The reconstruction of their homes was fraught with difficulties. The surviving craftsmen led ordinary people to search for usable materials from the ruins and rebuild their houses brick by brick.

Food shortages were another serious problem, and each ethnic group offered their treasured spiritual grains and plants, giving priority to the elderly, weak, women and children.

In this reconstruction, the old estrangement and disputes seemed to be diluted by this catastrophe. Humans and demons, monsters and underworld races, and even some races that had a long-standing feud, put aside their prejudices and supported each other to overcome the difficulties together.

Lu Lingxi Yao's contracted partners also played a huge role in this reconstruction. The Azure Dragon, with its powerful wood-elemental divine power, nurtured all things and repaired the earth's dragon veins.

Xuanwu draws water from the Milky Way to nourish the parched land and purify polluted water sources;

The Vermilion Bird's Phoenix True Fire burned away the remaining evil and brought warmth to the survivors in the cold night.

Led by the White Tiger, the metal-type demon beasts split mountains and rocks to rebuild the city.

Phantom Moon and Phantom Shadow, one wielding the wind element to clear the ruins, the other using the power of the magic vines to stabilize the foundation, Netherworld and Dark Night, each displaying their strengths, contribute their power to the revival of the Nine Realms.

Time passed slowly amidst the busyness and hard work. The land of the Nine Realms gradually regained a glimmer of life. Although there was still a long way to go before restoring its former prosperity, the seeds of hope had taken root and sprouted in the hearts of every survivor.

The war of the evil gods not only severely damaged the vitality of the Nine Realms, but also completely shattered the original power structure. Countless renowned powerhouses perished, and many once-illustrious families and sects vanished in this catastrophe. A new order urgently needs to be established.

On the Holy Spirit Continent, the royal families of several ancient kingdoms suffered heavy losses, and some long-established cultivation families were almost wiped out. In the end, at the initiative of Zisang Gucheng, Shangguan Yunqing and others, representatives of the surviving forces from all sides jointly formed the "Restoration Council". Instead of establishing a unified imperial power, they used a parliamentary system to jointly discuss and decide on the reconstruction and development plan. Zisang Gucheng was elected as the first speaker because of his reputation and wisdom.

In the Demon Realm, although Nalan Rongzhi is recognized as the Demon Lord, he spends most of his time with Lu Lingxi Yao. Xiling Qianluo, with her outstanding leadership and decisive methods in the war against the evil gods, as well as the profound foundation of the Xiling clan, has won the support of various demon tribes and become the de facto ruler of the Demon Realm. She works hard to govern, restore order in the Demon Realm, and restore production, winning the hearts of the people.

In the Demon Realm, Emperor Lin reorganized the Demon Emperor's Palace, gradually gathering together the scattered demon tribes, pacifying the people, and rebuilding order in the demon world.

The situation in the Underworld is the most complicated. Although the godhood of the Underworld King Canaan was inherited by Beichen Haoyu, Beichen Haoyu's mind was clearly not on ruling the Underworld. The Guifang clan was already sparsely populated due to the previous ancient war. In the end, a few surviving elders of the Guifang clan joined forces with some other ancient families in the Underworld that still had strength to form the "Underworld Guardian Alliance" to temporarily maintain the stability of the Underworld and begin to repair the cycle of reincarnation order that had been severely damaged by the power of the evil god.

After these new leaders and institutions were established, they began to try to establish cross-domain communication and cooperation mechanisms. They all deeply realized that the Nine Realms and Four Domains are a whole, and that we share the same fate. Only by uniting as one can we cope with any crisis that may arise in the future. Regular joint meetings of the Nine Realms and Four Domains began to be held in rotation in each domain and sector to discuss reconstruction priorities, coordinate the allocation of resources, and formulate common defense strategies.

The divine realm, the sacred Jade Pool.

Lu Lingxi Yao's body has fully recovered, and her cultivation has also benefited from the misfortune, showing signs of breaking through to the Divine Travel Realm. Her family and clansmen have also adapted to the environment of the Divine Realm and settled down in this sacred place.

On this day, Lu Lingxi Yao, Nalan Rongzhi, Di Lin, and Bei Chen Haoyu stood side by side at the top of the Divine Realm, looking down at the Nine Realms and Four Domains that were gradually recovering their vitality.

"The Nine Realms and Four Domains are our common home." Lu Lingxi spoke softly, her voice tinged with emotion. "The calamity of the evil god made us pay too heavy a price. Such a tragedy must never be repeated."

Nalan Rongzhi held her hand, "With us here, the Nine Realms and Four Domains will no longer easily fall into a desperate situation."

Di Lin nodded. "Protecting the Nine Realms and Four Domains is also our inescapable responsibility."

Bei Chen Haoyu, at this moment, also shed some of his past gentleness and gained more of the majesty of a god. "The Creator God opened up the five realms, and the four ancient gods established order. Now, this heavy responsibility of protection falls on our shoulders."

These four individuals, bearing the legacy of ancient gods, possess power far exceeding that of mortals. Their existence serves as a protection for the Nine Realms, and people have begun to respectfully call them "New Gods."

"From this day forward, we swear an oath." Lu Lingxi's voice clearly resonated throughout every corner of the Nine Realms.

"We, Lu Lingxi Yao, Nalan Rongzhi, Di Lin, and Bei Chen Haoyu, swear by our divine souls to forever guard the Divine Realm and protect the peace of the Nine Realms and Four Domains. If the Nine Realms are not in danger of collapse, the Divine Realm will never easily interfere with the development and evolution of each realm, allowing them to prosper naturally."

As the oath was uttered, it was as if an invisible force of law descended upon the world, acknowledging their promise.

Following that, Lu Lingxi Yao continued, "The Gate to the Divine Realm, sealed for countless ages, has now been reopened and can no longer be isolated as before. However, the Divine Realm is a pure land, and no one may set foot there at will."

After discussing with Nalan Rongzhi and others, she jointly formulated a new rule:

"From this day forward, cultivators of the Nine Realms and all other domains, regardless of whether they are human, demon, monster, or underworld being, whoever attains the Divine Realm and whose hearts are set on the Great Dao and who are worthy of Heaven and Earth, may, through their own power, sense the call of the Divine Realm, ascend to the Divine Realm, enjoy eternity, and comprehend even higher realms. However, those who commit crimes, defy the Heavenly Dao, and poison living beings, even if they are fortunate enough to ascend, will be stripped of their divine status and permanently expelled from the Divine Realm once verified. Those whose sins are most grave will be cast into the Nine Nether Hell, never to be reborn!"

This rule, like a divine decree, reveals the divine realm's attitude towards cultivators of the Nine Realms and Four Domains, offering both hope and setting clear boundaries.

In addition, considering the contributions and heritage of the ancient clans, they also made special provisions:

"The four ancient divine lineages—the Xiling Clan, the Tushan Clan, the Guifang Clan, and the Yueying Clan who made great sacrifices to seal the evil entity, as well as my Luling Clan members and the Tushan branch—the Xinlan Clan—their descendants, if of good character and excellent aptitude, can also receive priority guidance to sense the divine realm and step into this gate."

This is not favoritism, but rather an acknowledgment and return to those ancient clans who paid the price of blood and lives for the peace of the Nine Realms.

Lu Lingyuntian, Lu Lingchenxuan, Yueying Jiuge, and the others all showed relieved smiles on their faces as they listened to Lu Lingxiyao announce these decisions.

Their Yao Yao has truly grown up, possessing not only unparalleled strength but also the heart and wisdom to protect all living beings.
