Chapter 945: Pang Dashen Realm

Yun Che knew very little about the God Realm, only fragments of information he had occasionally gleaned from Jasmine. Since the Snow Song Realm was the first star realm he would visit in the God Realm, he should at least have some basic preparations.

Mu Bingyun had previously offered to tell Yun Che about the God Realm. When Yun Che brought it up now, Mu Bingyun nodded slightly and began to explain: "The God Realm was the dwelling place of gods and devils in ancient times. Although the era of gods and devils has ended and true gods no longer exist, the God Realm they once inhabited is still home to many divine treasures, as well as bloodlines, profound arts, or soul inheritances left behind by gods who were unwilling to simply vanish."

"More importantly," she continued, "because gods and devils resided there for billions of years, the elemental aura is exceptionally rich, and the laws of nature are far superior to those of other planes. The speed of profound cultivation growth there is incomparable to other worlds; breakthroughs in realms and comprehension of laws are also much simpler than elsewhere." Mu Bingyun cast a quiet glance at Yun Che. "You've made such astonishing progress on the Profound Sky Continent, where the aura is so thin and murky and the laws are so primitive. If you were in the God Realm, it's highly likely you would have entered the Divine Way before the age of twenty, just like Xiao Lan."

Yun Che listened intently, nodding slightly. Mu Xiaolan was only nineteen this year... and her terrifying power had indeed reached the Divine Way.

The Divine Way that Xuanyuan Wentian had frantically pursued his entire life was something a mere nineteen-year-old girl in the God Realm had already achieved. If Mu Bingyun and Mu Xiaolan had arrived half a year earlier and Mu Xiaolan had simply stood before Xuanyuan Wentian, he probably wouldn't even need to be fought; he would have been angered to death on the spot.

"So, that little girl... *cough* *cough*, I mean Mu Xiaolan, must be a rare genius in the God Realm too, right?" Yun Che asked.

"Those who can enter the Ice Phoenix Palace naturally possess exceptional talent," Mu Bingyun said softly, a complex, ineffable glint flashing deep within her eyes. She continued, "Xiao Lan might have some misunderstandings about you, which is why her words might seem a bit hostile. But she's a very good child; she's suffered a lot these past few years."

Yun Che's mouth slightly agape, his heart was suddenly struck with shock... because Mu Bingyun's evaluation of Mu Xiaolan was clearly just "exceptional."

A terrifying existence who entered the Divine Way at only nineteen, unprecedented and unparalleled on the Profound Sky Continent, was merely "exceptional" in the God Realm... no, in their Snow Song Realm?

Just how terrifying was the Snow Song Realm?

In the Profound Sky Continent and the Demon Imperial Realm, he was called the "Number One in History." With his power as the "Number One in History" in this world, what level would he be at if he went to the Snow Song Realm?

And what level would he be at in the entire God Realm?

"Perhaps... this question is a bit presumptuous," Yun Che finally asked after some internal struggle, "but I'd like to know, what is the approximate standing of the Snow Song Realm within the entire God Realm?"

Mu Bingyun did not frown at his obviously impolite question. Instead, she calmly replied, "The God Realm is not as vast as you might imagine. There are only forty thousand star realms in total. Based on their power levels, they are divided into Lower Star Realms, Middle Star Realms, and Upper Star Realms."

"Among them, there are thirty thousand Lower Star Realms, eight thousand Middle Star Realms... and the remaining two thousand are the extremely powerful Upper Star Realms."

Yun Che's mouth hung slightly open, unable to close for a long time.

A full for... forty thousand star realms?

And that's *not* big?!

What a joke!

Although Yun Che had lived two lives, he had never left the Azure Cloud Continent. Jasmine had told him that the Azure Cloud Continent wasn't even considered a star realm; at best, it was just a planet... and a small one at that.

The concept of a vast world with forty thousand star realms was simply beyond his comprehension, despite his knowledge from two lifetimes.

And each one of these was an existence far transcending the Azure Cloud Continent.

On the Azure Cloud Continent, whether it was the Profound Sky Continent, the Demon Imperial Realm, or the Cloud's End Continent, there were very few people in history who had traveled all three continents... perhaps even none.

Yet, in the chaotic space, the Azure Cloud Continent was merely a drop in the ocean... no, perhaps not even that.

"The Snow Song Realm, in terms of overall power, is a Middle Star Realm," Mu Bingyun continued. "However, our Snow Song Realm's Great Realm King is a Divine Way expert who ranks among the highest echelons in the entire God Realm. Therefore, among the eight thousand Middle Star Realms, the Snow Song Realm is an extremely high-ranking one. Even the Upper Star Realms would not dare to offend us easily."

In other words, while the Snow Song Realm's overall power categorized it as a Middle Star Realm, the power of their Great Realm King was no weaker than that of a Great Realm King from an Upper Star Realm.

"Great Realm King?" Yun Che asked, a look of confusion on his face.

