Chapter 1349: Building Goodwill

Each of the elders sent here was completely stunned when they saw Yi Tianyun. They doubted their own eyes. How could the first-place winner of the God Territory’s War of Ascending to Heaven have become a Domain Lord?

Wasn’t that gap a little too much? To gain control over the Chaos God Territory, you’d need at least God Monarch cultivation. Could it be that the winner of the Ascension Battle had already broken through to God Monarch?

But how long had it been since then? Just a few years, ten at most. For them, that time passed in the blink of an eye.

Let alone breakthroughs, most of them hadn’t gained even a little insight. Yet he had already reached God Monarch? Even for a genius, that was far too monstrous!

So little time had passed, and he’d already far surpassed them?

“That’s right. I am the one who placed first in the God Territory’s War of Ascending to Heaven. If there hasn’t been a new one held since then, I’m still the most recent champion,” Yi Tianyun admitted with a calm smile.

There was nothing to hide. In a first-rank God Territory, he didn’t have many enemies to speak of. So showing his face openly wasn’t a big issue.

After he confirmed it, all the elders froze again. They were shocked by the bombshell. They’d expected the new Domain Lord to be some fierce and ruthless figure, who knew it would be an old acquaintance?

Back then, Yi Tianyun was still considered a junior and wasn’t even on their level. Now, he had left them far behind!

“Could it be… he was sent here by a second-rank God Territory?”

That thought immediately popped up in their minds, perhaps a second-rank God Territory sent him here to establish a presence, and the real power behind him was Heavenly Spring God Territory!

That explanation was the easiest for them to accept. It made more sense if he was sent by Heavenly Spring God Territory, rather than building it all on his own. Not only the others, but even Nian Ciyu thought the same thing.

Everything had happened too suddenly, so suddenly that they instinctively couldn’t believe Yi Tianyun had done it independently.

Boom!

A terrifying force descended from the sky, making their legs go soft, they nearly fell to their knees. After just a brief moment, the pressure vanished. Cold sweat soaked their backs. Only Nian Ciyu was unaffected by the pressure.

But even she could feel a horrifying power from Yi Tianyun. Seeing the condition of the other elders, she knew this wasn’t something simple.

“It wasn’t any second-rank God Territory that sent me. I came here to create my own faction. You all don’t need to overthink it,” Yi Tianyun said calmly.

The elders were now deeply shocked beyond compare. Yi Tianyun had used his strength to prove he was far more powerful than any of them! Just his aura had already scared them senseless. Now they understood, Yi Tianyun wasn’t relying on a powerful backer. He was powerful himself.

And now that he revealed his true intentions, they were even more stunned.

“Don’t worry. I harbor no ill will toward you. I only wish to build good relations with everyone. I have no ambitions toward the other God Territories. As long as everyone coexists peacefully, that’s all I ask. But if anyone dares to invade my territory, don’t blame me for being merciless!”

As he spoke those last words, his aura surged again, intensifying the pressure around them.

Yi Tianyun truly had no interest in other God Territories. What he wanted now was peaceful development, to strengthen his forces and aim for second-rank God Territory status! He had no desire to remain in a first-rank God Territory, where resources were limited. It couldn’t compare to what second-rank domains offered.

Nian Ciyu’s expression was complex. She didn’t expect the little junior she once mentored had now become a Domain Lord. Meanwhile, she was still just a successor, waiting for the Tianyu Domain Lord to retire before she could take over.

Who knew how many years that would take? At the very least, right now she couldn’t compare. Yi Tianyun had already established himself through strength alone, something she couldn’t do yet.

“Yes, yes, of course… we’re here to build goodwill. This is a little congratulatory gift from our Domain Lord!”

“We’ve brought a gift as well, just a small token of goodwill from our Domain Lord!”

The elders quickly responded and stepped forward to offer their gifts, various spiritual herbs. All were respectable offerings. Yi Tianyun signaled to the guards to accept everything, without a trace of politeness.

Nian Ciyu also stepped forward to offer her gift. Their goals here were twofold: to offer congratulations and to investigate. Now that the investigation was complete, they had achieved their mission.

“I’ve received your goodwill. I’ve also prepared a gift in return,” Yi Tianyun said with a smile as he clapped his hands, signaling the guards to bring something in.

