The Bell Shatters, and Its Master Dies!

On Buzhou Mountain, the ten Ancestor Witch, including Dijiang, watched the battle on Longevity Mountain. Each of them had a grim expression, for neither Taiyi nor Donghua were people they could handle.

Judging from their current strength, it seems that apart from the Dutian Great Formation, they have no other tricks up their sleeves. Individually, none of them can defeat Donghua, and even using the Dutian Great Formation, they might not be able to win.

"Elder brother, are we really going to have a final battle with Donghua? What's the difference between his current strength and that of Hun Yuan?"

Zhu Rong glanced at Dijiang unconsciously, and his heart began to waver. He was truly scared; continuing to fight Donghua in this state was no different from suicide.

Dijiang did not answer the question, but instead looked towards the Heavenly Court, his gaze deep and complex.

He slowly opened his mouth and said:

"Brothers, Donghua and Taiyi are currently engaged in a decisive battle at Longevity Mountain. After the great battles in the east and south, the demon army has suffered heavy losses. The last remaining elite force consists of the millions of soldiers at Longevity Mountain and the Star God in the Starry Sky."

"Therefore, I want to conquer the Heaven Realm, seize the fortune of the Demon Race Heavenly Court, and thus unite Heaven and Earth, allowing our cultivation to advance further. Moreover, I believe that the Dutian Great Formation will be even stronger under the unity of Heaven and Earth!"

Dijiang's words struck like a heavy hammer blow, hitting everyone's hearts; they were like a dream, yet undeniably real.

Because Dijiang spoke so much, if the Witch Clan were to launch an attack on the Heavenly Court at this time, they would be able to seize the Heavenly Court's accumulated wealth of countless eons without lifting a finger.

Is it despicable?

A little, but not much!

After all, this is a battle for supremacy, not child's play. Who wins is the most important thing, and the means by which they win are not important.

Didn't Donghua once almost try to annihilate both races in one fell swoop during the Lich War?

Who is stronger than whom?

Ancestral Witch of Thunder Qiangliang said in Qiang Liang voice, "Since elder brother has this intention, then let's do it. In the end, whether we succeed or not, as long as we can conquer the Demon Race Heavenly Court, I will be very satisfied. Even if I die in battle, it will not have been in vain for this glorious life."

Lightning and thunder are inseparable; upon hearing Qiang Liang say this, the Ancestor Witch of lightning Yue Zi, followed suit.

"I also support my elder brother's opinion. Since the demon race is no longer viable, let's take their place, gain more benefits, and then have a decisive battle with the Purple Mansion. At that time, we might have a better chance of winning. In any case, this war is bound to happen sooner or later, and we can't just surrender without a fight!"

"Yes, I support it too..."

"..."

Dijiang turned to the Ancestor Witch and said, "Alright, since all of you brothers support this suggestion, then we will divide our forces into three groups: one to attack the Heaven Realm, one to seize the Starry Sky, and one to guard Buzhou Mountain."

"Second brother, among all the brothers, besides me, you are the strongest. You, along with Zhu Rong and Gong Gong, will guard Buzhou Mountain. Do not let the demon race or the Purple Mansion seize our foundation. No matter how good the Heaven Realm is, it has little to do with us. Our roots will always be in Buzhou Mountain!"

Zhu Jiuyin nodded and said, word by word, "Please rest assured, elder brother, no one can take Buzhou Mountain from me. If Buzhou Mountain falls, it means I have already died in battle."

The two men touched their right fists together in the air as a farewell.

"Elder brother, you must also be careful. There may be other dangers in the Heaven Realm. Do not be careless."

Before parting, Zhu Jiuyin gave one last piece of advice: the Heaven Realm has Thirty-Three Heavens, each of which is a great world where not only demons live, but also countless other beings, and perhaps even some ancient monsters that have survived from the primordial Heaven Realm cultivate.

Just like Buzhou Mountain in the center, there are also some people who live in seclusion here, detached from worldly affairs, focusing on cultivating the Tao, and finding solace in the mountains, rivers, and the Tao.

Dijiang patted Zhu Jiuyin on the shoulder and chuckled softly, "Don't worry, are we Witch Clan weak? If we can't beat Donghua, can't we beat those worthless bastards? If they don't make a move, fine, but if they dare to, I'll show them what a Wu is!"

