Behind these forces, there are multiple ancient gods entrenched.
Once trouble arises, their backing can smooth things over.
But him.
He has been alone for a long time.
Judging from this recent pursuit by various parties.
Even if a rogue cultivator achieves the ancient god realm, it is difficult to earn the respect of those major forces.
Otherwise, if he had a powerful force behind him, the subsequent events with the Divine Sparrow Clan would not have occurred.
Because the Divine Sparrow Clan would have been wary of the strong figures behind him.
Regarding the debt, the Divine Sparrow Clan wouldn't have made things too difficult for him.
Instead, they would have allowed him to defer payment or had someone deliver the divine stones.
So, clearly, joining a major force is much better than being alone.
Moreover, there was Xuan Ming's final statement.
"May I ask, senior, about the method to break through to the subsequent ancient god realms?" Emperor Tai asked, somewhat tempted.
"It is this."
Xuan Ming flipped his right hand.
A Dao Demon Seed, shimmering with faint Dao light, exuded an alluring aura.
"Swallowing it will put you under my control, but the path ahead will be directly opened, without any obstacles until the Immortal Realm."
"The choice is yours."
Xuan Ming waved his hand, and the Dao Demon Seed landed in front of Emperor Tai.
For the lords of those small civilizations in the Heavenly Void Realm, with mere Earth God or Heaven God cultivation, forcibly feeding them ordinary Dao Demon Seeds is acceptable.
But this kind of Dao Demon Seed, involving the domain of the Great Dao.
Within a single Dao lineage, it is difficult to produce two in a short time.
Therefore, caution is needed; forcibly feeding it would be a waste.
As soon as the words fell.
The Golden Ancient Lion King moved its steps, ran behind Emperor Tai, and circled around him.
"You must think carefully," the Golden Ancient Lion King stood upright, placing its golden claws on Emperor Tai's shoulders, and said in a low voice.
"This..." Emperor Tai's divine body trembled slightly.
Ignoring the Golden Ancient Lion King's threat to him.
He could feel the rules of the Great Dao contained within the Dao Demon Seed.
Once integrated, these rules of the Great Dao would become one with him.
That is to say.
This Immortal Ancient God of the Human Race was not deceiving him.
Emperor Tai fell into a battle between heaven and man.
In fact, with his talent, achieving his current realm was already the limit.
If there were no opportunities, relying on his own cultivation.
It would be almost impossible to step into the Third Heaven Ancient God realm.
Even less likely to reach the Immortal Realm.
And now in the starry sky, the opportunities that could benefit him are few and far between.
And they are basically controlled by those major forces.
Therefore, the temptation of the Dao Demon Seed for Emperor Tai was extremely large.
But the limitations of the Dao Demon Seed... being controlled by it!
Is it to remain independent until decay and death, or to be able to break through but be controlled by someone?
Emperor Tai hesitated.
This was almost a fork in his divine life.
"Have you not thought it through yet?"
"My Emperor has never liked waiting."
The Golden Ancient Lion King frowned slightly, its golden claws stroking Emperor Tai's body, accidentally scratching the upgraded Taihuang Halberd, emitting intense sparks. The Taihuang Halberd let out a mournful cry and ran behind Emperor Tai.
On the other side.
The battle in the Heavenly Vault Dao Furnace was also coming to an end.
Although the Holy Light Ancient God was far weaker than an Immortal Realm Ancient God.
Under the current starry sky background, the strength of the two realms was suppressed to almost the same level.
If the Artisan God were to fully recover to its peak, surrounded by Immortal rules, one palm would be enough to shatter the Holy Light Ancient God.
There would be no need for such a long time.
"Your Majesty, the Holy Light Ancient God has been refined to death by your humble servant."
The Artisan God retrieved the Heavenly Vault Dao Furnace.
Presenting a low-grade Ancient God artifact shimmering with golden light in front of Xuan Ming.
Emperor Tai, who was to the side, twitched his eyebrows, and coupled with feeling the sharpness of the Golden Ancient Lion King's claws, he gritted his teeth.
"Good."
"I will swallow it."
Emperor Tai opened his mouth and swallowed the Dao Demon Seed.

Chapter 199: The Tenth Summoning of Gods and Demons
............
At the moment when the Artisan God reported to Xuan Ming.
Emperor Tai was truly shocked.
He knew what kind of existence this silver-robed old man was.
Immortal!
This was a powerful ancient god who had cultivated the Dao to great perfection.
Such an existence was almost nonexistent in the entire starry sky.
But the attitude of the other party when reporting to the human race ancient god in front of him could not be faked.
He could hardly imagine what kind of heaven-defying methods the human race imperial Dao ancient god, who could make a great perfection ancient god call himself a humble servant, possessed.
His path was almost exhausted.
At the moment, for him, submitting to this human race ancient god.
Perhaps, it was the best choice.
And that was why he directly swallowed the Dao Demon Seed.
Announcing his submission.
Seeing this, the Golden Ancient Lion King patted Emperor Tai's shoulders with its golden claws twice.
"Having just arrived to work under Your Majesty, I hope Senior Lion can give me more guidance," Emperor Tai cupped his hands towards the Golden Ancient Lion King.
"It's alright, since we are colleagues, we should help each other."
The Golden Ancient Lion King placed its paw on Emperor Tai's shoulder and nodded.
On the other side.
Xuan Ming's gaze fell on the ancient artifact that was refined from the Holy Light Ancient God.
"Your Majesty, the body of this Holy Light Ancient God originated from a ray of light from the beginning of the Epoch."
"This kind of light is formless and intangible."
"After erasing the will of the Holy Light Ancient God, your humble servant used various materials to refine the ancient artifact, which can turn the abilities of the Holy Light Ancient God into one's own."
"The Holy Light Ancient God's cultivation is sealed within, and Your Majesty can impose restrictions on it. Those who are allowed to use it can transform into the appearance of the Holy Light Ancient God, and the power will not be too different."
"However, the user's soul endurance is limited."
"Over time, after reaching the limit, the user will revert to their original appearance, and the Holy Light Ancient Artifact will begin to recover its power, waiting for the next use."
The Artisan God explained from the side.
"Oh?" A trace of surprise flashed in Xuan Ming's eyes.
The Artisan God's words reminded him of something.
"That's a bit interesting," Xuan Ming accepted the Holy Light Divine Staff and secretly raised his eyebrows.
Although this thing was similar in nature to that thing.
But the strength was vastly different.
Such a thing was useless to him, but if it was bestowed upon some important people, it might have unexpected benefits.
"Emperor Tai, I bestow upon you the position of Director of the God-Demon Division, in charge of the duties of the God-Demon Division. After entering the Heavenly Void Realm, go to the God-Demon Division to take office."
Xuan Ming instructed.
"Your humble servant obeys," Emperor Tai respectfully cupped his hands.
Afterwards, everyone returned to the Heavenly Void Realm.
