"I never expected that after coming to the Desolate Ancient World together, you would have become so powerful!"
Zhao Xiaotian, holding a pot of wine, arrived on the city walls of the Holy City, appearing very casual.
Now that Lu Fan was the master of the Holy City, things were much more convenient for him. Anywhere he went within the Holy City, he was met with adulation.
"It's just luck!"
Lu Fan chuckled awkwardly, his expression indifferent, as if nothing truly mattered in his eyes.
"How can you call it luck!"
Zhao Xiaotian shook his head. "If not for your formidable strength, we would likely have perished in the Holy City!"
"What are your plans next?"
Lu Fan suddenly looked towards Zhao Xiaotian. "I always feel that in this Desolate Ancient World, one might not be able to achieve supreme divine status. It seems something is missing!"
"It must be the laws of heaven and earth!"
Zhao Xiaotian said, "I've heard that to become a true deity, one must understand the laws of heaven and earth to achieve the supreme Dao!"
"Laws of heaven and earth?"
Lu Fan looked surprised. "What is that? Why have I never heard of it!"
"I'm not entirely sure of the specifics. It requires countless trials to absorb this power of law!"
Zhao Xiaotian stated directly, "According to legend, to gain recognition from the laws of heaven and earth, one must travel through numerous realms and comprehend the power of the Heavenly Dao!"
"So, according to you, staying in the Holy City means I can't become a god?"
Lu Fan was slightly taken aback. If that were the case, his arrival in the Desolate Ancient World would be meaningless.
"In the Desolate Ancient World, many powerful beings were able to achieve divine status in the past, but it's different now!"
Zhao Xiaotian shook his head. "You must have noticed!"
Following these words, Lu Fan nodded slightly. The Old Ancestor of the Holy City, despite reaching the ninth realm of the Heavenly Lord, had not ascended to godhood, which was enough to show the difficulty of becoming a god.
"My lord, are you two whispering secrets?"
The Old Ancestor of the Holy City arrived, a light smile on his face as he looked at Lu Fan and the others.
"Old Ancestor of the Holy City, you are a ninth-realm Heavenly Lord. Why have you been unable to achieve divine status?"
Lu Fan asked, "Is it truly due to a lack of the power of the laws of heaven and earth!"
"My lord, you jest. If I could break through to divine status, I wouldn't be like this!"
The Old Ancestor of the Holy City said awkwardly, "While the power of the laws of heaven and earth is important, without the power to become a god, it is ultimately futile!"
"It is likely that below the divine realm, the ninth realm of the Heavenly Lord is supreme. Even if you haven't achieved divine status, you are an unparalleled existence. Why be so dejected!"
Lu Fan smiled faintly, his expression placid.
"My lord, you may not know, but in the myriad realms, the ninth realm of the Heavenly Lord is not necessarily the strongest existence!" The Old Ancestor of the Holy City shook his head, his gaze serious.
"Are there truly beings stronger than the ninth realm of the Heavenly Lord in this world?"
With a solemn expression, Zhao Xiaotian spoke, his heart filled with confusion.
Facing these words, the Old Ancestor of the Holy City nodded gravely. "Indeed, that is the case. Above the ninth realm of the Heavenly Lord, there are beings known as demigods. Such beings are truly terrifying!"
"Demigods?"
Lu Fan was slightly startled. He had been in the Desolate Ancient World for so long, and this was the first time he had heard this name. He couldn't help but feel a sense of shock.
"Demigods possess immense power and are the peak of an entire realm!"
The Old Ancestor of the Holy City spoke again, "Therefore, becoming a demigod makes one the most formidable existence in all the myriad realms!"
Following these words, Lu Fan finally understood. He hadn't expected that there were beings called demigods in this world.
"With your current strength, my lord, you can traverse the myriad worlds if you wish!"
The Old Ancestor of the Holy City smiled, "It's just a matter of whether my lord is willing!"
"I do have such thoughts!"
Lu Fan nodded. "Traveling through the myriad worlds alone is truly tedious. Would you be willing to accompany me?"
"This..."
The Old Ancestor of the Holy City chuckled awkwardly. "This old man needs to go into seclusion, so I'm afraid I cannot follow!"
"I'll accompany you!"
Zhao Xiaotian said, "I'm quite interested in these myriad worlds!"
Following these words, Lu Fan nodded solemnly. Having someone to accompany him was the best possible outcome.
Not long after, Lu Fan left the Holy City with Zhao Xiaotian, preparing to travel through the myriad worlds and search for the laws of the Heavenly Dao.
In the Holy City, the Old Ancestor felt a surge of joy as he watched Lu Fan depart.
After Lu Fan left, he could continue to control the Holy City without any reservations.
Under Lu Fan's powerful aura, Zhao Xiaotian finally broke free from the confinement of the Desolate Ancient World and breached the realm.
The Ziwei Planet was one of countless realms.
Upon arriving in the Ziwei Realm, Lu Fan was somewhat shocked.
The Ziwei Realm was vast, but the spiritual energy was extremely sparse. In his perception, there weren't even five Heavenly Lord-level experts.
"This Ziwei Realm is quite ancient and very special among the many realms!"
Zhao Xiaotian stated, "I never expected that after ten thousand years, the Ziwei Realm would be so desolate!"
"What's different about this Ziwei Realm?" Lu Fan asked curiously.
"Ten thousand years ago, the Ziwei Realm was the most prosperous realm. Unfortunately, a great war ten thousand years ago destroyed the entire realm!" Zhao Xiaotian said directly.
He was very familiar with the Ziwei Realm, otherwise, he wouldn't have spoken like this.
Following these words, Lu Fan nodded slightly, seemingly understanding why the Ziwei Realm was so well-known.
Not long after, Lu Fan's gaze turned towards a certain direction in the Ziwei Realm, a faint glint appearing in his eyes.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Fan and Zhao Xiaotian appeared in a small town within the Ziwei Realm.
"What's going on?"
Zhao Xiaotian asked, confused. "Why have we come here?"
"I sense that this town is not simple. It seems to possess what I am searching for!"
Lu Fan murmured, "The power of the laws of heaven and earth!"
"How is this possible!"
Zhao Xiaotian was somewhat surprised. How could an ordinary small town possess the laws of heaven and earth.
However, since Lu Fan had spoken, he naturally wouldn't say much more, though his heart was inevitably stirred.
After walking for a while, Lu Fan suddenly stopped outside a tavern. "Having arrived in the Ziwei Realm, I haven't tasted the local fine wine yet. Shall we go have a few drinks?"
"That's exactly what I was thinking!"
Zhao Xiaotian nodded, his face lighting up. Traveling the myriad worlds with Lu Fan had its benefits, such as enjoying various interesting experiences.
Upon entering the tavern, Lu Fan ordered food and wine and began to savor them leisurely.
Meanwhile, Zhao Xiaotian looked around and chuckled, "The wine here tastes quite good. It truly lives up to its reputation as a realm of ancient times!"
Lu Fan also nodded slightly. The wine indeed had an unusual flavor that left a lingering aftertaste.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Lu Fan casually took out a spirit stone and asked the waiter, "May I ask where this place is?"
