Yun Che understood that he would never be able to reach the True God realm unless he evolved his body to the level of a True God.
His soul was already that of a True Dragon God, yet his body was that of a mortal. This was one of the reasons why he could never display the full strength of his soul; his body was holding it back.
Remaking his body into a True God was easy; he could have done it easily with the help of Menu, but he wanted more.
Just the body of a True God was not enough; he wanted a body beyond that of a True God!
That's when he remembered the Heavenly Tribulation.
Heaven in Primal Chaos was a weird existence, which Yun Che did not understand, and the reason for this was simple; if the Ancestral Goddess was the one who made the Primal Chaos and everything inside it, then who was heaven? Where did it come from? Was Heaven stronger than the Ancestral Goddess, or was it another product of the creation of the Ancestral Goddess?
Yun Che did not know. And Mars never bothered explaining it either. It simply exists to make Yun Che more powerful in the original, and it was treated as if it never existed after that.
No matter the answer, from his knowledge, Yun Che knew that Heaven existed at the same time when the Ancestral Goddess created Primal Chaos.
It existed even before the birth of Creation Gods and True Gods, an existence that might have been born at the same time as the Ancestral Goddess.
Maybe a defensive mechanism created by the chaos outside of the Primal Chaos, the place where the Ancestral Goddess was born.
In any case, it was definitely stronger than the Creation Gods. Yun Che firmly believed that.
So it made him wonder, what if he created his body with the power of Heaven itself?
By using the heavenly law, he would reform his body beyond that of True Gods! Destroying his body and using the Heavenly Tribulation to reform a new body, the only problem was that in the process, he would lose his cultivation.
He was, after all, destroying his whole material body and remaking it from the start.
So he decided to prepare edible cultivation resources for himself, and who was better cultivation resources than the Divine Masters themselves? He had planned on using the existence of the Golden Crow and Phoenix to attract the attention of people and gather them in one place; sadly, not many took the bait.
But, as they say, knowledge is power.
Understanding the personality of Qianye Fantian, Yun Che decided to use him to provide him with cultivation resources.
First, take Ying'er on his side, and then use her soul connection with the Brahma Soul Bell to alert Qianye Fantian. While at it, destroy her connection with the Brahma Soul Bell and steal the core inheritance connected with Ying'er.
As someone who had once recreated his soul to that of a True Dragon God level, Yun Che understood the workings of souls more than anyone. So it was a simple task for him.
He knew Qianye Fantian would never come here personally, but he would use other people to gain information first. With the Eternal Heaven God Emperor present here, who would be better than the Eternal Heaven Realm itself?
And as Yun Che had predicted, the Eternal Heaven Guardian did come to rescue Zhou Xuzi.
After that, it was just him using them to destroy his body, using the Heavenly Tribulation to rebuild it, and then absorbing every single Divine Master to attain the highest level of strength within the Primal Chaos.
He was able to recreate his body and also rebuild his strength all at once.
"It feels like I can destroy planets with a simple wave of my hand alone…" Yun Che smiled. He could feel power filling his whole existence, and it was the purest form of the power of Heaven itself! "And this…"
Yun Che stared at his hand that crackled with black lightning, the purest lightning of heaven merged with the darkness profound energy.
He looked above and saw that the clouds had started to disperse. Due to his body made up of heavenly law itself, he was considered a part of heaven now.
So heaven didn't find any reason to attack him.
"Congratulations, my lord. You are the first mortal to ever reach the True God Realm." Xuerong appeared beside Yun Che, a rare smile formed over her face.
Even though Yun Che had not officially entered the realm of True God, he was a full-fledged True God existence wise.
It also matched Xuerong's wish. She wanted Yun Che to stop the Devil Empress, so the stronger he became, the happier she was.
"Why are you staring at me like this?" Yun Che smiled and looked towards Ying'er, who looked at him with unhidden burning desire.
She had been pursuing what Yun Che achieved her whole life, and even though he hadn't entered the True God realm, his existence had already become something beyond mortals. Ying'er could feel it.
He did not release any profound energy, nor could she feel his rank any longer. Just by standing close to him made her feel… weak.
Yun Che looked like the brightest enigma within Ying'er's eyes that she wanted to explore from inside out right now.
"Is it really possible?" Ying'er looked at Yun Che and asked, her voice filled with slight doubt.
"Nothing is impossible." Yun Che replied.
'As long as you have a cheat like mine… Well, I guess I would have reached the True God realm either way if I adhered to the original plotline.'
"Don't worry." Yun Che gently played with Ying'er's long and luscious hair with a soft smile on his face. "I don't treat my wives unfairly."
Ying'er's eyes narrowed before a smirk formed over her face.
"I would take your words for that then." She looked down at the people that had gathered for Caiyi's coronation and said. "What do you want to do with them? If you let them go now, they will definitely spread the news of your existence to the whole world. It's better to place a Slave Imprint on all of them."
"No, it's alright." Yun Che also looked at the people below and replied. "I want them to spread my existence. I want the whole world to come after me; it saves me a lot of time."
"What about the Eternal Heaven Realm?"
"Of course, it belongs to me now." Yun Che chuckled. "Come, it's time to take the Eternal Heaven Pearl from them."
He looked at Xuerong and said.
"Create a teleportation array within the Snow Song Realm and Flame God Realm for the Profound Sky Continent and Illusory Demon Realm, respectively. Caiyi will take care of the Flame God Realm with JinYan and Meiyan helping her, as for others, I want you to take care of them."
Xuerong frowned slightly.
"Can I not come with you, my lord?"
"Do you think something will happen to me?"
"... I understand. Then please be safe." Xuerong bowed and left with Xuanyin.
Yun Che looked towards Ying'er and smiled.
"Let's go. We have a Heavenly Treasure to take care of."
