Yan Tiangang's statue was destroyed, and then the altar was also smashed by the immortal's body. He lost the connection with this place, and his avatar could not exist anymore.
Yan Tiangang's avatar dissipated, and the battle came to an end.
Of course, Lu Li could not afford to be careless. He used psychic power to check the Divine Imperial City again and again. Making sure that everything was fine, he let Lu Renhuang and the others in.
"Father, this should be the core to control the Divine Imperial City. Take it!"
Lu Li took out Yan Hu's Interspatial Ring, took out a jade talisman with beautiful patterns and handed it to Lu Renhuang.
Blazing Huo and the Deaf Taoist glanced at each other. Their eyes were filled with excitement, especially Blazing Huo.
The Yan Family had been able to stand proudly in the Nine Realms for hundreds of thousands of years because of this divine city.
If the Huo Clan could obtain this divine city, the Huo Clan would be able to rise rapidly and stand proudly at the top of the Nine Realms.
Of course, Blazing Huo only dared to think about it. The excitement in his eyes soon vanished. He looked at Lu Li with awe and mixed feelings.
The Yan Family that had stood proudly at the top of the Nine Realms for hundreds of thousands of years, and even had a God Realm Almighty in their family, would cease to exist after today.
Even if there were some disciples of the Yan Family in the ancestral land, Lu Li would not let them go. He would send someone to find them, break the spatial barrier, enter the ancestral land, and wipe out the Yan Family.
The structure of the Nine Realms had officially changed from this day onwards. The sky of the Nine Realms had changed. The rise of the Lu Clan was only a matter of time. In the future, the Lu Clan would replace the Yan Clan and become the overlord of the Nine Realms.
Lu Renhuang did not take over the jade talisman. He said with a frown, "Lu Li, you should take control of the Divine Imperial City. It can make you stronger. You will be more secure in the Divinity."
Lu Renhuang heard Yan Tiangang's roar at the end. He was worried about it.
Anyhow, Yan Tiangang was a prominent figure in the southern Divinity. Lu Li had just ascended to the Divinity, and he might be killed right away. One more Relic would give Lu Li more means to protect himself.
"I have the Wicked Bead!"
Lu Li handed the jade talisman to Lu Renhuang with determination and said, "The Wicked Bead is as strong as the Divine Imperial City. This city is for the Lu Family to protect."
The Divine Imperial City was indestructible. If it were not for the Bloodvine, Lu Li would not have been able to break into the Divine Imperial City even if he had reached the immortal realm.
With the Divine Imperial City, the Lu Family would have absolute protection.
"Alright!"
Lu Renhuang took over the jade talisman. He sat on the ground and began to consume it. The earlier he could have the Divine Imperial City, the more he could focus on other matters.
Lu Li did not leave the Divine Imperial City at once. Instead, he stood in the city for a long time. For one thing, he was trying to calm down and for another, he was trying to figure out what to do next.
The destruction of the Yan Clan was only a matter of time, and the structure of the Nine Realms had changed.
This time, more than ninety Semi-God Realm warriors came and sixty or seventy of them died in battle. The major families suffered a great loss.
With the Divine Imperial City, the Lu Family had a foothold in the nine universes. It was time for the Lu Family to relocate to the nine universes.
After all, the Heaven Reverse Universe was too small. Xuan Qi and resources were scarce. For the Lu Family to develop into a super family, they must occupy a universe of the nine universes.
Lu Li never thought about unifying the nine universes. The Lu Family had too few powerful warriors. It was fine when Lu Li was still alive. But as soon as he ascended to the Divinity, the Lu Family would be attacked by other families. By then, the Lu Family might be wiped out.
Two hours later, Lu Li had an idea. Turning to Blazing Huo, he asked, "Blazing Huo, do you want the Huo Family to take control of the four universes?"
"Plop!"
Blazing Huo dropped to one knee and said gratefully, "Lord, thank you for your kindness. The Huo Family will never forget this."
Lu Li was the most powerful warrior in the nine universes. All the families had suffered a great loss. None of the families dared to disobey Lu Li. Otherwise, what awaited them would be destruction.
