"For a long time, Shattering the Void and entering the God Realm has been Nie Chu’s dream."

"For that, he has put in far too much effort."

"He even stepped into the peak of the Ghost Emperor Realm ahead of time."

"Yet regarding the signs recorded in ancient texts that precede ascending to the God Realm, Nie Chu has not felt even the slightest trace."

"In this moment, he panicked."

"He truly panicked."

"He even began to worry whether, over these years, he had not done enough good deeds, that his fortune was insufficient, and that was why he could not ascend to the God Realm."

"If that were truly the case—"

"Then Nie Chu would completely collapse!"

"He had already worked for a very long time accumulating fortune through good deeds. If even that was not enough, he truly did not know what else he could do to meet the requirement of abundant fortune."

"So Nie Chu thought of Ye Yu, and thus the present scene came to be."

"Of course, his earlier words were not exaggerated."

"He truly wanted to see what Ye Yu would be like after reaching the Emperor Realm."

"A reincarnated one? Incomparably powerful?"

"Heh. Having achieved the Emperor Realm himself, Nie Chu had his own pride."

"He had seen far too many powerful figures in this lifetime, and all of them had fallen at his feet."

"Even if Ye Yu was a reincarnated one, he would be no exception."

"Thus, Nie Chu had genuinely planned to ignore Ye Yu and Zheng Ya."

"When they achieved the Emperor Realm and came to kill him—"

"He would then strike like thunder and show them just how laughable their plan was before his power."

"Only now, Nie Chu could no longer wait for that day."

"He desperately wanted to know the method of ascending to the God Realm."

"Even if his current behavior was somewhat despicable, he did not care in the slightest!"

"Nie Chu only wanted to Shatter the Void and ascend to the God Realm!"

Seeing how urgent he was, a bold idea suddenly formed in Ye Yu’s mind.

"Does this count as your dream?"

Hearing this, Nie Chu instantly understood what Ye Yu meant.

Although he had not taken action against Ye Yu and Zheng Ya during this period, it did not mean he had not been observing them.

Nie Chu had already determined that the reason Ye Yu’s strength rose so rapidly must be connected to fulfilling the dreams of others.

Otherwise, Zheng Ya would not have gone to such lengths to find ghosts and have Ye Yu fulfill their dreams.

If that were the case—

Then Ye Yu should also help him, shouldn’t he?

At this thought, Nie Chu was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, this is my dream! I dream every day of Shattering the Void and ascending to the God Realm! Help me, will you?"

Ye Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.

There was no doubt—if he fulfilled Nie Chu’s dream, the reward would be unimaginably generous.

It might even allow him to step directly into the Ghost Emperor Realm.

He was about to strike it rich. Truly strike it rich.

Zheng Ya, who was still held in Nie Chu’s embrace, immediately grew anxious and shouted,

"You can’t do this! I want him to die—"

Before she could finish, Nie Chu directly covered her mouth and sealed her speech entirely with ghost power.

"Ye Yu, help me. I will let her go. You will not {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} be betraying your promise. All right?"

Nie Chu’s voice was already trembling faintly.

He truly feared that Ye Yu would soften for Zheng Ya’s sake and refuse to help him.

"Sure."

Ye Yu agreed with a bright smile.

Then he quietly transmitted his voice to Zheng Ya through heart-speech.

"Relax. I know what I’m doing. Since I promised to kill him, he will definitely die. When he is about to ascend to the God Realm, I will strike."

Hearing this, Zheng Ya immediately fell silent.

Nie Chu was straightforward as well. Seeing Ye Yu agree, he directly released his grip and let Zheng Ya go on the spot.

To avoid arousing suspicion, she continued waving frantically toward Ye Yu.

Nie Chu flicked his sleeve and sent her flying a thousand meters away.

He then hurried to Ye Yu and asked eagerly,

"What exactly should I do? Teach me."

"Follow me in cultivation for one hundred days and there will be results. But you must be sincere and maintain reverence toward heaven and earth. Can you do that?"

Ye Yu began speaking nonsense without hesitation.

Upon reaching the peak of the Emperor Realm, one would Shatter the Void and ascend to the God Realm. That was a law.

What method or technique was there?

It merely required time.

Ye Yu glanced at Nie Chu and immediately concluded that the man was simply too impatient.

If he waited, he would surely sense the faint summoning.

But such truth was something Ye Yu would never reveal.

He wanted Nie Chu to feel grateful. Only then would it likely meet the standards of a true dream fulfillment.

Such a fat fish—there was no way Ye Yu would let it slip.

Nie Chu nodded repeatedly.

"I can! I definitely can!"

His attitude was excellent.

At that moment, Yue Ziwei suddenly stepped forward and approached behind Nie Chu, speaking in a low voice.

"Sect Master, there is an important matter I must report to you."

"Get lost. What could possibly be more important than my exchange with Senior?"

Nie Chu turned and glared at Yue Ziwei in irritation.

His eyes were filled with disdain and disgust.

I am about to become a god. What important matter could there possibly be in this Underworld?

He cursed inwardly before turning back toward Ye Yu, his face carrying a flattering smile.

Just as he was about to speak—

A sudden sharp pain exploded from behind him.

A massive axe swept through the air, nearly severing Nie Chu’s soul body at the waist.

Ghost qi began pouring out of the wound in great quantities.

The sudden change caught even Ye Yu off guard. He stared at Nie Chu in disbelief.

Wasn’t that your most trusted confidant? Why was he swinging an axe at your back?

Nie Chu immediately retreated and took out several pills, swallowing them in quick succession to suppress his injuries.

But something unexpected happened.

Not only did the pills have no effect, they caused his soul body to become even more unstable.

The sight filled Nie Chu with terror as he stared at the pill bottle in his hand.

That couldn’t be right. He had gone to immense lengths to obtain these pills. How could they be poisoned?

At that moment, a pleasant voice rang out.

"Stop looking. Your Spring Orchid Tribulation Pill is fine. The problem lies with Yue Ziwei’s Heaven-Seizing Axe."

Zheng Ya approached slowly. Not only had she broken the speech-sealing technique, she also took out a black flower and slapped it onto the giant axe in Yue Ziwei’s hand.

She smiled and continued,

"Ghost Shadow Severing Flower combined with Spring Orchid Tribulation—when fused together, they form the most lethal poison in the Underworld."

Nie Chu staggered half a step back in horror, his soul body showing further signs of dispersal.

As for Ye Yu, his expression turned strange.

Wait.

You don’t trust me at all, do you? You asked me for help, and now you brought someone to strike first yourself. What am I supposed to be in this arrangement?
