Eternal God Emperor: Only I Am Emperor One

Chapter 218 Important People
Southern Continent, Giant Whale River Basin.

In the thirty years since the Ancestral Spirit Realm became a battlefield for merit, all the ancient saintly relics and divine treasures within the realm have been looted by the Rakshasa Clan.

The only thing missing is the nest of the Ice and Fire Phoenix, the number one being below the Divine Realm.

However, not long ago, with the emergence of the Merit Book Wall in the Southern Continent, the Phoenix Nest, the Ice and Fire Phoenix Dojo, which had been hidden for thirty years, was also discovered.

Outside Phoenix Nest are ninety-nine sacred mountains. From a distance, each sacred mountain appears immense, magnificent, and exudes a mysterious power.

There are ninety-nine sacred mountains, divided into outer, middle and inner layers, arranged neatly, with thirty-three mountains in each layer.

At the heart of the sacred mountain, a radiance half blue and half crimson emanates, resembling a giant nest.

The merit book wall of the Southern Continent appeared on the summit of a sacred mountain in the middle, radiating a dazzling white light.

However, the Rakshasa army had already arrived first, completely blocking the passage to the sacred mountain where the Book of Merit Wall was located.

To get close to the wall of merit, one must first break through the net laid by the Rakshasa race. As a result, the saints of the seven realms of Shatuo have suffered heavy losses in the past period of time.

Emperor Yi stood atop a sacred mountain on the outskirts, surrounded by a group of top experts from the Kunlun Realm.

More than half a month has passed since the battle outside Xuan Yuan Mountain. The Northern Continent, Western Continent, and Eastern Continent have all been wiped out by the Rakshasa army.

"Master, I just received news that the Merit Book Wall on the Western Continent has been destroyed by the Rakshasa Clan, and all ten thousand Saints of the Blade Prison Realm, along with Realm Child Fang Yi, have perished in battle," Han Qiu reported from afar.

A moment later, Ah Le's figure also appeared on the top of the holy mountain, bringing bad news as well.

"News has come from the Eastern Continent that Twenty-Seven Chongxue led 300,000 Rakshasa Marquises to destroy the Merit Book Wall of the Eastern Continent, forcing the divine envoys of the Great Demon Ten Directions Realm to use divine weapons, but they still could not escape and were devoured by the Rakshasa race."

Upon hearing this, all the saints of Kunlun Realm became solemn.

The Blade Prison Realm's Child and the Great Demon Ten Directions Realm God Envoy are both top-tier combatants from the Seven Realms of Shatuo in the Saint's Merit Battlefield, possessing the combat power to contend with a Saint King at the first step.

Moreover, their status was extremely high, and their fall at the hands of the Rakshasa Clan dealt a great blow to the Blade Prison Realm and the Great Demon Ten Directions Realm.

Especially in the Great Demon Realm of Ten Directions, the Realm's leader, the Spirit Flame Demon Queen, has disappeared without a trace, and now the Divine Envoy has also died in battle. The hundreds of thousands of Saints in the Great Demon Realm of Ten Directions are truly leaderless.

Di Yi's gaze fell upon the merit book wall atop the central sacred mountain, and he made a conjecture in his mind.

"The Merit Book Wall of the Northern Continent is in my hands. The Rakshasa army's next target can only be the Merit Book Wall of the Southern Continent."

The talented woman from the Holy Book and Wan Zhaoyi had already arrived in the Southern Continent to join Emperor Yi.

The talented woman of the Holy Book realized that the situation was abnormal and said in a deep voice, "The merit book walls on the eastern and western continents have been destroyed. If the merit book wall in the Phoenix Nest is also destroyed, then the cultivators of the Seven Realms of Shatuo will only be able to exchange merit points through the merit book wall of the Northern World in your possession. Is the Rakshasa Clan trying to make the Kunlun Realm a target of everyone's hatred?"

Wan Zhaoyi said, "Without the Merit Book Wall, even if we collect more Rakshasa Marquis Saint Souls and Saint Blood, it will be useless. It's okay for stronger worlds like the Great Demon Ten Directions Realm and the Purple Mansion Realm. Even if the Saints lose the Merit Battle, the Saint King and Great Saint Merit Battle can keep them invincible. But the Guanghan Realm and the Blade Prison Realm are dangerous. They are very likely to be forced into a desperate situation and gamble everything. At that time, it will be difficult to distinguish friend from foe, which will be very troublesome."

