Chapter 449: The Encounter

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

"What... What's happening?"

Fang Yuan crossed his legs and sat on the ground. After regulating his breath for a moment, he noticed a streak of fire rushing towards him from the horizon. Xing Hezi's silhouette slowly appeared.

As soon as he found Fang Yuan, he waved his whisk. The power of the arena started to spread out. Darkness covered the skies and stars started to appear. "Do you have any explanation for this?"

"This person is spying on me and is trying to harm me. Therefore, I killed him! This is my explanation!"

Fang Yuan flew up into mid-air and snickered.

"Are you trying to oppose the Hidden Cultivators Sect?"

Xing Hezi glared at Fang Yuan.

"What do I have to gain if I oppose the Hidden Cultivators Sect? I am still supportive of Operation Grabstar."

Fang Yuan shrugged his shoulders. "All of this is because of the personal feud I have with the Thousand Rock Lord!"

After retrieving the Thousand Rock Lord's memories, Fang Yuan was enlightened about the existence of the Spiritual Realm. To the powerful beings of this realm, this was no secret.

Furthermore, those powerful beings who were able to attain the Divine Refining Grade were extremely rare. Most of them had, in one way or another, felt the will of the Spiritual Realm and might have even received assistance.

Even Fang Yuan had to fear if he were to go against such a powerful organisation.

"Personal feud?"

Xing Hezi was suspicious of Fang Yuan's excuse. However, his expression changed and the glitter from the stars around started to dim.

"That's right... I have discovered a shocking secret as well! This Thousand Rock Lord had another identity exactly one thousand years ago, and that is the Bloodied Demon!"

Fang Yuan's face was filled with a sense of justice. "This person has caused trouble then and is looking to create trouble now. I have killed him and he deserves it!"

With the Thousand Rock Lord's memories, it was extremely simple for Fang Yuan to accuse him of anything. Whatever Fang Yuan said would surely be the facts.

"Tsk... It's him!"

Xing Hezi appeared shocked and bowed towards Fang Yuan. "This Bloodied Demon has once wiped out 13 families and sacrificed hundreds of innocent citizens. Never would I have thought that he would become the Thousand Rock Lord. Brother, for helping us kill him, you will surely gain good karma!"

"It's nothing much..."

Fang Yuan acted humble but inside, he was chuckling.

How would the powerful beings of the Hidden Cultivators Sect not know about the Thousand Rock Lord's true identity?

Since they were all powerful beings, they would know that his lifespan would slowly decrease and he would soon lose all his spiritual energy. Therefore, they did not care much about him.

This was why Fang Yuan could bring this matter up in order to explain for his own actions.

To speak the truth, no matter how important Thousand Rock Lord was in the past, he was but a dead person now.

Would anyone be so dumb as to offend Fang Yuan, this Divine Refining Grade cultivator over a dead person? Hehe... Fang Yuan was, after all, a person who had just killed another Divine Refining Grade cultivator and himself, unharmed! Would Xing Hezi think of becoming the next to be killed under Fang Yuan's hands?

Xing Hezi had no thoughts of offending Fang Yuan. Instead, he agreed to everything Fang Yuan said and started to criticize everything the Thousand Rock Lord did in the past.

"Brother Xing Hezi, don't worry! The damage to the array due to the death of Thousand Rock Lord will be rectified by me!"

There were no more problems as soon as Fang Yuan made this promise.

Both of them were on good terms before taking their leaves. However, their thoughts were entirely different from their attitude towards each other.

"Sigh... this is pitiful..."

Fang Yuan stood in mid-air, gazed at the blue sky and sighed.

Because of the traits of Planet Earth Realm, 99% of the powerful beings in the realm were ruthless and were ready to bring in a higher-tiered realm to coincide with their own realm without considering their own realm's will.

Planet Earth Realm's will must have felt so helpless, right?

To Fang Yuan, regardless whether the wills were strict or composed, they were all too predictable.

To an epiphanic realm, the will would surely be offended and would conjure lightning strikes to deal with these delinquents. Even if it was not able to destroy these rebels, it would still be able to keep them under control and warn anyone else who would harbour the same intentions of going against the realm.

However, Fang Yuan felt that Planet Earth's will was helpless, even more helpless than the will of Da Qian.

"It seems that the will of Planet Earth is stubborn... the powerful beings in the realm will not be dealt with if they do not explicitly display their intentions to oppose the will of the realm, and that is bad news for the realm... When they rebel and escape, I'm afraid it will be too late. What a pity..."

With a heavy heart, Fang Yuan returned to Huiming City and went to meet up with Xi Menjian.

"How's it?"

Xi Menjian wore a mysterious outfit of a servant and only came out to meet Fang Yuan at night.

As soon as he saw Fang Yuan, he became increasingly nervous.

He was still the weakest among all of them, to the extent where Xing Hezi would not even care about him. It could also be the fact that Xing Hezi was keeping him alive on Fang Yuan's behalf. Otherwise, he would not even be able to survive until now.

"I have visited most parts of Chinese Country. Life is scarce everywhere!"

