War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

In the past, before ascending to the Realm of Gods, Duan Ling Tian knew that powerful divine beast forces in the Devata Realms had connections to the forces in the Realms of Gods. Some of their members managed to ascend to the Realms of Gods as well and became supreme powerhouses. However, after ascending to the Realm of Gods, he discovered that the few divine beast forces that were comparable to prime supreme-rank forces did not identify as a prime supreme-rank force even if others acknowledged them as such. At that time, he did not understand the reason behind their low-key behavior. However, now, he thought it had something to do with the natural restriction.

'Divine beasts aren't the only ones who are affected, even supreme powerhouses who are divine beasts are also affected in the God Defying World. For this reason, most divine beasts who are supreme powerhouses would rather stay in the Outer Boundary or in one of the Worlds under the rule of the God Defying World.'

Duan Ling Tian was alarmed when this thought appeared in his mind. He would not have thought about this if it were not for Huan'er's strange experience. If he ended up in one of the Worlds under the rule of the God Defying World, he might encounter a divine beast who was a supreme powerhouse. The natives of the World might not know him, but the divine beast, who was a supreme powerhouse from the God Defying World, would definitely know him.

'If I end up in one of the Worlds under the rule of the God Defying World, I can't simply join a prime supreme-rank force in case I encounter a divine beast who's a supreme powerhouse from the God Defying World…'

After a while, Duan Ling Tian's doppelganger from the law of life looked at Huan'er with a tender gaze. He thought that she was his lucky star. If it were not for her, he would not be aware of this hidden danger.

"Huan'er, can you elaborate more about the mysterious energy?"

Duan Ling Tian was sincerely happy about Huan'er's fortuitous encounter. He was curious about the energy that helped her cultivation, but he was also worried that the energy would negatively affect her. However, after listening to Huan'er's experience with the energy, he felt more at ease. He concluded that the energy was harmless.

'Huan'er became a Lord of Gods so quickly… It won't be long before she becomes an Emperor of Gods and even a Supreme God…' Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.

Duan Ling Tian thought that his family and friends would have to rely on him for protection. However, based on Huan'er's experience, it seemed possible for her to become a powerful supreme powerhouse. If she was truly the descendant of that heaven-defying divide beast, her attainment in the future would be comparable to that of her ancestor. This meant that she would be one of the top supreme powerhouses in not only the God Defying World but also the Myriad Worlds.

'Since the rule still exists until now, it means that no one can break the rule or no one bothered to break the rule…'

One could only imagine how powerful the ancestor of the heaven-defying beast was for being able to lay down such a rule that remained unbreakable to this day.

…

Duan Ling Tian's doppelganger from the law of life distributed the liquid from the divine fountain to his family and friends. He had also diluted the liquid beforehand to avoid any side effects since their cultivation bases were still at a low level. However, he had used a special type of essence to dilute the liquid from the divine fountain that would also aid their cultivation bases. The special essence was useless to him, but it was a treasure to them.

When Duan Ling Tian finally sat down to chat with his parents, Duan Ru Feng and Li Rou, in their courtyard, he brought up Ke'er. He did not bring up the matter when his daughter, Duan Si Ling, was around because he did not want her to worry.

Although Ke'er was absent for most of Duan Si Ling's life, Duan Si Ling did not resent her nor did she complain about it. She was very understanding about Ke'er's situation. Moreover, she grew up under the loving care of Li Fei, Feng Tian Wu, and even Huan'er.

"Father, mother, I met Ke'er…"

"How is Ke'er?" Li Rou asked anxiously. She did not dare to ask this question when everyone was around even though she was eager to find out about Ke'er's situation.

Duan Ru Feng held his wife's hand to comfort her as he said soothingly, "Calm down. Let our son tell us about it."

Duan Ling Tian recounted everything that happened to Ke'er, and after his parents listened to him, they fell silent.

After a moment, Duan Ru Feng asked, "So you're going to the Outer Boundary so you can grow stronger quickly and kill Yun Qing Yan who merged with a supreme powerhouse?"

Duan Ling Tian nodded.

Although Li Rou was worried about Duan Ling Tian's safety in the mysterious Outer Boundary, she did not try to dissuade him. After all, she knew it would be impossible to dissuade him, and she was also eager for him to save Ke'er. Although she treated Duan Ling Tian's other wife and partners equally, Ke'er was special to her. After all, Ke'er had been with her since Ke'er was a teenager. She only had one son, and she treated Ke'er like a daughter.

"Father, mother, rest assured… I've been doing well over the past thousand years, haven't I? I'll bring Ke'er back soon," Duan Ling Tian said reassuringly with a smile. He naturally knew that his parents were worried.

"Tian'er," Duan Ru Feng said with a sigh, "Be courteous when you meet the Clan Leader of the Xia clan. After all, he's your elder. Ke'er might have reincarnated, but her soul remains the same. She's still his daughter no matter what. Even if you disagree with his actions, as the clan leader, he has to prioritize the clan's interest."

Duan Ru Feng used to be the leader of a force in the mundane realm so he was naturally aware of the responsibilities and difficult decisions that came with being a figure of authority.

"I know, father," Duan Ling Tian said with a nod. He understood Xia Yu's responsibility as the Clan Leader of the Xia clan even if he disagreed with Xia Yu's actions. For this reason, he did not sever ties with Xia Yu and had only treated Xia Yu with alienation. If Ke'er was willing to forgive Xia Yu and hoped that he would treat Xia Yu as his father-in-law, he would naturally follow her wish. However, it was impossible for him to warm up to Xia Yu at the moment.

Duan Ling Tian continued chatting with his parents and also advised them regarding problems they encountered during their cultivation before he left. When he finally left their courtyard, a helpless and bitter smile appeared on his face.

'I didn't get the best outcome again; I didn't end up in the Outer Boundary. Instead, I ended up in the Cyclic World, one of the Worlds under the rule of the God Defying World.'

Duan Ling Tian had never heard of the Cyclic World prior to this so he knew nothing about it. This was not surprising since not many people in the God Defying World knew about the Cyclic World. Only supreme powerhouses in the God Defying World would know about the Cyclic World.

'I have three options now: return to the turbulent space and try my luck again, join a force here and use its Transportation Formation to go to the Outer Boundary, or stay and cultivate in the Cyclic World until I become an advanced Supreme God before I join a force and head to the Outer Boundary…'

There was no doubt that the third option was Duan Ling Tian's safest option. If he waited until he became an advanced Supreme God before going to the Outer Boundary, no one would be able to guess his identity easily since most people would assume he was still an intermediate Supreme God. However, if he joined a force now and displayed his strength, he might risk exposing his identity.

'Forget about the first option… I can't play with luck…' Duan Ling Tian thought to himself decisively. Previously, he was transported to the endless void countless times before he finally ended up in the Cyclic World. As such, he was not feeling very confident about his luck at the moment.

'The third option is the safest, but it'll take a long time…'
