In Love Apartment, I used a cheat to develop the Multiverse Gate.

For a time, the two sides fought fiercely, but in the end, they became evenly matched.

In order to win, the ability user who controlled half of the empire began to fabricate myths, hoping to use the power of will to create the fruit power of a god.

Thus, there came to be Natural-type and Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruits, such as those of the Sun God, Earth God, Sea God, Fire God, and Dark God.

However, the result was not so good. Although natural abilities and mythical beast abilities appeared, they were still far from being gods, and many were even very different from the original divine beasts.

However, the Devil Fruits have become so ubiquitous that even some people from the Empire have started eating them. After all, compared to training one's body and cultivating Haki, Devil Fruit abilities make one much stronger—simply eating a fruit grants that power.

Eventually, more and more people began to accept the fruits of their labor, and the empire could only hold onto its last remaining territory, Laugh Tale.

However, after conquering the world, they established a world government. The world government leaders discovered that as more and more fruits appeared, faith was dwindling.

Meanwhile, ordinary people also noticed that some Devil Fruit users had drastically changed their personalities, as if their bodies had been taken over by demons. As a result, everyone became alert and started calling the fruits "Devil Fruits".

It means that there is a demon inside the fruit. Although eating it will grant you power, you will also be possessed by the demon. It's like signing a contract to sell your soul to the demon in exchange for power. When the time comes, your body will be taken over by the demon.

Because this secret was discovered, some people began to avoid Devil Fruits altogether, and even if they obtained a fruit, they would throw it into the sea.

In a short time, the world government's top officials also noticed that the power of will was beginning to decrease, and was becoming increasingly scarce.

So they forced those people to believe, but this forced will was naturally not pure enough, and even carried resentment. Even the fruits that were produced as a result were some incomplete abilities.

So Im and the others came up with a solution: people only believe in gods with utmost devotion when they are in despair.

So the World Government began to oppress its people. At first, the effect was indeed amazing. A continuous stream of willpower was rapidly generating fruits, and some fruits with weaker abilities were transformed into stronger ones.

However, with prolonged oppression and no hope in sight, some people became disheartened and began to doubt God's existence, which naturally diminished their resolve.

Furthermore, due to environmental changes and the influence of willpower, many sub-species of humans emerged during this period, such as dwarfs, giants, and fish-men.

Many of them even used technology left behind by the moon people to change themselves; some wanted to escape, while others wanted to fight against the world government.

The world government was naturally not afraid of them and forcefully suppressed them.

However, the World Government discovered that although all resistance had been suppressed, the power of will had been greatly reduced.

So the higher-ups discussed it again, and that was to give them hope. As long as there was hope, especially when there was no way out, leading them to overthrow the oppressors would naturally bring them a lot of pure willpower.

This meant they had to do it one at a time. Eventually, the sun god Joy Boy became the first, and once he truly became the sun god, others would take his place.

Thus, the drama officially begins, with the Sun God leading the twenty kings in a rebellion against the World Government, overthrowing it, and finally establishing a new World Government.

Of course, in the end, the sun god will also hide away, leaving behind some secret prophecies, such as the sun god leading various races to overthrow darkness.

To ensure that these messages would not go unnoticed, they even left behind bait, such as Poneglyphs and specific countries, like Alabasta and Wano Country.

Otherwise, given the World Government's capabilities to erase a hundred years of history, wouldn't they be unaware of those historical texts?

Especially Wano Country, let alone the World Government, even the Navy could easily deal with them. Why haven't they been touched for hundreds of years? It's because they left behind bait to guide people to find the "hidden" historical truth.

When everyone in this world can no longer endure the oppression, the sun god Joy Boy will lead them to defeat the world government and establish a new government, thus directly placing Joy Boy on the throne of the sun god.

"So all of this is actually a play directed by you."

“That’s right. This time it’s the sun god Joy Boy, and next time it will be another god. Even if you overthrow the world government, someone will still start this plan again decades later, and we will still be resurrected all over the world.”

Im looked at Dragon and Sengoku with disdain. He already knew about their plans, and much of it was revealed to them by the Five Elders. They even had people in the Revolutionary Army now.

"It's a pity you ran into us. Once we eliminate you and that Heavenly King's machine, none of this will happen again."

Zhang Yu glanced at the arrogant Im and curled his lip in disdain. Im's idea was good, but unfortunately he didn't know that becoming a god in this way was actually similar to becoming a bound spirit. They could only be gods on this planet. Once they left this planet, they would lose their powers, and the farther away they were, the weaker they became.

Moreover, as the planet weakens, their strength also diminishes, and they may eventually perish along with the planet.

Before he could answer, Zhang Yu clenched his fist, and Joy Boy and the souls inside those Devil Fruits were all pulled out, then quickly scattered into specks of light.

However, Im recovered again to Zhang Yu's and the others' astonishment.

Seeing this, Zhang Yu looked at him in disbelief. His soul had clearly been annihilated, so how could it possibly be restored? Meanwhile, Im laughed arrogantly once again.

"Hahaha, it's useless. I am immortal. Even a god cannot kill me."

Seeing this, Hu Yifei and Zi Qiao, along with everyone else from Love Apartment, frowned. They didn't believe Im's words about immortality.

