Chapter 642: Undying Matter! Fellow Apprentices

Becoming the Master of a Star Domain cannot be hidden... Therefore, within a very short time, all major forces in the God Realm knew about it.

"He just became the Master of a Star Domain like that?"

"So, God King Xinyuan had already cultivated a clone secret art before becoming a God King?" God Kings from various major forces easily reached this conclusion and quickly reached a consensus.

The reason was simple.

Since the opening of Beichen Star, God Kings from various forces had been outside Beichen Star... If Li Yuan's true body left on Beichen Star had secretly slipped out, it would have been almost impossible to avoid detection.

Therefore, only one situation remained—Li Yuan had cultivated a clone long ago.

"I admit I laughed."

"Before, when God King Xinyuan was still in the Heavenly God realm, the Abyss God Court, the Wan Dao God Court, and the Ziwu Universe were all making a big fuss about strangling him, forcing him into the Earth Rift Abyss... No wonder God King Xinyuan risked entering the Earth Rift Abyss at that time. Anyway, even if he fell, it was only a clone, not a true fall."

"God King Xinyuan can really endure."

"If it were me, I could endure it too, just to watch the Abyss God Court make a fool of themselves! Now the Abyss God Court is riding a tiger and finding it hard to get off."

"So many God King true bodies gathered, wanting to start a God King war... Hahaha, the result is that the target has become the Master of a Star Domain."

"Becoming the Master of a Star Domain means God King Xinyuan is destined not to die." God Kings from various major forces communicated with each other, sighing with emotion, while also paying attention to the movements of the Abyss God Court.

The God Realm is very vast.

But for the God King and God Emperor levels, it is not considered large... For example, God Kings perceive each other through causality, can deduce destiny, and have God Emperors observing.

Therefore, it is almost impossible to hide large-scale mobilization and gathering from hostile forces.

The fact that the Abyss God Court wanted to start a God King war was almost known to everyone.

Including the Wan Dao God Court, other major forces in the God Realm were in a mood to watch the fun, but the atmosphere inside the Abyss God Court was quite oppressive.

Abyss Star, above that red mountain range.

A group of God King incarnations gathered again to discuss this matter.

There was only one core question—whether the war should continue.

"The situation, all God Kings already understand." God King Yinhuo, who looked like a big snake, said with a cold voice: "Xinyuan has become the Master of a Star Domain. We have lost our last chance to kill him completely."

"He actually cultivated a clone."

"Perfect star art? Clone star art?"

"If it is clone star art, cultivating to the Eighth Rank usually allows one to cultivate a third true body, and the cultivation speed of clone star art is much faster than a 'spatial clone'." Some God Kings speculated.

If one cultivates a clone using star art, because there is already a foundation, it is much easier to cultivate. As long as there are enough Eternal Crystals or rare materials, it usually takes only a few decades.

But if one cultivates a clone based on the Spatial Law, it is essentially using the Inner Heaven and Earth to gestate the clone, so the time is much slower... and there are no shortcuts.

It takes at least several thousand years.

This is also the reason why the Abyss God Court was determined to kill Li Yuan.

"I worked so hard to rush another true body over from the Undying Heaven and Earth... Sigh."

"Me too, rushed over from the Demon Blood Domain, consuming hundreds of Eternal Crystals. Too much of a loss."

"Is he really only Nine Star Veins? If you count this clone star art, how many perfect star arts has he cultivated?"

"What should we do now?"

"Should we still start the war?" The God Kings of the Abyss God Court spoke one after another, some complaining, some further raising their doubts.

Suddenly.

"Quiet!" A low voice sounded, instantly suppressing the voices of all the God Kings.

All the God Kings looked at the source of the voice—God King Moyun.

As the contemporary number one God King of the Abyss God Court, and deeply trusted by the God Emperor, God King Moyun had an extremely high status, far exceeding other God Kings.

"Let's decide."

"Those who do not agree to continue the war, send a message to the Abyss Will." God King Moyun said in a low voice.

The Abyss Will is the Abyss Star Will... It is also the guardian spirit left by the Abyss God Emperor, absolutely fair and just.

After a while.

"14 God Kings do not agree to continue the war, more than half." A slightly indifferent voice sounded: "The war action against God King Xinyuan is suspended."

Apparently, knowing that they could not truly kill Li Yuan, most of the Abyss God Court God Kings chose to retreat.