Fang Yuan arrived at a secret room and sighed. "I have also looked into the various shelters within the array. Most of them are built for a defensive purpose and most of them are adapted a little. Therefore, it should not be built to destroy the city!"

Fang Yuan did not speak the entire truth.

"Is that so? Then that's good..."

Even so, he was still frowning.

He knew that although the array was not built for destructive purposes, it did not mean that it was entirely safe. In fact, Fang Yuan had already hinted to him about the usage of the array.

"The transference is almost complete. The wild animals out there should not be able to infiltrate the city..."

Xi Menjian mumbled to himself.

The plan which took ten years centred around the usage of these huge cities as bases. Now that the plan was in progress, it was almost impossible for the country to undergo any changes in the plan.

"Do you think we can only hope for them to be friendly towards us? Hehe... this is an irony!"

Xi Menjian laughed.

"We actually do have a plan!"

Fang Yuan smiled and revealed a mysterious look.

...

On the East Continent, in a church.

"This feeling..."

Sitting on a golden chair, Farquhar gazed towards the direction of the Middle Continent. "The will of the Spiritual Realm... is it here again?"

He walked out of the hall and gazed downwards.

Buildings were built around the Holy Mountain. It resembled a refugee camp as it was filled with people. Everything was chaotic.

All these people were loyal believers who lived under the Holy Mountain to receive blessings. They came from every part of the East Continent.

At the arrival of doomsday, even cults would be able to survive, what more for a Curia with a real god leading it?

Not just that, the disease which the 9 Headed Cerberus had spread throughout the continent had pushed many to lean towards the Curia as they seek for a cure.

At this point in time, governments were failing and the Curia had become the most powerful organisation of the East Continent. Even the Blue Star Alliance would have to rank second now.

"Mortals... Life is fleeting. In times of danger, people would not dare to hold on to positions of power and authority and would rather become cowards..."

Witnessing this scene, Farquhar was not too happy.

Among the many powerful beings, he was also on the side of humans for he had many human believers. However, all these were useless.

The reason for his existence was to increase the spiritual energy of Planet Earth.

Without the existence of spiritual droplets, his faith would not be able to gather so many followers, which would translate to his godly powers.

Therefore, even Farquhar ad to be supportive of Operation Grabstar to lead both worlds into an overlap.

Of course, to the new powerful beings, Farquhar would not tell them the truth. He would only mention the Spiritual King Comet but would say nothing about the existence of the Spiritual Realm.

"This is a sign of the Spiritual King Comet! It is also a new beginning!"

"At the arrival of the fourth occurrence, where the Spiritual King Comet is the closest to Planet Earth, we can activate the array to commence the operation... This is only the first step. This is akin to aiming our harpoon at a whale in order to catch it. Next up, we will have to make use of the huge amount of energy which would arise from the occurrence of the Spiritual King Comet to break through the membrane in order to allow the Spiritual Realm to merge with Planet Earth... This is the true Operation Grabstar, the true aim of the Hidden Cultivators Sect!"

Farquhar continued to mumble to himself. "After merging the two realms, Planet Earth will retain its current condition and the spiritual energy in here will never go down. We can make use of this accomplishment to gain recognition in order for the new realm to accept us!"

To Gods, recognition was power! Recognition was authority!

This was the reward the Spiritual Realm could give.

The will of the Spiritual Realm was different compared to that of Planet Earth's. It was much more flexible. If it were to recognise a powerful being, the being would become a god, the ultimate achievement rumoured in the legends from the East!

"Now... the will of the Spiritual Realm is about to arrive at the Middle Continent!"

Farquhar could feel that time was rushing.

Behind him, 3 bright wings were radiating as they started to absorb holy light around him.

Furthermore, the fourth pair of wings was illusionary and was about to form.

3 pairs of wings meant that a god would have a 4th Tier special ability.

4 pairs of wings meant that a powerful god would have the ability of a 5th Tier mutant!

In the East, this would be considered the Divine Refining Realm. A person of such power would be able to create a prosperous land, and the collective way to address such a person would be an Area Being!

"In crucial moments, the will of the Spiritual Realm would always appear to bring together the powerful beings of this realm... even the natives of this world, werewolves or even the 9 Headed Cerberus have once benefited from the powerful will of the Spiritual Realm. I wonder who is going to become stronger this time in the Middle Realm?"

Farquhar was lost in his thoughts. Behind him, the illusionary pair of wings started to absorb the power of the faith. However, it still dissipated in the end. It was evident that Farquhar had yet to restore his full might.

Even so, he was still undoubtedly the most powerful being on Holy Mountain and the leader of all.

"I wonder who is here?"

The holy light illuminated the entire mountain. Farquhar felt a slight sense of fear as he detected the presence of another Area Being.

"You can call me... Extreme Darkness!"

The space around the holy mountain started to distort and a young and beautiful girl emerged and arrived before Farquhar. The pair of white and black wings behind her and her captivating beauty caused Farquhar to be in a trance.

In the next moment, Extreme Darkness spoke in a sweet voice. "I have brought my goodwill intentions as well as the friendship I have with the vampires and werewolves... Furthermore, I have a secret about this realm!"
