Chapter 175 – Disaster in the Heavenly Palace!

"Is the Heavenly Palace too overbearing?"

At this moment, Wu Wang, disguised as the Star God, was eavesdropping in a corner of the divine court.

The Deputy Deity of Lifespan was still speaking politely, talking about the recent fluctuations in "divine power" in the Heavenly Palace, resembling a performance report given by an executive at a shareholders' meeting.

Search "pawℝead.com" for the original.

Wu Wang heard words like "Divine Pool" and "Divine Light," but he didn't understand what the Deputy Deity of Lifespan was specifically referring to.

But at this moment, relying on his perception of the rules of the Great Dao, the more Wu Wang sensed, the more shocked and fearful he became.

In the Human Realm, the atmosphere was vibrant and optimistic. When cultivators discussed the Heavenly Palace, they casually mentioned the "Heavenly Emperor" and the "Deputy Deity of Lifespan," speaking with authority.

As if they could overthrow the Heavenly Emperor tomorrow.

But does the Human Realm truly understand the Heavenly Palace?

Wu Wang pondered carefully.

Either the high-level figures in the Human Realm deliberately concealed the true strength of the Heavenly Palace, or the senior predecessors themselves only had a superficial understanding of the Heavenly Palace.

Take the current divine court meeting, for example.

The magnificent halls and the blurry figures seen here were all based on the "Great Dao."

[The Great Dao forms a network, with divine thoughts constantly exchanging within it;

The Sky Gods do not need language; language is only Wu Wang's own perception, his understanding of these divine thoughts.]

The fact that Wu Wang found somewhat difficult to accept was that there were hundreds of Great Daos intersecting in this place.

Hundreds of them!

Wu Wang almost cursed out loud!

According to the rules of the divine court:

[The Sky Gods represent the Great Dao, and these Great Daos are the "divine positions" of the Sky Gods.

The Sky Gods can be replaced, but the positions of the Great Daos in this place will not change.

If more than half of the Sky Gods do not simultaneously choose to withdraw from the Great Dao, then the divine court can suppress and replace any Sky Gods with dissenting intentions, and select a new deity for that Great Dao.]

This rule is the foundation of Emperor Di Shun's rule over the Sky Gods.

The "Heavenly Emperor Di Shun," who was constantly mentioned by cultivators in the Human Realm as if he were already finished, was the one who established these rules.

These hundreds of Sky Gods were not always active. At this moment, most of the Great Daos were in a dormant state.

Most of them were ancient gods who survived the ancient god wars and knew how difficult it was to deal with the exiled gods. Therefore, they accumulated divine power while in slumber.

They rotated in fixed positions in the Heavenly Palace every ten thousand years.

No wonder the Heavenly Palace didn't care about the sacrifice of a few minor gods.

[The paths of those minor gods are not qualified to appear in this place;

The Evil Gods are just powerful individuals. Their paths are encompassed by the Great Daos here, and they have only accepted the power bestowed by these Great Daos, becoming ordinary tool gods.]

Under the hundreds of Great Daos, Wu Wang sensed eleven Great Daos, which symbolized eleven powerful beings.

Among them, the most powerful Great Dao was something Wu Wang couldn't depict or understand at this moment.

It encompassed Yin and Yang, stood upon the Five Elements, and comprehended everything in the heavens and earth.

It was the ruler, the controller of the Dao, the will of the heavens.

The path of Emperor Di Shun.

Surrounding this path were the principles of the sun and moon, and it governed the birth of the Sun Goddess Xi He and the Moon Goddess Chang Yi. The resonance between the two goddesses and the path of Emperor Di Shun gave birth to the ten suns and the twelve months.

This was the Heavenly Emperor and Empress of the Heavenly Palace.

Beyond them, there were two other Great Daos, the "Lifespan Dao" and the "Fertility Dao," controlled by the Deputy Deity of Lifespan and the Junior Deity of Lifespan. The resonance between the two controlled the life and death of all living beings.

Because all living beings relied on the heavens and earth, they couldn't survive without the sun and moon. Therefore, the Deputy Deity of Lifespan and the Junior Deity of Lifespan served as ministers, while Emperor Di Shun, Xi He, and Chang Yi served as the rulers.

There were also three Great Daos that ran parallel to the "Lifespan" and "Fertility" paths, but these were the three original paths - Wood, Metal, and Earth.

Wu Wang understood this.

The path of water, as well as the powerful combat path of ice that the Candling Dragon God lineage represented, was one side.

The path of fire was forcibly taken away because the Sui Ren Clan slaughtered the Fire God.

