Only Through Self-Reliance Can One Be King!

"Is everything handled?"

"Um."

"It's all taken care of. All the Cold Beast Clan that should have been killed have been executed. All the high-ranking Cold Beast are wiped out, except for a small branch..."

"According to our ancestors' wishes, we should leave behind a lineage for future generations, then raise them in captivity, harvesting them once every thousand years..."

"This is the greatest mercy our people have ever shown."

Upon hearing this—

Qin Hui nodded silently, standing on the suspended fortress, looking at the surging sea, a sense of emotion welling up inside her...

Perhaps the plight of the Cold Beast Clan made him think about the future of the Qin Clan.

Thousands of years later, tens of thousands of years later, even hundreds of thousands of years from now, and countless years into the future, what will become of the Cold Beast Clan...?

Will this foreshadow the future of the Qin Clan?

The rules of survival throughout the universe are perhaps more cruel than they imagined. Immortals, whether for survival, resources, or even for further advancement...

They will constantly wage war!

Once defeated, a race faces extinction; after the victors take the lion's share, only scraps remain...

It will also attract countless others to share it, eventually devouring it completely!

Just like this Cold Beast Clan, they did nothing wrong, yet they were wiped out for no reason...

There is no need for any reason, and there is no morality involved.

"Little Xuanzi, after this battle..."

"If you have the time, then open your doors and teach, take in more disciples and followers, and spread your Divine Ability powers and knowledge as much as possible..."

"From this day forward, a rule shall be established: all Nascent Soul Cultivator in the clan shall be required to regularly impart their knowledge, and even those disciples with mediocre talent shall be taught to raise the overall strength of our clan as much as possible..."

"Only by becoming stronger can our clan avoid falling to the state of the Cold Beast Clan today..."

Qin Hui spoke from her feelings.

Qin Xuanzi, standing behind him, nodded in agreement. This world...

As always, this war felt strange to them, but it couldn't be called strange; to be more precise...

It taught them all a vivid lesson.

This made them realize the grandeur of the Endless starry sea, and also their own insignificance and powerlessness; their Qin Clan was nothing more than a single Nascent Spirit Transformation...

The Cold Beast Clan, however, had only one bloodline that escaped, yet it produced three Nascent Spirit Transformation!

How powerful was the Frost Cold Realm at its peak?!

The one that destroyed the Cold Realm was an unknown entity, and what a terrifying existence that must have been. Yet this was merely a war between immortals...

Then, above that, Dao Ancestor in the Dao Integration Realm, and True God in the Mahayana Realm!

What kind of being is it?!

This was beyond their imagination; from the Cold Beast Clan alone, they could glimpse the vastness of the starry sea...

Don't be fooled by how easily this war was won...

Is it really because they are strong?

That's simply because their ancestor was Qin Lu, who was far more powerful than ordinary people. If it were an ordinary Nascent Spirit Transformation...

Could they really wipe out the Cold Beast Clan so easily?

Let's assume there was no Qin Lu, and no Seven Ghost Emperor.

This branch of the Cold Beast Clan is likely enough to fight the entire Frost Cloud Realm to a standstill; their true strength doesn't lie with them...

It was Qin Lu!

The Cold Beast Clan didn't lose because of themselves; they lost because of Qin Lu, that monster...

If Qin Lu hadn't appeared, and it had been Meng Yu instead, would he have been capable of dealing with the Cold Beast Clan? Clearly, the answer is no.

Qin Lu was the real variable that determined everything.

You might not have realized it before, but as you gradually step into the realm of the Star Sea, you truly understand the significance of having a powerful companion...

And that is precisely why--

They should cherish this hard-won peace even more. Perhaps even Qin Lu himself didn't expect that an unexpected enemy from outer space would appear...

This brought about a more profound change in the Qin Clan's disciples.

The Qin Clan's vision and perspective broadened accordingly...

They were no longer confined to the Frost Cloud Realm, but turned their gaze to the vast and profound Endless starry sky, looking up at the Upper Realm that countless people looked up to!

That's the vast stage where they can truly showcase themselves!

451st year of the Great Qin Dynasty --

The War of the Cold Beast has ended, a great victory in both the North and South!

After the Cold Heaven Domain was shattered by Qin Lu, some fragments of the continent were devoured and absorbed by the Nine Heavens, while other continental plates...

It then plunged into the Mystic Heaven Ice Sea, forming the third continent of the Frost Cloud Realm: the Cold Domain!

Its area is slightly smaller than the Northern and Southern Regions, and not much different from the former Northern Nether Domain, although no one has measured it...

However, cultivators at the Nascent Soul and above can vaguely sense it.

The Frost Cloud Realm has grown larger, the entire planet has expanded slightly, and its foundation has become even deeper. However, rather than saying it has grown stronger...

More accurately, this is a revival!

For tens of thousands of years, no new immortals have been born in the Frost Cloud Realm, causing the entire world to essentially remain in a state of decline...

Just like back then, in Qin Lu's previous life on Blue Star.

If tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of years pass, the Frost Cloud Realm will gradually weaken until it can no longer support the birth of Spirit Transformation...

If a Spirit Transformation cultivator cannot be born, then it will be even more impossible for this world to produce new immortals.

Perhaps a million years from now, the Frost Cloud Realm will enter the Age of Dharma Decline. Wasn't the Silent Sea of yesteryear destroyed precisely because Venerable Mieyang consumed vast amounts of resources...?

This has led to the creation of spiritless lands, and as such incidents become more frequent...

Ultimately, the world will all head towards the end of its Dharma-ending Age.

The ultimate outcome is the collapse of the world, or its destruction by an accident, resulting in the extinction of all life and becoming a speck of dust in the vast universe...

Several more years passed.

460th year of the Great Qin Dynasty --

From the moment Qin Lu displayed his divine power in the battle against the extraterrestrial enemy...

The Southern Domain was plunged into a very strange atmosphere. Qin Lu had actually managed to fight three Nascent Spirit Transformation single-handedly and kill them all...

What about Venerable Extreme Dharma Ye Wuxu?

Can he really stand against Qin Lu?

These doubts began to spread throughout the Southern Domain, with the Qin Clan playing a key role in fueling the unrest...

Ye Wuxu naturally knew this, but he did not react.

perhaps--

The moment Qin Lu single-handedly fought three Nascent Spirit Transformation, the outcome was already decided. Ye Wuxu also realized the gap between the two sides...

He is indeed Innate Spirit Physique, but he lacks the support of the world's power and his cultivation is inferior to Qin Lu's. Perhaps he won't lose so badly, but he has no chance of defeating Qin Lu!

In addition, a change in his mindset allowed him to gradually come to terms with things.

This conflict hasn't even begun yet.

The Ye Clan has already lost. In terms of systems, individual strength, and the power of both sides, the Southern Domain is inferior to the Northern Domain in every aspect...

Since that's the case, and he knows he'll ultimately lose, why should he be so conflicted?

so--

Ye Wuxu has made his choice; he will let go...

To ensure Qin Lu's successful ascension to immortality, and to open a passage for him to the Primordial Land of the upper realm, where the future of the Three Truths Empire lies...

Not right now.

Continuing to fight Bai Yun to the death is not the same as turning against Qin Lu...

Instead, they wisely chose to let go, gaining Qin Lu as a powerful ally in the future. They didn't need to dwell on temporary gains and losses...

As long as the future is bright and promising, then it's all worth it!
