Chapter 486: Renowned! The Inspector of Moxi Star Domain
Chapter 486: Renowned! The Inspector of Moxi Star Domain
In the vast Mortal Realm, there are three top-tier civilizations: the Immortal Ruin Civilization, the Chi Yang Civilization, and the Ten Thousand Dazzling Civilization.
The Immortal Ruin Civilization is the oldest, while the Chi Yang Civilization is the newest rising power.
The Ten Thousand Dazzling Civilization is the most low-key among them, having the fewest conflicts with powerful beings from other civilizations.
As a top-tier civilization, the Ten Thousand Dazzling Civilization has established an intelligence network targeting second-tier and numerous third-tier civilizations within the Mortal Realm.
The purpose is to keep a constant watch on the dynamics of the entire Mortal Realm.
"The secret agents and informants of the Demon Civilization have all gone silent two days ago. The last message received indicated that there was a battle between deities within the Demon Civilization's dimensional plane."
"What exactly happened?"
"It's as if the entire Demon Civilization suddenly faced a catastrophic annihilation."
"Could it be that a powerful deity has destroyed the Demon Civilization?" This is the matter of utmost concern for the Ten Thousand Dazzling Civilization's intelligence department.
There are only a few dozen civilizations as powerful as the Demon Civilization in the entire Mortal Realm.
Even when compared to the Ten Thousand Dazzling Civilization, the Demon Civilization has more Void Deities, but they do not possess overwhelming superiority in terms of power.
Yet, the Demon Civilization has been annihilated?
How astonishing!
"If such a force were to descend upon the Ten Thousand Dazzling Civilization, it's entirely possible that we would be wiped out as well."
"We must investigate. Based on our current knowledge, there are two possible scenarios. First, the Demon Civilization might have encountered a terrifying stellar calamity, similar to the 'Previous Seven Stars Civilization' from over ten thousand years ago."
The heavens turn, and the stars tremble. Occasionally, a single planet or even an entire dimensional domain can be engulfed by chaos.
"The second possibility is that the Seven Stars Civilization has destroyed the Demon Civilization. Fifteen years ago, Dong Fang Ji was suspected to possess peak Void Deity strength. Now, he might have advanced even further. If he successfully infiltrated the Demon Civilization and ignited the Divine Fire to become a deity, his power would surge, and he could annihilate the Demon Civilization."
"I'm more inclined to believe the latter." Dozens of Void Deities from the Ten Thousand Dazzling Civilization discuss the matter.
They are intensely focused on this incident.
Suddenly—
"News spreads! It's confirmed! The Seven Stars Civilization has eradicated the Demon Civilization and is publicly announcing the news to the entire Mortal Realm."
"This includes some battle footage." The highest echelons of the Ten Thousand Dazzling Civilization are all informed.
Within the 'Ten Thousand Dazzling Temple' of the Ten Thousand Dazzling Civilization, twenty-eight Void Deities gather in their divine perception forms.
Before each of them, the intelligence agency has provided detailed information.
"The Seven Stars Civilization's top genius, Li Yuan Demigod, after mysteriously disappearing for fifteen years, has invaded the Demon Civilization and single-handedly swept through it, defeating the Eastern Demon, Northern Moon, and other Void Deities..."
"At the same time, the Seven Stars Civilization sent us a separate message. The Gale Wind Demi-God, who was being pursued in the Ice River Galaxy, is a teacher of Li Yuan..." The twenty-eight Void Deities review the message.
They witness the battle footage released by the Seven Stars Civilization.
That terrifying force, capable of dominating the heavens and earth with ease, effortlessly suppressed three Void Deities.
"Li Yuan? Wasn't he only at the Demigod level fifteen years ago?"
"He was only at the Skywalker level back then."
"How old is he? Not even fifty yet, right? A Demigod defeating peak Void Deities?"
This group of Void Deities from the Ten Thousand Dazzling Civilization is thoroughly shocked.
Who is this monstrous genius? Dong Fang Ji was terrifying enough, but in their imagination, even if Li Yuan could catch up to Dong Fang Ji, it would still take at least a hundred years.
But only fifteen years have passed!
"Not good."
"Quick, Duo Ya Xia, return from the Ice River Galaxy immediately." The current leader of the Ten Thousand Dazzling Civilization, Qing Ming Veshen, has a somber expression. "I'll return immediately." Qing Ming Veshen, dressed in purple, also realizes the gravity of the situation and speaks in a low voice: "Let's prepare a gift of apology."
