Everything that happened afterwards was as expected.

Faced with numerous threats from the Alien Realm, various forces in the Heaven Realm World began to unite. Of course, the so-called various forces referred to the forces in the Seven-deity Regions. The Sea Area had always been under the rule of the Sea Emperor, the Vast Sea Emperor. Each of his Prime Ministers took charge of a locality. Most importantly, though the Sea Emperor was nowhere to be seen, he could secretly command the Prime Ministers to carry out his instructions without any hindrance, which made Zhou Bao gnash his teeth.

However, there was nothing Zhou Bao could do about it. The Sea Emperor was a Great Ancient Emperor with the strength of an Earthly Immortal. Confined in a secret space, he could easily remain unfound.

“It is the main trend. I’m certainly not going to be a fool and stand in the way of history!”

Zhou Bao sighed softly. In just one decade, the Heaven Realm World had changed greatly. The sects and schools, once the most powerful in the world, had declined. The truly influential person was the candidate for Human Emperor who ruled the entire Seven-deity Regions. Under the candidate for Human Emperor, there were more than 10 very large sects, and then there were the millennium sects like Tian Long Taoism and the great dynasties like the Jin.

In the past, ordinary people had not known about the Divine Wind Palace, the Immortal Palace, Extraterrestrial Divine Mountain and other super sects. Even a practitioner had only minor knowledge about the highest levels of the Seven-deity Regions once he had broken through to the Mysterious Realm. But now an ordinary person could talk about these super sects with familiarity.

Of course, most of the attention was on the new candidate for the Human Emperor.

A decade ago, the legendary candidate for the Human Emperor had been the Jin’s Emperor Yan Yuntian, and he had achieved the greatest achievement of the Jin: destroying the Northern Yuan. It hadn’t taken long for him to become the real Divine Son. Now he reigned over the Seven-deity Regions and had influence all over the world, leaving the people of the Jin feeling uplifted. But that was all it was.

The invasion of Alien Realms had little to do with these ordinary people. As a matter of fact, people with cultivation below Level Seven didn’t know about the Alien Realm at all, confirming that ignorant people were the happiest.

A Level Seven expert could practice Gang Qi, and therefore met the most basic conditions for cannon fodder against the Alien Realms’ attack.

They were expendable.

In fact, if there was a real war with the Alien Realm, the Individual Immortals at the Mysterious Realm were also expendable. The Genuine Immortals were the real backbone. However, there were very few Genuine Immortals in the Seven-deity Regions these days.

The invasion of the Alien Realm was something that the upper class should be concerned about, and Zhou Bao was now a member of the upper class. In fact, all the sects, whether hidden or visible, large or small, now acknowledged his power. In terms of combat capability, no one in the Heaven Realm World could beat him. That was to say, Zhou Bao was currently the most powerful man in the Heaven Realm World.

At present, Zhou Bao was sitting on a magnificent long chaise longue. His costume was quite different from the usual. Although he was King Wuyang, the first lord of the Jin, he normally dressed casually, often in a blue robe, with his hair tied up in a bun. Today, however, he was dressed very formally, in a black robe with gold rim that was embroidered with fine patterns.

His hair was no longer tied up in a bun, and he was wearing a black crown instead of a golden one, making him stand out in the gorgeous palace.

Zhou Bao was in the Human Emperor Palace. Compared with his first visit, the palace was more brilliant, and there were more people.

His father-in-law, the greatest Emperor of the Jin, the first candidate for Human Emperor since antiquity times, was now sitting on the most central dragon throne. He was dressed in an ornate embroidered robe and appeared supremely confident. Zhou Bao could see that his self-confidence was from the heart. This was the feeling of blind self-confidence a person possessed when they had practiced the Way of the Emperor to a certain state.

There were two rows of people sitting on either side of Yan Yuntian. On the left were Yu Taixuan from Divine Wind Palace, Yuan Tiangang from Dragon Thunder Palace, the Child-endowing Buddha from Bigwheel Temple, the Star Master of Immortal Palace and the leader of Jade Pool. On the right sat the current Mountain Master of Extraterrestrial Divine Mountain, the lord of Palace of Eternal Life and the Bloody-robed Lord of Heaven.

Like Zhou Bao, the Bloody-robed Lord of Heaven had Fiery Eyes. He had now occupied the sphere of influence of Youxian Taoist Temple of the Tang Dynasty. Although the current Divine Wind Palace hated what he did, they could do nothing about it. The representative of Fifth Manor of Longevity Mountain, another major force in the Three Western Regions, was Ma Tianchang, the former Governor of Yunzhou.

Fifth Manor had always been indifferent to secular things. But as a member of the Heaven Realm World, it was not good to keep silent in the face of such a large problem. Qing Feng and Ming Yue both looked very young, but they were only a step away from the Earthly Immortals’ Great Way, so they could never be here.

Zhou Bao sat at the end of the right side.

In contrast to the seriousness of the crowd, Zhou Bao leaned back in his chair, tilted his head wearily, and spat bubbles from time to time. Yan Yuntian frowned slightly at him but did not dare to complain. As a candidate for the Human Emperor, he had learned more about the world. Of course, he understood that without Zhou Bao, he wouldn’t have been able to get any of what he owned now. He hadn’t expected that Zhou Bao had a good relationship with the Fate Creator of this macro world and would even help the Fate Creator recapture his position.

The Fate Creator was the one who controlled the whole macro world. He had the same power as an Earthly Immortal and could have easily killed everyone present. Yan Yuntian had had a chance to be the Fate Creator, Zhou Bao had ruined it.

However, he was not angry with Zhou Bao, because he knew very well that without Zhou Bao, his chances of becoming a Fate Creator were very slim, unless Zhou Bao could help him with all his heart and soul.

But what he practiced was the Way of the Emperor. It was in natural conflict with the ruling strategy of Fate Creators. The Way of the Emperor was about absolute control, while the Fate Creator followed the principle of free development. Even the Fate Creator, who had the most strict control over the macro world, could not control it as the Emperor did.

The Fate Creator could control the entire Heaven Realm World, but it was not the kind of control he wanted. Therefore, the fact that Zhou Bao had helped Fate Creation Boy to become the Fate Creator again had little influence on him. In addition, the Fate Creation Boy had given him great help afterwards for Zhou Bao’s sake, so he had gathered considerable good fate and became a real candidate for the Human Emperor.
