In this world, there is no eternity and immortality!
The words of the bearded man were like a bolt of lightning, striking into Chu Mo's heart. It was as if it gave him a great awakening. However, for Chu Mo, he could truly and more easily accept this viewpoint.
"The Divine Realm was once so powerful, so solid..." the bearded man said, "Even though there has always been a saying that the Divine Realm is unstable, and that it must extract life energy for support. But in reality, as long as there is life energy, the Divine Realm will not change. And this life energy, we simply do not need to worry about it, I can even guarantee that the vast majority of beings within the Divine Realm certainly do not know how it extracts life energy! Nor do they know what kind of harm this extraction causes to the world below. I didn't know back then."
Chu Mo nodded; in fact, to this day, even though he was quite certain about the Divine Realm's extraction of life energy from the world below, he wasn't too clear on the specific methods involved. All that could be said was that those who once established the Divine Realm were undoubtedly a group of the most extraordinarily talented and powerful individuals since ancient times.
The bearded man shrugged: "But the Divine Realm still collapsed. One doesn't need to look at the process; just seeing the result is enough."
Chu Mo nodded and said, "Yes, if just looking at the result, it's the collapse of the Divine Realm. Losing eternity and immortality."
The bearded man said, "Precisely, losing eternity and immortality. And what can a world be called if it lacks eternity and immortality? Even if another so-called perfect Divine Realm is constructed, can it really be perfect?"
Chu Mo raised his head, looking at the bearded man, and finally began to understand. This kind of pessimism was most likely the fundamental reason driving this Beast Clan to abandon the construction of a perfect Divine Realm?
The bearded man was indeed very candid and straightforward. He looked at Chu Mo: "We believe that even if another perfect Divine Realm is created, that perfection is still built on the basis of plunder. And as long as there is plunder, there is bound to be suppression. Where there is suppression, there will certainly be resistance. Then, one day, the so-called perfect Divine Realm will also become imperfect. Perhaps, like today's Divine Realm, it could collapse in an instant, causing countless deities to fall. At that time, everything would, like today, go through reincarnation once again. Then what? Create yet another, even more perfect Divine Realm? I feel that would just be self-deception."
Chu Mo nodded and said, "When time has lost its meaning, and when living is solely for the goal of eternity, losing eternity and immortality is just a matter of time."
The bearded man agreed with Chu Mo and said, "Our rulers have actually already realized this problem. Including us now, we have also realized this problem. So, we wonder, why not follow the Heavenly Dao and truly partake in reincarnation? This seems like leaving our fate to Heaven, being unable to control it ourselves, which is a very dismal thing. But in fact, even those countless deities in the Divine Realm, is their fate truly in their own hands? If so, why did the Divine Realm collapse? Why did so many deities turn to dust in an instant when it collapsed? Their obliteration, perhaps, wasn't even qualified for the Six Paths of Reincarnation!"
Chu Mo raised his head and looked at the bearded man: "Is that so?"
"The Divine Realm…is actually Beyond Heaven." The bearded man looked at Chu Mo with a bitter smile and said, "The Six Paths of Reincarnation is just in your boundless great world!"
Chu Mo nodded, he understood. Conversely, thinking back, weren't those rune life forms of the past large faction academy trying to open the Six Paths of Reincarnation, only to be "chased" back to the Divine Realm by the Six Paths of Reincarnation afterward? Because they didn't belong to this great world. Once the Six Paths of Reincarnation opened, and once they died, they would certainly be expelled.
Conversely, the deities of the Divine Realm, after they die… they might truly vanish completely from this world.
Compared to that, being able to enter the Six Paths of Reincarnation, even if forever losing past memories and everything, is still better than vanishing entirely from this world!
Chu Mo, by this point, already understood the intentions of this bearded man and the Beast Clan he represented. Actually, they were similarly fearful, and that fear led them to make such a choice.
To this, Chu Mo was willing to accept gladly. He looked at the bearded man, "I have one more question."
"Please ask, Heavenly Emperor Chu." The bearded man could also sense the goodwill emanating from Chu Mo, which made him feel very comfortable inside.
Chu Mo asked seriously, "If your Beast Clan truly integrates into our world, then you surely won't be unaware that the rest of those gods won't think like you do. So, when the time comes, war… is inevitable. They will definitely want to seize this world's life energy and construct a so-called perfect Divine Realm. This conflict is completely irreconcilable. So, when the time comes, where will the beings of your Beast Clan go?"