"Apology?"
"No!" Qing Xia Veshen shakes her head: "It's a gift of congratulations! A gift to celebrate the Seven Stars Civilization's victory over the evil Demon Civilization."
"Fortunately."
"The Ten Thousand Dazzling Civilization hasn't had major conflicts with the Seven Stars Civilization, and we are far apart. As long as we stay humble and show sufficient respect, they won't attack us." Qing Ming Veshen speaks solemnly.
Numerous Void Deities nod in agreement, their hearts filled with unspoken thoughts.
In the long history of the Mortal Realm, they have witnessed too many similar incidents.
Two great civilizations clash, and suddenly, one produces an unparalleled genius who defeats the other.
"O Great One, what should we do?" asked a Void Deity.
"First, prepare the grandest welcoming ceremony," Qing Ming Veshen said, "to receive the envoys from the Seven Star Civilization."
...
The news spread throughout the Mortal Realm, reaching even the second and third-rate civilizations.
It was known that there were over ten thousand planar dimensions in the Mortal Realm, and while there were few second-rate civilizations that had produced True Gods, there were hundreds of third-rate civilizations with Void Deities.
"Li Yuan? He single-handedly destroyed the Demon Civilization?"
"Such power is indeed terrifying."
"More importantly, his age!!!" The highest echelons of various civilizations trembled at the thought.
"The Seven Star Civilization is about to rise to prominence."
"With Li Yuan's extraordinary talent, becoming a True God is a certainty, and there's even hope that he could become the legendary Heaven Deity."
"He's a more monstrous genius than Dong Fang Ji."
"A hegemon!"
"At least in the future, the Seven Star Civilization will undoubtedly become the absolute hegemon of the Mortal Realm." All civilizations paid utmost attention to this development.
The Heaven Deity was a legend in the Mortal Realm.
Most of the highest echelons of civilizations had limited vision, but they were by no means foolish.
They all understood that the entire Mortal Realm's landscape was about to change.
In the future, the resources produced from the treasures hidden in the vast starry sky within the Mortal Realm would likely be controlled by the Seven Star Civilization.
"Send a Demigod messenger to observe the ceremony."
"Congratulations to the future hegemon of the Mortal Realm, the Seven Star Civilization! And express our highest respect to Li Yuan, the greatest genius in the history of the Mortal Realm." The majority of civilizations decided to attend the ceremony and began drafting overly flattering congratulatory messages.
These high-ranking members of civilizations understood one thing.
Attending the ceremony to congratulate the Seven Star Civilization might not be a concern for them.
But if they didn't attend, the Seven Star Civilization would definitely take notice.
...
The Chi Yang Civilization was a powerful civilization that had risen rapidly over the past hundred thousand years.
Within the planar dimension, a majestic temple hovered in the vast starry sky.
The temple seemed to bathe in eternal divine light.
This was the Chi Yang Temple.
"Li Yuan? What a monstrous talent. Even in the Ten Thousand Paths Divine Court or the Chaos Divine Court, he would be a core member." On the majestic throne of the temple, a towering figure clad in a red robe, standing about a hundred meters tall, appeared.
Sitting on the throne, he could see the endless starry sky.
He was Lie Qing Zhen Shen, the fourth True God born in the history of the Chi Yang Civilization.
And he was the only True God in the contemporary Chi Yang Civilization.
"Fortunately."
"My Chi Yang Civilization has never had any conflicts with the Seven Star Civilization," Lie Qing Zhen Shen said softly, "The last time the Demon Civilization sent a message for help, I didn't agree." (350)
"This Li Yuan disappeared for fifteen years. Was he cultivating all this time, or did he enter the Immortal Ancient Domain and gain a great opportunity, thus achieving such power?" Lie Qing Zhen Shen pondered.
As a True God, he had once wandered the Divine Realm, experiencing ten thousand years before returning to his homeland.
His vision far surpassed that of the Void Deities of other civilizations.
"The hegemon of the Mortal Realm?"
"No!"
"If Dong Fang Ji only has a slim chance of becoming a Heaven Deity, then Li Yuan's chances of becoming one are extremely high."
"Moreover, he will likely go to the Divine Realm. Such a monstrous talent won't stop here." Lie Qing Zhen Shen sighed inwardly, "Once he becomes a Heaven Deity, he can return home."
