He knew that all the Celestial Venerables were watching him, but the Divine Venerable was no longer afraid of them. Now that the Pangu Great World had a master, these Celestial Venerables had been expelled by his power. In other words, without his permission, the Celestial Venerables could no longer enter the Pangu Great World.
However, the incarnations of the Celestial Venerable are still in this world.
To be honest, from the perspective of the God, his actions were not wrong. He just felt that the operation of this world should be determined by the living beings of this world, rather than by the Heavenly Venerable.
At this time, the God-Emperor was not a complete Celestial Venerable. He could only be said to possess the power of a Celestial Venerable, but not the soul of a Celestial Venerable. Therefore, his understanding of the Celestial Venerable was still too one-sided.
However, he didn't care about any of that. What mattered was that he had already achieved his goal. Given more time, he believed that he could fully become the new Pangu Heavenly Venerable.
As Ye Liuyun listened to the deity's story, she felt she could understand him, but something seemed off. The deity before her was displaying incredibly complex emotions. If this deity were devoid of any feelings and were merely a pure embodiment of the Great Heavenly Dao, then there would be no problem.
Because the natural order of a world cannot function without emotions. Emotions are selfishness, and do you think a world can function normally if the way of heaven is selfish? One person who doesn't like something will destroy the world, and one person who doesn't like something will change the rules of heaven and earth.
This is unfair to the beings born in this world. The God himself does not like to be controlled by the Heavenly Venerable, but how does he treat the beings in the lower realms any differently from other Heavenly Venerables?
"I'm sorry, I'm not interested in your invitation. I have no desire to control the world. I just want to live a carefree life with the people I love. That's what I'm looking for." Ye Liuyun rejected the God's invitation.
The deity was not angry, but chuckled lightly.
"Alright, I understand. However, I'd better deal with those remaining aliens first. This world doesn't need other Celestial Venerables to interfere." As the Celestial Venerable spoke, his gaze suddenly turned murderous.
The moment the God-Emperor harbored murderous intent, the sky of the Pangu Great World suddenly darkened completely. This world lost its light at that moment because it was now completely affected by the God-Emperor's power. The God-Emperor's murderous intent brought endless darkness to this world.
What the Divine Lord needs to know is naturally those incarnations of the Celestial Venerables, or beings whose bodies are imbued with the power of the Celestial Venerables.
The first two to kill are naturally Donghuang and Sun Yuan.
Upon hearing this, Donghuang and Sun Yuan immediately narrowed their eyes.
"My god, is it that scary? When he gets angry, it gets dark as soon as the sky darkens?" Ye Liuyun muttered to himself.
However, at this very moment, another unexpected event occurred. Lin Aoxue, who was cultivating in the Taiqing Immortal Palace, suddenly trembled all over and heard an old man's voice calling her.
"The world order has been disrupted. Yu Hua, it is time for you to awaken. It is your mission to maintain the order of all the heavens and myriad realms."
Upon hearing this voice, Lin Aoxue's body ignited with a pure immortal light. This light soared into the sky, illuminating the darkness, as if it were connecting different dimensions, summoning something.
Soon, doors of time and space opened, and figures crossed time and space to arrive. These people included men and women, young and old, and they all entered Lin Aoxue's body as if possessed by souls.
Finally, the Gate to Heaven appeared, and a woman clad in silver armor walked out from within it and landed beside Lin Aoxue.
Lin Aoxue slowly opened her eyes and looked at the other person.
"My mission is complete, it's time to return to my original form," Lin Aoxue, clad in silver armor, said calmly.
Lin Aoxue nodded, then embraced the other person. The two slowly merged into one. After the white light dissipated, Lin Aoxue's image completely changed. She became the image deep in her sea of consciousness, or rather, Lin Aoxue was always meant to be like this.
"Ah! Time to work again." These were Lin Aoxue's first words after opening her eyes.
After saying that, she disappeared from the spot and then teleported to the Celestial Realm, in front of the God.
The sudden appearance of a powerful and unknown being caused the God-Emperor to halt his actions once again, and he couldn't help but look at the other party.
At this moment, Lin Aoxue seemed like a beacon of hope descending upon the world in the darkness, ready to guide the creatures of this world on their path forward.
