"Has it been another month?"
Lu Tao stretched lazily, cracked his neck, stood up, and prepared to return to the lower realm to collect living beings.
actually.
With the more than 2,200 kinds of rule-based divine medicines that Lu Tao has already obtained and upgraded to Great Dao Divine Medicines, he no longer attaches as much importance to the faith points required for the later stages.
In particular, if he were to obtain another eight hundred missing divine medicines of the rules, he would be able to collect three thousand kinds, and they would all be divine medicines of the Great Dao.
In this way, once he advances to the God Emperor level, he will not need to pray for enlightenment; he can directly consume the Great Dao Divine Medicine, comprehend the Three Thousand Great Daos, and then complete the stat allocation.
The advantage of this is that he will no longer need to use faith points in his cultivation.
Of course, this does not mean that Lu Tao does not care about faith points.
As his cultivation level increases, the matters he prays for will become more and more important. Similarly, the amount of faith points he consumes will also increase. Therefore, he still needs to have the necessary followers.
It's just not as important as before.
"Oh, right..."
Suddenly, Lu Tao thought of something and asked curiously, "Number 2, now that you've upgraded to an intermediate-level Great Thousand World, are the planets and races you've collected still the same as before?"
"Reporting to the Sect Master, it's different."
Number 2 explained, "After surviving two tribulations in succession, the number of planets and races I collected increased a hundredfold!"
"One hundred times..."
Lu Tao was somewhat taken aback upon hearing this; he had forgotten to ask about this point earlier.
Fortunately, it didn't have any impact.
As for now, after a hundredfold increase, it can collect 10,000 planets, which is indeed a huge number, and the number of living beings collected is also very large.
However, Lu Tao doesn't currently have a huge need for faith points, and the world's interior has an 8192-fold time acceleration, meaning the three planets inside are equivalent to 8,000 planets outside...
No!
Actually, there should be more.
Both their cultivation levels and the number of living beings increased dramatically during this period.
One of them is definitely more than ten thousand from the outside world.
Therefore, Lu Tao hesitated about whether to actually bring more living beings into the No. 2 Great Thousand World.
"This matter requires prayer and prayer."
Thinking this way, Lu Tao decided to make a wish as a safer option, but then realized that he needed to continue collecting them. Lu Tao thought to himself, "Sure enough, the consumption is still great when making wishes related to matters concerning God Emperors and Saint Realm experts."
"However, taking in too many living beings will inevitably attract the attention of the Tianyu Sect. Given the strength of the Tianyu Sect, there must be minor worlds within the sect. Therefore... it's not advisable for me to take in too many planets at once under the watchful eye of the Tianyu Sect."
Lu Tao pondered to himself.
While the Lesser Thousand Worlds may seem powerful, for a God Emperor or a Saint, creating one shouldn't be too difficult.
After all, refining a minor world does not require comprehending the Chaos Domain or the Chaos Rules; it only requires cultivating three thousand different martial arts techniques.
Back then, when Lu Tao crafted the No. 1 Small World, he imprinted all 321 martial arts techniques he knew onto it. Similarly, when he crafted the No. 1 Great Thousand World, he gathered all three thousand martial arts techniques before crafting it.
With the comprehension of God Emperors and Saint Realm experts, coupled with the long years they have lived, they could easily master three thousand martial arts techniques.
and.
You don't even need to cultivate martial arts of a high grade; just martial arts of the lower realm... the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow grade will suffice, and you can completely refine a small world.
therefore……
Lu Tao guessed that his act of collecting a hundred planets in the lower realm would probably let the God Emperor of Tianyu Sect know that the minor world in his possession was a top-level minor world.
If Lu Tao were to collect more than one hundred planets, it would inevitably give the Tianyu Sect another piece of information—that Lu Tao possesses the Great Thousand Worlds.
Therefore, Lu Tao would certainly not easily change his plan to acquire planets and races.
The original plan will be implemented as scheduled.
"Return to the lower realm!"
Various thoughts flashed through his mind, but Lu Tao didn't think too much about it. He left the No. 2 Great Thousand World, took out No. 1, placed it in the secret realm, and put away the Tribulation Transcending Secret Realm. He instructed, "No. 1, you stay here for now and wait for us to come back."
"Yes, Sect Master!"
The No. 1, which has been upgraded to an intermediate-level Great Thousand World, was placed in the secret realm. Inside its body was a golden statue of Lu Tao, which served as a 'teleportation array' for Lu Tao's return.
Buzz!
After leaving behind Number One, Lu Tao sent his divine sense back to the lower realm. At the same time, the Second Great Thousand World took his physical body into it and left with Lu Tao's soul.
Whoosh!
In the lower realm beyond the heavens, Lu Tao's golden body opened its eyes.
"Greetings, Sect Master!"
"No need for formalities!"
Lu Tao gestured to the guest elders not to stand on ceremony, then asked, "Has the Tianyu Sect made any other moves recently?"
