231. Donghua's Plans

The Western Region world is currently in the reign of the second King of Gods, the second King of Gods among the Titan Race.

The first King of Gods was overthrown by his own son, so the second King of Gods's ascension to the throne was illegitimate. However, it must be said that he was indeed no ordinary person to be able to overthrow his own father and become King of Gods, as his cultivation level was already at the Late Stage Quasi-Saint.

Although he possessed both ability and talent, the first King of Gods uttered a curse on his deathbed, foretelling that the second King of Gods would also be overthrown by his own son.

The curse of a Peak Quasi-Saint expert before his death was no simple matter. The King of Gods had been unable to break this curse, but he could not live without his son.

Because his Empress was the daughter of Gaia, the God of the Great Earth, she was someone he couldn't afford to offend. It was also because of his Empress that he gained the support of the people, killed his own father, and became the King of Gods.

Therefore, he could only let his sons be born one by one. However, due to the existence of the curse, the King of Gods was always troubled and could not truly break through to the Peak Quasi-Saint.

So he chose the most foolish method: to have a son, which he would then swallow into his own divine kingdom, allowing the child to grow up within his own divine kingdom and be under his control, in order to break the curse.

The King of Gods had already devoured six sons—no, to be precise, five sons, because the sixth son, Zeus, had been switched and successfully sent out of the Titan Race by his mother.

Therefore, the curse of the King of Gods was not broken, but was fermenting. And this curse was successfully fulfilled. In later generations, Zeus, together with his five other brothers, successfully overthrew the King of Gods and became the new King of Gods, the strongest King of Gods in history, and the King of Gods closest to the Hun Yuan.

This is a Western Region myth recorded by later generations. Donghua doesn't know how much of it is true, but he thinks it's probably pretty close. As long as it's half true, his plan will succeed.

Donghua followed Nuwa all the way to the present-day Titan Divine Court.

Upon entering the Divine Court, the two released their Primordial Spirit Power, sensing the strength of the most powerful force in this world.

"Senior Sister Nuwa, including you, there are a total of thirteen Quasi-Saint. This strength is not weak; it's even stronger than my Purple Mansion. You're not simple!"

The two communicated using their spiritual senses, which was not visible on the surface.

"Far from it. These twelve Quasi-Saint, namely the twelve Titan Gods of the Titan Race, are the core strength of the Divine Court. They are just a group of early Quasi-Saint, nothing special. They are completely incomparable to your Purple Mansion."

Nuwa spoke with considerable disdain, but such strength was indeed insignificant to a Hun Yuan.

Moreover, Nuwa's words make sense. Although the Purple Mansion currently only has nine Quasi-Saint Great Powers, namely the Great Emperor of the Purple Mansion, Longbo is a Late Stage Quasi-Saint, while Candle Dragon is Mid Quasi-Saint.

In addition, there are Fuxi and West Queen Mother, who are in the Late Stage Quasi-Saint, not to mention Donghua, whose strength is comparable to Hun Yuan. It can be said that any one of them could sweep through this Divine Court.

The two calculated the strength of the Divine Court and arrived at the King of Gods's Palace.

"Greetings, Lord God!"

Nuwa gave a haughty "hmm" and said, "Go and inform the King of Gods that I, along with a friend, request an audience!"

A short while later, the messenger came out and said, "Your Majesty, the King of Gods requests that you two come in."

Upon entering, the two saw the King of Gods of the Western Region World for the first time. His cultivation level was the same as they remembered, with no changes.

"Greetings, King of Gods!"

The King of Gods Cronus looked at Donghua and Nuwa, his divine power surging, his divine kingdom appearing behind him. The scepter in his hand was a Top-tier Innate Spiritual Treasure, and also a treasure of great fortune. Donghua was quite envious of this spiritual treasure.

Donghua was carefully observing the King of Gods, while Nuwa beside him remained calm, as if she herself were the God of Creation.

At this moment, the King of Gods was also observing Donghua, and a different kind of Imperial Dao Divine Power enveloped Donghua.

