Lieyan Yuan easily walked off the throne of the God King.

"Master!

"

Lieyan Zhong, a bloodline warrior of the Blaze Family, roared from where he knelt on one knee.

The Blood Emperor Li Xin and the patriarch of the evil dragons, Brocklehurst, all looked dazedly at Lieyan Yuan.

In their eyes, Lieyan Yuan was not that type of man.

Lieyan Yuan had spent great effort meticulously planning his ascension to the God King throne. They did not believe Lieyan Yuan would give it up so easily.

Even the family patriarchs that had come with Qin Lie were stunned.

And so was Qin Lie.

"What?

" Lieyan Yuan looked in puzzlement at the group. His gaze landed on Qin Lie.

"Do you not want this position? I will give it to you now, what problem do you have?

"

"I do not want to sit on this position, I just want you to step down!

" Qin Lie said gravely.

"I have stepped down.

" Lieyan Yuan smiled slightly.

Inside the Temple of Gods, everyone looked in shock at Lieyan Yuan, not knowing what he was planning.

"I originally left this position for you. When I enter the ultimate realm, the throne of the God King... will not mean anything to me.

" Lieyan Yuan's expression was relaxed as he said,

"An Hao, I am very happy the five of you are willing to trust Qin Lie. If you all think that Qin Lie is more suitable to the throne of the God King than me, I will give it up now. As long as you do not scheme and support him wholeheartedly, there is nothing I cannot accept.

"

He narrowed his eyes, and a hint of murderous intent appeared.

"But if you work for your own interests. Ha, do not blame me for being merciless!

"

He seemed to suddenly be on Qin Lie's side. His attitude of trying to get the best for Qin Lie's interests stunned everyone.

Qin Lie and the five family patriarchs who wanted him to step down were puzzled and did not know what to do.

"Lieyan Yuan! What do you really want?

" An Hao snorted.

"You created such waves in the Eight Purgatories, you sealed Spirit Realm, you allowed the shadow beings to do as they please, and threw Qin Hao into the spatial gap. Your goal shouldn't be just relinquishing power.

"

"Oh. I do not like Qin Hao. I have no good feelings for him. As for Spirit Realm...

" He shook his head and said carelessly,

"Just a remote realm. I do not care about its existence.

"

"Qin Lie is different.

"

"He is my grandson, he is my blood relative, and he is also my masterpiece!

"

"His existence, his strength all prove the greatness of my Perfect Blood! Of course I wouldn’t want him to be ruined!

"

"The more accomplished he is, the more he proves my power. If I kill him, I will contradict myself!

"

Kuang Jue said disdainfully,

"You created him but didn't you do so for yourself? Don't you want him to complete the Perfect Blood so you can harvest the mature fruit?

"

"Who told you this?

" Lieyan Yuan said coldly.

"You do not want to possess Perfect Blood so you can challenge the Imperial Soul Monarch after reaching the ultimate realm?

" An Hao said.

Qin Lie also said coldly,

"Why did you leave your flame imprint in the Ancient Life Tree? Not to control me?

"

"I only hoped to know what was happening in your bloodline through the flame imprint. This way, if anything happened to you, I would know immediately,

" Lieyan Yuan explained.

"Really?

" Qin Lie's expression was cold.

"Really.

" Lieyan Yuan smiled slightly.

"Also, since everything you have done is for Qin Lie, then leave God Realm now. We will persuade all the elders to support Qin Lie as the new God King!

" Han Che shouted.

"Alright.

" Lieyan Yuan unexpectedly agreed.

Qin Lie and the five family patriarchs were stunned.

"Master!

" Lieyan Zhong shouted.

Lieyan Yuan waved his hand to suppress his excitement. Then he looked at Qin Lie with a smile and said,

"I will give this position to you now.

"

Then he suddenly tore a spatial crack and said to Lieyan Zhong, Li Xin and the other subordinates.

"Return with me to Nine Lights Realm.

"

He was the first to leave the Temple of Gods.

Confused, Li Xin, Lieyan Zhong, and the patriarch of the Evil Dragon Race followed him and disappeared from the Temple of Gods.

"What, what... is going on? I feel like my understanding of this person is even worse than before,

" Lieyan Zhao murmured.

An Hao and the others were silent. They were clearly confused and did not know why Lieyan Yuan had suddenly changed his attitude.

Qin Lie was even more puzzled.

Before coming here, he hated Lieyan Yuan to the bone. He hated the things that Lieyan Yuan had done in secret, and wanted to have a conflict to force him out of God Realm.

He had not expected Lieyan Yuan to give up everything and elegantly leave God Realm before he even acted.

He felt that Lieyan Yuan was not so generous.

Something was wrong.

"What about you?

" He looked at An Hao.

An Hao slowly shook his head, his expression grave.

"I do not know what happened. I feel that something has suddenly happened and disrupted Lieyan Yuan's steps so he has to adjust his plans.

"

"It must be this! He had the Blood Emperor and Lieyan Zhong demand the Flesh Filling Tombstones. He clearly knew what we had planned and was making preparations!

" Kuang Jue snorted.

"His original plan must have included fighting us. For some unknown reason, he suddenly gave up!

"

"Pity we do not know that reason.

" Han Che was worried.

"Strange.

" Qin Lie was slightly restless.

……

Nine Lights Realm.

Lieyan Yuan, who had been at ease, came out of the spatial crack and his eyes turned dark.

Flames spread with him as the center and the surrounding space was shattered with explosions.

"Master! Why?

" Lieyan Zhong shouted.

"Stay here!

" Lieyan Yuan shouted. His flaming body flashed and disappeared from Nine Lights Realm.

In the next moment, he appeared in the outer realm chaotic streams of space that Qin Hao had been exiled to previously.

The Great Sage of the Spirit Race, Tian Qi, seemed to have been waiting for him. Tian Qi's eyelids moved when he arrived. He said,

"Apologies, Qin Lie cannot die right now.”

"My race's Indigo's bloodline has reached rank nine. She used the Scepter of Fate and saw some scattered scenes.

"

"The Saint God of the shadow beings has completely awakened. He is going to cross space with the ten Saints of the shadow beings.

"

"Indigo has a more mysterious bloodline than I. With the power of the Scepter of Fate, she saw the key to fighting the shadow beings is not the two of us.

"

"It is Qin Lie and Qin Hao.

"

"Unless you and I reach the ultimate realm quickly, we will not be able to easily fend off the Saint God that can match the Imperial Soul Monarch.

"

Tian Qi paused here and said,

"There is also good news.

"

"What?

" Lieyan Yuan said angrily.

"You and I can go for the ultimate realm now. We do not have to worry about disruptions from the Imperial Soul Monarch,

" Tian Qi said.

"What is it?

" Lieyan Yuan was surprised.

"Thamur of the Soul Race has become the new patriarch of the Soul Race. Despite unleashing bloody massacre in the Soul Race, the Imperial Soul Monarch hasn’t appeared.

" Tian Qi hesitated and said,

"Indigo was not able to see any scenes regarding the Imperial Soul Monarch in the future. Maybe our previous speculation was correct. The Imperial Soul Monarch was grievously wounded in the fight with the Saint God of the shadow beings and passed away not long after he returned. Otherwise, he would not have been completely silent all this time without any signs of waking up or moving in the shadows.

"

"This is good news!

" Lieyan Yuan shouted.
