Chapter 252 (continued)

Faced with this sudden and powerful enemy, the Star Wielders of the Huaxia Heavenly Palace panicked.

But Xia Changsheng single-handedly eliminated all the invaders.

One man can hold the pass against ten thousand.

With a plain wooden sword in hand, she wiped out tens of thousands of invaders.

The prestige of the Huaxia leader spread throughout the Astral Realm.

Xia Changsheng then took the opportunity to promote the Dao of Pure Cultivation to the Astral Realm.

As Xia Changsheng gained a deeper understanding of the Astral Realm, he came to understand the predicament of the Lotus Domain.

It turns out there are so many Star Wielders in the Astral Realm who Dao of Devouring.

This Dao of Devouring is tantamount to killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.

Although it can rapidly improve one's cultivation level in the early stages, this method of cultivation is tantamount to ruining one's future.

So what if I quickly advance to the Sixth Grade?

Once it comes to refining the Origin Soul, a fatal problem arises.

Even if one abandons the process of refining their primordial Origin Soul, the gradually spreading pollution will backfire on their Star Soul, eventually driving them insane.

The first Star Wielders harms after going mad are those closest to them.

This crazy method of cultivation spread rapidly throughout the Astral Realm simply because it was convenient and easy enough, even polluting the Lotus Domain.

Xia Changsheng was unable to empathize with those who Dao of Devouring.

She is incredibly talented.

Even the arduous Dao of Pure Cultivation was a piece of cake for her.

The Dao of Pure Cultivation has many benefits and no negative consequences; it is a long-lasting way to live in harmony with nature.

Why would those people choose the Dao of Devouring?

That's incredibly stupid!

Xia Changsheng subdued several great Realm Domain that Dao of Devouring with swift and decisive methods!

Those severely corrupted and stubborn Devourers were all killed on the spot by Xia Changsheng.

Their people, if they choose to cultivate Dao of Pure Cultivation, can attach themselves to the Huaxia Heavenly Palace and continue to multiply and thrive.

Xia Changsheng embarked on a long campaign.

The prestige of the Chinese Emperor resounds throughout the star realm!

Furthermore, because Xia Changsheng practiced the Dao of Pure Cultivation, this Dao of Pure Cultivation also became a popular way of cultivation.

She set an example for everyone, making them believe that as long as they focus on the Dao of Pure Cultivation, they will eventually reach the pinnacle of the Astral Realm!

It was a difficult journey, but for Xia Changsheng, Daowu, and Xingshu, it was fulfilling and full of hope.

However, as time went on, doubts arose again among the people.

Xia Changsheng grew stronger and stronger, becoming unattainable.

The remaining Star Wielders chose the Dao of Pure Cultivation, after tens of thousands of years of arduous practice, finally saw some successfully reach the Master Realm, or even the Ninth-Grade Supreme.

That's when things started to change.

The first person to advance to the Ninth-Grade Supreme through the Dao of Pure Cultivation thought he was only one step away from becoming the Human Emperor.

Unexpectedly, it was only at the moment he reached the Ninth Grade that he truly saw the astonishing gap between himself and the Human Emperor.

This is like someone climbing a mountain with their head down. After finally reaching the top, they thought they could stand shoulder to shoulder with the first person to reach the summit.

Unexpectedly, the person wasn't on the mountaintop, but rather standing on the Sun on the horizon.

If you don't climb to the top of the mountain, you can't see exactly where she is standing.

It was only when we reached the summit that we truly saw this seemingly unreachable distance.

This Ninth-Grade Supreme felt a profound sense of despair.

He knelt on the ground and devoutly asked the Human Emperor, "In my lifetime, can I reach your level?"

Xia Changsheng earnestly told him, "As long as you persist in the Dao of Pure Cultivation, you will definitely succeed."

At that time, Daowu and Xingshu had already advanced to the Ninth-Grade Supreme. They were already at the Ninth Grade Rank and were well aware of Xia Changsheng's strength.

Her Fortune Spirit contained countless Authority of God.

Let alone Ninth-Grade Supreme, even if someone possessed the Authority of God, they would still be worlds apart from her.

However, Daowu and Xingshu only had admiration and respect for Xia Changsheng.

Even faced with the seemingly insurmountable distance between them, they felt no jealousy whatsoever.

They were born in the purest Lotus Domain, and because Xia Changsheng gave them a new life, they have unparalleled loyalty and trust in her.

Tens of thousands of years have passed since then.

Through countless battles, Xia Changsheng filled his Fortune Spirit, ascended to the true Divine Venerable Realm, and became the only Human Emperor in the entire Astral Realm.

She cleansed all the Realm Domain of those who cultivated the Dao of Devouring and fulfilled her promise to promote the Dao of Pure Cultivation throughout the entire Astral Realm.

This process is undoubtedly tiring and arduous.

But she never complained, always adhering to her principles and moving forward steadily and systematically.

However, almost all the Ninth-Grade Supreme in the Astral Realm harbored a strong desire to rebel against her.

They found it impossible to continue improving their strength, no matter what.

They and Xia Changsheng... were always separated by an insurmountable distance!

Is the Dao of Pure Cultivation really as powerful as Xia Changsheng claims?

