620: Abandoned chess piece.

Celestial Realm Immortal Island, bathed in brilliant light, with the cries of cranes and the calls of apes.

Jiang Ziya, a short figure in white robes, rushed out of the immortal mansion as if mad.

He saw the sea of clouds churning in the sky, and loud rumbling sounds echoed continuously.

The Laws of the world seemed to have undergone earth-shattering changes.

"Dao Body!"

"Qin Yang has achieved a Dao Body!"

"Yuanshi Tianzun, Lord of the Beginning! If we don't act now, it will be too late!"

Jiang Ziya, with a pleading tone, shouted towards the higher sky.

The fear and anxiety in his eyes were almost palpable.

It wasn't just Jiang Ziya.

All the immortals and gods in the Celestial Realm, and all living beings in the Terrestrial Realm, sensed the change in the Great Dao.

The Great Dao is formless, yet omnipresent.

Once it changes, high-Rank beings can sense it.

Of course, changing the Great Dao is not an easy task.

This means that an existence in the Three Realms has comprehended a Dao exclusive to themselves, becoming a part of the Great Dao, and will live eternally.

This was the reason for Jiang Ziya's fear.

Qin Yang was the 'Human Emperor' who had not yet taken his place.

He was an absolute archenemy to himself, who was executing the Investiture of the Gods Chess Game conspiracy.

Previously, he could use various means to prevent Qin Yang from ascending to the position of Human Emperor.

But now, Qin Yang had achieved a Dao Body, becoming an eternal existence.

Even if he didn't take his place as Human Emperor, he would eventually cultivate a Heavenly Divine Ability.

His revenge on the Three Realms was no longer a technical problem, but only a matter of time.

This essentially declared Jiang Ziya's inevitable doom.

Unless he could also achieve a Dao Body or become a Saint of the Righteous Path before Qin Yang came for him.

But this was no different from getting into Tsinghua University in three minutes.

Jiang Ziya was completely panicked. He raised both hands high, bowed to the sky, and said, "Yuanshi Tianzun, Lord of the Beginning! All beneath a Saint are ants, but we still have a chance! The Dao Body Qin Yang has achieved primarily affects the Myriad Worlds. As long as we obliterate the Great Dao there, we can still eliminate him!"

He looked at the churning sea of clouds, awaiting Yuanshi Tianzun, Lord of the Beginning's response.

However, Yuanshi Tianzun, Lord of the Beginning's silence at this moment filled him with immense sorrow.

He understood that as a chess piece, he had been abandoned.

Thinking of this, a hint of venom flashed in Jiang Ziya's eyes. Maintaining his bowing posture, he said in a deep voice, "Qin Yang, with the ability to achieve a Dao Body, can become a Saint. With his narrow and brutal nature, everyone in the Investiture of the Gods Chess Game will come to a bad end!"

As soon as these words were spoken, thunder roared in the sky, as if the heavens were enraged.

Soon after, a glimmer of light appeared above the churning sea of clouds.

Beneath the light, the faint outline of a Saint's phantom appeared.

A stern reprimand boomed like thunder.

"Jiang Ziya, are you threatening me?"

Jiang Ziya's face was ashen, but he still pursed his prominent underbite, bowed his head, and after a long while, said, "This Disciple is merely reminding Yuanshi Tianzun, Lord of the Beginning that this is a time of crisis. The Three Realms must unite, and even if it means obliterating the Great Dao, we must eradicate Qin Yang!"

The light in the sky flickered, and the thunder gradually subsided.

After a long pause, the voice of the Saint came, "I will meet with the Heavenly Emperor and then make a decision. You should proceed with the original plan."

Hearing this, Jiang Ziya's eyelids drooped, and he smiled bitterly in his heart.

The heart of a Saint is unfathomable!

The Heavenly Emperor already intended to abolish the list, and now Yuanshi Tianzun, Lord of the Beginning was going to discuss it with him?

He feared... Yuanshi Tianzun, Lord of the Beginning was conspiring with the Heavenly Emperor to pin the blame for the Investiture of the Gods on himself, wasn't he?

