He prepared to use the Dragon God Hall as the core, creating a Heavenly Demon formation to resist the invasion of the Heavenly Rules.
After his careful research, he discovered that the Heavenly Demon formation was not only an offensive and containment formation, but also a defensive one when used properly.
He then finalized the plan and had the God of Fire and the God of Water create it together, as they were his disciples.
They also had considerable knowledge of the demonic path, making them very suitable.
As for Yun Fan, he was not about to be a hands-off manager. Instead, he planned to visit the mortal realm to see if it had been greatly affected.
If it had been affected, he would risk bringing his loved ones and his beloved from the mortal realm up.
Since Yun Fan formulated the formation, the Dragon God Hall was renamed the Heavenly Demon Hall, and Yun Fan was now in control.
Furthermore, the Dragon God's grave was now so old that it was covered in grass, so renaming it the Heavenly Demon Hall was more fitting for his status.
Then, Yun Fan set off and arrived at the border of the Divine Realm. Recalling the past, he had met Wuming here and then stepped into the Divine Realm.
Now, he was no longer the novice he once was.
He really wanted to see Wuming again. As it turned out, Wuming seemed to have known he was coming.
Therefore, he had deliberately waited for him here.
"Demon Ancestor, we meet again!"
He said to Yun Fan, then threw out a fishing rod, inviting Yun Fan to sit with him and fish.
"I thought you would have to struggle for many years in the Divine Realm to achieve this, but your speed has far exceeded my expectations!"
Yun Fan smiled and replied, "It's just luck!"
"You are too modest; luck is often a part of strength!"
He said to Yun Fan, "As of now, you have been very successful, saving the God of Fire and the God of Water, and also killing the leaders of the Gods Alliance. However, the true powerhouses have not yet appeared, but for you, they will soon show themselves!"
"Why?"
Yun Fan asked, puzzled.
Wuming said, "The Heavenly Rules are in chaos, and the golden age has become a mere talk. Their seclusion is now useless, so they will emerge!"
Yun Fan gasped. Although he was invincible among the powerful figures, he was nothing in the eyes of the immortal powerhouses.
Therefore, he felt immense pressure.
But he couldn't be blamed for this. After all, among the known immortal beings, except for Goddess Nuwa who was his lover, the rest were all his enemies.
How much trouble had he caused ten thousand years ago! Yun Fan didn't want to say more; it was all tears.
At this moment, Yun Fan said, "Even if I am an enemy of all gods, I will not be afraid!"
It was impossible not to be afraid, but at this moment, his momentum and dignity had to be maintained.
Wuming said, "Although you haven't told me your purpose for coming here, I've already guessed it!"
"You're going to the mortal realm, aren't you?"
He asked Yun Fan.
Yun Fan nodded, "That's right, I'm going to the mortal realm!"
For Yun Fan, the Divine Realm was not his ultimate destination; the mortal realm was.
Wuming cautioned, "Then I advise you to give up this idea!"
"Why?"
Yun Fan asked, confused.
Wuming knew far more than he had anticipated.
"Because you are already a powerhouse at the giant level. If you go to the mortal realm, although you will not be bound by the rules, the mortal realm cannot withstand your divine power, and you will bring a devastating disaster to the mortal realm!"
Yun Fan's expression immediately changed. That was right; he had only considered himself and not other factors.
Now, with Wuming's reminder, he realized that he had almost harmed the mortal realm.
At this moment, he asked Wuming, "Senior, will the mortal realm be affected?"
"Yes!"
Wuming said directly, "The Divine Realm will be the most severely affected, but the mortal realm will also suffer some impact!"
"But you don't need to worry too much. The mortal realm has no divine beings who have reached the Great Dao, so the impact can be ignored!"
Yun Fan was instantly relieved. "Senior, does that mean I can never return to the mortal realm?"
For Yun Fan, this was unacceptable. His beloved in the mortal realm had accompanied him in his growth and rise, and he would not abandon any of his beloved relatives and friends.
Wuming said, "Not necessarily. With your strength, as long as you become an immortal, you will find a way!"
Hearing this, Yun Fan was relieved. For other powerhouses, this would be a difficult wish to fulfill.
Of the three pure ones who founded the mythological era, how many immortals were there even now? They were beings infinitely close to true immortals.
But for Yun Fan, it was negligible. Firstly, he was already an immortal-level powerhouse; his realm had only fallen because of his rebirth.
Secondly, he was very confident that he could break through to immortality in a short period, so for him, it was not an unattainable wish.
It was merely a temporary separation.
At this moment, he said to Yun Fan, "Since I've said what I needed to say, from today onwards, the Divine Realm doesn't need me to guard it. I'm leaving!"
