Mortals get a golden finger for immortal cultivation every year

"May I ask you for one more favor? It's not difficult, you just need to agree."

Just as Zhao Shuang finished speaking and was about to leave, the Moon Goddess hesitated before saying something.

"Tell me, I'll do my best as long as it's within my power."

Seeing the Moon Goddess's expression, Zhao Shuang frowned, as if realizing something, and nodded.

"Could you please stop calling him that pig? He is one of the nine great war gods of Heaven, and it's really... Although I have no feelings for him and have never thought about being with him, and I can only apologize for his feelings for me, he has helped me a lot after all, so I hope you will stop calling him that pig."

The Moon Goddess revealed what she wanted Zhao Shuang to do.

This title had followed Bian Zhuang, the God of War, for over ten thousand years. It could be said that even she couldn't stand it anymore, which is why she made this request.

"Don't worry about that. This is a personal grudge between the two of us. His actions back then infuriated me, so I beat him up like a pig. There's a reason I called him 'that pig,' of course. He's facing a calamity, and in that calamity, he'll become a pig. Whether you believe it or not is up to you. In short, he will become a pig; I didn't make a mistake with that title. And it's just a title. If he can accept it, great; if not, there's nothing I can do. I won't change it, so don't worry. I absolutely won't change it. Alright, I've said everything I needed to say. Whether he accepts it or not is his business. If he comes after me because of that title, I can assure you I won't kill him because of it. Of course, if he goes too far, I will kill him. Anyway, he'll face that calamity sooner or later. Whether he survives it or not, he'll die once. After death, he'll enter reincarnation, and in reincarnation, he'll become a pig."

Zhao Shuang's words made the Moon God frown even more, but in the end he could only sigh. After all, he had said what he needed to say, and saying anything more would only anger Zhao Shuang.

"Be extra careful this time in the Holy War of Merit, and don't be careless. The Holy War of Merit today is different from the one 100,000 years ago. Many geniuses have appeared in the Hell Realm. Although they can't cause you any harm or influence, you absolutely cannot use power exceeding the Saint King level this time. If you do, you may be disqualified. Therefore, I hope you can be patient and not use power exceeding the Saint King level."

The Moon Goddess then returned the main topic to the Holy War of Merit, because this was the most important thing, at least for him.

"Don't worry about me, I won't encounter any accidents. However, you must be extra careful. After all, you now possess a divine artifact, and the gods of the Underworld must already know about it. They will definitely try every means to target you. But this is also an opportunity for you to kill more gods of the Underworld. As long as you can kill a few gods of the Underworld, the future of the Guanghan Realm can be said to be smooth sailing. Having a few gods of the Underworld to nurture the cultivators in the Guanghan Realm can make the cultivators in the Guanghan Realm have greater potential and stronger strength. This is definitely a great thing for the Guanghan Realm. You can't let such a good thing pass you by. Moreover, with a divine artifact, killing gods of the Underworld is not difficult for you at all."

The topic was repeated again, leaving the Moon God with no choice but to nod helplessly. He knew that what Zhao Shuang said was true, but only if he could kill the gods of the underworld. The gods of the underworld would naturally not want to be killed, so they would definitely target him from multiple angles.

"Alright, I've said what I needed to say, and I've also said what I shouldn't have. Just tell that pig what I just said. You see, I shouldn't have said these things in the first place. That ordeal was extremely important to that pig, and he'd better not even think about surviving it. Because it was an ordeal he couldn't survive. If he did, then an even more cruel ordeal would follow. If he managed to become a pig again during that ordeal and had a sliver of hope, then trying to force his way through the ordeals that follow would mean he wouldn't even have the chance to become a pig again. So he needs to be very careful. I'm saying this for his own good, whether he believes it or not, I just want to give him a sliver of hope."

After saying this, Zhao Shuang waved his hand and said no more. The Moon Goddess nodded silently to indicate that she understood, and then left and disappeared.

After the Moon Goddess disappeared, Zhao Shuang went to the library of the Guanghan Realm to search for information about the Ancestral Spirit Realm. After all, the Ancestral Spirit Realm was not part of the Heavenly Court Realm 100,000 years ago. Because at that time, the Ancestral Spirit Realm did not have any gods, it could not become a world of the Heavenly Court Realm. However, even if it had become a world of the Heavenly Court Realm, it still could not escape the fate of extinction. After all, the Ancestral Spirit Realm only had one god, unlike the Kunlun Realm or the Guanghan Realm, which had more than one god. Under such circumstances, the chances of survival were naturally greater.

He remembered that the deity in the Ancestral Spirit Realm had some connection with the old bald monk.

The old bald monk placed the sun and moon in that ancestral spirit realm.

However, what is the current situation? We will only know after we arrive in the Ancestral Spirit Realm; whether it still exists is still unknown.

Zhao Shuang quickly gathered all the information about the Ancestral Spirit Realm. It had to be said that the deity of that realm was truly powerful, incredibly powerful. However, even with such power, he ultimately couldn't escape his fate of annihilation. In truth, he didn't need to perish along with his world. Unfortunately, he ultimately chose this path. He could have given up, but he still wanted to fight to the death, attempting to save the entire world, but ultimately failed.

This is also a sad thing.

The day of the Holy War of Merit arrived quickly, and armies from all realms appeared one after another. The Kunlun Realm's army was no exception, and its numbers exceeded the expectations of all the gods in the Heavenly Court Realm. The gods of the other worlds participating simultaneously were completely surprised that the Kunlun Realm possessed so many saints.

"How is this possible? How could the Kunlun Realm possess so many Saints? How is this possible? A full 500,000 Saints, how is this possible?"

