Gods Vanish on a Cloudy Day
Extra Chapter Middle: The Three Thousand Realms of Hunkun
Since its birth, Divine Tree Zhuzhou·Yuan Cangmeng had always admired the Primordial Zhuzhou.
It felt that there was no existence in the world as respectable and generous as the Primordial Zhuzhou, more gentle than its father, and more majestic than its mother.
Yuan Cangmeng, Yuan is the surname, meaning 'the origin of nothingness', while Cangmeng means 'dim sky'.
This divine tree was born in the void, a manifestation of the Primordial Zhuzhou's sweeping waves across the myriad worlds. From the moment of its birth, it absorbed the power of the various worlds and the void within the turbulent flow of time and space, and fell into a world called 'Tiansui'.
The Tiansui Realm was dark and desolate, a world without light, but it did not lack other spiritual energy and matter, enough to supply the divine tree's growth. Yuan Cangmeng indeed lived up to the name of Zhuzhou, becoming the only light in this world, illuminating heaven and earth with its spiritual energy, and becoming the firmament supporting this dim world.
Of course, admiring the Primordial Zhuzhou did not mean that Yuan thought the Primordial Zhuzhou was supreme. The reason why Yuan respected the Primordial Zhuzhou was simply because it had done so much.
Leaving aside everything else... just the 'Myriad Worlds Zhuzhou Chat Group', a platform that helped it obtain numerous farming tools, fertilizers, and the most needed tools for the early stages of civilization, was enough to make it feel grateful to the creator of this platform.
And as the Flame of Innovation spread, Yuan Cangmeng, who obtained this inheritance, also officially swept away the chaotic fog of the Tiansui Realm, creating a true race of intelligent civilization. As the creator, it became one of the three thousand small worlds under the jurisdiction of the Huntian Realm.
The Huntian Realm was an extremely special and vast universe, wandering within the sealed multiverse. It welcomed the addition of all Great Daos, and like Chaos, it did not reject any existence that could find it, and generously provided the possibility of Dao Integration for everyone.
But in other words, facing such a world that gathered countless heroes' Great Daos from countless epochs in the multiverse, if an ordinary Heavenly Venerate Creator came to this place, intending to seek the opportunity for Dao Integration... then their ending was destined not to be too good.
Because what they wanted to do, the Dao they wanted to integrate, had already been done by others, and even better than they imagined, more detailed, and more perfect.
Indeed, some Heavenly Venerate Creators with firm wills did not care about this situation where there was nothing new under the sun. So what if the road they wanted to take had been walked by others? Roads were made for people to walk, and as long as they kept walking, they would eventually reach the end they desired. Infinite roads could accommodate infinite people at the same time.
Moreover, they might not need to reach the end to reach a divergence.
However, not all Heavenly Venerate Creators had such an indestructible mindset. Facing those stunningly talented Great Dao imprints that far exceeded their imagination, they would instead be afraid, shrink back, and even despairingly stagnate in place, even wanting to escape the Huntian Realm.
Not to mention the prestigious name of the Huntian Five Sages, which was already extremely frightening. Since they could not obtain any opportunity in the Huntian Realm, they should indeed leave quickly.
The Huntian Realm was such a walled city, those outside wanted to get in, and those inside wanted to get out.
And the Huntian Realm, through such comings and goings, achieved the breathing and swallowing of the Great Daos of the multiverse.
And as the Huntian Realm swallowed and exhaled, the many worlds and universes surrounding it were the 'Huntian Three Thousand Realms', a special group of worlds.
As Yuan Cangmeng's strength and realm improved, it gradually understood the structure of the Huntian Realm and its surrounding world cluster.
It was a structure almost like a 'comet'.
The Huntian Realm itself was an eternally moving world, revolving within the sealed multiverse, constantly moving, never staying in one place. Wherever it passed, it would have a great impact on the void and many world clusters it passed through—celestial sphere interlacing, alien domain overlapping, immortal realm descending... and other strange cosmic phenomena were all changes caused by the movement of the Huntian Realm to this multiverse.
It constantly absorbed new elements from the places it passed, and then left its own elements and Great Daos. These elements and Great Daos that were left behind, or even the worlds that were formed, would not completely break away from the trajectory of the Huntian Realm at first, and would be attached to its periphery, which was the so-called prototype of the 'Huntian Three Thousand Realms'.
And the tail of this comet was the cluster of cosmic world planes that had completely separated from the Huntian Realm.
Brand new races, brand new cultivation methods, brand new worlds and even universes would be left at the tail of the Huntian Realm as it moved. This process lasted for millions of years, or as short as decades, but no matter how long or short, it would have a great impact on the myriad worlds that encountered the Huntian Realm.
The Tiansui world where Yuan Cangmeng was located was such a desolate world that had just emerged from the Huntian Realm.
Because there were no intelligent beings inside, and no spiritual veins formed by the surging of spiritual energy, it could not even be regarded as a world, but only as floating dust around the Huntian Realm.
However, because this Divine Tree Zhuzhou worked tirelessly, the current Tiansui Realm had also been officially integrated into the Three Thousand Realms. Some time ago, it even joined the Three Thousand Realms trade network centered on the Huntian Realm and began to exchange with other worlds.
