Zheng Dong's brow furrowed slightly.
He continued to try, constantly familiarizing himself with the two divine artifacts.
The current situation was much better than before.
He was no longer being sealed in memory or lost in the spatial-temporal illusion.
Zheng Dong thought of the Prayer Clay Tablet.
He had comprehended the Prayer Clay Tablet and obtained the Prayer Technique.
Then, he wanted to quickly become a Dominator and came to this place.
This place might help him become a Dominator faster.
He looked at the Fate Atlas again.
He continued to comprehend the Law of Fate.
The condensation of his divine spark was centered around the Law of Fate, and his divine kingdom and soul were also primarily based on the Law of Fate.
All laws in this world also respected the Law of Fate.
As long as he kept comprehending the Law of Fate, he could continuously improve his realm and gain stronger power.
Through the Fate Atlas, he gained new insights into the Law of Fate.
As he continued to comprehend, he grasped the divine skill of Deprivation.
He could deprive others of their fate lines.
And through the fate line, he could sever their past, future, and present selves, causing them to die completely.
Of course, with his current ability, he could only deprive extraordinary beings of the same level or lower.
He could not yet deprive Dominators or Supremes of their fate lines.
As his comprehension of the Law of Fate deepened, Zheng Dong also drew closer to becoming a Dominator.
However, to become a Dominator, he always felt something was missing.
He needed to find his own way to become a Dominator, just as he had constructed his divine kingdom.
Every extraordinary being who could become a Dominator had their own path.
Imitating others would never allow one to become a Dominator.
Fortunately, Zheng Dong already had an idea.
He examined his own fate line.
Now that he mastered the Fate Atlas and the Deprivation divine skill, he could find his fate line from the River of Fate.
The fate line existed between the void and reality.
It was like the threads attached to a marionette.
One end was connected to the marionette, and the other end was held by fate.
But the marionette itself did not know.
Zheng Dong was now like an awakened marionette, surpassing most people. He could see the fate line and find a way to hold it in his own hands.
Zheng Dong looked at his fate line.
The initial end was still in the past, and he had possessed a fate line since he was born.
If he could use the fate line, could he merge his past self with his present self?
Or could he sever the connection between his future self and his present self?
Zheng Dong wanted to try.
He used the Fate Atlas to retrieve his fate line from the River of Fate.
However, the other end of the fate line remained in the River of Fate.
He could only retrieve the past end from the River of Fate.
He attempted to draw the fate line into his own body.
Although it was difficult, it was possible.
He mobilized the Law of Fate, and under the effect of the power of fate, the fate line circled his divine spark again and again.
With each circle, he could see different versions of himself in the past.
Him learning to walk, him starting school, him awakening his beast-taming talent.
If he could completely integrate the fate line into himself, he could merge with his past selves.
In that case, there would not be two Zheng Dongs in this timeline.
He would also gradually master his own destiny, perhaps stepping into the Dominator realm.
However, dealing with his future self was even more troublesome.
It required him to have a deeper comprehension of the Law of Fate and reach a higher realm.
As his comprehension of the Law of Fate deepened and his realm continuously improved, Zheng Dong's mastery of the Fate Atlas and the Spatial-Temporal Corridor also grew stronger.
He used the two divine artifacts, unleashing a terrifying power, forcefully breaking through the spatial-temporal illusion, and returning to the previous Demon Land.
He looked around and could still see many Hell Demons and Fallen Angels coming to collect resources.
When the spatial-temporal illusion erupted again, these Hell Demons and Fallen Angels would leave.
In fact, the spatial-temporal illusion had never disappeared. It was still there, just in different dimensional spaces.
Each eruption merely represented the spatial-temporal illusion returning to this异世界.
The Hell Demons and Fallen Angels here had roughly figured out the pattern.
But it was not precise.
The frequency of the spatial-temporal illusion appearing was increasing, and often Hell Demons and Fallen Angels were drawn into it.
Sensing Zheng Dong's appearance, the surrounding Hell Demons and Fallen Angels cast shocked glances.
How was this possible?
How could he emerge from the spatial-temporal illusion?
For so many years, not even Dominator-level Hell Demons and Fallen Angels had been able to escape.
A Hell Demon with the strength of a God King quickly contacted the current Hell Demon Emperor.
They had to figure out the reason for this.
If they could master the method of freely entering and exiting the spatial-temporal illusion, their Hell Demons could completely occupy the Demon Land, leaving no opportunity for the Fallen Angels to collect resources.
Of course, the Fallen Angels on the other side were not foolish and also hastily notified their current Fallen Angel Emperor.
Upon receiving the news, the Fallen Angel Emperor shot up from his throne and rushed over with many Fallen Angels.
Zheng Dong, who was about to leave and return to Yanhuang, saw large numbers of Fallen Angels and Hell Demons gathering in the Demon Land, surrounding it tightly.
