The God Realm.
This realm was among the first worlds to enter Blue Star during the initial great changes.
The beings within this world are of the Heavenly God race. Apart from being taller and stronger, they bear no significant physical differences from humans.
Despite their similar appearance, there is a reproductive barrier. However, for powerful beings at the divine level, this barrier does not exist.
Upon reaching the divine realm, one can transcend reproductive barriers and create various hybrid offspring.
Three hundred years ago, many divine descendants were born, such as Chi Yu of the human race, and the various divine descendant families, all of whom are descendants left behind by ancient gods.
Divine descendants possess divine blood. If the original god's realm was that of a lower god, then their descendants would find it relatively easy to break through to the lower god realm.
However, the difficulty of breaking through to the lower god realm, or even surpassing that ancient god, would increase by dozens of times.
Divine descendants have both advantages and disadvantages.
Their advantage is a high starting point and rapid cultivation speed. Their disadvantage is that their upper limit is restricted by their ancestor's realm.
The intelligent beings of this God Realm, the Heavenly God race, are all divine descendants.
They are born with second-tier strength, and upon reaching adulthood, they commonly possess fifth or even sixth-tier strength. Their cultivation speed is fast, and ninth-tier individuals are not uncommon.
However, since the second great change of Blue Star, their race has only produced three demigod powerhouses.
Let alone the divine realm, the number of individuals who have reached this level is extremely scarce.
The gods of their ancestors might not have been merely lower gods, but over countless years, the divine blood within them has become extremely diluted, further weakening their realm's upper limit.
In the past, perhaps breaking through to the divine realm was not difficult, but now it is an incredibly arduous, even impossible, task.
Even the strongest geniuses within their race feel that their path forward is uncertain.
A few days ago, the Alliance of Various Races was formed. Leveraging their relationship with the human race, the Heavenly God race proposed tidying up the environment of the God Realm.
Unexpectedly, the human race was quite accommodating and directly agreed to the proposal.
With the human race's consent, other races dared not object and all passed the proposal.
They wish to resolve the issues of the God Realm, secure a fallback, and also hope to find the legacies left by the ancient gods to strengthen their race's foundation.
The Emperor of the Heavenly God race, with a face full of excitement and fawning, welcomed the arriving reinforcements from various worlds. The Great General Kuang Li stood by with a cold expression.
The Emperor of the Heavenly God race looked at the divine beings arriving one by one, his face etched with obsequiousness.
"Esteemed divine senior, please come this way!"
"You are a senior of the Main God level, please use the VIP channel."
"You are actually an Immortal Emperor, please follow me, this way!"
Seeing that even Immortal Emperors had arrived, he was overjoyed.
However, the God Realm was too broken to withstand the power of an Immortal Emperor at this moment, so the Immortal Emperor before him was merely an avatar.
Even an avatar could contend with those at the Main God level.
The powerhouses from various worlds who came to support, whether Main Gods or Immortal Emperors, did not display much disdain.
They looked down on the Heavenly God race, but the human race stood behind the Heavenly God race, so a semblance of respect was still required.
The Emperor of the Heavenly God race was not arrogant either, showing none of the demeanor of an emperor, appearing more like a servant.
Kuang Li witnessed this and felt displeased, quietly reminding him, "Your Majesty, you must maintain your image!"
His implied meaning was that His Majesty was too subservient.
The Emperor of the Heavenly God race rolled his eyes. "Do you think I want to?"
Kuang Li looked helpless. "Your Majesty, with the human race backing us, we should be dignified and composed. They wouldn't dare to do anything to us!"
The Emperor of the Heavenly God race understood this logic, but he still felt uneasy. Moreover, those powerhouses exuded formidable auras, causing him to feel flustered whenever he got close.
The Emperor of the Heavenly God race's eyes darted, and he said, "Kuang Li!"
"I am here!" Kuang Li stood straight and replied.
"You go and welcome the distinguished guests on my behalf. Remember to act with dignity and composure," he instructed with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Kuang Li's interest was piqued. His eyes showed a hint of eagerness. He wanted to show His Majesty what dignity and composure truly meant.
To show His Majesty the bearing of the Heavenly God race!
"Yes, I will complete this task flawlessly!"
With that, he turned and walked outside.
He arrived at the reception area and found the staff bowing and scraping, utterly subservient. This disgusted him, the Great General.
Stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp!!
He walked with his head held high and chest puffed out, glancing with disdain at the subservient members of his own race.
Watch me, see how I remain dignified and composed! 138 Reading Network.
With the human race backing us, what do we have to fear!
The thought of the human race brought him a sense of relief. Back then, they had helped the human race against the Wind God Dragon Realm. Although their contribution was limited, they had indeed benefited the human race.
And now, the rewards were coming!
The thought filled him with excitement, and he felt proud of his past actions in persuading His Majesty to support the human race.
He walked to a hundred meters outside the spatial gate.
"Esteemed seniors, I am Kuang Li, Great General of the Heavenly God race. I offer my respects!"
He stood fifty meters in front of the assembled races and bowed, quite courteously.
However, this courtesy was met with displeasure by the gods.
A mere mortal, acting so mighty before gods?
One being let out a cold snort and secretly released a breath of his aura.
Hum!
The aura swept out. For powerhouses at the divine level and above, it was like a gentle breeze.
But for mortals, this aura was terrifyingly powerful.
Thump!
Thump!
Dozens of thumps sounded in succession, and a crowd of beings knelt before them.
These beings included supporters, but more were the reception staff of the Heavenly God race.
Kuang Li was at the forefront, kneeling most decisively.
What's more, after he knelt, he found he couldn't stand up at all, his legs felt as weak as if they weren't his own.
"Damn it, which god released that aura? Don't they know the human race forbids it?"
"So many powerhouses, how can anyone know?"
"But look, the Heavenly God race has suffered greatly. This kneeling has truly stripped them of their dignity."
"The Heavenly God race is an ally of the human race, and they once benefited the human race. Are they not afraid of the human race causing trouble by doing this?"
"The human race's power originated from Lin Yu. Lin Yu is only one person, and it's highly unlikely he'll pursue this matter."
"A mere mortal dares to be less than humble before us gods? Ridiculous!"
"Look at that Great General Kuang Li of the Heavenly God race, his face is filled with indignant grief, yet he can't stand up. It's hilarious!"
"Mortal, do you know your mistake?"
"........... "
Kuang Li gritted his teeth, filled with grief and indignation.
For the first time, he felt the humiliation of his own weakness and helplessness so acutely.
He finally understood why His Majesty had been so subservient.
Compared to kneeling on the ground unable to stand, being subservient at least preserved some semblance of dignity.
Although they had the human race backing them, there was only one strong individual in the human race, Lin Yu, and it was highly probable that Lin Yu would not pay attention to this matter.
Furthermore, the aura released by that individual was very covert and fleeting, making it extremely difficult to identify.
In the end, it would likely be left unresolved.
The one who suffered the damage was, after all, the dignity of his Heavenly God race.
The thought filled him with regret, and a touch of unwillingness, anger, and remorse intertwined within him.