The light emanating from her penetrated every plane of the Pangu Great World, allowing all living beings to see the source of light in the darkness.
Seeing this light was like seeing hope for them; the Heavenly Venerable Power pressing down on them vanished at that moment.
"Aoxue?" Ye Liuyun stared blankly at the white-clad woman who had suddenly appeared before him.
Lin Aoxue glanced at Ye Liuyun below, then showed a helpless expression.
"Ugh! Still not awake? Honestly,"
Lin Aoxue ignored Ye Liuyun and instead focused her attention on the God.
The deity seemed to recognize Lin Aoxue.
"You are the Ascended Celestial Venerable. Although I don't know how you entered this world, I am now also a Celestial Venerable. In my world, I am invincible. Do you want to stop me?" the Divine Venerable asked, frowning.
Lin Aoxue shook her head.
"Your understanding of the Celestial Venerable is still too shallow. You only possess the power of the Celestial Venerable, but not the soul of the Celestial Venerable. When Fellow Daoist Pangu transformed himself into the world, he never wanted to control the world he created. He only hoped that there would be more color and more beings like himself in that void."
"Moreover, your so-called control will only plunge this world back into darkness and death. The Celestial Venerable has never been a simple life form, but a conceptual entity. We each have our own tasks. Their task is not to stop you, but my task is to maintain the stability and order of all the heavens and myriad worlds, and you have already crossed the line," Lin Aoxue said calmly.
Chapter 1010 The Creator God of Light
Indeed, Lin Aoxue is truly the Feathered Celestial Venerable, and even the Feathered Celestial Venerable's true form.
She seemed to have split her consciousness into countless paths for some reason, leaving only one avatar to guard the myriad realms, and the power of the avatar was no match for this god.
Each of the Celestial Venerables has their own mission. The Netherworld Celestial Venerable manages the world after death, so she has no jurisdiction over the world of the living.
The Taiyin Heavenly Venerable governs all female beings in all the heavens and myriad realms, while the Taiyang Heavenly Venerable governs all male beings. Neither of them has any say in the affairs of the divine beings.
The Celestial Venerable of Myriad Laws governs the operation of the Great Dao. He can interfere with the actions of the Divine Venerable, but he cannot interfere too much, because the current Divine Venerable has taken over the management authority of this world. The Celestial Venerable of Myriad Laws belongs to a higher level of authority. He governs the operation of the Great Dao of all the heavens and myriad worlds, not the operation of the Great Dao of the Pangu Great World, so it is not appropriate for him to overstep his authority.
The Primordial Celestial and the Original Celestial, one manages the beginning of everything, and the other manages the end of everything. Together, they govern the beginning and end of the power of destiny.
Speaking of which, these two are probably the busiest celestial beings, because there are too many living beings in the world, and they are busy arranging their initial and final destinies.
Lingbao Tianzun controls the power of creation, so he has even less to do with the affairs of the gods.
The Celestial Venerable of Freedom can intervene directly because he represents the yearning of living beings for freedom. To put it bluntly, he is a rule-breaker. Among all the Celestial Venerables, he is the only one who can completely disregard the rules.
However, this guy never cares about the workings of the myriad realms. He only likes to find those beings who have a strong yearning for freedom, take them as his disciples, and then run around all over the myriad realms. You can think of him as the leader of all the restless elements of the Carefree Celestial Venerable.
The Celestial Venerable of Feathered Ascension represents the light of hope and is also known as the maintainer of the order of all realms. His mission is to patrol all realms and prevent major collapses of order from occurring.
Once such a thing happens, she has to appear and eliminate the factors that disrupt order, but she can only appear after everything has happened, and cannot prevent it from happening in the first place.
As for the Celestial Venerable of Longevity, he certainly represents life, but what life means is hard to say, because the concept of life is too broad. On a smaller scale, it refers to all living beings in the myriad realms, and on a larger scale, it refers to all things.
"Let's fight, there's nothing more to say." The God was well aware that the other party was there to eliminate him, or rather, to kill him.
