#945 - The Kingdom of God

After many years, Jun Wuxie came to this city again.

The events of that year were still vivid in his mind.

It was right here, in front of the city gate, that he, with a lower realm,逆伐 (cannot be translated literally but means challenged and defeated) two Saint Sect Realm experts.

The Saint Sect was incredibly weak to him now, but back then, it was terrifyingly strong.

The city in front of him was still the same, filled with gloomy and eerie energy.

He stepped forward and entered the city.

The streets were lined with densely packed, dilapidated coffins. The moment he arrived on this street, all the coffins began to shake.

Bang!

The lids of the coffins were blown off, and a large number of evil corpses surged out, rushing towards him like a tide.

Jun Wuxie ignored them. Golden blood energy flowed, and he strode towards the depths of the city.

Before those evil corpses could even reach him, they were blasted away from dozens of meters away.

When he arrived at the city's central plaza, a deep roar shook the buildings of the entire city violently.

In an instant, all the evil corpses rushing from all directions stopped in their tracks.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

......

The sound of the earth rumbling echoed from the distant streets.

It was a figure hundreds of feet tall, covered in scarlet hair, with blood-red eyes full of violence and bloodlust.

He strode forward, his hands, hanging down to his waist, had sharp claws several meters long, gleaming with a cold, dark light.

As the scarlet-haired demon approached, an evil and eerie aura swept over him like a tide, stirring up terrifying winds, causing the doors and windows of the buildings on both sides of the street to bang loudly.

Roar!

The scarlet-haired demon stepped on the plaza, and the earth shook!

When he roared, he revealed sharp, white fangs, waving his long arms, the sharp, dark claws tearing through the void, grabbing over.

Jun Wuxie's eyes were calm. A golden blood energy shield rose from his body, neither dodging nor evading.

Clang!

The sharp claws collided with the golden blood energy shield, bursting out with harsh metallic sounds, sparks flying everywhere.

The scarlet-haired demon's claws were almost snapped off, and his palm was immediately bounced back.

Almost at the same time, Jun Wuxie's golden palm slammed forward, the large handprint condensed from blood energy hitting the scarlet-haired demon.

The scarlet-haired demon howled, and its hundred-foot body flew out like a scarlet meteor, drawing a long parabola in the air, directly blasted from the center of the city to the edge of the city, crashing onto the street with a boom, causing the ground of the entire city to shake violently, dust soaring into the sky.

"Roar!"

The scarlet-haired demon scrambled up, incomparably violent, and instantly rushed back to the plaza area, launching an attack on Jun Wuxie.

It was still that golden palm, slapping it away with one palm.

This time, the power of the palm was even greater than before, causing cracks to spread all over the scarlet-haired demon's body in the air, bones broken and tendons fractured, both arms directly dislocated, and both legs broken. It fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time.

He did not kill it.

The demons and evils in this city had not been cleared, presumably there was a reason for it, otherwise the people of the Burial Clan would have cleaned it up long ago.

Therefore, he did not kill it, leaving the scarlet-haired demon alive.

"Young friend, after so many years, you have grown to this point."

A figure appeared in front of him, it was the patriarch of the Burial Clan.

"Senior, hope you have been well."

Jun Wuxie greeted with a smile.

"Old man knows about the young friend's affairs in the outside world. It's been tough, truly sigh-worthy."

The Burial Clan patriarch sized him up, his expression very emotional.

As expected of the successor chosen by the Lord, truly capable of turning the tide. In such an end-of-days situation, he actually supported the starry sky of the Lower Realm, not only repelling the Darkness Invasion, but also killing all the experts of the Dark Universe Small Realm, and killing the Dark Emperor.

"Seeing senior again feels like another lifetime..."

Jun Wuxie was also very moved. He was a person who had died once. Now, seeing an old friend from several years ago, his heart was filled with indescribable feelings.

