Gods

The Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty was divided into two parts.

One part is a palace composed of star lords, star gods, and star monarchs, located in the sky above, like stars hanging in the sky and radiating light.

The true forms of the Star Lords, Star Gods, and Star Sovereigns are all located here.

The other part is the imperial court located in the capital, where important figures descend in avatars, or simply use avatars to reside permanently, handling all matters, large and small, of the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty.

However, the Great Dao Golden Immortal possesses extraordinary weight.

The entire Immortal Xuanhuang Realm has only a little over a thousand people, so if the Heavenly Star Lord wants to meet people from Gu Jinlai, he naturally has to show enough sincerity.

Just like now, the place where he met with Gu Jinlai was not the imperial court in the capital, nor the Heavenly Star Palace, but the governor's mansion in Tianxiang Prefecture.

The state lord's mansion was extremely grand, but this did not mean that the Heavenly Star Lord was a person who enjoyed pleasure; it was simply to maintain the majesty of a super-grade star lord of the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty.

Compared to other star deities, Tianxiang Star Deity is more like a scholar, possessing incredibly profound knowledge.

It is said that he was fully responsible for improving the miniaturization and military applications of annihilation reactors.

When Zhou Yueming, a second-tier Golden Immortal, led Gu Jinlai meet the Star Lord waiting in the hall, his appearance and temperament were just as advertised, like a scholar, full of gentle and refined manners.

Upon seeing Gu Jinlai, he stood up in casual clothes and said with a smile, "Is this the Gu Jinlai Scholar Gu Jinlai, whom our Energy Academy Cabinet has reserved? In the past year, the name of Grand Scholar Gu has resounded far and wide. Because of your great achievements, the overall combat strength of all the pilots in my Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty has increased by at least 30%, which is equivalent to adding 30,000 high-level pilots to the army."

Currently, only senior pilots, that is, pilots of level seven or above, can start the new type of nuclear reactor.

The total number of advanced mech pilots stationed in various states of the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty is approximately 100,000. The claim by Tianxiang Xingjun that he added 30,000 advanced mech pilots is not just empty talk.

"You flatter me, Celestial Star Lord. I only did what I should do."

Gu Jinlai.

As someone who has cultivated to the Great Dao and become a Golden Immortal, one's conduct is naturally no longer like that of an ordinary person, and one is no longer bound by many etiquette rules.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Tianxiang Xingjun got straight to the point. "The Xuanxian Realm... is governed by the Xuanyuan Sword Sect. I have quite an impression of the Xuanyuan Sword Ancestor from back then. Although his cultivation was not particularly profound among the many Golden Immortals, his Dao of Destruction was among the best in the Three Thousand Daos. Relying on the power of the Dao, ordinary Golden Immortals were far from his match. Even if it were me, I wouldn't be very confident in facing him outside the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty. He was truly awe-inspiring in terms of immortal power."

"The Mystic Immortal Realm..."

Upon Gu Jinlai, they went along with it, saying, "Actually, I am not really from the Mysterious Immortal Realm, but from a world called the Realm of Longevity."

As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something and directly showed the coordinates of the Realm of Immortality: "The Realm of Immortality is just what we call it. We don't know if it is recorded in the Realm of Profound Yellow."

"This location... could actually give birth to a civilization of cultivators at the Golden Immortal level?"

Tianxiang Xingjun was somewhat alarmed.

Gu Jinlai, it has been known that the definition of civilization in this world is different from that on Blue Star.

Their key measure of civilization lies in spatial activity points, that is, places where the flow of spatial pathways is strong.

The ability to attract spatial pathways and activate the surrounding space is directly related to spiritual energy.

Stars where the Great Dao of Space is not active enough, even if civilizations exist on them, are often lacking in spiritual energy and backward. Let alone developing to the scale of True Immortals or Celestial Immortals, it is difficult for even Saints or Void Immortals to be born. In fact, most civilizations often do not even have the Spirit Refining and are completely mortal worlds.

Such a world has no value or meaning to the Xuanhuang Realm.

Just like ordinary people might go to work in bustling cities to make money, or at the very least, go to small counties or towns. Who would be so bored as to go to a desolate desert or a mountain forest where there is no internet access?

What's the point?

The star map drawn by the Xuanhuang Realm during its heyday ten thousand years ago was also drawn according to this standard. However, the Changsheng Realm, where the cultivator civilization was just beginning to emerge at that time, was obviously not qualified to be marked on that star map.

Hearing the surprise in Tianxiang Xingjun's words, Gu Jinlai's heart was suddenly stirred.

Although the Immortal Realm's cultivator civilization and Celestial Master civilization have developed for tens of thousands of years, their real explosive development actually occurred within the last ten thousand years, especially several thousand years ago.

Its heyday was three thousand years ago.

At that time, true immortals and creators appeared one after another.

Over a hundred years ago, the Creator Civilization faded away, and the number of True Immortals once exceeded three digits, with rumors of thirty-six grotto-heavens.

Even after the invasion of the Demon Realm civilization, there were still forty or fifty True Immortals left.

Then, thinking back to that evil god, and...

Its enormous form, which encompasses the entire real spirit world, and may even represent the real spirit world itself...

Could it be that the rapid development of the cultivation civilization in the realm of immortality is also related to that evil god?

