The divine horse of Shen Jun continued to neigh, and the wheels of the "mining" car rolled forward.

Hundreds of shuttles moved in unison from the south, stopping neatly in the sky above the dome.

In an instant, the sky was filled with the light of retracting treasures.

A team of elite celestial soldiers appeared in the sky, wearing silver armor and holding long spears, men and women standing side by side in neat rows.

More than a hundred celestial experts appeared from various places, shaking the great path and revealing a fierce light, all locking their sights on the god of sleep sent by the Heavenly Palace.

This made the god of sleep frowned and secretly took a few steps back.

The god laughed, "The Human Realm wouldn't make things difficult for a small god who came for peace in the Great Wasteland, would they?"

The Celestial Sword Taoist and several deputy deities smiled but remained silent.

The god of sleep's fair face was covered in a thin layer of cold sweat, ready to slip away at any moment.

Looking at the sky, the celestial soldiers formed formations, slowly unfolding like a huge firework, containing the changes of the eight trigrams.

Outside the venue, many cultivators wanted to cheer, but felt that the situation was not quite suitable. From the Elemental Immortal to the Heavenly Immortal, everyone was aloof. Occasionally, someone nodded calmly and said "not bad."

The Hissing Snake drove the divine horse-drawn carriage in the sky above the dome for a few laps before landing in the center of the dome.

The aura of the Evil God permeated everywhere, and the cultivators fell silent in an instant.

In the sunlight, under the shabby paint of the carriage, the sparkling brilliance of the precious ore was eye-catching.

Looking at the carriage, the star ore was used as decoration, the blue gold ore as the framework, the floating lotus ore as the carriage board, and the translucent stone as the armrest; and the so-called strongest array material, the white jade marrow, was used as the base, with the simplest floating ban inscribed on it.

Before Wu Wang got on, he also felt a little uneasy in his heart.

It wasn't because he thought it was expensive or anything, but mainly because he was worried... would this thing be radioactive?

"Stop."

The Hissing Snake said coldly, and the two handsome divine horses immediately raised their front hooves, and the carriage hovered half a foot above the ground steadily.

Ji Mo and Lin Qi stood up first and jumped off the carriage from the left side.

The two of them were in a very good mood, and by following Wu Wang, they had already gained enough attention. The upcoming occasion was not something that the two young juniors could meddle in.

The Hissing Snake stepped down from the right side, and his gaze fell on the god of sleep.

It was just a hair's breadth away from the god of sleep fleeing!

The Hissing Snake said calmly, "Master, we have arrived."

"En," Wu Wang responded and stood up calmly.

Ling Xiaolan stood up with him, the short sword in her hand turned in a circle, holding the sword behind her back with both hands, her almond eyes showing a hint of a smile, but it was indescribably charming.

The green bird flapped its wings and dropped the two figures, one large and one small, behind the carriage, standing on the shoulders of the Great Immortal.

"Master Wuwang!"

"Celestial Sword Brother!"

The Celestial Sword Taoist greeted with a group of people, and Wu Wang greeted them with a smile, calling them brothers and deputy deities non-stop, and the scene suddenly became lively and harmonious.

Following that, the more than one hundred experts of the Human Realm landed on the dome, vaguely surrounding the god of sleep; and the large number of celestial soldiers brought by Wu Wang had already blocked the Heavenly Palace and the envoys of the hundred races.

Tens of thousands of celestial soldiers shouted in unison, under the command of the twelve Transcendent experts, they all raised a light barrier, forming an immense array.

Blocking the heavens and earth, shielding the divine sense.

At this moment, Wu Wang's gaze fell on the god of sleep, with a hint of playfulness in his eyes, not hiding his hostility towards the god.

The god of sleep's expression instantly collapsed, muttering "bitter, bitter" under his breath.

This show of strength was truly powerful.

The god of sleep seemed to be very wary of Wu Wang, and the first thing he said was:

"Master Wuwang, let me say this first!

