God's Kingdom.
Heavenly Dao Divine Palace.
Ninety-nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine levels.
With a thought from Hongmeng, the entire space seemed to transform into a small world. He sat upon the highest, most supreme throne. Below him, island-like pavilions appeared, on which were arranged Jadescent Nectar and various Spirit Fruits. Although his rebirth was not long ago, the treasures he had accumulated were not few, including countless Spiritual Fruit Immortal Brews. Especially since, in his God's Kingdom, there were several Supreme Innate Spiritual Roots. Under the nourishment of the Innate Spiritual Roots, all kinds of Spirit Fruit Divine Trees grew rapidly. Now in God's Kingdom, no kind of supplies were scarce; indeed, they were extremely abundant. It was a far cry from when he first crossed over, when he was penniless and empty-handed, with nothing at all.
In the middle of the island pavilions was a grand stage made of cloud and mist. Mist curled around, with Immortal energy wafting about. Strings of Heavenly Dao Laws fell like colorful rosy clouds. Marvelously beautiful, majestic in their splendor.
Almost all the Heroic Spirits arrived without much delay, quickly making their way to the Heavenly Dao Divine Palace. However, those who arrived early did not enter immediately but waited outside. A moment later, all the Heroic Spirits had arrived. They filed in according to their order of arrival, coming to the center of the cloud sea stage.
They knelt on the ground and said in unison, "We pay our respects to our God. May our God have endless life and the Path last forever."
Hongmeng sat upon the highest throne, surrounded by Dao Laws, overlooking those below. All the Heroic Spirits, along with some elite Angels such as Leng, Zhui, Zhi Xin, Mo Yi, Yitian, Ling Xi, Fanxing, and others, numbered almost a hundred. Basically, they stood together according to their own worlds or their small groups.
Nearly a hundred Heroic Spirits. Each one was a rarely-seen beauty.
Some with valiant elegance.
Some charmingly enchanting.
Some mature and dignified.
Some coolly noble.
Some pure and set apart.
Some bewitchingly voluptuous.
...
Every one of them had her own style. A myriad of charms. Not one was not beautiful.
"Rise," Hongmeng said, his gentle voice like a spring breeze and rain, an invisible force lifting them up.
"We thank our God," said the women, their eyes filled with excitement, agitation, fervor, and admiration.
"Today is just a simple banquet, primarily for entertainment. There's no need for everyone to be restrained. Later, if any of you has some talent, feel free to display it to your heart's content on the stage!" Hongmeng said.
"Yes, our God!"
The crowd's eyes were full of anticipation, itching to have a go. Many of them had only been summoned by Hongmeng once since they first came to God's Kingdom, so today was a rare opportunity to show their faces. If the Divine Spirit remembered them, in the future...
"Everyone, please take your seats," Hongmeng said.
"We thank our God," they responded.
With light taps of their toes, their figures like wind and willow, they each found their places to sit. The crowd had an unspoken understanding. The very front was occupied by four Divine King Level Heroes: Medusa, Yan Ruyu, Gu Xun'er, and Gu Yuena. After all, no matter where, strength is the most important. Right behind them were half-step Divine Kings and Heroes at the Peak of Lord God. The seats further back had only minor differences. Everyone took their seats according to their small groups, following the principle of proximity.
Before long, Medusa and Gu Xun'er stood up, swaying gracefully to the center of the cloud sea stage, and said with cupped hands, "Medusa and Gu Xun'er wish to offer a dance for our God."
"Good!" Hongmeng nodded slightly, looking at the two peerless beauties on the cloud sea stage.
Gu Xun'er wore a snow-white dress that floated delicately, accentuating her perfect body to a captivating effect. Amidst the divine radiance and celestial glow, she was like a pearl exhaling mist, ethereal and graceful, stunningly beautiful. Her figure was slender and soft, like finely carved immortal jade, with a cool and elegant demeanor and skin like snow, as if adorned with frost. Like a snow lotus high atop an ice peak, she stood alone, unsullied and graceful, so perfect as to defy any flaw. In her fair jade hand appeared a wholly green jade flute, presumably to accompany Medusa.