"Then he can easily unify the entire Mortal Realm."
Lie Qing Zhen Shen's thoughts went deep.
He was well aware that the 'Primordial Divine Power' of each planar dimension could block Void Deities and True Gods, protecting the civilizations within... But it couldn't stop Li Yuan.
"For the civilization, we must try to grasp the future."
"At the very least, we must minimize the possibility of my Chi Yang Civilization's destruction." Lie Qing Zhen Shen made his decision.
Huff!
He flipped his palm, and a crystal ball emitting flames appeared in his palm. He then crushed the crystal ball.
Whoosh~
A large amount of flames shot out in all directions, gradually converging and forming a flame phantom.
This phantom had its eyes closed.
As time passed, Lie Qing Zhen Shen patiently waited.
After half an hour.
"Huff!" The flame phantom suddenly opened its eyes.
Those eyes were filled with radiant light, making the flame phantom seem alive with unfathomable aura.
"Lie Qing Zhen Shen, I am Nie Hu, the inspector of the Mo He Star Domain." The flame phantom slowly spoke, "It's been two thousand years since you last activated the Golden Robe Order, right?"
"Yes, Inspector," Lie Qing Zhen Shen replied respectfully.
Although they were both True Gods, he knew that this Nie Hu was likely a Purple Robe True God.
In the Chaos Divine Court, only True Gods at their limit would have the qualifications to receive the Purple Robe title.
"You've been in your homeland, the Mortal Realm, for ten thousand years, and you haven't returned to the Divine Realm. This time, you activated the order, there must be something important." The flame phantom said, "Could it be that something happened in the Immortal Ancient Domain?"
"The Inspector, responsible for overseeing all four directions, holds immense authority.
Many True Gods, like Lie Qing Zhen Shen, who have already chosen to 'retire', often report to the Divine Court if there's something to be conveyed. Usually, they contact the Inspector.
"It's not about an issue in the Immortal Ancient Domain."
Lie Qing Zhen Shen respectfully said, "It's about a peerless genius who has just emerged in our Mortal Realm. With the strength of a Demigod, he has seemingly unleashed the power of a Void Deity at its peak."
"A Demigod with the power of a Void Deity? That's already on par with a Golden Robe Member." A light shone in the eyes of Flame Phantom as he spoke, "Can you confirm this?"
"I confirm it," Lie Qing Zhen Shen said solemnly.
"So, I wish to request the Mo He Division to invite him to join our Chaos Divine Court." Lie Qing Zhen Shen said, "I wonder what your opinion is, Inspector? Can you grant me the necessary authority?"
"Tell me about his situation," Flame Phantom asked.
"This is the detailed intelligence about the peerless genius, Li Yuan..." Lie Qing Zhen Shen described in detail.
Flame Phantom listened patiently. Inviting an unparalleled genius to join isn't just about assessing their talent and strength but also considering their identity and background.
When major powers select talents, loyalty takes precedence.
Suddenly—
"Wait!" Flame Phantom said in a deep voice, "Say it again. What's the name of his civilization, and what was the name of the previous unparalleled genius from that civilization?"
"Seven Star Civilization," Lie Qing Zhen Shen hesitated, "The previous one was called Dong Fang Ji."
"Haha."
"So, Dong Fang Ji is from the same hometown civilization as this Li Yuan. Dong Fang Ji's hometown is the same as your Mortal Realm." Flame Phantom revealed a smile, "In that case, this Li Yuan should be trustworthy."
"Inspector, do you know Dong Fang Ji?" Now it was Lie Qing Zhen Shen's turn to be surprised.
He had never heard of Dong Fang Ji.
But then, Lie Qing Zhen Shen thought of a possibility.
"I know Dong Fang Ji."
"Lie Qing, I won't hide it from you. Ten years ago, the Divine Court headquarters sent news about a new Golden Robe Demigod in our Mo He Star Domain." Flame Phantom said, "It's Dong Fang Ji, and in his intelligence, his hometown civilization is indeed called Seven Star."
"Golden Robe Demigod? Dong Fang Ji?" Lie Qing Zhen Shen was astonished.
The Chaos Divine Court directly governs over eight hundred star domains and has established divisions in more than two thousand others.
The Mo He Star Domain is a place where major powers and minor factions mingle, with constant battles. The Chaos Divine Court is one of them.
