Why did you provoke her? Even Heaven itself is afraid of her.

Lord Taishan noticed that Ling Yun looked wary.

He quickly waved his hand.

He smiled and explained, "Ancestor Lingyun, you've misunderstood."

Why would I let you die again? I just want to use my abilities to reshape a few souls.

Let them ascend with our consciousness.

In this way, having changed its identity and acquired new soul fluctuations, even the most astute Heavenly Dao would find it difficult to detect in a short time.

Upon hearing this, Ling Yun frowned slightly.

After a moment of contemplation, he said, "This method sounds feasible, but reshaping a soul is no easy task. If there is any mishap, not only will ascension be hopeless, but it may also implicate those innocent souls."

Lord Taishan patted his chest confidently.

"Ancestor Lingyun, rest assured, I am confident in my abilities. As long as you and I provide a portion of our consciousness imprints, I can integrate them into the new soul, ensuring that everything goes smoothly."

After careful consideration, Ling Yun finally nodded.

"Alright, there's no better way right now, so we'll do as you say. But we must be extremely careful about this. Once we successfully ascend, we need to find those three ancient artifacts as soon as possible."

Just do it.

The Lord of Mount Tai immediately used his supernatural powers to summon a few strands of pure soul power from the ancient god's mausoleum.

He quickly formed seals with his hands and muttered something.

Under his control, those wisps of soul power gradually coalesced into a human form.

As agreed, Ling Yun carefully imprinted a portion of his consciousness into one of the souls, and the Lord of Mount Tai and the Goddess Houtu followed suit.

After all this was done, the souls that had acquired their consciousness slowly opened their eyes.

Ling Yun specifically instructed them, "Remember, from now on, you are new cultivators. Forget everything before, and only carry the mission we have given you as you ascend to the realm of gods."

"Yes, Master Lingyun."

Afterwards, Ling Yun led everyone away from the Land of Death to find a suitable realm for ascension.

After some investigation, Lingyun and Lord Taishan finally found a realm rich in spiritual energy and teeming with cultivators.

The galactic boundary.

In this realm, Ling Yun and Lord Taishan disguised themselves as ordinary cultivator mentors, secretly guiding the cultivation of those "new cultivators" who carried their consciousness.

After a period of diligent training, these cultivators' strength improved significantly, and they finally met the standards for ascension.

On the day of ascension, dark clouds filled the sky, and bolts of tribulation lightning rolled down.

The cultivators remained calm and methodically dealt with the heavenly tribulation.

With the secret assistance of Lingyun and the Lord of Mount Tai, they successfully survived the heavenly tribulation, transformed into several streams of light, and ascended towards the realm of gods.

Lingyun and the Lord of Mount Tai watched the direction they left in, their hearts filled with both trepidation and anticipation.

Ling Yun said in a low voice, "I hope they can successfully deceive the Heavenly Dao. We should also be prepared to support them at any time."

And at this time.

In a magnificent palace in the realm of the gods.

Heaven sits regally on its throne.

His brow furrowed slightly, a vague sense of unease creeping into his heart.

"Strange, I have a feeling that something is about to happen lately. Could it be that those two old guys, Ling Yun and Lord Taishan, are up to something again?"

The Heavenly Dao murmured to itself.

He immediately used his supernatural powers to try and see what was happening in the lower realm.

But he found that his senses seemed to be blocked by an invisible force.

It was impossible to ascertain the true identities of those ascendants.

"Hmph, it seems someone is deliberately hiding something. I'd like to see who has the audacity."

A cold glint flashed in Tiandao's eyes, and he resolved to get to the bottom of this matter.

Then there are those cultivators who carry the consciousness of Lingyun and the Lord of Mount Tai.

After successfully ascending to the realm of gods, they did not immediately reveal their identities, but instead carefully hid among the crowd.

They inquired everywhere about the whereabouts of the Star Sword, the Chaos Shield, and the Key of Time.

After a period of searching, they finally found clues about the three magical artifacts.

The Star Sword is sealed in a mysterious Star Tower, which is filled with powerful restrictions and guardian beasts.

The Shield of Chaos is held by a reclusive ancient powerhouse, whose strength is said to be unfathomable, no less than that of the ancient gods of the primordial era, and who rarely meets with others.

The whereabouts of the Key of Time is the most mysterious.

All that is known is that it is related to an ancient temple of time, but the exact location of the temple remains unknown.

Upon learning this news, Lingyun and the Lord of Mount Tai fell into deep thought.

Ling Yun said, "These three divine artifacts are extremely difficult to obtain, so we must plan this carefully."

Lord Taishan nodded: "That's right. We might still be able to find a way to deal with the restrictions and guardian beasts of the Star Tower, but we must be cautious about the ancient powerhouse who wields the Chaos Shield. As for the Key of Time, we still need to continue searching for more clues."

Just as they were discussing it.

Sudden.

A huge crack appeared in the sky, and a powerful force surged out from it.

Ling Yun and Lord Taishan's expressions changed drastically. They sensed that this power came from the Creator.

"Oh no! The Creator has noticed our actions and is about to intervene to stop us."

Ling Yun said anxiously.

really.

A moment later, the figure of the Creator appeared in the crack.

He looked down at Ling Yun and the Lord of Mount Tai, a mocking smile on his face.

"You think you can fool me by changing your identity? You're too naive. Today, none of you will leave here alive."

As he spoke, the Creator waved his hands, and countless streams of black power surged toward Ling Yun and Lord Taishan like a raging tide.

Lingyun and the Lord of Mount Tai dared not be negligent and immediately used their divine power to resist with all their might.

In an instant, the divine realm was filled with flashes of light and deafening explosions as the two sides engaged in a fierce battle.

During the battle, Ling Yun suddenly discovered that the Creator's power seemed to be weaker than before.

A thought struck her: this might be an opportunity for them.

Ling Yun shouted, "Lord Taishan, the Creator's injuries seem to have worsened. We cannot let this opportunity pass us by; we must find a way to break through his defenses."

The Lord of Mount Tai nodded, and the two exchanged a glance, understanding each other perfectly.

They simultaneously channeled all their divine power and unleashed their strongest moves.

A radiant longsword appeared in Ling Yun's hand. She wielded the sword with the force of a rainbow piercing the sun, attacking the Creator.

The Lord of Mount Tai then clasped his hands together and muttered incantations.

Subsequently.

Nine enormous, dark purple dragons flew out from within his dragon robe, their gaping maws lunging to devour the Creator.

Under the combined attack of the two, the Creator's defenses gradually began to show weaknesses.

His face grew increasingly pale, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Hmph, you think you can defeat me like this? You're overestimating yourselves."
