210: Chapter 210 The Upper Realm, Deep Within the Divine Domain!
The other party froze, then nodded in admiration: "Indeed, you are truly a Genius of the God Race! Perhaps you have just been stranded in this realm for too long and have forgotten many things."
"But you are right, we originally had no need to concern ourselves with trivial matters; it is just that some menial tasks still require us to borrow their strength."
"Such as mining Blood Stones?" Su Rui added.
"Exactly! This is the decree of Tian!" The man's expression relaxed, and he almost concluded that Su Rui came from the same lineage.
In his view, if he had not originated from the Upper Realm, how could he know about the Blood Stones? He must have descended to this world recently, and his Heart-Nature had merely changed slightly due to living in the Mortal world for too long.
He was even calculating in his heart: Should he defect and join this person's command?
After all, the person before him not only possessed the Colorless Realm Divine Power but also had astonishing potential; as long as he did not attempt to challenge the might of Tian, he would surely be a core figure among the upper echelons of the God Race in the future.
"However, the Imperial Dynasty of the human world does not seem to be cooperating?" Su Rui continued to probe.
"You even know about this?" The man was startled. "It seems you have not been down here for very long."
The news of the recent unusual movements of the Imperial Dynasty in the Mortal world had only been transmitted back through the newly arrived reception envoys.
He did not expect Su Rui to be able to grasp this information immediately, which made him even more convinced that the other party had an extraordinary background.
"My lord, if you intend to rule the Lower Realm, with your strength and our assistance, it will surely be like cutting through bamboo. When the two realms are connected, you will definitely become an important minister of the God Race, wielding authority over a region!"
His words already faintly revealed a fawning tone.
Su Rui nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the figures around him who were still moving slowly under the influence of the Colorless Realm Divine Power.
Sensing his gaze, the man hurriedly explained: "We mistakenly thought you were an enemy attack earlier; please forgive our offense. Now, we are willing to submit to you and await your orders!"
As for the matter of Su Rui destroying the altar with a single sword strike earlier, he simply kept silent about it. In any case, as long as they continued to capture people to build it, the task could be completed.
"You did not judge incorrectly." Su Rui spoke indifferently, his expression calm.
The moment these words were spoken, the fawning thought that had just risen in the man's heart came to an abrupt halt, and his entire body stiffened.
Before he could react, the long sword in Su Rui's hand was suddenly unsheathed. The light of the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass flashed behind him, and the sword radiance filling the sky bloomed like flowers, tearing through the night sky.
The group of people who were still trapped in the Divine Power confinement all turned into fly ash the instant the brilliant sword light swept past, dissipating into the wind.
"My lord, why resist? It would be better to join forces with us and plot a great undertaking together!"
"Sorry, I am not the God Race you speak of." Su Rui returned his sword to its sheath, his tone calm.
"Absolutely impossible! One who has undergone Awakening of Divine Power must belong to the God Race; you must have been bewitched by these Mortal commoners. You should wake up; only we are your blood kin!"
Before the words had faded, Su Rui's figure suddenly closed in and stood before the man.
Facing the man's expression of shock and anger, his gaze flickered slightly. In an instant, the man lost all his arrogance, his eyes became hollow, and he fell into a trance.
A moment later, Su Rui sighed softly and parted his lips slightly. A silver-white flame surged out from his mouth, instantly wrapping around the man's body.
With a flash of fire, his Physical Body turned into fly ash, not even leaving time for a scream.
After dealing with this person, Su Rui's gaze swept over the corpses on the ground that clearly belonged to the God Race soldiers. He waved his sleeve, once again evoking flames.
The Gengjin Divine Fire spread like a snake, swallowing the entire area.
Having finished all this, he looked at the blue vortex in the distance that was gradually shrinking and still contracting, his brows furrowing slightly.
This place was remote and desolate, not the hinterland of the Central Plains, and he did not want to stay long.
After a moment's thought, he drew his sword and slashed several deep sword marks in the air, firmly sealing the vortex within.
Each sword mark contained a trace of the Grass-Character Sword Intent, hidden and not yet released.
Once someone appeared from the vortex or external force attempted to break in, it would inevitably trigger the backlash of the Sword Qi.
