Apotheosis

The one who controlled the Chilling Bone Land had the privilege of choosing and recruiting talents in the chaos before anyone else.

This privilege was only enjoyed by the Nihility race, though they were always known for being extremely picky.

Those who were selected by the Nihility race were often outstanding warriors with terrifying and unique abilities, or their spokespersons in the chaos.

Expressions of curiosity were plastered over the faces of the Other Shore creatures present.

Who was this Evil God? He was a mere youth who hadn't even reached the Eternal Realm yet. How was he recruited by the Nihility race?

To think that he was also asking this other human youth from the Oneness Sky Palace to join the Nihility race!

Of course, these things had nothing to do with the Other Shore creatures but they strained their ears to listen out of sheer curiosity.

"From what you know of me, do you think I can be persuaded?" Zen asked as the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile.

The Evil God was born from Zen's inner world and he had been there for a long time so of course he knew him quite well.

In fact, it could be said that he spent most of his life trying to figure out how Zen's mind, as the God of Creation, worked.

Given his extensive knowledge of Zen's personality, the Evil God was quite sure that it was going to be impossible to convince him to join the Nihility race.

Any sort of sweet-talking would only result in disappointment.

The Evil God shook his head. "I know I may not be able to talk you into this, but I know someone who can."

Zen raised an eyebrow, clearly intrigued by this sudden ace that his creation held. "Pray tell, who is this person?"

The Evil God smiled and took two steps back. As his toes lightly tapped on the bronze ground, he lay down on the blood-red ball and Zen watched as it slowly wrapped around his body and completely sucked him in.

"Buzz..."

After the blood-red ball which carried the Evil God left, the last of the three, blood-red balls slowly floated over.

The first blood-red ball carried Samantha, the second carried the Evil God while the third...

A trace of curiosity glinted in Zen's eyes as he wondered who was within that third ball. Who exactly was this person the Evil God was so confident in?

His questions would be answered soon enough. A black figure began to slowly emerge from the ball but when that person appeared, a strange aura permeated everyone's hearts. It felt as if their thoughts were

is own.

He had already met with a lot of powerful human warriors these past few months so he wasn't really that nervous in facing off against the Grandmaster of Heaven. Besides, contrary to his grand name, the Grandmaster of Heaven wasn't imposing at all and looked quite approachable.

"I wanted to invite you to our Nihility race. If you join us, you will have everything you could ever want," the Grandmaster of Heaven promised.

"Everything?" Zen repeated skeptically. "Do you know what it is that I want?"

Zen left the divine land for the sake of the Nine Li race.

However, after his trip to the Pear Hill, he realized that there were some goals that were still far beyond his reach. The world wasn't as simple as he had first thought and there was the existence of an Other Shore.

It was just as the Snake Goddess said: the most urgent thing was not reviving the Nine Li race, but completing the Finale Way. Because if the chaos was destroyed, nothing could be done.

"Of course I know," the Grandmaster of Heaven said, his deep eyes penetrating deep within Zen's heart. "I can help you rebuild the Nine Li race and restore it to its glory. I can even make your grandfather Chiyou come back to life. I can make all that you want yours, so what do you think?"

If ever the Grandmaster of Heaven followed his promise and revived Chiyou, the one he would revive was the Chiyou of this round of chaos.

Such a feat was not easy, especially since the Nine Li race was a super force. It should also be taken into account that the Nihility race had to face pressure from the Element Spirit race. They truly wanted Zen to join them to have promised such things.
