With Li Chunjun having already connected with Harvest Supreme, Feng Yu and the others were able to settle smoothly in the Great World of the Gods.
Shortly after Li Chunjun arranged a meeting with the Hall Master of the False God Hall through Harvest Supreme, Xuan Jian, a Quasi-Tenth-Tier Xuan Jian from the War Commission, arrived at Li Chunjun's pillar of god, where he was cultivating in seclusion.
"Dao Venerable Li," Xuan Jian greeted respectfully.
The Quasi-Tenth-Tier Xuan Jian swiftly reported every detail of the war in the Great World of the Gods to Li Chunjun.
This included not only the internal conflicts within the Great World but also the war situations in the surrounding Realm Regions and Lesser Thousand Worlds, all presented in a clear and concise manner.
Even though Li Chunjun had entrusted many critical positions to members of the Profound Yellow Sect during the war, their efficiency in securing the Great World of the Gods still couldn't match that of the War Commission.
"In addition to the Great World of the Gods, the Great Worlds occupied by the Demonic Race and the Myriad Transformations Race have also been added to our conquest plans. Of course, should we successfully conquer these two Great Worlds in the future, Dao Venerable Li's monumental contribution in annihilating the Ninth-Tier and Quasi-Tenth-Tier forces of both races will be duly recognized. We will transfer ownership of these two Great Worlds to Dao Venerable Li, with the War Commission only requiring the establishment of basic administrative offices."
Xuan Jian replied respectfully.
"There's no need to transfer those two worlds to me. Having the Great World of the Gods as my foundation is more than enough," Li Chunjun replied.
"I understand," Li Chunjun said.
He knew this was the War Commission's way of showing goodwill.
However, compared to simply occupying these two Great Worlds, he had a different need from the War Commission.
"If the War Commission truly feels guilty about occupying these two Great Worlds, they could provide me with information on other foreign race Great Worlds," Li Chunjun suggested. "List every foreign race, no matter how far their territories are from Human Territory. The more, the better."
"Information on foreign race Great Worlds?" Xuan Jian asked, slightly surprised by Li Chunjun's request.
"Exactly," Li Chunjun nodded. "My birthplace, the Azure Star Minor Realm, was plagued by the Divine Race from my youth. I understand firsthand the threat foreign races pose to the Human Race. That's why, as soon as I had the power, my first act was to wage war against the Great World of the Gods and completely eradicate that foreign race, which had brought tens of millions of years of suffering to the Profound Yellow Great World."
He continued, his expression impassive, "Although the Profound Yellow Great World's enemies have been vanquished, I believe many Human Great Worlds bordering foreign races still languish in dire straits. Therefore, since I have the means, I feel it is my duty to liberate the people of these worlds from the threat of war with foreign races."
Xuan Jian was momentarily at a loss for words in response to this declaration.
Though not a Human Dao Harmonization Expert and thus unable to access the Human Race's most confidential information, as the supreme commander of the war between the Profound Yellow Great World and the Great World of the Gods, Xuan Jian understood to some extent that the Human Race wasn't incapable of annihilating the foreign races surrounding their territory. Rather, the continued existence of these foreign races served a purpose.
Now, Li Chunjun's request...
Sounded perfectly reasonable.
Yet defied common sense.
"What's wrong?" Li Chunjun asked.
"Nothing, nothing at all," Xuan Jian hurriedly replied. "If Dao Venerable Li requires it, I'll immediately apply to the War Commission to have all data on the surrounding foreign race great worlds delivered to you."
"Then we'll wait for the War Commission to send the information," Li Chunjun said calmly. "If the request isn't too detailed, I imagine many factions could provide it. I hope the War Commission won't keep us waiting too long."
"Understood. I'll consult the rotating commissioner immediately," Xuan Jian said, bowing deeply.
Li Chunjun waved his hand dismissively.
Xuan Jian wisely retreated.
After Xuan Jian left, Li Chunjun summoned Huang Daozhen, Sect Leader of the Profound Yellow Sect, and Qian Yuan, Sect Master of the Taixu Sword Sect.
When the two reappeared before Li Chunjun, they displayed utmost reverence.
Even Huang Daozhen, who had been chatting and laughing with Li Chunjun just moments before, now swiftly clarified his position.
"The Great World of the Gods could theoretically be entrusted to the Profound Yellow Sect for development," Li Chunjun said. "However, relying solely on their strength to restore the Great World's Primal Qi would be a daunting task. Therefore, I will allow the Taixu Sword Sect to establish a Branch Sect there as well."
Qian Yuan's face lit up with joy at these words.
Although the Taixu Sword Sect had long considered themselves the local power in the Profound Yellow Great World, their position had grown increasingly precarious in recent years.
Li Chunjun's willingness to let them establish a Branch Sect in the Great World of the Gods not only provided the Taixu Sword Sect with greater room for growth but also secured a fallback plan for their sect.
"Thank you for your benevolence, Dao Venerable Li," Qian Yuan said.
"There's no need for thanks yet," Li Chunjun replied bluntly. "Allowing the Taixu Sword Sect to enter is merely to prevent the Profound Yellow Sect from becoming complacent and ultimately declining due to a lack of competition."
At his level of authority, Li Chunjun no longer needed to mince words when addressing Supreme Sages like Huang Daozhen and Qian Yuan.
As if struck by a sudden thought, he added, "Furthermore, I will also introduce the Immortal God Race to ensure the Great World of the Gods maintains a diverse internal power structure. The three sides can jointly develop the Great World."
"The Profound Yellow Sect will follow all instructions from the Supreme Elder," Huang Daozhen replied without hesitation.
Having gained ownership of one-third of a Great World for free, Sect Leader Huang Daozhen naturally had no complaints whatsoever.