"Then I will make things absolute, so that even if Qin Yang kills me, it won't be enough to vent his hatred!"

Jiang Ziya lowered his eyelids, the venom in his eyes growing even stronger... Void Realm Graveyard.

Qin Yang, who had just achieved the Imperial Authority Dao Body, was still bathed in golden light.

Massive amounts of experience points continuously flowed in, further increasing his Rank.

Rank 212, Rank 213, Rank 214... He quickly reached the next Bottleneck, Rank 240, for promotion to the Demigod Rank.

But whether it was due to possessing a Dao Body or not, the mechanism of the Tai Xu Primordial Body's rejection of Laws did not trigger. Before Qin Yang could react, his Rank smoothly advanced from Rank 240 to Rank 241, and then continued to rise.

"The Laws have disappeared from my body..."

Qin Yang was puzzled.

He still wanted to see what kind of existence guarded the threshold of the Demigod Rank.

Previously, he had thought that the Black Lotus Child was a high-Rank deity of the Myriad Worlds.

Who knew it was an imposter, making Qin Yang happy for nothing.

However, not everything the Black Lotus Child said was necessarily false.

There should still be higher-Rank deities in the Myriad Worlds.

Logically, he should have encountered them when promoting to the Demigod Rank.

But Qin Yang had directly bypassed the Laws and promoted directly, leaving him unaware of the conditions for promoting to Demigod.

"It doesn't matter."

"I have already become a part of the Myriad Worlds."

"So-called high-Rank deities are also subjects of my rule."

"Even if there are conditions, I can make them change."

Thinking of this, Qin Yang stopped pondering, only waiting for himself to digest the massive amount of experience and see if a "Bottleneck" would appear when he reached Rank 270.

[You have leveled up to Rank 267.]

[All attributes +100.]

[You have gained 140 free attribute points.]

[You have leveled up to Rank 268.]

[You have leveled up to Rank 269.]

[You have leveled up to Rank 270.]

[You have leveled up to Rank 271.]

[All attributes +120.]

[You have gained 160 free attribute points.]

...After reaching Rank 271, no Bottleneck appeared.

A smile played on Qin Yang's lips.

He had guessed correctly.

He was already the underlying code of the Myriad Worlds.

All rules had no effect on him.

If he put his mind to it, he could even use the "underlying code" to modify the rules.

"However, without understanding the structure of the Myriad Worlds, it's best not to modify the rules."

Qin Yang thought to himself.

He still faced external challenges and temporarily had no time to study the rules of the Myriad Worlds.

Unless his strength had truly reached its maximum and could no longer be improved, then considering "changing the code" would not be too late.

After reaching Rank 271, the consumption of experience points accelerated even more rapidly, seeming to be more than a dozen orders of magnitude greater than before.

Qin Yang originally thought he could reach Rank 300, but after advancing to Rank 290, the gift from the Void Zerg was completely depleted.

Qin Yang felt a little regretful but didn't dwell on it.

The difference between Rank 300 and Rank 290 was only a total of 2700 attribute points, which was negligible for the current Qin Yang.

Even from Rank 181 to Rank 290, the attributes gained were not exaggerated.

Qin Yang roughly scanned his panel; it was about 45,720 points, roughly the attributes of a black-grade set of equipment.

The biggest gain this time was the Fusion of Pangu's blood, achieving the Imperial Authority Dao Body.

After evenly distributing his attribute points, Qin Yang regained his composure and activated True Dragon Qi Observation, looking around.

This was a habitual action to avoid missing any Treasure Trove within the Secret Realm.

At this moment, the Lamp-holding Golden Crow still hung high.

Its golden radiance pierced through the ashes, forming brilliant clouds.

Qin Yang floated within it, as if immersed in a golden ocean of Chaos.

Below him, however, a black pillar of light shot up from the ground.

"There's a drop after all!" Qin Yang's eyes lit up.

That black pillar of light was precisely emanating from the deep pit where the Void Queen was located!

Qin Yang raised his hand to control the Lamp-holding Golden Crow, making it descend into the deep pit to illuminate the environment within.

Then, with a flash, he entered the Void Queen's resting place.