While pondering, Gu Jinlai spoke frankly, "Our Changsheng Realm... is not as prosperous as the Xuanxian Realm, much less comparable to the Xuanhuang Realm. I came to the Xuanhuang Realm because we encountered a great crisis in the Changsheng Realm and sought a solution. It was on the recommendation of the Xuanxian Realm that I came to the Xuanhuang Realm..."

At this point, he smiled and said, "I just didn't expect that the entire area around the Xuanhuang Realm would be affected by the power of the Devouring Great Dao, which caused some minor misunderstandings during the process of entering the Xuanhuang Realm."

Is that so?

Tianxiang Xingjun smiled and said, "It's alright. Now that you've arrived in the Xuanhuang Realm, you should naturally be a member of our Xuanhuang Realm. Over the past ten thousand years, the Xuanhuang Realm has been inclusive of all rivers and streams, and countless people have joined. As long as Scholar Gu makes enough contributions, it will not be difficult for him to be listed as a Xingjun in the future, just like me."

"The inclusiveness of the Xuanhuang Realm is truly astonishing, but my main purpose for this trip is to resolve the dangers of our world."

"Your world..."

Tianxiang Xingjun understood what Gu Jinlai meant. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Although your world is quite far from our Xuanhuang Realm, to be honest, it will take at least six thousand years, or at most ten thousand years, for our Xuanhuang Realm to pass through the area where your world is located... I have heard a saying in the mortal world: 'Where there are people, there is home.' So... why doesn't Scholar Gu simply move you, and even the others from your Changsheng Realm, to the Xuanhuang Realm?"

With the methods of the Great Dao Golden Immortals Gu Jinlai, and with several thousand years to go, completing this task is not difficult.

"Things are not as simple as you think, Celestial Star Lord."

Looking at this Star Lord from Gu Jinlai, one can sense his sincerity even from the fact that he did not say that the Xuanhuang Realm would make an exception for the Changsheng Realm.

He glanced around and said in a deep voice, "The crisis we, the Realm of Immortality, are facing is the same as that of the Realm of Profound Yellow..."

"Same?"

Tianxiang Xingjun was slightly taken aback, then his pupils shrank sharply. "The same!?"

Gu Jinlai, they nodded emphatically.

He took out a Jade Slip that Wang Xuanjing had refined.

It contains his memories of witnessing the true form of that evil god.

Upon seeing this, the Heavenly Star Lord's expression became extremely serious.

He suddenly waved his hand, and an invisible ripple spread out from him, directly sealing off the state lord's mansion.

Then he reached out and took the Jade Slip.

After sensing with his Divine Sense for a moment, his body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Although Great Dao Golden Immortals do not have the same infinite lifespan as Immortal Golden Immortals, as long as the Dao Ancestor does not eliminate the Great Dao they have cultivated, their lifespan is often measured in tens of thousands of years, and they are called "Boundless Longevity".

For every 10% increase in their compatibility with the Great Dao, they are equivalent to gaining tens of thousands of years of lifespan. Some Golden Immortals who cultivate the Great Dao of Life or the Great Dao of Time can even live for more than 100,000 years.

With such a long lifespan, Tianxiang Xingjun must have participated in the war against the evil god by the Xuanhuang Alliance ten thousand years ago.

In other words, he confronted the true form of the evil god.

Seeing the terrifying figure recorded in Wang Xuanjing's memory Jade Slip, even he felt his mind fluctuate and his thoughts shake.

"An evil god!"

Tianxiang Xingjun's voice was dry.

"Yes."

Gu Jinlai nodded. "Ten thousand years ago, the Xuanhuang Alliance, led by the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty, defeated the evil god. I came to the Xuanhuang Realm this time to find out what method the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty used to defeat the evil god, and to emulate it."

As he spoke, he glanced around and said, "The Human Emperor forged the Immortal Grotto-Heaven, so he probably already knew what kind of life form the Evil God was, right?"

The Star Lord Tianxiang was deeply moved and remained silent for a long time.

After a long pause, he said, "This matter is of great importance. I need to summon the other star lords to discuss how to deal with it, and then, depending on the circumstances, awaken His Majesty."

As he spoke, a mental fluctuation seemed to flash across his body, indicating that he had gone to contact other star lords using a special method.

Gu Jinlai, there has been no urging, only patient waiting.

Judging from this star deity's reaction...

When it comes to confronting evil gods, their goals are aligned.

After a while, Tianxiang Xingjun turned his gaze back to Gu Jinlai: "Taiyin Xingjun has convened the Xingjun Council and wishes to meet with you."

At this point, he paused for a moment to think, "You can choose to attend in person."

Gu Jinlai nodded.

At that moment, the Celestial Star Lord guided a divine thought from Gu Jinlai, soaring straight up into the heavens.

On the way, Gu Jinlai looked at Tianxiang Xingjun, who seemed to be on high alert, and although he felt this was understandable, he couldn't help but say, "Ten thousand years have passed, and I thought the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty was ready..."

Things are not as simple as you think.

Tianxiang Xingjun shook his head. "Our methods are not suited for dealing with this evil god."

"It's not this evil god..."

Gu Jinlai, he suddenly realized something and exclaimed, "This evil god... is not the same one as the evil god from ten thousand years ago!?"

"No."

Tianxiang Xingjun said, "Evil God... has never been a name for a certain life form. Strictly speaking... it belongs to a special realm of life..."

At this point, a hint of melancholy and sorrow crossed his face. "Evil God... the real name should be Fallen God."
