Chapter 112: Tycoon’s Daughter (20)

The Battle of the Gods marked the birth of the Main God.

In that battle, many gods fell, and new gods were born in the Upper Realm to take the place of those who had perished.

These newly born Upper Gods would first travel to the old site of the Battle of the Gods to seek a golden light, which would guide them to their domains.

Although the Upper Gods were still somewhat reluctant in their hearts, they could not deny that the golden light was indeed the strongest in the God Realm. The newly born Upper Gods respectfully addressed the golden light as the Main God, signifying the god who presided over all.

Over time, the Upper Gods tacitly acknowledged the plains of the Battle of the Gods as the Main God's domain. The Main God would not intervene in minor frictions between the gods, but if a major war erupted, all deities in the war zone would be annihilated by the Main God's immense power. Such wars only occurred two or three times. After five or six unlucky gods were reduced to dust one after another, the gods finally realized the gravity of the situation, and the Main God's position was firmly established in the God Realm.

Later, the Upper Gods discovered that one after another, passages to the God Realm were being opened. Beings of varying strength were teleported through these passages and began to carve out territories for themselves. Only then did they realize that, at some unknown point, the God Realm had become connected to countless thousands of different small worlds.

The Upper Gods, after all, were born from the purest celestial energy of the God Realm. They quickly figured out the communication methods of these new beings and learned that they were "great powers" who had "ascended" from lower planes.

These so-called great powers, fresh from their ascension, were incredibly arrogant and soon threw the God Realm into chaos. The gods initially paid these ants no mind, but watching the ants carve out kingdoms in their territories and turn their domains into a foul mess, the gods could not help but take action.

However, the life forms that had just ascended to the God Realm were apparently protected by a mysterious force. The gods could only severely injure these ants but not kill them, leaving them seething with frustration. It was only after tracing the source that the gods discovered it was the Main God protecting these ants.

Unable to use their divine power against them, the gods, for the sake of their own domains, had no choice but to go to the Main God's territory day after day to plead their case. The Main God, as the most powerful god in the God Realm, surprisingly could not withstand the gods' relentless harassment and had to step in to arrange for the new residents who had ascended from the lower worlds.

The Main God, modeling after the most powerful and flourishing of the lower worlds, assigned the ascended life forms to the domains of different gods according to their race. It also dispatched the most outstanding life forms to the various major lower worlds to oversee the operation of that world's rules.

Because there were numerous lower worlds, the Main God further divided them into different planes. The God Realm where the Main God resided was the highest plane, and later gods came to call it the Upper God Realm.

As mentioned before, each world's Heavenly Dao could only stay in the Upper Realm once. For the rest of its existence, it had to manage the small world it was assigned to until that world perished. As long as a Heavenly Dao did not do anything world-destroying, its independently operating small world could exist forever.

The Heavenly Dao of Chi Junluo and Yi Shuhan's original world was supposed to protect its Child of Destiny until the Child of Destiny lived out their life smoothly, whether through reincarnation or ascension. Before that, the Heavenly Dao was not allowed to leave.

However, by a sheer coincidence, something happened to the Upper Gods, and the entire Upper Realm was thrown into turmoil. The Heavenly Daos of all worlds received a cryptic message and, one by one, dropped what they were doing to rush back to the Upper God Realm.

The turmoil in the Upper Realm was ceaseless. The domains of the gods were attacked by divine power from an unknown source, and many of the life forms within the domains of the Upper Gods suffered fatal blows.

The gods had grown accustomed to increasing their divine power through the faith of the life forms in their domains. This sudden attack, which wiped out most of those life forms, was a blatant slap to their faces as deities!

The gods originally wanted to find the source of the attack, but some Upper Gods, who had been biding their time, could not resist secretly striking at other deities to seize their divine personas. When they discovered that the Main God did not intervene, the God Realm descended into complete chaos. With the addition of the Heavenly Daos from every world rushing back after receiving the divine message, the God Realm became incredibly crowded for a time.

Because there were signs of another Battle of the Gods brewing, some Heavenly Daos were detained by the Upper Gods as soon as they arrived and were conscripted as combat power into the armies of various deities.

The Heavenly Daos were life forms of exceptional talent to have been granted stewardship over a small world. Now, being detained by the Upper Gods, they were treated as military commanders.

As for the Heavenly Dao of Chi Junluo's original world, it was on its way to the Upper Realm when it sensed that the Child of Destiny in the world it controlled had been killed. It hastily rushed back, never reaching the Upper Realm, and thus escaped the fate of becoming cannon fodder in the war between the Upper Gods.

The Heavenly Dao of Chi Junluo's original world had once managed three small worlds. The first two had vanished for reasons of its own making. The Main God, considering it was one of the first batch of dispatched Heavenly Dao life forms and the most powerful among them, gave it a chance to redeem itself. It was given a new, recently born small world. Not long after taking up its post, this mess occurred. First, the Upper Gods fell into chaos, and then, before it could even reach the Upper Realm to figure out what was happening, the heroine of its world died.

The Heavenly Dao: My life is so hard!

After finally taking the culprit into several worlds and collecting a great deal of the Power of the Heavenly Dao, it witnessed a shocking scene involving this culprit. It felt it was necessary to make another trip to the Upper Realm to find out what exactly had happened.

As an elder-level Heavenly Dao from the first batch, the Heavenly Dao of Chi Junluo's original world had its own ancient title—"E Feng." Every Heavenly Dao with an ancient title was highly respected in the circles of the myriad worlds. This was because as more Heavenly Daos were dispatched later, their quality became uneven. Coupled with the various schemes employed by the family-like factions under each Upper God to secure the few available Heavenly Dao positions, the abilities of the later Heavenly Daos simply couldn't compare to the elders.

