Mortals get a golden finger for immortal cultivation every year

"You don't understand, do you? The Guanghan Realm and the Kunlun Realm have long been bound together. Even if the Moon Goddess doesn't want to have anything to do with the Kunlun Realm, the connection is already unbreakable. So it's not something she can decide. Even if she wants to get rid of the Kunlun Realm, the people in the Heavenly Court Realm will have to accept it."

"Besides, you can rest assured about the Moon Goddess's character. Even though the Guanghan Realm has fallen to such a state because of the Kunlun Realm, she will absolutely not sever ties with the Kunlun Realm because of this. You don't need to doubt that. Moreover, with the Moon Goddess's help, the situation of the Kunlun Realm in the Heavenly Court Realm will be much better."

After hearing Zhao Shuang's words, Nalan Danqing fell silent, neither choosing to believe nor disbelieve, but simply nodded silently without saying anything more.

"Alright, the Kunlun Realm is now in your hands, and the Empress's will be. I have complete confidence in you two to manage it well."

Zhao Shuang, seeing the silent Nalan Danqing, surprisingly tried to encourage her again. Nalan Danqing ignored Zhao Shuang's encouragement, because she didn't want Zhao Shuang to leave at all, as her departure would be a huge loss for the Kunlun Realm. If the Kunlun Realm originally had a 100% chance of winning the Holy War of Merit against the Heavenly Court and the Hell Realm, now it was at most only 50%.

Under these circumstances, how could she possibly want Zhao Shuang to leave? But if Zhao Shuang didn't leave to help the Guanghan Realm, then the Guanghan Realm would be in great trouble.

In this situation, there was really no choice at all, so Nalan Danqing didn't know what to say.

……

"Alright, stop being so upset. I guarantee that nothing will happen in either the Kunlun Realm or the Guanghan Realm. I can make that promise to you. If there are any problems with either of them, just come and settle the score with me. Is that alright?"

Looking at the silent, even sullen, Nalan Danqing, Zhao Shuang felt somewhat helpless.

He really liked this female confidante, and because he liked her, he didn't want her to be sad or upset, so he could only offer words of comfort.

In short, it is absolutely impossible for him to stay in the Kunlun Realm; the consequences of staying would be unpredictable.

"I understand what you're saying, but I don't want you to leave me."

After saying this, Nalan Danqing's cheeks even flushed slightly, revealing a hint of girlish shyness, which was completely different from her usual image, but it made Zhao Shuang quite moved.

"Don't worry, I'm not dead. I'm just going to the Guanghan Realm to help them through this calamity. Rest assured, nothing will happen. I can assure you I've planned this perfectly. Both the Guanghan Realm and the Kunlun Realm will definitely survive this calamity. Otherwise, why would I leave the Kunlun Realm? Right? I have a deep affection for the Kunlun Realm. If I didn't, why would I have imparted so many Great Dao Divine Powers and helped so many cultivators in the Kunlun Realm achieve perfect physiques? You must know that even in the great worlds of the Heavenly Court Realm, getting cultivators to achieve perfect physiques is no easy feat; the resources required are astronomical. A world with even a few perfect physiques is already quite impressive. But look how many perfect physiques I've cultivated! At least eight hundred, if not a thousand, right? Under these circumstances, how could the Kunlun Realm possibly lose?"

"If Kunlun Realm loses in this way, then it can only mean that Kunlun Realm is destined to be this way, and it has nothing to do with us."

Seeing that Nalan Danqing's complexion hadn't improved much, Zhao Shuang was somewhat helpless and said in a rather irritable tone. His words made Nalan Danqing feel as if he had caught her red-handed.

"If you stay, even so, the Kunlun Realm will definitely have a chance to survive this calamity."

"So why can't you stay? Just send your younger brother to the Guanghan Realm. With his abilities, he is a successor of the Time and Space lineage. Although his potential is slightly less than yours, I believe he has enough confidence to help the Guanghan Realm overcome this calamity. As long as they can survive this Holy War of Merit, the Guanghan Realm, as you said, will have no problems afterward. So why can't you stay?"

Nowadays, Nalan Danqing is like a unreasonable and capricious girlfriend, insisting that Zhao Shuang stay no matter what.

"Of course I know he has this ability, but the premise is that all the perfected physiques in the Kunlun Realm are not on the Merit Battlefield. Otherwise, he has no chance. After all, even he is only at the Supreme Perfected Physique. Under such circumstances, if so many perfected physiques were to attack him, even he would not be able to withstand it. Only if I am with him do we have some hope of helping the Guanghan Realm overcome this crisis. I hope you can understand. I know you don't want anything to happen to the Guanghan Realm, and you don't want anything to happen to the Kunlun Realm either, so I hope you can understand me a little."

Zhao Shuang's words plunged Nalan Danqing into silence once again, until he finally uttered something that left Zhao Shuang speechless.

"Could it be that you've really fallen for that moon goddess, and that's why you want to help her win her heart?"

Upon hearing this, Nalan Danqing immediately shut his mouth, shocked that he had uttered such a jealous remark. Zhao Shuang was speechless after hearing it. Because the Moon Goddess resided within his body, she could undoubtedly hear their conversation, especially the last sentence.

"Little girl, who do you think he's taken a fancy to?" As Zhao Shuang pondered how to respond, a noble, ethereal, and sacred voice resonated within him. The moment this voice appeared, divine light showered down from the sky above them, revealing a graceful, breathtakingly beautiful face and figure, beyond description.

Especially since this body was enveloped and highlighted by divine light, it was impossible to find any flaws.

"Moon Goddess, don't bother with a little girl like her. I think you know her identity, so please don't argue with a little girl."