Moreover, what the Supreme Elder had said was true.
The Profound Yellow Sect's foundation was far too weak. Even if given a Great World, they couldn't develop it effectively in a short period.
Only by collaborating with the Taixu Sword Sect and the Immortal God Race could they maximize profits in the near term.
Next, Li Chunjun elaborated on the development plan for the Profound Yellow Great World.
The Great World of the Gods was now in ruins, awaiting reconstruction.
The fall of hundreds of Ninth-Tier experts had left a massive power vacuum and resource surplus. At this critical juncture, both the Profound Yellow Sect and the Taixu Sword Sect could recruit talent without restraint.
Without concerns about resource competition or internal strife, they could focus entirely on development.
After briefly outlining the future direction of the Great World of the Gods, Huang Daozhen and Qian Yuan exchanged glances and declared in unison, "The Divine Race has been annihilated. It is no longer appropriate for this Great World to bear the name 'Great World of the Gods.' Moreover, this Great World was conquered single-handedly by Dao Venerable Li. It should rightfully honor Dao Venerable Li as its supreme authority and be renamed by him."
With that, they bowed deeply, cupping their hands in salute. "We humbly request Dao Venerable Li to rename this Great World and grant it a new beginning."
"Rename it..."
Indeed, the individual with the highest contribution points in conquering a Great World from a foreign race had the authority to rename it.
This was a supreme honor for such a powerful being.
Of course, if a peerless genius were to emerge from this Great World in the future, they too would have the right to rename it.
The Profound Yellow Great World served as the perfect example.
Originally, this Great World wasn't called the Profound Yellow Great World. It was only after the birth of the Profound Yellow Supreme, a being second only to the Ultimate Powerhouses, that it earned the title "Profound Yellow."
However, as the progenitor divine being, Li Chunjun's chances of being surpassed were exceedingly slim.
Once named, this name would likely endure in the Cosmic Void for hundreds of millions, billions, or even tens of billions of years.
Li Chunjun himself didn't place particular importance on naming the world, as even he couldn't foresee the path his future would take.
Yet even a being as mighty as the Dao Venerable couldn't resist such glory.
To avoid standing out...
"Let's name it 'Void'," Li Chunjun said. "The Void Great World."
"Void?"
Huang Daozhen and Qian Yuan, both Supreme Sages, lacked the insight to grasp that Li Chunjun was the progenitor divine being who had pioneered the Destruction Dao.
Though they found the name "Void Great World" somewhat peculiar, since Li Chunjun had chosen it, what was there to argue?
As long as Dao Venerable Li was pleased, that was all that mattered.
"Void Great World—what a magnificent name! It immediately evokes a sense of extraordinary power!"
"I'll submit the application to the Immortal Alliance right away. From this day forward, there will be no more Great World of the Gods, only the Void Great World."
The two disciples quickly agreed.
After they left, he meticulously arranged the various Dao Pills brought by Jin Huaiyu, Feng Yu, and others, and consumed them one by one.
As his Life Level reached 45, the profound mysteries of the great daos began to merge with him in rapid succession.
Had his soul already achieved perfection, eliminating the grave risk of dao transformation, the sheer number of great daos he now commanded would have resembled a garden of alluring maidens, each vying for his attention. He could have chosen any one at will.
Now, as he continued his cultivation with the Dao Pills...
Though he still couldn't achieve true union with the Dao and ascend to the realm of Dao Venerable, the great daos grew increasingly fervent in their pursuit of him.
It was akin to a maiden, meticulously adorned, coming to his door to bare her heart.
Under these circumstances, his mastery of these great daos naturally advanced at an astonishing pace.
Originally, he had estimated it would take decades to perfect the laws of the Void and Destruction Daos.
But now, having already perfected several other laws, and with these laws now interfering with each other...
Just as a girl who believes she has achieved true love with Li Chunjun might actively drive away other alluring women who approach him, even so, the diverse and captivating great daos continued to flock to him relentlessly, drawn by his extraordinary charm.
After all, as long as he remained short of dao unification, every other great dao still held hope.
And even if he achieved dao unification...
Hadn't Supreme Sovereigns already been able to unify more than three great daos?
The Ultimate Powerhouses could even unify nine great daos.
With Li Chunjun's Life Level of 45, unifying over thirty great daos wouldn't be excessive.
Thus, he rapidly perfected these laws, mastering a new Law Mystery almost every year.
Though the increasing number of cultivated laws inevitably caused interference, over five years, he still managed to master four additional perfected laws.
Adding these to the original fourteen, the five gained during three years of secluded cultivation, and the four newly acquired ones, Li Chunjun now controlled twenty-three perfected laws.
These twenty-three laws weren't mere theoretical understanding or insights, nor were they divine abilities that could only be manifested through the Source of Time. Instead, they were laws he had genuinely cultivated to the brink of the Dao of Separation and Union, just a step away from dao unification.
If given the corresponding Immortal Artifacts, his mastery of these twenty-three great daos would rival that of a newly ascended Dao Venerable.
Though only at the level of a newly ascended Dao Venerable, the sheer number of great daos he controlled was overwhelming.
If Li Chunjun were given twenty-three corresponding Immortal Artifacts, he could crush even an Ultimate Powerhouse to death.
It seems that when dealing with the Dao Venerables next, rushing to pull them into the void isn't the only option. Refining them into Immortal Artifacts might be a better choice, Li Chunjun mused.
After five years of secluded cultivation, during which his mastery of the great dao laws grew increasingly profound, Harvest Supreme finally brought good news.
Hall Master Gui Ling of the False God Hall had agreed to communicate with him, discussing a potential trade: the great dao of the soul for the void great dao.
