I create patterns, regardless of your level of expertise.

Upon hearing Wuliangsheng's question, Li Hao thought to himself, "Isn't this just stating the obvious?"

If I didn't want to know, then what was the point of saying all that before? Was it just padding the word count?

"Just tell us already. We're not into suspense, so stop being so mysterious."

"Alright!" Wuliang Sheng sighed heavily, then said while carefully choosing his words, "You already know about the struggle between the divine realm and the void creatures. In the end, this is the source."

"Long ago, before the realm of gods existed."

"A group of peerless geniuses who could shine for an entire era emerged at that time. After they all cultivated to the limit of the four realms, they naturally continued to explore upwards."

"The process was arduous, but it had nothing to do with what I was doing, so I won't go into details."

"In short, until one day, some guy accidentally got lost in the void and it took him a considerable amount of time to find his way back."

"There is no spiritual energy in the void, and without replenishment, even a Martial God cannot withstand it."

"Over a long period of time, he consumed a large number of void creatures. Gradually, the void power and his own spiritual power combined and produced some new changes."

Hearing this, Lin Yan couldn't help but recall what Cheng Wanli had told him before.

So-called divine power is the combination of spiritual power and the power of the void.

So, the one Old Wu is talking about right now should be the first "god".

Wuliang Sheng continued, "This discovery was accidental, but it undoubtedly opened up a new path for the geniuses of that era."

"Therefore, all those who cultivated to the limit of the four realms entered the void to hunt void creatures and try to fuse new power."

"But as you know, although there are many void creatures, the void is just too vast, and it's not that easy to encounter them."

"Initially, only a small number of lucky individuals were able to embark on that path, but there were simply too many exceptional talents at the time, and there were far too few to go around."

Li Hao stroked his chin and asked, "So, there's internal strife?"

He couldn't help but recall the scene when he flew into space before. At that time, when he looked back, he saw that the entire Four Realms was also a sphere, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

But now that I think about it, it's not spherical at all.

It is clearly four continents, like watermelon rinds, joined together to form a sphere, with a hollow center.

And because the spirit world has temporarily disappeared, a piece is missing.

If he had stayed in space longer, he could have seen it more clearly.

Damn it, could it have been broken by the same group of people from back then?

Wuliang Sheng immediately denied it: "No, there was no internal strife."

"Although there were some disputes at the beginning, the four tribes were much more united back then than they are now."

The powerful figures from various races discussed the matter and decided that since finding void creatures was too much trouble, why not just let the void creatures come to them?

Upon hearing this, Li Hao agreed: "So they set up bait to lure us in?"

Wuliang Sheng replied, "Yes."

"During that period of hunting Void creatures, they discovered that Void creatures are quite sensitive to anything that enters from the outside and will actively seek them out."

"So they discussed it and decided to offer up the most precious spiritual objects in the four realms."

"Nine Netherworld Demon Land, Five-Colored Sacred Land, Chaotic Yellow Land, Abundant Spirit Land."

There is still some debate about which treasure is ranked second, but there is absolutely no disagreement about which treasure is ranked first in all four realms.

These four earth elements were created even earlier than the four races, and there cannot be any more powerful treasures than them.

As luck would have it, Lin Yan has now acquired one of the four elements.

He hadn't originally intended to collect these things, but now that he's heard how exciting they are, he's starting to get interested in collecting them.

Wuliangsheng was unaware that Li Hao's thoughts had drifted far away, and continued, "The Four Earths have an extremely strong attraction for void creatures, so the geniuses of that era contributed the Four Earths one after another."

"And so, the realm of gods was born."

One sentence finally brought Li Hao back to his senses.

"So, according to you, the divine realm is actually just a giant bait?"

Wuliang Sheng gave a bitter smile and said, "Yes."

"This certainly attracted many void creatures to come and become nourishment for the conversion of divine power."

"Then, what followed was a situation that was very easy to predict."

"The realm of gods has not been established for very long, yet it has already attracted some intractable troubles."

At this point, even Wuliangsheng, that rotten bastard, showed a hint of regret and reluctance on his face.

"A powerful void creature has appeared, seeking to devour the entire realm of gods."

"At that time, there were already many living beings in the God Realm, and the geniuses of that era could not sit idly by."

"So all the powerful beings joined together to form the Divine Court, and after paying an extremely heavy price, they finally... drove that void creature away."

At this point, Wuliang Shengzhang sighed: "He could return at any time. Even if we don't see Him, the divine realm will still be a dazzling lure."

"Next time, I don't know when, but given enough time, a powerful void creature will definitely appear."

"At that time, it will be a disaster for the entire divine realm."

"For certain reasons, this information was not made public; only those who have reached a certain level are qualified to know it."

"So, under this invisible threat, the Adventists, the Sacrificeists, and the Resistanceists were born."

"As a member of the resistance faction, I am not only resisting the other two factions, but also preventing this situation that will inevitably occur in the future."

Upon hearing this, Li Hao sat up straight.

Now we're finally getting to the main point; the backstory has been quite long.

Wuliang Sheng pointed to himself and said, "The power of the void creatures is beyond doubt. Their potential is higher than ours, but they are not without weaknesses."

"Towards the end of the last great war, the Divine Court seemed to have discovered something extraordinary, and they wanted to create something..."

"Let's just call it a kind of toxin."

"This toxin has a remarkable effect on void creatures, especially intelligent void creatures."

"Unfortunately, this toxin was not fully developed at the time, and many important figures perished in the fight against it."

"Until the end of the war, this toxin was still only a semi-finished product, and due to various reasons, very little information about it was left."

"Right now, we can't even tell what this thing is, let alone reproduce it. We can only infer from the numerous pieces of evidence that it must exist."

"After much thought, there is only one way that could possibly recur."

"The Underworld".

As mentioned earlier, some living beings are captured by the underworld after death. The Divine Court has a large number of people, so surely some of them must have been captured by the underworld?

Although not everyone in the Divine Court knows about this poison, it is at least a glimmer of hope.

Hearing this, Li Hao finally understood.

"That's why you came down here, partly to stop the other two factions from acting crazy, and partly to try to enter the underworld and see if you can find the souls of the people in the divine court."

"Damn, why do you suddenly seem so impressive? You can even wash this?"

Wuliang Sheng was completely bewildered: "Wash what?"

Li Hao waved his hand: "It's nothing, you wouldn't understand."

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Wuliang Sheng didn't dwell on it.

"Oh, right, there's something else, unrelated to what I just said, I just wanted to ask."

"What is it?"

"How did the spirit world fly away?"

Li Hao was taken aback and asked, "How do you know? Did the people from the Medicine Tower tell you? Didn't they tell you what happened?"

Wuliang Sheng shook his head: "No one told me. I just saw the spirit world flying over when I was in the underworld. Luckily, my way back wasn't blocked."

Li Hao was stunned: "Holy crap?!"
