There was also the inner world realm cultivator that had been imprisoned. The prisoner had been draining his blood, and with Yao Mun's special methods, he had been able to use that blood to grow.
The final method involving his growth was actually the power of Heaven. When fighting against Tian Fu, Tian Fu had used every last ounce of power in his body to "Kill" Yao Mun.
As the successor of Tian Ren and the number 1 follower of Heaven, his body had contained the power of Heaven, even if just slightly.
When Tian Fu used all that power, some of Heaven's power had mixed with the Qi used to destroy Yao Mun. Yao Mun had managed to use the Qi in a split second to help preserve some of himself.
It had taken unfathomable luck, methods, perseverance, and talent for Yao Mun to revive and cultivate to such a level.
When it came to reviving, a technique that Yao Mun had created with the combination of mere chance and inspiration from Bi Chong made the greatest contribution.
He had been able to preserve his energy inside of a ball and put it into multiple cultivators around the world. The ball contained his Lifeforce, and with the mystical technique that even he did not truly understand, he had been able to preserve a copy of almost everything in the balls.
The balls had been passed down through generation and had absorbed energy from millions of cultivators, once again contributing to the growth of Yao Mun's cultivation.
All in all, to revive, it had taken the use of a technique created by chance and some inspiration, the Qi of Heaven, and incredible luck. He had finally revived through the blood of the prisoner.
All in all, in order to reach the peak of the inner world realm, he had needed the combination of his eye, the Qi from millions of generations of cultivators, an inner world realm cultivator that had had one of the balls passed down by his ancestors, and most recently, the talent increasing technique.
Even then, Yao Mun was still missing a few memories, but it was nothing compared to Ying Xiong. He was also not missing anything that important. He remembered everything he needed to.
His change in personality had been as a result of being defeated by Tian Fu and, at one point, truly dying.
For Yao Mun, even with all of his talent and luck, breaking through to the god realm with immortal king 1 rank meridians was still impossible. He needed to go up another rank at least.
For the king of the destruction race, Yao Mun had clear value, especially since he had once almost defeated Ying Xiong at the same level.
Understanding that it would be nearly impossible to hunt down more god realm cultivators within a quadrillion years, he made a sacrifice.
In 1 on 1 battles to the death, Yao Mun killed 50 destruction race god realm cultivators, each with more talent than the last, before finally achieving immortal god 7 rank meridians.
Yao Mun kneeled. "Thank you lord. This is enough."
The king of the destruction race waved his hand. "As long as you can reach the true god realm, anything is ok. I'm even considering sacrificing a true god to help you raise your meridians in the future."
Yao Mun lowered his head even more. "This one will loyally serve the destruction race for quadrillions of years, even if it causes my death."
The king of the destruction race laughed. "I wish everyone was like you. Cultivate well. Come back when you reach the peak of the god realm."
Yao Mun nodded and left.
Trillions of years passed, but to the current powerhouses of the universe, it was as if a minute had passed.
Far below the hideout of the destruction race, a tribulation came and went. Yao Mun entered the god realm, but he did not leave.
He cultivated diligently, only leaving to kill for blood and, as he did so, practice his techniques.
The blood was basically useless as it was from those below the god realm, but Yao Mun simply enjoyed killing.
It was around 4 quadrillion years later that Yao Mun once again met the king of the destruction race, now as a god realm 10 cultivator.
The king of the destruction race clapped his hands. "Even with talent, not many can reach such a level. I have an opportunity here, and it will only be if you choose to risk life and death that you will receive it. Fight to the death with the one of the weakest true gods of the destruction race, one with immortal god 3 rank meridians."
Yao Mun did not need to think for a second before nodding his head.
Lin Zhenwu clapped again. "Brave and bold. Come out."
From the curtains of darkness surrounding the room, a true god realm cultivator came out. At the sides, almost all of the true gods of the destruction race were watching, including the 3 high lords.
A sword formed from Qi appeared in Yao Mun's hand as the true god realm cultivator launched at him with killing intent. After all, they were both fighting for their life.
As Yao Mun held the sword up, three of his limbs, excluding only his right arm, weakened and seemed to deflate. He had sacrificed the souls of three of his limbs. Long ago, he could only sacrifice up to 50% of his soul if he was absolutely risking death. Now, after so many years of practice and creating techniques, he could safely sacrifice up to 60% of his soul, though any more would kill him instantly.
Yao Mun moved forward and brushed past the true god realm cultivator, who's eyes widened.
His head flew off of his body. He would not have died so quickly if he did not underestimate Yao Mun. Even cultivators of the destruction race could be careless and arrogant.
The king of the destruction race, Lin Zhenwu, clapped his hands with glee as Yao Mun absorbed the true gods blood.