Donghua smiled and released his Great Dao Power. In an instant, the divine power of light and the same Imperial Dao Divine Power rose up, and nine wings and eighteen wings sprouted from his back, and a holy Angel Dharma Form appeared behind him.

The majestic imperial presence, combined with divine light, appeared incredibly sacred, inspiring a sense of reverence and worship.

The King of Gods's heart trembled, a mixture of surprise and delight. He was surprised that Donghua also cultivated the Emperor's Path, but delighted that if such a supreme god joined the Divine Court and obeyed his commands, his influence in the Divine Court would greatly increase.

But can such a person truly be completely obedient to one's commands?

He became the King of Gods by killing his own father, which can be considered an illegitimate rise to power, so he always distrusts everyone.

"Creation Main God, is this the person you want to recommend to join our Divine Court?" The King of Gods withdrew his oppressive aura and looked at Nuwa with a smile, wanting to know Donghua's background.

Nuwa spoke humbly and calmly, "Your King of Gods, this is a chief god who was born with me. However, he has always cultivated alone, roaming the world and drifting in the chaos. Now, due to issues such as cultivation resources, he has come to join the Divine Court and serve King of Gods Majesty at my urging."

Nuwa, who transformed into the Creation Main God, was a direct subordinate of the King of Gods. However, it's more accurate to say they were collaborators, as their cultivation levels were very similar. Although there was a distinction between ruler and subject, the hierarchy between them was never very clear.

After Nuwa finished her introduction, Donghua stepped forward and said, "Angel Jesus greets Your King of Gods, may Your King of Gods!"

Upon hearing Donghua's address, the King of Gods stood up happily, stepped down from his throne, and came to Donghua's side.

"Archangel Lord God, there's no need for such formalities. Since you are a friend of the Creation Main God, you are my friend from now on. With the Archangel Lord God's help, I will be even more powerful!"

Donghua smiled and said, "Your King of Gods, at present, I only have the intention to join the Titan Divine Court, but I have not yet decided to Divine Court."

Upon hearing this, the King of Gods was not angry. Instead, he smiled and said, "What requests does the Supreme God have? Please feel free to make them. I will do my utmost to fulfill them."

He wasn't afraid of Donghua having many demands; he was afraid of Donghua having no demands at all, because if that were the case, it would only mean that this person had grand ambitions, and he would have to be careful.

"Your King of Gods, if you wish for me to join the Divine Court and serve you, you only need to grant me three requests."

The King of Gods said nonchalantly, "Tell me!"

"My first request is that I've heard that the Earth Goddess Gaia once gave Your Majesty some golden apples, and I'd like some."

"My second request is that I cultivate the Emperor's Path, but I have now reached a bottleneck and cannot break through it. Therefore, I wish to comprehend some of the secrets of Your Majesty's scepter."

"My third request is that, because I cultivate the path of the Emperor, I need a fiefdom to strengthen my power."

After Donghua finished stating his three requests, the King of Gods fell into deep thought, seemingly unconcerned about the first and third requests.

Although Gaia's golden apple was precious, it was only good for satisfying his appetite and did not help improve his strength.

In fact, Gaia's golden apple is equivalent to a top-tier Innate Spiritual Root in the Primordial World. It won't be of much help in improving one's Quasi-Saint realm; at most, it will only increase one's divine power.

As for the third condition, granting land, that's naturally not a problem. Even if Donghua didn't mention it, he would still grant land and bestow it upon the divine army, so that's a minor issue.

The second problem is a bit difficult, because the scepter contains his own imperial path. If he lends it to Donghua to comprehend, it would be equivalent to exposing his own path to others, which makes him very uneasy.

The King of Gods said unwillingly, "Brother Jesus, could we change the second condition? I can grant any other requests you have!"

Donghua smiled but didn't say anything. He looked down on the King of Gods's possessions, since he was only a Late Stage Quasi-Saint. What could possibly move him? The only things that were somewhat interesting were the Golden Apple and the Scepter.