"Hahaha..."

Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter. The Witch Clan hadn't really become weaker, so why should they be afraid of those people? They were still the mighty Witch Clan!

"I was worrying unnecessarily. In this battle, let us clearly show all living beings of the Primordial Wilderness that the Witch Clan is still the same Witch Clan, still standing tall and fearless!"

"Witch!"

"Witch! Witch..."

The ten Ancestor Witch shouted in unison, and everyone seemed to return to the time when they fought against the demon race for supremacy. The fearless gods and demons had returned.

"Brother, should we let my little sister accompany you? She is very powerful and should be able to help you," Gong Gong said to Dijiang.

Dijiang shook his head in refusal, stating firmly, "My little sister will not participate in this battle, nor will she participate in any future battles. This is my decision, and no one can change it!"

"I believe that as long as my little sister is still alive, even if we all die in battle, the Witch Clan will not perish, and we will have our day of return!"

"After all, in the Primordial Wilderness, who could truly kill us, the descendants of Pangu? As long as the Three Thousand Great Daos of the Primordial Wilderness continue, we will eventually return, even if it takes Immeasurable Calamity."

"Therefore, our little sister is our hope, and the Great Witch in the Netherworld Realm is the hope of our Witch Clan, do you understand?"

"Understood!" everyone responded in unison.

At that moment, they saw their old brother return.

Dijiang was not the strongest among the Ancestor Witch, nor was he the most intelligent or strategic; in fact, he was somewhat indecisive.

However, all Twelve Ancestor Witches were willing to submit to Dijiang. This was not only because of the issue of who the leader was, but more so because of Dijiang's kindness to them and to the entire Witch Clan.

This kind of kindness comes without cost; it is genuine and wholehearted.

That's why they followed Dijiang so devotedly, not really because he was the first to be born.

It was because of brotherly affection that Dijiang treated them so well; you could say that Dijiang regarded each of them as a true brother.

In this respect, how many people can do it? Perhaps only Jieyin and Zhunti have such a relationship, remaining consistent throughout.

In fact, Jieyin and Zhunti can no longer be considered just fellow disciples; you could even say they are Dao Companion without any problem.

This is not meant to be sarcastic, but to be true. Dao Companion are not the same as husband and wife, and they do not necessarily have to be male and female.

The Northern Continent of the Primordial Wilderness was once the home of the Kunwu Divine Dynasty, the first divine dynasty of the Primordial Wilderness. Later, it was conquered by the Beast Emperor Shen Ni. The Old Ancestor Kunwu died in battle and was devoured by Shen Ni. Many Innate Deities and ancient gods of all races also died in battle.

That battle ended the Kunwu Divine Dynasty, but it also marked the beginning of the Shen Ni rebellion's dominance over the primordial Primordial Wilderness, and a Fierce Beast Dynasty was established here.

Thus, the Northern Continent became the main birthplace of Fierce Beasts. Originally, the Northern Continent was rich in Innate Spiritual Qi and flowed with Daoist charm, no less than other continents. However, in the short few dozen years of Fierce Beasts rule, it became a desolate and barren land, surrounded by fierce energy, and the environment here was even more unsuitable for the survival of Primordial Wilderness creatures.

Later, after Primordial Wilderness Fierce Beast Tribulation, the rule of the Fierce Beasts race was finally destroyed, and the north could never return to its former state.

Auspicious and malevolent energies coexist.

In terms of abundant spiritual energy, it surpasses even the Western Continent!

In terms of sheer ferocity, it surpasses even the Western Continent!

Therefore, there have never been many living beings on the Northern Continent; to be precise, there have never been many living beings born after birth.

This place is mostly the remains of various races that survived from the ancient times, some ferocious Fierce Beasts that regained their senses, as well as the remains of the opponents of the Innate Three Races, the opponents of the Witch and Demon Races, or the opponents of the Purple Mansion.

It's like the defeated people's private territory!

Of course, the Northern Continent is vast. There is the North Sea that flows through the Four Seas, the Northern Abyss, the Northern Darkness, the Ten Thousand Mountains, and the Gong Gong Terrace.

Gong Gong is a place name established when the Witch Clan ruled the Northern Continent. It was also the place of practice of the Ancestor Witch Gong Gong. Later, it was directly named after Gong Gong.

But now that place is deserted, the land is vast and desolate, and no trace of the Witch Clan remains.

