The Spirit Mountain Island Lord of Heavenly Court, the Babel Tower Lord of the Star Alliance, the Nine Solitude Ruler of the Nine Dragons Celestial Palace, and Jiang Taichu of the Ancient Jiang Clan all came forward to praise Qin Xiao and express their gratitude. After all, they'd all invited Qin Xiao to their Holy Lands and treated Qin Xiao as a guest of honor.
Let alone a fourth-step Celestial God, even an almighty being invited by another Sacred Ground was a supreme honor.
Most of the Heaven Roll Almighties had never enjoyed such an honor before.
Only the top ten on the Heaven Rankings, like Tian Lingzi and the Lord Huayang, were able to enjoy such glory.
But now, Qin Xiao had received an invitation from a Holy Land as well, and all four of them at that. It would be difficult to find a second person in the God Realm to receive such an honor.
Qin Xiao naturally accepted each and every one of the four Holy Lands' invitations.
Of course, Qin Xiao had no plans to pay them a visit in the near future. Most of the time, such an invitation was still a matter of etiquette.
However, Qin Xiao's relationship with the Holy Lands was certainly good.
It wasn't just the Holy Lands' rulers. The Four Holy Lands' experts were also very grateful to Qin Xiao, especially those who'd been saved by Qin Xiao. They owed him a debt of gratitude.
Such a favor was enough for them to view Qin Xiao as a friend.
After bidding farewell to everyone, the Barren Sword Ruler led Qin Xiao and the others back to the Desolate Land's Shrine.
It would take three thousand years for them to return. After a hundred thousand years of toil from the mother egg, everyone needed a good rest. Everyone drank together and spoke freely. They were all in a very good mood.
After all, the Temple of Desolation had reaped the greatest harvest this time. According to the final tally, the Temple of Desolation had harvested nearly two hundred billion Source Crystals, which was nearly double the expected one hundred billion. Moreover, the hundred billion they'd expected was only the most ideal. In truth, the Shrine of the Desolate Land's true goal was fifty billion.
This time, they'd exceeded the quota by several times. With careful planning, such an amount of origin crystals could ensure the prosperity of the Shrine of the Desolate Land for more than a trillion years.
This would be the foundation of the Desolate Land's Shrine.
The other four Holy Lands had also reaped a good harvest. The Three Realms were the unluckiest this time. They'd suffered a double loss. Not only had they failed to obtain any origin crystals, but they'd also lost the lives of many experts.
Qin Xiao's status in the Desolate Land's Temple was on the same level as Lord Huayang, the Flame Emperor, and the Ninth Floor. The God Realm's Palace's Glory's Palace's Glory's Palace was Glory's God Palace in the Desolate Land's's Palace's strength's.
Of course, for Qin Xiao, the biggest gain from this trip to the Mother Planet was that his strength had greatly improved.
Qin Xiao didn't care about other things. What he cared about the most was his strength.
His illusory techniques had been cultivated from nothing to the seventh level, surpassing the limits of the Hong Meng Universe. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that Qin Xiao was now the number one illusory master in the Hong Meng Universe. Even the Rulers who were good at illusory techniques couldn't compare to Qin Xiao in terms of illusory techniques.
What Qin Xiao lacked now was his own level. After all, he was only a fourth-step Heavenly God. He wasn't even a Great Being yet.
His level was Qin Xiao's biggest shortcoming.
However, illusory techniques were only an unorthodox technique for Qin Xiao. They were supplementary techniques that didn't have much of an effect on his cultivation of the Great Path.
Therefore, Qin Xiao still hoped to improve his cultivation of the Great Path, his Heart Energy, and his True Meaning of Power.
These three paths of cultivation were the true Great Path. They were the cornerstones that would allow Qin Xiao to become a Ruler or even a Universe Master.
So what if his illusory techniques were powerful? They were only a means in the end. Even if Qin Xiao cultivated his illusory techniques to the eighth or even the ninth level, he wouldn't be able to improve his level.
The level was the foundation.
If he couldn't improve his level, no matter how heaven-defying his techniques were, they would be in vain.
Take Tian Lingzi and Lord Huayang for example. Their techniques were indeed heaven-defying and had reached an unbelievable level.
However, their cultivation had been stuck at the fourth step of the Heavenly Deity Stage, which severely restricted them.
Although their status was incomparably high, they couldn't reach the Ruler level. This was the shortcoming of their level. It was an insurmountable red line.
Qin Xiao had heard from his teacher about the importance of the level. The level was everything.
