I Really Am A Villain

As these words fell, the entire High Heaven Hall fell silent.

Immediately afterward, heated debate broke out.

“Primal God Overlord, I believe that since True Martial Sacred Ground has entered our Grand Desolate Heaven, whether they are a dragon or a tiger, they must coil up and lie low here. They are not allowed to challenge our bottom line. Grand Desolate Heaven ultimately still belongs to us.”

“I think that would be inappropriate. True Martial Sacred Ground is different from other forces. If we act forcefully, it may end with both sides suffering losses.”

The one who spoke was the Sacred Mountain God.

At his side, the Celestial Jade God let out a cold snort.

“Sacred Mountain, you’re giving them far too much credit. Our Primal God Race has ruled Grand Desolate Heaven for billions of years. Are you saying the strength we’ve accumulated can’t compare to a force that just ascended?”

“That may be true, but an existence like True Martial Progenitor commands many Infinite Dao and Saint Sovereigns beneath him. The Upper Heavens isn’t ruled by our Primal God Race alone. I believe many forces are eager to see us make a fool of ourselves.”

The entire High Heaven Hall descended into chaos.

Some advocated war, using hardline measures to force True Martial Sacred Ground into submission.

Others preferred a gradual approach. As long as True Martial Sacred Ground did not cross the line too egregiously, they were willing to turn a blind eye.

Despite the noisy arguments filling the hall, from beginning to end, three people remained calm.

One was the Primal God Overlord.

The other two stood at the foremost positions on either side.

The Lord of Stars and the Four Symbols God-Lord.

Their status could be considered the highest.

Their strength was likewise unfathomable.

Even the Primal God Overlord would consult their opinions when making certain decisions.

Aside from these three, all the other gods argued incessantly.

“Enough. After cultivating the divine path for millions of years, you’re still this impetuous,” the Primal God Overlord said, waving his hand.

All the voices were suppressed.

“Lord of Stars and Four Symbols, the two of you speak. How should this matter be handled?”

Hearing this, the Lord of Stars smiled faintly.

He said, “I observed the celestial phenomena last night. Care to guess what I saw?”

“Purple Luan stands beside Heavenly Balance. Ravenous Wolf breaks the cauldron. Turbid Dragon darkens the sky.”

“At present, True Martial Sacred Ground is like a blazing sun. Shining upon the heavens. All things melt away. All matters give way.”

“What does Lord of Stars mean by this?” someone asked with a frown.

“Still don’t understand?” the Lord of Stars replied.

“True Martial Sacred Ground now follows the tide of great momentum. Even the Heavenly Court cannot block it. Let alone our Divine Court.”

“We may not necessarily be weaker than the Heavenly Court,” someone said unwillingly.

“Are you suggesting we avoid their sharp edge?” the Primal God Overlord asked.

“Can we compare ourselves to the High Heavens?” the Lord of Stars asked in return.

Everyone fell silent.

Although the Primal God Race was powerful, and although they were full of confidence, there was always the Heavenly Dao pressing down from above.

High Heaven was too strong.

No one dared to speak recklessly.

“You gods have stayed in this Divine Court for too long. Your minds have all gone dull,” the Lord of Stars said bluntly.

“If it truly comes to battle, who will oppose True Martial Progenitor?”

“The existence of the Three Selves seems to be something only the Holy Progenitor or the Immortal Lord can handle,” the Lord of Stars continued. “And judging from the current celestial signs of True Martial Sacred Ground, even the Heavenly Court has to give way. I seriously suspect that True Martial Progenitor is hiding his true strength. He definitely hasn’t revealed everything.”

These words startled everyone.

The power of True Martial Progenitor had not yet fully taken root in people’s minds.

After all, he had only just ascended from Absolute God Heaven.

His reputation was not yet widely known.

The hall fell into silence.

The Primal God Overlord was also deep in thought.

“Our Primal God Race still has trump cards. It’s not certain who would win,” some gods said unwillingly.

“Reckless, arrogant fools. You think True Martial Progenitor would dare defy the heavens without any trump cards, you idiots?!” the Four Symbols God-Lord retorted mercilessly.

“Are you trying to have True Martial Progenitor wipe out our Primal God Race before he even defies the heavens?”

“I think there’s something you needn’t fear,” the Four Symbols God-Lord continued.

“True Martial Progenitor will eventually go to defy the heavens. Once he leaves, True Martial Sacred Ground will be a toothless tiger and pose no threat to us.”

Hearing this, many felt much more at ease.

Even the Primal God Overlord began to nod.

He also felt that the Four Symbols God-Lord’s words made sense.

“In that case, I think we don’t need to let relations deteriorate. We could even send someone down to establish good relations with them.”

The gods nodded.

Clearly, they all agreed.

In the end, they decided to send the Lord of Stars to make contact.

After all, the Lord of Stars held an exalted position.

Many people were willing to accept him.

…

Within True Martial Sacred Ground.

After settling down, the sect began to reorganize.

The disciples all came out, eager to familiarize themselves with the Upper Heavens.

The True Martial Progenitor was fairly lenient. If disciples wished to gain experience, he rarely stopped them.

The sect master, Wang Tianheng, also sought instructions from the True Martial Progenitor.

After three days, the sect had stabilized.

Should they begin recruiting new disciples?

The True Martial Progenitor did not say much.

The current True Martial Sacred Ground was almost entirely entrusted to the younger generation. He had no desire to interfere.

After entering the Upper Heavens, they were all very busy.

They were busy preparing for the Heaven-Defying War.

In short, the entire True Martial Sacred Ground was bustling with activity.

Only Xu Zimo was different.

He did not need to defy the heavens, not yet, nor did he need to manage any sect affairs.

So he enjoyed his leisure.

After a month of rest and adjustment, Xu Zimo received a piece of news.

He then left True Martial Sacred Ground.

The inheritance of the Poison God Shebishi had appeared.

As an inheritance of an Ancient God, Xu Zimo had learned about it long ago.

The Poison God was a very strange Ancient God.

He was somewhat unsociable.

He even held grudges against other gods.

When Xu Zimo had obtained the inheritance of the Wood God Jumang, he had learned that the Wood God had been killed by the Poison God.

Moreover, the Poison God did not leave behind just one inheritance. It was said there were thousands, even tens of thousands.

Unfortunately, most of these inheritances were merely decoys set up by the Poison God.

Only where his poison beast appeared was the true inheritance site.

The reason Xu Zimo was going this time was because someone had seen the poison beast within an inheritance.

It was said that the poison beast had run along the eastern coastline for three months straight before finally disappearing along a stretch of the Eastern Sea’s coast.

It was there that people discovered yet another inheritance of the Poison God.

…

This time, Xu Zimo brought only one person with him.

That person was Ji Zhan.

He claimed to be a disciple of Lin Ruhu.

This time, Xu Zimo was heading to the Three Corpse Burial Ground to save Lin Ruhu.

The Poison God’s inheritance was merely a side objective along the way.

Xu Zimo also took the opportunity to gather some information.

Along the journey, Xu Zimo encountered many people.

They all seemed to be heading for the Poison God’s inheritance.

Xu Zimo sensed that this trip would involve fierce competition.

The Upper Heavens were almost infinitely vast.

After flying for seven years, the two arrived before a large sea.

This was the Eastern Sea.

Following the Eastern Sea downstream would lead to the place where the Poison God’s inheritance had appeared.

Along the Eastern Sea coast, billions of immortal spirit ships were docked.

It was clear that these people were quite adept at doing business.
