Ming Zhitian instantly arrived at the Myriad Universe Divine Light. He saw Emperor Qiangu, Thousand Demon Exhausted Devil, and Devil Emperor, the three great deities, wielding their respective divine artifacts, their immortal spiritual powers almost depleted, with only a thread of life remaining.
He looked at the shattered various spaces and the drifting fragments of stars, meteors, and broken planets, with galaxies scattered everywhere, in utter disarray.
Ming Zhitian felt a sense of chaos before him: "What on earth is this place?"
The three great deities, finding themselves powerless, had their three divine artifacts magnetically attracted together. The three streams of immortal spiritual power of different colors continued to clash. They could neither advance nor retreat, lest they suffer immediate backlash and lose all their cultivation!
Thousand Demon Exhausted Devil let out a sinister cold laugh: "Who would have thought a turning point would arrive. Emperor Qiangu, guess whether this little fellow will help you or me?"
Emperor Qiangu remained silent. Devil Emperor was the first to speak to Ming Zhitian: "Hey, little fellow, you've come at the right time. Come here, yes, pick up the sword and stab the heart of the man in white. This Devil Emperor will grant you inexhaustible cultivation resources, countless immortal mansions, and supreme treasures. Whatever you desire – women, wealth – this Emperor can give it to you."
"Indeed," Thousand Demon Exhausted Devil chimed in. "Little fellow, in addition to what Devil Emperor gives you, I, this Devil, will promise you three great wishes, no, five great wishes. Speak, tell me, what do you want? What do you need to do? The Saint Emperor above the Nine Heavens? The Heavenly Emperor who commands the heavens? Or the Thousand-Year Devil Emperor who rules the Demon Realm as the number one god? Or perhaps inherit all the cultivation of my Heavenly God Realm and become the Devil Soul Heavenly God who looks down upon all emperors in the world?"
It was extremely tempting; one would think no one could resist. If you ask me, don't promise three or five great wishes, just one wish: to become the strongest!
Even Emperor Qiangu wavered slightly. He was afraid that Ming Zhitian would actually agree. He quickly tried to awaken his conscience: "Boy! Don't agree! It's all fake! All fake!"
"Silence!" Devil Emperor rebuked him. "Old man Qiangu, you've lived for more than half your life and it's enough. Why can't you leave time for the young to shine? You're old, so step down. You've been sitting in this position for so long, doesn't your back hurt?"
This was entirely different. Emperor Qiangu glared at him: "Don't think of swaying my original intention with meaningless babbling. You demons should slumber for eternity, not come out to harm yourselves and others. Enough said, this Emperor believes he will make his own decision!"
"I will not help."
Thousand Demon Exhausted Devil was confused, not hearing clearly: "What?"
Ming Zhitian repeated: "I will not help."
Thousand Demon Exhausted Devil was enraged. With a look, he instantly drew a circle on the ground, creating a prison and trapping Ming Zhitian within. No matter how he used his magic, he could not break free, as the prison was immune.
Emperor Qiangu frowned: "You know the Eye of Different Pupils technique?"
Thousand Demon Exhausted Devil sneered gloomily: "I learned a few superficial tricks by chance."
He then turned to Ming Zhitian and said: "Today, you will help whether you want to or not. You have no choice; this is not a negotiation. Of course, the promises made by Thousand Demon Exhausted Devil and Devil Emperor earlier still stand."
Ming Zhitian shook his head helplessly: "I'm sorry, Elder Qian, I cannot help."
"You... know each other?" Devil Emperor was taken aback.
Emperor Qiangu said: "It's fine, it's fate."
Ming Zhitian sighed. He unconsciously grasped the bars of the magic prison and was suddenly struck by a purple lightning. Instinctively, he withdrew his hand.
However, by chance, he activated the "Longevity Art" within him. The black stone that had existed in the Longevity Sect since ancient times reacted. The two connected, then broke through the clouds, reaching the Myriad Universe Divine Light! Entering Ming Zhitian's body.
