Chapter 598

Powerful figures mostly have titles; a so-called title is a form of honorific.

In the mortal realm, perhaps a Demigod can take a title, but in the Divine Realm, one generally only takes a title upon achieving godhood... Li Li Li Yuan had become a god for too short a time and had never thought about this matter in detail.

"It is very rare for someone with the strength of a top God Monarch to not yet have a formal title." God King Master Master Dongmang laughed: "Of course, if you don't like taking a title, it is fine to continue using your original name."

"Although few powerful figures use their original names, it is not unheard of," said God King Master Master Dongmang.

Li Li Li Yuan nodded slightly, pondering.

Powerful figures take titles for various reasons; some are due to their cultivation path, some due to their main combat weapon, some to commemorate special events, and some purely because the name sounds good... In short, they are strange and varied.

"Brother Brother Xinyuan."

"Senior Brother." Li Li Li Yuan suddenly laughed: "Let my title be 'Brother Brother Xinyuan'."

Brother Brother Xinyuan!

The source of the heart; Li Li Li Yuan was constantly reminding himself not to forget the initial thoughts and obsessions of this life.

Moreover, 'Heart' represents the soul path.

'Source' is also the same as his own name... This was also a kind of yearning in Li Li Li Yuan's heart regarding his cultivation path—to reach the absolute peak and explore the ultimate secret of the Eternal Divine Palace.

"Brother Brother Xinyuan?"

"Fine." God King Master Master Dongmang nodded, not asking for the reason: "I will formally announce this title on your behalf and pass it to the Starry Sky Divine Court. Your name will be listed as 'God Monarch Brother Brother Xinyuan' on the new Heavenly God Ranking."

"Good." Li Li Li Yuan had no objections.

"The second matter is the 2.5 quadrillion Heart Dream Coins; the high-level officials of the Myriad Dao Divine Court have already transferred equivalent treasures to us," said God King Master Master Dongmang: "This is what you deserve... it should be credited to your account shortly."

"Yes." Li Li Li Yuan felt joy in his heart.

When Li Li Li Yuan finished his exchange with God King Master Master Dongmang, the news of 'Li Li Li Yuan killing over three hundred Heavenly Gods in one battle' also spread like a hurricane from the God Kings of the highest echelons of various major powers to the Heavenly Gods in all corners of the Divine Realm.

Shock!

Great shock!

"Possessing the strength of a top God Monarch in just a few hundred years? And it's a soul-killing move he excels at? I fear soul attacks the most."

"Heaven-defying!"

"In one battle, he was besieged by seven God Monarchs and over a thousand Heavenly Gods, yet he was unscathed and instead killed over three hundred Heavenly Gods? This! This! What kind of strength does he have?"

"Forcing the Myriad Dao Divine Court to bow? That's fierce enough!"

"From now on, he is truly God Monarch Li Li Li Yuan."

"This Li Li Li Yuan's growth speed is too terrifying." This news spread crazily, enough to make all the Heavenly Gods in the entire Divine Realm look on in shock.

"According to the news I received, even God Monarch-level powerhouses only have thirty or forty percent of their strength left when facing Li Li Li Yuan... it's simply too outrageous."

"In group battles, his individual contribution is likely worth that of a large group of God Monarchs."

"A peerless monster."

"With Beichen involved in the fighting, there are even more variables." All major powers sighed with emotion.

If the previous battle at Brother Brother Dongji Star only made Li Li Li Yuan famous across the Divine Realm and led all parties to believe he had the potential of a God King, worthy of being called the top genius of the current generation... then in this battle, Li Li Li Yuan stepped on the Myriad Dao Divine Court to become famous across all corners of the Divine Realm.

It can be said that once the news spread, below the level of God Kings, even those at the very top of the Heavenly God Ranking would not dare to ignore Li Li Li Yuan's existence.

In a dark region of the universe not too far from the Divine Realm.

Here stood a massive, unimaginably large black mountain. The mountain was towering, and the stars were shrouded by an invisible force, making it difficult for other powers to erode it.

The mountain was called 'Void Demon Mountain' by the outside world. It was vast and mysterious inside, containing many great opportunities, and for long ages, it had attracted a constant stream of powerful figures to break in.

