High Martial Arts Era

Chapter 570: Lord of the Ancient Domain (6K)

The purple giant beast carried Li Yuan to fly at dozens of times the speed of light. It took a long time before they flew out of the vast continent.

follow closely.

Accompanied by a space fluctuation, the purple giant beast and Li Yuan disappeared into the starry sky at the same time.

hum~
When Li Yuan saw the surrounding scene clearly again, he found himself in a magnificent palace.

"Here?" Li Yuan was puzzled.

"A hall in the Hundred Clans Holy Temple." The purple giant beast said: "Just now we flew out of the Domination Hall, and I used the Void Teleport to arrive here."

"All the gods of the hundreds of races have gone out to hunt down that foreign god. I have sent a message to them, asking them to come back as soon as possible."

"We will go meet them after all the gods from all races have arrived."

Li Yuan was listening. When he got the six heavenly god puppets before, they mentioned the Temple of a Hundred Clans.

"The Holy Temple of the Hundred Clans."

"It is not only the holy land of the Hundred Clans in the Ancient Domain, but also the core of the Ancient Universe." The purple giant beast said: "You are now the leader of the Hundred Clans, so you will naturally be the master of the Hundred Clans Holy Temple. At the same time, you must also have the confidence to make the gods of the Hundred Clans willingly submit to you."

"What's the confidence to surrender willingly?" Li Yuan wondered.

"Just look." The purple giant pointed into the void.

wow~
In this vast palace, the sound of gurgling water suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and soon a river emitting colorful rays of light appeared in the palace. The river was full of dreamy colors, and it emitted a vast and grand wave.

The river covered the vast hall in an instant, completely enveloping Li Yuan and the purple beast.

"What is this?" Li Yuan was shocked. His realm was now very high and he could feel the specialness of this river.

It is vast and contains a special power...

"It's the power of time." Li Yuan confirmed it instantly. This was very similar to the strange power in the Time Cave.

But at this moment, the power contained in this river is much more vast and powerful.

"Holy Spirit, what is this?" Li Yuan couldn't help but ask.

"The long river of time." The purple beast whispered.

Li Yuan was confused. The long river of time?

His soul will was as strong as that of a god, so he could sense the existence of the long river of time in the divine realm... but he had not yet mastered a complete law, so his consciousness could not fully enter into it.

Only by thoroughly understanding a law and seeing through the origin of the law can consciousness truly enter.

"This is the manifestation of the 'River of Time' in the ancient universe." said the purple giant beast.

"Ancient Universe?" Li Yuan was stunned at first, then he realized, "Could it be that every universe has a long river of time?"

"Yes! And no." said the purple beast.

Li Yuan looked puzzled.

"In the vast and endless universe, there is a most enormous river of time that runs through the entire universe and permeates every corner of the universe. All life is shrouded by it. Even a powerful being like the God Emperor is within the range of this river of time. This river of time is immortal. It has always been there since endless years... Therefore, it is called the 'Eternal River'." The purple giant beast explained to you: "However, only the God Emperor can sense the existence of the Eternal River."

Li Yuan was shocked.

The eternal river?

"The Eternal River has penetrated into countless universes and even the dark areas of the universe... forming a large number of branching rivers." The purple giant beast said: "These branching rivers are what we commonly call the 'River of Time'."

"In other words, whether it is the long river of time in the ancient universe or the long river of time in the heart dream universe, they are all branches of the long river of eternity?" Li Yuan thought thoughtfully.

"Ah."

"The long river of time is part of the origin of the universe." The purple giant beast said: "What you need to do now is to leave your life mark in this long river of time and initially recognize its master."

"Recognize the master?" Li Yuan was stunned.

Can we still control the long river of time?

The purple giant beast seemed to see his doubts and said, "A normal universe's long river of time is extremely vast. Even a powerful god emperor cannot fully sense it, let alone control it... But there are big and small rivers of time. The 'long river of time' in the ancient universe is essentially a section that the master cut from the dream universe."

“The equivalent of a branch of a branch.”

