Chapter 1455: You Know Nothing of My Power

The Old God was undoubtedly terrifying. As he charged forward, Ye Guan immediately felt a dreadful pressure.

Under Ye Guan's gaze, the Old God crashed into the deepest part of the tribulation nebula like a meteor.

Boom!

The core of the nebula erupted instantly, and many bolts of tribulation lightning were shattered by the sheer force of the impact.

Witnessing that, Ye Guan's expression changed slightly.

Compared to the Old God, he was still lacking in power.

Soon, the Old God was forcibly suppressed and pushed back to his original position.

When he landed, he was wrapped in lightning, shining brilliantly. He didn't dispel the tribulation lightning around him. Instead, he let it cling to his body, absorbing it.

Moments later, he had fully absorbed all the tribulation lightning.

The Old God laughed and said, "They're actually great medicine for us."

Ye Guan asked, "Brother Old God, if the two of us manage to enter the Main Universe, would we be considered mere ants?"

"Of course not!" The Old God looked at Ye Guan and laughed, "What are you thinking? The civilization of the Main Universe is indeed far more advanced than ours, but that doesn't mean we're ants. Little brother, don't underestimate yourself. They just happened to be born in a better environment. If we were born there, we'd wipe the floor with them. I have that confidence.

Haha!

"

Ye Guan smiled. "Even if we weren't born there, we'd still wipe the floor with them."

The Old God looked Ye Guan up and down and burst out laughing. "That's how a swordsman should be like!

Haha!

"

Ye Guan also laughed.

"Ridiculous!"

Just then, a voice slowly echoed from the nebula above.

Ye Guan frowned slightly and looked up. A hazy face slowly drifted down from the tribulation nebula, completely ignoring its destructive power, floating straight above them.

It was a man's face, looking extremely hostile.

Ye Guan looked at him. He didn't know who the man was, but he had a good guess why he came.

The face looked down on Ye Guan with the arrogance of a god looking at ants. "You're Ye Guan?"

Ye Guan smiled. "Yes."

The face stared at him. "I truly look forward to your arrival in the Main Universe. Truly."

Ye Guan chuckled. "Are you the one betrothed to Lady Sui Gujin?"

The face glared at him.

Ye Guan sternly said, "To be honest, I really wasn't to blame here. I'm a victim, too..."

"Silence!"

The face roared with rage, staring at Ye Guan, killing intent radiating from his eyes like a tangible force. "You lowly bastard... You deserve to die. You must die!"

A strange power burst forth. Although it weakened as it reached them, it still made the tribulation nebula tremble violently.

Ye Guan said calmly, "Lady Sui and I are genuinely in love. Before she left, she feared loneliness, so she asked me to give her a child. If you want to blame someone, blame me. Don't blame her. Everything is my fault..."

Little Pagoda was speechless.

The hazy face twisted in fury but quickly calmed down. Looking down at Ye Guan, he said, "I really hope to see you soon here. Really."

And with that, the face faded away into nothingness.

After it vanished, the Old God laughed. "Were you deliberately provoking him?"

Ye Guan replied, "No. I was just telling him the truth."

The Old God was puzzled for a moment, and then he understood. Ye Guan's words to that mysterious man were a warning. He was saying that something was amiss. How could a peerless woman like Sui Gujin fall so easily in love with a man, and willingly bear his child?

It didn't make sense at all.

The Old God said, "He probably understood you, but he still wants to kill you."

Ye Guan nodded. "Yes, because this isn't just about a man's pride and dignity. It also concerns the reputation and honor of an entire organization. Lady Sui is playing a political move. That man knows it's not that simple, but he has no choice. He has to kill me, or he and his faction will become laughingstocks."

The Old God turned to Ye Guan. "Is there no other solution?"

Ye Guan shook his head. "Since ancient times, there's been no counter to an open conspiracy."

The Old God laughed.

"What are you laughing at, Elder?"

The Old God smiled. "Are you afraid of them?"

Ye Guan asked in return, "What do you think?"

The Old God looked at him. "Brother, you're really something. Truly."

Ye Guan blinked but said nothing.

The Old God continued, "You say she played an open scheme, but aren't you playing one, too? On the surface, it looks like you're provoking that man. But in reality, you're explaining the situation to him. He has no choice but to kill you. But doesn't that feel oppressive for him and his organization as well? Definitely.

