Chapter 682 The First True Dragon
The fifth grand court meeting is worthy of being recorded in the history of heaven. It praised the most people, criticized and punished the most people, solved the most problems in various departments, promised to recruit the most people, issued the most immortal salaries, and had the most far-reaching impact on the future. These many "mosts" are enough to illustrate the problem.
After the fifth grand court meeting, the number of star fields increased to forty-eight in just a few years. Now, a star field is either presided over by a Daluo Golden Immortal or several Taiyi Golden Immortals, each of which is responsible for a star system and controls the nebula, which is a perfect job.
But the ones who can really get this kind of good job are basically those who are in high positions of power or the direct descendants of the emperor and empress. The emperor and empress would rather use Daluo Taoist soldiers or Taiyi Taoist soldiers to manage the star field, and it is impossible for them to hand over the star field to other unreliable Taiyi gods and demons. Unfortunately, no one can refute it, which makes many immortals depressed.
Under such circumstances, as the news of the expansion spread, more and more immortals chose to join the Heavenly Court. Whether they wanted to be heavenly soldiers or generals, or immortal officials, it was an excellent choice. The important thing was to gain the recognition and trust of the emperor and empress. As long as they did not make any mistakes, their future would be infinitely bright.
Heaven, imperial garden.
"It's only been a few years," Ji Shuanghua said with emotion, "The Eight Desolate Universe is bustling again."
"Compared to the expedition, it is better for the star field to appear," Immortal Master Mohen also nodded, "By the way, the Eight Desolate Universe has contained many universes, but hasn't it been broken through yet?"
"The size and potential of the Eight Desolate Universe are unmatched by other Daluo-level universes," the Empress explained. "As soon as the Eight Desolate Universe broke through the Daluo-level universe, its space was close to that of the Saint Universe. It is still on the path of the multiverse, so if it wants to be promoted to the Saint Universe, these Golden Immortal-level universes are not enough."
"So, the Emperor hasn't come out yet?" Tu Ruoyan asked.
After she became the Golden Immortal, the aura of disaster in her body was restrained to the extreme, making her much stronger than the Five Demon Gods of Natural Disasters. She looked like an ordinary female immortal, but a little cold and aloof, making it difficult for people to get close to her. Only when facing the Emperor would she show concern.
"The Emperor will not come out of retreat until the Eight Desolate Universe is promoted to a Saint Universe." The Empress said, "You don't have to worry. As the number of universes accommodated increases, many multiverses have been born in the Eight Desolate Universe. Now there are more than a million small worlds below the Golden Immortal, 50,000 Golden Immortal Universes, and more than a dozen Taiyi Universes."
Not only have star fields appeared in the Eight Desolate Universe, but there are also many multiverses. The previous multiverses were basically the same in terms of geography and planetary style as the Eight Desolate Universe, but the current multiverse is similar to the Golden Immortal Universe that was accommodated in the Eight Desolate Universe. Some multiverses even contain the characteristics of many Golden Immortal Universes.
The emergence of the long river of vitality has brought endless benefits to the multiverse. Many small worlds will be promoted to Golden Immortal-level universes over time as they are nourished by the vitality. Some immortals will ascend from the multiverse to the heaven to supplement the number of people in the heaven.
There are also some Golden Immortal-level universes that will merge with the Taiyi-level universes in the multiverse to form new star fields. For example, the 48th star field is the Chaoyin star field, which is the star field occupied by Fairy Chaoyin alone. After all, she is a disciple of the Emperor, and no one dares to object. They all think that Fairy Chaoyin is qualified.
Not to mention issues like the emperor and empress's preference, the fusion of the multiverse and other universes into a star field is itself a good thing. The immortals of the Eight Desolate Universe still have prejudices against the multiverse. Now that it has turned into a star field, the immortals can also go there, and the immortals from the multiverse can also go there, which undoubtedly speeds up the recognition between each other.
The Emperor and Empress talked about the matters of the star field with many Heavenly Concubines. She wanted the Heavenly Concubines to also be in charge of the star field. According to the Emperor and Empress's meaning, Immortal Master Mo Hen would be in charge of the Mo Hen Star Field, Tu Ruoyan would be in charge of the Wan Yao Star Field, Ji Shuanghua would be in charge of the Xuefu Star Field, then the remaining Heavenly Concubines would have to be in charge of the star field as well.
Chu Wuxia is in charge of the Wuxia Star Domain, Pei Dong'er is in charge of the Winter Star Domain, Li Yueli is in charge of the Yueli Star Domain, and Mei Xianren is in charge of the Qingmei Star Domain. This is not only the Emperor and Empress planning benefits for the Heavenly Concubines, but also the Heavenly Concubines helping the Emperor and Empress to sit in charge of the star domains, because it is certain that the number of star domains will not be small.
Faced with such a good thing, the girls naturally agreed.
