The leaders of the various forces nodded one after another, expressing their respect for the Grand Priests.
The Grand Priests had been stationed in the Divine Realm for a long time. They had a great say in the Divine Realm, and they needed their cooperation during the upcoming conference. Therefore, no one dared to neglect them, even if it was the Starry Sky Giants.
"Many of you have come to the Divine Realm for the first time, but there are also many newcomers. Therefore, the Old Man will explain the rules of the Divine Realm."
As the Chief Grand Priest, the old man's eyes were gentle, but his voice was full of energy, spreading throughout the huge square.
"The Divine Realm is the common holy land of countless Divine Path forces in the 67 Star Fields. It looks vast, but it is mainly divided into three areas, namely the Divine Town, the Arena of the Gods, and the Divine Tree Forest.
"During the Divine Realm Conference, everyone can walk freely in the Divine Town. There are many blessed places unique to the Divine Realm. I believe everyone will be satisfied.
"The Arena of the Gods is the place where all forces will hold ranking battles. I believe you will be able to see exciting battles from the 67 Star Fields every day.
"Finally, there is the Divine Tree Forest. Everyone, remember, although the Divine Realm is large, the Divine Tree Forest is the limit of where you can move freely. The Divine Tree Forest is full of restrictions. If you don't follow the rules and enter without permission, you will be lost forever, or your soul will be destroyed. "
When the Chief Grand Priest mentioned the Divine Tree Forest, his tone became much more serious. After his simple introduction, tens of millions of cultivators had a preliminary impression of the Divine Realm.
"The Arena of the Gods will officially open in two hours, and the ranking battles will begin immediately. When the new ranking list is out, we Grand Priests will welcome you with open arms at the Deity Town's Council Tower. "
After the Chief Grand Priest finished speaking, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense, and many forces had a strong smell of gunpowder.
Why would the ranking battles be held in the arena before the conference began?
Before the Divine Realm was born, it was said that various forces often fought for territory and interests, and the 67 Star Fields were constantly at war.
After the establishment of the Divine Realm, in order to prevent the various Divine Dao forces from consuming each other, they adopted the method of ranking battles.
Every 65,555 years, the Divine Realm Conference would be held, and the various forces would fight each other in the arena to determine the size of their territories and the amount of benefits they would get for the next 65,555 years.
Therefore, the so-called meeting could only be held after the ranking battle had ended. At that time, the victors would head to the council tower and have the right to get a bigger piece of the cake of the Divine Realm.
As for those who didn't perform well in the competition, they could only pick up the leftovers. Some of the factions that lost in the ranking battles would even decline and become unranked factions.
This rule of the law of the jungle had protected the stability of the Divine Realm over the past million years. After the collapse of the Primeval Immortal World, they became more and more stable in occupying the ruling position in this universe.
The competition would begin in two hours, and this caused all the forces to become complacent.
The factions that didn't perform well in the last conference wanted to win back their losses, and the factions that performed well in the last conference also wanted to use this opportunity to further consolidate their positions.
Most of the ranking lists in the Divine Realm had age restrictions, ensuring that everyone would have the opportunity to attack the rankings every 65,555 years. Therefore, even some of the smaller factions hoped to win big this time.
Gu Chen stood in the Nether Realm's team, listening to the cultivators around him discuss the rules and process of the Divine Realm Conference. He couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
The rules and regulations of the Divine Realm were indeed positive. Not only did it ensure that the various factions in the Divine Realm wouldn't have any internal conflicts, but it also ensured that all the factions, big or small, could always maintain sufficient vitality.
This ranking battle was like a bait, and the countless factions were the fish. In order to obtain more bait, they would desperately climb up.
"I don't know what the Primeval Immortal World was like, but the current Ancient Heaven is indeed far inferior to the Divine Realm."
Gu Chen recalled the ancient Heavenly Court, which had once been in a state of disunity. Not only were their forces relatively weak, but there were also many internal factions. How could they compare to the Immortal Realm, which was united?
It was no wonder that it was getting worse day by day.
"The interior of Ancient Heaven has now been cleansed, and Tang Ning has gained control with the power of the Pure Spirit Kingdom. But what is Tang Ning thinking? Even with the help of the chaos created by the Pure Spirit Kingdom, the price that Ancient Heaven has to pay for attacking the Divine Realm is still unimaginable. "
Gu Chen's eyes were gloomy. He tried to secretly use his Heavenly Note Talisman to see if he could get in touch with Hai Dongqing.
As his spy, Hai Dongqing would warn him before the Ancient Heaven attacked. After rescuing his father, he wanted to use the help of the Heart Ape Clan to retreat. He also needed Hai Dongqing's help.
Unfortunately, the Heavenly Note Talisman didn't respond at all in the Divine Realm. It seemed that its connection with the outside world had been completely cut off.
Gu Chen furrowed his brows when he noticed this.
According to Wu Lingxian, the Pure Spirit Kingdom would contact the Ancient Heaven after obtaining what they wanted. But now, his Heavenly Note Talisman couldn't be used, and other means were probably the same. How could the Pure Spirit Kingdom contact the army of Ancient Heaven outside?
This was something he couldn't figure out. The Man with a Bamboo Hat's specific plan had many reservations about his own people.
"No matter what, when the Divine Realm is in chaos, an opportunity should appear."
Gu Chen pondered. Looking at the tens of millions of cultivators on the plaza, he didn't know what the situation would be like here after the Divine Realm was in chaos.
The various forces entered God Town under the lead of different God Officials. However, there were even more forces that headed directly to the Arena of the Gods to prepare for the ranking battle that was about to begin.
Under the lead of Underworld Supremacy Xiusha, the people from the Nether Realm arrived at the Arena of the Gods. There were many rooms here for the various forces to rest and adjust.
There was a huge mirror crystal in the room. Through the crystal, one could see the situation of the competition in the arena from the room.
After the people from the Nether Realm arrived at the room, Underworld Supremacy Xiusha started to mobilize.
"Although there are many rankings in the Divine Realm, the most important ones are the Genius Ranking of the Ten Thousand Races and the Divine Grace Ranking.
"The Genius Ranking of the Ten Thousand Races can only be entered by cultivators below the age of one thousand, while the Divine Grace Ranking is more lenient until the age of ten thousand. You are all the pillars of the Nether Realm. This time, you must do your best to bring the Nether Realm up on the ranking list! "
Underworld Supremacy Xiusha looked at the cultivators that were about to participate in the two ranking battles, especially Gu Chen, Jiang Baiming, and the Saint of the Divine Grace Ranking. His eyes were filled with anticipation.
The Nether Realm hadn't nurtured any outstanding geniuses in the past thousand years. Therefore, they didn't have much hope for the Genius Ranking of the Ten Thousand Races. They were just there to make up the numbers.
However, the Divine Grace Ranking was different. It was directly related to the ranking of the Nether Realm in the Divine Realm. Therefore, they paid special attention to it.
In particular, the Saint of the Nether Realm was a genius that they had done their best to nurture. His strength was already pretty good. In addition, the two dark horses, Gu Chen and Jiang Baiming, had performed outstandingly at the Battle God Banquet. Therefore, they were especially confident about the ranking of the ranking list.
Underworld Supremacy Xiusha promised everyone that if they performed outstandingly, the Nether Realm would reward them greatly in an attempt to motivate them. However, although Gu Chen seemed to be listening attentively, he didn't take it to heart at all.
After leaving the plaza, he had been wondering when Wu Lingxian would contact him.
