Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 1151 - 1144: The Sixth Realm Lord Ding Huan

Upon hearing Shen Dai's words, everyone was shocked and looked at Bu Shi and Huo Shi.
Even Kui Feng and Shang, who had known, also put on a look of disbelief staring at Bu Shi.
Bu Shi's face was a bit unsightly; he knew he couldn't argue.
Though strong, he didn't have the power to fight several people at once.
If he had the capability to eliminate these Realm Lords, would Bu Shi really need to disguise himself like this?
Moreover, Mo Yuantian was also present here.
With just a move, people could discern truth from falsehood, so lying was meaningless.
Seeing numerous gazes upon him, Bu Shi quietly said, "When I stepped into the Ninth Step, I comprehended the ultimate Great Dao, and my power surged significantly.
But in my heart, Huo Shi has always been my lord. This has nothing to do with whether my power is stronger than Lord Huo."
Bu Shi's explanation was barely acceptable.
There is an enormous difference between the Taoist Saint's Eighth Step of the Great Dao and the Ninth Step.
For some, moving from the Eighth Step to the Ninth Step merely means a minor advancement in cultivation realm.
Whereas, for others, transitioning from the Eighth Step to the Ninth Step is a transcendence in the Great Dao, a vast difference.
Bu Shi said that when he reached the Ninth Step, his power surpassed Huo Shi's, which wasn't surprising.
The puzzling thing is that Huo Shi, as the Second Realm Master, lives up neither to his name nor his reputation.
Huo Shi couldn't even defeat Ding Huan; how did he manage to become the Second Realm Master?
The reasoning is crystal clear; it's because Bu Shi helped him from behind.
Shen Dai chuckled, "Bu Shi, you claim your power only surged after reaching the Ninth Step. Now, let me ask you, was the Tenth Realm Master Ji Yijian killed by you millions of years ago?
Don't tell me Huo Shi could kill Ji Yijian. Haha, even at my peak strength, I could easily defeat Huo Shi.
What makes Huo Shi, with his meager power, capable of taking down Ji Yijian on his own?"
Originally, the First Universe had Ten Directions Realm Lords, with Ji Yijian being the Tenth Realm Master.
Ji Yijian, as the Tenth Realm Master, was not like weaklings such as Shen Dai.
Back in the day, Ji Yijian was capable of disciplining Qu Ba.
Qu Ba, due to his indiscriminate killing, would obliterate a planet and massacre billions, and Ji Yijian repeatedly expressed his disdain for such actions in front of everyone.
No one cared whether Ji Yijian genuinely despised such actions or was merely putting on a show.
In the eyes of the myriad Realm Masters of the First Universe, all beings in the outer world might as well all be dead, it made no difference.
Qu Ba was arrogant and unruly; he wouldn't care about Ji Yijian's words and even wanted to discipline Ji Yijian.
Yet, Ji Yijian, though the Tenth Realm Master, possessed frightening power.
In the end, Qu Ba not only failed to discipline Ji Yijian but was himself disciplined by Ji Yijian.
Ji Yijian severely wounded Qu Ba, but he also sustained considerable injuries.
Since Ji Yijian didn't regard Mo Yuantian, the First Realm Master, Mo Yuantian equally detested Ji Yijian.
Mo Yuantian started showing favoritism, sending Huo Shi to hold Ji Yijian accountable.
Upon returning, Huo Shi said he accidentally killed Ji Yijian.
Ultimately, the matter was left unresolved.
To prevent people from reminiscing Ji Yijian, Mo Yuantian simply removed the position of Tenth Realm Master.
Now, mentioning the matter was equivalent to slapping Mo Yuantian in the face.
Bu Shi's face was quite unsightly; his original plan was to eliminate Mo Yuantian.
If Mo Yuantian was not killed, Bu Shi would never be able to take the Ninth Step of the Great Dao.
