Covering the Sky: I am the King of Men, and I rule over the rise and fall of all heavens.

Chapter 53 Failed Fishing

The topic changed so quickly that it took Jiang Bai a while to realize what was going on. He couldn't help but think to himself, "What a brother-obsessed guy."

The Harmony Flower is a bug-level existence in the world of Shrouding the Heavens.

Its effect is that it can allow the Great Perfection Holy Body to directly become an Emperor. In the original work, it was prepared for Ye Fan by a ruthless person, but Ye Fan did not use it. He successfully proved the Dao despite the suppression of all the Daos and the fact that the Holy Body could not prove the Dao. He even stepped into the Heavenly Emperor level in one step.

If it were used by the ruthless man's brother, Jiang Bai would probably only be an ordinary Great Emperor. This is even with the bonus of becoming an Emperor with the Holy Body. Otherwise, he would be the weakest Great Emperor in history.

With the intention of watching a story unfold, Jiang Bai and the ruthless man deduced the location of the Dao-Merging Flower.

The ending was somewhat disappointing; we didn't find it. You can only find this thing by sheer luck.

Even the ruthless one left in disappointment.

Five thousand years have passed since then.

After the ruthless man left, Jiang Bai had the faith puppets seal off the Divine Land World, making it impossible for anyone to enter.

This scene made all living beings in the universe tremble. Looking at the still lagging "transaction", all living beings in the universe made a bolder guess: In the past five thousand years, the ruthless empress has been helping Jiang Bai heal, but the effect is not very good.

When they saw the ruthless empress constantly traveling through the universe, searching for something, all beings became even more certain of their guesses.

Otherwise, why would the Empress be running all over the universe? She must be searching for a cure for the Human King.

Although everyone believed in the Empress's cultivation level and that her extraordinary talent would allow her to achieve the status of a human king in the future.

But that takes time.

Therefore, a group of people who were worried about Jiang Bai directly donated their essence to Jiang Bai through a transaction with the statue of the Human King.

This situation left Jiang Bai both amused and exasperated, but he turned around and poured the essence donated by all living beings into the desolate starry sky.

Because of the chaos and slaughter caused by forbidden zones in the past, and the exploitative cultivation methods that only took from the land without giving back, the universe of "Covering the Sky" contains a large number of barren star fields and planets.

Even though in recent years many have used the power of faith to nourish sacred land, reclaim wasteland, relocate populations, cultivate believers, and then collect the power of faith to enter a positive cycle of reincarnation.

But the time for governance is ultimately short-lived, and there are still vast areas of barren space in the universe.

Moreover, there are still many evil types who practice cultivation by killing off entire planets in order to cultivate demonic arts. They commit heinous crimes while constantly shouting that cultivation is free and that only by following one's true heart can one attain enlightenment.

When the life-giving rain of light blew from the divine land to the desolate starry sky, countless people knelt down to worship Jiang Bai and praise the greatness of the King of Men.

Even though the King himself was on his deathbed, he still thought of them and helped them open up new sacred places for cultivation.

Since King Jiang Bai attained enlightenment, the universe has never entered the Dharma-ending Age, an era of difficult cultivation, in the long span of hundreds of thousands of years.

The most striking feature is that the strongest of the ancient human road protectors, who were once only Great Sages, now have Quasi-Emperors in charge.

The same applies to the other ancient paths, including those of the demon race and the Holy Spirit.

This has elevated the overall strength of the entire universe to a new level.

And all of this is thanks to Jiang Bai.

Moreover, Jiang Bai's achievement of leveling the penalty area further enhances his reputation.

If it weren't for the fact that "King of Men" was an honorific title, no one would know Jiang Bai's real name; everyone would want to call Jiang Bai the Heavenly Emperor.

Seeing the overwhelming power of faith gathering in the sky, Jiang Bai instructed the faith puppets to continue using it to expand the divine land world.

After a moment's thought, Jiang Bai further immersed the Divine Land World under the myriad stars.

The faith puppets, harnessing the gathered power of faith, relentlessly eroded the chaos and expanded the area of ​​the divine land.