"They'll have to make it seem like it was about love, like she truly loved you. That way, the Main Universe's attention will shift toward her. You're trying to make her and that man's faction oppose each other, right?"

Ye Guan nodded. "Exactly."

The Old God became intrigued. "So what do you think she'll do?"

Ye Guan said calmly, "Simple. She just needs to say that she reincarnated and lost her memories. Then I took advantage of her. That way, all the blame will be shifted to me, and it'd make perfect sense for them to kill me."

"You're testing her to see if she has any genuine affection for you, right?"

"Things aren't that simple. There are several layers of—Senior, when did you start getting interested in petty drama?"

"What can I say? It's just too boring here."

Ye Guan laughed. "True. I'd get bored too if I were alone here long enough."

Ye Guan then looked up at the tribulations nebula and inwardly said,

"Master Pagoda, can you absorb this entire nebula into your world?"

Little Pagoda responded,

"Shouldn't be a problem!"

"Holy crap! You... you're serious?"

"Who do you think you're doubting?"

Ye Guan was speechless.

Little Pagoda calmly remarked,

"You know nothing of my power."

Ye Guan was speechless.

Master Pagoda was putting on a show again.

But mostly, he was excited. He had only asked casually, not expecting anything, but the pagoda could actually do it?

Clearly, his father had put real effort into upgrading the pagoda!

Ye Guan looked at the Old God beside him. After a moment's thought, he said, "Senior, cultivating in this place might take forever. How about we train somewhere else?"

The Old God was puzzled. "Somewhere else?"

Ye Guan nodded. "

Mmhm.

"

The Old God asked curiously, "Where?"

Ye Guan smiled and opened his palm. Little Pagoda appeared. "Master Pagoda, time to shine."

Little Pagoda transformed into a beam of golden light and shot into the depths of the nebula.

Sensing danger, the tribulation nebula burst with lightning, trying to resist. However, the pagoda unleashed a beam of golden light that ignored the tribulation lightning and wrapped around the entire nebula.

The nebula trembled violently.

Little Pagoda was somewhat stunned. "This thing is crazy strong. Quick, get Little Soul to help!"

Ye Guan quickly opened his hand, and the Qingxuan Sword flew into the pagoda.

A moment later, to the Old God's astonishment, the entire tribulation nebula was absorbed into the tiny pagoda. He turned to Ye Guan, stunned.

Ye Guan smiled. "Let's train in the pagoda."

Ye Guan had long realized that whenever someone had a cheat code, they ought to use it without feeling guilty. Otherwise, it'd be too late for regrets when the beating was finally there.

Now, he would do everything he could to level up within the rules.

Ye Guan brought the Old God into the Little Pagoda.

As soon as they entered, the Old God was stunned. "This..."

Ye Guan smiled. "I stumbled across this pagoda by chance. Training here is much faster."

The Old God exclaimed, "This pagoda is amazing... If we can train here, holy crap... we're going to be invincible!"

Ye Guan laughed. "Senior, let's train hard here first. Once we're stronger, we'll head up to the Main Universe."

The Old God hesitated. "I can't accept this for free... it feels wrong..."

Just as Ye Guan was about to speak, the Old God added, "How about this, I owe you three favors. Whenever you need me, I won't refuse. If you won't agree with my offer, I'm going to leave this instant."

Ye Guan could tell he wasn't joking, so he smiled. "Alright."

"

Hahaha!

" The Old God laughed. "Thanks, Brother Ye!"

Ye Guan laughed as well. "No need to be polite."

And so, the two began their cultivation within the tiny pagoda.

Meanwhile, Sui Gujin was busy reviewing thousands of golden scrolls on the table before her.

Just then, a spiritual projection of Soul appeared before her.

Soul respectfully reported, "Ruler Sui, Dao Cang Lineage is spreading the word that you and Young Master Ye are truly in love..."

Without even looking up, Sui Gujin paused, then said, "Have someone spread the message that I reincarnated, lost my memory, and Ye Guan took advantage of me..."

Soul lowered her head silently. What a ruthless move.

Just as Soul was about to leave, Sui Gujin added, "Also, leak the news that Ye Guan intends to unify the vast expanse and establish his Order. Spread the details of his Order Dao as well."

Soul froze.

Revealing Ye Guan's Order Dao meant that Ye Guan would become public enemy number one before he could even reach the Main Universe. This wasn't just a heartless move. Sui Gujin had basically decided to leave him with no way out.