Apart from the Great Luo Golden Immortals who have transcended the river of time, all others can be eliminated; it's just that we haven't found a way to do so.

The people in Love Apartment have high standards, so they don't believe what Im says, but Sengoku and the others don't know that.

Seeing that Zhang Yu couldn't do anything to Im, they all thought Im was truly immortal, and their expressions turned grim.

Especially when he saw Zhang Yu angrily kill Im multiple times, even tearing his soul apart and shattering it into pieces, he would quickly recover.

There was even a hint of despair in the eyes of Sengoku and the others. If Im didn't die, and Zhang Yu and the others left, then no one would be able to stop Im, and the world would fall into Im's hands again.

"You're really afraid of dying, aren't you?"

Unlike the Warring States period, Zhang Yu seemed not to believe Im's words, and in a fit of rage, he killed Im more than ten times.

In fact, Zhang Yu was killing Im multiple times to confirm Im's condition. He had been observing how Im was able to quickly recover each time his soul was annihilated.

Zhang Yu quickly discovered Im's secret of "immortality." Indeed, in some respects, Im was truly immortal.

Because over the years, Im has completely bound himself to this planet. In the parlance of cultivation novels, that would be to say that he has merged his soul essence into the Heavenly Dao, although he is not that advanced.

To put it simply, he ascended to Gaia as a Heroic Spirit. However, due to his Devil Fruit powers, Gaia was suppressed by him, allowing him to come and go freely.

In other words, as long as the planet exists, Im cannot be killed; similarly, if Zhang Yu destroys the planet, Im will surely die.

Of course, Zhang Yu wouldn't destroy the planet inhumanely just to kill Im, but he had other options. Since he couldn't kill him, he decided not to. Sometimes, death is the greatest relief.

Seeing that even Zhang Yu, who had already become a god, was helpless against him, Im became arrogant again.

Before he could speak, Zhang Yu restrained him again, and with a wave of his hand, a five-colored altar rose from the ground, covered with countless runes.

At the same time, steps appeared in front of the altar, extending continuously in four directions.

At the same time, four physical swords and four invisible, illusory swords appeared on either side of the altar.

Zhang Yu grabbed the imprisoned Im and headed towards the altar. Im couldn't understand Zhang Yu's intentions, but an ominous premonition grew in his heart.

Although he was going upwards, he felt as if he were falling into an abyss. However, he was imprisoned by Zhang Yu and could neither move nor beg for mercy.

Zhang Yu threw Im in the middle of the altar, making him kneel in worship.

Meanwhile, the runes on the altar had already covered Im's body when Im touched the altar.

Sensing that Zhang Yu's restraints had been lifted, Im wanted to escape immediately, but a chain formed of runes appeared out of thin air, piercing Im's collarbone and limbs, locking him tightly and pulling him back to the altar to kneel.

Feeling intense pain in his body, Im, filled with unease, questioned Zhang Yu in a panic.

"what have you done."

"It's just to make you atone for your sins."

"Your energy will eventually dissipate, and I will still be able to leave then."

Im continued to roar at Zhang Yu, unwilling to give up. He knew that Zhang Yu must have some tricks up his sleeve, so he was just putting on a brave front and trying to comfort himself.

"This is not my energy, it is the energy of this planet. You have stolen the laws and energy of this planet. In the eyes of this planet, you are a thief, so it will imprison you until you have no connection with this planet anymore."

After saying that, Zhang Yu turned and left, leaving Im with only his powerless roar. Of course, there was one thing Zhang Yu didn't say: Im was already bound to this planet, so only if the planet was destroyed would he remain on this altar forever.

After Zhang Yu came down, Zhan Guo and Dorag quickly went forward, wanting to know what was going on, as they were also afraid that Im might escape.

"I've trapped him with my abilities. Anyone can come up the stairs and kill him if they want. Those four stairs connect all the islands in this world, right up until he's truly killed. By the way, you can only go up to the altar during the day; it's for others at night."

Zhang Yu's four illusory swords were prepared for the vengeful spirits who died tragically. Although the dead in this world went to the underworld, Zhang Yu had just communicated with Gaia and set up the gates of the underworld to open at night, so that the souls could come up and kill Im.

"Okay, we will inform everyone."

Upon hearing Zhang Yu say that Im could be killed, Sengoku and the others were completely relieved and were already planning how to tell everyone in the world.

"No need. We started a global live stream when we came up, and now everyone in the world knows."

Zhang Yu gave the group a meaningful look, then left with the Love Apartment crew.

"This is the machine that can create Devil Fruits?"

Meijia looked at the machine in front of her with some suspicion. It looked like a production machine in an ordinary factory, and a small one at that.

Dali kept testing the machine, and even wanted to take it apart.

"Not only can they create Devil Fruits, but they can also possess and regenerate bodies. Otherwise, why do you think they keep those Celestial Dragons? It's all for the purpose of possessing bodies that have their genes intact."

Zhang Yu waved his hand and put the machine away. "Let's go. We'll study it slowly when we get back."

Dali put away his notebook without saying anything more.

The others stepped into the portal without hesitation, eager to leave and return to Love Apartment for the first time.