"Yes, in these few short years, you have experienced the most terrifying Dark Turmoil in the history of the Lower Realm, experienced death, reborn from death, broken and then established, and now comprehending the Dao of Life and Death, cultivating the Death Pupil Killing Technique, it can be said to be a legendary life."

"Senior, please don't praise me. The storms and waves you have experienced are far beyond what this junior can imagine. If we're talking about hardship, if we're talking about difficulty, this junior is far from being able to compare with you. I have only done my part for this era, while you have been working hard for the Righteous Clear Heavens for a long time."

"No, what you will do in the future will be more than what we have done. You will be one of the protagonists of the Heavens in the future. Some things are destined, this is the mission that you and I have to fulfill, it is the mission of every ambitious person. In the future, our abilities will be limited, and people like you will have to support an era, support the sky of the future."

"..." Jun Wuxie's mouth twitched slightly, "Senior, what you're saying is too illusory. The future you speak of is too distant. There will be countless variables in those years. All I can do is take each step firmly. If I can really stand at that height in the future, responsibility and mission will naturally be incumbent upon me; if I fall, then everything for me will only be a dream bubble, a passing cloud, and all ideals and ambitions will ultimately be empty."

"You will not fall!" The Burial Clan patriarch looked at him very seriously and solemnly, "I believe in you, nothing can make you fall! Was the Dark Turmoil of the Lower Realm terrifying? For the people of the Lower Realm, it was a hopeless situation, but in the end, you defended the Lower Realm, established immeasurable merit, and all living beings regard you as the only God of Salvation in their hearts, giving you the power of sentient beings, allowing you to cultivate the prototype of the Divine Kingdom before the Saint Realm, this kind of thing has never happened before!"

"Prototype of the Divine Kingdom?"

Jun Wuxie realized that what the Burial Clan patriarch was talking about should be the sentient beings evolved on the stars in his Cave Heaven Star Sea, and immediately asked, "What is a Divine Kingdom?"

"Divine Kingdom, fully named Universe Divine Kingdom, as the name suggests, is the Divine Kingdom based on the universe. If cultivators at the peak of the Divine Realm want to continue to break through, they need to open up a Universe Divine Kingdom in their bodies. And the best way to open up a Divine Kingdom is to obtain the faith of sentient beings, with the sentient beings of faith as the image, and the power of sentient beings as the foundation, to derive a Universe Divine Kingdom in the body, and achieve a legendary realm. The deeper the faith of sentient beings, the higher the level of the derived Divine Kingdom, and the higher the success rate of breaking through the realm."

"I see..."

Jun Wuxie understood what a Divine Kingdom was and what its role was, it was actually used to break through the realm.

What realm is the peak of the Divine Realm?

This time, when he was reborn from death, he recovered many memories of the Divine Ancient World, including the cultivation system of the Divine Realm.

The peak of the Divine Realm, that is the Eternal Divine Realm. In the Divine Ancient World, they are truly invincible experts above and below the heavens.

The Eternal Divine Realm is the realm of the system changed after the Immortal Ancient Era. In the Immortal Ancient Era, this realm was called the Primordial Immortal Realm.

"Senior, does that mean that the Legendary Realm is cultivating a Universe Divine Kingdom in the body, and the more Universe Divine Kingdoms there are, the stronger the cultivator is?"

"That's right, that's how it is."

"If that's the case, do I need to constantly find other universes and let the sentient beings of those universes believe in me in order to improve my realm?"

"No, that's not necessary."

The Burial Clan patriarch indicated that breaking through that realm does not necessarily require the faith of sentient beings. It's just that with the faith of sentient beings, it will be relatively easier to break through the shackles by opening up a Divine Kingdom based on this.

Without the faith of sentient beings, one can still open up a Divine Kingdom, but lacking the power of sentient beings, it will be relatively difficult to expand the Divine Kingdom in the future, and the upper limit of expansion is not comparable to those based on the faith of sentient beings.

