Chapter 112 The Descent of the Celestial Venerable
A black hole floats silently in the spatial turbulence, rotating quietly.
One after another, figures flew in from afar and appeared in front of the black hole.
Jag stood at the front, pointing to the black hole-shaped spatial passage.
"This is the spatial passage to the realm of the gods," Jagger said.
"The realm of gods!" The gods looked at the spatial passage with anticipation.
Jag said solemnly, "If you want to go to the God Realm, I won't stop you, but there are some things I need to remind you of beforehand. The power of will cannot be used in the God Realm. In other words, once you arrive in the God Realm, most of you will be no different from the leaders among the higher gods."
"Unable to use the power of will?" The gods all changed color, and their originally expectant gazes became hesitant.
The difference between most chief gods and ordinary rulers lies only in the power of their will.
Without the power of will, their strength would be greatly reduced.
"Furthermore, before your souls reach the Golden Core stage, you cannot take human form in the God Realm; you can only exist in your original form," Jage said.
The gods' expressions changed again; many of them were not ordinary races.
"In the realm of the gods..."
Jag continued speaking, recounting all the basic information about the divine realm. The gods listened, their expressions changing repeatedly.
Initially, they were full of expectations for the divine realm and wanted to go there to continue their training and improve their strength. However, after listening to Juggernaut's introduction, some of the main gods had second thoughts.
In the Panlong Universe, they are high above others, but if they go to the God Realm, they will have to start cultivating from the bottom. Many people cannot accept this difference.
"Lord Jag, have you already been to the realm of the gods? Once you're there, can you protect us?" a chief god asked.
The gods all looked at Juggernaut.
They had just witnessed Jag's strength; he was capable of fighting against that great being from the God Realm, and was extremely powerful.
If they could have Juggernaut's protection, things would be much easier for them after they went to the realm of the gods.
Jage said, "I can help if I can, but my strength is not considered strong in the God Realm. As I just said, the God Realm has gods, celestial gods, god kings and even celestial venerables. My strength is only at the peak of the celestial gods, and there are many things I am powerless to do."
The gods remained silent, exchanging glances, many with hesitation and conflict on their faces.
A chief god asked, "Lord Jeg, I wonder if we can ever return after going to the realm of gods?"
If they can easily return after going to the realm of gods, then it wouldn't hurt for them to go and explore.
If the realm of gods is like the supreme plane and the divine plane, where going there is easy but returning is difficult, then they need to think even more carefully.
Jag pondered, "Theoretically, with this spatial passage, we can return. But now that the spatial passage has been exposed, those people from earlier are from a major power in the God Realm. If this spatial passage falls into the hands of other major powers, it will probably not be easy to return."
"This..." The gods frowned.
Jag said, "Whether you go to the realm of gods is your own decision. That's all I can tell you."
Jag turned and flew toward hell.
The gods did not leave.
The four rulers of the rules stood together.
"Olf, what do you say?" Utrecht telepathically asked Olf.
"Me? I'm definitely going," O'F said with a faint smile.
For countless years he had wanted to know what lay beyond the Panlong Universe, and now that he knew of the existence of the God Realm, it was impossible for him not to go.
Auf glanced at the surrounding gods and said calmly, "I know your concerns, but didn't today's events teach you a lesson? The spatial passage has appeared, and it's impossible for us to remain in a corner of the world. If a powerful figure attacked today, it's possible in the future as well. Perhaps the next crisis will be one that even Jeg couldn't resolve."
The gods were all on edge; they had all heard what Juggernaut had said.
Even Juggernaut is only a Celestial God in the God Realm; above him are even stronger God Kings and Celestial Venerables.
Auf's gaze was firm: "Escape is useless. The only way to survive is to go to the realm of gods and keep getting stronger."
After saying that, Auf turned and flew towards Hell. He had decided to go to the realm of the gods, but before that, he wanted to have a good talk with Jag.
As they watched Auf leave, the gods had mixed feelings, each lost in their own thoughts. Auf's words lingered in their minds, and soon the gods departed in twos and threes.
Jeger didn't interfere much with the gods' choices; he had done all he could. As for whether or not to go to the divine realm, he left that to the gods themselves.
Jag's divine avatar returned to Hell, while his true self emerged from the City Lord's residence and headed towards the Inner Palace.
He originally planned to return to the Panlong Universe, but after discovering that the Lord of Tianhuo City had invaded the Panlong Universe, he changed his mind.
The words spoken by the Lord of Tianhuo City kept echoing in his mind.