This was a very sharp but realistic question.
Having you come is no problem! But on the day the war begins, your once immensely powerful Beast Clan beings, will they choose to sit on the sidelines? Or will they choose to join with the beings of the Five Great Heavens world to resist those of your former kin—the Divine Clan?
The hidden implication behind Chu Mo's question was: How can I be sure you aren't spies sent by the Divine Clan?
Although the possibility is very slim at this point in theirdiscussion, the world is like a chess game; who can guarantee that they're not a pawn?
Since being a pawn, then one must have the awareness of being a pawn.
This awareness, Chu Mo possessed!
The world is like a crucible, and people like pawns.
He trusted the goodwill of the bearded man in front of him, but he didn't trust the world. No one said that gods couldn't scheme against others, especially a group of gods whose homeland had been destroyed, full of rage!
The bearded man understood Chu Mo's intentions naturally. Before coming here, they had actually thought of all the responses regarding this matter. This was actually also a concern for this Beast Clan itself.
"Heavenly Emperor Chu, regarding this matter, in fact, the moment we made our decision, there was only one result left." The bearded man looked at Chu Mo and said seriously, "When the world of the Five Great Heavens is not our home, we, at most, sympathize with the death of its beings; at the most, sigh over its collapse. But when the moment this world becomes our home, our fate is intimately connected with the world, so when war erupts, when those gods invade this world. We…will strike them hard too! After all, the concept of territory is stronger among the Beast Clan!"
Chu Mo nodded.
The bearded man continued, "Also, regarding our sincerity, first, we will bring forth a large number of resources to request a piece of land from the beings of this world as our living area. This is one aspect of our sincerity; second, if Heavenly Emperor Chu agrees, then soon, our ruler, one of the eight former rulers of the Divine Realm, will also descend here, and at that time, he will make an oath in the most primitive and sincere manner. To establish this covenant with Heavenly Emperor Chu."
With this, this branch of the Beast Clan has expressed their sincerity and intentions completely.
Chu Mo also thoroughly understood their intentions and knew the sincerity of this Beast Clan to complete this matter.
Then, Chu Mo nodded: "Alright, I agree to this matter in principle. I believe that the beings of this world will also certainly accept and welcome your arrival. Not only can it enhance the strength of this world significantly, but it will also make the vitality of this world become even more beautiful once again."
The bearded man looked at Chu Mo, his eyes showing happiness: "Heavenly Emperor Chu, you really surprised me a little; I, Nie Bao, wish to count you as a friend!"
Chu Mo nodded, his face showing a smile, and said, "I too wish to call you my friend, for friends, I also cherish greatly!"
Nie Bao nodded: "Before coming, we actually already gained some understanding of Heavenly Emperor Chu. We know Heavenly Emperor Chu's attitude toward the friends and family around him. However, Heavenly Emperor Chu might not be clear on the habits of the Beast Clan of the Divine Realm."
"Oh?" Chu Mo looked at Nie Bao.
Nie Bao said earnestly, "Any member of the Beast Clan of the Divine Realm, unless they truly recognize the other party, will not disclose their name to them. Revealing one's name is to truly accept and recognize someone from the heart. Once we recognize a friend, our friendship remains eternal! Even if faced with betrayal, we would not strike against the friends we've acknowledged."
Nie Bao spoke these words quite seriously, solemn as a vow.
Although Chu Mo didn't know of this rule of the Beast Clan of the Divine Realm, he chose to believe Nie Bao's words. Because when a person speaks, their aura is the most genuine.
With sincerity, Nie Bao said to Chu Mo: "Regardless of what happens, I, too, am already Heavenly Emperor Chu, your most loyal friend!"
"I will also cherish this friendship.!"
Nie Bao nodded: "Before coming, we had actually investigated Heavenly Emperor Chu to a certain extent. We knew that Heavenly Emperor Chu greatly values the friends around him. Another branch of the Beast Clan is also eager to build a perfect Divine Realm, but they won't think up as many schemes and plots to use against Heavenly Emperor Chu. But the Runes of Life, and those Three Great Human Clans, it's really hard to say."
Chu Mo nodded: "Thank you for the reminder, don't worry, I will be careful. I have been warned."
