The Growth of a God-Chapter 504 - 2: Those Who Dare Steal from the Tao

"Is this actually the power of those who dare steal from the Tao?"

Looking down at his own hands, Li Hao silently felt the "Qi" surging within them, and a hint of astonishment crept into his words.

"Those who dare steal from the Tao" is not a unique name given by Li Hao to the Celestial Human Civilization.

On the contrary, as a civilization that vanished during the Seventh Celestial Father Era, the Celestial Human Civilization has left behind various legends in all heavens and myriad realms.

There are even rumors that the unique system of power, "Qi," was actually spread by the survivors of the Celestial Human Civilization themselves.

As the unique power system of "Qi" spread, the term "those who dare steal from the Tao" was also circulated.

According to the current concepts of the Ascension Area, the gods are the mainstream of this era.

Besides possessing the power to crush all beings, the gods also have the duty to maintain the normal operation of the world.

Even those beings dubbed "Evil Gods" are very protective of their followers and their world.

Only the viewpoint of the Celestial Human Civilization differs.

They believe that the birth and death of the world have their own rules, and following nature and obeying the heavens is the true law.

The Celestial Beings, who gain "Divine Power" through cultivation, have no obligation to maintain the world's operation, nor will they forcibly extend the world's life with their own power.

When their cultivation reaches completion, the Celestial Beings will leave their own worlds to avoid being affected by their world's destruction.

Putting aside the differences in specific concepts.

From their actions alone, the Celestial Beings seem to share a striking similarity with those Lost Gods wandering the heavens.

The crucial issue is that most Lost Gods belong to the type that tirelessly tries to save worlds, only to have to wander due to various circumstances.

In contrast, the Celestial Beings simply do not care about the continuation of their worlds.

Celestial Beings typically, upon successful cultivation, leave their own worlds through a ritual called "Ascension."

At this stage, Celestial Beings often reach a state "beyond the Three Realms and not within the Five Elements," constructing a self-sustaining system similar to a "Small World" for themselves.

From a personal viewpoint, Celestial Beings at this stage will achieve "longevity comparable to the heavens," immune to the destruction of worlds.

However, from the world's perspective, the actions of the Celestial Beings seem even more extreme than the gods' behavior of "lifting the Divine Throne."

They utterly plunder part of the world's resources, solely to achieve themselves and exist independently of the world afterward.

This is undoubtedly parasitic behavior, thieves plundering the essence of the world.

And so the term "those who dare steal from the Tao" emerged.

"Unfortunately, this is the Fallen Area, and I can't plunder anything here."

With a soft sigh, Li Hao shook his head in regret. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Not to mention achieving himself by plundering Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.

If Li Hao dared to release his control of "Qi," his life energy would instantly feedback to Earth, ensuring not a drop remained.

Without any life force, not even the Creator could save this incarnation of Li Hao.

"Is there any more useful information?"

As he said this, Li Hao once again turned his gaze to Hua She.

He clearly knew that if only a little information was found and then stopped, it would not be the other party's style.

"Of course there is!"

As expected, Hua She confidently replied, living up to Li Hao's expectations.

"Although the Celestial Beings' cultivation technique has declined, they still have their own 'Realm' in the Civilization Game."

"I made a deal with the Faceless and finally got a ticket from him to the Celestial Human Realm."

Hua She displayed the Civilization Game interface she had seen to Li Hao.

Pointing to a link emitting a silvery-white glow, she spoke with undeniable pride.

"Through this special invitation link, any individual possessing 'Qi' can go to the Celestial Human Realm."

Nodding in realization, Li Hao could roughly understand the rationale behind the Celestial Human Civilization's actions.

For a civilization that abandoned its world, they must find an alternative path to continue their existence.

Spreading their cultivation technique among all heavens and myriad realms and guiding the outstanding individuals to the Celestial Human Realm seems to be their way of preserving themselves.

"Could this Celestial Human Realm be the original world of the Celestial Human Civilization?"

When Li Hao asked this, Hua She was momentarily stunned, then shook her head in confusion.

Because she truly did not know the internal specifics of the Celestial Human Realm, nor had she considered scouting the route.

"Have you considered that this so-called Celestial Human Realm might very well be a trap set by the Celestial Human Civilization?"

Anticipating this, Li Hao posed the question again.

Realizing what Li Hao meant, Hua She rolled her eyes in exasperation.

Li Hao's character could be called cautious, but it could also be said he overthinks, always pre-setting the worst-case scenario.

Even though Hua She understood his reasoning was quite valid, sometimes things are just not that complicated.

"Great God of Gods, I acquired this link from the Faceless."

"If the Celestial Human Civilization could deceive him, they could certainly deceive me."

Hua She had a clear understanding of her capabilities, incomparable to the Faceless.

If not for Li Hao's presence, she might never have had the opportunity to even face the Faceless.

"Besides, the Celestial Human Civilization has long perished..."

"Even if this Celestial Human Realm were indeed a trap they set up, it holds no meaning anymore."

Upon hearing this, Li Hao simply smiled without comment.

The Celestial Human Civilization was undoubtedly an extremely selfish civilization.

Projecting this onto others, Li Hao felt it was reasonable to assume the worst about their civilization.

As for the immortals on Huaxia Land, who bore a striking resemblance to the Celestial Beings?

Li Hao, now disillusioned, would not hold any natural affection for them due to their similarity to the Celestial Beings.

Perhaps the Earthly immortals did indeed originate from the Celestial system.

But through long periods of evolution and development, Celestial Beings and immortals have long become two entirely different entities.

"Whether it's a trap or not, I must prepare in advance."

Hearing the implication behind Li Hao's words, Hua She's pupils fiercely contracted.

"Are you planning to personally go to the Celestial Human Realm?"

This was something Hua She never expected; she had never thought Li Hao would actively propose going to the Celestial Human Realm.

It wasn't about his strength, but purely due to his current status.

As a Creator of a world, Li Hao was entangled with too many affairs to allow any mistake.

"Why not?"

"Such an interesting matter; it would be a pity not to go personally."
