Jiucai Rong was quite shrewd.

He couldn't fight, but he was cunning.

All the way as the Gale Emperor, he wouldn't take on cultivators of the same tier; instead, he ambushed some ancient cultivators from the Three Elements Realm, Two-Phase Realm, and One Heart Realm.

He only targeted those with similar obsessions.

Gale Emperor's obsession was quite unique: to become the strongest by any means necessary.

This obsession was relatively common, and as he walked a path, he attracted and absorbed some similar ones through the mysterious pull between obsessions.

Gradually, his obsession grew stronger, about to reach a critical point.

On the second morning after absorbing the 137th Ember, Jiucai Rong awakened.

He experienced a demonic transformation and became the Demon Ghost King.

This was also a kind of mad Ghost King, without consciousness or self.

But after absorbing Xian's original flesh and blood, he would tend towards peace and completely awaken as a new life.

"Refreshing."

At this moment, Jiucai Rong lamented, "This way of awakening as a Ghost King is at least a hundred times easier than before."

What a pity.

This method of awakening had its limits.

The expenditure on the Ancestor was too great.

A single tomb couldn't produce several Ancestor Demon Gods.

Fortunately, this was the era of the Divine Statue Dynasty, with a remarkable number.

It's said to be the first in terms of the number of Human Race Imperial Mausoleums, even the largest tomb in the entire history of the Nine-State Four Seas!

"Feels like we could cobble together a few more replica Ancestor Demon Gods here."

Jiucai Rong took a deep breath, "But now that I've become a Ghost King, it's time to get down to the serious business."

He formally began to act, launching attacks on other imperial cities, ambushing an ancient Great Emperor from the Self-Transformation Realm.

"Gale, is that you?"

"It's me, Cyan Flame Emperor, I've come to take a walk and have a chat."

"Wait, why does it seem like there's something off about the way you look, your smile is kinda eerie."

"What's the matter?"

"Well, it's just that with the same aura, the same physique and appearance, it gives off a terrifying unfamiliarity."

"Hahaha, the way you put it, it reminds me of the information we got outside the tomb, pseudo-human! Are you trying to say I've been possessed by a pseudo-human?"

"How is that possible? Although we were surprised to know we were pseudo-humans, how could a pseudo-human possess one of their own, right, hahaha! Besides, our tomb is completely sealed, no pseudo-human can get in~"

"Ah!"

With a scream of agony, the Gale Emperor launched a sneak attack and crippled this weak ancient Great Emperor from the Self-Transformation Realm, then went on a frenzied assault.

"So weak, so weak, so weak!!"

"To think I could kill you all with pure combat power; I've finally defeated the first of my same tier!"

"Hahahaha! Come be my child!"

Jiucai Rong burst into laughter.

"What do you mean be your child, are you insane?"

"I'm not insane, I'm already that Mother's Spirit Root! And with you having an Infant Spirit Root implanted, we can connect!"

"???"

"Come on, be my child, I'm already impatient to shrink you into an infant and bring you back to my warm embrace!"

"Help! Help! The Gale Emperor has gone mad; he's lost his mind!"

Once he was severely beaten and couldn't resist, Jiucai Rong took out the Beast Taming Bag, retrieved a plump pseudo-human Three Flowers prepared in advance, and stuffed it into his mouth.

In no time, the Cyan Flame Emperor had been fully possessed.

"How does it feel?" Jiucai Rong asked.

"It's okay." The Mudworker nodded.

The Mudworker's spiritual root was:

Yin attribute [Mask].

Yang attribute Celestial Spirit Root [Nine Infant], one of the infants, can connect with the mother.

This spirit root was cultivated from the infant they produced.

However.

This is a weakened version of the Mother of Non-Life and her infants.

A counterfeit.

But the blacksmiths didn't mind.

Because the authentic version isn't ready yet, and the {authentic} Mother of Non-Life's location is unknown, those infants that are prepared for possession {authentic} are still practicing their moves inside the mother.

Better to play with a counterfeit mother-child divine technique and gain some experience.

"Very good, Mudworker! I am now the Mother's Spirit Root, and you are the Infant Spirit Root... Come, let's unite." Jiucai Rong was eager to try, "Come be my child."

