The realm of gods, a place created by countless ancient deities, has once again been engulfed in a colossal upheaval after billions of years of peace.
A surge of energy caused the surrounding sea of clouds to churn violently. A massive space cracked open in the void, and it showed signs of continuing to widen.
For gods, breaking through space is not a difficult task. Even within this divine realm, traversing freely using their divine bodies is extremely easy.
However, the realm of gods is different from ordinary places. Breaking open a small space is not difficult, but breaking open a vast space with a radius of hundreds of feet is not a simple matter.
In the realm of gods, the greater the area that can be broken through space, the stronger the divine power required.
Even the supreme god might not be able to create a space hundreds of feet wide.
A powerful and majestic divine aura spread throughout the entire divine realm in an instant, and all the gods simultaneously sensed this immense divine might filled with rage.
A chilling aura of majesty continued to expand, as if a colossal mountain were pressing down heavily on the hearts of every deity.
Whether it was a lesser god, a higher god, or even the mighty supreme god, all felt an overwhelming fear in the face of this aura.
The thoughts of countless ancient deities were rapidly communicating in the divine realm, conveying the same message: the first generation of ancient deities had finally appeared.
After a long period of waiting, the first generation of gods, who had disappeared for countless years, finally revealed their sharp claws once again in the realm of gods.
In an instant, countless gods moved their divine realms to different places. Faced with the unexpected appearance of an ancient god in the divine realm, each god took corresponding measures.
"That's strange."
"how?"
"One, two, three... fourteen." The Turtle God's eyes were still half-open, as if it had not fully woken up yet, but its divine sense was strong enough to allow it to sense the movements of these gods.
"What are you doing?" Xiao Wenbing asked respectfully.
The Turtle God said in a serious tone, "Count."
Xiao Wenbing was immediately speechless with anger.
The old tortoise yawned widely and said, "We might have gone to the wrong place. Let's go back and look for it again."
"Wrong place?" Xiao Wenbing asked in great surprise, "Isn't this the realm of gods?"
The old tortoise thought for a long time and then said seriously, "It may be, it may not be."
Xiao Wenbing moved his lips, about to speak, when a flash of white light appeared in the Heavenly Void Ring, and the Mirror God appeared automatically. Looking at the vast white sea of clouds around them, it exclaimed, "Master, we have finally returned to the God Realm."
Is this really the realm of gods?
“Of course it’s the realm of gods,” the Mirror God said without hesitation.
"Oh, so it really is the realm of gods." The old tortoise sighed, filled with emotion, "I haven't been to the realm of gods for so long, how come it has changed?"
"The God Realm has changed?" Xiao Wenbing looked around for a long time, even releasing his divine power, but since this was his first time here, he couldn't see where anything had changed.
He poked the tortoise shell next to him and asked softly, "Brother Tortoise Shell, what's changed?"
"Hmm." The tortoise shell hesitated for a long time before finally saying, "Maybe it's gotten bigger."
“No, the realm of gods is boundless, eternally both vast and eternally small.” The old tortoise turned around and slowly said, “I’m just wondering why the gods in the realm of gods have become so weak now.”
Xiao Wenbing was taken aback, and his gaze toward the old tortoise was filled with a strange feeling.
Ever since he entered the God Realm with the Turtle God, he immediately sensed countless powerful divine thoughts passing by him. Each of these divine thoughts was as powerful as he was. If he were to fight them, unless he used the Myriad Swords Technique, he would have no chance of victory.
But according to the Turtle God, these powerful deities became weak and vulnerable.
They're both gods, so why is there such a big difference between them?
The old tortoise didn't notice the change in his expression, and continued to say to himself, "How strange, where are all my old friends? Have they all gone to sleep like me?"
Xiao Wenbing coughed and said, "That's probably unlikely."
Let alone the gods, this lazy turtle is probably the only person in the entire world who is so fond of sleeping.
"They must have gone to sleep," the old tortoise insisted. "Little friend, let me tell you, sleeping is a good thing. There is nothing better in the world than sleeping."
"Well, but..."
Trust me, sleep is a good thing.
“I understand, I just wanted to say…”
The Turtle God's large head suddenly drooped, and its two eyes, twice the size of the tabletop, stared intently at Xiao Wenbing. It said heavily, "Sleeping is a good thing."
Xiao Wenbing opened his eyes wide and said helplessly, "Okay, I admit it, sleeping is a good thing. I'll go back and sleep."
The old tortoise raised its head contentedly and muttered a couple of sentences under its breath.
Xiao Wenbing heard it clearly: the old man was muttering something like, "If you disturb my sleep again, I'll definitely crush you to death."
A cold sweat quickly seeped through his vest. It turned out that this old tortoise, though seemingly half-asleep, was actually more aware than anyone else. These ancient gods were indeed not easy to deal with.
"What were you trying to say?" came the old tortoise's deep voice from above.
Xiao Wenbing dared not be negligent and immediately said, "As far as I know, those ancient gods seem to have left the divine realm and gone to create new worlds in another mustard seed space."
"Is that so?" The old tortoise fell silent unexpectedly. After a long while, it asked, "How did you know?"
"It's just hearsay."
"Perhaps so." The old tortoise raised its head and sighed, "Those fellows are all so restless, it wouldn't be surprising if they left. Ah, I'm so lucky. As long as I lie down, I don't have to worry about anything. How carefree and happy I am. Little friend, you should learn from me."
