Cao Ya stroked his chin. The Mountain and Sea Palace is a sacred place in the divine realm and is related to the Heavenly Venerable!
"Go to the Mountain and Sea Palace? Your Majesty, you overestimate us." Marquis Quinn shook his head.
"Since it involves the opportunity of a God-King, the Heavenly Venerables might also pay attention," Duanmu Yu said with a smile.
"It's uncertain!" Shen Tu Fan said in a low voice, somewhat shy and introverted.
Qin Yu knew nothing about the Mountain and Sea Palace, so he quickly asked.
"The Mountain and Sea Palace is the only publicly known palace of the three Heavenly Venerables in the Divine Realm!"
Duanmu Yu explained, still with a faint smile on her face, showing no sign of being troubled by the task.
Upon seeing this, Qin Yu couldn't help but wonder, could it be that this prince of Antarctic Mirror City has some way to meet with a Celestial Venerable?
According to rumors, the Celestial Venerable who is backed by the local royal family should not belong to the Northwest Thunder Punishment City.
Thinking of this, Qin Yu's expression became somewhat solemn.
Zhou Xian was the prince of Thunder Punishment City. He had even descended to the mortal realm, reaching the first level of the human world, where he destroyed a city with a wave of his hand!
Qin Yu still hasn't forgotten that scene! Especially the people who were just alive and kicking before his eyes, suddenly all of them vanished, their souls scattered!
They had no connection with Zhou Xian, nor had they offended him. It was only because Zhou Xian wanted to show his power and claim that he "understood the heavens better" that he destroyed a city!
Perhaps Zhou Xian has long forgotten, and will never remember, that there was once a mortal city that he crushed.
But Qin Yu could never forget! In the past, he lacked the power to avenge the innocent victims who died tragically. Now... although he was still somewhat lacking and could not ignore the Heavenly Venerable and God King of Northwest Thunder Punishment City, defeating Zhou Xian was no longer a difficult task for him.
In the future, as the new universe becomes more complete and its power increases dramatically, Qin Yu will definitely kill Zhou Xian!
If it were just a love rival, Qin Yu would regard him as an opponent, but he wouldn't easily have such a strong desire to kill him!
The faces of countless victims lingered deep in Qin Yu's mind; he dared not forget them!
I swear I will not rest until I kill Zhou Xian!
However, before he possesses the strength to confront Thunder Punishment City, Qin Yu must remain patient and wait. At the same time, he will do everything in his power to secure all three spots in this marriage contest!
He didn't want any changes to his marriage with Li'er!
Clearly, this first mission, the trip to the Mountain and Sea Palace, is most beneficial to Zhou Xian!
“Brother Zhou, you’ve already secured the first spot,” Queen Hou said with a smile.
He is one of the temple masters of Snowdrift City in the Arctic. He made great contributions to Snowdrift City in the war of the gods. He is also an extremely powerful upper god. He is highly valued by the Holy Emperor of the Arctic. In terms of status, none of the princes and princesses, except for the special Jiang Li, are as good as Marquis Quinn!
Queen has lived for countless ages, sixty quadrillion years ago, and was a high god!
He did have some knowledge of the secrets of the divine realm.
Zhou Xian smiled smugly, then quickly adopted a humble demeanor, saying, "Heavenly Venerable is the Heavenly Venerable of the Divine Realm, and also the Heavenly Venerable of countless lower realms, no longer just the Heavenly Venerable of our Thunder Punishment City!"
"So, like you, I have to start over at the Mountain and Sea Palace. Whether I can receive a gift from the Heavenly Venerable is still unknown."
That being said, Zhou Xian's expression told a different story.
If he couldn't see the Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerable, he could simply have his father, the Northwest Holy Emperor, persuade his grandfather, the Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerable, to do the same!
At that time, among the candidates present, who can compare to him?
How could the Northwest Holy Emperor not be concerned about the possibility of having an additional God-King in Northwest Thunder Punishment City, especially since it was his own son?
