Mortals get a golden finger for immortal cultivation every year

Five gods, a full five gods, deities from the underworld.

This is the Queen's victory this time!

The moment this victory was announced—when the Empress appeared in the Milky Way dragging the corpses of five hellish gods—the entire Heavenly Realm, the Heavenly Court, and even all the heavens were shocked and trembled. Even the Milky Way itself was thrown into monstrous waves, waves never before seen before. This demonstrated the immense impact this event had on the entire Heavenly Court, not to mention the Moon Goddess later dragging the corpses of two hellish gods as well.

In other words, a total of seven gods perished in the Hell Realm this time, which made the First Realm almost unable to hold back and directly declare war on the Heavenly Realm.

After all, these are seven deities, not just Great Sages. Moreover, many Great Sages and Saint Kings have fallen this time, all because of the Kunlun Realm. Under these circumstances, the Hell Realm's hatred for the Kunlun Realm is arguably three times stronger than it was ten thousand years ago. This is mainly due to a combination of old and new grievances; their hatred for the Kunlun Realm is like a surging river, endless and inescapable. They even want to declare war on the entire Heavenly Court Realm, but this is not something they can decide on their own; it requires the unanimous agreement of all the deities in the Hell Realm.

But all the gods in the underworld would certainly disagree. Only a few races with a strong desire for bloodshed and who want to wage a complete war against the Heavenly Court would choose this path.

Even though the other gods of the underworld were seething with hatred, they never considered this method, because the losses would be far too severe. Neither the Heavenly Realm nor the Underworld could afford such serious consequences at the moment.

While the Hell Realm was seething with hatred, the Heavenly Realm was overjoyed, especially those worlds with ties to the Kunlun Realm. The gods with such connections were ecstatic, for the victory was immense. These were gods, not Great Sages; seven had perished, and seven spiders had been slain. What did this mean? It meant that neither the Hell Realm nor the Heavenly Realm would dare underestimate the Kunlun Realm and the Guanghan Realm, nor would anyone dare underestimate the Empress and the Moon Goddess. These two goddesses, whose beauty and figures were already in no way inferior, once again astonished the gods of both the Heavenly Realm and the Hell Realm. Countless Great Sages, Saint Kings, and Saints idolized these two goddesses.

Their victory this time was already their greatest in thousands of years; it could be said that even in tens of thousands of years, the Balance Sword had never achieved such a great triumph. Even though the gods they slew were only the lower-level gods Zhao Shuang spoke of, they were still gods nonetheless.

Most importantly, the benefits brought by these seven gods are enormous and unimaginable; it is unknown how many powerful beings they can cultivate.

It's worth noting that in the Kunlun Realm, Zhao Shuang nurtured the current Kunlun Realm using only the body of a Blood God who had been dead for 100,000 years. This time, he's using five freshly created divine corpses. Who knows how many outstanding individuals can be cultivated from them, and how many different physiques they will possess?

The divine blood alone is enough to make the entire Kunlun Realm and Guanghan Realm rich, an unprecedented windfall.

It can't be said to be unprecedented, but it can be said to be the first time in the last 100,000 years that someone has made such a fortune.

"With so many gods, I wonder how heartbroken the Underworld must be. They're probably even going to declare war on the Heavenly Realm. However, such a large number of gods is enough to make countless world gods in the Heavenly Realm extremely wary of the Kunlun Realm, especially of the Empress. They will definitely try every means to destroy her. After all, given the Empress's current strength, her future achievements are simply limitless. If another being like that old bald monk were to appear, I wonder what they would do. You know, that old bald monk was also one of the Immortal Slayers back then. Although he wasn't as strong as me, he was still enough to make those guys in Heaven extremely wary." Therefore, they will do everything in their power to prevent the Empress from growing into an old, bald monk. They will definitely try every means to attack her. Moreover, this time the Empress's slaughter was far too ruthless and powerful. Such dazzling achievements will surely make countless gods wary. At the same time, with so many divine bodies, those old fogies in the Heavenly Court will probably try every means to obtain a few. Because these divine bodies are also of great benefit to their world. They will not let go of this great opportunity and will try every means to plunder these achievements. At that time, the entire Kunlun Realm will be in trouble.”

Zhao Shuang's words immediately changed Mu Lingxi's expression. She hadn't expected that the woman's brilliant achievements would attract such trouble. It truly shocked her.

Most importantly, she was filled with worry. No matter what, Kunlun Realm was her home, and she was extremely worried, fearing its destruction.
"Do you think they can just steal it? You have to understand that this is the body of a god. Any god who wants to steal it would have to do so openly. Stealing it secretly is simply impossible. Do you think they would dare to steal it? If they did, they would probably incur the displeasure of many gods."

Although Mu Lingxi was very worried, she did not lose her composure and asked a question.

“They certainly wouldn’t dare to forcibly seize them, but they can take them by trickery. They can use methods, for example, to present the bodies of these gods as the spoils of a holy war of merit.”

As soon as this explanation came out, Mu Lingxi immediately understood.

"You mean they'll consider the Empress's victory as the result of this holy war of merit, which would be the victory of the entire Heavenly Court. In that case, the bodies of these gods would have to be divided equally, not just by the Kunlun Realm. This would make it difficult for those seniors who wanted to help the Kunlun Realm, or those forces that had connections with the Kunlun Realm, to speak up, and they might even secretly push things along. If they could obtain the bodies of the gods, they would also gain immense benefits, benefits they would never give up."