Yu Dexing replied, "Reporting to the sect leader, no, they are still the same as before. They just sent messages from the various races of the desolate region to the lower realm, spreading messages throughout the starry sky, trying to persuade you to hand over everything you have."
"Um!"
Lu Tao nodded silently.
He already knew about this.
With their strength, the guest elders of the Immortal Sect are well-versed in everything about the lower realm starry sky.
Through the Immortal Sect's spirit, Changqing, Lu Tao would naturally learn of this matter.
Even if he knew about this at that time, he couldn't easily solve it, or at least not perfectly.
Therefore.
He could only pretend not to know and let the matter go unaddressed.
Furthermore, this is also a good opportunity to allow the Immortal Sect to grow stronger while the Heavenly Universe Sect is threatening him.
And now... he's already a God Emperor.
As for what would become of the demons in the desolate region, Lu Tao wasn't too concerned.
After the previous battle, the strongest and most outstanding talents of the top hundreds of races in the Desolate Region have basically been wiped out.
The other demons are all races with relatively weak strength.
and.
Lately, these demons have been cursing him quite a bit.
If Lu Tao didn't possess a large amount of merit power, he wouldn't have fared well, even if separated by the boundary wall and the barrier of the Great Thousand Worlds.
Although they were forced into it, Lu Tao was happy to let them suffer a little first.
"All disciples, emerge from seclusion and collect planets and races!"
Lu Tao stood in the outer heavens and released the disciples of the Immortal Sect with a wave of his hand.
"Yes, Sect Master!"
The moment the Immortal Sect disciples appeared in the lower realm, a terrifying suppressive force appeared on them without warning. However, they were prepared for this, or rather, they had long been accustomed to it.
It wasn't surprising.
Under the suppression of heaven and earth, nothing unexpected happened.
"Go, and return quickly!"
Once they had adapted to the suppression, Lu Tao issued orders, adding, "Also, find those races that spread the news, confiscate all their items that connect them to the wasteland, and... replace the sealing array at the spatial node."
"Yes, Sect Master!"
The disciples obeyed the order and flew towards the starry sky, taking with them Rule World No. 1.
After the disciples left, Lu Tao glanced at Yu Dexing and the others, noticing the envy in their eyes, and said, "When I improve the Blood Essence Array Manual later, I'll see if I can let you continue cultivating it."
"Yes, Sect Master!"
"Thank you for your kindness, Sect Master!"
"Thank you, Sect Master!"
...
Yu Dexing and the other guest elders were all overjoyed.
All their cultivation was created using the Blood Essence Array Scripture, but due to the special nature of the Blood Essence Array Scripture, their cultivation remained at the Martial God realm, preventing them from continuing their cultivation.
In the past, they would not have had any other thoughts about becoming gods.
However, nowadays, as the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on the various planets in the lower realm becomes increasingly abundant, more and more cultivators are able to ascend.
Especially since the entire Ganyu Continent had been moved away, they also longed to cultivate to a higher level and enter a small world to cultivate.
However, the limitations of the Blood Essence Array Scripture forced them to abandon this unrealistic idea.
To their surprise, the sect leader was actually willing to improve the Blood Essence Array Manual for them. How could they not be excited?
Seeing the excited guest elder, Lu Tao nodded without saying anything more.
In fact.
He had already improved the Blood Essence Array Manual, allowing these guest elders to continue their cultivation.
However, he did not make any changes for them for the time being, and planned to wait until the matter of the wasteland was resolved before taking any action.
And this process won't take long.
——
"Where is Lu Tao? The divine realm has issued a decree; come and receive the order at once!"
"Lu Tao! Get out here! You caused trouble in the God Realm, and then you hid away, causing our ancestors to be humiliated in the God Realm. If you're someone important, get out here!"
"Hahaha, does someone like this deserve your faith? Don't you feel ashamed to worship such a shameless person?"
"Believe in him? You might as well believe in an insect. Forget about believing in anyone!"
"You cowardly wretch, come out here!"
...
"Sect Master, Sect Master, save us! Our ancestors have been captured by the Tianyu Sect in the God Realm. They are being tortured by the Tianyu Sect. If you don't appear in time, they will all perish under the Ten Thousand Soul Banner."
"Sect Master, Sect Master, where are you? Your followers beg you, please save them."
"Help, Sect Master! The beings of the God Realm can only rely on you! Please, give the shattered Divine Platform Secret Realm to the Heavenly Universe Sect! Our clan will worship you for all eternity!"
"Sect Master, where are you?"
...
At this moment, the entire starry sky is bustling with activity.
On countless planets, martial kings and martial gods are calling out to Lu Tao.
Some cursed, and some prayed.
Among these cursers were many of Lu Tao's original followers, but when they learned that their ancestors in the divine realm had been implicated by Lu Tao, captured and humiliated by the Tianyu Sect, and even faced the danger of death and extermination, they disregarded their faith and began to curse Lu Tao.