"A Great Realm King means the King of a Star Realm, the supreme ruler of a star realm. They are either the strongest profound practitioner in a star realm or the most powerful and influential person," Mu Bingyun paused slightly, then after a moment of hesitation, continued, "Our Snow Song Realm's Great Realm King is my elder sister."

"...I see," Yun Che nodded slowly, his heart still trembling long after.

It was unimaginable; the incomparably terrifying and vast God Realm, and to be among the highest-ranked individuals in such a divine world... what kind of person must that be?

No wonder Mu Bingyun had endured the poison for over a thousand years. Her sister was the Great Realm King of the Snow Song Realm, naturally able to command any resources in the Snow Song Realm with a single word. It seemed that once he reached the Snow Song Realm, if he had the chance, he should try to get acquainted with that Great Realm King through Mu Bingyun. If he could align himself with such a powerful figure, his actions in the God Realm would surely be a hundred times easier.

Although... the probability was likely extremely small.

"Then, the Star God Realm... which level of star realm does it belong to?" Yun Che asked, seemingly casually, though his mind subtly tightened.

"Star God Realm?" Mu Bingyun's gaze shifted slightly. "Why do you know about the Star God Realm?"

Yun Che didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Seeing his difficulty in speaking, Mu Bingyun didn't press further. Instead, she replied, "The Star God Realm is not among those three tiers of star realms."

"Huh?" Yun Che looked surprised.

"Because the Star God Realm is a King Realm, transcending even the Upper Star Realms!"

"King... Realm?" Yun Che's heart skipped a beat... transcending Upper Star Realms?!

"The forty thousand star realms of the God Realm are divided into four Divine Regions: the Eastern Divine Region, Southern Divine Region, Western Divine Region, and Northern Divine Region. The Western Divine Region is the largest, followed by the Eastern Divine Region. Within these four Divine Regions, besides the forty thousand Lower, Middle, and Upper Star Realms, there are also seventeen King Realms that stand at the pinnacle of the entire God Realm, effectively dominating it! Of these seventeen King Realms, six are in the Western Divine Region, four in the Eastern Divine Region, three in the Northern Divine Region, and four in the Southern Divine Region."

"Our Snow Song Realm is located in the northern part of the Eastern Divine Region. The Star God Realm you asked about is also in the Eastern Divine Region, and it is one of the four great King Realms of the Eastern Divine Region! It is a transcendent existence that even our Snow Song Realm can only look up to." Mu Bingyun gazed at Yun Che. "You know very little about the God Realm, yet you suddenly inquired about the Star God Realm. Could it be that your insistence on going to the God Realm is related to the Star God Realm?"

Yun Che remained silent for a long time, his body becoming somewhat stiff and exuding an increasingly heavy chill.

At that moment, he suddenly felt his own insignificance... and naiveté.

He knew that finding Jasmine would be incredibly difficult. The higher the plane of the "Star God Realm" where Jasmine resided, the harder it would be to see her. Although he knew the name "Star God Realm," it was only now, from Mu Bingyun's words, that he understood just how terrifyingly high its level was.

Even within the God Realm, which he couldn't even reach on his own, the Star God Realm was an existence at the dominating level.

Before such a colossal entity, he was perhaps less than a grain of sand on the shore of a vast ocean... What could he possibly rely on to see Jasmine?

Only the yearning in his heart?

Seeing him suddenly fall silent, his expression growing increasingly grim with changing emotions, Mu Bingyun slightly furrowed her moon-like brows and said, "It seems your insistence on going to the God Realm is indeed related to the Star God Realm."

"Can I... trust you?" Yun Che bit his lip slightly. He was beginning to realize how incredibly difficult it would be to find Jasmine. Moreover, in the vast, unknown world of the gods, the only one he could currently rely on was Mu Bingyun.

Mu Bingyun turned to face him, her pure, icy eyes calmly meeting his gaze. "You saved my life and also the Ice Cloud Immortal Palace. I cannot promise the extent to which I can repay you, but at the very least, I will never do anything to harm you."

Yun Che's chest rose and fell heavily, and he exhaled with immense difficulty, then softly said, "I'm going to the God Realm to find someone... the Heavenly Slaughter Star God... from the Star God Realm."

"...What!?"

Mu Bingyun, who had remained as calm as water even upon her rebirth, suddenly had her expression drastically change. Her eyes contracted sharply, and deep astonishment appeared on her snow-white cheeks.

After a moment, she suddenly thought of something, and the shock on her snow-white face slowly receded. However, a strange glint filled her icy eyes. "So that's it. The Heavenly Slaughter Star God, missing for all these years, actually ended up in this world."

This time, it was Yun Che's turn to be greatly surprised. "What did you say? You..."

"No need to be surprised," Mu Bingyun gently shook her head. "You don't understand what kind of existence a Star God is in the God Realm. The 'demise' of a Star God is a major event capable of shaking the entire God Realm."

