Chapter 280: Chapter 263 Inside the Tower of Chaos 2

Having clung to life for hundreds of millions of years proves that he is a god who fears death, so now that he senses Li Cheng’s strength has grown even stronger, he simply caved in.

With a casual wave of his hand, Li Cheng conjured a black jade-like chair from the ground behind him.

Li Cheng sat down in the chair, smiling at the remnant soul within the Formation, “May I have your name?”

Chaos Clan, Heaven God, Jiang Zhipan!”

He stated his name and did not forget to mention his cultivation level, which made Li Cheng scoff at him. Who was he trying to scare?

“Jiang Heaven God, how are the realms of deities divided?” Li Cheng asked casually.

Jiang Zhipan puffed out his chest, “Then you’ve asked the right person. There are countless mighty beings in my Chaos Clan, so we all know very well how the realms of deities are divided.”

“Once one’s cultivation reaches the Complete Immortal Emperor, and one has fully comprehended a certain Law series to completion, one can proceed to the Divine Path to condense the Divine Patterns. After passing the Divine Tribulation, one can ascend or, through the Divine Path, go to the Divine Realm and become a Heaven God!”

“Heaven Gods have already undergone a transformation in their level of life. Their strength is beyond what you can imagine!”

Li Cheng glanced at Jiang Zhipan. Keep bragging!

You are afraid of me dealing with you, right? So you try to sound as strong as possible?

Seeing the disdain in Li Cheng’s eyes, Jiang Zhipan frowned and said, “What is that look for? As strong as a Heaven God is, indeed, an Immortal Emperor cannot imagine it!”

“You are already dead,” Li Cheng said calmly.

Jiang Zhipan’s brows furrowed deeper, “Let me put it this way. At the level of a deity like me, I could easily crush a galaxy with my hand, easier than killing an ant!”

“You are already dead,” Li Cheng repeated.

Jiang Zhipan’s facial muscles twitched, and he changed the subject, “The Heaven God Realm is divided into early, middle, late, peak, and complete stages, and after that is the True God. I was just a bit short of stepping into the True God Realm. If I had reached the True God Realm, I could have easily killed countless Heaven Gods with a flick of my hand.”

“You are already dead,” Li Cheng said yet again, already dead and still dreaming of the True God Realm?

Jiang Zhipan was furious, “I will say no more! What do you really want to know?”

Li Cheng’s thoughts shifted, and his chair transformed into a rocking chair, which began to rock him delightfully, “To step into the God Realm, besides’ walking the Divine Path to condense the Divine Patterns, is there another way to condense Divine Patterns?”

“How could there be? There’s no other way!” Jiang Zhipan said with certainty. “The Divine Path is part of the Order of Heaven and Earth. Without traveling the Divine Path, one cannot gain the recognition of the Order of Heaven and Earth, and hence cannot condense Divine Patterns.”

So that’s how it is, Li Cheng frowned subtly. No wonder there is a deficiency in Heaven and Earth, the deficiency might just be the part that the Divine Path represents.

With a sigh, Li Cheng said, “What if one does not condense Divine Patterns? There must be other ways to become a deity, right?”

“Are you insane? There’s the Divine Path available, and yet you wish to invent your own way to become a deity… Wait, could it be that the Divine Path is gone?” Jiang Zhipan seemed to have realized something, rushed out of the Formation, and asked Li Cheng.

Li Cheng nodded, “The Three-way Abyss has turned into darkness, and the Divine Path is no more.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhipan widened his eyes and fell silent for a long time.

After a while, Jiang Zhipan took a deep breath, “It’s true then, a high-level God Realm being can easily destroy the Three-way Abyss, and if I were still alive, I would have a great chance of challenging that revered realm!”

“You are already dead,” Li Cheng said indifferently.

Jiang Zhipan snorted coldly and fell silent again.

“Really, no other way?” Li Cheng inquired.

Jiang Zhipan shook his head, “Throughout history, becoming a deity has always meant walking the Divine Path. What could be more convenient than that? Since the Divine Path is gone, then give up the delusion of becoming a deity.”

Li Cheng glanced at him, “The saying goes, ‘All roads lead to Rome.’ Becoming a deity certainly won’t have just this one path. It seems you know very little.” Jiang Zhipan was displeased, frowning at Li Cheng, “There’s only this one path, believe it or not!”

He paused, then added, “I understand now. The Divine Path leads to the Divine Realm, and the mighty ones from the Divine Realm can also come to the Lower World through the Divine Path. It must be that some noble being, intending to protect the Lower World, deliberately destroyed the Divine Path to prevent the powerful from the Divine Realm from descending!”

His theory was not unreasonable, as the destructive power of a God Realm being is immense. A Heaven God could extinguish a galaxy with ease; what about an even higher cultivation?

