Heaven Slaying Blade
Chapter 1961 - 1944: Two Suffering Children
In the 24,000th year of the Pangu calendar, many years had passed since the Divine Beast Clan joined this world. Over these years, several events, big and small, had occurred, but generally speaking, there hadn't been significant transformations.
In fact, according to the habits of the Divine Realm, epochs are calculated as epoch cycles, each lasting over 120,000 years. Therefore, a few thousand years have hardly any significant meaning to the beings of the Divine Realm.
Thus, during these few thousand years, the Divine Realm hadn't organized any noteworthy attacks. There were only a few small-scale probes, mostly intended to gauge the defensive strength of the lower realm.
Over the years, the Five Great Heavens also got accustomed to some patterns of the Divine Realm, transitioning from initial tension to excitement after the battle involving Chu Mo, and now, everyone had somewhat grown accustomed to it.
It's all just battles, and the opponents are merely a bit stronger. But it hasn't reached an unbeatable level! These battles might initially feel unfamiliar, causing bloodshed and sacrifice, but over time, they have become hardly unsettling.
After all, this world has the Six Paths of Reincarnation!
This is the foundation of everything!
As long as the Six Paths of Reincarnation exist and the merit system is in place, even dying in battle means dying for this world. Upon death, entering the Six Paths of Reincarnation, one mostly reincarnates into the Human Clan. Based on many tracking records of the Heavenly Court, almost all the warriors who died reincarnated with considerable qi movement!
They all belonged to those with extraordinary talent, even if they forgot the memories of their previous life, they stood out in this life and, in a few years, could cultivate into a top-tier powerful cultivator!
At this time, countless friends and relatives from his previous life would help him retrieve those lost memories. This isn't considered cheating, totally different from the top cultivators control over a portion of reincarnation abilities before the opening of the Six Paths of Reincarnation!
Although the final result seems similar, the process is completely different.
Simply put, the former process was cheating and acting against the Heavenly Dao. It's like losing one's merit by defying Heaven's Will. But now, it's a rational use of rules. And it's in compliance with Heaven's Will!
What is Heaven's Will?
Simply put, it's the collective will of the Five Great Heavens!
Now, someone intends to destroy the world of the Five Great Heavens, so naturally, the will of the Five Great Heavens disagrees. Of course, it resists! Then, through this process, every being that dies protecting the world of the Five Great Heavens carries Immeasurable merit!
The heavens have spirit!
The heavens have eyes!
Under such circumstances, the top cultivators in the entire world of the Five Great Heavens have no worries at all, and their fighting intensity is astonishing!
Therefore, over the years, the Divine Realm stopped harassing after conducting several small-scale probes.
Now, it has been a thousand Pangu years without a large number of divine spirits invading.
However, small-scale invasions of divine spirits are vast and uncountable. Most are swiftly located and eliminated by the guards through the rune network surveillance.
Yet, a small portion showed sincerity similar to that of the Beast Clan in the past, expressing their willingness to join the world of the Five Great Heavens.
For these, they are mostly forced to swear deadly oaths and then monitored. According to the Three Great Familes, they should be imprisoned for at least ten to twenty thousand years or directly stay on the peak of the sky here to confront those malicious divine spirits invading.
Chu Mo supports the reserved attitude of the Three Great Families in this aspect. Because in Chu Mo's view, the Divine Realm may not lack beings akin to Nie Lang and his group of the Beast Clan, tired of the weary and broken Divine Realm and truly awakened to the harm the Divine Realm inflicted on the lower realm, thus wanting to enter the lower realm and completely leave the Divine Realm.
Of course, Chu Mo also supports a period of observation of those groups. Because no one can guarantee their true intentions, even if they swear the heaviest oaths, it might not be reliable!
Because nobody knows whether those divine spirits invading are similar to the ancient four elders whose memories were completely sealed?
Regarding these, Chu Mo's overall attitude is not to involve himself much. He doesn't have much interest in dealing with these matters. Because over the years, the Three Great Families of the Human Clan in the Divine Realm have been sending people to communicate with him.
Now, it was already the sixth time!
Chu Mo didn't know how many times he refused their proposals, yet they seemed not to grasp Chu Mo's intentions at all. They come again and again, each time upping the stakes. From the initial 1.5 million crystals to now, it has risen to 5.5 million crystals.
This number is shockingly substantial to Chu Mo. It is an incredible fortune!
Because later, Chu Mo learned that the batch of crystals initially given to him by Nie Lang already represented the entire wealth that specific group of the Beast Clan could muster!
Three million!
It's all the wealth accumulated by this group of the Beast Clan over the years!
Realizing this, Chu Mo was quite shocked and deeply moved. At that time, to carry out the Array Formation, he had already spent two million. He immediately sent people to return the remaining one million crystals to Nie Lang and his group. Because after settling on the Heavenly Palace continent, Nie Lang's group didn't even have money for basic construction!
