Chapter 302: Chapter 302 The Rising and Falling Tide

In the Grand Priest’s Hall.

Jigge, a diviner, could see the convergence of destinies. Liu Jun and Ye An’s statements had further solidified the Human Realm’s destiny, which had quickly gathered momentum due to the previous miracles created by the Divine Statue. The Human Realm’s destiny was rapidly condensing.

One-seventh.

One-sixth… One-fifth…

The amount of destiny gathered in the Divine Statue grew increasingly vast.

In contrast, the Divine Realm’s destiny was diminishing. The enormous golden sphere had developed a clearly visible small hole, from which golden destiny leaked out.

Ye An’s words had indeed impacted the faith of the Divine Realm’s people. The Divine Realm was vast, and not everyone had the same character. Many beings in the Divine Realm were disciplined and worshiped the Divine Realm’s supreme authority. Such people were indifferent to the massacre; they were like crystallized powder that would adjust itself.

Even if the massacre were real, they would still consider it justified! After all, anything done by the Divine Realm was deemed reasonable!

However, a significant portion of people questioned why.

Why are we noble and powerful?

As cultivators, they were promising candidates. But as mere vegetables of destiny in the Divine Realm, their existence was disliked by the Divine Realm’s powerful beings. Yet, these people were like weeds that sprouted anew with each spring breeze.

These individuals possessed a genuine quality, believing in seeing is believing. When the true nature of the Ascension War appeared before their eyes, their faith in the Divine Realm wavered.

There were quite a few such people, and they influenced those around them.

Thus, the destiny began to leak out.

Jigge’s expression grew increasingly grim.

The Human Realm’s actions this time aimed at the very roots of the Divine Realm! F0lloww new 𝒄hapters at nov/(e)l/bin/(.)com

The worst part was that the other realms were now silent.

The Demon Realm and the Ancient Shura Realm had leaned towards the Human Realm and were merely spectators.

The Demon Realm and the Ghost Realm had already given a certain level of support and would not send suicide squads.

This meant that this battle was a one-on-one duel between the Human Realm and the Divine Realm!

What troubled Jigge the most was…

“Say whatever you want to say,”

On the throne, Mu Tianyi sat with his legs crossed, leisurely watching Jigge, who was kneeling before him with a face full of grief.

Jigge took a deep breath and said, “Your Majesty.”

“What I am about to say might be harsh but is intended as honest advice. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!”

Mu Tianyi smiled, “Don’t be afraid. Speak.”

Jigge said seriously, “The Divine Realm’s destiny has developed cracks.”

“Even if we kill Ye An, we won’t be able to mend this hole!”

“Moreover… no matter how many times I predict the outcome, it remains the same.”

“Regardless of what we do now, the Divine Realm’s destiny will continue to leak.”

“This downward trend is irretrievable!”

Mu Tianyi’s expression remained calm, “Why do you think this situation is unacceptable?”

“Huh?” Jigge looked up in disbelief.

Mu Tianyi rested his chin on his hand, calmly saying, “The current prosperity of the Divine Realm was built on falsehoods and deception.”

“So this prosperity is inherently illusory. Otherwise, why would we repeatedly lose to Ye An?”

“The battles of the Bright Sword Conference were not underhanded; they were simply a matter of skill.”

“The reality is that the Divine Realm’s current generation of prodigies is not strong enough because our destiny is deceitful.”

Looking at the calm expression of the monarch, Jigge felt a long-lost sense of security.

It seemed that the Divine King was in a good mood today.

He stood up and said quietly, “All things in the world follow the same rules.”

“The rise and fall of dynasties are no different from the tides.”

“When the Divine Realm’s prosperity reaches a critical point, what follows is a valley of decline and decay.”

Mu Tianyi gestured with his hand.

His hand moved slightly downward.

He smiled, “At this time, the only thing we can do is to try our best to prevent the decline from going too low.”

“Because once the decline reaches a critical point, we will begin to rise again.”

“Take the Human Realm as an example.”

“Three thousand years ago, the Human Realm achieved a great victory, and their destiny rose to a new height. But because the powerful ones were nearly wiped out, the decline began.”

“The strength of Zhuge Tianming was that he slowed down and moderated the Human Realm’s decline.”

“Their destiny once reached the heavens, but the eventual low point was not the depths but merely a little below the horizon.”

“The Human Realm’s endurance over the past three thousand years made the lowest point of their destiny finally stop at a position that wasn’t too low.”

“And during this process, they grew and transformed until the low point was completely surpassed.”

“Today, they are beginning to welcome a higher prosperity.”

“I call him Mr. Tianming because he managed everything so well.”

“The year the Human Realm started rising was precisely when the Divine Realm’s grand trend had waned.”

“You don’t need to think that it was a Bright Sword Conference that caused the Divine Realm’s destiny to leak. Even without this conference, the decline of the Divine Realm would have been unstoppable.”

“As I said before, the Divine Realm’s prosperity was inherently false.”

“Now, I am determined to make the Divine Clan seek authenticity amidst the falsehoods and follow the path that the Human Realm once took.”

Jigge looked up in disbelief, “Are you saying that we will imitate the Human Realm in the future?”

Mu Tianyi said calmly, “There are humans who can challenge our ancestors alone, and there are those who can reverse the destiny of an entire realm.”

“What a powerful race.”

“Jigge, I know Zhuge Tianming scolded you.”

“But you should consider that as your honor.”

“Many diviners don’t even have the qualification to be scolded by him.”

These words made Jigge’s expression uncontrollable, filled with shock and bewilderment.

The Divine King was actually… praising others while exposing his own shortcomings!

This was not good at all!

Mu Tianyi looked down at Jigge and suddenly asked, “When did we first meet?”

Jigge quickly said, “Your Majesty, I met you after you became the strongest prodigy in the Divine Realm.”

“Oh…” Mu Tianyi nodded slightly and said, “You may leave.”

Watching Jigge walk away, Mu Tianyi frowned, thinking that living too long had made his memories blur.

It turned out that Jigge hadn’t grown up with him.

His junior often said that he was frequently reprimanded by his master.

But he didn’t know that it was himself who had been punished more.

From a young age, he couldn’t understand why the Divine Realm had to use falsehoods to maintain a superficial grandeur.

Why couldn’t we admit that we were actually inadequate?

One can only progress by acknowledging one’s mistakes.

Those who do not recognize their mistakes cannot advance.

But his master always said that the Divine Realm’s majesty was sacred and inviolable.

Acknowledging certain facts was seen as desecrating the Divine Realm, insulting the Son of Heaven! Defying the heavens!

But until now, Mu Tianyi still didn’t know what the Son of Heaven was or had ever seen the heavens.

During his most rebellious years, he often cursed in his heart, asking what exactly the heavens were and why they forced them to distort themselves.
