Chapter 3360: The Plan to Nurture Rulers

As soon as she mentioned the outside world, the Jade Heaven Ruler's eyes became filled with curiosity and eagerness.

"The outside world? Since you want to know, it's fine for me to tell you. After all, all of you will leave this place sooner or later." Jian Chen nodded in agreement before selectively telling the Jade Heaven Ruler about certain situations in the Saints' World, allowing her to gain a clear understanding of the outside world.

There were many details. Jian Chen spoke for a total of three days and three nights without rest. The Jade Heaven Ruler was completely engrossed, feeling as if she had just discovered a whole new continent. She was filled with curiosity.

"The Spiritsages? Are you saying that our ancestor branched away from the Spiritsages in the past?" the Jade Heaven Ruler asked in surprise.

"Yes and no, because when your Wood Spirits World left them, the Spiritsages had yet to form. Back then, the various races of the Spirits' World still existed as various alliances. Only in the end, under the pressure of survival, did all of you band together, casting aside the notion of racial differences to form the Spiritsages."

"But by then, your Wood Spirits were no longer a part of them. Instead, you formed two branches and left separately. Your Wood Spirits World should be one of the branches. As for the other branch." Reaching there, Jian Chen sighed gently. "The other branch has likely been destroyed by the Myriad Bone Guild already, as the sovereign god artifact they took with them has already ended up in the hands of the Myriad Bone Guild."

The Jade Heaven Ruler was gloomy. She had already learnt from Jian Chen just how powerful the Myriad Bone Guild was. She could not help but grieve for her doomed clansmen.

"In the Wood Spirits World, you are Wood Spirits, but once you leave this world, you are a part of the Spiritsages."

"I have quite a close connection to the Spiritsages of the Saints' World, so I'm not an enemy to you Wood Spirits."

Jian Chen stared at the Jade Heaven Ruler with shining eyes and said seriously, "This world is still too small after all. If you remain here, your future accomplishments will be extremely limited. As a result, as long as you're willing, I'll take you with me when I leave here and personally bring you to the Spiritsages."

"The Spiritsages of the past were a powerful clan in the Saints' World, but their strength was hollow. Back then, perhaps the Spiritsages were not completely safe, but it's different now."

"The Spiritsages have already produced a sovereign now. Any organisation with a sovereign is a supreme existence in the Saints' World that no one dares to provoke. Under such great circumstances, it'll only benefit you if you return to your clansmen."

"The Saints' World is the true stage. The Wood Spirits World is just a small place in the end."

"I-I'm not in a hurry. I-I have to think about this properly." The Jade Heaven Ruler's expression changed as her emotions fluctuated wildly. She had learnt far too much information from Jian Chen, such that she had not digested it all.

The information she had learnt from Jian Chen had already completely upheaved her understanding of this world.

Jian Chen nodded and did not say anything more, giving the Jade Heaven Ruler ample time to digest everything.

A good while later, the Jade Heaven Ruler raised her head and stared at Jian Chen with mixed feelings. "Once you completely recover, will you be leaving here?"

"Yes," Jian Chen answered without hesitation.

The Jade Heaven Ruler fell quiet.

"There's a stone door in the maze that can only be opened with nine Chaotic Primes. I want to enter it, so I plan on nurturing a few Chaotic Primes soon," said Jian Chen.

"Nurturing rulers isn't that easy. It's almost impossible even if you have ancestral imprints. Otherwise, the nine heavenly kings of the Wood Spirits World would not be stuck at their bottlenecks for all these years." The Jade Heaven Ruler shook her head gently.

"I obviously have my ways, but I don't have a suitable choice of people. You're more than familiar with all the experts of the Wood Spirits World, so I hope you can select some people who are trustworthy for me," said Jian Chen. The Jade Heaven Ruler had already become the most trustworthy person to him before he knew it after everything they had gone through in the maze.

"How many more do you need?" the Jade Heaven Ruler asked.

"I still need seven, and they need to be Ninth Heavenly Layer Infinite Primes at the very least," said Jian Chen.

"Seven, is it?" The Jade Heaven Ruler glanced at Jian Chen deeply before taking her leave soon. "I'll find seven people for you as quickly as possible."

"I'll have to trouble you with this then." Jian Chen cupped his fist politely. Finding a few Ninth Heavenly Layer Infinite Primes in the Wood Spirits World was an extremely easy task.

However, finding people who were suitable for all aspects was far more complicated than it seemed on the surface.

Since he was nuturing Chaotic Primes, he could not just consider their talents and had to take into account the kind of person they were as well.

Otherwise, if he spent so many resources and successfully raised them to Chaotic Prime, only for them to be a rebel with ambitions beyond his control, it would simply be a horrible investment.

Jian Chen had not considered controlling anyone, but he still had to take the precautions necessary because it had to do with the sovereign god artifact.

The Jade Heaven Ruler began selecting people throughout the entire Wood Spirits World as soon as she returned, while Jian Chen remained in the Peace region to heal his soul.

There were no absolute secrets in the world. The news that the Peace Ruler wanted to nurture rulers ended up breaking out and spreading through the upper echelons of the Wood Spirits World.

"Sir, I heard you were thinking of nurturing new rulers?" On this day, the Ceremonial Bell appeared before Jian Chen and asked politely with his head lowered.

Jian Chen opened his eyes. He glanced past the Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King coldly and indifferently. "That's right!"

The Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King's eyes immediately burned with fervency. He lowered his head even further, almost to the point where he was grovelling. "Sir, I'm willing to devote myself to you till my dying breath, such that I will obey your every instruction, only in hopes that you could give me this opportunity."

"You're not an appropriate choice. Go and handle what you need to deal with," Jian Chen said indifferently.

The Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King panicked inside. He refused to accept this and said in a hurry, "Sir, I've been serving you and the Peace region diligently and sincerely for all these years. Forgive my ignorance, but I am unable to understand which part of me doesn't satisfy the ruler. Please enlighten me, sir."

"You've done very well over the years. You haven't disappointed me, but I won't nurture you," said Jian Chen.

"Sir, may I ask why?" The Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King felt resentful. The realm of rulers was one that all Infinite Primes dreamt of.

Now that an opportunity to become a ruler finally appeared, only for him to lose out on it, he found it extremely difficult to accept.

"How dare you!" Jian Chen's face sank. A tremendous presence suddenly erupted, immediately weighing down on the Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King like a mountain.

The Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King felt his body sink. He dropped down to his knees uncontrollably as his knee caps shattered.

Moreover, a force formed from the Laws of Space restrained him firmly, such that he could not even move a finger.

"H-how is this possible? In just two short centuries, the Peace Ruler has already grown so powerful!" The Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King was shocked inside.
