After Su Yang finished recounting the legend of the Void Great Emperor, quite a few members of the human race had already developed reverence for him!
They had also sensed a faint yet genuine loss of faith power!
Though extremely slight, it had already caused tangible damage!
If Su Yang continued spreading the Void Great Emperor's deeds throughout the Earthly Immortal Realm, he would inevitably deal a profound blow to these deities!
These mighty beings listed on the Investiture of the Gods List were unable to break through by cultivation because they were bound by the list. They could only rely on mortal incense and faith power to strengthen themselves.
But now?
The Earthly Immortal Realm they had painstakingly cultivated for many years had actually been affected by Su Yang alone,
causing countless mortals to offer the faith that had originally belonged to them to that unreachable Void Great Emperor!
How could they not be enraged by such a situation?
The Jade Emperor looked at the fury on the faces of the gods, yet secretly rejoiced in his heart.
These immortals listed on the Investiture of the Gods List usually acted arrogantly, relying on their status as disciples of Saints to repeatedly show disrespect toward him, the Co-Lord of the Three Realms.
The so-called "Great Heavenly Venerate of the Three Realms" seemed to be nothing more than an empty title in their eyes.
Now that he saw everyone looking so embarrassed, the Jade Emperor felt as exhilarated as if he had drunk honey!
"He actually dared to seize our incense and faith power! He must be executed! Which of you is willing to descend to the lower realm and take his life?"
Above the Heavenly Court, an Ancient Being listed on the Investiture of the Gods List looked at the scene reflected in the Haotian Mirror,
his face dark and his anger impossible to conceal. He immediately spoke up and proposed taking action.
After hearing this, the other gods remained silent. In broad daylight like this, it was not suitable for them to interfere.
Besides, the faith power Su Yang had taken was merely a drop in the Vast Sea.
To these beings who possessed Great Divine Power, the loss of such a small amount of faith power was truly insignificant.
But that deity clearly had no intention of letting the matter go. Su Yang had already angered Heaven's Dao earlier, causing Zixiao Divine Thunder to descend. That was a grave offense.
Now, he wanted to seize Su Yang while taking advantage of this opportunity and offer him to Zixiao Palace.
That way, he could both win the favor of that expert and eliminate a potential threat.
The gods on the Investiture of the Gods List now all relied on faith power to sustain themselves. The source of faith in the Earthly Immortal Realm was already scarce,
and if a mortal took another portion of it, even less would naturally fall into his hands.
At this thought, the deity could no longer suppress his anger.
He looked at the silent gods and said coldly, "Fine! You're unwilling to act, are you? Then I'll go there myself!"
With that, he did not even seek the Jade Emperor's permission. He transformed directly into a streak of light and sped toward the Earthly Immortal Realm.
The Jade Emperor's face darkened, as though night had fallen.
This was precisely why he hated these Great Divine Ability Users—they relied on their cultivation and the Sage's Lineage, showing not the slightest reverence for him, the Jade Emperor.
Now, they had actually left in public without even making a report, heading straight for the Earthly Immortal Realm.
Seeing the Jade Emperor's unpleasant expression, the gods all fell silent. Although they often humored the Jade Emperor on ordinary days, none of them dared to be discourteous openly.
The deity who had just left was a renowned mighty being even during the Primordial era, a figure from the same age as many Quasi-Saints.
He had been born before the Witch-Demon Calamity and had lived through the turbulent era following the Dragon-Phoenix-Kirin Three Clans' Conflict.
He was also a famous powerhouse in the Primordial World.
Unfortunately, he had fallen onto the Investiture of the Gods List during the Investiture of the Gods Calamity. From then on, his cultivation had stagnated, and he could only rely on faith power to improve slowly.
Now that Su Yang had seized faith power, how could he not be enraged?
However, no matter how dissatisfied they were, they still had to maintain the proper courtesies on the surface. Although the various Saints' Lineages each harbored their own motives, they still had to show respect to the Jade Emperor.
That deity, however, openly ignored the Jade Emperor's existence because of his formidable strength.
Deep within the Netherworld, inside Houtu Palace.
After listening to Su Yang's account, Houtu's interest in him grew even stronger.
With her extraordinary insight, she naturally realized that the "Void Great Emperor" was not a fabricated name but a real person who had existed.
That was an undeniable fact. The question now was, where had Su Yang learned these secrets?
Judging from Su Yang's performance just now, it seemed that he knew every secret of the Shrouding the Heavens World by heart.
"There were originally more than a hundred ancient Great Emperors in the Shrouding the Heavens World, and the Void Great Emperor was only one of them. I wonder whether this little fellow knows the identities of any other Great Emperors?"
Houtu looked at Su Yang's face, curiosity rising in her heart as she secretly pondered:
"If I could bring this little fellow back with me and have him tell me about those past events every day, wouldn't that be wonderful?"
"Then I wouldn't have to wait day after day, hoping that he would speak on his own."
Inside the inn, the account of the Void Great Emperor proving the Dao and becoming an Emperor had already come to an end.
At this moment, everyone in the inn still looked intoxicated, clearly unsatisfied.
The story of the Void Great Emperor ascending to the Emperor Realm was over. Would Su Yang continue telling other stories?
For example, what had happened to the Void Great Emperor later?
Or perhaps, were the other Great Emperors just as blood-stirring as the Void Great Emperor?
Changxi and Xi He had never taken their eyes off Su Yang. Their hearts were filled with questions: Why did he know these unknown past events?
"Big Sister, I'm finding him more and more interesting."
Changxi sent a voice transmission to Xi He. "Is there any way we can bring him back to the Lunar Star?"
After hearing this, Xi He responded with slight helplessness, "Su Yang has angered Heaven's Dao. If we bring him back to the Lunar Star, I'm afraid the karma we incur will be difficult to bear."
"If you really enjoy listening to his stories, we can come listen often in the future. There's no need to bring him back."
Changxi fell silent. What she was thinking about was not merely listening to stories.
What truly interested her was Su Yang himself. But at this moment, she still could not understand what the inexplicable stirring in her heart meant.
At this moment, Nuwa was leaning against her chair, gazing at Su Yang's handsome, refined features as boundless curiosity surged within her.
"This youth is not a life-form I created through Fortune. Otherwise, I would certainly know where he came from."
Nuwa secretly thought, "If that's really the case, can I bring him back to Wa Huang Palace and find out his true identity? And while I'm at it—"
Just then, a woman slowly emerged from the rear courtyard, drawing everyone's attention.
She wore a plain white dress and possessed peerless beauty. A bronze mask hung at her waist, and she carried a cup of clear water in her hand. She walked slowly to Su Yang and offered him the cup.
Who else could this person have been but the Ruthless Great Emperor?
"You've been talking for so long. You must be thirsty, right?"
The Ruthless Great Emperor spoke in a calm tone. "Have some water, then continue."
Su Yang chuckled, accepted the cup, and was just about to drink.
The mortals gathered in the inn all cast curious looks over, and whispers instantly spread through the room.
"Mister Su! You've been hiding a beauty from us!"
"That's right, Mister Su. If she hadn't shown herself in person, we wouldn't have known you already had someone in your heart."
"Oh, my! I was just thinking of introducing my daughter to Mister Su. Looks like I won't have the chance after all."
"Stop joking around. Your daughter looks like that, and even I can't stand looking at her. You still want to introduce her to someone else?"