The golden apple represents the most superior spiritual root in the Western Region world, while the scepter is considered the most supreme treasure. The Imperial Dao Divine Power contained within it can be comprehended, and perhaps even lead to further understanding.

As for wanting territory, he wants to create the Angel Race, build his own Garden of Eden, and thus establish his own divine kingdom and the Western Region Heavenly Court. As for Zeus, after he's used him, he can capture him and let the King of Gods eat him; his destiny should belong to the King of Gods' divine kingdom.

It would be a good opportunity to use Zeus to express his loyalty and establish his own power.

After seeing Donghua's attitude, the King of Gods knew that the scepter had to be lent out, otherwise he would not be able to subdue this Archangel Lord God.

The King of Gods looked at Donghua and Nuwa, and after thinking for a while, said in a deep voice, "I can lend you the scepter to study, but what can you do for me? Or rather, what can you bring me?"

Donghua bowed and said, "Your Majesty is fortunate to have gained a loyal subordinate, a subordinate who obeys only the King of Gods in the Divine Court, a subordinate of impeccable character who is unaffected by anyone, a subordinate who..."

Donghua unleashed a torrent of promises at the King of Gods, painting one empty promise after another. He was already quite adept at making empty promises, having lost count of how many he had made. The people of the Purple Mansion declared they were already quite full.

Upon hearing this, the King of Gods said happily, "Very well, since Brother Jesus is so pleased, I am not a stingy person. I will lend you this scepter for ten thousand years of contemplation."

After the King of Gods finished speaking, he took out eighteen golden apples and said, "These are the golden apples that the Earth Mother Gaia bestowed upon me. Now there are only eighteen left, so I will give them all to you. You can use them to build up your power and win over some subordinates to serve you."

Donghua accepted the golden apple without hesitation and said, "I don't need their service; their loyalty will only be to His King of Gods."

Upon hearing this, the King of Gods laughed heartily and said, "I will also bestow upon you the Canaan in the southeast as your fiefdom. The Phoenix Clan lives there, and you can subdue them and use them for your own purposes."

Nuwa looked at the King of Gods in shock upon hearing this, for she knew from the memories of the Creator God that the Phoenix Clan had not submitted to the Titan Divine Court.

Of course, they are not an enemy of the Divine Court, but rather a neutral force. However, the Phoenix Clan is definitely not weak. It is said that their patriarch is already at the mid-stage of the Main God realm, which is equivalent to the Mid Quasi-Saint.

It seems this is the God King's test for Donghua: to defeat the Phoenix Clan!

After the King of Gods finished speaking, he stared intently at Donghua, trying to discern something.

But to his disappointment, Donghua's face remained expressionless, as if he knew nothing about it.

"Your King of Gods, I obey your command!"

Donghua didn't care about this. He could use the Phoenix Clan to establish his authority, gain a foothold in this world, and let the King of Gods see his strength and know that he was not someone to be trifled with.

"Excellent! This is exactly the kind of person with such great courage I've been lacking. Now that Jesus' brother has joined us, our Titan Divine Court is destined to unify the entire world," the King of Gods said happily.

Nuwa was only slightly shocked, a reaction befitting her status; she wasn't actually worried at all. She then asked:

"I wonder why Your Majesty has summoned me here?"

The King of Gods glanced at Donghua, walked to his throne, and said in a deep voice, "I only recently learned that my sixth son is still alive. He was switched by the Empress, which makes me very uneasy. Therefore, I want you to make a trip to bring him back."

Hearing the King of Gods say this, Nuwa was neither shocked nor immediately agreed. Instead, she calmly asked, "Your Majesty, has the power of your curse not yet been removed? Is there any way to resolve it?"

The King of Gods slammed his fist on the table in anger, saying, "That old bastard transformed all his divine power into a curse before he died, imprinting it on my Great Dao. It's very difficult to remove, and it will take a long time, which is why I had no choice but to do this."

"Once I remove this curse, break through to the peak of the main god realm, and achieve the position of ruler, I will naturally release them and make compensation to them. How could I bear to really kill my own son?"