The shattered chaos gave rise to various resources in the expanded land, including imperial dragon energy similar to that of the Central Continent of the Big Dipper, as well as all sorts of crystals, spiritual springs, and divine springs. Occasionally, fragments of imperial weapons could be found in the shattered divine soil, remnants of what was swallowed by the overturned chaos during the destruction of the previous era and not yet fully digested.

In the original novel, when Ye Fan was opening up the Ten Pure Lands for the Heavenly Court before his path to immortality, he also unearthed something similar.

Looking at the expanding Divine Land World and then at the starry river above, Jiang Bai suddenly had a feeling that if the Divine Land World continued to expand like this, it would one day recreate the vastness of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths of yesteryear.

In the Perfect World, during the era of the Desolate Emperor, the powerful races lived on vast lands, not on planets.

It wasn't until the Great Purge began and the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths shattered that the races that hadn't entered the Immortal Realm abandoned their now-ruined lands and migrated to other planets to survive.

"Thinking about it this way, what I'm doing now is pretty great," Jiang Bai chuckled.

At this moment, looking at the various resources within the Divine Land World, Jiang Bai felt that he was following a management-oriented path.

As everyone knows, cultivation is divided into two schools: one is all about grabbing and exploring, without doing any research themselves.
One approach is the farming and management style, which involves being kind to others from the beginning and avoiding conflicts. It involves researching what one needs and growing and raising whatever resources one lacks. While this approach is slower, it is more reliable.

Five thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye. Jiang Bai's lifespan in this life is still sufficient, and the ruthless empress's second life has reached ten thousand years old.

But the two didn't catch the fish they wanted; neither the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone nor any being hidden deeper within appeared.

To this end, Jiang Bai would occasionally cause his King of Men mark to fluctuate, causing all the Dao to cry out in sorrow, pausing the "transaction" and causing the screen to go black for a few moments.

No one showed up.

"These bastards are really cautious."

In the later years of Ruthless Man's second life, Jiang Bai discussed with Ruthless Man about staging a fake delivery.

Jiang Bai and the Ruthless Man, both with heads full of white hair, awakened Lin Yun and summoned a large number of various lineages and clans with saints or above from the starry sky.

Still above the Divine Land World, Jiang Bai punched out a passage to the Strange World, spitting out a mouthful of blood. If it weren't for the ruthless man supporting the passage in time, it would have closed instantly.

The cosmic beings who traveled to the strange world were all grateful to Jiang Bai, saying, "Your Highness, you are such a kind person."

Even though you are critically injured and on the verge of death, you still want to give us a chance to live forever. We will never betray you and will conquer the entire strange world as soon as possible, bringing back the substance of immortality to save you.

After Lin Yun led his men inside, Jiang Bai nervously headed towards the strange world.

"Sigh, in the end, I still didn't catch anything." Just before the goal was achieved, Jiang Bai withdrew his leg, looked up at the universe, and sighed.

Hidden in the shadows, the members of the restricted area, who were constantly observing, cursed inwardly. "Just as I thought, my dad was right, you're too cunning."

The ruthless man sat down cross-legged on the spot without expression, and began his transformation in front of everyone, giving you another temptation.

The King is old and frail, and the current emperor is in a deep sleep. Why don't you take a gamble?

The outcome was still no gambling; no supreme being from the forbidden zone appeared, and no mastermind behind the scenes emerged.

Even if the ruthless one in the middle showed some "problems" when breaking free from his old body, no one showed up.

"The plan failed because those people were too patient."

In the end, Jiang Bai could only smile helplessly at the ruthless man who had completed his transformation.

After the ruthless man refined his old body into the Devouring Demon Jar, the two went back to their respective homes and did their own things.

In the chaotic sea, the Flying Immortal Waterfall floated above Burial Sky Island and the Holy Spirit Ancestral Land. The seductive voice of the Undying Emperor rang out: "See? He's worse than me. He really wants to kill you all."

"Fellow Daoists, join me, and I will lead you into a wondrous world, and even to immortality."
