Chapter 141: The Choice of the Next Peak-Grade Gu Insect

"So, becoming a god is essentially a battle for divine positions. There are far too few divine positions available, resulting in a very limited number of gods in the world."

"In the world of gods, there are also divisions into different factions."

"The gods born in the East are called the Eastern Gods, and they enter the Eastern Court."

"The gods born in the West are called the Western Gods, and they enter the Western Court."

"The gods born in the South are called the Southern Gods, and they enter the Southern Court."

"The gods born in the North are called the Northern Gods, and they enter the Northern Court."

"At a certain point in time, the world of gods erupted in a world-spanning divine war. This war led to the downfall of countless gods and left numerous divine positions vacant."

"In the divine war, the Northern Gods exterminated the Eastern Gods, transforming the Northern Court into the Divine Court."

"The Southern Gods, in turn, wiped out the Western Gods, transforming the Western Court into the Heavenly Court."

"From that point on, the three realms were divided between the Divine Court and the Heavenly Court. The Divine Court took the North, and the Heavenly Court took the South, with the River of Heaven as the boundary in the divine world."

"The two great factions ruled on either side of the river, dividing the three realms equally, maintaining a long period of peace."

"This is basically how the structure of the divine world was formed. The next person to become a god must choose either to join the Divine Court or the Heavenly Court. There's no third option."

"The resources of the three realms have been almost completely divided between these two factions, making it difficult for any rogue gods to find a way forward."

"In the Heavenly Court, the ruler of the three realms is the Heavenly Emperor. The strength of the Heavenly Emperor's divine position depends on the expanse of the heavens under his control—the larger the heavens, the stronger his divine power."

"That's why the Heavenly Emperor likes to wage wars across different planes. He has led millions of heavenly soldiers in battles against foreign realms multiple times."

"At its peak, the Heavenly Court once conquered four different realms and ruled over seven realms, which are the Demon Realm, Heavenly Realm, Ghost Realm, Immortal Realm, Human Realm, Spiritual Realm, and Divine Realm."

"Thus, at the peak of the human race, they exclusively ruled over the seven realms."

"Because the Heavenly Emperor acquired more heavens, his divine power was at its strongest during the period when the Heavenly Court dominated the seven realms."

"In the Divine Court, the ruler of the three realms is the Divine Emperor. The strength of the Divine Emperor's position is determined by the number of gods he controls—the more gods under his rule, the stronger his divine power."

"Therefore, for the Divine Emperor to grow stronger, he must seize more divine positions and control more gods."

"Since half of the divine positions were taken by the Heavenly Court, the Divine Emperor would have to wage war against the Heavenly Court to acquire more divine positions. This outcome was inevitable in history."

"After a long period of peace, war eventually broke out between the Divine Court and the Heavenly Court, and all the gods of the seven realms were drawn into the conflict."

"This war shattered the sky, plunged the world into darkness, and led to the downfall of countless gods. The number of vacant divine positions was also incalculable. The human race suffered severe damage, losing control over the Immortal, Demon, Ghost, and Heavenly Realms."

"The result of this war was mutual destruction, with no clear victor. Over seventy percent of the gods on both sides fell, leading to an extremely prolonged period of recovery."

"This great war was later known as the War of the Gods, marking the time when the number of gods was at its highest, with powerful high-ranking gods emerging one after another."

"But at the same time, the other unique Gu insects of the Long Clan from different regions are absent in our Western Land Long Clan. For example, the Shock Gu, Dragon Roar Eight Sounds Gu, Dragon Roar Phoenix Cry Gu, and Dragon King Gu—all these are absent in our Western Land Long Clan. This is truly a regrettable thing."

"Currently, the Blade Gu is the strongest unique Gu insect in our Western Long Clan. The Blade Gu is terrifying because its intelligence and comprehension are on par with humans. It is an extremely rare high-intelligence Gu insect."

"A smart Blade Gu can learn human swordsmanship and bladework, and it is born wielding a blade, a natural swordsman. Its talent in swordsmanship far surpasses that of humans."

"To put it bluntly, if a human and a Blade Gu were to compete in swordsmanship at the same level, the human would almost certainly lose. Even an outstanding swordsman would struggle to withstand a few moves from a Blade Gu and would most likely be killed with a single strike."

"So, it's really not an exaggeration that this Blade Gu can compete with Long Ziyan, who has a natural sword bone, for so long."

"The Blade Gu's potential is extremely high, and its strength varies based on the swordsmanship it learns. If it can learn a top-tier Heaven-grade sword technique, it would essentially become an invincible existence among peak-grade Gu insects."

"And if you refine a peak-grade spiritual blade or even a famous blade for the Blade Gu, it would become even more terrifying."

"The Blade Gu also possesses a special ability called Armor Break. After consuming a certain type of creature, it gains the ability to penetrate that creature's defenses. In its presence, those creatures essentially have no defense, no matter how hard their shell is—it would be as fragile as paper, easily cut through."

"You can see how terrifying it is, given that it can fight Long Ziyan for so long."

"So I also suggest you refine one. The Blade Gu is undoubtedly among the top in the ranking of peak-grade Gu insects. Refining one would definitely be worth it."

Upon hearing this, Long Xuan was shocked. What did he mean by this? He was actually allowing him to refine the secret Gu technique of the Western Land Long Clan? Was it so easy to pass on their secret Gu techniques, so generous?

Could it be that the Western Earth Long Clan had some intention of roping him in?

Long Xuan was confused, but he was indeed tempted. He was very picky, and most peak-grade Gu insects would not catch his eye.

However, the Blade Gu's strength was definitely up to his standards.

What excited him the most was that the Blade Gu's strength would vary depending on the sword techniques it learned.

What if he created the most powerful sword technique in this world for the Blade Gu to learn? How strong would it become?

In his previous life, there were countless powerful sword and blade techniques, and he had many ideas about swordsmanship and bladework.

If he could create a highly powerful sword technique for the Blade Gu, and then create a special weapon for it, refining two peerless famous blades, this Blade Gu would truly be invincible.

The Blade Gu has great potential for creative development, making it very suitable for his imagination.

He had a feeling that the Blade Gu in his hands would unleash even greater power and break through the limits of its strength.

There would be two types of Blade Gu: those of others and the Blade Gu of Long Xuan.

Long Xuan immediately decided that as long as the Western Land Long Clan agreed, his next peak-grade Gu insect would be the Blade Gu.
