Chapter 357: Chapter 356: The Worldâs Great Trend!
Du Gang originally thought that Kou Yingwuâs side wouldnât be able to get much useful information, but to his surprise, they actually managed to capture a person and obtained a lot of information.
âThey caught a demon, a mole rat. Luckily, Kou Yingwu knows a bit about earth escape techniques, thatâs how they caught him!â
Kou Yingwu, getting more information than Du Gang, bragged a few times and was promptly muted by Du Gang. So, Tao Xuanzhu was the one in charge of communication on that end.
Du Gang nodded and straightforwardly said: âGet to the point, whatâs the situation in this world?â
Tao Xuanzhu quickly said: âFrom what we got out of the demon, this world has three realms: Heaven, Earth, and Human.â
âWe are currently in the Earth realm, the Heavenly realm is damaged, and the Human realm can only be accessed through specific channelsâŠâ
She first briefly explained the geographical division before continuing:
âThis world just experienced a huge upheaval, leading to major force consolidationsâŠâ
âAll in all, it can be divided into three major forces!â
âThe first one consists of three forces in the Earth realm, named Heavenly Court, Divine Church, and Demon Court. Although these three forces are from different organizations, they form an alliance in offense and defenseâŠâ
Tao Xuanzhu thought for a while, then added: âApparently, these three major forces didnât see eye to eye before, but with the other two forces being strong and united, they had to join forces. In summary, this force can be called the Earthly Force!â
âThe representative figures number seven; the four leaders of the Heavenly Court are Hong Yu, Li Zhu, the Seal-Bearer, and Feng; in the Divine Church, they are Hong Kun and Qian Emperor; the Demon Court, being the weakest, has just one Demon Emperor.â
âAccording to that mole rat,â Tao Xuanzhu continued, âthese seven, or rather, the most powerful in this world are now of this tier, known as the Transcending-Eight powerful, and can be considered to have reached the Heavenly King level of cultivation.â
Heavenly King? Transcending-Eight?
Du Gang was taken aback and quickly asked: âWhat about the Emperors? And the Heavenly Emperor?â
It was their mission to kill Emperors and the Heavenly Emperor, and this force didnât have any Emperors or a Heavenly Emperor amongst them?
Tao Xuanzhu shook her head, âThe mole rat said the Emperors disappeared tens of thousands of years ago, and havenât appeared since. For the last few thousand years, the Earth realm was supposedly ruled by someone called the Earth Emperor. However, this has been proven to be a hoax, and itâs actually the Earth Emperor son pretending to be himâŠâ
Du Gang frowned. Could it be that these Emperors are lurking in the shadows?
He shook his head, not dwelling on the thought and said, âKeep going!â
Tao Xuanzhu nodded and continued:
âThe second force is also in the Earth realm, but not on this continent. One must cross the Sea of Death to reach another place called the Original Martial ContinentâŠâ
âThis second force is said to mainly practice body cultivation, known as ancient martial artists, with every one of them being incredibly strong after their body transcends into holiness!â
âThere are nine individuals at the Transcending-Eight Heavenly King level, they are: Holy Martial God, Fist God, Underworld God, Spear God, Palm Sky, Illusion, Sky Arm, Stick Holy, and Broken Knowledge.â
She paused for a bit, noticing Du Gang not interrupting, and continued:
âThe third force resides in the Human realm, and there are three Transcendental-Eight strong individuals- Fang Ping, the God-Casting Sage, and Wang JinyangâŠâ
âThe reason why the Human realm could form the third force is because thereâs a Transcending-Nine strong individual called the Ruling Heavenly KingâŠâ
âUnder the Heavenly King level, this force doesnât bother to mention, while those reaches Heavenly King level are based on the number of heavens they can break. If you can break several heavens, you can be considered a Transcending-N Heavens King. Hence, a Transcending-Nine Heavens King means one can break through the ninth heaven. Their attack power is terrifying.â
Du Gang nodded and asked: âThe demon you caught, whatâs his strength?â
Tao Xuanzhu sighed, âNot very strong, this mole rat only has the strength of a Sector Lord level, not even considered a spirit god.â
Du Gang frowned, âAt that level, can he really know about the strongest existence of the three major forces? Didnât you just say that the forces just recently consolidated?â
When he was a Sector Lord, he didnât have any idea about the Primordial Continent. He didnât even begin to understand some of the continentâs situation until he reached the True God Level.
He finds it hard to believe that a Sector Lord level demon could already know the division of the major forcesâ most powerful beings?
