"Illusory worlds are good! On the Luo Wu Continent, there are many forces, academies, and kingdoms researching how to descend from the Divine Realm to these illusory worlds. Once descent is possible, they will not only possess eternal life, like gods, but also the supreme power that only the highest gods can wield."
"Unfortunately... there are not many powerful beings on the Luo Wu Continent. Currently, there is no news of anyone researching a method to descend from the Divine Realm to an illusory world. It is only vaguely heard that on other higher continents, there might be methods for mortals in the Divine Realm to descend to illusory worlds... but such methods are likely extremely valuable on other continents and not easily obtained."
Yan Che's expression was filled with helplessness.
Although the Yan family was large, it was merely a family in Jiamu City. Compared to the entire Tian Yuan Kingdom, it was not very conspicuous. Looking at the entire continent, it was already extremely insignificant.
Even with the resources of the Yan family behind him, Yan Che did not believe he could reach the pinnacle of the extraordinary path, achieve great accomplishments, or even become an immortal god.
And the goal of gods, the supreme pursuit of extraordinary beings, could be easily obtained in illusory worlds.
Merely an extraordinary being at the first stage of Qi Yuan, or even an ordinary mortal in the Divine Realm, could achieve eternal life upon descending to an illusory world. With the true power they brought, they would be invincible in that illusory world.
This was also a path that was incredibly enviable.
However, the extraordinary beings and countless forces on the Luo Wu Continent had never been able to research the specific method of descent.
This also made Yan Che extremely regretful.
After hearing everything, Fang Ming felt no surprise at Yan Che's regret.
Although the Divine Realm was called the only true realm.
Although gods in the Divine Realm wielded supreme authority and ultimate power.
Although from the perspective of the Divine Realm, all other worlds were illusory, and only the Divine Realm was real.
This did not mean that the commoners and ordinary extraordinary beings of the Divine Realm did not envy the lower realms or wish to descend to them.
Even the ordinary people among the dozen or so bandits Fang Ming had just killed, who had no extraordinary power, could instantly achieve things that even Hongmeng Supremes could not do in the Gu Hongmeng Realm opened by Fang Ming, by virtue of the true power they carried.
They could suppress Hongmeng Supremes and become the sole rulers of the Gu Hongmeng Realm and countless chaotic seas.
As for eternal life, it could be directly obtained.
The eternity in the lower realms was merely illusory eternity. Mortals in the Divine Realm could not achieve true eternity, but illusory eternity was incredibly easy.
The strongest beings in illusory worlds wished to transcend illusion and reach the true world.
Meanwhile, many commoners, extraordinary beings, and even low-level gods in the true world, the Divine Realm, wished to descend to illusory worlds and become omnipotent there.
What was this called?
Those inside the walls wanted to get out.
Those outside the walls wanted to get in.
This was human nature at its finest.
As they chatted, several hours passed.
The sky gradually shifted from early morning to evening.
This was the second night Fang Ming had spent in the Divine Realm.
The first night had been spent in the forest.
But tonight, Fang Ming had walked a considerable distance out of the forest and arrived in a town in the Divine Realm.
Entering the town named Jiamu City, under the darkness, many buildings stood independently, emitting light that dispelled the darkness.
The streets were filled with ordinary people, who worked during the day and returned home in the evening, whether farming, doing business, or even begging.
Upon seeing a beggar in tattered clothes on the street.
Fang Ming had to admit that this so-called Divine Realm was indeed different from ordinary upper realms.
What were the upper realms Fang Ming had seen before?
In the upper realm where the Five Elements Heavenly Palace was located, there were many immortals and gods. Even if there were "mortals" on the ground, it was merely a recognized classification.
The people on the ground, and those two great kingdoms, could have their main cannons destroy billions of star clusters, their power cores could sustain travel across many great universes, and their hulls covered countless dimensions and parallel planes.
So-called mortal generals could even destroy universes.
These "mortals" in the upper realms were merely a slogan, not truly mortals without extraordinary power.
Ordinary civilians who had lived for hundreds of billions of years were common. In essence, the title of mortal did not befit them.
The two great kingdoms could be called immortal dynasties in many worlds of the Void Sea.
Then there was the Hongmeng Realm, evolved by Dao Hongjun.
The Hongmeng Realm suppressed countless chaotic domains. The Hongmeng beings who transcended to the Hongmeng Realm, the weakest among them, could create or destroy billions of universes with a flick of their fingers.
The weakest Hongmeng beings in the Gu Hongmeng Realm were all high-level beings, capable of creating chaotic domains from nothingness.
This was the upper realm in the minds of ordinary people and ordinary cultivators.
This was why many cultivators wished to ascend to the upper realm, to advance to higher levels.
Because this would cause their life essence to evolve.
But this upper realm, the Divine Realm, was completely different from ordinary upper realms.
This place was called the only true realm, and Fang Ming knew clearly that the beggar about to starve to death before him had an extremely high essence, far superior to any Hongmeng Supreme in the lower realm.
Such a high-level world could indeed be called a powerful world, as even a beggar could be stronger than a Hongmeng Supreme, which indirectly demonstrated how powerful the Divine Realm was.
However, from another perspective, this so-called only true realm, the highest world, still had a large number of commoners whose lifespans were no more than a hundred years, and professions like bandits and beggars still existed.
Beings more powerful than Hongmeng Supremes became bandits, beggars, guards, fishermen, servants, and attendants…
Lifespans of less than a hundred years, getting tired from running, inability to fly, dying without breathing, getting sick from rain, and dying from illness without medicine…
This was the first time Fang Ming had seen such things. From this perspective, if one did not consider the true essence of the Divine Realm, this was undoubtedly a low-level world.
Cultivators in the lower realms ascended to the upper realms, hoping to further evolve their life forms.
But after ascending to the Divine Realm and becoming a mortal, whether this was an evolution of life form was uncertain in their minds.
If they had known this earlier, if they had known the truth of the Divine Realm, these cultivators might not have wished to ascend.
Being an supreme overlord in an illusory world was naturally better than being a mortal in the Divine Realm who died after a hundred years.
In the illusory world, one could achieve eternity, while in the true world, one had a lifespan of only a hundred years. Given this, the distinction between true and illusory held no difference for some people.
They would rather live eternally in an illusory world.
"The true power of the Divine Realm is too formidable."
Fang Ming sighed in his heart, "A trace of true power, upon reaching the lower realm, could evolve into many multi-universes."