"You have absolutely no idea what a universe means. If you had told Gongyang Tenglong about the existence of the Panlong Realm earlier, I wouldn't have had a chance at all. But now, even if Gongyang Tenglong knew, it's too late. I'm going to completely enslave the entire Panlong Realm to gain immense merit!"
Jag recalled the words of the Lord of Skyfire City and pondered them.
"What does a universe mean? Merit? Merit that even a god-king level powerhouse cares about?"
Jag realized that there were still many things he didn't know about the divine realm, and the only person who could help him now was Lord Gongyang.
Jeger entered the inner palace and arrived at the courtyard where Lord Gongyang lived, where he happened to see Steward Wu outside the gate.
"Steward Wu, I have important matters to report to Lord Gongyang. Please inform him," said Jagger.
"Ah, it's Mr. Qiao, please wait a moment!" Butler Wu recognized Juggernaut and replied with a smile.
Jage held a high position in the city lord's mansion and was qualified to meet Gongyang Tenglong directly.
"No need, Qiao Jie, come in."
Gongyang Tenglong's voice rang in both Jiege's and Butler Wu's minds at the same time.
Butler Wu opened the courtyard gate, stepped aside, and smiled, "Guest Qiao, please!"
"Thank you, Butler Wu."
Jag stepped in.
In the familiar courtyard, Gongyang Tenglong stood with his hands behind his back, a warm smile on his face.
"George, you just left the Ram Realm, what brings you here? Is there something important you need to tell me?"
Without further ado, Jagger said, "Lord of the City, Lord of Heavenly Fire City is dead."
A calm and composed smile froze on Gongyang Tenglong's face.
"George, you can't joke like that!"
"This is no joke, he really is dead, and he didn't even leave behind his true meaning," Jage said solemnly.
Gongyang Tenglong remained silent, releasing his divine sense to instantly cover Tianhuo City. He did not find the presence of the City Lord, and the entire city was in chaos, with some soldiers in black armor rioting.
"It's the Death Squad!" Gongyang Tenglong recognized the black-armored soldiers as members of the infamous Death Squad of Tianhuo City.
The fact that the absolutely loyal Death Squad has mutinied can only mean two things: either the Death Squad received orders from the Lord of Skyfire City.
The second possibility is that the Lord of Tianhuo City has perished, and the entire Death Legion has regained their freedom, venting their anger at being controlled by souls.
Gongyang Tenglong looked at Jiege: "Qiao Jie, how much do you know? Tell me everything!"
This was precisely the purpose of Jugg's visit. He recounted in detail the appearance of a spatial passage in the White Bird Mine, the Heavenly Fire City Lord leading his subordinates into the Panlong Universe, and the Heavenly Fire City Lord being killed by Primordial Spiritual Qi.
Jag had considered that now that the spatial passage was complete, it was only a matter of time before it was discovered, and the existence of the Panlong Universe could no longer be concealed. Hiding it any longer would be of no use, so the best course of action now was to find a powerful backer.
According to the Lord of Tianhuo City, a universe seems to be extremely important to the major powers in the God Realm, and even a God-King level expert would be a great achievement.
If that's the case, once news of the spatial passage spreads, it will definitely spark a struggle among the major powers of the divine realm.
It's better for the spatial passage to be in the hands of Lord Gongyang City than for it to be obtained by other major powers in the divine realm.
Although Jugger could exploit the instability of the Panlong Universe to deal with other scheming individuals, just as he had done with the Lord of Tianhuo City, this method could only be used once or twice. The major powers of the God Realm were not fools, and they would eventually discover its flaws if it was used too often.
Even with the blessing of the Panlong Universe Will, Jage's current strength is insufficient to deal with so many powerful beings from the God Realm.
It should be known that there are 800 cities in the God Realm alone, and the lord of each city is a God-King. There are also many God-Kings who do not serve as city lords. There are so many powerful beings, not to mention the Heavenly Venerables who are even stronger than God-Kings.
Even without using the complete laws of space and time, a Celestial Venerable powerhouse wielding a Celestial Venerable treasure would be no match for Jeger.
"Gongyang City is backed by the Eastern Pole Holy Emperor, one of the Eight Great Holy Emperors. If we can get the protection of Holy Golden Mountain, it might deter other forces in the God Realm."
Jag explained the situation in detail.
Gongyang Tenglong listened quietly, and when he heard that a spatial passage had appeared in the White Bird Mine, connecting to a universe, his eyes lit up.
