Chapter 1 A World in Turmoil

Several years after Mu Lingyue left, in the God Realm, within the Radiance Great World, a middle-tier world, the foremost power was the Radiance Great Sacred Ground. Founded by the Radiance World King, it was a sacred ground with a history of five million years.

However, on this very day, the largest secret realm controlled by the Radiance Great Sacred Ground, the Radiance Secret Realm, was trembling, undergoing a massive upheaval, as if it were about to collapse at any moment.

Even the World King of the Radiance Sacred Ground and the many elders in charge were baffled by this scene. Just as they were preparing to send people to investigate, a dazzling light, like a radiant sun, suddenly erupted from within the Radiance Secret Realm.

Immediately afterward, another terrifying explosion rang out. This time, even space was blasted open, tearing rifts in the void. Such power would severely injure even a Saint Lord if they were caught in the blast.

"Hahahaha! Finally broken free from the shackles and entered the Shenluo Heaven!"

However, before the powerhouses of the Radiance Sacred Ground could investigate further, a burst of unbridled laughter echoed from the torn space, followed by a group of figures flying out!

"Thirty-six billion years! After waiting for so long, the humiliation of past defeats will be washed away with your blood!"

"Shenluo Heaven, I will establish immortal merit here! This will be our clan's land!"

With the roars of these powerhouses, countless figures surged out from the torn space like locusts. At this moment, the elders and disciples of the Radiance Sacred Ground were all terrified and horrified.

Especially the aura of these figures. Any one of them was more powerful than their elders in charge. Among them, there were even several who could rival the Radiance World King. Such a terrifying group of people could destroy their Radiance Great Sacred Ground at any moment!

...

In the Tai Xuan Heavenly Palace, Jiang Xuan slowly opened his eyes. Long ago, he had successfully deduced the Grand Divine Power of the Bodhi Dao Ancestor, One Dream, Three Realms. He had previously used the One Dream, Three Realms technique to observe everything in the God Realm.

He had seen everything that had happened in the Radiance Great Sacred Ground: "They've finally arrived."

Jiang Xuan naturally knew who was coming. Among the Thirty-Three Heavens, the only ones who had fought with the human race thirty-six billion years ago were the Saint race. Although only a vanguard force had arrived this time, with the real powerhouses still in the rear, it still meant that war was imminent.

Moreover, Jiang Xuan also knew that the Saint race had brought one of the Three Great Divine Artifacts, the Hongmeng Spiritual Pearl (Primordial Spiritual Pearl), with them. Although the artifact spirit was lost, if he could obtain it, Jiang Xuan could break through the shackles of the Nine Stars of the Dao Palace even while staying in the God Realm.

In the following half-month, war erupted between the Saint race and the human race. However, both sides were still in the probing phase, and powerhouses at the Heavenly Venerate level and above had not yet joined the battle.

The strongest participants were some Half-Step Heavenly Venerates. Only when Heavenly Venerates participated could it be considered a full-scale war.

During this period, the name of a Saint race powerhouse spread throughout the human race. He was the Creation Saint Son. Although he was only at the Saint Lord realm, equivalent to the human God Lord realm, he could directly defeat ordinary World Kings with this cultivation level. Even against Great World Kings, he had the power to protect himself.

Of course, his reliance was the Hongmeng Spiritual Pearl!

Jiang Xuan dreamed of the Shenluo Heaven. He knew everything that happened in the Shenluo Heaven, as long as it was not isolated by a Heavenly Venerate. He naturally knew about the Creation Saint Son.

Now, he was also planning to have one of his clones return, taking on the identity of another race, to steal the Hongmeng Spiritual Pearl.

This would not only avoid bringing trouble to the human race, but also appropriately attract the attention of the Saint race.

As for the best identity, it was naturally the Soul race clone, which could also be a thorn in the side of the Soul Emperor, the master of the Tomb of the Devil Gods, preventing him from watching the show from the sidelines.

Of course, doing so would also mean that the identity of the Soul race clone would be abandoned. However, Jiang Xuan had already obtained many opportunities in the Original Dream Universe, so it didn't matter if he left.

Moreover, with the great calamity approaching, Jiang Xuan was also preparing to break through to the True God realm. Although he wouldn't bring back all his clones, he would need to summon some of them back so that his strength after the breakthrough would be enough to resist the Saint race invasion.

"On the side of the Desolate Universe, a Pure Land has already been opened up, so it wouldn't hurt to return," Jiang Xuan thought. In the Desolate Universe, another clone had been constantly opening up a Pure Land.

In the Desolate Universe, Jiang Xuan had no scruples or restrictions. He exerted his full strength. With his combat power comparable to a True God, he had already opened up a Pure Land. Even if the God Realm encountered an unpredictable crisis, there would be a way out.

