Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Yan Tiangang’s statue was ruined, and later on, the altar collapsed in the immortal’s body’s hands. Yan Tiangang had lost his catalyst of connecting to this world. The avatar could no longer stay.

Yan Tiangang’s avatar disappeared and the battle had come to an end. Of course, Lu Li did not let his guard down. He used psychic power to check the Divine Imperial City again and again. Making sure that everything was fine, he told Lu Renhuang and the others to come back in.

“Father, this is the core to control the Divine Imperial City. Take it!”

Lu Li took out Yan Hu’s Interspatial Ring to get a jade talisman with beautiful patterns and handed it to Lu Renhuang.

Blazing Huo and the Deaf Taoist took a look in excitement. Blazing Huo, in particular, was worked up.

Yan Family could rule the nine universes for hundreds of thousands of years, and the leverage was this city. If the Huo Family could have this city, then the Huo Family could develop quickly and eventually rule the nine universes.

Of course, this thought was just a thought. Soon, the thrill in Blazing Huo’s eyes disappeared. He turned to Lu Li with respect and mixed feelings.

The Yan Family that had been towering over the nine universes for hundreds of thousands of years and had a mighty warrior in the Divinity would no longer be in existence from today on.

There were some disciples of the Yan Family staying in the ancestral lands. It was unlikely that Lu Li would spare them. He would find them, break the spatial barrier, and completely destroy the Yan Family.

From today on, the landscape of the nine universes would be transformed. The nine universes would no longer be the same. It was only a matter of time before the Lu Family rise up. From now on, Lu Family would replace the Yan Family as the ruler of the nine universes.

Lu Renhuang did not obtain the beautiful jade talisman. With a frown, he said, “Lu Li, it’s better that you take it. It will make you stronger and safeguard you in the Divinity.”

Lu Renhuang heard Yan Tiangang’s last words of anger. Hence, the former was worried.

Yan Tiangang was a noted warrior in the Southern Divinity. Lu Li might be killed when he was fresh in the Divinity. One more Relic could be one more leverage for Lu Li.

“I have the Wicked Bead!”

Lu Li returned the jade talisman to Lu Renhuang resolutely and said, “The Wicked Bead is not less strong than the Divine Imperial City. I will leave the city to protect the Lu Family.”

The Divine Imperial City was secure. If it were not for the Bloodvine, even as an immortal, Lu Li would not be able to break into the Divine Imperial City. With the Divine Imperial City, Lu Family would have absolute safety.

“Sure!”

Lu Renhuang took over the jade talisman and sat down to take control. The sooner he could control the Divine Imperial City, the easier it would be for Lu Li to take care of his business.

Lu Li did not leave the Divine Imperial City at once. Instead, he stood in the city for a long time. For one thing, he wanted to calm down his excitement. For another, he had to consider his future.

It was only a matter of time before the Yan Family was entirely gone. The pattern of the nine universes had changed. Of the ninety some Semi-God Realm warriors, sixty to seventy were gone. Their respective families were undermined.

Lu Family, with the Divine Imperial City, had the ability to stay in the nine universes. It was time to relocate the Lu Family to the nine universes.

After all, the Heaven Reverse Universe was too small with few Xuan Qi and resources. If the Lu Family wanted to become a super family, they must take control of a big universe in the nine universes.

Lu Li never thought about unifying the nine universes because the Lu Family had too few powerful warriors. While he was still around, that would not be a problem. But once he ascended to the Divinity, the Lu Family would be the target of other families. By then, it was even likely that Lu Family would be destroyed.

Lu Li thought for two hours before he had an idea. Looking at Blazing Huo, Lu Li said, “Blazing Huo, do you want your Huo Family to come to the four major universes?”

“Plop!”

Blazing Huo dropped to one knee at once and said gratefully, “Thank you, my lord. The Huo Family will never forget your kindness.”

Lu Li was the most resourceful of the nine universes. Other families were undermined. Nobody could disobey Lu Li’s words or else those families would face doom. Since Lu Li had said so, it was already a fact that the Huo Family would master one of the four major universes, Of course, Blazing Huo would be pleased.

