Chapter 401: Chapter 229: Divine Realm

Translator: 549690339 |

The Twelfth Realm is also known as Demigod or Divine Realm.

It is the true peak existence in the cosmos.

As Principal Dongfang said, Jiang Ming understood the analogy. If the Eleventh Realm is considered a quasi-sage, then the Twelfth Realm is a sage.

Below sages are ants.

Below the Twelfth Realm are mortals.

They are too strong, with too terrifying destructive power. Once a great war breaks out, the destruction will be too massive. If they act recklessly, there will be no way for others to survive. Therefore, an ancient covenant was formed: ordinary wars must not be interfered with, and they cannot act casually.

Otherwise, they will be targeted by other powerful beings in the Twelfth Realm.

But when two forces are at war, the Twelfth Realm can passively defend the city they are stationed in.

Once a real battle occurs and the powerful beings of the Twelfth Realm have no choice but to step in, a Clan War will be initiated, which is also a part of the covenant.

“Once a Clan War begins, the two forces will fight to the death, and other forces cannot intervene,” Principal Dongfang explained in detail.

“Can the covenant really be that binding?” Jiang Ming questioned.

“It can be treated as waste paper or as an iron law!” Principal Dongfang laughed. “Once, a powerful being in the Twelfth Realm didn’t care. He had the Devouring Ability to plunder the origins of Ten Thousand Races for cultivation and self-improvement without any scruples. He was also confident that no one could do anything to him, but in the end, he was attacked by a group and fell.” “The covenant is like an excuse!” Jiang Ming’s eyes sparkled. “It gives others an excuse to unite together. At that level, it should be difficult for them to fight and determine a winner, let alone kill. But what if they are attacked by a group?”

“Correct!” Principal Dongfang praised, “Once a powerful being violates the agreement, the covenant will naturally bring other powerful beings together. After all, the death of a demigod can satisfy many powerful beings, even many forces.”

Jiang Ming nodded silently.

This was also the reason why Lu Jiuhuang and others dared to siege Sky Martial City because they didn’t fear Taixuan. If Taixuan were in Sky Martial City, they wouldn’t be able to conquer it, but they could restrain the Blue Star Humans’ masters, allowing another team to attack the Blue Star Ancestral Land.

The plan was not bad, but the Ten Thousand Races had already calculated everything to prevent this.

In terms of strategy, there are few who can match within the Ten Thousand Races.

Emperor Yang was also helpless and could only appear and initiate the Clan War.

After bidding farewell to the principal, Jiang Ming and two others arrived at Shi Lei’s residence.

The others had already gathered there.

Shi Lei, Luo Feng, Jun Qiuye, Luo Qingchen, and others stepped into the Ninth Realm while the rest were at the peak of the Eighth Realm.

The speed of their cultivation level improvement far exceeded ordinary people.

“Liu Ruyan was buried in the Death Forbidden Zone.” Jiang Ming recounted the past and finally said solemnly.

“God of Lost, Death Forbidden Zone!” Bai Bing’s eyes flickered with cold, murderous intent.

The others also had a gloomy expression.

After chatting for a while, everyone finally departed.

Returning to his residence, Jiang Ming sat on the sofa, sorted out past events, and finally focused on Emperor Yang and the others.

These people were too strong.

So strong that he felt a sense of despair.

“I can protect myself within the Eleventh Realm, but for the Twelfth Realm…” Jiang Ming shook his head, “My strength is still not enough. Otherwise, I could have exterminated the monsters, suppressed Golden, killed the God of Lost, and overturned the Death Forbidden Zone without so many troubles.”

The following day.

Jiang Ming contacted Principal Dongfang and went to him.

“It’s only been a day since we last met, and you’ve come to find me. Must be something important,” Principal Dongfang said kindly.

“Yeah. Principal, I have some valuable spoils of war. Where should I go to exchange them?” Jiang Ming asked.