In his heart, not merely the First Universe, but even the Ten Directions Universe, only one could take this Ninth Step to control the multitude of universes beneath the vastness.
To take this Ninth Step, Mo Yuantian must be eliminated.
He clearly understood Mo Yuantian's true strength; in direct confrontation, he's likely not Mo Yuantian's match.
Bu Shi himself hadn't anticipated his plan would be exposed before being implemented.
Years of lurking were in vain.
At this moment, Bu Shi only hoped someone would suggest him for the Second Realm Master position. Since he couldn't launch a surprise attack, he mustn't lose the Second Realm Master title.
Only with the title of Second Realm Master can he acquire copious cultivation resources from the First Universe.
Though the First Universe has been tranquil all along.
But time and again, the First Universe would discover a heap of top-tier resources.
These resources are divided among a few Realm Lords.
Only when the Realm Lords were satisfied could the rest be distributed among others.
Previously, Huo Shi was the Second Realm Master, and everything Huo Shi obtained was sent to Bu Shi.
Bu Shi hoped someone would remind Mo Yuantian, so he could replace Huo Shi as Second Realm Master.
Clearly, his social connections were lacking, for no one stood out to propose Bu Shi as Second Realm Master.
Shen Dai completely ignored Bu Shi's icy gaze and continued backing Ding Huan, "Dear Realm Masters, we're currently facing a formidable enemy in the First Universe; the Second and Sixth Realm Masters are absent.
I still stick to my opinion, proposing Ding Huan as the Second Realm Master for the First Universe. Ding Huan's power undoubtedly qualifies him for the Second Realm Master position."
Even a fool would understand Shen Dai's intent here.
Shen Dai also knew getting Ding Huan accepted as the Second Realm Master was almost impossible; his aim was the Sixth Realm Master position.
Mo Yuantian's expression remained calm.
Compared to Bu Shi striving for the Second Realm Master with no one speaking up, at least there was a proposal for Ding Huan as Second Realm Master.
With a grin, Shang said, "Mo Realm Master, I think it's worth considering; after all, he can suppress Shen Jie Master, even defeating Lord Huo, becoming a Realm Lord of our First Universe seems reasonable."
Mo Yuantian saw that still no one opposed, so he said, "Our First Universe's Ten Directions Realm Lords ultimately fought their way up with their lives.
Although Realm Lord Shen believes Ding Huan is excellent, he has never done anything for the First Universe, and it's inappropriate to rashly place him in the position of Second Realm Lord.
Let's do this, make Ding Huan the Sixth Realm Lord, completing our First Universe's nine realm lords. Shen Dai, I entrust you with this task.
Remember, to become a realm lord of the First Universe, one must take the survival of the First Universe as their responsibility and never violate the First Universe Realm Lord agreement."
"Yes, Shen Dai will definitely accomplish this seamlessly." Almost immediately after Mo Yuantian finished speaking, Shen Dai assured him of completing the task.
Huo Shi only has his Primordial Spirit, and being a puppet, that's understandable.
Bu Shi's face, however, was livid.
Not only did Shen Dai disregard the Second Realm Lord, but even Mo Yuantian did not acknowledge Huo Shi.
Otherwise, Mo Yuantian wouldn't ignore the fact that Huo Shi, the actual Second Realm Lord, is still alive.
Mo Yuantian's implication was that this Second Realm Lord is virtually non-existent.
Bu Shi's gaze fell on Zuo Yang and Ku Bai Zhen; one was the Seventh Realm Lord, the other the Eighth Realm Lord.
Suddenly appointing Ding Huan to be the Sixth Realm Lord, surprisingly neither of them uttered a word.
Qu Ba and Kui Feng were completely indifferent, as long as Ding Huan wasn't above them, they didn't care at all.
Shang still had a smile on his face.
He alone understood why Mo Yuantian did not have Shen Dai assess Ding Huan first, back, and then decide if Ding Huan was qualified to be the Sixth Realm Lord.
