The King of Light was not angry. He smiled and said, "I have been in the Dark Temple for too long. I am eager to see if, after so long, the new powerhouses are as glorious as we were before."
His eyes glazed over for a moment: "I remember that back then, the Northern Region and the Central Region were the strongest in the Dao Domain. So much time has passed, I wonder if they are still the same."
"How arrogant!"
Chen Xuan did not continue to make a move, but only sneered.
Xiao Tianzhan is about to arrive; it would be pointless for him to take action.
"Xiao Tianzhan?"
Han Feng was also very interested.
The true body has already entered the sea of mist along with the Dao ship, leaving only the void Dao body.
When Xiao Tianzhan arrived and noticed his presence, Han Feng wasn't worried at all.
Han Feng killed Xiao Yujian and Xiao Tianzhan's clones in the vast starry sky, and Xiao Tianzhan vowed to kill him.
He had been hiding in the Tianyuan tribe, and Xiao Tianzhan couldn't find him no matter how hard he tried.
Now that we're about to leave the Northern Region, it would be good to take a look at Xiao Tianzhan, a powerful expert at the Heavenly Realm.
Han Feng's understanding of Xiao Tianzhan is still quite limited; the more he learns, the better.
A handsome middle-aged man appeared next to Chen Xuan, exuding the domineering aura of a superior.
"Greetings to the Northern Emperor."
Chen Xuan respectfully clasped his hands in greeting.
"You are Xiao Tianzhan. Your strength is far greater than I imagined. You can cause a great change in the world even before you arrive."
The King of Light sized up Xiao Tianzhan, showing no intention of fleeing.
Xiao Tianzhan said in a deep voice, "The people of the Dark Temple should be buried underground in the Northern Region. To show up in the Northern Region and rob my caravan, you really have no fear of death."
"Why would I hide underground in the Northern Region? Strictly speaking, the Northern Region belongs to our Dark Temple. You are just a person from the Central Region. If we're talking about who the Northern Region belongs to, it should be our Dark Temple."
The way of the bright future is the right one.
“We, the people of the Central Region, have conquered the Northern Region. Therefore, the Northern Region belongs to our Central Region. You people of the Northern Region have become inferior. You should understand what I mean.”
Xiao Tianzhan said coldly.
King Guangming was not provoked and sighed, "You are right. Our Northern Region was conquered by your Central Region. You became the ruling class, and we became slaves."
"After I awoke, I traveled to many places and found that the Northern Region humans were severely oppressed by your Central Region humans. Many Northern Region humans could not survive. All of this is because our Dark Temple is not doing its job."
"However, on the other hand, it's a little better for you to rule the Northern Region. The human race in the Northern Region under the rule of the Dark Temple is in a much worse state. Many people are just hoping to live, especially the three Heavenly Kings who are on par with me."
"Those three were inhuman; they killed far too many people. To be honest, if I had the strength back then, I would have killed them without hesitation. Unfortunately, I failed."
Xiao Tianzhan looked bewildered: "Which side are you on?"
"I am not on either side."
The King of Light shook his head and said, "I only stand on my own side. I had no choice but to join the Dark Temple before because the Dark Emperor was too strong. Now that I have been reborn and the Dark Temple is gone, I can go all out."
His eyes gleamed with anticipation: "Next, I will establish a Church of Light in the Northern Region. Our aim is to ensure equality among people, and for mortals and cultivators to coexist on an equal footing. In many places, people will not kill each other for their own selfish desires."
Chen Xuan said, "Are you kidding me? How can the strong and the weak coexist? In the Mortal Dynasty, people of high and low status cannot live together, let alone cultivators who are above the level of ordinary life. For a cultivator, killing a mortal is just a matter of a thought."
King Guangming shook his head and said, "That shows your shortsightedness. I ask you, if there were a stronger being upholding justice, do you think that stronger being would dare to kill that weaker one?"
Chen Xuan retorted, "Then how would you deal with this even stronger individual who abused his power and broke the law?"
The King of Light replied, "Just kill him directly. You'll probably say there are even stronger ones, but I'm telling you that's impossible, because I am the strongest. There is a difference between mortals and cultivators. Mortals will suffer from deception because of distance and the suffering of their mortal bodies."
"But we cultivators don't have so many restrictions. If we want to know the details, we can find out immediately. In the future, I will transform the entire Northern Region into an immortal kingdom where people can enjoy balance. Anyone who wants to cultivate can do so. Do you see the white-robed man below?"
"These people in white were not recruited into the Divine Cult by me; they joined voluntarily. In this vast world, there are always people who share my ideals. Do you see that woman in the early stage of the Earthly Realm? Her name is Zhang Shanshan. She was originally just a mortal, and her parents were wealthy families in the town."
“Zhang Shanshan was the apple of her parents’ eye since she was a child. Because her parents helped the poor people in the town, she was welcomed by the townspeople wherever she went. If things had continued like this, Zhang Shanshan would have lived a normal and happy life.”
"But two Core Formation stage cultivators were fighting, and the aftershocks of their battle destroyed the entire town. Except for Zhang Shanshan, who escaped, everyone else died in the battle. Zhang Shanshan had achieved great success in her cultivation and killed both of them, but what good was that?"
“The dead will not come back to life. Zhang Shanshan’s revenge is just to make herself feel better. If these two cultivators hadn’t fought, Zhang Shanshan’s family and the people in the town would not have suffered. You should understand what I mean.”
Chen Xuan said impatiently, "Enough! What do I care if they live or die?"
The King of Light sighed and said, “You have not felt their pain, how can you know these things? Look at me, I have been in the underground labyrinth for so long. I came out of the underground labyrinth, and they are still willing to follow me because only I know their pain, a pain that goes deep into their bones.”
"The purpose of our Church of Light is to prevent others from experiencing the same suffering. We will make this world a brighter place. Suffering cannot be eliminated, but we can reduce it."
Xiao Tianzhan looked displeased: "Your so-called establishment of a vast immortal kingdom is about overthrowing the existing power in the Northern Region. I am the one in charge of the Northern Region now. You are really not afraid of death to say these things in front of me."
The King of Light remained calm: "I dare to say these things to you because I am not afraid of you. Your strength is average. Although I am no match for you, it is impossible for you to kill me."
"Whether I can spare your life is not up to you, but up to me."
Xiao Tianzhan's face was extremely ugly, and he decided to stop wasting words and attack the Bright Heaven King.
