Chu Yang continued, "I've deduced many possibilities. In fact, the war between us humans and the Shi Tian clan is largely decided. We'll most likely achieve ultimate victory. At the final moment, when the 'Human Emperor Dao' within me fully matures, I will attempt to negotiate with the Creator who covets the Human Emperor position."
"If the negotiation succeeds, it will not only eliminate the threat of the Shi Tian clan but also give you time to develop. The universe's evolution requires time, and by leveraging the differential time flow between other planes and Blue Star, we can buy time for cosmic evolution."
"And if the negotiation fails?" Li Qingyun countered.
Chu Yang was silent for a moment before replying, "Then our hopes are rather slim. In such a scenario, it will all come down to your ability to endure. Humanity might truly fall into the hands of that outsider..."
Li Qingyun took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Then I will not fail!"
Chu Yang snapped his fingers and said with satisfaction, "Then let's proceed with the next plan!"
"What is it?"
"How to make you a true Creator, a top-tier powerhouse who is not the Human Emperor!"
"This..."
Chu Yang produced the Human Emperor Cauldron and pressed it down towards the massive Dao Enlightenment Tree.
The Dao Enlightenment Tree seemed to resist slightly. Chu Yang said to Li Qingyun, "Relax your mind, I'm about to bestow a monumental fortune upon you."
Li Qingyun nodded. With a flicker of his consciousness, the Dao Enlightenment Tree ceased its resistance, allowing the Human Emperor Cauldron to merge into his being.
Soon, the entire world began to change dramatically. The previously slow evolutionary path turned frenetic and rapid, as if the world had been fast-forwarded.
Chu Yang's aura also weakened considerably. He placed his hands on his hips and said with satisfaction, "I've transferred the authority of the Human Emperor Cauldron to your Dao Enlightenment Tree. This is the highest form of power in the entire multi-plane universe. Your world is too small to withstand such advanced power, so it will be compelled to grow..."
"But won't this greatly affect your strength..."
"You can rest assured about that. I am still considered the Human Emperor, and I can use the power of the Human Emperor Cauldron at any time. My relationship with it is like... that of biological father and son who have legally severed ties. Of course, that's not important. What matters is that after I grant you this authority..."
Chu Yang revealed a cunning smile, "Once I am successfully possessed, she will be surprised to discover that she hasn't become the true Human Emperor because a large portion of the authority rests with you. Haha! See, haven't we outsmarted an enemy we could never defeat?"
Chu Yang grew more excited as he spoke, "Moreover, she cannot recklessly act against humanity. After possessing me, humanity's strength will be tied to hers. More importantly, Blue Star has become the convergence point of destiny for all planes. If she attacks the people of Blue Star, it will have a more severe impact on her. If she doesn't take the remaining authority of the 'Human Emperor Dao' from you, her possessing me would instead be a shackle!"
He was excited, but Li Qingyun felt an immense pressure.
This was equivalent to placing all his hopes on himself.
Furthermore, these subsequent plans were based on the assumption that Chu Yang would be possessed by Yin Xu, which meant he would die.
"Brother Xian, can you not die?"
"Of course! But all of this depends on you. I don't know how great the power of a Creator is, perhaps reviving me will be a simple matter?"
That was only a "perhaps"...
Seeing Li Qingyun's troubled expression, Chu Yang patted his shoulder.
"Don't be so down. After this job, we'll be completely safe! Not only will we have a strong contender to resist foreign enemies, but we'll also eliminate the negative impact of the Human Emperor!"
"Should I tell others about this?"
"Are you crazy? If others knew I was going to die, wouldn't they be beside themselves? You should be the only one who knows about this. Involving too many people will easily cause problems. Also, once you become an Immortal Emperor, try to display a combat power similar to others. If your combat power is too outstanding, it will be noticed by that superior being."
"I understand!"
...
This was the plan Chu Yang had discussed with Li Qingyun back then.
The method to merge his small universe with the multi-plane universe was to break through the Creation Green Lotus with external force when the universe expanded to a certain extent.
Clearly, Yin Xu was acting as a tool in this instance.
She looked at everything before her with a sense of daze. Although she could see a small universe contained within the Creation Green Lotus, she hadn't expected this universe to be so compatible with the outside world.
It was as if it were a child nurtured by this multi-plane universe.
Faintly, she saw a colossal illusory ancient tree taking root.
Li Qingyun felt the joy of the Heavenly Dao, as if it were excited by the injection of fresh blood.
Moreover, this newly created plane originated from humanity, making it the true child of the Heavenly Dao.
The Human Emperor Cauldron had also shattered, and the human destiny it contained had all merged into this universe.
The sun, moon, and stars changed again and again, but Yin Xu couldn't interfere with this process. Even a powerhouse of her caliber had not yet reached the stage of stopping the Big Bang.
It could be said that this was a universe created with the collective strength of all humanity.
This universe also bore Li Qingyun's imprint, and at this moment, he, along with the universe within his body, had been promoted.
Yin Xu could no longer remain calm.
Things had exceeded her expectations. Chu Yang had indeed managed to create a Creator.
The current situation was that she, who was invincible after the death of Shi Tian, was now forced to face another person of the same realm!
As the creator of this world, Li Qingyun, following Chu Yang's plan, had become a Creator.
He cupped his right hand, and a mysterious and noble power began to brew in his palm.
Li Qingyun smiled, "The plan has succeeded. Yin Xu, this is my first time meeting you, but everything you've done has been predicted by Brother Xian. From the first time you spoke with Brother Xian until now, everything has unfolded according to Brother Xian's plan! When the plan began, you were the aloof Creator, and I was merely a tiny Immortal King..."
Li Qingyun's words struck Yin Xu like a bolt of lightning.
A mantis trying to stop a chariot...
When she realized Chu Yang was plotting against her, this was the thought that crossed her mind.
As long as her strength was sufficient, she could crush all schemes and stratagems.
But now, she genuinely felt the courage... and the wisdom of humanity.
