Chapter 235: Defection
Several decades passed, and unexpectedly, it was the origin of the Other Realm that Fang Ming first devoured, which surprised him quite a bit.
In terms of scale, the Other Realm was definitely larger than the Soul River in Covering Heavens, but it was devoured first, which was beyond Fang Ming's expectation.
One could only say it was worthy of being a part of the Great World.
As the Other Realm was completely devoured, all the immeasurable secret treasures, endless immortal gold, divine treasures, and immortal medicine of this world were swallowed into the All Heavens World by him.
Of course, he didn't need these things now. In his All Heavens World, there was a vast quantity of divine medicine, immortal medicine, and even immortal gold.
These resources were things that appeared with the birth of the world when the world first opened.
Resources were secondary, insignificant things. The truly good things were the cultivation civilization and system developed by the Other Realm, including countless divine abilities, secret techniques, and cultivation scriptures. These were the true wealth.
"Since the Soul River has lost contact with the mainstream, it's only a matter of time before I completely devour it."
With a thought, Fang Ming's main body was about to push open the bronze gate beside him and head to the Time Sea.
Just then, Fang Ming abruptly stopped his action of pushing the door. Including his main body, along with the Five Great Split Bodies, their figures manifested and collectively looked through the All Heavens World Gate at the world connected to the Soul River Branch of Covering Heavens.
At this moment, on the edge of the Soul River Branch world in Covering Heavens, which was about to be completely devoured, ripples spread out in the void, and rune after rune spewed forth from the void.
Those runes were entwined with gray-white light, carrying a strong gray-white contamination force, and accompanied by intense Great Dao fluctuations, a gray-white passage formed in an instant.
That passage was so vast, connecting to a boundless world.
In a moment, the Great Dao laws of this All Heavens World reacted spontaneously, engaging in a fierce confrontation with it, and endless laws submerged this place.
The heaven and earth Great Dao laws of the two worlds erupted in a fierce confrontation and conflict, with endless dazzling Great Dao light rain. There was no more beautiful sight than this.
However, accompanied by a clear sound of footsteps, the billions of Great Dao laws that had fallen in this world were lifted up. That was an astonishing fluctuation spreading from within the passage; someone was crossing realms.
Gray-white ominous light surged, and the strongest qi and blood and Great Dao laws erupted. Figure after figure, tall and imposing, crossed realms from within the passage, and fluctuations belonging to the Immortal King level spread out without limit.
The passage disappeared, and nine figures appeared.
The leader was a tall man with gray-white hair, and even his eyes were gray-white. His body was surrounded by wisps of immortal Emperor Light that would not decay even after myriad tribulations. After stepping into the Soul River Branch world, which now only had one or two tenths left, he looked into the distance and immediately frowned.
"Such a powerful world, yet I can't sense the presence of a Chang Sheng Zhe... This shouldn't be like this!" The person enveloped in gray-white Emperor Light was puzzled.
Of course, he knew what had happened in this world not long ago, but it was difficult to disobey orders. These people had once been subordinates of the supreme Gray Nether, and now they had no choice but to come and investigate the situation.
Coming to investigate the situation would inevitably lead to a bad end.
The nine Kings who had crossed realms stood in the part of the Soul River territory that had not yet been encroached upon, quietly observing the world opposite. Gray-white light flickered in their eyes, and they did not act rashly.
At this moment, in the depths of the Soul River, which had been mostly encroached upon by Fang Ming, all the cultivators felt the terrifying fluctuations of the Immortal King level.
All living beings were certain that in front of beings of this level, they had absolutely no power to resist. They were not on the same level of existence.
However, they were not overly worried. Over the years, they had already understood that there was an unfathomable being in this All Heavens World.
He was respectfully called 'Immortal Revered', the pioneer of the All Heavens World, with vast divine abilities and unfathomable power!
The Immortal Revered possessed various incredible divine abilities, and in terms of strength, he might have already surpassed the scope of 'Immortal King' recorded in ancient texts.
Therefore, the cultivators of this world were not very worried. On the contrary, many cultivators were even looking forward to the 'Immortal Revered' making a move.
At this time, after observing carefully for a while, one of the Strange Clan Immortal Kings who had crossed realms spoke, asking, "Adult, what should we do?"
"The world opposite seems to have no Chang Sheng Zhe, but it must possess a truly supreme existence, which is actually unfathomable... If we make a move, we will definitely perish," a petite female Strange Clan Immortal King with silver hair echoed.
The current situation was clear. They could not obtain useful information, nor could they break through the barrier of the opposite world and go to the enemy's real base camp. They could only stop here.
"Don't act rashly," the leading man said in a deep voice, staring fearfully at the Soul River which had been encroached upon and turned into a normal color. "Whenever I have the thought of entering that world, a chilling feeling arises in my heart, as if I could die at any time. This is a bone-chilling feeling."
