I tricked you into thinking you had the makings of an emperor, but you actually did it?

After soaking in the Immortal Pool, Shen Ming was about to go and check on the stone core.

Unexpectedly, the Holy Lord of Yaochi arrived with a group of Supreme Elders.

Each of them looked as if facing a formidable enemy, their expressions grim.

Shen Ming sneered. It seemed that Yaochi Holy Land couldn't hold back any longer.

The mysterious incident just now was most likely orchestrated by the Holy Land.

Qin Yao's face was filled with panic. This was an unexpected situation. Why didn't they tell her they were going to take action?

She wanted to run towards the Holy Lord, but she was afraid that Shen Ming would punch her to death, since the two of them were so close.

"Holy Emperor, please save my Jade Pool!"

Unexpectedly, the Holy Lord of Yaochi made up his mind and humbled himself.

"Holy Emperor, please save my Jade Pool!"

The other elders followed suit and spoke up.

"Holy Lord?" Qin Yao was confused. Wasn't everything going smoothly?

"What happened?" Shen Ming sensed that something big had occurred.

"God's wrath has occurred!"

The mention of the word 'divine wrath' filled the Holy Lord of Yaochi with apprehension and fear.

Just now, divine wrath erupted in the Middle Three Realms and the Lower Three Realms.

All ethnic groups, religions, and holy sites suffered calamities, and their very origins were plundered.

"The Heaven-Mending Sect was not spared either," said the Holy Lord of Yaochi.

"what?!"

Shen Ming's expression changed drastically; he had never been to the Heaven-Mending Sect in the Sixth Realm.

However, Miaozhen is still the Holy Maiden who mends the heavens.

He was also the divine son of the Heavenly Patching Path.

The Heaven-Mending Divine Tree was forcibly separated from the Immortal Vein, causing damage to the Immortal Vein and the destruction of the Daoist Temple.

Fortunately, the wrathful god only robbed and did not kill, leaving only the cult leader seriously injured.

The Holy Master of Yaochi was worried that they would be next, so she could only place her hopes on Shen Ming.

"Is it not just the Sixth Realm, but also the Lower Three Realms experiencing divine wrath?" Shen Ming asked.

He comes from the lower realms, where all the people he cares about are.

The so-called wrath of the gods is a harvest, a harvest of all living beings and treasures that can only survive in the lower realm.

Shen Ming was worried about the immortal spirit inside the Eternal Palace.

They were worried about the black dragon on the Xuanhuang Continent.

"How much do you know about divine wrath?" Shen Ming asked.

"Heaven and earth have gods. When evil deeds that are abhorrent to both gods and men occur, divine wrath will descend. Whenever divine wrath occurs, it marks the end of an era."

Shen Ming snorted coldly. Did the heinous act that aroused the wrath of both gods and men refer to his rampage of killing, or did he intend to change the situation between the upper and lower realms?

The lower realm is essentially a breeding farm.

The wrath of the gods is a means of reaping, and its suddenness is due to the threat posed by Shen Ming, which caused the gods to begin ahead of schedule.

However, where the gods came from and how they did these things remains a mystery.

Based on what one sees and hears on the moon, this is something that no Dao state or immortal sect in the upper realm could do.

Shen Ming thought of the Divine Court!

Click!

Just then, a deep, dark crack spread across the sky above the Yaochi Holy Land, and some terrifying force tore open the barrier between heaven and earth.

An ancient and cold aura emanated from the crack, as if a deity that had been silent for millennia had opened its eyes.

At the same time, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth above the Immortal Pool suddenly became chaotic.

The once calm, mirror-like pool began to surge violently, and the surging celestial light appeared wild and restless.

"God's wrath has descended!"

The entire Yaochi Holy Land was gripped by fear, and despair was evident in the eyes of the Holy Lord.

They could still find a way to deal with Shen Ming.

But the gods are angry and indifferent.

