Paradise of Demonic Gods

Each person in the group left behind a bit of their powers as a clone to stay in the Ice Soul Divine Palace.

Then Qiu Dao kept the Seven Saints' Great Golden Pagoda. Everyone rode on it and returned to the underwater city, sending the over ten disciples into the Ice Soul Divine Palace.

After completing all these, the eight Divine level experts rode on the Seven Saints' Great Golden Pagoda, turned into a stream of golden light, and leaped into outer space.

At the highest level of the Seven Saints' Great Golden Pagoda, Qiu Dao and the other seven of the group each took a seat as martial will gushed out from their bodies and surged rapidly into the great golden pagoda. The seven martial wills then mixed into one, turning into an extremely majestic and surging force.

Qiu Dao looked at Fang Xingjian and said, "Fellow Fang, this is sudden, but the Seven Saints' Great Golden Pagoda was jointly created by the seven of us and require all seven of us to control it together. We'll have to trouble you to help guard over us."

Even though he mentioned that they would require Fang Xingjian to help be on guard, the Seven Saints' Great Golden Pagoda's defense could already stand up against the pressure of the Earth's core. Moreover, with how the powers of the seven of them were combined into one, there was actually no need for additional protection.

Qiu Dao said this only because it was impossible for them to hand over the right to control the Seven Saints' Great Golden Pagoda to a newcomer like Fang Xingjian. He was just making things sound a little nicer.

Zi Xing smiled and said, "Younger brother, don't blame us for being stingy. The Seven Saints' Great Golden Pagoda is of great importance, and we have depleted all of our resources. There's no way that we can hand it over to someone else easily."

Fang Xingjian said indifferently, "That's how things should be handled."

However, the Snake King let out a cold snort. "If it's something that even the Seven Saints' Great Golden Pagoda is unable to fend off, what can you possibly do? When we fight later, you just stay and watch in the pagoda. Don't go out wantonly."

'This Seven Saints' Great Golden Pagoda is already a level 34 Divine Remains Equipment, and it is comparable to a top notch tier five Divine level expert,' Fang Xingjian secretly assessed. 'Now that it's able to combine the powers of all seven of them, I wonder what other remarkable prowess it has.

'If that's the case, there might really be hope to defeat the Divine Emperor.'

Fang Xingjian's gaze flickered. If things could proceed as planned—with Wan Tong activating the electromagnetic pulses to paralyze the network across the planet, followed by them killing the Divine Emperor within these 15 minutes—there was really hope to succeed.

Luo Haonan also seemed to be a lot more confident and could not help but keep talking to Fang Xingjian through information currents, "Brother Fang, the Qiu Dao Alliance is fully prepared this time around. I think that there's a high chance for the Divine Emperor to fall."

Fang Xingjian said calmly, "The Divine Emperor has grasped the entire planet's resources, and his technologies are constantly advancing. It's still better to be careful."

"Haha, it's useless no matter how powerful his technologies are," Luo Haonan said, boosting his morale. "The planet-wide electromagnetic pulses that Wan Tong performs are sufficient to paralyze his entire army. We'll then use the Seven Saints' Great Golden Pagoda to crush the Divine Emperor's actual body or to capture him.

"As long as we have the Divine Emperor under control, his armies can be annihilated with ease."

Seeing how excited Luo Haonan was, Fang Xingjian did not say anything. Although there was a chance of succeeding, he still felt that there were too many uncertain areas.

Qiu Dao said, "I've already ascertained that the Divine Emperor's exact location is on the frozen land in the north. This time around, we'll charge our way there with the Seven Saints' Great Golden Pagoda. Once we discover the Divine Emperor's true form, we'll trouble Wan Tong to activate the electromagnetic pulses."

No one had any objections. At the next moment, the Seven Saints' Great Golden Pagoda turned into a stream of golden light and flew toward North Asia.

