Departure

Coercion and enticement.

The Alliance of Myriad Realms' actions were undoubtedly a form of coercion and enticement.

They used the Xuanxian Realm as a pawn to force him to make a decision.

Only...

They seem to have misunderstood a problem.

The Xuanxian Realm is not his hometown.

Moreover, when Luo Jiuxiao, Wang Xuanjing, and others from the Xuan Yuan Sword Sect learned that an evil god existed in the Longevity Realm, they were already mentally prepared to relocate their entire sect to the Xuanhuang Realm.

The reason why a final decision has not been made is partly because they are reluctant to give up the dominant position of the Xuan Yuan Sword Sect in the Xuanxian Realm, and they are willing to be the head of a chicken rather than the tail of a phoenix.

On the other hand, it is also because they see hope in people throughout Gu Jinlai.

If Gu Jinlai truly possible to arrange for them to enter the Xuanhuang Realm and grant them a certain status...

They don't need to be too high up; just give them a place to live, and they will be eternally grateful.

If he could also bestow upon them a portion of the Myriad Spirits Divine Essence, helping them both achieve the Great Dao Golden Immortal realm and enjoy boundless longevity, they would not hesitate for a moment even if it meant abandoning the Xuan Yuan Sword Sect immediately.

Therefore, using the Mysterious Immortal Realm to threaten the Gu Jinlai is destined to have no effect.

However, the actions of Yuan Sheng and others displeased Gu Jinlai.

Although his initial contact with the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty was not pleasant, the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty's decision to capture or even kill those wandering Nine Heavens Immortals was not benevolent.

But the Alliance of Myriad Realms is clearly not a good person either.

After some thought, he made a decision.

"I need to understand the situation clearly before I can give a reply."

This Gu Jinlai.

When Yuan Sheng saw Gu Jinlai release his grip, a look of relief immediately appeared on his face. "Of course. If Scholar Gu doesn't believe me, you can have the Heavenly Star Lord deliver a message. Then you will know who can save your Xuanxian Realm."

"I want to know what you intend for me to do, and what benefits I will get in return?"

Gu Jinlai, pausing for a moment. "If the Xuanxian Realm is truly destroyed, it would indeed be regrettable. However, there should still be some time before the Xuanxian Realm is captured and destroyed by the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty. In this short time, I cannot save the entire Xuanxian Realm, but it is not difficult to save those related to me and some core members of the Xuanxian Realm."

Yuan Sheng smiled slightly upon hearing this.

He knew that this saying, from Gu Jinlai, was meant to prove that he would not accept coercion.

But...

While the Myriad Realms Alliance may employ some unethical methods in its actions, the benefits they ultimately offer are irresistible to even the most powerful Golden Immortals.

This is also the reason why the Myriad Realms Alliance has been able to exist peacefully for thousands of years and continue to fight against the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty.

"Of course, now that Scholar Gu has joined our Myriad Realms Alliance, he is naturally one of our own. We have never been stingy with our own people!"

Yuan Sheng continued, "Our request is the same as last time. We hope to obtain the most advanced third-generation nuclear reactor technology from the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty through Scholar Gu. It would be even better if we could obtain fourth-generation nuclear reactor technology. I heard that Scholar Gu has now joined the fourth-generation nuclear reactor project overseen by Tianxiang Star Lord."

After saying that, he immediately added, "As long as Scholar Gu hands over the most advanced third-generation nuclear reactor technology to our Myriad Realms Alliance, I will immediately ask the Alliance Leader to intervene and sever the connection between the Xuanxian Realm and the Xuanhuang Realm. If Scholar Gu can obtain the data on the fourth-generation nuclear reactor, our Myriad Realms Alliance is willing to give Scholar Gu a top-grade immortal artifact!"

Third-generation nuclear reactors are nothing compared to anything in Gu Jinlai.

He can actually provide it right now without any risk.

However, once he hands this information over to the Myriad Realms Alliance, he will undoubtedly be on their side, giving them leverage over him. It won't be so easy for him to get away from it then.

However, he did not refuse immediately. After thinking for a while, he put forward his request. "Putting everything else aside, I need to cultivate the Cultivation Method and methods of Spirit Refining of an immortal golden immortal."

"Cultivation Method and Spirit Refining methods to reach the Immortal Golden Immortal realm?"

Yuan Sheng was taken aback.

Mu Wuying, standing beside him, was also somewhat surprised. "Scholar Gu has only recently entered the Golden Immortal Realm, hasn't he? The cultivation of a Golden Immortal is not that simple..."

"You're overthinking it. I just want to obtain a method that can directly lead to becoming an immortal Golden Immortal, so as to avoid the trouble of changing Cultivation Method later."

This Gu Jinlai.

Yuan Sheng, Mu Wuying, and the others exchanged glances.

Although the cultivation Cultivation Method and Spirit Refining methods for reaching the Immortal Golden Immortal realm are extremely expensive, this is the first request Gu Jinlai made. If they refuse outright, the subsequent transaction will likely be very difficult to proceed.

In any case, let's get people from Gu Jinlai onto their ship first.

At that moment, Yuan Sheng said directly, "Okay, but what do you plan to provide?"

"I have a lot of information about fourth-generation nuclear reactors, and I can exchange it with you."

This Gu Jinlai.

"Information on fourth-generation reactors?"

Yuan Sheng pondered for a moment, considering that they had to rely on the power of the Myriad Realms Alliance to save the Xuanxian Realm Gu Jinlai, and that he probably wouldn't resort to any underhanded tactics, so he nodded. "However, we need to verify it first."

