In the end, Angel Xingyao and the others couldn't out-argue Lin Tianming and agreed to his request.

As soon as the Holy Origin Spirit King received the message, she immediately informed the Thunder Dragon Emperor. The Thunder Dragon Emperor, who had stepped into the realm of a True God, arrived in front of Lin Tianming and the group in an instant.

Upon arrival, she saw Lin Tianming's depleted state of Spiritual Energy and displayed a look of guilt.

"Tianming, I'm sorry, I arrived too late!"

"It's alright; I've only exhausted my Spiritual Energy and am not injured. It seems that your recent closed-door training has been quite fruitful; you're much stronger than when you first broke through to True God status!"

With Lin Tianming changing the subject like that, the Thunder Dragon Emperor happily shared her cultivation experiences during her retreat.

"I had just broken through to True God during the battle at the Mechanical Divine Country, and my aura wasn't stable. After this period of seclusion, I've completely stabilized!"

"To be able to slay ordinary True Gods with an unstable aura, now that you've completely settled, you must be even stronger! Dragon Empress Sister, once you reach the Peak of True God, you'll surely be on par with Angel Sister and the others!"

This was the first time Lin Tianming addressed the Thunder Dragon Emperor as sister since they met.

The Thunder Dragon Emperor had sworn deathly allegiance to Lin Tianming after being saved by him.

Now that Lin Tianming called her this way, her loyalty nearly exploded off the charts!

Her cheeks blushed slightly: "Tianming, you flatter me too much, I... how can I compare to Angel Xingyao and Lord Spirit King? It's already great being able to follow you!"

"Alright, now that the Thunder Dragon Emperor is here as well, Spirit King Sister, is it not time for you to assign a task to me and my people?"

My... my people?

She became Lin Tianming's… person?

The Thunder Dragon Emperor's pretty face reddened even more when she heard Lin Tianming refer to her as "my people" while conversing with the Ten Thousand Sword Spirit King.

In her heart, she secretly vowed to protect Lin Tianming with all her might, valuing his life even above her own!

The Ten Thousand Sword Spirit King observed Lin Tianming's drained state for a moment before assigning him a relatively safer task.

"Tianming, you and your people go help those Spiritual Power Ascenders within the borders of the Spiritual Power Divine Country who have been infected by the Deceitful God Aura, and stop those Ascenders trying to probe into the Deceit God World — that's not something they can simply pry into!"

Just this?

Lin Tianming thought the Ten Thousand Sword Spirit King would assign him a combat mission, but it turned out to be an easy medic task...

It seemed that even with the Thunder Dragon Emperor assisting him, the Ten Thousand Sword Spirit King was still worried that if Lin Tianming encountered unforeseen dangers with his depleted Spiritual Energy, he might not be able to cope.

Despite being surprised at the ease of the task assigned to him, Lin Tianming understood the Ten Thousand Sword Spirit King's good intentions.

"Mm, then the Thunder Dragon Emperor and I will go assist your Spiritual Power Ascenders and rescue those who have been polluted by the Deceitful God Aura, doing our best to stop more Ascenders from attempting the suicidal act of probing into the Deceit God World!"

Seeing Lin Tianming calmly accepting the task she assigned, the Ten Thousand Sword Spirit King felt a sigh of relief.

She was genuinely worried about Lin Tianming wanting to fight while being energy-depleted.

Next, as the supreme being of the Spiritual Power Divine Country, the Ten Thousand Sword Spirit King gave a few precautions to everyone present and then went on to clearly delegate tasks to resolve crises in various parts of the Spiritual Power Divine Country.

With the Thunder Dragon Emperor accompanying him, Lin Tianming could appear at any place within the Spiritual Power Divine Country.

For those Ascenders recently infected with the Deceit God's corruption and not too deeply corroded, Lin Tianming could purify them completely.

Those who were nearly fully eroded and had fallen into utter madness, Lin Tianming could only offer them liberation.

Hoping if they have a next life, they would not suffer such torture.

Those Ascenders who had not yet been infected were also spontaneously taken by Lin Tianming and the Thunder Dragon Emperor to seek refuge in any of the Bright Holy Mountain, Dark Netherworld, Wind Language Temple, or Ten Thousand Sword Divine Palace.