During the 50,500 years of the Eight Desolate Calendar, the Heavenly Concubines each ruled a star field, and their personal armies helped to rule and manage the major galaxies. Outsiders were not allowed to enter the Heavenly Concubine's star field. If one wanted to enter the star field, one needed to obtain a permit and a pass, and non-local immortals in the star field were not allowed to enter without permission.
This year, the number of star fields in the Eight Desolate Universe exceeded one hundred, and the Golden Immortal-level universes and Taiyi-level universes along the expeditionary route were integrated into the Eight Desolate Universe. Now, the entire southwest direction of the universe seemed to have been bitten by a huge hole, and it became blank, without any universe appearing.
At this time, the size of the Eight Desolate Universe had long surpassed that of the Saint Universe. Logically speaking, such a universe would have huge problems, but with the increase of star fields, the long river of vitality also increased, and the clone of the Heavenly Dao became more and more powerful, and the problems that were worried about before were no longer a problem.
This result is beyond the imagination of many people and makes the heaven more and more attractive.
As the future plan of the Heavenly Court at the Fifth Grand Court Assembly began to be gradually implemented, the entire Heavenly Court became orderly, the star fields within were quickly managed without any mistakes, and the star fields also communicated with each other. Some star fields were not open to the outside world and seemed very mysterious.
The Eight Desolations Universe has been changing with each passing day. The most obvious thing is that immortal robes are no longer the mainstream. Immortal armor was popular for a while, followed by short-sleeved immortal robes, and then more modern clothing, and slowly transitioned to tights and long robes. Not only clothes, but all kinds of customs and habits have collided with the fusion of major universes.
One hundred star fields, totaling at least one million Golden Immortal-level universes, ten Taiyi-level universes, and five Daluo-level universes. This number will only be more and not less. In the past, they were just affiliated universes, but after being integrated into the Eight Desolate Universes, they became different.
This year, a gust of vital energy blew out from the Long River of Vital Energy and swept across the entire Eight Desolate Universe. This gust of vital energy brought new hope and the direction of Tao. Many people took advantage of it to make breakthroughs, not only in their cultivation, but also in their magical powers and spells. The entire Eight Desolate Universe underwent invisible changes.
It has become bigger, bigger than the Saint Universe, at least one tenth bigger. In such a large universe, the number of stars and galaxies is three or four times that of the Saint Universe. If there is no River of Yuan Qi, the future of these universes will be directly destroyed, without any surprises.
Now with the Long River of Vitality, the Eight Desolate Universe will only get better and better, and there will be no surprises.
After 50,600 years of the Eight Desolate Calendar, not long after the Wind of Vitality blew by, Uncle Long of Ao Zhen successfully awakened all his memories. His cultivation also made a complete breakthrough and reached the Golden Immortal level. His dragon-horse bloodline transformed, and with the help of the influence of the Wind of Vitality, he successfully advanced to the Golden Immortal level of dragon bloodline and transformed into a dragon successfully.
After successfully transforming into a dragon, he was rewarded by the Emperor and Empress, who allowed him to open up a dragon clan in the Heavenly Palace. For this purpose, a fairy island was specially selected for him to live in, and he was even given a mansion and a fairy position. After the news spread, it aroused envy, especially from the fairies of the demon clan and the monster clan.
No matter what, he is a dragon, the real first dragon. Following his wishes, he still uses Ao as his surname. The Heavenly Court conferred him the title of Ao Yi, and there are dragon patterns on his mansion. This is not allowed for other immortal officials, because in the Heavenly Court, the dragon itself is a totem representing the emperor.
Aoyi successfully broke through the circle and became a celebrity with the body of a golden immortal. Although it was not voluntary, he felt pretty good, especially since Ao Zhen contacted him through Skynet through Zhao Qinghe's clone, which made Aoyi even happier.
"Uncle Long, do you still remember me?" Ao Zhen asked excitedly.
"Don't mention your mother. I also remember you, little brat," Ao Yi said with a smile, "I won't say anything else. What I said before is invalid. I'm fine here."
"Is it because of Skynet?" Ao Zhen's face changed.
"It's because of Skynet and reincarnation," Aoyi said with emotion, "In the process of continuous reincarnation, I have already had the mark of Heaven on me. Now I have been canonized and become the first true dragon in Heaven. I have great fortune, which is more beneficial than returning to the Dragon's Nest. Don't say I can't go back. Even if I can go back, I don't want to go back."
"Ah, this..." Ao Zhen was stunned.
"Senior Ao is telling the truth," Zhao Qinghe said with a smile, "The Heavenly Court has gathered the luck of the entire Eight Desolate Universe, which is enough to break through to the Golden Immortal Realm. As the first True Dragon in the Eight Desolate Universe, Senior Ao will make rapid progress in the next ten thousand years. This opportunity is rare and should not be missed. Perhaps there will be another True Dragon Star Region in the future."