No matter how many techniques one pursued, if one couldn't improve his level, it would be useless.
Barren Sword Emperor called Qin Xiao aside and said, "Qin Xiao, did a Universe Master come looking for you?"
Qin Xiao wasn't surprised by Barren Sword Emperor's question. This kind of thing was indeed easy to predict.
Qin Xiao didn't have anything to hide in front of Barren Sword Emperor. He nodded and said, "Yes, Barren Sword Emperor. A self-proclaimed Machine Master came looking for me in my dream and threw out tempting conditions. He wanted me to betray him and turn to his side. He said he would make sure I became a Universe Master."
Barren Sword Emperor said, "Machine Master's method of entering dreams is unparalleled in the world. It's his specialty. However, these are just small tricks. Those who aren't of our race are bound to have different intentions. Fortunately, you didn't believe Machine Master's words. However, I'm very confident in you. You won't betray your race. "
Qin Xiao nodded and said, "By the way, Barren Sword Emperor, Machine Master told me that no matter how heaven-defying my talent is, no one can become a Universe Master. Is that true?"
In fact, Qin Xiao believed this saying. However, it was only Machine Master's words. Qin Xiao believed it, but he didn't dare to believe it completely. Or rather, he was still a little unwilling to accept it and wanted to ask Barren Sword Emperor for his opinion.
The Barren Sword Dominator's brows furrowed slightly, and his expression became somewhat grave. He looked at Qin Xiao and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Although the Machine Lord isn't entirely correct, it's basically the same. In reality, that is indeed the case. Since the Machine Lord has told you all this, you should now know about the universe epochs. Our Hong Meng Universe is now in the eighth epoch. In another epoch, we will reach the limits of the universe. "
"Nine by nine return to one. After the ninth era is destroyed, everything will cease to exist and return to nothingness. Therefore, the further we go, the lower the probability of becoming a Universe Master.
Of course, that's only the probability, but it's not absolute. It doesn't mean that there's absolutely no possibility of becoming a Universe Master. It's just that theoretically, it's basically impossible. However, there are some special circumstances that can happen. For example, you entered the ninth region of Mountain God Crossing in the Savage You Universe. You should know roughly who the master of Mountain God Crossing is.
"If you can get his inheritance, you'll have a much higher chance of becoming a universe master."
In our universe, besides the miracles left behind by visitors from other universes like Mountain God Crossing, there are also other miracles left behind by visitors from other universes. As long as you're lucky enough to get them, your chances of becoming a Universe Master will naturally increase.
Therefore, this kind of thing isn't absolute. It mainly depends on your personal luck. "
Qin Xiao nodded. Only then did he feel somewhat relieved.
This meant that there was still a glimmer of hope. It wasn't completely impossible.
In fact, Qin Xiao had thought the same before. Nothing was absolute.
After hearing Barren Sword Emperor's words, Qin Xiao was completely convinced. This made him even more determined.
No matter how slim the chances were, he had to give it a try.
"Barren Sword Emperor," Qin Xiao asked, "this time, the forces of the three middle realms and the alternate universe lost on the mother planet. Will they start a new War of the Four Realms?"
Barren Sword Emperor shook his head and said, "It's hard to say for now. All I can say is that it's possible. As for the specifics, it depends on how much preparation the three realms and the alternate universe have made. However, the Automaton Race and Eros have been lurking for countless years. I believe they've made a lot of preparations.
The battle on the mother planet is very likely to be the fuse. However, even if a new War of the Four Realms is going to break out, it shouldn't happen so soon.
Both sides need to make preparations. Besides, they've just lost the battle on the mother planet. It's very unlikely that they'll start a War of the Four Realms when their morale is low. Also, it's very unlikely that they'll break out all at once. It's very likely that some chess pieces will appear in secret one by one to weaken the Godly Realm's strength and divert their attention so that the Godly Realm won't be able to defend itself. "
"According to the experience of the last War of the Four Realms, the chances of it happening within a million years is close to zero. However, we don't have much time left. The Godly Realm has already begun to make preparations. "
"After the War of the Four Realms, we all expected something like this to happen. Therefore, for countless years, the Godly Realm has secretly made a lot of preparations."
A million years was a relatively long time for Qin Xiao. After all, Qin Xiao hadn't lived for two hundred thousand years yet.
For Qin Xiao, there was still some time to prepare.