The Fallen Angel Emperor and the Hell Demon Emperor exchanged glances, neither finding the other pleasing, but they did not make a move.
Their target was Zheng Dong, not to fight each other.
"Friend, you just came out of the spatial-temporal illusion, didn't you!" said the Fallen Angel Emperor.
As Zheng Dong was about to respond, the Hell Demon Emperor sneered:
"Don't make friends with everyone. Who is your friend? Pretending to ask the obvious. If he hadn't come out of the spatial-temporal illusion, would you have rushed over so eagerly?"
"Just because we are not friends now doesn't mean we can't be friends in the future. So what if I know? Can't I confirm? You truly are beneath notice. Even after becoming an Emperor, your mouth is still foul!" the Fallen Angel Emperor replied unhurriedly.
This enraged the Hell Demon Emperor, who glared at the Fallen Angel Emperor.
"You dead bird, are your feathers itching? Do you want me to loosen them up?" the Hell Demon Emperor said.
He exuded a terrifying aura, as if ready to fight at any moment.
The Fallen Angel Emperor ignored him.
"If you want to fight, I'll accompany you to the end. But today, I need to figure out how one can freely enter and exit the spatial-temporal illusion first."
The Fallen Angel Emperor looked at Zheng Dong.
The Hell Demon Emperor also turned his gaze to Zheng Dong.
Judging by their demeanor, Zheng Dong would not be able to leave unless he revealed a method.
Facing the Dominator-level Fallen Angel Emperor, Hell Demon Emperor, and numerous Fallen Angels and Hell Demons, Zheng Dong showed no panic.
With his current abilities, leaving here was not difficult.
However, he happened to want to practice and test his current strength.
"Believe it or not, I don't have a method to freely enter and exit the spatial-temporal illusion either. I was just lucky to get out," Zheng Dong said.
But the Fallen Angel Emperor and the Hell Demon Emperor clearly did not believe him.
"Friend, don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. You are merely a minor God King. I have seventeen or eighteen God Kings under my command, and killing you is as easy as flipping my hand.
If you are willing to tell us, I guarantee your safety and allow you to leave. If you wish, you can also join our Fallen Angel clan.
Don't tell me it was luck or coincidence; I don't believe it at all. To enter the spatial-temporal illusion, remain conscious without getting lost, and be able to come out, you must have mastered some special method or a divine artifact." said the Fallen Angel Emperor.
In his opinion, Zheng Dong was just a God King, far inferior to him in strength, and thus easily controlled.
The Hell Demon Emperor also spoke:
"You'd better tell me first. If I don't know the reason, I will crush you, tear apart your soul, and read your memories. Even this birdman cannot protect you!"
Zheng Dong also knew that explaining would be futile. He glanced at the Hell Demons and Fallen Angels around him.
Since you are seeking death, don't blame me for using you to practice.
Thus, Zheng Dong used the divine skill of Deprivation.
A strong power of fate surged, and the closest Hell Demons and Fallen Angels to Zheng Dong collapsed to the ground.
Their fate lines were deprived by Zheng Dong.
It was as if the threads connected to the marionettes were removed by Zheng Dong. If these threads were connected to other marionettes, they would replace these Hell Demons and Fallen Angels.
The Hell Demons and Fallen Angels whose fate lines were stripped did not die immediately.
They seemed to have their strength drained, unable to move, and lay on the ground, their eyes wide, awaiting death.
This scene shocked both the Fallen Angel Emperor and the Hell Demon Emperor.
They did not understand how Zheng Dong had killed the Fallen Angels and Hell Demons around them.
They could only sense the fluctuation of fate power but could not see the fate lines.
The Fallen Angel Emperor angrily took out his divine artifact, the Sword of Corruption.
"What did you do to them?"
"Bastard, I'll kill you!" The Hell Demon Emperor also took out the Demon Hammer.
Zheng Dong looked at the Sword of Corruption and the Demon Hammer, noting that they were both high-grade divine artifacts.
However, the Fallen Angel Emperor and the Hell Demon Emperor were not easy opponents.
He was currently in the past timeline and was suppressed, unable to kill Dominators of higher levels.
Even mobilizing the power of the Star God Realm would be difficult.
However, he remained calm.
If he couldn't kill them directly, he could find ways to use external forces, such as the spatial-temporal illusion.
Thus, Zheng Dong activated the Spatial-Temporal Corridor.
Now, Zheng Dong could fully manifest a spatial-temporal illusion using the Spatial-Temporal Corridor.
Just like the Chaos Divine Phoenix had done with the Spatial-Temporal Corridor back then.
Suddenly, a bizarre spatial-temporal illusion rapidly spread outwards.
This terrified the Fallen Angel Emperor and the Hell Demon Emperor, who had just drawn out their Sword of Corruption and Demon Hammer, ready to fight, causing them to retreat repeatedly.
They fled quickly, but the other Fallen Angels and Hell Demons were not as fast.
