Pain is the only thing that can foster growth.

Although this statement is cruel, it's a fact.

No matter how appealing the slogans of the Human Emperor are, or how perfectly round the promises are drawn, none compare to the grandeur of stepping forward in times of difficulty to avert imminent disaster.

A top healer who cures diseases before they appear merely proves his medical skill but cannot make him a famous doctor. However, lifting a patient from a serious illness can...

Duge is kindhearted but not foolish.

...

Undisturbed, in less than half an hour, Duge completely absorbed all the Blood Qi remaining in the blood pool, and even stripped the Blood Qi clean from the bodies of the several Daluo Golden Immortals.

With the Blood Qi stripped away, the strengths of the several Daluo Golden Immortals plummeted, and they were forced to take Elixirs to restore their vital energy.

Duge retracted the Samadhi True Water into the Profound Primordial Water Control Banner and opened up his personal panel.

The value of his spiritual power soared to over two billion three hundred million.

Compared to the eight million-plus spiritual power he had when he first entered the Alien Battlefield, this number was simply dreamlike.

Old Gao was right, the greater the storm, the more expensive the fish.

Not just his spiritual power, but after absorbing the remaining Blood Qi, Duge's physique underwent a tremendous transformation as every cell in his body seemed to cheer and jump for joy.

The keyword's repair was only meant for the body itself and couldn't achieve Limb Regeneration, but now, Duge silently exerted his power and cut off one of his fingers.

Before, he needed to recover his finger while the wound was still fresh, relying on the keyword's power of repair to restore his finger, but now, in just a short moment, a brand new finger grew from the wound.

And his loss was just a bit of his Blood Qi.

Having cultivated the Blood Law, he had nearly reached the Realm of being undying and unbreakable.

Keep in mind, even the previous Solar God didn't possess this ability; once his head was chopped off, he truly died.

The only flaw of an Alien Warrior had been remedied by the Blood Law.

However, it was regrettable that Duge had searched his Divine Soul high and low but still hadn't located the mechanism planted there by Pan-Universe Entertainment.

If such a powerful soul was summoned back, leaving behind such a formidable body for Pan-Universe Entertainment to take control of, no matter how good a reputation he built for the Human Emperor in this world, the world would still fall into bloodshed and violence, wouldn't it!

He must find a way to cut ties with Pan-Universe Entertainment in this world, Duge solemnly resolved.

This was the strongest body he had shaped so far, and he was not willing to leave it for Pan-Universe Entertainment...

...

"Thank you, senior, for your lifesaving grace,"

the disciples of the Taixuan Emperor, who had regained their senses, stood before Duge and thanked him in unison, but their eyes carried a hint of wariness as they looked at him.

After all, they had also seen that Duge had cultivated the Blood Law.

While they were currently safe and sound, their master had secretly practiced the Blood Law for over a million years, concealing it exceptionally well. He had been to the Heavenly Court so many times without being detected, so who knows whether Duge might become like their master in the future, a disaster for the world.

With its quick cultivation pace and immense power, few could resist the temptation of such a rapid increase in power.

"Don't be afraid, I am not like your master. I am an Incarnation of Heaven, already standing at the pinnacle of the world. I won't lose myself in pursuit of power," Duge saw through their thoughts and said, "Power is neither good nor bad; what's most important is not to let great power sway one's heart. I have the Way of the Human Emperor and also possess various methods of becoming a saint. In the future, I will merge with the Heavenly Dao. To me, the Blood Law is merely an aid."

The crowd fell silent, but skepticism still lingered in their expressions.

"You would understand if you went through my experiences," Duge said with a carefree smile. "But since you are proficient in the Blood Law, don't stray from the right path again. I might have saved you this time, but there might not be a next time."

"We will heed the senior's advice," someone stepped forward to thank Duge.

"What is your name?" Duge asked.

"Replying to senior, this junior is Xiang Qingfeng, a third-generation disciple of the Emperor, and has followed the Emperor for more than a million years," the man said.

"Good," Duge nodded to him, "Qingfeng, your master has fallen into evil, and to enhance his own strength, he will surely go on a rampage in Middle Heavenly State to siphon Blood Qi. You and your fellow disciples must set off immediately to alert the nations' populace of Middle Heavenly State about what has happened. Tell them not to panic, as the Human Emperor will do everything in his power to protect the Human Race, and I am with them.

Then, with utmost urgency, assemble all available Yin Gods to spread the Way of the Human Emperor, awaken the Literary and Martial Hearts among the people, which might increase their chances of survival."

"Senior, we have been in seclusion for many years and do not know what the Way of the Human Emperor is," Xiang Qingfeng frowned.

Duge chuckled, "The Way of the Human Emperor has already been widely spread. You might not know, but the Five Heavenly Lords who govern the Middle Heavenly State are well aware; just have them assist you in the promotion..."

Several Daluo Golden Immortals took their orders and departed.

Duge glanced over the many Immortals who had been drained into mummies by the Taixuan Emperor, sighed, and also left the Taixuan Dongtian.

...

Locating the Taixuan Emperor was remarkably easy since tasting fresh Blood Qi, he couldn't suppress his own desires.

The moment he stepped out of the Taixuan Dongtian, all the creatures that caught his sight were devoured by him.

After practicing the Blood Law, Duge successfully expanded his perception range to tens of thousands of miles. In his senses, a straight line of desolation headed directly toward the eastern part of Middle Heavenly State.

The east of Middle Heavenly State is primarily plain, suitable for cultivation, with several major nations located there, boasting a population of at least several billion.