With such an extensive territory, the number of Golden Robe Demigods they can recruit every few centuries is barely over ten thousand.
For a Golden Robe Demigod to emerge from the Mo He Star Domain, it might take a century.
The number is still quite small.
Of course, Lie Qing Zhen Shen is aware of Dong Fang Ji's talent, which matches that of a Golden Robe Demigod.
What truly surprised him was that Dong Fang Ji had entered the Divine Court headquarters ten years ago.
Could it be that more than ten years ago, Dong Fang Ji had left the Mortal Realm?
"And according to my knowledge, he is among the strongest Golden Robe Demigods. In his most recent promotion battle, he might have already become a Purple Robe Demigod." Flame Phantom continued.
These words left Lie Qing Zhen Shen completely stunned.
A Purple Robe Demigod?
That's far more prestigious than a Golden Robe Demigod.
On average, it takes tens of thousands of years for a Purple Robe Demigod to emerge from the Mo He Division.
Every Purple Robe Demigod has the potential to challenge for the position of a True God.
"If what you say is true, then it's indeed unimaginable." Flame Phantom said, "For such a weak civilization to produce two Purple Robe Demigod geniuses in a short time?"
"Perhaps this Seven Star Civilization is fated to be the blessed land of the universe."
"Maybe it's because of the Immortal Ancient Domain."
Lie Qing Zhen Shen listened intently.
Fate? Unfathomable and mysterious.
"Since he and Dong Fang Ji are from the same civilization, it proves his background has been verified." Flame Phantom said, "Lie Qing."
"I grant you the authority to invite Li Yuan. Once successful, when Li Yuan officially becomes a Golden Robe Demigod, you will receive a corresponding reward. You can choose to keep it for your hometown, for when they come to the Divine Realm." Flame Phantom said.
He understood that True Gods like Lie Qing Zhen Shen, who returned to their hometown, rarely came back to the Divine Realm.
After all, traveling from the Mortal Realm to the Divine Realm is relatively easy, usually requiring only the strength of a low-level Void Deity.
But returning from the Divine Realm to the hometown in the Mortal Realm is much more difficult.
Apart from the 'Spatial Window Period' that occurs once every ten thousand years, only native True Gods can freely traverse the inter-realm passages.
"Yes," Lie Qing Zhen Shen replied.
He didn't care much about the reward.
Even if Li Yuan became a Purple Robe Demigod, that reward wouldn't mean much to a True God like him.
The crucial part is obtaining news about Dong Fang Ji.
Then, the chances of inviting Li Yuan to join the Divine Court will significantly increase.
"Once the invitation is successful..."
"My Chi Yang Civilization and Seven Star Civilization will be considered part of the same camp." Lie Qing Zhen Shen thought to himself, "This way, we can minimize the danger to the entire civilization."
Even True Gods from the same camp might fight each other due to grudges, treasures, and other reasons.
But the probability is much lower.
Soon after, Flame Phantom dissipated, returning to its original form as a crystal ball emitting flames.
Huff!
The command token was put away.
Lie Qing Zhen Shen took a step forward and instantly left the majestic temple, swiftly heading towards a distant, massive star.
This is the Chi Yang Star, the core of the Chi Yang Civilization, akin to the Flying Star of the Seven Star Civilization.
Through the Planar Gateway of Chi Yang Star, Lie Qing Zhen Shen can swiftly depart from the Chi Yang Civilization's plane.
Then, he hastens towards the Seven Star Civilization's plane.
...
Immortal Ruin Civilization, Jiu Yun Star.
As the planet base of the Jiu Yun Immortal Sect, it is also the most crucial planet of the Immortal Ruin Civilization in modern times.
Within the Jiu Yun Realm of the sect's sacred land.
Sixth Realm, there stands an incredibly grand building, which is the 'Divine Hall' of the Immortal Ruin Civilization. When significant events occur, this place serves as the assembly hall for numerous deities.
Today, this grand hall opens, gathering thirty-two Void Deities, some in consciousness and others in their true forms.
Perhaps, the outside world believes that the Immortal Ruin Civilization has fewer than thirty Void Deities in modern times, but in reality, every ancient civilization has some hidden strengths.
"Everyone."
"I have convened the highest-level assembly." Yan Lin Void Deity spoke slowly, "There's a reason for this. My Immortal Ruin Civilization is facing a great calamity."