Tao Xuanzhu began, âI thought about this issue too. The reason why the mole rat knew this was because a man called Wind-Cloud Daoist appeared in these three realms. He created a ranking list called the Wind-Cloud List and inscribed the strongest beings of all major forces onto steles, and spread them out to the worldâŠâ
âWind-Cloud Daoist?â
Du Gang squinted his eyes, among the three major forces Tao Xuanzhu just introduced this man isnât mentioned at all.
Tao Xuanzhu quickly said: âThis world is not only made up of these three forces with Transcending-Eight powerhouses.â
âAccording to the mole rat, there are other Transcending-Eight powerhouses in the world, they just didnât join any of the three forcesâŠâ
âAmong them, this Wind-Cloud Daoist is one of them, and is said to also have Transcending-Eight strength.â
âApart from that, outside the Sea of Death is a Chaotic Divine Kingdom with four Transcending-Eight individuals. Because itâs far from the mainland and too far from the center of the turbulence, they werenât considered as the fourth major forceâŠâ
âThese four Transcending-Eight powerhouses are Chaos, Tian Chen, Heavenly Dog, and Stone Break.â
Tao Xuanzhu paused once again, and then continued: âAlso, there are some lone practitioners with strength transcending eight, the most famous among them is Moon Spirit, said to be the daughter of an EmperorâŠâ
Du Gangâs eyes lit up, âWhat is the name of that Emperor?â
âNorth Emperor!â
Tao Xuanzhu was surprised, she didnât understand why Du Gang was asking about the name. They all came from the True Heavenly Court, itâs not like they could know the natives here, right?!

Zhang Xinyi didnât pay attention to Du Gang and continued laughing, âThe Heavenly Court is always powerful, casting its image across the heavens, even here, there is a Heavenly CourtâŠâ
Du Gang, however, didnât hear what she said. At this moment, he recalled the novel he once read on Earth called âGlobal High Martial Artsâ.
Because he found that these names just mentioned almost coincide with that novel he had read before.
At first, he didnât think the names had any relation to the novel, he was imagining possible connections with some movie or television drama series.
It wasnât until Fang Ping and Wang Jinyangâs names appeared that Du Gang remembered that novel.
However, the problem was that Du Gang did not finish reading the novel back then.
Back then, the novel was not completely updated on the piracy website before the apocalypse happened.
âWhat a pityâŠâ
He shook his head and sighed. If he had finished reading that novel, he might have some idea about the plot development in the future.
âWhatâs a pity?â
Zhang Xinyi looked at him in confusion.
Du Gang shook his head, not saying anything.
While he was on Earth, he only read the part of âGlobal High Martial Artsâ where Fang Ping accomplishes supreme success. After that, he barely read anything.
It seems that now Fang Ping has achieved even greater success, reaching the stage of Transcending-Eight Heavenly King.
After a sigh, he gathered his emotions and quickly analyzed the intelligence in front of him, weighing it against what he already knew.
It took him almost quarter of an hour before he looked up, speaking to Zhang Xinyi, while simultaneously sending messages to Tao Xuanzhu and the others.
âFrom what I can see, those who have broken through the eighth and ninth tiers, might well be entities just as powerful as usâŠâ
He paused, not bothering to hide the truth: âI think I have encountered Fang Ping, an eighth tier powerhouse from the Human World. His strength is at the initial stage of True God Level, so accordingly, those at the ninth tier might be at the peak of the True God Level.â
The now ungagged Kou Yingwu posed a serious question: âThen why canât those at the ninth tier possibly be at the Celestial God Level?â
Du Gang, expecting such a question, explained calmly: âIf those at the ninth tier were Celestial Gods, then the Earthly World would have long been overrun by the Human Worldâs Titan King, unifying all the other factionsâŠâ
The gap between Celestial Gods and True Gods is significantâseveral peak True Gods would not be able to withstand a Celestial God.
Even in this world, where it is limited in size, torn by conflict, and the boundaries of power levels are blurred, itâs not so easy to cross over these boundaries.
Therefore, the Titan King is most likely an entity at the ninth tier.
Du Gang nodded, making a definitive conclusion: âThe Imperial Seat, undoubtedly, represents an entity at the Celestial God Level!â
Kou Yingwu frowned, âThatâs not right. Our task is to ascend from the True God to the Celestial God level. Does it require us to kill a Celestial God? Isnât that a joke?!â
Du Gang smiled, âWhat you said appears to be correct, but please consider: our task is a team task!â
âWe, as a team of four, are undertaking this mission. It doesnât feel like much to us, but think about it, typically such advancement missions are attempted by teams of 20.â
âThis implies that it takes 20 peak True Gods to complete this task. Do you believe that the Emperor can only be at the peak of the True God Level?â
Kou Yingwu opened his mouth to rebuff, but found no grounds to argue. He had to admit Du Gang was right.
