Chapter 552: The Void Deity Realm (6K)



"Dao Mo, you may withdraw first." Winter Glow Divine King spoke.

"Yes." Dao Mo Heavenly Deity respectfully retreated from this world.

The entire world was left with only two Divine Kings and Li Yuan.

"Flame Illusion, bring out the gift you prepared," Winter Glow Divine King said with a smile.

"Mhm." Flame Illusion Divine King's body was still enveloped in flames, and a silver streak of light shot out from the flames, rapidly expanding to a size of about a hundred li, revealing a city.

This was a city entirely silver in color, shrouded by countless clouds and mist, appearing both real and illusory, making it difficult to see the interior. Only the silhouettes of numerous exotic beasts could be seen darting by.

"What is this?" Li Yuan wondered.

With his strength, he could clearly sense that this silver city seemed like a single entity, exuding a powerful aura.

"Li Yuan, I heard from Winter Glow Divine King that you will be returning to your hometown, the Black River Star Domain, and have chosen to ascend to True Godhood there?" Flame Illusion Divine King's voice was cold.

"Yes," Li Yuan nodded. Choosing the place of his ascension was a significant decision for a deity, and naturally, he had to report to his Senior Brother.

After all, once he ascended, there would be no turning back.

"My hometown is in the Black River Star Domain," Li Yuan said. "My wish is to ensure the eternal prosperity of my hometown's civilization, at least during my lifetime, and to prevent any calamities."

Divine Kings were nearly invincible in their home star domains, and even powerful Divine Emperors would have to be cautious.

For Li Yuan, after years of cultivation, in addition to pursuing the peak of cultivation, he also wanted to protect his family and his hometown.

"Mhm." Flame Illusion Divine King spoke, "This treasure is called 'Cloudlight Realm City'. It is not a single treasure, but a special Dao Treasure refined from thirty-six Heavenly Treasures. Individually, each Heavenly Treasure is quite ordinary, but when combined, they form a nearly perfect whole."

"Cloudlight Realm City contains thirty-six Cavern Heaven worlds and thirty-six layers of guardian formation arrays."

Li Yuan was surprised to hear this. A Dao Treasure and thirty-six Heavenly Treasures refined together? What an incredible treasure!

"It has two uses."

"First, when used in motion, it can gather a large number of True Gods within, manipulate the formation arrays, and unleash terrifying battle prowess, equivalent to an alternative power that can withstand a God Lord with just one ordinary deity in command." Flame Illusion Divine King explained.

"The second use is to choose a suitable location, combine it with the vast void, and root it there, absorbing a vast amount of heavenly source power, with the right location, it can become the stronghold of a power, even with thirty-six deities working together, the city's stability would be unshakable, even a group of God Lords would find it difficult to move."

"In the future, as you will be staying in the Black River Star Domain for a long time, hiding within Cloudlight Realm City will ensure the safety of you and your powerful subordinates." Flame Illusion Divine King added.

"Now, it's yours."

Whoosh!

Cloudlight Realm City rapidly shrank, eventually becoming palm-sized, and landed in Li Yuan's hand.

"Thank you, Flame Illusion Divine King," Li Yuan expressed his gratitude.

Li Yuan couldn't help but wonder, Cloudlight Realm City was clearly similar to the Starry Sky Ancient City, a war fortress and an ideal stronghold for a power.

In the future, as the Seven Stars Divine Kingdom expands, when Li Yuan becomes a True God, it will become a medium-sized Starry Sky Divine Kingdom, and it will be time to establish independence.

Although Cloudlight Realm City was not as grand as Starry Sky Ancient City, its value was immeasurable, far surpassing that of the Great Stone Star.

"Alright."

"Li Yuan, strive hard. You are still relatively weak now, but I look forward to the day when you become a Divine King, leading the Perceiving Star Divine Palace," Flame Illusion Divine King's voice was serene. "Also, if you encounter any trouble, you can come to me if your Senior Brother is unable to help."

"I won't be as cautious as him."

Swoosh!

Countless flames converged, and the space-time ripples shook as Flame Illusion Divine King disappeared from this world.

"Senior Brother, what's this?" Li Yuan was taken aback.

"This fellow, even before leaving, had to say a few more words," Winter Glow Divine King smiled. "Do you know who Flame Illusion Divine King is?"

"She's from the Heart Dream Imperial Palace lineage," Li Yuan replied.

Initially, when he first left, Senior Meng had mentioned that he had already sent a message to Flame Illusion Divine King.

However, after all these years, she had never come to meet him.

