“There are many Divine Kingdoms in the Southern Heaven Continent, and many years have passed, but the Divine Kingdoms still remain the same,” Yun He said, “The Lord of our Divine Kingdom belongs to the same faction as his predecessor, the founder of our Righteous Divine Kingdom. Only members of the faction can inherit the Lord’s Decree. The Lord’s Decree is said to be a divine item that seizes the fortune of heaven and earth and that it was left behind by the God of Creation. It’s much more powerful than a prominent divine artifact with a complete artifact soul. In the capital of a Divine Kingdom, even if the Lord isn’t a Supreme God, he or she would still have the might of a Supreme God. If it’s outside the capital and within the territory of the Divine Kingdom, the Lord would have the might of an advanced Supreme God even if he or she is only a rudimentary Supreme God as long as he or she possesses the Lord’s Decree. In a Divine Kingdom, the Lord is peerless. If a Lord is killed outside of his or her Divine Kingdom, others wouldn’t be able to seize the Lord’s Decree. The Lord’s Decree would automatically return to the capital and the royal family. If someone tries to forcefully snatch the Lord’s Decree, even if he or she is an advanced Supreme God, he or she still won’t be able to escape death!”

Duan Ling Tian jolted slightly upon hearing Yun He’s words. He no longer dared to underestimate the various Divine Kingdoms in the Southern Heaven Continent anymore. Although most of the Lords of the Divine Kingdoms in the Southern Heaven Continent were only rudimentary Supreme Gods, they possessed the Lord’s Decree that made them invincible in their respective Divine Kingdoms. Even advanced Supreme Gods were helpless against them.

‘The God of Creation… It seems that Lord’s Decrees are supreme treasures left by the supreme powerhouses for the rulers of the Divine Kingdoms. They serve as the foundation for the Divine Kingdoms. With them, the position of ruler will be passed down peacefully in the royal families…’

Even if one was an advanced Supreme God and the Lord of a Divine Kingdom was only a rudimentary Supreme God, one still would not be able to rebel and seize the throne. After all, as long as the Lord of the Divine Kingdom remained in his or her territory, he or she would possess the might of an advanced Supreme God with the Lord’s Decree.

“Needless to say, the Lord’s Decree is recognized as an important heirloom. It holds unparalleled powers…” Yun He said. His expression was solemn, and his gaze shone with reverence when he spoke about the Lord’s Decree.

!!

‘The Lord’s Decree…’

Duan Ling Tian was also surprised by the power of the Lord’s Decree. With the Lord’s Decree, the Lords of the Divine Kingdoms had no need to fear anyone in their respective Divine Kingdoms. Even strong forces with advanced Supreme Gods would not be able to do anything as long as they were in the territory of the Divine Kingdoms. The only way was if the Lord of a Divine Kingdom left his or her Divine Kingdom, rendering the Lord’s Decree useless.

After a moment, Duan Ling Tian asked Yun He curiously, “Destiny Canyon isn’t in the territories of any of the Divine Kingdoms in the Southern Heaven Continent… Aren’t the Lords of the various Divine Kingdoms worried about dying after leaving their respective territories?”

Upon hearing this, Yun He smiled faintly before he replied, “The Battle of the Divine Kingdoms happens only once every 10,000 years. Every 10,000 years, all the royal families of the Divine Kingdoms can offer sacrifices to the heavens. The purpose of the sacrificial ritual is to ask the God of Creation to bestow supreme divine power to the Lords and the Lord’s Decrees. For a year, the Lord Decrees will still grant them power as though they were in their respective territories anywhere in the Southern Heaven Continent. With this, they don’t have to worry about leaving their territories since they can still wield the power of the Lord’s Decrees. Due to the time, Destiny Canyon only stays open for ten months each time it opens. During the first month, the Lords of the Divine Kingdoms will bring their subordinates to Destiny Canyon, and they have to return to their respective Divine Kingdoms before the end of the final month. Otherwise, when the Lord’s Decrees return to normal, the Lords risk death…”

With this explanation, Duan Ling Tian finally understood why the Lords of the various Divine Kingdoms were so confident about leaving their respective Divine Kingdoms and personally leading their subordinates to Destiny Canyon. Due to the sacrificial ritual, there was no need for them to worry about people or forces causing trouble outside their respective Divine Kingdoms or in Destiny Canyon.

Previously, Duan Ling Tian had heard that there were many powerful forces outside of Divine Kingdoms. These forces had many powerhouses who were intermediate and advanced Supreme Gods. Many of these forces were not any weaker than a Divine Kingdom. At that time, Duan Ling Tian thought that it would not be difficult for these forces to stir up trouble in a Divine Kingdom if they so wished. However, now that he learned about the Lord’s Decree, he finally realized that despite their strength, these forces were unable to cause trouble in a Divine Kingdom. With the protection from the Lord’s Decree and the God of Creation, no one could seize the throne of a Divine Kingdom unless it was the will of the God of Creation.

‘The Lords of the Divine Kingdoms are only invincible in their respective territories. The once-in-10,000-year sacrificial ritual would grant them temporary exemption during the opening of Destiny Canyon. With this, it’s unlikely for the Lords to seize the chance to expand their respective territories. In any case, the reason the Divine Kingdoms and the powerful forces outside of the Divine Kingdoms can coexist peacefully is due to the Lord’s Decrees…’

Duan Ling Tian was immersed in his thoughts as they traveled to the Righteous Divine Kingdom from the Divine Spirit Mansion. He had many speculations, and he also confirmed many of them after speaking to Yun He.