Beyond these eight Great Daos, there were three Great Daos slightly further from the path of Emperor Di Shun. They were the Star God's Stellar Dao, the Queen Mother of the West's Heavenly Punishment Dao, and a somewhat obscure and dim Great Dao that emitted a hint of ominousness.

It seemed to symbolize the path of death.

Birth, lifespan, death - these three paths were interconnected, seemingly the "products" of the division of the path of living beings.

This was the core Great Dao system of the Heavenly Palace.

The Fire Dao that Senior Shen Nong mastered had eleven opponents that were on par with him.

Even if the path of the Star God was excluded, and the Queen Mother of the West was considered neutral, Senior Shen Nong still had to face nine opponents alone.

Of course, these nine great gods were only high-ranking in terms of Great Dao levels, and it didn't mean they were skilled in combat. The Fire Dao had a relative advantage in terms of destructiveness and combat power, which was also a source of frustration for the Heavenly Palace.

The human race controlling the Fire Dao only gave them the qualification to challenge the Heavenly Palace.

Looking at it from another perspective, among the hundreds of Great Daos surrounding these eleven Great Daos, there were also some with the power to fight against the Fire Dao.

For example, what Wu Wang sensed at this moment, the somewhat violent Thunder Dao and Wind Dao, had destructive power that was not inferior to the Fire Dao.

[The hierarchy of divine authority does not equate to the strength of combat power.]

This rule of the Heavenly Palace was indeed quite troublesome for Wu Wang.

The divine court meeting was just a reflection of the order in the Heavenly Palace; the intertwining of these hundreds of Great Daos formed the seal of the heavens and earth, the current order of the heavens and earth.

This was the Emperor Di Shun God lineage.How should the senior fight?

Wu Wang pondered slightly in his heart, but he didn't feel any despair.

After all, he hadn't seen the true strength of the human race yet, and from the surface, the Heavenly Palace was also extremely wary of the Human Realm.

To overthrow the Heavenly Palace was actually to overthrow the order of the Great Wasteland. What they needed to do was not simply to slaughter gods, but to rearrange and construct a new order with these hundreds of great paths.

As difficult as reaching the heavens.

Following that, Wu Wang thought of another question.

The divine war back then was not won directly by Emperor Di Shun, but rather Emperor Di Shun and the current gods drove out the Candling Dragon divine lineage. At that time, Emperor Di Shun's divine lineage only had a slight advantage.

In other words...

The innate gods that Wu Wang currently sensed had a group of beings outside the heavens with overall strength comparable to them.

What kind of path could contend with these hundreds of great paths?

Chaos? Disorder? Slaughter?

And the Goddess of Fate, bah!

At this moment, Wu Wang, as a member of the human race, felt a bit suffocated. The Human Realm seemed prosperous, but it was actually struggling to survive in the midst of the struggle between the two major divine lineages.

Why did Sui Ren Shi end up in Zhongshan back then, but had no choice but to return to Nanye?

Why did Fu Xi Shi possess an unprecedented "military force," but could only sigh in the face of the north?

The Heavenly Palace had always been consuming the resources of the Human Realm with the savage beast group they cultivated, consuming the strength of the Human Realm's limited number of powerful beings with limited lifespan, and causing disturbances in the Human Realm with the Ten Evil Gods. In fact, they simply didn't want to directly confront the Fire Path, resulting in the loss of their core combat power and being unable to resist the counterattack of the Candling Dragon divine lineage.

His own mother, Cang Xue, should not only be here to ambush and severely injure the Star God. She must have another mission - choosing the right time.

The best time for the Candling Dragon divine lineage is when the Heavenly Palace and the Human Realm engage in a full-scale war, with important gods from the Heavenly Palace falling.

With the three forces intertwined, how could there be any genuine cooperation?

Wu Wang:...

He already felt a bit tired before even starting a serious game with the Heavenly Palace.

What should he do?

Does the senior believe in fate?

Wu Wang silently stopped his perception. At this moment, the divine consciousness of the Deputy Deity of Lifespan also suppressed other divine consciousness and began to give orders.

The words that the divine consciousness of the Deputy Deity of Lifespan deciphered in Wu Wang's heart were as follows:

"The Lord Star God is here today, and I believe there is no need for me to say much. The Great Path of Stars is unharmed.

As you all have heard before, the Candling Dragon divine lineage is becoming restless. In just the past thousand years, they have attacked the seal of heaven and earth more than six thousand eight hundred times. Their return is inevitable."

Wu Wang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. This should be the main reason why the Heavenly Palace wants to take action against the Human Realm.