At this point, the King of Gods's expression turned slightly forlorn. Perhaps this was retribution. If he hadn't killed that old man and seized the King of Gods's throne to advance further in his imperial path, he wouldn't be facing such dire consequences today.

It is truly tragic that a family cannot reunite, and that one must even swallow one's own son into the divine kingdom within one's body, transforming him into one of one's own followers.

This incident also caused a strain in his relationship with the Empress.

Nuwa frowned and asked, "Your Majesty, I wonder if you have gone to see the Earth Mother? With her abilities, removing the curse should be a piece of cake."

The King of Gods shook his head and said helplessly, "The Earth Mother won't get involved in this matter. I bet she'd love for me to abdicate!"

"How is this possible? Wasn't it she who supported your ascension to the throne?" Nuwa asked in shock.

"Things are not what they used to be. Now his mind is entirely elsewhere. I heard he has created two new races, Cyclopes and Hecatoncheires. I even suspect that my sixth son's escape was part of his scheme." The King of Gods said dejectedly, his face filled with anger.

Nuwa replied, "Your Majesty, the Divine Court cannot lose the support of the Creation God; otherwise, it will be impossible for it to rule the world."

The King of Gods put away his dejected expression and said with a gloomy face, "Don't worry about this. There's more than one Creation God. I've already contacted the Creator of the Gods, the Night God. As long as we have the support of the Creation God, does it matter who it is specifically?"

Nuwa understood what was going on. The King of Gods must have colluded with the Night God. It seemed that the five Creation God were not of one mind and each had their own conflicts. At the very least, there was a conflict between Gaia and the Night God.

Since this contradiction exists, they are not of one mind, which is good news for them. If they can eliminate a Creation God before the war between the two realms, that would be wonderful.

Moreover, this provides them with favorable conditions for survival and development in the Western Region world, allowing them to obtain more benefits.

"Please, Your King of Gods, put it down. I will certainly bring it back!"

The King of Gods nodded and said, "Yes, I trust you to handle things. With the assistance of the two of you, our great cause will be accomplished sooner or later. Unifying the world is only a matter of time, and perhaps we can even aspire to the realm of supreme gods."

The Supreme God is what this world calls the Hunyuan Realm, and the Quasi-Saint is also known as the God Realm.

This is both a position and a state of being, just like the Saint of the Primordial World.

"Brother Jesus, after you have pacified Canaan and subdued the Phoenix Clan, I will summon the gods to Investiture of the Gods and allocate power upon you. What do you say?"

"Thank you for your kindness, Your King of Gods. Jesus appreciates it. I will certainly drink this welcome drink from Your Majesty!" Donghua said calmly.

The King of Gods laughed heartily, "Good, I like straightforward people like you, brother. I don't like others who are all coy and awkward, making people uncomfortable, and full of bad intentions."

Donghua chuckled a few times. He acknowledged the King of Gods; he did indeed possess a regal air. However, the God-King himself hadn't transcended his own inner self, thus limiting his achievements.

From Donghua's current perspective, the King of Gods doesn't have a curse at all; it's just a shackle on his heart. He's still immersed in the curse, which, in the eyes of the Primordial Wilderness cultivators, means he's fallen into Inner Demon.

So it's not that Gaia didn't lift the curse for him, but that there was never a curse in the first place!

The first Titan King of Gods was indeed a ruthless man; he betrayed his own son before his death, but his true motive remains unknown.

After chatting for a while, Donghua and Nuwa got up and left.

"Junior Brother Donghua, what do you suggest we do to gain more control over this realm?"

"This King of Gods is nothing more than a puppet of the Supreme God, possessing little real authority over heaven and earth. It seems pointless for us to pledge allegiance to him!"

After leaving the main hall, the two began to communicate telepathically.

"Senior Sister Nuwa, this matter cannot be rushed. However, the power of heaven and earth in this world is indeed in the hands of the Supreme God, and the King of Gods is merely a puppet."

