Su Yi was stunned.

The woman standing before him was ethereal and pure, with the air of one whoād risen out of the dust of mundanity. She was so beautiful as to make oneās heart shake, majestic, and proud.
Her plain hemp clothing was in no way enough to disguise her delicate charm. Anyone who saw her would be unwittingly stunned, and none would dare harbor any untoward thoughts about her; it would be like blasphemy.
Yet now, she spoke with rare solemnity, revealing the long-concealed voice of her heart. The sound sent ripples through Su Yiās heart in turn.
After a momentās silence, Su Yi smiled. āI feel the same.ā
It was true. Of all people in both this life and his past lives, Xi Ning gave him the most unique feeling, and they understood each other even without words. It was like they could see into each otherās hearts.
Xi Ningās eyes flashed with colorful light. This wasnāt bashful shyness, but rather, heartfelt delight.
āHmph!ā Divine Venerate Xi Yue suddenly snorted coldly, her gaze decidedly unfriendly. She sensed that there was a āproblemā between Su Yi and Xi Ning, so she immediately pulled Su Yi aside for a private chat.
āAāNing told me a bit about how you got acquainted, and I can tell she has feelings for you. To tell the truth, if you were anyone else, even a trivial figure of little significance, itād be fine. If she liked you, I wouldnāt hold her back. But youāre different.ā Divine Venerate Xi Yueās gaze was suddenly complicated. āThe top experts of the God Domain will not tolerate your existence. If you and AāNing are togetherā¦ā
āI understand what youāre trying to say,ā said Su Yi. āYouāre worried that Iāll implicate her, and by extension, the entire Xi Family. Youād hate to see that happen, and of course, the Xi Family doesnāt want that, either. Am I right?ā
Divine Venerate Xi Yue nodded. āIf you really care about AāNingās wellbeing, youād best draw a line between yourself and her.
āI know you control the power of reincarnation and that you have heaven-defying foundations. You slew a Lesser God in the Great Unity Stage. Thatās an unparalleled accomplishment even in the God Domain.
āBut so what? Any of the Master Gods could kill you with ease! And as Iām sure you know, many of them see you as a thorn in their sides.ā
Here, Divine Venerate Xi Yue sighed, a hint of sympathy in her gaze. āForgive me if my words are grating to the ears, but in light of the facts, both I and the clan behind me can only choose to make AāNing draw a line between herself and you.ā
Su Yi suddenly laughed. āAre you done talking?ā
Divine Venerate Xi Yue frowned. āIt seems you havenāt taken my words to heart.ā
Su Yi put his hands behind his back and said calmly, āMiss Xi Ning and I are dear friends in our pursuit of the Grand Dao. I respect your choice, and the Xi Familyās choice, but I donāt need othersā input in my affairs.ā
Divine Venerate Xi Yueās expression darkened. In the end, she just sighed. āWhen I proved my Dao and became a goddess, I foolishly believed I could do whatever I liked going forward.
āBut reality is the cruelest of all. Even deities must follow the rules and weigh the pros and cons of every action. Even we must lower our heads at times and compromise when we need to compromise!ā said Divine Venerate Xi Yue with waning enthusiasm. āWere you anyone else, I couldnāt be bothered to say all that. I just hope you can take my words to heart.ā
She turned and was just about to leave when Su Yi said suddenly, āI disdain to prove my abilities to anyone, but since you said all that, I donāt mind telling you that the Master Gods you see as āunbeatableā are just trivial stepping stones in my pursuit of the Grand Dao.ā
Divine Venerate Xi Yue was stunned. It seemed utterly absurd. The Master Gods are⦠stepping stones? How could this kid be so frenzied and ignorant?
For a moment, she regretted saying all that to him. Thereās obviously no reasoning with him. Heās unworthy of my advice, and he doesnāt deserve my sympathy!
She couldnāt be bothered to argue any further. She just said flippantly, āNever mind the rest. First, you need to figure out how youāre going to survive the Epoch Battlefield!ā
Before her voice had even finished echoing through the air, she appeared beside Xi Ning. āWeāre leaving.ā
Then, she led Xi Ning away, giving her no chance to argue.
āMy great aunt doesnāt believe you, but I do,ā said Xi Ning. She didnāt struggle. She just turned to look at Su Yi and silently transmitted a message, a smile on her face.
Su Yi smiled back and waved. āTake care.ā
After Xi Ning and Divine Venerate Xi Yue faded from view, Su Yi called Luo Tiandu over. āHow about we find a place to have a chat?ā
Luo Tiandu was briefly stunned, but then, he nodded. āSure.ā
ā¦ā¦
Kccch!
Purple flames rose over the Divine Replenishment Furnace. It was grilling meat.
The furnace had already grown accustomed to the necessary heat control, and the roasting meat was soon crispy. Its dripping juices crackled at the bottom of the furnace, and an enticing fragrance wafted into the air.
This was, of course, the meat of a natural variant beast, and its marbled flesh was full of abundant Grand Dao source power. Only the divine flames of a treasure like the Divine Replenishment Furnace could cook it.
Su Yi sat to the side, sprawled out in his wicker chair with a jug of wine as he conversed with Luo Tiandu.