The abnormality of the Star God before was actually the last straw that broke the camel's back. Looking at the current situation of the Heavenly Palace, when the camel falls, it doesn't want to stand up again. Instead, it wants to "make a clean break."

The divine consciousness of the Deputy Deity of Lifespan continued:

"The Fire Path has been lost in Nanye for a long time. In order to fight against the Candling Dragon, we must reclaim this path as soon as possible.

We have waited for a long time before. We originally wanted to exterminate the creatures in Nanye after the death of Shen Nong Shi, but Shen Nong Shi refined the Elixir of Life, increasing his lifespan by a thousand years.

This is not a mistake or omission on our part, but a conspiracy of a certain god.

By His Majesty's order, within sixty years, the Heavenly Palace will gradually destroy the power of the Human Realm in Nanye.

The reason for gathering everyone here is because the Heavenly Palace needs to mobilize sixty-nine great paths to bring seven disasters and six calamities to the Human Realm.

The seven disasters are drought, flood, fire, wind, earthquake, cold, and scorching.

The six calamities are insects, plague, soldiers, battles, gu, and demons.

The Ten Evil Gods will be the vanguard, and the gods of the Heavenly Palace will be the support. The Heavenly Palace will use its full strength to reclaim the Fire Path of the Human Emperor and bring it back to this place..."

...

Half an hour later.

Wu Wang's consciousness returned to his true form as the Star God, blocking the connection between the Great Path of Stars and the Divine Court, no longer accepting the divine consciousness transmitted by those great paths.

The feeling of exhaustion came again, and he quickly withdrew from his Star God avatar and returned to his true form.

In the flying shuttle, Wu Wang opened his eyes and looked at Celestial Sword Taoist beside him. He wanted to speak, but didn't know how to express himself.

He had thought about intervening in the proceedings of the Divine Court, but although the Star God held a high position in the Emperor Di Shun's divine lineage, he was detached from the power of the Heavenly Palace.

It was precisely because of the Star God's "uniqueness" that she was ambushed by her mother, Cang Xue, and the Heavenly Palace failed to discover it in time.

Similarly, the Star God couldn't speak up and interfere with the Heavenly Palace's decisions during the Divine Court's proceedings.

"What's wrong?"

Celestial Sword Taoist asked in confusion, "Why does your face suddenly look so bad? Did your injuries relapse?"

"No, it's nothing."

Wu Wang raised his hand and patted Celestial Sword Taoist's shoulder, sighing, "Eat and drink as you please. If there's anything that's bothering you, tell me. Brother, don't be too hard on yourself."

"Oh?"

Celestial Sword Taoist furrowed his brows and said in a gentle voice, "Wu Wang, could it be... that your divine soul is in chaos?"

Mu Da Xian and Lin Suqing almost burst out laughing.

"You're the one with a chaotic divine soul!"

Wu Wang's mouth twitched slightly, sighing, "I suddenly thought that in the upcoming war between the Human Realm and the Heavenly Palace, your sword might have to charge into battle. Being too rigid will lead to breaking, and I'm afraid that once you charge out, you won't be able to come back."

"Haha!"

Celestial Sword Taoist waved his hand and laughed heartily, saying, "Instead of worrying about that, focus on how to kill the Evil Gods."

Speaking of this, Celestial Sword Taoist also sighed.

Wu Wang:...

It's not just the matter of a dozen cities anymore.

The Heavenly Palace has already finished their meeting and wants to uproot the Human Realm!Not only that, the Heavenly Palace will also repeatedly exert pressure, gradually dividing the internal forces of the Human Realm. People like Lin Qi's father, Lin Nu Hao, who have such personalities, are prone to problems.

Seven disasters and six calamities, seven disasters and six calamities!

Wu Wang took out a jade talisman, held it in his palm and pondered carefully, then put the jade talisman down.

He sighed and said, "I am feeling a bit troubled now. Let me have a few quiet days... Send me back to the Annihilation Sect. I won't distract myself with the matter of the Evil God for now. There are more important things to do."

"Alright."

Celestial Sword Taoist's eyes were filled with a hint of guilt as he whispered, "To be honest, Master has become somewhat reliant on you, Wu Wang. The burden on your shoulders is too heavy. Take a rest first, and when you're ready, come back. Otherwise, shall we return to the North Wilderness? If Master blames us, I can take the responsibility."

Wu Wang shook his head and wrote a paragraph in the jade talisman, sealing it with his mana.

He said, "Make sure to deliver this item to the Emperor of Humans. Don't let it fall into the hands of others. It's of great importance, even Liu Gezhuo should not pry into it."

"Understood!"

Celestial Sword Taoist took the jade talisman and added several layers of seals.

