There are four major continents in the heavenly realm, Dongsheng Divine Continent, South Alimony Continent, West Niuga Continent, and North Club Reed Continent.
The four continents, all of which are vast and sprawling, the holy gas is abundant, rich in resources.
Cultivators of the major worlds of the Western Universe, entering the Heavenly Court Realm, all of them cultivate in the Western Niuga Continent. Depending on the geographical location, there were many Heavenly Regions in the Western Niuga Continent.
The Shatuo Heavenly Domain was a very resource-poor heavenly domain on the border of the Western Niuga Continent.
After the great worlds of the Western Universe gave birth to gods and entered the Heavenly Court Realm, they almost always stayed in the Shatuo Heavenly Realm first, and only by raising their rankings in the Rankings of the Ten Thousand Realms Merit List would they be able to leave the Shatuo Heavenly Realm and move into even more fertile Heavenly Realms.
Now, the Kunlun Realm was ranked 2,744th on the Ranking of Merits and Virtues of the Ten Thousand Realms, and was ranked 549th in the Western Universe, so naturally, it didn’t need to stay in the Shatuo Heavenly Realm any longer, and it could have a better environment for cultivation.
The Guanghan Realm’s ranking on the Ten Thousand Realms Merit List, however, had changed from the fourth from the bottom to the third from the bottom.
It could be said that Zhang Ruochen had only temporarily helped the Moon God preserve the Broad Cold Realm this time, in exchange for a little bit of time for the Broad Cold Realm to live on.
When the Blade Prison Realm was destroyed, or another battlefield was destroyed, then the Merit War would open up again.
Whether or not the Guanghan Realm would still be able to win the Merit War would be an unknown.
The Moon God was obviously aware of this as well, saying, ”A hundred thousand years ago, the Guanghan Realm was also ranked in the top one hundred in the Western Universe, and was a mighty and powerful realm. Unfortunately, after that change, it was a constant decline, being bullied, exploited, eaten up, and enslaved in the Heavenly Court Realm……. This time, if it wasn’t for me and you rushing back, the Guanghan Realm would have definitely been at the bottom of the list, and would have gone to complete destruction.”
“A hundred thousand years ago, the Guanghan Realm also had a change of heart?” Zhang Ruochen said.
The Moon God said, “Speaking of which, the Guanghan Realm’s change of heart was also greatly related to the Kunlun Realm. Right now, your cultivation level is still very low, knowing those things won’t do you any good, in the future, when you grow to a certain height, I will naturally tell you.”
Zhang Ruochen pondered and said, “Could it be that the Amazing God from the Merit Divine Hall is also related to this matter?”
Upon hearing the words “Amazing God”, the Moon God’s pair of starry eyes clearly became colder and sharper.
Although she didn’t say anything, Zhang Ruochen could tell that the changes in the Kunlun Realm and the Guanghan Realm must be unrelated to it.
The Moon God reminded, saying, “Zhang Ruochen, you have to remember one thing, in the Heavenly Court Realm, even though a God can’t make a move against a Sacred Realm cultivator, if a Sacred Realm cultivator insults and blasphemes a God, the God can also kill them.”
“Understood.”
Zhang Ruochen nodded and asked again, “Just now, what did you mean when you said that the Guanghan Realm was bullied, exploited, eaten up, and enslaved in the Heavenly Court Realm? How did that happen?”
The Moon God’s eyes, became even colder as he said, “During that change 100,000 years ago, the gods of the Guanghan Realm, almost all of them fell. Only the Tree God was left alive, but the Tree God had to support the Broad Cold Realm, so its true body couldn’t come to the Heavenly Court Realm at all.”
“A great world that holds a large amount of top-notch resources in the Heavenly Court Realm, but without the guardianship of a god, can you imagine what would happen?”
“Ninety thousand years ago, the territory of the Guanghan Realm was located in the Luanghuan Heavenly Domain in the centre of the Western Niuga Continent. Oppressed by the Ophiuchi Realm, it had to pay tribute to the Ophiuchi Realm every year, sending large quantities of holy sources, holy medicines, holy artefacts, and even sharing a portion of the merit values it collected with the Ophiuchi Realm.”
“Eighty thousand years ago, the Guanghan Realm’s merit value ranking dropped drastically, and it had to leave the Luang Huan Heavenly Domain and come to the Bei Ruler Heavenly Domain. In the Bayscale Heavenly Domain, it was again humiliated and oppressed by the Rhea Realm.
