"Hunting geniuses?"
"Specializing in hunting down geniuses who have the potential to comprehend the Chaos Realm?"
Why is that?
"If it's about capturing these geniuses alive and enslaving them for our own use, I can understand that, but hunting them down... is it because we're worried about the Tianyu Pavilion's status being affected?"
"Or is there some other reason?"
...
Many powerful god-kings were puzzled; the actions of the Heavenly Universe Pavilion were incomprehensible to them.
Geniuses, especially those capable of comprehending the realm of chaos, are generally beings with extraordinary comprehension.
The greatest value of such geniuses lies not in any other opportunities they may have had, but in their intuition and understanding.
If we can find such a genius and enslave him, we can cultivate an extraordinary henchman, or even, as Sect Master Luo thinks, rely on such a genius to leave the desolate region.
Logically speaking, Tianyu Pavilion, having existed for so long, should have thought of this.
With their strength, it shouldn't be difficult for them to enslave such geniuses before they grow up.
But instead of choosing that path, they hunted.
That's rather strange.
"It's not enslavement, it's hunting, and specifically hunting!"
The pangolin was deep in thought when suddenly, a possibility occurred to it, and it exclaimed in surprise, "Do you think there's a possibility... that Tianyu Pavilion is worried that some creatures might leave the desolate region?"
Upon hearing this, all the god-kings were taken aback.
Ao Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he asked in shock, "Brother Chuanshan, do you mean that Tianyu Pavilion is preventing the creatures of the Desolate Region from leaving? Eliminating any possibility of such a thing?"
Upon hearing this conjecture, all the gods were startled.
"Why...why? Isn't Tianyu Pavilion also in the Desolate Region? Why would they do this?"
"That's right, there's no reason why. If there were a chance to escape the wasteland, why wouldn't Tianyu Pavilion choose to do so?"
"I think that's impossible. There are so many God-Kings in the Heavenly Pavilion. Do you think they would willingly stay in the Desolate Region?"
“Any God-King who has a chance to break through to the God-Emperor realm will try every means to escape the Desolate Region, and the God-Kings of the Heavenly Pavilion should be no exception.”
"Indeed, that's the God Emperor realm. Once you become a God Emperor, if you get any more opportunities in other domains of the God Realm, you might even have a chance to become a God Emperor or a Saint. No God King would give up such an opportunity, right?"
...
None of the powerful gods present believed that Tianyu Pavilion would make such a choice.
In the Desolate Domain, the highest level of martial arts is to comprehend the rules and cultivate to the half-step God Emperor realm, with a lifespan of only about a million years.
If there is a chance to become a God-Emperor, no God-King would give up that opportunity.
The same should apply to the God-King of Tianyu Pavilion.
They felt that the guesses of the pangolin and Ao Chen were probably not true.
The pangolin asked in return, "If it's not for that reason, then why is it?"
"..."
The King of Gods remained silent.
Indeed, this seems inexplicable unless it's to prevent living beings from leaving the wasteland.
Tianyu Pavilion's actions are really too strange.
The possibility of any living being threatening Tianyu Pavilion's position in the future is actually quite low.
You need to know.
God-kings have a lifespan limit, at most around a million years.
Even for a prodigy with extraordinary comprehension, how many rules can they comprehend in a million years?
If it were said that a prodigy could comprehend all three thousand rules in a million years, none of the god-kings present would believe it was possible.
They know all too well how difficult it is to understand the rules.
Among the God-Kings present, such as Jie En, Yan Zhi, and Ao Yu, which one of them had not spent hundreds of thousands of years to comprehend only a single rule to perfection?
A single rule can almost exhaust their entire lifespan, let alone three thousand rules.
Some might say that it's because they lack the comprehension to compare with true prodigies.
But in fact...
How could someone who can cultivate to the perfection of a God-King have low comprehension?
Even if it's low, how much lower can it be than those prodigies?
