Chapter 3352: Complete Evacuation
Zhang Ruochen transmitted a message to the Soul Realm Master: "The next master of the Soul Realm is Lian Xi."
Upon hearing this, the Soul Realm Master completely relaxed, understanding why Zhang Ruochen had let him return.
Having value naturally meant he would not die.
Zhang Ruochen said, "Do the two of you have any more concerns now? I, the Realm Venerable, must remind you that although I do not control your divine souls and cannot dictate your life and death, you are now gods of Xinghuantian. If you disobey orders in the future, I, the Realm Venerable, will surely kill you."
Zhang Ruochen was not afraid of their betrayal. After the battle at Hundred Clans Royal City, the Famous Sword God and the Soul Realm Master must have developed a sense of awe.
Moreover, the Heavenly Court and Xinghuantian were now allied. Even if they betrayed him, the losses would not be too great.
As long as Zhang Ruochen stepped into the Infinite Realm and maintained an extremely fast pace of advancement, their reverence would only deepen.
The Soul Realm Master said, "The Realm Venerable has already promised that this old servant will not do anything to betray the Soul Realm or the Heavenly Court. How could this old servant disobey orders? In the future, within the Heavenly Court, this old servant will secretly aid the Kunlun Realm to make up for past mistakes."
"You must take concrete action," Zhang Ruochen said.
The Famous Sword God said, "As long as it does not endanger the Sword God Realm or the Heavenly Court, this god will follow the Realm Venerable's lead. If the Realm Venerable wishes to deal with the Paradise Realm, this god can also contribute."
"Go."
Zhang Ruochen did not take their promises to heart.
After the Soul Realm Master and the Famous Sword God left, Yu Divine King said, "Your methods are still not ruthless enough. Some gods, killing them is the safest course."
"Correct."
Xiu Chen Heavenly God was quite dissatisfied, feeling that Zhang Ruochen had gone back on his word. He had promised to kill the Famous Sword God, but because the other party suddenly submitted, he did not follow through, disappointing her expectations.
Zhang Ruochen said, "Is the killing not enough? For now, for Xinghuantian... no, for the Sword Realm, killing is for self-preservation. If killing becomes a means of profit and expansion, disaster is not far off."
"Killing is easy; controlling killing is difficult!"
"These gods who have submitted to you are mostly fickle and treacherous. Bringing them to the Sword Realm may plant seeds of disaster," Yu Divine King said.
Zhang Ruochen said, "What if I hand them all over to you, Divine King, to govern?"
Yu Divine King's true body manifested from the alternate space, saying, "Are you serious?"
"Naturally," Zhang Ruochen said.
"As long as I am here, they will never be able to overturn the heavens."
Yu Divine King's emotions fluctuated considerably.
One must understand that this was an immensely powerful force. The Second Elder of Array-Destroying Palace, Huang Daozi, Red Abyss Ghost Lord, and Wu Gan were all Tai Xu Great Gods.
Additionally, there were over a hundred true gods and false gods.
The number of Saint Realm cultivators was incalculable.
By handing over such a force to him, Zhang Ruochen was undoubtedly supporting the Heavenly Beginning Civilization.
Of course, this matter carried significant risk and could not afford any mistakes.
Zhang Ruochen had carefully considered handing this force over to Yu Divine King. Yu Divine King had seasoned methods and was skilled in worldly affairs, something that the two patriarchs, Taiqing and Yuqing, could not match.
"Let's go, back to the Sword Realm!"
Zhang Ruochen dared not wait any longer, fearing that Feng Tian would return to the real world.
...
Shi Kai Divine King was like a rockery, fifteen zhang tall, with an irregular body.
But on this irregular body grew a single eye. An eye as black as an ink pool, containing eerie power. Even a great god, if meeting this eye's gaze, would have their divine soul sucked away.
"Hundred Clans Royal City was taken into a divine realm world by that Infinite. Judging by the aura, it should be Yu Divine King of the Heavenly Beginning Civilization," Shi Kai Divine King said.
Fei Xue Divine King appeared as a woman in her twenties, with four arms, holding a Heaven-Reflecting Mirror, saying, "No need to guess, it's him."
Shi Kai Divine King had emerged from the Ancestor Realm of the Stone Clan.
Fei Xue Divine King had emerged from the Ancestor Realm of the Death Clan.
Before the Infinite Northern Expedition, they had not appeared in the universe, having cultivated in the Ancestor Realm. Only after the great upheaval in Lihentian did they emerge, and they had already become acquainted with each other.
Shi Kai Divine King said, "So it seems, the Sword Realm likely truly exists. Is there confidence to follow them without being detected?"
"As long as Yu Divine King's cultivation has not broken through and remains at the middle stage of Qiankun Infinite, it should be fine outside. But once inside the Dark Great Triangle Star Domain, it's uncertain," Fei Xue Divine King said.
