Stellar Transformation-Chapter 672: Episode 18 - 37 A New Pattern

After bidding farewell to the Asura God King, Qin Yu returned to Zixuan Mansion in a contemplative mood. By now, Qin Yu had guessed that there must be some connection between Xiao Yao Heavenly Venerable and Hou Fei.

"Regardless of the exact nature of the connection between Xiao Yao Heavenly Venerable and Hou Fei, it’s useless for me to speculate here. Only by arranging a meeting between the two of them can I figure it out," Qin Yu thought as his brows furrowed slightly.

"Xiao Yao Heavenly Venerable is no God King; finding him will be difficult if he’s hiding somewhere." With a single thought from Qin Yu, the Power of the New Universe Space swept over the entire Divine World like an ocean, bringing everything within it under his observation.

"None of the Three Great Venerable Sovereigns can be found," Qin Yu felt somewhat helpless.

Suddenly, Qin Yu smiled.

Although he hadn’t found the Three Great Venerable Sovereigns, Qin Yu noticed that a group of God King Servants in the Zixuan Mansion had spread out their Divine Sense and were contacting their own experts.

"Among the Divine World’s Eight Great Saint Emperors, only my father-in-law, who aspires to be a Heavenly Venerable, and Huangfu Yu have returned. Among the rest, Zhou Xian died, and five Saint Emperors are to stay for a full hundred million years, while Shen Tuyan and Duanmu Rufen must remain for a billion years. As for the other three, they are obliged to stay for sixty trillion years." Qin Yu couldn’t help but laugh when he thought of this.

Originally, when he lured a group of God Kings into the New Universe, Qin Yu was at his wits’ end trying to decide how to deal with them.

But then he thought...

Killing the God Kings would provide only momentary satisfaction. It was far more agreeable to have these God Kings serve as his own servants. Now that five out of the eight most esteemed Saint Emperors in the Divine World were his servants, who else had ever enjoyed such glory?

"Zhou Xian is dead, and now Thunder Punishment City has lost all its God Kings, while the Zhou Family’s Upper Heavenly Gods are still several in number. To whom shall I give this Thunder Origin Spirit Pearl?" Qin Yu walked and pondered.

******

Mirror Light City.

Today, the only God King who regularly resided in Mirror Light City was Duanmu Yu. Compared to the other seven Holy Lands, Mirror Light City was in a relatively good state.

"Who could have imagined that of the Divine World’s Eight Great Holy Lands, only Snow City, Xuanjin Mountain, and my Mirror Light City would have just one God King left. The other five cities, even if their God Kings are alive, are serving as servants in the Zixuan Mansion. And as for Thunder Punishment City, its God Kings are all dead." Duanmu Yu sighed with a wry smile.

At this moment, Duanmu Rufen was communicating telepathically with Duanmu Yu.

Duanmu Rufen hadn’t concealed from Duanmu Yu what had happened in the New Universe. Of course, Duanmu Rufen didn’t know that the place they had been led to by Qin Yu was the New Universe. She simply told Duanmu Yu that it was Qin Yu’s world.

"Duanmu Yu, auntie is quite fortunate. Because you have some relationship with Qin Yu, he has only made me serve as a servant for a hundred million years. As for Shen Tuyan, Tang Lan, and Pu Tai Hong, the three Saint Emperors, they must stay for a staggering sixty trillion years," conveyed Duanmu Rufen telepathically.

Although these God Kings had no choice but to serve in the Zixuan Mansion, their Divine Sense covered the entire Divine World. Without leaving the Zixuan Mansion, they could still communicate telepathically with their own people.

"Duanmu Yu, I’m relying on you to handle affairs in Mirror Light City while I’m here," Duanmu Rufen continued, "You have a good relationship with Qin Yu, and that relationship should be maintained... Qin Yu’s strength is terrifying, and the speed at which it grows is astonishing. No one in the future Divine World will be able to oppose Qin Yu. As long as we maintain a good relationship with Qin Yu, the foundation of our Mirror Light City will be even more stable."

"I understand, auntie."

...

Not only Duanmu Rufen, but Shen Tuyan, Tang Lan, Mu Qin, and Pu Tai Hong, these four Saint Emperors also contacted their own forces through telepathic communication. However, their contacts were merely Hall Masters and some Upper Heavenly Gods from their respective Holy Lands.

After all, there were no longer any God Kings left in their Holy Lands.

"Fan’er, your father-king needs to seclude himself for cultivation for a hundred million years. During this hundred million years, the affairs of Flame Mountain will be left to you and your uncles. Fan’er... discuss matters, big or small, with your uncles," said one.

"Yes, father," Shen Tufan received his own father’s divine sense transmission while he was in Flame Mountain.

Shen Tufan didn’t know that at this moment, his father was actually somewhat grateful to him. Had it not been for Shen Tufan’s relationship with Qin Yu, how could Shen Tuyan have only needed to stay in Zixuan Mansion for a mere one hundred million years?

