Chapter 582: Wang Hou Leaves Seclusion

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the end, the Demon Realm managed to escape unscathed!

And it was not because of Jiang He relenting due to his merciful nature, but because the True Lord of Morality and Nothingness was standing firmly in his way, not yielding at all.

“The God Emperor and the Demon Emperor are equal in power to me after they fused, and the Demon-God Emperor would definitely be furious. Still, he would retain his rationality only because the Demon Realm still stands, but if you destroy it as well, the Demon-God Emperor and the Saints of both races would go crazy entirely, and the Three Realms would be in danger then.”

The True Lord of Morality and Nothingness explained, unable to help looking at Jiang He a few times as he spoke.

He understood Jiang He’s past, and know that he was a person who settled every score…

Which was why he understood Jiang He’s motive in plundering and wreaking havoc upon the Insectoids, the Bloods and the Sky Horses.

And yet, not even the True Lord of Morality and Nothingness himself had expected Jiang He to destroy the God Realm… in fact, everyone did not expect that either, or the Demon-God Emperor would never have gone out to the beyond to fight the True Lord of Morality.

Moreover, Jiang He was not just up to plundering…

As the True Lord of Morality fought the Demon-God Emperor all the way to Godland, he managed to peek at it…

And what a tragic sight it was!

Meanwhile, the Daoist of Guidance, the Grandmaster of Heaven, and the Primeval Lord of Heaven were all done fighting as well. All three Saints were right behind Jiang He and the True Lord of Morality as they all returned to the Three Realms.

The once thriving Sky Horse Constellation was now a field of dimensional turbulences, and the countless beings that dwelled upon the living planets there were nearly wiped out.

Such was the battle between Saints.

In fact, this was because they had been fighting in the constellation all this while. If it turned out to be a pursuit or a tug-of-war, the devastation would be worse.

***

Established by the Six Saints of the Three Realms, the Throne of the Six Holies existed in a special dimension above the Thirty-Three Skies, created from an alternate dimension fragment by the True Lord of Morality and Nothingness.

Jiang He arrived at the Throne of Six Holies, and met the Daoist of Tranquility as well as Nüwa, whom he had yet to meet.

The Daoist of Tranquility looked like your typical elderly Daoist who had a constant smile on his face, but gave the impression of being a tiger underneath that exterior.

On the other hand, Lady Nüwa exuded an air of sanctity from head to toe and she greeted Jiang He with a smile. “Starting today, the Throne of Six Holies shall be renamed the Throne of Seven Holies.”

“You’re too kind, Lady Nüwa.”

Jiang He was very humble toward the Mother Goddess, replying, “How could a youngster who has just cultivated for ten years or so be mentioned in the same breath as everyone here?”

“…”

Nüwa appeared astonished, as were the other Saints.

The smile on the Daoist of Tranquility’s face turned rigid and his ancient face flushed.

Though he was not involved in the recent battle between Saints, he observed the battlefield—with his Saint senses, he naturally could observe everything happening across the Realms Proper… which was why he knew about the battle between Jiang He and Lord Swelling Sky in Godland.

Jiang He had cultivated for just a dozen years and was already capable of destroying Lord Swelling Sky’s present form.

On the other hand, the Daoist of Tranquility cultivated over endless eras, but his fighting ability was only equal to Lord Swelling Sky’s at best…

He had never thought much of such things before… since who would dare to belittle a Saint?

Now, pitted against Jiang He, he felt a mysterious sense of embarrassment inside.

After having a few jovial words, Jiang He stood and bowed to everyone. “Brothers and Sister… I have been reckless today—I did not expect to cause a battle between Saints just because I went outside for a stroll.”

“…”

The Saints were silent.

Then, the Grandmaster of Heaven, who was the closest to Jiang He twitched his lips and quietly said, “You call that a stroll, Brother? To be fair, the Insectoids, who were supposed to be a neutral race, always cause trouble for the Three Realms. Did they think we, the Three Realms, would be afraid to touch them just because the Gods and Demons would deter us?”

