A sense of immense pride radiated from the many Qingyun Sect cultivators as they spoke.
There was no doubt that the Heaven Court currently possessed the might of a worldly despotic empire, commanding absolute and overwhelming power.
With a single decree, every immortal under heaven was bound to obey.
“The Heaven Court has evolved with a speed and ferocity that far exceeds anything I imagined.”
The Executioner Immortal King found himself momentarily at a loss for words.
In the past, while the Heaven Court functioned as an administrative body for the Human clan, its governance was largely restricted to the Central Immortal Domain.
The other vast states of the Human clan remained essentially beyond its reach.
With the mountains being high and the emperor residing far away, the influence of the Heaven Court was severely limited back then.
It had functioned more like a loose parliamentary organization where various feudal lords remained in constant conflict, each acting independently.
Now, however, the Heaven Court had transformed into an absolute dictatorship, consolidating all authority into its hands.
Utilizing the power of the Dream Realm, its dominion now reached beyond major states, penetrating every city and even the smallest villages.
To put it simply, even the very air within the Immortal World now fell under the Heaven Court's jurisdiction.
This total control was entirely due to the advancement of the divine hierarchy system.
It was precisely because of these invincible divine beings that the Heaven Court could govern the Immortal World with such precision.
Any local occurrence could be reported to the Heaven Court instantly.
Should a rebellion spark in some corner, these divine beings could suppress it in the blink of an eye.
Essentially, every path to insurrection had been blocked.
Consequently, the Immortal World had grown increasingly stable and peaceful over the years.
The contrast between the present and the past was as stark as day and night.
“If that is true, does it mean that Human divine beings are stationed in places like the Demon Clan territories as well?”
The Executioner Immortal King asked with curiosity.
He found it natural for the Heaven Court to cover the Human Territory, as it was fundamentally a court for the Human clan.
However, regions controlled by the Demon clan and other races were far more complicated.
The cultivators of those alien clans were notoriously rebellious by nature.
Forcing them to submit to the Heaven Court’s rule was surely no simple task.
Outbreaks of resistance could happen at any moment.
The Heaven Court would have to expend massive effort just to quelch those fires, leaving little room to deal with the Dark Clan.
“That has not been an issue at all.”
“Naturally, when the Heaven Court’s divine beings first entered those alien lands, there was some initial friction.”
“Yet, they never displayed significant resistance.”
“In time, they too began to abide by the Heaven Court’s regulations.”
“Furthermore, the path to becoming a divine being is not exclusive to our Human clan; alien races can achieve divinity as well.”
“We are currently living in an era where all clans coexist,” Li Changchun explained in a heavy tone.
He also found the situation quite peculiar.
He had originally assumed that ruling over other clans would be a monumental struggle for the Heaven Court.
One wrong move could have sparked a massive backlash from the various races.
Yet, the process had been smoother than anyone could have anticipated.
Whenever the Heaven Court established itself in their cities, the alien immortals offered no resistance.
Everything seemed to fall into place effortlessly.
Of course, this seamless transition was largely due to the influence of the Dream Soul Gu and the Dream Realm.
The Dream Soul Gu possessed the ability to rewrite the memories of cultivators from different races, hypnotizing them into accepting the Heaven Court’s authority.
Zhou Sui simply did not have the time to go around suppressing rebellions everywhere.
To avoid such headaches, he used the power of the Dream Soul Gu to place all alien cultivators under hypnosis.
Just as Zhou Sui had planned, the Heaven Court successfully brought the various clans to heel.
By the time the system was fully rooted, the immortals of every race had become accustomed to living within it.
When any alien immortal finally felt like protesting, the opportunity had already passed.
The divine hierarchy system had spread across the Immortal World like a massive web, touching every corner of the land.
Only Zhou Sui was aware of this secret; it was impossible for other immortals to know the truth.
They merely perceived the smooth progress as a sign of protection from the Heavenly Dao.
Since the system provided immense benefits to all immortals, no one was inclined to reject it.
“The methods employed by the Xuan Huang Immortal King are truly remarkable.”
“He is not only a powerhouse in battle but also a master of governance.”
The Executioner Immortal King viewed the Xuan Huang Immortal King as the ideal leader—mighty in combat, impartial in justice, and capable of maintaining order within the Heaven Court while earning the love of the masses.
It was rare for an Immortal King who excelled in fighting to also be skilled in administration.
The Executioner Immortal King knew his own limits; he was no good at managing a Sect or the Heaven Court.
He saw himself as a mere warrior who used slaughter to intimidate others.
Such an approach often backfired, intensifying conflicts rather than resolving them.
Thus, his admiration for an Immortal King with such management skills was profound.
To have such a leader was a massive blessing for the Human clan.
“However, Executioner Immortal King, the benefits of the divine hierarchy system aren't just internal.”
“The Great Fortune skill possesses power that extends far beyond that.”
“It also serves as a massive restraint against the power of Eternal Night.”
“This is why the various clans of the Immortal World are working so tirelessly to grow their populations and increase their clan fortune.”
Li Changchun offered a faint smile.
“What are you saying? Can this Immortal Technique actually oppose Eternal Night?”
The Executioner Immortal King was stunned by this revelation.
He had thought the divine hierarchy system was simply a tool to unite the Immortal World's clans, and nothing more.
After all, Eternal Night remained the true existential threat to all races.
If there was no way to stop Eternal Night, even the most magnificent civilization would eventually be wiped out.
In previous cosmic cycles, many glorious civilizations had risen, only to fall into ruin the moment Eternal Night awakened.
He had always believed that collective strength was secondary to individual power.
Only if an Immortal King’s Cultivation could transcend all things could the apocalypse truly be halted.
Otherwise, everything built was merely a castle in the sky.
Yet now, he was told the Great Fortune skill could actually counter Eternal Night—it was mind-boggling.
“It is true. The Great Fortune skill can harvest the fortune of all living beings to create the Flame of Hope.”
“This unique flame, born from the beings of the Immortal World, can pierce through any darkness and break any curse.”
“By igniting the Flame of Hope in the frontier cities, the power of Eternal Night can be driven back.”
“This creates a realm of daylight where all clans can safely live,” Li Changchun explained.
“Indeed, thanks to the Flame of Hope, our clans have been able to push back the shadows and cleanse the corruption of Eternal Night.”
“Over the last billion years, our frontier cities have grown ten thousand times larger than they once were.”
“We have reclaimed lost lands and expanded the territory where our people can survive.”
“If we keep this up, we might eventually take back everything that Eternal Night stole.”
Many Qingyun Sect cultivators spoke with visible excitement.
“Does such a miracle truly exist?”
The Executioner Immortal King felt a wave of shock crash over him.
Neither in this era nor the one before had there been a power capable of pushing back Eternal Night.
The Immortal World had always been slowly consumed, its living space shrinking year after year.
It had seemed as though the future held no room for the various clans to survive, and no hope of victory existed.
But now, the Flame of Hope had appeared as a countermeasure.
Like a sun, the Flame of Hope banished the infinite shadows and drove away all evil.
So long as that flame flickered, the darkness could not take hold.
If the flame continued to spread, it would eventually restore all the lost lands of the Immortal World.
This was the ultimate dream of every clan.
In a way, it was nothing short of a miracle—a miracle that had been waiting for ages to be born.
