Extracting all things: My attributes grow infinitely.

After all the cultivators from the Origin Realm left, the first thing Jiang Chuan did was to fly over the four central regions of the Origin Realm.

Looking down from high above.

The scenery of the four regions is on full display.

In the far east lies the molten realm, where the earth is cracked and rivers are upside down.

But the river wasn't flowing with water.

It's magma.

The crimson lava meandered like a long river, leaving nothing but barren land in its wake.

The volcano erupts year-round, its ash blotting out the sky, and a layer of fiery mist hangs in the air all year round, making it suffocating.

But it must be said that...

The Molten Realm is actually the most suitable place for human habitation among the four realms.

This is because the environment in the other three territories is much harsher.

For example, the Dark Realm in the West.

There is no daytime there.

There was no light all day.

The entire territory was shrouded in pitch-black darkness.

Ordinary people who go in will not live longer than an incense stick burning.

Only the Eternal Spirits, who are born with a radiant glow, are able to survive within it.

Their skin is lamp, their blood is fire.

The breath of the entire clan is the only beating pulse in this darkness.

In the deepest part of darkness, they built a magnificent temple of gods.

To the south lies the realm of countless insects.

The marshes stretched as far as the eye could see, the withered forests blocked out the sun, and poisonous miasma permeated the air.

Poisonous insects and ferocious beasts were everywhere.

Fighting,

Devour,

Never stopping.

It's like a primitive, wild world.

Not to mention humans, even ordinary beings with holy blood cannot protect themselves here.

The master of this place is the Wuxiang Clan, one of the four major source clans.

The northernmost region is known as the Realm of Nightmares.

Demonic energy surged, and evil spirits roamed freely.

Even in broad daylight, one can see ghostly figures and hear mournful cries everywhere.

One of the four primordial races, the Primordial Demon Clan, resides here.

They feed on resentment and draw strength from fear.

If a mortal were to enter...

To survive even half a day is considered extremely lucky.

These four domains are connected, occupying the most central and resource-rich area of ​​the Origin Realm.

But...

No territory is suitable for human habitation.

Jiang Chuan hovered high in the sky, gazing for a long time, taking in the entire landscape of the four regions.

Then, he looked away.

The Origin Realm Heavenly Dao has actually made its meaning quite clear.

The path it has traveled over tens of thousands of years.

That's wrong.

The four original bloodline races should not exist in the first place.

The only way out for this world is the human race, and it can only be the human race.

The next moment, Jiang Chuan raised his palm, and a rune in his palm emitted a golden-red divine light.

A soft, vibrant light poured down from his hand.

The first area to change was the Molten Realm.

The flowing lava stopped.

solidification.

The rumbling from deep underground also subsided.

Those volcanoes that roar all day long are as if someone has grabbed their throat.

The crimson lava river begins to cool and solidify inch by inch from its edge, forming black rocks.

Then, it started to rain.

The light rain fell to the ground.

It extinguished the flames that had burned on this land for tens of thousands of years.

Rainwater flowed along the cooled riverbed, gathering into clear streams that meandered out from the scorched earth.

But the fire veins of the entire earth were not extinguished as a result.

They sank into the earth, transforming into hot springs stretching for miles, into subterranean fires available for human use.

Warm springs bubbled and steamed on the earth.

Next came the realm of darkness.

The darkness that had accumulated for countless millennia was suddenly ripped open from the very center.

Patches of sunlight streamed in.

For the first time, those mountains that had never seen the sun revealed their true form.

The magnificent temple of the gods, bathed in the sunlight, suddenly seemed somewhat superfluous.

The insect swarm in the Land of Ten Thousand Insects was also stirring.

The poisonous insects that had been dwelling in the swamp seemed to have sensed something in advance, and they burrowed into the ground like madmen.

The poisonous miasma was dispersed by the wind.

The stagnant water began to flow, and the decaying forest began to sprout.

Finally, there is the Realm of Nightmares.

The demonic energy that filled the sky dissolved upon contact with light.

