Prison of Wood or Purgatory of Primordial Chaos!
Previously, Lu Li had asked He Yue to deliver some messages. All disciples of the four major families and other powerful warriors of the Heaven Reverse Universe all went to Prison of Wood in case those from the nine universes would put on a killing spree at the Heaven Reverse Universe in a fit of rage.
Therefore, recently, the Prison of Wood had been quite lively. A large number of warriors were crowded in the Prison of Wood and Inferno. Other dozens of cities were built in the Inferno or else, those people would be homeless.
Ming Yu was managing Inferno and Lu Zhengyang the Prison of Wood. Patriarch of Law Enforcement had been minding less business lately. He enjoyed the quiet days alone. Under the invitation of Jiang Qiling, Bai Xiashuang, and Bai Qiuxue, he went to the Valley of Cherry Blossoms to stay.
Jiang Qiling had stopped cultivating recently. Upon reaching the Semi-God Realm, to her dismay, she realized she was having difficulties in taking a step further. Maybe, it was because her fast progress previously was due to the legacy of Emperor of Heaven Reverse, which had not laid a solid foundation for her. When Lu Li left, she cultivated for several times without achieving anything. Lately, she decided not to cultivate at all and would take care of Lu An.
Bai Xiashuang was never fond of cultivating. Bai Qiuxue was the only one that would cultivate quietly. She was not a restless girl. She had obtained the fourth and fifth levels of the Enchantment. She was determined to learn the two levels, which would enable her to become an immortal so she could travel to the Divinity with Lu Li.
It was unfortunate that a forefather of the Fairy Foxes that had ascended to the Divinity worked out the two levels which were abstruse and sophisticated. For the time being, Bai Qiuxue had not achieved anything.
Today was a sunny day. Lu Zhengyang was not busy, so he came over with Great Grandpa Five. Jiang Tianshun and others came as well to chat and drink tea with Patriarch of Law Enforcement.
They took seats in a bamboo forest in the Valley of Cherry Blossoms, talking and sipping tea. Though they did not touch upon the subject that Lu Li went to the nine universes, they were all somewhat worried.
“Whoosh~”
From a yard in the distance came a noise. Following that, a beautiful girl flew out and dashed over.
“Wait?”
Patriarch of Law Enforcement looked over, surprised to see that it was Jiang Qiling. She was a prudent lady. Why was she in such a hurry? Why would she fly over and not walk here?
“Great grandpa, Grandpa Lu, Grandpa Jiang, Great Grandpa Five!”
Jiang Qiling came over. Before she steadied herself, she had said with joy, “My husband just sent back a message. He has conquered the nine universes and is going to wipe out the Yan Family. He told us to get ready to move to the nine universes. He is going to let Lu Family rule the Earth Imperial Universe!”
“What?”
Even the usually calm Patriarch of Law Enforcement could not help but sand up all of a sudden. He was pleased. Lu Zhengyang, Jiang Tianshun, and Great Grandpa Five were so excited that they were trembling.
It had been a year since Lu Li went to the Divinity. There had been no news before. If it were not for the fact that his jade talisman of life was intact, they would have thought he had passed away. All of a sudden, a piece of news came. Lu Li had conquered the nine universes all by himself!
As a matter of fact, they knew little of the nine universes. Last time, so many Semi-God Realm warriors came from the nine universes. Also, Lu Li had provided some brief information about the nine universes. He told them that the four major universes were all hundreds of times larger than the Heaven Reverse Universe. How vast the nine universes were! How many warriors there would be?
“This is amazing!”
Patriarch of Law Enforcement burst into tears of joy. He had never been so excited before in his life. After his soul was reconstructed, the family bond valued less to him. Being affected by the late Grand Master, his entire mind was on the development of the human race.
Finally, humans of the Heaven Reverse Universe were given such a chance. They could explore a vaster land. They could step out of the Heaven Reverse Universe to compete with others in the nine universes.
“My grandson!”
