Chapter 1 Conditions

Soon, the Creation Holy Emperor sent back a message. He was willing to consider the conditions proposed by Jiang Xuan, but only if Jiang Xuan personally went to the first level of the desolate universe to negotiate with him.

Jiang Xuan didn't refuse. He was confident in dealing with the Creation Holy Emperor. Of course, even if he had to fight the Creation Holy Emperor, he would make some preparations and wouldn't expose all his strength.

In the end, Jiang Xuan and the Creation Holy Emperor agreed to negotiate in a desolate universe adjacent to the Divine Clan universe in ten years. During these ten years, the Human Clan and the Holy Clan were not allowed to go to war.

"It seems that the Creation Holy Emperor's injuries are almost healed," Jiang Xuan thought. He didn't know when the Creation Holy Emperor's injuries would heal, but even in his prime, he was confident in dealing with him, so he wasn't afraid.

After that, the geniuses and powerhouses of the Human Clan gradually returned to the Divine Territory, though not all of them. At least the Heavenly Venerates only returned with an incarnation, while the rest stayed in the desolate universe to pioneer new territories.

As for the Divine Territory, the Holy Clan now occupied half of it, but the final outcome would ultimately depend on the results of the negotiations between the Creation Holy Emperor and Jiang Xuan.

…

In the blink of an eye, ten years had passed, and Jiang Xuan had gone alone to the agreed desolate universe. As for Shen Meng and Di Shijia, they were now fully focused on breaking through to True God. Once those two became True Gods, the Human Clan's situation would be completely stable.

In the sixteen Heavens suitable for survival, there were "main worlds" similar to the three thousand realms of the Divine Territory. These worlds were surrounded by layers of space and endless nebulae, looking like elliptical spheres.

Within the endless nebulae were stars, which the creatures of the Divine Territory called "lower realms." Beneath each great world were countless stars, and those suitable for survival were the lower realms.

But the desolate universe was different. It could even be said that the desolate universe was the form of the universe as Jiang Xuan knew it. There were countless stars, forming star systems, with divisions such as planets, stars, and galaxies.

Moreover, based on the memories of Jiang Xuan in other worlds, he made a prediction, dividing the universe into three stages, or three levels.

The first stage was the chaotic world, where there was only one original world in the universe, vast and endless, and extremely dangerous.

The second stage was similar to the Martial God Divine Territory, the Desolate Three Realms, and the Perfect Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. The reason for this form was that it had encountered a great calamity, the original world collapsed, and split into many great worlds and countless small worlds, such as the Immortal Antiquity War in Perfect and the ancient calamity in Desolate.

As for the third stage, it was the form of the universe as Jiang Xuan knew it, such as the universe of Covering the Sky, the desolate universe of Martial God, etc. This form was caused by further destruction on the basis of the second stage, the further collapse of the universe.

The most obvious sign of this stage was that the Heavenly Dao was not obvious, or incomplete, which would lead to a situation where only one Great Emperor could exist in an era, as in Covering the Sky, and the Great Emperor only had a lifespan of ten thousand years.

The desolate universe in front of Jiang Xuan also had a similar situation, but the situation here was even worse. The desolate universe was simply not suitable for living beings to cultivate, especially those below the Divine Sea, who could not even survive in the desolate universe.

Therefore, pioneering in the desolate universe was extremely difficult. Opening up a pure land required even a Heavenly Venerate to spend a long time, and it was unknown how much time it would take to transform the entire universe.

The place where Jiang Xuan and the Creation Holy Emperor agreed to meet was in the center of this entire desolate universe.

When Jiang Xuan arrived, there was already a lonely figure in that void. It was a burly middle-aged man, wearing a gorgeous robe, and in his eyes, there was a domineering aura that looked down upon the world, like a sacred being overlooking the myriad realms, and his majesty was inviolable.

He was the current leader of the Holy Clan, the Creation Holy Emperor, and also a hegemon of the Thirty-Three Heavens, controlling the "Desolate" and possessing unfathomable strength.

"Remarkable, even if you have been hiding something, you have only cultivated for ten thousand years. Even if you cultivated with the help of a time barrier, it wouldn't exceed a million years. To become a True God at such a young age, you are indeed full of potential." The Creation Holy Emperor's voice was indifferent, but it was like rolling thunder, resounding through the universe.