Perhaps some Witch Clan continue to live in the north, but who knows? After all, the Witch Clan's population has long since flourished and is countless.

One hundred thousand mountains!

One place is called Dragon Head Mountain. Legend has it that this was the place where the Golden Dragon Ancestor of the Dragon Clan perished. He was killed here by Taotie and Qiongqi, two of the Four Fierce Beasts, during a battle against Fierce Beasts.

The dragon's body was devoured by the Taotie, and only its severed head, filled with resentment, was transformed into this mountain range by the Great Dao.

On the Dragon Head Mountain, four figures stood there, and what appeared before them was the battle above Longevity Mountain.

These four were none other than the Demon Saint Bai Ze, Shang Yang, Ying Zhao, and Ji Meng, who had disappeared from the eastern lands.

"Brother Ji Meng, I really didn't expect you to still be alive. It's so good to see you again."

Looking at the Demon Saint Ji Meng before her, Shang Yang could not hide her excitement at seeing him again. As the only female among the Ten Great Demon Sages, she had always been deeply loved by the other nine Demon Saints, who treated her like a younger sister.

Ji Meng smiled; he was happy to see these brothers who had fought alongside him again.

"I've already explained this to everyone before. In order to keep the faked death a secret, only Brother Bai Ze knew about it. Please forgive me for keeping this from you."

Ying Zhao calmly said, "These things don't matter, as long as you're alive. It's just that I didn't expect you to be able to fake your death under the Sky-Opening Divine Axe. It's truly unbelievable."

Ji Meng laughed heartily, pointing to the Dragon Head Mountain beneath his feet, and said, "I never thought I would survive. Qiongqi chopped off my head, Taotie devoured my divine body, and in the end, with only a sliver of willpower, I was reborn under the nurturing of the Great Dao."

"Haha, that's because you're very lucky, Brother Ji Meng."

"That's right, that's right, he wasn't meant to die!"

"..."

The four of them laughed and talked about the past.

At one point, Shang Yang suddenly spoke up and asked, "Brother Bai Ze, Brother Ji Meng, is what you're saying true? Has His Eastern Emperor really been corrupted by the malevolent energy? I've seen him fight with Donghua for so long, and there's nothing wrong with him. What does that trace of hidden malevolent energy prove?"

Ji Meng shook his head and said in a deep voice, "There's no mistake. I've experienced the great Fierce Beast Tribulation, so I'm very sensitive to ferocious energy. His Eastern Emperor does indeed possess the origin of ferocious energy, and that power is even more ferocious than the Taotie and Qiongqi of the past. There's absolutely no mistake about that."

Bai Ze, dressed in white with a full head of white hair, exuded the air of a refined gentleman amidst the turbid world.

He glanced at the battle scene on the screen, then looked at the crowd, and said softly, "It's alright, we'll find out as we watch. There will be a result, whether it's true or not."

"Ying Zhao, have those humans you brought been settled in?" Bai Ze asked the Demon Saint Ying Zhao after finishing his sentence.

Ying Zhao replied, "Don't worry, brother, everything has been arranged. When we slaughtered the humans, we brought back all the human men and women with good aptitude, and they've already been settled in the Hundred Thousand Mountains."

Bai Ze nodded gently and said, "That's good!"

"Give the order: none of your men are allowed to eat these humans! If even one dares to eat a human, I will punish him severely, skin him alive, and crush his bones!"

"Yes!"

Shang Yang asked, puzzled, "Brother, are we really going to use these humans to reproduce? Would those people still be considered demons?"

Bai Ze's gaze was deep as he looked towards the Ten Thousand Mountains, where many humans and demons lived together.

"What is a demon? All things with a spirit can become demons! This was our motto when we established the demon race. Have you forgotten it?"

Bai Ze turned to the crowd and asked, "Or is it that among you and me, who is a demon? Which of Di Jun, Emperor Eastern Emperor, Wa Huang, Xi Huang, and the Demon Master is a true demon? Don't forget, we are all Innate Deities."

"If even we can be demons, then why can't the offspring of humans and demons be demons?"

Shang Yang still asked with doubt, "But what exactly is your purpose in doing this? Is it really just because you're interested in these humans' aptitude? But our demon race has no shortage of talented people."