Because Mo Yuantian did not want anyone to disturb him, nor did he have time to waste.
Mo Yuantian was preparing to step into the Ninth Step of the Great Dao, becoming the number one under the vastness.
During this period, Mo Yuantian absolutely would not allow anyone to disturb him.
As for which realm lord Ding Huan becomes, once he steps into the Ninth Step, everything in his eyes will be fleeting and inconsequential.
Judging by Shen Dai's performance, if sent to assess Ding Huan, Shen Dai would likely keep knocking at the Restriction of the cave mansion every now and then.
Mo Yuantian would absolutely not allow such a situation to occur.
If it weren't for Mo Yuantian worrying about Qu Ba and Kui Feng's chatter, he might have directly agreed for Ding Huan to become the Second Realm Lord.
As for Zuo Yang and Ku Bai Zhen, these two dare not misbehave in front of Mo Yuantian at all.
Once the realm lords came, they each scattered, while Shang proactively invited Shen Dai to his cave mansion.
"Thank you, Brother Shang; following your kind invitation is better than resisting." Shen Dai hurriedly expressed his gratitude.
He naturally knew that Shang intended to protect him, and if he didn't leave with Shang, he might've been hunted down by Bu Shi right after he left.
Seeing Shang's spaceship depart, Bu Shi's expression was unpredictable.
To him, Shang is the most mysterious figure among all the realm lords.
This guy's wealth likely doesn't fall short of Mo Yuantian's either.
Yet, his popularity has always been very good.
This time Shang suddenly offended him and even defied Mo Yuantian's authority to associate with Shen Dai, the ant, which he truly couldn't comprehend.
...
Ding Huan received a message from Shen Dai along the way.
Shen Dai informed him that the Fifth Realm Lord Shang wanted to meet him, and also told Ding Huan that Shang had helped him greatly.
Furthermore, with Shang's assistance, Ding Huan was now already the Sixth Realm Lord of the First Universe.
Upon seeing this message, Ding Huan was somewhat bewildered.
This seemed like a joke—how could Mo Yuantian allow someone from the Outer Universe like him to become a realm lord?
Ding Huan, after all, was not Shang, didn't understand what Mo Yuantian wanted, nor perceived Di Xin's threat to the First Universe.
He just felt something strange about it.
No matter what Shang intended, before he stepped into the Ninth Step of the Great Dao, he could not meet Shang.
Not even Shang; years ago, if he hadn't ambushed, the half-dead Dou Ling could've dealt with him.
How could he possibly meet Shang now?
Without replying to Shen Dai's message, Ding Huan accelerated the Cosmic Pot.
Ding Huan sped forward, simultaneously researching the position realm of the Source Principle.
As he increasingly engraved the Dao Pattern of Source Principle movement on the Cosmic Pot's exterior, its speed increased evermore.
The originally planned journey of over three hundred years took Ding Huan only ninety-six years to complete.
What appeared before Ding Huan was a sea of sand and layer upon layer of Void Algae.
The Sand Sea, from top to bottom and left to right, displayed the genuine three-dimensionality within the Void.
More like an endless sand mountain range.
And the Void Algae, piled together like dense water plants, filled the entire Void.
A glance at it makes one's scalp tingle.
Such boundless Void Algae, once entered, one would completely lose orientation.
Void Algae is no ordinary algae; once inside, even a Saint's Dao Thought can be isolated.
Moreover, this thing is exceedingly tough; even to sever it requires the Dao Yuan Divine Skills.
Even a Ninth Step Taoist Saint entering this vast Void Algae couldn't cut a path through it.
Crucially, this thing has virtually no value.
Ding Huan was somewhat daunted inwardly.
He didn't understand how Yang Mei found such a place.
Oddly enough, Yang Mei gave him coordinates to enter this endless Void Algae.
Once lost in direction, how could he find his way out?
(Good night, fellow Daoist!)