After Jugger finished speaking, Gongyang Tenglong immediately released his divine sense, covering the entire divine realm. He discovered the spatial passage of the White Bird Mine and became even more convinced.
He used his divine sense to cover the Holy Golden Mountain in the east and reported the news to the Holy Emperor of the Eastern Pole. Then, he grabbed Jeg's shoulder and used teleportation.
In a flash, Gongyang Tenglong and Jiege appeared at White Bird Mine.
"Qiao Jie, I have already reported to His Majesty the Holy Emperor of the Eastern Pole. If our Eastern Pole Holy Golden Mountain can obtain a piece of outer space this time, it will be a great achievement for both of us!"
As Gongyang Tenglong spoke, he led Jiege into the spatial passage.
In the blink of an eye, the two appeared in the spatial turbulence of the Panlong Universe.
Gongyang Tenglong hovered in the spatial turbulence, his divine sense easily covering the entire Panlong Universe, seeing the four supreme planes, the seven divine planes and countless material planes, as well as the main god avatar of Jage.
"Oh? Qiao Jie, you actually have a clone?" Gongyang Tenglong glanced at Jie Ge with a smile, but didn't say anything more. There are some clone techniques in the God Realm, so it's not surprising.
Gongyang Tenglong used his divine sense to explore the entire Panlong Universe, his gaze growing brighter and brighter.
"good!"
Gongyang Tenglong suddenly cried out excitedly.
"It truly is a universe, and an undiscovered universe at that!"
He patted Jag on the shoulder happily.
"Qiao Jie, you've done a great job this time!"
Looking at Gongyang Tenglong, and recalling that the City Lord of Tianhuo City had also mentioned gaining merit from discovering outer space, Jege couldn't help but ask the question that had been bothering him: "City Lord, is outer space really that precious?"
"Of course it's precious!"
Gongyang Tenglong explained, "Jiege, you know that the realm of gods has 800 cities, right?"
Jag nodded.
Gongyang Tenglong said, "In fact, there are far more than 800 cities in the God Realm. Building a city in the God Realm is not difficult. As long as you set up an array space to stabilize the divine energy for cultivation, you can gather popularity and build a city."
"A God-King level expert can set up a formation to stabilize divine energy. There are many God-King level experts in the God Realm, and naturally there are also those who have built their own cities. However, no matter how many cities there are, only these 800 can be called main cities. The other cities are not even counted, because these 800 cities existed since the beginning of heaven and earth, and each city corresponds to an Ascension Pool!"
"Ascension Pool?"
"That's right. Heaven and earth have created 800 Ascension Pools and 800 cities. Within the territory of my Gongyang City, there is one Ascension Pool."
"There are countless lower realms of the universe. Those beings who have survived the tribulations of gods and ascended to the realm of gods in these universes will appear in the Ascension Pool."
"There are 800 Ascension Pools, each corresponding to a certain number of lower-level universes. For example, the Ascension Pool in Gongyang City also corresponds to many universes. Life forms ascending from these universes will come to Gongyang City and be absorbed by Gongyang City."
Upon hearing this, Jagger suddenly realized what was going on.
"It seems you understand." Gongyang Tenglong smiled. "Each Ascension Pool represents a constant stream of fresh blood. Among these ascendants, there is a possibility that geniuses will emerge who can become gods, god-kings, or even celestial venerables."
"Therefore, all the major powers in the God Realm want to control more Ascension Pools so that they can absorb more geniuses. This is also the reason why the major powers in the God Realm have been fighting each other for many years."
"Now, all 800 Ascension Pools have owners, and the lower universe spaces corresponding to the Ascension Pools are also under the control of various forces. However, the Panlong Realm you mentioned is not within the universe spaces corresponding to the 800 Ascension Pools. This means that whichever force controls the spatial passage of the White Bird Mine will possess the geniuses of the Panlong Realm."
Gongyang Tenglong looked at Jiege excitedly: "Qiao Jie, if you can successfully master the spatial passage of the White Bird Mine this time, you will definitely receive a reward from the Holy Golden Mountain, and you might even have the opportunity to cultivate in the Holy Emperor's Cave!"
"The Holy Emperor's Grotto?" Jage was taken aback.
Gongyang Tenglong explained, "The so-called Cave Heaven is a space independent of the God Realm, somewhat similar to my Gongyang Realm, but more stable and solid. Even among Heavenly Venerable experts, only a very few can possess a Cave Heaven. The Holy Emperor Cave Heaven is a Cave Heaven possessed by Heavenly Venerable experts of the eight Holy Emperor lineages."
