The Quest for Immortality

Yu Er stood at the node representing the Divine Authority Tree of the Great Wilderness Evil God...

This signifies that Yu Er is extremely important within the divine system of the Great Wilderness Evil God, and even a critical part of a grand scheme of the Evil God.

However, Mo Hua did not quite understand.

”Yu Er is just a child, what about him exactly makes him coveted by the Great Wilderness Evil God?”

Spiritual Root?

Yu Er does indeed have a good Spiritual Root, but in the Qianxue State Boundary, geniuses abound, and there are other cultivators like Yu Er with good Spiritual Roots.

Why does the Great Wilderness Evil God specifically target Yu Er and place him at the node of his Divine Authority Tree?

Could it be because of... Divine Fetus?

Does Yu Er have a special Divine Sense talent, qualifying him as a Divine Fetus?

But what exactly is a Divine Fetus?

Why is it specifically Yu Er?

Mo Hua’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Whatever the reason, Yu Er must not be allowed to come to harm.

Aunt Wan has been so kind to him, and Yu Er considers him a big brother, always thinking of him when something good happens; such a kind-hearted child cannot be allowed to face any misfortune.

And the Great Wilderness Evil God...

Mo Hua has already secretly ”eaten” quite a bit of its family’s wealth.

There were Demon Monsters, Evil Spirits, as well as origins of the Evil God.

Furthermore, several of its plans were thwarted.

He had killed its minions, blown up its Demon Palace, demolished its altar, consumed its Divine Remains, and absorbed its Divine Marrow.

Now, sitting atop its altar, he was stealthily seizing its authority...

Even Mo Hua felt that he might have gone too far.

So, in terms of the Evil God of the Great Wilderness, it could be said that he has committed ”numerous wicked acts”...

Even if the Great Wilderness Evil God were a greatly benevolent deity who had cultivated for a hundred lifetimes, it might not let him off, let alone since it is a bloodthirsty, vengeful Evil God.

But after all, the Great Wilderness Evil God slaughters cultivators, nurtures minions, refines Demon Monsters, drives out Evil Spirits, and defiles deities; it is not anything good in itself.

Mo Hua felt no moral burden.

And the way of Divine Thought is just like this.

If he does not consume the Evil God, the Evil God would eventually consume him.

To endure for a moment is to be unsure of life and death.

To step back is to face eternal damnation.

Since he has already started, he must continue to ”eat” to the end!

Mo Hua resolutely told himself in his heart.

Of course, it is necessary to be cautious when the time comes, to hide when necessary, and it would be best to hide in the shadows and never let the Master of the Great Wilderness find out.

After all, he’s merely a Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Realm; he couldn’t afford to provoke such a mighty Evil God.

Mo Hua looked again at Yu Er’s node.

The node was bright but seemed to be under some blockage, dimmed, and even faintly imbued with an ancient Sword Intent.

This Sword Intent was something Mo Hua might not have been able to perceive before.

Now that he had just learned the basics of Divine Thought into Sword, he could perceive it clearly.

Mo Hua speculated that this was likely due to Taixu Gate.

Taixu Gate, with its long heritage and profound foundation, surely had some ancient ancestors protecting the Mountain Gate.

By joining Taixu Gate, Yu Er was also under the protection of these ancient ancestors.

Of course, this was Mo Hua’s guess.

He didn’t know which ancestors were in the Sect.

The ancestors tended to stay reclusive and their depths were unfathomable.

As a little disciple of Taixu, from the moment he entered the Mountain Gate until he graduated from Taixu Gate, he might never be able to see the true faces of these ancestors.

Apart from the Sword Intent, there was another ”protective” aura around Yu Er.

This aura, weak and elusive.

Mo Hua sensed it and found that this aura was his own, so he directly ignored it.

Afterwards, Mo Hua further studied the Divine Authority Tree.

Considering Yu Er’s experience, Mo Hua had a rough understanding of this tree, which symbolizes the authority of deities.

The authority of the Great Wilderness Evil God might be related to ”dreams”.

Weaving nightmares, invading dreamlands.

Dreamlands are bridges for Divine Sense communication.

He did not know whether this was a special authority of the Master of the Great Wilderness or if all Evil Gods used ”dreamlands” as a medium for Divine Power.

Nodes on the Divine Authority Tree are each a ”dreamland”.

But dreamlands are extensions of Divine Thought.

Divine Thought creates reality.

So each node corresponds to a specific dreamland, which corresponds to specific, real-life altars and the Divine Temples or Taoist Fields that worship these altars.

In simple terms, they are similar to Evil God strongholds like fishing villages.

But among all nodes, only Yu Er is an exception.

He is not an Evil God stronghold, but just a simple child.

”Is there any way to save Yu Er once and for all?”

Mo Hua pondered in his heart.

”Destroy the node? Remove the authority of the Divine Authority Tree, get rid of the ’path’, so the Demon Monsters can’t find their way and will never invade Yu Er’s nightmares again, and Yu Er can sleep well forever after...”

”But... how to destroy it?”

Mo Hua tried to communicate with the Divine Authority Tree, using the authority of the deity, but found it didn’t work.

His authority was not great enough, far from being able to modify the Divine Authority Tree, change the nodes of the Divine Authority, or alter the permissions at the end-point.

Let alone destroy the node through authority.

He could only ”use” it, but not ”change” or ”destroy” it.

This was a bit tricky...

Mo Hua frowned in thought, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

If he couldn’t change or destroy the node, and couldn’t directly save Yu Er...

Why not reverse the strategy?

Directly use the authority to command the Demon Monsters to invade Yu Er’s dreamland?

Then stay by Yu Er’s side, waiting for these Demon Monsters to come?

Mo Hua’s beautiful eyes sparkled brightly.

In this way, he could weaken the power of the Evil God and relieve the pressure of Yu Er’s nightmares.

At the same time, he could have a feast, filling the gap needed for his Divine Sense to advance to the Seventeen Patterns.

Perhaps even surpass Seventeen Patterns?