Even the Pioneer Space had dispatched explorers to this realm to carry out exploration missions—for many creators and creation gods in this multiverse, this was simply the best evidence to acknowledge the prosperity of their world.
In the circles of many creation gods and creators, they were proud of how many explorers emerged in their world, and if a Pioneer could appear, it would really be a big win.
Speaking of which, it is necessary to mention the appearance of the world under Yuan Cangmeng's command.
Initially, the Tiansui World only had rock-like ancient dragons, and many towering rock giant trees... and as the Flame of Innovation was ignited, and other worlds and strongmen's information disturbed, many other races were also born from the flames.
Nowadays, the entire Tiansui World can be roughly regarded as a sea continent world that is round above and square below. The Cangmu Divine Tree stands in the center of the 'Origin Continent', while most of the original ancient dragons and stone trees slumber around the Divine Tree, leaving the world to the emerging humans and many strange races.
Because it was the first generation of humans, and they were deeply influenced by the divine tree, the local civilization of the Tiansui World was extremely simple and formed a symbiotic system with many strange beasts and divine beasts named 'Soul Beasts'.
In addition to those ordinary people and technicians who built social systems and developed productivity together with Soul Beasts, many warriors and their Soul Beast partners went on adventures together, assisting each other in cultivation. Their goal was to hone their skills through battles, defeat the many dojos scattered across several continents, obtain the trial certificate, and finally, in the Origin Arena in front of the Divine Tree, fight with the cultivators of the entire world and their partners to obtain the title of 'Battle Master'!
Although it was somewhat familiar, it was normal because it was Zhuzhou's world.
"Origin Continent Warrior Alliance, Thunder Dojo Master Ma Zhishi, and his Soul Beast partner Shimmering Thunder Rat, broke through the magnetic field rotation of 500,000 horsepower, achieved the Extreme Meaning of Thunder, and defeated the withered leaf outer sea beast tide!"
"Nine Mountain Continent Warrior Alliance, former Yuan Water Dojo Master, Teacher of Heavenly Kings, Yarn, his Soul Beast partner Whirlpool Sea Dragon Horse broke through the Third Heavenly Tribulation, officially entered the realm of Heavenly King, temporarily took over the position of his disciple Moke Li, and made a comeback as a Heavenly King!"
"It is reported that former Chief Heavenly King Moke Li has temporarily retired in order to break through the Seventh Heavenly Tribulation and try to enter the realm of Immortality!"
"New generation Earth Ranking powerhouse, Chi from the City of Origin, and his Soul Beast partner Shimmering Electric Rat, fought alone against the three elders of the Flame Arrow Gang, defeated the enemy with one move, broke through to the seventh rank of Dojo Master on the spot, and ascended to the peak of Human Immortal!"
Warriors! Soul Beasts! Beast tides!
A world full of passion, provocation and games, battles, friendship and destruction!
In this Tiansui world, every child must receive martial arts training from an early age, and use their own strength to defeat a Soul Beast, attract it to become their Soul Beast partner, and then connect with the power of heaven and earth with their partner, cultivate true martial arts, and become a true 'Soul Warrior'!
In the Tiansui world, a ten-year-old child is already a top-notch martial arts expert, and has defeated no less than seven or eight Soul Beasts in their hands. They are extremely rich in theoretical and practical experience. Even beggars and homeless people on the roadside can fight tigers with their bare hands and face brown bears head-on in other worlds!
Yuan Cangmeng's strength was naturally not bad, enough to protect its own pure land and cultivate local powerhouses in the Tiansui world. The existences that left the Huntian Realm and entered the Three Thousand Small Worlds would naturally not provoke a Creator Divine Tree with mystical blood at will.
And in its eyes, the most potential powerhouse in its world, who could break through immortality and even catch up with its own creator realm, was undoubtedly the young warrior 'Chi' from the City of Origin!
This warrior Chi was exceptionally talented. When he was young, he ventured with his first Soul Beast partner 'Whirlpool Frog', absorbing a lot of combat knowledge from the attacks of the surrounding forests and wild Soul Beasts. Therefore, he was appreciated by the former Heavenly King, Soul Martial Venerable 'Tianmu', who lived in seclusion in the City of Origin, and received his full teaching, and was given the rare Soul Beast 'Nine Leaf Regeneration Toad'. Later, on his adventure, he met his destined partner, a Shimmering Electric Rat that could not evolve into a Shimmering Thunder Rat because of its natural defects.
There are no useless Soul Beasts and martial arts, only useless warriors and trash who only know how to sigh! So what if it can't evolve, he Chi will never believe in this destiny!
The fact was indeed so. With Chi's wholehearted cultivation, the Whirlpool Frog, which obtained the Yuan Water Crystal, evolved into the 'Whirlpool Destruction Frog', and the Nine Leaf Regeneration Toad also evolved into the final form 'Eternal Flower Propagation Toad'.
And that Shimmering Electric Rat even surpassed its racial limit. Although the power of its magnetic field rotation had not yet broken through 400,000 horsepower, it had already erased its destiny. Its power flow was several times that of ordinary Shimmering Electric Rats, and its combat skills had reached a complete realm. Its future was limitless!
