A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 497

Chapter 497 All Shall Heed the Honored Words

“You’re of no use to me anymore, so it’s time for you to go,” Wu Hao said. His gaze was cold as he looked at the Wild Grass God Emperor. Then, with his finger as a sword, he struck, instantly crushing the Wild Grass God Emperor.

Wu Hao’s decisive and ruthless nature only deepened the reverence the surrounding God Emperors felt toward him.

Yet Wu Hao’s expression remained calm, as if sending the Wild Grass God Emperor on his way was nothing more than a trivial matter.

Although the Wild Grass God Emperor was at the Mid-stage God-Emperor level, he had already been tainted by the Forbidden Power. Wu Hao couldn’t leave such a hidden threat lurking nearby.

The Forbidden Power had killed those like the Wild Grass God Emperor who couldn’t resist it. It might have other methods, perhaps even controlling them to self-destruct.

When a God Emperor self-destructs, there’s no way to stop it except through absolute power suppression.

So Wu Hao did not want to give the Forbidden Power any opportunity to take advantage of his presence.

After dealing with this, Wu Hao turned to the God Emperors gathered at the scene, his tone still calm.

“Everyone, they have already been tainted by the Forbidden Power. You should be able to sense it too—that power is extremely unstable. Even a God Emperor cannot control it. So, I hope none of you here will follow in their footsteps.”

Hearing Wu Hao’s words, the God Emperors present all wore expressions of deep caution. Yet, given Wu Hao’s overwhelming strength standing before them, they could only nod in agreement.

Of course, they all understood that when Wu Hao said “follow in their footsteps,” he wasn’t just referring to being tainted by the Forbidden Power, but rather being sent on the same path by him.

Once he saw their unanimous nods, Wu Hao continued without pause.

“Alright, I won’t waste time. Since I called you here, there’s naturally something I want you to do.”

“I want you to keep watch for the Forbidden Power within the Divine Realm. Whenever you find any trace of it, eliminate it immediately.”

Wu Hao’s goal was to have the God Emperors of the Divine Realm take action, leaving no place for the Forbidden Power to hide.

After all, the Divine Realm is vast beyond measure. Wu Hao knew that with his current strength alone, trying to wipe out all traces of the Forbidden Power by himself would be a pipe dream.

To completely eradicate the Forbidden Power from the Divine Realm, it would require the cooperation of its God Emperors.

At Wu Hao’s words, the Zhurong Divine Emperor hesitated for a moment but still spoke up to ask.

“Senior, although I know it might be a bit presumptuous to ask, I still want to inquire—what exactly is this Forbidden Power?”

Upon hearing the Zhurong Divine Emperor speak, the other God Emperors all turned to look at Wu Hao.

Wu Hao pondered for a moment before shaking his head and replying, “My True Self doesn’t fully understand it either. But the very purpose of the Forbidden Power’s existence is to annihilate everything. Even though the Wild Grass God Emperor and the others appeared normal, you could all see that just now, they were struck by a backlash from that Forbidden Power within their bodies, which is why they perished in an instant.”

“So no matter what, this power cannot be allowed to exist anywhere within the Divine Realm.”

“Moreover, the presence of the Forbidden Power is terrifying beyond measure. Once tainted even slightly, it clings like a malignant tumor buried deep in the flesh—impossible to completely remove.”

“Additionally, anyone who fights against an existence contaminated by the Forbidden Power will be affected by it to some extent. Over time, they will become thoroughly corrupted by this power, and even afterward, it cannot be cleansed.”

Hearing Wu Hao’s explanation, the Holy Poison God Emperor couldn’t help but comment with some sarcasm, “This Forbidden Power sounds even scarier than my poison.”

The Holy Poison God Emperor’s toxin is feared even by Mid-stage God Emperors, yet even he couldn’t manage to infiltrate his poison into an opponent’s body during combat.

After all, during battle, the opponent is always on guard. Unless the Holy Poison God Emperor directly uses his poison, there’s basically no way to eliminate the opposition.

Moreover, if given the chance, the opponent can clear the toxins from their body.

“All right, I’ve told you everything. Now, what we need is your help to expel the Forbidden Power from the Divine Realm.”

Wu Hao glanced seriously at the God Emperors present as he said this.

The God Emperors all understood the gravity of the situation and nodded in agreement.

Once he had explained everything, Wu Hao was about to leave, since he was never good at administration.

But just then, the Zhurong Divine Emperor among the God Emperors couldn’t help but speak again, asking, “Senior, I’m curious—why have we never heard of your existence within the Divine Realm? With your strength, you shouldn’t be an unknown entity here.”

The God Emperors in the Divine Realm knew each other more or less, and even the five at God Emperor Peak were recognized by the Zhurong Divine Emperor. Yet Wu Hao standing before them was someone they had no recollection of whatsoever.

Upon hearing Zhurong Divine Emperor’s words, the God Emperors present all looked curiously at Wu Hao. It was obvious they all shared the same curiosity.

Hearing this, Wu Hao just smiled lightly and prepared to turn and leave. But just as he was about to disappear, his footsteps paused and he spoke once more.

“That’s quite normal. After all, my True Self hasn’t been a God Emperor for very long; it’s only natural that you don’t know me.”

From the moment of his transmigration until now, less than five hundred years had passed, yet Wu Hao had already ascended to the pinnacle of thousands of worlds. For five hundred years—not just for a God Emperor, but even for an Emperor-level expert—that period is barely enough to enter seclusion for cultivation.

However, it was clear they didn’t believe Wu Hao’s words. No matter how short a time he claimed, it still seemed too brief to them.

Based on their knowledge, the fastest recorded cultivation to God Emperor in the Divine Realm’s history was by the Ancient Desolation God Emperor, who is now one of the Five Peak God Emperors. But even he took approximately 356.2 billion years to reach the God Emperor Realm. Unfortunately, the Ancient Desolation God Emperor had claimed to enter seclusion to break through beyond God Emperor level and hadn’t been heard from since.

Clearly, Wu Hao had no intention of explaining further. Just saying that much was already quite courteous towards them.

After speaking, Wu Hao immediately left with Su Qiaoran and Li Yuping. He still needed to go to the other Eight Voids and have the God Emperor experts there stand up against the Forbidden Power.

After all, the Divine Realm wasn’t his alone; naturally, the God Emperor-level experts had to take action too.

Once Wu Hao and Su Qiaoran had departed, a Late Stage God Emperor on the scene looked after Wu Hao’s departing figure and said, deeply moved,

“I never expected the Master of Wu Dao Sect to look like this. It’s a bit beyond what I had imagined.”

“Is there something strange about that?”

Another Mid-stage God Emperor asked, puzzled.

The God Emperor who had spoken earlier shook his head.

“I originally thought that, with so many Peak God Emperor great experts under the Master of Wu Dao Sect, he would be an old man. But I didn’t expect him to be such a graceful and handsome divine spirit.”

Wu Hao hadn’t anticipated that they might have assumed he was an old man before. But on reflection, it made sense. Although some powerful experts, upon reaching advanced levels, liked to restore themselves to a younger appearance, more often they preferred to present themselves as elders.

“All right, everyone, let’s go. I didn’t expect such a terrifying force to exist within the Divine Realm. It seems our days won’t be very peaceful from now on.”

Zhurong Divine Emperor looked at the gathered God Emperors before turning and leaving. Seeing this, the others also departed one after another, and soon the Palace Realm was left empty of any God Emperors.
