Chapter 1459: Everything Is Arranged

Upon witnessing that, the Old God below was stunned. He hadn't expected Ye Guan to actually suppress those three thousand tribulations by force.

He's actually defying the heavens?

He knew Ye Guan's faith power was formidable, but he hadn't realized that it was

this

powerful, powerful enough to suppress even those tribulations. It was completely beyond his expectations.

The Old God let out a chuckle. "This little brother of mine is quite something."

Within the nebula, Ye Guan devoured the tribulations after suppressing them using his Order.

His Mad Demon Bloodline was inherently capable of devouring evil, and coupled with his cultivation of Evil Dao, he naturally possessed the ability to consume evil intent. Of course, with just these two things alone, he wouldn't be able to resist the tribulations.

The key was his exceptionally pure faith power.

Before his faith power, his bloodline, and his Evil Dao, the tribulations were powerless. They were left with no choice but to be absorbed and devoured by Ye Guan.

The Evil Dao and Mad Demon Bloodline within Ye Guan surged wildly just then.

The Old God was utterly astonished. Even without tapping into the faith power, Ye Guan was already as strong as Civilization Ancestor experts. With his faith power, he would exceed the limits of this civilization.

In other words, Ye Guan had already broken free from the shackles of this civilization, and not just a little, but to a degree far surpassing a Tier Six Minor Civilization.

Even within the Main Universe, he would be a terrifying expert. What was more frightening was that Ye Guan's true strength was unknown. His enemies could no longer estimate his real strength. In a battle, such unpredictability would surely make his opponents suffer immensely.

Although the Old God trusted Ye Guan, he was still prepared to step in at any time.

At this moment, two factions were silently waiting outside the Sea of Life.

One side was led by Sui Wuhan of the Dao Cang Lineage, accompanied by over a dozen powerful cultivators. Their auras were hidden, deep and unfathomable.

The other side consisted of Xuan Ru of the Brahma Heaven Kingdom, who was followed by a single old man. The elder wore a simple long robe, tall and thin, eyes as still as a deep well.

His presence could not be felt, and it was like he didn't exist at all.

Both sides were aware of each other's presence, yet they didn't meet.

Although the three great powers of the Main Universe had once shared common origins, their relations were far from friendly; there were just too many conflicts of interest.

Still, none of them could annihilate the others completely, so a fragile peace had been maintained all these years.

Staring at the Sea of Life, Xuan Ru said, "Elder Ku, it seemed like my master had more to say before I left."

The old man behind him responded, "Since the Grand Perceptor has told you to go all-in, then do so. If you do well, good. If not, that's fine too, he'll clean up afterward."

"Of course, I intend to succeed..." Xuan Ru opened his palm, revealing a scroll. "I never imagined that Lady Sheng Gujin would be so bold..."

Upon her return, the Holy King Hall Master died under mysterious circumstances, and she took over the position without meeting any resistance. None opposed her at all.

It was truly hard to believe.

Elder Ku said, "Young Master, just do your best. Don't overthink it."

"I'll do my best, of course." Xuan Ru nodded. "This is a huge opportunity for me."

He then looked toward the Sea of Life, quietly awaiting the arrival of that young man.

He was extremely curious about that young man.

***

It took Ye Guan thirty full years to completely devour all the tribulations.

After doing so, his strength underwent a complete transformation, especially his Evil Dao and Mad Demon Bloodline.

The power of his bloodline was now over ten times stronger than before. In fact, he no longer dared to recklessly activate it. Meanwhile, his Evil Dao became so powerful that even his faith power had difficulty suppressing it.

Furthermore, he had acquired a new ability—Tribulation Dao.

Basically, he was now a walking tribulation. Within the nebula, Ye Guan opened his eyes. Within them, two swirling blood-red lightning storms raged.

"Congratulations," said the Old God, walking over with a smile.

Ye Guan took a deep breath, suppressing all the evil intent.

His Mad Demon Bloodline also calmed down. Right now, the bloodline was extremely obedient. It was both reverent and fearful of Ye Guan. He was no longer the same person as before. His faith power had become so powerful that even the bloodline couldn't resist it.

Once he calmed down, Ye Guan turned to the Old God and smiled. "Brother, shall we head to the Main Universe?"

The Old God asked, "Already?"

"Yes."

The Old God laughed, "Aren't you afraid that the big shots up there will target you?"

"If it were before, I wouldn't dare. But now..."

"Now it's different?"

