Longevity Chronicles-Chapter 964 - 620: The Thieving Heavenly Dao Extorts All Gods, Black Golden Cicada Preaches on the Westward Journey

The more frenzied the Search God Realm becomes, the harsher the extortion.

This implies that the Heavenly Dao of this realm is closer to collapse and is beyond salvation.

The feast is nearly upon us.

"The Heavenly Dao Banquet will open, and those who consume a small piece will enter the Daoist Transformation."

"Those who consume a large piece will enter Tribulation Immortal state."

"If one can devour it completely, Chaos can be expected."

"Who can resist such temptation? Not only will these God Demons inside the realm refuse to leave, but in the last century, there will be more covetous entities from the Outer Realm, coming one after another in an unending stream."

As Tao Buddha's son muttered, his true form was silently signing a contract with the Search God Realm's Heavenly Dao, making a transaction.

The process was very simple.

Tao Qian responded to the prayers of the two women, preserving their lives while solidifying his identity as the Peach Blossom God, registered by the Search God Realm's Heavenly Dao.

As for the so-called "additional investment," Tao Qian did not act impulsively, contemplating to first observe and then decide.

Although he now had a title of Peach Blossom God, he was not a legitimate Outer Realm God Demon.

Whether it was his true form or avatar, he couldn't truly compare to the real Gods and Demons in terms of possessions and foundation.

If it came down to resources and foundation, he would surely lose.

While he refrained from action, other countries, Gods, Demons, and Daoist inheritors were all taking actions one after another.

With the "Heavenly Dao Banquet" as a lure before them, no one cared about the extortion scenes orchestrated by the Search God Realm for self-rescue; they all started plotting their moves.

...

After the ten Tribulations of world destruction, the Search God Realm was a wasteland with cries of despair everywhere, and the incense dwindled.

However, this tragic scene lasted for less than a day.

Once the Great Abyss Gods acted, the scene changed drastically.

One powerful God Demon clan after another, carrying resources and treasures bestowed by their backing Gods and Demons, arrived from all parts of the Great Abyss. A vast number of God Demon avatars and offspring bloodlines also descended.

The Dao veins of All Heavens also took action, such as the Taishang Dao, Primordial Sect, All Heavens Buddhism, Evil Sect Demonic Path, heresy and heterodoxy, and other powerful forces, adding resources immensely.

Clearly, each side understood.

Though the feast is grand and the benefits numerous, the competitors are also vast.

Even to win a small portion of the Heavenly Dao Spiritual Materials, one must pay a significant price.

The chaotic scene in the Search God Realm in the decades leading up to its disintegration is almost predictable.

War!

An unprecedented, high-intensity God Demon war.

The grandeur and terrifying cruelty of the scene will surely surpass the previous "Great Tribulation of the Human Dao" experienced by the Longevity Realm.

Common forces or less known and less powerful Gods and Demons will surely be crushed to bits in such a tribulation.

But that is the future; as of now and in the coming years, the scenes are entirely the opposite and peculiar.

Under the efforts of the Great Abyss Gods and All Heavens Dao veins, the once devastated Search God Realm was rapidly repaired.

Its prosperity has even surpassed that of the past.

One month!

In just one month, the Great Demon Tao felt as if he was seeing hallucinations, believing the scenes transmitted by the Divination Worm to be an illusion.

What he saw and heard was rare even in the Longevity Realm.

"The Human World flourished and prosperous, desires fulfilled, everyone clothed, bellies full, without lack or regret."

"The Spiritual Cultivation Transcendent Realm is teeming with vitality, all requests are met with spiritual response, all arts circulate freely, and the strong emerge in great numbers."

"Tsk tsk, such scenes are rare to witness."

"Among the thousands of worlds in the Great Abyss Origin Sea, perhaps only the Mountain and Sea Realm, Earth Immortal Realm, and a few other Great Realms can witness these. Even the current Longevity Realm can't match it for the time being."

"Is this the power of the Great Abyss Gods and All Heavens Dao veins?"

"Once they combine efforts, do they effortlessly satisfy everyone's desires?"

"If the Heavenly Dao Origin of the Search God Realm could swallow all this, could it replenish most of its own depleted vitality...?"

This doubt in Tao Buddha's son's mind was soon answered.

On this day, the Search God Realm underwent another change.

However, this time, it was not a disaster tribulation but a rare and wondrous event.

Heaven and earth suddenly trembled for a moment, and then an intangible, formless warm breeze swept through every corner of the Search God Realm.

