existed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At most there is some small scale conflict between different faiths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In today’s era of severe lack of faith on Earth, even ordinary friction

back?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eastern Ascenders are not like Western Ascenders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the Upper Three Realms and the Immortal Realm in the Star Nebula Great World are sealed, Eastern Ascenders have no place to properly ascend to, so they are arranged to go to other spatial planes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is already well understood by the Nine Great Divine Fields.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ascending to another spatial plane means being completely cut off from the Star Nebula Great World, they have no possibility of coming

prerequisites.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To cross dimensions, you must first master the spatial coordinates existing in different dimensions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this as the foundation, subsequent operations are possible...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just this one point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would stump everyone who has ascended from the Star Nebula Great

\"home\"?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Li Jing, Athena was in extreme doubt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power of wisdom told her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing’s return brings with it strange circumstances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to him finding the \"way home\" with his great personal strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Athena preferred to believe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He came back to the Star Nebula Great World under certain arrangements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What existence could make such an arrangement?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s only one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The will of the world over there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Going further down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did the world’s will over there arrange for Li Jing to come back?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It can’t be that he is too strong for the other world, can it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless of the possibility, if someone becomes too strong for another world, wouldn’t the depleted spiritual Qi of the Star Nebula Great World make it even less able to accommodate him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pondering this way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An easy conclusion can be reached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The World Will, which has been missing since the sealing of the Upper Three Realms and Immortal Realm, must have communicated with the world will of the other side, and sent him back here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Star Nebula World’s will could make arrangements for Li Jing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing’s \"face\" is undeniable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s more intriguing is.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why does the Star Nebula World’s will want him back?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The deeper Athena thought, the more terrified she became.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Key point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Star Nebula World’s will, which has been silent for billions of years, has emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It may not seem much on the surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if you combine it with the fact that Li Jing was able to open up a path to the Fantasy Gods’ Domain in just minutes...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A situation that all the nine major god races of the Star Nebula Great World, including the Xi X God Clan, did not want to see, surfaced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, observing Li Jing, Athena wished she could be more oblivious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Really wasn’t something she should know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She also didn’t want to know about this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if everything that happened would have a profound connection with herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was just a Main God.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the God Power of wisdom did not allow her to be confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pale-faced, she looked at Li Jing and struggled to squeeze out a dry smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wish to ask presumptuously, what relationship do you have with the Nebula World’s Will?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly faced with such a question, Li Jing was taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to admit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had somewhat underestimated Athena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had just simply narrated a bit, and she had already thought of the Nebula World’s Will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The World’s Will that Athena spoke of was the Star Cloud Heavenly Path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s just that the East and the West perceive and name the Heavenly Path differently, one as the Will of Heaven and the other as the World’s Will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Athena with interest, Li Jing spoke calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t have any special relationship with the Star Cloud Heavenly Path, I was just entrusted by it to resolve some potential threats that will inevitably arise after the revival of the Spiritual Qi for the future balance of the Star Nebula Great World.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Athena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the goddess of wisdom and war having lived through countless eons, what kind of tempests hadn’t she weathered?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Throughout her lengthy life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had not only shed blood, but had also faced extinction on more than one occasion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she had never shed tears because of those.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She really wanted to cry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What had she brought back to the Xi X God Clan?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Li Jing didn’t explicitly say it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Athena’s wisdom, it wasn’t difficult to understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The implication of Li Jing’s words was ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am entrusted by the World’s Will to deal with the threats the God Clans would bring, not solely against the Xi X God Clan, but against all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only thing to be grateful for at the moment was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing appeared exceedingly rational and did not seem to have any intention of waging mass slaughter and cleansing the Xi X God Clan in order to intimidate the other Divine Domains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having figured out his real intention, Athena did not doubt his capability to do so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had not truly faced Li Jing in battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even at this moment in the Xi X Divine Domain, it was still her incarnation standing before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the person who was summoned back by the World’s Will...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Think about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Think carefully...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Athena looking at him, speechless, and bizarrely her eyes welling up with tears, Li Jing blinked his eyes and flashed a friendly smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I like smart people. Can I meet your true self next?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Athena is silent, thinking to herself, I don’t want to be liked by you, nor do I want to come face to face with you personally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But facing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew she had no choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the moment she believed she could control everything and made contact with Li Jing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Xi X Divine Domain was already destined to become the first \"lodged\" Divine Domain among the Nine Great God Races...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s just the specifics of how the Xi X God Clan was to be \"lodged,\" Li Jing gave some leeway out of \"joy\" for her, the goddess who \"delivered herself to his doorstep.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking a deep breath, Athena waved her hand, opening a spatial rift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Earth, her incarnation was indeed weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at this moment, she was in the Xi X Divine Domain where her incarnation could utilize a majority of the true body’s power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Follow me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at him, Athena turned and stepped into the rift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Li Jing leisurely followed along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief spatial displacement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing and Athena’s incarnation appeared directly in front of a grand, classical palace high atop a mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as they arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Li Jing had a chance to survey the surroundings, he saw a stunning blonde woman walking towards them from within the palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blonde.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he was examining the blonde woman, she stopped in front of them and gracefully lifted the sides of her skirt, performing a classical western woman’s curtsy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Main God of Olympus, Athena, greets the Messenger of the World’s Will.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nice to meet you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing slightly bowed in response with a standard gentleman’s manners, then revealed a toothy grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Athena, it is fine to address me as Li Jing or Master Li.

