Primal Chaos Blade Path: Divergence
Council Hall, the lords debated how to train the next generation of Xing Zhe.
"We've already reclaimed many important resources and raised the exchange threshold," Lord Wulan couldn't help but say. "Jin, do you think we need to continue cutting resources? At this rate, we have far too few resources!"
Where is it lacking?
Jin sat there, shaking his head, and said, "When Yuan was weak, there wasn't a single lord in the entire Cultivator Faction. There were simply no good resources back then! Yuan could only comprehend the operation of the Source World's fundamental rules, yet he still became a lord, didn't he? When I was weak, there was only one lord in the Cultivator Faction, Brother Yuan, and resources were also scarce. Didn't I still manage to get through it all?"
"Look at Luo Feng!" Jin said. "Luo Feng rose from the very bottom of a weak 'Original Universe' in his home Source World, the Origin World! Resources were negligible. Later, after many hardships, he arrived at the core area of Source World, the 'Origin Continent,' which was still very poor! At that time, the richest countries on the Origin Continent were two Two Great Ancient Nations!"
"After Luo Feng left the Source World and arrived in the Nine Rivers Holy World, he was still very poor. He couldn't even afford the Primal Chaos Bloodline; he could only buy scraps of materials from Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform," Jin said. "What does that mean?"
"This shows that having fewer resources actually allows them to squeeze out greater potential," Jin said. "Giving them too many resources makes these younger generations less appreciative of them."
Luo Feng smiled and nodded, "Brother Jin knows me quite well, and I agree with what you said! We need to get the younger generation of Xing Zhe used to the 'poor cultivation method,' where resources are scarce enough, yet they can still reach the God King Ultimate Realm. This means they are worth cultivating."
"The conditions are extremely rare. Reaching the God King Ultimate Realm or becoming Half Primal Chaos is far more difficult than it is now. Those selected in that way, when they come into contact with top-tier resources, might be able to break free from their Cage," Luo Feng said.
He himself tries to squeeze every last drop of potential from every resource.
"Luo Feng's cultivation path also proves one point," Yuan said. "After he entered the God Emperor stage, he was groping his way in the dark, without drawing on any inheritance."
"We left behind some traditions, but it turns out they were actually harmful!" Wulan agreed.
The more powerful an entity is, the greater its influence and legacy, making it difficult for future generations to forge their own paths.
"I believe that any tradition that breaks free from Cage should not be passed on," Yuan said. "Let the younger generation explore it for themselves."
"Agreed."
"Agreed."
The lords all nodded.
They had taken detours, and all their previous experiences proved one thing: to become a lord, one must figure it out on one's own!
"As for resources? In this era, we'll follow Luo Feng's experience," Yuan said with a smile. "Let the younger generation grow up with scarce resources! Once they've become sufficiently outstanding, then we'll provide them with the appropriate resources."
"Agreed."
"Agreed."
One by one, the votes were taken. Following the established rules, the training experience for the new era will draw more attention to the experience of the new lords' breakthroughs.
"Brother Luo Feng also rose from the Source World," Moman remarked. "To date, all eight lords have emerged from the Source World. This shows that although the billions of worlds we have created have a greater number of living beings, their talents and aptitudes are flawed."
"The world we created is fundamentally different from the Source World," Yuan said.
As someone who has mastered the Primal Chaos Rule Operation Way, he has always sought to create a Source World, but he has never been able to do so.
"In the future, resources should be allocated more towards the Source World," Wulan said. "After all, only in the Source World can new lords be born."
"I believe that 'catastrophe-type Xing Zhe's should be eliminated from the entire Cultivator Domain," Luo Feng said. "A Xing Zhe can use all living beings in the entire Source World as resources! He may achieve something, but he cuts off the hope of all other living beings in the entire Source World."
Luo Feng could understand grudges, love and hate, and the law of the jungle.
But those who are themselves catastrophic, slaughtering all living beings in an entire realm, and even reaping the lives of all beings in the Source World through countless reincarnations—such Xing Zhe should not exist.