"The connection with the Eternal River is extremely weak. It is more like a magic weapon."

“So it can be controlled.”

"Besides, right now, I'm only letting you recognize the master initially." The purple giant beast said in a low voice: "You are still a long way from completely controlling and carrying it... Even if you reach the top of Purple Mountain, you can only start to control it."

Until this moment.

Li Yuan was shocked, and finally understood why the test of Dominating the Hall was so difficult.

It turned out that one was actually trying to control a long river of time. Even if it was only a miniature universe, it was still somewhat incredible.

"Holy Spirit, what should I do?" Li Yuan said.

"Be calm and feel the fluctuations of the long river of time." The purple giant beast said: "Let go of your spiritual world and feel the existence of the long river of time."

Li Yuan did as he was told immediately.

hum~
The soul aura spread, and Li Yuan's spiritual world was completely opened, sensing the surging river around him... the next moment.

Boom! In Li Yuan's spiritual world, the long-silent 'Soul Palace' suddenly burst into brilliant light, and the rays of light faintly merged with the origin of Li Yuan's soul.

It should be noted that since the five spiritual guidances, the Mind Palace has provided very little help to Li Yuan.

But today, it showed its edge again.

Hula~The long river of time seemed to be affected by the special induction of the Mind Palace and instantly began to boil.

"What is that?" Under the guidance of the Mind Palace, Li Yuan's consciousness crossed time and space and finally sensed the deep fluctuations in the long river of time.

A vast, endless river.

It was so vast and powerful that there was no way to sense its limit… It surged and rushed, instantly seeping from this palace hall to the endless, dark and vast starry sky, which was all covered by the ancient universe.

"The ancient universe is vast and boundless."

"There are countless lives." Li Yuan vaguely sensed the overall picture of the entire ancient universe through the long river of time.

Vast and vast... Even if it is a microcosm, it is still a universe, far beyond a star field.

The long river of time covers everything, yet it cannot be touched by normal space... The two seem to be two parallel spaces, never intersecting but influencing each other.

And all life in the ancient universe has left traces in the long river of time.

"The erosion of the river water is affected by time." Li Yuan thought thoughtfully: "Every time it erodes, life will become weaker... until it dies completely and falls."

"And the stronger you are, the less you will be affected by the power of time and shadow."

"Those exceptionally large figures should be the gods of the ancient universe." Li Yuan vaguely sensed that there were more than a hundred huge figures scattered in this vast river.

The marks left on their bodies by the impact of the river water were very shallow, and it would probably take hundreds of thousands of years for them to sink.

They are all gods.

"There is another figure." Li Yuan peeked at the top of this long river of time. There seemed to be a small boat with a purple figure standing on it. His aura was extremely vast.

It was not baptized by the river water at all.

"It's the Holy Spirit." Li Yuan confirmed the other party's breath.

hum~
While Li Yuan was sensing the entire river of time, the Mind Palace had quietly established a vague connection with it... The aura of Li Yuan's real body also became mysterious.

……

Crash~ The long river of time that appeared from the extremely deep level of time and space quickly dissipated.

Everything in the hall returned to normal.

After a while, Li Yuan finally regained consciousness. There was a hint of surprise in his eyes: "This?"

"Sensed it?" asked the purple beast.

Li Yuan nodded slightly. Now, if he slightly activated his spiritual world, he could sense a vast river of time... The many mysteries of the river were also flowing in Li Yuan's heart.

"But it's just a sense, it's not possible to control the river of time." Li Yuan added.

"It's extremely difficult to sense the whole picture, and you want to control it now?" The purple beast laughed: "Under normal circumstances, let alone your strength is only comparable to that of a god, even a great god like the Emperor would find it extremely difficult to control the Ancient Universe. This is a long river of time."

"You were able to initially recognize your master because the Mind Palace... It is a medium that allows the origin of the Ancient Universe to not reject you, but even to tolerate and protect you." The purple giant beast told the truth: "It is precisely because of this that over the long years, only candidates can try to rule the Ancient Universe."