"The Divine Kingdom at the time of breaking through the Legendary Realm is the foundation. The cultivation in the future is to expand and derive new Universe Divine Kingdoms on this foundation. Judging from your current trend, your Divine Kingdom foundation will be very strong in the future. If the number of living beings in the Lower Realm can be greatly increased and they all believe in you, then the benefits you will get in the future are unimaginable."

"Understood..."

"It is not easy to obtain the faith of sentient beings. Although some experts can use their own will to influence one or even many universes of sentient beings to believe in themselves, that only exists above the Emperor Realm. Below the Emperor Realm, forcibly making sentient beings believe in themselves through such means will suffer karmic backlash when breaking through the realm. This is the karma planted by the person who opened up the system back then. Therefore, this kind of thing cannot be forced, it can only be that sentient beings believe in you from the bottom of their hearts, willingly. It is not difficult to make some people believe, but it is very difficult to make the people of the entire universe believe. So it is already a miracle that you can obtain the faith of the sentient beings in the Lower Realm."

"Putting yourself in their shoes, all sentient beings are flesh and blood, how you treat them, they will treat you, I always believe that planting good causes yields good results. Of course, sentient beings are as numerous as the sands of the Ganges River, so there will naturally be some who repay kindness with hatred, and those who are extremely evil. Treat those people, kill them quickly, it is also to eliminate harm for the people and seek blessings for sentient beings."

"That's true, but as cultivators improve their realm and increase their own strength, their mentality will gradually change. How many people in this world can still have compassion for sentient beings after they become strong? There are very few such people, so many experts want to gain the faith of sentient beings and bestow kindness on sentient beings, but it is not from the bottom of their hearts. Some sober people feel it in their hearts, so they will not become their believers, at least not so devout."

"No matter how strong you become, you always cultivate step by step from mortals. It is most important to maintain your original intention. If you gradually lose the emotions that humans should have because you are strong, then you cannot be called a human."

Jun Wuxie would never forget the tragic scene when the Great Zhou was invaded by Xilin, the lives that were devastated by the flames of war, the border troops and Xuanjia troops who vowed to fight the Xilin army to the last man, those thin teenagers who could not even wear armor, resolutely climbed the city walls, holding spears, and pounced on the invaders, and those civilians who sent their last children to the battlefield…

He had seen too much human tragedy, and those scenes had long been deeply imprinted in his heart.

He himself had experienced an unfortunate life and could empathize with the suffering of all beings.

When he was capable, he was happy to help, rather than watching indifferently, which he couldn't bear.

Facts have proved that this state of mind has brought him huge rewards.

All living beings pulled him back from the abyss of death, allowing his strength to be improved, and also cultivated a prototype of the kingdom of God in his body, laying a solid foundation for breaking through the shackles in the future.

"You are right, in this respect, you seem to be doing better than the master…"

"Senior, you are comparing me with your master, aren't you afraid that he will be angry?"

The patriarch of the Burial Clan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "The master has a broad mind and will not care about these things. Besides, you are the person he has chosen."

Jun Wuxie raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Is the master you are talking about surnamed Ye? The strongest invincible existence in the Immortal Ancient period?"

"It seems that you have already guessed it, after all, the princess has a close relationship with you…"

"So it really is him…" Jun Wuxie was just guessing, but he didn't expect it to be true, "In that case, your Burial Clan used to be his subordinates?"

"That's right, we were not originally the Burial Clan, but the veterans under the master's command. That era was too dark, too many people died, one fresh face after another, one day we were still drinking and having fun together, and the next moment we were buried in the darkness. We cultivated the Burial Art in order to live in another way, burying ourselves, breaking and then establishing ourselves, and going to fight again in the future…"

"Junior has a question, a few years ago, I went to your Burial Clan's village and saw corpses falling from the sky, what's going on?"

"That was the method I arranged back then. The corpses you saw were all the soldiers who died in the Immortal Ancient War. I received them here to be reborn with the Burial Art."