Emperor Yi's gaze was deep and focused as he looked at the wall of merit records of the Southern Continent atop the Holy Mountain.

"Now, the armies of the Seven Realms of Shatuo and the Rakshasa Clan have successively gathered in the Southern Continent and arrived near the Phoenix Nest. Outside the Phoenix Nest is the decisive battleground for this merit war. The leaders of the other six realms are not fools and will surely be able to see this."

"Danqing, please send a message to the leaders of the other six realms. The Merit Wall of the Northern World allows them to exchange merit points, and they only need to give 10% to the Kunlun Realm. There's no need to needlessly throw away their lives for the Merit Wall in the Phoenix Nest."

"I believe they will make the right choice."

The talented woman was somewhat surprised to hear this, but after a moment's thought, she felt that it was a feasible plan. It could reduce unnecessary losses and also bring additional merit points to the Kunlun Realm.

Given the current accumulation of merit points in the Kunlun Realm, it is virtually impossible for the other six realms of the Shatuo Heavenly Domain to surpass it.

"Okay, I'll do it right away."

After the talented woman from the Holy Book departed, Emperor Yi looked at Wan Zhaoyi and said, "Little Holy King, notify the saints of the Kunlun Realm to enter the Phoenix Nest. They don't need to go too deep; just occupy one or two holy mountains as strongholds. The Kunlun Realm only has tens of thousands of saints, while the Rakshasa Clan's marquis army exceeds three million. I'm worried that Luo Sha, in his anger, might attack the Kunlun Realm at any cost."

Wan Zhaoyi had heard about what was happening on the Northern Continent and knew that the princess of the Rakshasa clan must now hate Di Yi to the bone.

If they can't deal with Di Yi, the other party is very likely to transfer their anger to the saints of Kunlun Realm.

"We must indeed prepare for this in advance. The Phoenix Nest is the training ground of the Ice and Fire Phoenix, guarded by the Great Sage's inscription. The space is stable, and by relying on the Holy Mountain to set up camp, we can take advantage of the terrain and block the Rakshasa army."

"Leave this to me."

……

Inside the Phoenix Nest, beneath the sacred mountain where the Book of Merit is located, tens of thousands of elite Rakshasa marquises formed a battle formation, cutting off all passages leading to the summit.

Within the battle formation, Luo Sha, four powerful figures from the Fenghuang Holy Camp, and five first-class marquises of the Rakshasa clan gathered here.

"Your Highness, news has spread throughout the Kunlun Realm that Emperor Yi is willing to share his Merit Book Wall with the other six realms. It seems pointless for us to continue guarding the Southern World's Merit Book Wall," said Twenty-Seven Snow. "The Saint's Merit War concerns the life and death of the Kunlun Realm. It's quite unexpected that he would share the Merit Book Wall. Surely he wouldn't be doing it without asking for anything in return?" Luo Sha had already regained her composure, as if everything was under her control.

"I heard that one-tenth of the merit points will be taken as a reward, and many cultivators from the other six great worlds have already set off for them," Twenty-Seven Snow replied.

“Taking one out of ten is not excessive. He is good at weighing the pros and cons and is a rare talent. It’s a pity that he was born in the Heavenly Realm. If he were a cultivator from the Hell Realm, I would really like to befriend him.”

"Since using the Merit Book Wall as bait won't work, let's switch to the simplest method. Order Fire Spirit Marquis and the others to immediately wipe out the entire Southern Continent and drive all the cultivators from the Seven Realms of Shatuo to Phoenix Nest. I will fight them here."

The total number of saints in the seven realms of Shatuo is only a little over one million, while the number of marquises in the Rakshasa clan exceeds three million, more than double that of the seven realms of Shatuo. Faced with such an absolute disparity in strength, Rakshasa only needs to employ the most reliable battle tactics to achieve final victory.

"Whoosh!"

Just then, a message talisman flew in from outside the sacred mountain and landed in the hand of Twenty-Seven Snow.

