320. Chapter 320: Divine Yuan Realm! Glimpsing the God Realm

"Mm, it's done. From now on, you'll follow Long Xiaoyao. During this time, organize the Holy Spirit Sect. The sect may temporarily remain, but all uncontrolled Evil Soul Masters beneath it must die."

Bai Zhou nodded, then immediately issued his command.

In the Holy Spirit Sect, the actual number of Evil Soul Masters was not large—less than one-thousandth of the sect's total population.

These Evil Soul Masters specifically referred to Soul Masters who cultivated using human lives, and most were uncontrollable, like madmen—Ye Xishui herself was also this kind of person…

Bai Zhou did not oppose such ruthless methods of enhancing power.

But Evil Soul Masters were no longer merely ruthless—they sought to destroy everything…

After all, Evil Soul Masters cultivated not only using others' lives but also their own, and most were short-lived, surviving only ten to twenty years after becoming Evil Soul Masters.

Only beings like Ye Xishui, with extraordinary talent, did not need to consume their own potential to cultivate, allowing them to live longer.

99% of Evil Soul Masters could be said to have been born solely for "Destruction"—useless.

In Bai Zhou's view, the Sun Moon Empire was now his to claim, a veritable "backyard" for extracting "Luck," his personal property! And if these Evil Soul Masters caused chaos, once the disturbance reached a certain scale, it would affect National Fortune—like pests in his backyard.

The fruits of his backyard could be harvested and consumed only by Bai Zhou himself; if these worthless pests ate them, wouldn't he suffer great loss? Thus, Evil Soul Masters must die—no room for negotiation.

"Yes, Master! Thank you, Master!!"

Long Xiaoyao quickly expressed his gratitude, sincerely and from the heart.

After all, Bai Zhou had spared Ye Xishui's life—that was already the greatest favor he could bestow! Ye Xishui, still dazed from severe damage to her Spirit Sea, only knew she had become Bai Zhou's Subordinate; as for other matters, she remained utterly confused…

Bai Zhou waved his hand and turned away.

His orders to Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui ended there.

He was no matchmaker, nor would he forcibly "pair" her with Long Xiaoyao through enslavement—let them sort out their own messy story themselves.

…

…

With Ye Xishui's lingering threats resolved, Bai Zhou finally had some free time.

But he did not rush back, for the "super gift" sent by the Evil Emperor had not yet been fully absorbed.

He had only absorbed one Seven-Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring and had not even adapted to his sudden surge in power before rushing here…

After all, in Bai Zhou's view, Ye Xishui was far too dangerous—a ticking "Level Nine Fixed Soul Tool Cannon," ready to explode at any moment.

Long Xiaoyao was his own man; no matter how he acted, it didn't matter—he could make him do anything.

But Ye Xishui was not yet his own. Once she arrived in Mingdu, she would quickly sense anomalies and might launch probes.

Even if Long Xiaoyao could stop her, a Limit Douluo's battle would cause massive trouble in Mingdu.

Mingdu had already suffered one bloodbath and was now extremely fragile—utterly unable to withstand another upheaval.

Thus, Bai Zhou had rushed here immediately after absorbing the Soul Ring, fearing the "backyard of Luck" he had spent immense effort to secure would be destroyed by this madwoman.

This was not Bai Zhou exaggerating—Ye Xishui truly would do such a thing.

Her martial soul was the "Blood Soul Demon Puppet"; if she wished, she could slaughter every single person in Mingdu within one night.

This was the main reason Bai Zhou had rushed here so urgently.

Fortunately, he arrived in time.

… Bai Zhou arrived at the outskirts of Mingdu and returned to the massive altar where the Sacrifice to Heaven Ceremony had taken place.

Inside was a small cave dwelling he had dug himself.

Though there were no furnishings, Bai Zhou could manifest whatever he desired through his own will.

Moreover, this altar was considered a "sacred relic" of the Sun Moon Empire's Imperial Family; even without sacrifice, vast amounts of Faith Power still converged here daily.

Faith Power was essentially the same as Luck—more Faith Power meant more Luck here, and Bai Zhou could siphon it off, though not in large quantities, it was better than nothing.

Bai Zhou first took out the Remnant Soul left by the Evil Emperor—its Source Power.

It was a white liquid compressed into a sphere.

Originally, it had been much larger, in a semi-transparent, ethereal state, but Bai Zhou had forcibly condensed it into this form.

"I'm truly looking forward to this~"

Bai Zhou licked his lips, gazing at the Soul Origin in his hand as if it were a supreme delicacy.

Indeed, absorbing such a thing brought unprecedented pleasure.

When Bai Zhou had absorbed the Evil Emperor's Seven-Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, he had also absorbed the massive Spiritual Power within it—the sensation had been unforgettable…

Had he not possessed his external advantage, he might truly have succumbed to temptation, growing stronger by devouring others' Soul Origins, eventually being fully consumed by desire…

With this thought, Bai Zhou did not hesitate—he extended a thread of Spiritual Power, forming a tendril that pierced into the white sphere, beginning to suck…

Instantly, an immense, pure torrent of Spiritual Power surged into his mind, wildly expanding his Spirit Sea.

"Huhuhu—"

At this moment, Bai Zhou's Spirit Sea boiled completely, converging toward its center.

There, within it, floated a translucent "little figure" identical to Bai Zhou himself—this was the core of his Spirit Sea, also known as his "Divine Consciousness."

Advancing to the Divine Yuan Realm fundamentally meant transforming this Divine Consciousness into a "Primordial Spirit," achieving complete qualitative change.

Bai Zhou had already reached the peak of the Spirit Domain Realm, yet he was still far from the legendary "Divine Yuan Realm."

If he cultivated slowly, it might take months to reach it—even with the Time Tower, months of idle meditation were unbearable for Bai Zhou.

Now, with the Soul Origin gifted by the Evil Emperor, this process was greatly accelerated.

As endless Spiritual Power flooded in, the "little figure" in Bai Zhou's Spirit Sea rapidly changed, gradually solidifying from semi-translucent to tangible…

Half an hour later.

The semi-transparent figure became fully solid—Spiritual Consciousness transformed into Divine, Primordial Spirit first formed.

This was the realm of the gods—where thought reached, heaven and earth obeyed!

Reaching this level allowed one to glimpse the God Realm.

Within the Spirit Sea, Bai Zhou's Primordial Spirit slowly opened its eyes.

A terrifyingly immense Divine Consciousness spread out, instantly breaking through Douluo Star and reaching beyond the world...
