Celestial Spring City had already become a wasteland, with one figure after another clad in black robes etching a summoning array to call the descent of the Ten Thousand Eyes Deceit God.
The summoning array was as large as a football field, and the entire setup nearly depleted the entire reserves of the Ten Thousand Eyes Deceit clan.
These Ten Thousand Eyes Deceit Kings were creations of the consciousness of Blue Star, using the souls of Ten Thousand Eyes Deceit Kings.
With the modifications by Blue Star's consciousness, the Ten Thousand Eyes Deceit Emperor hadn't realized it was dead.
In its eyes, Celestial Spring City was still teeming with people, exuding a harmonious ambiance.
This was also the chosen location for their ritual, intending to use the lives of all humans in Celestial Spring City as sacrifices to summon a great deity to descend here.
"Report to the Deceit Emperor, the array is ready, please give your instructions."
Two Ten Thousand Eyes Deceit Kings respectfully addressed the Ten Thousand Eyes Deceit Emperor.
In this bizarre world, the hierarchy was extremely rigid.
The lower levels absolutely could not disobey orders from the higher-ups.
The Ten Thousand Eyes Deceit King was a Tier Seven anomaly, while the Ten Thousand Eyes Deceit Emperor was a Tier Eight, with higher rank exerting overwhelming pressure.
"When the blood moon hangs in the sky, that will be the moment we summon the Ten Thousand Eyes Deceit God. This time, we have already found a body capable of withstanding its descent, ensuring the Ten Thousand Eyes Deceit God will not mistreat us."
The Ten Thousand Eyes Deceit Emperor looked toward the Phantom Wolf King, which was bound by countless chains, baring its teeth—a mere illusion crafted by Blue Star's consciousness.
The real Phantom Wolf King had long been devoured by Hastar, not even a fragment of bone remaining.
All in all, everything in Celestial Spring City was fake; the people were fake, the Phantom Wolf King was fake, and even they themselves were fake.
For them, it was about deceiving the Ten Thousand Eyes Deceit God; as long as they could draw the Deceit God in and eliminate it, they could deal with other deceit gods as well.
If they could directly devour a god, all the better, since even a single deceit god was equivalent to a being with Intermediate Divine Power.
The Divine Position of Barbaric Power separated from it could provide considerable aid to Big Gray.
Big Gray, after all, had been cursed by the Death God, naturally depleting much of its life force.
Thus, what Ye Bai could do to assist Big Gray was to help it improve its strength as much as possible, allowing Big Gray to progress further.
"Our divine souls will be used as offerings to the Ten Thousand Eyes Deceit God; it is our honor." All the hundreds of eyes of the Ten Thousand Eyes Deceit Emperor glowed with a fervent intensity.
This fervor wasn't feigned, but genuine from the heart.
They were anomalies created in the image of the Ten Thousand Eyes Deceit God, executing the deity's orders with unwavering loyalty.
Little did they know that their every move was under Ye Bai's surveillance, as he was the director and chief editor of this drama.
"Netherworld Hell Wolf King, this is your opportunity."
"As long as you can devour the essence of a deceit god, breaking through to Tier Nine shouldn't be a problem."
Ye Bai was considering his pet beasts, in his eyes, these deceit gods were like fish on a chopping block, ready for him to carve at will.
Only when the Ten Thousand Changes Saint Butterfly broke through to Tier Nine could the remaining pet beasts ascend to Tier Nine. He was silently gathering resources for his pet beasts.
The Sunflower Fairy under Ye Bai was carefree; being able to ambush a deceit god was such a great merit that the consciousness of Blue Star had to bestow a reward. Otherwise, who would willingly work for Blue Star's consciousness?
"The Sunflower Fairy's luck isn't bad."
"Once the ambush on the deceit god is complete, it can use the merit from ambushing the deceit god to ascend to a more powerful existence."
At this moment, the Sunflower Fairy took out the Black Flood Dragon Saber and the Poison Dragon Blade.
She waved the two blades in front of Ye Bai.
A faint Dragon's Roar seemed to emanate from the blade surfaces.
These two weapons had been well-nurtured by the Sunflower Fairy, her own designated knives, though recently she felt the two kitchen knives weren't sharp enough and wanted to sharpen them, or ideally, upgrade one.
After all, it was already a Tier Eight pet beast, while these kitchen knives were only around Tier Four, severely mismatched with the Sunflower Fairy's strength.
It was worried that if it used a little more force, these two kitchen knives might just snap in half.
Ye Bai immediately understood the Sunflower Fairy's intention.
"Sunflower Fairy, you want to upgrade these two knives, right?"
Ye Bai truly wasn't proficient in upgrading soul artifacts.
However, he had backup, and that was the Wine Maker Immortal.
As the saying goes, skilled work requires specialized expertise.
Mr. Wine was an expert among experts who happened to owe Ye Bai a favor, neither too large nor too small.
Therefore, Ye Bai took out his phone and sent a message.
[Ye Bai: Wine Maker Immortal, do you have time recently? I have a question I'd like to consult you about in person, concerning soul artifacts.]
[Wine Maker Immortal: I have time, absolutely I have time; how could I possibly say no to you, Master Ye!]
[Wine Maker Immortal: Come to this location; I've been collecting a very rare material and camping in the Bamboo Forest for quite a while. The material is fleeting, and I can't leave yet.]
The Wine Maker Immortal sent an address.
Ye Bai saw it was in the Celestial Mountain Province.
Celestial Mountain Province was a basin terrain known for its abundance of bamboo, and the Bamboo Forest was a famous local attraction.
However, the depths of the Bamboo Forest were designated as a nature reserve, generally off-limits to human traffic.
The Wine Maker Immortal stationed himself there, certainly connected with some social backgrounds.
[Ye Bai: Alright, Wine Maker Immortal, we'll be right over.]
"Sky-swallowing Roc, let's go."
Ye Bai summoned the Sky-swallowing Roc and, with a single spatial transfer, arrived in the depths of the Bamboo Forest.