His Sword Intent now was no longer something ordinary people could block. Even if an expert from the Upper Realm who truly mastered the complete Divine Power arrived in person, they would have to retreat with injuries.
As for the Mortal commoners fleeing in all directions, Su Rui did not pursue them. After the flames were completely retracted, his figure flashed, and he had already departed.
From the memory of that remnant soul of the God Race, he only learned that this place was called the "Heaven Expansion Gate," and he knew nothing else.
But he was clear that there were definitely more than just this one similar place, and he feared that many other passages were being opened in the dark.
Relying on the strength of one person alone to investigate them one by one was as difficult as ascending to heaven.
On the way back, Su Rui pondered countermeasures all the way.
Upper Realm, Deep Within the Divine Domain.
"Sister, there is an anomaly in the Lower Realm."
Heart Moon Fox's expression changed slightly. She had mastered the Divine Power of the Void Knowledge Realm and could glimpse fragments of the future.
Xin Yue Kui closed her eyes slightly and nodded slowly. "I have already sensed it; I will go and report to Tian Zun now."
After speaking, she turned and left.
Inside a secluded cave covered in ten-thousand-year black ice, Tian sat upright on an ice platform.
He was dressed in a black robe, with a black Dragon head coiled on each shoulder, moving slowly.
He sat silently with his eyes closed, as if in deathly stillness.
"Tian Zun!" Xin Yue Kui arrived and bowed respectfully.
"A powerhouse may be born in the Lower Realm who is capable of shaking the Foundation of the divine authority!"
"Are you certain?" Tian slowly opened his eyes, and an invisible pressure rushed toward her, causing Xin Yue Kui's body to tremble slightly.
"Certain... certainly without doubt! What is seen by the power of Void Knowledge is definitely not false!"
"Hmm, your talent is already no less than that of Fuxi back then."
Tian nodded slightly and closed his eyes again. "You have full authority to handle this matter."
Xin Yue Kui's heart shook, and then wild joy rushed to her brows.
Although Tian ruled the God Race, he despised authority; but she was different—power was exactly what she sought all her life.
Now that she had received this authorization, it was almost equivalent to holding the lifeline of the God Race. "Understood!"
She suppressed her excitement and turned to leave. Before long, the Six Department Great Gods gathered.
"Why did the Priest summon us here?" The Great God Tai Ji had a head of glowing red hair and looked puzzled.
"There is a drastic change in the Lower Realm; you should know the strength of those who come from the Lower Realm." Xin Yue Kui said in a deep voice.
"Indeed, they cannot be underestimated." Tian Kui of the Dou Department held a huge string of prayer beads and nodded in response.
"Could it be that someone from the Lower Realm has broken into the Upper Realm again?" Flowing Moon of the Yu Department stuck out the tip of her tongue and licked the corner of her lips, a hint of ambiguity flashing in her eyes.
The men of the Lower Realm truly had a memorable taste.
"No," Xin Yue Kui said coldly, "It is what I deduced—a peerless powerhouse is about to appear in the Lower Realm who can overthrow the order of divine authority!"
Once these words were spoken, all six gods were stunned. A moment later, Tai Ji burst into laughter: "The Priest is joking! How could a person from the Lower Realm have such capability?"
"Exactly!" Flowing Moon covered her mouth and chuckled, "As far as I know, the Lower Realm has its own shackles. Once cultivation reaches the peak, it will be rejected by heaven and earth and forced to ascend here. At that time, won't they just be at our disposal?"
"Without the ability to control Divine Power, it is ultimately difficult to amount to anything." Ghost Wood laughed grimly, his voice harsh, causing the gods to frown and avoid him.
"Does the Priest want to take action against the Lower Realm right now? But the passage is restricted, and we cannot pass through at all." Tian Kui's expression was grave, and he spoke bluntly.
"I think we cannot wait any longer. That door is large enough; we should try to establish contact with the Lower Realm and gradually release the constraints of the boundary." Xin Yue Kui said slowly.
If this matter could be pushed forward smoothly, perhaps there would really be a chance to attract Tian's attention. After all, bearing an heir for Tian had always been her deepest expectation in her heart.
After hearing this, the Six Department Great Gods nodded one after another.
