War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

A rudimentary Emperor of Gods killing an advanced Emperor of Gods was not only unprecedented in the Righteous Divine Kingdom, but it was also unprecedented in the Southern Heaven Kingdom.

Duan Ling Tian was the first rudimentary Emperor of Gods to achieve such a feat. Moreover, the incident was recorded through Floating Image Pearls and had spread to the capital of the Righteous Divine Kingdom.

"Amazing…"

Many mansion masters sighed in awe after watching the recording from a Floating Image Pearl in the spacious compound in the capital of the Righteous Divine Kingdom. As it turned out, it was true that a rudimentary Emperor of Gods had killed an advanced Emperor of Gods. Previously, they were still skeptical about the veracity of the news. After all, to them, the gap between a rudimentary and an advanced Emperor of Gods was too big. To them, it seemed impossible for a rudimentary Emperor of Gods to kill an advanced Emperor of Gods even if the former possessed a prominent divine artifact with a complete artifact soul and the latter did not. It was only when they watched the recording from the Floating Image Pearl that they realized the news was not exaggerated at all.

"He's too strong… Although he's just a rudimentary Emperor of Gods, his strength is terrifying…"

"Based on the combat power he's shown, even if Cheng Yan had used a prominent divine artifact with a complete artifact soul, he still wouldn't be a match for Duan Ling Tian, right?"

Since many of these people were not present during the competition to become the interim Mansion Master of the Divine Spirit Mansion, there were a few people who still had reservations about Duan Ling Tian's strength.

"That rudimentary Emperor of Gods just got lucky…"

"I agree… Otherwise, why did he only bring out his weapon at the end? It's likely that he was worried the advanced Emperor of Gods would also bring out his weapon, causing him to lose his advantage…"

…

Naturally, Duan Ling Tian was unaware of what the others were saying. Even if he was aware, he would not have paid any attention to them.

After arriving in the capital of the Righteous Divine Kingdom, Duan Ling Tian did not stay in his courtyard for long. The next morning, he left his courtyard to wander the bustling streets of the capital.

The streets of the capital were clean and strictly managed. Peddlers were not allowed to set up their stalls wherever they wanted, and they could only set up their stalls in certain areas.

Duan Ling Tian wandered the streets of the capital alone. Occasionally, when he saw a medicinal stall, he would have a look at the medicinal herbs, and if he saw something he needed, he would buy it. He was no longer interested in divine pills. After all, the divine pills that were useful to him now were rare divine pills, and it was impossible for them to be found in the shops and stalls here.

Duan Ling Tian only returned to the compound when night fell.

…

Duan Ling Tian did not leave again until Yun He came looking for him a few days later.

After greeting Duan Ling Tian, Yun He said, "Brother Ling Tian, the Lord has time today, and he wants to meet you."

Yun He was very careful with his words. Instead of saying that the Lord of the Righteous Divine Kingdom summoned Duan Ling Tian to see him, he said that the Lord of the Righteous Divine Kingdom wanted to meet Duan Ling Tian. The former words indicated that Duan Ling Tian was inferior to the Lord of the Righteous Divine Kingdom while the latter indicated that the Lord of the Righteous Divine Kingdom treated Duan Ling Tian as an equal.

Duan Ling Tian naturally noticed Yun He's words, but he did not know if this was Yun He's intention or the intention of the Lord of the Righteous Divine Kingdom.

…

After leading Duan Ling Tian out of the compound to the palace in the capital of the Righteous Divine Kingdom, many people would respectfully greet and bow to Yun He when they saw him.

"Vice Commander!"

"Greetings, Vice Commander!"

It was only then that Duan Ling Tian discovered that Yun He was the Vice Commander of the Imperial Army in the Righteous Divine Kingdom's imperial palace.

After entering the palace, Yun He led Duan Ling Tian to a magnificent hall. Two stone statues of different creatures stood at both sides of the entrance.

Duan Ling Tian did not recognize the two creatures, and they were clearly not human.

"Your Majesty, I've brought him here," Yun He said respectfully.

Following that, a burst of hearty laughter rang from the hall before a figure walked out of the hall.

The figure belonged to a young man dressed in a luxurious light golden robe. He was handsome and possessed a majestic bearing.

Yun He bowed and greeted, "Your Majesty."

Duan Ling Tian cupped his fists together at the young man and said, "Greetings, I'm Duan Ling Tian."

Duan Ling Tian did not expect the Lord of the Righteous Divine Kingdom to be so young.

The Lord of the Righteous Divine Kingdom cupped his fists at Duan Ling Tian as well and said with a smile, "Brother Ling Tian, there's no need to be so polite. Although I'm the Lord of the Righteous Divine Kingdom, I only got to where I am by relying on my father, Yu Yin. I can't compare myself to you at all. Brother Ling Tian, if you don't mind, you can address me as Brother Zhu…"

Duan Ling Tian knew that the member of the royal family in the Righteous Divine Kingdom bore the surname 'Zhu'. Since the other party had said so, he was no longer as polite and formal as before. He said with a smile, "Brother Zhu."

Zhu Ying Jun, the Lord of the Righteous Divine Kingdom, laughed when he heard Duan Ling Tian's words. His smile widened as he said, "Very good, very good."