…… ”
In 100
,000 years’ time, the Guanghan Realm’s heritage was almost emptied out, and its wealth was plundered to the point where there was very little left, turning it into the weakest realm in the Western Universe.” ? The Moon God’s mind fluctuated quite strongly, a monstrous rage brewing from within her.
At one time, the Guanghan Realm was also a first-rate strong realm, with a deep heritage, dominating the Western Niuga Continent, but now, it had fallen to the point where it even had to pay tribute to a strong realm every year in order to survive. As the god of this world, how could one endure?
Zhang Ruochen let out a long sigh, feeling the cruelty of the Heavenly Court Realm.
A person, without great strength, could only be bullied.
A world, without great strength, could only be exploited and enslaved.
“Now, does the Guanghan Realm still need to pay tribute to the strong realms of the Shatuo Heavenly Realm?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
The Moon God gently shook her head and said, “The several worlds in the Shadrach Heavenly Domain are weak, and although, there is a large gap between each other, the weak worlds are not completely powerless to fight back. Moreover, with the rise of the Silent Emperor and Wu Zu, the Guanghan Realm is not afraid of challenges. Therefore, in the Shatuo Heavenly Domain, there isn’t any world that can force the Broad Cold Realm to the point where it must pay tribute.”
If one wanted to reign supreme in a heavenly domain, the most important role was not a god, but a great saint.
Because, gods didn’t have territories and didn’t have the means to make a move, only Great Saints could go and fight for quality territories and fight in all directions.
With strong people like Ancestor Wu, the Silent Emperor, and the Nine Spirits Great Sage sitting in the Guanghan Realm, they were able to gain a firm foothold in the Shatuo Heavenly Realm, fearless of the oppression of other worlds. Even if other worlds sent out great saints and took away the high-quality holy domains that belonged to the Broad Cold Realm, the three giants would be able to step in and take them back.
The Moon God’s words changed, saying, ”However, there is a force that wants to completely exterminate the Broad Cold Realm. As long as the cultivators of the Guanghan Realm leave the Shatuo Heavenly Domain, they will immediately be bullied and even assassinated.”
“What kind of force is it, and how could it be so arrogant?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
The Moon God stared at Zhang Ruochen and said, “That force had once plunged the Kunlun Realm into total destruction. Including the great worlds that followed the Kunlun Realm a hundred thousand years ago, they were all implicated as well. This cleansing, which has lasted for a hundred thousand years, still hasn’t completely ended. As Chi Yao led the Kunlun Realm back to the Heavenly Court, that force was bound to surface once again. It can be said that the challenges that Chi Yao and the cultivators of the Kunlun Realm will have to deal with are much greater than ours. If we want to live, if we want to survive, if we want to take revenge, we must rise to the challenge, and amidst the heavy darkness and difficulties, we must charge through a bloody path, so that we may be able to see the light of dawn.”
“This path is incomparably difficult. Even if one fights their way to the top, they will most likely be ruthlessly suppressed in the end, and it will still be difficult to escape death.”
Zhang Ruochen felt a rather heavy heart and finally understood something, so it turned out that 100,000 years ago, the Guanghan Realm was one of the worlds that followed the Kunlun Realm.
It was because it followed the Kunlun Realm that it was implicated and subjected to 100,000 years of oppression and enslavement.
Zhang Ruochen asked, “What should we do now, it’s impossible to remain so passive, right?”
The Moon God said, “Us?”
Zhang Ruochen smiled and said, “Of course it’s us. My, the identity of the Time and Space Successor, is no longer a secret. That Amazing God will definitely not let me go, and if I want to gain a foothold in the Heavenly Court Realm, I naturally have no choice but to continue following you. With the shelter of a god, who would dare to blatantly kill me?”
The Moon God pondered for a moment and said, “With the talent you’ve shown, there should be many great worlds that want to draw you in. Those great worlds, however, are more powerful than the Guanghan Realm and will be able to give you more resources.” ? Zhang Ruochen said, “However, those great worlds are most likely the dark secrets that led to the destruction of the Kunlun Realm 100,000 years ago, so by joining them, wouldn’t you be throwing yourself into a trap?”
Even though Zhang Ruochen had joined the Guanghan Realm now, his body still bore the mark of the Kunlun Realm, and it was unlikely that that black curtain force would let him grow up.
“Good, since you’re willing to continue following me, then I’ll also do my best to help you.”
