Yang Qi worked on his cultivation and waited for General Samman. Thanks to Heaven Dancer, he was absolutely sure Samman would come. And when he arrived, he would attack with full force to get to Yang Qi.

That would be when his big chance came.

Right now, his most pressing concern was to get stronger. To reach the Godmyth level. He had to reach the Godmyth level!

It was hard to say if he really would be able to jump in at the last minute to take advantage of the situation. Maybe he could kill both General Samman and Leaf Dao-Denier, then take the piece of the Cruiser of Civilization with its vivicreation systems and the additional legacy medallions.

Yang Qi had no idea exactly how many medallions General Samman had, but he had to have at least one. And Young Master Leaf currently had two. If Yang Qi could get all of them, that would give him a total of seven, at which point few people in heaven and earth could be a match for him. Even if he encountered someone with the final two medallions, those two would simply fly over to join his larger collection.

‘Win or lose, it all ends soon!’

If he succeeded, the resources at his disposal would put him in the position of being able to dominate the Buddha Gods in the Dao Defense League, and even Chaos God patriarchs.

In fact, he would most likely become the top figure in all the immortal worlds.

Right now, he was nothing more than a pawn of the patriarchs. But success in this endeavor would allow him to finally assert his dominance.

He went about his breathing exercises, using King Heaven-Devourer’s talismans to convert the essence of the Tusita Heaven into Heaven-Devouring ?arīras, which he then converted into medicinal tablets of extremely high quality.

Those tablets were extremely popular in the Dao Defense League and were already being used as currency by some people. Because of them, many patriarchs refused to leave Yang Qi’s side, figuratively speaking of course. There were even eighth and ninth division patriarchs who collected the tablets in the hopes of acquiring more godly-class energy arts in the future.

Yang Qi knew how important he was, but at the same time, he was aware of the adage an ordinary man who possesses great treasure makes himself a big target. There was no question that he was already the subject of envious eyes.

Upon leaving for the Tusita Heaven as his true self, he’d left a power double in the Dao Defense League to confuse any enemies. And of course, his power double had plenty of medicinal tablets that he could use to treat the effects of heterogeneous true energy.

Even just the business of selling medicinal tablets was enough to make him the richest person in all of the lower immortal worlds.

The Sage Monarch Heaven was constantly growing, and the disciples from there focused on intense training. Many of them went out to join the Dao Defense League and make names for themselves, participating in battles with the future warriors. Such direct training helped them to grow much more quickly than before. And because everyone was so entranced with Yang Qi, anyone associated with his Sage Panacea Sect was treated with utmost courtesy. Therefore, it was unlikely that any of them would experience unfortunate accidents.

“Milord!”

Even as Yang Qi continued to experience breakthroughs, and was working on his sixth dao lineament, a green flash entered the private bedchamber and Young Lady Green Blaze appeared. Bowing respectfully, she said, “Sir, I have some important information. If you really want to reach the Godmyth level, I think you should consider attending the imperial examination of the reigning dynasty of the Tusita Heaven. Although the exam is brutally difficult, considering what you’re capable of, Milord, I doubt they would be much trouble for you. The top young geniuses will have a shot to be promoted within the dynasty, and the most outstanding will win god dao seeds.”

“God dao seeds?” Yang Qi said. “What are those?”

“Milord, god dao seeds come from one of the largest godrelics we have in the Tusita Heaven, the ancient Live Forever God Tree. Every year, it produces seeds containing immense power, so much so that even one such seed is usually enough to push someone into the Godmyth level. They’re considered top treasures within the Tusita Heaven, so if you’re in a bottleneck, Milord, you could definitely use them. If you agree, I can arrange for you to assume the identity of a Green Clan genius disciple. Perform well, and you can get one of those god dao seeds, and then hopefully reach the Godmyth level.”

Yang Qi nodded. “These god dao seeds sound similar to the virtual godhood produced by the future world. Although Godmyths are common here in the Tusita Heaven, they’re still considered minor nobility, so resources like this are still considered very important. Unfortunately, I’m different. Even if I participated and won a god dao seed or two, that wouldn’t be enough for a breakthrough. I doubt even a hundred thousand would suffice. And I doubt the imperial dynasty will hand over that many to me.”

“Er....” Young Lady Green Blaze immediately felt very awkward.

“That said,” Yang Qi continued, “I appreciate your thoughtfulness. Tell me, where is this Live Forever God Tree? And tell me everything you know about the Tusita imperial dynasty. If it produces those seeds on a yearly basis, then the dynasty must have plenty of them in storage. Maybe I can steal them. If I manage to get a whole bunch at once, perhaps I could reach the Godmyth level.”

Although god dao seeds could indeed push people into the Godmyth level, Yang Qi had a special constitution that made his requirements many billions of times higher than those of ordinary people. Because of that, he would need a huge amount of those seeds to make any significant breakthrough.

