The Fire God Lord actually managed to persuade the vast majority of the gods in the divine realm. And these gods are frequently plotting to become enemies with Xiao Wenbing.
Xiao Wenbing was very bold. But even with all his boldness, he dared not ignore this matter.
His foundation consisted of these tens of thousands of supreme gods. If the Fire God Lord's sneak attack succeeded, then all his hard work over the past hundred years would be in vain.
Therefore, Xiao Wenbing immediately decided to carry out a mass relocation.
The Underworld is the only place in all planes that can be compared to the God Realm. Once there, these ten thousand or so gods can continue their cultivation.
Moreover, in the Cave of Divine Artifacts, everyone can obtain a divine artifact that suits them, in addition to the unexpected peaches of immortality.
Xiao Wenbing was confident that within ten years, everyone's strength would reach a peak. Even if they were still not as good as Huo De Shenjun, they would definitely not be at a disadvantage compared to ordinary supreme gods who had cultivated for hundreds of millions of years.
When the time comes, nearly 20,000 supreme gods will return to the divine realm. That will be the best time for me to fight to the death with the Fire God and others.
Of course, Xiao Wenbing wouldn't tell the gods his thoughts. He only used the excuse that he had discovered a large number of divine artifacts in the underworld, which was why he sent his faction to try their luck.
Originally, the gods were somewhat reluctant to leave the divine realm, and even a little uneasy. But after hearing about the divine artifact, their eyes lit up, and they transformed into wolves, wishing they could leave immediately.
At this moment, everyone was in high spirits. No one felt even a little bit discouraged.
Xiao Wenbing used a guiding technique to send a divine thought to Feng Baiyi, conveying everything that had happened here and his decision.
After a moment of surprise, Feng Baiyi still managed to create a vast space for them within the Thunder God's Forbidden Land. It was more than enough to accommodate nearly 20,000 gods.
However, being expelled from the God Realm so quietly was not Xiao Wenbing's usual style. So privately, he still planned to seek revenge.
Before the gods departed, Xiao Wenbing instructed them to leave behind a portion of their divine power. In this way, even if the Fire God and the others were incredibly powerful, they wouldn't be able to discern in a short time that the place was actually deserted, leaving only a trace of divine power.
What Xiao Wenbing wanted to do became even simpler: he wanted to stir up trouble.
If one were to encounter such a situation when their strength is insufficient, they would naturally have no choice but to swallow their anger. However, with his current strength, he can still manage to engage in minor skirmishes.
The interaction between deities is based on the connection of divine thoughts to determine each other's identities. Once divine power is established, it cannot be changed; the only way to improve it is through continuous cultivation.
Even if some gods want to conceal their identities, they can only suppress their divine power and aura, making it impossible for others to understand their true nature. However, completely transforming their divine power is absolutely impossible.
However, for Xiao Wenbing, changing the nature of divine power was as simple as eating cabbage.
Transforming into a gentle breeze, it traveled with the winds of the divine realm to the distant realm of a lesser god.
There is a strict hierarchy among the gods. Lesser gods, due to the impurity and variability of their divine power, will encounter a bottleneck once their cultivation reaches a certain level, making it difficult for them to advance any further in their lifetime.
But in Xiao Wenbing's eyes, such a deity was the best candidate to carry out his plan.
After searching through the divine realm, I found a large bag.
This large bag, called the Heaven and Earth Bag, is one of the more than a thousand most powerful divine artifacts collected in the Underworld. Among these artifacts, Xiao Wenbing only selected three and marked them with his own divine power.
The large bag is one of them. This shows how wondrous it is. Even among ten thousand divine artifacts, it is one of the best.
Indeed, that is the case. The Heaven and Earth Bag is named after Heaven and Earth, and the bag itself contains its own world. However, if that were all, Xiao Wenbing wouldn't have valued the Heaven and Earth Bag so highly.
While it is rare to create one's own world, it is not unique. Among the many divine artifacts, at least several possess similar functions.
The reason why Xiao Wenbing valued this Heaven and Earth Bag so much was because it had a special function: it could contain the physical form of a deity.
While ordinary divine artifacts are powerful, they are rarely effective against gods possessing divine power. The biggest reason for this is the divine domain that gods possess.
As long as the divine realm exists, the god is essentially a continuous source of combat power, making him a minor god. Once he perfects his divine realm, its power will be so great that even the supreme god cannot defeat him in a short time. This shows the importance of the divine realm to the god.