"The Sword Realm absolutely exists."
A deep voice came from the Void World.
Space cracked, and a White Bone Ghost Chariot emerged from the Void World.
The space around Fei Xue Divine King fluctuated unsteadily, her body sometimes solid, sometimes illusory, saying, "How can you be sure, Guo Divine King?"
"All cultivators in the world thought that the realms of Hundred Clans Royal City were afraid of retaliation from the Hell Realm and thus hid in the Dark Great Triangle Star Domain. But Xinghuantian also disappeared. Why is that?" Guo Divine King said.
Fei Xue Divine King closed her eyes, sensing carefully, and indeed found that Xinghuantian had vanished from the universe!
Shi Kai Divine King laughed, "How interesting. A second Infinite has appeared."
To carry a great world like Xinghuantian, one must have Infinite Realm cultivation.
Guo Divine King said, "Aren't you curious? Xinghuantian had means set up by Nine Heavens. Could an ordinary Infinite take it away?"
"Guo Divine King means that before going to the North Marsh Great Wall, Nine Heavens left a contingency plan, ensuring that Xinghuantian could be withdrawn at a critical moment? If so, the Sword Realm had already emerged before the great upheaval at the North Marsh Great Wall," Fei Xue Divine King said.
They did not speculate that a Great Unbound Infinite had taken Xinghuantian, as such a level of figure could not possibly remain hidden.
Shi Kai Divine King said, "They have moved. Guo Divine King, will you join us?"
"Since the Sword Realm has emerged, Fengdu Ghost City naturally wants a share," the voice from the White Bone Ghost City drifted out.
"With the three of us Divine Kings joining forces, we can take down Yu Divine King," Fei Xue Divine King said.
Although there was a second Infinite on the other side, carrying Xinghuantian with billions of living beings on it, that person could not make a move, nor even dare to show themselves.
As for Zhang Ruochen and the other gods below the Infinite Realm, they did not take them seriously.
...
After entering the Dark Great Triangle Star Domain, Zhang Ruochen and Yu Divine King rendezvoused with Taiqing Patriarch.
Feng Tian had only said not to let Yuqing Patriarch come out and stir up trouble, not that Yu Divine King and Taiqing Patriarch could not leave the Dark Great Triangle Star Domain.
Zhang Ruochen asked, "Has Yuqing Patriarch come along?"
Taiqing Patriarch said, "A large number of gods from Hundred Clans Royal City are going to the Sword Realm. Yuqing must accompany them, or there will be chaos. Why, have you encountered a troublesome matter?"
Zhang Ruochen told Taiqing Patriarch about what had happened at Hundred Clans Royal City.
Taiqing Patriarch's expression turned grave, saying, "The Stone Clan, Death Clan, and Fengdu Ghost City all sent Divine Kings to Hundred Clans Royal City. You suspect they are tailing us?"
"Not suspecting, it's certain," Yu Divine King said.
Taiqing Patriarch asked, "Three Divine Kings suddenly appearing. These three clans truly have deep foundations. What level of cultivation do they have?"
"They did not make a move, concealing their auras very subtly. But I could sense that their cultivation does not exceed the middle stage of Qiankun Infinite," Yu Divine King said.
Taiqing Patriarch said, "One against three, we would surely lose. But two against three, we can still try. Does Ruochen have the confidence to carry Xinghuantian?"
"Xiu Chen Heavenly God said she wants to try."
Zhang Ruochen took out the Sundial and patted the pattern imprint on its surface resembling Xiu Chen Heavenly God.
Xiu Chen Heavenly God very reluctantly flew out from the Sundial.
Zhang Ruochen had helped her refine the Ice Lord and Leopard Lord, and also refined the divine souls of Mu Tuo and Ban Zun into divine soul pills. Now, Xiu Chen Heavenly God's divine soul strength had reached ten percent of the Infinite Realm.
Relying solely on ten percent Infinite divine soul, naturally, she could not contend with true Divine Kings and Divine Venerables.
But Xiu Chen Heavenly God possessed a Sundial body and had the means of a peak Great Unbound Infinite, making it easy for her to deal with Divine Kings and Divine Venerables at the initial Qiankun Infinite stage.
"Remember my divine source," Xiu Chen Heavenly God muttered softly.
"An artifact spirit, still bargaining." Zhang Ruochen shook his head, then said, "Patriarch, Divine King, I actually have a bold idea. What if we lure them to the Sword God Temple?"
"If we go to the Sword God Temple, we must plan carefully, ensuring they never return," Taiqing Patriarch, who had always been immortal-like, suddenly sharpened his gaze like a sword.
Xiu Chen Heavenly God's eyes lit up.
These were three Divine Kings! Their divine souls...
