Chapter 14: Returning to the Realm of Divine Gods

Reaching the level of a Divine King is not a dream!
The highest cultivation level in the Divine Realm was spoken in Qu Yi’s calm tone, striking directly at the strongest defense lines in the hearts of the 19,000 people of Tianfeng Fort, turning them all into stone-like figures.
There were less than a hundred Divine Kings in the entire Divine Realm, which showed just how difficult it was to reach that level.
Yet now, all 19,000 people of Tianfeng Fort might be able to reach the level of a Divine King—what an unimaginable thing!
If Qu Yi had said this before, everyone would have taken it as a joke. But the power he had demonstrated had gradually convinced people that rapidly advancing in cultivation was entirely possible.
The 19,000 people of Tianfeng Fort gradually came to their senses. Their faces showed neither joy nor calmness, their emotions unreadable, but everyone fixed their intense gazes on Qu Yi, waiting for him to continue speaking.
Qu Yi looked at them calmly. Seeing that everyone had awakened, he smiled and said, “Brothers, during the battle at Liquan City back then, all the cultivators in the city perished in the Realm of Divine Gods. Yet their soul orbs did not dissipate but instead formed various forms of soul beings. All you need to do is hunt these soul beings to obtain those soul orbs, then refine them. In that way, you can quickly grasp new laws, and your cultivation will advance rapidly as well.”
Another astonishing revelation. Everyone in Tianfeng Fort could hardly bear it and collapsed to the ground as if drained of strength.
The successive revelations from Qu Yi had made everyone realize that reaching the level of a Divine King was now within reach, just around the corner.
The fort’s leader, who was at the level of a Divine Weapon Master, only needed to refine three more soul orbs to reach the level of a Divine King.
The 19,000 members at the level of Divine Human also only needed to refine four soul orbs to achieve the same goal.
Everyone’s hearts burned with passion.
“Fort King, can we really become Divine Kings?”
“Fort King, is this true? Can I also become a Divine King?”
“Fort King, can you say it again? Can we all become Divine Kings?”
……
The 19,000 people of Tianfeng Fort could no longer contain their excitement and shouted at Qu Yi in unison. The level of a Divine King used to seem so unattainable, but now there was suddenly great hope. Everyone could hardly believe it.
Qu Yi could only smile and nod.
Wow……
Huh……
Howl……

Nineteen thousand people in Tianfeng Fort were howling and shouting loudly, their voices echoing incessantly—this continued for a whole day before things finally calmed down.
“Everyone, calm down.”
Qu Yi waited quietly for a day. When he saw that everyone had stopped shouting, he suddenly spoke up.
All nineteen thousand people in Tianfeng Fort stared at Qu Yi in shock, feeling a sense of unease. They looked at him with concern.
Qu Yi suddenly flew into the air and said calmly, “I’ve already told everyone about the benefits of the Divine Realm of Ruiny. But… if any of you want to enjoy those benefits, you must become my slaves. I want to imprint my soul mark on your soul orbs.”
The existence of the Divine Realm of Ruiny couldn’t be revealed, otherwise it would surely attract the attention of the various divine kings in the divine realm. Moreover, Qu Yi’s goal in controlling Tianfeng Fort was to build his own power base. Naturally, only by fully controlling everyone could he act with ease.
These words immediately provoked anger among the members of Tianfeng Fort.
“Qu Yi, you truly have evil intentions! You’ve been using us all this time.”
“Qu Yi, you despicable wretch! You actually want to enslave us?”
“Qu Yi, dreaming that I’ll become your slave? That’s delusional!”
…
The angry shouts continued nonstop, roaring like storms, filling the air.
Of course, some people, so enraged that they lost their senses, tried to fly up to confront Qu Yi, intending to kill him first before searching for the Divine Realm of Ruiny. But they were shocked to find that their bodies were restrained by some unknown force, preventing them from moving.
Soon, everyone in Tianfeng Fort realized that they were trapped in that space, unable to use their magic.
Qu Yi smiled as he descended, looking at everyone calmly. With a faint smile, he said, “I understand your anger just now, but this is fate. I have the power to control your fate, and you must accept it. I’ll give you one more chance. If you’re willing to become my slaves, I’ll take you to the Divine Realm of Ruiny.”
Once again, a choice was placed before everyone in Tianfeng Fort.
At that moment, Qing Yiyi, who had remained calm until then, suddenly said with a smile, “Fort King, I’m willing to become your slave.”
As soon as Qing Yiyi finished speaking, Yu Deming, Yu Chongxiu, Yu Zhuting, Meng Yan, and Fei Changxia also immediately declared, “Fort King, we’re willing to become your slaves.”

Qing Yiyi, who had long become Qu Yi’s slave, naturally had no choice. The five people under Qing Yiyi’s control—Yu Deming, Yu Chongxiu, Yu Zhuting, Meng Yan, and Fei Changxia—also had no choice. All six of them, at Qu Yi’s instruction, were the first to express their willingness.

“You…”

Zhu Chen, Zhao Jing, Zhen Lan, and Zhuo Rui were greatly surprised to see these chieftains agree so quickly. Their minds became even more uncertain, filled with hesitation.

The scene fell silent. The members of Tianfeng Camp were struggling to think and make their decisions.