It can be said that a massive amount of resources were supported by the Five Great Heavens this time.
Because of this, that group of Beast Clan quickly merged into the world of the Five Great Heavens.
Over the years, several shining stars have also emerged within the Beast Clan.
Of course, within the Beast Clan, warriors are the most abundant specialty. Now, a large number of Beast Clan warriors have been directly incorporated into the Heavenly Court army. Their performance has been outstanding, bringing considerable pressure to those beings from the original Five Great Heavens.
Under this positive competition, the combat strength of the Heavenly Court army is also gradually improving.
So, it can be said that the sincerity from the Three Great Families of the Human Clan is more than enough. It's simply overwhelming!
Chen Fan and Lan Xiao, over the years, have visited the lower realms many times. In the end, they became well acquainted with many in the Heavenly Court. When they met again, the people in the Heavenly Court no longer held strong hostility. Some even greeted them with smiles.
This is because it's well-known that these two unfortunate young divine beings are actually the servants of Chu Mo. It's just that Chu Mo doesn't want to keep them by his side, hence they have become emissaries between the Three Great Families of the Human Clan and the Heavenly Court, running back and forth.
Moreover, they are not decision-makers, nor are they the ones structuring the divine realm. Under Chu Mo's guidance, the entire world has now developed particularly positive customs and habits. This world emphasizes that grudges have sources, debts have masters, and they do not harm others without reason, but neither do they fear any provocations.
In the 24,101st year of Pangu's calendar, Chen Fan and Lan Xiao came to the Heavenly Court for the seventh time.
On the way, they encountered a monkey.
The monkey glanced at them sideways.
Upon seeing the monkey, the two hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Junior Chen Fan, Lan Xiao... pay respects to Elder Monkey."
Indeed, these two divine beings are so humble…
Because they have no choice but to be humble!
The lower realm is not a soft target in the eyes of the divine beings, nor is it a bunch of ants. Instead, it is a group of genuine wolves, tigers, and leopards, ferociously deadly. Moreover, the barefoot are not afraid of the well-shod, willing to exchange a billion cultivators for the life of a single divine being without hesitation.
Moreover, against divine beings from the divine realm, it's not a billion to one ratio anymore, but almost a million to one!
Although the lower realm suffers heavy losses each time, seeing their ecstatic expressions after killing a divine being makes all the Divine Clan feel a chill in their hearts.
The beings from the lower realm... are a bunch of lunatics!
This has become the only opinion among the divine beings about the lower realm nowadays.
They're no longer considered filthy, defiled, or lowly beings.
The monkey grinned and said to the two, "So, your family's ancestor sent you two as lobbyists again?"
The two nodded awkwardly, "Yes, we didn't want to come either…"
"What? Do you find the lower realm dirty?" The monkey glanced at them sideways, with a face that indicated whether he was teasing them or being serious.
Lan Xiao and Chen Fan both looked as if they were about to cry. They originally thought this would be a good deal, but later they realized it was simply a job sandwiched with discontent!
Among the Three Great Families of the Human Clan, they were labeled as ineffective agents because they couldn't finalize anything after so many trips, not making any progress at all! What else could it be if not incompetence? In the lower realm Heavenly Court, not many people made things difficult for them. However, every time they came and were teased by Heavenly Court bigwigs like the monkey, it was considered a minor thing. What made the two feel most troubled was having to come, each time knowing in advance they would return empty-handed.
"No, no, Elder Monkey, we don't mind this place. How about you speak to our master for us… just leave us here this time and don't let us go back." Chen Fan said with a bitter expression.
Lan Xiao nodded vigorously beside him.
These two were absolutely serious, with no hint of pretense at all.
They've had enough of this kind of life.
Over at the Three Great Families of the Human Clan, there has been significant internal controversy over the years.
Senior Elder Lan finally awaited the return of the heads of the Three Great Families, and as expected, received their support. But what really took the bigwigs by surprise was the strong backlash within the Three Great Families this time!
The waves of opposition were relentless. Although the heads of the Three Great Families and Senior Elder Lan could temporarily suppress it, over time, as the day when the divine realm completely collapses draws nearer, it is very likely that intense internal conflict will erupt.
By then, even absolute leaders like the heads of the Three Great Families and Senior Elder Lan may not be able to fully suppress it!
Although no one from within the Three Great Families has assassinated Chen Fan and Lan Xiao yet, who could say for sure in the future? Furthermore, if the heads of the Three Great Families and Senior Elder Lan can't hold on, then they are bound to be unfortunate as well.
Therefore, both Chen Fan and Lan Xiao genuinely hope that Chu Mo will directly order to keep them here!
That way, they can stay logically and without worrying about reproach from their clan.