"Five hundred thousand? That's impossible! What's going on? Could it be that the Kunlun Realm has awakened?"

"Impossible, impossible, absolutely impossible. If the Kunlun Realm has already awakened, then the Heavenly Court and the Hell Realm will definitely try every means to destroy the divine power outside the Kunlun Realm as soon as possible."

"What's going on here? Five hundred thousand? That's absolutely impossible."

"It should be related to that being from the heavens. With that being's abilities, it's possible that he could help the Kunlun Realm create 500,000 saints in a short period of time. It's just unbelievable how he managed to do that."

"Regardless of what method he used, the possibility of Kunlun Realm falling to last place is almost gone. After all, look at the saints in Kunlun Realm; many possess special physiques, some even have Chaotic Physique, and some even have Perfected Physique. Even for those top-tier worlds, acquiring such a physique is not easy." Zhao Shuang also saw many of his friends at this moment. Their strength had also greatly improved, but they hadn't broken through to Saint King, as required by his instructions.

This is also what makes him feel gratified, because even if he breaks through to the Saint King level, he still cannot become the number one Saint King.

However, it's not impossible; for example, he might have entrusted the task of being the first among the Holy Kings to his own wife.

With my wife's abilities, there's a good chance she'll get first place. Unless the hellish realm sends out some geniuses to stop her, it's almost impossible to prevent her from getting first place.

However, this time it was the Rakshasa Clan that went to the Ancestral Spirit Realm to participate in the Holy War of Merit, and there were no heaven-defying beings among the Holy Kings of the Rakshasa Clan.

Under these circumstances, defeating his young wife would be virtually impossible, which put Zhao Shuang at ease.

"It seems that Kunlun Realm might win first place in this Merit Holy War. But they can't win first place this time. If they do, we won't be able to explain it to the Moon Goddess, since that's what we promised her."

Zhao Shuang looked at his relatives and friends in the Kunlun Realm and couldn't help but smile as he spoke.

"If Kunlun Realm fails to win first place in this Holy War of Merit, won't Kunlun Realm become the battlefield for the next Holy War of Merit?"

Zhang Ruoji couldn't help but retort when he heard Zhao Shuang's words.

"We are Saints, and there are also Saint Kings, Great Saints, and Gods—these are the four ranks. Kunlun Realm also has hope, so don't worry. I've already arranged these four realms, and there won't be any unexpected events. If an unexpected event occurs, it can only mean that an extremely powerful being has appeared in Hell Realm, but such a powerful being would absolutely not participate in the Holy War of Merit. If they died on the battlefield of the Holy War of Merit, the gods of Hell Realm wouldn't even have time to cry. You must know that each of those powerful beings is qualified to become a strong god. Therefore, they would absolutely not risk letting such beings participate in such a Holy War of Merit."

Zhao Shuang's words completely put Zhang Ruoji's mind at ease, because he trusted Zhao Shuang.

"Then all we have to do now is wait for the Holy War of Merit to begin. This Holy War of Merit is extremely dangerous, so we must be extra careful no matter what and absolutely cannot allow any accidents to happen. If an accident does happen, we could lose our lives."

When Zhao Shuang finished speaking, the smile on his face disappeared. He had obviously realized how dangerous this Holy War of Merit was. He also knew what might happen in this Holy War of Merit, but even if he knew, it would be a very difficult thing to change.

All he could do was remind the others to be extra careful, especially now that he was a divine messenger, he had to remind them to be even more careful and absolutely prevent any accidents from happening.

"With the strength of the Guanghan Realm, even with the help of my elder brother, it will probably not be an easy task to win first place."

Zhang Ruoji said with some concern, as he was very familiar with the current situation in the Guanghan Realm. Therefore, he didn't have much hope. If it weren't for Zhao Shuang, he really didn't think the Guanghan Realm had any chance of winning first place in this Holy War of Merit.

"You don't need to worry about that. With me here, there will be absolutely no accidents. However, you still need to be extra careful. The danger this time far surpasses anything you've experienced before. Everything you've been through before is less than a tenth of what this is like, so you must be extremely cautious. If even the slightest accident occurs, we could both die in this Holy War of Merit. Don't think I won't die; I will die too. After all, based on my understanding of the Hell Realm, they will definitely try every means to keep me in this Holy War of Merit. Of course, the premise is that they will also try every means to make me return to the Hell Realm. After all, I was once a member of the Hell Realm, but I couldn't stand what the Hell Realm did, so I chose to leave. However, I didn't join the Heavenly Court. Instead, I travel between the Hell Realm and the Heavenly Court, and no one can do anything to me, thus becoming a ruler of both realms."

"Was your elder brother a god in the underworld before?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ruoji was utterly shocked. He had never imagined that Zhao Shuang was once a deity from the underworld.

“I never said I was a god of Hell. I only said I am a member of Hell because I was born there, but I am not one of the ten races of Hell. I do not belong to any race in Hell. So you don’t need to say I am a god of Hell.”

Zhao Shuang's answer made Zhang Ruoji understand.

Besides the ten races, there are also naturally born beings in the underworld. These are also beings in the underworld, but they do not belong to any race.

Zhao Shuang was clearly one of them, which surprised Zhang Ruoji, but he also expressed his understanding.

"Will my brother return to the underworld in the future?"

"We all have to return to the Hell Realm, because there's no place for us in the Heavenly Realm. Do you understand? Especially if you want to restore everything you once had, you absolutely must return to the Hell Realm, because the blood of the Undying Blood Clan flows within you. Only by returning to the Hell Realm can your bloodline be fully activated, making you a member of the Hell Realm. Don't say you don't want to; this isn't something you can refuse." (End of Chapter)
