Mortals get a golden finger for immortal cultivation every year

"Those guys must be very happy now, right? After all, they've seen so many great Dao divine abilities, and even geniuses with the potential to become gods. They should be overjoyed. I wonder how they'll feel when they learn the truth. It'll definitely be very interesting then. I hope they won't regret it later. Getting geniuses from the Kunlun Realm is no easy task."

Zhao Shuang, who was eating meat and drinking wine in the Ancestral Spirit Realm, muttered to himself. Of course, none of the gods in the Heavenly Court Realm could hear what he was saying.

What he described were precisely the matters discussed by the gods of the Heavenly Court. They were plotting how to lure all the prodigies of the Kunlun Realm, who possessed the potential to become gods or great saints, into their own world and their own temples. After all, these prodigies had immense potential, especially the women who possessed the rules of spacetime. This delighted the masters of the Time Temple and Space Temple of the Heavenly Court, as well as their deputy masters and elders. These individuals were considered powerful even among the gods.

So when they saw that someone could simultaneously comprehend the rules of spacetime, they were overjoyed, ecstatic beyond measure. You see, even without the mark of a spacetime divine warrior, and not considered a successor of spacetime, such a person still possesses unparalleled potential to become a god, and an extremely powerful one at that.

If nurtured and successfully trained, they could definitely become top-tier deities in their temple. They didn't care at all about their feelings for the Kunlun Realm. They believed that they had only been in the Kunlun Realm for a few hundred years, but the time they could spend training them was tens of thousands of years. Such a long time was enough for them to forget all their feelings for the Kunlun Realm and become loyal to their temple or world.

To put it bluntly, they had no concern whatsoever that these people from the Kunlun Realm, who possessed the rules of spacetime, would betray their temple, because they would make all the necessary preparations to ensure that nothing went wrong. Furthermore, as long as they could acquire this group of people with the rules of spacetime, their temple would possess top-tier deities in ten thousand or even several thousand years.

With such benefits and such enormous potential, how could they possibly give it up?
They were already discussing how to bring all these women back to their temple and raise them properly. In fact, if these women weren't from the Kunlun Realm, they would have wanted them to become goddesses of their temple, representing the gods and exercising their authority, in no way inferior to Zhao Shuang, the divine messenger.

To put it bluntly, if it weren't for their background, their future would have been even brighter and more promising. But it was precisely because they came from the Kunlun Realm that they were able to achieve such success and comprehend the rules of spacetime, which was something Zhao Shuang had specifically helped them with.

It is precisely for this reason that their future is so bright.

This was also Zhao Shuang's goal: to get these gods of the Heavenly Court to take this group of Kunlun Realm's geniuses under their control, so that they could gradually gain control over the power of the many great worlds and temples of the Heavenly Court.

Once this group of prodigies matures and becomes top-tier beings, it's only a matter of time before the Kunlun Realm regains its former glory. Most importantly, there's no need to worry anymore, as these temples and worlds are very likely to belong to the Kunlun Realm. Even if they don't, they can still bring immense benefits. The most crucial and critical issue is that the Great Dao and Divine Sects that Zhao Shuang imparted to these prodigies are incomplete. While seemingly harmless, if other gods or Great Sages were to cultivate them, there wouldn't be any problems initially, but further cultivation would lead to significant and severe issues, potentially even backlash. At that point, giving up would be impossible, perhaps possible with overwhelming strength, but the price would be devastating. And then, gods will surely come to Zhao Shuang for help, and that will be the time for Zhao Shuang to restore the Kunlun Realm to its former glory.

It could be said that Zhao Shuang had already planned everything, just waiting for them to take the bait. And as it turns out, everything Zhao Shuang had planned was almost complete; once these gods fell for it, it would be done. As for whether any clever gods would see through his scheme, that was possible, but even if they did, what difference would it make? Unless they were willing to give up, and who would be willing to give up? As for secretly harming these geniuses possessing great Dao abilities or the potential to become gods, the first thing they would face was Zhao Shuang's wrath. They would have to be prepared for the price Zhao Shuang would pay if he destroyed their temples and worlds. This price was not something anyone could bear or was willing to pay. Perhaps some geniuses would perish as a result, but that was unavoidable; things couldn't always go as smoothly as Zhao Shuang had planned. For these geniuses, Zhao Shuang could only express his regret. As for who these geniuses would be, he didn't know; it would depend on their luck, their fate.

All he could do was ensure their safety as much as possible and guarantee them the greatest benefits they could obtain. As for anything else, Zhao Shuang couldn't really do much.

All his calculations would surely be seen through by powerful beings, and Zhao Shuang was somewhat helpless against them. After all, although he was once a being of the heavens, he was far from it now. He now needed to annihilate the Rakshasa race, a race he held little affection for. However, he was also somewhat powerless against their actions, for everything in the world exists for survival. He could annihilate the Rakshasa race, but the Rakshasa race could also annihilate other cultivators; this was the law of heaven and earth, the rule of the world. The survival of the fittest was part of the natural order, something no one could stop or change. Even Zhao Shuang had to abide by this law and rule. He couldn't allow a weakling to kill him; he needed to use his strength to save what he wanted to save. And all of this was planned, arranged by the laws of heaven and earth, something no one could alter.

Zhao Shuang is now heading to the location of the Rakshasa army, but only a part of it.