The Mudworker looked grim, but still chose to give it a try.

With a swoosh.

Jiucai Rong's belly suddenly grew an umbilical cord, connecting with the Mudworker.

Then the Cyan Flame Emperor controlled by the Mudworker shrunk frantically, becoming an Infant Emperor, and was drawn into the abdomen of the Gale Emperor controlled by Jiucai Rong.

The scene was as bizarre as could be.

Hahahaha!

Jiucai Rong chuckled, finding it truly amusing.

"How does it feel? Let's call it the aircraft carrier... I'm the aircraft carrier, and you mechas dock on my belly."

Mudworker: "..."

Your joy is built on the pain of us being your children, I don't want to be your accessory, and I certainly don't want to be your child to fight for you, you damned capitalist, exploiting nine kids to work for you!

"This spiritual root is naturally fated for me." Jiucai Rong felt very happy, this was the way to unlock the replicant's potential.

Now is the era of the Immortal Spirit Root, with two Yin Yang Spirit Roots, one is a fixed replicant Yin Spirit Root, the other Yang Spirit Root... they chose No-Life Sect: mother-child connected spiritual root.

Thus, using the divine technique of the Yang Spirit Root, one mother and nine children are connected as one, and the Yin Spirit Root's divine technique can even randomly replicate others... just thinking about it is disgusting.

Soon, Jiucai Rong and the Mudworker studied for a while until night fell.

"Time to log out."

"Yeah, let's discuss this tomorrow."

...

Soon, the two separated from their fused state and logged out.

The Gale Emperor and Cyan Flame Emperor's Embers Void Bubble logic, without the influence of possession, immediately returned to normal, looking at each other in the room.

"What were we just doing?"

"Why does it feel a bit creepy?"

"What happened? I inexplicably feel that we two have a subtle connection, wanting to merge together?"

"Why do I feel like you seem quite... inviting."

They looked at each other, sensing something dreadful had happened, yet before they could investigate their strange bodies.

The next morning, Jiucai Rong and the Mudworker logged in again.

"Let's split up our forces."

"Yes, we need to hurry, each taking on one."

"No problem."

...

That evening.

Jiucai Rong and his nine sons successfully logged in.

"Very good, fully awaken and merge with me." Jiucai Rong was very pleased, seeing the numbers reaching perfection.

"Merge some of Xian's flesh and blood, with me as the core of life, and we become a perfect unified lifeform, the Nine Infant."

Thus, they fully integrated and awakened, becoming truly perfectly merged beings.

They successfully fused and were very satisfied with their bodies, checking the time before logging out to sleep.

Once this group of heartless blacksmiths left, the consciousness switched back to this group of Saint Embers.

Having lost a segment of consciousness, Gale Emperor, at this time, looked at himself bearing nine armors and pregnant with nine fetuses, bewildered: "What happened? Did I sleepwalk?"

Cyan Flame Emperor: "Gale Emperor, what did you do to me! Why have I become your infant?"

Emperor Baitu: "You better let me out!"

The nine infants were dumbfounded, so furious that they spat blood.

They recognized this technique, which was how the Mother of Non-Life overthrew them.

But, little did they expect that one day they would become like this.

Flap flap.

The nine infants connected by the umbilical cord flailed wildly, flying around the room, giving an overwhelming sense of horror.

The Gale Emperor was also dumbstruck, but he quickly reacted: "I understand now, this must be the benefits given to me by that esteemed one!"

"These nine infants, shall I not command them to sweep through the entire tomb?"

Ambition sprouted in the heart of the Gale Emperor, no longer able to restrain his ambitions.

So what if it's outrageous, and what if he turns into a man-mother, as long as he has great power.

He felt the strength of his body, directly subduing those infants, launched himself straight into the sky, "Those emperors guarding the [Divine Window] have long oppressed us with their force."

"Now, you shall experience my terror!"

"In the past, the Mother of Non-Life oppressed us; today, I will oppress you!"

In an instant, the Gale Emperor soared towards his destination, crashing in front of a magnificent palace.

He was like an ancient octopus demon god, dancing with nine hideous tentacles, surrounded by black smoke, giving off an overwhelming aura of terror.