Jun Wuxie was stunned and said, "The soldiers who died in the Immortal Ancient period, why are they only being received now?"

"Heh."

The patriarch of the Burial Clan suddenly smiled and said, "You think it's across the years of several epochs, but in fact they have just died in battle. Emperor Realm experts can travel through the past and future time and space, and naturally they can also let others travel through the past and future. You will understand when you reach the Emperor Realm in the future."

"…"

Jun Wuxie stood there in a daze.

This method is really shocking!

Emperor Realm experts are too terrifying, aren't they?

They can travel through past and future time and space themselves, and can also receive people into the past and future?

In other words, after some people who guarded the heavens in the Immortal Ancient period died in battle, they were directly sent to the future by the means arranged by this person!

That is to say, the corpses he saw all came directly from the Immortal Ancient period through the long river of time and space!

"Don't be too surprised, there are many great realms in the Emperor Realm. Emperor-level experts like me are not enough to look at in front of the Heavenly Emperor."

Jun Wuxie was speechless for a while.

Are Emperor-level experts so humble?

He is now not to mention Emperor-level, even the distance to the God Realm is separated by endless distance.

The road ahead is long and arduous.

Thinking back to the past in the Divine Ancient Continent, he broke through the shackles at the age of twenty and stepped into the Supreme God Realm.

After rebuilding, at the age of twenty, he is still only a half-saint pinnacle…

However, the starting point is different.

He is special, he started practicing in his mother's womb.

He belongs to the kind of person who is born with wisdom, and under the special means of his mother, he was born a demigod.

In that world, there were many such people, some descendants of the Supreme God Realm experts, who were born with very high realms, and even some descendants of the Ancestral Gods were like this.

But he found that some experts did not seem to choose this way, such as the Dragon Lord, whose daughter Long Xi, he chose to let her start practicing from the lowest realm.

Rebuilding, although it requires slowly cultivating from the lowest realm, the growth intensity is far from comparable to that of the past.

At that time, he became a God Realm Supreme, but only a ten-square myth, and in this life, he believes that he can reach a ten-square myth in the Saint Realm, which is still the most conservative estimate.

"Senior, I won't talk to you about realms anymore, if I continue to talk, I won't have the motivation to cultivate."

Jun Wuxie joked, the road of cultivation is too long, he is only standing at the starting point now, and he can't think too far, otherwise it is easy to get lost.

"Okay, be careful when you go to the Netherworld, try not to step into some secret lands of the Underworld World."

The patriarch of the Burial Clan sent him to the vortex passage in front of the dim green light mist.

"Thank you for the reminder, Senior."

Jun Wuxie thanked him, turned and walked into the hazy green light, his figure gradually disappearing into the green vortex.

"No, I still have to watch, in case he breaks the sky inside, and those dormant old ghosts take action regardless of their status, the consequences will be unimaginable."

The patriarch of the Burial Clan muttered to himself, walked a distance, and quietly guarded the depths of the vortex passage.

At this time, a figure quietly appeared in front of the Underworld passage.

The patriarch of the Burial Clan turned around, with a strange look on his face, and said: "Why are you here?"

"I'm worried, so I came to guard."

"Are you afraid that I can't handle it?"

Tian Jianyi raised his eyebrows and said: "If those old ghosts inside take action together, you are separated by the world, I'm afraid you really can't protect him."

"That's right, after all, it's not good for me to cross the border, otherwise those old ghosts will wake up directly."

The patriarch of the Burial Clan looked at Tian Jianyi with a smile and said: "You have been with your娇妻 these years, the gentle乡 has made you unable to extricate yourself, right?"

"It seems that you are in a good mood, and you have the mind to joke with me?"

"The master's successor has such a performance, I am naturally in a good mood, there is hope for the future…"

"Yes, there is hope for the future…"

Tian Jianyi sighed, stood side by side with the patriarch of the Burial Clan, quietly watching the end of the Netherworld passage, and said nothing more.
