Chapter 1473 Billions of Years! Expanding the Team 2 (Page 12)
Three chapters in one!
"I remember."
Listening to Valtran's self-introduction, Yang Dong responded in a very serious tone.
Although, under his "charm," Vatland had chosen to become one of His subordinate gods, He still had to maintain the respect due to a deity.
This has nothing to do with anything else; it's just some ideas formed based on one's own understanding.
"Then, Valtran, are there any other beings on this continent who have followed a path similar to or opposite to yours?"
"Through these few encounters, you should have already figured out what kind of path I am taking. It shouldn't be difficult to filter through the beings you know based on that."
Upon hearing this, a figure immediately came to mind for Vatland.
"My Lord God, among the demigods I know, there is indeed a very suitable candidate who possesses a completely different system from mine."
"His name is Omit, but people prefer to call him the Celestial Master Zhi. He is a powerful figure who is qualified to stand alongside me and enjoys a great reputation on the continent."
Yang Dong's eyes lit up. Wasn't this the perfect candidate to be recruited into his team?
Varland is known to the world as the Lord of Thunder, and he wields a power very similar to the Authority of Motion, or even another manifestation of the Authority of Motion.
In stark contrast to the power He wielded, Omit, who was also known as the Lord of Stillness, most likely wielded another manifestation of the power of stillness.
"If we can take down this Omit, then we'll have dealt with the two original protectors of my team, won't we?"
Thinking of this, Yang Dong immediately asked Vatland to take him to find Omit, as he was eager to bring this second great vengeful spirit protector under his command.
As for whether what Varland is saying now might be motivated by ulterior motives, or whether he actually wants to join forces with others to harm him.
Yang Dong is not worried about this.
Putting aside the fact that through several battles, Yang Dong had largely determined the nature of Valtland, and his pride prevented him from doing something so tasteless.
Even if he misjudged Yang Dong, he has not yet revealed his full strength. At worst, he will suppress everything with his absolute power.
However, if it really comes to that, Yang Dong will certainly not keep Valtland, but will choose to ruthlessly bury him completely.
The same applies to the demigod who had already decided to cling to Yang Dong's coattails, but was temporarily staying by his side as a friend.
Thinking of the dynamic and static sub-god, Yang Dong felt that he was really lucky.
Having only been on this supercontinent for a few epochs, he has already encountered three (including the Celestial Venerable Zhi, whom he has not yet met) demigods whose systems are very compatible with his own.
Based on this probability, Yang Dong felt it would be very difficult to find a fourth such demigod on the supercontinent.
Zhen Tianzun, Zhi Tianzun, and the Sub-God of Movement and Stillness are probably the only Sub-Gods on the supercontinent who walk a path similar to movement and stillness.
Oh! I forgot to mention!
The name of the sub-god of motion and stillness is Dominio.
He is a powerful being who is slightly stronger than Varland, and the title people praise him for is not the Demigod of Movement and Stillness, but the Lord of Cycles.
However, Dominio never made a point of mentioning this in front of Yang Dong, and Yang Dong always referred to him by his name.
……
The 15rd era of the divine calendar.
After a very "long" journey for Yang Dong, the three demigods finally found the Celestial Lord Omit, who was located in another realm of the continent.
This macroscopic possibility stems from the fact that the core entity is this vast and boundless supercontinent, whose spatiotemporal stability, as well as the composition of matter, energy, and various concepts, is ridiculously robust.
With the power of a demigod, although he can tear through space and time or merge with the authority representing himself to travel, the distance he can advance each time is still far less than that of other macroscopic possibilities.
But this is already the fastest way to get there.
Otherwise, on this continent where the difficulty of exceeding the speed of light has been magnified many times over, traveling by flight would likely require many more eras to traverse the current distance.
Of course, the reason why Yang Dong felt that time was long was not because his concept of time was the same as those short-lived species, but simply because he was too young, which made the current time seem a bit long.
When He has lived through many more eras or become a great god, He will extend His essential concept to the past, present, and future. A few eras will be nothing more than a blink of an eye for Him.
After finally finding Zhi Tianzun, Yang Dong did not immediately resort to brutal methods. Instead, he chose to let Zhen Tianzun and Dominio talk to Him first.
This is where the benefits of the initial formation of Yang Dong's team become apparent.
If He were still alone and wanted to subdue another demigod of the same level as Him, promising that the other party would become His servant in the future, the other party would inevitably think that He was out of his mind, just like Zhen Tianzun did.
This inevitably leads to the use of violent measures, gradually subduing the other party with absolute power, and there is no guarantee that this method will be successful.
However, when the other recruited demigods discover that Yang Dong already has several demigods who have chosen to submit, his attitude will change drastically.
At least the other party won't think that Yang Dong is mentally ill.
Even if the other party still chooses to refuse, Yang Dong believes that the difficulty of subduing them will be greatly reduced.
