Chapter 1269: Chapter 876: The Path of the Demigod

After the Three Corpses God fully took over the body and abilities of the Different Pupil, he began to reach out to the Different Pupil’s [Friends], that member of the Tianyan Association and strong practitioner of the Book of Heaven, the doctor.

He was a friend of the Different Pupil and the one who revealed the secrets of the Book of Heaven to the Different Pupil.

The Three Corpses God was very interested in the Book of Heaven.

After all, he learned from the Different Pupil’s memories that it was the intervention of the Book of Heaven that led to him being excavated by the Japanese and transported to Yanyun.

It took advantage of its own strength to eliminate Hua Country’s Extraordinary like Li Kun, and used this opportunity to develop itself. At the same time, it also plotted the ending of the Three Corpses God.

Back then, the Three Corpses God was a Celestial, and yet it could be intervened upon.

This made the Three Corpses God vigilant, of course, but even more so, curious.

He was already an expert at divining the Celestial Mechanism, but the predictive ability of the Book of Heaven seemed even more terrifying. It could plan over decades or even further.

It was an intervention on the level of cause and effect!

If he could control the Book of Heaven himself, he might be able to see even more.

This was also the bargaining chip proposed by the Three Corpses God. He had the ability to restart the Book of Heaven. If he could truly possess it, he might change the existence of that variable.

As for the Tianyan Association, which had used him, the Three Corpses God didn’t have much fondness for it.

However, collaborating with them at this moment was more beneficial.

The Three Corpses God understood the current world situation and its strengths from the memories of the Different Pupil.

Alone, he would likely accomplish little.

Meanwhile, within the secret base of the Tianyan Association, someone reported the information about the Three Corpses God.

"It seems the Different Pupil finally went to Yanyun. We already told him that after the variable appeared, the causality of the Book of Heaven would be in disarray. Going to Yanyun would yield no opportunities. Unexpectedly, he met the fate of being possessed."

"He was an inheritor of the Ghost Valley and naturally could not overcome the Three Corpses of the Ghost Valley. The Three Corpses God could obtain his Heavenly Road without any rejection. Indeed, the Three Corpses God, the nemesis of too many beings."

"Originally, he was supposed to use the Three Corpses God as a Symbiotic Body and obtain the Different Pupil Inheritance in this Catastrophe, embarking on the path to becoming a Demigod. Unfortunately... the presence of the variable has changed his destined fate. He has become a body possessed. Such a tragic end for the strong practitioner of the Book of Heaven, truly lamentable."

"The variable... Li Ba has already grown so strong. As the most powerful among those below Demigods, perhaps only a Demigod itself could kill him."

"That’s not appropriate. The General has already returned; deploying a Demigod would be a death wish."

"But below a Demigod, who else could be a match for the variable? Even the Bloodriders have died by his hand... And they were just one step away from Demigod status!"

"If we don’t kill the variable, how can we combat the Catastrophe of Chaos? With the variable emerging, the Celestial Mechanism is in turmoil. Our predictions have been disrupted."

"The Three Corpses God is in Yanyun, and as a Mirror Dweller, once the Mirror of Time and Space is suppressed, he will also vanish."

"He claims he can restart the Book of Heaven, could that be true?"

"His true form is Guiguzi, the most dazzling existence during the era of the Hundred Schools of Thought, unmatched in his divinations of the Celestial Mechanism. Perhaps he truly can restart the Book of Heaven."

"His request is to help him break free from the limitation of the Mirror of Time and Space and to help him kill a girl. He has divined that in the future the Different Pupil will be killed by a certain girl. Perhaps avoiding this causality is possible by killing her parents."

"Then let’s assist him before the Catastrophe descends. We must bring more strong beings to humanity before then. The Different Pupil has been possessed, but in exchange, we gain the Ghost Valley Three Corpses with an inheritance of a hundred Extraordinary traits. Perhaps it will be stronger!"

"But the location is in Yanyun, Li Ba might get involved in suppressing the Catastrophe."

"No matter, our plan isn’t part of the Book of Heaven to begin with. His unpredictable identity is of no use. Just avoid him, and presumably the Three Corpses God also won’t provoke Li Ba, he would rather stay away from someone who has killed him before."

"Speaking of which, is there no record in the Book of Heaven of the powerful beings that can kill a Different Pupil in the future?"

"It might be a genius who rose after the great calamity. The Book of Heaven does not contain records of changes after the calamity."

"Then, if possible, do not kill the girl’s parents. Take them away instead. Their daughter might also receive a better inheritance. The Three Corpses God fears that the girl will kill him in the future. If the girl is under our control, she might become a means to restrict the Three Corpses God."

"Select the elite, this time the Book of Heaven cannot protect them. If they succeed, there may still be hope for the Book of Heaven’s deductions. Si She, you go in person. Don’t let the Great Wall or Li Ba discover your identity."

"Alright. Leave it to me."

...

Meanwhile, in the private box, the ancestor finally spared Sword Brother after slicing a dozen pieces of beef with his sword.

Sword Brother stated that he was dirty, and was vigorously washed by his great nemesis sword master.

Li Luoling also came over to wipe off the grease stains for Sword Brother.

Sword Brother praised her skill as being superior to Wuji’s, which made Wuji’s face drop.

As the future Sword Master, Li Luoling had a relatively close relationship with Sword Brother, which made him somewhat smug.

"Indeed, my Sword Master is the best..."

The ancestor, however, paid no attention to Sword Brother’s provocation but asked Li Changhe, "Is it feasible to gather a throne through the convergence of a massive amount of faith from Believers?"

Li Changhe pondered and said, "Difficult, although I can draw human malice and produce Divinity, it’s unlikely to do so by the congregation of believers’ faith. I am also not suited to develop Believers."

Indeed, the trait of the Black Mud Divinity is to use humans as potential believers to supply Divinity. Even enemies will enhance Li Changhe’s Divinity with their malice.

But as for Believers... it might have to be Black Mud Sufferers. Currently, Li Changhe only has a total of two Believers.

One is Sword in Wine from the plot world, and the other is a Believer developed by the Crying Hero, Heavenly Principle’s Xu Zhi.

With only two Believers, one of whom is from the plot world, they could not possibly offer any help to Li Changhe.

Moreover, with such traits of Black Mud, it’s impossible to develop a large quantity of Believers. Not many can endure Black Mud.

"Then, how about Cutting Three Corpses, to reshape the true self?" the ancestor suggested after some thought.

"All three corpses are me, whether virtues or vices, they are my nature," Li Changhe shook his head. "That would be succeeding in becoming a Demigod, and then I’m no longer myself. I have not considered this method."

Indeed, if one were to cut down the Three Corpses, would the Demigod Li Changhe still be Li Changhe?

No, it would be a deity named Li Changhe, extremely ruthless, perhaps even colder than the Crying Hero. A Divinity without humanity... or perhaps Divinities should never possess humanity?

"Then to become a deity through merits is even more difficult. In the current environment, even if you save the entire world, there will be people who hate you. Moreover, this method can be influenced by the thoughts of all beings. It can change you into what they expect, which is even worse than Cutting Three Corpses..." the ancestor mused, "If you do not wish to cut off the Three Corpses, then you can only coexist. But coexistence prevents the pursuit of the true self and the accumulation of the throne. No wonder you could not succeed in the future... It’s clear that you have already tested these methods."

"You must use a method beyond all these. Perhaps you can... try uniting the Three Corpses."
