Mythical Abode Mountain, Cloud’s End Cliff, the most dangerous of Azure Cloud Continent’s four deadly areas. Cloud’s End Cliff’s base is known as the Grim Reaper’s Cemetery.
Over countless ye...
With a dead person and a "role model", those who come after will naturally know how to choose.
And when a person on the same plane kneels down in the darkness and loses all dignity, it becomes much easier for the people behind him to accept it.
In every corner of the Eastern Divine Region, one could see in the projection that the upper realm kings who commanded all spirits and were like gods in the sky were like a group of criminals waiting to be executed, kneeling before Yun Che one after another… kneeling before the darkness that they once looked down upon, were hostile to, and hated. They kowtowed, broke their teeth, and were planted with the mark of darkness, and then they had to express gratitude.
The Eastern Region profound practitioner went from being shocked, to being dazed, to being numb. He didn't know whether to be filled with irony or sadness.
The strong prey on the weak and the winner is respected. This is a common sense known to everyone, but it has never been displayed so nakedly and cruelly.
Yun Che watched them kneel and break their teeth in front of him one by one, his expression was indifferent and emotionless. From beginning to end, no one saw even a trace of pity or compassion in his eyes... It seemed that he didn't feel happy either.
The same group of people, but with completely different attitudes and faces.
Gratitude? Morality? Conscience? Shame? Dignity?
In this world where the rules of survival are cruel, everything is bullshit.
Only with sufficient strength can you truly define gratitude, morality, conscience, shame, dignity... and define all the rules you want!
The distant Holy Eaves Realm.
The Shengyu Sect was filled with death.
That incident had made it known to almost everyone in the sect that Luo Changsheng was a "bastard". Fortunately, the entire sect immediately blocked the news, so it did not spread. Otherwise, this number one star realm in the Eastern Divine Region would have become the biggest joke in the Eastern Divine Region.
The Great Elder of Shengyu walked in with a heavy look on his face, and said, “Sect Master, I’m afraid we can’t wait any longer for Yun Che. Even if we lose all our dignity, we must at least… preserve the foundation left by countless ancestors.”
The four great kingdoms fell one after another. What could the Holy Eaves Realm rely on to be proud of its superiority?
What's more, such a big incident just happened.
Saint Eaves Realm King Luo Shangchen slowly raised his head. In just a few days, he seemed to have aged thousands of years. “That bastard… have you found him?”
The Great Elder Shengyu shook his head, said nothing, and was unable to say anything.
After that day, Luo Changsheng rushed out of the Holy Eaves Realm and was never heard from again. Luo Guxie injured a group of Holy Eaves disciples and left in a hurry, but he also disappeared.
The Holy Eaves Realm was equivalent to losing two late-stage Divine Lords at once, and one less successor to the original radiant light. But for Luo Shangchen, the blow he suffered was more than just that.
Retribution? He couldn't accept it, and he didn't think he was wrong. After all, he was just a pariah from a lower star realm!
He stood up slowly, but before he could stand straight, he staggered slightly.
"Let's go." He looked up at the sky and sighed.
Yes, there is no second choice... just like back then at the Chaos Border.
"Master," the Great Elder of Shengyu hesitated for a long time, but still said, "Let me ask you, if you find Changsheng, how will you treat him?"
Luo Shangchen had no expression on his face: “It’s useless. It will always be in the dungeon.”
The Great Elder of Shengyu was shocked: "But..."
“Could it be possible that we are letting a bastard like him inherit the great cause of Shengyu?” Luo Shangchen became excited, his aura suddenly becoming terribly chaotic. “If we keep him, he will definitely seize the throne in the future. In this generation, no one can match him in terms of cultivation, and in terms of reputation…”
He pointed his trembling finger at the Great Elder of Shengyu: "Even you can't bear to see him! Who can compete with him then!"
“Master, please calm down. I have absolutely no such intention.” The Great Elder of Shengyu said hurriedly. He looked at Luo Shangchen and sighed heavily in his heart.
Can't bear it? Who is the one who really can't bear it...
The blood relationship is fake, but the father-son relationship over the years is real.
Moreover, all his joy, pride, excitement, anger, and anticipation over the years...
Almost all of it was because of Luo Changsheng.

Southern Divine Region, Nanming Divine Realm.
This was the most difficult period for Nan Wansheng.
