A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 318

Chapter 318: The Divine Statue, Doomsday Divine King

“Thank you, Senior, for coming to our rescue.”

Emperor Luansha and Emperor Luanpiao, accompanied by a group of cultivators from the Changtiao Realm, approached Wu Hao and respectfully expressed their gratitude.

Although their losses had been severe, at least they had survived.

Wu Hao simply waved his hand and then spoke.

“My True Self was merely passing by and couldn’t bear to see a world destroyed like this. As for that Doomsday Divine King, I will deal with him shortly—there is no need for you to worry.”

“However, my rescue of you is not without reason. I require you to establish a shrine dedicated to me within the Changtiao Realm.”

As he said this, Wu Hao’s expression grew very serious. Erecting a divine statue was something only the most powerful gods did. Wherever such a statue stood, even if the god fell, they could be reborn in that location.

Although Wu Hao had absolute confidence in his own strength, the world was unpredictable, and he could not guarantee that no ancient monsters lurked in the Divine Realm. It was always wise to keep a backup plan.

Additionally, having the Changtiao Realm worship his divine statue would allow him to collect the Power of Faith. Once accumulated in large amounts, this power was formidable—it could boost cultivation levels and serve as a contingency for the future.

After hearing Wu Hao’s words, the inhabitants of the Changtiao Realm showed no hesitation and agreed without a second thought.

For them, dedicating a divine statue to Wu Hao was undoubtedly highly beneficial. With Wu Hao’s statue standing guard, it would serve as a clear warning to other gods that this world was under his protection.

With Wu Hao’s divine statue present, perhaps even the Doomsday Divine King would think twice before invading this realm.

As all the beings of the Changtiao Realm consented, Wu Hao nodded and waved his hand. The next moment, countless divine energies surged from within him, and a massive divine statue slowly took shape.

At the same time as the statue formed, an astonishing scene unfolded throughout the Changtiao Realm—the creatures slain by demons were actually resurrected. This left the realm’s inhabitants utterly stunned.

But once they realized this was the supreme divine power bestowed by Wu Hao, they immediately began to worship him without hesitation.

Wu Hao accepted all of this justifiably, considering it a small blessing given to the world under his command.

With the statue completed and standing at the center of the Changtiao Realm, Wu Hao looked at the inhabitants and said,

“Everyone, consider this a gift for you. Additionally, you can draw insight from my divine statue, which will offer some help in your cultivation. Farewell for now, until fate brings us together again.”

“Farewell to the God Venerable!”

The beings of the Changtiao Realm watched as Wu Hao departed, falling to their knees in respect and seeing him off until long after he had left before finally rising.

Emperor Luanpiao and Emperor Luansha exchanged a glance, their eyes brimming with unstoppable excitement. They could both vividly imagine just how glorious the Changtiao Realm would become under Wu Hao’s protection.

“All right, our Changtiao Realm barely escaped death this time, so we must not slack off now. With the help of God Venerable Wu Hao, we should strive even harder,” Emperor Luanpiao said.

“Right. Everyone, return to your cultivation. This battle clearly showed that our Changtiao Realm’s strength is still too weak. If we face powerful beings from outside this realm, we are nothing but ants,” Emperor Luansha added.

Hearing their words, the cultivators of the Changtiao Realm nodded firmly with serious expressions and then returned to their cultivation with renewed diligence.

Naturally, Wu Hao was completely unaware of these developments. At this moment, he had already left the Changtiao Realm. Looking out at the vast, boundless expanse, he closed his eyes to carefully sense around and soon detected the presence of the Doomsday Divine King.

At the same time as sensing the Doomsday Divine King, Wu Hao also realized that many of the Divine King’s fierce forces were invading other worlds. Reflecting on this, he let out a sigh.

“With greater power comes greater responsibility. Very well then, I might as well leave behind a few divine statues of my own and lend a helping hand along the way.”

With that thought, in just an instant, countless clones split from Wu Hao’s body and rushed outward in all directions.

This was a skill Wu Hao had learned upon breaking into the God King realm, called the Grand Dao Multiplication Technique. It could produce thousands of clones, though each clone only possessed half of his own strength. Furthermore, using this technique weakened Wu Hao himself to half his original power.

So, unless absolutely necessary, Wu Hao would not use this move.

Right now, he was only testing the strength of this technique, and it was also a bit more convenient to use.

Soon, Wu Hao’s clones descended like heavenly gods to the worlds invaded by the demons sent by the Doomsday Divine King, rescuing those worlds on the brink of annihilation and leaving behind statues of himself.

At the same time, in an Upper Realm shrouded in darkness, a pair of eyes suddenly snapped open, revealing blood-red pupils, while the aura of the being grew violently turbulent.

“Damn it, what’s going on? Why have so many of my kin died?”

The speaker was the Doomsday Divine King. In just a few minutes, he sensed that about two-thirds of the kin he had dispatched had perished.

If only one or two had died, the Doomsday Divine King could accept it, but losing two-thirds of his kin all at once was utterly unacceptable to him.

He knew his power grew by sending his kin to other vanishing Upper Realms to gather Origin Power to strengthen himself. Without his kin, his speed of growth would drastically slow down.

Moreover, since he was currently breaking through the critical threshold of the God Emperor realm, he absolutely could not afford such a setback.

With this thought, the Doomsday Divine King hesitated no longer and chose to emerge from his seclusion.

However, during the very time the Doomsday Divine King emerged from seclusion, several more of his kin died, which only heightened his anxiety.

But the moment the Doomsday Divine King left the Demon Realm, he saw a figure standing before him. His expression immediately turned serious. He could sense that the person in front of him was terrifyingly powerful, like an unfathomable abyss. Just from the way this person stood, the Doomsday Divine King knew he was facing someone formidable.

An expert—a definite expert. Someone more powerful than himself, possibly even a God Emperor.

With this realization, the Doomsday Divine King’s previously restless heart calmed down. He looked at Wu Hao and bowed slightly, saying, “Fellow Daoists, I have urgent matters to attend to. If you have come seeking me, please allow me to finish my business first.”

What the Doomsday Divine King didn’t expect was that the person before him, Wu Hao, was the one who had wiped out his kin.