Was Xia Changsheng truly only practicing the Dao of Pure Cultivation?

Did she lie to them?

Once the seeds of doubt are sown, they will quickly sprout and grow, eventually clouding people's minds.

Until a Ninth-Grade Supreme directly questioned Xia Changsheng: "Your Majesty! You said you only cultivated the Dao of Pure Cultivation and yet reached your current realm... Then, where did the power held by those Devourers go?"

This sentence, like a muffled thunderclap, shattered the balance maintained on the surface of the Astral Realm.

Xia Changsheng fought for many years, killing countless Star Wielders Dao of Devouring the pinnacle through the Path of Devouring.

The Dao of Devouring is not a dead end. Although after reaching the Sixth Grade Realm, one will experience a long bottleneck period, and may even go insane as a result...

However, as long as one overcomes this bottleneck period, finds a large amount of Ninth Grade Holy Water, and consumes hundreds or thousands of times more resources than the Dao of Pure Cultivation, one can purify the pollution in the body and then make rapid progress in cultivation.

Once one is fortunate enough to seize the Authority of God, one will possess power surpassing that of Ninth-Grade Supreme!

Daowu was always able to travel back and forth to the Lotus Domain. He told Xia Changsheng that the pollution was not purified, but rather transferred to the Lotus Domain.

Xia Changsheng would never tolerate these malignant tumors polluting the Lotus Domain.

And the Authority of God they dropped could be perfectly inlaid into her Fortune Spirit.

At this time, everyone longed to possess the Authority of God.

Xia Changsheng also realized that he shouldn't have kept it all to himself.

Daowu is no longer the naive Pure Lianxin he once was. He has always assisted Xia Changsheng and stayed by her side.

He watched her fight her way through the country, watched her rise to the top, and at the same time, he saw her struggles.

Daowu, being an observer, saw things far more clearly than those directly involved. He said to Xia Changsheng, "Your Majesty, you must not bestow Authority of God upon them. Such hopeless greed has no end."

Daowu's advice did not sway Xia Changsheng.

Xia Changsheng looked at Daowu and said, "I promised them from the beginning that as long as they cultivated the Dao of Pure Cultivation, they would become as powerful as me. Now that they have worked so hard to cultivate to the Ninth Grade, they deserve the reward they are given."

Daowu frowned. "But..."

"I wield these Authority of God precisely to promote the Dao of Pure Cultivation, and now that it is necessary to spread them... I am more than willing."

She then looked at Daowu and asked, "A-Wu, shall I give you the Authority of Space... or do you want time?"

Daowu immediately said, "I don't want it! I don't want anything!"

Xia Changsheng: "A-Wu..."

Daowu stubbornly replied, "Please don't give it to me, I won't accept it."

Xia Changsheng said helplessly, "Alright."

Xia Changsheng also went to ask Xingshu.

At this time, Xingshu had already established the Star Nexus Pavilion, which was responsible for managing the many complicated administrative affairs of the Huaxia Heavenly Palace.

Xingshu hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Can I control time?"

"Okay," Xia Changsheng said with a sigh of relief, "I'm very relieved to have you take care of my time."

Xingshu obtained the Authority of Time and became the first Divine Venerable of Time.

At the same time, he used the Power of Time to reorganize the Star Nexus Pavilion, making the affairs of the Huaxia Heavenly Palace clearer and more transparent, and doing his best to help Xia Changsheng share his worries and solve his problems.

Xia Changsheng then distributed the seven elements.

She didn't allocate them randomly, but carefully selected them.

Daowu had been handling external affairs for Xia Changsheng and was very familiar with the situation in the various Realm Domain.

He and Xingshu, one in charge of external affairs and the other in charge of internal affairs, were Xia Changsheng's right-hand men.

Due to the unique nature of the seven elements, the seven Realm Domain corresponding to them are the most suitable to possess.

Xia Changsheng went to great lengths to select suitable holders from among them.

Everything was proceeding smoothly, and Xia Changsheng's distribution of Authority of God calmed the previously chaotic Realm Domain.

Although they still had a huge gap between themselves and Xia Changsheng after possessing Authority of God, they were no longer as hopeless as before.

However, to Xia Changsheng's utter surprise, problems arose within the Huaxia Heavenly Palace.

Xia Changsheng's Authority of God is distributed according to the attributes of each Realm Domain.

The most suitable authority for the Huaxia Heavenly Palace is undoubtedly that of "human beings".

Moreover, this type of authority is the most numerous, making its subsequent allocation more complex and troublesome.

Xia Changsheng's plan was to first distribute the seven elements, and then slowly return to the Huaxia Heavenly Palace to distribute the Authority of Humanity.

But inside the Huaxia Heavenly Palace, things were getting impatient.

They worshipped Xia Changsheng's power and studied her for hundreds of thousands of years.

Xia Changsheng's most powerful authority consists of three things: fate, time, and space.

Xia Changsheng gave her time to Xingshu —there's nothing to say about that, after all, he was her right-hand man.

The space will likely be given to Daowu. Although Daowu and Xingshu are both from other races, the Huaxia Heavenly Palace has long accepted them because of their absolute loyalty to Xia Changsheng.

As for "fate," Xia Changsheng will definitely take control of it himself.