Many Fallen Angels and Hell Demons were trapped in the spatial-temporal illusion.
The spatial-temporal illusion formed by the Spatial-Temporal Corridor was naturally not as powerful as the naturally occurring spatial-temporal illusion.
However, it was more than enough to trap the surrounding Fallen Angels and Hell Demons.
Following that, Zheng Dong began his slaughter.
He used the God-level Deprivation to strip the fate lines of the Fallen Angels and Hell Demons trapped within the spatial-temporal illusion, one by one.
Before long, all the trapped Fallen Angels and Hell Demons lost their combat effectiveness, collapsing to the ground like puppets, awaiting the arrival of death.
Most of these Fallen Angels and Hell Demons possessed the strength of Upper God, and a few were God Kings at the same realm as Zheng Dong.
However, facing Zheng Dong, they were completely powerless.
Outside the spatial-temporal illusion, seeing the fallen Fallen Angels and Hell Demons, the Fallen Angel Emperor and the Hell Demon Emperor had grim expressions and were filled with rage.
Yet, even so, they dared not rashly enter the spatial-temporal illusion.
Living here, they had a natural fear of spatial-temporal illusions.
Although the power of the spatial-temporal illusion manifested by Zheng Dong's Spatial-Temporal Corridor was far inferior to the naturally occurring one, they were still afraid and hesitant.
Zheng Dong, however, showed no mercy. He lunged at the surrounding Fallen Angels and Hell Demons, slaughtering them all and continuously using God-level Deprivation.
The more he used it, the more proficient he became, and the deeper his comprehension of the Law of Fate grew.
Only after most of the Fallen Angels and Hell Demons had fallen did the Fallen Angel Emperor and the Hell Demon Emperor begin to counterattack.
They were forced to join forces by Zheng Dong.
The Fallen Angel Emperor swung the Sword of Corruption at Zheng Dong, its terrifying power sweeping towards him like an overwhelming tide.
The Sword of Corruption could cause people to fall and lose their minds.
In an instant, illusions proliferated before Zheng Dong's eyes, with various temptations constantly appearing.
Simultaneously, the Hell Demon Emperor swung the Demon Hammer.
As the Demon Hammer fell, countless demons appeared, seemingly intent on flaying Zheng Dong alive.
Even inner demons emerged, and Zheng Dong's cloaked figure appeared to be chasing him, intending to devour him.
Facing the attacks of the Fallen Angel Emperor and the Hell Demon Emperor, Zheng Dong did not confront them head-on but constantly dodged.
They were Dominators, and their immense power was difficult for him to contend with.
He would certainly suffer if he fought them directly.
He used the Spatial-Temporal Corridor to generate one spatial-temporal illusion after another, hiding within a spatial-temporal illusion to evade the attacks of the Fallen Angel Emperor and the Hell Demon Emperor.
However, it wasn't long before the Fallen Angel Emperor and the Hell Demon Emperor discovered the weakness of the spatial-temporal illusions before them, realizing they were not as terrifying as they feared.
Thus, they unleashed their full power and launched even fiercer attacks on Zheng Dong.
Zheng Dong continued to dodge, avoiding direct contact with them.
Zheng Dong had mastered spatial teleportation, making it even easier to evade their attacks within the spatial-temporal illusion.
He also conjured numerous clones, often confusing the Fallen Angel Emperor and the Hell Demon Emperor.
Of course, continuing like this was not a solution.
Zheng Dong was waiting for an opportunity.
He wanted to wait for the Fallen Angel Emperor and the Hell Demon Emperor to let down their guard, then trick them into the naturally occurring spatial-temporal illusion.
This was because the spatial-temporal illusion, generated by the change of eras, was a calamity for the entire world, and it was very difficult to escape.
Zheng Dong had only managed to escape after mastering the Fate Atlas and gaining a deeper understanding of the Law of Fate.
If the Fallen Angel Emperor and the Hell Demon Emperor were to fall into it, they would likely suffer the same fate as the first-generation Fallen Angel Emperor and Hell Demon Emperor, dying within.
Fortunately, Zheng Dong's luck was quite good, and the spatial-temporal illusion appeared again.
It overlapped with the spatial-temporal illusion generated by the Spatial-Temporal Corridor. The Fallen Angel Emperor and the Hell Demon Emperor did not notice, being attracted by Zheng Dong's clones.
The Fallen Angel Emperor and the Hell Demon Emperor, trapped in the spatial-temporal illusion, immediately felt that something was wrong, but it was too late to get out.
The only pity was that the Sword of Corruption and the Demon Hammer were still in their hands.
If Zheng Dong wanted to obtain them, he would have to enter the spatial-temporal illusion again.
Zheng Dong did not intend to risk his life for two high-grade divine artifacts.
Instead, he planned to plunder the resources collected by the Fallen Angels and Hell Demons.