Bai Ze continued, "After this battle, the demon race will have completely withdrawn from the grand stage of the Primordial Wilderness, and it will be difficult for them to contend for supremacy again. The time for the Witch Clan to withdraw is not far off."

"After the Lich King, to whom shall this world belong?"

"I believe that the human race was created by Wa Huang, so I need to make plans in advance, using the birth of offspring between humans and demons to seize a portion of the human race's fortune. Only in this way can my demon race rest easy!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Meng and the other Demon Saint were dumbfounded. This news was hard to believe, but upon closer examination, it seemed to make sense.

The group didn't ask any more questions, but instead focused their attention on the battle at Longevity Mountain, where the situation had changed again.

Above Longevity Mountain!

The battle between Donghua and Taiyi has reached a fever pitch.

The Three Thousand Great Daos were at Donghua's command with ease; with a mere wave of his hand, he had already unleashed countless Dao powers upon Taiyi.

Just as Taiyi said, Donghua was indeed using him to practice his own Dao, after all, such an opponent is really too rare.

Nuwa is currently beyond his reach, so using her to practice the Great Dao is meaningless. The others are too easy to defeat; they can't even withstand a single move from him. Such practice is also meaningless, including against the Three Pure Ones!

Despite having broken through to the Quasi-Saint, Taishang is still no match for Donghua, even with two supreme treasures.

Leaving aside the Three Thousand Great Daos, the Hunyuan Magical Power of the Three Heavens within Donghua's body alone is enough to break through the Taishang.

Therefore, Taiyi is truly a rare and valuable experience point, so how could Donghua miss such an opportunity?

This led to the previous attacks on Taiyi by various major roads.

"Taiyi, even if I bully you, what can you do about it?"

Donghua glanced at Taiyi with disdain, showing no reaction to his anger or any fear, as if he were deliberately trying to provoke Taiyi.

As expected, after Donghua finished speaking, he unleashed a Yin-Yang handprint, or more precisely, the Heavenly Dipper Great Spiritual Powers of Chaos Yin Yang.

Donghua flipped his palm, Great Dao Power the Yin-Yang Dao covered the Sky Vault, instantly forming a Yin-Yang world, with Yang above and Yin below, Yin-Yang combined to form Yin-Yang millstone, which began to squeeze and suppress Taiyi.

The same supernatural power can have completely different effects in the hands of different people.

Taiyi on the other side was furious, but there was nothing he could do. Seeing the Yin -Yin-Yang Millstone coming at him, he then became ruthless.

He brandished the Taishi Sword in his hand, pointed it towards the sky, and the Star Dou shifted again. He was actually using the Heavenly Dipper Great Spiritual Powers of Move Stars and Change Constellations.

"That's interesting!"

Donghua chuckled, then immediately used his Hunyuan Magical Power to activate the Yin-Yang Millstone.

The Hunyuan Power was applied to the Great Dao, and in an instant, Yin-Yang Dian Dao, or perhaps they were merged into one. For a moment, it was impossible to distinguish what was Yin, what was Yang, or perhaps Hun Yuan were all one.

"Boom!"

A violent collision resounded through the Sky Vault.

The power of the starlight dissipated, the Great Dao of Stars crumbled, Taiyi was directly suppressed in the middle by Donghua's Yin-Yang Millstone.

Then came the boundless power of Yin-Yang, the Hunyuan Power began to wash away, as if trying to wash away Taiyi's Great Dao, primordial spirit, physical body, and the Chaos Bell that was united with his true form.

Actually, the last point was Donghua's real goal: to force the Chaos Bell out of Taiyi's divine body, otherwise it would be really difficult to kill him!

Although he was indeed practicing his own Great Dao before, he absolutely did not hold back at all. Every time he unleashed his Great Dao, he used his full strength, only he did not use his strongest methods.

However, it still couldn't break through Taiyi's defense, or more accurately, it couldn't break through the Chaos Bell's defense.

So the Chaos Bell is truly monstrous!

As the power of Yin-Yang Yin-Yang and the Hunyuan Power suppressed him, Taiyi's entire body began to change continuously.

Human form!

Golden Crow Form!

The phantom of the Chaos Bell!

The three states kept changing back and forth, but they still couldn't get the Chaos Bell out of Taiyi's body. Donghua was slightly surprised. He didn't expect that Taiyi and the Chaos Bell had such a high degree of compatibility. Even with the enhancement of the Hunyuan Power, they still couldn't get it out.

