From the moment Wu Liang made a bet with Mount Tai and the Ghost Compendium, he no longer avoided using the Law of Reality.

Especially after escaping from Da Yi, his proficiency in modifying became apparent. Wu Liang had grown increasingly adept at using the Law of Reality.

Upon hearing Wu Liang's voice, the First Emperor remained unperturbed, strolling leisurely in the middle of the Ocean without any unusual reaction.

He believed that Wu Liang reaching out to him suddenly must mean he had something special to say.

"If I can make Yue Du or Poseidon reveal themselves for a moment, can you seize the opportunity to kill or heavily injure them?" Wu Liang continued to inquire.

The First Emperor did not answer directly.

He simply nodded thoughtfully while walking, as if contemplating how to escape the current predicament.

Receiving a positive response from the other party, Wu Liang took a deep breath, focusing his gaze on the surface of the Ocean and the overhanging night sky.

An aura undetectable to anyone, completely in sync with the air, flowed through them.

Under the influence of the Law of Reality, Wu Liang's probing aura had merged with the world itself, making even Da Yi unlikely to notice any difference immediately.

Moments later, the aura encountered some kind of barrier.

Wu Liang's lips curved into a smile.

He whispered, "Modify."

Whoosh—

As soon as the words were spoken, a small puddle a hundred meters away from the First Emperor inexplicably dried up, revealing a puzzled man holding a trident standing within, at a loss.

In the infinite expanse of the night sky, as if a veil had been torn open, a sudden glow illuminated Yue Du beyond the night, turning her face deathly pale.

They were completely unaware that there was any issue with their law.

The flaw appeared so silently.

Yet, these two were long-renowned Great Venerables, and in just an instant, they repaired the emerging flaw.

Especially Yue Du, who Wu Liang had previously torn open her Dark Moon Night's veil when escaping from Da Yi; her pale little face was hidden behind the night again in less than half a second.

However, even with such a quick reaction, it was still a bit too late.

When Yue Du re-cast the night veil on herself, she abruptly saw a Black Dragon with a wide-open maw looming before her.

Poseidon, upon diving back into the Ocean, was shocked to find an emotionless Emperor standing at his landing spot, staring at him with sharp, blade-like eyes.

With lips slightly moving, he softly said, "Go catch up with Zeus down below; he's been waiting for you for a long time."

Boom—

Not only the sea at Poseidon's landing spot, but the entire seemingly boundless Ocean covering the plain surged as if boiling, accompanied by an earth-shattering roar.

In an instant, a vast amount of sea water evaporated into the air, forming a colossal steam cloud, rendering the plain like a human realm Immortal Realm.

Standing in the distance, Wu Liang felt the ground tremble as if it would collapse the next second.

The water vapor couldn't obscure Wu Liang's vision. He saw Poseidon being pounded into the ground, creating a large pit tens of meters in diameter, only to rebound into the mid-air and be struck down by an invisible force.

The entire Fierce Ghost's humanoid form quickly crumbled, resembling the time Wu Liang was turned to pulp by Zeus.

Only this time, it was even more miserable.

Poseidon's severed limbs and various missing parts were devoured by small Black Dragons even before they hit the ground.

"First... Emperor..."

A weak voice came from the clouds above. Wu Liang looked up to see the once celestial Yue Du falling from the sky.

Now she was covered in dark blue liquid, whether blood or some special internal substance, continuously gushing from her wounds.

Her delicate face was brutally mauled, with the left eye socket empty, the right eyeball hanging from her cheek, appearing ghastly.

A menacing Black Dragon pursued her, with one of Yue Du's eyeballs still hanging from its mouth.

It roared towards Yue Du, indifferent to any Dark Moon laws applied to it, eventually biting off one of Yue Du's legs.

"Poseidon... go!"

She screamed tragically, raising her hand and casting starlight specks onto the tormented Poseidon, as if plucking stars from the sky to hurl down.

Poseidon, touched by the starlight, began turning into countless stars, vanishing from sight. The blows the First Emperor was dealing now struck the ground heavily.

Boom—

In an instant, the ground completely cracked open.

Wu Liang and the First Emperor immediately turned their gaze towards Yue Du in the air.

At this moment, the Dark Moon law on this ghost lady had weakened to the point of not being able to maintain the endless night.

But she also lit up with starlight specks, her entire ghostly form turning into nothingness, disappearing from sight.

Even though Wu Liang tried to use the Law of Reality to modify immediately, he couldn't stop their escape.

After all, this was a direct application of Yue Du's law, and at the moment, Wu Liang's proficiency was still lacking a bit for such a modification.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have needed to flee from Da Yi earlier; he could have simply modified the Dark Sun to extinguish it.

"It's fine. They've been severely injured and won't be able to cause trouble for many years," the First Emperor said expressionlessly. "As for Da Yi, I will deal with him in due time, so you don't need to worry."

However, as he finished speaking, Wu Liang turned to him and solemnly said, "First Emperor, I have an unworthy request. Could you spare Da Yi? When I return here one day, I will personally shatter his soul!"

"..."

The First Emperor gazed into Wu Liang's eyes, not answering for a long while.

After a while, he sighed and said, "All right. After all, they pose no threat to me. But remember this—hatred can drive rapid progress, but indiscriminately absorbing all power due to hatred can also drag you into an endless abyss."

"Don't forget, I need you to witness the peak of the world for me."

The First Emperor was not concerned about Wu Liang's future inability to defeat Da Yi. The very act of making Yue Du and Poseidon appear baffled even him as to what kind of law of power it was, leading him to conclude that Wu Liang's ascent to the world's peak was just a matter of time.

Precisely because of this, he did not want Wu Liang to ruin his future by playing with unorthodox things, allowing his pure power to be tainted over a mere Da Yi.

"Rest assured, the next time you see me, I'll still be myself."

"I will always be me, nothing can change that."

Wu Liang's unwavering gaze pleased the First Emperor, who even nodded, raising his hand to pat Wu Liang on the shoulder.

At that moment, the First Emperor, who should have had an eternally indifferent imperial gaze, now looked as if a caring elder watched his junior grow, filled with gratification.

He did not ask what Wu Liang discussed with the "world" on Taishan Peak, nor how he planned to return to his original world.

After patting Wu Liang on the shoulder, he turned and walked towards Apang Palace, speaking plainly:

"Go, you have your tasks to accomplish. Do not let me, or the me in another world, down. I'm sure he, too, looks forward to seeing your world progress along the correct path."

"If, after carrying so many expectations, your world still becomes a failure, I will not forgive you."

With that, the First Emperor's voice faded away.

On this plain, other than the watermarks everywhere and the terrain devastated as if by an apocalypse, nothing seemed different from elsewhere, as if no one had ever been here, leaving only Wu Liang standing there, smiling to himself.

"I should count as having survived, right? Now send me back."

"I have to give the Supernatural Calamity of the reality world a ruthless shock!"

Whoosh—

An eerie book appeared before him, visible only to him.

Opening slowly, it revealed blank pages, just like before arriving here at the Human Ancestor Temple.

Wu Liang extended his hand into the depths of the book...
