136: Chapter 136 The True Way to Advance to Divine Realm.

"In the past, the Kaiyang Divine Territory would hold the War of the Gods every year, and I could consistently occupy the top spot every year!" A trace of confidence appeared on Luo Huang's face: "This time, I will definitely be the top again, and I will certainly advance to the Yuehuang Realm!"

In the previous Wars of the Gods, the deities of the entire Kaiyang Divine Territory would select those low-level continents that had been polluted and chaotic to serve as battlefields. For the Divine Land, these continents could no longer provide sustainable positive feedback. The gods could just take this opportunity to eliminate these burdens, while also reducing damage to other important continental plates of the Divine Land...

Moreover, many new continents would connect with the Kaiyang Divine Territory every year anyway to make up for the losses, so there was no need to worry about the Divine Land shrinking because of this...

However, when he told this to the moon in the sky, what he received was the Moon Goddess Hua Zhaoyue's merciless ridicule and mockery.

"War of the Gods? You think another one of your so-called Wars of the Gods can produce a Yuehuang Realm powerhouse? To make Kaiyang become a true Divine Land?"

"Do you know that the only way for a continent cluster to truly advance into a Divine Land is for a Yuehuang Realm powerhouse to refine a continent to open the Moon Radiance Secret Realm, and it must be a continent that has been ruled by a deity!"

"Not just any random first-level continent can be used to make do!"

After hearing these words, Luo Huang's face was filled with shock!

The War of the Gods, which they believed to be the path to advancing to the Yuehuang Realm, was actually just a delusion?

He knew that the gap between the Star Radiance Realm, which rules continents, and the Yuehuang Realm, which rules Divine Lands, was not small...

He had originally planned to give up... until Xuan Shu calculated that a Yuehuang Realm deity would definitely appear in the Kaiyang Divine Territory this year! This news gave him a shot of confidence!

This was also the reason he was so looking forward to this year's War of the Gods!

In the current Kaiyang Divine Territory, only he had the hope of becoming a Yuehuang Realm deity!

But now, doubts arose in his heart, and he asked defiantly:

"Then why does my realm improve after every War of the Gods?"

It was precisely by relying on the annual War of the Gods that he progressed from the initial stage to the middle stage, and now to the late stage. The number of continents under his rule, large and small, had already surpassed double digits.

"Your so-called War of the Gods is nothing more than a method you yourselves devised for the redistribution of the Divine Land's resources..." Hua Zhaoyue said calmly:

"Also... haven't you noticed that after reaching the peak of the late Star Radiance Realm, your cultivation can no longer improve?"

Luo Huang suddenly understood, and the solemn look on his face instantly dissipated.

No wonder, in the recent decades of the War of the Gods, although the number of continents he ruled increased and he gained more Power Of Will, he was never able to break through the peak of the late stage to reach the Yuehuang Realm. He didn't even feel like he had touched that barrier...

He had always thought it was due to insufficient Power Of Will... After all, the Yuehuang Realm had a huge gap compared to the Star Radiance Realm...

...

"So... even if the other deities had agreed to initiate the War of the Gods during the previous meeting, Kaiyang still wouldn't have produced a Yuehuang Realm powerhouse?" Luo Huang asked.

"Correct."

Hua Zhaoyue in the sky gave him a definitive answer:

"Without a Yuehuang Realm powerhouse taking action, the Kaiyang Divine Territory will never become a true Divine Land! And a Yuehuang Realm deity will never appear on this land!"

Luo Huang was slightly shocked. That meant if the Moon God before him hadn't discovered the Kaiyang Divine Territory seven months ago, he would never have had the possibility of entering the Yuehuang Realm in his lifetime!

"You are very fortunate." Hua Zhaoyue said calmly. As if to express his tone, the moon began to flicker between brightness and dimness.

"Fortunately, the exalted god has sharp eyes and discovered the Kaiyang Divine Territory from so far away..." Luo Huang flattered.

"It's not fortunate in the sense of encountering me..." Hua Zhaoyue said calmly: "It's fortunate that only one Yuehuang Realm powerhouse discovered your Kaiyang Divine Territory..."

"Huh?" Luo Huang was somewhat puzzled.

"If the Kaiyang Divine Territory were discovered by the entire Star domain simultaneously, countless Moon Gods would fight over who gets to act, because whoever opens the Moon Radiance Secret Realm will receive a significant feedback of Power Of Will once the Divine Land truly takes form. This opportunity is very attractive even to Yuehuang Realm powerhouses!" Hua Zhaoyue explained.

