"I just overestimated that Zhao Gusheng, couldn't hold back my strength, what do we do now?"

The third brother pointed at the Immortal Domain Continent on the ground, which was split in half, and said somewhat awkwardly.

In the recent exchange, the third brother looked at Zhao Gusheng, who seemed full of prestige and a bit intimidating, so he used all his strength to chop him. Who knew the opponent was just a paper tiger, crumpling up in one strike, and then he couldn't stop his power, directly splitting the entire continent of the Great Woe in half.

As the Immortal Domain Continent was split open, the waters of the Great Sorrow Sea emerged, and now between the east and west sides of the continent lay an immensely vast Sea of Sorrow.

The World Origin has now been captured, and Zhao Gusheng has been beaten and fled. The battle was indeed won, but... now the Great Woe Immortal Realm is a complete mess, with the continent also chopped into two halves.

Now, the work of stabilizing the situation has increased in difficulty by several levels.

The elder brother pondered and immediately thought of something, his eyes lit up.

"I have an idea."

"Since the Great Woe Immortal Realm has been divided into two, it should be renamed as the Eastern Woe Immortal Realm and the Western Woe Immortal Realm."

"You will rule the Western Woe Immortal Realm, and I will rule the Eastern Woe Immortal Realm."

"In the process of the next hundred thousand years, the two Immortal Realms we each rule must battle against each other, continuously waging war."

"To the outside world, it would seem like we have fallen out and split."

"But in reality... it's our strategy."

Upon hearing this, the third brother's eyes lit up, immediately expressing his agreement.

He had once been a Heavenly Dao in the Lower World for a long time and knew a truth: "Great eras produce geniuses, and chaos produces heroes."

For a continent to develop rapidly, it needs an internal sense of urgency, which is driven by war.

If the whole Great Woe was peaceful and stable, development would slow because too much comfort isn't a good thing.

Back then, the Great Woe Immortal Realm established the Four Great Realm Masters for this reason. The territories under the four masters secretly contested and waged wars, with great ages and wars ever-present, resulting in countless geniuses rising to prominence.

Now, the elder brother and the third brother were also ready to emulate this model.

Then upgrade the model to make it more urgent and more intense.

With the Sea of Sorrow between them, the geographical division between the two continents was already very clear.

Moreover, the elder brother and the third brother would intentionally fall out, creating a situation where both sides wanted to annex the other, so the sense of urgency would be heightened.

"The elder brother is indeed impressive!"

The third brother admired his elder brother from the bottom of his heart, whether in terms of methods or strategy, surpassing him by several levels.

No wonder he was the longest by the master's side, having much higher strategic acumen than himself.

"Although we have a hundred-thousand-year period to develop."

"But thirty thousand years of it will be used to restore vitality, leaving only sixty thousand years for development."

"Because the last ten thousand years would be the preparation period for war. How many worlds do we currently control?"

The elder brother inquired.

At this point, the third brother took out a compass from his sleeve, examined it for a while, and then slowly said: "Fifty-three Lower-Rank Immortal Realms, eleven Middle-Rank Immortal Realms, and just the one Upper-Rank Immortal Realm of the Great Woe."

"As for lower ordinary worlds beneath the Immortal Domains, more than a thousand."

Hearing this, the third brother thought for a moment and asked: "Including the Middle Lower-Rank Immortal Reams under the command of the Great Woe Immortal Realm?"

"Let me calculate..."

The third brother waved his hand, and an Ancient Bronze Abacus appeared, flicking the beads on it with imperceptible threads of time and space faintly visible at his fingertips.

After calculating, the third brother raised his head and said deliberately: "The Great Woe governs thirty Lower-Rank Immortal Realms and three Middle-Rank Immortal Realms in total."

"Now that we've taken over, we control a total of eighty-three Lower-Rank Immortal Realms and fourteen Middle-Rank Immortal Realms."

After finishing the calculation, the third brother's eyes lit up.

"Indeed, attacking an Upper-Rank Immortal Realm is the most worthwhile. Although it takes a very long time, seizing one indirectly conquers dozens of Middle Lower-Rank Immortal Realms!"

...

"In this light, the value of one Upper-Rank Immortal Realm is higher than hundreds of Middle Lower-Rank Immortal Realms combined," the third brother said with a smile.

In response, the elder brother replied:

"Not entirely."

"We must attack higher Immortal Realms, but we can't ignore the lower ones, and even more so the Lower Worlds below the Immortal Domains should not be discarded like trash."

"Because often, those with great fortune, the Celestial Mandate children, are born in lower realms."

"Just like this Zhao Gusheng, as far as I know, he ascended step by step from the lower realm to the Upper Realm, becoming a Domain Master of an Upper-Rank Immortal Realm."

"So, third brother, you must pay attention. When those lower worlds produce some amazingly talented individuals, they shouldn't be underestimated, staying alert because they might become formidable commanders under the master in the future."

Hearing this, the third brother nodded earnestly, saying: "I understand."

"Alright, let's separate now."

"Remember what I said, from now on, we are enemies on the surface."

"You will rule the Western Woe Immortal Realm, I will rule the Eastern Woe Immortal Realm, and for the next ninety thousand years, we must continuously wage wars to stimulate the development of the Immortal Realms."

Hearing this, the third brother also smiled and said: "Alright!"

...

Thirty thousand years later, in the Eastern Woe Immortal Realm.

Under a pagoda tree in a small city.

"This... is where our Eastern Woe Immortal Realm and Western Woe Immortal Realm came from!"

The storyteller slammed the wooden clapper in his hand, bringing the enchanted audience back to reality.

At this time, a small three or four-year-old child in the crowd, with two runny noses, asked the storyteller: "Mr. Qin, you haven't told us why our Eastern Woe Immortal Realm and Western Woe Immortal Realm are enemies?"

"Didn't you just say that, thirty thousand years ago, we were all one family?"

"My mother told me that family is the closest, so why would family fight against family??"

Upon hearing this, the surrounding onlookers burst into laughter.

"Whose child is this? He's quite cute."

"Such a fair and clean little fellow, with strong roots too. Whose young master is this?"

"Isn't this the young master of the Yang Family? How did he end up here alone?"

.....

At this point, Mr. Qin, the storyteller, looked at the little child with the runny nose and unfolded the folding fan in his hand, smiling as he said:

"Today, I shall tell you a bit more."

This announcement was met with enthusiastic applause from the audience.

"Thirty thousand years ago, our continent had no division between east and west, nor was there any Eastern Woe Immortal Realm or Western Woe Immortal Realm."

"Thirty thousand years ago, there was just one complete territory, known as... the Great Woe Immortal Realm!"

This was just a small town within the Eastern Woe Immortal Realm, with a history of less than five thousand years, so the residents here were mostly unaware of the major events from thirty thousand years ago.

Although they've heard of the major events from thirty thousand years ago, they only know fragments, passed down by word of mouth from the elders in their families or found in some broken ancient histories, none of which are complete.

"Mr. Qin, why did the complete continent become two?"

This time, a young teenager with a delicate appearance in the crowd asked.

Once the question was raised, everyone looked towards Mr. Qin under the pagoda tree.
