An Ge sneered, "Get this straight, it's not that I voluntarily took on the responsibility of the Divine Realm, but rather that you want to hand it over to me. Since you have something to ask of me, please be sincere, okay?"
She was now certain that it was impossible for her to simply abandon this situation. Ever since sensing the emotions of the smaller plane, she had been forced to confront a problem she had been avoiding: perhaps she would truly be bound to the Divine Realm from now on.
A somewhat apologetic voice came from the Heavenly Dao, "I'm sorry, An Ge, because of the Evil Realm, I've always been cautious over the years. Don't worry, I will tell you everything from now on. You're right, besides wanting to change the status quo of the Divine Realm, this matter is also related to the Evil Realm."
The Evil Realm, though dormant for tens of thousands of years, has never truly given up its attacks on the Divine Realm. However, they have ceased direct assaults and instead conducted various experiments, including the God-Making Project and the God-Descent Project, both of which have now yielded results. This is why they launched a large-scale operation, catching the Divine Realm completely off guard.
"I've long known that the Evil Realm is restless, and I even warned it through the Spirit of the Divine Realm, but you know the Spirit's nature; it couldn't change anything. As the Heavenly Dao of the Divine Realm, I can't arbitrarily choose the Chosen One like the Heavenly Dao of a minor plane. Therefore, for so many years, I can only watch helplessly as the Evil Realm grows stronger and stronger."
After hearing Tiandao's explanation, An Ge put herself in his shoes and thought that if she were in Tiandao's shoes, she probably wouldn't have done any better. Tiandao seemed to be able to control the fate of many people, but in reality, its control was subject to many limitations. The higher the plane, the more limitations there were.
In the Divine Realm, this restriction reached its peak. If the Heavenly Dao hadn't detected his aura from the very beginning, he might not have been able to summon her.
"With my current abilities, it seems I haven't fully mastered the Divine Realm yet." Ange could sense the changes in the Divine Realm, but always felt something was missing.
"Yes, that relates to your last question. The spirit of the divine realm is not yet completely separated from the Divine Descent Platform, or rather, it has not yet formed a contract with you. Only when you form a contract with it will it be completely bound to the divine realm."
Ange was shocked, "The Contract Leader?"
“Yes, you can treat the Divine Realm as a divine artifact, and its leader is its spirit, so it can naturally be contracted. Ange, the Divine Realm has never been contracted by a Divine Lord since its birth. Now I am preparing to entrust the Divine Realm to you. Can I trust you?”
An Ge's heart skipped a beat. A contract with the entire divine realm—something she had never dared to dream of before. "No, you'd better not believe me."
She lives in the Divine Realm, so naturally she wouldn't disregard it. As for contracts and such, she'd rather not have them. If word got out, wouldn't the entire Divine Realm go crazy?
Even if she does nothing, no god would want a being above them who controls their life and death.
An Ge's hasty denial actually put the Heavenly Dao at ease. It smiled and said, "I really admire you, An Ge. Only the Spirit of the Divine Realm knows about the contract with the Divine Realm; other gods won't sense it. Once the contract is made, you'll never have to fear being bullied by other gods again, and you'll even be able to detect who the traitors of the Divine Realm are."
"And haven't you been searching for a ginseng spirit? Once you form a contract with the spirit of the divine realm, the entire divine realm will fall within your divine consciousness."
An Ge gasped. This offer was just too tempting!
"Is there any price to pay?" She didn't believe there were only benefits and no drawbacks; this Heavenly Dao was much more cunning than the Heavenly Dao of smaller planes.
"There's no price to pay. Once you become the ruler of the Divine Realm, your strength won't improve much through cultivation alone. Only when the Divine Realm develops can you break through. In other words, the prosperity of the Divine Realm is your prosperity, and the demise of the Divine Realm is your demise."
An Ge didn't think the price was unfair. Just like when the Demon God forced the Demon God's power upon her, she gained something, so naturally she had to pay a price.
An Ge took a deep breath. "One last question. You probably know my personality. Aren't you afraid I might ruin myself one day? You know, I'm mortal enemies with the Evil Realm. If I really take control of the Divine Realm, I'll definitely go to war with the Evil Realm. What will happen to the Divine Realm if... well, you know, happens to me?"
"Uh..." An Ge's question stumped Tian Dao. "Aren't you very protective of your life?" Among all the chosen ones, An Ge was the most protective of her life she had ever seen. Back then, because of insufficient strength, she didn't even have the courage to step out of the inn.
An Ge rolled her eyes. "That's ancient history, Heavenly Dao. Your information is outdated. But you're right, I do cherish my life. The world is so beautiful, I can't bear to die. But sometimes you have no choice, you know?"
The Heavenly Dao remained silent for a while. Just when An Ge thought it would retract its thoughts, it said, "Without you, the Divine Realm would exist for at most a hundred years! An Ge, I no longer have the ability to choose a new Divine Lord. You are currently the only hope for the Divine Realm."
An Ge gasped in surprise. She had expected the Evil Realm to cause trouble, but she hadn't anticipated it to be this serious. Suddenly, she thought of the constantly wailing minor planes, and her worries seemed to have come true: "Has the Evil Realm launched a full-scale attack on the minor planes?"
"The Evil Realm has already established numerous forces in the minor planes, and has even altered the attributes of some of them. The reason the Spirit of the Divine Realm is ill is due to the influence of these minor planes. The Divine Realm really cannot wait any longer."
Emerging from the Heavenly Dao Space, An Ge's gaze was complex. Hearing the arguments from these smaller planes no longer gave him a headache; instead, he felt endless worry. Just how many smaller planes had the Evil Domain corrupted, enough to damage the body of a divine spirit?
The thought of the beings in the smaller planes already suffering or about to suffer filled An Ge with a sense of urgency. She agreed to the Heavenly Dao's request not because she wanted to control the Divine Realm, but because if the Evil Realm were left unchecked, countless smaller planes would end up like the apocalyptic planes.
Just then, they heard the excited voice of the spirit of the divine realm, "Lord Ange, have you seen the Heavenly Dao?"
An Ge looked at the leader with a complicated expression. "Yes, I learned a lot about the Divine Realm from the Heavenly Dao. Uh..." She suddenly didn't know how to start. She couldn't very well say, "Hey, let's make a contract," could she?
Seeing An Ge's hesitation, the spirit of the divine realm looked relieved. "The Heavenly Dao has already told you about the contract, right? What are you waiting for? Come and make the contract." After saying that, he rubbed his palms together, looking expectant.
The leader's reaction was completely unexpected by An Ge. "I thought you would mind."
"How could that be?" The spirit of the divine realm looked at me with a "Are you kidding me?" expression. "My biggest dream is to have a god-king protecting me. If I become your contractor in the future, I won't have to worry about anything. I'd be overjoyed, why would I object?"
That makes a lot of sense, and An Ge was speechless for a moment.