"Brother Luo Feng, I am Xing Zhe of the Cataclysmic Realm!" Jin said, looking at Luo Feng.
"I guess so too." Naigu looked at Luo Feng.
Jin looked at Luo Feng and said, "I was born to be Destruction Demon Race. Under the influence of the Source World, destroying all living beings is my destiny! By sinking into destruction and controlling destruction, I finally became a lord."
"For the sake of my cultivation path, all living beings should serve as my resources," Naigu said calmly. "Even in the future, I will still need the corpses of the progenitors as my resources."
"Every path has its own meaning!" Jin looked at Luo Feng. "Cataclysmic Cultivator have their own reason for existence."
"Pure destruction cannot give birth to life!" Luo Feng said. "Even you have comprehended some of the mysteries of life."
The Primal Chaos Destruction Path that Jin possesses actually contains one-tenth of life; otherwise, it would not be able to form a life form.
"I must first succumb to destruction in order to ultimately transcend and control it," Jin said. "Every Xing Zhe has a different path! No path should be restricted in its growth; any path can give birth to a lord."
Minghuang said coldly, "A path that commits heinous crimes and destroys countless lives should not exist!"
"What is sin?" Naigu looked at Minghuang. "In this Infinite Primal Chaos Space, there is only strength and weakness. Sin is merely your own perception. Minghuang, you are too narrow-minded!"
"We are all living beings," Luo Feng said. "We should have compassion for the weak, for we were all born from weakness."
"The strong prey on the weak; to die because of the weak—that is fate," Naigu said calmly.
Yuan felt a headache coming on when he saw this.
Over the long years, the lords also had their conflicts.
Jin, Naigu, Moman belong to the same faction. Of course, Lord Moman is not as extreme as Jin and Naigu. Lord Moman appreciates the "survival of the fittest" training method.
Minghuang is kind-hearted, Wulan also admires Minghuang, so they are on the same side.
The primordial spirit encompasses everything, while the Xingmang acts as an observer, not participating in the struggle.
"It seems that Minghuang and Luo Feng have similar attitudes, and they will fight even more fiercely in the future," Yuan said helplessly.
Previously, the strongest opposition, 'Minghuang', was somewhat outnumbered, but with the addition of 'Luo Feng' who Yi Li Po Fa, the power of the two factions gradually became balanced.
"Pity the weak? The Innate Primal Chaos Lifeform Faction will not pity the weak." Jin retorted, "Luo Feng, you also cultivate the Primal Chaos Life-Death Path, don't you understand that the weak will eventually be destroyed."
"Gold! Destruction is to protect life!" Luo Feng looked at him.
Both sides have conducted in-depth research on life and destruction, but their directions are clearly different.
"Harsh environments are what help them grow," Moman said. "Brother Luo Feng, you also faced catastrophe-like beings when you were growing up! When you were weak, you faced the Golden Horned Beast. Later, you faced the World Beast! These Cataclysmic Cultivator can provide other Xing Zhe with powerful motivation."
"The Cataclysmic Cultivator we need to target are beings capable of annihilating all life in the Source World," Luo Feng said. "Faced with such beings, weak Xing Zhe don't even have a chance to resist!"
"Alright."
Yuan finally spoke up, "Stop arguing, let's stick to the old rules!"
"First, if you lords have any ideas, you can implement them within your own 'absolute territories.' In the other vast areas of the Cultivator Domain, we should still follow the free-range strategy."
"Second, if persuasion fails, then rely on strength. Whoever can defeat the other lords who join forces will do as he says. If not, then all of you will have to endure it."
Upon hearing Yuan's words, the lords fell silent.
Defeating the combined forces of other lords single-handedly? No one in the entire Infinite Primal Chaos Space could do that.
"There's nothing I can do," Luo Feng sighed inwardly.
The lords disagreed on some of each other's ideas and could only seek common ground while reserving differences.
When he was weak, Luo Feng thought that becoming a lord would allow him to set the rules entirely according to his own ideas. But now that he has become a lord, he realizes that... there are still limited things he can change.
