Hunting God Era

Chapter 213 Stop howling, there's no one outside.

The Divine Eagle Sect's Primordial Base wasn't located on any sacred mountain in the grasslands, but rather in the vast grasslands. At this moment, within the Primordial Base formed by the large tent, sects were constantly opening the Primordial Base according to specific paths and entering the Primordial Base.

Then, the core elements were quickly integrated into the system, merging with the local rules to create a large tent with a distinct appearance.

The very formation of this primordial era was a remnant of the ancient royal court, existing in the form of a grand tent. The newly integrated sects naturally followed the local primordial rules, thus creating new grand tents.

The only difference is that the original tents of the Yuan Chu sect are different. The tents of the Divine Eagle Sect are basically white, with the main tent being gold. They are the most traditional grassland tents, but the sects that have incorporated them are all different.

The blood-red, purple, and green ones are not domes, but rather variations based on their own primordial fundamental rules. Some are imitations of ancient buildings, while others have skulls on their heads.

It's definitely not the style of a traditional large tent.

However, the sect leader of the Divine Eagle Sect was very satisfied. Regardless of tradition, the expansion of the Primordial Realm was real. Some people, because they had brought enough cores, even began to connect to the Primordial Realm, which would allow his Primordial Demon Domain to expand further.

Once the entire northern power joins in, his dream of a new royal court might actually come true.

As long as they can migrate outwards with the merged Yuan Chu, their strength will surely allow them to gain a foothold. If there are enough people in the Five Realms, becoming a local tyrant is not impossible.

Even if the Central Plains doesn't want them, there will always be a place for them to showcase their talents!
During this time, he watched as the sects broke through the path and merged into it. At first, it was fine, with sects coming in one after another, but in the past few days, the number has obviously decreased.

The number of attendees was significantly different from the number at the last meeting he convened at the new royal court.

This is less than one-fifth of what he planned.

Even with distance and time constraints, according to his prediction, it should be continuous, rather than sporadic and decreasing in number, like a blockage in the middle.

"What happened when you arrived?"

He couldn't help but ask a newly arrived sect.

This is a small sect. It doesn't have the Five Realms; all its members are at the Fourth Realm, capable of roaming the mortal realm. Yuan Chu is only at the biographical level, having been passed down from ancient times. No matter how much it is maintained, it is already in a state of imminent dissipation.

Originally, they wanted to find a major sect to rely on, but then Li Ye's incident happened, so they took the opportunity to rely on the Divine Eagle Sect. Because they were about to be destroyed, they didn't bring many core members, and they couldn't even form a tent. It was the sect leader of the Divine Eagle Sect who used magic to build a small tent for them to stay in.

The Primordial Demon Realm is like a small imperial court, or like managing a household. It not only requires regular maintenance, but also careful planning on when to remove pollution, when to allow it to intensify, and even when to let the pollution from the Primordial Realm breed demons and strengthen itself in a disguised way. All of these require careful consideration.

If the pollution is removed quickly, that primordial realm won't last a hundred years and will quickly dissipate. Because it dissipates so quickly, it's estimated that even the Demon Realm won't be able to generate many more, but some fiefdoms will be born instead.

If pollution is allowed to increase, the primordial chaos will be lost, potentially giving rise to new Pan Demons. If the area is small, it's manageable; they can simply be eliminated and the rules will be restored. However, if the area is large, the life of a Pan Demon will be a near-catastrophic disaster. In that case, aside from the Five Realms, all the accumulated foundations will be wiped out.

Managing the Yuan Chu sect is an art in itself. Those sects that have survived to this day and are still strong and maintaining their pollution levels are all long-established sects.

A small lineage like this clearly doesn't have a long history and is unlikely to last more than five hundred years.

But there are advantages to actively seeking refuge here now, namely that they will respect themselves, unlike those major sects that have actively manifested themselves as large tents, started to connect, and even formed factions.

These minor sects can be used as henchmen and confidants.

"There haven't been any dangers along the way. However, we did encounter some ambushes. Some sect squads were ambushed, and their core members were stolen," the person from the small sect honestly stated.

They had actually considered this idea, but upon seeing the enemy's configuration, they realized that some of the escorts were from the Fourth Realm, and even those few were renowned experts from the Fourth Realm. Those who dared to ambush these people were numerous and powerful.

Even if someone of their size manages to ambush and obtain the core by sheer luck, their own combat strength will definitely be weakened, and they will only be doing the work for others. It's better to play it safe.

"ambush."