Seeing this, Yun Fan immediately revealed his inner thoughts, "Senior, you are the King of the Underworld, aren't you!"
As soon as he said this, Wuming's fishing rod immediately fell into the water.
"How did you know?"
Yun Fan said, "Although I haven't seen your true form, I detected the same aura on you. You are not the King of the Underworld's true form, but you are the King of the Underworld!"
This was why he had chosen to give the King of the Underworld face back then, because he had discovered it the moment he sensed the aura.
Therefore, he dared to conclude that Wuming was the King of the Underworld, or rather, Wuming was a soul fragment of the King of the Underworld.
Wuming smiled, "You are very clever, just like back then!"
"Didn't we meet back then?"
Yun Fan was confused. This powerful King of the Underworld was ancient, existing after the Three Pure Ones, Goddess Nuwa, Pangu, and the Emperor.
He said, "Although we never met, we were actually making a common effort in certain aspects!"
"What effort?"
Yun Fan asked, confused.
"It seems you really don't remember. It's okay to tell you!"
Wuming said, "Repairing the Heavenly Rules!"
"But as it is now, the Heavenly Rules are completely chaotic, and no amount of repair will help. I didn't expect that tens of thousands of years of effort would ultimately be in vain!"
"Senior, if that's the case, why didn't you join forces with me ten thousand years ago?"
Yun Fan said, "If we had joined forces ten thousand years ago, perhaps we wouldn't have failed, and the Heavenly Rules could have been repaired!"
However, Wuming said, "It's not that simple. The Heavenly Rules are not easily repaired, but there was one person who ascended to immortality even when the Heavenly Rules were incomplete!"
Yun Fan knew who it was, his rebellious disciple Yao Xi.
At this moment, Wuming continued, "Also, you can think about it from another perspective. Perhaps your rebirth was part of your plan!"
"What?"
Yun Fan was startled. If it was indeed his plan, then he truly couldn't fathom what kind of existence he had been ten thousand years ago.
Moreover, what kind of plan would make him willing to pay such a heavy price, even willing to be reborn, to complete it.
At this moment, Wuming said, "Don't think too much. The stronger you become, the more you will understand. The Heavenly Rules are completely in disarray, and I need to return to my true form. From now on, there will be no Wuming, only the King of the Underworld!"
"Farewell, Senior!"
Yun Fan saw him off. In terms of seniority and age, calling him Senior was not an exaggeration.
Firstly, Wuming's age was more ancient than his own. Secondly, according to the memories of the Fifth Patriarch, even before he descended into this world, he was only a young and powerful existence; his age was not truly long.
He didn't know how strong the strongest powerhouses of the demonic path were!
At this moment, Wuming smiled, "Although our paths, and our Dao, are different, our outcomes are the same!"
"I await your reign over the world, when we will join hands again to complete the plan!"
"Okay!"
Yun Fan nodded. Although this day seemed distant, it was not too far away.
...
In a forbidden area of the Divine Realm, a huge crack suddenly erupted, and a god crawled out of it.
Looking at the chaotic Heavenly Rules and the broken divine order, he roared, "Why? Why has it become like this? Is there really no hope of becoming an immortal? But why can Yao Xi, and I cannot? Why?"
He attacked in frustration, instantly turning an area of a thousand miles into scorched earth. Then, he sensed the invasion of the Heavenly Rules.
The divine power within him was gradually absorbed by the Heavenly Rules, although the process was slow, and normally imperceptible.
However, if it went on for too long, for example, tens of thousands of years, his divine power would be completely absorbed by the Heavenly Rules, and at that time, he would fall into the mortal realm and no longer be a god.
He was unwilling. His current immortal realm was entirely due to his comprehension of the Heavenly Rules and his understanding of the divine laws that allowed him to break through.
Now, the Heavenly Rules and divine laws were trying to reclaim his power, how could he be willing? After all, becoming an immortal was his dream, and he absolutely could not see his path to immortality cut off.
"Has ten thousand years of waiting led to the inevitable failure of becoming an immortal? Why?"
He knelt on the ground in failure. Although in the eyes of the gods and the mortal realm, he was the supremely lofty Emperor.
But at this moment, in the face of the Heavenly Rules, he was so powerless. Although beings at the immortal level were invincible in the eyes of the gods and mortals, in the eyes of the Heavenly Rules, they were merely dispensable puppets, easily discarded.
"No, I absolutely cannot let my divine power be lost. I must devour the power of the gods to maintain my divine power. I don't believe there is no golden age! I don't believe it!"
With that, he swept towards the land of the gods. Since the Heavenly Rules had abandoned him, he would devour the power of the gods to fight against the Heavenly Rules, and the first target would be the Heavenly Demon Hall.