As long as he marries Jiang Li and refines the Meteor Tear, it will be almost a certainty for the upper-level celestial god who is stuck at the gate of the God King realm to prove his Dao!
No need for a second meteor tear!
After all, the upper gods have a deep understanding of the laws of space!
As for Jiang Li's wishes...
Zhou Xian pondered. As a prince of Thunder Punishment City, he was no less than Jiang Li in terms of status. In addition, with the Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerable as an factor, marrying him could be considered Jiang Li marrying above his station. What more could he ask for?
"Haha, come on, let's drink. Anyway, there are three spots. If the first one doesn't make it, everyone still has a chance." Queen was quite easygoing and not bothered by it.
Duanmu Yu also wore a smile, displaying a mindset of neither being elated by external gains nor saddened by personal losses.
The other candidates are all individuals of considerable status and strength, possessing considerable power in both areas.
They are either princes, disciples of the God-King, or masters of powerful sects, and all of them are upper-level gods!
They all knew more or less about the situation at the Mountain and Sea Palace, and knew that Zhou Xian had the upper hand in this task.
But with only three spots available, who can say for sure what will happen to the last two?
Furthermore, they were just giving it a try. If they succeeded, all the better, and they might even become God Kings. If they were eliminated, there was nothing they could do but go back and cultivate diligently, comprehend the laws of space, and strive for great success!
Qin Yu looked around, feeling somewhat depressed. Apart from him, all the other contestants had come for the Meteor Tear and the chance to become a God King!
None of them truly loved Jiang Li! They weren't even rivals in love!
"I absolutely cannot let Li'er down!" Qin Yu thought to himself, his resolve growing stronger.
Although Cao Ya was present, he was not a candidate. He drank his wine, which was a fine wine from Snowdrift City and was almost impossible to buy in the God Realm market!
He glanced around, taking in the situation of everyone present.
Zhou Xian thought he was being modest, but who couldn't see the smugness in him?
"But he clearly forgot that the Mountain and Sea Palace is the palace of the three Heavenly Venerables."
"It's nothing that the Thunder Punishment Celestial Venerable favors his own grandson."
"But what about the other two? Are they really not moved by any of the gods?"
Cao Ya thought to himself, "The Celestial Venerable of Freedom is a powerful backer of those who have ascended to immortality. It's not impossible that he would favor Qin Yu!"
The three Qin brothers are all ascendants, and are top geniuses! In addition, Qin Yu is also a master of weapon crafting, and is the successor of the "God of Craftsmen" Che Houyuan. He also cultivated to the level of an upper celestial god very quickly!
The probability of the God-King, who is in charge of nurturing ascendants, rewarding Qin Yu with this opportunity is by no means zero!
Even though, apart from the Asura God King and Cao Ya, no one knew that Hou Fei and the Carefree Celestial Venerable were father and son.
According to normal thinking, no one would think that Qin Yu had no hope at all.
This was because the Celestial Venerable had taken the initiative to appear and reward a certain deity.
If that person can truly pass the test of the Mountain and Sea Palace... I'm afraid even the Celestial Venerable Piaoyu will show himself!
Cao Ya even knew that because Qin Yu had created a new universe, he was destined to transcend!
How could Hongmeng and Linmeng possibly stand idly by regarding Qin Yu's marriage?
On the surface, Zhou Xian may have a better chance, but Qin Yu's chances are not small either.
But in the shadows, Qin Yu stands out from the crowd!
Not to mention, Qin Yu has amazing comprehension, and with the power of the new universe, he has a great chance of passing the test!
While the first task may seem to benefit Zhou Xian, Qin Yu actually has a slight advantage!
The former received the reward through connections, while the latter received it based on his own abilities.
The two situations are not comparable!
"Hehe, this Arctic Holy Queen's wishful thinking is destined to fail."
Cao Ya glanced at the dozen or so tables at the head of the table and smiled inwardly.