Back in the mortal world, each member of Tianfeng Camp had been a powerful figure who dominated their surroundings, controlling the fates of countless people and holding their lives in their hands. They had long understood the cruelty of cultivation through bitter experience.

Powerful beings should have the right to dictate the fates of others.

To gain something, one must give something in return—especially when it comes to reaching the level of a Divine King.

After much deliberation, all members of Tianfeng Camp finally understood the reality and recognized the truth: to reach the level of a Divine King, they had to sacrifice their freedom. Qu Yi had no obligation to help them improve their cultivation.

“Chieftain, does the Realm of Fallen Gods really exist?”

Some members voiced their last doubts.

If such a place didn’t exist and they still became Qu Yi’s slaves, it would be an utter loss—too late to regret it then.

Indeed, many members of Tianfeng Camp also doubted the existence of the Realm of Fallen Gods. Hearing this, they all stared at Qu Yi in confusion.

Qu Yi simply smiled faintly and said calmly, “All you need to answer now is whether you are willing or not.”

Once all members of Tianfeng Camp entered the Dimension Sphere, their fate was already in Qu Yi’s hands. Now, they only had the choice to obey.

Hiss!

Those still hesitating took a collective breath in shock. From Qu Yi’s words, they sensed coldness, murderous intent, and dominance—leaving no will to resist.

“I am willing,” Zhu Chen said first.

“I am willing,” Zhao Jing, Zhen Lan, and Zhuo Rui also declared immediately.

The last four chieftains spoke willingly. They understood even better that since Qu Yi had the power to restrict their movements, he could also kill them instantly. Now, there was only one choice: to become Qu Yi’s slaves.

A secret like the Realm of Fallen Gods could never be revealed to those he didn’t trust.

The rest of the people from Tianfeng Fort naturally understood that their current choices determined their fate, and there was only one path left—to become Qu Yi’s slaves, otherwise death awaited them.
“I agree,” said all 19,000 people in unison.
Qu Yi nodded in satisfaction, then swept his consciousness across, entering the soul spaces of each member of Tianfeng Fort, imprinting his own soul mark on their soul orbs.
Now, everyone in Tianfeng Fort had become Qu Yi’s slaves.
After finishing everything, Qu Yi calmly looked at them all and smiled faintly, “Brothers, our relationship remains as it was before. I can assure you that as long as you don’t do anything to harm me, I won’t interfere with your freedom. Now, I’ll take you to the Divine Realm of the Fallen Realm.”
Hearing these words, all 19,000 people in Tianfeng Fort breathed a sigh of relief. At least they now knew the Divine Realm of the Fallen Realm truly existed. Even with their souls under control, they could still hope for advancement as divine kings, so they no longer felt so wronged.
Moreover, from Qu Yi’s words, they understood that he wouldn’t truly treat them like slaves but would only order them to do certain things at important moments. Naturally, such treatment allowed them to accept their status peacefully.
After speaking, Qu Yi immediately left the Dimensional Sphere and headed to the Mountain Range of Violent Beasts.
The chaotic energy in the Mountain Range of Violent Beasts was even stronger. Qu Yi used the Boundless Star Compass to traverse space, with the resulting spatial fluctuations being strongly suppressed so as not to be detected by the divine kings in the Divine Realm.
At this moment, Qu Yi landed in a canyon within the Mountain Range of Violent Beasts—precisely the Green-Striped Violent Python Canyon where he had taken refuge years ago to escape the pursuit of Qu Wantian, the mayor of Huoxin Town.
Qu Yi took out the Boundless Star Compass and fed it with chaotic energy, activating it.
The Boundless Star Compass suddenly formed a transparent shield, glowing with a burst of white light, before the shield, along with Qu Yi’s body, vanished abruptly.
There wasn’t the slightest spatial fluctuation throughout the entire Mountain Range of Violent Beasts, completely contrary to Qu Yi’s initial expectation that it would cause significant spatial disturbances. This unusual situation seemed as if someone was secretly helping Qu Yi conceal his presence.
Of course, Qu Yi himself was unaware of this.
The next moment, Qu Yi had returned to the Divine Realm of the Fallen Realm, back to the star region where he had waged war years ago.

By this time, the Meteor Domain Divine Realm had returned to peace. The devastating black energy that had existed when the exit passage to the realm was formed had dissipated.
Qu Yi landed on a planet and immediately spread his divine sense, sensing the presence of soul-bodied people on several surrounding planets, which filled him with joy. He then released all 19,000 people from Tianfeng Fort inside the Dimensional Ball.
The ten fort leaders—Zhu Chen, Zhao Jing, Zhen Lan, Zhuo Rui, Qing Yiyi, Yu Deming, Yu Chongxiu, Yu Zhuting, Meng Yan, and Fei Changxia—along with the 19,000 members of Tianfeng Fort, spread their divine senses as soon as they emerged and discovered the soul-bodied people, each of them filled with excitement.
“Brothers, you must have already noticed the soul-bodied people. From now on, hunt them in this Meteor Domain Divine Realm to obtain Soul Bead Balls,” Qu Yi called out happily, his face brimming with ambition.
“Yes, Fort King!”
All the people of Tianfeng Fort shouted in heartfelt response.
