Chapter 3524: Heading OutEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The next day, Fang Heng and the other two opened a teleportation passage and entered the dimensional world.

After the three of them teleported into the dimensional world, they floated in a vast starry sky.

All kinds of debris and scattered stardust drifted through the spreading expanse of stars.

The prism body in the God King’s hand released a faint stream of light that pointed toward the distance.

Fang Heng looked around.

The entire dimensional world gave the impression of a ruined starry sky, somewhat similar to the Endless Domain.

The difference lay in the space itself.

The space of the Endless Domain contained large amounts of turbulent currents and was in an extremely unstable state, whereas the space of the dimensional world was exceedingly solid, with spatial thickness thousands of times stronger than that of the Outer World.

This meant that using spatial power here required far more mental strength, and shattering space itself became extremely difficult.

"Fang Heng, let’s go."

Following the guidance of the stream of light, the God King led the three of them forward at high speed.

"When I was in the Endless Domain before, I had already heard about the Martial Apex Tournament. The five Kings of Gods had once received invitations. But as you know, in the Outer World, the power of us Evil Gods would be greatly weakened, so I heard that only the God of Decay participated at the time. After that, he participated every time, and later on, all five Kings of Gods went to take part."

Zane could not help but start the conversation, "Actually, I was curious before. These leading gods are all people who never act without profit. They clearly couldn’t win any ranking, so why did they rush over to participate every time, even abandoning their own hometowns? I really don’t know what was so attractive about it."

Fang Heng thought again of the four Kings of Gods who were still left in the Endless Domain.

They still had the power of the Void Abomination that had not yet been absorbed.

Judging by the time, at the fastest, in about a month and a half, the four Kings of Gods would finish absorbing the Origin Power.

He had to return as soon as possible to avoid any unexpected complications.

Zane looked at the God King and said, "God King, you and Versailles are old acquaintances. This shouldn’t be your first time attending the Martial Apex Tournament. Tell us about it?"

"Mm. I have known Versailles for a long time. Ever since I inherited the position of God King and met Versailles’s assessment standards, I have participated in every Martial Apex Tournament whenever it opened."

The God King nodded lightly and said, "This is an order set down by the first-generation God King of the Holy Realm. All God Kings must participate in the Martial Apex Tournament."

Fang Heng and Zane exchanged glances, thinking that this was actually connected to matters from the era of the first-generation God King. It really went back a long way.

The God King suddenly changed the topic and said, "Fang Heng, I heard from Aladdin that you want to advance to the Twelve Sages, is that right?"

"That’s correct."

"During the period when I was in seclusion due to the influence of Ouroboros, many things happened. The Holy Realm gradually lost control over the lower realms, indirectly leading to damage to the Holy Realm. The passage for initiating the Twelve Sages advancement ritual was also closed. During that time, many ritual items were lost. Restarting the ritual passage now would not be easy. Even if we rushed it, it would still take an estimated three years."

Fang Heng frowned. "Is there no other way?"

"There is." The God King nodded lightly. "The Martial Apex Tournament."

"Hm?"

Fang Heng frowned and said, "What do you mean?"

"The Realm Emperor."

The God King’s eyes carried a trace of reverence as he nodded. "The Realm Emperor is omniscient. If there is another advancement method, then he must know it."

"How can I meet the Realm Emperor?"

"If you can enter the top eight of the Martial Apex Tournament, you will be able to meet the Realm Emperor alone."

Fang Heng said, "That’s a bit too long. I don’t have that much time to wait."

"No matter. The eight Realm Venerables under the Realm Emperor are extremely powerful and also know many things. I believe the Realm Venerables will also be able to provide you with an answer to this question."

The God King continued, "Meeting a Realm Venerable is much simpler. In addition, the Realm Venerables will also give some targeted advice on rapidly improving one’s strength."

"Hey, God King, are they really as amazing as you say?" Zane chuckled and said, "I thought that guy before didn’t seem all that strong. What, have you fought him?"

"I have met the Realm Venerable, and I have also fought him. More precisely, I requested combat guidance from the Realm Venerable."

The God King’s expression was serious, with no hint of jest. "The gap between my strength and the Realm Venerable’s was immense, and that was already a long time ago. Because of the matter with Ouroboros, my strength has not progressed for many years and has instead declined somewhat."

"After so many years, the Realm Venerable’s strength will only have grown stronger."

Fang Heng quietly became interested.

The God King’s strength was not bad.

Stronger than the God King at his peak? Or was that from tens of thousands of years ago?

"As for the Realm Emperor being able to help you, I am confident of that, Fang Heng. Perhaps you are not aware of this."

The God King paused and looked at Fang Heng, speaking frankly. "The God-given Orb was actually bestowed upon the first-generation God King by the Realm Emperor."

Fang Heng’s pupils contracted sharply as he listened, deeply shocked.

"What did you say?"

"That’s right. The first-generation God King also participated in the Martial Apex Tournament. It is said that although he failed to advance into the top eight at the time, by a stroke of fortune, he was able to meet the Realm Emperor."

The God King nodded and said, "Afterward, he received guidance from the Realm Emperor, found the God-given Orb, and used it to establish the Holy Realm and single-handedly create the Holy Court."

"That’s interesting." Zane smacked his lips and continued, "But I find it strange. You say the Holy Realm’s power isn’t weak. Did the Realm Emperor just give it to you like that? What did he want in return?"

"Perhaps it was to alleviate loneliness."

The God King explained, "I heard that the Realm Emperor single-mindedly pursued the ultimate limit of martial arts. Holding the Martial Apex Tournament was merely to find opponents with whom he could fight to his heart’s content."

"Tch, sounds like he had too much time on his hands," Zane muttered quietly.

"For most of us, as long as we can participate in the Martial Apex Tournament and meet a Realm Venerable, we can gain some guidance from it. But how much one’s strength actually improves through that guidance depends entirely on oneself."

"In fact, back then, it was not only the first-generation God King who sought the God-given Orb after receiving guidance on power. Yet only the first-generation God King obtained the God-given Orb."

Fang Heng looked at the God King and said, "Speaking of the God-given Orb, there’s something else I want to discuss with you."

"Go ahead."

"I want to borrow the God-given Orb."

The God King glanced at Fang Heng and nodded. "Alright."

Zane was stunned just listening. "Wait, what? God King, you agreed that easily?"

"The first-generation God King once said that if one day someone wanted to borrow or take away the God-given Orb, as long as he could control it, then he should be given it."

Seeing Zane’s look as if he were staring at a monster, the God King shook his head and explained, "Don’t look at me like that. The Holy Realm has always been the guardian of the God-given Orb, not its master."

The God King then looked at Fang Heng again and said, "We have only one request. The Holy Realm has guarded the God-given Orb for generations. We hope to continue guarding it. Wherever the God-given Orb is, that is where the Holy Realm will be."