If you really want to keep me here, cough, my great path will also be taken back by the Heavenly Palace, and there will soon be a new god of sleep.

Although my abilities are lowly and my divine powers are shallow, as long as I have the intention, hmm... I can curse the mortals of the Human Realm to sleepless nights.

At worst, it will be a fish dying and the net breaking!"

Wu Wang's expression didn't change much, looking up and down at this innate god, he smiled and said:

"It seems that you are deliberately belittling yourself.

Why do I see the Great Path of Sleep as having endless changes?

It can weave dreams silently, deceive the six senses of living beings, and annihilate a large army invisibly;

It can also make the Human Realm experts in a large area fall into a deep sleep during a battle, instantly reversing the strength of the battle.

With such strong divine powers, do you really have the nerve to say that your abilities are lowly?

If your abilities are lowly, then the lifespan path of the Deputy Deity of Lifespan is probably just so-so."

As Wu Wang's voice fell, the Human Realm experts around him became spirited, and their gazes gathered on the plump face of the god of sleep.

This god shook his head and sighed with a smile:

"They all say that Master Wuwang is very cunning and difficult to deal with. Now that I've seen it, I realize that it's not just comforting the Deputy Deity of Lifespan.

But you don't have to worry, I, the god of sleep, am not good at fighting, this is something that all the gods of the Heavenly Palace know.

If you don't believe it, you can ask the Evil God behind you."

This plump god of sleep was just one step away from hanging a sign saying "harmless to humans and animals" on himself.

Wu Wang looked at the Hissing Snake, who immediately nodded, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

The god of sleep chuckled and gave Wu Wang a thumbs up, "I didn't expect that betraying the Heavenly Palace would only take three and a half years. Master Wuwang's methods have truly opened my eyes."

But Wu Wang didn't respond, instead smiling and calling out, "Come."

More than a dozen Transcendent experts immediately surged forward, surrounding the god of sleep.

The god of sleep was a little nervous and said, "What do you mean by this?"

Wu Wang's gaze was full of sincerity, and he said seriously:

"Please hand over your divine weapon and accept the restrictions set by the seniors. I, as a junior in the Elemental Immortal realm, really can't afford to provoke you.

If I have been rude, please bear with me. It's just that I have only recently started cultivating, and I'm not good at direct combat.

After all, you are an innate god. If you were to make a close-range move, wouldn't my life be in danger?

This is just a measure to protect my own life, and has nothing to do with the Human Realm's courage."

The god of sleep frowned and stared at Wu Wang, then shook his head and sighed lightly:

"I thought Master Wuwang was a hero of the era, but I didn't expect that he's just a coward.

What else can I say to you? Let you have a good sleep?"

Wu Wang said, "I only have one life, so I dare not be negligent.""I really have walked into a dragon's den; how nice it would be to just sleep peacefully!"

The Sleep God stamped his foot and shook his head, dragging out from his bosom... a golden, elongated pillow.

This pillow exuded a strong Daoist charm; a single glance would make one drowsy, and a second look would draw out all the accumulated fatigue in one's body, making one long to lie down and sleep soundly on it.

More than a dozen Transcendent realm experts immediately became alert, simultaneously casting a barrier to guard against any sudden moves from the Sleep God.

The Sleep God said with a wry smile:

"Everyone, I have never participated in any major battles against the Human Realm.

Although I was born before the ancient wars of the gods, I am known throughout the heavens and earth for being non-confrontational.

The Heavenly Palace sent me here because I have not stained my hands with the blood of any beings from the Human Realm..."

A Transcendent reached out to grab the Sleep God's pillow. The Sleep God instinctively clutched the other end, refusing to let go, entangling with the elderly Transcendent.

With a bit more force, the Transcendent snatched the pillow away.

The Sleep God's eyes became lifeless, his whole demeanor somewhat off.

"You better take good care of it and not dirty it!"

Many cultivators from the Human Realm chuckled secretly, but Wu Wang felt a sense of alarm and began to inquire about the Sleep God with his mother.