Chunyu Rou, the wife of the Holy Emperor of the North Pole, is Zhou Xian's aunt. How could she not favor her?
It's hard to say how much effort Chunyu Rou put into this first task!
Moreover, as the backer of the eight great royal families, the Thunder Punishment Celestial Venerable and the Arctic Holy Emperor would not refuse to deepen their relationship with him!
In the face of the interests of the royal family, what does it matter if a daughter is sacrificed?
Even if one is a master craftsman, how can he compare to the promise made by the Heavenly Venerable?
The latter is the one who truly overlooks the realm of gods, laughing arrogantly at countless beings, and even the most powerful god-kings must submit to him!
At the head of the table, a group of god-kings were also talking. They all believed that even though the mission had not yet started, Zhou Xian, the prince of the Northwest Thunder Punishment City, already had a firm advantage.
"Northern Holy Emperor, you are truly remarkable. You have selfish motives, yet you still act so dignified." The Blood Demon Queen sneered, glancing at Chunyu Rou with undisguised contempt.
Chunyu Rou's face turned pale, but she dared not utter a sound.
In a dialogue between god-kings, where is there any room for celestial beings to intervene?
The Arctic Holy Emperor looked somewhat displeased. If you can see through something, just let it go. Why say it out loud?
Even a dignified Holy Emperor, whose fame has resounded throughout the God Realm for 120 trillion years, still has his pride.
Of course, he didn't dare to offend the Blood Demon Queen too much—mainly because he had indeed left himself vulnerable! He couldn't blame others for their opinions!
The Blood Demon Queen is the leader of Blood Demon Mountain. She stands alongside the Pufa God King, the strongest in the Buddhist Realm, and the Piaomiao God King, the strongest in the Immortal Realm, on Twin Domains Island. She is one of the leaders of the ascendants!
Only below the Asura God King of the Asura Sea!
The first three are all at the "Time Acceleration" level. None of them are inferior to the Arctic Saint Emperor, and they may even be stronger!
Even the Arctic Holy Emperor "Jiang Fan" was only able to gain a certain advantage by relying on the "Dark Origin Spirit Pearl," a first-class primordial spiritual treasure.
However, Jiang Fan's probability of breaking through "time freeze" is not as high as those three.
In this situation, we should naturally give them some face!
"Others, if they can pass the Mountain and Sea Palace's test, they are not without a chance," said the Arctic Holy Emperor, trying to justify his position.
The crowd chuckled in disbelief. How many people throughout history have truly caught the eye of the Celestial Venerable? Very few indeed!
"We've come this far, and we have a connection. What's the point if we don't use it?" the Northwest Holy Emperor said calmly, trying to help the Arctic Holy Emperor out of his predicament, after all, he was biased towards his son, Zhou Xian.
Furthermore, Thunder Punishment City has a Celestial Venerable, unlike the Arctic Holy Emperor and others, who are not afraid of the Blood Demon Queen, the Ethereal God King, the Universal Law God King, or even the Asura God King!
Even the Northwest Holy Emperor himself is not as good as the Asura God King.
In terms of cultivation level, it's not necessarily true that he can surpass the other three ascended god-kings!
But this did not diminish the arrogance of the Northwest Holy Emperor in the slightest!
Even the strongest god-king, who exerts all his strength and uses top-tier spiritual treasures, is nothing more than a slap from a Heavenly Venerable!
"Heh, who can say for sure what the final outcome will be before everything is settled?" The Asura God King smiled slightly.
He knew that he had been entrusted by the Celestial Venerable Xiaoyao to take Hou Fei as his disciple.
Qin Yu, as Hou Fei's elder brother, is also a hero among the ascendants.
It's perfectly normal for the Celestial Venerable of Leisure to appear and bestow spiritual treasures!
However, since the Celestial Venerable of Leisure was unwilling to reveal such a secret, the Asura God King naturally wouldn't say a word.
He had a good relationship with the former Carefree God King, and even after becoming the Carefree Celestial Venerable, they maintained contact.