"Everything is arranged. Let's go."

With that, he took the Old God and left the tiny pagoda.

The two of them slowly rose, and before long, they reached a curtain of water.

Looking at it, the Old God said, "This is the barrier that shackles our civilization..."

Ye Guan stared at the water curtain. It looked like nothing more than a simple veil of water, but there was a strange power inside it.

It was the power of a complex seal.

The Old God asked, "Do you want to do it, or shall I?"

𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Ye Guan calmly said, "It wouldn't dare stop me."

The Old God was momentarily stunned.

Sure enough, the power within the water curtain dissipated as soon as he approached it.

The Old God was astonished. "This..."

"Brother, were you the first to reach the Ruler Divine Temple?"

The Old God shook his head, replying, "Beixin Ci probably went before me. So, including me, two people reached it before you."

Ye Guan said, "Wrong."

The Old God looked at him in surprise. Ye Guan smiled, "My father and my aunt also went there."

The Old God was puzzled, but Ye Guan didn't explain. He and the Old God broke through the water curtain and emerged outside.

As soon as they surfaced, a voice greeted them, "Lord Ye, we've been waiting."

Ye Guan turned and saw a young man walking toward him.

It was Sui Wuhan, and a warm smile tugged at his lips. "Lord Ye, let me introduce myself. I am Sui Wuhan from the Dao Cang Lineage. I have been waiting for you under my young master's orders."

Ye Guan was about to respond when another voice came from the other side. "Lord Ye."

It was Xuan Ru, and a smile tugged at his lips as well as he said, "Lord Ye, I am Xuan Ru, Grand Advisor of the Brahma Heaven Kingdom. I, too, am under orders to await your arrival."

The Old God looked at both men in disbelief. He looked at the two and asked, "No one waiting for me?"

Sui Wuhan and Xuan Ru ignored him, and their eyes were fixed on Ye Guan.

The Old God was speechless.

This is what it means to not have connections up there...

Ye Guan glanced at the two and smiled. "Gentlemen, is there something you need from me?"

Sui Wuhan said, "Lord Ye, we would like to invite you to join the Dao Cang Lineage."

He opened his palm, revealing a storage ring that floated before Ye Guan.

"This is a token of our goodwill. Please accept it."

Ye Guan peeked into the ring, and his heart skipped a beat. There were five Ancestral Spiritual Veins inside!

He was no stranger to these. The world inside the Sea of Life only had one, and it was the reason the Old Lands managed to produce three major civilizations.

Xuan Ru added, "Lord Ye, we brought a small token of our goodwill."

He sent over a storage ring.

Ye Guan glanced into it and saw eight Ancestral Spiritual Veins!

Sui Wuhan frowned. He then turned to Xuan Ru and smiled. "What is the meaning of this, Brahma Heaven Kingdom?"

Xuan Ru calmly replied, "No particular meaning. And even if there is, we don't owe you an explanation."

Sui Wuhan didn't get angry. He smiled and said, "Trying to outbid us, huh?"

He opened his palm again and sent over another ring.

Five more Ancestral Spiritual Veins. Added to the first five, that was ten in total!

A truly massive show of wealth.

The powerhouses behind Sui Wuhan were all shocked and frankly, a little jealous.

This guy had just arrived from a low-tier universe and was already being treated like this?

Before Ye Guan could respond, Xuan Ru also opened his palm, and another ring appeared.

Ten more Ancestral Spirit Veins were inside the storage ring for a total of eighteen!

Have they gone mad?!

Everyone behind Sui Wuhan was utterly shocked, eighteen Ancestral Spiritual veins! That was more than enough to nurture at least three Civilization Ancestor Realm elites. And it wouldn't be just barely qualified ones, but genuine powerhouses!

That many Ancestral Spiritual Veins could sustain a civilization with three billion beings.

Sui Wuhan's face darkened slightly. "Eighteen Ancestral Spiritual Veins... what a grand gesture!"

He opened his palm, and a longsword suddenly appeared before Ye Guan.

"A Civilization Ancestor-grade weapon!"

Xuan Ru's brows furrowed tightly. He hadn't expected Sui Wuhan to bring out a Civilization Ancestor-grade weapon. A weapon like that was as strong as a Civilization Ancestor expert, after all.

Sui Wuhan glanced at Xuan Ru, looking smug.

The Old God also frowned.

What's with this guy? Is he trying to pick a fight?

Just then, Xuan Ru pulled out a storage ring.