"However, do you think that after breaking through to True God, you can fight me?" The Creation Holy Emperor's expression never changed. Even if Jiang Xuan became a God, even if he had a second True God incarnation, he didn't think it was worth fearing.

The gap between a Lower True God and an Upper True God could not be made up for by numbers. Even if his strength had not fully recovered, he was very confident in keeping Jiang Xuan here.

The only trouble was that Jiang Xuan had the Hongmeng Lingzhu (Primordial Pearl) in his hand. This divine artifact would bring many variables, so he didn't dare to say that he had absolute certainty in keeping Jiang Xuan. Otherwise, he would have already taken action when Jiang Xuan appeared, so why would he bother talking?

Jiang Xuan smiled and didn't answer the Creation Holy Emperor directly. Instead, he sensed the void and slowly said, "Your Excellency has isolated this void with great power. Are you afraid of the Soul Emperor of the Soul Clan?"

The Creation Holy Emperor's eyes narrowed. He had indeed set up a barrier to isolate detection, and it was indeed because he was afraid of the Soul Emperor, but he didn't expect Jiang Xuan to say it directly.

Jiang Xuan didn't say much, waved his hand, and added another layer of barrier on top of the Creation Holy Emperor's original barrier, while also separating this void from the original space-time.

"In this way, we can have a good talk." Jiang Xuan smiled. He was also afraid of the Soul Emperor. The methods of that kind of being who surpassed True God were too unpredictable, and he could only guarantee secrecy to the greatest extent possible.

"There's no need to talk. I can agree to your conditions, but you must hand over the Hongmeng Lingzhu (Primordial Pearl)." The Creation Holy Emperor said coldly. Although the Hongmeng Lingzhu (Primordial Pearl) wouldn't affect his plan, it still had a great effect on him.

"Your Excellency the Holy Emperor's character isn't very good. The previous five-hundred-year peace treaty was torn up as soon as it was said. How can I trust you now?" Jiang Xuan said with a sarcastic smile. The previous treaty was for a five-hundred-year peace period, but how long had it been before the Holy Clan directly tore up the treaty and chose to go to war because of Lin Ming and others' performance in the Final Trial?

"I can make a Martial Dao oath." The Creation Holy Emperor said in a deep voice. He really didn't plan to go to war before, but the Human Clan suddenly had too many geniuses, and their results in the Final Trial were too amazing. If they were allowed to grow up, they would definitely be a threat to the Holy Clan.

So he could only choose to go to war and destroy the Human Clan as soon as possible, but he didn't expect Jiang Xuan to become a True God during this period, and the Human Clan had also cultivated some kind of mysterious incarnation method.

"The Demon Oath you made with the Soul Emperor may not be reliable, let alone a Martial Dao oath?" At the True God level, the binding force of oaths was already very small, and there was no Natal Oath in this realm, so he naturally couldn't believe it.

However, the Creation Holy Emperor was stunned, not because of the Martial Dao oath, but because of the fact that he and the Soul Emperor had made a Demon Oath. At that time, the Sighing God Wall was broken, and the Holy Clan and the Soul Clan confronted each other in the void, but he wanted to destroy the Human Clan, so he made a Demon Oath with the Soul Emperor, promising peace.

However, this matter was extremely secretive, and no one else in the Holy Clan knew about it. How did Jiang Xuan know?

"Very surprised? I also know a lot, such as... Your Excellency wants to use the power of 'Desolate' to devour the Heavenly Dao laws of the Human Clan's Juyuan system 'Huashen Jiubian (Nine Transformations of Divinity),' and thus surpass True God." Jiang Xuan said with a faint smile. It was indeed very interesting to participate in the affairs of the myriad realms from the perspective of God. No wonder spoiling and pretending to be forced were so popular. This feeling was indeed very good!

"You!" The Creation Holy Emperor's expression completely changed. He was indeed preparing to devour the Heavenly Dao laws of the "Huashen Jiubian (Nine Transformations of Divinity)," but he had never mentioned this secret to anyone. Even the Tiangang God King and Piaoyu God King only knew that his destruction of the Human Clan was for his own selfish desires, but these two Holy Clan True Gods didn't know the real purpose.

But now, a newly promoted Human Clan True God had revealed his true plan, which made him feel a chill in his heart, as if the person standing in front of him was not a Lower True God, but an omniscient and omnipotent monster!
