Cultivation begins with separation.

Chapter 420 Discussion
This day marked the third day since the start of the war of the gods.

The battlefields of the gods are mostly governed by all sorts of strange rules, such as prohibitions on flying in some places, breathing in some areas, and using spells at certain times.

Once violated, the God War battlefield will reduce a certain amount of lifespan, luck, comprehension, or other intangible things; in severe cases, one may even lose their life and soul.

After three days, Yi Dong roughly understood the rules of this God War battlefield.

As a battlefield between humans and gods, there are no particularly strong rules. The strongest rule here is that one cannot run away. However, the consequences of running away are not severe; they are merely a reduction in lifespan and the loss of all calamity authority and calamity treasures.

If one possesses a treasure of discipline, one can even disregard most of the rules in the battle between humans and immortals.

The reason Yi Dong did not take action for the past three days was mainly to guard against any possible follow-up moves by the Primordial Dao Ancestor.

However, three days passed and Yuanshi did not launch another attack, which surprised Yi Dong.

Although he didn't think Yuanshi could easily come to him, given the power of the opposing Taoist sect, he could still manage to make people cause him trouble for a long time.

Yi Dong felt that the magical defenses he had prepared over the past three days were somewhat unnecessary.

"Never mind, let's collect the so-called power of calamity first."

As Yi Dong transmitted coordinates to the causal puppet, a large number of Nascent Soul and Divine Transformation level immortal bodies or avatars were quickly killed, and the power dropped by them was collected.

Among the many battlefields of immortals and humans, those who have reached the Void Returning stage are extremely rare. Moreover, the battlefield where Yi Dong is located is situated on the outer edge of the Great Thousand Starry Sky.

As Yi Dong expected, no immortals or gods could get close to him on this battlefield, let alone pose any danger to him.

This battlefield between humans and immortals is indeed his comfort zone.

The vast starry sky, the core area.

This is a chaotic vortex of energy, from which a large amount of chaotic energy is ejected.

The planets within the vortex are rich in spiritual energy, with fourth and fifth-order spiritual veins everywhere.

The spread of calamity begins at the center.

Not only can vortexes eject energy, but sometimes a planet, a star, or even an entire galaxy emerges from them.

Here, the forces of humans and demons are intertwined. On many planets, humans and demons fight endlessly, and even in the starry sky, powerful figures from both races battle.

On a planet of the Primordial Taoism, on one of the fifth-order spiritual veins.

Three Celestial Kings and nine True Immortals are discussing the decree recently passed down by the Dao Ancestor.

"It seems that dealing with that heretical cultivator from the Heavenly Capital Spirit Realm, as instructed by the Dao Ancestor, will not be so easy."

The people sent to the Heavenly Capital Spirit Realm were from the Yuan-Mongol Taoism side. If there's a traitor among them, why not let the Yuan-Mongol Taoism handle it?

The Immortal King of Zhengyi said:

"If it's easy to deal with, we can handle it as well."

However, the Abyss Overlord, despite fighting the Great Dream Immortal Sect for so long, never found himself in a predicament.

If we want to kill him safely, we need to mobilize at least a thousand enlightened immortals and tens of thousands of illusory immortals.

While we can barely spare some illusory immortals, our Primordial Taoism doesn't even have a thousand true immortals within the entire universe. We have to bring in true immortals from other immortal realms from our own sect in the Immortal Realm.

However, the resources produced by the vast starry sky are limited. Originally, this ten thousand years was supposed to be the turn of our nine immortal realms to develop them. If we let the true immortals from other immortal realms participate, wouldn't we suffer a great loss?

Inviting immortals is easy, but sending them away is difficult.

The Yuanshi Taoism has existed for countless years.

In the celestial realm, the Primordial Taoism has three thousand celestial domains under its command, and each celestial domain is further divided into multiple celestial systems.

The Yuanshi Taoism is too large. Even the Yuanshi Tao Ancestor only nominally governs the three thousand immortal realms. If the Tao Ancestor's decree conflicts with the interests of an immortal realm, then the immortal kings and true immortals of that immortal realm will most likely ignore the Tao Ancestor's decree.

Within the Yuanshi Taoism, each immortal realm possesses a great deal of autonomy.

It's not just the Yuanshi Taoism; over countless years, sects with long histories have all been in a state similar to an alliance.

Just like the Heavenly Dao Sect in the Heavenly Capital Spirit Realm, it sometimes even falls apart.

In fact, the Heavenly Dao Sect also originated from this void.

Or rather, the human realm on the other side of the celestial passage corresponding to the Heavenly Capital Spirit Realm is a part that was separated from the human sects of the celestial realm here.

Yi Dong was unaware that before the Immortal Kingdom's human race descended upon the Heavenly Capital Spirit Realm, they had been fighting with the human race in this void for countless years.

The hatred between these two different human races may be even deeper than the hatred between humans and other races.

Because these two human races are not only competing for the inheritance of human bloodlines, but also for the Great Dao.

The human race of the Immortal Kingdom and the human race of this void cannot coexist.

There are many reasons for this, one of which is the so-called environmental adaptation.

This is not a simple issue; it involves real interests.

If the Immortal Kingdom's human race were to exterminate all other humans in this void, then that void, after countless years of transformation, would give birth to some treasures suitable for the bloodline of the Immortal Kingdom's human race.

