The Heavy Secret
The Chang Dao Heavenly God has arrived outside the Great Fortune Star Realm.
He is a celestial being, and entering the Great Fortune Star Realm requires paying a price; moreover, it could easily cause chaos in the world, with far-reaching consequences.
However, after hesitating for a moment, he still stepped inside.
However, when he entered this realm, he found everything to be as peaceful as ever.
No change.
"How could a mere star realm possibly accommodate a celestial-level powerhouse?"
He couldn't help but feel somewhat surprised and uncertain.
This generation... is rather unusual.
He stood in the sky, glanced around, and then transformed into a ray of light, disappearing into a small sect.
Not long after, he left the small sect.
Through soul searching, he has gained a basic understanding of this realm.
--This realm is called the Great Fortune Star Realm because it seems to be related to the Seventh Heaven in the Divine Realm!
The seventh of the Thirty-Three Heavens of the divine realm is called the Fu Shen Tian.
Every year, the Great Fortune Star Realm also holds a grand sacrificial ceremony to offer the wishes and blessings of all living beings to the divine realm.
It is said that the whole world will be blessed by the God of Fortune at that time.
"Heh, the Great Fortune Star Realm? Connecting to the Divine Realm? Ridiculous."
Chang Dao Heavenly God did not believe in such a baseless legend at all.
Because he was born in the realm of gods, he had a clearer understanding of the situation there.
For the beings in the Thirty-Three Heavens, the mere incense offerings and prayers of a single star realm are utterly beneath their notice!
This isn't even a mosquito's leg; it's too little and too weak.
Only those who reach the galaxy level have a chance to attract the attention of the divine realm and gain the opportunity to offer incense to the divine realm!
Astral realm, star wheel, eternal realm, galaxy!
In this desolate corner of the universe, before their intervention, numerous star realms lay scattered in the cold, barren landscape, without even star wheels formed, nor constant realms born, let alone galaxies.
Moreover, if the Great Fortune Star Realm truly had Deity favor, it wouldn't be in such a dire state.
He headed directly towards the Central Continent of the Great Fortune Star Realm.
There lies the most powerful sect in the Great Fortune Star Realm— the Fu Tian Sect!
Now.
The Great Fortune Star Realm, Central Continent.
Fu Tian Sect.
The atmosphere inside the main hall was solemn.
Seated at the head of the table was an elderly man with white hair, holding a pure gold scepter in his hand. His face was extremely solemn as he spoke:
"Everyone should be aware of what has happened recently."
"The star wheel has formed... but our Great Fortune Star Realm has become a subordinate realm of other star realms!"
The old man picked up the pure gold scepter and slammed it heavily on the ground, saying:
"Our Great Fortune Star Realm is a star realm favored by the Divine Realm; how can we be a vassal of other star realms!"
His words were filled with anger!
He was Bai Songming, the Sect Master of the Fu Tian Sect.
Upon hearing this, many elders of the Fu Tian Sect in the audience couldn't help but start discussing it.
"Yes, not being able to become a seed of the eternal realm means that the Sacred Substance of our realm will gradually disappear... This is intolerable!"
"According to the formation of the star wheel, our Great Fortune Star Realm should have become a seed of the Eternal Realm... So why did things go wrong?"
Everyone was extremely indignant!
Becoming a seed of the Eternal Realm has immense benefits.
All living beings in the world will benefit.
"In my opinion, we should perhaps take action and destroy the current central star realm. Perhaps we can still save the Great Fortune Star Realm!"
At this moment, a middle-aged elder stood up and spoke. His name was Tie Hanhhan, and he was the most ambitious elder in the sect!
Everyone was taken aback upon hearing this.
Tie Hanhhan's suggestion... is indeed a bit too bold!
Their Fu Tian Sect has an ancient origin and possesses many extraordinary abilities.
Therefore, when the star wheel was formed, they vaguely saw the process of its formation through some ancient magic array.
In their prediction, the Great Fortune Star Realm would become the center and eventually become the Eternal Realm.
The news caused jubilation throughout the Great Fortune Star Realm.
But, in the end...
But it was extremely disappointing!
Their Fu Tian Sect holds sway over the Great Fortune Star Realm and is regarded by the entire world as the only sect capable of communicating with the Deity of the divine realm.
For a time, he was under immense pressure.
That's why they're discussing this now.
But... attacking the current Central World?
"In ancient records, our sect once led the entire world to conquer the Star River. In this life, why can't we recreate that glory?!"
Tie Hanhhan's eyes were icy as he stared at Sect Master Bai Songming and said:
"If the Sect Master is unsure, I suggest we immediately consult the Divine Realm!"
Upon hearing this, a strange gloom flashed in Bai Songming's old eyes, but he still nodded and said:
"Alright, let's consult the divine realm."
The elders were all delighted.