They were still traveling when Yun He raised his hand and intercepted a Communication Jade. After a moment, he smiled as he looked at Duan Ling Tian and said, “Brother Ling Tian, I’ve received a reply from our Lord. He has asked me to take you to him as soon as we arrive at the capital. The Lord cherishes talent so he definitely won’t mistreat you, Brother Ling Tian.”

Although the Lords of the Divine Kingdoms were peerless in their respective Divine Kingdoms, it would not be so once they left their Divine Kingdoms. After leaving their Divine Kingdoms, they would not be a match for most of the supreme-rank forces outside of their Divine Kingdoms. As such, the Lords of the Divine Kingdoms would naturally seize the chance to forge a connection with powerful people.

In the past, during the time when Destiny Canyon was open, there were many Lords of the Divine Kingdoms, along with their subordinates, who relied on their Lord’s Decrees to act arrogantly, offending many supreme-rank forces.

As such, even if the supreme-rank forces would not be able to seize the Divine Kingdom, they would still retaliate. They would wait until the Lord’s Decree returned to normal before they patrolled and waited outside of the Divine Kingdom. They would kill those who dared to venture out of the territory of the Divine Kingdom. Under those circumstances, people of the Divine Kingdom would not dare to leave the Divine Kingdom, causing them to miss out on many fortuitous encounters. Even the Lord of the Divine Kingdom would not dare to rashly leave the Divine Kingdom since the Lord’s Decree would be useless once he or she left the kingdom.

Due to the lesson from the past, many Divine Kingdoms were now very cautious. Although the Lord’s Decrees would be effective outside their Divine Kingdoms for a year during the opening of Destiny Canyon, they kept a low profile and did not dare to provoke others.

Conversely, as long as the Divine Kingdoms did not provoke them, the supreme-rank forces would also not provoke the Divine Kingdoms without reason.

If one was attacked even if one did not provoke anyone, there was no doubt the other party was in the wrong. However, if one was killed for provoking the other party, the other party could not be blamed for their actions.

“Thank you for putting in a good word for me, Brother Yun He,” Duan Ling Tian said. It was not difficult for him to guess that Yun He must have spoken highly about him to the Lord of the Righteous Divine Kingdom.

Yun He nodded in response. Although the two people with him were his confidants, it was obvious that he did not want to be heard when he continued to say to Duan Ling Tian through Voice Transmission, “When you see the Lord, there’s no need to be so reserved. Apart from that, there’s no need for you to speak directly. As long as you indirectly show that you’re not someone who forgets favor, it’ll be enough. The Lord is invincible in the Righteous Divine Kingdom, but he’s no different from an ordinary rudimentary Supreme God after leaving the kingdom. As such, even if he knows of fortuitous encounters outside of the kingdom, there’s nothing he could but watch as others compete over the fortuitous encounters. Many Lords of the Divine Kingdoms would befriend powerhouses outside of their Divine Kingdoms, and some of them would even ally themselves with the supreme-rank forces through arranged marriages. With a good relationship, the Lords would naturally be protected by those supreme-rank forces. With this, the Lords would have less to worry about when leaving their respective territories to search for fortuitous encounters.”

“Many of the Lords of the Divine Kingdoms who are intermediate Supreme Gods became one due to the fortuitous encounters they found outside of their Divine Kingdoms. Without fortuitous encounters, they could only hope to break through in Destiny Canyon, but as you know, Destiny Canyon isn’t open all the time. Apart from that, if they were very lucky, a fortuitous encounter might appear in their respective Divine Kingdoms, and they would be able to seize the chance to break through.”

Yun He paused for a moment before he continued to say, “Brother Ling Tian, with your heaven-defying talent and comprehension skills, when you become a Supreme God in the future, you’ll definitely trigger the opening of a supreme-grade secret realm filled with fortuitous encounters. Just showing your potential to become a Supreme God in front of our Lord will be enough to win our Lord’s heart.”

Duan Ling Tian’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing Yun He’s words.

‘So there are supreme-grade secret realms as well when one breaks through and becomes a Supreme God just like when one becomes an Emperor of Gods?’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as he sighed inwardly, ‘What a pity… Although I’m confident about becoming a Supreme God, it’s impossible for me to do so in the Trial of Gods. I wonder if breaking through and becoming a Supreme God on the Realm Battlefield will trigger something like the supreme-grade secret realm?’

Duan Ling Tian felt that he had a high chance of becoming a Supreme God on the Realm Battlefield, but he was not sure if it would trigger the opening of something like the supreme-grade secret realm.

‘I’ll have to ask Third Senior Brother about this after I leave this place…’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.

Duan Ling Tian and Yun He continued chatting for a while before Duan Ling Tian finally found a corner to cultivate.

Upon seeing this, Yun He sat cross-legged and closed his eyes as well. However, no one knew if he was resting or cultivating.

As for the two people with Yun He, they remained standing and monitored the surroundings of the flying ship through the Mirror Image in the flying ship. After all, even if they were traveling at the speed of an advanced Emperor of Gods, it did not mean that they were safe. There were many hunters who were Supreme Gods in the wild.
