A small city had tens of millions of living beings, a large city had hundreds of millions of people. How many living beings were there in a realm?
Even a small realm would have at least tens of billions.
With a single order from the Punishment Emperor, those living beings were all stripped of their right to live, turning into a mountain of human heads.
Ten realms meant that there were hundreds of billions of living beings. There were humans and other races. These races all had spiritual intelligence, and they were the same living beings as the entire great world.
They spoke the same language and cultivated similar cultivation methods, but now they were all turned into corpses, their heads piled up into a mountain.
Cruel, devoid of conscience, indignation that could not be expressed in words.
This was the first thought of all living beings in the eight major star regions when they received the news. A battle between experts could wipe out an enemy's entire clan, but what wrong did those innocent living beings do?
Although this world worshipped the strong, everyone had to abide by the bottom line. Otherwise, if you killed a group, I killed a group, and the living beings of this world would have died long ago.
The major races of the eight major star regions did not know that this order was given by the Punishment Emperor. They thought that it was an order from the middle region Realm King — the order did not mention the Punishment Emperor, so the blame naturally fell on the middle region Realm King.
Countless curses resounded throughout the eight major star regions. The ordinary Saint Emperors of the Immortal Region, and even some experts infinitely close to the Paragon level, were extremely dissatisfied.
But the Paragons were all silent. None of them dared to say anything. The Paragons even ordered that this matter was not to be discussed publicly, or they would be killed without mercy.
Those Paragons knew very well that the Punishment Emperor would not even bat an eyelid even if the Third Heaven collapsed and all the living beings of the Third Heaven died, let alone a few realms.
This was because the Punishment Emperor was the main culprit behind the collapse of the Fourth Heaven, Fifth Heaven, Sixth Heaven, and Seventh Heaven. The collapse of realms above the Fourth Heaven caused countless living beings to die. This was not the first time the Punishment Emperor had done such a thing. To him, the beings of the Third Heaven were no different from ants.
There was a saying in the past: all below the Paragon level were ants.
To a Lord God, even Paragons were ants.
For example, would a person care about stepping on a few ants when the ground beneath his feet was densely packed with ants?
If he was in a bad mood, he could set a fire and burn most of the ants to death. After a few years, the remaining ants would multiply again.
The entire Heavenly Chaotic Star Fields was in chaos. Countless creatures were scared to death. Many old demons wanted to escape, but they soon found that all the entrances and exits were sealed. No one could escape.
If he tried to force his way in, he would be killed immediately.
If he couldn't escape, what else could he do?
There was only one way out, and that was … to go to the Arcane Realm!
The Middle Territory Realm King had announced that he would slaughter ten realms in a month. However, he only mentioned slaughtering realms, not mystic realms.
There were so many mystic realms, and many of them were hidden. Who could find them?
Therefore, countless families and warriors in the entire Chaotic Starfield began to search for and enter the Secret Domain.
Doomsday had arrived!
For the warriors of the Chaotic Starfields, this was the end of the world. If the "Flame Empress" did not come out within a hundred years, the entire Chaotic Starfields would be wiped out.
The thousands of realms that were originally under the Chaotic Starfield's control, in particular, started to escape as soon as they heard the news.
The Middle Territory Realm King's order was quickly given. Troops of soldiers and countless battleships flew towards the realms controlled by the Death God. Anyone who dared to leave the realms would be killed on the spot!
There were some mystic realms in the realms, but the problem was … those mystic realms were not safe.
Most of the martial artists in the ten realms that had been slaughtered had been found. Only a few hidden mystic realms had not been found.
Once the army arrived, all the martial artists in the spatial zone were killed. The spatial zone outside the Death God's domain was soon dyed red with blood.
All the living beings in the thousands of realms were living in fear. Many of them were weak and did not know where to run. They could only pray to the Lord God for protection.
The Flame Empress' heart was in pain!
When she received the news that the ten realms had been slaughtered, she stood on the mountain peak for the whole night.
It was just as the Xing Thearch had said. The Flame Empress looked very domineering and cold on the surface, but she was actually very kind inside. She was a merciful Lord God.
She was born from heaven and earth. Towards all the living beings in this Great World, she treated them as equals. She would not look down on any living being with spiritual intelligence; neither would she attack them for no reason.
If others did not provoke her, she would not provoke any living being.
It was the same when she was at the Second Heaven. She almost never left Heaven Demon Island. As long as no one provoked her, she would not attack any martial artist.
Of course, there were blind martial artists who went to provoke her. The authority of a Lord God was not to be challenged.
Now, the living beings of ten realms had died because of her. She was implicated. Naturally, her heart was in pain.
The Xing Thearch had also said that if she did not go out for a month, he would kill the living beings of ten more realms.
She did not doubt the Xing Thearch's determination. How many realms had the Xing Thearch destroyed when he was at the Fourth Heaven?
How many living beings had he killed?
She believed that if she did not go out, the Xing Thearch would slaughter all the living beings of the Eight Major Stellar Regions. He might even destroy the realms one by one.
She was clear about the Xing Thearch's ideology. He believed that the entire world had a self-cycle and self-recovery law.
No matter how many living beings he killed, no matter how many realms he destroyed, it did not matter even if he killed all the living beings and destroyed all the realms.
This Great World would slowly give birth to new realms. The realms would evolve and give birth to living beings. After a few million years, the entire world would return to prosperity …
The Lord Gods had jumped out of the Five Elements. They had jumped out of the restraints of this world's laws. They could live forever.
So to the Lord Gods, all living beings were no different from ants. It was just like how to humans. Was there a big difference between ants, dragonflies, and frogs?
The ants were extinct. It wouldn't take long for a new ant species to be born …
There was still a long way to go before the one-month deadline. The Flame Empress did not give any response. After eight days, the Star Emperor flew over and reported, "My Lord, there is news from the Boundless Realm. That person wants to meet with you."
"Wu Yazi?"
The Flame Empress frowned and turned to the Star Emperor. "What does Wu Yazi want to do at this time?"
The Star Emperor reported, "According to Wu Yazi's disciple, Lord God Wu Yazi seems to want to … ally with you!"
"Oh?"
The Flame Empress was surprised. Wu Yazi was also a Lord God. He was the only remaining Lord of the Neutral Faction.
More than a hundred thousand years ago, she went to see Wu Yazi and asked him to help her deal with the Xing Thearch. However, Wu Yazi refused.
Wu Yazi said that he did not want to be involved in any disputes. He would not help the Xing Thearch or the Flame Empress. He just wanted to live a carefree life.
Who would have thought that Wu Yazi would take the initiative to look for her at this time?
He even wanted to ally with her?
The Flame Empress fell into deep thought. The Star Emperor thought for a moment and said, "My Lord, could it be a trap?"
"I don't think so!"
The Flame Empress waved her hand. "Wu Yazi's sworn brother died at the hands of the Xing Thearch. If Wu Yazi wanted to rely on the Xing Thearch, he would have done so long ago.
Ask Jia Luo to come over. I will go to the Boundless Realm with him and see what Wu Yazi is up to.
If he is really willing to ally with us, our chances of winning will be much higher. "
