Chapter 1148: Aptitude Threshold

The silent hall was incredibly oppressive. The Life Demon God frowned deeply, his eyes filled with displeasure.

"This devil's power is indeed extraordinary. Why don't you seek instructions from the Heavens?"

A Great Dao Demon God spoke. As soon as these words were uttered, the other Great Dao Demon Gods voiced their agreement one after another. It was as if a floodgate had been opened; the hall instantly fell into a state of noise and clamor.

"Indeed. Since we are unclear, let us ask the Heavens."

"The God Lord of the You Clan also seems to be able to contact the Heavens."

"The You Clan is just a bunch of trash. This devil grew up right under their noses."

"Don't say that. The Great Dao Demon Gods and the You Clan are both favorites of the Heavens. We should be as close as brothers."

Hearing the words of these Great Dao Demon Gods, the Life Demon God's brow did not relax.

He felt that all of this was nonsense.

If he could have sought them out, he would have done so long ago!

At this moment, an old man spoke, "I have a method. Let this devil fall into Reincarnation, using it to slow down his rate of strengthening and weaken his will."

These words immediately garnered the approval of most of the Great Dao Demon Gods.

The Life Demon God felt it made sense and agreed to the matter.

The Great Dao Demon Gods all breathed a sigh of relief. At least there was a way. They truly did not want to face that Devil Head again.

The calamities within the Zhongyuan Realm did not attract Han Jue's attention. His transcendent rule acted as an alarm; if a crisis truly emerged that threatened the Zhongyuan Realm, the transcendent rule would alert him.

The Endless Era was moving further and further away from the time of its creation. Peace could not last forever, and the ambitions of experts from all sides began to sprout. Especially for the older generation of Great Dao Supreme Perfections; after so many years, unable to find a way to become a Creator Daoist, they began to harbor other thoughts.

Factions with blood feuds began to clash, and conflicts erupted.

The curtain rose on the War of the Great Worlds.

In the blink of an eye.

A million years passed.

Han Jue opened his eyes and first looked toward Chu Xiaoqi.

A million years was enough for Chu Xiaoqi to transform and become independent.

With the start of the War of the Great Worlds, the Dao Secret Realm also fell into turmoil. The Small Worlds here all came from different factions. Although they were gathered together, the control of the old factions remained very strong.

Chu Xiaoqi and Chen Jue had gone through countless life-and-death crises. Although they continued to grow, they still couldn't make a name for themselves within the Dao Secret Realm. This was mainly because they lacked a faction.

Han Jue withdrew his gaze and looked at Han Liang.

The boy was meditating in front of him, his Physical Body glowing gold like a golden statue.

It seemed that Han Liang had begun to study his own Physical Body.

His Bloodline and Aptitude were not inferior to a Primordial Chaos Demon God. He was the first entirely new Peak Bloodline of the Endless Era, and Han Jue still had high expectations for him.

Han Jue said, "Come in."

Han Liang opened his eyes and turned his head. He saw Han Ling entering the temple, her divine light fading to reveal her true appearance.

Han Liang chuckled and said, "Fourth Aunt, long time no see!"

Han Ling gave him a slight smile, then walked to Han Jue and bowed respectfully.

Han Jue sighed in his heart. After going out to gain experience, the father and daughter were no longer as close as they used to be; they were more like master and disciple.

It wasn't just Han Ling; all the children and descendants who went out were like this. Therefore, once Han Jue wanted to nurture someone, he wouldn't let them leave easily. Once they left, it was hard to restore the relationship.

After the children went out to train and realized how high and strong Han Jue was, they naturally developed a sense of awe toward him, not to mention not seeing him for a long time.

Han Jue had five children and countless descendants. Perhaps family affection wasn't important to him—at least, that's what his children thought.

"Father, I have come this time for the sake of the Zhongyuan Realm."

Han Ling spoke, piquing Han Liang's curiosity.

What is the Zhongyuan Realm?

Han Jue remained silent, and Han Ling continued.

The Prodigies sent to the Zhongyuan Realm by the Creation Imperial Court had all transformed into Zhongyuan beings. Now, in the Zhongyuan Realm, all beings were in a state of panic, as if the Great Dao Calamity of Chaos had arrived.

"That evil spirit's power is truly strange. He simply cannot be killed and can grow infinitely stronger. Now, no less than twenty Great Dao Supremes are needed to suppress him," Han Ling said with a frown.

Great Dao Supreme?

Han Liang grew even more curious, feeling as if ants were crawling in his heart.

Han Jue said with a half-smile, "Why are you so concerned about my Zhongyuan Realm? Is a mere junior worth you coming to find me personally? I don't see you visiting normally."

Han Ling said helplessly, "As expected, I can't hide anything from you, Father. That power gave me a certain idea. In the current Endless Era, no new Creator Daoist has been born. I used to think it was because the rules of the Great Dao World were insufficient, but after seeing that evil spirit, I have a different view."

"Does becoming a Creator Daoist also depend on Aptitude?"

Han Jue smiled and did not respond.

Han Ling breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed her guess was correct!

Her heart began to race with excitement.

At least she had touched upon the true secret of attaining the status of a Creator Daoist.

Aptitude!

Why were so many Great Dao Supreme Perfections unable to become Creator Daoists?

Besides the Great Dao World itself, it was also related to Aptitude. Otherwise, from ancient times to the present, Creator Daoists would not be so few and far between.

Han Jue stared at Han Ling, maintaining his smile.

The evil spirit of the Endless Era indeed possessed top-tier Aptitude, the kind needed to become a Creator Daoist. It was precisely because his Aptitude was so outstanding that he drew the envy of others. After conflicts broke out and constant slaughter ensued, he lost himself in his own power and eventually became an evil spirit in the eyes of all beings.

In truth, that fellow wasn't an evil spirit. He was the possessor of the strongest Aptitude born in the Zhongyuan Realm so far, and his future achievement would be that of a Creator Daoist. That was why the Great Dao Supremes could not see through his future. Because they couldn't, they mistook him for a calamity.

However, the fact that Han Ling had her sights on him was likely not that simple.

Han Jue asked, "What do you want to do?"

Han Ling said, "I'm just curious, how far is my Aptitude from attaining the status of a Creator Daoist?"

Creator Daoist!

Han Liang heard this and became even more confused. What was this now?

Han Jue said, "All you need is time."

Han Huang, Han Ling, and Han Liang all had the Aptitude to become Creator Daoists and possessed the necessary providence. In contrast, the other children fell quite short.

Han Ling followed up by asking, "What is your opinion on that evil spirit?"

Han Jue said, "I don't care."

Han Ling nodded. After a few more pleasantries between father and daughter, Han Ling took her leave.

After she left, Han Jue sighed softly, "The human heart is unpredictable, and the heart of a Saint is even more so."

Han Liang scratched his head and asked, "What does that mean?"

"Nothing. Will you change in the future?"

"I will! I'll become even more powerful in the future, hehe."

"Silly boy."

"Hehe."

Han Liang thought his grandfather was praising him and smiled even more foolishly.

Han Jue shook his head.

He had already seen through Han Ling's ambition. Ever since the Great Dao Calamity ended, Han Ling felt her Imperial Soldiers weren't strong enough. She had come up with a bold idea and succeeded.

She planned to refine Living Spirits into Imperial Soldiers, so their Dharmic powers and Aptitude could benefit her.

Now, she had her sights set on the evil spirit of the Zhongyuan Realm.
