276: Default Crystal

“His brain?”

When Chu Feng questioned him, the Fool Half-God’s features twisted into an expression of agony.

He cried out in sorrow, “It’s gone, all gone.”

“After the Protagonist God Seal condenses, it will be completely bound to a certain part of the body.”

“Those who are plundered by the Great Hongmeng Art will all become people with Heavenly Defects.”

“My brain also disappeared along with the God Seal.”

“In other words, once the God Seal condenses, the organ is no longer one's own.”

The Fool Half-God, hearing Chu Feng’s analysis, subconsciously nodded, agreeing with his statement.

He suddenly understood, “So that’s it, no wonder your other four good friends were also missing limbs before.”

The God Seal is bound to a certain organ on the body, but after being plundered by the Great Hongmeng Art, this organ will also permanently disappear.

Since the item was never there to begin with, it naturally couldn't be restored, nor could it be conjured.

The reason the Fool Half-God, despite having no brain, could still communicate smoothly with him was entirely due to him having reached the God’s Domain and the assistance of his precious medicines, which enabled him to do so.

“Then…”

Chu Feng narrowed his eyes, his gaze shifting from the Fool Half-God to the blood-red sky above.

He slowly took two steps, as if measuring this world: “Since you’ve all returned to the Supreme Realm, as the leader of the Hongmeng Divine Alliance, why didn’t you return to the Alliance to recuperate, but instead opened up a Xu Shen Ancient Realm?”

“This world isn’t as good as the Hongmeng God Realm.”

He could tell at a glance that although the Xu Shen Ancient Realm was also a Supreme Realm, it was ultimately inferior to the Hongmeng God Realm.

Even when hidden in the Time River, it couldn't compare. On the contrary, because the power of the Time River was too terrifying, the Xu Shen Ancient Realm was constantly being eroded by the Time River. Even if he hadn't descended today, the Xu Shen Ancient Realm would have collapsed on its own in less than ten million years at most.

Recuperating in a good place and recuperating in a slum is a world of difference.

The Fool Half-God gave a bitter smile: “Is it that I don’t want to?”

“It’s that I don’t dare.”

“The great dao life crystals we five gathered at the time were only enough to rent the Ascension Ladder for three years.”

“But it took us five years to return to the Supreme Realm using the Ascension Ladder due to our Heavenly Defects.”

“However, we simply couldn’t afford the Treasure Pavilion’s breach of contract crystals.”

“If we couldn’t pay the breach of contract crystals, with the Treasure Pavilion’s power, our worthless lives would be forfeit.”

“The blind man suggested that we simply abscond with the Ascension Ladder. After all, this item is a five-star supreme dao artifact. Not only does it offer a chance to return to the Supreme Realm, but it can also be used for Cultivation.”

“Having made this decision, I naturally didn’t dare to return to the Hongmeng God Realm on my own; the Treasure Pavilion would surely come looking for me.”

“Not only did I not dare to return to the Hongmeng God Realm, I also secretly contacted some old acquaintances to inform them of the truth about the Supreme Realm, and had them erase all information and contact methods regarding the Supreme Realm from the Hongmeng Divine Alliance.”

Chu Feng was somewhat speechless upon hearing this.

The dignified initial leader of the Hongmeng Divine Alliance had actually fallen to such a state, unable to even gather the great dao life crystals needed to rent a supreme dao artifact.

However, this was also his own fault. What Chu Feng was more concerned about was: “What kind of force is this Treasure Pavilion? How does it differ from the Divine Kingdom?”

The Fool Half-God answered without hesitation: “Divine Kingdoms are the most common divisions in the Supreme Realm. Almost all Supreme Realms belong to various Divine Kingdoms.”

“Only a few special forces control many Supreme Realms but are not under the jurisdiction of a Divine Kingdom.”

“There are three such top-tier forces in total.”

“They are the Treasure Pavilion, Tianwang Mountain, and Emperor Realm.”

Chu Feng’s eyes flashed; he had actually heard of two names among these three epochal forces.

“Tell me everything you know about these three epochal forces.”

The Fool Half-God sneered upon hearing this: “Don’t think too much; the more you know, the worse it will be for you.”

“Even if you rule the Supreme Realm, you’ll have to act like a timid turtle when you reach the Supreme Realm.”

“Epochal forces are superior to Divine Kingdoms. Numerous Divine Kingdoms must unite to form the Alliance of Gods to be on par with any single epochal force. You can imagine the difference.”

“The Treasure Pavilion is renowned throughout the infinite Supreme Realms for its wealth and resources. Their Treasure Pavilion trading posts are spread across the Supreme Realm.”

“No one knows how many resources the Treasure Pavilion truly possesses. Rumor has it that they can even directly transact with the Dao, and even buy and sell our Protagonists’ God Seals.”

“I’m not clear about Tianwang Mountain; it’s simply too far away. I’ve only heard its name, but don’t know the specific situation.”

“As for the Emperor Realm…”

The Fool Half-God paused, a trace of fear appearing in his eyes.

Chu Feng narrowed his eyes, watching his expression.

He had learned the term Emperor Realm from Willow God, but the specific details were vague.

He hadn't expected it to be an epochal force of the Supreme Realm. He didn't interrupt, waiting for the Fool Half-God to gather his emotions: “My Protagonist God Seal was plundered by someone from the Emperor Realm.”

“They are the most ferocious group of forces in the infinite Supreme Realms.”

“They run rampant, committing all sorts of evil, and can even accept villains.”

“They only pursue profit, even more greedy than the Treasure Pavilion.”

“The most terrifying thing is… the people of the Emperor Realm are all women!”

“They even take in villains, but only women.”

At this point, the fear in the Fool Half-God’s eyes deepened.

They even take in villains, and they’re all women?

Chu Feng narrowed his eyes and asked, “Then, what kind of existence is the Nine Nether in the Supreme Realm?”

The Fool Half-God’s eyes were still filled with terror, and he subconsciously replied, “Nine Nether? They’re just nourishment.”

“If they couldn’t provide nine netherworld life crystals to activate the Great Hongmeng Art, they would have been completely annihilated long ago.”

In a farmed position?

They’re villains, after all, are they really doing that badly?

He wondered what Wan Wan would think if she knew.

Chu Feng pondered for a moment, combining it with his experiences in the Supreme Realm, and didn't find the current plight of villains strange.

Wan Wan was absolutely right.

Protagonists all have cheats.

What do villains have? They can only have an extra Nine Nether Great Dao, relying on diligence and Heart-Nature.

While it’s true that extraordinary villains like him might emerge, more villains face an endless stream of Heavenly Mandate Protagonists, appearing one after another.

A villain might be able to defeat one cheat.

But even in the Supreme Realm, Heavenly Mandate Protagonists are clustered, beating Wan Wan and the other Nine Nether cult members until they couldn't raise their heads.

Not to mention the even more powerful Supreme Realm of Heavenly Mandate Protagonists.

It was only natural for the Nine Nether to become farmed leeks.

“Then, do you know this person?”

Seeing the Fool Half-God’s eyes becoming increasingly cloudy.

Chu Feng waved his hand, and an image of Willow God appeared before the Fool Half-God.

He looked at the exquisitely beautiful woman, with calm eyes, looking down on all things, and she looked at him indifferently.

“Willow God!!”

The Fool Half-God’s face was blank, and he screamed in terror.

His eyes were wide and fixed, and he kicked his legs!

Under Chu Feng’s astonished gaze, he instantly lost his breath and perished!

He was scared to death!