āSo that means that no matter how high a godās cultivation base is, any avatar of will they send into the Epoch Battlefield will be at the Lesser God level?ā asked Su Yi.
āThatās right. The godsā power is subject to the restriction of the Laws and the natural order. Any attempt they make to send an avatar of will into the Immortal Realm will meet with an inevitable backlash from its Laws,ā said Luo Tiandu. His gaze was complicated. āMy great uncleās true body was a true Fortune Realm Greater God. Heās a top-notch figure amongst the gods, even in the God Domain. However, his avatar of will still couldnāt avoid the suppression of the Immortal Realmās Laws, so he could only display power comparable to a Lesser God.ā
Su Yi nodded.
The Divine Dao was divided into four realms: Creation, Limit, Fortune, and Undying!
The first three realms corresponded to Lesser, Mid-Rank, and Greater Gods. Experts of the Undying Realm were known as Master Gods!
Luo Tianduās great uncle, Divine Venerate Luo Heng, was a Fortune Realm Greater God.
āWhat about Divine Venerate Xi Yue? How strong is her true body?ā
āAbout the same. Sheās a Greater Goddess, but when she became a god, she condensed a first-level Epoch Law, so she has the potential to break into the Undying Realm and become a Master Goddess.ā
āSo thatās it,ā sighed Su Yi. āBoth your great uncle and Xi Yueās true body are top experts of the Divine Dao. Extraordinary!ā
The Four Realms of the Divine Dao.
The Master Gods of the Undying Realm were the strongest hegemons of the God Domain!
Xie Yue and Luo Hengās true bodies were Greater Gods, experts just beneath that level. Their status in the God Domain was far beyond that of ordinary deities!
Luo Tiandu griped inwardly, Earlier, you didnāt take my great uncle the least bit seriously! How is it that youāre only just now realizing how incredible he is?
He thought for a moment, then issued a well-intentioned warning. āFellow Daoist Su, you destroyed my great uncleās avatar of will, but must not let it go to your head. An avatar of will is, ultimately, just condensed divine power. Destroying it had no effect on my great uncle.
āAnd if not for the restriction of the Laws, his avatar of will could have displayed strength close to that of his true body!
Su Yi picked up a fully cooked skewer of meat and handed it to Luo Tiandu. He then took another skewer for himself and said between bites of food, āThe gods do not tolerate me, and I do not tolerate them in turn. Sure, they might be lofty and superior now, but even if I canāt reach them now, Iāll be sure to crush them beneath my feet sooner or later.ā
ā....ā Luo Tiandu didnāt know what to say. He took a big bite of meat, and his cheeks bulged. Finally, he sighed, āWhen I was young, I fantasized about one day standing above the gods, but as I gained experience, I realized just how terrifying the lofty and superior gods really are.
āI felt like an ordinary mortal gazing into the stars, able to see them but never to reach them!ā Here, he paused, then said, āBut Iām actually rather eager for the day that you can achieve what I once dreamed of!ā
Su Yi smiled. āEverythingās possible with enough effort. Maintain your Dao Heart and strive assiduously, and thereās nothing you cannot achieve.ā
Luo Tiandu hesitated, but in the end, he couldnāt hold back. āThe godsā avatars of will have already descended into the Epoch Battlefield. This is an almost insurmountable trial for you. Arenāt youā¦. Arenāt you at all worried?ā
Before Su Yi could respond, Luo Tiandu continued, āAdmittedly, the gods can at most display strength comparable to a Creation Realm Lesser God, but theyāve mastered all manner of unbelievable divine abilities and forbidden arts. A true Lesser God would be nothing compared to them!ā
āIf they make up their mind to kill you, the consequencesā¦.ā
Here, he trailed off. Heād already made himself perfectly clear.
Su Yi took a sip of wine and said casually, āDo you think Iād be able to fight them if I stepped into the Great Profound Stage?ā
An explosion went off in Luo Tianduās head as he realized the source of Su Yiās confidence.
Su Yi could slay gods even in the Great Unity Stage. Heād even defeated Luo Hengās avatar of will! Who knew how much stronger heād become once he stepped into the Great Profound Stage?
A moment later, something occurred to him, and his expression shifted. āBrother Su, thereās something Iām afraid you donāt know yet. The gods have long since set their sights on you, and every time you break through, it inevitably draws their attention. This is why all the divine children know your cultivation level.
āBut this time is different. My great uncle said that if you tried to prove your Dao and enter the Great Profound Stage, theyād deal you the most lethal of blows! He said that even if they failed to kill you, theyād stop you from entering the Great Profound Stage!ā
Su Yiās eyebrows rose. This news startled him. Theyāre planning something like that?
It seems that the gods Li Fuyou chased off during my last tribulation have no intention of simply letting up. Theyāve decided to strike to kill during my Great Profound Tribulation!
The most troublesome part is that I cannot use Li Fuyouās Dao Imprint in the Epoch Battlefield. I can only rely on myself when I break into the Great Profound Stage!
Given the circumstances, if the gods go all out, heedless of the consequences, it really will be troublesome, and the consequences will be difficult to predict!
A moment later, Su Yi said with heartfelt emotion, āIt seems the so-called gods have thoroughly prepared to destroy me this time. Am I supposed to be happy or angry?ā