The dark clouds were peeled away layer by layer, revealing the bluish-gray sky underneath.

The evil spirits had nowhere to hide and vanished into the sunlight with screams.

The demon's lair, which had entrenched itself for millennia, was illuminated as brightly as day on this day.

Suddenly, silence fell over the world.

With a drumbeat.

Spring buds are sprouting.

The greenery is growing wildly.

Vines climbed up the cliff, and tree canopies stretched out to reach the sky.

The river changed course and flowed again, and flocks of birds returned from afar, landing in the newly grown forest.

Beasts crawled out from underground, timidly sniffing the new land.

These barren, desolate lands that had been abandoned for tens of thousands of years have miraculously come back to life.

Those original blood races that once occupied this place felt, for the first time, nowhere to belong on the newly born plains.

There is no place left for them in this world.

Jiang Chuan hovered high in the sky, watching this scene, and remained silent for a long time.

Such earth-shattering power should not be something a Foundation Establishment cultivator could wield.

But Jiang Chuan is a unique Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Heavenly Dao in the Origin Realm.

He shares power with the Heavenly Dao of this world.

In a sense, his current status in this world is already equivalent to that of a half-saint!

Coupled with his title as the supreme ruler of the Origin Realm, his ability to overturn the world in a single thought became a matter of course.

……

After doing all this, Jiang Chuan turned around and returned to the human territory.

At this time, the high-ranking members of the human race and the generals of the Heavenly Pavilion were still busy quelling the turmoil caused by the cultivators from the lower realms.

When they descended to the mortal realm, the heavens were thrown into chaos, and the earth was thrown into disarray as well.

Fortunately, Jiang Chuan returned in time.

He sat in the main seat, listening to Zhou Tianyan and others report the losses one by one, and then issued a series of instructions.

Disaster relief.

reconstruction.

Compensation and relief.

The orders were relayed one by one, clearly and logically, and no one dared to object.

After everyone had received their orders and dispersed, Jiang Chuan looked at Zhou Tianyan.

"The plan to relocate the entire clan to the center of the origin."

"We can continue."

"Now, the human race is the master of this world."

"This most fertile land in the world should naturally be occupied by the human race."

Zhou Tianyan remained silent.

He just stared at Jiang Chuan for a long time.

In that gaze, there was relief, but also a touch of unspoken emotion.

After a long while, the old man slowly spoke.

"Jiang Chuan."

"It's time for me, the Marshal of the Heavenly Pavilion, to step down and hand over the reins to a more capable person."

"This human should be led by someone more qualified."

Jiang Chuan remained silent for a moment.

He did not refuse.

The Heavenly Marshal is the highest-ranking official in the entire Human Federation.

The last time he crushed the four major bloodline races and put the human race on the throne, he refused.

At that time, he was single-mindedly thinking about going to the Heavenly Chapter Realm, hoping to find a further path to immortality.

now.

He has found his way.

Jiang Chuan no longer needs to leave the Origin Realm to take unnecessary risks in the Heavenly Chapter Realm; this responsibility should now be his.

"it is good."

He nodded.

The news spread faster than he had imagined.

That evening, federal television and radio broadcast the news.

The newly appointed Marshal of the Heavenly Pavilion, Jiang Chuan.

In an instant, lights were lit up in every city of the Origin Realm.

The whole country rejoiced, and the streets were deserted as everyone thronged to watch.

……

Tianyuan City.

West of the city.

An equipment recycling station.

It's called a recycling station, but it's really just a garbage dump.

Scrap metal, broken swords, and wrecked equipment were piled up like mountains.

The air was always filled with the smell of rust and mildew.

Several narrow alleys are squeezed between tin sheds, and black, foul-smelling sewage flows through the passageways.

Zhang Hao straightened up from behind a pile of scrap metal.

five years.

The plump boy from back then has long since shed his childishness.

Now, he has broad shoulders, strong arms, and a tough look honed by the wind and sun.

He wiped his sweat and was about to continue working when he saw the screen hanging on the wall.

The screen was showing federal news.

