484: Ascending to the God Realm

“Yes, Old Ancestor, this Disciple will take you out now!”

Hearing this, Leaf Not Ordinary waved his hand and opened a rift in the space above the chaos divine cauldron. Then, he flew out of the chaos divine cauldron along with Wu Youkun and the others, including Night Owl and his group.

Returning to the outside of the rift in the Immortal Universe, Leaf Not Ordinary waved his hand, shrinking the chaos divine cauldron and putting it into his Storage Space.

“Let's go, we're returning to the Immortal Universe!”

Seeing Leaf Not Ordinary put away the chaos divine cauldron, Wu Youkun called out, and then flew into the Immortal Universe with the others.

Just as the group returned to the Immortal Universe.

Above the vast sky of a world filled with ruins and broken walls, a roar echoed.

“Hateful Heavenly Dao, do you think letting those ants come up can stop me from devouring you? Dream on!”

At this moment, deep in the sky, in front of a huge, dazzling ball of light, a Demon God—who resembled the demon god statue but was tens of millions of times larger—was savagely extracting power from within the light ball.

As the power drained away, the light ball's radiance gradually dimmed, emitting a mournful sound.

[Ding, received special command. The System issues a mission: the Host must Ascend to the Divine Realm within one day and establish a Sect there. If the Host delays, the System will erase the Host.]

The moment the light ball emitted its mournful cry, the System's voice suddenly rang out in the ear of Jiang Chen, who was enjoying Liu Shu's exquisite service inside the Qingtian Immortal Sect.

“What the hell! dog system, what are you going crazy about? Why issue a mission like this?” Hearing the sudden mission from the System, Jiang Chen cursed with a baffled expression.

When he was in the Lower Realm, although the System urged him to go to the Immortal Realm, it never took any drastic actions.

Now, the System suddenly issued a mission without warning, demanding he go to the Divine Realm immediately, which truly left him confused.

[Ding, the Host does not need to ask so many questions; simply complete the System's mission.]

The System's cold voice rang out in Jiang Chen's ear again.

“Damn it!”

Hearing the System's cold tone, Jiang Chen couldn't help but curse the System and its ancestors for 180 generations.

Although he was cursing the System verbally, his body honestly stood up, preparing to summon Li Big Saber to hand over the Sect's affairs before Ascending to the Divine Realm.

After all, cursing was one thing, but he couldn't joke around with his life. If he failed to complete the System's mission, given the System's nature, he would certainly be in great danger.

“Subordinate Li Big Saber greets Sect Master. May I ask what instructions Sect Master has?”

Receiving Jiang Chen's summons, Li Big Saber quickly arrived in the center of the Main Hall, bowed respectfully to Jiang Chen on the main seat, and asked.

“Big Saber, This Sect Master is preparing to Ascend to the Divine Realm. All affairs of the Immortal Realm will be handed over to you. After This Sect Master Ascends, you must Cultivate diligently and arrange for those whose cultivation is sufficient to Ascend to the Divine Realm as soon as possible, understand?”

Looking at the respectfully bowing Li Big Saber, Jiang Chen gave his instructions calmly, then put the unused items from his System inventory into a Storage Ring and handed them all over to Li Big Saber.

“Yes, Sect Master. This Subordinate will definitely manage the Sect's affairs well and ensure Sect Master has no worries!” After hearing Jiang Chen's words, Li Big Saber took the Storage Ring and respectfully accepted the order.

“Mm, you may go!”

Jiang Chen waved his hand, signaling that Li Big Saber could leave. He didn't have much time to talk further with Li Big Saber.

“Yes, Sect Master!” Li Big Saber replied, bowed again, and quickly left the Main Hall.

“Sect Master, you are going to Ascend to the Divine Realm, but Xiao Shu's cultivation is not high enough, so I can't Ascend with you to serve you!”

Liu Shu, who was massaging Jiang Chen's shoulders, spoke with a wronged expression upon hearing that Jiang Chen was going to Ascend to the Divine Realm.

During the time since Ascending to the Immortal Realm, although she had Cultivated for a long time inside the Time Pagoda, her cultivation had only just managed to Break through to the first level of Immortal Emperor, which was still far from Ascending to the Divine Realm.

“Haha, after This Sect Master Ascends, you can go to the Sixth Floor of the Time Pagoda to Cultivate. Once your cultivation is sufficient, come to the Divine Realm to find This Sect Master.”

Sensing Liu Shu's low spirits, Jiang Chen chuckled and offered a word of comfort.

It wasn't that he didn't want to wait for Liu Shu to reach sufficient cultivation before Ascending, but the System's mission came too suddenly; he wasn't mentally prepared himself.

“Alright, Xiao Shu will definitely work hard to Cultivate and find Sect Master in the Divine Realm as soon as possible.” Liu Shu nodded sadly while continuing to massage his shoulders.

If Jiang Chen went to the Divine Realm and couldn't bear the loneliness, finding another maidservant, her position as his personal maidservant would likely be lost.

“Alright, stop massaging. This Sect Master needs to leave. Go to the Time Pagoda and Cultivate.”