"Yes, I will certainly learn from you, sir," Xiao Wenbing said with a wry smile, though in his heart he didn't think so.
"Master, have you found them?" the tortoise shell suddenly asked.
"Don't rush, take your time, I'm not fully awake yet." The old tortoise said as it sent out its divine sense. After a moment, it said, "Found them. Hmm, they're all gathered together. Do they know that this old man is coming to make trouble for them?"
Xiao Wenbing's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "Are they all together?"
“Yes, it’s over there.” The Turtle God stretched its neck, but no one could tell which direction it was referring to. It continued to exclaim, “The little guys here are really interesting. They’ve all gathered in fourteen different places. They’re so easy to find.”
Xiao Wenbing was utterly awestruck by its divine power. In his divine sense, the divine energy here was incredibly mixed, making it impossible to discern the deity he was looking for.
But once the old tortoise stepped in, not only did he immediately find the main culprit, but he also gained a clear understanding of the power distribution throughout the entire divine realm. However, I've heard the Lonely God Lord say that there were only thirteen powerful forces in the divine realm, so how come there are now fourteen?
"Let's go, let's go," the Turtle God urged from the side. "Let's finish them off as soon as possible, I'm very busy."
Xiao Wenbing secretly scorned him. For this ancient god, apart from sleeping, there was probably nothing that could be called busy.
Led by the old tortoise, they flew straight toward their goal.
Their destination was a sea of clouds in the far distance. If they flew straight there, they would have to pass through the territories of two other extremely powerful forces.
Xiao Wenbing intended to take a detour, but the old tortoise didn't care at all and just crashed into him.
Although the Turtle God is very fast, it is by no means so fast that it is impossible for anyone to react.
The gods who were initially blocking the way all made the same choice: they quickly gathered their divine domains and avoided the old tortoise's massive body, which was hundreds of feet wide.
However, not all gods possess such virtues of humility. After flying smoothly for a distance, the first challenger finally appeared.
Calling him a challenger wouldn't be accurate, as the deity didn't make any deliberate provocative moves. However, when faced with the flying old tortoise, he didn't dodge away like the other deities around him, but instead began to slowly but steadily expand his divine domain.
This is a defensive stance used when gods clash, opening their own divine domains to pull the opponent's divine body into their own. Then, from within their own divine domain, they launch the most ferocious and deadly attack on the enemy.
When two deities meet, they can usually tell each other's true strength simply by sensing each other's divine realm.
At this moment, a deity who had ascended to godhood hundreds of millions of years ago officially opened his divine domain and issued a challenge to the Turtle God.
All the gods waited quietly, their divine senses focused on this place, wanting to see just how vast the divine realm possessed by the first god who came from ancient times was.
However, to everyone's disappointment, the Turtle God had no intention of opening its divine domain at all. It simply and easily flew into the other party's divine domain in its divine body.
Volume 23, Chapter 2: The Gods
------------------------
The deity blocking the way for the Turtle God possessed a vast divine domain, tens of millions of feet in size. Although the old turtle was also a giant, it was nothing compared to this divine domain.
However, the power of a divine realm is not always determined by its size.
The old tortoise flew over lazily as always, seemingly rushing into the other's divine realm without any warning.
Energy fluctuations surged within the divine realm of that deity, a special divine power attribute poised to unleash its power.
Everyone's hearts were in their throats. This was the first time since these people became true gods that they had been so interested in something.
Because they knew that the deity had been angered by the old tortoise's actions.
This behavior shows that the old tortoise did not take the other party seriously at all. Entering the divine realm of another god with a divine body is tantamount to suicide unless the other party is the main god.
Even a supreme god would not dare to make such a rash decision when facing lesser gods.
But the old tortoise did just that, and it did so in front of a supreme god.
Everyone knew, and sensed, the old tortoise's hidden contempt and domineering aura beneath its lazy movements.
That was blatant contempt, an arrogant and domineering attitude. Powerful divine energy surged within the divine realm, and like a monstrous wave, energy raged wildly ten miles away from the Turtle God.
Countless beautiful landscapes in the divine realm vanished in an instant, and all the energy transformed into a massive storm that displayed its terrifying power within the divine realm.
However, this deathly energy always lingered ten miles around the old tortoise, and not a single wisp of energy dared to easily invade its divine body. Although it seemed that they could easily tear the old tortoise to pieces, this possibility seemed so unbelievable.
The Turtle God seemed oblivious to all these changes, continuing to fly forward at its usual speed. No energy leaked from its body, and it remained completely unaffected by the overwhelming, powerful force.
A truly wondrous sight appeared in the realm of the gods.
As the Turtle God flew forward one meter, the surging energy storms swirling around it also moved forward one meter.
Whether in front of the Turtle God, behind it, or even around it, all the energy moved forward by exactly one meter.
The earth-shattering energy didn't seem to be threatening the Turtle God. Instead, it seemed to be protecting it, maintaining a distance of more than ten miles at all times.
The realm of the gods is vast, yet it still has an end.
Before long, the old tortoise had already flown to the edge of the divine realm.
The energy within the divine realm surged even more violently. The soaring, transparent, and enormous energy storm was no less powerful than the violent force within the lightning zone.
Just as the Turtle God was about to leave the Divine Realm, the energy within the Divine Realm finally reached its peak.
Ten meters, nine meters...