Following that, Zhu Ying Jun personally led Duan Ling Tian into the hall.

There was no one else in the hall.

Yun He stood guard at the entrance of the hall. A hint of shock could be seen in his eyes at this moment. Although he knew that Zhu Ying Jun would be friendly to Duan Ling Tian, he did not expect Zhu Ying Jun to be so friendly to the extent that he asked Duan Ling Tian to address him as 'Brother Zhu'. He had been a subordinate of Zhu Ying Jun for many years, and this was the first time he had seen Zhu Ying Jun so friendly. He thought to himself, 'It seems like Brother Ling Tian holds a lot of value to His Majesty…'

It was not difficult to figure out that Zhu Ying Jun was so welcoming toward Duan Ling Tian because of Duan Ling Tian's value. It was definitely not because of Duan Ling Tian's current strength. Duan Ling Tian naturally knew this very well.

Hypothetically, if Duan Ling Tian broke through and became a Supreme God here, and he and Zhu Ying Jun encountered a rare treasure in a supreme-grade secret realm, he had no doubt that Zhu Ying Jun would kill him for the treasure if Zhu Ying Jun was confident about his strength.

The world in the Trial of Gods was even crueler than the real world. Duan Ling Tian knew this so he did not dare to be careless and always had his guard up.

At this time, Zhu Ying Jun sighed in awe and said, "Brother Ling Tian, this is the first time that I, Zhu Ying Jun, met a rudimentary Emperor of Gods who can kill an advanced Emperor of Gods…"

When Duan Ling Tian finally learned Zhu Ying Jun's name, the corners of his lips twitched slightly.

'Ying Jun' meant handsome. The name was rather narcissistic. Although Zhu Ying Jun was handsome, he was not as handsome as Duan Ling Tian.

"I was just lucky," Duan Ling Tian replied with a modest smile, "He didn't get a chance to use his prominent divine artifact with a complete artifact soul, after all. Otherwise, I might not be a match for him."

"Brother Ling Tian, you're too modest," Zhu Ying Jun said as he shook his head and smiled, "Although I only watched the fight through a Floating Image Pearl, I've heard about it from Vice Commander Yu who was present at that time. According to him, even if the other party used his prominent divine artifact, you'd still be able to defeat him."

Zhu Ying Jun trusted Yun He's words since Yun He had been working for him for a long time. Yun He was his bodyguard when he was young. As such, Yun He had been by his side for a very long time. Although he was Yun He's superior, in private, he treated Yun He like a brother.

When Duan Ling Tian heard Zhu Ying Jun's words, he shook his head and said, "Brother Yun He is too kind with his words…" After a moment, he called out, "Lord…"

Before Duan Ling Tian could continue to speak, Zhu Ying Jun interjected with a slight frown on his face, "Brother Ling Tian, I've already said that you don't need to address me as such…"

Duan Ling Tian quickly changed the form of address and said bluntly and solemnly, "Brother Zhu, I only became the interim Mansion Master of the Divine Spirit Mansion to participate in the Battle of the Divine Kingdoms in Destiny Canyon. After all, there are many fortuitous encounters there. I have no intention of becoming the official Mansion Master of the Divine Spirit Mansion. After the Battle of the Divine Kingdoms, I plan to resign from my position. After that, I'll likely leave the Righteous Divine Kingdom."

Duan Ling Tian paused for a moment before he continued to say, "In the future, if I still exist and I'm about to break through into the realm of a Supreme God, I promise to inform you and return to the Righteous Divine Kingdom. I'll break through in the Righteous Divine Kingdom."

If Duan Ling Tian was truly able to become a Supreme God in the Trial of Gods, he would definitely fulfill his promise. However, he did not think it was possible since he would have to leave in the Trial of Gods in two years. He did not think he was lying to Zhu Ying Jun as well. He had worded his words very carefully and added the words 'if I still exist'. Once he left the Trial of Gods, he naturally would no longer exist in this world.

Zhu Ying Jun naturally did not think too much of Duan Ling Tian's words. Not even in his wildest dreams would he be able to imagine that Duan Ling Tian was not from this world. If he had known Duan Ling Tian was not from this world, he would not have been in such a good mood now.

Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian's words, Zhu Ying Jun laughed and said happily, "Brother Ling Tian, you're truly an honest man. It's no wonder Vice Commander Yun only has high praises for you. I've heard about this matter from Vice Commander Yun, and I understand. Even if you wanted to stay, I would've persuaded you to leave the Righteous Divine Kingdom and seek fortuitous encounters outside. Although there's no shortage of resources in the kingdom, fortuitous encounters are limited… If it weren't for the fact that I'm bound to the Righteous Divine Kingdom, I would also leave to seek opportunities to increase my strength."

After saying that, Zhu Ying Jun sighed. Based on his attitude toward Duan Ling Tian, it was obvious that he was rather satisfied with Duan Ling Tian's honesty. The most important thing to him was that Duan Ling Tian promised to return and break through in the Righteous Divine Kingdom. The supreme-grade secret realm that Duan Ling Tian triggered after breaking through into the realm of a Supreme God was definitely going to be peerless. This was evident based on Duan Ling Tian's strength as a rudimentary Emperor of Gods.