100 times? 1000 times? Or 3000 times?
As long as it doesn't exceed a thousand times, there's absolutely no possibility that a being could comprehend all three thousand rules before the lifespan of a God-King is exhausted.
As long as they don't comprehend all the rules, they probably won't pose a significant threat to Tianyu Pavilion.
after all.
Even when the Heavenly Pavilion Master intervened, he only obtained the Primordial Chaos Technique from someone like Cat King who had mastered more than ten rules; he did not attack Cat King.
Cat Emperor is already incredibly powerful.
He was only at the mid-stage of the God King realm, yet he had already comprehended more than ten rules, and it didn't take him long at all.
And when its cultivation reaches the peak of God King or half-step God Emperor, who knows how many more rules it will be able to comprehend.
The Pavilion Master of Tianyu Pavilion was naturally aware of this, but he still did not take action against the Cat Emperor.
It's obvious.
Even such an overpowered cat emperor is not taken seriously by Tianyu Pavilion.
This shows that Tianyu Pavilion is not afraid that such prodigies will threaten its position in the future.
They have sufficient strength and resources to deal with this threat.
There is no need to nip this potential threat in the bud.
in this way.
After ruling out this possibility, no matter how incredible the other possibility may seem, the God King had to admit that this might be the true purpose of the Heavenly Pavilion.
Their goal is to prevent living beings from leaving the wasteland and this cage.
"But...why?"
Even after confirmation, the doubts in the hearts of the gods did not diminish, but rather deepened.
They simply couldn't understand why Tianyu Pavilion would do this.
They were already powerful beings at the God-King level. Knowing that the desolate region was an inescapable prison for them, why did they choose destruction when there was hope of escaping?
Even a business association like Luo Xianmen, which has only been established for a few hundred thousand years, can choose to cooperate with and support Lu Tao.
With the resources of Tianyu Pavilion, it is entirely possible to support such a prodigy, allowing him to cultivate and reach the God King realm as soon as possible, and comprehend the Three Thousand Rules.
Even if it fails, at least it's an attempt.
As a result, Tianyu Pavilion not only did not attempt this, but instead focused on hunting down such monsters.
And this has been done since ancient times.
This made them feel somewhat incredulous.
For countless years, many half-step God Emperors and God Kings have longed for this opportunity but could not obtain it. Tianyu Pavilion clearly had such an opportunity, but chose to give it up.
This sounds incomprehensible to them.
That's crazy, and that's stupid.
This would not be the choice for any other race or faction.
While the God Kings pondered, Ao Chen immediately instructed, "Brother Frog, investigate again and find out what Tianyu Pavilion's purpose is in doing this."
"……good!"
The Heavenly Frog was already extremely exhausted. The continuous exploration had taken a heavy toll on it, even for someone of its cultivation level. If it hadn't taken some pills earlier to restore its energy, it would have been unable to continue exploring.
Buzz!
His eyes swept across the sky, continuing to probe the secrets of Tianyu Pavilion.
As a result, the exploration only lasted a few breaths before the Heavenly Frog stopped with a strange expression on its face.
It said with surprise, "It's strange. The feedback from the causal investigation is that the reason why Tianyu Pavilion did this is simply because the first Tianyu Pavilion Master wanted to do it. There is no other reason, and it is not to prevent living beings from leaving the wasteland."
The kings of the gods were stunned upon hearing this.
They didn't expect it to turn out this way.
The pangolin said in surprise, "Over the years, the Pavilion Master of Tianyu Pavilion must have changed at least several hundred times, right? Did all of these Pavilion Masters do this? That's too strange. There must be other reasons."
"Indeed, it's impossible that the idea was passed down just because the first generation of Tianyu Pavilion wanted to do this; there must be other reasons."
"It does sound like the consistent mission of Tianyu Pavilion, which is to hunt down such prodigies."
"But there is something strange about this move."
...
The kings of the gods were speechless.
