Chapter 21: The Situation After Ten Years_2
"I can imagine the reason for boosting you, it must be to devour you and gain more benefits, right?"
Planet Will admitted it had exposed itself, and given the preciousness of a Planet Will, this wasn't impossible.
[Yes, but not entirely, there is another more critical reason, world advancement.]
"World advancement?" Wang Sheng could understand the term, but he didn't know what it represented. However, from the tone of Planet Will, this so-called world advancement surely entailed benefits.
[World advancement, planet advancement, there are many terms for it, representing a planet or a world reaching a higher level. After advancement, the world's cultivation environment and resources will improve.
The conditions for advancement are simple: the world's essence strengthens, and it will automatically progress. These benefits are complemented by the most important aspect: when the world advances, cultivators can seize the opportunity to enhance their realms.]
[The previous cosmic turbulence that brought energy to our planet was also a form of advancement.]
[The Chaotic Realm nurtures strong beings, aiming for our planet's advancement and enabling their world's strong beings to advance. There has already been one occurrence in the past decade, and soon there will be another, though this one is somewhat special.]
"What's so special about it?"
[I don't know how the Chaotic Realm achieves this, but aside from increasing the world's essence, they can also promote world advancement through the sacrifice of living beings...]
"The Chaotic Realm wants to employ this method?"
[Yes, because the Chaotic Realm is afraid of accidents, they dare not let too many beings from our world advance. Haven't I told you? Cultivators who have reached the Sixth Realm are all allied with the Chaotic Realm.
Unwilling allies are suppressed, now limited to at most the Fifth Realm, even Huangtian is no exception, with three Eighth Realm threats, Huangtian can no longer control the situation...]
Wang Sheng roughly understood the situation.
Datong could still exist because the Chaotic Realm treated the beings of Datong as pigs to be slaughtered; it just wasn't time for the slaughter yet.
According to Planet Will, that moment might soon arrive.
[If you haven't returned by then, there's nothing I can do. When the Chaotic Realm sacrifices living beings to advance the world, it will be the time they devour me and the entire planet, and no one will survive.]
"Is the dagger finally shown at the end?"
The Chaotic Realm did not conceal its ambition, indicating that the time was at its end.
Before he could continue, Planet Will spoke again.
[Wang Sheng, just like ten years ago, I have figured out the method used by the Ninth Realm of the Chaotic Realm. After these years of infiltration, even though they still can't arrive, it won't be like ten years ago when they could only act once.
If you're not confident, try to take some people and leave. Living is better than having no hope. I will self-destruct and not give the Chaotic Realm a chance.]
The primary purpose of Planet Will appearing wasn't to seek Wang Sheng's aid.
After these ten years, it clearly understood the situation.
The threat of the Eighth Realm of the Chaotic Realm was not to be mentioned; currently, there were only three of the Eighth Realm in the planet, which didn't mean the Chaotic Realm could only send three from the Eighth Realm.
Huangtian could no longer guard the cross-realm passage.
With three of the Eighth Realm appearing simultaneously, they weren't afraid of a one-for-one threat from Huangtian.
Once the cross-realm passage was lost, the Chaotic Realm could send as many as they wished.
Moreover, there was a Ninth Realm powerhouse who seemed ready to act at any moment, the one called the Sovereign!
If there were no means to counter the Ninth Realm, any number sent would die.
Ten years was a long time, but to confront a Ninth Realm… challenging!
The Ninth Realm is not easy to break through.
Wang Sheng, hearing the words of Planet Will, quickly realized, although Planet Will seemed casual while updating him, it was actually desperate.
Even the words "self-destruct" had been mentioned!
However—
"If you want to self-destruct, it might not be so easy. You once mentioned that there are similar existences in the Chaotic Realm, which means the Chaotic Realm has a World Will, and this World Will surely knows more than you. Do you think it hasn't considered what you have?"
Wang Sheng felt, if he were the World Will of the Chaotic Realm, he wouldn't let a cooked duck fly away; there would surely be restrictions.
Planet Will fell silent.
It had also thought of this.
[How can we know without trying?]
Hearing this, Wang Sheng didn't further discuss and said, "First, take me back to see the situation. It's not yet a hopeless moment; perhaps there is a chance?"
He didn't specify, but the implication was somewhat clear to Planet Will.
But before Planet Will could say anything more, Wang Sheng raised a finger to his lips, "No more talking, take me back first... find a suitable place..."
Planet Will suppressed the excitement in its heart and started to lead Wang Sheng.
If its guess was true,
There was a solution to this crisis.
Wang Sheng secretly returned to the planet.
Upon his return, Wang Sheng immediately sensed the three places he had prepared as contingencies.
Two of these contingencies, on Zhu Xiao and Huangtian, showed signs of use, but the people were unharmed.
No one had touched Qingshan Village; apparently, the Chaotic Realm thought he was dead, focusing on the world at large without trying to find his location.
This was good news; the few people he cared about were all right.
Before long, he arrived at a gathering place for beings of Datong.
Seeing the situation, he furrowed his brow.
Things were not as good as Planet Will had described.
This human gathering place seemed to be ruled by someone from the Sixth Realm.
It was a human, presumably a Datong being.
This person made countless people work tirelessly for him.
From cultivators of the Fourth Realm down to the First Realm, everyone was under his tyranny, forced to work.
"No rest allowed, start cultivating! The master's palace must be completed within a month!"
"So what if you're of the Fourth Realm, you still have to submit!"
Someone wielding a whip lashed it directly onto a cultivator of the Fourth Realm.
The cultivator from the Fourth Realm seemed to have his cultivation sealed, unable to resist at all.
Yet in the concealed gazes, there was full of hatred.
Clearly, this situation had not started long ago and their morale had not yet been crushed.
"This is an occupied area, now only a few defended areas are still under protection; besides those, all are occupied areas, mostly like this," Planet Will explained.
Wang Sheng frowned but did not intervene.
It was not yet time to startle the snake.
Then, he visited several more places, just as Planet Will had said, nowhere was truly better.
Aside from the exploitation of their own, all the cultivators were suppressed.
And there were also people from the Chaotic Realm strutting around.
Any Third Realm individual could rule over the people of their planet.
"These are not strong, but are all descendants from the Sixth or Seventh Realm of the Chaotic Realm. They were born later, not benefiting from the advancements of the Chaotic Realm World, so they come to our planet to enjoy the benefits. After that previous advancement, the Chaotic Realm gained quite a few cultivators below the Sixth Realm," explained Planet Will.
"Are those traitors unaware of the sacrifices?"
Many from the Sixth Realm were bullying others, seemingly oblivious.
He had even seen some powerful individuals from the Chaotic Realm withdraw.
"Because they are also fodder for the sacrifice, how could they know?" Planet Will remarked sarcastically.
"I see…"
Wang Sheng nodded, deep in thought.
He thought about the arrogance of the traitors, the arrogance of the people from the Chaotic Realm.
Then he thought about his own strength.
Eventually, he realized, why hold back!
Right now, he only wanted to kill!
"Where is the Eighth Realm of the Chaotic Realm?"
Let's start from the Eighth Realm!
