Rumble!
Thunder rumbled in the sky.
Following that, there was a deafening crack.
A bolt of lightning struck the tallest mountain.
Immediately after, Lin Fan's voice rang out.
"The Three Realms have returned, bestowing rewards upon those who have rendered merit!"
Upon hearing this, those who had participated in the previous battle displayed joy.
This meant that the world's rewards were selective.
As such, they would receive relatively more rewards.
"I bestow upon you, a deepening of your foundations!"
Rumble!
Golden light descended from the sky.
Bathed in the golden radiance, they found their talents strengthening, their bloodlines enhancing, and even their comprehension improving.
Before they could recover, the voice spoke again.
"I bestow upon you, one divine ability!"
Golden light descended once more, enveloping their entire bodies, and then they discovered that a divine ability had indeed appeared in their minds.
Some received powerful divine abilities, while others received ordinary ones.
Before they could fully process the information of the divine abilities, the voice spoke again.
"I bestow upon you, a beam of evolutionary light, capable of leveling up one skill!"
This time, the golden light descended and vanished into their bodies.
They all gained an understanding that they could freely evolve a skill, but if the skill's level was too high, it would only increase proficiency and not its level.
"The bestowal is complete. Your merits have been recorded on the Monument of Merit. You may view it at your leisure!"
With a rumble!
At the peak of the tallest mountain, a colossal stone monument that pierced the heavens and earth descended with a crash, standing tall on the summit.
Upon closer inspection, golden characters flickered within, displaying the names of those who had rendered merit. Staring at the names, one could see brief biographies of their owners.
Seeing this, the crowd felt gratitude and immediately bowed in thanks.
Lin Fan declared, "The Three Realms have returned. I, Lin Fan, now preside over the Heavenly Dao and am the Lord of the Three Realms. However, I still lack a Lord of the Human Realm and a Lord of the Underworld!"
"I decree Ming Kun as the Lord of the Underworld, to govern the Underworld! You may choose your own title!"
"I decree Lin Rong as the Lord of the Human Realm, to govern the Human Realm! You may choose your own title!"
"I request the two of you to choose your titles, and I shall imprint them into the origins of your respective realms."
Ming Kun pondered for a moment and said, "As the Lord of the Underworld, I shall be the Master of the Netherworld. I shall take the title: Ming Di!"
Lin Rong blurted out without hesitation, "As the Lord of the Human Realm, naturally, I shall be the Ren Huang!"
The next moment.
The four grand characters of Ming Di and Ren Huang flew from their bodies and merged into the two realms.
With a rumble.
The two realms recognized their titles.
Henceforth, they were the Lords of their respective realms.
After enfeigning the Lords of the Two Realms, Lin Fan began to enfeoff other deities.
"I decree the Lord of Reincarnation as the Hall Master of the Hall of Reincarnation and the Netherworld Inspector, to oversee reincarnation, patrol the Underworld, and deal with unlawful matters."
"I decree the Lord of Hell as the Hall Master of the Hall of Hell and the Chief Officer of the Combat Department, to govern Hell, judge wicked souls, and handle all external combat affairs."
"I decree, ..."
After enfeoffing the twelve Hall Masters of the Underworld, he enfeoffed other Yin deities, and only then did he begin to enfeoff the deities of the Human Realm.
The Human Realm was the place with the most intense mortal aura, and there were also many deities, mainly mountain gods, river gods, sea gods, and other deities of various famous mountains and rivers.
After enfeoffing these deities, Lin Yu continued the enfeoffment.
This time, it was the turn of the Heavenly Realm deities. The Heavenly Realm had more deities, as they managed the Three Realms, so various major and minor deities held certain authority.
For example, the deities who controlled lightning, the deities who controlled flames, and so on. Above them were Emperors who oversaw the major elements.
There were a total of four Great Emperors, each overseeing one of the Four Directions, known as the Four Emperors. Above them were the Three Pure Ones, and above the Three Pure Ones was Lin Fan, who governed all, namely the Heavenly Dao.
"The enfeoffment of gods is complete!"
"All gods, return to your positions!"
Rumble!
