War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens Chapter 4288

4288 The Unfortunate Duan Ling Tian

Duan Ling Tian suddenly recalled something, and he could not help but ask, “Academy Master, you said that our G.o.d Defying World is among 18 worlds under the three strongest worlds?”

Duan Ling Tian could not help but think of the 18 Realms of G.o.ds in the G.o.d Defying World. Was the number a coincidence?

Duan Ling Tian continued to ask, “There are 18 Realms of G.o.ds in our world, and it has always been this way. Does this have anything to do with the 18 worlds?”

Su Bi Lie nodded. “Yes. The 18 worlds are weaker than the three strongest worlds. As such, we need to work together to defend against the three strongest worlds. A long time ago, the 18 worlds began to use their vital energies to create a Formation that protects us from the three strongest worlds. In the same manner, the 18 Realms of G.o.ds in the G.o.d Defying World create a Formation to protect the G.o.d Defying World.”

Duan Ling Tian furrowed his brows slightly. “Since the 18 worlds worked together to create a Formation to guard against the three strongest worlds, why is there a need to create a separate Formation to protect the G.o.d Defying World? If the G.o.d Defying World is under attack, the other 17 worlds won’t just stand aside and do nothing, right?”

!!

Duan Ling Tian paused for a moment. Then, his eyes widened before he exclaimed… “Could it be that…” He quickly lowered his voice and said to Su Bi Lie, “Could it be that there’s a conflict between the 18 worlds?”

Su Bi Lie looked at Duan Ling Tian with an expression of approval before he nodded. “That’s right. The 18 worlds have a conflict with each other. However, it’s not very severe. In any case, you’ll learn more about it after you become an advanced Supreme G.o.d and a guardian of the G.o.d Defying World. Even if I explain it to you now, there’s a chance you won’t be able to understand the situation anyway. You’ve just become a rudimentary Supreme G.o.d, and it’s impossible for you to understand things related to a higher level…”

Duan Ling Tian was right in that there was a conflict between the 18 worlds. However, it was not a huge problem and did not affect their effort to defend themselves against the three strongest worlds. It was normal for conflicts to arise among people, after all, and when faced with a common enemy, it was also common for people to set aside their differences and come together.

Duan Ling Tian was curious about the 81 Devata Realms as well, and Sue Bi Lie explained that the 81 Devata Realms were just a coincidence. In the beginning, there were more than a hundred Devata Realms, but as time pa.s.sed, only 81 Devata Realms were left.

“The Devata Realms and the mundane realms were not created by humans. They and their inhabitants were formed naturally by G.o.d Defying World and evolved along with the pa.s.sage of time. Some Devata Realms were originally mundane realms a very long time ago…”

Duan Ling Tian had never heard about this before, but he was not very surprised since it was not out of the realm of possibility.

Su Bi Lie smiled and said, “Whatever it is… The most important thing for you now is to make a name for yourself in the chaotic region. It’s best if you can rank first among the rudimentary Supreme G.o.ds in the advanced chaotic region. With that, the supreme powerhouses will definitely take notice of you, and some of them might even extend a helping hand to you. Before you grow into your potential, it’s important that you have the support of a supreme powerhouse.”

Duan Ling Tian thought about the time he was in a single-person secret realm where he almost killed Ning Yi Xuan. At that time, Ning Yi Xuan was rescued by the Ning clan’s supreme powerhouse. As compensation, the supreme powerhouse had given him two fragments of prime divine artifacts. Not only that, but he also obtained another four fragments of prime divine artifacts from another two supreme powerhouses. Among the four fragments, the two sword-shaped fragments were from a supreme powerhouse whom he had never met before.

‘Did the two supreme powerhouses give me the fragments of prime divine artifacts because they saw my potential?’

Realization finally dawned on Duan Ling Tian that the two supreme powerhouses gave him the fragments of prime divine artifacts because they saw his potential. The fragments were like investments. When he grew into his potential, he would be of help to the two supreme powerhouses.

‘It seems like the older one gets, the wiser one becomes,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself with a sigh. Although he was slightly over 900 years old now, he was still very young compared to supreme powerhouses.

“Academy Master, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave now,” Duan Ling Tian said. Now that his question had been answered, he was ready to return to the chaotic region on the Divine Sanction Battlefield. After all, he still needed to improve his cultivation and search for his Ke’er, his mother-in-law, and his sister-in-law.

Su Bi Lie said with a smile, “I’ll accompany you. It doesn’t hurt to be cautious.”

“Thank you, Academy Master,” Duan Ling Tian said. He trusted Su Bi Lie. After all, without Su Bi Lie, he would have been killed not long after he joined the Myriad Laws Academy.

…

After entering the Divine Sanction Battlefield through the Profound Zen Battlefield, Su Bi Lie said solemnly, “Duan Ling Tian, although you’re remarkably talented, it’s impossible for you to escape from dangerous situations. Let me remind you to be extra cautious in everything you do. Although I’ve never heard of anyone as talented as you, I’m sure you’re not the first nor the last in the long history of the G.o.d Defying World. I don’t know if they successfully grew into their potential, but there’s no doubt that they all faced the great danger of dying before growing into their powers. Everything will be in vain if you die before your time. Even the most monstrous talent will be erased by time.”

The solemn expression on Su Bi Lie’s face eased as he continued to say, “Hence, you must remember to be cautious.”

“Thank you for your reminder, Academy Master. I’ll be cautious in everything I do,” Duan Ling Tian replied seriously as he nodded. If Ning Yi Xuan did not show up and saved him previously, he would have died. Since then, he had become very cautious. Although he managed to escape from great danger every time, who knew when his luck would run out?

“Goodbye,” Su Bi Lie said before he left through a spatial tear, leaving a knife-shaped thing with a chilling aura behind.

“This is…” Duan Ling Tian’s eyes widened in shock. He instinctively turned to look at Su Bi Lie, but Su Bi Lie had already disappeared.

‘A fragment of the prime divine artifact…’ Duan Ling Tian sighed emotionally. He could tell that the fragment of the prime divine artifact was very precious to Su Bi Lie and that it was likely the only one in Su Bi Lie’s possession. After all, not all advanced Supreme G.o.ds possessed fragments of prime divine artifacts unless they were among the strongest. It was not difficult to guess that Su Bi Lie, who was weaker than Yun Ting Feng and his Eldest Senior Sister, only had one in his possession.

‘I owe him another favor…’ Duan Ling Tian shook his head as put away the fragment of the prime divine artifact. This was his eighth fragment of the prime divine artifact.

‘I need two more fragments before my Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword can begin its transformation into a prime divine artifact. At that time, I’ll grow stronger as well, and I might be comparable to a top intermediate Supreme G.o.d as long as he or she doesn’t own a prime divine artifact. I might even be able to defeat him or her…’ Duan Ling Tian’s eyes burned with antic.i.p.ation.

‘Alright, let’s head to the chaotic region!’

Duan Ling Tian, who was outside of the chaotic region on the Divine Sanction Battlefield, wasted no time in returning to the Divine Offering Land through a base camp before entering the Divine Sanction Battlefield again. After that, he quickly made his way to the chaotic region.

…

Soon after Duan Ling Tian arrived in the chaotic region, he made his way through a valley.

Suddenly, a wave of energy swept toward Duan Ling Tian. After sensing the energy, he was rendered speechless. He was chosen to be a gatekeeper of a level in a secret realm again!

‘The challengers are definitely not from the Divine Offering Land. I wonder if they’re from the Sanction Land or one of the other four Realms of G.o.ds…’
