421 Azure Sun Great World (1/2)
Azure Sun Great World.
One of the larger planes in the Divine Realm which also has a bit of history and fame. All of this was due to the existence of two Empyrean Knights guarding and protecting this world.
Empyrean Heaven Slayer - Howard Cromwell and Empyrean Void Obliterator - Gerald Maximilian, these two are the ones who propped up the heavens of the Azure Sun Great World.
According to history, these two were bosom friends and treated each other as eternal rivals. They always fought against each other and always tallied their wins and losses. If one broke through earlier than the other, the other would catch up shortly. Rumors said that their battle records remained even throughout their competition. Neither one was stronger than the other yet when they join hands, hardly anyone could match them.
As they were both citizens of Azure Sun Great World, they decided to settle down here and make it prosper. Under their rule, the great world regained its vitality and rose to fame. They even built a sect called Twin Star Academy, with both of them ruling it.
During these past few weeks, the Azure Sun Great World had experienced its most busiest period. The amount of social traffic was immense. Immortal Abodes, Royal Palanquins, honorable guests, youthful visitors and desperate people all flocked towards this place, seeking entry in hopes of participating on a grand event which is going to happen a few days from now.
What else is it other than the Ancient Elysium Sect's Disciple Recruitment event?
It wasn't really clear whether, spreading this news to the rest of the world, was a good idea or a bad one. Needless to say, Azure Sun Great World became increasingly boisterous during these months.
Well, it really couldn't be helped. The fame and might of Ancient Elysium Sect is just too immense. News about them recruiting disciples had always been a big deal since it only occurs once every five decades. Those who are hoping to be a disciple of the sect are just too many to count, but the badge that would give them rights to participate is just too few.
Because of the demand is too high compared to the supply, it causes some people to be driven insane by their desperation. These people would set up schemes upon schemes in order to steal a badge just so that they could participate in the event. Due to this, the crime rate on Azure Sky Planet rose to an unprecedented heights.
That being said, if though many people died, no one dared to blame the rulers of Azure Sun Great World. The first reason is due to them having two empyreans, and not just two ordinary empyreans, they have two empyreans that could coordinate well with each other. This alone is already a great deterrence for most visitors.
Another reason is because, the rise of crime rates isn't really the fault of the Azure Sun Great World's citizens, they're merely allowing the Ancient Elysium Sect use their world as a venue and nothing more. Plus, people who came here are all aware that the competition would be intense and there's bound to be casualties. Since they still decided to come here even after knowing that, then they could only depend on themselves.

At the eastern Transmission Gate of the Azure Sun Great World, great number of people were still coming out.
All of these people came from numerous corners of the Divine Realm. As soon as they came out, they will go through a preliminary security check before they were allow to pass through, resulting on a great traffic of people.
”Take him away!”
”No! No! You can't do this! This is slander!”
”Shut up! This is not a place where people like you could come and go as you please!”
”No! I refuse! Why should I be taken away! There must be something wrong here! I want to see your supervisor!”
*Smack!*
”Shut the fuck up! See my supervisor? Who the fuck do you think you are? A wanted criminal wants to see my supervisor? Hell, you'll meet him alright! But not here. Take this guy away! Make sure he's nice and comfy as he waits for Chief!”
”Roger!”
”Noo!”
”Next!”
Such a scene certainly caught many people's interest, yet all of their reactions vary. Some people sighed, others view it in contempt. Some people started feeling nervous, while the other couldn't care less.
”That fool. I don't know whether I admire him for his audacity or blame him for his stupidity.”
”There's a famous saying, 'don't underestimate what a person can do when they're desperate'. I used to take this lightly before but now I changed my mind.”
”Well, who could really blame him for being desperate? This is the Ancient Elysium Sect were talking about. If I were on his position, I'm afraid I'll do worse than that.”