Gu Jinlai took out a Jade Slip and handed it to him.

These are all technological data, which the Alliance of All Realms can obtain simply by making contact with any technological civilization; in reality, they have no value whatsoever.

Yuan Sheng took the Jade Slip and began to examine it. After only a short while, he frowned.

He himself was highly educated and had done sufficient research on nuclear reactors, which was one of the reasons he was sent here to make contact with people from Gu Jinlai.

But what's recorded in this Jade Slip...

It's too complicated.

These things are simply beyond his comprehension in a short period of time.

However, he could still barely determine that this was indeed production data related to the black hole reactor.

He nodded immediately. "Okay, but you only have some information. We can only give you the Spirit Refining Method that allows you to cultivate to the Immortal Golden Immortal realm."

"Only a single method of Spirit Refining?"

Gu Jinlai had a slight frown.

"Although it is Spirit Refining, it is very suitable for you. I know that you previously switched to the Star Chart, right? The Star Chart is actually transformed from the Star River Chart... and the Star River Chart is also the most widely circulated Golden Immortal level Spirit Refining Method in the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty."

Yuan Sheng paused slightly at this point, saying, "Because this Spirit Refining Technique was originally inherited from the legacy of Xi Huang, one of the Three Sovereigns—the Innate Star River Chart. The Star River Chart was simplified from the Spirit Refining part of this legacy. The simplified Star River Chart can only allow one to cultivate to the peak of the Heavenly Dao, equivalent to the ninth level of the Golden Immortal. Whether one can comprehend the tenth level of the Divine Dao depends entirely on personal fortuitous opportunity. However, my Alliance Leader Hao of the Myriad Realms Alliance once pursued the legacy of Xi Huang and improved the Star River Chart based on a part of the legacy, enabling it to cultivate to the twelfth level, which is the peak of the Divine Dao."

"Can."

Gu Jinlai nodded. "The transaction shall take place at this time tomorrow."

"Then I will await the arrival of Scholar Gu."

Yuan Sheng knew that Gu Jinlai still needed to confirm the authenticity of the news with Tianxiang Xingjun, so he smiled slightly.

"Farewell."

Gu Jinlai bowed slightly and quickly left.

Gu Jinlai quickly returned to the Energy Academy and immediately contacted Tianxiang Xingjun.

After joining the project team, he was qualified to contact Tianxiang Xingjun directly.

At the same time he contacted Tianxiang Xingjun, Tianxiang Xingjun's message arrived.

"Scholar Gu? Your message comes at the perfect time. Come to my governor's mansion; I have something to discuss with you."

The Heavenly Star Lord said.

Looking at this news, Gu Jinlai even wondered if the Myriad Realms Alliance had acted carelessly and the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty had noticed something.

Fortunately, when they actually met, the news brought by Tianxiang Xingjun made him realize that he had been overthinking things.

"Do you still remember what I said not long ago about the evil god in your hometown, the Realm of Immortality?"

As Tianxiang Xingjun spoke, he quickly added, "We reported this matter to His Majesty the Human Emperor at the time, and he responded not long ago."

The star lord took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Based on His Majesty's response, we have decided to send the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty to the space tunnel, to the Xinhuo Star Sea, to follow the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors."

"Um?"

Gu Jinlai was taken aback, but quickly realized something. "The Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty wants to drive the Immortal Xuanhuang Realm away from this star field?"

"Yes."

Tianxiang Star Lord nodded and continued, "Although this star field we are in is much safer than the Xinxing Star Sea, our Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty built this Immortal Xuanhuang Grotto-Heaven as a military camp and training ground. After years of training, generations of pilots have emerged in great numbers. It is time to go to the battlefield and show the results of these years."

He paused slightly, then smiled bitterly, "The actions of the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty towards the surrounding worlds in recent years have aroused the wrath of heaven and the resentment of the people. Therefore... we plan to leave. As for how the surrounding worlds will deal with themselves... whether they will face further attacks from evil gods... we can only hope for the best for them."

After hearing this Gu Jinlai, no one could say whether the decision made by the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty was right or wrong.

"I have come to you because I hope you can make a decision as soon as possible on whether or not to relocate the people of your world to leave with us. If you are willing, we can open a dimensional gate through a special method to connect to your world, and with the help of some manpower and resources... it will not be long before we can complete the relocation of the beings in your world."

As Tianxiang Xingjun spoke, he paused slightly and said, "Based on your contributions, I am willing to grant you a place to settle your people."

The number of people that Tianxiang Prefecture can accommodate is not large, only a few billion.

But this is also the result that Tianxiang Xingjun (天相星君) achieved with his utmost effort.

After all, the Immortal Xuanhuang Realm is now much smaller than it was back then, when it was considered a cosmic wonder.

But this means that out of the more than 20 billion people in the world of immortality, probably 80% or 90% will have to be abandoned.

Especially...

Gu Jinlai, the true purpose of fighting against evil gods has not only been to save the world of immortals, but also the Blue Star.

Therefore...

"I'm sorry, Star Lord, I..."

"You don't need to apologize to me, I understand."

Tianxiang Xingjun sighed.

Many people make obviously unwise choices, like those made in Gu Jinlai.

He then took out a Jade Slip: "This is the small world casting method you requested. I'll give it to you first. After you submit the newly improved third-generation reactor model, you can leave."