A name he knew all too well was read aloud.

The newly appointed Marshal of the Heavenly Pavilion, Jiang Chuan.

Zhang Hao froze completely.

He stared blankly at the face on the screen, watching the person walk out of the crowd and receive the worship of the people.

"Kawako...?!"

His eyes widened in disbelief, then his face lit up with ecstatic joy.

He rushed towards his coworker, grabbed him by the collar, and shook him violently.

"Did you see that!"

"This is my high school classmate!"

"We used to be the best of friends!"

The coworker was so shaken that his eyes rolled back. He finally managed to break free and, after hearing what he said, he sneered.

"What the hell?! Give me a break!"

"You're saying the current Marshal of the Heavenly Pavilion is your best friend from back then?"

"Then why do you still stay in this garbage-filled place, living a miserable life in darkness?"

"Stop bragging! Your nonsense is outrageous!"

Zhang Hao's expression froze, his face flushed red, and his tone softened, but he still said, "What are you bragging about? I even have a high school photo with him!"

Several people nearby also joined in the teasing.

"Even if you two used to be best friends, he is now the supreme marshal who commands the entire Federation."

"No, not just the Federation."

"I once heard a celestial being who descended from the heavens say that he is the supreme ruler of the entire Origin Realm!!"

"A sovereign ruler? What's that?"

"I don't know, but it sounds impressive."

The person who spoke scratched his head.

He never left Tianyuan City in his entire life.

The only outsiders they had ever seen were the celestial beings who descended a few days ago.

"You still call yourself a celestial being?"

Someone immediately interrupted, their expression changing.

"The Federation has already classified them as demons."

"Do you know how many people they've killed elsewhere?"

"Saying something like that, you're asking for it!"

The man immediately flinched.

But he straightened his neck and said in a low voice:

"Anyway... the celestial being I met was quite nice to me."

As he spoke, he subtly touched his chest.

Something is hidden there.

Before leaving, the celestial being left him with the instruction that he should never tell anyone.

Therefore, even when the Federation later issued a nationwide notice to collect all remnants of evil spirits to prevent unnecessary trouble, he still did not hand them over...

No one noticed his subtle movements at that moment.

Everyone was looking at Zhang Hao.

Faced with his coworkers' questions, Zhang Hao was furious but unable to refute them, and could only fall silent with a complicated expression.

"Brother Hao!"

Someone chuckled and put their arm around Zhang Hao's shoulder, trying to smooth things over: "If Marshal Tiange is really your best buddy, could you give him a call and ask him to introduce a wife to each of us?"

"I'm not greedy, one is enough."

"Otherwise, my family is pressuring me so much, and I don't want the Liu family line to end with my generation!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd immediately erupted in a commotion.

"Yeah, send me a woman too! Preferably one with big breasts and a nice butt!"

"I'm going to take on ten!"

"Tch, look at your pathetic self. You already have a Heavenly Pavilion Marshal as a buddy, and you're still thinking about finding wives from your own clan?"

"Even if we did give you the money, could you afford the bride price?!"

"If you ask me... we should look for women from other races!"

"Before you guys came, there was a guy working here called Scarface Wang, whom we all called 'Turtle Knife' behind his back. He married into the Blood Cat Clan seven years ago without even paying a dowry!"

"Heh, I believe you didn't pay a bride price, but you're saying that seven years ago, the Blood Cat Clan hadn't submitted yet? That bastard would probably have had his heart and lungs ripped out by now!"

Everyone burst into laughter, and Zhang Hao forced a couple of laughs along.

late at night.

The recycling station became deserted.

Zhang Hao walked out of the simple dormitory alone.

There were no lights in the alley, only the colorful lights of the distant city illuminated half the sky.

He squatted in the corner and took out his phone.

The screen displays a string of numbers.

Five years later, he has never been able to dial that number.

My finger hovered over the dial key for a long time.

In the end, they took it back.

"Erdan is right."

He chuckled self-deprecatingly and sighed, "What is his status now? Marshal of the Heavenly Pavilion, Lord of the Origin Realm."