Master Li, can we go to the side to talk?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing turned his head to look, then turned back silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don’t intend to invite me into the temple?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Athena remained silent, expressing her unwillingness to invite him into her temple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing this, Li Jing shrugged, turned around, and walked towards the cliff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Athena quietly followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They arrived at the cliff, one trailing behind the other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing looked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Athena’s temple was located on top of a towering mountain that reached the clouds. From the cliff, one could take in the view of all the smaller mountains below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After admiring the magnificent landscape, Li Jing casually pulled out a long table, placed down two stools, and effortlessly made a pot of tea with leaves from the Life Tree and water from the Spirit Spring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Li Jing’s mastery and efficiency, Athena silently took her seat. She looked strangely at the cup of tea he handed her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master Li, what kind of tea leaves are these? Why does the tea brewed from it contain such a rich life energy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just a few leaves from the Life Tree, nothing more,\" Li Jing casually replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Athena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaves from the Life Tree!?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Does that mean...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leaves Li Jing just used to make tea came from the legendary Life Tree?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While still in a state of surprise, Li Jing smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"While this stuff might be significant to others, to an existence like Miss Athena, it barely changes the taste of the tea. It’s not worth your special consideration.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Athena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This tea indeed held no particular usage for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Life Tree, she couldn’t help but care...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, now wasn’t the time to discuss these things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She graciously raised her teacup and took a sip, admiring the taste and making a mental note of the exceptional tea. Athena looked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she was about to initiate conversation, Li Jing spoke first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Most of my understanding about the Hix God Clan comes from Earth’s folklore. From what I gather, it seems like the gods of Olympus like to play around, especially your Father God. According to these folklores, even you, Miss Athena, were not spared. Are these records true?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Athena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing’s question was particularly rude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only did he target the King of the Hix God Clan, but he also brought up her personal affairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, if she met such a disrespectful person, Athena would have long raised her hand and smote them with divine punishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But facing Li Jing was another story; she dared not lose her temper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Managing to keep her face impassive, Athena retorted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this important?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing replied calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The only reason I’m sitting here, having a harmonious conversation with you, Miss Athena, is that I’m giving the Hix God Clan a chance. As long as the Hix God Clan cooperates fully, I won’t necessarily have to do anything to them. But before that, because I have little knowledge, I need to understand what kind of character the King of the Hix God Clan is before considering other factors.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this being said, he laughed harmlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I hope, Miss Athena, you can be honest with me. The character of the God King won’t influence the final outcome of the Hix God Clan. At least not in my view. Miss Athena, you are a very astute person. However, if the God King’s character is unsatisfactory, I might consider letting the Hix God Clan change its leader.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with his words, Athena fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It must be said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing was becoming more and more audacious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His seemingly rational words, in reality, treated the Hix God Clan as an object that he can manipulate at will. He even further suggested that he could easily replace the God King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When dealing with Li Jing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Athena felt she could admit defeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as part of the God Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had her pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the current situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, she had no room to express any dissatisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>",3285,"2026-06-06T07:42:19.441Z",1,"novelbin.me","182816d8cf247e13c53666067e3ea6b8b1932a91b14a96c5e7b3a73774821e30","why-do-all-these-monsters-have-health-bars-chapter-691","why-do-all-these-monsters-have-health-bars-chapter-689",719,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwhy-do-all-these-monsters-have-health-bars-cover.jpg"]