Otherwise, the request to take on disciples and one's own children would not have fallen to the Asura God King.
Whether out of consideration for past friendships or for the support of an ascended being, the Asura God King would not refuse.
"Since Brother Luo Fan has a different opinion, and coincidentally, I do too, let's each keep our opinions to ourselves and wait and see," the Northwest Holy Emperor said with a smile, somewhat dismissive.
Soon, the banquet ended, and the god-kings continued to chat. Although their spatial abilities were fully developed, allowing them to easily scan the entire god realm with their divine sense, such gatherings in reality were not many for them.
In the vast realm of gods, there are only forty or fifty people who can interact with each other on an equal footing, regardless of their position.
We also need to exclude some reclusive god-kings who live in seclusion in small groups and are unwilling to participate in any conferences!
Upon closer inspection, it's even less!
Even the God-King, who could endure loneliness, occasionally had a need to communicate with others and engage in social interactions.
Unlike the leisurely God-King, the gods began making preparations for their upcoming departure!
Inside Piaoyun Mansion, Qin Yu called out to Hei Yu. The three brothers were overjoyed to see each other.
Qin Yu and Hei Yu were also very curious about Hou Fei's experience, how did he become the disciple of the "First God King"?
Hou Fei was also completely baffled by this. He asked the Asura God King, but the only reply was that he would be informed once he became a God King.
But what level is a God-King? In 120 trillion years, there have only been a few dozen!
Even though Hou Fei was confident, he didn't think he had much hope of becoming a god-king.
Even if it exists, who knows how many billions of years from now!
On the other side, Cao Ya did not disturb the three brothers' long-awaited reunion, and stayed with Duanmu Yu, Shentu Fan, Kui Yinhou and others.
Upon seeing Cao Ya, the group was quite surprised. Duanmu Yu asked with a smile, "Brother Cao, are you also going to the Mountain and Sea Palace?"
Cao Ya nodded and said, "Although I have never participated in a marriage contest like you, I should not go to the Mountain and Sea Palace. But I am very curious about the Heavenly Venerable's palace. If I can be granted a spiritual treasure, it would be a great gain."
The group shook their heads. Throughout the history of the God Realm, there have been many who shared Cao Ya's ideas, but very few have succeeded.
Zhou Xian sneered and said, "Don't interfere with us, or your uncle will not let you off the hook!"
Cao Ya didn't bother with him at all. He was just an arrogant and domineering upper-level god. If it weren't for the Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerable, he wouldn't be able to beat him now. He would have just slapped him to death.
Upon seeing this, Zhou Xian's expression turned very unpleasant.
How could a prince like him ever be ignored like this? It was truly humiliating!
If it weren't for the long-standing reputation of Cao Ya's formidable combat prowess, which allowed him to defeat opponents of higher ranks... Now that they are both Upper Gods, Zhou Xian is indeed not confident that he can defeat Cao Ya!
He didn't want to waste his energy on Cao Ya, who wasn't a competitor, at this crucial moment in the marriage selection!
"What kind of bullshit genius is this? If you're so capable, try fighting against a God-King while you're in the body of a Celestial God!"
Zhou Xian sneered inwardly, having come up with a plan to have his father, the Emperor, intervene and find a pretext to kill Cao Ya!
He detests this kind of genius the most!
Zhou Xian was filled with jealousy towards Shen Tu Fan, Duanmu Yu, and others!
"Just wait, once I marry Jiang Li and get the Meteor Tear, I'll break through to the God King realm... I don't care what kind of heroes you are, I'll defeat them all, it doesn't matter, I'll crush them into dead dogs!"
A sinister glint flashed in Zhou Xian's eyes.
Especially when other people talk to each other, no one takes the initiative to flatter or fawn over him.
“A bunch of idiots. The grandson of the Celestial Venerable, the future God King, doesn’t even know how to curry favor.” Zhou Xian’s expression was cold.
