I tricked you into thinking you had the makings of an emperor, but you actually did it?

Baiyujing, Tongtianlou.

From a distance, the Tower of Babel resembles an ancient pillar pointing straight to the sky.

Its exterior walls are carved from countless crystal-clear white jade pieces, shimmering with a pure light.

Inside the building, the air was crisp and clear, filled with an indescribable pressure, as if time and space had frozen in this place.

Each level of space is like an independent world, progressing layer by layer with extraordinary charm. The higher you go, the more dazzling the light becomes, and the more stable the atmosphere becomes.

The rooftop is shrouded in mist year-round, with palaces layered and staggered within the mist, and twelve figures can be vaguely seen.

In the previous era, there were twelve immortals in the Tower of Heaven, who were the twelve disciples of the sect leader.

To this day, the Tower of Heaven retains twelve seats, which represent the supreme power and status of the nine sects of the human race.

Even among Dao Lords, there are varying degrees of strength. Those who can sit in the twelve seats are all at the level of Great Luo Dao Lords, clad in celestial robes, possessing a steady Daoist aura and an aura that can swallow mountains and rivers.

At this very moment, the twelve Great Luo Dao Masters are gathered here, still discussing the events that have occurred in the Tianqi Mountains.

The Crimson Light Dao Lord and the other Dao Lords were also present. In front of the Great Luo Dao Lord, they would all humbly refer to themselves as Junior Dao Lords.

The Lord of the Crimson Light Sect was very eager to send the Tongtian Tower to the Demon Court to demand the release of the people.

"Chi Guang, Shen Ming is a disciple of my Taihao Sect. Are you more concerned about him than I am the sect leader?"

The Taihao Sect Leader was also present and expressed some dissatisfaction with Chi Guang's performance.

"The Taihao Sect has such a prodigy, and you're not even a little bit enthusiastic?" the Crimson Light Daoist Master retorted.

"Although he is a disciple of my Taihao Sect, he has never actually been to the Taihao Sect. My Taihao Sect knows very little about him and is wary of us. If he had said earlier that he had mastered the Origin Divine Path, why would we have needed him to go to the Tianqi Mountains to obtain the Soil of All Things?" The Taihao Sect Leader's words revealed his dissatisfaction.

"You're saying all this because you represent the Qi Sect, aren't you?" the Crimson Light Dao Master said with displeasure.

"Then who do you represent?" the Taihao Sect Leader countered.

The Crimson Light Daoist Master was momentarily at a loss for words.

"All right."

A Grand Dao Master spoke up, stopping the pointless argument.

"Red Light, we can't defeat the Demon Court. It's already good enough if we can protect ourselves, let alone run to the Demon Court to demand people."

Moreover, his appearance allowed the Demon Court to obtain the Origin Divine Path, and the Demon Race's pursuit of the unique Moon will be a catastrophic disaster for the nine sects of our Human Race. The Great Luo Dao Master's words contained a sense of reproach.

"Uncle-Master, this can't be blamed on anyone else," said the Crimson Light Daoist Master helplessly.

"Then who should we blame?"

The Crimson Light Daoist was speechless, not knowing what to say.

"Fortunately, our human race still has a glimmer of hope. By contacting our ancestors, our human race can compete for the title of Emperor and gain the recognition of Baiyujing." A Grand Luo Dao Master was filled with relief and excitement.

"Ancestor?!"

Everyone was moved by these words and stopped discussing Shen Ming.

"Yes, it appeared along with the one that previously alarmed the entire Jade Capital. It was one of our patriarchs of the Heavenly Tower!" said the Great Luo Dao Master.

Hearing this, everyone was overjoyed. They all knew that a terrifying being had suddenly descended some time ago, shaking the entire Demon Court.

They all looked at the Great Luo Dao Master who was speaking, some wanting to witness the ancestor's demeanor firsthand.

"Our patriarch is in a mysterious state and can only utter a few words, mentioning only the terms 'Emperor' and 'fragments of the world.'" The Great Luo Dao Master was both regretful and excited.

This gives them the confidence to compete with the Demon Court for the throne!

……

Shen Ming soon saw Yao Yao again and sensed the Demon Court's eagerness for the power of Taiyin.

“The Temple of the Sun God was once the supreme Daoist temple and holy site of Baiyujing, a place where immortal masters imparted their teachings. We don’t want the original runes, but rather to listen to your teachings,” Yaoyao said.

"I will preach in person?"

Shen Ming was somewhat confused. His plan was to make a copy of the original runes of the unique primordial divine path.

On second thought, he realized that the demon race lacked trust in him and was afraid of tampering with the original runes.

For example, if it's half true and half false, then you can still claim that the demon race's comprehension is different from that of the human race.

The Temple of the Sun is a sacred place for the human race, possessing supreme significance. It was also the place where every human immortal master preached in the previous era.

Within the temple, the rules of heaven and earth exist, and one cannot falsify them.

“Back when the Heavenly Court still existed, the immortal master of the Sun Temple advocated education for all, not just humans, but all other races could learn the Dao. The rules applied to us all. In the temple, we could reach an agreement before we began,” Yao Yao said.

"How long should I continue? What if some of the demons have poor comprehension?" Shen Ming asked.

"The first demon to master the power of Yin will be finished. Don't worry about wasting time. In the Temple of the Sun, you can learn the divine methods of the power of the sun," Yao Yao said.

Shen Ming's eyes lit up. As a single source of divinity, the power of Taiyin could not fully unleash his advantages.

Therefore, the power of the sun as a complement is also one of his plans and goals.

However, the sun cannot ascend like the moon. After the end of the Heavenly Court era, the original divine way of the sun has long been lost.

"We can also make a bet: will you master the power of the sun first, or will we master the power of the moon first?" Yao Yao said with a light laugh.

"Judging from your words, someone in your demon race has already mastered the power of the sun?"

Shen Ming was quite tempted. If the Temple of the Sun really had this function, then the trip would not have been in vain.

"This is a secret, but I can tell you that someone has mastered the divine way."

Yao Yao smiled gently.

She has a deep understanding of human nature and knows that some lies cannot be told outright, but rather must be guided to lead others to think in that direction.

The Temple of the Sun does indeed possess divine methods, but even the Four Great Demon Emperors could not cultivate them.

According to one of the demon emperors, the divine laws are complete, but have become ineffective.

It sounds contradictory; if it's complete, how can it be invalid?

It turns out that this divine method can be mastered, and one can clearly feel the progress made; the problem is that it cannot be traced back to the sun.

To be precise, the sun will not respond.

This is quite awkward, because the way of the gods is to trace back to the gods, but the gods don't pay any attention to it.

The higher-ups of the Demon Court have a theory: the sun of this era is not the same as the sun of the previous era.

Or rather, the sun god is not the same one, so the divine methods of the previous era are naturally useless.

Yao Yao has been hinting that the divine path can be mastered, but she hasn't said that one can obtain the power of the sun god.

She's not lying.

Judging from Shen Ming's reaction, he was already very tempted, his face full of anticipation.

"This is a case of turning misfortune into blessing."

Shen Ming sighed. Falling into the hands of the Demon Court had not resulted in any loss; on the contrary, it had brought him a great deal of gains.

"You agreed?" Yao Yao asked.

"If that's the case, then let's begin." Shen Ming couldn't think of a reason to refuse.

Yao Yao beamed with joy and immediately went out with the good news.

"It doesn't matter."