However, it's unknown which deity came up with this Heaven and Earth Bag on a whim. It turned out to be a sinister treasure specifically crafted to deal with the true form of a deity.
Once the deity's body is covered by this bag, the deity's body can be separated from his oracle. Then, he can be easily trapped inside the bag.
Of course, the premise of using this bag is to catch the enemy off guard. If it is discovered, the success rate will be greatly reduced, especially if the gods are on guard.
Slowly comprehending the divine domain attributes of the lesser god before him, after a long while, a faint smile appeared on Xiao Wenbing's lips.
The divine power attribute within him began to undergo a subtle change, a change that was slow and silent, attracting no attention whatsoever.
After a quiet day, Xiao Wenbing's divine power had become completely identical to that of this divine realm. With a sudden movement, he entered the divine realm.
Each deity's divine realm is like an alarm system; whatever enters the divine realm, that deity will immediately sense its presence.
However, this lesser god was also confused. No matter how powerful he was, he never expected that there would be such a freak as Xiao Wenbing in the divine realm. Similarly, he never expected that Xiao Wenbing, with his current status and identity in the divine realm, would cause him trouble.
Although the divine realm is wondrous, it will absolutely not show any resistance or vigilance when faced with an identical power.
Xiao Wenbing arrived smoothly at the center of the Divine Realm. An old Taoist priest with an air of otherworldly grace and radiant spirit was sitting cross-legged. Judging from his appearance, he was cultivating peacefully in the Divine Realm and had no idea that a great calamity was about to befall him.
He secretly took out the Heaven and Earth Bag. Xiao Wenbing silently said to himself, "I'm sorry."
In an instant, the deity teleported to the old Taoist's side. The deity had just become alert but never expected that the enemy had already safely crossed the divine realm and arrived beside his body.
So before he could even send out his divine thoughts, everything went black before his eyes, and the connection between his divine body and the divine realm had completely disappeared.
When I opened my eyes again, I was faced with a completely new world.
Leaving aside this unlucky lesser god, let's talk about how Xiao Wenbing, upon seeing that his sneak attack had succeeded, immediately merged his divine power into the opponent's divine domain.
That vast divine realm had just lost contact with its master. Just as divine power was about to surge, it suddenly discovered that the lost connection had been re-established. Thus, a certain unscrupulous raider successfully began the handover of the divine realm.
A dazzling light slowly rose from Xiao Wenbing's body. After three days and nights, he finally gained complete control over this divine realm.
Of course, his appearance had now completely changed to look exactly like that old Taoist priest.
With divine power and divine realm as witnesses, even if a solitary divine lord were to arrive now, he would have no chance of discovering any flaws.
With a slight smile, he reached into the Heaven and Earth Bag. The deity was strolling around inside when suddenly a large hand appeared in the air and firmly trapped him.
Just as he mustered his divine power to fight to the death with his opponent, he discovered that his divine power was restricted everywhere in this space, and he could not even exert one ten-thousandth of its power.
The next moment, all his personal belongings were taken away by this large hand, leaving him only with a set of clothes to cover his shame.
Looking at the giant hand that had suddenly disappeared, this minor god was truly heartbroken and could only pray for good fortune.
Xiao Wenbing picked out a jade cauldron from the collected odds and ends. This treasure was used by that lesser god for refining artifacts and making medicine. Since he was going to impersonate the other party, he naturally had to use the original.
He randomly put hundreds of kinds of junk materials into the cauldron, which he couldn't even remember, and then took out a super artifact with fire attributes and put it into it.
This super artifact is one of the thousands of artifacts on the stone pillar, but in terms of power, it is the worst of them all.
Although it is the worst of the thousands of divine artifacts, it is still a treasure left behind by the first generation of gods, and it is much better than the items in the hands of the gods today.
Instead of using magic to conceal the light emanating from the artifact, Xiao Wenbing loosened the protection of the divine realm, allowing the aura of this fire-attribute super artifact to spread rapidly.
Although the realm of gods is vast and boundless, there are only a few super artifacts of this caliber, and the power emanating from these super artifacts filled the entire realm of gods in an instant.
In an instant, countless divine thoughts flew toward Xiao Wenbing's location. In just a few breaths, the entire divine realm was in an uproar.
In this divine realm devoid of any defenses, all the gods could easily sense that this powerful aura originated from the jade cauldron before a minor god.