Even within the borders of Liang Country, it was unavoidable.

Tao Qian witnessed with his own eyes as Liang Country, originally rebounded and recuperating, suddenly flourished with spring-like renewal, all things revived, vegetation grew wildly, and vitality surged.

The Jiang Sisters and Lady Bei suddenly arrived together.

Evidently unscathed by the [Ten Thousand Desires Yin Yang Pillow], yet each person's face was flushed, eyes brimming with spring water.

Though their spiritual wisdom remained clear, once they spoke, it seemed like nonsensical prattle:

"Peach Blossom, my lord, I plead for your blessing, to unite with me and birth descendants."

"Me too."

"And me."

These words, these desires and aspirations.

At the same time, resonated throughout various places in the Search God Realm.

In short!

Have children!

And have them in abundance.

Hearing this nonsense, Great Demon Tao was momentarily stunned, then his mind was inundated with visions transmitted by the Divination Worm, including scenes from within the borders of Liang Country and neighboring realms.

Somewhat jarring, images of the resurgence and rampant proliferation of all things.

Before he could give rise to doubt, the description from the Divination Worm arrived.

"This is the will of the Heavenly Dao!"

"Due to the Great Abyss Gods and the All Heaven Dao Veins, the Heavenly Dao of the Search God Realm has received immense nourishment."

"To hasten repair and swiftly save itself, it has unleashed such a proliferation phenomenon, very difficult to resist when inside the Search God Realm."

"Under this will, all living beings will undergo prolific reproduction in a short time."

"Within a year, the number of life exterminated by the ten tribulations will be replenished and restored."

"Within ten years, the number of life within the Search God Realm will be several times or even ten times what it was before."

"Twenty years from now, it will be incalculable."

...

After seeing all this, Great Demon Tao was once again stunned.

With his wisdom, he instantly recognized the danger within, far from as favorable as it seemed on the surface.

Reproduction and growth, a population explosion.

To the ear, it sounds like a sign of "great prosperity," but in truth, it's the flair of boiling oil and flowers strewing brocades, ultimately heralding a great calamity.

At the same time, it also proves that even with increased investment from the Great Abyss Gods and the All Heaven Dao Veins, it still cannot make up for the deficit in the Heavenly Dao of the Search God Realm, unable to save its mutated collapse.

"The Heavenly Dao Origin uses this intense, irresolvable 'proliferation method', clearly intending to create a final prosperity, again luring the gods and All Heaven Dao Veins to join."

"If it were moderated a bit and spread over a longer time, say ten thousand years, perhaps there would truly be hope."

"But in just a mere hundred years, the more life forms, the more resources, ultimately it might all be used as fuel, oil, adding to the final great fire."

"The Heavenly Dao makes calculations, do the Great Abyss Gods and All Heaven Dao Veins not?"

"I fear before the reproduction and prosperity end, the Search God Realm will begin mutual warfare, seizing territories, the slightly weaker forces will be the first to be eliminated..."

"Hmm?"

At this thought, Great Demon Tao immediately realized something, his face involuntarily broke into a wry smile.

Before the ten tribulations upheaval, his fabricated "Peach Blossom God" ruled over Liang Country, which counted as a moderate nation.

Not considered strong, but couldn't be called very weak either.

But after the ten tribulations, once the Heavenly Dao's will extorted the gods, the situation was vastly different.

Like before when smaller countries like "Wu Country" were annexed early on.

Great Demon Tao immediately slipped down to the bottom tier.

Especially when all the gods and Daoist inheritors increased their investment and he remained indifferent, further cementing his place as the weakest of the weak, completely becoming the most vulnerable force.

As the saying goes!

To pinch, choose the softest persimmon.

Undoubtedly, he, Great Demon Tao, was the softest persimmon among the nations of the Ten Thousand Gods Continent.

Realizing this himself, naturally, the powerful neighbors around him were also aware.

What surprised Tao Qian was the timing of the encroachment; he originally thought it would take a few years, waiting for the population explosion and for major forces to expand before they took action.

Unfortunately, he overestimated himself.

Only half a year!

Intruders arrived within the borders of Liang Country.

Great Demon Tao was originally pondering what reasons the god and demon forces of the surrounding countries would use to invade him.

When he saw it this day, he laughed in exasperation.

There came a team composed of Buddha's sons and demons, a "Scripture Collection Team," arriving from Tang Country.