Among the ten races of the Hell Realm, the Undying Blood Clan possesses extremely strong vitality and is more likely to cultivate to the point of physical sainthood. The male Rakshasa are similarly gifted, generally possessing divine strength and incredibly powerful physical bodies, capable of rivaling the Undying Blood Clan. The female Rakshasa, however, possess immense talent in spiritual power, easily cultivating to become powerful spiritual beings. Furthermore, each is exceptionally beautiful, almost without exception, and thus possesses masterful seduction techniques, capable of capturing beings of other races. Under such circumstances, those with weak willpower are easily controlled. When Zhao Shuang arrived at the mountain range where the Rakshasa army was located, he discovered that another world had also gathered there, along with a large number of powerful individuals, all of whom were extremely formidable.

However, he had no interest in this group of cultivators from other worlds. These powerful figures didn't act immediately either, but instead planned to annihilate this Rakshasa army as planned. This Rakshasa army was not to be underestimated, and a direct attack would likely result in heavy losses. Just as they were about to act, a giant hand appeared in the sky. This hand descended from the heavens and with a single slap, wiped out the entire Rakshasa race, leaving not a single living being, only their blood essence and souls.

All of these things had fallen into Zhao Shuang's hands and become his merit points, a scene that shocked and amazed the cultivators of this world.

"Isn't it said that experts above the Saint King level cannot appear in this world? What's going on? Does this mean they haven't reached the Saint King level?"

The experts of this world said incredulously, "It's that Heavenly King from the Guanghan Realm. This person's origin is very special. It is said that he is the reincarnation of a god from ancient times, which is why he can enter. However, he cannot exceed the power of a Saint King. But it seems that he doesn't care about this rule. It seems that we are in trouble. If he really attacks us, none of us are his match. I'm afraid our fate will not be much better than that of the Rakshasa army just now. This is a big problem."

"What should we do? Should we run now? We absolutely cannot have a conflict with him now, or we might all die here."

"There shouldn't be any need, right? After all, we don't have any major grudges with the Guanghan Realm or the Kunlun Realm. Although there were some conflicts during the previous Holy War of Merit, it didn't reach the point of being irreconcilable. So there shouldn't be any need for us to run away directly."

"Look, he's gone. He doesn't seem to have any intention of attacking us. That's great, that's great. If he had attacked us, we would have been dead."

Zhao Shuang heard what the cultivators from other worlds were saying, but he ignored it. He naturally couldn't attack these guys, as it would be too much of a waste of energy. Moreover, this world didn't have any major grudges with the Guanghan Realm, so there was no need for him to go to extremes and do something that would please his other enemies, especially the Rakshasa race. Keeping them alive would allow him to kill some of the Rakshasa.

However, when he arrived at the second location, he found a Rakshasa woman over 1.8 meters tall among the Rakshasa army. This Rakshasa woman possessed an extremely noble air, wearing a crown crafted from divine crystals and a sacred robe that perfectly accentuated her figure. Every thread of this sacred robe was forged from the sacred veins of a saint, causing her entire body to radiate a dazzling light, forming a radiant holy cloud.

This is enough to prove that the woman's status is extremely noble, and her status is naturally incredibly precious.

The holy robe she wears alone is equivalent to ten thousand saints helping her cultivate. Even ordinary gods would find it difficult to forge one.

At that moment, she also noticed Zhao Shuang's presence.

"Greetings, Your Majesty. Are you preparing to take action against this junior?"

The Rakshasa woman smiled at Zhao Shuang and said something that made him feel embarrassed. He had already guessed her identity: she was a princess of the Rakshasa tribe, and her status was far from that of an ordinary princess.

The Rakshasa princess's father was also related to him. After all, he didn't have much hatred for the Hell Realm. At most, he had demolished some temples of the ten races in the Hell Realm, beaten up some gods, or killed some gods of the Hell Realm. These were not serious issues.

So he shook his head and said with a smile.

“I came here to participate in the Holy War of Merit, naturally to annihilate the beings of your Hell Realm, and your Rakshasa Clan is the main force this time, so naturally I must annihilate you. But you have some connection with me, so if you leave now, I can spare your life.”

"No matter what, your father is related to me in some way, and besides, you've already addressed me as Your Majesty the Heavenly King. So naturally, I can't possibly attack a junior like you here. It would be a loss of face for both of us, wouldn't it? Attacking a junior like you would be a real loss of face. So, if you leave now, I won't kill you. But if you don't obey and leave obediently, then I don't care about my reputation or your father's feelings. I'll just beat him up next time I see him. So, are you going to obediently leave here, or are you going to attack me and let me kill you?"

Zhao Shuang's words caused the Rakshasa princess's expression to change repeatedly. She never expected that Zhao Shuang would show such disrespect to her father.

"Your father has no influence that would make me let you go. I'm only concerned about my own status and can't directly attack you. So I hope you'll attack me, that way I'll have a valid reason to kill you. Then, even if you see your father, you'll have enough reason to tell him that you chose to die, not that I wanted to kill you. It has nothing to do with me, and it will calm his anger and make him refrain from attacking. Otherwise, I really will beat him up, which wouldn't be good for either of us, right? You don't want your father to get beaten up, do you? After all, your father is a god, a powerful god, and the ruler of an empire." (End of Chapter)