Medusa, with eyes like autumn waters and lips like cherry blossoms, revealed an undulating, captivating figure. Voluptuous, carrying a hint of seductiveness. She was like a blooming rose. She wore a gorgeous purple gauze dress: off-the-shoulder, waist-cinching, with a high slit. Her figure was sizzling, with a touch of nobility amidst the sexiness. Stunning enough to topple cities and kingdoms. Unparalleled in allure.
She and Gu Xun'er had contrasting temperaments. One voluptuous and bewitching, like a siren that ensnares. The other pure and detached, as if an immortal from the heavens. Their contrasting combination brought a different kind of charm. Seeing the two of them, not just Hongmeng, but even the originally confident sisters Lady Xiang and Empress E felt awestruck, a sense of inferiority washing over them.
"Keep a good mindset. Sisters Medusa and Xun'er come from a higher realm, favored by destiny as the daughters of fate, and now they are even Divine King Level powerhouses, with overwhelming presence and a natural sense of the Path. But we are not far behind," Empress Yan Ji Rufeiyan said perceptively, offering consolation through her message.
"Yes, we know, don't worry," they responded.
As Empress Yan and the Lady Xiang sisters exchanged messages telepathically, Gu Xun'er and Medusa had already begun their dance. The divine music echoed melodiously, soft and lingering, captivating the audience as if it were celestial music from the nine heavens, moving the spirit, cleansing the soul. The strings and bamboo sounded together, and the singing was enchanting, swirling beneath the stars, touching everyone's hearts. Medusa's gown danced in the air, her slender waist twisting, as if she were a beautiful serpent.
Both being Divine Kings, their dance to the immortal music stirred the Dao Laws of heaven and earth, creating a series of melodies of the Path and a display of wondrous phenomena. A massive bright moon slowly rose, casting their reflections within it. The radiant Divine Moon illuminated the surroundings, making Gu Xun'er appear incredibly holy, like an Immortal from Guanghan Palace descending to the world. Beneath her feet, blue lotuses bloomed one after another, with a rain of flowers drifting down from the sky. Medusa, with her icy skin and jade bones, danced within the Divine Moon's light, graceful and captivating, as if the Nine Heavenly Empress had descended to the mortal realm.
Dancing with the celestial winds.
A beauty unparalleled in this generation.
Within the radiant Divine Moon, it seemed as if a blue lotus broke through the soil, swaying with life, while a Divine python spiraled upwards, swallowing the sky in one gulp.
All unconsciously immersed themselves, intoxicated, and many even had epiphanies, sensing a subtle loosening in the bottlenecks of their Cultivation Levels.
The music ceased, the dance halted, and the singing faded, leaving the world in silence. It was a long while before many awoke as if from a dream, and all were stunned into silence.
CLAP. CLAP. CLAP.
Hongmeng clapped his hands, in high spirits. Although the dance performance of Medusa and Gu Xun'er was not yet sublime, their Cultivation Levels and beauty set them apart, ensuring it was by no means lacking.
"Not bad, Gu Xun'er, Medusa, each of you will be rewarded with a Spiritual Treasure and one hundred billion Divine Crystals," Hongmeng commended.
He had many treasures at hand. But...
Without virtue, an official position is insufficient to encourage the virtuous. Without merit, rewards are insufficient to encourage the meritorious. Therefore, Hongmeng, even with an abundance of treasures and an inexhaustible supply of Divine Crystals, would not award them without reason.
Of course, they were Hongmeng's most loyal servants, and he was not stingy in cultivating them. It was necessary not to reward without merit, but there were plenty of opportunities to reward them in various ways. The simplest one was to favor them once, which could earn them a substantial reward.
"We thank you for your divine grace." Gratefully receiving the rewards, Gu Xun'er and Medusa respectfully retired.
With their performance as the opening act, the atmosphere suddenly livened up.
Yan Ruyu and Gu Yuena took to the stage, performing a dance. When Divine King Level Heroes danced, even if their skills weren't exceptionally high, it was still a visionary feast, with faint melodies of the Path surrounding them, an overwhelming beauty. Hongmeng couldn't stop expressing his admiration. Everyone who took to the stage received a reward.
