Among the five portions of the authority of the Divine Realm, four of them were already taken.
Hence, the three gods retracted Their gazes from the vortex and stared at the Mountains and Seas Region through the void.
Next, the last authority of the Divine Realm would be decided under Their gazes.
Just like how They didn't interfere in the battle for the emperor's corpse that happened in the depths of the vortex, whether Xu Qing and Erniu lived or died, or whether they succeeded or lost, it was all up to their fates.
Since they had chosen to vie for fate here, all must abide by the decree of destiny.
For the three gods, the contest over the emperor's corpse was the opportunity They had been waiting for, the key to opening the curtains on the grand stage.
As for the Mountains and Seas, it was a karma that pierced through time and connected the Northern Immortal Emperor World and the Wanggu Continent.
It had taken shape and was connected.
Therefore, at this moment, They also wouldn't help with the success or failure of the person in the Mountains and Seas.
Regardless of karma or fate, although there were promises in time, it still depended on whether the fate of the person who was promised could withstand them.
If that person in the Mountains and Seas could inherit the authority, They were also willing to fulfill the promise and add icing on the cake, giving him the opportunity of becoming a god.
If he couldn't bear it, it would also be karma. The fifth authority would return and enhance the three gods. With the promise as fuel, burning through countless ages, forging a divine Dao.
It was also a divine fruit.
At that time, Mountains and Seas wouldn't be able to blame anyone but fate.
Hence, nothing was predestined. Only… the spider god was bound to die.
It would either die in the Mountains and Seas or in the hands of the three gods.

The Mountains and Seas Region was still choosing, and the fortune of the Divine Realm had already landed in the fates of those with authority. Hence, the auras of the three gods, Sun, Moon, and Star, rose increasingly under the enhancement and their divine shrines appeared above the vortex, becoming increasingly glorious.
Their status also fluctuated correspondingly. Their respective golden divine flames were burning fiercely. When it reached the extreme, a hint of hidden black fire vaguely appeared and the seal was undone amidst the gold.
Among them, the Sun God had the densest amount of black fire, followed by the Moon God, and then the Star God.
"Finally unseal the tribulation fire."
The Sun God closed Their eyes, the Moon God was silent, and the Star God was filled with anticipation.
…
Those with authority included the emperor's corpse in the depths of the vortex.
Hence, fortune also landed in the long river of fate of the emperor's corpse.
Because its body was being controlled by Erniu and its soul was controlled by Xu Qing, the two of them seemed to have occupied the end of the river, deciding the direction and fate of the emperor's corpse.
Hence, the fortune that fell naturally belonged to the two of them.
The captain's choice was to turn the fortune of the Divine Realm into a furnace. As he burned the words of the Wordless Scripture, he also took out two feathers and burned them with fortune.
It was like refining.
This refinement process was extremely rare. In fact, it was enough to shock Wanggu.
After all, not many cultivators in the Wanggu Continent could have such good fortune to use the blood and qi of the emperor's corpse as fire and the fortune of the Divine Realm as firewood to refine artifacts extravagantly.
This refined artifact was also extraordinary.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})One was the mysterious Wordless Scripture that could evade the great calculations. Its extraordinariness could be seen from how it was able to support the two all the way to this place.
The second was born from the sentient ancient teleportation array. It embodied the wonders of creation and the changes of the Wanggu, and mysterious qualities within itself.
Its feathers were naturally astonishing.
Ordinary items could also become mystical after refining like this, let alone these two extraordinary items.
As he refined, the madness in Erniu's heart rose even more. He even muttered something with his divine sense.
"Hurry up and burn, faster!"
"Almost there, bless it, oh heavenly and earthly spirits, Summer Immortal, Mystic Nether, master, myself, and junior brother… It must succeed!"
The captain's divine sense landed in Xu Qing's perception. At that moment, the two of them were fused together. Even if Xu Qing didn't want to see or listen to the captain's actions and words, it was useless.
Moreover, with his understanding of the captain, he made a judgment after successfully refining the emperor's corpse's remnant soul.
The captain's ambition was definitely not just this.
Although he had obtained this corpse and gained the authority of the Divine Realm… this was still a little incompatible with what the captain had once said about doing a super big thing.
After all, what they obtained wasn't the complete fortune of the Divine Realm.
