It was on an ordinary planet that Yao Mun first came into contact with a member of the destruction race.
The member of the destruction race was hiding far below the ground and planning a large-scale attack on the planet.
He was at the peak of the inner world realm and would not be noticed by anyone on the planet.
Of course, that was only if Yao Mun had not coincidentally arrived. Yao Mun watched the member of the destruction race move about as he began to remember what he had heard about them.
After a few days of observation, Yao Mun appeared in front of the member of the destruction race.
The member of the destruction race instantly reacted when Yao Mun appeared, but Yao Mun simply stood there, causing the member of the destruction race to stop moving as well.
"I am Yao Mun, someone from the same time period as Ying Xiong. I need you to send a message to the king of the destruction race. Tell him that I, Yao Mun, request to join the destruction race as an enemy of Heaven and all life in the universe." Yao Mun said.
This member of the destruction race was one with intelligence, and although he was ready to self-destruct if needed, he contacted one of the 21 destruction lords, who connected to the king of the destruction race.
At this time, Yao Mun seemed much different compared to before. His eye still gave off a sense of horror, but he was calm, eerily calm. Nobody could guess his thoughts after being reborn.
Eventually, the member of the destruction race spoke.
"One of the 21 destruction lords is coming. He will check you out and decide to take you or not. The king has allowed the possibility."
Although the destruction race had infiltrated almost everywhere with spies, they had also been infiltrated themselves, or at least, there had been attempts.
All those who had joined them had been killed before taking any traitorous action. There were very few cultivators strong enough to join the destruction race who were able to maintain a true relationship.
Yao Mun quietly waited for multiple weeks before a force surrounded him and dragged him away. When he was finally able to use any of his senses again, he was in a large black throne room. Around him were a few of the 21 destruction lords, and in front of him was the king of the destruction race, Lin Zhenwu, sitting on a throne, looking at him curiously.
"Yao Mun. From Ying Xiong's era? But why have I never heard of you? Someone who can live this long should be well known." Lin Zhenwu said.
Yao Mun responded "The only ones who would know me would be Ying Xiong, Heaven, and the origin god."
The king of the destruction race's eyes widened upon hearing the name of the origin god. "You say that the origin god would know you?"
His tone was not understandable, but contained repressed emotions.
Yao Mun nodded. "He would. After all, he is the one that gave me my power."
The king of the destruction race became even more serious than before. "So not only would the origin god know you, but you've met him?"
Yao Mun shook his head. "No. I've only heard his voice as he offered me power."
The king of the destruction race sneered. "So how would you know that it was he who gave you your power?"
Yao Mun looked up and swung down with his arm. His arm disintegrated as it lowered and an attack with the power of the 3rd level of the god realm was released. The king of the destruction race easily destroyed it, but there was now shock on his face.
"Who else could have given me such talent, especially so many years ago?"
The king of the destruction race nodded. "It seems so. You want to join the destruction race. Why?"
Yao Mun took a book from his spatial ring and sat it down.
There was no need to open it. Almost all powerful people knew of its existence. It was useless for anyone at the true god realm as the condition of killing someone a realm above was impossible, and who at the god realm could kill a true god? Even if they could, they would likely have talent at the immortal godking rank, the peak of the universe. The technique was usually only useful for those in the lower levels, but what about Yao Mun?
"I am confident in killing someone at the god realm, but if I start a fight, it will attract too much attention and I will be surrounded and killed. I need the help of the destruction race."
Lin Zhenwu nodded. "And what can you give in return?"
From a common viewpoint, it was better to not let such a person live.
Yao Mun lowered his head and kneeled on the ground. "I can serve the destruction race."
The king of the destruction race seemed satisfied at his actions. "Alright then. I, Lin Zhenwu, declare you a member of the destruction race. I will raise you as far as you can go. Come, tell me about the past."
Yao Mun walked to a different place with the king of the destruction race and chatted. The entire time, he seemed like a servant.
It seemed a far cry compared to the Yao Mun of before.
A few trillion years later, the destruction race caused a great commotion, grabbing the attention of many true gods of the righteous faction, as well as Ying Xiong.
Ying Xiong was no longer simply a threat to the destruction race, he was a calamity. With his current cultivation level, he could single handedly destroy the destruction race.
Naturally, the destruction race had completely vanished by the time he arrived.
At the same time, he got a report of a god realm cultivator being killed. His anger shot into the skies.
With the death of the god realm cultivator, killed by Yao Mun himself, whose battle style seemed much different compared to before, Yao Mun's meridians reached the peak of the immortal king rank.
He had already managed to increase his talent a bit from his immortal 1 rank meridians of the past while reaching the inner world realm. As for how he could reach the inner world realm at all, his eye was a great contributor.