Li Yuan held his breath.

Senior Meng said that the Mind Palace is extremely magical, and it takes a long time for a bearer to be born... It turns out that in addition to the five spiritual guidances, there is such a secret hidden behind it.

"The Mind Palace comes from the Eternal Palace?"

"The Mind Palace is connected to the Ancient Universe, so what is the relationship between the Ancient Universe and the Eternal Palace?" Many thoughts flashed through Li Yuan's mind.

He could never forget the scenes he saw when his consciousness descended into that mysterious place during the five spiritual guidances.

"at the moment."

"You have imprinted the initial mark of life through the Mind Palace, which also has two major effects. One is to cover up your own soul aura." The purple giant beast said: "The trace of aura left on you by the long river of time can make you better disguise as a god. Even the God Emperor will find it difficult to see through it."

Li Yuan's mind moved, and his aura instantly became dark and unpredictable.

The biggest difference between true God and heavenly God is not the strength of their life breath.

Rather, it is because of the understanding of the great truth that one's consciousness enters the long river of time, which then causes the soul to undergo special changes.

Now, although Li Yuan has not become a god yet, he also has this aura.

“In this way, even if you show your strength casually, the outside world will only think that you are a god.” said the purple giant beast.

Li Yuan was delighted, this effect was indeed extremely important.

“The second effect is to make the life forms of the Ancient Universe want to submit.” The purple giant beast said, “Of course, this is limited to those below the Divine King… If the Ancient Universe’s Heavenly God breaks through to become a Divine King and controls the complete laws of space, then he will have reached the limit of being bound by the River of Time. Before you completely control the Ancient Universe, I will not be afraid.”

Obviously, there is an essential difference between gods and god kings.

"Among the contemporary gods in the ancient universe, are there any who have comprehended the laws close to the twelfth level?" Li Yuan asked curiously.

The purple giant smiled and said, "That's not the case. The strongest among the current generation are only three third-level gods."

……

In the main hall of the Hundred Clans Holy Temple, more than a hundred gods have gathered here.

The golden throne and black throne that were previously placed in this temple have been put away, and all the gods are standing.

All the gods had shock and confusion written all over their faces, and they were all communicating with each other through telepathy.

"Xuan Yang, Wu, do you know who is the successor of the Lord?" The iceberg-like 'Ice and Dark God' asked in a voice transmission.

“I don’t know. Maybe it’s a true god of our world who passed the test of the Lord’s Palace? Got the recognition of the Lord?” The God of Mist was dressed in a gray robe. He was very inconspicuous in the past, and now he is even more low-key.

The Dominion Hall is divided into two parts.

One part is aimed at Li Yuan, and the other part is the precious land of opportunity for life left by the "Xinmeng God Emperor" to hundreds of races, which is of course full of dangers.

Xuanyang God and Bingming God looked at each other. Wu God had broken through the Lord's Palace when he was in the True God realm and came back alive, so his words were highly credible.

"Humph!"

"Who cares who he is?" Xuanyang God snorted coldly: "Although the Holy Spirit approves, who knows if it's true or not? This is our world. If the Holy Spirit wants us to bow down by force, it's a dream."

"I don't want to be a servant either." The Ice and Dark God also nodded heavily.

For a long time, they have been the leaders of this world. How could they be willing to be inferior to others?
Only the God of Mist remained silent.

“Wu, do you want to surrender?” God Xuanyang looked at God Wu.

The God of Mist was very calm, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Here it comes."

Many gods also saw it.

hum~
I saw a mysterious wave descending, followed by a ray of light shining from outside the temple into the high platform at the end of the temple. Then, a silver-robed figure exuding a vast aura slowly appeared on the platform.

His aura was so powerful that it surpassed that of any god present.

His aura was even more mysterious, and vaguely, as if he was the incarnation of the vast universe, causing many gods present to instinctively feel a desire to submit.

"Is this the heir of the Lord?"

"What a powerful breath."

"Why do I feel as if the heaven and earth are unshakable?" Most of the gods murmured secretly, and their original unconvinced thoughts disappeared invisibly.