One hundred million years, compared to sixty trillion years. The difference was nearly sixty million fold!

******

The Divine World’s Eight Great Holy Lands began experiencing an unprecedented period of peace, and the three major forces of the ascenders—Asura Sea, Blood Demon Mountain, and Double Domain Island—were also very tranquil, stirring up no strife.

Because, whether it was the Eight Great Holy Lands or the three major ascender forces, they all understood one thing—

The core of the Divine World now was Mist City.

No one dared to infringe upon the majesty of Mist City.

...

In the Southeast Underground City.

"What are Father Emperor and Second Uncle doing? Why are they not managing affairs anymore, saying that from now on, for sixty trillion years, they will only appear occasionally? They have even handed over the affairs of the Underground City to us," said Pu Tai Fen Yan with a frown.

"Big Brother, what’s even stranger is, Father Emperor and Second Uncle are not even returning to the Underground City," said a burly man next to him, frowning.

"Who knows where Father Emperor and Second Uncle are right now."

...

The Divine World fell into an unprecedented situation of scarcity among Divine Kings. Within the Eight Great Holy Lands, there were only three Divine Kings, Asura Sea had only one, Blood Demon Mountain had only one, and only Double Domain Island had two. The vast majority of the Divine Kings in the entire Divine World, more than a dozen, were all in Zixuan Mansion.

Compared to before the arrival of Heavenly Venerable Mountain, when there were about forty Divine Kings in the Divine World, the gap was too great.

The scarcity of Divine Kings led the Upper Heavenly Gods to hold greater power. Gradually... in the Divine World, Heavenly Gods found it even harder to see Divine Kings, and the absence of Divine Kings made them appear even more mysterious in the eyes of ordinary Heavenly Gods.

******

Inside Zixuan Mansion.

More than a dozen Divine Kings were all very disciplined, often guiding the Qin’s Disciples in cultivation. In quiet times, they would either cultivate peacefully or chat idly in the Flowing Water Garden.

"Hehe, those Heavenly Gods from the Eight Great Holy Lands of the Divine World are all puzzled, wondering where all the Divine Kings have gone. Haha, all the Divine Kings are right here," Hou Fei stepped into the Flowing Water Garden, and upon seeing the Divine Kings in groups of two or three, couldn’t help but wear a smug smile on his face.

Where else in the Divine World could you find so many Divine Kings?

Qin Zheng was currently in the Flowing Water Garden as well, and was asking a Divine King, "Senior, the technique you transmitted to me the other day..."

"These are things you must comprehend on your own and cannot be conveyed through words. Just keep cultivating on your own and don’t bother me," said Pu Tai Hong, who was currently playing chess with Shen Tuyan. Without waiting for Qin Zheng to finish, he responded somewhat impatiently.

"Yes, senior," seeing Pu Tai Hong’s reaction, Qin Zheng stood to the side, ready to wait until Pu Tai Hong finished his chess game before continuing his inquiries.

At that moment, as Hou Fei entered the Flowing Water Garden and witnessed this scene, his eyes bulged in anger, and within a few strides, he walked directly to Pu Tai Hong’s side and fiercely slapped his palm onto the chessboard.

"Bang!" The chessboard shattered violently.

Pu Tai Hong and Shen Tuyan were both taken aback.

Pu Tai Hong couldn’t help but look up with a hint of anger at the newcomer, while Hou Fei pointed directly at Pu Tai Hong’s nose and scolded, "Well done, Pu Tai Hong! Do you really think you were invited by my big brother to be a Guest Elder? Damn it, give you some respect and you really start thinking too highly of yourself?"

With a stretch of his hand, Hou Fei summoned the Xuanqing One Qi Stick into his grasp.

Pu Tai Hong and Shen Tuyan immediately retreated.

"Hou Fei, what are you trying to do?" Pu Tai Hong snapped angrily.

"Hou Fei, you should still show some respect to your seniors," Qin Zheng said, trying to advise Hou Fei.

Upon hearing this, Hou Fei instantly became irate, glaring at Pu Tai Hong, "Listen up, Pu Tai Hong. By coming here, you are a servant of Zixuan Mansion. A servant should have the self-awareness of a servant! My big brother gives you face, so don’t you think for a moment that he is weak. Damn it, we should have killed you all from the start."

The Divine Kings in the entire Flowing Water Garden fell silent.

They all understood that they were servants of Zixuan Mansion. However, Qin Yu had told the people of Zixuan Mansion that these Divine Kings were guests he had invited. Therefore, Qin Zheng and the others were quite polite to them.

But always being so polite also led Pu Tai Hong to gradually assume the air of a Holy Emperor as he had been before.

"Servant?" Qin Zheng at this moment looked perplexedly at Hou Fei.

Hou Fei cast his gaze over the Divine Kings present, snorted coldly, and said, "My big brother praises you for being fat, and you really start puffing yourselves up. Make sure all of you remember! If big brother gives you a shred of respect, you also need to be self-aware in your hearts. Don’t think that any of you are still significant Holy Emperors!"