The sect leader of the Divine Eagle Sect knew about this, but no one asked him to take charge or anything like that. That's how it is among martial artists—survival of the fittest. If you get robbed, you can only say you're not as skilled as the other person. Instead of wasting time playing the victim, you should think of ways to get revenge.

That's why he's now eagerly waiting for more people to come.

This matter cannot be delayed. Their own migration will take time, and the integration with the primordial chaos will also take time. It would be quite good if they could complete the goal within three years. However, the longer it takes, the higher the degree of accumulated contradictions will be. If the migration is not successful and everyone has a new goal, it will explode sooner or later.

People are migrating quickly now, but organizing them is a huge task. It will take time to adjust later, but it can't be slow either. The more people there are, the more confident he will be.

He wouldn't underestimate Li Ye; in fact, he might even be intimidated by him.

No matter how amazing a person is, no matter how much they are deified and admired, at most they are like people in ancient times, with their reputation limited and all of it is just empty fame.

But Li Ye was different. There was no publicity in Shenzhou. It was all just people who had fled here talking about it. They were all as scared as frightened birds. Even the fact that the roads had been opened and sects were migrating in made them suspicious and terrified.

In addition, the sects and families in the heart of China seemed to have vanished into nothingness; no matter how many messages were sent or how many inquiries were made, no one responded.

He knew then that this wasn't just empty fame; it was genuinely terrifying.

After all these years since the establishment of China, they have finally found an unparalleled genius who can carry out their own plans.

They don't give you any chance to survive!
There aren't many of them. If Li Ye finds them, they're all doomed.

Their reliance is currently on this ever-moving Primordial Era, much like the migrations of grassland tribes, with unpredictable movements. Coupled with the vastness of the grasslands, it is very difficult to find them if they deliberately hide.

"No, we have to move."

The sect leader of the Divine Eagle Sect looked at the Yuan Chu base, which had not seen any new sects arrive for nearly a day, and said with a solemn expression, "Pass down the word, start moving now, we can't wait any longer."

Having stayed here long enough, the next step is to wander around the grasslands. As for those sects and families that haven't made it yet, we'll just have to rely on chance.

First, one must ensure one's own survival.

Hesitation will only lead to more trouble; now is the time to make a decision.

It doesn't matter if the number of people is small. Even if they successfully migrate out in the end, there will still only be so many people. The first thing that can be guaranteed is that they can survive.

He clearly understood one principle: whether it was a martial artist, a member of a sect or a noble family, or someone trying to rebuild a new royal court, the prerequisite for ascension was that it had to be accomplished by a living person. The dead could not accomplish it.

Moreover, this isn't without its advantages. Those sects and families that are too late to arrive here will also have a clustering effect. If Li Ye really sets off now, these people will also be a force to block him. In addition, those Yuan Chu people scattered in various places, those who are stationary, will definitely be easier to find than him who is moving.

By the time they are wiped out, I will have already made my fortune!
"go!"

When he issued this order, those who had only recently moved in, who were still forming alliances, and some were even trying to integrate with their own Yuan Chu clans and develop their power here, objected.

"Leave now? Not only are not all of them here, but there are only so few of them. Where can we go if we leave? Do we think we can conquer the world just by going out?"

The opposition also came from a large sect. Although it was not as powerful as the Divine Eagle Sect, it still had two Fifth Realm experts in charge. It was a sect that had moved most of its core members here and was preparing to cast spells to begin merging with the Primordial Chaos Sect.

If Yuan Chu doesn't move, it's fine. But if it does, their plan to merge with Yuan Chu will be delayed for a longer time, and it won't be good for the Divine Eagle Sect either.

“That’s right. What can we do if we leave now? Why don’t we wait a little longer? If you’re worried about that Li Ye, do you think we won’t be able to fight back if there are too many of us?”

A person from another sect said, "Moreover, my people are on their way. Without these people, I don't feel at ease joining this sect."

This is a sect in the Northwest called the Huanzhen Sect. They are skilled in bewitching and worshipping faith. The sect leader considers himself a god and calls himself a grandmaster. They also infiltrate other doctrines and spread faiths outside the sect. Moreover, they have an exceptionally powerful demon-planting technique.

The foundation of cultivation can be distributed to disciples and slaves, and a hierarchy can be added to entice them to worship devoutly and cultivate diligently, nurturing the false seed that will then be fed back to the cultivators.

Slaves want to become high-ranking slaves, high-ranking slaves want to become slave owners, slave owners want to become disciples, disciples want to become elders, elders want to become grandmasters, and grandmasters control everything.

