Paradise of Demonic Gods

“Hahahaha, this is really funny. Doesn’t belong to me? Does it belong to you instead?”

As the immaterial man laughed coldly, horrifying powers descended from the sky, vaporizing all the living creatures in the world that had consciousness.

However, at this moment, the planet stopped moving. The atmosphere turned into condensed clouds, and his thoughts came to a stop completely. All matter in the world entered a standstill at this very instant.

From the humans’ perspective, the moment all matter stopped moving was when it seemed as if the world had entered a state where time had stopped.

“Such a large-scale time-stopping phenomenon? It’s impossible for Fang Xingjian to achieve this.”

The immaterial man looked at the abnormal phenomenon before him in surprise. At the next moment, he felt as if the entire world was breaking out from his control. Being the world’s consciousness, he was slowly being expelled from this world.

“How is that possible? Who’s the one doing this? Who is it?”

In the high-dimensional space-time, countless light rays started to penetrate this planet’s past and future. Everything that wanted to control this world’s powers was being expelled.

“White? Why is it him?”

The immaterial man clearly understood this demonic god-level existence very well. Almost at the very instant he sensed the world coming to a standstill, he had already recognized the person who made the move.

It was also because he recognized the other party that he did not put up any resistance. He knew it was meaningless to do so.

Right after, the entire world started moving once again. With the exception of Fang Xingjian and the immaterial man, no one detected this change.

Concurrently, both of them also sensed that there were no influences affecting their interference with this world. However, they were unable to truly grasp this world’s future and take hold of the direction this world was moving in.

It was because at the instant the world came to a standstill earlier, some kind of higher-dimensional power had taken over this world. They used a method that Fang Xingjian was unable to understand in order to completely take hold of this world’s future.

He was still able to interfere in the world and affect group consciousness, but he could no longer decide on how the world’s future would turn out.

At the instant he comprehended this point, a guess had appeared in Fang Xingjian’s mind.

‘It’s because this universe was brought into a wider and more massive system in that moment earlier. It’s no longer sufficient to ascertain its history through influencing this world.’

It was as if the Yellow Emperor’s and Yan Emperor’s ¹  tribes had extended out, the various countries in the western domain had established an exchange with Middle-earth, or that the Age of Discovery had extended out across the entire planet.

When the world was brought into an even bigger area, the original power that influenced this world could no longer be a decisive factor.

Fang Xingjian once again released his martial art projection into this planet. His feet stepped on the clouds, and he sent his consciousness into the endless void space as if trying to sense something.

Concurrently, the immaterial man appeared before him once again and said coldly, “I didn’t expect that you’re actually White’s lackey.”

“White…”

White—the origin of emptiness and nebulosity—was a supreme existence even amongst the 13 demonic gods. Even Miracle World’s God of Universal Truth was but his clone.

Earlier on, Fang Xingjian had also ascertained that the Nine-Tiered Heavens was a power that belonged to White.

It was because he had used ether particle martial arts for dissemination and completed the Nine-Tiered Heavens’ mission, bringing this world’s future into White’s control.

In the end, White’s power had really stopped the immaterial man from making a move. This also served as greater proof as to whom the Nine-Tiered Heavens belonged.

In fact, seeing how the Church of Universal Truth had stayed at the top in all areas over the many years, Fang Xingjian had an idea and also guessed that White controlled a large portion of authority in Miracle World. He was best able to decide the direction of the entire world’s future.

It was like a chessboard, with the square that represented Miracle World being taken up by White.

The immaterial man said slowly, “Excellent method. It really is an excellent method. I didn’t expect that your fight with me would be fake and that you’ve secretly called such a great god over here.”

“It’s true that I did try to fight against you, but the amount of time you’ve spent cultivating and the powers you’ve accumulated far surpass mine. Your strength is greater than mine as well. When I discovered that I wasn’t able to succeed insnatching food from the tiger’s mouth ² [2], I could only do this,” Fang Xingjian said calmly. “Right now, you should be worried about losing all of your capital over the casualties from this one world.”

The immaterial man let out a cold laugh and said, “There’s no need for you to worry. While fighting against you earlier on, I was already prepared to give up on this world. I’ve already sent out this world, and it is no longer a part of my body now.”

Fang Xingjian’s brows raised slightly, and he fully activated his high-dimensional abilities. He immediately sensed this fact.

He was no longer able to see the giant’s figure that was made up of countless worlds. Clearly, this world had been thrown away.

The two of them exchanged a glance and instantly understood each other’s plans.

Fang Xingjian had not expected that he could seize the rights over this world’s control with his own powers. Therefore, his initial objective was to bait White over and take over this world, or possibly the countless worlds that made up the giant’s body, through White.

With that, he would still have the opportunity to gather this world’s resources and turn them into endless resources for his own improvement.

After sensing the smell of Li Anping—the Silver Demonic God—coming from Fang Xingjian, the immaterial man had become extremely careful. He removed this world from his body and used one world to test out his opponent’s depths and background.

“Kid, you aren’t bad. You really aren’t bad,” the immaterial man said as he stared at Fang Xingjian. “It has been a very long time since I’ve seen such an interesting young man.”

“It has also been a very long time since I’ve encountered an interesting opponent like you,” Fang Xingjian said. “I’m still not sure how I should be addressing you.”

The immaterial man laughed coldly and said, “Hehe, do you think that after you’ve snatched a world from me, we can still become good friends, changing from enemies to allies?”

It was true that Fang Xingjian had this thought. The other party’s strength was deep and unfathomable, and he knew endless martial techniques. He also had a great understanding of the multivariate universe and the 13 demonic gods. Fang Xingjian wanted to dig out all sorts of information from this man.

However, it was clear that not every enemy could smile and ignore all the feuds that they had after a battle.

People like Tyrant, Ulpian, and the Crown Princess—who were broad-minded, bullied the weak and feared the strong, or held great admiration for power—were all people who could become friends.

However, it was impossible to turn people like the First Prince and Alexander into friends.

This seemed to be the case for the immaterial man as well. Although he had lost a world and it might not seem to be much considering that his body was made up of millions and millions of worlds, the immaterial man clearly did not think that this was the case.

Therefore, at the next moment, black cracks extended out from the immaterial man’s body, instantly tearing up Fang Xingjian’s projection into tiny pieces.

Then he tapped out with one finger, and the cracks in space extended out toward a stretch of void space. It hit into the group consciousness in the high-dimensional space-time, targeting straight at Fang Xingjian’s high-dimensional Sword Realm.

Since he had lost the fight for the world, he decided to kill Fang Xingjian completely.

Yet, at the next moment, Fang Xingjian seemed to have disappeared without a trace like an illusion.

“Did he run away?”