Of course, he would not choose to lead the human race into the Desolate Universe unless it was absolutely necessary. After all, he knew best how harsh the environment of the Desolate Universe was. Even in his modified Pure Land, it would be difficult for mortals to survive, let alone in those truly desolate lands.

In his vision, the best outcome would be for him to become a True God, resist the Saint race invasion, and then slowly have the human race powerhouses go to the Desolate Universe to develop the land, treating it as the human race's last retreat.

However, if Jiang Xuan became a True God after the Saint race and human race went to war, the Creation Saint Emperor might personally take action. In addition, he was preparing to stir up trouble and drag the Soul race into the water, so the Soul Emperor also had to be considered.

As for the worst-case scenario, Jiang Xuan would summon back all his clones, and his original self would be unified. With his foundation, he might be able to reach Totem-level combat power in one fell swoop, which would definitely be enough for a short period.

But doing so would also have an impact on him in the future. After all, his original plan was for the clones to become gods on their own, and then return to the original self. At that time, their strength would definitely be able to surpass Totem-level, and they would be able to face the great calamity more calmly.

The war between the Saint race and the human race continued to erupt, but because no Heavenly Venerates had taken action, and the Saint race had the Creation Saint Son controlling the Hongmeng Spiritual Pearl, the human race had no way to deal with it and was constantly being suppressed.

As time passed, many human warriors were even frightened and uneasy at the mere mention of the Creation Saint Son's arrival. Even Hao Yu Heavenly Venerate and the others were helpless in this situation.

They all knew that once a Heavenly Venerate took action, the Saint race would also send a Heavenly Venerate. At that time, the outbreak of war would be difficult to control, and they had no doubt that the number of Heavenly Venerates in the Saint race was far greater than that of the human race. The addition of Heavenly Venerates to the war would still be detrimental to the human race.

On this day, a great battle still broke out in the Radiance Great World. The Creation Saint Son was like a fierce dragon freed from its cage, charging and killing on the battlefield. With the Hongmeng Spiritual Pearl in hand, all warriors below the Saint Lord level, regardless of their number, would be instantly annihilated, turning into flesh and blood essence, which was absorbed by the Hongmeng Spiritual Pearl.

Any of the Three Supreme Divine Artifacts were extraordinary. Even though the current Hongmeng Spiritual Pearl had lost its artifact spirit, as long as one could master part of its power, one could still dominate this battlefield.

"Hahaha, human warriors, you are truly fragile!"

On the battlefield, many Saint race warriors said disdainfully. The Saint race had unparalleled physical bodies, just as the Soul race had transcendent soul power. These two races were naturally blessed with amazing talent.

However, the human race's path of body refinement had been cut off long ago by "Huang." It was difficult to advance beyond the Nine Stars of the Dao Palace. Even if one could break through, the resources required were unimaginable.

Therefore, in terms of physical combat, the human race was indeed weaker than the Saint race. As for the Qi Gathering system and the Divine Cultivation system, the human race also had no True Gods in these two paths, and could not compare with the Saint race in terms of inheritance.

This also led to the Saint race almost crushing the human race on the battlefield.

"The Saint Son is truly remarkable, invincible!"

"Hahaha, that's natural. The Saint Son is the number one person of our generation, how could he not be strong?" Many Saint race warriors looked at the Creation Saint Son, who was wielding the Hongmeng Spiritual Pearl and displaying great power, and were all amazed and sighed with emotion.

"What's that?!"

However, at this moment, a voice suddenly rang out. Before everyone could think too much, a dark divine light suddenly arrived in the void. That power was like the Heavenly Dao pressing down. The souls of all the Saint race warriors on the battlefield seemed to be frozen at that moment!

The divine light swept past the Creation Saint Son, not hurting anyone, but it angered the Heavenly Venerates of the Saint race.

"Audacious!"

On the other side of the Radiance Secret Realm, the Saint race Heavenly Venerates also noticed it. They had been paying attention to the battlefield to prevent the human race Heavenly Venerates from suddenly attacking.

But now, they had not waited for the human race Heavenly Venerates, but had waited for a Soul race Heavenly Venerate!

"Soul race, put down the Hongmeng Spiritual Pearl, or you will be killed!"

A Saint race Heavenly Venerate descended, standing in the void, blocking Jiang Xuan's clone. After a hundred years, even if a Soul race True God stood in front of Jiang Xuan's clone, they would definitely not be able to detect anything unusual!

Now, he was a true Soul race Heavenly Venerate. No matter which race's True God came to see him, they would come to the same conclusion.
