Nie Chu was, after all, a Ghost Emperor Realm expert. Having reached this step, he was naturally experienced and perceptive.

Looking at Ye Yu’s silent expression, how could he fail to understand?

So he continued on his own, "You must think I have ulterior motives, correct? In truth, there is no need. Before the incident at Bitter Medicine Mountain, I also never believed that anyone would enjoy helping others fulfill their dreams."

"In fact, I do have a goal. I do good deeds for only one purpose: to Shatter the Void and Ascend to the God Realm."

"For that objective, whether you call me hypocritical or accuse me of putting on an act, it does not matter."

"As the saying goes, judge a gentleman by his actions, not his heart. If you judge by the heart, no one is perfect."

Ye Yu could not help but laugh.

"Who told you that doing good deeds allows one to Shatter the Void and Ascend to the God Realm?"

Nie Chu’s eyes lit up as he hurriedly replied, "You do not seem surprised by the term God Realm."

"So you also know about the God Realm, do you not?"

Ye Yu did not answer. He simply lifted his teacup and took a sip.

Afterward, he did not intend to continue keeping him in suspense.

After all, Nie Chu was powerful. If he dragged things out too much, the man might directly use the Soul Search Technique on him.

That would be dangerous.

There must be moderation in whetting someone’s appetite. Pull too hard, and it snaps.

However, just as Ye Yu was about to speak, Nie Chu spoke first.

"In my early years, I once ascended to the Celestial World. In a secret realm, I discovered an ancient text that recorded information about the God Realm."

"At the time, I did not believe it. I stubbornly thought the Ghost Emperor Realm was already the limit. How could gods possibly exist in this world?"

"But later, after further searching, I found more than one ancient record describing past experts’ yearning for the God Realm."

"Only then did I understand that the God Realm truly exists."

"So I began organizing all the information and eventually reached a conclusion."

"To Ascend to the God Realm, strength alone is insufficient. One must also possess profound blessings and immense fortune."

"The best way to alter one’s fate and fortune is to do more good deeds and deepen one’s wellspring of blessing."

"This path may be slow and clumsy, but it is the most stable."

"So I have persisted for nearly ten thousand years, all to exchange for a hope of Ascending to the God Realm."

"That is my objective."

Hearing this, Ye Yu blinked.

What a peculiar line of reasoning.

No, how exactly did he conclude that Ascending to the God Realm required doing good deeds?

Were those ancient books counterfeit?

What Nie Chu said next completely stunned Ye Yu.

"So, you are a reincarnated rebirth cultivator, correct?"

"Do not rush to deny it. I have investigated all your information. Your parents were ordinary ghosts, and your strength was mediocre. Yet after entering the mine, your cultivation soared dramatically."

"Thus it can be concluded that your great realm breakthroughs are related to fulfilling other people’s dreams, correct?"

Ye Yu’s heart trembled violently.

His experiences could not withstand scrutiny.

A sudden surge in strength within a short time was far too abnormal and impossible to reasonably explain.

And this fellow had truly been thorough.

He had even investigated him.

So what should he do now?

Given Nie Chu’s yearning for the God Realm, if he did not provide a clear answer—

The man might very well dissect him for research.

At that moment, Ye Yu’s mind raced at extreme speed.

Then, under Nie Chu’s expectant gaze, he nodded.

"That is correct. I am indeed a reincarnator."

"Before this life, I was only one step away from Ascending to the God Realm."

"Unfortunately, while Shattering the Void, I was ambushed by an enemy, and thus all my efforts fell short."

"Fortunately, the heavens favored me and granted my divine soul a sliver of survival, allowing me to reincarnate."

"And I retained my previous memories."

"But there is one thing you are wrong about."

"My cultivation has nothing to do with fulfilling dreams. It is entirely the result of my own effort. I merely concealed my cultivation before."

Nie Chu’s eyes became puzzled.

"That does not seem right. If so, why are you so obsessed with helping others—"

Before he could finish, Ye Yu cut him off.

"Helping others fulfill their dreams is merely to stabilize my Great Dao in advance. My Emperor Realm Great Dao is Dream Fulfillment."

"As long as I have a dream, I can realize it."

"I rely on the power of heaven and earth to assist me."

"As feedback, I must continuously help others fulfill their dreams."

"Only then will my Great Dao grow broader."

"It is a complementary cycle."

Ye Yu folded his hands together and assumed a solemn expression.

Whether Nie Chu believed it or not, this was the best explanation he could fabricate on the spot.

Fortunately, he had read countless novels in his youth, sharpening his ability to spin stories. Otherwise, he truly would not have known how to handle this.

Nie Chu suddenly clapped his hands.

"What an excellent Dream Fulfillment! I knew you were extraordinary. It turns out you have walked further on the path of Shattering the Void than I have. It is just somewhat unfortunate."

"But this is also our fate."

"We met as kindred spirits at first sight. Calling you Senior should not be excessive, correct?"

"Then, Senior, please evaluate for me whether my path of accumulating blessings through good deeds is perhaps unfeasible. I noticed you smiled earlier, as if with a hint of mockery."

Ye Yu gave an awkward laugh.

Now he wants an evaluation?

You have been doing good deeds for nearly ten thousand years. If I deny it now, would that not crush you?

So telling the truth was definitely not an option.

Ye Yu’s thoughts turned, and he said in a profound tone, "Each person’s way of Shattering the Void is different. As the saying goes, if you believe, it exists. If you do not believe, it does not. Accumulating blessings may very well be your best path."

"As long as you feel it is right, continue walking it."

"S-Senior!"

Nie Chu’s voice choked slightly, and his eyes reddened.

For nearly ten thousand years, whenever the night was quiet and still, he would question himself whether this path was correct.

He had been confused. He had been lost.

Now that a Senior affirmed his path, it was the greatest encouragement and recognition he could receive.

None of it had been in vain.

In his excitement, Nie Chu opened his arms, intending to hug Ye Yu.

But Ye Yu decisively dodged.

"Hey, do not get any strange ideas. I am not into that."

Two hours later.

Three Storage Rings had appeared in Ye Yu’s hand as he walked down the mine.

Originally, according to Nie Chu’s intention, he had planned to keep Ye Yu at the Soulfall Gate.

The two of them could progress together, Shatter the Void together, and step into the God Realm together.

If there were any difficulties in cultivation, it would be convenient to communicate and exchange insights.

During that period, all cultivation resources would be provided by Nie Chu.

Furthermore, "You like Dream Fulfillment, correct? I can help you select suitable ghosts, so you may help them fulfill their dreams on the spot. Would that not be wonderful?"

It could be said that Nie Chu was extremely sincere.

But Ye Yu still refused decisively and insisted on leaving.

What a joke. If I stay here helping others fulfill dreams, sooner or later you will notice something is wrong.

Then everything I said before will collapse on its own.

Ye Yu would never dig a pit for himself to jump into. Leaving was inevitable.

Though Nie Chu did not understand, he still gifted Ye Yu many heavenly treasures for cultivation.

He also stated that no matter what problems Ye Yu encountered in the future, he could come find him.

At the moment of parting, Nie Chu watched Ye Yu leave. Only after his figure completely disappeared did he reluctantly turn back.

At that moment, from the shadows, a graceful figure stepped out.

In a soft voice, she asked, "Do you believe him?"
