Chapter 1038: Four Great King Realms

As a Realm King of a King Realm, for such a scandal to occur to him, ordinarily he wouldn't mention marriage again for at least several millennia, or even ten thousand years. Even if he did, he would never do it with such fanfare, as that would be tantamount to exposing his own wound and actively reminding people of his past disgrace.

However, only a little over thirty years have passed since his last 'grand wedding'. People have likely not forgotten even a shred of what happened back then, yet the Moon God Realm has suddenly sent out widespread wedding invitations.

Mu Xuanyin took the black jade from Yun Che's hand. "Che'er, why do you think this is?"

Yun Che replied without hesitation, "From a man's psychological perspective, the Moon God Realm King must be doing this because he has found another extraordinarily remarkable woman, one who can completely wash away his previous humiliation."

"Back then, the invitations sent by the Moon God Realm went only to King Realms and Upper Star Realms," Mu Xuanyin said indifferently. "This time, however, even our Middle Star Realm received an invitation."

Yun Che pondered for a moment, then his face registered surprise. "Could it be that the woman he is marrying this time is, in all aspects, far superior to Mu Wugou, who possessed the Immaculate Divine Body!?"

"That's why he's making it grander than last time. He wants everyone to know that not marrying Mu Wugou back then was actually a stroke of luck!"

"That's the only reason," Mu Xuanyin said, putting away the black jade. "I, your master, am very curious to see what kind of extraordinary woman this is, one who could make the Moon God Realm King, who just endured such a disgrace, suddenly put on such a display. It seems the Moon God Realm King has learned his lesson this time. Before we received this invitation, there wasn't a single whisper about this matter, and even on the invitation itself, the woman's name is not mentioned."

Yun Che thought to himself: *This is inevitable! Last time, his excessive arrogance and ostentation led to Mu Wugou being targeted. In the end, he not only failed to obtain the Immaculate Divine Body but was also thoroughly humiliated, becoming a disgrace for his entire life. This time, having suddenly found a woman who can completely restore his reputation, he certainly cannot repeat the mistakes of the past. Not only will he keep it private, but he'll hide it extremely well.*

*If the Moon God Realm King is cautious enough, he probably won't reveal the woman's identity until the wedding day.*

"The Immaculate Divine Body only appears once every 150,000 years in the entire God Realm, making even figures like the Moon God Realm King ecstatic," Yun Che exclaimed in surprise, looking at Mu Xuanyin with a questioning gaze. "I, your disciple, thought it was already the most supreme existence in the God Realm. Could there truly be a divine body with even more astonishing innate talent than the Immaculate Divine Body?"

However, Mu Xuanyin slowly shook her head, her brows furrowing slightly. "The Immaculate Divine Body is indeed the most supreme innate constitution in the God Realm. I, your master, have never heard of any innate constitution that can surpass it, and those that can even compare are almost non-existent. After all, the Immaculate Divine Body is a constitution bestowed by the highest level of chaotic energy—Primordial Qi."

"Then, is it in other aspects, such as strength, status—"

Before he finished speaking, Yun Che had already negated his own idea. In terms of strength and status, the Moon God Realm King already stands at the pinnacle of the God Realm. No woman in the world could be said to be "marrying down" to him.

Mu Xuanyin's expression was calm and serene as she pondered the matter. Suddenly, her icy eyes moved slightly.

*Ice Snow Glass Heart!?*

Immediately, this ripple of thought vanished without a trace. *Absolutely impossible! The Ice Snow Glass Heart was a rarity even in the ancient era of the gods, appearing perhaps once every million years. The one that appeared nine hundred thousand years ago—the founding ancestor of the Eternal Heaven God Realm—was likely the greatest divine miracle bestowed by heaven. Such a miracle simply cannot reappear. The name of the Ice Snow Glass Heart will only exist in records or ancient memories.*

"The truth will naturally be known in thirty months," Mu Xuanyin said coldly. "As for Mu Wugou, she is probably doomed. Even that man and their child might be exposed as a result, and the consequences will surely be extremely tragic."

Yun Che was startled, then realized, "Could it be forced soul-searching!?"

"After reaching the Divine Soul Realm, soul-searching becomes far more difficult than with a mortal body, and the consequences are equally cruel," Mu Xuanyin explained. "Even if the Moon God Realm King personally attempts forced soul-searching, the chance of success is less than thirty percent. Regardless of success or failure, Mu Wugou is doomed to die. Previously, he still had some lingering affection for her, but now that he is marrying a new wife, there's no reason to keep Mu Wugou alive. Hmph, if Mu Wugou receives news in advance, she might choose to end her own life, or perhaps she already has."