Based on Lu Li's words, it was a foregone conclusion that the Huo Family would take control of one of the four universes. How could Blazing Huo not be overjoyed?
Of the four universes and the five minor ones, the four were the most fertile, the most suitable for warriors to cultivate and the most likely to produce powerful warriors.
If the Huo Family could take control of any of the universes, in a few hundred years, the Huo Family would become a force that could dominate the nine universes.
"If … I give the Divine Imperial Universe to the Huo Family, do you have the guts to take it?"
Lu Li asked again after a pause. Blazing Huo trembled. He stared at Lu Li in disbelief, thinking that he had heard it wrong.
Of the four universes, the Divine Imperial Universe was universally acknowledged to be the largest with the most blessed lands and resources. Otherwise, the Yan Family would not have been able to occupy this universe.
However …
Shouldn't the Lu Family be the one to occupy this universe?
How could Lu Li give it to the Huo Family?
Who would complain about a family territory that was too large?
Too many resources?
"Do not doubt my determination!"
Before Blazing Huo could say anything, Lu Li said with a smile, "As long as you promise me one thing, I will give the Divine Imperial Universe to the Huo Family. The Huo Family will enjoy glory for generations to come."
Blazing Huo tried to suppress his joy since Lu Li did not seem to be joking. "Lord, please tell me. If I can do it, I will not say no."
"It is simple!"
Pointing to Lu Renhuang, Lu Li said, "Later on, you will become my father's soul slave. When my father ascends to the Divinity, you will become the soul slave of someone my father chooses.
In other words — you will be a slave of the Lu Family for the rest of your life.
Of course, I will give you a title. You will be a God of Worship for the Lu Family. Others will not know the truth, and the Lu Family will treat you with respect! "
"What?"
Blazing Huo was taken aback. The light in his eyes dimmed down.
He understood what Lu Li meant. Blazing Huo could forget about being a slave for the rest of his life. He could not regain his freedom until he died of old age.
Lu Li had promised him that he would set Blazing Huo free before he left the Divinity.
But now, Lu Li had changed his mind. Blazing Huo would be deprived of his freedom until the day he died. He would be someone else's slave!
"Brilliant!"
The Deaf Taoist had an idea. He understood Lu Li's plan at once.
Lu Li was planning for a way out. He found a super bodyguard for the Lu Family to protect the Lu Family after he ascended to the Divinity.
The Deaf Taoist admired Lu Li's means. He gave up the vast Divine Imperial Universe just like that and gave Blazing Huo and the Huo Family some benefits.
That being said, no matter how powerful the Huo Family was, in the end, they would be the watchdogs of the Lu Family. At the end of the day, the Divine Imperial Universe would belong to the Lu Family …
The Lu Family's foundation was weak and the number of warriors was small. It would take hundreds of years for the Lu Family to develop.
When Lu Li went to the Divinity, he would not be able to look after the Lu Family. With Blazing Huo and the Huo Family protecting the Lu Family, the Relic city and the Relic, Lu Li could rest easy.
The Divine Imperial Universe was too tempting!
For decades, nobody would dare to do anything. However, in a hundred years, when many families grew stronger or a powerful warrior emerged, they would have their eyes on the Divine Imperial Universe.
Lu Li left the Divine Imperial Universe to the Huo Family to deal with challenges from other universes. As long as the Huo Family was not destroyed, the Lu Family would be safe.
Blazing Huo soon understood all the twists and turns.
That being said, he could not help but be tempted. This was the Divine Imperial Universe. If the Huo Family could develop well, in a few decades, the Huo Family could grow into a towering tree and become a super family.
Blazing Huo had hundreds of years left in his life. If nothing major happened in the next few centuries, with his careful management, the Huo Family could have a firm foothold in the Divine Imperial Universe and rise above the nine universes.
If the Huo Family could have one or two immortals, the future of the Huo Family would be immeasurable.
"Okay!"
Blazing Huo made up his mind. He bowed and said with respect, "Lord, you can make the decision!"
Lu Li nodded and grinned. With Blazing Huo's words, Lu Li would have nothing to worry about.
He could focus on becoming an immortal and then explore the vast Divinity to … look for Lu Ling.
…
