# Chapter 2593: Tai Shang Returns, All Gods Welcome
The wooden boat was dilapidated, with only a mottled rotten wooden mast standing upright, hanging a black canvas sail.
It drifted in a boundless sea of stars. It was unclear whether the star sea was carrying it, or whether it was dragging the entire star sea, causing the stars to revolve around it.
The scene above was bizarre and extraordinary.
The space where the wooden boat was located also seemed near and far, as if it were hanging directly above the Sword South Realm, or as if it were located in some star sea trillions of miles away.
Only the titans within the Divine Realm understood what that ancient boat represented. Legend had it that it was discovered within the River of Time, capable of remaining imperishable in the void, able to cross the Sea Stone Star Dock, perhaps able to go to the past, or perhaps able to reach the future.
And the master of the wooden boat was one of the most legendary ancient existences in the Hell Realm.
After seeing that wooden boat in the star sea, Mofa God King calmed down, walked out of the Divine Temple, respectfully cupped his hands and bowed, saying: "So it is Senior who has arrived. The Hall Master often speaks of you, Elder. I wonder what offense this junior has committed? Please point it out, Senior, and do not be angered."
A being at the God King level was a king within the Divine Realm, able to look down upon all living beings of heaven and earth.
Yet, there were still some terrifyingly ancient monsters that were enough to make them cautious.
An existence that could make Mofa God King bow his head and admit fault after being toyed with numbered no more than ten in the entire Hell Realm. In other words, even the clan leaders of the Ten Great Clans would not make him act like this.
It could only be blamed on Mofa God King's bad luck. Today, he had precisely run into one of them.
"If it weren't for the sake of your Hall Master's face, this Old Fisherman would have pressed you into the water and soaked you for a thousand or eight hundred years." From within the wooden boat, a teasing, aged laugh sounded.
"Old Fisherman, I think you should soak him for a thousand years. Oh, and Xiu Chen as well." Bai Qinger's bright, apricot-like eyes glanced towards Xiu Chen Heavenly God.
Xiu Chen Heavenly God was startled, feeling extremely aggrieved inside.
Who would have thought that a new god from the Goddess Twelve Pavilions would have such a terrifying backer?
This iron plate was too hard!
It was enough to make even a Divine Realm titan bleed from a kick.
At the same time, it secretly felt relieved. Fortunately, Mofa God King had arrived in time to take the blow for it; otherwise, it would have certainly suffered a great loss today.
"Girl, your performance in this trial was not bad. Since you have already broken through to become a god, you can formally become the Old Fisherman's disciple." The aged voice sounded from within the wooden boat.
Bai Qinger automatically flew out, like a celestial maiden soaring into the sky, drifting gracefully away from the dust and into the clouds, passing through layers of space, and landing on the wooden boat.
"Boom."
Mofa Divine Temple fell from the starry sky, crashing into the sea, raising a hundred-zhang-high giant wave.
"Did you all hear that? The Old Fisherman has a disciple now. From now on, when this disciple acts in the Hell Realm, I will need you all to look after her a little." The voice from the wooden boat chuckled as it spoke.
"The Senior's disciple naturally no one would dare to offend."
The gods below all bowed once more.
It was at this moment that the stars above trembled slightly, scattering wisps of star mist, like white gauze swaying between heaven and earth.
"Oh?"
A sound of surprise came from within the wooden boat.
Standing on the wooden boat, Bai Qinger was astonished to find that the star sea below was rapidly churning. Countless stars arranged themselves into strange patterns.
"Old Fisherman, what is happening? Why are the stars trembling so? Are they deducing something?" Bai Qinger asked.
The stars seemed to possess intelligence, deducing on their own.
"A great event has occurred. Look to the north."
Bai Qinger raised her head and gazed towards the north.
She saw countless rules of heaven and earth transforming into a waterfall, pouring down from the nine heavens above, then turning into a rolling long river, heading west.
At the same time, the Yellow Spring Star River, representing the Hell Realm, flickered on and off.
Within the star river, countless planets ignited, flying through the void, turning into a meteor shower, streaking across the universe. It was unknown how many cultivators of the Hell Realm were annihilated because of this.
Bai Qinger's expression was grave. "Such a powerful fluctuation of Spiritual Power, turning the rules of heaven and earth into a long river, rushing westward at the speed of light. Where it passes, planets burn. The West, the Western Universe is dominated by the Paradise Realm."
"The West not only has the Paradise Realm... Heh, that old fellow from the Kunlun Realm has escaped. The Western Universe is going to be in for a stir! This is a matter between the Destiny Temple and the Paradise Realm, none of our business. Come, let's go fishing. You've just become a god, you need to catch a divine-grade Kun fish to properly nourish yourself and raise your cultivation level."
The wooden boat set sail, carrying the full sky of stars, and in an instant disappeared from the space where the Sword South Realm was located.
The strange phenomena of the Yellow Spring Star River and the rolling torrent of heaven and earth rules heading west caused a huge impact, alarming the gods of the entire universe.
In a universe not far from the Dark Great Triangle Star Domain, Blade Venerable and Death God Venerable separated. The former stood in the darkness. The latter stood proudly above the starry sky.
Blade Venerable stood at the edge of the Dark Great Triangle Star Domain, his body reduced to a mere shadow. He sheathed his blade, his tone deep. "Feng Caiyi, we have both been schemed against. Someone took advantage of your absence to rescue the Tai Shang of the Kunlun Realm. Do you think there is any need to continue fighting?"
Death God Venerable looked back at the rolling long river of Heavenly Dao rules heading west, snorted coldly, transformed into a five-colored phoenix, spread its sky-covering wings, carried its vast divine might, and flew away.
