A Plan - 577

Although it was possible for others to see the message hidden within if they really tried, Ye Li did not fear such a thing.

First of all, he had activated the Karmic Shackles before the fight ended. The Buddha had been able to ignore it for a second in order to send out one last attack, but that was it.

Their injuries, while not as serious as his, were not easy to heal from. The power of Karma was able to create a lasting effect.

Second, even if they did see the message and attack him at the Death Universe, the God of Death was still there. If they teamed up, they would not necessarily lose against the three from before.

Ye Li entered the Death Universe and the God of Death was able to sense him instantly.

A giant bone ship appeared, with the God of Death standing at the front.

"What could you possibly want to talk to me about?" Ye Li asked.

"Path Creator stuff, of course." The God of Death responded.

Ye Li waited for him to continue.

"You see, our paths seem somewhat similar. I get my power from Death, while you kill beings as well."

Ye Li shook his head. "No. They simply die as a result of what I do."

The God of Death shrugged his shoulders. "Regardless, it doesn't matter to me. As you can tell, my Path is not something that any of those in the Main Universe want to see advancing. Our similarities lie not necessarily in our power, but how it affects beings. The outcome, regardless, is Death."

Ye Li spoke. "Skip to the part where you want something."

The God of Death's face could not be seen under his cloak, but it felt as if he was smiling. 

"I want to slaughter Universal Sector 6."

Even Ye Li was shocked by his words. Universal Sector 6 was no ordinary Universal Sector. It had more beings than the rest of the Universe combined. If they were to slaughter it, rivers of blood would literally flow throughout the Universe.

"Such grand ambitions are not my style." Ye Li said, though he did not reject this plan.

"I know. You prefer to stay low and hide. However, this is a chance for both of us to reach the Peak. Even if we split it in half, it should be more than enough."

Ye Li agreed. He was tempted, extremely tempted, but such a thing would require immense… planning.

Ye Li realized and looked at the God of Death. "Even if we teamed up, it would most likely be impossible to succeed against those three, especially if they fought with their lives. What you need is not my fighting power, but my scheming."

The God of Death did not deny it. "So. What do you say?"

Ye Li could not stop himself from slightly smiling. "Let's begin."

Years passed since the fight in the Battle Universe and the meeting between Ye Li and the God of Death.

The injuries from the Karmic Shackles had been truly terrifying and difficult to heal, but all three eventually managed to heal it without issue.

The Buddha could be considered to have joined Yoha and Yhwh in their goal of defeating Ye Li. In order to protect Earth, his place of birth, defeating Ye Li was necessary.

Otherwise, it would be an eternal target.

The three tried to stay near each other, but they all had things they cared about and wanted to protect. The Buddha had Earth, Yoha had his Mini-Universe, and Yhwh had Universal Sector 6.

Each of these things were far away from each other, but they were Path Creators. Even going across the entire Universe would not take too long. They only worried that even a second would be too much.

Teleportation arrays would not help much. A teleportation array would have to be immensely powerful to teleport someone across the Universe.

That was why there were so many teleportation hubs around. Some only acted as a go between 99% of the time.

As always, it was impossible to find Ye Li or destroy something he cared about since he cared about nothing but himself.

They could not even protect potential targets as the places where they stayed were the greatest targets possible.

Trillions of years passed. 

Yhwh had not really grown in power or variability during this time. It was impossible to grow his power of Faith any further.

Even if he gained more believers, the power of Faith within him had reached a limit and it would not fuse with his beings as the others had.

Of course, his faith still technically increased with new living beings, and as a result the quantity he could output was greater, but the quality was still the same.

He wasn't quite sure how to even theoretically go beyond this level. It was a struggle that all Peak Path Creators faced.

He imagined that if he had the Faith of another Path Creator, something special could happen, but it was naturally impossible to test that.

Not everyone was like Zhou Fan, who could sense new Path Creators as soon as they emerged. He simply had a level of control over the Universe, mostly through the Path of Cultivation, that allowed him to see everything.

After all, whether it was in the Main Universe, Mini-Universes, or even Universal Sector 6, Cultivation was practiced.

There were few places where it wasn't, such as Yoha's Mini-Universe. 

With Cultivation being everywhere, Zhou Fan could naturally sense things everywhere. It was both hard to understand and easy to understand.

While no being cultivated his power of Cultivation, Cultivation itself was his creation, and an integral part of his path.

Zhou Fan was also waiting for the emergence of a new Path Creator, as well as for Ye Li and the God of Death to reach the Peak.

He had never really cared about the result of the fight for power between the Path Creators. He just wanted to surpass his current realm.
