"Miao Yi!"
Lu Tao's expression was somewhat strange. It wasn't until he completely killed the strange youth and devoured his soul that Lu Tao learned the strange youth's name.
I learned this from Shan Yu.
This is quite ironic for a God-Emperor level expert.
Lu Tao took the jade slip and used his spiritual power to scan the memories recorded within it.
"Miao Yi is... a member of the Celestial Race!"
Lu Tao frowned the moment he saw it.
Miao Yi remained in human form throughout the battle. Lu Tao initially thought that Miao Yi didn't transform into his true form because he felt it was unnecessary, but it turned out that he was originally a human.
But they are not ordinary human races, but Celestial races.
The Celestial Race is a divine race in the God Realm, fundamentally different from ordinary human races.
From birth, they were at least at the Innate Realm, and each of them had high aptitude. Even when they were still fetuses, they completed the tempering of pseudo-marrow refining or true marrow refining in the mother's womb.
This alone shows that they are far ahead of ordinary humans.
but.
This is why the Celestial Race has relatively few members.
Lu Tao didn't think much of it and continued watching.
"As expected, the lifespan of a God-Emperor is limitless!"
Lu Tao then saw the relevant information about the God Emperor level experts.
God Emperor!
One can cultivate an inner world, and as long as the world is not destroyed, one's lifespan will be infinite.
The inner world can absorb the vital energy of heaven and earth, easily achieving continuous life, nourishing the physical body and soul, and keeping the soul from decaying.
For cultivators, the higher their realm, the more important their spirit and soul become.
Even if the physical body is destroyed, as long as the soul remains, it is not considered death.
However, if the soul and spirit are completely destroyed, leaving only the physical body, then that physical body will not allow the soul to be resurrected.
This is evident.
How important is the inner world for nourishing the soul and extending lifespan?
"God-Emperor level experts are immortal. If the number of God-Emperor level experts increases, will the resources in this world be enough?"
Lu Tao frowned.
A God-Emperor possesses an infinite lifespan. As long as a God-Emperor continues to cultivate, regardless of the time or resources consumed, they will eventually reach the God Emperor realm.
With an infinite lifespan, even if their aptitude, comprehension, or talent is poor, as long as they have enough resources, they can continue to improve.
Unlike those beings with limited lifespans who get stuck at a certain cultivation bottleneck and die of old age, they won't.
not to mention.
How could someone who can cultivate to the God Emperor realm be lacking in aptitude, comprehension, and talent?
This means that as long as these god-emperors do not die, they will eventually become god-kings.
Even more than that!
You must know that the God Emperor already exists in the world, let alone the God Emperor and the Holy Realm?
After that, the strong individuals all had endless lifespans.
This shows how many God-Emperors, God-Kings, and Saint-level powerhouses have appeared in the God Realm over the countless years.
With so many powerful individuals, especially those from the three highest realms of martial arts cultivation, the resources consumed would be terrifying if their numbers increased.
Lu Tao didn't know the specifics of the resources in the God Realm, since he didn't know much about it, but he felt that the resources in the God Realm should be limited.
It's impossible... for the world to be like his, where resources can be upgraded indefinitely, right?
The reason Lu Tao was able to cultivate so many disciples of the Immortal Sect, and that each disciple's aptitude, comprehension, and talent were on par with his, was because he didn't have to worry about resources.
Even the lowest-grade spiritual herbs and spiritual veins can be upgraded to extremely high levels, or even the highest level, in Lu Tao's hands.
With such capabilities, there is naturally no shortage of resources, nor is there any need to worry about them.
But the realm of gods... that's not necessarily true.
If not, then there will be a big problem.
Thinking back to when Da Gan first obtained the Divine Platform Secret Realm, the surrounding countries were wary of Da Gan. For example, Shan Yu of the Ancient Barbarian Kingdom was worried that if there were more powerful people in Da Gan, they would seize the resources of the Ancient Barbarian Kingdom, which is why he plotted against Da Gan.
Even lower-level beings know this principle, so there's no reason why these powerful beings in the divine realm shouldn't understand it.
Lu Tao continued reading.
Then we see that Miao Yi has been in charge of the desolate region for 95 million years.
“It changes every hundred million years. I thought this guy had always been in charge of the desolate region.” Lu Tao suddenly realized.
After learning about the lifespan of a powerful god-emperor through prayer, he assumed that all the true dragon bloodlines in the desolate region had fallen into Miao Yi's hands over the past hundreds of millions of years, but this was not the case.
The powerful figures behind Tianyu Pavilion change every hundred million years.
During their stay in the region, everything they obtained in the wilderness belonged to them.
Whether it was the bloodline of a true dragon, or objects governed by rules, or strange and unusual items, they all plundered them.
and.
Before leaving, they will plunder the wasteland.
The reason why Lu Tao saw in the memories of other top experts in the desolate region that nearly 100 million years ago, many top demons were killed was because of this.
At that time...
When it was Miao Yi's turn to change shifts, his predecessor looted the entire wasteland and took away all the good things there.
"What a pity about all those good things in Miao Yi's world!"