"Mhm." Winter Glow Divine King nodded. "I preside over the Perceiving Star Divine Palace, making decisions on various matters. Therefore, I must be impartial and cannot show favoritism, nor can I reveal that you are my teacher's disciple."

"But Flame Illusion Divine King is kind to you."

"But in reality, she doesn't follow the usual rules. Not only do other powerful forces' deities fear her, but even our internal Divine Kings find her troublesome." Winter Glow Divine King sighed. "In the dark corners of the universe, for a treasure, even if other forces' deities retreat, she often finds an excuse to kill them."

Li Yuan was stunned by what he heard.

Powerful beings often had their pride, and there were some unspoken rules among the various forces in the universe.

For example, Li Yuan's current status and strength, he wouldn't casually take action against Void Deities or Demigods, as that would be considered 'bullying the weak'.

Similarly, deities wouldn't usually provoke Divine Kings.

After all, if you kill my junior, I'll kill your junior, and the entire divine domain would be in chaos. How could the younger generation of any force grow?

It seems that this Fire Illusion Divine King does indeed have a flamboyant personality.

"So, before you have the ability to protect yourself, it's best not to seek her out." The Winter Glow Divine King said, "There are quite a few Divine Kings in the Divine Domain who have life-and-death grudges with her, and it's easy to get entangled with them."

"It's fine if you receive a treasure from her."

"But if you get too involved, the consequences will also be deep. In the future, when you become a Celestial Deity or even a Divine King, and she encounters some difficulties, you'll have no choice but to help her." The Winter Glow Divine King said, "If you stand on her side, the Divine Kings who are her enemies will naturally view you as an enemy as well. Some Divine Kings, in their madness, won't even care about the Divine Emperors."

"Even if you're not afraid at that time, what about your family and friends?" The Winter Glow Divine King said, understanding Li Yuan's past and his character.

Li Yuan's heart trembled, "Thank you, Senior Brother, for the reminder."

"Yes, I'm just reminding you." The Winter Glow Divine King said, "You're using the Time Chamber to accelerate your cultivation at great cost, all for the sake of returning home quickly to save your senior sister and close friend."

"Senior Brother, your insight is impeccable." Li Yuan said.

As the leader of the Perception Star Imperial Palace, the Winter Glow Divine King was capable of uncovering many secrets.

"Wasting a few years... for a Celestial Deity or a Divine King, it seems like a negligible amount of time." The Winter Glow Divine King sighed, "But life is ultimately finite. In the future, when making such decisions, it's best to be extra cautious."

"Yes." Li Yuan nodded, for the efficiency of his law comprehension in the Time Chamber was indeed extremely low, only one-tenth of the normal rate.

But Li Yuan had no regrets in his heart.

"The Fire Illusion Divine King has prepared a gift for your ascension to Divinity, so as your senior brother, I should also prepare something." The Winter Glow Divine King said.

Hua!

The Winter Glow Divine King waved his hand, and a jade box appeared in the sky, emitting a mysterious aura before slowly descending.

It landed in front of Li Yuan.

"Senior Brother, what is this?" Li Yuan asked, looking at the Winter Glow Divine King.

"You'll know after scanning it once." The Winter Glow Divine King smiled, "But don't open it for now, wait until you need to use it."

Li Yuan swept his divine sense over the jade box, and he immediately felt a message being transmitted from within.

The content of this message delighted Li Yuan, even more so than when he obtained the Cloudlight Realm City.

It was a Fruit of Primordial Law.

This fruit could be endured by True Gods and above, and once consumed and refined, it could allow one to comprehend a foundational law they were most familiar with to the tenth stage within an extremely short period, gaining the foundation to become an Ethereal Deity.

There were five such fruits in the jade box.

"This Fruit of Primordial Law isn't very useful for True Gods and above, it only increases cultivation efficiency by a small amount." The Winter Glow Divine King said, "But it's extremely rare. I discovered that the Everything Palace has a new batch of them."

"So I exchanged for them as a gift for you."

"I hope it will be of some use to you!"

"Thank you, Senior Brother." Li Yuan expressed his gratitude.

Li Yuan understood that Senior Brother Winter Glow must have investigated his past and learned some details, which was why he specifically offered this Fruit of Primordial Law.

It was indeed a thoughtful gesture.

"I, too, have walked this long path of cultivation." The Winter Glow Divine King sighed, "On this endless journey, family and friends will eventually pass away. Being able to accompany them for a while is a blessing... Junior Brother, you're luckier than me; when you became a True God, you still had many friends and family."

The Winter Glow Divine King seemed to recall something.

But he didn't wish to say more.

