Fang Yang's Emperor Realm cultivation gradually receded.
The suffocating pressure in the room also vanished, leaving only a profound tranquility.
His voice was steady: "Senior Liu Yang, Uncle Tao, I hope you will keep your word."
"Fang Yang, rest assured."
Liu Yang solemnly promised, his tone carrying an undeniable earnestness, "Since we chose to be frank with you, we will never break our trust."
Su Tao nodded heavily from the side, his expression serious.
Fang Yang nodded slightly and said, "Since that's the case, let's get down to business."
"Good."
Liu Yang nodded when he heard this.
Fang Yang asked, "Is it impossible to Breakthrough to Divine Rank in the Douluo Plane?"
"Yes."
Liu Yang's tone was heavy, "In the current Douluo Plane, to Breakthrough the mortal limit and achieve Divine Rank, there are only four paths to take."
He slowly explained: "First, inheriting a God Position; second, gathering the Power Of Faith of all living beings to forge a God Position with Power Of Faith."
"Third, relying on the ultimate sublimation of one's own Bloodline Power to achieve a Supreme God Position."
"Fourth, with absolute strength and comprehension, understanding Law, and creating one's own God Position!"
Fang Yang's eyes flickered, and he fell into thought.
With the God Realm gone, the path to God Position Legacy was cut off, unless there were leftover God Positions.
However, even if the God Realm hadn't disappeared, Tang San wouldn't allow others to become Gods!
As for becoming a God through faith, that was even more impossible; the Power Of Faith on the continent was basically monopolized by Sea God Tang San.
Achieving Godhood through a Supreme Bloodline was the path for the Spirit Beast race.
The path of self-created God Positions, under the suppression of the Plane Lord Tang Hao, had long been completely sealed off.
Liu Yang saw Fang Yang's concerns and said, "Fang Yang, you don't need to worry, we have already made preparations."
"No, I'm not worried."
Fang Yang's expression was calm, his tone filled with absolute confidence.
"So that's it."
Liu Yang heard this, as if remembering something, and a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes.
"What exactly are the backup plans you've prepared?" Fang Yang asked directly.
He was indeed curious about what kind of trump cards the seven consciousnesses of the Plane Spirit had prepared.
Liu Yang took a deep breath and slowly uttered four words: "God Position Legacy."
"God Position Legacy?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Fang Yang's eyes.
This was indeed beyond his expectation. He hadn't thought that the seven consciousnesses possessed such profound Legacy.
"These God Position Legacies are our last trump card." Liu Yang's tone carried a hint of solemnity.
Fang Yang pondered for a moment and asked, "What kind of God Positions are there?"
Before Liu Yang could answer, Su Tao already spoke: "We originally prepared the God Position of النهاية for you, but now it seems… you no longer need it."
His tone carried a hint of barely concealed reverence, "The Anomalous King who traverses planes, the Formless Dominator who controls fate!"
"Are there other God Positions?"
Fang Yang frowned slightly, pondering in his heart.
The number of God Positions he needed was simply too many; a single God Position of النهاية could not satisfy his demands.
"This…"
Su Tao looked troubled, turning to Liu Yang. Some matters were not for him to decide.
Liu Yang spoke at the right moment: "Lan, let me speak next."
Su Tao nodded and took a step back.
"I can decide to give you all the God Positions." Liu Yang looked at Fang Yang, his gaze profound.
"What are the conditions?"
Fang Yang retorted directly; he knew there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world.
"Besides the God Position of النهاية, which is our welcoming gift to show our sincerity."
Liu Yang said in a deep voice, "The other God Positions require you to agree to do one thing for us."
"Speak." Fang Yang said, his expression calm.
"We need you to help us slay Tang Hao and reclaim the authority of the Plane Lord; and in the future, to resist Sea God Tang San and his God Realm."
Liu Yang's voice carried an undeniable resolve.
"I can."
Fang Yang did not hesitate and agreed directly.
Liu Yang, upon hearing this, actually bowed slightly and solemnly said, "Zi, on behalf of the living beings of this plane, thank you, Lord Fang Yang. We will never forget your kindness."
"Senior Liu Yang, there's no need for such courtesy; we are merely taking what we need." Fang Yang replied calmly, his expression as serene as the wind.
"Good."
Liu Yang straightened up and said no more.
He raised his hand and gestured, his spirit power surging around him.
A golden orb of light, flowing with countless runes and containing vast Divine Rank fluctuations, appeared out of thin air.
"These are all the God Positions; please accept them."
Fang Yang took the orb of light, his Divine Thought stirring slightly.
Instantly, he sensed the various distinct yet equally powerful and profound God Positions contained within it.
"Also, there is one thing I need to remind you of."
Liu Yang continued, his expression becoming serious, "That young man next to you named Tang Wu Lin, his true identity is actually…"
"The Sea God's son." Fang Yang interjected calmly.
"You know?"
A clear surprise flashed in Liu Yang's eyes, then turned into understanding, "Of course, with your heaven-defying abilities, it would be strange if you didn't know."
"What about the Silver Dragon King and the future of the Spirit Beast race…?" Liu Yang spoke again, his tone inquisitive.
Fang Yang said lightly, "I will pay attention; you don't need to worry."
Liu Yang nodded when he heard this, tactfully refraining from asking further.
"Oh, right."
He seemed to recall something and flipped his palm again.
Brilliant golden light converged, gradually forming a scepter with an ancient design, covered in mysterious runes.
"This is a small token of our appreciation, and also a form of compensation for you. We hope you like it."
Fang Yang took the scepter, feeling the immense power it contained.
He nodded slightly: "Thank you, Senior Liu Yang, I accept it."
Afterward, Fang Yang placed the orb of light carrying the God Position Legacy and the scepter into the fire pearl space within his body.
"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave." Fang Yang gestured to the two.
"Good."
Liu Yang nodded in agreement.
With that, Fang Yang bowed and turned to leave the room.
In the corridor, his figure swayed slightly, and he suddenly covered his mouth with his hand, a gush of crimson blood seeping through his fingers.
Fang Yang took a deep breath, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and a hint of fatigue flashed in his eyes.
"The Emperor Realm aura is truly too terrifying…"
He murmured to himself, his voice only audible to him.
The Emperor Realm pressure that had just awed the entire scene was forcefully elevated by leveraging the power of the supreme treasure, the fire pearl.
The price was that his Meridians felt like they were burning, his Qi and blood surged in reverse, and he had sustained a considerable internal injury.
Fang Yang had no choice; in this game of chess, without an equivalent display of strength, any so-called cooperation would only devolve into being a pawn at the mercy of others.
He had to display power strong enough to command the attention of the Plane Spirit itself to earn the right to equal dialogue, or even dominance.
In the Heavenly Spirit Pagoda room at the Spirit Transfer Pagoda headquarters.
Su Tao looked at Liu Yang, his brows tightly furrowed, his tone filled with confusion: "Zi, why did you… deceive him?"
"You and I both know that with our fragmented Plane authority, it's impossible for us to secretly probe Fang Yang's true capabilities."
"Lan, we had no choice."
Liu Yang sighed, "If I didn't push him, making Fang Yang display his terrifying strength, we… wouldn't have had any chance of winning."
Tang Hao inherited the Plane Lord position, and his Realm reached the Second Rank God Realm!
If he unleashed his full power, his combat strength would likely reach the First Rank God Realm.
And behind the scenes, that one, the first-generation Asura and Sea God, the "pure and flawless," "open and upright," "respectful to teachers," and "two-faced double standard" Tang God King!