Since many other Ascended Gods were carrying out this task, the workload for Lin Tianming and the Thunder Dragon Emperor was not heavy.

During this period, Lin Tianming and the Thunder Dragon Emperor also tried their best to search for Ascenders attempting to spy on the Deceit God World.

The Ascenders they found didn't heed Lin Tianming's advice at all.

Like being possessed by demons, they fervently and crazily yearned to pry into the secrets of the Deceit God World.

"That place... as long as I can glimpse into it... to obtain the knowledge and secrets of a higher plane existence... I... I could evolve toward a higher form of consciousness and life!"

"I want to evolve... evolve... evolve! Don't stop me... I want to enter that higher plane and become one of them!"

"You understand nothing! Our Spiritual Power Ascender form is restricted by this lower-plane world... Only by entering that majestic and vast world... can we achieve true Spiritual Power Ascension!"

Watching this group of Spiritual Power Ascenders, brainwashed into madness by the grand narratives of the Deceit Gods, Lin Tianming was utterly indifferent.

"Dragon Empress, aid me!"

Not her first time fighting alongside Lin Tianming, the Thunder Dragon Emperor immediately responded to his call.

Their powers merged, and a grand and holy light of Spiritual Power was released by Lin Tianming.

"All day, indulging in grand narratives, never knowing self-improvement, you will only become the prey of Deceit Gods; their world has no vessel to carry you!"

"Peering into their world, they will not share anything with you. They will only drain your Spiritual Energy, turning you into nourishment for themselves!"

"Let me, Lin Tianming, bring you back to your senses!"

Boom!

Under the enveloping Light of Spiritual Power Ascension, those Spiritual Power Ascenders bewitched by the Deceit Gods, whether they had ascended to godhood or not, showed expressions of extreme agony.

The Deceit God who had seduced them was resisting Lin Tianming's purification of the Spiritual Power Ascenders.

"Tianming, it seems someone is controlling them from behind, opposing your power!"

The Thunder Dragon Emperor had also discerned the crux of the issue, and Lin Tianming told her not to panic.

"It's okay, Dragon Empress, channel your True God Power with all your strength. I want to see... who exactly is secretly influencing the minds of these Spiritual Power Ascenders!"

"Okay!"

The Thunder Dragon Emperor channeled her True God Power with all her might, merging with the newly recovered power of Lin Tianming's Spiritual Power Ascension, still unleashing a peak True God's majesty.

Soon, those Spiritual Power Ascenders resisting the purification started to regain their senses one by one.

The first Spiritual Power Ascenders to awaken were confused, but as more and more awoke and saw that others yet to awaken were undergoing purification, they began to understand what was happening.

"It's... it's that young man who saved us!"

"My God! His Ascending Power can actually merge with the power of a Genetic Ascension God. That's incredible!"

"Thank you, great hero, for saving our lives!"

Lin Tianming didn't have the time to respond to these Spiritual Power Ascenders; he was searching for the hidden mastermind lurking deeper still.

With the support of the Thunder Dragon Emperor's power, Lin Tianming unleashed his Spiritual Energy to its full extent.

Before long, his consciousness scanned over the entire realm of the Spiritual Power Divine Country.

Any individuals within his scan attempting to peer into the Deceit God World and who had been bewitched into madness were remotely purified by him.

After a while, Lin Tianming finally found the key to the madness of the Spiritual Power Ascenders.

Those no longer desiring to sense the Deceit God World all had a faint sickly-green thread silently escaping from within them.

"Think you can escape? Not so easy!"

Under Lin Tianming's pursuit, these dark green threads swiftly gathered, condensing into a sinister dark green Demon Fire, sending chills down one's spine.

This scene immediately reminded Lin Tianming of the battle images from the Ten Thousand Sword Divine Palace depicting the self-sealing battle from a millennium ago.

The mysterious Deceit God, who had intercepted all Mechanical Ascension God reinforcements supporting the Spiritual Power Divine Country, and this nauseatingly green Demon Fire were identical!
