Chapter 1205: Rules of the Divinity

Over the vast land, the blood moon cast a faint, red hue, adding a sense of chilliness and loneliness to the ancient land.

A huge beast was flying quietly. That beast was blue all over its metallic body. Under the blood moon, the blue and red colors formed a halo, a breathtaking halo.

The beast traveled fast. If Lu Li could see the outside, he would be shocked. The beast could travel across three thousand miles in the time for one breath, so much faster than Lu Li.

Lu Li was sitting inside the belly of the beast. But the inside of the beast was larger than the outside. Lu Li did not feel he was inside the belly, but a castle. He felt no tremor from the journey.

It had been five to six days since Lu Li went inside the beast. He had obtained some basic knowledge of the Divinity from the explanation of Bu Qianye and other immortals that had some understanding of the Divinity.

The new immortals could only enjoy a very low status in the Divinity which was indeed dangerous. Nine out of 10 that explored the Divinity on their own would die. The average immortals did not stand a chance against the wild beasts outside the cities in the Divinity.

Therefore, even though Bu Qianye provided three options, there were merely two. First was to serve at the Vicissitude House to earn Divine Sources and the right to become a citizen. The second was to join the Vicissitude House.

Learning about the specifics, almost all had given up on the idea of joining the Vicissitude House. To join the Vicissitude House, one must be a servant for a thousand years. In other words—they must be a slave for the Vicissitude House for a thousand years!

During the thousand years, if they could not progress, they still wouldn’t earn the ability to become a member of the prefecture army and continued their lives as slaves.

Servants were servants. Naturally, they had to know their places. When not satisfied, the masters could abuse their servants at will or even kill at will…

Those here were all new immortals. In the mortal worlds, they were second to none. Why would they swallow the pain of being a slave? How could they let others be in charge of their lives?

Therefore, the new immortals actually only had one option, which was to be on active service at the Mountain of Vicissitudes for a year. They could walk around and explore freely after they had earned the right to be a citizen.

The ones that could become an immortal were smart. Before they had a clear grasp on the situation, to serve at the Mountain of Vicissitudes for one year was the best way to go.

One year was not a particularly long time. It was a suitable period of time for them to understand the Divinity and adapt. They could devise a clear plan for their future development in the Divinity.

The hall housed over a thousand people. Apart from Lu Li and the group from the same Ascending Cliff, the others were picked up from the Ascending Cliff of nearby prefectures. The prefectures in southern Divinity must have reached an agreement. The prefectures would take turns to pick up newcomers for their own prefectures to be introduced in fresh blood.

Lu Li had been sitting in the corner. It looked like he was resting with his eyes closed, when in fact he was listening in the talks between the new immortals. Some of the immortals knew forefathers that had come to the Divinity or someone that was in the Divinity at the moment. Those new immortals knew something or two of the Divinity.

The Divinity consisted of many prefectures. The official force of the prefecture was the strongest with a large number of armies and the best of resources.

There were countless other parities and forces in a prefecture as well, and branches of some hidden powers. Some parties just developed quietly and would not want to seek hegemony. The situation was complicated. The average immortals had no way to get a clear idea of the specifics at all.

One thing was certain, though. The Deaf Taoist was right about the four legendary forces because Lu Li had heard the names of the four legendary forces over a hundred times.

The Space-time Office, the Cabinet of Mystery, the Hall of Stakes and Craftsmen’s Sect!

The four legendary forces were placed over all the prefectures. The four were the top-level forces in the Divinity. Even a prefecture chief that had upset the four forces would be finished in an instant.

Lu Li heard something he was very interested in—Space-time Office controlled space and time. They could send a warrior to any place he or she wanted, provided that the warrior could offer enough Divine Sources.

In other words, when Lu Li had enough Divine Sources, he could go to Space-time Office and ask them to send him back… to the mortal world, to the Earth Imperial Universe.

Of course!

To get back to the mortal world, the cost was huge, and Lu Li would have to spend a large quantity of Divine Sources. Not even a mighty warrior could afford such actions. Only super-mighty warriors had such abilities.

The distinctions between a warrior’s levels in the Divinity were unclear and, on this point, Lu Li was confused. In the Heaven Reverse Universe, the hierarchies were quite distinct from each other. But there was no such clear distinction after becoming an immortal.

The only standard thing in the Divinity to tell abilities apart was the list!

The ones that could not be listed were average immortals and those on the list were regarded as powerful immortals. The top one hundred thousand were mighty warriors in the Divinity. The top ten thousand were super-mighty warriors and the rulers of a region. They might not control a prefecture but within a prefecture, they were regarded as the top-level warriors. It was not difficult for them to start a party of their own.

The ones above super-mighty warriors in the Divinity were the supreme warriors and they had to be among the top one hundred!

Each supreme warrior was a towering figure. They were the leaders of the Divinity. They could have their ways and obtain anything they wanted. To control a prefecture was a piece of cake for them. The supreme warriors would be regarded as the honorable guests by the four legendary forces and even their prefectures would have to kneel before a supreme warrior!

“Ha, ha. My great-grandpa is at the Sect of Enchanters and he is a patriarch at a township. You may not know this, but the Chief of Sect of Enchanters once served a supreme warrior who has joined the Hall of Stakes, one of the four legendary forces!”

“My great-grandpa already knows where I ascended. Soon, he will send someone to pick me up. Guys, serve and work hard at the Mountain of Vicissitudes. If it allows, you can come to find me at the Sect of Enchanters. I will not say no as long as I can take care of you.”

“My great-grandpa says that he will ask the Chief and take me to that supreme warrior. If he can accept me as a protégé, ha, ha, I will have my ways…”

A green-haired young man talked on and on, gloating. The other immortals around him were envious. Though the green-haired young man was arrogant, and he might be bloating, he would have an easy way of development and did not have to worry about death at all times since he had a relative in the Divinity.

“Supreme warrior of the Divinity?”

Lu Li thought of a white-haired warrior. His heart grew excited. The Slayer probably was a supreme warrior in the Divinity.

Lu Li had learned the Slayer’s move. At this rate, if he could reach the Slayer’s level, Lu Li would be able to explore the Divinity, find Lu Ling and return to the Earth Imperial Universe.

“Roar~”

Right at that moment, from the outside came out a stunning shout which scared many immortals in the hall. Someone felt weak in their knees and fell to the ground. Someone seemed to be in pain.

Lu Li trembled. At the same time, he felt something strange was entering his soul. But that special energy was cleared by the silver dragon. Lu Li was not affected too much.

Out of instinct, Lu Li used psychic power to check. At first, the hall had Inhibition Formations to isolate psychic power. Now, he found he could use psychic power.

Bu Qianye remained composed and his calm voice was heard across the hall, “Do not panic. It is just a ground-level wild beast. I have turned off the Inhibition Formation on the beast. You can observe the fight against the wild beast in case you will be blinded in the future when you meet a wild beast. Okay… Bu Qinji, Bu Hongyu, go and kill this wild beast.”

“Whoosh!”

As the others observed with psychic power, the wild beast opened up its mouth. Two warriors dashed out into the distance like two sharp swords.
