The Sword God of the Universe

Senior Brother Shan Hai also knew of Gui Zhen God Lord, aware of Gui Zhen's extremely violent and brutal nature.

Yet this person was also very cunning and deceitful. He would readily eliminate those Void Gods and True God Warriors, but he wouldn't provoke those whose strength was similar to his or had significant backing.

So in the Seventh Divine Domain, although many people deeply hated Gui Zhen, he continued to live well. Those who hated him and wanted to kill him were far less powerful than him. And those more powerful than him, he didn't offend, so those first-class and super first-class God Lords turned a blind eye, as after all, hunting down Gui Zhen, a second-tier God Master, would also require some effort.

Shan Hai held disdain towards Gui Zhen's character. If he saw him, he might toughen him up a bit, but he wouldn't go so far as to personally hunt him down.

Who could have thought that this Gui Zhen God Lord, famously mighty in the Seventh Divine Domain, would actually die at the hands of Jing Yan. Upon receiving the news, it took him a good moment to react.

"I must immediately inform Master of this news." Senior Brother Shan Hai, using a special communication method, sought an audience with Master Zhan Yue God Emperor.

Soon, he appeared in the golden great hall of Zhan Yue God Emperor.

"Jing Yan broke through?" A trace of astonishment appeared on the stunning visage of Zhan Yue God Emperor.

To be honest, she hadn't expected Jing Yan to become a God Lord so swiftly.

Several hundred years ago, Jing Yan sought her, inquiring about the Land of Descent's situation. She tried to dissuade him, but Jing Yan was determined, so Zhan Yue God Emperor couldn't forcefully stop him, allowing Jing Yan to proceed.

Unexpectedly, Jing Yan obtained a heaven-sent opportunity in the Land of Descent, using it to reach the God Lord level in just a few hundred years, achieving a level where he could easily slay a second-tier God Master.

"Your eighth junior brother has immense fortune, being favored by the Heavenly Dao. Perhaps, he might indeed take that step to become a Heavenly Venerate," Zhan Yue God Emperor said in an ethereal voice.

"Become a Heavenly Venerate?" A flicker of shock flashed in Shan Hai's eyes.

At his level, he naturally knew what becoming a Heavenly Venerate signified.

Heavenly Venerate!

Which God Lord doesn't dream of becoming a Heavenly Venerate?

But to take that step…

The most powerful in the Seventh Divine Domain, Zhan Yue God Emperor, couldn't take that step to achieve the supreme position of Heavenly Venerate. It's evident how challenging taking that step is.

Heavenly Venerate… is the supreme existence that can perceive the Heavenly Dao.

"Master, should Junior Brother Jing Yan be summoned back to Star Moon Valley? With his qualifications, now being a first-class God Lord, it shouldn't be long before he reaches the super first-class God Lord level. Having him alone outside, I'm worried some might secretly plot against him," Shan Hai said, frowning.

"No need. Your junior brother, though young, has only cultivated for a few thousand years, but the path he's on isn't one I can interfere with." Zhan Yue God Emperor shook her head.

Upon hearing this, Shan Hai Divine Sovereign understood Master's intention, even if Jing Yan might face conspiracies or dangers in the future, it would still serve as a tempering for him. Like Jing Yan's insistence on going to the Land of Descent, an almost inescapable place, yet not only did Jing Yan return, he crossed a chasm where countless Nine Tripods Main Gods could only stop and gaze, becoming a God Lord. Consequently, he can explore his own path.

...

Chaos!

In fact, chaos is the universe. The nine divine domains in the human territory are just a part of the chaotic universe.

In chaos, there are other various races, including those hostile to humans, like the Sky Demon Clan. Also, there are powerful races like the Beast Clan, which have neutral relations with humanity.

The spiritual beasts and divine beasts in the human territory are also descendants of the Beast Clan. The overall power of the Beast Clan isn't inferior to humans. The kings within the Beast Clan have terrifying power, comparable to the supreme Heavenly Venerates of humans.

In chaos, there are also single worlds opened by human Heavenly Venerates. These individual worlds are not within the human territory, but many humans reside in such worlds.

To speak of, the Star Moon World opened by Zhan Yue God Emperor is similar to a Heavenly Venerate World.

All Heavenly Venerates will open their own worlds. Even Zhan Yue God Emperor, a strong one nearing a Heavenly Venerate, would spare no effort to open her own world.

There is, of course, a reason for this.

The process of a world's evolution inherently contains the rules of the Heavenly Dao's breath. By opening a world and observing its evolution, it allows a Heavenly Venerate to more easily perceive the supreme Heavenly Dao.

The operation of the universe, the mysteries of chaos, all are under the control of the Heavenly Dao's mysterious power.

For countless billions of years, any Heavenly Venerate's ultimate goal is to comprehend the mysteries of the Heavenly Dao.

Even strong ones like Zhan Yue God Emperor, nearing a Heavenly Venerate, by opening a world prototype and observing its changes, can enhance the chances of taking that step to become a Heavenly Venerate.

Of course, opening a world isn't something an ordinary God Lord can achieve. The most basic requirement is reaching near Heavenly Venerate strength, that is, a top-tier God Emperor level. Like Shan Hai, Zhi Ying, and other Divine Sovereigns, they are far from having the ability to open a world.

To open a world, at least five basic laws are needed to stabilize the world's structure. Then, four order laws are required for the world to operate normally.

It's exceedingly difficult!

The current Star Moon World is merely a prototype. Star Moon World cannot accommodate too many Martial Artists; if the number becomes too large, its operation might collapse, leading to the entire world's collapse.

In fact, Jing Yan's Qiankun Small World is also a world prototype, created by the Master of Death Divine Palace. That's why Qiankun Small World is so special, different from those mobile spaces.

At this moment, within the chaotic universe, in a city of the All Paths World.

This is an ordinary tavern in the city.

In a room within the tavern.

"Mother!" Jing Dongxue gazed at Gao Feng, who had just entered, her eyes fixed on Gao Feng's face.

Gao Feng's complexion was a bit pale. Although she tried to smile, Jing Dongxue noticed the intense emotional fluctuation in her mother, Gao Feng.

"Finally finished with work, we can rest today." Gao Feng squeezed out a smile, speaking gently to Jing Dongxue.

Currently, both Jing Dongxue and Gao Feng were wearing simple gray clothes.

"Mother, did those bastards bully you again?" Jing Dongxue bit her teeth, suppressing anger deep in her eyes.

"It's nothing, just endure a little and it'll be fine. Besides, in the city, those people wouldn't dare act recklessly, at most just verbally…" Gao Feng inhaled slightly, trying to keep her tone from being too bitter.
