Wang Ye and his junior disciples left in the opposite direction, making the acquisition of the Nine-Star Heavenly God Fruit seem dreamlike in its simplicity.

This immediately made Wang Ye sense something was amiss.

Thus, he quickly took out the Nine-Star Heavenly God Fruit, and after repeated scrutiny, confirmed that the thing indeed had a seal.

Even if it was stolen and consumed, it was impossible to ingest.

"There was indeed a trick, no wonder it was so easily obtained."

Wang Ye looked at the Nine-Star Heavenly God Fruit in his hand, feeling somewhat puzzled.

However, he soon found a solution for this sort of issue.

After all, the other party only applied a seal to the Nine-Star Heavenly God Fruit; if he added something else to the seal, changing the original seal's effect would be sufficient.

After such analysis, he began using various methods to attempt alterations.

But just this one action caused him irreparable harm.

Wang Ye employed the power of faith as defense and then forcibly swallowed the Nine-Star Heavenly God Fruit.

As a result, he turned the previous seal into a defensive mechanism, making it part of himself.

This was inherently an extreme measure; others dared not do it, yet Wang Ye benefited from it.

He realized after careful consideration that one must pay a certain price to obtain what they desire.

Therefore, this decision still marked the first step.

After Wang Ye followed his plan, he had already started fully absorbing the Nine-Star Heavenly God Fruit and used the power of faith as a medium to seal it internally.

By doing so, Wang Ye's physical body gained an additional seal, turning it into a defensive mechanism.

However, this was only the beginning.

Next, he planned to use the Nine-Star Heavenly God Fruit to consolidate his physical body.

The thing was a heavenly treasure his master, Six Paths, urgently needed, but unexpectedly, Wang Ye had already tasted it first, even absorbing it entirely.

With his daring action, he began the actions in his plan.

To consolidate the puppet body, Wang Ye dared to take such risks, not hesitating to be discovered, for only one reason.

The great forces of the Four Domains were bound to be pawns arranged by the seven False Gods.

Wang Ye, now the chief disciple of Six Paths, was also superficially a pawn of the eighth False God, Six Paths.

Since they were all pawns, why hide?

Everyone knew clearly; it was just a matter of dealing with the other party.

Wang Ye did not care who pointed fingers at him; pawns only had two paths.

Either be used until death, or directly resist the fate's arrangements.

The False Gods acted like invisible guiding threads, making many their puppets, moving them for their plans.

Had Wang Ye known this earlier, he would not have acted so aggressively.

But now he understands; as a pawn, escaping the grasp of the False Gods is very difficult.

Rather than pretend with the other party, it's better to be straightforward.

Now that he acquired the Nine-Star Heavenly God Fruit, Wang Ye did not think about whether Six Paths would punish him later; he first sought a very safe place to consolidate the puppet body.

Only by consolidating the puppet body could he avoid being killed and falling in battle.

He was already preparing for this while the Demon Domain great forces started a blame game against Six Paths.

Wang Ye's six junior disciples were also held accountable for him, angered to the point of being disciplined by Six Paths.

Just as this matter escalated into a blame game, unable to find Wang Ye in a short time, they didn't know the Nine-Star Heavenly God Fruit had already been consumed.

Eight Desolate Star Domain.

Wang Ye finally returned after such a long absence.

When he reentered the Eight Desolate Star Domain, the overlap of the world once again let him experience the previous sensation.

Thus, he returned to the Anti-God Sect he established, and in the sect's secret chamber, began consolidating the puppet body.

Hai Yun'er, seeing Wang Ye return, was extremely excited.

"Senior, you've been away for thirty years, and I didn't expect you couldn't let us go."

Hai Yun'er said, quickly handing many treasures to Wang Ye.

Upon hearing this, Wang Ye nodded and smiled: "The passing of time here is indeed rapid. I've only been away for less than a year in the worldly realm, but thirty years have passed here."

He sighed about the rapid passage of time in the Eight Desolate Star Domain and also inquired about the local situation.

Hai Yun'er, being very obedient, explained everything had not changed much here.

The only good news was that all cultivators who practiced body refinement had later switched to Spiritual Energy, becoming powerful figures through the Anti-God Sect.

Now, the Eight Desolate Star Domain possessed ten Second Order Empyrean Peak experts, and one Third Order Imperial Sovereign Early Stage expert.

All these people were elders of the Anti-God Sect and the strongest in the Eight Desolate Star Domain.

When informed by Hai Yun'er, they all came to kneel and worship Wang Ye.

Seeing Wang Ye's strength already at the Eighth Order Emperor Peak, they paled with fright.

Before, they had only heard of Wang Ye, the master-level figure, but never saw him.

After all, in the Anti-God Sect, everything was managed by Hai Yun'er alone, leading to some inflated feelings among many.

Now, seeing Wang Ye return, their arrogance vanished.

"You may leave! Do not let news of my return slip out."

After Wang Ye finished, he assigned some tasks to Hai Yun'er and added, "Wait a moment; I have something to discuss with you."

Others were sent away, leaving only Hai Yun'er and Wang Ye in the secret chamber.

The two stayed inside for a year before emerging, causing suspicion among the sect elders about potential personal feelings between them.

They were unaware that Wang Ye was actually helping Hai Yun'er access the eight extraordinary vessels and even injected a large amount of faith, ensuring Hai Yun'er remained strong as the second-in-command in the Anti-God Sect.

This was also out of consideration for the sect's stability.

After leaving the chamber, Hai Yun'er discovered her cultivation was merely at the mid-First-Ranked Emperor level.

Nevertheless, she felt capable of unleashing strength comparable to a Sixth-Order Emperor Peak.

This was all thanks to Wang Ye injecting a large amount of faith.

While Wang Ye meticulously prepared to consolidate the puppet body, Hai Yun'er arranged a grand martial arts contest within the Anti-God Sect.

Doing so served two purposes: firstly, to demonstrate her effective management of the sect to Wang Ye.

Secondly, it aimed to show the powerful abilities to the sect's inflated prodigies.

Meanwhile.

The Four Domains had dispatched a significant manpower and resources all along, tracking Wang Ye's whereabouts.

However, they couldn't find any trace of Wang Ye despite all efforts.

This situation forced the great powers of the Demon Domain to question Six Paths.

Six Paths, upon realizing Wang Ye had stolen the Nine-Star Heavenly God Fruit, thought Wang Ye did it out of respect for him, the master, and secretly felt pleased, thus deflecting the Demon Domain's questioning.

He then expected Wang Ye to return prior to next year's arena showdown and hand over the Nine-Star Heavenly God Fruit.