“It’s right inside the academy!” Principal Dongfang said, “Sky Martial City is, after all, the front line. Even with Taixuan stationed here, it’s not safe. So we’ve placed our human treasury within the academy. With your combat power, you must have quite a few good things in your possession. Come, I’ll take you to the treasury to take a look.”

He was excited about it.

Jiang Ming immediately followed.

On the way, Principal Dongfang explained the rules for exchanging items – in short, if you handed over an item, it would be assessed and converted into military achievements, which you could then use to exchange for the items you wanted.

Military achievements are equivalent to Credit Points.

“Outside Sky Martial City, your battle achievements are astounding, having slain two emperors. I’ll give you a million military achievements for that, don’t think it’s too little,” Principal Dongfang said, “Our human population is quite large, so the rewards we give are inevitably smaller.”

It was a helpless situation.

The human higher-ups designed a relatively fair reward system. Relatively speaking, the weaker you are, the more support you would receive.

Once your cultivation level reached a certain level, you had to give back to the community. Only by doing so could a healthy cycle be formed.

The treasury was located within a spatial crevice, guarded by Heart Power, and required the Power of the World to open. Its defenses were extremely tight.

It was a great hall, with a large counter in the middle, a trays on the left for scanning and evaluating the value of items, and a display screen on the right for searching for items to exchange.

“You can take out anything you don’t need for appraisal. If you think it’s not suitable, you don’t have to exchange it for military achievements,” Principal Dongfang explained, “Of course, the items in the treasury all require military achievements to be exchanged.”

Jiang Ming had an idea and took out a Low-level Gene Potion, placing it on the tray.

A light immediately shone down and scanned it.

“Beep, beep, beep… Unidentified substance, estimated at one million military achievements based on the Power of Creation stored within, conjectured to have a gene sublimation effect.”

The electronic voice sounded immediately.

“Unidentified? Gene sublimation?” Principal Dongfang’s eyes lit up, “Jiang Ming, is this the reward from Death Forbidden Zone?”

“Yes!” Jiang Ming nodded, “This is a Low-level Gene Potion that can enhance our ordinary human genes to twice their level. Principal, have you not managed to develop gene potions with your abilities?”

In fact, he chose the Gene Potion with the intention of contributing it, thus adding to the strength of the community.

If they already had it, they could use it as a reference.

If they didn’t, then they could analyze it.

“We’ve never stopped researching genes, but alas, upgrading gene levels is a cosmic taboo and difficult to break. With our power, we can presently only optimize, strengthen, and revive inactive genes of our humans, but we cannot elevate the level,” Principal Dongfang explained excitedly, “It’s unexpected that there’s such a reward in the Death Forbidden Zone. With this specimen, we’ll have a chance to develop a real gene potion. A million military achievements are too few for an item that could elevate the entire community. I’ll give you two million.”

“Alright!” Not being modest, Jiang Ming took out the Intermediate Gene Potion, which could upgrade genes to five times the level.

“Fivefold?” Principal Dongfang took a breath, “I’ll give you ten million military achievements!”

“Isn’t that a bit too much?” Jiang Ming felt a little embarrassed.

“In terms of purely utilitarian value, it’s indeed too much. But in terms of potential value, it’s worth not only ten million but even a hundred billion,” Principal Dongfang was still excited, “Of course, I won’t give you that much, Jiang Ming. I hope you understand. If you need any help in cultivation in the future, both I and Taixuan will do our best to provide for you.”

Jiang Ming nodded.

As for being at a disadvantage?

He didn’t think so.

Without the community, he wouldn’t be where he is today.

Not to mention the many conveniences he could enjoy.

Afterward, Jiang Ming took out a World Stone, keeping the other one for himself.

He also took out the copied Domineering Boxing and Law of Heaven and Earth secret skills.

As for the spoils of war obtained from killing the Wolf Emperor and such, he had everything except a few useful items appraised as well.