The Winter Glow Divine King changed the topic, "You already have the Cloudlight Realm City. I'll dispatch another guard army to protect it."

"Ten leaders of the Eight-Star True Gods, all of them at the peak of True God strength."

"Nine hundred and ninety Seven-Star True God guards, with strengths ranging from mid-level to peak True God."

"A total of one thousand True Gods." The Winter Glow Divine King said, "They will follow your commands for three thousand years."

"Junior Brother, after becoming a True God with the Ten-Star Vein, your strength should be comparable to a second-stage Celestial Deity."

"Even if you're not there, with this guard army defending the Cloudlight Realm City, even a Divine Lord would find it difficult to breach."

"After three thousand years, how many True Gods will still be willing to follow you will depend on you." The Winter Glow Divine King said.

"Thank you, Senior Brother." Li Yuan was touched, as the Winter Glow Divine King had indeed considered everything thoroughly.

However, the only thing the Winter Glow Divine King didn't account for was that Li Yuan possessed the 'Perfect Ten-Star Vein'.

Hua!

The Winter Glow Divine King waved his hand again, and a fruit emitting a seven-colored glow landed in front of Li Yuan.

"A Space Star Emperor Fruit?" Li Yuan recognized it at a glance.

"I originally prepared two Space Star Emperor Fruits for you. I wanted to give you the second one after you became a Celestial Deity." The Winter Glow Divine King smiled, "But your law comprehension has already reached the level of a Celestial Deity, so there's not much point in waiting. Here, take them both."

"You decide when to use them."

"Yes, Senior Brother." Li Yuan said.

"Is there anything else I can help you with?" The Winter Glow Divine King asked, "Just say it, and I'll do my best to help."

"Senior Brother has already helped me a lot, and I shouldn't ask for more. But there are indeed two matters I'd like to seek your guidance on." Li Yuan said, "I'm cultivating the Perfect Star Technique 'Spatial Source Body'. After I become a Divine King, I'll be able to cultivate the Source Body... At that time, can you help me hide the Source Body?"

"Yes, I can." The Winter Glow Divine King nodded.

According to the instructions of the Perceive Star Divine Emperor, this secret is best kept to oneself and not shared with anyone else.

"Clone Technique?" Winter Blade Divine King realized, "Alright, I'll have Blade Demon accompany me to the Black River Star Domain. Once your Source Body cultivation is complete, the Source Body will return with me."

"I'll arrange for you to cultivate in an unoccupied palace within the Perceive Star Divine Palace. You can cultivate your Source Body in peace, and no one will know."

"In the future, when you become a Celestial Deity, this unoccupied palace will also become your palace." Winter Blade Divine King said.

"Thank you, Senior Brother," Li Yuan replied.

"You're actually cultivating the 'Spatial Source Body'—this is the pinnacle of Clone Techniques." Winter Blade Divine King smiled again, "In the future, when you become a Divine King, you'll be one of the three Main Bodies."

The so-called Clone Techniques, Main Body, and Source Body all share a common consciousness. When the 'Spatial Source Body' is cultivated to an extremely high level, they are all Main Bodies among themselves.

"Junior Brother, which Perfect Star Techniques are you cultivating?" Winter Blade Divine King asked curiously.

"Law Heaven Earth, Void True Interpretation, Spatial Source Body, and Ten Thousand Stars River," Li Yuan replied.

These were the answers Li Yuan had prepared in advance.

The other four Perfect Star Techniques were difficult to discern from the outside, but once 'Law Heaven Earth' and 'Ten Thousand Stars River' were displayed, they would be quite noticeable.

"It's a pity that among the Perfect Star Techniques, there's none related to the soul lineage. Otherwise, with your innate potential in the soul path, I fear you would become extremely powerful." Winter Blade Divine King sighed.

Li Yuan sighed inwardly. No matter how profound the Star Techniques were, in essence, they were all about exploring and utilizing the Divine Body, so it was natural that they rarely touched on the mysteries of the soul.

"There's one more thing?" Winter Blade Divine King asked.

"In the past, I once ventured into the Perceive Star Continent and also took on a master there..." Li Yuan explained in detail.

The fact that Source Mars Golden Robe members could descend upon the Perceive Star Continent for trials indicated that the Chaos Divine Court and the Perceive Star Continent had a connection.

"Perceive Star Continent?"

"Is it the small world that Master sealed off for experiments?" Winter Blade Divine King nodded, "It's nothing. I'll send a message to that Jiang Yuan Celestial Deity, asking him to come to the Divine Domain as soon as possible. I'll also make arrangements for him to directly join the Perceive Star Divine Palace."