He had gone to the Eastern Divine Region and actually lost two Ming Kings. This was an unimaginable nightmare for him and the Southern Divine Realm. Until now, he had not fully woken up from the nightmare.
When the Northern Prison King Nan Feihong arrived, before he could speak, Nan Wansheng asked in a deep voice, "What do the Dragon God Realm say?"
Nan Feihong said: "The Dragon God Realm has always claimed that the Dragon Emperor is in seclusion and will not show up in the near future. However, after Eternal Heaven, Moon God and Brahma Emperor also fell one after another. It is impossible for the Dragon God Realm not to take it seriously. Even if the Dragon Emperor is really not here, they will definitely take action soon."
"Also, I just received a piece of news. Zhou Xuzi has escaped from the Eastern Divine Region and entered the Dragon God Realm, accompanied by six guardians."
Nan Wansheng pondered for a moment and said, "The news of the fall of the South Prison and the West Prison must not be spread!"
"I understand." Nan Feihong nodded heavily.
Nan Wansheng slowly closed his eyes, and then suddenly whispered, “It’s really strange. Judging from the attitude that the Dragon Emperor showed back then, although the reason is unknown, he clearly hated Yun Che very much. Now that Yun Che has led the Northern Territory to march through the Eastern Divine Territory, why is the Dragon Emperor so coincidentally ‘retreating’?”
Thinking that he had received the message of "Hongmeng Seal of Life and Death" at the most delicate moment, his brows became increasingly heavy.
"Could it be that the Dragon Emperor was... lured away from his mountain?" he muttered slowly.
After all, he was the Dragon Emperor among the Five Emperors of the Western Divine Territory, and the absolute ruler of the Dragon God Realm.
If they were attacked passively, the Dragon God Realm would have fought back with all their might. But if they wanted to take the initiative... In such a major event, without the Dragon Emperor, who would dare to take the initiative?
If the Dragon God Realm doesn't move, how could anyone in the Western God Territory move first?
"It must be a coincidence." Nan Feihong said: "With the dignity of the Dragon Emperor, who in this world can 'tame' him?"
Nan Wansheng fell into deep thought.
There were only a handful of temptations in this world that he could not resist. And "eternal life" was undoubtedly one of them. That was why he knew that he was being used as a pawn, but he still wanted to force his way into the Brahma Emperor God Realm to take a look.
And the Dragon Emperor... as powerful as he is, what in this world could make him "disappear" for so long?
He couldn't figure it out.
This undoubtedly makes the Northern Divine Region even more terrifying... not only in terms of strength, but also in terms of planning.
In particular, he witnessed with his own eyes how the vast Brahma Emperor God Realm—the first king realm in the Eastern Region, which was as famous as his Nanming God Realm—was transformed into hell in just one day.
Anyone who saw that scene would inevitably have an extremely deep shadow of fear engraved in their heart, even if he was the number one God Emperor in the Southern Region.
"I have to worry about one thing now." Nan Wansheng said in a deep voice: "The next step of the Northern Divine Region is likely to be the Southern Divine Region."
“This…” Nan Feihong was shocked and said, “I don’t think so. The Eastern Divine Region was trampled by the Northern Divine Region mainly because they underestimated the enemy first and were attacked by surprise later. The same thing will not happen in my Southern Divine Region.”
“Moreover, when they attacked the Eastern Divine Region, they must have suffered heavy casualties and their vitality was greatly damaged. Even if they really wanted to attack our Southern Divine Region, they should at least rest for a long time. Moreover, Yun Che has a deep hatred for the Eastern Divine Region, and has little interaction with our Southern Divine Region…”
“Ha!” Nan Wansheng interrupted him with a sneer: “Have you forgotten who forced the Heavenly Killing Star God to death back then?”
Nan Feihong's eyes narrowed.
“Yun Che is now a complete lunatic! A lunatic who only seeks revenge!” Nan Wansheng said in a sinister voice: “King’s power and the throne of the emperor? He doesn’t care at all, and how can he weigh the pros and cons of the battle in the God’s Domain! Everything he does is just crazy revenge!”
“Behind this madman, there is the Demon Queen who is planning and guiding him! She will definitely lure Yun Che and capture the Eastern Divine Region step by step, instead of simply killing them all out of revenge, thereby replenishing the lost strength many times over.”
"Plus... the time when the Dragon Emperor was away was very bad for him.