Terms like "cowardly rat," "weak and incompetent," and "dare to do but not to take responsibility" have long been circulating on many planets.
However, such curses are far fewer than the sounds of prayer.
Many powerful beings from various races on numerous planets have long been followers of Lu Tao and have gained many benefits from him. Even though the ancestors of the God Realm have been humiliated and even faced the threat of extinction, a large number of believers still choose to trust Lu Tao.
We pray that he can help the people of the desolate region and resolve this matter.
In their view, as long as Lu Tao sends out the Divine Platform Secret Realm, the Tianyu Sect will definitely be able to let go of their ancestors.
"Sect Master, please save them! They are all innocent."
"Sect Master, let's abandon that Divine Platform Secret Realm. It's already in ruins anyway, there's no point in keeping it."
"Yes, Sect Master, to be able to save billions of lives with tattered materials is an absolutely meritorious act. In the years to come, our clan will surely have a devout faith in you!"
"Sect Master, I beg you!"
...
But Lu Tao's other followers, upon hearing these voices, also responded with crushing retorts.
"Come on, Tianyu Sect is clearly targeting the sect leader. It's not just about a mere broken Divine Platform Secret Realm. If the sect leader were to appear before Tianyu Sect, given their ruthlessness, they certainly wouldn't let him go."
"That's right! Tianyu Sect is clearly acting in the name of its sect leader. Your ancestors may have been pitiful, but that was because of Tianyu Sect's wickedness. You can't blame the sect leader."
"That's right, I've heard that some people are even blaming the sect leader for the evil deeds committed by the Tianyu Sect. It's utterly ridiculous!"
"Sect Master, you can't afford to pay attention to these guys. Sending them out of the Divine Platform Secret Realm this time might save them, but what about next time? What will you send next time? Their lives?"
"Sect Leader, we will always support you!"
...
The Immortal Sect disciples initially felt uneasy hearing the curses and pleas, but upon hearing the voices supporting their sect leader, their pent-up feelings dissipated considerably.
then.
The Immortal Sect disciples began to recruit one race after another according to their ranking on the Faith Ranking.
At the same time, they also followed the sect leader's orders to find the races that were spreading messages in the starry sky, and then collected their altars, artifacts, and other items that were connected to the desolate region.
This has led to anger and rage among many races.
However, they were powerless to resist the terrifying strength of the Immortal Sect disciples.
but.
The disciples of the Immortal Sect offered words of comfort to those who came to pray, saying that the sect leader would handle the matter and that they need not worry.
The disciples of the Immortal Sect were far less polite to those who hurled curses.
Those who deserve to be killed should be killed, and those who deserve to be crippled should be crippled.
It can be said that they showed absolutely no mercy.
They were not worried that these beings would resent them or stop believing in their leader.
after all.
Most of those who are vehemently criticizing are from planets and races that joined the Kingdom of Faith relatively late.
Those who truly and devoutly believed in their patriarch mostly prayed for him to save their ancestors.
These supplicants, after receiving comfort from the disciples of the Immortal Sect, have not yet seen any results and have had their communication devices taken away, so it is unlikely that they will know what the outcome will be.
But they still chose to believe.
Buzzing—
As one race after another was taken into the small world, such a commotion naturally attracted the attention of the creatures in the lower starry sky.
In this way...
The curses grew louder and louder.
But the outcome was increasingly dire.
but.
After discovering that some races had been taken away by the Immortal Sect, many powerful individuals contacted their predecessors in the Desolate Region to report the events in the lower realm.
That's how it is.
In a short time, the disciples of the Immortal Sect collected a planet and a hundred races into their small world, replaced the sealing array, and then returned to the Outer Heaven.
At the same time, they also brought back what happened in the starry sky and told Lu Tao about it.
After learning about these things, Lu Tao didn't care too much.
The impact is minimal.
"Go back and cultivate."
Lu Tao took his disciples into the Great Thousand World, telling them not to worry about anything else and to focus on their cultivation, while he flew towards the starry sky.
Meanwhile, He Yuanshuang asked Lu Tao within the vast world, "Husband, what are your plans regarding the desolate region?"
Lu Tao laughed and said, "I've never personally killed a God Emperor before, this is a rare opportunity!"
Upon hearing this, He Yuanshuang's eyes immediately lit up.
Buzz!
As he spoke, Lu Tao had already arrived deep in the starry sky. After confirming that no living beings would discover him, he moved his mind and instantly returned to the No. 1 Great Thousand World through the divine statue.
then.
Lu Tao took out the Two Realms Passage again and traveled through it time and time again, crossing one heaven after another, until he returned to Jade Dragon Heaven.
Finally, Lu Tao appeared in a secluded place, donned an invisibility cloak, and silently slipped into the boundary wall, heading towards the desolate region...