"Thank you, Senior Brother," Li Yuan said.

Having made a promise to Jiang Yuan Celestial Deity in the past, Li Yuan naturally wanted to fulfill it as soon as possible.

Li Yuan was extremely grateful to Jiang Yuan Celestial Deity in his heart.

"Joining the Chaos Divine Court earlier would also be more beneficial for Jiang Yuan Senior Brother's growth," Li Yuan thought to himself.

"Go."

"Junior Brother, according to Master's instructions, from the moment you become a Deity, everything from then on will be for you to forge your own path," Winter Blade Divine King entrusted, "Until the day you have the strength to preside over the Perceive Star Divine Palace."

"Remember, your top priority is to protect your life!"

Li Yuan respectfully bowed and then stood up to leave.

Winter Blade Divine King silently watched this scene.

"According to Master's instructions, I can't give too many treasures to Junior Brother. It wouldn't be good for his growth," Winter Blade Divine King sighed inwardly.

Otherwise, with the wealth and treasures Winter Blade Divine King possessed, it wouldn't be difficult to bring out a Divine King Armament.

What a pity!

The Perceive Star Divine Emperor had given an order.

Therefore, Winter Blade Divine King thought it over and finally decided to give the Fruit of the Law and send a batch of guardian soldiers.

"Junior Brother, your potential is immense."

"To have Master place such importance on you, and to receive his instructions multiple times within a short period, it's likely that among the Ten Star Veins, you're at the pinnacle," Winter Blade Divine King thought to himself.

He wasn't clear that Li Yuan was a Perfect Ten Star Vein, but from his master's attitude, he could deduce part of the truth.

"Relying on my own transcendence? There's not a sliver of hope."

"Even if I enter the Perceive Star Space-Time and sleep, with the extremely slow flow of time, even if it doesn't reach time stasis, there will still be extinction."

"In the Heart Dream Realm, there's no place for me."

"Junior Brother, you're the only hope I can see," Winter Blade Divine King thought, "If Junior Brother succeeds in the future and truly surpasses the three Divine Emperors, he'll also open up a new Heart Dream Universe."

"And..."

"There will also be my chance." Winter Blade Divine King thought silently.

He didn't want to silently disappear into the long river of time.

...

Outside the Perceive Star Divine Palace.

On a massive star.

"Paying respects to Li Yuan Divine Son," a thousand True Gods bowed respectfully, all of them looking at Li Yuan with curiosity.

Previously, they had received a task to follow Li Yuan's orders for the next three thousand years, and they were all extremely surprised.

But military orders are as heavy as mountains, so they naturally had to obey.

"Junior Uncle," Blade Demon Celestial Deity transmitted his voice, "This group of guardian soldiers will temporarily be led by me. Among the ten commanders, the strongest are 'Yu Yao True God' and 'Qing Qu True God', both of whom have comprehended Celestial Deity techniques."

Li Yuan was surprised in his heart.

As an Eight Star Vein who had also comprehended Celestial Deity techniques... Such powerful True Gods could become Celestial Deities at any moment.

Senior Brother had actually sent them.

"But Junior Uncle, rest assured. With me here, no one dares to cause trouble," Blade Demon Celestial Deity said. "After you become a True God, you'll also be able to suppress them."

Li Yuan nodded.

These True Gods before him seemed respectful, but they weren't servants. Even if they outwardly obeyed and didn't dare to show dissatisfaction, it didn't mean they agreed inwardly... To gain the recognition of these powerful True Gods, status alone wasn't enough.

The journey required sufficient strength.

"I am the Blade Demon Celestial God, and by the Divine King's command, I will temporarily lead you to escort Li Yuan back to the Black River Star Domain." The Blade Demon Celestial God's voice was icy. "Following Li Yuan is your opportunity. Yu Yao True God, Qing Qu True God... I hope you can control your subordinates and not dare to disobey."

"Yes." Yu Yao True God, Qing Qu True God, and the other nine True Gods all replied respectfully.

These True God leaders were shocked in their hearts.

The Blade Demon Celestial God, a renowned existence among the Celestial Gods... To have the Divine King order his protection for Li Yuan.

"Everyone, listen up. Enter my Cavern Heaven Treasure."

"Let's go. To the Black River Star Domain." The Blade Demon Celestial God spoke in a deep voice.

...

Li Yuan emerged from the Time Abyss and hurriedly boarded the Starry Sky Teleportation Array to reach the Black River Star Domain.

The journey took less than a day.

The Black River Star Domain.