Thinking of this, Lu Tao felt quite regretful.
Because Miao Yi self-destructed the world, all the good things he had amassed over the past hundred million years were destroyed, leaving him with nothing.
That was a world self-destruction by a God-Emperor level expert; even if the person was severely injured, its power was still extraordinary.
Whether it's true dragon bloodline, objects governed by rules, or other strange things, none of them can survive the explosion.
certainly.
Since the powerful figures behind Tianyu Pavilion have plundered the desolate region time and time again, the truly valuable items must have already been taken away.
Miao Yi is nowhere near getting a chance.
"Hunting down monsters, especially those who have ascended to immortality..."
Lu Tao then saw Miao Yi's mission at Tianyu Pavilion, which was mainly to hunt down monsters and prevent those who had a chance to comprehend the Chaos Domain from leaving the Desolate Region.
This is especially true for those who are among the ascendants, who receive special care.
No!
It's not just about giving them extra care; it's about preventing such beings from continuing their cultivation and nipping them in the bud.
However, they seem to show special leniency towards these prodigies born in the desolate region. If the time is right, they can take such prodigies out of the desolate region for further training.
but.
To avoid any mishaps, these powerful Divine Emperors stationed in the desolate region would mercilessly kill any such monstrous talent that appeared on the desolate lands.
There were no instances of the animals being taken out of the wilderness for cultivation.
"The forces behind Miao Yi seem to be specifically targeting ascendants... Right, the Marrow Refining..."
Upon seeing the target group for ascendants, Lu Tao suddenly thought of something.
I still remember.
When he learned about the conditions and requirements for True Marrow Refining from Ao Bo, he felt indignant on behalf of the beings in the lower realms.
This is simply because True Marrow Refining is too unfriendly to beings in the lower realms.
and.
Originally, one could ascend to the Martial God realm through cultivation, but later became a Celestial God.
This caused many beings to miss the opportunity to enter the True Marrow Refining stage.
To be precise, it completely severed their path to true marrow refinement.
In a sense, this fundamentally interrupts the martial arts path of those geniuses and prodigies in the lower realms.
Lu Tao had felt there must be something wrong with this from the beginning, and now Miao Yi's memories seem to confirm that.
He quickly scanned the other information in the jade slip.
"The struggle for resources... the battles between ascended beings and native beings of the divine realm... factions... countless years of war..."
Lu Tao looked at each one, and the more he looked, the more alarmed he became.
turn out to be.
Over the countless years of development in the God Realm, the number of high-level powerhouses has increased dramatically, and resources have long been insufficient, placing an unbearable burden on the God Realm.
Faced with this situation, the native beings of the divine realm naturally did not feel that they had any problems; they believed that it was all the fault of the ascendants.
If there were no ascended beings competing with them for resources, the divine realm would not be lacking in resources.
in this way.
They then vented their anger on the Ascended.
And so, a great battle broke out almost without warning, with the ascendants being ambushed by the native powerhouses of the divine realm.
This battle affected the entire realm of gods.
Almost all the God Emperors, God Kings, and Saint Realm experts from various factions inevitably became involved.
That battle was so fierce that the sky darkened and the earth cracked.
The realm of gods was originally vast and boundless, a single, unified continent.
But in this great battle, the entire realm of gods was shattered.
After the realm of gods was shattered, it turned into countless fragments scattered throughout the void.
Thirty-three of the larger fragments were fixed in the void by powerful beings, in their original positions in the God Realm, not too far apart from each other, and were called the Thirty-Three Heavens by all living beings.
Although there are thirty-three heavens, there is no distinction between high and low.
These thirty-three heavens are controlled by three forces, each of which controls eleven heavens.
One side consists of ascended beings and is called the Heavenly Court, which includes numerous sects, cults, and families.
The other side is composed of native beings from the divine realm, called the Divine Dynasty, which also has many subordinate forces.
The third parties, however, are a mixed bag.
This force was originally composed of beings who no longer wished to participate in the struggle between the Heavenly Court and the Divine Dynasty, and it was called the Dao Palace.
There are both ascended beings and native beings of the divine realm.
They belong to a neutral force.
but!
That was the situation countless years ago.
The situation is now much more complicated.
In the Dao Palace today, there are still many beings who escaped from the Heavenly Court and the Divine Dynasty. Without exception, these beings have all offended other powerful figures and had nowhere else to escape, so they joined the Dao Palace.
As for the Heavenly Court and the Divine Dynasty, their internal affairs were equally complex.
It should be understood that whether they are ascendants or native beings of the divine realm, they are actually no different from each other in terms of aura, bloodline, soul, and so on.
Therefore.
Even after the war ended, the members of the three factions were still very complex.
It's far too easy to plant spies within each other.
Therefore, in the years that followed, they frequently engaged in various major battles, which have continued from countless years ago to the present day without ceasing.
Now, the constant wars between them are less about the Ascended and more about resources.
There is no longer any distinction between right and wrong, or between factions; everyone wants to annex the other and seize everything from the other.
