Chapter 1531 - Behind The Scenes (1/2)
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
The Heaven World had four continents: East Divine Continent, South Support Continent, West Oxen Continent, and North Reed Continent.
The four continents were all extremely vast, and filled with Spiritual Qi and resources.
Cultivators from the western universe all cultivated in the West Oxen Continent after entering the Heaven World. It was also divided into more domains according to different geographical locations.
The Shatuo Heaven Domain was a barren domain at the edge of the West Oxen Continent.
When a G.o.d was produced in the worlds of the western universe, they almost all stayed in Shatuo after entering the Heaven World. They could only leave after improving the ranking in the Ten Thousand Worlds Merit Rank, and then enter a richer domain.
Now, Kunlun’s Field was number 2,744 on the ranking. It was 549th in the western universe, so it didn’t have to stay in the Shatuo Heaven Domain anymore. It could have a better cultivation environment.
But Guanghan Field had gone from fourth to last on the rank to third to last.
This meant that, even with Zhang Ruochen’s full efforts, he’d only temporarily helped the Moon G.o.ddess save Guanghan Field. He gained the field some time to breathe.
When h.e.l.l Blade Field or another battleground was destroyed, the merits battle would start again.
Whether Guanghan Field could win or not was still unknown.
The Moon G.o.ddess clearly knew this too. “One hundred thousand years ago, Guanghan Field was in the top 100 of the western universe. It was a powerful and renowned world. Unfortunately, after a change, it kept failing, bullied by the Heaven World, taken advantage of, swallowed, enslaved… This time, if you and I hadn’t hurried back, Guanghan Field would’ve been at the bottom and fallen towards complete destruction.”
“A change occurred to Guanghan Field 100,000 years ago too?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
“In a way, the change was heavily related to Kunlun’s Field. Your cultivation is still too low now, so there’s no point in letting you know. When you reach a certain level, I will tell you.”
Zhang Ruochen grew thoughtful. “Could it be related to that Flame G.o.d from the Merits G.o.dly Palace?”
Hearing the words “Flame G.o.d,” the Moon G.o.ddess’s starry eyes grew much colder.
She didn’t say anything, but Zhang Ruochen could tell that the changes of Kunlun’s Field and Guanghan Field must be related to him.
“Zhang Ruochen, you must remember something,” the Moon G.o.ddess reminded him. “In the Heaven World, G.o.ds cannot attack a Saint, but if a Saint blasphemes, the G.o.d can still kill him.”
“I understand.” Zhang Ruochen nodded and then asked, “Earlier, you said that Guanghan Field was bullied by the Heaven World, taken advantage of, swallowed, and enslaved. What does that mean? How could this be?”
The Moon G.o.ddess’s eyes grew even colder. “During the change 100,000 years ago, the G.o.ds of Guanghan Field practically all died. Only the tree G.o.d was still alive, but he had to support Guanghan Field, so his true body couldn’t come to the Heaven World.
“A world with top treasures of the heaven World but without a G.o.d to protect it… Can you imagine the result?
“Ninety thousand years ago, Guanghan Field was in the Mythical Fairy Heaven Domain in the center of the West Oxen Continent. It was pressured by Aofei Red Field and had to pay tribute to it every year. Guanghan Field paid large numbers of saintly sources, medicines, weapons, and even a portion of the merits.
“Eighty thousand years ago, Guanghan Field’s merits rank slipped down and had to leave the Mythical Fairy Heaven Domain. We came to the Sh.e.l.l Heaven Domain. There, we were insulted and bullied by Ruiya Field.”
…
“In 100,000 years, Guanghan Field virtually became emptied. Our wealth was practically all robbed and we became the weakest field of the western universe.” The Moon G.o.ddess was very emotional. Extreme fury burned inside her.
Guanghan Field had once been a top world with a rich heritage. It ruled over the West Oxen Continent. But now, it had fallen to the point of giving tribute to other worlds every year in order to survive. How could she bear it as the G.o.d of this world?
Zhang Ruochen let out a long sigh, feeling the cruelty of the Heaven World.
A person who wasn’t strong enough would be bullied.
A world that wasn’t strong enough would be taken advantage of and enslaved.
“Does Guanghan Field still have to give tribute to the strong worlds of the Shatuo Heaven Domain?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
The Moon G.o.ddess shook her head. “The other worlds of the Shatuo Heaven Domain are all weak. Of course, there are big differences between each of us, but weak worlds aren’t completely unable to fight back. Plus, with the rise of Emperor Jimie and the Wu Ancestor, Guanghan Field isn’t afraid of challenges. So, no world in the Shatuo Heaven Domain can force us to give tribute.”
The most important figures for a world to become powerful were the Supreme Saints, not the G.o.ds.
A G.o.d didn’t have territory and was unable to fight. Only Supreme Saints could fight for better land and engage in battle.
Guanghan Field had people like the Wu Ancestor, Emperor Jimie, and Supreme Saint Jiuling, so they could stand their ground in the Shatuo Heaven Domain and not fear pressure from other worlds. Even if the other worlds sent Supreme Saints to steal a high-quality domain, the three figures could steal it back.
The Moon G.o.ddess changed the topic. “But there’s a force that is trying to destroy Guanghan Field completely. Any cultivators who leave the Shatuo Heaven Domain will get repressed or even killed.”
“What kind of force is that arrogant?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
The Moon G.o.ddess shot him a look. “That force once caused Kunlun’s Field to be beyond redemption. One hundred thousand years ago, the world that followed Kunlun’s Field was also affected. That cleansing lasted for 100,000 years and still hasn’t ended. As Chi Yao brings Kunlun’s Field back into the Heaven World, that force will definitely reappear. You can say that Chi Yao and Kunlun’s Field will face a much bigger challenge than us. If you want to survive and take revenge, you must face the difficulties and open a b.l.o.o.d.y path in the black shadows and difficulties. Then, you may see the light of dawn.
“This path is extremely difficult. You may be mercilessly repressed even if you risk everything and still die.”
Zhang Ruochen felt very depressed, but he also understood something. One hundred years ago, Guanghan Field had been one of the worlds that followed Kunlun’s Field.