Although the Heavenly Frogs had figured out the reason why the Heavenly Pavilion did this, this reason was indeed not convincing to them.
What powerful being, even a God-King at the peak of his power or a half-step God-Emperor, would inherit the last wish of a Pavilion Master from countless years ago and continue hunting down monsters?
Moreover, this is based on the premise that such a prodigy has the potential to lead them out of the wasteland.
That's simply unrealistic.
It appears extremely absurd.
"wrong!"
Suddenly, the Hun Tian Beast seemed to realize something and said with some doubt, "There is only one possibility that can explain all of this!"
"What's possible?"
All the god-kings looked at it, and the Hun Tian Beast said in a deep voice, "Unless, even a prodigy who has the hope of comprehending the Chaos Domain and the Chaos Rules cannot escape the Desolate Domain."
"If this is true, then doesn't that mean we have no chance of leaving the wasteland?"
"Not to mention us, Lu Tao can't leave either."
"Heh heh, how laughable. We finally obtained the Primordial Chaos Technique and saw a glimmer of hope for leaving the Desolate Region, but it still doesn't work?"
"Then what is the purpose of everything we are doing now?"
"That's absolutely impossible. If even beings who have comprehended the rules of chaos cannot leave the wasteland, doesn't that mean that no living being can escape the wasteland?"
"I don't believe it!"
...
Upon hearing this conjecture, many of the god-kings were extremely unwilling, and their expressions became somewhat frantic.
If Lu Tao and the Hunyuan Technique had not appeared, they would not have had any hope or even considered it.
But now that they have appeared, they naturally all yearn to leave the wasteland.
Who wouldn't want to become a powerful figure like a God Emperor or God King?
Who doesn't want to go further and higher on the path of martial arts?
The appearance of Hunyuan Gongfa and Lu Tao gave them this hope.
But now they are being told that even if they comprehend the rules of chaos, they cannot leave the desolate region.
Then who else can leave the wasteland?
How can they possibly accept this?
They neither want to believe it, nor are they willing to believe it, nor dare they believe it.
At this moment, the Mountain-Piercing Divine Beast shook its head and said, "If that's the case, why is Tianyu Pavilion so persistent in hunting down these kinds of monsters? Since those monsters don't threaten Tianyu Pavilion's position, and they're not trying to stop these monsters from leaving the Desolate Region, what's the point of Tianyu Pavilion doing this?"
"..."
The Hun Tian Beast remained silent, unable to explain this. It could only look at the Heavenly Frog and ask, "Brother Frog, did you detect any of this just now?"
The Heavenly Frog shook its head and said, "No, I haven't been able to find out whether a prodigy who has comprehended the rules of chaos has any hope of leaving the desolate region."
"Since nothing was found, it means there is still hope."
Ao Yu immediately felt something was off and said, "That's strange. Over the years, haven't any of the God-Kings who joined the Heavenly Universe Pavilion ever had any other thoughts?"
"That's right. Not only do they completely obey the orders of the Pavilion Master of Tianyu Pavilion, but even when such a prodigy appears and there is hope of leaving the desolate region, they have no other thoughts at all?"
"This is indeed strange. All living beings have selfish desires, but the God-King of the Heavenly Pavilion is too obedient."
"Could they have been enslaved?"
...
As the gods discussed the matter, various speculations arose, and the answers to these speculations could only be found by the Heavenly Frog.
The Heavenly Frog shook its head and said, "I was not enslaved."
It was obvious that it had already explored the area.
This answer plunged the King of Gods into a long silence once again.
The already mysterious Tianyu Pavilion now appeared even more mysterious and somewhat eerie in their eyes.
They couldn't understand Tianyu Pavilion's choice, and naturally, they didn't know Tianyu Pavilion's purpose.
"well!"
Ao Chen sighed silently. As the patriarch of the True Dragon Clan, the overlord of the Desolate Region, he thought he knew the Desolate Region well enough, but now he realized that there were still many things he had never come into contact with.