His mother's answer was somewhat hurtful.

"I haven't paid much attention, but I have indeed felt his Daoist charm."

Cang Xue's gentle voice flowed from the bottom of Wu Wang's heart: "However, it's always right to be more cautious. A congenital god who survived the ancient wars is certainly no ordinary foe."

"Understood," Wu Wang replied in his heart, "Thanks for the reminder, Mother."

Cang Xue said: "What's there to be polite about? You don't need to worry too much about your surroundings; I will keep an eye out for you."

Wu Wang immediately showed a slight smile, feeling much more at ease in his Daoist heart.

Then he heard the Celestial Sword Taoist speak in a calm voice: "As long as the Sleep God does not act out of line today, the Human Realm will not trouble you."

After speaking, he still looked at Wu Wang uneasily.

Wu Wang smiled and said: "Since Brother Dao has spoken thus, we naturally will not cause trouble without reason."

"Alright then."

The Sleep God spread his hands and retracted his divine aura.

More than a dozen experts acted at the same time, casting various restrictions, and the aura of the Sleep God diminished further.

"Please."

Wu Wang gestured with an inviting hand and glanced at the Hissing Snake, sending a telepathic message through the divine incantation: "Keep an eye on those accompanying guests; if there's any anomaly, act first and ask later."

The Hissing Snake bowed to acknowledge the order, its gaze falling on the group of envoys from the various tribes, frightening several young girls into losing their color.

...

The venue for the negotiations was deliberately left without a canopy.

This was specifically requested by Liu Bairen to prevent the Heavenly Palace from playing any tricks and later releasing news detrimental to the Human Realm.

They slightly modified the training ground at the dome's top, erected screens to block the wind, laid a carpet, and arranged several rows of seats, thus creating the meeting place.

Wu Wang sat in the main seat, with the Sleep God arranged in the guest seat, the two facing each other, separated by over a hundred zhang.

The envoys from the various tribes were placed to the left of Wu Wang, and an equal number of Human Realm experts were lined up to his right; the Celestial Sword Taoist and several deputy pavilion masters were positioned right in front of the group of envoys.

With such an arrangement, Wu Wang felt a sense of security.

Ji Mo, Lin Qi, and Ling Xiaolan were not suitable to sit in this place, but considering their backgrounds and Wu Wang's face, they managed to get a seat at the end.

Lin Suqing and Mu Daxian, with the Azure Bird, mingled among the experts. Lin Suqing took out a cloth bag and began to roast some spiritual fruit seeds into melon seeds.

She shelled them herself, while Mu Daxian and the Azure Bird ate with great enjoyment.

"Cough!"

Wu Wang cleared his throat, and across two long tables and a hundred zhang, he saluted the Sleep God with cupped hands, his voice spreading throughout the dome.

"The enmity between the Heavenly Palace and the Human Realm has a long history, and it's no exaggeration to call each other mortal enemies.

This time, the Heavenly Palace has sent an envoy and spoken words of peace; may I ask what exactly are your intentions?"

He got straight to the point, cutting to the chase.

The Sleep God first bowed his head and yawned, dragging out a long "Hmm" before finally saying:

"It can be said that we seek a stable coexistence with the Human Realm, rather than peace.

After all, in the current situation of heaven and earth, it is the Heavenly Palace that holds the advantage, a point the Human Realm must acknowledge."

Wu Wang smiled and said: "Is it really the Heavenly Palace that holds the advantage?

In the battle of the Southeastern Realm, three congenital gods, including the God of Thunderstorms, fell, and the Heavenly Palace's guards were annihilated. The Heavenly Palace suffered a significant defeat."

The Sleep God's mouth twitched a few times, then he said with a smile:

"Speaking of this, I can't help but admire your military prowess.

Feint and reality, reality and feint, each concealing the other, you deceived the Deputy Deity of Lifespan's investigation.

The most brilliant part was your final retreat, leaving from the second translocation formation. Brilliant, truly brilliant."