âTwenty peak True Gods battling a single peak True God⊠Ok, you win, the Emperor is a Celestial God. But isnât this task a bit hostile towards us?!â
Du Gang pondered for a moment before speaking: âIf the task merely required twenty peak True Gods to kill a Celestial God, it would be meaninglessâŠâ
âBecause in that case, the purpose of the reincarnators is to find a way to break through to the Celestial God Level in this world. If just one of the twenty manages to break through, they can complete the mission. But the chances of that happening are slimâŠâ
âAfter all, weâre here with our True God cultivation levels in order to complete our ascension!â
If True Gods could easily evolve into Celestial Gods, there would be no reason for so many people to abandon the comfort of their lives, taking the risk of death by entering the Heavenly Court.
Du Gang nodded: âI speculate that this Celestial God entity, in all likelihood, has certain limitations, or more specifically, the Celestial Gods in our small world here are not complete, and less powerful than those in the main world!â
âDespite not being as powerful, the Emperor here must still be greater than the combined power of twenty peak True Gods. Otherwise, the mission would have no meaning.â
He recalled his memory of observing the global high martial arts world and finally said: âYou guys should come back. Letâs all work together!â
He now had a general understanding of the current situation.
Mission two, Mission three, and Mission four are essentially related to the Emperor, who has managed to remain hidden until now, steering the game from outside the board.
It wouldnât be too difficult to find them. After all, the world is only so big; if they ever make a move, theyâre bound to expose themselves.
Since they are the puppeteers of this world, they must control some pieces.
He didnât completely finish reading âGlobal High Martial Artsâ, but he does know that the protagonist Fang Ping has a golden hand.
So he wondered, could Fang Ping be the so-called piece of the Heavenly Emperor?
Could these other entities, who have broken through the eighth or even the ninth tiers, also be pieces moved by other Emperors?
In the past, these Emperors could lie low and take their time making moves.
But now, with the arrival of the Reincarnators, each one a peak True God equivalent to a ninth tier entity, total chaos is inevitable.
So, he just needs to find a place to sit back and enjoy the spectacle.
There are three major forces in this world; wanting to know the workings of this world, the Reincarnators would certainly go to these three forces.
Leave aside whether these three forces can withstand the onslaught, the moment the Reincarnators meet, theyâll most likely find themselves at odds with each other.
After all, thereâs a limited number of Emperors, and there might be only one Heavenly Emperor. This means that there can only be one victorious team in the end.
Not to mention, Mission One, which requires each team to hunt down at least 20 other Reincarnators, making peaceful coexistence all but impossible.
Soon, Kou Yingwu and Tao Xuanzhu returned without any trouble.
âDu Gang, why the sudden change of mind?â
Tao Xuanzhu was surprised; this was the first time she had seen Du Gang change his mind. freeweÉnovel.cŃłm
In every world, Du Gang always acted like a prophet, with each step certain of its purpose.
The strategy initially planned was for the four of them to split into pairs. That way they could avoid detection⊠but nowâŠ
Du Gang chuckled, âIn this world, nearly all of the strongest entities are out in the open, with few hidden ones. We would still be suspected by any other Reincarnators we run into even if we split into pairs, so thereâs not much point to itâŠâ
At first, he wanted to lie low amidst the masses, hiding among the human cities, just as in the previous world.
But now, with a limited number of strong entities and with that Rank of the Worldâs List by the Daoist Wind and Cloud in existence, pretending to be natives would be foolish.
âSo where do we go?â
Tao Xuanzhu was somewhat worried, âOn my way back I was thinking, since the Emperor is hiding, it must be related to those three forces, or even connected. Therefore, if we wish to complete the task, we still need to make contact with themâŠâ
Du Gang smiled, shaking his head: âThereâs no need to be impatient!â
âEven if the other Reincarnators find the Emperor, do you think they can beat him?â
He laughed saying: âAnd besides, the Reincarnators are also in a kill-or-be-killed state. Apart from us, there are nine other teams. Let them fight while we enjoy the show!â
âEnjoy the show? And where are we supposed to do that?!â
Tao Xuanzhu was taken aback. Even if they want to watch the show, they need to be aware of other Reincarnatorsâ situations and the various forces in play.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up, âAre you saying, Death Seaâs Chaotic Divine Kingdom?!â
âCorrect!â
Du Gang nodded, laughing: âGiven the current state of affairs, the Reincarnatorsâ teams, unless completely stupid, will head for the three forces at the center of the vortex⊠After all, the Sea of Death is far from the mainlandâs center, itâs a barren land with limited information, and not a battlefieldâŠâ
âSo, weâll head for the Sea of Death!â
