“Aiyah, aiyah… Why are these reports all praising me?

“Isn’t there anyone who wants to slander or defame me?”

An Lin looked at the stack of newspapers before him. The headline of each newspaper was about him, and they all lauded and praised him with extremely colorful words. In fact, he had seen so many of these headlines that they couldn’t even stir his emotion anymore.

“You’re the number one God of War of the Tai Chu Continent, so who will dare to slander you?” Xu Xiaolan said as she swayed her long and slender legs while sitting beside him. She smiled and continued, “Whoever dares to slander you will be drowned by the spit of your eighty billion retarded superfans!”

An Lin was stunned. “That many?”

“Sister Xiaolan is already being modest. According to unofficial estimates, Giant An Lin’s number of superfans has already exceeded one hundred billion! In fact, you have many worshippers even in the enemy camp.” Tina couldn’t help but click her tongue in wonder as she looked at the statistics that Bai Ling had sent over.

“That’s true. To say nothing of our allies slandering you, even our enemies such as the Dark Marshlands, Creation Realm, and Western Dragon Forest have few newspapers slandering you.

“At most, they’ll just take advantage of the fact that you’re the Heavenly Darkness God to try to cause a rift. However, as long as they’re not fools, no one would believe such reports.”

Xu Xiaolan was extremely pleased as she read through the newspaper. Although these opinions couldn’t affect the direction of the battle, reading them was still an incredibly satisfying thing to do!

She loved it when others praised An Lin.

However, An Lin felt increasingly melancholy when he heard these comments. Was this the life that he desired? No, it wasn’t. What he needed was for countless people to doubt and oppose him. That being the case, he could then forcefully rise up and furiously smack these people’s faces. He could enjoy a life of flexing and showing off before others.

What fun was there in being someone who was high and mighty and revered by countless people?

An Lin suddenly recalled something and asked in curiosity, “Oh, that’s right. Didn’t the Heavenly Lord of Dao and Virtue also come over to lend a hand? Where has he gone now?”

“I don’t know. He left just as suddenly as he came, and he didn’t communicate with us at all. The reason for his appearance was simply to force the three Supreme Heavenly Gods to retreat,” Xu Xiaolan replied with an expression of pity.

“Then did his appearance signify that he’s going to join our Heaven Crushing Sect?” An Lin asked, suddenly feeling a little happy. That was a supremely powerful being!

“Most likely not.” Xu Xiaolan hesitated for a moment before continuing, “The Heavenly Lord of Dao and Virtue is a member of the Heaven Mending Sect. However, ever since you were rescued by Tina, Nuwa and the Heavenly Lord of Dao and Virtue’s attitude toward us has become a little more ambiguous. Although they haven’t given up on mending the heavens, they might also not be able to hold themselves back from helping us crush the heavens…”

An Lin suddenly felt a headache forming upon hearing Xu Xiaolan’s reply.

In reality, he didn’t dislike the idea of mending the heavens. Moreover, he felt that Nuwa’s actions had been reasonable and not worthy of blame. However, her current attitude was such that he couldn’t get a good read on her plans anymore.

Perhaps she had been moved by his resolute struggle?

Or perhaps Nuwa had seen the death and destruction of too many beings, so her heart of a saint willed her to stop this catastrophe?

“Forget about it. Let’s not mull over this stuff.

“Little Na, Xiaolan and I will accompany you to stroll around Yue Tong City. This city is extremely beautiful, and there’s a lot of places that are worth visiting,” An Lin said.

“That sounds great! I still haven’t had a chance to look around this city yet,” Tina said in excitement.

“There are heaps of delicacies in this city, and I can take you around to try them all!” Xu Xiaolan was also brimming with eagerness. She wanted to find sparks of inspiration to hone her skills as a chef.

Tina’s eyes lit up, and she shouted, “Long live Sister Xiaolan! Then I’ll also reciprocate this gesture. Since Sister Xiaolan is taking me to eat delicious foods, I’ll teach Sister Xiaolan some secrets of the God of Creation Stage!”