After all, since the goal was destined not to be achieved, once the war started, there would be huge risks...

It must be known that the Chaos God Court was also preparing for war!

Although God Kings have no life danger, once a clone falls, even without counting the treasures carried, re-cultivating a clone requires a lot of time.

For God Kings, time is very precious.

Just as the many God King incarnations were preparing to disperse.

Suddenly.

"Everyone." God King Moyun's eyes flashed with surprise, and he said in a low voice: "The God Emperor sent a message... hoping that we can proceed with this battle. We don't need to kill God King Xinyuan completely, just destroy this true body of God King Xinyuan left on Beichen Star."

"The God Emperor promises that if a clone falls in the war, he will compensate everyone for their losses."

"If you can kill this true body of God King Xinyuan... there will be additional rewards." God King Moyun said solemnly.

Many God Kings were stunned.

They all heard it; it seemed that the great Abyss God Emperor was very concerned about God King Xinyuan... even if it was just to destroy one clone of God King Xinyuan, they had to go all out.

Why? All the God Kings thought.

Face? How is that possible!

The Abyss God Court had encountered major setbacks more than once in history, but the Abyss God Emperor rarely asked, and basically, it was decided by the God Kings... Apparently, this time, God King Xinyuan was very special.

Why?

What was the Abyss God Emperor's purpose?

"Everyone, since that is the case, let's vote again." God King Moyun's gaze swept over everyone.

"Good."

"Re-vote."

Soon, the result of another vote came out—not a single person opposed continuing the war.

God Kings have extremely high autonomy, but they will mostly obey the God Emperor's orders.

This time, since the God Emperor was backing them, the many God Kings of the Abyss God Court naturally no longer worried.

"Everyone, then go back and continue preparing." God King Moyun said in a low voice.

Watching the God King incarnations disappear one by one.

"The God Emperor is actually targeting a newly promoted God King like this, making such a big fuss just to destroy a clone." God King Moyun was thoughtful: "Could it be... because of Beichen Star?"

"The God Emperor believes that God King Xinyuan will get some incredible secret treasure from Beichen Star?" God King Moyun's eyes lit up.

At this moment, he thought of more.

He remembered some legends about the Abyss God Emperor and Beichen Star.

For example, the nine Beichen Tokens.

"In terms of deep understanding of Beichen Star, I am afraid no one in the entire God Realm surpasses the Abyss God Emperor." God King Moyun believed he had guessed some of the truth.

At the Chaos God Court headquarters, Li Yuan's main body, who remained there, quickly received a large number of messages.

"Congratulations!"

"Congratulations, Brother Xinyuan."

"Brother Xinyuan becoming the Master of a Star Domain and expanding the territory for my God Realm is a great story." God Kings from the three great Emperor Palaces sent messages one after another, basically all congratulations.

"These God Kings."

"Before, when the news was made public that I became a God King, although some God Kings sent messages of congratulations, there weren't this many." Li Yuan also felt a bit surprised.

"Very normal." An incarnation of God King Dongmang, who was also in Li Yuan's palace, smiled: "Before, it was said you became a God King, but it wasn't truly confirmed... Becoming the Master of a Star Domain means you absolutely comprehended the Spatial Law, so they can confirm it 100%."

"Secondly, becoming the Master of a Star Domain represents having the confidence of being 'undying', so naturally, you are more respected." God King Dongmang said.

"Generally speaking."

"In my God Court, a newly promoted God King will hold a grand celebration after becoming the Master of a Star Domain. The celebration is usually held at the Chaos God Court headquarters or in your Star Domain." God King Dongmang looked at Li Yuan: "Junior Brother, do you want to hold the celebration soon, or?"

"Celebration?"

"No rush." Li Yuan shook his head: "It won't be too late to wait until my other true body comes out of Beichen Star. That will be in three hundred years."

"Fine." God King Dongmang naturally had no objections.

"By the way."

"Senior Brother, I have a curiosity." Li Yuan suddenly said: "According to the God Court information I queried, in the entire God Realm, there should only be about two hundred God Kings in the contemporary era."

"But why, in my sensing, are there over five thousand Masters of Star Domains?"

"Hahaha."