The celestial pool began to boil, and its spirituality was being stripped away.

The sacred land's celestial veins are undergoing tremendous impact.

The earth shook violently, and the protective mountain formation, which had not been attacked, was on the verge of collapse.

Not only that, Shen Ming also discovered that the Daluo Palace had become a target.

A force of void ignored all obstacles, entered the void, and locked onto the Undying Phoenix.

"Original Heaven Divine Eye, activate!"

Shen Ming leaped into the air and looked toward the crack.

In the midst of chaos and nothingness, he saw the girl named Miaoran from before.

The pale golden light exuded a solemn and subdued charm.

No longer the simple white robes and light gauze of the celestial pool, but an extraordinary divine garment covering her body, with gold and silver threads interwoven into intricate divine patterns that flow endlessly in the sunlight, as if an ancient galaxy were engraved on the lapel.

Miao Ran looked at him and waved her hand gently.

The void rift expanded, enveloping Shen Ming within it.

The crack hadn't closed, and you could see outside.

The outside world seemed to stand still.

The expressions on everyone's faces in the Jade Pool Holy Land froze.

Shen Ming had never seen this kind of power in the Dao Lord before; it was the direct use of the power of rules.

“Our conversation wasn’t over yet, Shen Ming. Now that you’ve disrupted one balance, what kind of balance do you plan to replace it with?” Miao Ran asked.

"Who are you? Or rather, what kind of being are you?" Shen Ming asked.

“I asked you first. How about we take turns asking each other questions?” Miao Ran said.

“I haven’t figured out a new way to achieve this balance,” Shen Ming said.

"So you're going to destroy all of this? Do you know that with the formation of the Nine Realms, our combat power ceiling is constantly rising, and the number of our Dao Lords is constantly increasing?" Miao Ran said.

"We? You mean we, the nourishment in the lower realms?"

Shen Ming said, "If that's really the case, those in the upper realm who reap the benefits haven't given the sacrifices in the lower realm the respect they deserve."

“The ancestors of the Upper Realm were the founders, and many people in the Lower Realm spend their entire lives without knowing these things. The Sovereign Realm on the Xuanhuang Continent can live peacefully and freely, so why do you need to wake them up?” Miao Ran said.

"Many people in the Upper Realm know nothing about this. So what are you and yourselves?" Shen Ming asked.

The Antarctic Immortal was unaware of these things, and the vast majority of those in the Upper Realm were even less aware of them.

"It's not important." Miao Ran didn't want to answer the question.

"I see."

Shen Ming's words made her pause.

"You knew already?"

"Heaven and earth are ruthless, treating all things like straw dogs; the way of heaven does not care about the fate of all races."

Even if a continent is shattered into pieces, in the eyes of Heaven, it is no different from a lush forest.

Therefore, the restrictions of the Heavenly Dao are absolutely impossible to be wrong; even the Divine Court could not achieve such power in the lower realm.

You are indeed a Primordial Dao Body, originating from the Lower Three Realms.

Like me, they are chosen by destiny, selected by the will of a world.

The destined people are to rebel against the fate of the lower realm, but you have chosen the path of the gods, incurring divine wrath and helping to plunder the lower realm.

I wasn't wrong, was I?

Finally, Shen Ming cast a sharp glance.

Miao Ran showed surprise for the first time.

"The lower realm is incomplete, and its laws are flawed, which often gives birth to powerful beings, such as the immortal phoenix. In the upper realm, it would be impossible for such beings to grow up so easily; they would likely perish prematurely."

Then, using special cultivation methods, just like what you did on the moon.

Only in this way can we…

"Don't say 'we,' it makes me sick," Shen Ming interrupted her impatiently.

"Then let's go back to the original question! What is your method of balance? If you have a better way, please tell me!" Miao Ran said excitedly.

Shen Ming, however, revealed a bright smile.

He spoke slowly under her puzzled gaze.

"I do not care."