Deep within Void Demon Mountain.

Three massive palaces stood in a circle, with endless flames erupting from them, the aura terrifying, in the center of the three palaces.

"Senior Senior Suihuan! Lu Ming!" A burly man carrying a battle axe, his eyes burning with endless rage, stared fixedly at the two arriving Heavenly Gods, his voice low: "Are you two here to pester me on purpose? Are you helping Li Li Li Yuan?"

In the void in the distance stood two figures; one was clad in golden armor and holding a divine bow, looking heroic and extraordinary.

The other was a lazy youth in blue, with a blade of grass he had found somewhere hanging from his mouth, clearly leisurely and carefree.

"Axe Sea, you can eat whatever you want, but don't speak nonsense." The blue-clad youth showed a trace of disdain: "Where do you see us helping any Li Li Li Yuan? We are looking for you for Demon Stones... I have said it before, lend me 500 Demon Stones, and I will naturally stop pestering you."

"Lend your mother's head." God Monarch Axe Sea shouted, his heart full of frustration.

Everything was fine until he ran into these two scoundrels.

500 Demon Stones? Having roamed this Void Demon Mountain for so long, he had only obtained less than six hundred Demon Stones in total; how could he be willing to give them to the other party?

As for lending?

God Monarch Senior Senior Suihuan's reputation had long spread everywhere; who would dare lend him treasures? He only borrows and never returns.

"Hahaha."

"Not lending? That means you look down on us brothers, so let's continue to play with you." God Monarch Senior Senior Suihuan grinned: "Let's see if the third-ranked on the Heavenly God Ranking can defeat me, the twelfth-ranked."

"Ahhh!"

"Die!" God Monarch Axe Sea could finally bear it no longer and moved suddenly, his figure like lightning, a single axe strike splitting the heavens and earth, the power endless.

"Well come." The blue-clad youth's eyes lit up, and he moved as well, a pair of palms striking out. The palm technique contained endless mysteries, just like a black hole, easily blocking one heavy and powerful battle axe strike after another.

He neutralized God Monarch Axe Sea's violent offensive.

"Screech~"

The heroic man in golden armor on the side occasionally raised the divine bow in his hand, drawing it without firing, yet it made God Monarch Axe Sea feel vigilant, forcing him to expend a large amount of mental energy to resist the Star-Falling Divine Arrow that could arrive at any moment, naturally greatly reducing his offensive... while the blue-clad youth exploded without any scruples.

For a time, in this bloody battle, God Monarch Axe Sea actually fell into a disadvantage.

This was the deterrence of Heavenly God Lu Ming!

Excelling in soul annihilation, his deterrence to other top God Monarchs was extremely terrifying... one arrow after another, even if it couldn't kill them, it was enough to cause any top God Monarch's soul to suffer heavy damage.

"Interesting! Interesting!" The blue-clad youth laughed loudly: "Axe Sea, continue, let us continue to spar."

In secret.

"Lu Ming." The blue-clad youth transmitted: "Help people to the end; I'll have to trouble you. Wait until Li Li Li Yuan leaves the Myriad Dao Divine Court's territory safely before letting this God Monarch Axe Sea go."

"Rest assured."

"Between us brothers, your business is my business." The heroic man in golden armor smiled indifferently.

As the number one God Monarch of the current generation of the Starry Sky Divine Court, his closest brother was a lone wanderer.

Among other things, he was secretly guessing the relationship between God Monarch Senior Senior Suihuan and the Chaos Divine Court... but since God Monarch Senior Senior Suihuan didn't say, he naturally didn't say much either.

However, upon receiving the news about Li Li Li Yuan, he also felt a trace of curiosity: "This Li Li Li Yuan's growth is so rapid; how exactly does he cultivate?"

This news spread across all corners of the Divine Realm, naturally quickly making it known to the many God Monarchs and Heavenly Gods of the Chaos Divine Court.

"He won?"

"Amazing!"

"Another top God Monarch? The growth speed is too scary."

"This is a great joy!"