All the deities sensed it and returned to their designated places.
After all the gods had returned, he felt something.
Suddenly, there were rumbling sounds from the Great Dao Heaven, and then a scroll emitting golden light flew out.
He instinctively reached out, and the scroll flew into his palm.
"Feng Shen Bang!"
Three large characters automatically appeared in his mind.
That's right.
It was the Feng Shen Bang.
This was the Primordial Treasure of the Heavenly Emperor. With the shattering of the Great Dao Heaven, its form had been hidden, and it only reappeared when the Three Realms were re-established and the gods were enfeoffed anew.
With the appearance of the Feng Shen Bang, a True Spirit emerged above each deity's head. The True Spirits exhaled a breath of true energy, which pierced through the void and entered the Feng Shen Bang.
Lin Yu discovered that this Feng Shen Bang did not restrain the gods nor hinder their advancement, unlike the Feng Shen Bang he had imagined.
Moreover, with their True Spirits entrusted to the Feng Shen Bang, they would not be resurrected if they died.
However, by entering the Feng Shen Bang, they could cultivate by borrowing the luck of the Three Realms, leading to rapid progress.
Not only that, but as the master of the Feng Shen Bang, he could also borrow the power of the gods to fight.
"I didn't expect that even the Heavenly Emperor who borrowed the power of the gods could be defeated. It seems that the insects are not to be underestimated."
His gaze sharpened as he observed the gods. After a long while, he slowly spoke:
"All gods, you should have sensed it. Your cultivation speed will now increase severalfold. Go and cultivate!"
"Yes!"
The gods rejoiced and immediately went to cultivate.
That day, the divine light of breakthroughs enveloped Blue Star, erupting like a ceaseless volcano, drawing envy and hatred from many.
At the same time.
A wormhole appeared in the void.
Then, two humanoid insects emerged.
They surveyed their surroundings, their brows furrowed slightly, and flew towards one direction.
Their speed was extremely fast, but it still took them several years to reach their destination.
Looking at the massive Nine Ring Domain before them, both of them, having participated in the battle of that year, were greatly surprised.
The Extinction Fire Insect Ancestor exclaimed, "Back then, we shattered the Nine Rings together. I didn't expect that after hundreds of millions of years, it would have recovered, and be even more powerful than before!"
The Brown Thorn Insect Ancestor chuckled, "No matter how many times it recovers, the outcome will not change. I have already sensed the culprit. Let us strike together and destroy it along with the Nine Rings."
The Extinction Fire Insect Ancestor nodded.
The two Insect Ancestors immediately attacked.
One unleashed a sky full of flames, and the other summoned countless brown spikes.
"Destroy!"
"Break!"
Rumble!
The attacks of the two insects broke through the void barrier and surged towards the Nine Rings.
Their power almost covered half of the Nine Rings. As soon as they appeared within the Nine Rings, Lin Fan sensed them.
He thought to himself, "They're here."
"Lin Rong, go and deal with them!"
Lin Rong grunted in response.
Boom!
Lin Rong vanished instantly and reappeared outside the void.
The two insects were about to increase their power, intending to destroy the void of Blue Star in one fell swoop, but in the next moment, they were shocked.
Sizzle~
Their four limbs were neatly severed, and green liquid flowed onto the ground.
"What's going on?"
"It's you!"
They looked at Lin Rong with expressions of surprise.
Lin Rong snorted coldly, "No need for pleasantries. Let's kill you first!"
With that, he raised his hand and gently brought it down.
The heads of the two insects landed with a thud in his hands.
"Hmph, a mere early-stage Hunyuan realm cultivator dares to seek revenge?"
Having killed two Hunyuan realm insects, he turned and returned to Blue Star.
However, Lin Rong couldn't help but sigh, as these Hunyuan realm insects would not truly die. Because their True Spirits were entrusted to the void, they would still revive after tens of thousands or even millions of years.
Unable to gain upgrade points, Lin Rong was too lazy to pursue the Hunyuan realm insects.
"Hmph, before you revive, I will become immensely powerful and destroy the Insect Domain, preventing your resurrection."
He muttered to himself.