But the Heavenly Dao E Feng was an exception. Because it had ruined three small worlds and had been punished by the Main God, it was subtly ostracized in Heavenly Dao circles, even though the Main God had eventually let the matter go on account of its elder status.

The elder-level Heavenly Daos gradually distanced themselves from it, even giving it a nickname: Jia.

All the Heavenly Daos knew that names like Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding were used for juniors. E Feng was thus kicked out of the elder circle and treated as a junior, which was naturally a humiliation. Because of its unique situation, the later, numerically designated junior Heavenly Daos also looked down on it, showing no respect. Fortunately, E Feng, having experienced so much, had long since learned to hide all its emotions. Therefore, in the eyes of other Heavenly Daos, E Feng was the perfect example of someone who was thick-skinned and shameless. Sometimes, even E Feng itself felt that it had probably become just that—a shameless, persistent entity.

This time, after the Heavenly Dao E Feng went to the fifth world with Chi Junluo, it sensed Chi Junluo's special nature. After ensuring the safety of Chi Junluo and Yi Shuhan, it immediately headed for the Upper Realm. If it didn't find out what was going on, it wouldn't know how to proceed with its plans.

Before going to the Upper Realm, E Feng habitually contacted a few elder-level Heavenly Daos. In the past, although it was ostracized and ridiculed, there were always a few who would reply, such as the Heavenly Daos Rouzhao, Zhaoyang, and Tuwei.

But this time was strange. The messages it sent out were like stones sinking into the sea. Most of the numerically designated Heavenly Daos didn't reply either. Only a few very young Heavenly Daos received the message, but none of them responded. The only reply it got was one telling it to hide and not go to the Upper Realm.

E Feng was certainly not a coward. It had a vague guess as to what had happened. Now it had to go and confirm it, and make plans for the journey ahead.

It placed the Heavenly Dao identity token engraved with the words "E Feng," which the Main God had made for it, in Chi Junluo's sea of consciousness. Combined with the fact that all the elder-level Heavenly Daos had mysteriously disappeared, it had a premonition that if it brought this token with it, it might never return.

As it rushed nonstop to the nearest ascension channel, the sight of heavily armed guards and a spirit stone array unique to the Upper Realm made it let out a sigh of relief. Thankfully, it hadn't brought the identity token. The token was forged from Upper Realm Profound Stone, which contained immense Upper Realm spiritual energy. If it had carried the token through this spirit stone array, the spiritual energy would have emitted a blinding light, even if hidden in a different dimension. The most inconspicuous method was to get rid of all items containing a large amount of Upper Realm spiritual energy.

E Feng had spent a long time in its three small worlds and knew nothing about the Upper Realm, making it impossible to pose as someone from there. It hid at the back of the line, observing secretly.

That's right, this ascension channel actually had a long queue. E Feng felt something was wrong. Since when had ascension become so easy?

It listened carefully to the conversations around it and vaguely heard words like "Upper God," "newly born Upper God," and "recruiting soldiers and buying horses."

All of E Feng's Power of the Heavenly Dao was stored in Chi Junluo's body. Since the other Heavenly Daos had run into trouble, it couldn't recklessly expose its identity.

Following the line, the Heavenly Dao slowly moved forward. When it was its turn to pass through the spirit stone array, a gentle white light emanated from its body. The soldier in charge of monitoring the array rubbed his eyes, confirmed he wasn't mistaken, and hurriedly walked over. Adopting a very humble posture, he bowed and asked, "May I ask if Your Excellency is an Upper God?"

E Feng frowned slightly, thinking, Can one be called an Upper God in the God Realm now with just this little divine power? Elder-level Heavenly Daos, due to their long existence and their own worlds, could convert the faith of an entire world into divine power, albeit a very small amount. However, in the Upper Realm, some Heavenly Daos were indeed referred to as demigods.

Before E Feng could come up with an excuse to avoid excessive questioning, a man who looked like an officer walked over from behind the soldier. The officer saw E Feng's frown and the gentle white light around it, and simply assumed it was a newly born Upper God who had run off to the lower worlds to play. The officer pushed the soldier behind him, bowed, and respectfully escorted a bewildered E Feng through the spirit stone array.

When it set foot in the God Realm again, even the well-traveled E Feng was shocked. In less than a thousand years, the entire God Realm looked as if it had been trampled by giant iron hooves. Any place that showed signs of battle had been left in a state of utter chaos.

The Heavenly Dao E Feng sped towards the plains of the Battle of the Gods, where the Main God resided.

The soldier in charge of the spirit stone array behind it was still a little puzzled. Before coming to the God Realm, he had been a diligent cultivator. He remembered his mother teaching him a phrase: "If you don't understand something, you must ask until you do." Because he often asked his teachers questions, he excelled in all aspects and eventually succeeded in ascending, becoming the pride of his mother's life.

Now, he put his specialty to use: ask when you don't understand.

The soldier gave the officer a deep bow and asked, "Immortal Chief, haven't all the gods born in recent years been brought under control by the Upper Gods as soon as they're born? How could one still go to the lower worlds?"

The officer had also been intimidated by that god's divine power just now and hadn't thought too much about it. He looked in the direction E Feng had disappeared and nodded. "This Immortal Chief was thinking the same thing. I will order someone to investigate who is pulling the wool over our eyes!"

He patted the soldier's shoulder. "A soldier who loves to ask questions is a good soldier. In the future, if there's anything you don't understand, ask more questions."