"Haha, orders have already been issued for us to retreat; the Myriad Dao Divine Court cannot stop God Monarch Li Li Li Yuan."

"Truly incredible." God Monarch Fei Qian Jun, God Monarch Blood Feather, God Monarch North Tiger, God Monarch Dark Blade, and other powerful existences, most of whom were still confronting the powerful figures of the Myriad Dao Divine Court in various places, felt shocked and sighed with emotion upon hearing this news, in addition to being happy.

"With such strength, where would he still need our help?"

"A legend!"

"Cultivating for a few hundred years and possessing the strength of a top God Monarch; this is the first case since the establishment of our Chaos Divine Court."

"Looking at the entire history of the Divine Realm, it is also the first case; his cultivation time is too short."

"Fortunately, he belongs to our Chaos Divine Court."

"I'm afraid he will really become a God King; can we actually witness the rise of a God King?" Countless Heavenly Gods of the Chaos Divine Court felt admiration.

When Li Li Li Yuan possessed strength close to a God Monarch, the vast majority of Heavenly Gods were shocked and sighed.

But when Li Li Li Yuan killed hundreds of Heavenly Gods in one battle... that made countless Heavenly Gods in the Divine Court look up to him.

Like before, the 'Beichen Residence quota' granted by the highest level of the Divine Court became a display of foresight.

"Bai Zha Zha Jiang, are you still competing? Haha!"

"Don't tease me. Who could have imagined that God Monarch Li Li Li Yuan—oh no, God Monarch Brother Brother Xinyuan—would possess such strength?" God Monarch Bai Zha Zha Jiang said: "If I had known God Monarch Brother Brother Xinyuan had such heaven-defying strength... obtaining this quota was only right."

The highest level of the Chaos Divine Court had officially announced the title of Li Li Li Yuan as 'God Monarch Brother Brother Xinyuan'.

"North Tiger, you were quite early in building a relationship."

"Hehe!"

"I heard God Monarch Brother Brother Xinyuan doesn't have any blood descendants yet?"

"I heard before that Li Li Li Yuan seems to want to establish a Divine Kingdom? It seems that before long, the Mohe Star Region will have hope of becoming the permanent territory of our Chaos Divine Court... I will send a branch of my clan to join under God Monarch Brother Brother Xinyuan."

In the hinterland of the Chaos Divine Court's territory.

Inside a strange palace.

"Top God Monarch?"

"Big Brother's growth speed is too fast." Liu Bing had always been concerned about Li Li Li Yuan's safety, and when she received this news, she was also somewhat dumbfounded: "How long has it been?"

"Qing Tian Bing."

"Your big brother has peerless talent, beyond what ordinary people can reach." A great existence with a vast aura sat there, smiling indifferently: "But your talent is also good, and you have the hope of becoming a God King; don't slack off."

"Come, I will demonstrate 'Wind Demon' for you once more."

"Yes, Master." Liu Bing nodded obediently.

Hum~

God King Feng Yan flipped his palm, and immediately, countless wild winds surged and overlapped, causing the surrounding time and space to faintly turn into a world of wind, with countless mysterious Dao patterns constantly emerging...

"Creating an ultimate Heavenly God move with pure Wind Laws?" Liu Bing held her breath.

"Good!"

Senior Senior Senior Dongfang Ji sat cross-legged on a lonely planet, and upon receiving the news about Li Li Li Yuan, a smile could not help but appear on the corner of his mouth.

"With this, my heart is even more worry-free."

His gaze was deep, looking at the starry sky... deep in the starry sky, two strange and massive planets were entangled, rotating with each other.

One was pitch black, absorbing all light from the outside world.

One was filled with endless golden light, illuminating the vast starry sky.

"Darkness and light are originally one."

"Laws of Gold." Senior Senior Senior Dongfang Ji murmured to himself, feeling the first ray of dawn light as the golden planet faced his direction; it was very brilliant.

These two strange stars were created specifically for him by God King Hei Qing Tian.

Whoosh! The Cloud Light World City had been constantly shifting through the void at ultra-high speeds.

"So many messages?"