It is extremely precious to them, how could they waste it! "
With every word Nan Wansheng spoke, his heart grew heavier. “They will most likely not stop fighting after taking over the Eastern Divine Region, nor will they rest and recuperate… In fact, they may even arrive sooner than I expected!”
King Beiyu Ming frowned: "Does the Northern Divine Region really think that it can swallow up my Southern Divine Region like it swallowed up the Eastern Divine Region?"
“Humph, four years ago, did you believe that Yun Che could lead the Northern Divine Region to destroy the Eastern Divine Region with bloody waves?” Nan Wansheng asked coldly.
King Beiyu Ming was suddenly speechless.
“Yun Che is a person who cannot be understood by common sense. This is also the biggest reason why everyone tried their best to wipe him out back then. And the consequences of failing to wipe him out… you have almost seen it.”
Nan Wansheng's hands clenched tighter and tighter.
King Beiyu Ming thought for a moment, and said, “Your Majesty’s thoughts are not without reason, but I still believe that even if the Northern Divine Region is really ambitious, it will not act rashly against our Southern Divine Region in the short term. At least, the means they used to defeat the Moon God Realm and the Brahma Emperor God Realm should not be repeated, otherwise there is no reason for them not to destroy the Eternal Heaven with the same method to reduce losses.”
"In that case, why not take the initiative to test it out?" His eyes flashed with a strange light: "More than ten years have passed, and the fusion of [Qianqiu]'s divine power has gradually become perfect. It is only a matter of time before he is named the crown prince. Why not do it now?"
Nan Wansheng raised his eyes: "What do you mean?"
“Next month, we will hold a ceremony to crown the crown prince, and invite all realms, especially Yun Che and the Western Region’s king realms headed by the Dragon God Realm, to attend. By then, we will know Yun Che’s attitude towards the Southern God Region directly.”
"If it is a positive attitude, then it means that at least he has no intention of provoking my Southern Divine Region in the short term. In this way, we can wait for the Dragon Emperor to return. By then, if the Dragon Emperor takes the initiative to lead the Western Divine Region to take action, the Northern Divine Region will be defeated, and my Southern Divine Region will not have to lose a single bit."
“If they are arrogant, they may refuse to come.” King Beiyu Ming’s eyes flashed with a cold light: “Then we will have to take the initiative. And that grand ceremony is the Demon-Slaying Ceremony where all walks of life in my Southern Divine Region and the Western Region will discuss major issues together!”
Nan Wansheng paced slowly, and after a few breaths, he whispered, "Not next month, but ten days later!"
King Beiyu Ming's heart was greatly moved.
The fact that he shortened the time to such an urgent point showed how much he feared Yun Che.
“Pass the order down and immediately begin preparations for the ceremony of enthroning the crown prince. Send people to rush to the Eastern Divine Region at full speed and first invite Yun Che. Based on his attitude, then prepare for the rest.”
King Beiyu Ming took the order and was about to leave when a breath of air came at an extremely fast speed.
This is the breath of a messenger. If there is nothing important, he would not be in such a hurry.
Nan Wansheng waved his arm, and the barrier suddenly opened. The messenger arrived in an instant and knelt on the ground.
"No need to be so polite. What's the matter?" Nan Wansheng asked in a deep voice. These past two days were the time when he was most mentally sensitive.
"My Lord, I just received news that the Wanbian Sea God and Tianming Sea God of the Ten Directions Canglan Realm... have both fallen."
Nan Wansheng and King Beiyuming were both shocked.
"How did he die?" Nan Wansheng asked in a deep voice, "Was he from the Northern Divine Region?"
"No," the messenger said, "the two sea gods were assassinated. There are no traces of a fierce battle."
"What!?"
The two people, who had remained calm upon hearing the news of the death of the two sea gods, all changed expression suddenly when they heard these words.
Poseidon... was assassinated! ?
"Impossible." King Beiyu Ming said. With the power of the Sea God, it is difficult for him to die, so how could he be assassinated without leaving any trace?
"Who assassinated him?" Nan Wansheng asked.
“I don’t know.” The messenger said, “When the Wanbian Sea God died, the Shifang Canglan Realm had originally blocked the news, but less than ten hours later, the Tianming Sea God who went out to investigate also died in the same way. The Shifang Canglan Realm had no choice but to release the news and thoroughly investigate the matter.”
Nan Wansheng and King Beiyuming looked at each other, unable to conceal the shock on their faces.