With the blood of the destruction race cultivator, Yao Mun's meridians reached immortal god 4 rank.
Although only a small increase, it would allow his combat strength to grow. As Yao Mun finished the blood, the king of the destruction race had him join the ranks of the now 99 true gods of the destruction race. Before the last one's death, there had been 100 as one had died long ago and one had been added with the true god ascension platform.
The final plot intended to grow Yao Mun began to be created in the room.
—-----------------------------
As time passed, yet another meeting in the upper realm was taking place to exchange contribution points earned from participating in the creation of worlds.
Although it rarely took place, it was a common event in comparison to the true god ascension arena battle.
Enemies saw each other as they entered, but nobody dared to fight during the event as it was prohibited by the origin god himself.
The only exciting part was the appearance of the origin god. He was visible during every event unless he was in seclusion, even if it was merely a projection or even just a fake body controlled by him.
As everyone waited, the event started. For the first time in a while, Zhou Fan truly came to the contribution point exchange event.
This caused Ying Xiong and Heaven to pay more attention, while everyone else got excited.
"Alright. Let's start now. Gods go first." Zhou Fan said.
The gods came up and exchanged contribution points for items, cultivation, techniques, or any of the other many things available.
It was not long before the gods were finished. Many were saving up contribution points.
"True gods, it is your turn."
Only 3 true gods came up to exchange anything. Most of the true gods saved their contribution points for quadrillions of years before spending them.
Just as it seemed that another casual meeting would end, a dark spiral appeared above the crowd of god realm and true god realm cultivators.
Nobody needed more than an instant to understand who was coming.
As 99 true gods and a god came out, thousands of attacks were shot out. Surprisingly, they were all dispersed before they could leave a 5 foot radius of the people who attacked.
This stunned many people as they looked at the only person in the universe who could possibly do such a thing.
Zhou Fan met their gazes. "This is a contribution exchange. No attacks are to be made. This is the only warning."
Although it seemed like an offhand comment casually made, nobody dared to make a second attack.
"It's good to see you all. Ying Xiong, Lu Wei, is that heaven over there? What a pleasant surprise. Progenitor Ke, the pain himself." The king of the destruction race spoke as he and the others landed on the ground and walked towards the stage.
Ying Xiong was looking at the members of the destruction race and saw an unfamiliar face that, for some reason, seemed familiar.
Although the effects of the youth galactical assembly from back then that restricted memories had long faded away, Ying Xiong had reincarnated and his memories were vastly incomplete.
On the other hand, Heaven looked at Yao Mun with wide eyes. They did not show surprise or hatred, but a sense of looking directly at him, through him.
Yao Mun nodded to Heaven and Ying Xiong while faithfully following behind the king of the destruction race.
Although the king of the destruction race had an arrogant expression on his face as he walked and taunted everyone he saw along the way, his entire demeanor changed when he finally reached the stage and looked at Zhou Fan, the origin god.
The king of the destruction race slightly lowered his head. "I, Lin Zhenwu, greet the origin god."
In the current universe, nobody dared to be presumptuous to the origin god. He was in a category of power and ability all by himself.
Zhou Fan nodded at the king of the destruction race. "Lin Zhenwu. We should spar sometime. What do you plan on exchanging for?"
Zhou Fan's words stunned all of the members of the righteous faction present.
Exchange for?
"This is still for the creation of worlds, not the destruction of worlds, right?"
"Have I been doing this wrong?"
"When have the members of the literal DESTRUCTION race ever created anything?"
Many whispers and murmurs were made among the crowd, though nobody dared speak too loudly.
Unbeknownst to everyone besides the destruction race, the destruction race had been plotting ever since learning that Ying Xiong had reincarnated and could still cultivate in the true god realm.
No matter how much the king of the destruction race did not want to admit it, he could only admit that it was impossible for him to cultivate after reaching the true god realm. Without the era of infinite growth, his limit would have been the god realm.
There was only one way to grow stronger, the origin god. Naturally, the origin god did not give out power for free, not since the era of infinite growth at least.
The only possibility was contribution points, and while secretly hiding their creations, the destruction race had been creating and creating for years and years.
"First, I would like to transfer all of the destruction race's contribution points to me. Is it possible?" The king of the destruction race asked.
There was no precedent of such a thing in the past, and everyone was shocked by his words.
"The contribution points can be used by the owner however they want, even if that means transferring them to another." Zhou Fan responded.
"Then I request that it be so."
Zhou Fan proceeded to individually ask for confirmation from every true god of the destruction race that had come.
When he was finished, what Lin Zhenwu held was the greatest amount of the contribution points in history.
Zhou Fan asked Lin Zhenwu. "Would you like to exchange for anything?"
LIn Zhenwu smiled. "I would like to increase my realm as many times as my contribution points allow."