The Moon God added, “First step first, I must recover my divine power as soon as possible, so I need to borrow one thing from you.”
“What thing?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
“The Moon Leaf of the Seven Star Divine Ling.”
The Seven Star Divine Ling had a total of seven leaves, and now, only the ‘Moon Leaf’ and ‘Sun Leaf’ were still growing on it.
The Moon God said, “Previously, the divine energy in my body was too thin to absorb the medicinal properties contained in the moon leaf. Now, my divine power has recovered nearly 20%. As long as I refine and absorb the Moon Leaf, it will be enough to restore my divine power to fifty percent. Don’t worry, I won’t take your Moon Leaf for nothing, in the future, I’ll return you a complete divine medicine.”
The stronger the Moon God was, the safer Zhang Ruochen would be in the Heavenly Court Realm.
Thus, without hesitation, Zhang Ruochen plucked the Moon Leaf from the Qiankun Realm and handed it to the Moon God.
The Moon God stretched out a glistening white jade hand and held the leaf in her palm, and with a pair of bright eyes, she couldn’t help but reveal a rare smile as she said, “Being a God, but owing a Saint in every way, I’m afraid that even if it was spread out, no one would believe it.” ? “That’s because, you didn’t make a move to grab it, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to keep the treasures on me at all.” Zhang Ruochen said.
“The most valuable thing on you is you as a person, not a certain treasure on you. Losing you in order to get the treasure on you would be the greatest loss for me.”
After going through this Saint Merit Battle, Zhang Ruochen already had extraordinary value, and the Moon God didn’t even try to hide her regard for him in the slightest.
The Moon God put away the Moon Leaf and added, “I also need to borrow one million Saint Sources.” ?
This time, Zhang Ruochen frowned and did not immediately agree.
On the Merit Battlefield, Zhang Ruochen had indeed obtained more than a million Sacred Sources, but, those Sacred Sources were what he was going to use to cultivate cultivators in the Qiankun Realm, rebuild the Sacred Brightness Central Empire, and fight against Chi Yao.
Now that Zhang Ruochen was a member of the Broad Cold Realm, if the Moon God took a strong stance and forcibly snatched the Sacred Sources from him, Zhang Ruochen would be completely defenseless, and furthermore, no one would be able to help him.
However, as the Moon God herself had said, she wouldn’t do something centrifugal like that.
This was because Zhang Ruochen himself possessed a value that was far greater than any of the treasures on his body.
The Moon God said, “Don’t worry, this is just a loan, I will definitely return it to you in the future, and I won’t borrow your Saint Source for nothing.”
“Don’t you just want to use these Saint Sources to cultivate a large number of Saints for the Qian Kun Realm? But the Qiankun Realm’s foundation is too weak right now, even Half-Saints are rare, so even if you hold a large number of Saint Sources, it’s still of little use.”
“The cultivation environment of the Heavenly Court Realm is definitely better than the Qiankun Realm. As long as you are willing, you can completely allow the Qiankun Realm’s Half-Saints to temporarily join the Guanghan Realm first and enter the Heavenly Court Realm to cultivate. In the future, if you want to leave with them, I definitely won’t stop you either. How?”
Zhang Ruochen said, “Using the resources of the Guanghan Realm to cultivate the cultivators of the Qiankun Realm?”
“That’s right.” The Moon God said.
“Good, since the Moon God is so sincere, I will lend you one million Saint Sources. However, Moon God don’t forget that before participating in the Merit Battle, you once promised me to do one thing for me.” Zhang Ruochen said.
The Moon God said, “Tell me, what is it that you want me to do for you? As long as it’s not too much, I will definitely do it.”
“Take Xiling as a disciple. ” Zhang Ruochen said.
The Moon God was slightly stunned, but she did not expect that the condition Zhang Ruochen proposed was so simple.
In fact, Zhang Ruochen had also thought of asking the Moon God, to do some other things for him, but, in the end, they were all rejected one by one.
Now that he and the Moon God were already tied to a chariot, it could be said that they shared the same honour and disgrace, and what the Moon God was able to do, there was no need for him to open his mouth, so naturally, he had already made the arrangements for him. And what the Moon God could not do, even if he opened his mouth, there was no use.
Therefore, he gave this favour, this chance, to Mu Lingshi.
“Good, I promise you.”
The Moon God explained some more things to Zhang Ruochen, and then, the two of them left the Star of Merit and headed towards the Heavenly Court Realm.
