Chapter 186: Chapter 185: The Next Plan of the Kings

Translator: 549690339

Inside the secret realm, the spiritual energy was rich, and across the mountains and valleys, there were spiritual plants known for prolonging life. Beautiful young women strolled along the country trails in thin clothing, drawing attention.

These women were not only attractive but also skilled in cooking, weaving, and poetry. They were talented and ensured that the twelve Sky Kings lived enriched lives here.

Of course, they also provided physical service.

A magnificent palace, mysterious and majestic, sat among the mountains.

“It’s been 315 years now. By now, I believe everyone in the world should believe that we are their saviors.”

The twelve Sky Kings sat in the palace, discussing matters that concerned their future and the future of the Ring Universe.

“They should by now. Two months ago, I went on a visit around our world. The belief in us is strong. In every household, there are statues of us twelve. When we get there, we can use the power of belief to reach the end of our current realm.”

“Night Sky King, you haven’t changed your old habits; what ‘our world’? We’re in the Upper Realm now, so we should refer to the Qi Country as the ‘Lower Realm’.”

“Indeed, indeed, that place is the Lower Realm, while we are in the Upper Realm.

“Time flies, and suddenly it’s been so long. This place is a true paradise for immortals,” another king nodded gently, savoring the past 300 years of lavish life. “The Lower Realm was filthy and had little spiritual energy. It was indeed a wise decision to gather all the spiritual energy from the Lower Realm to this place.”

“But doing so made the spiritual energy in the Lower Realm even sparser, almost scarce.” A king sighed, then smiling cheerfully, added, “However, those ignorant folks don’t know the magic of spiritual energy, so leaving it to them would only be a waste. Giving it to us is much better.”

“Every twenty years, we select a group of beautiful women from the Lower Realm to serve us. This carefree life is indeed the life of an Immortal. Even now, we still have the same vitality as we did three hundred years ago, day and night indulging in our women.”

“The decision Chaos King made, to only let mortals live until forty, is indeed an excellent idea. It not only accelerated the generational change of the mortals and altered history quickly, but also enabled the women from the Lower Realm serving us to retain their beauty for life. We never have to witness them age and lose their beauty.”

The women who came here would age from their teen years to their thirties. Each age group had its unique charm that one of the kings took great pleasure in.

“Oh, it was nothing more than an inspiration.” Chaos King feigned modesty, but his expression was smug.

Issuing the martial arts secret manual of Burning Life and claiming it could prolong life, and spreading propaganda that the old martial artists were evil — these two deeds earned him much praise. The other eleven kings had little choice but to admire him.

“We should be thankful that there’s a clear distinction between immortals and mortals; these women can’t get pregnant. Otherwise, wouldn’t there be a bunch of our offspring running around the spacious Upper Realm? That would be a real downer.”

“What’s the use of offspring? They’re nothing but a burden. We’re supposed to live forever, we can’t be stuck watching our descendants being born and die.”

“True, but we do need some of our offspring to manage the Lower Realm for us and ensure the mortals’ belief in us. Aren’t Night Sky King’s descendants the royal family of Qi Country?”

Standing up, Chaos King laughed, “Since we all agree that the time is right, we should start planning the next step.”

“Agreed.” The other eleven Sky Kings nodded.

“We twelve were lucky enough to be favored by the Upper Beings, who gifted us with pills that guided us to become Divinity Transformation Stage. But the Divinity Transformation Stage still has a limited life span, only lasting for a thousand years. Colleagues, can we really bear to live only a thousand years, to enjoy only a thousand years?”

Every time it came to this, the twelve kings would exchange knowing smiles. They were nothing more than a group of martial artists, clueless about what quality the Upper Beings saw in them. They must have caught the Upper Beings’ attention by their diligent martial arts training, and were rewarded with the pills that allowed them to become Sky Kings.

“Of course, not. How can a thousand years be enough? As per the words of the Upper Beings, after Divinity Transformation is the Body Integration Realm; we must break through Divinity Transformation and become Body Integration!”

Not to mention that the Ring Universe had far fewer people compared to Jiuzhou, thus receiving less power of belief, which was insufficient for the twelve Sky Kings to reach the Body Integration Realm. Even if they were able to reach the Body Integration Realm, this power, based solely on the strength of belief, would only be a show of force and wouldn’t extend their lives.

Similar to Luo Ying of the Zombie World, when he was the Shadow King Buddha, he only had the power of the Divinity Transformation Stage, not the life span of the Divinity Transformation Stage.

The twelve kings needed to figure out a way to truly reach the Body Integration Realm.

Which the Upper Beings hadn’t informed them of a normal method for cultivation.

“The method to reach the Body Integration Realm has been told to us by the Upper Beings. Between life and death, living beings will long for survival. This unified will to survive is truly terrifying, it can turn decay into miracle, and even defy nature!”

“As all living beings now believe in us twelve, this will to survive now has a direction, and that is us!”

“Therefore, I suggest we create a disaster. We’ll inform the Lower Realm that this disaster is unprecedented and calamitous, and that the power of us twelve is insufficient to resist it. To survive the disaster, the only way is to pray to us and hope that we become stronger! ”

“Once we do so, faced with life-or-death disaster, the ignorant residents of the Lower Realm will pray together, helping us reach the Body Integration Realm!”

“The Upper Beings emphasized that only between life and death, can the will of living beings reach the extreme and unite. To ensure success, once we set off the apocalyptic disaster, we should not stop it, and have everyone pray to us before their demise.”

“Agreed.” The eleven Sky Kings nodded; Chaos King’s words matched their thoughts exactly.

Of course, they wouldn’t exterminate everyone completely – with no one left, who would serve them? They would leave roughly one-tenth of the population alive.

After the disaster, they would claim they did their best, almost dying in the process of saving them. The mortals should be grateful. Those mortals will believe their words.

“There’s no need to rush this matter. We can plan it at a leisurely pace. We have six hundred years to prepare.”

The lives of those at the Divinity Transformation Stage were incredibly long. Nowadays, mortals become parents in their teens, and within three hundred years, mortals have undergone twenty generations of change, but they have just gone through the first third of their life.

“Hmm?” Night Sky King made a small sound of surprise.

“What is it?” A Sky King next to him asked.

“My descendant is contacting me through their dreams.”

“The current emperor?”

“Yes.”

Night Sky King was well-versed in the Dream Path and allowed his most excellent descendant to contact him in their dreams.

And the most outstanding descendant was undoubtedly the emperor.

Usually, it was him who contacted his descendants to inquire about the Lower Realm; it was rare for a descendant to reach out to him instead.

It seemed something had happened in the Lower Realm.

Could it be a significant problem?

Just two months ago, he had returned from the Lower Realm, where everything was peaceful. The people were as ignorant as ever, practicing the Burning Life martial arts, worshipping the twelve Sky Kings. The Qi Country court was obedient, and the three individuals at the top of the human realm were also very cooperative; everything was not only as it should be.

“I’d like to see what could possibly happen in the Lower Realm.”

Night Sky King muttered to himself, entering his dreams to see the obese Qi King dashing towards him.

“Ancestor, there’s a huge problem below — the people are rebelling!”