They immediately entered the most secret hall of the Fu Tian Sect.
Sacrifice God Hall.
Within this temple, an altar was built that connects to the realm of the gods.
Throughout history, only the successive Sect Master of the Fu Tian Sect have been allowed to enter this place.
Outside the main hall, there are human figurines, men, women, young and old. If you look closely, you can see that these figurines have different expressions, just like living people.
In fact, this was a living terracotta warrior!
These living terracotta figures were carefully selected from among thousands of people in the entire Great Fortune Star Realm; they were born with great fortune!
The Cultivation Method practiced by the Fu Tian Sect and the selection of talents differ from those of ordinary sects.
The greater one's innate good fortune, the more suitable one's cultivation will be, and the greater one's achievements will be.
On the contrary, some celestial-level geniuses, after cultivating, became so powerful that even their own mothers wouldn't recognize them.
Each time, the Fu Tian Sect would widely select those with good fortune. Apart from those chosen as Holy Son to be cultivated as seeds for the future Sect Master, the rest would be made into human figurines to store vows and incense offerings.
At each grand sacrificial ceremony, the human figurines, already filled with the power of prayers and incense offerings, are presented to the Deity of the divine realm.
Bai Songming and others selected a female child figurine from the collection of terracotta figures.
There is a price to pay for communicating with the Deity.
Then, Bai Songming, alone, led the terracotta figures into the main hall.
The main hall was very dark, and there was a black altar, about ten meters square.
Bai Songming closed the door to the main hall.
Then, he placed the terracotta figure on the altar with both hands.
"Your servant... offers you food, supreme Demon Venerable... please manifest and enjoy!"
He spoke in a low voice, uttering a string of obscure and eerie words.
In an instant, a black light suddenly shone on the altar.
Within the black light, it seemed as if another world existed!
A claw of some unknown beast emerged from the black light and grabbed the terracotta figure, pulling it into the darkness.
Bai Songming watched all of this silently.
After a long while, a voice finally rang out from within the black light:
What do you want?
Bai Songming then said:
"Reporting to the Demon Venerable, a star wheel has formed in this corner of the universe."
"Our Great Fortune Star Realm is not the central realm... We want to start a Star Realm War."
The being within the black light sneered and said:
"If you want our help, this isn't enough."
Bai Songming hurriedly said:
"We are willing to offer up all our terracotta warriors!"
The presence shrouded in black light still spoke with a cold indifference:
"That's still not enough. Come back and talk to us when you've found the legendary Peerless Fortune Star!"
Then, the black light disappeared.
"Demon Venerable!"
Bai Songming called out, but there was no response.
His fists were clenched, and there was a barely perceptible hint of hatred in his eyes.
"Our Fu Tian Sect, descendants of the God of Fortune, once shone brightly under the starry sky, yet we have fallen to this state..."
He was filled with grief and indignation.
This is a secret, a secret known only to him in the entire Great Fortune Star Realm.
The Great Fortune Star Realm was indeed once able to communicate with the divine realm...
Even some nearly decaying scriptures record that this star once gave birth to a god of fortune capable of entering the seventh heaven of the divine realm...
But later, it declined.
The altar that connects to the divine realm has been occupied by a great demon.
Their Fu Tian Sect once fought a great battle against that great demon, but all their experts perished.
Invincible.
In order to protect the living beings of this realm, Fu Tian Sect had no choice but to agree to the great demon's conditions.
To offer incense and prayers for them...
And to find the Peerless Fortune Star!
It has gone through countless generations of Sect Master...
At the time of each succession of Sect Master, the new Sect Master would be informed of this secret.
An extremely heavy secret.
The beings of the Great Fortune Star Realm all believed that this star realm was still protected by the Deity and that they could communicate with Deity...
But in reality, the creature that dwells in this astral realm is a bloodthirsty great demon.
It can be said that all living beings in the entire Great Fortune Star Realm are merely surviving.
However, the successive Sect Master of the Fu Tian Sect have kept this secret for countless years, allowing people to maintain their faith and live in a beautiful dream.
This is a deception, but only through deception can this world continue...
Bai Songming felt heavy-hearted. He pushed open the door and went out.
Many elders waited anxiously.
"So, has there been any instruction from the Divine Realm?"
"Would the Divine Realm be willing to lend us a hand?"
Tie Hanhhan asked expectantly, "What did the Deity say?"
Bai Songming shook his head and said:
"The divine realm... the Deity do not support our decision."
He walked away forlornly.
The crowd looked at each other, then followed him.
However, when they returned to the main hall, they discovered that in the seat of honor where Bai Songming had previously been, there was now a silver-robed middle-aged man.
The silver-robed middle-aged man exuded an incomparably powerful aura of holiness. He smiled slightly, looked at Bai Songming and the others, and said:
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Chang Dao, the God of Heaven."
Chang Dao, God of Heaven.
