The Realm of Life and Death.
The City Lord has returned.
The silent Realm of Life and Death was almost moved to the edge of the sky by Zhao Kai.
"The City Lord has returned."
The moment he stepped into the Realm of Life and Death, the long-held oppression was finally released.
Excited voices echoed through the heavens and earth.
The Realm of Life and Death is different from other worlds.
All beings in the Myriad Dao Universe can enter.
Just like the Great Yu Realm and the Misty Realm that had been seen before, they were all single Great Daos, and the Great Dao Universe was completely controlled by the Realm Lord, making it impossible for others to enter.
The world belongs to the Realm Lord, and the Great Dao also belongs to the Realm Lord.
But the Realm of Life and Death is different; all Daos can be entered by everyone.
As long as one's life and death are in their own hands, even if others shatter all other Great Daos, they will not die, at most their cultivation will decline.
Figures emerged from the Dao Net dotted with stars.
Every face carried a hint of excitement.
With the return of the Realm Lord, the Great Dao power that had been depleted began to recover.
In the battle with the Heavenly Emperor Yan Biao, Chen Fan had drained the Great Dao Universe of the Realm of Life and Death.
Now, as he returned, it slowly began to recover.
Seeing these people, Chen Fan also smiled from the bottom of his heart.
His gaze fell on Zhao Kai, and he laughed, "You fellow, why did you run so far?"
Zhao Kai chuckled sheepishly, "Sense of death, your subordinate sensed danger and then ran."
"Then why did you run so far?"
"It was a premonition of crisis, and I didn't stop until it disappeared, and then I realized I had run so far." Zhao Kai looked helpless.
Chen Fan praised, "Very good, you will do this from now on..."
After speaking, he scanned everyone's faces in turn.
He said, "Everyone, now our Realm of Life and Death has made an enemy of the Divine Heavens Domain. Hurry up and cultivate. The number of Heavenly Emperors in our Realm of Life and Death is still too few."
Look at the Qingxiao Great World, which easily produced two sixth-rank experts.
Envious.
If nothing else, if the Realm of Life and Death could have a few more Heavenly Emperors, even fourth-rank, they wouldn't be so embarrassed.
"..."
The crowd remained silent, but their gazes were resolute.
Chen Fan said no more, as if he had made his point.
He added, "Next, we will rest for a few days, and then go back for a surprise attack."
"Yes."
A neat response echoed through the heavens and earth.
...
In the heavens and earth, on the Dao Net, everyone retreated.
Returning to the great stars, they began to cultivate once more.
The Realm of Life and Death drifted in the chaos, traversing the chaos.
Time passed day by day.
It was very quiet.
Chen Fan did not participate too much in the lives below the Dao Net.
Chen Fan opened his eyes, transforming into the sun and moon.
The great sun and the full moon were both his eyes.
In the entire Realm of Life and Death, no dead corner could escape his silent observation.
One had to admit that humans were truly the most resilient beings.
These people migrated from the Tu Xing Realm to the Realm of Life and Death not long ago, but they had already begun to adapt to this life.
Compared to the depleted world of the Tu Xing Realm, this was simply a paradise.
In the center of the Realm of Life and Death, a divine mountain stood tall.
Bi Tian sat on the divine mountain like a deity, preaching to the world.
Talented young humans began to rise one after another.
Every day, someone would discover hidden opportunities in the wilderness.
Bi Tian and Fu Yu, transformed into Dao Ancestors, preached throughout the realm.
A moment later, Chen Fan retracted his gaze.
"These two fellows are not bad..." A smile appeared on Chen Fan's face.
The cultivation of each person brought great benefits to the Realm of Life and Death.
Others might not see it, but Chen Fan, the Realm Lord, could.
Strands of energy passed through the barriers of the Realm of Life and Death, entering the world.
Every moment, the Realm of Life and Death was being strengthened.
"Soon," Chen Fan murmured.
The Realm of Life and Death was about to break through and become a fifth-rank Great World.
Normally, when the Realm Lord broke through to the fifth rank, the world would also advance.
But the Realm of Life and Death was somewhat different.
There were too few people.
A normal fifth-rank Great World required at least three billion people.
How many people were there in the Realm of Life and Death?
Originally uninhabited, the beings transferred from the annihilated Tu Xing Realm were less than three hundred million.
The difference was too great.
But there was no other way.
The Realm of Life and Death had only been established for a short time.
Normal fourth-rank Great Worlds had existed for thousands of years.
Yet, the Realm of Life and Death had, in less than a year, advanced from a first-rank Imperial Palace to the fourth rank.
And now, it was about to break through to the fifth rank.
"Zhao Kai."
Chen Fan spoke, summoning the controller of the full moon.
Zhao Kai instantly rode the great moon, emerging from the full moon. "Greetings, City Lord."
"Help me do something."
"Please, City Lord, command."
"Go to the surrounding areas and find a world with the power of simulation."
"Yes."
As a subordinate, Zhao Kai was very self-aware.
He did not ask why.
He would do as the City Lord commanded.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Fan added, "Try your best to find one. It's okay if you can't find one, as most worlds are hidden..."
"Your subordinate understands."
Zhao Kai quickly departed.
The Realm of Life and Death fell into silence once more.
...
Time flowed slowly.
A year's time was no different from a flick of a finger in the chaos.
It was normal for an Emperor to be in seclusion for a hundred or eighty years.
However, the people of the Realm of Life and Death were accustomed to growing up in a tense atmosphere.
One year...
Buzz.
On this day, in the lower realm.
The Dao Mountain created by Bi Tian was named the Mountain of Life.
The force established by Fu Yu was the Mountain of Death.
These two divine mountains held unparalleled status in the lower realm.
On this day, at the Mountain of Life.
Bi Tian, transformed into a Dao Ancestor, appeared, his gaze peaceful as he looked at the young girl before him.
Judging by her bone age, the girl had reached adulthood.
"Qi'er."
Bi Tian's face held a pleased smile. "Are you really ready?"
"I am ready."
The girl's gaze was firm. "Your subordinate wishes to meet the one who saved me..."
After a year, no one had forgotten the survival situation in the Tu Xing Realm.
Everyone knew, but no one spoke of it.
All of them kept this gratitude in their hearts.
Compared to the Tu Xing Realm, the Realm of Life and Death was heaven.
That person had brought them from hell to heaven.
She wanted to thank him in person...
For herself, for her family, for... gratitude.
"Good."
Bi Tian nodded.
He raised his hand and grabbed at the sky. The clouds condensed into a silver river, forming a cloud ladder.
"Go up."
Bi Tian said, "You are the first demigod in my lower realm. No matter what happens during this time, remember... do not give up. As long as you can ascend the heavenly ladder, you will find that all your efforts are worth it."
Qi'er nodded, her eyes filled with determination.
Near the Mountain of Life, more than a hundred thousand cultivators had gathered.
In the distance...
"Buzz."
From the Mountain of Death, a gaze was cast.
In the gaze, there was a hint of envy and jealousy.
"Heh heh."
Bi Tian laughed lewdly. "Envious? My Mountain of Life will be the first to meet the Realm Lord."
His voice was only audible to the two of them.
"Hmph."
Fu Yu was furious and snorted, "Let's see if she can ascend first."
After speaking, he ignored Bi Tian.
Turning around, he looked at the tens of thousands of disciples before him.
For some reason, a surge of resentment arose in his heart.
The next moment, a cold voice echoed from the Mountain of Death. "A bunch of trash! The Mountain of Life has taken the lead. Everyone, enter the Purgatory of Death for training."