“This world has been isolated by our power, so we can fight freely. Speaking of which, with the blessing of Fellow Daoist Pangu, you are the strongest of the heretics I have eliminated.” Lin Aoxue raised her hand and waved, transforming from her palace attire into that of a female war goddess.
As soon as they finished speaking, the two made their move. Two streaks of light, one gold and one silver, collided in an instant. The collision of the Heavenly Venerable Power was like the beginning of chaos, spreading a seven-colored glazed light. In the darkness, it was like fireworks, continuously blooming under the gaze of all living beings.
As the master of this world, the God naturally did not want this world to be destroyed because of their battle. Therefore, he actively shielded the space of this world. Now, the Pangu Great World has no barriers and is a super battleground. The power of the two will not harm other living beings.
The two fought for dozens of rounds, seemingly evenly matched, neither able to gain the upper hand. But suddenly, the deity used the authority of this world.
"Time and space slow down." The God Venerable suddenly raised his hand towards Lin Aoxue, who was rushing towards him. Immediately, Lin Aoxue's body seemed to slow down considerably. In that instant, the God Venerable swiftly slashed at Lin Aoxue with his sword, but it was blocked by the armor on Lin Aoxue's body. However, this attack was definitely a loss for him.
Lin Aoxue had eliminated many beings similar to God-Emperors, but none of them had reached the level of God-Emperors. That's why, before taking action, she said that the opponent was the strongest person she had ever faced.
"Is this the power of the Celestial Venerables? It's terrifying! Every strike contains power enough to sever the Great Dao. If they hadn't actively shielded this world, it probably would have collapsed in no time." Qiu Niu and the others exclaimed in amazement as they watched the scene before them.
Only those at their level of expertise could truly understand how terrifying their battle was. What appeared to be a fight between two individuals was actually a clash of rules.
The battle between the enforcers of the myriad realms and the false Celestial Venerable who stole the authority of the Pangu Great World.
"This... I have a feeling that Aoxue can't beat me?" Ye Liuyun said anxiously.
Qiuniu and the others asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Aoxue, do you know this legendary Celestial Venerable who represents hope?"
"Nonsense, she's my wife," Ye Liuyun said without hesitation.
Upon hearing this, all the powerful figures present were stunned. Just imagine, if someone suddenly told them that the Celestial Venerable was her wife, what kind of effect would that have? The key point is that the person who said this was a beautiful girl.
"You? You're kidding, right?" Qiu Niu and the others said, their mouths twitching.
Ye Liuyun was too lazy to explain to them, while Sun Yuan burst into laughter.
“She didn’t lie to you. This little girl was originally a boy. She refined and tested medicines herself and turned herself into a woman. That Feathered Celestial Venerable seemed to have gone to play in a small world before. Then he married this girl and had a child. So naturally, she is his wife.” Sun Yuan was overjoyed.
With Sun Wukong in charge, Donghuang and the others had no choice but to believe him.
"So that's how it is. Wow, kid, oh no, little girl, you're amazing! You even dared to mess with the Heavenly Venerable. I, Old Dragon, admire you to the extreme." Qiuniu was incredibly funny.
The people around him also agreed with Qiuniu's words. Just think about it, a celestial being of such high rank actually became someone's wife. This was something they never dared to imagine.
"Hehe, well, what can I do? I'm just too charming." Ye Liuyun said smugly.
However, while she was feeling smug, she was also very anxious.
"Let's not talk about that for now. What if my wife can't beat him? Look, it seems like she's starting to lose." Ye Liuyun became increasingly anxious as he watched Lin Aoxue begin to retreat.
Donghuang and his group were also quite helpless.
“They are both Celestial Venerables, but this place is the home ground of a Divine Venerable. He can mobilize the power of this world to interfere with the Ascension Celestial Venerable, while the Ascension Celestial Venerable has no way to mobilize the power of this world. It is certain that he will suffer a loss,” Donghuang murmured.
After thinking for a while, Ye Liuyun looked up at the sky and shouted.
"Hey, all you high and mighty celestial beings, can you hear me? I know you're watching the show, but don't just stand there, think of a way to help Aoxue."
When everyone saw Ye Liuyun suddenly call out to the Heavenly Venerable, they all laughed.
"Stop shouting, how could the Celestial Venerable possibly respond to you?"