With this feedback, Chi's potential naturally increased sharply, rapidly, and explosively. His fundamental cultivation method, the Big Dipper Blast Fist, also repeatedly broke through its realm and was about to reach the realm of 'Extreme Meaning', and he had the momentum to dominate the world!
Such a hateful warrior, if he is allowed to grow completely, what in the world can resist? What in the world can resist!
[It was not in vain that I sent out so many undying divine medicines in exchange for these extremely powerful martial arts cultivation methods, as well as many strange beasts and divine beasts!]
Looking at the prosperous appearance of its world and the promising future powerhouses, the Divine Tree Yuan Cangmeng was naturally extremely gratified—it also had to thank the Zhuzhou chat group for its almost unlimited supply of world dust. If it weren't for this, it really wouldn't be able to afford the cultivation of so many warriors and the impact on the world, and it wouldn't be possible to obtain so many and so complex martial arts cultivation methods, allowing this world to quickly accumulate heritage.
Yuan Cangmeng estimated that if it continued to develop according to the current situation, with its full support, warriors would be able to break through the Ninth Heavenly Tribulation and achieve the realm of immortal celestial being within twenty-five years—at that time, although it would still be far from being able to touch the Huntian Realm, it could be said to have the power to protect itself in the Huntian Three Thousand Realms.
[In this way, we can continue to carry out large-scale reforms to the Tiansui Realm... perhaps we can introduce the 'Dream System' recently released by the Primordial Zhuzhou and the 'Battle-Hardened Soul Beast', 'Alternate Name Soul Beast' and 'Extreme Soul Beast' classifications proposed by other Zhuzhou fellows]
As a member of Zhuzhou, Yuan Cangmeng was naturally revolutionary—the Soul Beast system must be reformed, yes, throwing out brand new settings every few decades or a hundred years, allowing the world to evolve, warriors to progress, powerhouses to have the opportunity to understand the Dao, and Soul Beasts to have the possibility of growth, this kind of good is the real good!
This Divine Tree even fantasized about the future: [When that time comes, even if I meet with other Zhuzhou fellows, my achievements will not be shameful!]
And just as Yuan Cangmeng was fantasizing about the future.
Suddenly, heaven and earth vibrated.
As the Divine Tree Zhuzhou, the Cangmu Divine Tree shook its branches, at the end of the distant horizon, a huge concentric circle-like time-space ring suddenly appeared!
It was a time-space change that stretched for countless miles and slightly vibrated most of the world—and then, in the center of this time-space ring, a brilliant cyan crystal was condensing, growing, accumulating, and merging, eventually turning into a crystal behemoth with countless complex patterns and intricate three-dimensional structures engraved inside!
A majestic god that looked quite like a giant elephant!
[Celestial Crystal Divine Body, Rotating Dharma Seal?]
Yuan watched the fluctuations at the end of the Tiansui World in shock: [It's the Huntian Realm, a powerhouse from the Tianyou Undersea Dao?! This aura, these fluctuations...]
[Is it an incarnation of a Dao Integration powerhouse?!]
Why would a powerhouse of this level suddenly appear here!
Yuan Cangmeng had a clear understanding of its own world—far inferior to ordinary worlds with immortal and divine inheritance, a truly desolate world, not to mention the Huntian Realm, where the floating celestial lands under the command of any creator were a hundred times more valuable than its entire world.
Having said that, it didn't intend to go to the Huntian Realm, after all, a golden nest is not as good as its own tree nest, it just liked nurturing, it was a racial instinct and also a hobby.
But, such a Tiansui world that had no value to speak of, and had only a few powerhouses... what virtue and ability could attract the incarnation of a Dao Integration powerhouse from the 'Tianyou Undersea Dao', which could be regarded as a top force in the Huntian Realm, to descend!
[Could it be because of me?]
The Divine Tree Zhuzhou could only think of this possibility: [Are they lacking a potted plant, or does the garden need decoration?]
Although many thoughts flashed through its mind, only a moment passed in reality.
Moreover, it was not the same as Yuan Cangmeng imagined.
The Dao Integration powerhouse incarnation from the Tianyou Undersea Dao, the huge crystal behemoth, did not act immediately, like other Dao Integration powerhouses who plundered everything at will.
On the contrary, it very politely looked around the entire Tiansui world, and then carefully smoothed out all the time-space fluctuations, so that not even an ant would be harmed by its arrival.
After doing all this, this Dao Integration incarnation in the image of a crystal behemoth very politely flicked its nose at Yuan Cangmeng, as a gesture of greeting.
[This little friend]
It said: [My name is Zhudiwen, and I am one of the Supreme Elders of the Tianyou Undersea Dao, and I have come with sincerity and respect]
Saying this, under Yuan Cangmeng's inexplicable and even somewhat dumbfounded gaze, this Dao Integration powerhouse's incarnation even looked at the Divine Tree Zhuzhou in front of it with some caution, and then opened its mouth to express its inquiry.
[May I ask... are you a direct descendant of Zhuzhou?]
