The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3138 - 3133: Taking on Tasks_1

Previously, he had never considered the sheer complexity of the Taiyuan Star System or the vastness of the Ten Thousand Realms.

Reflecting on it now, he realized just how limited his perspective had been.

His curiosity regarding the true nature of the Ten Thousand Realms intensified. He wondered what specific roles the three titans—the Divine Night Sect, the Grand Abyss Palace, and Heavenly Melody Mountain—played within that endless expanse.

As these thoughts occupied his mind, Yang Chen began asking several questions. He needed a clear understanding of the situation before committing to the upcoming missions.

Having formed a favorable opinion of Yang Chen, Ji Yue Shuang did not mind indulging his curiosity.

"It is perfectly natural for Young Master Yang Chen to have such doubts. To put it simply, whenever a star realm outside the Taiyuan Star System encounters a crisis they cannot manage, they turn to the Divine Night Sect for assistance. However, because many powers are unaware of our sect's true depth, the majority usually seek help from the Grand Abyss Palace instead," Ji Yue Shuang explained.

Perplexed, Yang Chen asked, "Does this mean the human forces within the Ten Thousand Realms are in a state of disorder?"

Ji Yue Shuang let out a soft sigh. "Though it may sound cold or irresponsible, Young Master Yang Chen, the heavens are high and the emperor is far away. While our Divine Night Sect, the Grand Abyss Palace, and the Three Great Factions can maintain order in the Taiyuan Star System and neighboring realms, distant territories are difficult to govern, even if the Three Great Factions wished to intervene."

This caused Yang Chen to recall the Spiritual God Race’s assault on the Dragon Clan and the Netherworld’s invasion of the Lingnan Two Realms.

The reality matched her description perfectly.

"Even though humanity is the dominant force in the Universal Starry Sky, our control is not absolute. We cannot govern every corner of the cosmos. The Universal Starry Sky is home to countless unknowns and alien tribes. These foreign races, such as the Spiritual God Race, the Netherworld, and the Ruthless Beast Race, are restless and have always been hostile toward human growth," she continued.

Gritting her teeth in frustration, Ji Yue Shuang added, "These alien tribes and other minor races constantly stir up trouble, both openly and in secret, destabilizing the order of the Ten Thousand Realms. The star realms that suffer under them inevitably seek aid. For straightforward issues, the Grand Abyss Palace steps in to display their righteousness. However, the more grueling and complex problems are passed to our Divine Night Sect to handle."

Listening to these hidden truths of the Ten Thousand Realms, Yang Chen felt a surge of conflicting emotions.

It appeared that the perceived stability was merely a facade; the entire Universal Starry Sky was actually teeming with dangerous undercurrents.

"If the Divine Night Sect is burdened with all the difficult tasks, doesn't the sect feel it is being treated unfairly?" Yang Chen inquired.

"Even if we feel it is unfair, what can be done? Do not find it amusing, Young Master Yang Chen, but this system was established by our ancestors in ancient times. Back then, the Taiyuan Star System was the center of chaos, while the Ten Thousand Realms were relatively peaceful by comparison. At that time, the division of labor was considered fair. No one predicted that the chaos in the Ten Thousand Realms would grow so uncontrollable. As they say, 'those not of our kind have different hearts'; the foreign races simply refuse to remain peaceful. We cannot regret it now; the Divine Night Sect gave its word to uphold this duty, and we must honor it."

Yang Chen suppressed a secret laugh. It was no wonder Princess Wen Qi and Ji Yue Shuang spoke of the Grand Abyss Palace with such bitterness; the other faction claimed the easy glory while their own sect dealt with the hardships.

Still, these political grievances were separate from the merit of the individuals. He felt a sense of respect for the Divine Night Sect geniuses who risked their lives to preserve order across the Ten Thousand Realms.

While conversing, they arrived before a grand, imposing structure.

"This is Fenghua Hall. It is the primary destination for all requests and petitions coming from the Universal Starry Sky and the Ten Thousand Realms. Within these walls, powerful seniors of the Divine Night Sect categorize and distribute these tasks. Extremely urgent matters are even escalated to the higher-ups for special handling," Ji Yue Shuang detailed.

Yang Chen observed the bustling crowds and the numerous miraculous formation devices facilitating the work. The efficiency of the operation was an eye-opening sight.

"Sister Ji, what brings you here for a task today? I hope it's not like the last one; your uncle was nearly scared to death," a stout, round-faced cultivator remarked as he walked past, carrying a glowing blue formation device.

"You needn't worry, Senior Brother," Ji Yue Shuang replied with a soft smile.

She continued leading the way until they reached an elevated platform.

Two elders, one dressed in black and the other in white, stood guard there.

Judging by their auras, both had moved beyond the Heaven-separated Realm and achieved the Heaven-appointed Realm in their Cultivation.

Yang Chen was struck by the sheer power of the Divine Night Sect. Since entering Fenghua Hall, he had already encountered multiple experts at the Destiny Realm.

The stout man from earlier was also a Destiny Realm powerhouse. The reason he addressed Ji Yue Shuang as "Sister" was likely due to her master being Princess Wen Qi of the Heavenly Extreme Realm.

Such a lineage naturally granted her a higher intangible seniority.

"Sister Ji, you suffered quite a setback recently. Why didn't you rest longer before returning to Fenghua Hall? We warned you that the Spiritual God Race's royal family shouldn't be provoked without a full team. Even Sky-separating Realm experts hesitate before such missions, yet you insisted on going alone," the Black-Robed Elder said, his tone a mix of doting affection and mild reproach as he stroked his beard.

Ji Yue Shuang stuck out her tongue playfully. "I was simply too provoked at the time."

"Very well. This time, listen to your senior brothers. A new batch of requests just arrived from various realms that aren't too difficult. Choose something within your capabilities," the White-Robed Elder added sternly.

"Senior Brother Lu Zhen, Senior Brother Ye Li, you both have it wrong this time. I am not the one taking a task today," Ji Yue Shuang explained with a smirk. "This is Yang Chen. He has business with my Master. She has dictated that he must complete several sect tasks before she will agree to help him."

"Oh? Did Senior Uncle Wen Qi specify the difficulty level?" Lu Zhen asked, placing his hands behind his back.

"Three Class B Tasks!" Ji Yue Shuang announced with a grin.

Lu Zhen narrowed his eyes. "Sister Ji, be serious. You know as well as we do that even core disciples of our Divine Night Sect must prepare extensively before attempting Class B tasks at their level. Does this fellow Daoist truly possess the power to finish three of them?"

Ji Yue Shuang chuckled. "You don't need to worry about that, Senior Brothers. Why not let us see the new batch of tasks that just came in?"

Lu Zhen and Ye Li looked at each other and then produced several glowing spheres, no longer concerned about a stranger taking on the burden.