"It seems the shock brought by this battle is indeed big enough." Li Li Li Yuan walked in the city, looking at the messages received in the Heart Dream Divine Realm, a smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

This battle can be said to have made him famous across the Divine Realm.

His prestige was forged from this moment!

"Fire Phoenix."

"When we return to the Mohe Star Region, your mission will be almost complete." Li Li Li Yuan laughed. "Young Master, are you trying to drive me away?" Fire Phoenix widened her eyes, somewhat anxious: "I..."

"I didn't say I was driving you away." Li Li Li Yuan laughed: "My meaning is that you don't need to follow me anymore at that time, but can live freely in the Mohe Star Region... just guard the Salary Fire Divine Kingdom."

"No need to follow anymore?" Fire Phoenix was not stupid and instantly understood Li Li Li Yuan's meaning.

"Young Master, I still..." Fire Phoenix couldn't help but say.

"I have my own decision." Li Li Li Yuan said.

Once he returned, once he obtained God King-level battle armor, the need for Fire Phoenix and a group of Heavenly God subordinates would be much lower... and Li Li Li Yuan already had a cultivation plan for the next few decades.

Entering Beichen Residence, there was no way to bring his subordinates... Li Li Li Yuan estimated that by the time he returned from Beichen Residence, even if he hadn't become a Heavenly God, his strength would likely have increased by a large margin again.

"Fine, as long as Young Master doesn't drive me back to Shendidao." Fire Phoenix nodded.

Her requirements were not high.

Whoosh! Li Li Li Yuan took a step and entered the core divine palace directly; dozens of Heavenly Gods had already gathered inside.

【No translation provided for this line as it appears to be a garbled/corrupted string of characters.】

"Greetings, Domain Lord." Heavenly God Xuan Yang, Heavenly God Bing Ming, and others bowed respectfully, all somewhat excited.

They had also joined the Chaos Divine Court and naturally knew how widely the news of this battle had spread.

"Everyone."

"Successfully leaving the Myriad Dao Divine Court's territory this time could not have been done without everyone's desperate fighting." Li Li Li Yuan smiled and raised his wine cup: "I will first thank everyone here."

"It is the Domain Lord's grace; otherwise, how could we have such an experience?" Heavenly God Xuan Yang was all smiles: "Let us toast to the Domain Lord."

"Toast to the Domain Lord!" Many Heavenly Gods said one after another.

Everyone raised their cups and drank... immediately, some Heavenly Gods showed expressions of surprise.

"I received... 5 trillion Heart Dream Coins? This!"

"I also received the Domain Lord's reward; such a large sum."

"This! Thank you, Domain Lord." Heavenly God Xuan Yang, Heavenly God Bing Ming, and others bowed to thank him.

Li Li Li Yuan smiled slightly.

To rule over subordinates, besides having enough strength oneself, one must also be able to give them enough benefits.

If he eats meat, his subordinates who have made contributions must also be allowed to drink the soup.

It is extremely slim for a Heavenly God to become a God King... so, in Li Li Li Yuan's view, directly granting them Heart Dream Coins was more practical.

Granted according to strength and the size of their contribution.

The lowest was 5 trillion Heart Dream Coins, and the highest was 10 trillion Heart Dream Coins... for Tier 2 and Tier 3 Heavenly Gods, this was already a very astonishing amount of wealth.

"Rewarding subordinates cost 400 trillion Heart Dream Coins."

"Repaying the loan in advance cost 264 trillion Heart Dream Coins... this wealth hadn't even warmed up before a quarter of it was spent." Li Li Li Yuan shook his head secretly, though he didn't care much.

Money is meant to be spent.

"When I return to the Myriad Things Palace, I'll see if I can exchange for a few more top-grade Heavenly Divine Artifacts suitable for myself." Li Li Li Yuan pondered.

It had been more than ten days since the battle ended, and Li Li Li Yuan was rewarding his subordinates in reality.

Heart Dream Divine Realm, main city.

Inside the Heavenly God tavern.

"For this battle, I thank everyone here." Li Li Li Yuan was also hosting a banquet for the Heavenly Gods of the Chaos Divine Court.

There were nearly a thousand Heavenly Gods attending the banquet.