Kasha, Hexi, and Angel Yan presented their angelic sword dance. Amidst the dance of the blades, sandstorms raged, and Sword Qi crisscrossed the air, evoking scenes of tumultuous battles in desert wastelands, filled with haunting echoes of warfare.
Tushan Honghong and Tushan Yaya also danced. Elegant and ethereal, naturally enchanting, their movements conjured the images of a red and a white Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox, their fluffy tails soaring to the heavens, exuding a captivating aura.
A single glance, a soul-stealing charm.
Every gesture, enticingly natural.
Hongmeng nodded secretly to himself. It seemed he should host more of these events in the future. It would be a delight to his eyes and would also increase the vitality of the Heroic Spirits of God's Kingdom.
One after another, the heroes below took their turns.
"The wind and clouds of the world rise from us; once we enter the fray, the years hasten by."
"Talking and laughing over grand ambitions, life's victory is but a drunken haze."
"With a sword in hand and ride at the ready, we command the ghostly rain, and the bones pile high as frightened birds take flight."
"Mortal struggles surge like tides, and people flow like water, only to lament how few return from the martial world."
DongFang Bai, in a red dress, danced with a captivating and domineering grace. Ren Yingying, with her rendition of the heroic world, stirred deep emotions. She depicted a martial world of sword shadows and bloody storms.
Nongyu performed "Bird's Song of the Empty Mountains," where myriad birds paid homage to the phoenix.
Yan Lingji danced devastatingly, embodying what it meant to be as gentle as water and as passionate as fire.
Zinu, bewitching.
Mingzhu, alluring.
Red Lotus, pure.
Empress E, Bailu Qishuang, her benevolence like water.
Empress Yan and Moon Goddess, sun and moon shining together.
Mingyue and Luo Xian.
Dragon Hollyhock and Purple Xuan.
The Ice and Snow Empresses.
Ah Yin and Xiao Wu.
...
So many captivating beauties, compelling countless heroes to bow in admiration.
Hongmeng sighed in his heart, This decadent life of a Divine Spirit is truly... truly... too awesome! I love it!
「...」
「Martial Universe World. Outside Flame City.」
A red light pierced the sky, drawing upon the Heavenly and Earthly Power. Such a momentum was truly fearsome.
Within and beyond the city walls, countless Martial Artists looked up in shock.
SCREECH!
Under the curious gaze of many, the red light approached at an incredibly fast speed. As it drew near, onlookers were surprised to find that the red shadow was in fact a majestic crimson eagle, radiating a divine presence. The eagle was swift, flapping its wings only a few times before bringing the sound of thunder to the skies above.
As the massive eagle slowed down, everyone's gaze instinctively focused on the creature. There stood a young man in green, hands behind his back, his long hair fluttering in the gentle breeze, giving him an exceptionally carefree air. Such a demeanor earned the admiration of many onlookers.
On the back of the eagle, the young man in green looked down, his calm gaze sweeping over Flame City below, his eyes reflecting a touch of complexity. A Fated Archvillain, am I? Seems not too bad! I wonder if Lin Dong is still in Flame City!
The young man in green murmured to himself, and a panel that only he could see appeared before him:
Fighting Fate System:
Host: Lin Langtian
Cultivation Level: Minor Achievement in the Gaseous Realm
Villain Points: 0
Martial Arts: Shattered Sky Demon Monument Palm, Great Heavenly Phoenix Seal...
Treasures: Spiritual Wheel Mirror...
But even if he's not in Flame City, it doesn't matter. Xuan Su, the general manager of the Ten Thousand Gold Chamber of Commerce, has a good relationship with him. Targeting her could also earn me a good number of Villain Points...
Lin Langtian's eyes sparkled. Xuan Su is a siren nearly on par with Ya Fei.
Although I wasn't transported to the Doupo World, the Martial Universe World isn't bad either. In the future, once I have enough Villain Points, I can travel to the Doupo World and even to the Myriad of Realms.