With this just short moment of movement, the countenances of everyone present changed slightly. Everyone sensed a great danger with their Sudden Inspiration.

Right then, everyone realized that this operation was not as smooth-sailing as they had imagined.

...

Simultaneously, on a stretch of snow plains in North Asia, the entire place was already covered by endless machines.

Silver-colored metal bugs could be seen flying around in the sky. These bugs flew through the tailing plasma flames. They had eight tentacles on the sides of their bodies that continued to pass through rocks, gathering resources.

The place within a range of over ten kilometers under the snow plains was an underground base created from a superalloy. It was like an extremely complicated ant nest, and densely packed metal bugs could be seen everywhere.

Clearly, the Divine Emperor felt that compared to robots, these robotic bugs had greater adaptability and price-performance ratio.

In an extremely luxurious palace in the deepest part of the underground base, a young man with blonde hair and blue eyes lay on a water bed. There were beautiful ladies of various skin colors around him.

All of them were dressed sexily and were very beautiful. Some of them were massaging the young man's legs, others were feeding him fruits, and there were also some who were embraced by the young man as he had his way with them.

An elderly man with white hair and beard stood before the young man just like an old steward, keeping his eyes on the ground.

This elderly man was Qiu Dao Alliance's Alliance Chief—Qiu Dao.

"Haha," the young man looked at the elderly man and said, "Old Dao, do you want to come over and have some fun?" He then grabbed a beautiful lady with blonde hair next to him. That lady had a pair of big eyes that were like blue gemstones, a great figure, and a face that could let her be chosen as Miss Universe.

However, this lady was now being grabbed by the young man and brought to the sky.

"This is the latest human imitation that I've created. Regardless of its appearance or touch, it's no different from that of an actual person," the young man said. "Hahahaha, I can custom-make a lady for you regardless of the type that you're looking for."

Qiu Dao shook his head slightly and said, "Divine Emperor, they've come."

The young man waved his hand, seemingly unconcerned. "Hahahaha, they're here? I heard that you have a new Divine level joining you. How is he? Is that newcomer strong?"

"This person is called Fang Xingjian. The great prowess of his martial will is probably not beneath mine," Qiu Dao said.

"Hahahaha. That means he is trash?" The young man asked, seemingly unconcerned about Qiu Dao's grim countenance. Then he continued to say, "Leave that Zi Xing. I'm going to deal with her personally. Hehehehe. As for the others, capture all of them to use as a generators. Using tier four Divine level experts as generators... It's enough to last for very long."

Qiu Dao's countenance turned even grimmer. However, when facing the Divine Emperor who was smiling like an idiot, he could not raise any will to resist.

The development rate of the Divine Emperor's armies, as well as his technological level, had far surpassed that of Qiu Dao's expectations.

As the strongest expert in the Qiu Dao Alliance, Qiu Dao was the person who could probe the most about the Divine Emperor's situation. He was also the one who despaired the most amongst them all.

After countless thoughts and ideas, as well as repeated attempts to probe, Qiu Dao understood that it was impossible for them to go up against the Divine Emperor.

After sinking into despair, he thought of joining the Divine Emperor's side.

There was another thing he had to take into consideration—he had left the parallel world he came from for over ten years.

'It has been ten years. With the world's metamorphosis, my enemies have probably surpassed me in strength. Moreover, in the world that I came from, the ninth onslaught was impending. If I continue staying here, I'll be able to avoid it.'

Compared to the world he came from, what the Divine Emperor showed Qiu Dao was an extremely vast blueprint. There was no need to pass through space-time. The endless universe was already sufficient for them to explore. Relying on the Divine Emperor's technological prowess, he could still enjoy a good life in this universe. He did not need to face the threat of other enemies who were at tier six or even seven of the Divine level, nor did he need to be worried about the threat of the ninth onslaught.

Since he could not stand up to the Divine Emperor and there were benefits in this for him, Qiu Dao naturally followed this path happily and readily.