This was also the norm for the Chaos Divine Court... in reality, they were far apart, or roaming through life and death, or meditating, or executing Divine Court missions; it was extremely difficult to gather on a large scale.

Instead, it was very easy to hold a banquet in the Heart Dream Divine Realm... and the perception in the Heart Dream Divine Realm was the same as in reality.

"Additionally."

"Three years from now, I should formally establish the 'Salary Fire Divine Kingdom' in the Mohe Star Region." Li Li Li Yuan smiled: "At that time, I invite all Heavenly Gods to attend the ceremony."

His strength was sufficient, and he had resolved the matter of Heavenly God Qing Mo, so Li Li Li Yuan naturally would not delay establishing the Salary Fire Divine Kingdom any longer.

"Establish a Divine Kingdom?"

"Good!"

"Haha, a good opportunity; we will definitely come to attend God Monarch Brother Brother Xinyuan's nation-founding ceremony." A group of Heavenly Gods responded one after another.

Suddenly.

"Heavenly God Ranking update."

"The Starry Sky Divine Court has released the new rankings."

"Look quickly at God Monarch Brother Brother Xinyuan's ranking; it's so high." Heavenly Gods exclaimed one after another, immediately attracting the attention of many.

Li Li Li Yuan also put down his wine cup; he had also received the new Heavenly God Ranking and couldn't help but show a smile: "I didn't expect the Starry Sky Divine Court to set my ranking so high."

Recent Heavenly God Ranking:

1st: God Monarch Zhu You (Abyss)

2nd: God Monarch Ming Fang (Chaos)

3rd: God Monarch Axe Sea (Myriad Dao)

4th: God Monarch Huo Wu (Abyss)

5th: God Monarch Dark Blade (Chaos)

6th: God Monarch Lu Ming (Starry Sky)

10th: God Monarch Senior Senior Suihuan (Lone Wanderer)

The rankings at the front basically didn't change; in the top ten, only God Monarch Senior Senior Suihuan had improved from twelfth to tenth.

Clearly.

In the battle at Void Demon Mountain, all parties were aware that the strength God Monarch Senior Senior Suihuan exposed to entangle God Monarch Axe Sea was slightly stronger than before.

18th: God Monarch Shui Yun (Yan Yun)

19th: God Monarch Wu Wei (Jiu Zhen)

20th: God Monarch Brother Brother Xinyuan (Chaos)

29th: God Monarch Gong Fu (Myriad Dao)

87th: God Monarch Blood Feather (Chaos)

The changes in rankings further down were very small; even if some powerful figures had improved, they only changed by a few spots.

Clearly, it hadn't been long since the last Heavenly God Ranking update, and most God Monarchs either hadn't engaged in fighting or their strength had changed very little... in fact, this was the norm.

The vast majority of Heavenly Gods spend thousands of years or even longer before their strength can improve.

And without a doubt!

The biggest change in this Heavenly God Ranking was Li Li Li Yuan, who soared directly from 866th to 20th!!

This span of ranking is quite rare in the history of the entire Divine Realm.

"20th? About right." Li Li Li Yuan thought to himself: "It's just that my strengths and weaknesses are both very obvious."

The ranking does not fully reflect strength.

If it were a one-on-one fight? Li Li Li Yuan's physical attack was actually only at the level of the two or three hundreds; even if he first relied on soul attacks to affect the enemy's strength, it would likely only be equivalent to a God Monarch in the sixty or seventy range.

Any top God Monarch could suppress Li Li Li Yuan in a one-on-one fight.

But!! In a group battle with many God Monarchs, the role Li Li Li Yuan could play might be greater than those in the top three of the Heavenly God Ranking.

"And the ability to save one's life." Li Li Li Yuan thought to himself: "In short, one cannot look down on the other party just because a certain God Monarch's ranking on the Heavenly God Ranking is low."

Just like God Monarch Qiu Yi; his ranking on the Heavenly God Ranking is not high, but his ultimate move that affects the surrounding space is something most top God Monarchs cannot match... they simply cannot kill him; that is his ability.