"A great calamity?"
"What is it?" Some Void Deities remained silent, while others were unclear about what had happened.
"This intelligence, this footage, you all should take a look." Yan Lin Void Deity was present in his true form.
Huh!
He pointed at the void, and instantly, light screens gathered, presenting a vast amount of information before all the Void Deities.
After viewing it,
The previously perplexed Void Deities were thoroughly shocked.
"How did Li Yuan's strength become so powerful? Just fifteen years!"
"If we had known, why did we initiate those two exploratory attacks?"
"Yan Lin, you need to give us an explanation."
"What kind of explanation? The four-star realms bordering the Seven Star Civilization were originally an opportunity for us. It was a good chance to seize the Nine Leaves Nine Mountains. At the time of the assembly, we all agreed."
"Right! According to the information we received, Dong Fang Ji has likely already left the Mortal Realm."
"As a result, in the first exploratory battle, we were blocked by a Voidgod Puppet, and at that time, Fang Hai also unleashed the strength of a low-level Void Deity."
"At that time, Li Yuan didn't even show up."
"What should we do now?"
"This Li Yuan, is even more monstrous than Dong Fang Ji, and a Half-Deity can actually annihilate the Demon Civilization? Are Dong Fang and the others just too useless?" These Void Deities all felt stumped.
Too difficult to handle.
"Everyone!"
"Discussing the rights and wrongs of the past is useless now." Yan Lin Void Deity spoke in a low voice, "We must make a decision: to continue our hostile relationship with the Seven Star Civilization or to improve our relationship."
The numerous Void Deities looked at each other.
"We want to resolve it, but will the Seven Star Civilization accept it?"
"Previously, when we invaded Lan Xing, it resulted in the deaths of thousands of people."
"Li Yuan's annihilation of the Demon Civilization proves that he is inherently ruthless. Even if he agrees to reconciliation today, how can we guarantee he won't regret it in the future?" The Void Deities spoke one by one, expressing their concerns.
Suddenly,
Whoosh!
A figure in a green robe flew into the Divine Hall, emitting a powerful aura. He spoke in a low voice, "Everyone, stop arguing. Let's see who can open this scroll delivered by the Seven Star Civilization's envoy."
Huh! The green-robed figure waved his hand.
A scroll flew and landed in the center of the hall, suspended by an invisible force, attracting the attention of all the Void Deities.
"This scroll?"
"Nonsense."
"Su Zi, can't you open it?" Many of the Void Deities whose consciousness had descended spoke up.
"Unless I use brute force, otherwise, I can't open it." The green-robed figure spoke softly, "This scroll's understanding of spatial intricacies is too profound."
"The Seven Star Civilization's envoy said that this scroll was personally written by Li Yuan, and he wants us to open it." The green-robed figure added.
These words caused the faces of the crowd to turn solemn.
Su Zi Void Deity was already an extremely powerful one among their group of Void Deities, yet he couldn't open it. Everyone looked at Yan Lin Void Deity.
"I'll give it a try." Yan Lin Void Deity spoke softly. He reached out and grabbed the scroll out of thin air.
Power surged, and he attempted to open it.
"Whoosh~" An invisible wave instantly burst forth from the scroll, its aura wasn't strong, but it was incredibly profound. Nearly transparent secret patterns appeared on the surface of the scroll, yet they couldn't be moved.
This scene caused the faces of all the Void Deities to change.
"Void Pattern? How profound is the understanding of spatial intricacies here?" Yan Lin Void Deity was completely shocked, "Did Li Yuan really write this? Or is he just trying to scare us?"
His strength was nearly at the limit of a Void Deity, and he considered himself well-versed in the intricacies of space.
But the intricacies of space reflected in this scroll completely surpassed him.
He couldn't open it.
Suddenly, without a sound,
Huh! In the hall, countless illusory stars appeared out of thin air, their starlight blossoming and enveloping the entire hall, as if warping space.
A figure in magnificent attire stepped out of the warped space.
His entire body emitted a fiery glow, his aura vast and mighty. As his gaze swept over, an invisible pressure made every Void Deity feel an unprecedented oppression.
"Chi Yan Elder!" Yan Lin Void Deity stood up.
"Elder!"
"True God!" Each and every Void Deity stood up, filled with excitement.
"This scroll is aimed at me." Chi Yan True God's gaze fell on the scroll.