"There's no need to beat around the bush."

Wu Wang's smile remained as he spoke calmly:

"From the moment you appeared here, I have treated you as an opponent on the same level as the Deputy Deity of Lifespan.

Before you came to the Human Realm, you first established yourself as a discarded god, and deliberately brought your palace and servants, hoping to make the Human Realm underestimate you.

But it seems you have forgotten, daring to come alone to the Human Realm already sets you apart from other congenital gods."

"This, hahaha! Hahaha!"

The Sleep God laughed heartily, then sighed deeply, muttering:

"I'm indeed not any important deity, which is why I was chosen. They think I've been in the Heavenly Palace for these long years without achieving anything, doing nothing, and that's why they sent me out.

You really don't need to be so tense.

You don't like the Deputy Deity of Lifespan, and neither do I. He's different from his gentle past, now forcing us to do this and that every day, and insisting we take turns on duty.

Duty is duty, but the divine power given by the Heavenly Palace now is not much, and the work is particularly dangerous.

I often advise those around me, why serve the Deputy Deity of Lifespan? Will he truly care for us? That's simply impossible.

It's better to drink tea, chat, sleep, and improve relationships. Being a god should be easy, right?

You say, this matter..."

"Get to the point!"Wu Wang forcefully cut off the deity's rambling, "Please focus on the essentials. Why have you come here? Whose message are you delivering, and what is it? Just say that."

The Sleep God pouted, looking pitifully at Wu Wang.

"People don't even let me finish speaking. You're so impatient, young man. This attitude will give you nightmares."

Having said that, he still took out a scroll from his sleeve.

The scroll slowly unfurled, and a divine light flew out from it, condensing into the figure of a middle-aged scholar.

The Deputy Deity of Lifespan.

Wu Wang felt an inexplicable sense of relief in his heart; he had thought that the Heavenly Emperor himself had appeared.

The Deputy Deity of Lifespan's lips moved, his expression shifting from calm to excited, even stamping his feet and waving his long sleeves.

But a gust of north wind blew over, and the dome was quiet.

Many cultivators were slapping their ears, thinking they had suddenly gone deaf.

Wu Wang frowned.

The Sleep God took back the scroll and chuckled:

"You don't need to listen to this voice for now. The Deputy Deity of Lifespan is praising your intelligence; I'll leave this item here for you to listen to later.

Otherwise, in your anger, you might hurt this innocent little deity.

That's the first matter, the Deputy Deity of Lifespan denounces the Human Realm for not obeying the heavenly decree.

Then there's the second matter, the Junior Deity of Lifespan asked me to deliver a gift to Master Wuwang of the Human Realm cultivators."

"A gift?"

Wu Wang couldn't help but frown.

He always felt that the Junior Deity of Lifespan was definitely more difficult to deal with than the Deputy Deity of Lifespan.

The Sleep God chuckled, clapped his hands, and celestial music filled the air. From the heavily guarded palace, several figures flew out, four beautiful women of different races, carrying a lotus flower.

For the full version, visit [ pawℝead.com ].

The cultivators of the Human Realm naturally let them pass, allowing the beautiful women to dance gracefully in the air.

The lotus flower shed its petals, and where the seed pod should have been, a slender figure was curled up.

Accompanied by celestial music and draped in divine light, the curled figure slowly stood up, and from the reflection of the lotus flower, a pair of thin wings gently unfolded, casting the glow of a rainbow.

She wore a mask and danced on the lotus platform to the celestial music, her graceful figure immediately attracting the attention of everyone present.

Wu Wang suddenly spoke out, "The little princess of the Featherfolk Nation?"

The dancer paused, and the celestial music stopped, the lotus platform hanging in mid-air.

The woman bowed to Wu Wang.

Whether it was the sheer fabric of her tube top and short skirt, the golden threads wrapped around her smooth jade feet, or her figure that had 'completely changed' from three years ago, all revealed the softness and beauty of the woman.

"We meet again, Lord Wuwang."