"Perhaps it's not just this world; the future Primordial Wilderness world will probably be like this too. Can the Primordial Wilderness Saint really allow the Heavenly Emperor to control the power of heaven and earth, thereby shaking their position?"

Nuwa looked at Donghua with great curiosity and slowly said, "I didn't expect my junior brother to have such insight. It seems you have indeed grown a lot and are not as naive as you were back in the Volcano of Immortality."

"In fact, the Saint is inherently opposed to the Heavenly Emperor. It's either the East Wind prevails over the West Wind, or the West Wind prevails over the East Wind; the two can hardly coexist."

"Fortunately, the Heavenly Emperor of the Primordial Wilderness will be Junior Brother Donghua, and with me on top of him, the two of us can overwhelm everyone else. So what if the Three Pure Ones and the Two from the West become Attain Sainthood?"

"As long as the two of us support and help each other, we will surely be able to seize the greatest power in the world, and thus obtain more fortune and the Heavenly Dao Power!"

Donghua smiled and said, "That's why I sought an alliance with my senior sister back then. If the two of us hadn't formed an alliance, we would have been defeated one by one by the Three Pure Ones and the Western Region Sect. After all, this is a battle for the Great Dao, and there's never any room for mercy."

Nuwa nodded. Although she had agreed to Donghua's alliance, she hadn't taken it to heart at the time. However, after becoming Attain Sainthood, she gradually realized that her greatest enemy had always been the Three Pure Ones.

The Three Pure Ones Attain Sainthood is only a matter of time. Unless Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao are unwilling at this time, no one can stop these three from Attain Sainthood, but this situation is basically impossible.

Once the Three Pure Ones attain Attain Sainthood, they alone would be no match for the three who possess supreme treasures, and would have no choice but to seek allies.

However, the two Western Region allies are not the best allies, or perhaps they will become his rivals.

Therefore, only the future Heavenly Emperor Donghua is her best ally.

Once Donghua Attain Hunyuan Dao, his strength, even if not the strongest among all the Saint, will definitely be among the top. If the two of them join forces, they will fear no one.

"I only just realized what my junior brother was planning, and I am extremely ashamed. I will definitely make it up to you in the future. As long as we help each other, the Primordial Wilderness world will eventually be ours."

"When that time comes, and we manage to control this world, then we truly have a chance to reach the Dao Realm!"

As she spoke, Nuwa's eyes gleamed, her immense ambition making no attempt to conceal it.

Donghua smiled but didn't say much. His alliance with Nuwa was inevitable, and there was no way to avoid it.

Whether he seeks out Nuwa or Nuwa seeks out him, no one will refuse. If they can't even see this, then this alliance is better off not being formed!

"Let's not talk about the Primordial Wilderness world anymore. We can't mention it again in this world, not even through telepathy. We haven't witnessed the methods of those supreme gods, but we're afraid they might have some special means to monitor us. If they become suspicious, all our efforts will be in vain!"

Nuwa nodded slowly, agreeing with these words, just like the Saint of the Primordial Wilderness, who were almost omniscient and omnipotent.

"Alright, then we shall part ways here. I will go to find the sixth son of the King of Gods, and you will go to the Phoenix Clan. Let's work together to gain more power over the world as soon as possible."

After they finished speaking, they went their separate ways. Donghua did not tell Nuwa about Zeus's whereabouts; it was all up to fate.

Because Zeus is still useful, he wants to use Zeus to gather the twelve Olympus gods of the future, then usurp the throne, sell Zeus to the King of Gods, and then take over everything as the angel god and God, so that he can become the third generation of the King of Gods more quickly.

After leaving the Titan Divine Court, Donghua headed east towards Canaan, the homeland of the Phoenix Clan, intending to build Canaan into his own Garden of Eden.

P. S.: There will be a limited number of chapters available for free for the next couple of days, so everyone can catch up on any chapters they haven't read yet. This is probably the only time it will be free for a limited time.

Finally, creating content is not easy, so I'd like to ask everyone for monthly votes, or you can vote in the last three days of the month, since there are double monthly votes at the end of this month.

Thank you everyone for your support!
