Chapter 1291

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

Gu Chen made up his mind. He was the supreme commander of the seven worlds. No matter what the Xing County did in the past, they had to listen to him now.

On that day, the Chaos Transit Window of the 82th world was completely conquered. The Xing County's army marched in and took over the Five Elements Emperor's rule in the 82th world.

Then, the General of Tian Fa, Gu Chen, immediately issued many military orders. He forbade the Xing County's army from killing innocent people in the 82th world and from affecting the lives of countless creatures on the major life planets!

Moreover, the Five Elements Spirit Tribe's army that surrendered were not killed. Most of them were exiled or forced into labor or other forms of punishment.

This was very different from the Xing County's rule when dealing with rebellious worlds in the past. Naturally, it caused a lot of controversy.

Many generals protested to Gu Chen together, but they were severely reprimanded. The leader was even severely punished by Gu Chen for offending his superior.

After this, many generals realized how arbitrary Gu Chen was. Thinking of his bravery on the battlefield, they didn't dare to mention this matter again even though they were resentful!

Because of this, the 82th world had a short period of peace. For ordinary people, life was not much different from before.

The people on the planets that were originally under the Five Elements Emperor's rule were relieved of a huge burden because of the tyrant's disappearance. The whole world celebrated.

The Xing County's army stationed themselves in the 82th world. After a short rest, they prepared to attack the next world.

The next world was the sixth world ruled by Queen Medusa. The sixth world was far more powerful than the 82th world. Moreover, the death of the Five Elements Emperor would definitely attract the attention of the remaining six emperors. It was not hard to imagine that the next war would be even more difficult.

Gu Chen didn't rush to the border of the sixth world. Instead, he sent Wu Li and Ma Lie to scout the situation first. He stayed in the Five Elements Palace to cultivate.

"The so-called Origin is the source of the power of a world's laws. Theoretically, it's not inexhaustible."

"When one emperor in a world condenses the Origin, it means that the possibility of others condensing the same Origin is greatly reduced. Even if they succeed, the Origin will be divided, and the path of advancement for two emperors will be narrowed."

"Therefore, if a cultivator wishes to progress further in the ninth heaven of the Dao Querying Realm, other than following the rules and comprehending their own dao, the fastest way is to plunder the same kind of source from other worlds!"

Gu Chen sat in the air above the ruins of the Five Elements Palace and thought back to the cultivation experiences of Dao Querying Realm cultivators that he had learned in the Book Ocean Tower of Penalty Realm.

In the Ninth World, Gu Chen did not know how to cultivate above the Dao Querying Realm because the Emperor Realm had been lost for a million years.

After leaving the Ninth World and entering the vast Chaos Sea, he knew that the Dao Querying Realm was divided into nine heavens. Above the nine heavens was the Severing Dao Realm.

During his two months in the Punishment Realm, Gu Chen absorbed all kinds of knowledge like a sponge. What he learned the most was the path of cultivation.

There were nine levels of Dao Querying Realm, and Gu Chen's cultivation level was only at the first level of Dao Querying Realm.

On the surface, Gu Chen could even kill Pang Zheng, who was at the fifth heaven of the Dao Querying Realm. His strength was equivalent to that of a sixth heaven of the Dao Querying Realm.

But the reason why he was so strong was because he had condensed four sources. Moreover, each source was rarer and more valuable than the last.

Normally, after a Dao Querying Realm cultivator condensed his source, the power of the source in his body would continue to grow with cultivation and gradually rise to the next level.

But Gu Chen had just stepped into the Emperor Realm and already had four sources. This meant that the power of the source in his body was equivalent to that of a fourth heaven of the Dao Querying Realm.

In addition, nature, space-time, life and death, and soul were already extremely strong among the 8,555 great daos. This caused his battle power to increase by two levels.

All of this caused Gu Chen to have the battle power of a sixth heaven when he just entered the Dao Querying Realm. But looking at it separately, each source was only at the first heaven of the Dao Querying Realm!

In the Dao Querying Realm, every level was as difficult as ascending to the heavens. Even the God Emperors and Immortal Emperors of the Ninth World were mostly at the first heaven of the Dao Querying Realm.

Even Heaven's Equal Immortal Emperor and West Heaven Buddha Emperor used their reincarnation techniques to cultivate for millions of years, but they only reached the third heaven of the Dao Querying Realm.

The difficulty of the Dao Querying Realm was evident from this!

The Chaos Sea was vast and boundless. There were countless worlds, so there were countless emperors.

But what about dao monarchs?

In a book in the Book Ocean Tower, the author had once roamed the worlds. After analyzing all sorts of data, he concluded that there were at most 655 dao monarchs in history!

Out of the countless emperors in the countless worlds, only 655 dao monarchs could be born. And these 655 people stood at the pinnacle of the entire Chaos Sea!

Although the author's words might not be correct, it made Gu Chen realize how difficult the Dao Querying Nine Heavenly Stairs was.

Ever since he broke through to the Emperor realm, Gu Chen had a feeling that no matter how much he cultivated, it was very difficult for his Origins to strengthen.

At first, he thought that it was his problem. After all, after mastering the Black Hole Scroll, he was still unable to gain basic mastery of the fourth volume of the Heavenly Phenomenon Art, the Domain Scroll.

But after reading more and more cultivation notes in the Book Ocean Tower, he gradually understood that the reason why it was difficult to strengthen his Origins was because he had already reached the limit.

The Origins was the source of the nomological powers of a world. When Gu Chen became an Emperor in the Ninth World, the corresponding nomological powers of this world were already under his control.

Under such circumstances, there were only two ways to raise one's cultivation level.

One was to diligently cultivate Dao techniques. By constantly digging in the Dao Querying Sea, the Origins in one's body would strengthen sooner or later.

But this method of cultivation was too slow. Unless one had an epiphany, one could only rely on time to slowly accumulate.

And the other way was to look at the outside world....

If one world's Origins were monopolized, what about the other worlds?

The Chaos Sea had given birth to countless worlds, and each world had been given a powerful Origins.

Even if it was the same Origins, each world would have a different manifestation of it.

They were like the different stems and leaves of a plant. Although they were one, they could have different beauties.

Hence, when a Dao Querying Realm emperor reached the pinnacle of a world, they would often venture out to find a way to break through.

A portion of them would choose to roam the Great Thousand Worlds and comprehend the Origins in each world to cultivate their own Dao.

The other portion would rely on martial prowess to plunder other worlds. This plunder wasn't just for resources, but also for fate!

Fate sounded mysterious, but to the emperors, it referred to the control of a world's Origins.