The Barren Sword Emperor waved his hand and said, "Alright, let's not talk about this for now. Right now, what you need to do is to increase your strength as quickly as possible and raise your realm as quickly as possible. You still have a million years to prepare. With your talent, it's very likely that you'll become a ruler. Once you do, you'll be a great help to the Godly Realm. "
"If you become a ruler, your strength will probably rise to the top of the ruler ranks."
"In the War of the Four Realms, at the very least, only the top ten powerhouses on the Heaven Ranking will be able to decide the outcome. When the time comes, it'll be a battle of the strongest. Moreover, some ordinary powerhouses will only be cannon fodder in the early stages. Those below the level of powerhouses are no different from ants. "
"Those below the level of powerhouses don't have the qualifications to participate in the War of the Four Realms. Before the War of the Four Realms erupts, there will be a large number of small wars. The countless chess pieces that the otherverse has secretly placed in the Godly Realm will also erupt one after another, bringing endless disasters and endless wars to the Godly Realm. "
"Such wars will cause the deaths of countless citizens of the Godly Realm. Only when we achieve victory in the War of the Four Realms will everything settle down."
Qin Xiao shook his head helplessly. Those cruel scenes had already surfaced in his mind.
Qin Xiao hated to see such scenes the most.
When he'd been a mortal, the calamity that had befallen the Nine Province Continent was still vivid in his mind. It was as if it had just happened yesterday. This was an unforgettable pain and hatred in Qin Xiao's heart.
"The Three Realms were originally part of the Primordial Chaos Universe, but they wallowed in the mire with the otherverse's forces. Their wild ambitions are truly deserving of death. We won the War of the Four Realms, and we'll definitely win this time as well. Those who invade our Garden will be punished, no matter how far away they are, "Qin Xiao said resentfully.
The Barren Sword Sovereign nodded, but the corners of his brows were slightly furrowed.
After three thousand years, they finally returned to the Godly Wilds Palace. As for the Godly Wilds Palace, Hegemon Greenleaf and Hegemon Glorious Emperor led the others to welcome the return of the brave warriors and welcome the hero, Qin Xiao.
They were not stingy with their praises.
Thunderous applause resounded throughout the hall.
Master Qingye was all smiles as he looked at Qin Xiao and the others. "Heroes of the Desolate Land Shrine, we welcome your triumphant return. Your efforts and hard work have helped the Shrine of the Desolate Land acquire large amounts of precious resources. This will allow the Shrine of the Desolate Land to prosper for hundreds of trillions of years.
"This is your contribution, so I have to give you a proper commendation. At the same time, I'll reward you on behalf of the Shrine Master. "
"Palace Feather, you've done well in leading the team this time. I'll reward you with three Universe Oddities, two Dao Integration Pills, three liters of Frostsoul Crystal Origin Fluid, one Crimson Roc Feather, and a thousand contribution points."
Emperor Palace Feather looked ashamed. In fact, his contribution as the leader of the team wasn't even worth mentioning.
However, since the Shrine Master had given him a reward, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and accept it. "Thank you for your generosity, Shrine Master. I'm ashamed to accept this."
Master Qingye waved his hand. "There's nothing to be ashamed of. The Shrine Master has always been fair and impartial when it comes to rewards and punishments. Since the Shrine Master has rewarded you, it means that you're qualified to receive these rewards. Even if you didn't do well in leading the team this time, you've at least worked hard. Furthermore, you've done well. "
One by one, the almighties received their rewards. Ye Junhe was rewarded with one of the Ten Ultimate Techniques and a few treasures that were worth a thousand contribution points.
Most importantly, Hegemon Green Leaf's gaze landed on Qin Xiao. Everyone else's gazes landed on Qin Xiao as well. There was no question that Qin Xiao had contributed the most to the battle on the egg planet. His merits were unparalleled.
Therefore, his reward would definitely be the greatest.
Master Qingye smiled. "Qin Xiao, you've contributed the most this time. You're the greatest. No matter how many rewards I give you, it will never be enough. "
"The Shrine Master has asked me to take you to him. He will personally reward you. Alright, everyone else is dismissed. Qin Xiao, come with me to see the Shrine Master. "
Qin Xiao was slightly taken aback. He hadn't expected the Shrine Master to ask him to see him directly.
The others were also envious, but this was understandable.
Given Qin Xiao's contributions, no amount of reward would be enough.
However, the rewards were obviously limited. Therefore, the Shrine Master personally receiving Qin Xiao was an intangible reward. It was a supreme honor.
Qin Xiao followed Master Qingye into the depths of the Desolate Land Shrine.