"If two dishes aren't enough, then I'll add another!"

"The Heavenly Emperor Steps Through Time!"

Donghua took a step forward, and the Dao of Time and Space erupted once more. A long River of Time and Space reappeared, directly suppressing Taiyi and beginning to wash over Taiyi's true form along with the Yin-Yang Great Millstone.

"Disrupting the Five Elements!"

Another Great God of the Five Elements was unleashed, and the power of the Five Elements in the world began to change. Metal, Metal Wood Water Fire Earth, and earth were arranged in order, and the Five Qi in the Chest Taiyi's chest were directly drawn out. Then they were reversed and disordered, changing from the mutual generation of the Five Elements to the mutual restraint of the Five Elements.

Taiyi felt the world changing, as if he were in dire straits, yet he himself seemed like an ordinary mortal, powerless to resist, unable to use any of the myriad Daos within his body.

His immense magical power seemed to vanish as if it had never existed, completely suppressed within the Yin-Yang Millstone, leaving him utterly frustrated.

"Town!"

A voice of the Great Dao emanated from Donghua's mouth, as if the Great Dao itself were whispering, or as if the heavens and earth were resounding. Regardless of the reason, Donghua's all-out attack had begun.

In an instant, the four Great Dao Power Yin Yang and Five Elements, and the Cycle of Time, under the blessing of the Hunyuan Magical Power, simultaneously suppressed Taiyi. The powerful suppressive force instantly forced the Chaos Bell out of his body.

The combined state of the Chaos Bell has been broken!

"Roar!"

Taiyi grabbed the Chaos Bell and roared, his voice like that of Desolate Ancient Fierce Beasts.

He then slammed his fist into the Chaos Bell, and the clear, melodious sound of the bell instantly resounded throughout Primordial Wilderness primordial world and all the realms.

"Suppress the Primordial Chaos!"

"Twist time and space!"

Although Donghua forced the Chaos Bell out, Taiyi immediately used it, instantly breaking Donghua's suppressive power.

Holding the Chaos Bell, Taiyi staggered, clearly having suffered considerable damage from forcefully breaking through the suppressing power, even sustaining serious injuries.

"Taiyi, how about it? Show me what other tricks you have up your sleeve, or don't say I didn't give you a chance!"

Donghua once again put his hands behind his back and calmly looked at Taiyi, but the space around him was filled with the Great Dao Power, and the terrifying pressure made it seem as if the space of heaven and earth was collapsing and then recombinizing.

The Three Thousand Great Daos transformed into divine wheels, standing majestically around him, making him appear like a saint!

At that moment, everyone watching the battle instantly realized that this was not a contest between equals at all; the two were not even in the same league, and Taiyi's strength was far inferior!

Donghua hasn't even used the Emperor Dao Power or other spiritual treasures yet; he's already manipulating Taiyi with just the power of the Great Dao and supernatural abilities.

"Donghua, do you really think you have me figured out so easily?"

Taiyi stood upright with his sword, his posture becoming increasingly straight, and a terrifying power gradually emanated from his body, as if it were about to destroy everything in the world.

However, it was quickly suppressed by Taiyi again.

Donghua sighed inwardly, realizing that he still hadn't managed to force out the primordial power that Hongjun had mentioned. Taiyi was truly tenacious; it seemed he would have to resort to some methods. He refused to believe that Taiyi could resist using that power.

"Donghua, you're asking for it!"

Taiyi realized at this point that Donghua had never intended to kill him from the beginning, or rather, he was waiting for him to use that part of his original power before killing him.

"If I merged with that part of the primordial power, would I still be myself then?"

Taiyi well, so he only used that part of the original power to break through to the Quasi-Saint realm, but he never thought of truly integrating that part of the original power into his body.

He was no longer himself then!

Taiyi spat out a mouthful of true blood onto the Chaos Bell, the Golden Crow Dharma Image stood behind him, all the fortune of the Demon Race Heavenly Court was mobilized, the star map stood above his head, the power of the Star Dou poured down, and all the magic power in his body was added to the Chaos Bell.

The Power Great Dao is unleashed!

The Chaos Bell grew larger again, covering half of the sky, making the world seem insignificant.