"Pu Tai Hong, come over and explain things properly to Second Brother Qin Zheng," Hou Fei commanded coldly, looking at Pu Tai Hong.

Pu Tai Hong furrowed his brows, but Mu Qin, standing nearby, cupped his fists towards Hou Fei and said, "Hou Fei, indeed, we have overstepped in these past days. From today onward, it absolutely won’t happen again—Pu Tai Hong—" Mu Qin turned his gaze towards Pu Tai Hong.

The Divine Kings present all knew very well that Qin Yu was much stronger than them.

"Hou Fei, my apologies, my attitude was indeed too much," said Pu Tai Hong, speaking more submissively this time.

"That’s more like it," Hou Fei snorted coldly. "Very few in Zixuan Mansion know ’you are servants,’ but if you don’t have self-awareness and continue to act presumptuously, not only will everyone in Zixuan Mansion come to know, but even the people in the Divine World will find out!"

The faces of the Divine Kings all changed.

If this matter was known by everyone in the Divine World, these Divine Kings would have a fate worse than death.

"Such an incident won’t happen again," Pu Tai Hong immediately said.

...

While Hou Fei was disciplining these Divine Kings, Qin Yu himself was in Thunder Punishment City. At this moment, Qin Yu was dressed in a blue robe, walking with a light smile along the streets of Thunder Punishment City.

"Qin Yu, thank you," said a voice.

"No need, actually, by killing the Zhou Family’s last Divine King, I should apologize to you, Second Brother, for causing you trouble," Qin Yu said while strolling and conversing with Lin Meng through Divine Sense transmission.

"If you killed, you killed, it’s not a big deal. Even if all eight Great Saint Emperors were eliminated, successors would emerge. Those eight Spiritual Pearls all contain the ’Space Law,’ and you merely need to give the Thunder Origin Spirit Pearl to any individual with the Zhou Family bloodline, and they would comprehend the Space Law extremely quickly, becoming the new Holy Emperor of Thunder Punishment City," said Lin Meng via Divine Sense transmission.

"Then, Second Brother, who do you think I should give the Thunder Origin Spirit Pearl to?" Qin Yu asked through Divine Sense transmission, as he had already approached the gates of the Imperial City of Thunder Punishment City. The Imperial City was off-limits to outsiders.

"Give it to whom? Now, within a hundred steps from you, there is a child. I think it would be quite suitable to give it to him," Lin Meng suggested through transmission.

"Oh?"

Qin Yu looked around in all directions and soon noticed a child curled up on the side of the street not far away. At a glance, Qin Yu recognized that the strength of this child was very low, merely a Middle Grade Divine Being.

"He must be a descendant of the Zhou Family; otherwise, a Divine Being wouldn’t be able to enter Thunder Punishment City," Qin Yu thought to himself.

Qin Yu then walked over to the child with a smile.

The child, who was curled up on the side of the street, looked up in confusion as someone approached.

"Why are you sitting by the street, aren’t you afraid of your parents’ punishment?" Qin Yu asked with a smile.

"Who are you?" The child was rather cautious.

"Don’t you know you should say your name first before asking someone else’s name?" Qin Yu said with interest.

After a moment of silence, the child said, "My name is Zhou Qing!"

"Oh, Zhou Qing, what are you doing here, and why are you curled up on the ground?" Qin Yu asked with a smile.

"Because I am leaving Thunder Punishment City, so before I go, I wanted to become familiar with the land of Thunder Punishment City," Zhou Qing replied, which somewhat surprised Qin Yu.

"Why are you leaving Thunder Punishment City?" Qin Yu continued to inquire with a smile.

"I am the slowest among my generation in the Zhou Family to cultivate, it is natural for me to be banished to the lower realms," Zhou Qing said quite matter-of-factly.

It dawned on Qin Yu that most of the Eight Divine Clans indeed had this rule, but it was designed to stimulate faster cultivation and increase competition among clan members.

"Zhou Qing, you and I are fated. I shall give you something," Qin Yu said with a smile.

"Give me something?" Zhou Qing looked at Qin Yu, puzzled.

Qin Yu flipped his hand over, and the Thunder Origin Spirit Pearl floated above his palm. With a thought, Zhou Qing’s finger broke, a drop of fresh blood flew out and directly integrated into the Thunder Origin Spirit Pearl. The Thunder Origin Spirit Pearl then merged into Zhou Qing’s body.

"Little Zhou Qing, I bid you farewell," Qin Yu patted Zhou Qing on the head and then turned to leave.

Zhou Qing was presently receiving the continuous stream of information from the Thunder Origin Spirit Pearl, struggling to open his eyes. He looked around in all directions, but by that time, Qin Yu had already disappeared. Zhou Qing shouted, "You haven’t told me your name yet?"

"My name is Qin Yu!"

Qin Yu’s voice resonated within Zhou Qing’s mind.