"I believe you already have the answer in your heart. This is a great secret for Heavenly Gods, but it is not a secret for God Kings. Almost every God King knows it." God King Dongmang smiled: "Since there are so many Masters of Star Domains, it also means... there are so many God Kings alive."

"You thought correctly. The number of God Kings truly alive in the entire God Realm actually exceeds your imagination... Like my Chaos God Court, the number of God Kings still alive today actually exceeds 2,000." God King Dongmang said solemnly.

"So many?" Li Yuan was surprised.

He had thought that many God Kings were alive... but he hadn't expected there to be so many.

After all, according to records, in the entire history of the Chaos God Court, fewer than four thousand had been born. Does this mean that more than half of the Chaos God Court's God Kings are still alive?

"How is it done?" Li Yuan was puzzled.

God Emperors can bind their own timelines, so they can be active for a long time.

What about God Kings?

How can they do it?

"Self-sealing." God King Dongmang said: "The Inner Universes of God Emperors form their own space-time, like the Juexing Space-Time, the Heart-Dream Space-Time... It is almost impossible for God Kings to rely on themselves to slow down the passage of time." (Chapter 508)

"But before approaching their lifespan limit, they can hide in a God Emperor's Inner Universe, avoiding the detection of the Universe's River of Time... By utilizing the 'Power of Time' of the Inner Universe, they can make their own time flow rate slow down drastically, and thus they can survive the long years." God King Dongmang said.

Li Yuan was stunned.

It was the first time he knew that the Inner Universes of God Emperors were so magical... but thinking about it carefully, it was not impossible.

"Doesn't that mean God Kings can cross timelines again and again like God Emperors?" Li Yuan couldn't help but say.

"No!"

"Junior Brother, God Emperors cross the River of Time relying on their own near-eternal Dao... But God Kings essentially use a method of avoidance, which violates the rules of the River of Time." God King Dongmang shook his head: "Therefore, once God Kings avoid the world, they cannot appear in the normal universe starry sky again."

"Once they dare to appear, they will be punished by the River of Time... and will fall rapidly."

"This kind of punishment cannot be avoided, even if they hide in a God Emperor's Inner Universe again, it is useless." God King Dongmang said: "Therefore, once a God King avoids the world, they only have one chance to appear in the world."

"If they appear again, there is only a dead end."

"So, although a large number of God Kings are still alive... within the scope of the God Realm, they can basically be considered 'dead'."

"Unless it is the most critical and dangerous moment, these God Kings will never appear again."

Li Yuan realized; so that was it.

In this way, aren't these God Kings who avoid the world equivalent to one-time powerhouses?

Shining one last time, and then falling.

But in a sense, this is also the foundation of the major super forces... At the most critical moment, a large number of God Kings appearing collectively is extremely terrifying.

"Before approaching their lifespan limit, God Kings will leave behind many means to protect their territory, making it very difficult for foreign enemies to break through." God King Dongmang sighed: "And once a permanent territory gives birth to a new God King... the God Kings who previously avoided the world will also hand over their origin authority."

"Coupled with the fact that God Emperors do not want the God Realm to be in constant conflict... in the end, there was the current agreement: any territory that has given birth to a God King belongs to the permanent territory of the major God Courts."

Everything was explained clearly.

"Senior Brother, is God King Phantom Heart still alive?" Li Yuan thought of this.

God King Dongmang was stunned for a moment, then revealed a smile: "Alive."

"Actually, not long ago, I mentioned you to him in the Undying Heaven and Earth."

Li Yuan's eyes widened.

Undying Heaven and Earth?

What does that mean?

"These God Kings who avoid the world cannot appear in the normal universe starry sky." God King Dongmang explained: "But Eternal ruins are an exception... Why are those Eternal ruins recognized by us as 'Eternal ruins'?"

"It is because the operational rules of the 16 Eternal ruins are completely different from the normal universe."

"Except for the legendary Eternal realm, we cannot figure out who could open such a magical place." God King Dongmang sighed.

Li Yuan listened.

Before, communicating with Xiao Mu, Li Yuan also had some understanding of Eternal ruins.

"For example, the Undying Heaven and Earth, which has the greatest fame and gathers the most powerhouses."

"Do you know why it is called the Undying Heaven and Earth?" God King Dongmang said.

Li Yuan shook his head.

"Because of 'Undying Matter'."