The elders were puzzled. What kind of return gift could Yi Tianyun possibly be offering? Was he really so generous?

Soon, a number of cultivators were brought in. Their cultivations had been crippled, they were basically useless now. From appearances alone, they were broken men, filled with despair and hatred. Their eyes were full of venom as they looked at Yi Tianyun.

Yi Tianyun ignored their looks. It was perfectly normal for them to glare at him like that.

“Aren’t those the criminals we’ve been hunting in our God Territory?”

“That one too, we’ve had a bounty on him for ages!”

One by one, the elders were stunned. How were these fugitives here? And already punished?

Nian Ciyu recognized one or two as well, offenders who had committed serious crimes in the Tianyu God Territory and had fled. No one had known where they’d gone. Who would’ve guessed Yi Tianyun had already captured them?

“I wonder… would you all consider this a fitting return gift?” Yi Tianyun asked with a faint smile.

At that moment, they finally understood what a “return gift” truly meant, and it was indeed a major one! They had placed heavy bounties on these fugitives without success. Some of them were extremely powerful and had to be let go due to the risks involved.

For example, one God Monarch-level criminal would require massive resources to capture, possibly even leading to greater casualties. Now that these criminals were captured and handed over, how could this not be considered a grand gift?

This was a gift of enormous value, so much so that it shocked and delighted them. What had once been a thorn in their side was now effortlessly resolved. How could that not be a gift?

“Yes! This is an incredible gift! Domain Lord Tianyun, you are truly wise!”

“Many thanks to Domain Lord Tianyun! When we return, we’ll certainly report this to our Domain Lords!”

“To be able to build relations with Domain Lord Tianyun is truly our honor!”

They were all very pleased with this gift, completely unexpected and immensely helpful. They had feared meeting a tyrant, but now it seemed their fears were misplaced. Yi Tianyun genuinely intended to establish friendly relations.

Everyone was extremely satisfied. They all felt that Yi Tianyun truly intended to build good relations with them and wasn’t just messing around. Especially with the grand gift he provided, it was exactly what they wanted and genuinely pleased them.

Bringing it back, their Domain Lords would undoubtedly be thrilled.

Nian Ciyu was equally satisfied, though she still felt very conflicted inside. She couldn’t understand how Yi Tianyun had cultivated to such a level. Could it be that simply going to a second-rank God Territory would allow for such an explosive breakthrough?

She didn’t quite believe that. It was more likely he had come across some major opportunity! Only with such fortune could someone advance so rapidly.

Regardless, she now knew that the Domain Lord of this God Territory was Yi Tianyun, once one of their most outstanding disciples. Now, he had become a Domain Lord. From this point forward, he would be a powerful ally.

They didn’t stay for long. The visit had been just a diplomatic one; no one had intended to stay for pleasure. Each of them happily departed with the captured criminals. They had to return and report everything to their own Domain Lords and then discuss forming alliances. After all, they weren’t authorized to decide such matters on their own.

Once they left, Nian Ciyu remained behind. The main hall was now just Yi Tianyun and Nian Ciyu.

“Elder Nian, is there anything else?” Yi Tianyun asked.

“Nothing really. Our Heavenly Edict Divine Territory would like to form an alliance with you, mutual support and cooperation. What do you think?” Nian Ciyu smiled slightly and immediately made the decision.

While the other elders needed to report back for instructions, she was effectively half a Domain Lord already. Unless the matter was extremely serious, she could make decisions on her own. And though this was a significant matter, an alliance with Yi Tianyun only had benefits and no downsides.

“I have no objections to that at all. Then let’s have a successful partnership,” Yi Tianyun stood up and smiled as he walked down from the throne.

His intention had always been to form cooperative relationships with the surrounding God Territorys. That way, he wouldn’t be surrounded by enemies. He had no desire to conquer the world; he just wanted to steadily grow stronger. Only after reaching sufficient strength would he consider conquest.

Right now, his overall power was still lacking. Even if he was strong personally, it would be hard to sustain things alone.

“A successful partnership,” Nian Ciyu smiled and then asked, “By the way, what do you plan to name this God Territory?”