Although it is a true dragon soaring in the sky, it is no different from a frog at the bottom of a well.
It's truly ironic.
Ao Chen said in a deep voice, "No matter how mysterious Tianyu Pavilion is, at least one thing we can be sure of is that Tianyu Pavilion will not let Lu Tao go."
Upon hearing this, all the other god-kings nodded in agreement.
This is one of the few pieces of good news for them.
Given Tianyu Pavilion's strength and resources, they might actually be able to find Lu Tao.
“Yes, now that Lu Tao has comprehended the Chaos Domain, Tianyu Pavilion will definitely not let him go and will do everything in its power to kill him. We can cooperate with Tianyu Pavilion.”
"But what's strange is that the news that Lu Tao has a chance to comprehend the Chaos Domain spread throughout the entire Desolate Region more than a month ago. There's no reason why Tianyu Pavilion didn't know about it. So why didn't they take action against Lu Tao at that time?"
"That's right. At that time, Lu Tao had not yet comprehended the Chaos Domain. Logically speaking, it was the best time for Tianyu Pavilion to make a move, but they missed it. That shouldn't have happened."
"It is indeed strange. At that time, even we attacked Lu Tao one after another. Although we failed, at least we tried. But Tianyu Pavilion has not made any move."
"Given their strength and capabilities, they should have a greater chance of killing Lu Tao than we do."
"But why don't they take action?"
...
The kings of the gods were all very puzzled.
Since Tianyu Pavilion has always taken hunting down such monstrous talents as its mission, they should have hunted down Lu Tao the moment he appeared.
But the reality is, no!
To say that Tianyu Pavilion didn't react is really a stretch.
The Tianyu Pavilion, with its exaggerated influence and strength, has no reason to react slower than the Alliance of Races.
The pangolin speculated, "Is it possible that Tianyu Pavilion knows we're plotting against Lu Tao and wants to use us to kill him?"
"Or perhaps Tianyu Pavilion also tried, but failed?"
The gods, of course, had no idea about the speculation about the pangolin, and could only turn their attention to the celestial frog.
Sky Frog said bitterly, "I'll try to investigate further!"
This exploration, like the last one, is nearing its limit.
But it was also very curious about this, and disregarding its own energy expenditure, it began to investigate again.
Ten breaths later, the Heavenly Frog opened its eyes and looked at the Mountain-Piercing Divine Beast, nodding and saying, "Brother Mountain-Piercing is right. Tianyu Pavilion also wanted to use our strength to kill Lu Tao. At the same time, they have been looking for an opportunity to make a move. Unfortunately, Lu Tao has not given them the chance."
Tianwa added, "Whether it was when Lu Tao offered a reward for cultivation techniques, when Lu Tao annihilated...the various races, or when we besieged the human race, Tianyu Pavilion was looking for an opportunity to take action against Lu Tao, but none of them succeeded."
Upon hearing this result, the King of Gods was filled with awe.
"The Heavenly Pavilion has a terrifying foundation. With our strength, we didn't even notice their actions."
"If such a being were to attack us, tsk tsk, we would probably be powerless to resist."
"This is terrifying! They do all sorts of things silently without being detected by any living being. It's truly horrifying!"
Fortunately, they didn't seem to mind us.
...
At this moment, the powerful figures gained a deeper understanding of the strength of the Tianyu Pavilion.
Their fear of Tianyu Pavilion deepened.
but.
Fortunately for them, Tianyu Pavilion really had no other intentions towards them; otherwise, they would probably have died long ago.
While the gods were discussing the Heavenly Pavilion, Ao Chen was thinking about something else.
Its face was extremely ugly, and its voice was very low, "Even we couldn't detect the actions of Tianyu Pavilion, but Lu Tao was able to avoid them time and time again. Could it be... that Lu Tao has the ability to foresee the future?"