The Kun Li Star System, spanning thousands of light-years, contained over a hundred thousand life-bearing planets, and countless ordinary planets.

In the starry sky.

Here, far from any life-bearing planet, the space trembled slightly.

Two figures appeared out of thin air.

"Little Master, let's choose this place for your breakthrough." The Blade Demon Celestial God spoke softly.

"Mhm." Li Yuan nodded, his eyes glowing with a faint light, scanning the endless void.

There were no abnormalities.

Whoosh! The Blade Demon Celestial God waved his hand, and a stream of light appeared, revealing a massive city shrouded in clouds—the Cloudlight Realm City.

Li Yuan, not yet at his breakthrough, couldn't completely refine the Cloudlight Realm City.

For now, he temporarily handed control to the Blade Demon Celestial God.

Boom! The Cloudlight Realm City expanded rapidly, quickly reaching a size of ten thousand kilometers, emitting a vast and profound aura.

Li Yuan and the Blade Demon Celestial God flew into the interior of the Cloudlight Realm City.

Following them, over a thousand True Gods flew out from the Cavern Heaven Treasure.

"All True Gods, follow my previous orders. Take your positions and enter the formation." The Blade Demon Celestial God's voice was cold.

"Yes."

Over a thousand True Gods transformed into streams of light and entered thirty-six protective formations.

In an instant, the stars trembled, and the source power of heaven and earth within a range of hundreds of millions of kilometers began to surge towards the Cloudlight Realm City.

But the Cloudlight Realm City itself merged into the void, invisible to the naked eye from the outside.

"Little Master."

"The formation is set up. With me here, even if a God Lord were to appear, they couldn't shake the Cloudlight Realm City." The Blade Demon Celestial God smiled.

"Thank you." Li Yuan said, maintaining respect despite being the 'Master' of the other party.

Whoosh! Li Yuan took a step forward and entered the core temple of the Cloudlight Realm City.

The temple was empty.

Li Yuan sat down in a meditative posture.

"The Bei Qiu Mortal Domain is part of the Black River Star Domain." Li Yuan's heart gradually calmed. "For me, breaking through in the Black River Star Domain is the same as breaking through in the Bei Qiu Mortal Domain."

Why did he have to return to the Black River Star Domain? Because when a Demigod ignites the Divine Flame, the soul, in its evolutionary leap, will sense the origin of the star domain and divine domain, receiving a baptism of origin and imbuing it with a trace of origin's breath... Without this experience, one would be rejected.

Like Li Yuan, if he had become a god in the Spirit Wood Domain, he would have been rejected by his homeland's divine domain origin and not considered a native.

Similarly, if Li Yuan didn't become a god in the Black River Star Domain, he would be subconsciously rejected by its origin, and in the future, he wouldn't be able to return to the Bei Qiu Mortal Domain as a god.

"Let's begin."

"Breakthrough to the Ethereal God." Li Yuan's heart moved, and his Divine Body's Ten Star Veins began to transform.

"Still using the Earth Law as the core."

In every part of Li Yuan's Divine Body, in every blood and flesh cell, in the Ten Perfect Star Veins, and within the Source Power Space, Earth Law Secret Patterns appeared and began to operate.

Soul growth and breakthrough, the essence of the evolutionary leap, are all based on the understanding of laws... Before reaching the Divine King realm, the Divine Body is condensed using the understanding of a basic law as the core.

When Li Yuan became a Demigod, he used the Earth Law as the foundation.

Today, as he ignites the Divine Flame, he still does so.

Moreover, by choosing the 'Earth Law' as the core to ignite the Divine Flame, the foundation of the Divine Body is set, and there's no possibility of changing it... In the future, when becoming a True God or a Celestial God, he must use the Earth Law as the core...)



If in the future, Li Yuan comprehends the other basic laws thoroughly, but the Earth Law is stuck at the ninth stage's limit... Then he also won't be able to become a god.

Ethereal God, True God, Celestial God... The Divine Flame, Divine Heart, Divine Core, are all interconnected.

There's only one exception, and that's to comprehend the complete Spatial Law and use it to reconstruct the Divine Core, transcending the seven basic laws, and directly becoming a Divine King.

"Boom!"

In Li Yuan's Source Power Space, the Life Fire Source Dan ignited, transforming into soaring flames.

The flames blazed, consuming everything, this was the Divine Flame! The core of the Ethereal God.

The Ten Perfect Star Veins surged with power.

Suddenly, Li Yuan's Divine Body generated a mighty suction force, frantically absorbing the source power of heaven and earth from the outside, and the source power within the Cloudlight Realm City surged.