Somehow, it seemed as if the silver-robed figure was their leader.

"he?"

"Is it the outsider true god we met before? His life force is so strong."

"He has changed completely. I almost couldn't recognize him. Could he be Cheng Tianshen?" More than 30 gods who had fought with Xuanyang Tianshen and Li Yuan before were a little confused at this moment.

Although Li Yuan's life breath has changed greatly, his soul breath remains unchanged.

They were rivals and enemies before, but after only a few years, the other party suddenly became the successor of the master?

"All gods, listen to my orders." A low and cold voice suddenly sounded in the temple.

It also echoed in the hearts of the gods present, causing them to feel nervous.

"God Li Yuan, after going through many hardships, finally became the successor of the Lord." The deep voice continued.

The Holy Spirit only revealed its voice and consciousness in front of the hundreds of tribes in the ancient domain, and its true body has never appeared.

Therefore, even those gods who had fought with Li Yuan were not aware that the purple giant beast was the Holy Spirit.

"According to the Lord's order, from today on, Li Yuan Tianshen will be the leader of all the tribes in our ancient domain." The Holy Spirit said indifferently: "Why don't you pay homage to the Lord of the Domain?"

Many gods were a little hesitant, and they subconsciously looked at the three great gods.

The God of Mist remained silent, but there was a trace of struggle on the face of the God of Ice and Darkness.

puff~
Xuan Yang, the god who had vowed not to submit, suddenly knelt on one knee, and with a hint of excitement in his voice, he said respectfully: "Xuan Yang, I pay my respects to the domain master."

The group of gods were even more confused, and the God of Ice and Darkness was also stunned.

That’s not what Xuan Yang said just now.

Only the God of Mist had an expression of 'I knew you', and then he no longer hesitated and knelt on one knee: "Mist, meet the Domain Lord!"

Hualala~ Seeing this, the other gods no longer insisted and knelt down to pay their respects: "Greetings to the Domain Lord."

The God of Ice and Darkness gritted his teeth and knelt down to salute.

"Everyone, please stand up." Li Yuan's voice was powerful and moving. Looking at the 133 gods below, he felt a little emotional.

Looking across the divine realm, there are only a few who can command so many gods to submit and follow them, except for the God King.

"It was only by luck that I became the successor of the Lord." Li Yuan said, "In terms of years of cultivation, you are all much older than me. I am afraid that I will have to rely on you for many things in the future."

"You are joking, Territory Lord." The Xuanyang Celestial God in golden armor smiled brightly, "When Territory Lord was in the True God realm, his strength was already that strong. Now that he has achieved the status of Celestial God, I'm afraid he has far surpassed us."

"Yes." God of Mist also smiled and said, "It is our honor to follow the Territory Lord."

They were willing to surrender so quickly, which at least showed their respect on the surface.

In addition to the words of the Holy Spirit, the most important thing was the mysterious aura emanating from Li Yuan, which made them instinctively willing to submit.

Then there is the powerful strength that Li Yuan once demonstrated.

"Xuan Yang God, Wu God, Bing Ming God." Li Yuan glanced at the three people and smiled, "I heard from the Holy Spirit that the three of you should be the three leaders of the ancient domain's hundreds of tribes."

"We dare not." The three of them said respectfully.

"You are still the leaders of the hundreds of tribes in the ancient domain, and your status is only lower than mine." Li Yuan said.

"Yes." The three gods finally breathed a sigh of relief. What they feared most was that Li Yuan would come up and purge the three of them in order to consolidate his power.

But how could they know.

From the beginning to the end, Li Yuan didn't take them seriously at all, nor would he regard them as opponents. Power? Li Yuan knew very well that in this vast universe, personal strength was of vital importance.

Someone as powerful as the God Emperor can establish a divine court by himself.

Why don't the God Emperors care about the trivial matters in their God Courts? Because they are not important.

As long as the God Emperors are alive, the territory will naturally be stable... If the God Emperors die, no matter how well the territory is managed, it will be of little use.