The God Realm of the Hongmeng Universe is different from that of the Linmeng Universe. The power of the God Realm in the Linmeng Universe is mainly composed of the native power of the God Realm, namely the power of the Eight Great Holy Emperors. The power of the ascendants is relatively weaker, so there is also competition among the Eight Great Holy Emperors.
However, in the Hongmeng Universe God Realm, the power of the ascended beings had long surpassed that of the native God Realm forces. Therefore, the eight Holy Emperor forces had long since united to advance and retreat together.
The Holy Emperor's Grotto is a sacred land jointly created by the eight Holy Emperor forces of the Hongmeng Universe God Realm.
"In the Holy Emperor's Grotto, not only is the flow of time faster than in my Gongyang Realm, but you also have the opportunity to receive guidance from powerful Heavenly Venerables, which will greatly benefit your cultivation," Gongyang Tenglong said.
Jag wasn't thinking about such distant matters at the moment; he was somewhat worried: "Lord City Lord, Skyfire City has discovered this outer space. Won't the 'Myriad Fire Sect' behind them try to seize it?"
Gongyang Tenglong said with a faint smile, "Tianhuo City is in chaos right now. The death squad that was previously controlled by souls has now regained its freedom and is retaliating. I don't think the Wanhuo Sect will receive the news so quickly."
Upon hearing this, Jergi couldn't help but think of Peng Chi.
Peng Chi was controlled by the soul of the City Lord of Tianhuo and became a member of the Death Squad.
The Lord of Tianhuo City was killed by the Primordial Spiritual Energy, and his third-rate Primordial Spiritual Treasure, the "Hundred Gods Diagram," was also reduced to nothingness by the Primordial Spiritual Energy. Those who were controlled by the Hundred Gods Diagram were naturally freed.
"I hope Peng Chi is alright." Jeg couldn't go to Skyfire City at the moment, so he could only pray for Peng Chi's safety.
Gongyang Tenglong continued, "However, it's only a matter of time before the Wanhuo Sect finds out about this spatial passage. But we're not afraid. The Wanhuo Sect has a Celestial Venerable, and so does our Eastern Pole Holy Golden Mountain. I've already reported the situation to the Eastern Pole Holy Emperor. If the Celestial Venerable from the Wanhuo Sect takes action, our Celestial Venerable from the Eastern Pole Holy Golden Mountain will not stand idly by."
Jag secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Moreover, what you just mentioned about the Primordial Ocean of Spiritual Energy is quite interesting. Although the space in other universes in the lower realm is not as stable as that in the God Realm, it does not affect the God King or Heavenly Venerable from exerting their strength. I did not expect that there would be such a restriction here. If that Heavenly Venerable of the Myriad Fire Sect were unaware of this and used his methods, he would be swallowed up and perish by the Primordial Ocean of Spiritual Energy. That would be great news for our Eastern Pole Holy Golden Mountain." Gongyang Tenglong said with a smile.
"Alright, let's go back. We need to quickly arrange for the army to be stationed at the White Bird Mine, and truly bring this space under the control of our Eastern Pole Holy Golden Mountain."
As Gongyang Tenglong spoke, he was about to lead Jiege back into the spatial passage.
Just then, a flash of fire appeared in the spatial passage, and a red figure flew out from it.
It was an old man with red hair, wearing dark red armor and a fiery red cloak. He had a rugged appearance, with flames rising in his eyes, giving the impression of being extremely irritable.
He stepped out of the spatial passage, and the various elements in the surrounding spatial turbulence were squeezed apart, leaving only the red fire element surrounding him.
Gongyang Tenglong's expression changed drastically when he saw the red-haired old man, and he quickly retreated with Jiege.
Seeing this, the red-haired old man remained indifferent, offering no resistance. He glanced around and muttered to himself, "Could that brat Tianhuo have perished here?"
Gongyang Tenglong shielded Jiege behind him, staring at the red-haired old man as if facing a formidable enemy.
"Lord City Lord, who is he?" Jage asked telepathically.
"The Celestial Venerable of Ten Thousand Fires, that Celestial Venerable expert from the Ten Thousand Fires Sect," Gongyang Tenglong said in a deep voice.
Jeremiah was shocked. He hadn't expected that the Celestial Venerable of the Myriad Fire Sect would receive the news so quickly and arrive in the Panlong Universe.
