Northern Domain, Youzhou.
In an unknown small village, a handsome man sitting on a tree picking fruit suddenly rubbed his forehead.
"Another one taken care of, huh."
The man was naturally Chen Zhixing.
Hmm, probably no one would have thought that after becoming a Star Monarch Taoist Lord and openly tearing faces with the Daluo Taoist Lands, his true self would be hiding in a small village in the Northern Domain.
Neither choosing the Southern Domain under the lights nor recklessly charging towards the Central Domain.
"But judging by the time, the last thought was taken care of just three days ago. As expected, the Daluo Taoist Lands are starting to be overwhelmed. Except for a few like Yimiao, no one is willing to continue hunting me. Instead, they are spreading manpower to guard some main mineral deposit sites, primarily as a defense."
This result was within Chen Zhixing's expectations.
How to put it.
After pursuing the instigator for some time and realizing he couldn't be eliminated, the Daluo Taoist Lands gradually recognized reality.
They must quickly deal with the unrest in their fundamental areas.
Yes, Chen Zhixing is very hateful, but if this continues, the daily asset loss... To put it mildly, in just half a month, the assets lost because of Chen Zhixing can't be estimated by numbers.
The volcanic ash covering the three states of the Central Domain, the six major rivers being breached, and forest and grassland fires occurring in hundreds of counties.
It's frighteningly ruthless.
No one expected Chen Zhixing to be so merciless and ruthless, truly giving the Daluo Taoist Lands no chance to breathe, vigorously aiming to destroy the Daluo Taoist Lands.
"This is just the beginning; even if I stop now and ignore it, the Central Domain will have its hands full next. Not to mention, just handling the massive influx of refugees due to natural disasters is a maddening problem. Add to that the inevitable grain price surge due to consecutive years of crop failures in the Central Domain, causing a wave of refugees and disaster victims, and it's an unsolvable problem."
To be honest, even if this situation fell on him, he would have a headache that made him want to die.
In a world where personal power cannot be restricted, someone like him, who is a Great Divine Power User, is essentially a walking natural disaster, capable of world-ending chaos if he goes mad.
"If such a thing happened only in one place or state, given the production and transport capability of cultivators, by concentrating resources for assistance, an affected state might just barely pull through. But faced with the current situation of my madness, unless the Three Great Sacred Lands compromise, the result would be the entire world being razed to the ground, making survival below the Nirvana Realm for cultivators a luxury."
Thinking of this, Chen Zhixing couldn't help but shake his head.
"Probably the existence of Noble Families is part of this too. After all, the average person's target of hatred often ends with the Noble Family. Even if they grow and seek revenge, having a Noble Family as an obvious target at most results in taking down one family, which is still within a bearable range for the entirety of the world, at least not like me, causing chaos throughout the entire Celestial Profound Realm like a madman."
If the Three Great Sacred Lands don't come forward to compromise, he won't stop.
And if he doesn't stop, the whole world will be ruined, punctured to the bottom after setting it on fire, leading to near-sinking when the penetralia are worn through, magma flooding the earth and the seas flowing back, filling the sky with volcanic ash, making breathing impossible for ordinary people.
When ordinary people are wiped out, it would be the high-tier cultivator's turn.
And then.
The Spirit Realm collapses due to a lack of supplies, forcing the Daoist Lords to devour each other. If such devouring can't even survive the 'years of disaster', then they would have no choice left but to devour the few remaining ones and take the seeds to leave the World Below, establishing a new world in the Star Realm, starting anew.
This sounds very exaggerated, but cultivators above the True Self Realm are both the rice fields for the Taoist Lords of the Spirit Realm, while ordinary people are the nurseries for nurturing True Self realm cultivators, causing the Taoist Lords to protect ordinary people in order to nurture enough cultivators above the True Self Realm to prey on.
This is a complete biological chain.
When all the ordinary people are dead, without those advanced from ordinary folk into the True Self Realm, relying solely on the Noble Family and Sacred Lands to produce high-tier cultivators wouldn't sustain the Spirit Realm Taoist Lords for long, let alone aiding in finding a new habitable planet in the Endless Star Sea to repopulate ordinary people anew.
"Ugh...." Thinking about such a situation where a group of Sacred Land pinnacle, even Longevity Realm powerhouses, would be forced to be devoured by stronger Taoist Lords to survive, waiting anxiously every day for their turn to be eaten, Chen Zhixing couldn't help but shudder.
"It's miserable just to think about it! If it really happened like that, Yimiao, that Old Witch, would probably be the first Longevity Realm to be devoured, right? Uh, so if I find a place to hide for a few hundred years, that Old Witch is definitely done for?"
This was just a joke.
Chen Zhixing wasn't stupid; if he really screwed up the whole world, before the Taoist Lords evacuate with the people, they would undoubtedly blow up the Celestial Profound Realm first, taking him down with the domain as the chief culprit.
Even without blowing up Celestial Profound Realm, if by then there's only him left alive in Celestial Profound Realm, what's the point of living?
"Therefore, forcing Yimiao to death is more reliable. As long as I continue causing chaos, the Taoist Lords who can't bear the loss will have no choice but to point the dagger at Yimiao. If she can't kill me, she'll be slaughtered by the Taoist Lords to make amends with me."
