Master of Strange Dao

He was already seriously injured, and now his golden body was polluted by filth, causing his strength to plummet dramatically.

His power fell to the mere one or two tier levels, and even if Yu Ziqing did not use the Magical Treasure in his hand to seal him, he wouldn't be able to do anything.

The earth lost its physical form, and his power dropped sharply, transforming into a drifting old man who glared angrily at Yu Ziqing, maintaining a righteous appearance.

However, he could not speak, nor could he move, and could only be taken away by Yu Ziqing.

Yu Ziqing held his breath in his chest.

If it were a proper Evil God, he would not hesitate to kill him. Even if this earth was directly killed, he wouldn't hesitate.

He held his breath, determined to win this confrontation no matter what.

If he couldn't best this earth, he wouldn't be able to best the people of the world.

He couldn't win against this world of ghosts.

Killing was the simplest, but some things couldn't be solved just by killing.

Yu Ziqing, taking the earth along, abandoned the idea of causing trouble in other City God territories and headed straight for Dingmao City.

Those few who abetted the wicked only cared about the return of Dadui and believed everything was under their control.

There should be someone in Dingmao City.

With the trinket in hand, Yu Ziqing dared to go, whether the person was there or not.

Yu Ziqing was now going to act as the bad apple spoiling the bunch.

Wasn't the Emperor Dui trying to walk the Incense Fire Dao? Well, go ahead, if you succeed, count it as my loss.

On the road, the Big Ghost, carrying the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, remained silent for the entire journey. As they approached Dingmao City, the Big Ghost suddenly spoke.

"Master, I want to transform into a starving ghost."

"Why do you suddenly think so?"

"You once told me that no one can receive the incense fire of a starving ghost.

It's not just me; the starving ghosts in the Ten Thousand Soul Banner also wish to transform.

I want to follow you and pay respects to the Emperor Dui."

"If you transform into a starving ghost, there's a high possibility you'll become an ordinary starving ghost."

"I don't care about my power; it came from other starving ghosts.

We have a great hatred for the former Prefectural Governor, that's true.

We are dissatisfied with the Dadui court, and that's also true.

Emperor Dui is a fool, and he can't represent Dadui.

No matter our dissatisfaction, we never wanted to completely destroy Dadui.

Criticizing is one thing; killing is one thing. From the beginning until now, I never thought of destroying Dadui just because of our dissatisfaction.

Now, the Emperor Dui and the Earth Deities are destroying Dadui.

So I want them dead.

Be it natural disasters or man-made calamities, at least we are all resisting.

I just see this lifeless, hopeless world, and it feels terrible in my heart.

This is definitely not what we wanted, even though we were alive and starved to death because of those greedy officials.

I don't want to see this Dadui in front of me."

"The choice is yours; I won't force you to choose anything, but there's no rush now.

If you transform now and lose your current power, I might not feel secure without a Ninth Tier by my side."

Yu Ziqing spoke candidly.

The Big Ghost smiled and nodded.

"As long as you agree, master."

Yu Ziqing hurried all the way to the vicinity of Dingmao City. Seeing the magnificent city, the breath in his chest grew heavier.

Grand and atmospheric, filled with Divine Light intersecting, the city was heavily fortified. The vast incense fire energy hanging above Dingmao City turned into Qingyun, resembling neither smoke nor cloud, and it obstructed his view.

What Yu Ziqing saw in other cities paled in comparison to this place.

And this wasn't even within the Earth Deity Divine Country.

Even from the outside, such a spectacle could be seen; one could only imagine the scene inside the Earth Deity Divine Country.

In the normal world, it seemed impossible to sneak in. Yu Ziqing remotely took out the ancestral hall, and outside its presence, the halo flowed. At this moment, the ancestral hall existed both in the normal world and the Earth Deity Divine Country.

Yu Ziqing took a step forward, entering the Earth Deity Divine Country.

In this world, the scenery of Dingmao City was even more exaggerated compared to the outside.

In the sky, countless rosy clouds hung from the Qingyun, while a nine-layer high tower soared from the ground within Dingmao City, towering several times higher than the city's walls.

The endless rosy clouds in the Qingyun above linked with the nined-layer high tower.

A continuous stream of power supplied the nine-layer high tower.

On the side of Dingmao City stood a much smaller seven-layer high tower, presumably the foundation of the City God of Dingmao City.

The nine-layer one was definitely reserved by the Emperor Dui for himself.

The Big Seal in Yu Ziqing's hand grew dimmer here, and the power within it faintly showed signs of being siphoned away.

Yu Ziqing put away the Big Seal and sighed.

The Emperor Dui was truly courting death; he never considered the future.

Nor did he think whether Dadui could still exist.

He was burning the national fortune of Dadui, burning the power of Dadui, devouring the worship of the world.

Such behavior, sacrificing the world for one person, Yu Ziqing often equated it with the term Demon or the synonymous term, Deities.

The Emperor Dui indeed had the potential to become a God.

Yu Ziqing didn't know why, but Earth Deity and Deities should be two different existences.

Yet, when he saw that piece of Qingyun, he felt the Emperor Dui aimed to become a Deity.

Where did he get the method to become a God?

Were humans capable of becoming Deities?

Something wasn't right, very abnormal.

Yu Ziqing carried the ancestral hall, quietly sneaking into the Dingmao City within the Divine Country.
