Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

No one expected Duan Ling Tian to obtain the jade token with the word ‘move’ again.

“Mansion Master Duan, you’re really very lucky.”

The mansion masters looked at Duan Ling Tian enviously.

Duan Ling Tian did not expect to obtain the ‘move’ jade token again as well.

At this time, the young mansion master, who obtained the other ‘move’ jade token, smiled wryly and said, “My strength is on par with that of Mansion Master Sun. Since Mansion Master Sun isn’t a match for Mansion Master Duan, I’m naturally no match for Mansion Master Duan as well. I surrender.”

!!

At the same time, Zhu Ying Jun felt rather speechless by Duan Ling Tian’s heaven-defying luck. He did not pull any tricks and had nothing to do with Duan Ling Tian obtaining the ‘move’ jade tokens consecutively.

‘Well, talent alone isn’t enough for him to come so far… His luck plays an important role as well…’ Zhu Ying Jun reasoned with himself inwardly. For Duan Ling Tian to achieve such amazing feats as a rudimentary Emperor of Gods, common sense could not be applied to him.

Subsequently, Zhu Ying Jun waved his hand, gesturing to his subordinate to release the advanced Emperor of Gods’ restriction.

Just like before, Duan Ling Tian swiftly killed the advanced Emperor of Gods with a sword ray.

Once again, a beam of light shone down on Duan Ling Tian from the sky as the mansion masters looked at Duan Ling Tian enviously.

Even Yun He felt envious as he watched Duan Ling Tian.

The reward for a rudimentary Emperor of Gods killing an advanced Emperor of Gods was abundant as it was, and Duan Ling Tian received three consecutive rewards.

After Duan Ling Tian returned to his seat, he and the others turned to look at Zhu Ying Jun.

“Are we going to continue with the game?”

Zhu Ying Jun shook his head and said with a sigh, “Initially, I only planned to have three rounds. However, since Mansion Master Duan won two out of three rounds, I’ll add another round to give the other mansion masters another chance.” He looked at Fang Xiong Lei with an apologetic smile as he said, “To make things fair, Mansion Master Duan and Mansion Master Fang won’t be participating in the next round.”

Fang Xiong Lei smiled and nodded. Clearly, he did not have a problem with this.

Zhu Ying Jun did not feel apologetic toward Duan Ling Tian at all. What need was there to feel bad for Duan Ling Tian who killed three advanced Emperors of Gods?

Duan Ling Tian did not object even if he felt that it was unfair. After all, he knew his objection would be useless. It was clear that everyone would prefer it if he did not participate again. It would definitely cause a commotion if he participated and obtained the ‘move’ jade token again. As such, he could only watch.

At the same time, Duan Ling Tian could also sense his Divine Energy growing stronger as his body slowly absorbed the energy from the rewards.

Soon after, two mansion masters, who obtained the ‘move’ jade tokens, began to fight. After exchanging a thousand moves, one of them finally won and received his reward.

With that, the game came to an end.

Zhu Ying Jun did not propose another game, hoping that the mansion masters would interact more and befriend each other. After all, during the Battle of the Divine Kingdoms, they might need to cooperate with each other.

In Duan Ling Tian’s opinion, cooperation would only happen if both parties’ needs were met. However, if one was strong enough to handle everything alone, why would there be a need for cooperation? Moreover, the weaker party would have to be even more on guard against the stronger party.

Time continued to pass, and the banquet was soon coming to an end.

At this time, Sun Yi Yu, the Mansion Master of the Giant Hawk Mansion, looked at Duan Ling Tian with eyes that shone with anticipation as he asked, “Mansion Master Duan, if you don’t mind, can you tell us more about yourself?”

The other mansion masters turned to look at Duan Ling Tian upon hearing these words. They were all curious about him, after all. Where did such a terrifying rudimentary Emperor of Gods come from? Would anyone below the realm of a Supreme God be a match for him once he became an intermediate Emperor of Gods? They could not imagine how strong he would be at that time. Perhaps, he would even be able to kill an ordinary rudimentary Supreme God once he became an advanced Emperor of Gods.