Sure enough, after being repeatedly described and persuaded by Zhen Tianzun and Dominio, Zhi Tianzun, whose personality was originally quite peaceful, was actually somewhat moved by their words.
However, in the extraordinary world, strength still prevails. This slight attraction was not enough for Zhi Tianzun to make an immediate decision. He still needed to personally "talk" with Yang Dong.
The "talk" here doesn't refer to chemotherapy, but rather a real, head-on confrontation using pure strength.
As a result, in the days that followed, many beings with considerable strength within a radius of hundreds of billions of light-years all sensed a continuous and massive fluctuation.
That was the afterglow of the battle between the demigods.
Although it did not cause damage to more distant areas, it still caused those who sensed the disturbance to obediently retreat to more distant places for the time being.
After all, they haven't been affected yet, but who knows if they will be affected later? Let's find a safer place to hide for a while first.
……
It must be said that the decision made by those who chose to temporarily retreat was very wise, at least much luckier than those who remained indifferent.
Not long after the aftershocks of the demigod spread, the sparring between the two demigods affected this area, making those who had not retreated regret it deeply.
Space was pierced, time was disrupted, and the torrent of energy combined with the upheaval of concepts left many who wanted to retreat with nowhere to run.
Mountains stretching for tens or even hundreds of millions of light-years or other natural phenomena were destroyed, and the ruins left behind presented a distinct pattern.
The violent kinetic energy destroyed everything, but the area on the other side remained completely still.
Even a battle between demigods, which can hardly be called a life-or-death spar, is an unbearable disaster for countless lives.
However, it must be said that the impact of the battle with the demigods was genuinely beneficial to the progress of countless lives.
The ruins destroyed and affected by the demigods have become sacred places that countless lives flock to, allowing beings on related paths to comprehend and even hope to reach higher levels.
……
The 16rd era of the divine calendar.
The sparring match ended a little faster than expected.
It took Yang Dong over a million years, spanning multiple epochs, to finally subdue Zhen Tianzun, but now it only took him a little over an epoch.
Zhen Tianzun and Dominio deserve a lot of credit for this; otherwise, it would have been a long process of "training".
After all the fluctuations gradually subsided, the foundation of Yang Dong's future dual-element balance god was finally established completely.
The foundation that Yang Dong has always wanted to build has never referred to the followers and clans within the divine realm, but rather a proper pantheon that is truly qualified to communicate and discuss with Him, and is even only slightly inferior to Yang Dong, the main god, in terms of divine status, and can even provide Him with many suggestions in certain situations.
This kind of team is not unique to Yang Dong, but rather a consensus among all members of the Sun God Clan.
However, there are very few members of the Sun God Clan who have actually given birth to truly great gods. Most of them are demigods who built their pantheon from the status of gods.
However, as time goes on, those members of the Sun God Clan who are willing to build a pantheon will eventually be able to completely perfect the entire pantheon.
The only difference is the timing.
In order to build a complete pantheon, it is not enough to simply accept a large number of demigods indiscriminately. The structure of the pantheon must be centered on the main god, and the other members must also conform to the overall "style".
This makes it a very time-consuming task even for great gods to find members of their pantheon who perfectly match their desires.
Even with their eyes on a wide range of possibilities, the Dawn Gods have yet to find many suitable matches.
[Yang Dong] He is really lucky.
……
The 23rd era of the divine calendar.
More than 200 million years have passed since Yang Dong recruited the two generals Zhen and Zhi, but he has not found any other suitable candidates to join his team.
Dominio, the Lord of Cycles, remains with them as Yang Dong's earliest friend, traveling together across the entire supercontinent.
As his mood gradually calmed down and he observed from a different perspective, Yang Dong easily discovered more things worthy of his attention within this macroscopic possibility.
Over the endless years, Yang Dong has no intention of focusing on just one single goal; he plans to cultivate more hobbies with a broad mind.
During this time, the three demigods also learned some unusual truths from Yang Dong, and they also learned about the existence of the Creator God race behind Him, who took pleasure in creating endless worlds and universes.
This made both Zhen Tianzun and Zhi Tianzun extremely grateful that they had made the right choice back then, and they would be even more grateful for this in the future.
After learning the truth, Dominio, after another period of struggle, decisively chose to completely cling to Yang Dong's coattails.
And so, Yang Dong's team has gained another member!
As time went on, news about their small group spread, eventually attracting the attention of more powerful individuals.
Especially when some of these existences were fully confirmed, and it was found that this small group revered Yang Dong, and that the other three demigods had actually been subdued by Him, the resulting shock was absolutely visible to the naked eye.
Among them were some demigods with ulterior motives who set their sights on them.
Perhaps Yang Dong simply wanted to travel normally, and have a good fight with some worthy opponents when he encountered them. He didn't have any other intentions, let alone the idea of ruling the entire supercontinent.