Of course, the human race is merely a tiny, insignificant species in the void, and there are few void treasures suitable for them. However, within the void itself, the spiritual realms and mortal realms inhabited by humans produce a multitude of treasures.

If the Immortal Kingdom's human race were to exterminate the human race in this void and allow the Immortal Kingdom's human race to occupy the territory of the native human race, then in the future, the many spirit realms, mortal realms, and even the corresponding immortal realm regions in this void would give birth to the heavenly books for cultivation, the rare and precious materials needed for cultivation, and so on.

If this continues, the ancient path of cultivation will slowly disappear.

For humans in the mortal class, changes in bloodline may not matter.

However, for the ancient cultivators in this void, if their cultivators were to lose their "orthodox position in the world" or even be largely wiped out by the human race of the Immortal Kingdom, their path of cultivation would be cut off.

When humans reach the level of True Immortal, they can be said to have reached the limit in terms of cultivation. However, there is no limit to immortal power, immortal techniques, and supernatural abilities. Even a Dao Ancestor who has cultivated for countless years can still gradually improve himself.

As the words of the Immortal King Zhengyi fell, another Immortal King Shengyuan retorted:

"No matter what, he is an heretic cultivator, an enemy of all of our human race. Since he has appeared in our star field, it is only right that we take action to capture him."

Purple Bamboo Immortal King looked at Holy Abyss Immortal King and knew that this person was dealing with the Lord of the Abyss because of his own selfish motives, because this Holy Abyss Immortal King had been collecting the "Abyss" commandments.

According to internal deductions, the Demon Lord will obtain a portion of the Abyss Commandments in the future.

For the Purple Bamboo Immortal King, the sect leader's decree still had to be obeyed.

Killing the Demon Lord Yi Dong might give us a chance to use his soul to control the two types of Heavenly Dao puppets under his command.

The Celestial Puppets of the Immortal Kingdom and the Celestial Puppets mentioned by the cultivators here are the same thing, just with different names.

However, if they wanted to kill the Demon Overlord, they might not have enough time to stay in the vast starry sky. They would most likely end up doing the work for others, which would be a loss. This made the Purple Bamboo Immortal King hesitate.

The Immortal King of Zhengyi didn't want to carry out the sect leader's decree in order to avoid doing useless work.

Yes, all three of them understood that to kill Yi Dong, they would need to gather a large number of enlightened immortals at once; otherwise, it would be impossible to end the war and reap the spoils within ten thousand years.

After the three Celestial Kings spoke, the nine True Immortals also expressed their opinions in turn.

There was no argument.

The cult leader's decree has been issued, and discussions have taken place for tens of thousands of years. It is also possible to prepare for another thirty to fifty thousand years.

The concept of time of true immortals is completely different from that of lower-level cultivators. After all, it is normal for true immortals to debate for tens of thousands of years.

This discussion may continue for several years before a preliminary conclusion is reached, followed by decades of further discussions with other branch halls, centuries with various lineages, and across different regions.
There was no other way; the Demon Overlord represented at least two thousand Heavenly Dao puppet forces possessing the strength of True Immortals.

This level of strength is equivalent to the high-level power of a mid-level sect in the Immortal Realm; they are not so easy to eliminate.

How to allocate combat power, allocate resources, and the interests involved are too numerous and complex to discuss at length.

In the celestial realm, enlightened immortals generally cherish their lives greatly.

The cultivators in this void civilization are far superior to those who were banished to the Heavenly Capital Spirit Realm, which corresponds to the Immortal Realm. Here, True Immortals have abundant experience in facing Dao Tribulations, as well as resources for advancing to Immortal King.

In other words, each and every immortal who attains enlightenment can theoretically possess a lifespan of almost infinite length.

Having an unlimited lifespan is equivalent to having everything.

In such circumstances, a true immortal who has attained enlightenment generally will not risk their life.

Although Yi Dong is a heretical cultivator, he is not a threat at all.

Therefore, when a war begins, it is usually the enlightened immortals who command from the rear, while the lower-level cultivators are allowed to wear down the lower-level cultivators in the early stages, and the illusory immortals are allowed to take over in the middle stages.

As for the later stages, if the enemy shows signs of defeat, then the enlightened immortal will easily achieve final victory; otherwise, the war will continue to repeat the early and middle stages.

Time slowly passed, and a century went by.

The war of the gods is also coming to an end.

On the battlefield of the gods where Yi Dong is located.

At this moment, the shadow in Yi Dong's hand grew much larger, and within the shadow, nine miniature versions of the starry sky were faintly emerging.

Is the Heart of the Stars something similar to the Book of Earth?

However, it seems quite inferior to the Book of Earth. Is it because the power of the earth's veins is weaker?

In this light, those illusory immortals in the vast starry sky may be similar in nature to innate deities. No wonder those illusory immortals are not as powerful as true Dao-merging immortals.

Yi Dong put away the power of calamity and looked at the Longquan Sword and the Seven Star Sword.

"It seems that the puzzle of the Star Empire has been completed."

Let's take a look at the differences between the ancient cultivation kingdoms and the modern cultivation kingdoms.

"Hmm, I wonder if the Primordial Taoism will join forces with the Great Dream Immortal Sect to besiege me after the God War ends."

As Yi Dong was thinking, the space in front of him shattered piece by piece, and everything before him was engulfed in destruction.

This means the war of the gods has ended.
