A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 496

Chapter 496: The Alliance of Divine Realm Powerhouses

Upon sensing the aura of the Forbidden Power emanating from the five God Emperors, including the Wild Grass God Emperor, the surrounding God Emperors looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy. Their faces were filled with shock—clearly, none of them had expected the Wild Grass God Emperor and the others to be entangled with the Forbidden Power.

At this moment, Wu Hao spoke again.

“Many years ago, countless mighty warriors appeared in the world where the Forbidden Power resides. After discovering the Divine Realm, they launched an attack against it.

But the powerhouses of the Divine Realm fought desperately to repel them. Even so, these many years later, the Forbidden Power has never abandoned the thought of assaulting the Divine Realm, and recently, they seem poised to strike again.

So, the question is: are you those corrupted within the Divine Realm, or are you agents from the Forbidden Power’s side?”

Hearing Wu Hao’s words, the expressions of the Wild Grass God Emperor and the others, who were suppressed on the ground, twisted with extreme displeasure. They obviously never expected Wu Hao’s sudden turn like this.

Just as they were about to say something, Wu Hao’s expression suddenly changed. He quickly rushed up to the Wild Grass God Emperor, reaching out and pressing his hand down on him.

Before the Wild Grass God Emperor could even react to what Wu Hao intended to do, the other four God Emperors beside him suddenly let out anguished wails. Within moments, they were completely consumed by the Forbidden Power inside their bodies and perished on the spot.

The other God Emperors present watched this scene with grim faces, clearly stunned by such an unexpected turn of events.

Wu Hao’s expression grew extremely grim.

“I never thought you’d dare kill someone right in front of me.”

“Save me, save me! I’ll say anything, I’ll say everything!”

After witnessing this scene, the Wild Grass God Emperor finally came to a tragic realization: they were nothing but pawns of the Forbidden Power.

Wu Hao snorted coldly.

“You don’t need to say anything. I’ll see it for myself.”

Earlier, Wu Hao might have been somewhat cautious, but now he had broken through to the Mid-stage God-Emperor level, and he had already suppressed the Wild Grass God Emperor, severing its connection to the Forbidden Power.

So even if the Forbidden Power wanted to force the Wild Grass God Emperor to self-destruct, it simply wouldn’t be able to.

Hearing Wu Hao’s words, terror filled the Wild Grass God Emperor’s face. It shouted and tried to struggle, but Wu Hao’s actions were too secure—he didn’t even allow the Wild Grass God Emperor the chance to self-destruct.

As Wu Hao’s terrifying divine awareness surged into the Wild Grass God Emperor’s Divine Soul, the Wild Grass God Emperor’s Divine Soul tried to block Wu Hao’s divine awareness.

But unfortunately, Wu Hao’s power was far beyond that of the Wild Grass God Emperor. It took him just a little time before Wu Hao’s hand had already reached into the Wild Grass God Emperor’s memories.

Very quickly, Wu Hao began to shamelessly rummage through the Wild Grass God Emperor’s memories. Before long, he found memories related to the Forbidden Power.

…

“This was over thirty trillion years ago?”

Looking at the surroundings inside the Wild Grass God Emperor’s Divine Soul memories, Wu Hao’s expression grew serious.

At that time, the Wild Grass God Emperor was still just a tiny ant at the initial Divine Rank stage—far from the famous Wild Grass God Emperor he had become.

Following the Wild Grass God Emperor’s memories, Wu Hao soon saw it approach an Ancient Ruins.

Watching the Wild Grass God Emperor enter the Ancient Ruins, Wu Hao’s expression was full of speechlessness. Earlier, Feng Qingyang had also encountered records about the Ancient Ruins inside the same ruins.

And the Wild Grass God Emperor had also encountered the Forbidden Power there. It was clear the two of them had some similarities.

But as soon as Wu Hao thought of Feng Qingyang, his face immediately turned grave. Looking around the environment and then back at the Ancient Ruins before him, it was clear this was not the same ruins Feng Qingyang had entered earlier.

“I didn’t expect it to be this Ancient Ruins as well.”After thorough confirmation, Wu Hao finally determined that the Ancient Ruins before him were indeed the same ones Feng Qingyang had encountered. Shaking his head, Wu Hao stopped overthinking and followed the Wild Grass God Emperor into the Ancient Ruins.

As Wu Hao had anticipated, soon after entering the Ancient Ruins, the Wild Grass God Emperor quickly fell under the influence of the Forbidden Power, absorbing and using it. Records on the walls also revealed information about this Forbidden Power.

At this point, however, the Wild Grass God Emperor hadn’t realized the gravity of the situation. After all, his strength wasn’t very formidable yet, so gaining the support of the Forbidden Power meant he could drastically change his current circumstances.

That’s right—the Wild Grass God Emperor wasn’t a God Emperor yet at this time; his power was only at the initial Divine Rank stage. Because of that, he often faced oppression within the Divine Realm. In order to grow stronger, when he discovered the Ancient Ruins, he entered them without hesitation.

Subsequent memories showed that after absorbing the Forbidden Power, the Wild Grass God Emperor grew exponentially stronger, advancing to the mid-stage God Emperor level within just 30 trillion years.

Although 30 trillion years sounds staggeringly long, it still depends on what level of cultivation you compare it to. For a God Emperor-ranking powerhouse, not only 30 trillion years, but even 300 billion billion years wouldn’t be considered long.

After all, once one breaks through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal stage, they become virtually immortal; 300 billion billion years is truly nothing.After finishing the memories of the Wild Grass God Emperor, Wu Hao felt somewhat disappointed. He hadn’t expected that despite the Wild Grass God Emperor having cultivated to such a formidable level, no envoy from the Forbidden Power had come to seek him out.

As for the other four God Emperors who were also tainted by the Forbidden Power, they didn’t even know of each other’s existence. That’s right—they were entirely unaware that the others were likewise influenced by the Forbidden Power.

After all, once they understood the true nature of the Forbidden Power within the Divine Realm, they wouldn’t reveal themselves unless absolutely necessary.

This also explained why, earlier when the God Emperors tainted by the Forbidden Power were wiped out by Wu Daoyu and others, the Wild Grass God Emperor and the rest didn’t react—because they didn’t realize the others were similarly tainted.

Soon, Wu Hao withdrew from the Wild Grass God Emperor’s memories.

Seeing Wu Hao’s hand retreat from above his head, the Wild Grass God Emperor struggled in terror.

“Senior, spare me! I’m willing to do whatever you ask. I can submit to the Wu Dao Sect. I’ll give you control of my original spirit!”

The Wild Grass God Emperor knew that if he didn’t prove his value now, his fate would be the same as those four God Emperors before him.

After all, he could see that Wu Hao possessed the strength to protect himself from the Forbidden Power. If Wu Hao chose to ignore him, he estimated he would be slain by the Forbidden Power at any moment, just like those four.

He had no confidence in surviving the Forbidden Power’s judgment. Had he known the terrifying consequences of being tainted by the Forbidden Power, he definitely would never have touched it.Just as the Wild Grass God Emperor’s heart filled with extreme anxiety, Wu Hao spoke—and his words felt like plunging the Wild Grass God Emperor into an icy abyss.