After enjoying it for a few more minutes, Jiang Chen dismissed Liu Shu, stood up, tore open a spatial rift, and vanished from the Qingtian Immortal Sect's Main Hall.

“Sect Master, you absolutely cannot find another maidservant! Xiao Shu will definitely work hard to Cultivate and find you as soon as possible.”

Looking at the place where Jiang Chen disappeared, Liu Shu murmured reluctantly, then quickly left the Main Hall and headed to the Time Pagoda to Cultivate.

Not long after Jiang Chen disappeared from the Qingtian Immortal Sect's Main Hall.

In the center of the boundless Void Realm within the Immortal Universe.

Next to an incomparably massive, heaven-reaching purple-gold light gate, a spatial rift suddenly opened, and Jiang Chen's figure emerged.

“Is this the legendary gate of connecting to the gods that leads to the Divine Realm?”

Gazing at the purple-gold light gate before him, which radiated terrifying Divine Might and was immeasurably larger than himself, Jiang Chen murmured in shock.

Standing before the purple-gold light gate, he was as tiny as an ant, utterly insignificant.

“dog system, I'm about to Ascend to the Divine Realm. Can't you at least give me the ascension grand gift pack first, so I have some guarantee before I Ascend?”

Floating in front of the gate of connecting to the gods, Jiang Chen questioned the System.

This dog system suddenly issued a mission, making him Ascend to the Divine Realm within one day, yet it didn't mention the Ascension gift pack at all. It was truly rather 'doggy'.

[Ding, the Divine Realm is unique. The System needs the Host to Ascend to the Divine Realm and upgrade before the ascension grand gift pack can be issued to the Host.]

The System replied coldly.

“Damn it, what if I get killed right after I Ascend?” Jiang Chen roared at the System.

Without an Ascension gift pack like the one for the Immortal Realm, he really didn't want to Ascend.

After all, when he Ascended to the Immortal Realm, if he hadn't had the Cultivation Boost Card inside the Ascension gift pack, he might still be mining in some unknown mine right now.

[Ding, the Host does not need to worry. You will not be killed. Just Ascend with peace of mind.]

“How do you know I won't be killed?” Jiang Chen pressed, puzzled.

Since the System said so, it must know the situation in the Divine Realm, and he needed to understand it properly.

[Ding, the Host does not need to ask so many questions. Everything will naturally be known after Ascending to the Divine Realm.]

After the System finished its explanation, there was no further response. No matter how Jiang Chen called out, it remained silent.

“That damn dog system.”

Jiang Chen cursed the feigning System angrily, then stared at the gate of connecting to the gods for a moment, gritted his teeth, and rushed inside, appearing in a space filled with the aura of Divine Tribulation.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

Sensing Jiang Chen entering the space, thunder immediately roared above, and terrifying Divine Tribulation pressure instantly enveloped the entire area.

“Hurry up and come. This Sect Master is in a rush.”

Facing the still brewing Divine Tribulation, Jiang Chen spoke, feeling somewhat depressed.

He possessed the Indestructible Body and the Undying Divine Body, so he no longer paid any attention to things like Lightning Tribulation. He only hoped the Divine Tribulation would finish striking quickly so he could Ascend to the Divine Realm sooner.

Since the System refused to tell him about the situation in the Divine Realm, he had no choice but to Ascend first and complete the Ascension mission.

“Roar! Roar! Roar!”

As if sensing Jiang Chen's disdain, the Divine Tribulation brewing above the space let out an angry roar, and soon, a purple-gold Dragon-shaped Divine Tribulation rushed out, slamming violently toward Jiang Chen.

“Heh, that's it?”

Looking at the purple-gold Dragon-shaped Divine Tribulation rushing toward him, Jiang Chen sneered. He didn't even set up a defense, preparing to use his Physical Body to withstand the Divine Tribulation directly.

“Roar!”

Seeing that Jiang Chen had not set up any protection, the purple-gold Dragon-shaped Divine Tribulation let out an excited roar and slammed directly into Jiang Chen's body, intending to blast this careless fellow to death.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

The moment the purple-gold Divine Tribulation touched Jiang Chen's body, it immediately formed a terrifying explosion of power within the Divine Tribulation space.

However, no matter how it struck, Jiang Chen's body did not suffer any damage. In the end, it could only dissipate unwillingly after expending all its power.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

Following the blocking of the first purple-gold Dragon-shaped Divine Tribulation by Jiang Chen, the Divine Tribulation clouds brewed again, and soon two purple-gold Dragon-shaped Divine Tribulations rushed out, continuing to strike toward Jiang Chen.

Watching the purple-gold Dragon-shaped Divine Tribulations rush toward him again, Jiang Chen remained silent, simply standing still to undergo the Tribulation.

After all, the System had only given him one day. If he ran his mouth and caused the Divine Tribulation to expand, increasing the time needed for Undergoing Tribulation, he would be doomed.

“Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!”

As the purple-gold Dragon-shaped Divine Tribulations struck Jiang Chen's body one after another, his body began to show damage.