She raised her hand to remove the mask, deliberately slowing down the process, keeping everyone in suspense.

When the mask was removed, her delicate and pretty face appeared before the cultivators, eliciting silent admiration.

Her willow-leaf eyebrows were not worth mentioning, and her bright eyes and white teeth were not hard to find.

The princess of the Featherfolk Nation was already beautiful, but her sudden appearance here today showed a maturity far beyond her previous self.

The slightly sunken eye sockets, the high nose bridge, all blended harmoniously on her small palm-sized face, complementing each other so naturally, and she had a charm similar to human women yet entirely different.

Ji Mo exhaled softly beside her, calmly sitting up straight.

Though he said nothing, his silence spoke volumes.

Wu Wang's gaze did not linger; it fell on the Sleep God as he coldly said, "What does the Junior Deity of Lifespan mean by this?"

"Isn't it obvious?"

The Sleep God chuckled, winking at Wu Wang, his clean and chubby face full of 'you know what I mean.'

Wu Wang pondered for a moment, understanding the Junior Deity of Lifespan's intentions.

Nothing more than to sow discord.

Merely saying things like 'only Shen Nong and the little golden dragon can stand against the Heavenly Palace in the Human Realm' didn't have much impact.

But if today's events spread throughout the Human Realm, rumors would naturally arise.

【The Human Realm's penchant for gossip has been firmly grasped by the Junior Deity of Lifespan!】

"Please forgive me, but I cannot agree!"

Wu Wang stood up, intending to refuse outright, but as the words reached his lips, a new idea suddenly emerged.

He said, "Could it be that the Junior Deity of Lifespan thinks I, Master Wuwang, am a lecherous person who would forsake righteousness for personal desires?"

"How can you say that?"

The Sleep God laughed, "When I came, the Junior Deity of Lifespan said that the Featherfolk Nation is too close to the Human Realm. It would be better to promote a marriage alliance between the Featherfolk Nation and the Human Realm, so that the Featherfolk Nation can later avoid being affected by war and live peacefully in the southeastern region.

It also shows our Heavenly Palace's determination to seek a way to coexist with the Human Realm.

Lord Wuwang, it's cold outside; why don't you let the beauty come inside first, hahaha!"

"I think the Junior Deity of Lifespan wants to plant a spy in the Human Realm!"

The Celestial Sword Taoist timely spoke up to help Wu Wang, "Even if Lord Wuwang is soft-hearted and agrees, the Benevolent Emperor Pavilion will not allow this. Please take this woman back to the Heavenly Palace, or else!"

Clang!

The Celestial Sword Taoist drew his sword from its sheath, saying indifferently, "I am not one to pity or spare women for their beauty."

A strand of sword energy passed by, leaving a slight trace of blood on the neck of the Featherfolk Nation's little princess, who quickly crouched down.

"What's this?"

The Sleep God frowned, muttering, "Why are you people of the Human Realm so stubborn? Don't make things so tense."

"Is there a third matter?"

Wu Wang spoke firmly, "If not, leave the scroll and you may go."

"Of course, there is. The first two were just appetizers."

The Sleep God stood up, took out another blue scroll from his sleeve, held it high with both hands, and proclaimed loudly, "The will of the great and wise master of order is here!

All beings between heaven and earth, Wu Wang of the Human Realm, receive the decree!"

Wu Wang stood still, everyone frowning.

The Sleep God hurriedly said, "Just listen, whether you bow or not is none of my concern. I'm not so arrogant as to use the name of the Heavenly Palace to pressure you. Let's not be so formal, I don't want you to just draw your sword and cut me down!"

Wu Wang: ...

The cultivators: ...

The Celestial Sword Taoist shouted angrily, "Read it quickly!"

"Ah, the content is actually very simple."

The Sleep God spoke to himself, opening the scroll, and golden characters flew out from within, forming a beam of golden light that fell on Wu Wang, enveloping him.

This was...

An imperial edict!

The Heavenly Palace was bestowing a title!