"Within the Undying Heaven and Earth, the rules are extremely special. It is almost impossible to open a path and cultivate. Ten thousand Daos do not exist, and all the mysteries of the rules are extremely blurred... But it contains 'Undying Matter', allowing all outsiders to survive in it for a long time." God King Dongmang said: "Like many God Kings who avoid the world, it is very normal for them to live in the Undying Heaven and Earth for hundreds of millions of years."

"Staying in the Undying Heaven and Earth, they will not be perceived by the Universe's River of Time."

"Hundreds of millions of years?" Li Yuan was surprised.

"Hmm."

"But even if they live for hundreds of millions of years, it is difficult for their strength to improve. Time seems to stand still in it." God King Dongmang shook his head: "However, at least they can keep living, having a glimmer of hope."

"Coupled with the Undying Heaven and Earth, it continuously gives birth to many rare treasures that can strengthen strength."

"This leads to the fact that looking at the universe, in all the major Dark Domains, those Eighth Rank powerhouses who avoid the world almost all go to the Undying Heaven and Earth..." God King Dongmang sighed: "Like the God Kings of my Chaos God Court who avoid the world, as long as they still have clones, almost all of them stay in the Undying Heaven and Earth."

"Are they all there?" Li Yuan held his breath.

This is just one force of the Chaos God Court... If you add up the entire universe, the 81 Dark Domains, and the countless Eighth Rank powerhouses who avoid the world, how many would there be?

Just thinking about it is a number that makes one tremble.

At this moment, Li Yuan finally understood why Xiao Mu said he must have the strength of a 'Second-Step God King' before he could go... If he didn't even have this bit of strength, he would just be cannon fodder if he went.

"Senior Brother, as long as one is Eighth Rank, can one go?" Li Yuan asked.

"Hmm!"

"But ordinary Eighth Rank are just the bottom layer. Only path-opening powerhouses will have a higher status, and there are a large number of God King peaks." God King Dongmang sighed: "Even, there are quite a few ancient invincible God Kings."

"There, you can see peerless God Kings from every era."

Li Yuan listened.

It sounds like the Undying Heaven and Earth indeed gathers a massive amount of powerhouses.

"So, my strength is just at the bottom there?" Li Yuan said.

"You can say that."

"But Junior Brother, that is only for now."

"Although there are many powerhouses in the Undying Heaven and Earth, 99% of them are just 'surviving' in it, one step away from death, and none dare to come to the normal universe." God King Dongmang shook his head: "In the future, you can send a true body to go there to fight, temper yourself, and seize treasures... while your other true bodies contemplate and cultivate in the normal universe."

"Contemporary powerhouses have infinite potential."

"They have infinite possibilities." God King Dongmang sighed: "The future belongs to you."

Communicating with God King Dongmang gave Li Yuan a deeper understanding of the Undying Heaven and Earth, the River Ancient Ruins, and other Eternal ruins, greatly broadening his horizons.

"Junior Brother."

"There is one more thing. You have been the Master of a Star Domain for some time, but the God Kings of the Abyss God Court are still gathered outside Beichen Star." God King Dongmang said: "It seems that even if they know they cannot kill you completely, they are still preparing to take action."

"Destroy my clone?" Li Yuan was puzzled.

According to Li Yuan's thinking... once he became the Master of a Star Domain, the Abyss God Court should have retreated in the face of difficulties.

They actually still want to take action?

"Don't worry."

"I have already greeted God King Heishi and God King Hunhai. If the Abyss God Court still wants to fight, my Chaos God Court will accompany them." God King Dongmang said solemnly: "We will definitely ensure that your true body on Beichen Star is worry-free."

"Thank you, Senior Brother." Li Yuan said gratefully.

After cutting off contact with God King Dongmang, Li Yuan's main body went to the Wanfa Palace again to exchange for many treasures.

On Beichen Star.

Where Li Yuan was in seclusion.

Whoosh~ A stream of light flew out, and it was a gray-robed little fatty.

"That Abyss God Court actually still wants to take action? Truly seeking death." Xiao Mu said angrily: "It must be the Abyss God Emperor... This idiot, most likely guessed something, so he wants to come and test you."

"Even wanting to seize treasures from you." Xiao Mu said.

Li Yuan understood.

He had become the Master of a Star Domain, and there was no hope of truly killing him... but as long as they destroyed this true body of his, the treasures they could seize would be quite a lot.

