Chapter 843 - 480: Is This How You Kill Time?

If there was anyone he found displeasing, he could simply write their name directly onto the List of Gods. Although Zou Feng wasn’t petty enough to hold a grudge over the slightest offense, this would make things much easier if he encountered another situation like Li Chengxin’s—someone trying to steal his karmic luck without harboring murderous intent.

However, even without a personal vendetta, simply being in opposing factions was enough of a reason to be added to the List. For example, the other King Yans who had yet to be dealt with. As long as he knew their names, he could remotely assist his fellow disciples and weaken those King Yans to some extent.

"Huh? You survived Reincarnation and still managed to break through your Realm?" Ma Qianqin asked from nearby, a look of astonishment on her face. Even though she had hammered Ye Luo into a pulp, she had dug out his heart beforehand and was now asking the question while munching on it like an apple.

The Realm breakthrough Ma Qianqin mentioned naturally referred to the fact that Zou Feng had reached the Nascent Soul Middle Stage. This was obviously highly illogical. After all, the Reincarnation imposed by these King Yans would severely deplete and weaken every aspect of a cultivator, even if they eventually managed to break free. It would take a considerable amount of time just to recover to their peak state.

Yet, looking at Zou Feng’s current condition, he hadn’t been weakened at all. Instead, he had treated Reincarnation as an excellent place for cultivation. He had genuinely achieved a breakthrough in his Realm and was no longer a Nascent Soul Newbie.

Ma Qianqin naturally didn’t know that the "suffering" of Reincarnation was endured by the Big Brothers on the List of Gods, leaving Zou Feng to solely reap the benefits. After all, even though the List of Gods couldn’t be opened temporarily earlier, its damage-transferring ability had remained active. Zou Feng had verified this long ago.

Seeing Zou Feng staring at her as she gnawed on Ye Luo’s heart, Ma Qianqin instinctively became protective of her food. "I can’t share the heart with you, but feel free to take this pile of meat!"

Although a high-Realm cultivator could be considered a treasure trove from head to toe, Zou Feng still couldn’t stomach the idea of eating raw human flesh. "No need. Please, enjoy it yourself, Senior Sister Ma..."

"Oh, right, I forgot to tell you earlier. This guy doesn’t have a Nascent Soul!" Ma Qianqin finished the heart in a few bites and licked her lips.

He didn’t have a Nascent Soul!?

Zou Feng froze and immediately opened the List of Gods in silence. Sure enough, Ye Luo’s name had not disappeared from it.

This was completely absurd. Without a Nascent Soul in his body, how had Ye Luo managed to manipulate a supreme treasure like the Book of Life and Death to unleash the Power of Reincarnation?

However, although his name had not disappeared, its glow was exceedingly dim. Clearly, with the original body destroyed, his Nascent Soul wouldn’t be able to hold out for much longer unless Ye Luo quickly found a solution.

Of course, Zou Feng could also help Ye Luo think of a solution... namely, finishing him off completely with the side effects before he could seize another body.

Acting on his thoughts, Zou Feng immediately began to silently cultivate the Nine Lives Reincarnation Poison and elevated Ye Luo to the position of the top Big Brother on the List.

It was worth noting that the upgraded List of Gods could now accommodate three Nascent Soul Realm Big Brothers simultaneously. As for those in higher Realms, such as Big Sisters like the Queen Mother of the Western Heaven, he could still only place one on the List at a time. Fortunately, the only prestigious Big Sister Zou Feng currently had was the Queen Mother of the Western Heaven anyway.

Cultivating while dividing his attention to do other things was no longer a difficult task for the current Zou Feng. It was just that his cultivation efficiency would definitely not be as high as when he was fully immersed in it. However, since he was still in the Underworld, he couldn’t completely immerse himself in cultivation regardless.

Not to mention, he realized he had previously overlooked a crucial question: How were they supposed to leave the Underworld?

After asking Ma Qianqin, the answer he received was... just wait!

"Didn’t the Undying Master tell you earlier? We finished off Ye Luo, but we still have to wait for the other teams to complete their missions.

"Once all ten Palaces are destroyed, the power of the Celestial Dao Cauldron will break through its limits and fully permeate the Underworld. When that time comes, it will naturally be able to teleport us out at will."

Hearing this, Zou Feng frowned slightly. "How long will that take?"

Different King Yans possessed different methods. Those who forcefully threw people into Reincarnation, like Ye Luo, were highly likely to turn the fight into a prolonged war of attrition. Only Zou Feng, with the help of the List of Gods, could manipulate Reincarnation and clear the stage so quickly. But the same couldn’t be said for the other teams. If even one or two teams ran into trouble, it could drag things out significantly...

Ma Qianqin shrugged. "Who can say for sure exactly how long it’ll take?

"Anyway, I’ve already prepared myself to wait here for seven or eight years..."

To a Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator, seven or eight years—or even several decades—was naturally nothing. But the thought of staying in this pitch-black, sunless place for so long was a real headache for Zou Feng. After all, he didn’t need to enter secluded cultivation right now, and this was far from a good place to do so anyway. Moreover, his Dao Companions weren’t by his side, so he couldn’t even enjoy a bit of comfort.

It seemed it was time to quickly ask for the names of the other nine King Yans so he could remotely assist the other teams.

Just as Zou Feng was about to ask, Ma Qianqin suddenly smiled with a bizarre expression. "By the way, since we’re just idling around anyway, how about we have a child to pass the time?"

For a moment, Zou Feng thought he had misheard her. Then, he assumed Ma Qianqin must be telling a deadpan joke. But upon seeing her expression, he immediately realized she was actually serious...

"Ahem... Senior Sister Ma, please stop joking around!" Zou Feng laughed awkwardly, intending to gloss over the remark. It wasn’t that he minded having another Dao Companion, but he simply couldn’t handle a muscle-bound behemoth like Ma Qianqin. Besides, the whole idea was absolutely unhinged. Who in their right mind would propose having a child with a fellow disciple they had just met simply to pass the time?