In her view, this was now Yi Tianyun’s God Territory. It couldn’t possibly still be called the Chaos God Territory, could it? That would clearly be inappropriate.

Yi Tianyun thought for a moment and then smiled: “Let’s call it the Three Realms God Territory!”

“Three Realms God Territory?” Nian Ciyu repeated it a few times and then laughed. “That sounds a little strange. A God Territory is just one world, how can it be called the Three Realms?”

“Well… just think of it as three worlds.” Yi Tianyun chuckled without explaining further.

He wasn’t about to name it Tianyun God Territory, that would be even weirder. He wasn’t arrogant enough to name an entire God Territory after himself. “Three Realms God Territory” sounded pretty good and was based on his former world.

“Alright, then it’s the Three Realms God Territory. I’ll head back now and report all this to my father. I hope our cooperation goes smoothly in the future.”

Just as Nian Ciyu was about to leave, she suddenly thought of something. She turned around and said, “I’m really glad that you’ve reached such a high level of cultivation. But I hope you’ll continue advancing steadily, without rushing, and don’t become arrogant. I know you’re stronger than me now, but this is just a reminder…”

With that, she left.

Yi Tianyun smiled and shook his head, muttering to himself: “So she sees me as a lucky upstart who stumbled upon some fortune and thinks I’ll just go wild…”

He understood why Nian Ciyu had warned him. Some cultivators, after rapidly increasing their cultivation, would feel invincible and immediately start seizing power or seeking revenge. The moment they didn’t like someone, they’d go straight to war. There were plenty of people like that.

After gaining some fortune or top-tier inheritance, acquiring a pile of treasures, it was natural to become arrogant and conceited.

But Yi Tianyun wasn’t that kind of person. He had never been arrogant. He understood the world was vast and full of countless experts. His current cultivation was just the beginning, barely enough to get a foothold. There was no way he’d act cocky.

He appreciated Nian Ciyu’s reminder. At the very least, she wasn’t afraid to speak her mind just because his cultivation had surpassed hers.

“If someone actually sees me as just another lucky upstart… that would be hilarious…”

He figured there were bound to be people who thought that way. The only question was, which God Territory would act on it? Still, since he had built so many alliances, he believed most God Territories wouldn’t dare interfere easily.

Very soon, the name Three Realms God Territory began to spread. The surrounding God Territories quickly allied themselves with him. Few knew exactly why alliances were being formed so quickly, and even fewer knew how smoothly it had gone.

Yi Tianyun’s help in capturing fugitives wasn’t made public. The other Domains were experienced, they knew what to say and what not to say. If word got out, the criminals hiding in the Three Realms God Territory would riot.

With support from the surrounding God Territories, the Three Realms God Territory became even more stable. Those cultivators who understood what was going on all believed that joining the Three Realms God Territory had been a wise choice. So many God Territories were seeking to form good relations, it was clear this new Domain was strong and safe.

As time passed, the territory of the Three Realms God Territory became fully stabilized. Especially with the fortifications provided by the Divine Spirit Race, they finally enclosed and protected the Three Realms God Territory, forming a perfect line of defense.

Years passed in the blink of an eye. Yi Tianyun remained stationed here for several years. This was the most peaceful time for him, just sitting in his palace, occasionally meeting diplomatic envoys or making major decisions.

As for external enemies, there were none for now. The resources in a first-rank God Territory weren’t enough to attract the attention of a second- or third-rank God Territory. Everything progressed peacefully and steadily.

“Ding! Successfully completed the main quest ‘Relocate the Three Realms into the God Territory region and become a first-rank God Territory’! Reward: 1000 compressed Crazy Points, 1000 compressed Evil Points, 1000 compressed Proficiency Points. Additionally, you’ve obtained a new title: ‘I Am the Domain Lord!'”

I Am the Domain Lord: Within your own God Territory, damage is increased fiftyfold. All intruders have their power halved (scales according to their cultivation level). You can also instantly appear anywhere within your God Territory, no need for any teleportation stones.

Yi Tianyun was stunned by this title. He hadn’t expected it to be so powerful. Just the damage boost alone was incredible, but it also came with debuffs for intruders and the ability to teleport anywhere instantly!

This was truly a god-level title. It meant he had truly become the master of this place. As long as he remained at home, who could possibly threaten him?