"Besides, what she said is true. I have indeed taken a liking to you. There's nothing I can do about it; you're just so beautiful. You know, countless gods in the entire Heavenly Realm and Hell Realm have their eyes on you. So, isn't it perfectly normal for them to be interested in you? If I weren't interested in you, wouldn't that mean your charm has diminished? That's not a good thing. How can the charm of a dignified Moon Goddess diminish? Right?"

Zhao Shuang frantically racked his brains for words, and his choice of words made the Moon Goddess sneer.

"It seems you really care about this little girl. I didn't expect you to say that. It's quite surprising."

"Moon Goddess, look at what you're saying. I wasn't just praising your unparalleled beauty. You could say your appearance is the most beautiful in the entire Hell Realm and Heaven Realm. It's only natural that I'm attracted to you, isn't it? I'm just attracted, I haven't disrespected you, right? So please don't be angry, okay? Besides, I'm going to your Guanghan Realm to help you get through this Holy War of Merit. If we don't make it through this, then all the living beings in your Guanghan Realm will have to migrate to this Kunlun Realm. Fortunately, our Kunlun Realm is large enough to ensure that all the living beings in your Guanghan Realm can migrate here."

Zhao Shuang's words, in their final moments, carried a hint of threat. If the Moon Goddess were to hold a grudge against Nalan Danqing now, then if anything were to happen to the Guanghan Realm, migrating to the Kunlun Realm would be absolutely impossible. Why the Kunlun Realm specifically? Firstly, the two realms had a good relationship; secondly, the Kunlun Realm was an eternally indestructible world, especially after the holy war 10 years ago. Many areas within the Kunlun Realm were now unused, perfectly capable of accommodating all the beings of the Guanghan Realm—arguably the ideal location. If Nalan Danqing were truly offended, and given that Nalan Danqing was now the overseer of the entire Kunlun Realm, then the Guanghan Realm's desire to migrate there would be utterly delusional. Therefore, her final words were essentially a threat to the Moon Goddess not to retaliate, and the Moon Goddess, in reality, didn't. Even though she was petty, she wouldn't stoop to the level of a mere girl. "Alright, I'll listen to you this once and not hold what happened to this little girl. But you must remember your promise. You must come with me to the Guanghan Realm and help it get through this Holy War of Merit. If we can get through it, you can stay in the Guanghan Realm or leave, and I will definitely not treat you unfairly. But if we can't get through it, you must think carefully about the consequences."

The Moon Goddess's words were laced with threat, and Nalan Danqing's face darkened immediately after she finished speaking.

Just as he was about to say something, Zhao Shuang stopped him with a look, and then agreed with a smile.

"Moon Goddess, you can rest assured. Since I promised, I will definitely be able to do it. There will be absolutely no mistakes. If I can't even do this much, then I would really be unworthy of my past reputation, right? If I don't even have this much ability, then I would really be unworthy of the illustrious reputation I have earned in the past."

"So you can rest assured, there will be absolutely no mistakes, I assure you there will be no mistakes."

"Okay, just remember your words. Don't let me down. If you do, I will definitely not let you off the hook."

After saying this, the Moon Goddess disappeared once again. With the Moon Goddess's disappearance, the immense pressure that Nalan Danqing had felt as if she were walking on an abyss was completely swept away, allowing her to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Now you know there are some things you can't say carelessly, right? And I really have my eye on the Moon Goddess. She's the most beautiful woman in both Heaven and Hell, how could I not be interested? Right? You should know how lustful I am. So it's perfectly normal for me to be interested in her, so you don't need to be too surprised. As for whether we can be together, that depends on our luck. If we're lucky enough, we can be together, and if we're not, then there's nothing we can do. Anyway, don't interfere in what's between us this time."

"If you get too involved, you might end up getting yourself involved, especially since the Moon Goddess isn't very shrewd."

"So you have to be careful when you talk to me in the future, and never say anything bad, otherwise I may not be able to protect you. You were lucky this time, the Moon Goddess was in a good mood. If you wait until the Moon Goddess's mood turns bad, and you say those words again, then no one can save you."

Zhao Shuang's words of advice made Nalan Danqing nod, and she didn't say anything more.

"Alright, I've said everything I needed to say. Whether you can understand it or not is up to you. As a friend and brother, I've done everything I said and did. Whether you accept it or not is your business. I also hope you can understand and not be too concerned about some things. There are some things you don't need to know. Knowing too much is not a good thing. You don't need to know that much right now. You can learn more when you are strong enough. Right now, you need to wait until the Holy War of Merit ends. At that time, you can break through to the Saint King realm. Once you break through to the Saint King realm, you will know many things. Because in the Heavenly Court Realm, only Saint Kings can barely be considered experts. As for those above the Saint King realm, they generally don't act easily because the destructive power is too great. Therefore, they will choose to send their subordinates instead."

"However, even after breaking through to Saint King, you should not rush to break through to Great Saint, because there are still some things that need to be done by you. These are still matters related to the Kunlun Realm, and only you can do these things. The price that others would have to pay to do them would not be a little bit, but a lot, a lot, a lot. Therefore, I hope you can understand."

As he finished speaking, his tone became much heavier, and Nalan Danqing understood the burden Zhao Shuang was carrying, so he nodded in agreement without any hesitation.

"Don't worry, I will handle those matters well and will absolutely not cause you any trouble. However, I also hope you understand that the Kunlun Realm still cannot do without you. It would be best if you didn't leave the Kunlun Realm. If the Kunlun Realm loses you, then it will not be an easy task for the Kunlun Realm to survive this Holy War of Merit." (End of this chapter)