“However, the Bloods and the Sky Horses are the Gods and Demons’ loyal vassals!”

“The Gods and Demons are out for your blood in the first place, and yet you ran off to attack their vassals. Why would the God Emperor and the Demon Emperor stay their hands now?”

“You missed something there, Brother!”

Jiang He said, waving his hand. “I visited the Bloods and the Sky Horses because they hunted me down. How are they innocent? I’m just settling the score!”

Perhaps finding his own words unconvincing, Jiang He had to change the topic and said, “Dear Brothers and Sister, I’ve destroyed Lord Swelling Sky’s present form and pillaged Godland in today’s battle, as well as killing ninety-nine percent of Gods above Golden Immortal-tier… the Gods and Demons wouldn’t try to seek revenge from me, would they?”

The only thing Jiang He was worried about was the Demon-God Emperor abandoning all pretenses and charging into the Three Realms with every Demon Saint and God Saint.

Even if the Saints of the Three Realms could stop them, all the five continents and even the Celestial Court would be vaporized like the Sky Horse Constellation if a war kicked off there.

“I’ve already sent word to every faction of the Three Realms to return,” the True Lord of Morality and Nothingness said, waving him off. “With me guarding the Three Realms, he Demon-God Emperor would not get away easy even if he does come.”

It was clear that the True Lord of Morality and Nothingness had something prepared in the Three Realms, since he was very confident when he mentioned that.

Moreover, given the ability of the True Lord of Morality and Nothingness, the Saints of the Gods and Demons would be noticed from hundreds and thousands of light years away if they did come. They would attack by their own imitative then while having Nüwa and the Daoist of Guidance stayed to protect the Three Realms.

In other words, there was nothing to fear at all.

“That’s good!”

Jiang He breathed a long sigh of relief and smiled. “I could go into seclusion with ease since the Three Realms is safe.”

“Again?”

The Grandmaster of Heaven shot him a glare. “You do that so often that it’s as if you go into seclusion every other day… did you get addicted to it?”

“I don’t want to do that either!”

Jiang He flashed a bitter smile despite himself. “I’ve only become Saint through immortal arts today, and I don’t understand much about being a Saint. I did get some ideas after today’s battle, though, so I need to seclude myself in order to digest it.”

“…”

The Saints were silent.

***

Before Jiang He went into seclusion, he received a message from Wang Hou and agreed to meet with him at a divine city.

“Yo?”

After they met, Jiang He studied Wang Hou from head to toe and exclaimed in surprise, “You’ve developed your cultivation again, Minister Wang!”

“I ascended in the last battle and had stayed in seclusion to meditate on martial arts—it proved quite productive.” Wang Hou appeared humble before Jiang He, since his cultivation progress was definitely moving at godly speeds when compared to most superior beings. Even taking temporal acceleration into account, Wang Hou’s cultivation was just around five hundred years since he got started…

But now he was already at the middle of the fourteenth-tier of martial arts, and would match mid-level Demi-Saints in combat ability.

“You’ve been in seclusion all along?”

Jiang He was surprised again. “It’s been so long since the battle between Demi-Saints… you’ve been in seclusion ever since then?”

It’s been so long?

Wang Hou was speechless.

How long has it only been, really?

Having cultivated to our level, centuries are a mere instant, let alone a handful of years and months!

Still, he heard Jiang He’s tone changed into a sigh then. “When you were in seclusion, exciting things were happening, Minister Wang… It’s a shame that you couldn’t see it!”

“What is it?”

Wang Hou’s eyes lit up.

Jiang He mused to himself for seconds and tried to find the right words, but no matter how he thought about it, a lot of things had happened since the battle between Demi-Saints.

Wouldn’t it be a bother if he mentioned every little thing?

Hence, thousands of words were condensed into just four.

“I became a Saint!”