But he immediately realized he was wrong, because the Celestial Venerable had indeed responded to Ye Liuyun's call.
"Hehe, what's wrong? Getting anxious? It's no use being anxious. You caused all of this yourself. We don't have the authority to do anything about it. We can only watch," a woman said with a smile.
"Yes, that's true. We're anxious too, we don't have the authority," a man replied earnestly.
Upon hearing this voice, Donghuang was startled, for it was the voice of his master and mistress.
"That's right, that's right. Time has its cause and effect. It should end where it began. We don't have the authority to do that."
These people chatted back and forth, as if several people were talking and laughing in the void, as if the future of this world had nothing to do with them, which of course was true.
"Hey, wait a minute, Xiaoyao, why don't you go help that little girl Yuhua? You don't need any special privileges anyway," a Celestial Venerable suggested.
“Me, help her? Why should I help her? This is her business, not mine. Besides, this god is also pursuing the path of freedom. I can't wait for him to win.” An old man chuckled.
Indeed, the carefree Celestial Venerable is the least likely Celestial Venerable to meddle in such matters.
"Pah! When we need you, you hide far away, but when we don't need you, you insist on joining in the fun. Fine, fine, I'll intervene." An old man who sounded like a charlatan said.
After he finished speaking, the God suddenly lost control of the Great Dao of this world, and his connection with the Heavenly Dao of the Pangu Great World was severed.
Once disconnected, he could no longer use the power of this world and could only rely on his own Celestial Venerable power to fight against Lin Aoxue.
After Lin Aoxue realized that the power of the world had broken its connection with the God, she immediately looked up at a certain place in the void.
"A bunch of people who love to watch the show and make trouble. If you can help, then help sooner rather than later. You've made me suffer for so long. Just you wait. After I resolve this matter, I'll come and have some fun with you." Lin Aoxue threatened the guys in the void fiercely.
"Tsk tsk, oh dear, our little Yuhua is angry. I say, you guys, if you have any ideas, please help him out. If he really comes looking for trouble, that would be a real problem." A teasing female voice rang out.
"I definitely can't help unless this world is destroyed, then I might be able to help," a cold female voice rang out.
This dish sounded familiar to Ye Liuyun, as if he had heard it somewhere before.
"Who asked you for help? If you're going to help, you'll only make things worse. Fine, I'll help within my authority." A man with a calmer voice spoke up.
After he finished speaking, five streaks of light pierced the darkness and landed on Lin Aoxue at an extremely fast speed. The weapons and armor in Lin Aoxue's hands immediately shone with an even more dazzling divine light, and her combat power increased greatly in an instant.
The God was beginning to lose. He was forced to retreat continuously by the enhanced Lin Aoxue, and his armor was also torn in several places by Lin Aoxue's attacks.
"This is unfair! This is unfair!" The God roared furiously at the sky.
These celestial beings claim they cannot interfere, but in reality they always manage to find loopholes in the rules to intervene indirectly.
"Stop shouting. It's within our authority and we're not breaking the rules. Who told you to be the villain? We can only cause you some trouble within our authority," said Lingbao Tianzun.
However, by doing so, they must have provoked the God, who certainly had other ways to increase his power.
"You forced me to do this! All living beings of the Pangu Great World, give me all your power!" The God's eyes blazed with murderous intent as he suddenly activated his authority.
He was merely cut off from the power of the Great Dao; however, this world was originally formed from the body of Pangu, and he could use any power in this world to empower himself.
As soon as these words were spoken, a stream of pure energy flowed from the bodies of all living beings in the Pangu Great World. As this power left their bodies, mortals immediately became exhausted, while cultivators were reduced to ordinary people, their power completely drained.
Because their power originally came from this world, now the deity wants to take them back on behalf of this world.
The same was true for Qiuniu and the others standing beside Ye Liuyun; their power uncontrollably drifted toward the God.
Seeing this, Lin Aoxue immediately increased her attack power, trying to interrupt the God.
But it was no use. This wasn't some kind of magic, but rather a matter of authority. Those Celestial Venerables could use their authority, so naturally the Divine Venerables could too. Moreover, the authority he held in this world was complete authority.