"Hahaha, this is exactly what I want," Ao said with a big laugh. "If we can really successfully obtain the star field, I hope that the dragon clan can send some people to join the heavenly court. A star field is as large as tens of thousands of golden fairy-level universes, and the benefits are endless. At least it is better than what we have in the Dragon Nest."
"If this gets passed back, Longchao will probably think it's treasonous and even think that you are controlled by the Heavenly Court." Ao Zhen said with a wry smile.
"Let them guess whatever they want!" Ao Yi smiled. "Let me tell you this. The Eight Desolate Universe is about to be promoted to the Saint Universe. If I can recover to the Taiyi level before then and witness the promotion of the universe, then as long as I'm a little luckier, I can seize the opportunity to be promoted to Daluo."
"If we can really be promoted to the Saint Universe, Dragon Nest should be fine." Ao Zhen said.
"You can ask the Dragon Nest to contact You Wanli directly," Ao Yi said, "or you can ask the people of the Dragon Clan to wait. It won't take long anyway."
"Okay!" Ao Zhen thought for a moment and said, "So should I return to the Dragon's Nest, or?"
"It's up to you what you choose," Ao Yi said, "Just take this message to Dragon Nest. If everything goes well and I become a Golden Immortal, I will go to Dragon Nest and take my descendants away. Being in charge of Dragon Nest is not as good as guarding a star field alone. I will reproduce here."
The call ended quickly, mainly because it was very exhausting. He was only a Golden Immortal, not Taiyi, and he didn't have that many resources to waste. After he ended the call, he went into seclusion. Originally, he was a pawn of Dragon Nest to test Heaven, with the purpose of seeing if Heaven was really that mysterious.
Facts have proved that once you enter the Eight Desolate Universe, you don’t want to leave. The immortals in the Eight Desolate Universe may not feel it, but as a veteran Taiyi-level true dragon, especially the old dragon who has been to the Saint Universe and the Universe Domain, his feeling this time when he awakened was the most obvious and direct, that is, the Eight Desolate Universe is full of vitality.
Even the Saint Universe does not have such vitality. He did not even understand why before. Now that Aoyi has awakened and all his memories have been restored, he knows that this is because the Eight Desolate Universe was born too short, only a little over 50,000 years ago. If such a universe is not preserved, wouldn’t it be a sign of incompleteness?
"Hang up just like that?" Ao Zhen was speechless.
"It must be very costly for a Golden Immortal to use Skynet to communicate over such a long distance," Zhao Qinghe said with a smile, "He is the first True Dragon canonized by the Emperor and Empress, otherwise I wouldn't dare to play like this. You don't have to worry about him, he will live very comfortably in Heaven."
"I think so," Ao Zhen said, "But will the Eight Desolate Universe really be promoted to the Saint Universe? Can the Lord of the Universe be promoted so quickly?"
"I have never seen other universe masters, but Emperor Zun is indeed extraordinary," Zhao Qinghe smiled. "You should know the news. Our Eight Desolate Universe is absorbing other universes. Those universes will have some power spreading and merging into the Eight Desolate Universe. Maybe this is the secret?"
"Maybe!" Ao Zhen shook his head, not caring about what he said.
If one could become a saint simply by devouring the universe, then there would be no universe in the entire universe. Being a saint is not a simple accumulation of power, but involves laws. Ao Zhen is not an ignorant dragon, but an elite of the dragon clan.
After bidding farewell to Zhao Qinghe, Ao Zhen told Long Chao about Ao Yi's affairs, and also told him the secret that Ao Yi refused to tell Heaven and the Eight Desolate Universe. Such things should not be concealed. The more they are concealed, the easier it is to cause problems. The responsibility is also heavy, and he cannot afford it.
There was no response from Dragon's Nest for the time being. Ao Zhen fell into deep thought alone. He knew Ao Yi very well. The fact that Ao Yi was chosen by Dragon's Nest showed that he was very loyal to the dragon clan. But now he had such a reaction. It was hard to say that Heaven did not try to control or brainwash him.
To put it another way, if Dragon Nest was Heaven, it would also take corresponding measures, but Ao Zhen was very interested in what Ao Yi said about the universe promotion. He had only heard of such a heaven-defying opportunity as universe promotion but had never encountered it. It takes a lot of time for a universe to be born and grow.
Even the dragon clan has only been heard of, but no one has ever actually seen a dragon. However, there are related records in the Saint Universe, saying that most of the universe's promotion is in the hands of the Lord of the Universe. It is impossible for an ordinary universe to be promoted unless there is a heaven-defying opportunity.
"If there really is an opportunity for cosmic advancement, it might be a good idea to join the Heavenly Court." Ao Zhen murmured in a low voice.
Taking refuge with Holy Mother Jin Ming is also taking refuge, and taking refuge with a Lord of the Universe who has been promoted to the Saint realm is also taking refuge. They are all saints, so it is not wrong to choose the Lord of the Universe.
