After being at a stalemate for a while, the two of them had no choice but to bury the hatchet amidst their wariness for each other. Huang Shan was conferred the title of Prince Wu and took over a region, establishing the feeling of a country within a country.

However, this was clearly not something that Zhao Hao was willing to see. With the reinforcement from the Lives’ Wisdom Seal, Zhao Hao spent a tremendous amount of time training in seclusion. He kept on making use of the wisdom from all lives in the world to help him derive Fang Xingjian’s martial art legacies and continued attaining breakthroughs in his cultivation.

Huang Shan was naturally unwilling to be under the rule of a lowborn person from the lower realm. He secretly got into contact with Tang Xian, wanting the two of them to join forces to kill Zhao Hao and split the world evenly between themselves.

Therefore, the two of them joined forces to attack Zhao Hao who had been training in the palace in seclusion. Zhao Hao was forced to escape after sustaining serious injuries.

Huang Shan and Tang Xian condensed a clone with a hint of their martial will and ruled over the world in Zhao Hao’s appearance.

Zhao Hao lay low and quietly accumulated powers. It was also from this moment that the rule over the empire changed hands, and a large half of his Heavenly Emperor’s Dragon Fist was crippled. He was left with no choice but to study other martial techniques from Fang Xingjian’s martial art legacies.

For a year, he kept on being pursued by Huang Shan and Tang Xian crazily, with them wanting to kill him. However, he did not feel dejected. Instead, he continued improving, integrating the high-dimensional sword arts and Nine Lives Helix. Then he turned the Heavenly Emperor’s Dragon Fist that had 28 stances into the Dragon Fist which had ten stances, attaining great success in his martial arts. Following that, he strived to attain tier seven of the Divine level.

One month later, Zhao Hao challenged Tang Xian and Huang Shan to a battle at the Heavenly Mountain’s peak with his cultivation at tier seven of the Divine level.

Under the starry sky, Fang Xingjian continued to watch the Central Continent that was still accelerating, witnessing every single change occurring to Zhao Hao.

At the side, Urethai went from frowning at the very beginning to feeling anxious and then eventually falling silent. There were too many indescribable things that filled up his eyes.

Fang Xingjian said calmly, “What are people’s destinies made up from? Within just a few days’ time, they went into a path that ordinary people would not be able to take in their entire lives. They obtained power that ordinary people would never be able to imagine. All these were just things I had casually bestowed upon them.

“Then, in the eyes of the demonic gods, are we no different from Zhao Hao as well?”

Urethai did not say anything. There was also a hint of befuddlement that flashed in the depths of his gaze as he watched the Central Continent that was accelerating continuously.

The cultivation that they had achieved after spending many years, exhausting endless amounts of effort, and experiencing countless bouts of suffering was easily caught up to by others thanks to Fang Xingjian’s involvement.

To begin with, Zhao Hao was a far cry from Fang Xingjian in terms of aptitude, resources, legacies, character, and will. The greatest reason why Zhao Hao could achieve such great success was that Fang Xingjian had imparted his martial art legacies to him.

How was it any different from this to the perspective the demonic gods had of them?

Even if ordinary Knights were to spend countless years cultivating, the years of cultivation could not be compared with a single divine art bestowed by the demonic gods.

A cultivator might turn out to be inferior to you at the point of their birth in terms of their aptitude, background, and will. Due to these innate reasons, they would end up always being surpassed by you.

Meanwhile, a person who was superior to you in terms of their aptitude, background, and amount of effort devoted could end up being stepped under your feet. The person could forever be unable to turn the tables around, just because of a single thought from an existence who was superior to them.

Then what were the factors that differentiated the strong from the weak?

At the thought of this, Urethai could only sigh and say, “It might be because this multivariate universe isn’t fair to begin with.

“Some people might possess power and influence that you’ll never be able to surpass in your entire lifetime from the moment of their birth. Just a single thought from them could completely wipe out you, your people, and your civilization.