Even if he partook in the exam Young Lady Green Blaze was talking about, there was no way he would win enough god dao seeds to be of use. Not unless the leaders of the Tusita dynasty were complete and utter fools.

Besides, there was no guarantee that the dynasty’s storehouses would even have enough of them for his purposes.

Looking quite embarrassed, Young Lady Green Blaze said, “Er, no, you absolutely, positively cannot try to rob god dao seeds from the storehouses. They’re located in the depths of the dynasty and guarded by countless old-timers and god formations. There are even rumors of demigod eccentrics that hide out there. There was one time when a rogue cultivator came along and tried to steal a god item called the Woven Gold Dragon Wings, only to be ruthlessly slaughtered. And he was a Chaos God! Only actual gods could possibly steal things from the Tusita imperial storehouse.”

Yang Qi was shocked at this information. ‘A Chaos God was killed? The defenses of those storehouses must be incredible indeed. Demigod patriarchs surpass the Chaos God level. After all, the reason they’re called demigod patriarchs is that they’re ‘halfway to being a true god’! There are nine sub-levels involved in going from the Demolishing level to the Godmyth level, and they involve the nine lineaments on the dao heart. When it comes to passing the gap from the Chaos God level to the Deathless level, there must be an additional nine sub-levels. And each one will obviously be more difficult than the previous. If that weren’t the case, then considering how common Chaos God patriarchs are in the thirtieth ranked immortal worlds and higher, how come there aren’t any people here who have reached the Deathless Throne?’

There were as many immortal worlds as there were eternal sands in the universe, and among them, there were a lot that were in the thirty-third rank. During his time in the Dao Defense League, he had asked around and confirmed that there were plenty of Chaos Gods there.

However, there were no instances of anyone reaching the ancient level of the legion of gods. In fact, there wasn’t even a single Lesser God.

The only explanation he could think of was that reaching the Deathless Throne was incredibly difficult. Was it just impossible in general? Or was it a limitation of this current era? Was this era incapable of producing real gods?

“If you put it that way,” Yang Qi said to Young Lady Green Blaze, “I guess I have no hope of getting any god dao seeds.” At the moment, though, Yang Qi just wasn\'t ready to give up on the idea. He still had a month to work with, and if he just practiced normal cultivation he wouldn’t reach the Godmyth level during that time. But if he could get his hands on a whole bunch of god dao seeds, it might be a different story.

“I have an idea,” Young Lady Green Blaze said. “I\'ve heard that the Live Forever God Tree is located within some ancient primal-chaos debris, surrounded by numerous godrelics. It’s a very dangerous location. The exam usually involves going into that primal-chaos debris field, getting close to the tree, and plucking a single seed!

“The Live Forever God Tree is a naturally-occurring god tree, planted in the distant past by some almighty being. Milord, if you can get close to that tree, maybe you can unlock its secrets. Perhaps the tree itself could push you into the Godmyth level. The only downside is that, of the billions of geniuses who take the exam every year, only a few get close to the Live Forever God Tree. And most of those who fail to reach the tree die. That said, Milord, even though you’re only a Dao-Demolisher, you’re still about as strong as a Measureless God. I don’t think you should have any trouble.”

“So that’s how it is,” Yang Qi said. He nodded. “Alright, I’ll go check things out. I\'m curious to see this tree. And you never know, maybe I can acquire some of its essence. If I can unlock the secrets of how it produces god dao seeds, maybe I can reach the Godmyth level. Go ahead and make the arrangements.”

“Yes sir!” Young Lady Green Blaze said, turning to leave.

“Wait,” Yang Qi said. He reached out and placed his hand on her head and sent some true energy into her. “You’ve served me well so far, so it would be remiss of me not to reward you. Take some of my animadestiny true energy. It can negate the effects of heterogeneous true energy, strengthen your nascent divinity, and allow you to communicate with ghost-gods of hell. With it, you can combine your godly-class energy arts to much greater effect. Simplify the complex, and turn it into a great dao.”

RUUUUMBLE!

Young Lady Green Blaze felt rumblings as if thunder were coursing through her, as well as the thrum of immortal music. Before long, she began glowing with a green light as her various godly-class energy arts fused together, making her much stronger and pushing her toward the verge of another breakthrough.

“Many thanks, Milord!” she said, dropping to her knees and offering thanks. She knew that, with this help, she would soon have an even higher position in the Green Clan.

“My brother Green Merchant, the Berserk One, will be out of seclusion soon. I wouldn’t be surprised if he plans to take the exam as well. Please feel free to subjugate him the moment he’s out. Then he can get close to Young Master Leaf and stick a blade deep into his back. If he doesn’t kill him, at least he can hurt him!”