So perhaps to avoid such a catastrophe, there were mighty ones who directly severed the Divine Path.

“How is it with the ancient battlefield? Was it that god war that led to the change of eras?” Li Cheng asked.

Mentioning the god war, Jiang Zhipan’s expression turned somber.

He sighed before saying, “It’s quite complicated to explain, but in short, it was a conflict between the deities of our realm and those of another world, and they came to annihilate our realm.”

“Of course, we wouldn’t allow it, so the leading big shots chose the Chaos Domain, where my Chaos Clan resided, as the battlefield to fight the external deities.”

“At that time, all our deities participated in the war. Although the enemy was repelled in the end, our deities were almost completely annihilated. It led to the collapse of the Order of Heaven and Earth, the disappearance of numerous legacies, and thus an era ended.”

Jiang Zhipan’s explanation was simple, but both Li Cheng and Immortal Emperor Tianyuan could imagine the terror of that battle.

“When you say the deities of our realm, you mean the deities of our universe, right? How many universes are there?” Li Cheng asked curiously.

‘You could understand it that way. Just consider our realm a small galaxy, while the Divine Realm is where many small galaxies converge. It is said that there are over three thousand realms like ours, and all together, they make up a large universe,” Jiang Zhipan suddenly revealed a smile.

Li Cheng shook his head; this guy was either too lazy to explain in detail, or he himself didn’t know much, so he let one understand it this way.

“Do deities from other realms also rely on the Divine Path to become gods?” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan asked.

Jiang Zhipan nodded, smiling, “As far as this god knows, yes!”

Immortal Emperor Tianyuan raised an eyebrow, “So, the Divine Path was built by powerful deities?”

Jiang Zhipan shrugged, “Who knows? Perhaps one would know upon reaching the pinnacle of the God Realm.”

Li Cheng tapped on the armrest of his rocking chair, “That being said, our realm seems like it has been abandoned. No need to think too much. I always feel there will be another way.”

Jiang Zhipan grinned lazily, “With that lazy demeanor of yours, solutions won’t come knocking on your door.”

Don’t mind me; I’m pleased. Let me lie down a bit longer,” Li Cheng said, closing his eyes.

Immortal Emperor Tianyuan pondered, “Elder Jiang, the Three-way Abyss leads to both the Netherworld and the Divine Realm. The entrance to the Netherworld was sealed by Chaos Yuan Great Venerable, but the entrance to the Divine Realm—that is, the Divine Path-could it be possible that it’s merely sealed and not destroyed?”

Jiang Zhipan’s smile grew even wider, “The destruction of the Divine Path was your words. I’ve been dead too long and haven’t gone to the Three-way Abyss to check, how would I know?”

Immortal Emperor Tianyuan turned to Li Cheng, “Right, the Three-way Abyss may be destroyed, but the Divine Path might not be!”

Jiang Zhipan waved his hand, the smile on his face intensifying, “Even if it was destroyed, so what? The Divine Path is part of the Order of Heaven and Earth.

Since the heavens and earth still exist, that means that part of the order is still there, just hidden somewhere.”

“Find it, release it, and won’t the Divine Path return?”

Upon hearing this, Li Cheng slowly opened his eyes, a sharp light twinkling within, “Exactly!”

“Elder Jiang, having stayed here for hundreds of millions of years, you must be tired of it too. Why not join Li Cheng on the search?” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan suggested.

Jiang Zhipan’s smile froze, “I told you all this just to have you leave my territory quickly, and now you want to take me along?”

“Elder Jiang is quite straightforward; just tell us if you will go or not,” Li Cheng looked at Jiang Zhipan.

Jiang Zhipan heaved a sigh, “Then you must bring the Tower of Chaos; without

it, I would turn to ashes in an instant.”

“Bringing the Hundred Yin Nourishing Soul Array should be enough!” Li Cheng said.

Jiang Zhipan shrugged, noncommittal.

Li Cheng easily transferred the Hundred Yin Nourishing Soul Array into the Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod, “Let’s start our search from the Three-way Abyss!”

Immortal Emperor Tianyuan nodded, suddenly as if struck by a thought, his expression turned excited.

“What is it?” Li Cheng asked with suspicion.

Immortal Emperor Tianyuan regained his senses, joyfully exclaimed, “When Grand Venerable Bai Jie took the various powerhouses away all those years ago, they likely were also in search of the Divine Path!”

Li Cheng contemplated, nodding slightly, “That’s very possible, and they weren’t aimlessly searching but went directly somewhere. It seems we need to inquire with Elder Yan and the others; they might have some clues.”

Li Cheng moved his limbs slightly, then added, “They’ve been gone for tens of thousands of years; we don’t know how long it will take us. I need to make arrangements with my disciples.”