Duan Ling Tian glanced at Sun Yi Yu before he replied, “I’m from the Righteous Divine Kingdom. I lived in seclusion in the past. Is this enough, Mansion Master Sun?”

Duan Ling Tian’s eyes flashed coldly as he looked at Sun Yi Yu. How could he not know that Sun Yi Yu harbored ill intentions?

As though he could read Duan Ling Tian’s mind, Sun Yi Yu smiled faintly as he said loudly, “Mansion Master Duan, I only asked because I wanted to verify where you came from. Since you said you’re from our Righteous Divine Kingdom, I naturally believe you. I apologize if you find my question rude. I was only worried since it’s not unprecedented for other Divine Kingdoms to plant spies with the intention of stirring up trouble during the Battle of the Divine Kingdoms. It’s a very common thing to do, after all.”

Despite Sun Yi Yu’s words, his distrust and suspicion were very obvious on his face.

Duan Ling Tian’s smile slowly widened as he said, “If Mansion Master Sun is so worried about this, all we need to do is not cooperate with each other during the Battle of Divine Kingdoms. With this, you don’t have to worry about my ‘betrayal’.”

Before Sun Yi Yu could speak again, Zhu Ying Jun said, “That’s enough, Mansion Master Sun. You should watch your words and not speak without concrete evidence. Even if the Divine Kingdoms have sent spies here, they won’t send someone as outstanding as Mansion Master Duan. They’d be worried about the risk of us killing such a monstrous prodigy if his identity were exposed. Although they had sent talented spies in the past, the spies would all hide their strength.”

Following that, Zhu Ying Jun demanded that Sun Yi Yu apologize to Duan Ling Tian.

Sun Yi Yu’s expression was rather sincere as he apologized, but a hint of gloating could be seen in his eyes.

‘Sun Yi Yu…’ Duan Ling Tian’s flashed briefly with killing intent. Although he was smiling at Sun Yi Yu at this time, inwardly, he thought to himself that he would not let Sun Yi Yu go if they were to meet in Destiny Canyon.

At this time, Zhu Ying Jun finally said, “Everyone, the banquet today has come to an end. I hope all of you will continue to try to improve your strength before the Battle of the Divine Kingdoms. If you need any assistance, you can look for Vice Commander Yun. The royal family will also lend you some resources…”

Duan Ling Tian sighed inwardly. In the end, he still owed Zhu Ying Jun a favor.

Duan Ling Tian decided to leave the other mansion masters in the Righteous Divine Kingdom, except for Sun Yi Yu, alone if he ran into them during the Battle of the Divine Kingdoms. Apart from a few, he was confident he was stronger than the others. It was evident when the young mansion master surrendered after he defeated Sun Yi Yu.

…

After Yun He led Duan Ling Tian and the others back to the compound, he followed Duan Ling Tian back to Duan Ling Tian’s courtyard while the others returned to their respective courtyards.

Yun He said with a wry smile, “Brother Ling Tian, you should’ve kept a low profile today. Although most of the mansion masters seem friendly, who knows what they’ll be like at the critical moment? Humans are selfish and jealous by nature. Moreover, after killing three advanced Emperors of Gods earlier, all of them will guard against you tightly. If it’s possible, it’s best for you to avoid them during the Battle of the Divine Kingdoms unless you’re not worried about being betrayed.”

“Thank you for your reminder, Brother Yun He. I’ll be cautious,” Duan Ling Tian said. He knew Yun He was worried about him so he felt rather thankful.

After Yun He left, Duan Ling Tian entered his room and began to absorb the energy from the three rewards.

‘With the energy I obtained today, my progress toward becoming an intermediate Emperor of Gods should be more than 50%,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself excitedly before he closed his eyes to cultivate.

…

At the same time, many people in the various Divine Kingdoms in the Southern Heaven Continent were lamenting.

“I’m still too weak to qualify for the Battle of the Divine Kingdoms in Destiny Canyon! What a pity!”

“A year is about to pass, and I’ve yet to make any significant improvement. There are only two years left before I’ll be forcefully transported out of this place…”

“The Trial of Gods is really unique. It’s so competitive and dangerous in here. I almost died before…”

“You’re either the hunter or the prey here… I hope time will pass by quickly. I really don’t want to stay here for too long!”