However, this damage seemed insignificant in the face of his Indestructible Body and Undying Divine Body, and it was repaired almost instantly. By the time the final ten Divine Tribulations dissipated, his body remained completely unharmed.

“Phew, it's finally over.”

Watching the tribulation clouds above the space gradually dissipate, Jiang Chen couldn't help but sigh in relief.

This Undergoing Tribulation took nearly half a day. Thankfully, he hadn't run his mouth to provoke the Heavenly Tribulation, or the time for Undergoing Tribulation might have exceeded one day.

“Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!”

The moment the Divine Tribulation clouds dissipated, a faint buzzing sound echoed above the Divine Tribulation space.

A purple-gold light ladder, shrouded in purple Qi, descended from above the Divine Tribulation space to Jiang Chen's feet, seemingly guiding Jiang Chen up to the Divine Realm.

“Is this the path leading out of the Divine Tribulation?”

After glancing at the purple-gold light ladder, Jiang Chen didn't hesitate at all and stepped onto the ladder.

He then walked along the steps all the way to the end, was sucked into a purple vortex, and after a burst of spatial changes, appeared on a purple disc covered in mysterious runes, surrounded by ruins and broken walls.

“Oh my goodness! No wonder the dog system said Ascension wasn't dangerous. It turns out there's absolutely nobody near this Divine Realm Ascension Platform.”

Jiang Chen stood on the purple disc, constantly scanning the surroundings with his Divine Sense.

Everything his Divine Sense could detect within a radius of tens of thousands of miles was utterly devoid of life, let alone humans; he didn't even see a single small animal. It was a place of complete dead silence, a world of difference compared to the prosperous Immortal Realm.

[Ding, detected Host Ascended to the Divine Realm, completed the Ascension to the Divine Realm mission, issuing ascension grand gift pack.]

As soon as Jiang Chen appeared on the purple disc, the System's reward notification sounded, and a purple gift pack appeared in his System inventory.

“dog system, why does the Divine Realm look like this?”

Looking at the Ascension gift pack in his inventory, Jiang Chen wasn't in a hurry to open it and instead questioned the System.

Currently, within tens of thousands of miles, there wasn't a single living creature or any danger, so he had plenty of time to ask questions.

[Ding, the System has not yet upgraded and lacks information about the Divine Realm. Please ask again after the upgrade.]

“Then upgrade already!” Jiang Chen roared helplessly.

[Ding, received Host's command. The Myriad Realms Invincible Sect System, Divine Realm Edition, is currently upgrading...]

[Upgrade progress: ten percent... fifty percent... ninety-nine percent...]

[Ding, upgrade successful. The Myriad Realms Invincible Sect System, Divine Realm Edition, is officially activated. Now issuing the ultimate mission: The Host must establish the Qingtian Divine Sect in the Divine Realm, welcome experts Ascending from the Immortal Realm, eliminate the Demon God extracting the Heavenly Dao Origin, and restore the Divine Realm to its former glory.]

[Note: This mission has no rewards. If the Host succeeds, they will eternally stand in the Divine Realm and become the Supreme God of the Divine Realm. If the mission fails, the Host will perish along with the Divine Realm and all the worlds below it.]

“Eliminate the Demon God extracting the Heavenly Dao Origin and restore the Divine Realm to its former glory?”

“System, what are you talking about? I don't understand.”

Hearing that the System immediately issued an ultimate mission after upgrading, Jiang Chen asked with a baffled look.

He currently knew nothing about the Divine Realm, and the System's mission completely mystified him.

[Ding, in the God Spirit Realm Epoch 82,003, the Heaven-Covering Demon God from the God Demon Realm attracted ten powerful Chaos creatures from the Chaos to attack the entire God Spirit Realm, causing most of its beings to perish.]

[It took advantage of the Divine Realm's severe loss of Origin Qi, led a large number of Demon Gods from the God Demon Realm to invade the God Spirit Realm, massacred all the beings in the entire God Spirit Realm, and sought to extract the God Spirit Realm's Heavenly Dao Origin to help it Break through to the elusive Creation God.]

[Currently, this demon is extracting the Heavenly Dao's Origin power at the Heavenly Dao Origin point in the God Spirit Realm. If the Heavenly Dao's Origin power is drained, the entire God Spirit Realm and the Immortal Realm and Mortal Realm below it will all collapse and be destroyed together.]

[This System operates based on the will of the heavenly dao, assisting the Host in establishing a Sect in the Lower Realm for the purpose of finding a powerful Divine Body, returning to the God Spirit Realm to eliminate the Demon God, and saving the entire God Spirit World.]

(God Spirit, True God, Heavenly God, God King, God Sovereign, Divine Venerable, God Emperor)

Seeing Jiang Chen's baffled expression, the System slowly began to explain.

“What! You attached yourself to me just so I would come to the Divine Realm and help you eliminate the Demon God?” Hearing the System's explanation, Jiang Chen couldn't help but exclaim.

He had thought the System attached itself to him so he could happily show off and fly around in another world. He never expected such a purpose.