“These secrets can be taught?” An Lin asked in astonishment.

“Of course! However, it’s just some guidance that can help Sister Xiaolan avoid taking the wrong paths. The most important factor is still her own comprehension. This is something that can’t be taught.”

Tina patted her chest as she said this with confidence.

“Then I’ll leave it to Little Na.” They were all good friends, so there was naturally no need for Xu Xiaolan to reject this offer out of modesty.

“Leave it to me!” Little Na was brimming with confidence.

The secrets that she was teaching Xiaolan were, in fact, secrets that Xiaolan had shown her after reaching the God of Creation Stage.1

In other words, strictly speaking, it was actually Xiaolan who was teaching herself…

This had little to do with Tina.

However, Tina had perfected the secrets according to her own experiences, so this would allow Xiaolan to comprehend them more easily. Moreover, it would prevent her from making mistakes and going down the wrong paths.

As for comprehension, there was almost no need to worry about this.

After all, Xu Xiaolan definitely possessed enough talent!

It was only a matter of time before she advanced to the God of Creation Stage!

Just like that, An Lin, Xu Xiaolan, and Tina started their leisurely and carefree life.

It was as if the Tai Chu Continent had become calm and peaceful again.

Upon learning of Tina’s return, Da Bai, Little Gu, Xiao Hong, and Little Tian all sent messages of congratulations. If it weren’t for the ongoing war, they would have definitely traversed half the continent to visit this adorable little fairy!

On the street of maple leaves.

The maple leaves were red like fire as they flittered and danced in the air.

Tina stuffed her little mouth with kernels of crunchy and fresh spirit corn. As she ate, she said, “Sister Xiaolan, if you want to advance to the God of Creation Stage, you have to first find an essential power that belongs to you.”

“Essential power?” Xu Xiaolan asked in thought.

“Yes, essential power is the most fundamental power of this world. It can be said that it’s the essence of all matter and the root of all Dao. This is a very high-level power, and after reaching a certain point, even the Heavenly Dao of the Tai Chu Continent won’t be able to interfere with it.

“This is also why God of Creation Stage divine beings are unafraid of the threat of the Heavenly Dao. This is the root of their confidence. It’s because they already wield the most fundamental power of this world. In fact, they can even use this essential power to create a new Heavenly Dao!”

Xu Xiaolan nodded slightly upon hearing this. She then extended a finger and summoned a wisp of vermilion red Holy Vermilion Flame on her fingertip. “It seems like my Vermilion Bird Power contains a wisp of Vermilion Bird Essential Power after I fuse the might of my Holy Berth into it?”

Tina nodded and said, “This is indeed essential power. However, this isn’t an essential power that you comprehended by yourself. Rather, it’s an essential power that you inherited. Although you can still rely on this Vermilion Bird Essential Power to advance to the God of Creation Stage, attempting to use this inherited essential power to create a world will be incredibly difficult…”

Xu Xiaolan raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, “So…?”

“I suggest that you comprehend a new essential power,” Tina replied. “You can attempt to create an all-new essential power by fusing the Divine Dao of the Vermilion Bird with the Divine Dao of the Azure Dragon. You can create a Holy Beast Essential Power that combines the paramount characteristics of the four Holy Beasts!”

“This…” Xu Xiaolan was astounded by Tina’s suggestion.

She had indeed considered this option before. However, she hadn’t imagined that she would also hear it from the mouth of another person. This was an insane and heaven-defying idea.

If she succeeded, she would become a supreme being who was superior to the four Holy Beasts!

She would become the paramount leader of the hundreds of millions of beast tribes!

“Sister Xiaolan, don’t turn down this idea yet. I can explain my thought process to you,” Tina said earnestly.

An Lin was filled with a sense of indescribable envy as he chomped on a hotdog and looked at the two beautiful women who were engaged in a spirited discussion beside him. He was truly envious of those who could open the heavens and create a new world…

Meanwhile, he was a trashy Dao Integration Stage cultivator who could only look on in confusion. He couldn’t interject at all…
