If it wasn’t for Li Yunmu, Rat and Old Bastard would probably still be inside the colosseum, working as warriors of the lowest run of society. If they had good luck, they might encounter a descendant from the four clans who would realize their worth and would bring them back as a servant or a hired thug. But if their luck was bad, they might get injured to the point of disability by some beast in the colosseum or even be killed. They were simply tools used to entertain others.

But ever since they started following Li Yunmu, not only had the lowest class people of lower city formed the Ground Clan, the two of them obtained positions of authority in the clan. Most importantly though, they had gained a god level cultivation base.

There was a saying in Lanlou that everyone except gods were fleeting clouds and would live their lives as ants. In Asura City, even among the descendants of the four clans, unless one was a direct descendant, they wouldn’t get an opportunity to become a god. The limit of branch family descendants was fixed at half god realm, and even then, they were still considered as servants.

They were unable to free themselves from their fetters, so what could even be said about the lowest class fighters?

Although Madam and Do Mingyan had been a part of Ground Clan for a very short period of time, they felt an intense sense of belonging toward it. Unlike Rat and Old Bastard who felt as if they had been pulled out from the pits of despair, their situation was much better, since they were the branch family descendants of the four clans.

However, exactly because of that status, both of them were only treated as servants within the clan and had to serve the direct descendants. Even if the two of them had become half gods, they still had to salute the direct descendants, even those with strength lower than theirs. But after they joined the Ground Clan, not only had Li Yunmu bestowed them with power of belief to become gods, he had even handed over a part of the authority to the two of them.

There was no classification system like that of direct and branch family descendants in the Ground Clan, which made their sense of belonging even stronger.

Rat shot a glance at the people of the four clans standing in the front and fighting against the gods of the five clans and said with fear, “Lord, the words of the patriarchs of the four clans were quite eccentric. I fear that they want to use the cover of the chaotic war to make a move toward you.”

During a chaotic melee, it was very easy to hide a murder. Even if it was investigated, there would be no clues left.

Li Yunmu lowered his head slightly, then extended his hand in the air and shook it slightly. A hint of peak god level presence erupted from it.

“Don’t worry. The four clan patriarchs aren’t my opponents. You four take advantage of the battle to protect yourself. Don’t die. Wait until I have finished another matter, then my main body will rendezvous with you.”

Once he said that, the four saw an almost formless human figure appear behind Li Yunmu and rush into Asura City at an extremely fast speed.

A hint of astonishment appeared in Rat’s eye, and he suddenly wanted to touch Li Yunmu standing in front of him.

When he stretched his hand, Li Yunmu’s body shuddered slightly, and his expression returned to normal. He then said to the four of them, “We will also join.”

After saying that, a weak god presence erupted from his body, and he rushed toward the center of the chaotic battlefield. The four shot him an astonished glance, then followed after.

Asura City had turned completely empty after the four clans had dispatched fifty god elders each to lead the descendants of their clan to escape Lanlou, while the Ground Clan had entered Li Yunmu’s heavenly world.

It could be said that Asura City was a ghost town at that moment.

Li Yunmu’s figure appeared at the gate of the upper city, then he made a beeline for the city lord’s mansion. If beyond the heavens were hiding in Asura City, it was completely impossible for them to be staying with the four clans. The four ancestors had rebelled, and Asura had lost all trust in them, so the only option was his own. Residence. The city lord’s mansion had the highest possibility of containing the people from beyond the heavens.

The few times Li Yunmu had entered the city lord’s mansion, he was pretending to be Chen Xiu and didn’t use his divine sense to investigate the place properly. Moreover, he hadn’t even known about the existence of beyond the heavens at that time.

After taking a few steps, Li Yunmu’s figure flickered on the street, and he reached the city lord’s mansion. He pushed the gate and examined the empty mansion without any servants. The rock garden like that of immortals and fairies was nowhere to be seen, and the water in the pond had been drained together with the goldfishes whose cultivation had been raised to half god realm.

“Tch, Ashbi is quite stingy. Now that the battle of gods started, he emptied out the entire mansion. Who knows if Asura will win or not. If he loses, then Ashbi will also die and the relocation of all his treasures will have been in vain.”

Li Yunmu shook his head. If the alliance of five gods and Lakshmi City won, they wouldn’t let any god of Asura City come out alive. After all, Lanlou was only so large, and if anyone wanted to nurture a few hundred gods, the resources were scarce. Without them, however, the number of gods would drop.

What was more, even if the gods of Asura City surrendered and pledged complete loyalty, who would believe them? The five ancient gods wouldn’t trust them and put themselves at risk.

After entering the main hall, there was still some furniture of little value present as well as a head-sized night pearl on the roof. When Li Yunmu saw it, he was somewhat curious. Why would the stingy Ashbi leave the night pearl there instead of taking it with himself?

Even the rock garden which was nothing compared to it was taken away.

A sudden thought flashed in Li Yunmu’s mind, and he took out the restriction destroying halo from his ring finger and brought it in contact with the night pearl. The moment his fingertips were to touch the night pearl, his hand completely disappeared as if it had entered a space.

At the same time, almost illusory ripples spread out from the huge night pearl with the only exception being the region where Li Yunmu’s hand had disappeared.

“So it was like this!”

When he left the city lord’s mansion the past few times using Chen Xiu’s identity, he had seen the night pearl hanging high over the main hall and even paid quite a bit of attention to it. After all he had only seen such a large night pearl in Dragon Lady’s palace. But who could have expected that beyond the heavens would be hiding within it! No, that wasn’t correct. It should be said that they were in the small world hidden within the night pearl.

The reason why the small world seemed to be within the night pearl was naturally because of a spell formation. When ordinary people looked at it, they would only find it new and odd, while if gods used their divine sense to sweep over the city lord’s mansion, they wouldn’t pay attention to a night pearl. Moreover, the surface of the night pearl had a defensive spell formation which acted as an alarm.

If someone touched the night pearl, it would be sensed by Asura. He would then hurry over before anyone could enter. Fortunately though, the system had created a restriction destroying halo for Li Yunmu when he went to the divine palace to steal the Heavenly Grand Ritual. Without the ring, Li Yunmu wouldn’t be able to enter the small world.

“This Asura is really vigilant. Even if he has a cultivation of quasi master god, he still didn’t dare to let the news about beyond the heavens spread. If it was discovered, he would’ve had to confront all the gods of the Origin World. At that moment, no matter how much stronger than others he were, it wouldn’t matter,” Li Yunmu mumbled.

After saying that, Li Yunmu turned into a black point that entered the night pearl. He disappeared from the city lord’s mansion and arrived at an immortal land. After flying for a long time, he dropped down on a cliff and admired the beautiful scenery before him while shaking his head.