Lu Zhengyang wept happily. His grandson conquered the nine universes all by himself. He had opened up a road to Lu Family and the Heaven Reverse Universe. He was the most authoritative person in the nine universes. Lu Zhengyang felt honored.
“So impressive!”
Jiang Tianshun exclaimed. Once again, he recalled what it was like when Lu Li first visited the Demon-slaying Battleground. Back then, Jiang Tianshun did not think much of Lu Li and disliked the fact that Jiang Qiling wanted to be in a relationship with Lu Li. Who could tell then that a kid from the Northern Desert could stand at the peak of the nine universes and conquer that vast world on his own one day?
“Let’s go to the King Kong City!”
Patriarch of Law Enforcement said after he walked up and down for a moment. “Gather all patriarchs of the Demon-slaying Hall and Family Patriarchs of families fourth rank and above. Come to King Kong City. Let’s discuss the relocation to the Earth Imperial Universe.”
“Great-grandpa!”
Jiang Qiling added, “Lu Li said he will have He Yue’s subsidiary body contact you directly. You can ask her should you have any questions. The relocation can start after you have reached a conclusion.”
“Thank the heavens, great!”
Patriarch of Law Enforcement nodded. “Zhengyang, go ahead and gather everyone at the King Kong City. I will talk to Lu Li to find some answers.”
“Yes!”
Lu Zhengyang and Jiang Tianshun brought Patriarch of Law Enforcement’s message to the King Kong City. Following that, many pieces of news spread across the Prison of Wood, Inferno, and the entire Heaven Reverse Universe.
The Heaven Reverse Universe was seized in thrill. Many people wept in joy as they retold the information to others. Almost all the taverns and tea houses were filled with people. Almost everyone was talking about this, dreaming about the future, imagining when Lu Li fought against warriors in the nine universes…
Of course!
Many people also had concerns. Many families were having secret meetings to discuss.
Moving to the Earth Imperial Universe would open up a path to a promising future for people in the Heaven Reverse Universe, a path for competing for hegemony.
That being said, it was difficult to say goodbye to home. Many people felt bonded to the Heaven Reverse Universe, unwilling to leave. Staying far away from home in a strange place, a new world, was not accepted by many people.
In addition, the Earth Imperial Universe would have a large number of indigenous people and local families. While the Lu Family would be protected by Lu Li, he and the Lu Family could not take care of everything. At the Earth Imperial Universe, there were going to be disputes with local families. Some families were worried that they could be exterminated before they could settle down.
While the small families were worried, bigger families had their own concerns as well. At the Earth Imperial Universe, the bigger families would have to follow the leadership of the Lu Family and depend on the Lu Family.
Lu Family would be the ruler of the Earth Imperial Universe. Lu Li would enjoy his fame. There would be countless warriors to come and serve him.
During the first few years, the Lu Family would remember the old friendly families. But after decades or hundreds of years, the families from the Heaven Reverse Universe could be elbowed out by other affiliated families, falling victim to plots. The families would not be able to stay at the Earth Imperial Universe. What should they do then?
Besides, when the Lu Family moved to the Earth Imperial Universe, the Heaven Reverse Universe would be without an owner. Some families were coveting the Heaven Reverse Universe. They believed, if they could take control of the Heaven Reverse Universe, they would be able to enjoy the fast rise as well.
The Heaven Reverse Universe’s chaos was hidden underneath the blanket of jolly mood. One thing was certain, though—people of the Heaven Reverse Universe felt proud and elated. They would hold their chin up, treading on air, just like even the dog swaggers when its master wins favor.
Patriarch of Law Enforcement discussed with Lu Li via the subsidiary bodies of He Yue to determine about the relocation. Patriarch of Law Enforcement announced to the public that all warriors above the Eternal Realm could move to the Earth Imperial Universe.
Lu Li was going to establish an empire. All the warriors that relocated to the Earth Imperial Universe from the Heaven Reverse Universe would become subjects of the new empire, protected and supported by the empire.