"Since the formation of a Divine Land is so demanding... how did you all survive back then?" Luo Huang asked.

From this perspective, once exposed to the sight of two or more Moon Gods simultaneously, it would easily lead to a world-ending disaster... Could it be that every Divine Land in the Star domain was so lucky, just happening to be discovered by only one Moon God?

"Most Divine Lands do not face this kind of danger during their formation process..." Hua Zhaoyue replied.

"Ah?" Luo Huang was completely confused now.

"Kaiyang's situation is extremely rare within the Star domain. Among the other eight Divine Lands in the Cangtian Star Domain, only one Divine Land was formed this way..."

"The other seven Divine Lands, including the Zhaoyue Divine Land, were not formed by gathering from continents... They were obtained from the disintegration of other Star domains or the splitting of large Divine Lands..." Hua Zhaoyue explained.

Only then did Luo Huang finally understand why the other party was so surprised upon discovering that the Kaiyang Divine Territory was a quasi-Divine Land...

So the Kaiyang Divine Territory was a very special existence...

"Last time, I didn't dare to react easily, so I remained silent until this duty period..." Hua Zhaoyue said calmly: "I was very afraid that the ruling Moon God who had the same experience as the current Kaiyang Divine Territory would discover it, so I used some means to conceal part of the Kaiyang Divine Territory's aura..."

A hint of pride tinged Hua Zhaoyue's tone: "He is the Moon God whose duty period is after mine—Ming Yaoyue Shen. Later, during his duty period, I observed him for a long time. From my observation... he probably didn't discover you... If he had discovered you, he couldn't have restrained himself like I did!"

"I have been observing the moon. If he had discovered Kaiyang, he would have contacted me first..." Luo Huang stated firmly.

"You're overthinking it." Hua Zhaoyue interrupted: "If he had discovered the Kaiyang Divine Territory, he would have first discovered the continent at the very edge. That's the location I discovered first..."

Luo Huang looked towards the continent in the Kaiyang Divine Territory closest to the moon. That was...

Xuan Guang Continent!

The continent ruled by Ji Xuan!

"And the reason I contacted you is because I want to cooperate with the strongest Star God in the Divine Land. I can give you a greater probability of advancing to the Yuehuang Realm, and I will also get what I need from you." Hua Zhaoyue explained.

Luo Huang finally understood. So this Moon God had already calculated the entire Kaiyang Divine Territory in his mind during their last meeting!

Last time, he discovered the Kaiyang Divine Territory during his off-duty period!

In just two hours, he calculated the entire Kaiyang and also found me...

Is this the depth of a Yuehuang Realm's scheming...

Luo Huang felt that compared to the other party, he was as naive as a child...

However, the other party's calculations were indeed precise. At least, he had already obtained half of the Kaiyang Divine Territory from Luo Huang's mouth...

Although Luo Huang had no intention of actually giving it...

"The reason I don't sign a contract with you is because I unconditionally trust you..." Hua Zhaoyue said calmly, a trace of imperceptible helplessness in his tone.

"Of course, we are partners, and we will definitely be allies in the future!" Luo Huang smiled, a flicker of speechlessness passing through his eyes.

Actually, it's because you're afraid that using spiritual energy will be detected by the Moon Gods of other Divine Lands, right...

Now, the moon in its duty period, while having the convenience of contacting other continents, has also lost some freedom. The slightest use of spiritual energy would be immediately detected by all Divine Lands...

...

After observing the celestial phenomena, Luo Huang became excited.

In just two more hours!

The lunar eclipse would appear, and then the Moon Radiance Secret Realm would open!

All Star Radiance Realm powerholders of continents within the Kaiyang Divine Territory, including Attendant God Envoys, would be forcibly drawn into the secret realm!

When that time comes...

Hehehe...

Just thinking about standing at the zenith of heaven to receive the baptism of the Yuehuang Realm made Luo Huang unable to suppress the urge to laugh out loud...

...

Fengtian Continent.

Chu Ran once again arrived at the Cloud Pavilion.

The moment she saw Chu Ran, a shadow once again fell over Lin Yuhen's beautiful face.

Because...

The Power Of Will that should have flowed to her was once again clinging to the other person!

Not this again, buddy!

Chu Ran didn't sense the resentful little glance Lin Yuhen threw his way. He casually sat down on the ground.

The reason he came here was because not only was the spiritual energy abundant, but staying here made him feel his divine soul was being bathed by points of light...

In summary, it was two words...

"Comfortable!"

Chu Ran wore an expression of enjoyment as a panel materialized before his eyes.

"Begin Advancement!"