"That's right, that's the logic. Once this spoils of war belong to the entire Heavenly Realm, then the bodies of these gods must be divided up. And once divided, countless forces will try every means to plunder the greatest benefits. In particular, the Heavenly Realm will never allow the Kunlun Realm to develop and grow rapidly; they will definitely try every means to obstruct it. The stronger the Kunlun Realm becomes, the greater the trouble they will face later. After all, their current state is inextricably linked to them. Under these circumstances, they absolutely do not want the Kunlun Realm to obtain so many benefits. They will do everything they can to pull these divine bodies from the Kunlun Realm; they will never let the Kunlun Realm possess them." "You must understand that I've made the Kunlun Realm so powerful with just a broken and incomplete Blood God's body. If I were to add these five complete and fresh divine bodies, the Kunlun Realm would undoubtedly become even stronger in a very short time. Even if it can't recover to the level it was 100,000 years ago, it could still regain some of its strength, and even that partial strength would be enough to make most worlds wary. As for the gods of the Kunlun Realm, the Empress alone is far from enough. Even though the Empress is now so powerful, capable of slaying other gods, and five at that, she is still just a new god, not yet at a very high level. It can be said that the Empress is still not a great threat in the eyes of those old immortals, but they absolutely cannot allow her to continue to grow stronger. Because if the Empress grows stronger, she could very well reach the level of that old bald monk in a very short time. Even if she doesn't reach that level, she would still be enough to threaten their position. At that time, it would be impossible for them to deal with the Kunlun Realm."

"Even if they could deal with the Kunlun Realm, the price they would have to pay would be extremely high, and they would definitely not be willing to pay such a high price. Under such circumstances, the only option they can make is to kill them as soon as possible to silence them. Then they can suppress and exclude the Kunlun Realm, causing it to decline."

Zhao Shuang's words made Mu Lingxi even more worried, and she couldn't help but press Zhao Shuang for more information.

"Is there really absolutely no way?"

She is now genuinely worried that the Kunlun Realm will be suppressed to the point of extinction.

"You don't need to worry too much about that. What I just described is only the worst-case scenario, something that would happen if Kunlun Realm were completely isolated and helpless. But how could Kunlun Realm possibly be isolated and helpless? Although Kunlun Realm declined 100,000 years ago, it still had many allies, so they would definitely help. Even if they don't help, the gods who didn't perish 100,000 years ago certainly won't stand idly by. They are all waiting for Kunlun Realm to be revived. They will also be secretly working on it. They will absolutely not watch Kunlun Realm be destroyed by these guys. That's absolutely impossible, so you can rest assured."

"But those guys, especially those in the Heavenly Realm, will definitely try to do what you said and treat these five divine bodies as the spoils of war of the entire Heavenly Court."

Mu Lingxi expressed her concerns, which were the same ones Zhao Shuang had mentioned – she was worried about this very point.

"Then what do you think was the point of my outburst of anger against the Temple of Merit? It was because I had anticipated this. That's why I was so angry at the Temple of Merit. The Temple of Merit is controlled by the Heavenly Realm. After my outburst, they will probably restrain themselves and understand that I am protecting the Kunlun Realm. No matter what, they wouldn't dare to take such a big risk to plunder the Kunlun Realm's spoils at this time. They don't have that kind of guts."

Zhao Shuang's words surprised and delighted Mu Lingxi. She hadn't expected that Zhao Shuang's outburst of anger against the gods of the Temple of Merit was for this very reason. It was truly beyond her expectations.

"So you don't need to worry too much. I've already arranged everything, and there won't be any problems. Even if they really have the guts, they'll have to consider my existence. If I didn't care about these things, I wouldn't have stepped forward to curse the Temple of Merit just now."

"So you can rest assured, this time Kunlun Realm will definitely be safe and sound, and there won't be any problems. If any problems do occur, I guarantee that I will deal with Heaven Realm immediately. Anyway, no matter what problems arise, it's always right to go to them. Even if they didn't do it, they will still be involved."

Zhao Shuang's words made Mu Lingxi smile with relief, and she even felt a little annoyed that Zhao Shuang had said so much to scare her.

"If I didn't tell you all this, how would you know the intricacies involved? Even I don't fully understand them myself, but I know that if I don't do this, the Kunlun Realm will be in even greater trouble, so I have no choice. I also plan to check on the Empress later. Her injuries this time are truly severe. I originally intended for her to kill two or three gods, but she ruthlessly killed five in one go, which was quite unexpected and different from our original plan. I only wanted her to be a little ruthless, to give other worlds a warning and let them know that the Kunlun Realm is not to be trifled with. I didn't expect the Empress to be so ruthless. It seems there must be something I don't know or something I haven't guessed."

"Therefore, I must ask her what happened in a while. Could it be that she was really besieged by the gods of Hell? If so, this is quite troublesome. After all, if she really was besieged by the gods of Hell, it must be related to Heaven. Heaven must have colluded with the gods of Hell to put the Empress to death. But I didn't expect her to be so powerful that she killed all the gods who were besieging her. That's the only possibility. There is no other possibility."

Zhao Shuang's words made Mu Lingxi very worried. Although she had no feelings for the Empress, she still had deep feelings for the Kunlun Realm.

"So how serious do you think the Empress's injuries are this time? I have a feeling that the Empress's injuries this time must be very serious."

"You're absolutely right about the severity of her injuries this time; they're unprecedented. Her divine body was shattered at least three times, otherwise she wouldn't have lost even her divine aura. The fact that she could still slay a god from the underworld under these circumstances proves she used methods I don't even know about. She must have received help from someone; otherwise, it would be virtually impossible. Even with her exceptional talent, she's only recently become a god and doesn't possess such power."