At that moment, Xu Qing could already sense through this fortune that the authority of the Divine Realm had been divided into five portions.
Together with the captain, they only obtained one portion.
To others, this harvest might be an extreme opportunity. However, according to Xu Qing's understanding, his crazy eldest senior brother shouldn't be satisfied.
Now that fortune had fused, the other party actually used it to refine artifacts… Xu Qing knew that his judgment wasn't wrong.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})However, he couldn't care less.
This was because the most important thing in front of Xu Qing now wasn't Eldest Senior Brother's madness but the opportunity for his cultivation to break through.
His life bound repository gate had long been opened. The mosasaur inside was the Heavenly Dao and was roaming around his divine repository while letting out a monstrous roar.
It was the same for the Poison Restriction's repository gate. Ming Fei had been formed. It had a mysterious single eye and had the marks of the Six Filths.
After the Purple Moon repository gate experienced the absorption of the power of extreme Yin earlier, the Heavenly Dao Nether Firefly had truly entered the sect. The repository gate had long opened.
As for the emperor repository, it was already perfected.
The remnant soul had turned into the Heavenly Dao under the Emperor Sword and transformed into the artifact spirit of the Emperor Sword that only belonged to Xu Qing. At this moment, it was completely activated.
Four of the five repository gates had been opened. There was only one gate left, and it was in a half-opened state.
That was… the gate to the magus repository.
This repository didn't need an additional Heavenly Dao. The body of the Magus inside was the Heavenly Dao.
What he needed was to condense the power of the magus race and push open the repository gate.
Xu Qing used the fortune of the Divine Realm to perfectly replace this force!
This was because this use wasn't one-sided. The authority of the Divine Realm existed forever. Now, it was only guiding the direction of enhancement.
At the next instant, the invisible fortune that landed in his fate gushed toward the magus repository under Xu Qing's divine sense!
The magus repository rumbled and ancient magus' body rapidly took shape. It grew taller and larger.
The nine heads of Jiuli roared in unison and fused into the body one by one. Finally, they formed a majestic figure that supported the world, emitting the light of ancient times.
It was like a giant standing in the magus repository.
This giant lifted its hand like the hand of heaven and pushed into the void in the magus repository world.
Boom!
The gate of the magus repository in Xu Qing's body was suddenly pushed open from the inside!
The instant it was opened, the five repository gates shone with a piercing light that was extremely resplendent, enveloping all of Xu Qing's sea of consciousness.
This was the activation of all five repositories!
A majestic force erupted from these five repository gates like a torrent, engulfing Xu Qing's entire body.
His cultivation base rose and his soul instantly sublimated.
His combat strength continued to increase. His status was like a fish leaping through the dragon gate!
One could see that on the five repository gates, the mosasaur roared at the sky. Its eyes were arrogant and disdainful, Nether Firefly flew up, and dark fireflies rose to the highest point. The emperor's soul held the sword and walked, and the ancestral magus opened its eyes that were like the sun and moon!
This was the appearance of the Heavenly Dao!
An earth-shattering change appeared in Xu Qing's body. As the five Heavenly Daos appeared, Xu Qing's five repository gates transformed into a furnace and began to erupt.
The rumbling sounds surpassed that of heavenly lightning. As it continued to explode, snow-like volcanic ashes erupted from the five repositories.
That dust that was like volcanic ash was formed by the Dao and fate, formed from the traces left by Xu Qing's journey in this world.
Its name was… Nihility Dust!
It would lay out a patch of ruins that could accommodate Dao marks on Xu Qing's sea of consciousness.
This was the sign and foundation of Nihility!
A strange glint appeared in Xu Qing's eyes. To him, there was no longer any obstruction in breaking through the Spirit Repository and stepping into the Nihility. He could reach it with a wave of his hand.
However, when he thought of his judgment of the captain's major event… Xu Qing's sea of consciousness suddenly calmed down and the five repository furnaces instantly froze.
Since he could break through at any time, he chose to slow down first.
It was also at this moment that the captain's voice rang out faintly.
"Junior Brother…"
The captain felt very regretful. He originally planned to stop Xu Qing from advancing and put on the attitude of a senior brother. He had even prepared what he wanted to say in his mind. After that, he could extort in the future.