"Adult, is this our only option? Can't we go back? Can't we join the Netherworld or the Heavenly Emperor Burial Pit?" someone behind him said indignantly. "This is clearly sending us here to die!"
The road they came from had disappeared. It seemed they had no way back.
The person with gray-white hair gazed in the direction of the All Heavens World, and a calm voice came out: "We have never had the right to choose, not since we were born!"
"Yes, we were born into the supreme holy clan and have never had a choice... Those who possess purer and more sacred material can suppress lower beings..."
...
"But now you do. Now you can make a new choice. It's not too late."
Just then, a calm voice sounded in the hearts of the nine Strange Clan Immortal Kings.
Nowadays, Fang Ming's cultivation and strength were naturally capable of achieving this step.
The reason he didn't immediately kill them was because these few people were valuable.
As Strange Clan Immortal Kings, and one of them being an Emperor Light Immortal King, they must have a certain status within the Soul River and surely know many things.
They were worth Fang Ming spending some time on.
Hearing Fang Ming's words resonate in their hearts, the nine Strange Clan Immortal Kings were shaken and felt a chilling sensation.
They hadn't been able to detect when this voice had infiltrated their minds.
This showed that if the owner of the voice wanted to harm them, these few people would have little power to resist.
They were even seen from the very beginning!
"Could it be that a truly supreme existence has made a move? Otherwise, how could there be such a powerful Immortal King? Even if they are stronger than me, it shouldn't be to the extent that I am completely unaware..."
"Indeed, the gaze of the supreme existence has been focused on this world all along. We entered the supreme existence's sight from the very beginning..."
...
For a time, the nine Strange Clan Immortal Kings present had their thoughts flying.
"How do you all feel about my proposal? Since you have been abandoned by the Strange Clan, why not abandon the darkness and join the light? We will not despise your origins," the voice sounded again at the right time.
In later generations, some dark beings also defected to the All Heavens and became a major race.
Moreover, as time passed, the dark matter on their bodies gradually thinned, and they truly became a major race.
In fact, as long as one does not rely on strange matter to break through all the way, they will not be suppressed by higher levels of strange contamination.
As soon as these words were spoken, the nine people present immediately felt time freeze. An indescribable terrifying pressure surged from all directions, making their hearts palpitate, feeling as if they were facing a supreme existence and could die at any moment.
In an instant, the nine people present no longer hesitated. They immediately showed righteous indignation and spoke one after another: "Since Senior is willing to give us a chance, we are naturally willing to abandon the darkness and join the light, no longer associating with the strange, and henceforth join the ranks of light!"
Given the situation, no matter what their inner thoughts were, if they still wanted to live, this was their only choice.
"Very good, you have made a wise choice," as they made their choice, the voice sounded again.
Subsequently, the nine people felt their bodies relax, and the oppressive feeling of being on the verge of death disappeared.
They would not think that a casual agreement would truly gain trust.
Only by presenting a letter of submission with sufficient weight could they truly gain trust.
Without hesitation, the leading Emperor Light Immortal King pointed his finger, and a ball of light appeared. He said:
"Senior, this is the Soul River deployment map that I know of, which includes the deployments in the corresponding branches in the All Heavens worlds and a part of the main stream. Senior can investigate it a bit and will know that these areas do not have a supreme existence guarding them, so Senior can rest assured... Besides this, there are also matters related to the Netherworld and the Heavenly Emperor Burial Pit. Please take a look, Senior."
"In the future, when Senior attacks areas such as the Soul River, Netherworld, and Burial Pit, we are willing to be the vanguard and scout the way for Senior!" This Immortal King with gray-white hair said respectfully and solemnly.
"Let's not talk about attacking the Soul River for now. You gather the strange beings in this world and wait patiently. If there is any movement from the Soul River, you should know how to respond!" Fang Ming's voice sounded in their hearts.
"Senior, rest assured, we know. We will handle this matter and try our best to delay time so that the Soul River does not notice anything unusual," the leader replied respectfully.
"Then so be it," Fang Ming's voice fell, and the ball of light disappeared with it.
Seeing everything return to tranquility, the nine Immortal-King-level strange beings exchanged glances, said nothing, and went about their respective tasks.
At this time, whatever they felt, they had to keep it inside.
Within the All Heavens World, Fang Ming currently had no intention of verifying whether the information submitted by the Strange Clan Immortal King was true.
There was a more important matter to attend to at the moment.
With a gentle push, the bronze gate, which could not be pushed open no matter what before, was now easily pushed open by him, revealing a vast and boundless crystal clear ocean. That was the Sea of Time, the Great Dao Sea of Time!