Overall, the situation in the realm of gods is extremely chaotic.
"What a chaotic three-way power struggle..."
Lu Tao couldn't help but sigh deeply, and pondered, "So that's why Tianyu Pavilion targets ascendants. As for the Desolate Region... sigh!"
Thinking of the desolate region, Lu Tao couldn't help but sigh silently.
In Miao Yi's memory, the Desolate Region was once one of the gathering places for ascendants. Later, after the God Realm was shattered, it drifted away.
Finally, it was found by the powerful figures of the Divine Dynasty, who immobilized it and brought it into the territory of the Divine Dynasty.
now.
The Desolate Domain, along with dozens of other domains, has been merged into the Divine Dynasty's Jade Dragon Heaven!
but--
Although the Desolate Domain was merged into Jade Dragon Heaven, its treatment was completely different from that of other domains.
Because the Wasteland was once one of the gathering places for Ascended beings, the Divine Dynasty treated the Wasteland with the same hostility as it treated the Ascended beings.
Whether it's the lower realm corresponding to the desolate region or the native creatures of the desolate region, the Divine Dynasty treats them all equally.
We will never allow any God-Emperor level experts to appear in the desolate region, and we will nip any creatures with exceptional comprehension in the bud.
and.
To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, the powerful figures of the Divine Dynasty also erected a boundary wall, completely isolating the Desolate Domain from the other domains in the center of Jade Dragon Heaven, treating the Desolate Domain merely as a cage.
A cage that serves a significant purpose.
Within this cage, the powerful Divine Emperors dispatched by the Divine Dynasty to oversee the area are all prodigies who have just advanced to the early stages of the Divine Emperor realm. In the desolate region, they can plunder all the resources nurtured by the desolate region for cultivation.
It is safe and undisturbed by other creatures, making it the best place for seclusion.
For powerful individuals with endless lifespans, this is simply perfect.
And there are many, many more prisons like the Desolate Region within the Divine Dynasty's territory...
"Unfortunately, there are no memories related to the Spirit Dao Palace, marrow refining, or ascension."
Upon seeing the end, Lu Tao shook his head with some regret.
Miao Yi's memories gave Lu Tao a clearer understanding of the divine realm.
Unfortunately, there are still many questions he hasn't answered.
For example, what kind of power is the Spirit Dao Palace, and why did they lock the ascension passage?
Another example is ascension.
Previously, one could ascend to heaven by transcending tribulations and becoming a Martial God, but now it's a Celestial God... The difficulty has increased by more than tenfold.
Another aspect is marrow refining.
I've heard that pseudo-marrow refining only appeared later; the concept of pseudo-marrow refining didn't exist initially.
There must be some story behind the practice of refining marrow and the pseudo-refining marrow.
Unfortunately, there was no relevant information in Miao Yi's remnant soul's memories.
"However, although it is only a remnant of a soul's memories, there is still a lot of useful information."
Lu Tao tried to console himself.
From Miao Yi's memories, he at least knew some of the history and current situation of the God Realm, so he wouldn't blindly plunge into the vortex of the God Realm and die without knowing why.
Of course, with the statue of the deity in sight, he wouldn't easily take any risks.
With a better understanding of the situation, Lu Tao was able to see it more clearly.
For example, right now.
He then knew roughly who the powerful figure who was about to descend upon the desolate region was.
——
Tianyu Sect!
The Fire Domain, located in Yulongtian, belongs to the sect of Tianyu Pavilion.
Its sect is magnificent, floating above the colorful clouds.
From its sect plaza, a jade staircase extends downwards to the ground, with exactly nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine steps.
If any living being wishes to join the Tianyu Sect, they must first make the journey up the Heavenly Ladder.
Within the sect's plaza, there were rows of magnificent buildings, shrouded in mist, resembling a celestial palace from afar.
Behind the sect is a tall building, which is one of the forbidden areas of the Tianyu Sect and is shrouded by a powerful array.
Inside the main hall of the pavilion, there were hundreds of gray beads, each the size of an adult's head.
This is the life-giving pearl!
Each of these life beads records a wisp of the divine soul aura of a different being, some in human form and others in demonic form. Without exception, they are all the divine soul auras of powerful beings above the Divine Emperor level in the Heavenly Universe Sect.
The function of the Life Bead is the same as that of the Life Talisman: to perceive the state of the master of the soul within the Life Bead—life or death!
If the spirit and soul are present, then the master of the spirit and soul will naturally be unharmed.
If the aura of the divine soul dissipates, there is no doubt that the master of the divine soul will surely perish.
Even if separated by a realm or the thirty-three heavens, it can sense any unexpected situation that may befall the soul master, regardless of distance.
At this time.
Within one of the life beads, the aura of its spirit had already dissipated.
That was Miao Yi's life pearl.
With a whoosh.
Seemingly sensing the dissipation of the divine soul's aura, a figure hurriedly appeared in the main hall. This was an elderly man with a radiant appearance, but when he saw Miao Yi's Life Pearl, he couldn't help but be horrified.
"Something's wrong! Something's happened in the wasteland!"