After reading the contents, he said, "Your Highness, my men have sent word that a group of saints from the Kunlun Realm are on their way to the Holy Mountain north of Phoenix Nest. They are probably going to join up with Emperor Yi and the others."

"Among this group of saints, there is one named Qiuyu, who is said to be a sapling of a divine tree that the god of Kunlun Realm intends to cultivate into a spiritual root of heaven and earth."

"Oh? A sapling of a divine tree. You and Yuejian will go there yourself and capture it. As for the others, kill them all," Luo Sha ordered.

"I obey my orders."

Twenty-seven layers of snow, along with the only woman among the four members of the Fenghuang Holy Camp, received their orders and headed towards the group of saints in the Kunlun Realm.

The Ancestral Spirit Realm is too vast, and the saints of the Kunlun Realm are scattered in all directions. Along the way, there are Rakshasa Marquises who can block the way at any time. It is not an easy task to gather near the Phoenix Nest.

……

A sacred mountain surrounding Phoenix Nest has been transformed into a base camp by tens of thousands of saints from the Kunlun Realm.

At the summit of the sacred mountain, the wall of merit books stands tall.

After seeing off Dongliu Sword Master, the World Prince of the Purple Mansion Realm, the Burial Moon Sword Saint put the one-tenth of the Rakshasa Clan's holy souls and blood he had collected into the Merit Book Wall. Watching the merit value of the Kunlun Realm continuously increase, he felt an indescribable joy.

Before coming here, everyone thought it was impossible to win the Saint's Merit Battle, but now there is actually a very high chance that it can be achieved.

The Purple Mansion Realm is the strongest Great World among the Seven Realms of Shatuo, except for the Great Demon Ten Directions Realm. However, in order to exchange for merit points, one must also voluntarily hand over a merit point to the Kunlun Realm.

The Sword Saint of Burial Moon didn't think there was anything wrong with this action. On the contrary, he felt that Di Yi was too soft-hearted. If it were him, he would have taken at least 30%.

Taking only 10% is too low a profit margin.

He even thought that Di Yi was too upright and didn't show the true nature of a heretic.

Gai Tianjiao rode the Bi'an Heavenly King from afar, her face filled with anxiety. As soon as she landed, she was stopped by the Burial Moon Sword Saint.

"Tianjiao, why are you in such a panic? What happened? As a member of the realm, you should act more cautiously."

"Master, something terrible has happened! A saint from the Fire Clan has sent a distress signal. Qiu Yu and her group were ambushed by powerful members of the Rakshasa Clan and have fled into the Phoenix Nest. Their fate is unknown," Gai Tianjiao hurriedly reported.

"Qiu Yu? He was ambushed by the Rakshasa clan? Why would the Rakshasa clan ambush him?"

The Sword Saint of Burial Moon frowned slightly, not particularly interested in Qiu Yu, who was supposedly a spiritual root of the Kunlun Realm.

They also do not believe that the revival of the Kunlun Realm or the ascension of Empress Chi Yao to godhood have anything to do with it.

Even a sapling of the sacred parasol tree cannot change the rules of a great world; it would be more likely when he becomes a god.

"Since he has entered the Battlefield of Merit, his life and death are preordained. If he dies in the Battlefield of Merit, the cultivators of Kunlun Realm will not forget his contributions."

Gai Tianjiao was somewhat bewildered by what the Burial Moon Sword Saint said. Wasn't Qiu Yu the Heavenly Spiritual Root appointed by the Empress, and why should she do everything in her power to protect it?
Judging from Master's expression, it seems he doesn't take Qiu Yu seriously.

"By the way, several saints from the Luo Sheng Clan also accompanied Qiu Yu, including that Golden Light Saint Body Luo Shuihan."

"What? Why didn't you tell me sooner about something so important?"

The Sword Saint of Burial Moon opened his eyes wide, and without saying a word, he turned and rushed towards where Emperor Yi was.

He didn't care whether Qiu Yu was alive or dead, but that girl from the Luo Sheng Clan had a close relationship with Di Yi.

If something were to happen to her, and she were captured by the Rakshasa Clan and used to threaten Emperor Yi, that would be a major event for the Kunlun Realm.
