Chapter 688: Chapter 687: Renowned Throughout the World
The Great Wilderness Main God said, "You may leave. Begin the preparations."
"Yes, my lord!"
The elder immediately departed, leaving only Ye Fan and the Great Wilderness Main God in the room.
The Great Wilderness Main God said to Ye Fan, "This alone is not enough. After all, my daughter is not a bargaining chip. I don’t need the Immortal Mine."
Ye Fan had to admit he was right. "My apologies, Senior," he said. "That was presumptuous of me. What else do you require?"
"Have you heard of the Little God Monarch?" the Great Wilderness Main God asked him.
"I truly have not," Ye Fan replied.
The Great Wilderness Main God continued, "The Little God Monarch hails from the God Monarch Palace."
The God Monarch Palace again! Ye Fan thought, shocked.
"The Little God Monarch is the number one prodigy of the Divine World," the Great Wilderness Main God explained. "He broke through the second major realm five years ago and has likely broken through the third by now. The God Monarch Palace already proposed a marriage on his behalf, but I refused. However, I don’t intend to burn bridges with them entirely."
"You and the Little God Monarch must fight. I cannot and will not help you. Either you die, or he dies."
"There is no other way. Do you dare to fight the Little God Monarch?"
Ye Fan found the proposal terrifying, yet it was also within his expectations. I knew the Evil God lineage couldn’t be this pathetic, he thought. This Little God Monarch must be the powerhouse they’ve been secretly cultivating. He’s no simple character. To have broken through the second major realm five years ago... it’s no exaggeration to call him my fated rival. Although his own cultivation realm might not be as high as the Little God Monarch’s, Ye Fan found that the more powerful a young expert was, the more he craved the challenge. Perhaps this was just his nature. The Little God Monarch was horrifyingly strong, but Ye Fan did not fear a battle.
"Senior, I am not afraid to fight!" Ye Fan declared.
"Very good. I’m aware of your capabilities. They say you’re the young expert the Righteous Divine Lineage has cultivated to counter the Little God Monarch."
"But the terror of the Little God Monarch is beyond your imagination. I hope you won’t underestimate your enemy. If you die, I will feel no pity for you," the Great Wilderness Main God stated flatly.
Ye Fan understood what he meant. "Senior, rest assured," he said. "I will take the Little God Monarch’s head."
"I hope you do as you say. I will manufacture a conflict between the two of you. Whether you can rise against the odds will depend on your own fortune," the Great Wilderness Main God said calmly.
The smoothness of the conversation took Ye Fan by surprise. I expected the Great Wilderness Main God to give me a hard time first before laying out his terms. The fact that he was so direct greatly improved my impression of him. Regardless, this Little God Monarch is now etched into my mind. Whether or not I’m fated to be with Huang Ji, I must kill him. He is someone who absolutely must die. If the Little God Monarch isn’t eliminated, he will inevitably become my greatest enemy in the future.
When Ye Fan met with Huang Ji, she immediately asked, "Did my father make things difficult for you?"
"No! But he wants me to kill the Little God Monarch!" Ye Fan replied.
"But I’m still so worried about you!" Huang Ji fretted. "I know you say that, but the Little God Monarch is just too terrifying."
She told Ye Fan, "He fought Fu Hu in the past, and Fu Hu didn’t even last a single round. He must be even more terrifying now."
Ye Fan responded, "It’s fine. I enjoy this kind of challenge. Either I die, or the Little God Monarch dies!"
"Mhm! I believe you will be unstoppable, my love," Huang Ji vowed. "If... if anything were to happen to you, please know that I would not live on without you."
Ye Fan laughed. "Silly girl, I have absolute confidence in myself. I believe the Little God Monarch is no match for me!"
Huang Ji nestled into Ye Fan’s arms. For them, it was another sweet day.
However, it wasn’t long before news that shook the world spread through the Divine Domain: the number one prodigy of the Righteous Gods and the number one prodigy of the Evil God lineage were set to have a decisive battle.
Perhaps Ye Fan and the Little God Monarch were still in the dark. Although they were fated rivals, the two had never even met. Yet unexpectedly, a battle between them had been arranged. Of course, I knew full well this was all orchestrated by the Great Wilderness Main God—a clash he personally engineered, Ye Fan thought.
Though the two combatants may have been kept in the dark, the matter had already become world-famous. Both had to fight, as the situation left them no other choice. If either the Little God Monarch or Ye Fan backed down, it would be seen as a defeat. The Great Wilderness Main God had pushed them into a corner with no escape.
The decisive battle was set for half a year from now. For the gods and the Divine World, this amount of time was less than the blink of an eye. Soon, news arrived that both the Little God Monarch and Ye Fan had accepted the challenge. This was destined to be the most dazzling battle between prodigies the Divine Domain had ever seen.
Many were curious if Ye Fan, who had previously crushed the so-called prodigies of the Evil God lineage as if he were slicing vegetables, could truly contend with the Little God Monarch. Because of this, many began placing bets, though most were not optimistic about Ye Fan’s chances, given the Little God Monarch’s established might.
From the Main Gods to the lesser deities, all eagerly awaited this decisive battle. The Righteous Divine Lineage believed Ye Fan would once again create a miracle, while the Evil God lineage was desperate to wash away their past humiliation. With the very balance of power in the Divine Domain at stake, neither side could afford to lose. Thus, the Little God Monarch, the peerless prodigy of the God Monarch Palace, was finally thrust into the public eye.
Meanwhile, the architect of this entire affair, the Great Wilderness Main God, watched the news spread with great anticipation. He was not only first among the Main Gods in martial might but also in strategy, wisdom, and scheming. When it came to the depths of his shamelessness and cunning, he was second to none.
「At the same time」
Upon receiving the news, Tu Shen was shocked. "What? My little junior brother is going to compete with the Little God Monarch?"
The Evil Punishment Main God remarked, "The two have no history with each other. Our little junior brother has likely been manipulated."
"This can’t happen! We have to stop him," Tu Shen said worriedly. "Although our little junior brother’s talent is immense, there’s still a gap between him and the Little God Monarch. If they must fight, it should be a few years from now!"
But the Red Sand Main God said, "I think this is a good opportunity!"
"Oh?"
The other two looked at the Red Sand Main God, who was known for taking a contrary view at the most critical moments.
The Red Sand Main God explained, "First, we Righteous Gods have never feared anyone, so we do not fear this battle."
"Second, this is a perfect trial for our little junior brother. The so-called geniuses he defeated before were too weak. For him, that was hardly a true test."
"The Little God Monarch is different. He is powerful enough to pressure our little junior brother and force him to go all out. If they fight, it’s still uncertain who will emerge victorious!"
"A successful fighter always rises upon the corpses of others. As the saying goes, ’A general’s triumph is built on ten thousand withered bones.’ In my view, the Little God Monarch is the very whetstone our little junior brother needs to reach the Divine General realm!"
With his farsighted vision, the Red Sand Main God had immediately pointed out the hidden benefits.
