Chapter 391: The Heaven Watches

Xuanyang stood there blankly for a long time, then sighed.

"Fellow Daoist is right."

After uttering these words filled with endless emotion, he tapped lightly on the Void, and a wisp of aura emerged, pulsing incessantly, seemingly linked and corresponding to the far side of the Void.

"If Fellow Daoist enters the True Realm, you can use this wisp of aura to search for items that can enhance the light of the Lighthouse. Of course, this is not necessary; just consider it my request."

"If the matter is not feasible, giving up is also fine."

Now that Li Heng had ascended to the Creation Realm, they were peers and addressed each other as Fellow Daoist. He did not think he had such a thick face as to insist that Li Heng must find what he wanted.

Li Heng accepted the aura and nodded, "I will do my best."

"With the Pollution and the Mysterious Calamity now nearing the beginning of Heaven and Earth, I still have to go back to deal with the mess. Now that everything that needed to be said has been said, I will not keep Fellow Daoist company any longer. Farewell."

It seemed he had been dealt a blow.

After Xuanyang finished the urgent matters, he took his leave directly without even chatting with Li Heng for a moment. Li Heng did not try to persuade him to stay; after all, everyone was a busy person. He watched as his figure disappeared and departed.

He lowered his head to look below.

At this time, the conferment for the Heavenly Human powerhouses had already ended, and the next round of steps for conferring the Dharma Aspect Realm had begun. After all, the Dharma Aspect Realm involved Heaven and Earth Principles and also had the qualifications to be conferred as gods.

However, some Heavenly Human powerhouses were somewhat astonished upon seeing this.

Some were even furious.

For no other reason than that they had been screened out by the Investiture of the Gods; due to a comprehensive assessment of their merits, good and evil, personality, and so on, they had no chance at the positions of the gods of the Heavenly Court, and there was a great ball of anger in their hearts.

But now, the ants of the Dharma Aspect Realm below the Heavenly Human level were also qualified to obtain Divine Positions and become gods of the Heavenly Court? What a joke, by what right could they not!

They cursed inwardly.

They felt that this newly established Heavenly Court was too dark and corrupt.

A Heavenly Court with such shady dealings would definitely not last long!

Of course, they were not fools and would not act like reckless youths by showing their attitude; after all, that would be seeking death, defying those supreme existences.

Therefore, they even engaged in friendly conversation with those Dharma Aspect Realm cultivators who had already been conferred Divine Positions, currying favor in advance, appearing like kind seniors offering guidance to the younger generation.

These Dharma Aspect Realm cultivators were caught off guard for a moment, flattered.

After all, these Heavenly Human powerhouses were existences they could not climb up to in their daily lives, supreme figures who were rarely seen, yet now they were actually so kind and approachable to them.

It was truly... a bit delightful.

"I didn't expect you, kid, to also obtain a Divine Position. Sigh, truly a respectable younger generation. If this old man has any matters in the future, I might have to rely on you..."

"Easily done, easily done. The senior's matters are the junior's matters..."

Similar dialogues kept occurring.

Especially among those with some family or social connections.

These Heavenly Human powerhouses who had been screened out sneered in their hearts.

So what if they could not become gods themselves? As long as they stretched their tentacles into the Heavenly Court, how was that any different from being a god? They had seen it clearly: the current Heavenly Court was the greatest power of the future!

Therefore, even if they could not become gods now, as long as they buried their relationships and tentacles into the Heavenly Court in advance to wait for fermentation, they could also become gods in the future, or even control the entire Heavenly Court through various connections!

This kind of power game, played quietly, was what they were best at, and it also conformed to the rules of the game; even if that supreme existence knew, they likely could not say anything.

After all, I am just letting the younger generation and friends who have become gods help me and my family; what is wrong with that?

It was just human nature.

However, Li Heng did not allow it!

Any Dharma Aspect Realm cultivator who had been conferred a Divine Position and agreed to the requests of these screened-out Heavenly Human powerhouses had their Divine Positions revoked, and the other gods were warned through the Investiture of the Gods.

Li Heng's indifferent words echoed in the ears of the gods.

"Once a Divine Position is conferred, and its grace received, one must be fair and selfless."

"Otherwise, either the Divine Position shall be revoked, or one shall be sent to the God-Slaying Platform!"

These words might be heartless, but Li Heng felt they were very necessary. A Divine Position was not something like a 996 job with no return; on the contrary, a Divine Position would bring great benefits to the person holding it.

Not to mention the basic function of being able to withstand Pollution.

Beyond that, one could also use the characteristics of the Divine Position to draw close to Heaven and Earth Principles and Heaven and Earth rules, conducting deep-level enlightenment, allowing one's strength to progress rapidly.

And all they had to pay was to help suppress Heaven and Earth.

Since they had received such great benefits and still wanted to be corrupt, then they could not blame Li Heng for being ruthless. He did not want the Heavenly Court he founded to become a tool for the strong to crush the weak, to let class solidify forever, and to be filled with calculations of profit.

And the most critical point was.

Living beings needed Divine Positions, but Li Heng did not necessarily need living beings.

Just as he had said before, the gap in strength was too great.

The Creation Realm had the ability to create Heaven and Earth.

He could completely spend time creating selfless living beings and let these living beings take over the Divine Positions and become gods.

But he did not choose to do so, because this was the opportunity he gave to the sentient beings of Heaven and Earth. If they had such a good opportunity and still dared to harbor other thoughts, then they could not blame Li Heng for being ruthless.

The gods' hearts tightened immediately.

They suddenly realized that even though that supreme existence had not appeared, and even though the highest position of Heavenly Emperor on the Investiture of the Gods remained vacant, that existence had been watching them all along.

Just like the truly supreme Heaven!

Li Heng withdrew his gaze.

He had always been a person who disliked trouble, so he handed all trouble over to the Investiture of the Gods to handle. Moreover, it was time for him to do his real work; his figure moved, and he disappeared from where he was.

Then, the next moment, he appeared before that True Realm Rift.

Li Heng looked at the measures he had laid down before, but they were still intact and did not look like they had been destroyed by anyone. He was thoughtful; it seemed that the monster had not taken the opportunity to invade the Present World?

Could it be as he had speculated?

That monster had already concluded the danger of the Present World? If that were truly the case, then that monster was sensible. Otherwise, no matter how small a mosquito was, it was still meat; he would not mind that monster turning into the Source Power in his hands.

He cast his gaze toward that True Realm Rift.

Li Heng discovered that even at the Creation Realm level, one could not see through this True Realm Rift; his field of vision remained pitch black, like an endlessly dim Abyss.

He was not surprised; after all, if it were that easy to deal with, Xuanyang would not have such a headache.

After some thought, a thought stirred in his mind.

He imprisoned those True Gospel believers to be dealt with later; after all, he was not lacking this bit of Source Power right now, and perhaps he could use these believers to ambush the True Gospel.

In this way, he cleared out the Mysterious Ancient Residence, and subsequently summoned this Ancient Residence before him.

According to his speculation, the original owner of this Mysterious Ancient Residence had entered the True Realm Rift, but had specifically left the Ancient Residence in the Yin World, and had even made corresponding arrangements within the Ancient Residence, leaving behind a mirror and an altar, waiting to return in the future.

This Ancient Residence was that person's Beacon for return.

Then.

Perhaps he could rely on this Ancient Residence to catch a glimpse of the interior of the True Realm Rift, or even investigate the location of the original owner of that Ancient Residence!