Ling Xiaolan asked, "Brother Wu Wang, is there trouble in the Human Realm?"

"Well... it's not a big trouble."

Wu Wang smiled and looked out of the small window of the flying shuttle, saying, "It's finally a battle."

Everyone was confused by Wu Wang's unusual behavior and had some doubts.

It took nine days to return.

Wu Wang held some jade talismans and wrote and revised them. No one knew what he wrote inside.

It was the same when he returned to the Annihilation Sect.

Wu Wang didn't disturb anyone other than the Great Elder. He only greeted the Great Elder and exchanged a few words before locking himself in the main hall of the sect, starting another closed-door cultivation.

He was working on some techniques.

Techniques that could be popularized among the mortals in the Human Realm, allowing them to save themselves in the upcoming continuous disasters.

When the seven disasters and six calamities struck, the numerous mortals in the Human Realm would be the first to be unable to withstand them.

Cultivators could practice Inedia, but mortals needed food.

To resist droughts and floods, it was the best choice to use the power of cultivators to build water conservancy projects.

To resist earthquakes, improving the structure of houses was also a pressing matter.

There were many other things to consider.

The Heavenly Palace was not specifically targeting mortals, wanting to annihilate them. They only wanted to destroy the living beings in the South Wilderness, and mortals were also part of the living beings.

Half a month after Wu Wang returned to the Human Realm, he had filled over sixty jade talismans with strategies he could think of.

He ordered someone to invite Celestial Sword Taoist to come and present these jade talismans to the Emperor of Humans.

"Go out and get some fresh air."

Wu Wang muttered to himself, glanced at Lin Suqing who was meditating in the inner cave, and didn't go to disturb her.

He walked along the narrow stone path above the lotus pond and opened the two thick doors.

Wu Wang examined himself internally and found that under the effect of several healing pills, his spiritual platform was no longer injured, and his vitality was approaching perfection, ready to take that step at any time.

To become an immortal.

"Hmm?"

Wu Wang crossed the white jade arch bridge in front of the door and turned around a protrusion on the side of the mountain. He saw a group of cultivators gathered at the pavilion ahead, whispering to each other.

Within this group of cultivators, Mao Aowu, Yang Wudi, and Zhang Moshan were squatting there, each sighing in their own way.

Mu Da Xian held his little arm, his face also a bit serious, seemingly still pondering.

"What's going on?"

Wu Wang's voice came, and everyone quickly straightened up and turned to bow to Wu Wang.

"Greetings, Sect Master!"

"Sect Master, look," Yang Wudi shouted, "Mu Da Xian caught a strange bird!"

Wu Wang frowned slightly, took a step forward, and saw a dead bird lying in the pavilion. Its feathers were mixed in color, resembling an owl at first glance, but its face was extremely strange, almost human-like, and it had four eyes.

When Wu Wang saw this bird, he felt a slight discomfort.

"Sect Master," a True Immortal whispered, "this bird is very similar to the rumored Yu Bird... It is said that when this creature appears, there will be a severe drought, which is an ominous sign."

Wu Wang nodded slightly and said in a calm voice, "Burn this creature. Don't discuss it."

"Yes!"

The group of cultivators all received the order.

Wu Wang sighed softly, his gaze complicated as he regained his focus on the narrow sky of the rift.

Before long, Wu Wang shook his head and smiled.

It was extremely difficult for living beings to establish themselves in the world.

Not only in the Human Realm, but also in the Blue Star where he was in his previous life, generations had struggled against nature, creating a brilliant civilization.

To be able to shout slogans of harmonious coexistence with nature, didn't it indicate that people had the power to threaten nature?

What about the Human Realm?

Although there were cultivation methods and the power to surpass nature, nature also had its divine extensions, wanting to extinguish the fire of cultivation.

Wu Wang sighed softly.

The Human Realm was like this.

The Human race was like this.

And he was like this.

"The heavens are vigorous, the earth is tranquil."

"My own path is also the original path of heaven and earth. If the original path of heaven and earth is not enough, then my path shall replace it."

"Between heaven and earth, the Immortal of Humans shall stand."

As Wu Wang's words fell, layers of Dao rhyme emanated from him, and his long hair and wide robe gently floated, with stars twinkling in his eyes.Temporarily severing his connection with the origin of the starry universe, Wu Wang buried a strand of his divine soul deep within the Star God's territory. The Golden Elixir within his Qi Sea, already transparent, shattered. Boundless stars surged from his body, transforming the surrounding area of dozens of miles into a dazzling night sky.

Boom!

The sound of thunder echoed, signifying the arrival of heavenly punishment.