"Within the Chaos Divine Court, my ranking on the Heavenly God Ranking is fifth?" Li Li Li Yuan was thoughtful.

Those ranked higher than him.

They are the 2nd-ranked God Monarch Ming Fang, the 5th-ranked God Monarch Dark Blade, the 11th-ranked God Monarch White Ape, and the 16th-ranked God Monarch Prison Palace.

As time passed, the latest Heavenly God Ranking spread even further, and the most eye-catching was naturally Li Li Li Yuan; after all, only his ranking change was the most astonishing.

"20th?"

"About right!"

"The strength he revealed can indeed match it."

"The ranking promotion is truly fast."

"Physical attack is not too strong among God Monarchs, but soul means are extremely strong, plus heaven-defying physical defense and a powerful domain... I actually feel this ranking is a bit low."

"Hmm, I was wondering before what rank he would be; I thought it would be thirty or forty, I didn't expect it to rise directly to 20th." The powerful Heavenly Gods of various powers were discussing it; they generally accepted this ranking.

There was no way around it.

Whether it's 30th or 50th, the difference is very, very small.

At the same time, the news that Li Li Li Yuan would establish the 'Salary Fire Divine Kingdom' in three years was also constantly spreading.

Mohe Star Region.

"Haha, I bet right!"

"Transferring most of the territory to God Monarch Brother Brother Xinyuan in advance was the right move." Heavenly God Guo Jue felt excited and secretly rejoiced.

When they learned of Li Li Li Yuan's battle record, both of them were somewhat dumbfounded, and then they were filled with joy.

Because, decades ago, he had already followed the orders of the high-level officials of the Jiu Zhen Divine Court to offer most of the Guo Jue Divine Kingdom's territory to Li Li Li Yuan. At that time, Li Li Li Yuan accepted it and simultaneously ordered the Dashan Divine Kingdom to manage it temporarily, also retaining the request for 100 star systems of the Guo Jue Divine Kingdom.

"A top God Monarch!"

"Looking at the vast Divine Realm, there isn't a top God Monarch even in an average of a hundred star regions." Heavenly God Guo Jue thought to himself: "A top God Monarch can easily rule half a star region."

Heavenly God Guo Jue believed that if he went to offer territory now, he might not be able to keep the 100 star systems.

If Heavenly God Guo Jue was secretly rejoicing, then God Monarch Demon Lotus was filled with fear.

Inside the Demon Lotus Divine Kingdom.

"In just a few decades, he is a top God Monarch... and Li Li Li Yuan has a large army under his command." God Monarch Demon Lotus trembled inwardly: "Once he wants to take action, even if he can't break into my lair to kill me now... but what about in a few hundred or thousands of years?"

At this moment, God Monarch Demon Lotus had already concluded that Li Li Li Yuan was destined to become a God King.

"Time to go!"

"If I continue to stay, I will surely die." God Monarch Demon Lotus felt some reluctance to leave his vast territory; this was the result of his life's struggle.

But he was a decisive person; in just a few days, he took away the elites of his blood descendants and a large number of True Gods who were willing to follow him, and returned to the territory of the Abyss Divine Court.

"Mohe Star Region, whoever wants to go can go."

"Anyway, I won't go back." God Monarch Demon Lotus thought to himself: "And I must stay in the local territory."

... Compared to God Monarch Demon Lotus, Heavenly God Yue Yao and Heavenly God Hai Huo of the Yue Yao Divine Kingdom fled even faster.

That day, they fled the Mohe Star Region and returned directly to the local territory of the Myriad Dao Divine Court, unwilling to go out again even if they died.

The death of Heavenly God Qing Mo filled them both with fear.

Myriad Dao Divine Court, deep in the territory.

God King Yu Chen sat cross-legged in the void, his aura penetrating deep into the void, faintly combining with the vast starry sky.

Suddenly.

"Yu Chen, having lost such a big face, has your Myriad Dao Divine Court completely given up like this?" A cold snort came through karmic transmission.

"Chen Mo?"

God King Yu Chen slowly opened his eyes and said in a low voice: "Does your Abyss Divine Court have any good way to eradicate Li Li Li Yuan?"

"Naturally, I do!"