What Li Yuan is pursuing now is to become a God Emperor, and become a great being like Hongying God Emperor who is known as the 'Supreme God Emperor'.

Even...the legendary eternal realm!

The eternal realm is the highest pursuit, the supreme God Emperor is the practical goal, and the achievement of God King is the goal... He has lofty ambitions, but is also down-to-earth.

"In addition, some rules and order in the ancient domain remain the same." Li Yuan said, "But in the future, I will arrange for some outsiders to enter the ancient domain world, and they will only be semi-gods and virtual gods. You can take care of them."

According to Li Yuan’s plan, some young talents of the Seven Star Civilization will also have an additional trial site in the future.

After all, it is not very convenient for the strong men of the Seven Star Civilization to practice in the trials in the divine realm ahead.

The ancient domain's 'land of multiplication of hundreds of races' has a territory of more than thirty star fields. For a demigod or virtual god, it is already extremely vast and is more than enough for them to explore.

"Yes." Xuanyang Tianshen and the others agreed readily.

Demigods? Virtual gods? Even if there were tens of thousands of them, it would have no impact on the ancient world.

In fact, although the gods present seemed to be in harmony, they all ruled over vast territories in the ancient domain and ordered their powerful men to attack and fight each other. This was to consume excess population and to hone out powerful gods.

"Another thing."

"You should know that I am from the outside world. I will not stay in the ancient domain for long and will leave soon." Li Yuan said: "The outside world is extremely vast. I also have subordinate forces, but also enemies. Are you willing to follow me to the outside world?"

"In the war outside, I will help you wherever I can... but there are many risks."

"This is the relevant information." Li Yuan waved his hand, and suddenly invisible waves spread out, and a large amount of information poured into the minds of these gods.

time flies.

These gods immediately gained a more detailed understanding of the outside world. The vast and boundless divine realm, the wars among the various divine courts... all made them shocked and impressed.

"So, the Territory Lord is a member of the Chaos Divine Court, the largest force in the outer divine realm. If we go to the outer divine realm, we also have to join the Chaos Divine Court?"

"There are so many God Kings in the outside world? There are even more Heavenly Gods."

“This is the world of the strong.”

“With our strength, we can only barely be considered as entering the realm of super powers in the divine realm.” Many gods communicated with each other, with endless reverie in their hearts.

In the past, they only knew that the outside world was vast, but they didn't expect it to be so vast.

"You have read the information. It is up to you to decide whether to go or not," said Li Yuan.

Although these gods would follow if forced, deep down, Li Yuan was unwilling to force them.

Li Yuan has his own code of conduct.

"I am willing to follow the domain lord and conquer the divine realm." Xuanyang God was the first to speak.

"I would like that too."

"I am willing."

...In the end, ninety-three gods were willing to follow Li Yuan to the outside world, including the two leaders Xuanyang God and Bingming God.

Obviously, the outside world is vast and full of opportunities, but it is also full of dangers, which makes many gods fearful.

If they stayed in the ancient universe, there would be no danger to their lives.

"it is good!"

"You guys continue to stay in the ancient domain for now and make preparations. When I need you to go to the divine domain, I will tell the Holy Spirit." Li Yuan said.

The gods cannot enter the mortal realm. This is the rule of operation between heaven and earth. Even if the ancient realm is already in the Beiqiu mortal realm, it is difficult to violate this rule... These gods from the ancient realm cannot enter the Beiqiu mortal realm from the ancient realm.

Only when necessary, let the Holy Spirit teleport them directly to the Divine Realm... and then Li Yuan will pick them up from the Divine Realm.

"In addition, I must emphasize to you." Li Yuan's voice suddenly became solemn and said: "If you are willing to stay in the ancient world, I will not force you to do anything... But after arriving in the divine realm, you must obey my orders."

"If you dare to disobey, don't blame me for being ruthless." Li Yuan's voice was cold and he exuded a murderous aura.

The ninety-three gods were all shocked and said respectfully, "Yes."
