For the past year or so, Slaughter Flame Divine General Hong Ru had been living quite comfortably.
His previous assignments had not gone particularly well, but ever since he had taken charge of overseeing the divine kingdoms, life had become exceedingly pleasant for Hong Ru.
The divine kingdoms he supervised were in fact some of Great Zhou's marquisates and commandery kingdoms. Whether kings or their national teachers, none could stand straight before him—a personal disciple of a Divine King, the Slaughter Flame Divine General.
Before these divine kingdoms, Hong Ru was like the Supreme Emperor.
His life could not have been more comfortable.
Especially in the Tianming Divine Kingdom, where he had luxuriated to the utmost.
The Tianming Divine Kingdom's original Grand National Teacher had naturally been Ming Tang, but Ming Tang had been killed by Ye Zhen.
The Nine Sun Divine King had once paid attention to the matter and given Hong Ru an opportunity to avenge Ming Tang.
Though it had merely been a matter of pulling strings, Ming Tang and the Nine Sun Divine King had, after all, once been master and disciple.
But as the strength Ye Zhen displayed became ever more astonishing, Hong Ru simply cast the matter to the back of his mind.
Yet the post of Grand National Teacher of the Tianming Divine Kingdom could not remain vacant.
Moreover, the Tianming Divine Kingdom was one of the more successful divine kingdoms established by the Heaven Temple, making the position of Grand National Teacher especially important.
Hong Ru simply took the position for himself.
For Heaven Temple cultivators in the Creation Realm, every breakthrough into a major realm required an oceanic quantity of Power of All Beings.
Within the Heaven Temple, under normal circumstances, there were no divine positions below Divine Kings.