"The Star God Realm is a King Realm standing at the apex of the God Realm, and the Twelve Star Gods are second only to the Great Realm King within the Star God Realm. Their power is so immense that it would make all Divine Way profound practitioners tremble upon hearing of it, truly beyond your imagination. Roughly a year ago, there were occasional rumors in the Snow Song Realm that the Heavenly Slaughter Star God of the Star God Realm had been ambushed, poisoned, and had perished. This incident caused a huge stir in the God Realm back then. Years later, rumors began to circulate that she was still alive. Recently, these rumors were confirmed, and many star realms have received news that the Heavenly Slaughter Star God has safely returned to the Star God Realm, though no one ever knew where she had been all those years."

Yun Che: "..."

Mu Bingyun gave Yun Che a deep look. "Your words easily led me to these conclusions, and your reaction confirmed my suspicions. Rest assured, I will not tell anyone else about this. You also must not mention it to anyone else."

"...Can you tell me what I should do if I want to see her? Or what method I should use?" Yun Che's gaze was filled with his resolve and longing. So, his Jasmine was actually such an incredibly powerful figure. No wonder she had been so dismissive of everyone and everything; it wasn't just her personality but rather that, from her elevated perspective, everything in this world truly seemed as insignificant as the lowliest ants to her.

Except for him...

Mu Bingyun shook her head slightly. "I would advise you to give up. The existence of the Star God Realm is simply beyond your comprehension. Let alone seeing her, even entering the Star God Realm is almost impossible... even if you strive for thousands or tens of thousands of years."

Mu Bingyun's words did not discourage Yun Che. His hands slowly clenched, and he bit down, then suddenly spoke, word by word, "I've always firmly believed in one saying... and my life... has always proven it... In this world... nothing is impossible!"

Yun Che's eyes at that moment revealed a terrifying depth. These eyes inexplicably stirred Mu Bingyun's pure, icy heart and soul; in her memory, she had never felt anything similar, not even during her thousands of years in the God Realm.

"Since you are so determined," Mu Bingyun said quietly, "perhaps there is a method you could try."

"What method?" Yun Che looked up sharply.

"Join my Ice Phoenix Divine Sect and become a disciple of the Ice Phoenix Divine Sect!" Mu Bingyun said with extreme calm.

Yun Che paused slightly, then listened as she continued.

"In recent years, the movements within the God Realm have been vastly different from before. Especially among the great King Realms, various unusual disturbances have occurred. Eight years ago, the Eternal Heaven Realm, one of the four great King Realms, even announced an earth-shattering event..."

The Eternal Heaven Realm? That name instantly stirred something in Yun Che's heart... Among the Seven Profound Sky Divine Treasures, the fourth-ranked treasure was called the "Eternal Heaven Pearl," and this star realm was named the Eternal Heaven Realm... Could there be a connection between the two?

"A new session of the Eastern Divine Region Profound God Convention is about to be held in the Eternal Heaven Realm!"

"Divine Region... Profound God Convention? What is that?" Yun Che asked.

"It's the grandest event in the history of the God Realm. The Eastern Divine Region has nine thousand star realms. For the Profound God Convention, all profound practitioners from any star realm—excluding the four great King Realms—whose profound strength reaches the specified standard and who are under sixty years old can register to participate. The scale of the Profound God Convention is immense, requiring extensive preparation and massive resources for each session. Previously, the convention was held on average once every three thousand years, but this current session is being held a mere seven hundred years after the last one, and its preparation time is also several times shorter than usual."

Mu Bingyun explained in great detail, but Yun Che was still confused. He asked doubtfully, "Are you suggesting... that after I join your Ice Phoenix Divine Sect, I represent it to participate in the Profound God Convention?"

"Of course not," Mu Bingyun shook her head. "The preparation time for this Profound God Convention is extremely short, only ten years. By calculation, the convention will commence in less than three years. With your current profound strength... you won't even qualify to participate then. Furthermore, participants in the Profound God Convention don't need a sect or star realm background; anyone who meets the conditions can join."

"I want you to become an Ice Phoenix Divine Sect disciple so that it will be convenient for my elder sister to take you to the Eternal Heaven Realm," Mu Bingyun's voice softened. In her mind, she was already contemplating how to persuade her sister.

"I... still don't quite understand," Yun Che shook his head again.

Mu Bingyun explained, "Although the four great King Realms never participate in the Profound God Convention, all previous conventions have been jointly prepared, hosted, and witnessed by them, with the venue chosen in the Eternal Heaven Realm. Many powerful experts from the four great King Realms will be present to observe the matches... including the Twelve Star Gods of the Star God Realm. The Snow Song Realm has always had a viewing seat among the observers. I will persuade my elder sister to take you to the Eternal Heaven Realm venue at that time. My sister is a person who clearly distinguishes between favors and grievances; since you saved my life, she should not refuse this small repayment. Whether you can meet the person you wish to see then... will depend on your own fortune and destiny."