Taiyi used the same move as before, attempting to completely suppress Donghua with the power of the Chaos Bell.

Donghua used the Five Directions Innate Banners then, so what method should be used now?

In fact, Donghua has many ways to break this, and he believes that even if he uses the Five Directions Innate Banners, he can still break it.

But this time he didn't want to use any other methods.

He wanted to break it by force.

This can be considered a complete farewell to the past!

The divine wheel formed from the Three Thousand Great Daos began to rotate, and the Golden Dragon formed from the Dragon Head Golden Staff began to roar.

Donghua thrust his palms horizontally, unleashing a torrent of Emperor Dao Power that covered the entire Sky Vault.

This is the first time Donghua has used the Emperor Dao Power since the start of the battle today, which means that he is at least serious about this attack.

The suppressive power of the Chaos Bell made everyone feel palpitations, as if they would be suppressed and sent to their doom at any moment.

But the moment the power of the Donghua Emperor Dao Power was unleashed, all the suppressive power of the Chaos Bell vanished, as if it had never existed.

The immense Emperor Dao Power was poured into the Dragon Head Golden Staff, and an ancient and majestic force swept across the nine heavens.

The Golden Dragon charged towards the Chaos Bell.

The two clashed high in the heavens.

The bells rang out!

The Golden Dragon roars!

The sounds of collisions rang out continuously.

"Town!"

Taiyi pushed with all his might, and the Golden Crow Dharma Image behind him, empowered by the Power Great Dao, flew towards the Chaos Bell, where the two instantly merged into one.

The Chaos Bell's power was amplified like never before, and it began to slowly press down.

The Golden Dragon is defeated!

Donghua frowned upon seeing this; he hadn't expected Taiyi's strength to have reached this level.

"However, it was all in vain!"

Donghua took a step forward lightly, then pointed a finger, and the three thousand divine wheels behind him left his body.

The Three Thousand Great Daos instantly empowered the Golden Dragon!

The Hunyuan Power erupted, activating the Dragon Head Golden Staff.

The Golden Dragon roared upwards!

"When!"

A deafening sound resounded throughout the heavens and earth!

The golden Golden Dragon formed from the Dragon Head Golden Staff had already passed through the Chaos Bell, shattering all of its suppressing power, and struck Taiyi directly.

Taiyi's divine blood was spilled, and his divine body was directly shattered!

The Chaos Bell, however, remained stationary.

Then, cracks gradually appeared.

As the Golden Dragon's entire body passed through the Chaos Bell, a tail strike collided with the Chaos Bell!

"Bump!"

It sounded like a glass shattering!

The Chaos Bell shattered into hundreds of fragments that drifted between heaven and earth, spreading out along great paths, and revealing the primordial power of the Chaos Bell in the world.

With a flick of his finger, Donghua Five Directions Innate Banners flying out, instantly transforming into a Five Elements World, sealing the fragments of the Chaos Bell, the Great Dao, and the power of origin within it.

It then fell back into Donghua's hands!

With a single rotation, the Five Elements World, formed from the Five Directional Banners, appeared within Donghua's Purple Mansion World.

This all happened so fast!

It seemed like no one had reacted yet.

"Senior brother, I actually saw the Chaos Bell shatter! Am I too badly injured and my eyes are playing tricks on me?"

Zhunti looked at Jieyin in disbelief, then at the others, only to find that everyone else looked just as incredulous as he did.

Yuanshi unconsciously tightened his grip on the Pangu Banner, and as if still feeling unsafe, he directly withdrew it into his Inner World.

"Boom!"

A deafening explosion shook the heavens and earth, followed by a sudden downpour of blood-red rain, plunging the entire world into darkness.

The River of Time and Space erupted in chaos, and the past, present, and future instantly became confused.

The River of Destiny appeared directly in the Primordial Wilderness.

An unprecedented scene appeared in the Primordial Wilderness.

It was like the end of the world!

It was as if heaven and earth were grieving over the shattering of the Chaos Bell.

At this moment, everyone finally calmed down and realized that the Chaos Bell, one of the three great treasures of creation, had shattered!

"The Chaos Bell, which was comparable to the Hun Yuan, has shattered. Does this mean that Donghua's attack could kill someone at the Hunyuan Realm?"

This was a question posed by Heavenly Inquiry, but everyone fell silent in the face of it, or rather, they didn't want to confront it.