Just by looking at that lesser god gritting his teeth and looking like he was about to vomit blood, you can understand why this divine realm has become almost an empty shell.
That's because all the divine power in the divine realm had been drained by this lesser god, and his purpose was simple: to obtain the treasure within this jade cauldron.
Judging from the continuous surge of powerful pressure, this treasure should be a divine artifact, and a super divine artifact with immense and unparalleled power.
Although all the gods couldn't understand why a mere minor god could forge such a powerful super artifact, it was clear that the artifact was nearing completion.
Volume 23, Chapter 28: Provocation
------------------------
Greed, an uncontrollable greed, quickly spread among the gods.
It's a divine artifact, and a super divine artifact that only appears once every million years. Almost every god knows very well how powerful such a thing is.
This is a super baby that can take on challenges beyond its level!
If a lesser god obtains this artifact, he will have the ability to challenge higher gods. Similarly, a higher god who possesses this artifact will be able to challenge the supreme god and remain invincible.
Although there are some unspoken rules among the gods, these rules are nothing but a piece of paper when faced with sufficient benefits.
None of the gods who believed they had the strength to compete were willing to give up the opportunity to kill and plunder.
They were closely watching the lesser god's every move. The reason they didn't immediately rob him was because, judging from the information emanating from the jade cauldron, the divine artifact was not yet fully formed. Acting now might backfire. Whether the lesser god lived or died was irrelevant, but if the super artifact they were forging failed, it would be a tragedy.
Therefore, these powerful deities not only refrained from immediate action, but also tacitly set up numerous restrictions around the perimeter. While preventing the treasure from escaping, they also served as a warning to the other deities: "I've already set my sights on this thing; you little wretches shouldn't waste your time."
It must be said that although this move made countless higher and lower gods hate it to the bone, it did achieve very good results. The vast majority of gods who knew their own strength was insufficient had to back down.
Xiao Wenbing witnessed all of this. He sneered inwardly. All his painstaking efforts were to incite conflict in the God Realm. If these powerful figures managed to control the situation, what would be the point of his game?
His eyes darted around, and an idea immediately came to him. He slowly channeled a stream of divine power into the jade cauldron, and in an instant, divine light shone brightly around the cauldron, with colorful clouds flying everywhere.
"Watch out! The divine artifact is about to appear!" a voice shouted. Everyone's hearts tightened simultaneously.
Xiao Wenbing suddenly widened his eyes and shouted, "Open!"
The jade cauldron suddenly exploded from the inside. Countless fragments, mixed with scorching divine power, rushed into the innermost circle of supreme gods.
"Ouch..."
Countless screams rose and fell. The supreme gods initially paid no attention to the scattering fragments, thus not giving them sufficient attention.
Unexpectedly, under Xiao Wenbing's special blessing, each of these fragments possessed immense power, and the heat they contained was no less than that of a super treasure forged through countless trials. Therefore, caught off guard, they all suffered greatly.
Of course, some supreme gods, due to the conflicting attributes, don't care about this heat and easily resolve it.
Xiao Wenbing was secretly shocked. It turned out that the God Realm was also full of hidden talents, with as many experts as the four races of the Underworld.
At this moment, Xiao Wenbing was holding a round bead that was spinning continuously in his hand.
The round bead was bright red. Colorful light slowly rose from it. Immense divine power emanated from it; it was truly a genuine super artifact.
A supreme god silently approached the weary old Taoist priest and reached out to grab the round bead.
This supreme god was very lucky. His divine power was of the fire element, so when the jade cauldron fragments hit him, it was like ice melting in water, causing no damage whatsoever.
Upon seeing the round bead, he immediately recognized it as a top-tier earth-fire attribute artifact. If it fell into his hands, he could unleash its full power, and his strength would leap forward significantly, reaching a level comparable to the Fire Virtue God. That's why he disregarded his status and was the first to make a move.
Just as his hand was about to grasp the bead, he suddenly felt a chill run through his body; his entire body was frozen solid.
Not only that, several streams of energy, imbued with an aura of destruction, rushed towards him simultaneously.
In that instant, he realized that if he stayed where he was, he would be annihilated by the numerous gods of the same level before he could even snatch the bead.
Terrified, he had no choice but to prioritize his own survival. He abandoned the divine artifact that was right in front of him and retreated with all his might.
