A Dire Crisis, the First Generation's Ascension to Godhood

Chen Ning also realized Nalan Yao's reminder and couldn't help but ask, "Aren't these people all my ancestor's subordinates?"

"Indeed, strictly speaking, we are all your subordinates, because the leader said that once he finds you, you will automatically become the new leader."

"So what?"

Chen Ning was puzzled.

"But they will only accept being overpowered by the First Generation leader, and may not necessarily obey their husband."

Nalan Yao said calmly.

Chen Ning was momentarily bewildered and asked, "Since your leader, who is also my ancestor, sent you to find me, even if you weren't here to follow my orders, you must at least have some connection with me, right? I just want to inquire about the ancestor's whereabouts."

"My lord, you are unaware of this. The last message the leader gave us was that you know the method to become a god, which is why they came looking for you."

"The method to become a god?"

Chen Ning's throat bobbed involuntarily; he suddenly felt like he'd been tricked!

"So, my ancestor said I knew the method to become a god, so they came looking for me. If I didn't know, they might even have attacked me?"

Chen Ning asked tentatively.

Really.

Nalan Yao nodded earnestly, "They're all eccentrics, capable of anything. If my husband can't give them what they want, they might..."

What will happen?

"They will use every method of torture imaginable."

Upon hearing this...

Chen Ning couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

Etc!

This situation seems so similar to...

Picture...

Just like when I first arrived in the Nine Provinces Realm!

However, when Dragon-Seeking Sect, it was with a secret treasure as a lure, and the undercover agents were all eyeing it covetously. Now, what kind of bullshit method of becoming a god is this?

It was even more dangerous than when Dragon-Seeking Sect.

At that time, the undercover agents were unaware of each other's identities and were all extremely cautious.

But at this point, they've completely revealed their hand!

Who could withstand this?!

The First Generation was truly... a master of deception and fraud!

Chen Ning suddenly wanted to take back what he had said earlier.

The First-Generation Sect Master didn't leave himself a great gift, but rather a huge problem!

"Are those people very strong? How many are there?"

Chen Ning asked a brief question; at this moment, the more information he had, the better.

"There aren't many people who So Close Yet Worlds Apart yet so far; including Yao'er, there are only eight."

Nalan Yao answered truthfully.

Chen Ning nodded. "That's alright."

Fortunately, only seven people came to hunt him down.

If they outnumber them, there really won't be a way to escape.

At this moment.

Chen Ning suddenly remembered something, looked at Nalan Yao's innocent big eyes, and said, "You came to find me, probably for that method of becoming a god, right?"

"My lord, I don't want to lie to you, but I'm different from them. I truly love you. As long as you tell Yao'er the method to become a god, Yao'er promises not to harm you in the slightest."

"Hua'er, protect me!"

Chen Ning jumped up from his seat and retreated towards Hua Luo.

Hua Luo, like an old farmer, was watering a potted Spirit Plant in the room. Since receiving some power, the mysterious power within Hua Luo's body has been continuously regenerating.

It seems that this change has made the Hua Luo no longer as rigid as before.

Instead, like a child, they are curious about everything.

Upon hearing Chen Ning's shout, she immediately tossed the kettle into the air.

As it fell, the kettle changed shape, Illusory Annihilation Dark Gold recombined into a giant hammer.

Hua Luo stood in front of Chen Ning, holding a large hammer, glaring menacingly.

Chen Ning was actually quite gratified. In this cold world full of schemes, only Hua'er was devoted to him.

Unwavering.

Chen Ning peeked out from behind Hua Luo warily and said, "So, the purpose of your whole 'finding a son-in-law' event is to lure me here, isn't it?"

"The leader only said that my husband's Dao of Music had reached its pinnacle, and that he had descended upon the Nebula Continent, so Yao'er thought of trying this method. I never expected that I would actually find my husband."

Upon hearing this...

Chen Ning frowned slightly. The First Generation actually knew that he had come to the Nebula Continent, but if that was the case, why didn't he come looking for him himself?

Perhaps it was because the First Generation was currently in a predicament, or unable to extricate himself, that these subordinates came to him and honored him as the next leader.

If what Nalan Yao said is true, then those people who So Close Yet Worlds Apart are all strange people, unruly and difficult to tame, and that she has no relation to them.

They would never come looking for me on their own initiative.

So.

The First Generation followed the same method and created a so-called method for becoming a god.

For the purpose of.

It's very likely that they're using these people to protect themselves.

But this is too difficult!

Leaving behind such a team is worse than starting from scratch.

I really will thank you!

Well...

It's time to show off our acting skills again...

Chen Ning narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "If I tell you the method to become a god, can you protect me? Or rather, are you the strongest among them?"

"Yao'er is just a woman, only skilled in minor arts like music, naturally she can't compare to those cruel and eccentric people, but..."

Nalan Yao's beautiful eyes sparkled. "As long as my husband tells Yao'er the method to become a god, Yao'er can destroy his soul, and they will naturally no longer be able to learn the method from him."

"Destroy my soul?"

"Yes, although my husband will become mentally impaired after his soul is destroyed, at least he will survive. Yao'er will take care of him for the rest of his life."

The words were gentle, but the content they conveyed was incredibly cruel.

But she said it so casually.

It sends chills down your spine.

Chen Ning now fully understood that she was probably no different from the strange people she had described.

She can be described as a femme fatale.

Chen Ning couldn't help but laugh; it seemed like another hellish start...

After a long pause, Chen Ning announced loudly, "Pass on my decree to summon everyone from So Close Yet Worlds Apart. I want to meet them!"

Rather than be completely controlled by Nalan Yao.

Rather than being hunted down by the other members.

Instead, we should take the initiative to gather everyone together; perhaps we'll find a way out!

Obviously.

Nalan Yao was also stunned; she hadn't expected Chen Ning to have such courage.

"My husband is truly... commendable in his courage..."

Nalan Yao's beautiful eyes flickered as she said, "Although I think your decision is somewhat foolish, my husband is the leader of the new generation, Yao'er will naturally obey your orders."

"Oh, right, I have one last question."

Chen Ning looked at Nalan Yao and asked:

Why would you believe that someone like me, who came from the mortal realm, knows the way to become a god?

This is a very important question.

Upon hearing this, Nalan Yao smiled faintly and said, "Because... the First Generation leader said that you, my husband, know this."

Why do you believe him just because he says so?

Chen Ning continued to ask.

"That's because the First Generation leader has already reached the God Realm. How could one not believe the words of a god?"

These words were spoken.

Chen Ning was deeply shaken.