Yun Che sighed inwardly. With his understanding of women, he believed Mu Wugou was still alive. Even if she knew she would never see the light of day again, and could never see that man and their child again—and that staying alive only increased the risk of exposing them—the concern for that man and their child, stemming from the softest part of a woman's heart, would make her unwilling to die. It would make her instinctively, uncontrollably yearn for the miracle of reuniting with them.

*Even if it was just an eternal yearning.*

*After all, that was the man for whom she would rather die than speak when facing the Moon God Realm King, illustrating the depth of her affection.*

"However, these matters have nothing to do with us." Mu Xuanyin then said, "The reason I'm telling you this is to help you understand the current situation in the Eastern Divine Region. This scandal in the Moon God Realm isn't merely about the Moon God Realm King becoming a temporary laughingstock. Its greatest consequence is that the Moon God Realm and the Star God Realm, who already harbored ancient grudges, have become absolute mortal enemies. In just over thirty years, the Moon God Realm and the Star God Realm have openly clashed in fierce battles no fewer than ten times, and countless hidden conflicts. If the Eternal Heaven God Realm hadn't been constantly mediating and restraining them, it would likely have already led to an immense disaster in the Eastern Divine Region. However, if this situation continues, there will eventually be a day when it spirals completely out of control."

The Star God Realm and the Moon God Realm are not just ordinary star realms; they are the most powerful King Realms! If the fierce conflict between these two King Realms truly spirals out of control, it would be more than just a disaster for the Eastern Divine Region!

Yun Che frowned deeply. If it were other star realms, he wouldn't care; it would have nothing to do with him. But the Star God Realm—that's the Star Realm where Jasmine resides.

"Why do the Star God and Moon God Realms have ancient grudges?" Yun Che asked. "Is it like the Snow Song Realm and the Flame God Realm?"

"Of course not," Mu Xuanyin said. "The Snow Song Realm and the Flame God Realm have never truly harbored significant animosity. Their long-standing mutual antagonism is primarily due to the conflicting attributes of ice and fire, leading to a kind of instinctive repulsion. Furthermore, as neighboring realms, friction is inevitable, but there has never been fierce conflict. A thousand years ago, I accidentally injured Huo Rulie's son, and Huo Rulie retaliated by ambushing Bing Yun; that was considered the biggest conflict in recent years."

"However, the grievances between the Star God Realm and the Moon God Realm existed from the very beginning of their creation, starting with their founding ancestors. Subsequently, this ancient grudge has been 'inherited' throughout generations. Eventually, this mutual antagonism no longer required any so-called ancient grudges or even a reason, but became a habit passed down through generations."

Yun Che nodded; he fully understood this point.

Grudges can continue for generations, often not because of the grudge itself, but truly out of inertia. To put it plainly, both sides are proud and unwilling to break the status quo by proactively seeking reconciliation.

"Although the two realms harbor mutual animosity, as immensely powerful King Realms, neither side would completely abandon all civility, otherwise, it would only lead to a lose-lose outcome. However, the scandal over thirty years ago crossed the Moon God Realm King's bottom line and also shattered the centuries-long stability between the two realms. The ferocity of the battles between the two realms in recent years is unprecedented, and if not for the intervention of the Eternal Heaven God Realm, it would certainly be even more unimaginable."

"Speaking of which," Mu Xuanyin suddenly looked at Yun Che, "the Heavenly Slaughter Star God you are searching for—her birth mother died at the hands of the Moon God Realm!"

"What?" Yun Che was greatly startled.

Yun Che had long known that Jasmine's birth mother was dead. When Jasmine occasionally mentioned this, she showed immense hatred. At the same time, she also mentioned "that person."

*Could 'that person' refer to the Moon God Realm King?*

*It doesn't seem so. In all the years she was by his side, she seemed to have never mentioned the Moon God Realm.*

Yun Che's reaction was particularly strong whenever the Heavenly Slaughter Star God was mentioned. Mu Xuanyin's gaze shifted, and she said coldly, "The Heavenly Slaughter Star God's birth mother had two children. The other also inherited the power of a Star God, bearing the title 'Heavenly Wolf Star God'. Legend has it that when their mother fell into the hands of the Moon God Realm, the Moon God Realm had no intention of killing her; instead, they demanded that the Star God Realm exchange a treasure for her release. However, the Star God Realm King flatly refused."