Unexpectedly, Xu Qing actually slowed down his breakthrough…
'Forget it. Although he has already postponed it, I've already prepared a script!'
The captain coughed at the thought.
"Junior Brother, there's no hurry to break through. I see that your bones are extraordinary and you're a cultivation genius that's one in a million. I have an unprecedented fortune here. Do you want it?"
Upon hearing the captain's words, Xu Qing knew what he was thinking. Hence, he cooperated and nodded.
The captain was satisfied.
"Junior Brother, do you remember what I said before? Our era has arrived. Your Nihility can't be so simple."
"Becoming the master of the Divine Realm is just the prelude to my major event this time. You can also see it as a qualification token…"
"In a while, your sister-in-law, your lover, and that f*cking b*stard will put on a big show outside. We can rise with the wind!"
"However, I've prepared for a long time for this and paid a huge price. So, you have to promise me…"
"Alright." Before the captain could finish speaking, Xu Qing nodded.
"Ah? I haven't said what I want you to promise me…"
"Eldest Senior Brother, to me, as long as I can do it, I can promise you anything."
Now that the two of them had fused with the emperor's body, Erniu could sense the determination in Xu Qing's voice, and an unprecedented warmth involuntarily rose in his heart.
Amidst this warmth, he felt that his thoughts of fleecing his junior brother was a little narrow-minded.
The responsibility and burden of being the elder brother surged warmly within him, prompting him to speak proudly.
"What conditions are there to talk about when helping my own junior brother? I was just joking with you. Let's not talk about this."
"Let me tell you about my plan…"
"Junior Brother, you should know by now that the mark of a god is divine fire. Before igniting the divine fire, they are only divine beings. Only by igniting the divine fire can they be called a god."
"As for the Divine Fire Realm, it's actually divided into three levels."
"They are True Fire, Karmic Fire, and Tribulation Fire."
Xu Qing's heart stirred. This was the first time he had heard of the level of gods after igniting Their divine fire.
"For example, the fish we encountered in Fenghai County's Immortal Palace belongs to the level of true fire. It can be called a minor god until Its true fire transforms into karmic fire, then it can be called a high god."
"The scope of the high god is very large. Karmic fire and tribulation fire are both considered high gods."
"If you can perfect the tribulation fire and achieve flawlessness, the perfected stage of the tribulation fire and have a flawless achievement, there's a possibility of ascending to the divine platform, and the divine platform is Li Zihua's current realm."
Xu Qing listened very seriously. He also sensed that when the captain spoke of this information, there was an additional sense of vicissitudes.
"The level of tribulation fire, for the gods, while possessing unlimited strength and omniscience, is also incredibly perilous, as it brought tribulations for the gods.
This tribulation is beyond the god's omniscience. If unable to transcend, it will result in the extinguishing of the divine fire, the god's path will become void, and everything will turn to dust. Only when reaching the stage of flawlessness can one avoid the tribulation and prepare to break through to the divine platform in peace."
"As for the realm of the spider god, it's the third level of the Divine Fire Realm. Moreover, It has reached the end but It didn't reach flawlessness, hence its tribulation came.
Three gods along with you and I exist Its tribulation."
"It's the same for Crimson Goddess back then. Her realm is that of a high god, and She can be considered to have mastered the tribulation fire. Her status is similar to the spider god, but She's still a little short of flawlessness.
Hence, Li Zihua, you and I were Her tribulation."
"Just like how Crimson Goddess was the tribulation for the Li Zihua of the past."
Xu Qing's heart stirred as he suddenly asked.
"What about the three gods?"
"According to what I learned in my previous life, the three gods gave up on improving when They first entered the tribulation fire stage and sealed their tribulation fires. Hence, despite they are high gods, they are much weaker than Crimson Goddess."
"This time, I think… the ultimate goal of the three gods should be to cross the dangerous stage of tribulation fire in one step and directly reach flawlessness. This will open the path to the divine platform and allow them to see the divine platform!"
Just as the captain appeared saying this, his voice suddenly paused. Xu Qing moreover immediately sensed that the emperor's corpse in the vortex that the two of them possessed fused into suddenly lifted its head.
Its eyes flickered with divine light as it pierced through the vortex and saw… the outside world.
A drastic change appeared happening there!
"The wind is blowing!"
The captain's tone appeared filled with madness.