"Then us?" Li Yuan asked.

"Don't rush." Xiao Mu grinned, revealing his little tiger teeth: "If it were anywhere else, I really wouldn't be sure about helping you resist so many path-opening Eighth Ranks... But Beichen Star? Hmph hmph! Dozens of God Kings? As long as you listen to me and follow my plan, and with the cooperation of the Chaos God Court powerhouses, I guarantee I will make the Abyss God Court suffer a big loss."

"Maybe, we can even kill a few of their God Kings."

Li Yuan's eyes lit up.

"Come."

"First continue to cultivate the four great supreme techniques. Once you comprehend the first move of all of them, we will enter the Inner Domain."

"To achieve the plan, the most critical thing is still your strength." Xiao Mu urged: "You have now comprehended the eight great Laws. Comprehending the first move of these supreme techniques should be extremely fast."

Cultivation has no years. As Li Yuan meditated and cultivated, more than sixty years passed in the blink of an eye.

This day.

Whoosh!

A blue-clothed youth with a blade of grass in his mouth flew out from afar and quickly arrived near Li Yuan's place of seclusion.

"Isn't Junior Brother cultivating in this area?" God King Suihuan's gaze swept across the four directions, but he could not perceive Li Yuan's existence.

"Senior Brother, over here." A smiling voice sounded.

Whoosh!

Only then did God King Suihuan notice, and he immediately turned into a stream of light and quickly arrived in a canyon more than ten thousand kilometers away.

"Junior Brother, your concealment means are truly incredible. You are worthy of being in the God King realm." God King Suihuan sighed.

More than ten thousand kilometers, how close is that for their level?

But in his perception just now, this canyon clearly had no life.

"Senior Brother is overpraising." Li Yuan smiled.

"Junior Brother, why did you ask me to come?" God King Suihuan felt slightly puzzled.

Logically, the generational action had ended so long ago, and there was no more danger on Beichen Star, so there was no need for the two to meet intentionally.

Moreover, God King Suihuan also knew that the gap in strength and status between him and Li Yuan was now huge.

Being able to communicate so openly now was already because of their excellent relationship and God King Suihuan's unrestrained nature.

"Senior Brother."

"I will soon set off for the Inner Domain of Beichen Star." Li Yuan smiled: "So, before leaving, I thought of giving you a gift."

"A gift?" God King Suihuan was stunned for a moment, then revealed a smile: "Junior Brother, I won't be polite with what you give me."

Li Yuan waved his hand, and many auxiliary cultivation treasures appeared beside him, a total of six pieces, one of which was the 'Qingyun Dao True Fruit' that Li Yuan had used before.

These six pieces were all carefully selected by Li Yuan, and their effects were extraordinary.

But God King Suihuan's smile froze, staring fixedly at a crystal stone flowing with five-element brilliance, unable to believe it: "Five-Boundary Void Stone?"

The other treasures were fine; God King Suihuan had obtained many auxiliary cultivation treasures and didn't care much.

But a Five-Boundary Void Stone?

"This? Junior Brother, where did you get the Five-Boundary Void Stone?" God King Suihuan couldn't help but say.

If a Five-Boundary Void Stone were to appear, the commotion would be huge. Logically, the news would have spread long ago.

"Senior Brother doesn't need to ask, just take it." Li Yuan said: "I hope it can help you break the bottleneck in one fell swoop... and comprehend the Spatial Law."

Three Five-Boundary Void Stones sent by Xiao Mu.

Li Yuan had used two... only one was left, and its use to him was already very small.

Li Yuan had thought about leaving this last one for Liu Bing or Dongfang Ji, but both had only cultivated for a little over a thousand years, and they were still far from the Heavenly God lifespan limit.

Coupled with the fact that their Law comprehension was also low, and they were still far from the God King level, they were not in a hurry to use top-tier treasures like the 'Five-Boundary Void Stone'.

And God King Suihuan was already over two hundred thousand years old, and was only one step away from the God King realm.

Li Yuan was worried that if he didn't give it this time, he would regret it for the rest of his life...

In Li Yuan's plan, as long as Dongfang Ji, Liu Bing, and the others gave themselves a hundred thousand or even tens of thousands of years, perhaps they could exchange for auxiliary Dao-comprehension treasures of the same level from other Dark Domain powerhouses.