Not to mention the enemy camp, even within our own camp, decisions were made jointly by all eight lords.
"Next thing." Yuan immediately began on the next matter, "The birth of a new lord requires a grand celebration according to custom."
The birth of a lord is rather special.
In the Innate Primal Chaos Lifeform Faction, the birth of several progenitors would not be celebrated. Only the birth of an 'immortal and indestructible' being, who would have a place in the Eternal Land, would be celebrated with great fanfare.
Each lord is worthy of the attention of the entire Infinite Primal Chaos Space, and naturally has a place in the Eternal Land, where a celebration will be held.
"Let's reclaim our territory first," Luo Feng said. "We Cultivator Domain Three Thousand Six Hundred World Cluster, and many of them haven't been reclaimed yet. We'll hold a celebration after we've reclaimed our territory."
"Okay, we'll go with your idea." Yuan nodded. "Our most crucial task now is how to reclaim our territory."
The eight lords began to discuss the matter.
Internally, they have disagreements.
Towards the outside world, they still stand together. Even Jin and Naigu, with their strong personalities, know how much the Cultivator Faction can help them.
Soon, a complete plan for reclaiming the territory was successfully formulated, and each of the eight lords had a task.
The Initial Land, Tian Yuehai Cave Residence.
At this moment, a bustling crowd of High-Tier Primal Chaos Lifeform were outside the cave abode.
They were extremely excited, discussing among themselves, and waiting for Lord 'Luo Feng' to summon them.
"The last time I saw the lord, he was only a half- Primal Chaos Lifeform. In the blink of an eye, less than two thousand epochs have passed, and the lord has reached the pinnacle and even ended the war." The thin old man 'Cheng' was quite excited. A large group of companions had gathered around him. They were a group of High-Tier Primal Chaos Lifeform from the Dark World Cluster.
In the past, the Dark World Cluster was insignificant.
Currently, the Dark World Cluster is Lord Luo Feng's homeland! It is Lord Luo Feng's 'absolute territory'!
"Our Dark World Cluster has become the absolute territory of the Lord. It will be ten or a hundred times more prosperous in the future."
"We fellow villagers will also be given important positions."
Outside of absolute territories, the land is left to its own devices! Furthermore, the territory is re-divided when a new lord is appointed. Therefore, only 'absolute territories' receive the full attention and development of their lords, naturally leading to their extreme prosperity.
In addition to tens of millions of High-Tier Primal Chaos Lifeform, there were also 23 World-Level Primal Chaos Lifeform waiting outside the cave abode.
Heavenly Wolf Guest is among these 23 World-Level Primal Chaos Lifeform.
"Brother Sirius, you're from the same hometown as the Lord! As the only World-tier Primal Chaos born in the Dark World Cluster, you'll definitely be highly valued by the Lord." A companion beside him said with a smile, "I'm sure you'll be chosen for one of the three patrol positions."
Most of the other World-Level Primal Chaos Lifeform looked at Heavenly Wolf Guest with envy.
After all, he's from the same hometown as the lord! It's normal for him to be highly valued.
"When the lord first came to the Initial Land, tens of thousands of High-Tier Primal Chaos Lifeform from the same world group went to pay their respects, but this Heavenly Wolf Guest didn't!" World-tier Primal Chaos 'Candlefire' watched from the side.
Suddenly--
An invisible wave is descending!
The 23 World-Level Primal Chaos Lifeform and over ten million High-Tier Primal Chaos Lifeform all fell silent, feeling their own insignificance under such terrifying aura.
A man dressed in black with black hair descended from nothingness.
Heavenly Wolf Guest looked at this being; only now was he seeing his lord, Luo Feng, for the first time! As World-tier Primal Chaos born from an absolute territory, he would be under Lord Luo Feng's command for countless years to come.
"Greetings, Lord!"
All twenty-three World-Level Primal Chaos Lifeform bowed respectfully.
"Greetings, Lord."
Over ten million High-Tier Primal Chaos Lifeform were all extremely respectful.
Only by truly facing the lord in person can one understand the insurmountable gap between oneself and the lord!