Four major universes and five minor ones. The four were the most prosperous lands, suitable for warriors to cultivate and for the development of powerful warriors.

If the Huo Family could master any of the four, in hundreds of years, the Huo Family would become a giant that would gain fame in the nine universes.

“If... I give the Divine Imperial City to the Huo Family, will you have the courage to take it?”

Lu Li took a pause and added. Blazing Huo trembled. He looked at Lu Li in disbelief, thinking he was hearing things.

The Divine Imperial Universe was acknowledged as the biggest one among the four with the most resources and prosperous lands. Otherwise, the Yan Family would not have occupied the Divine Imperial Universe for such a long time.

But...

Shouldn’t the Lu Family take the Divine Imperial Universe themselves? How could Lu Li give it to the Huo Family? Who would dislike a large territory or resources?

“Do not doubt my decision!”

Before Blazing Huo could reply, Lu Li said with a smile, “If you can agree to one term, I will give the Divine Imperial Universe to the Huo Family so that your family can enjoy glory in ten thousand years.”

Lu Li was not making a joke. Suppressing down the joy in his heart, Blazing Huo answered at once, “Lord, do tell. If I can do it, I will agree in no time.”

“It’s simple, really!”

Pointing to Lu Renhuang, Lu Li said, “Later, you will become my father’s soul slave. When my father ascends to the Divinity—you will become another person’s soul slave as determined by my father. In other words—you will forever serve our Lu Family throughout your life. Of course, you will enjoy your status as Lu Family’s honorary patriarch. No others outside the family will know the truth. Lu Family will treat you with respect!”

“What?”

Blazing Huo shivered inside. The glow in his eyes died down. He understood Lu Li’s words now. It meant that he would never stop being a slave in this lifetime. He would not have his freedom back until the day he died.

Lu Li promised him once that his freedom would be returned before Lu Li ascended to the Divinity. Now, Lu Li had a change of heart. He told Blazing Huo that he would never be free and till death, he would remain a slave!

“Clever!”

The Deaf Taoist saw through Lu Li’s plan at once. Lu Li was making arrangements for the future. He was finding a super guard for the Lu Family to provide protection after he went to the Divinity.

The Deaf Taoist admired Lu Li’s plan. He could give up the spacious Divine Imperial Universe just like that, and at the same time, give some rewards to Blazing Huo and the Huo Family. No matter how strong the Huo Family was, at the end of the day, they would still be the guards of the Lu Family. Bottom-line, the Divine Imperial Universe would still belong to the Lu Family...

Lu Family was too weak with such a small population of warriors. The Lu Family would not grow up without hundreds of years. When Lu Li went to the Divinity, for a time, he would no longer be able to look after the Lu Family. But with Blazing Huo and the Huo Family to safeguard the Lu Family and a Relic city and other Relics, Lu Li would have nothing to worry about.

The Divine Imperial Universe was an enticing offer!

Maybe within decades, nobody would come to the Divine Imperial Universe. However, after a hundred years, many families would grow and there could be other talented warriors. By then, they would covet the Divine Imperial Universe.

By giving the Divine Imperial Universe to the Huo Family, they would have to face the challenges from others. As long as the Huo Family was still there, the Lu Family would be safe.

Blazing Huo could see all the clever moves as well. That being said, he could not help but become interested. This was the Divine Imperial Universe. As long as the Huo Family could develop. In decades, Huo Family would rise up as a giant.

He had hundreds of years to live. If he could stay well within this time and manage the Huo Family well, Huo Family would have a firm stand at the Divine Imperial Universe and eventually tower over the nine universes. If the Huo Family could witness the rise of one to two immortals, then the future of the Huo Family would be promising.

“Okay!”

In the end, Blazing Huo made up his mind and agreed. He lowered his head and said with respect, “I will follow your command, lord.”

Lu Li nodded, smiling. He could rest at ease now that Blazing Huo had stated so.

Lu Li could focus on becoming an immortal. He would explore the vast Divinity and search for... Lu Ling.