However, it doesn't truly sever people's path of cultivation. After becoming a disciple, one can come into contact with the truth, but one is also a beneficiary and will automatically join this system.

The disciples who emerge from this system are all geniuses. Those who are slightly weaker are absorbed by the seed and cannot make any progress. They spend their days cultivating to pave the way for others and being absorbed by them. Those who can cultivate their own martial arts skills from this absorption are all geniuses.

This is certainly influenced by the rules of their primordial era, but this system is actually quite popular with many people.

Not everyone likes ordinary people to live with dignity. Martial artists may seem to have a high status, but in reality, they have to serve ordinary people. When demons come, they even have to take the blame for ordinary people.

Martial artists do not give birth to demons.

Only ordinary people harbor resentment.

In some people's eyes, ordinary people are lowly, and those who cannot cultivate themselves are objects to be exploited and abused. They subscribe to the system of survival of the fittest, the strong being respected, and the master-servant relationship.

They train relentlessly and climb the ranks, all for the sake of gaining status, not to be used as scapegoats.

The sect leader of the Divine Eagle Sect also attaches great importance to the Huanzhen Sect. The fusion with the Primordial Chaos will make the rules of the Primordial Chaos more advanced. Absorbing the core is far from enough; it is merely a transformation. By merging the entire Primordial Chaos, their Primordial Chaos will be able to obtain some of the rules of the Huanzhen Sect's Primordial Chaos, including that set of Demon Seeding Techniques.

If he could, he would definitely want the complete form.
"It's too late. We've waited long enough. We can't find anything around here, and fewer and fewer forces are coming. If we wait any longer, something bad will happen."

"What's so surprising? I don't believe that so many people can't subdue Li Ye. Even if he really comes, as long as we hold out for a while and wait for the reinforcements to arrive, we can still leave. Li Ye can't do anything to so many of us."

Before the Huanzhen Sect member could finish speaking, a crack suddenly appeared in the distance. The instant the crack appeared, a silver light flashed and slashed at the man, tearing him to pieces.

The sudden scene caused the people gathered together to look at the opening, and a few of them, who were quite perceptive, had their expressions change drastically.

"Oh? Who did you hit?"

The figures of two people gradually came into view, one of whom was a man holding a sword with a faint smile on his face.

Needless to say, such a hostile attitude, and the swift and ruthless methods that easily annihilated the Five Realms, speak volumes.
The sect leader of the Divine Eagle Sect shouted sternly, "You are Li Ye?!"

"You know the answer already."

Li Ye chuckled: "Finding you was a bit of a struggle, mainly because there were too many flies around. I've killed quite a few people along the way."

The Huanzhen Sect member turned pale and pointed at Li Ye, yelling, "What do you mean?!"

"What else could it mean? Stop howling, I've cleared out most of the people outside."

Li Ye smirked, "The rest are basically all here. What are you trying to do with so many people? Create division?"
"We existed before the land of China, in the earliest times!"

The sect leader of the Divine Eagle Sect gritted his teeth and said, "Li Ye, we have no grudges against each other and we voluntarily withdrew from the Divine Continent Plan. Why can't you let us go? Why do you have to keep chasing us? We believe that even if we have no merit, we have worked hard. Over the years, without us, demons would have caused chaos in the world long ago!"

"Without you, there might be fewer demons."

Li Ye flicked his sword. "People always like to take the course of history upon themselves. Perhaps you've lived too long, which has led to your cognitive errors. Those who truly followed the trend and knew that they had worked hard even if they had no merit have already integrated into the land. You are the only ones left here, stubborn and trying to take the core away."

He glanced at the group of at least several dozen fifth-realm martial artists gathered together, pointed his sword forward, and said, "Having killed so many, I've become a bit more merciful. How about this: Yuan Chu will stay and let me destroy him obediently. As for the rest, I'll spare their lives. How about that?"

"You're dreaming!"

A fifth-realm martial artist said, "Without the core and the primordial essence, we have no foundation to stand on! Entering the Divine Continent empty-handed is no different from being a lamb to the slaughter. I might as well take a gamble! Dying outside is a defeat, not being tied up and killed!"

"Oh, in your eyes, integrating into us means being tied up and killed."

Li Ye glanced over, and in that single glance, he raised his hand, and a chain flew out of thin air, crossing space and binding the fifth-realm martial artist.

"Then let them be tied up and killed."

Li Ye made a grasping motion in the air, and chains appeared out of thin air.

Impermanence.