Yun Che gasped.

"Afterward, the Heavenly Wolf Star God single-handedly forced his way into the Moon God Realm, intending to rescue their mother," Mu Xuanyin continued. "In that battle, the Heavenly Wolf Star God alone slaughtered three Moon God Realm Divine Masters, twenty Divine Sovereigns, and countless individuals below the Divine Sovereign rank. He also heavily wounded two Moon Gods and completely destroyed an entire star region within the Moon God Realm."

Yun Che's mouth fell open, his eyes wide in disbelief.

"Subsequently, to prevent him from dying in the Moon God Realm, their mother severed her own heart veins and died. The Heavenly Wolf Star God wept bitterly, but ultimately did not lose his mind and rush in recklessly; instead, he successfully escaped."

"In that battle, although the Heavenly Wolf Star God failed to rescue their mother, he became renowned throughout the God Realm. His prestige was so great that it even briefly surpassed that of the Star God Realm King. But unexpectedly, he was the first Star God to perish."

Yun Che stood there stunned, his mind in turmoil.

*His birth mother died in the Moon God Realm, his birth father refused to save her, and his older brother also perished later...*

*This is why she resented her father so much...*

*This is why she yearned for power so much, even going so far as to travel to the Southern Divine Region to seek the Heretic God's legacy, only to ultimately complete me.*

"Back then, the 'fall' of the Heavenly Slaughter Star God also caused quite a sensation," Mu Xuanyin continued. "And it is rumored that the Moon God Realm was secretly behind her ambush back then—only the Moon God Realm could have done it."

Some of Jasmine's sporadic words replayed in Yun Che's mind. Then, a doubt arose in his heart: *But why did she never mention the Moon God Realm?*

*Instead, the one time she showed her most terrifying hatred, she mentioned a woman.*

*It seems the grievances involved are far more complex than outsiders know. It's just that, as weak as I am, I can't lighten Jasmine's burden in the slightest.*

"This session of the Profound God Convention is jointly hosted by the Brahma Monarch God Realm, the Eternal Heaven God Realm, the Moon God Realm, and the Star God Realm," Mu Xuanyin explained. "Since the names of the Star God Realm and the Moon God Realm appear together, it indicates that in the face of this great event, the two realms will temporarily set aside their enmity. This situation must have been brought about by the Eternal Heaven God Realm."

"Among the four King Realms, while the Eternal Heaven God Realm's overall strength is not as great as the Brahma Monarch God Realm's, in terms of prestige, it is the foremost in the Eastern Divine Region. It is a King Realm renowned for its fairness and righteousness, revered by all realms."

Yun Che nodded slightly. One could see the Eternal Heaven God Realm's uprightness and selflessness from how, after the Profound God Convention, it did not hesitate to expend the power of the Eternal Heaven Pearl for talented profound practitioners from other realms.

Otherwise, how could it have been recognized as master by the Eternal Heaven Pearl? After all, the first master of the Eternal Heaven Pearl was the Creation God of Light, Xi Ke. As a Creation God, he was naturally a god of the righteous path.

*Unlike my own Sky Poison Pearl, which was an object of the Devil Realm in ancient times.*

"As for the Brahma Monarch God Realm—as the foremost King Realm in the Eastern Divine Region, it never interferes in the affairs of other realms. The profound practitioners of the Brahma Monarch God Realm, from the Realm King down to commoners, possess an innate and extremely strong obsession with the profound way. Their pursuit of the profound way verges on madness. And it has been this way for generations; there is not a single weakling in the entire realm. Any random individual from there, upon arriving in another star realm, would be a dominant figure. Their terrifying power is something you absolutely cannot imagine."

The information—no weaklings in Brahma Monarch, Eternal Heaven being the most righteous, Star God and Moon God being mortal enemies who have fully clashed in recent years—Yun Che firmly etched into his mind, although he wasn't sure why Mu Xuanyin was telling him all this. After all, given his current insignificance, the level of King Realms was simply too distant and ethereal.

"Regarding the history of the Eastern Divine Region, if you are interested, you can read the sacred texts in the temple yourself. However, you only have today."

To Yun Che's astonishment, the pale sky seemed to suddenly darken, and the air completely solidified. Mu Xuanyin's gaze fell upon him, so chilling it seemed to pierce his soul. "Because from tomorrow until the Profound God Convention, every single day, you will be living in hell!"