"He's already a very important person, someone who's reached the highest levels of society."

"What right do I have to call him brother..."

Zhang Hao shook his head, dispelling the unrealistic fantasy in his heart, and was about to go back to his dormitory to rest.

Just then, a figure suddenly slipped out of the barracks furtively.

Zhang Hao immediately put away his phone.

With the help of the light, he could see the other person's figure clearly.

It's Erdan.

Zhang Hao's heart skipped a beat.

Ever since those evil spirits left a few days ago, this kid has been frequently distracted, making mistakes at work, and constantly speaking well of those evil spirits.

He had a feeling that something was wrong.

Upon seeing the other person's furtive figure, he became curious and immediately followed him stealthily.

Outside the equipment recycling station, there was a wild forest, where Erdan's figure disappeared.

Zhang Hao chased him into the woods, but quickly lost sight of him.

He was secretly annoyed.

Suddenly, I saw a faint light shining in the woods.

When he got closer and saw what was in front of him, the hairs on his body stood on end.

But then, in a clearing deep in the woods, a faint light was on.

The surrounding area was littered with the corpses of stray cats and dogs!

Some of them were already rotten.

The stench was unbearable.

Erdan was kneeling in the middle of a pile of corpses.

On the ground was a sinister array drawn with the blood of those cats and dogs.

Three lit incense sticks were stuck in front of him, and his face was also covered with strange symbols drawn in blood.

He made hand seals and chanted incantations:

"...A stick of incense rises to the heavens..."

"...Now there is a disciple whose heart is sincere and whose intentions are pure..."

"...I humbly beseech the five directions, the holy spirits and all beings..."

"...I beseech the Heavenly Guardians to protect me..."

"...Secondly, please invite the Earthly Fiends to accompany us..."

"...Three times I invited the Five Directions Boys..."

"...The four gods manifested their power..."

"...I borrow your majesty to embolden myself, I borrow your wisdom to dispel my confusion..."

"...When success is achieved, one should retire; when the task is completed, one should depart. There is a clear path in coming, and a gentle breeze in leaving..."

"Hurry, hurry, as the law commands! By imperial decree!"

The incantation was finished.

Erdan's body suddenly began to tremble violently.

He suddenly raised his head, his neck bent at an eerie angle, his eyes rolled back, as if possessed by a ghost.

Zhang Hao was so frightened by this scene that he broke out in a cold sweat and his limbs went weak.

The next moment, he actually saw it!

A phantom figure descended from the sky and entered Erdan's body!

Erdan's body trembled violently.

When I turned back, my eyes had regained their clarity.

He flexed his wrists, and a series of crisp popping sounds emanated from his body.

His body suddenly grew several inches taller.

His demeanor and eyes were completely different from the original Erdan!

His eyes were sinister, and he muttered to himself:

"Damn those lower realm natives, what a load of rubbish, Lord of the Source Realm!"

"How dare they harm my own kinsmen! This debt cannot be left unpaid!"

"I will make you taste the pain of losing a loved one!"

Suddenly, he turned his head. "Huh? Who's there!"

Zhang Hao's mind went blank.

He got it.

Erdan was possessed by a demon from the upper realm.

and.

The other party also wants to harm Jiang Chuan's family!

He retreated in a panic, his hands trembling as he pulled out his phone to call Jiang Chuan.

The more anxious I was, the less my hands obeyed my commands.

I pressed the button several times, but I couldn't dial the number.

Behind them, the possessed "Erdan" had already caught up with them in a ghostly manner.

He watched Zhang Hao flee with a sinister smile on his face.

"Since you've ruined my plan..."

"Then I can't let you stay."

He raised his hand, and a beam of blood-red light appeared in his palm, aimed at Zhang Hao's back.

Just as they were about to take action.

Suddenly, he froze on the spot, as if time had stood still!

His expression instantly turned to utter terror, and his lips parted, trembling as he uttered two words:

"A real person..."

boom! !

He hadn't finished speaking.

His entire body exploded into a cloud of blood mist!