Where the phoenix flew, stars trembled.
After Death God Venerable had gone far, Blade Venerable walked out of the darkness, a trace of divine blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. He muttered to himself: "Ten thousand years unseen, Feng Caiyi's cultivation has advanced to such a level. She is probably only half a step away from that realm."
Blade Venerable's gaze then turned towards the meteor shower flying out from the Yellow Spring Star River, a deeper worry rising in his heart.
That man had been refined by the Destiny Temple for a hundred thousand years, and he still hadn't died?
...
In a five-colored Daoist temple.
A white-bearded old Daoist stood beneath the Ginseng Fruit Divine Tree, gazing at the flickering Yellow Spring Star River. He threw two wooden divination fish to the ground, divining a heavenly opportunity.
Then, he picked up the divination fish, rolled up his Daoist robe, and began to play the zither.
...
The Western Buddha Realm.
On a lotus divine platform sat a golden Buddha body, seventy-two zhang tall, surrounded by Bodhisattvas and Arhats, all listening to him preach the sutras.
Suddenly, the entire Buddha Realm world bloomed with flowers, and spiritual light shone everywhere.
That seventy-two-zhang golden Buddha body, with a pair of Buddha eyes, gazed towards the horizon, as if seeing beyond endless space. A sacred smile appeared on his face. "An old friend returns today. The morning lesson ends here."
...
The Wuding Divine Sea was an important meeting point between the universe where the Heavenly Court was located and the universe where Hell was located. It was also the largest battlefield of the divine war a hundred thousand years ago.
At the end of the Middle Ages, after the Heavenly Court and Hell ceased hostilities, both sides withdrew from the Wuding Divine Sea. For a hundred thousand years, the Hell Realm had been preparing for war, occupying many islands in the divine sea.
The Heavenly Court Realm only held fast to the coastline near the Western Universe.
The Wuding Divine Sea was a sea region suspended in the starry sky, its widest point reaching three hundred billion miles. Even a Great Saint would need decades to cross it. A Saint would spend their entire life flying and still not reach the other shore. It was hundreds or thousands of times larger than a great world.
The sea was filled with countless dangerous places, where ferocious beasts roamed. They drank divine blood to survive, possessed immense strength, could devour stars, and fed on the Saint realm cultivators of the Heavenly Court and Hell.
The long river of heaven and earth rules rushed out from the Yellow Spring Star River, entered the boundless Wuding Divine Sea, churning up a long water trail, heading straight for the Western Universe.
"Splash!"
The rules of heaven and earth condensed into a white jade ship, breaking the waves and moving forward, its speed almost reaching the speed of light, covering hundreds of thousands of miles in every instant.
Qiangu Nüdi stood at the bow of the ship, her bearing heroic and outstanding.
As they were about to reach the coastline of the Western Universe, the white jade ship slowed down.
"Roar!"
A dragon roar sounded, stirring up waves on the sea surface, with lightning and thunder weaving through the clouds.
A divine dragon's head, larger than a mountain, poked out from the clouds, looked at the white jade ship, then transformed into a human form, landed on the sea surface, and bowed respectfully: "Heavenly Dragon Realm, welcoming the Tai Shang's return."
"Western Buddha Realm, welcoming the Tai Shang's return."
"Five Elements Temple, welcoming the Tai Shang's return."
"Pangu Realm, welcoming the Tai Shang's return."
...
One by one, gods appeared in the Wuding Divine Sea, welcoming the white jade ship ahead.
Some were originally stationed in the Wuding Divine Sea, while others had specifically waited here to welcome him.
The Heavenly Palace envoy arrived, holding Hao Tian's Dharma Decree: "Heavenly Palace, welcoming the Tai Shang's return. Hao Tian hopes that the Tai Shang can come to the Heavenly Palace and take charge of the Heavenly Official Divine Seal."
The gods gathered together, jointly welcoming the Tai Shang.
An old man with scattered gray-white hair walked out from the white jade ship. He had three wisps of beard, a refined face full of wrinkles, yet a sturdy physique like a mountain or a giant.
A hundred thousand years ago, the Yunshen Daozhu, known as the number one in Spiritual Power in the universe, appeared before the gods once again.
A legendary figure!
At this moment, an icy divine wind rose on the surface of the Wuding Divine Sea.
Accompanied by a piercing phoenix cry, it spread across the entire sea region.
A huge shadow appeared on the sea surface, engulfing the white jade ship and the gods of the Heavenly Court.
Yunshen Daozhu raised his head and gazed into the distance, waving his hand at the five-colored phoenix phantom in the void. His disheveled hair fluttered in the wind as he laughed: "God Venerable, please return. You are too late!"
The gods guarding the Hell Realm flew together behind the phoenix phantom, transforming into a blood sea, a deathly divine cloud, a bone mountain, a nether light... Their battle intent was surging and immense.
On the shore of the Wuding Divine Sea, the gods of the Heavenly Court Realm also simultaneously released their divine might, transforming into divine lights, confronting the gods of the Hell Realm.
"Let's go!"
An extremely cold female voice came from the phoenix's mouth.
The phoenix phantom gradually faded and dissipated into nothingness.
The gods of the Hell Realm followed and retreated.
Yunshen Daozhu smiled as he looked at the Heavenly Court gods on the sea surface. "This old man still has some personal matters to attend to. All of you, please withdraw. Another day, I will surely visit each realm one by one."
...
At the current stage, it is impossible to write a large-scale divine battle, so the rescue of Yunshen Daozhu is deliberately written briefly.
When the protagonist becomes a god, the Divine Realm will be described in detail.
There will be another chapter tonight.
