Chapter 727 -729: Becoming a God, The Top Priority
…
The “sea changes into mulberry fields” transformation brought on by the Time Waves.
The night also began to encroach upon the entire Supreme Court.
Aside from the creatures still dwelling there, everything in the Supreme Court had changed. For many, the mountains and forests in front of their homes had become foreign, not to mention the towering mountains, vast forests, and seldom-visited places that had become even more dangerous.
The creatures of the dark night have always been the greatest disaster. Every evening, as the dusk descends, a fear from deep within the heart surges in everyone, regardless of whether they are in heavily guarded areas or formidable Mountain Sects. Everyone from the common people, the elderly, women, and children, to the cultivators in the King-Level Realm and the Holy Spirits in the wilderness suffered from the harassment of dark creatures.
“These nocturnal creatures rarely engage in mass slaughter. Instead, they choose specific targets every night for their persecution. They ensure the population of beings remain, while vastly tormenting creatures of all races… I suggest that Zhu Gate must relocate to Ancestral Dragon City as much as possible. A city of tranquility is crucial, or else no one can know who will fall victim to a tragic demise by the next dawn,” Zhu Minglang said to Zhu Heavenly Officer.
...
Without divine protection, the prosperity of Imperial City is meaningless. The entire Supreme Court will be tormented by the creatures of darkness every day and night, which is inevitable. The people of the Supreme Court also need to learn how to avoid the dark hunts like those in the Tianshu God Domain, finding a peaceful haven for protection.
“In that case, many countries, city-states, and cities will be rendered useless, and the Supreme Court will have to revert to a more primitive state, with the majority of people becoming displaced…” Zhu Heavenly Officer sighed softly.
Cultivation may be useful, but dark creatures are deceptive, cunning, and highly intelligent. Most of the time, it’s a battle of wits, and choosing to fight head-on is not very wise.
“This migration might be extremely difficult, but there’s no other way. We need to adapt to this peculiar ‘climate’ of Tianshu,” Zhu Minglang said.
Tianshu is still considered to have favorable weather, and rich in spiritual energy. As long as the darkness can be overcome, it will not take long for the prosperity level of the Supreme Court’s world to recover, and it will quickly surpass what the Supreme Court had not been able to achieve in thousands of years.

“I understand. I’ll handle these matters, and you just focus on becoming a True God. Without a god’s protection, the Supreme Court will ultimately be a forsaken land, with a hellish level of difficulty for survival!” Zhu Heavenly Officer said.
It had not been easy to develop Zhu Gate to this extent, and yet everything seemed to be starting over from the beginning.
But fighting against fate is pointless; more often than not, one should adapt and comply.
Life had become difficult and dangerous, but it was better than being domesticated livestock under the control of some malicious deities.
“It seems that even Imperial City will struggle to survive. Although Dragon Country has been greatly damaged this time, it still has some foundations left. Master Zhu, I want to move Dragon Country to Ancestral Dragon City as well. I wonder what your intentions are…” Prince Zhao Chang came over to discuss the survival strategy for those without the protection of deities in the Supreme Court.
“That’s entirely possible. Dragon Country has been gracious to our entire Imperial Dynasty. Such an auspicious nation, we Zhu Gate are willing to provide for it properly!” Zhu Heavenly Officer nodded.
“Thank you, Master Zhu, for not holding grudges against the past,” Zhao Chang breathed a sigh of relief.
“We are now all a group of nomads with no place to call home, so there’s no need to dwell on the past or to bear grudges. Surviving well and ensuring the safety of those around us is enough,” Zhu Heavenly Officer said.
Even the once-proud elites must choose to wander in light of these environmental changes.
Rather than fearing the unknown risks, it’s better to take action early, as everyone knows the outcome of sitting idly by.
The future is uncertain, but another era for the Supreme Court has begun.
…
Zhu Minglang and the others did not stay long in the Imperial City, returning instead to Ancestral Dragon City-State.
Just as the Zhu Heavenly Officer had said, what Zhu Minglang needed to do next was to figure out how to become a True God.
Without a True God, the descendants of the Supreme Court would suffer the torment of eternal night, live under the plundering and trampling of those lower god races, and amidst the fear and humiliation of encroaching darkness…
“Brother Zhu, Supreme Court certainly should have more than just one Divine Chosen,” Mi Rong said earnestly.
“There must be something special about Supreme Court; otherwise, World Dragon Gate wouldn’t have been born here. There are probably crouching tigers and hidden dragons, it’s just that those special beings do not pay much attention to their subjects. That’s why it is up to your Zhu Gate to take up this great responsibility,” Mr. Jinli said.
Having reliance breeds complacency, and they only care about their own interests, such as Miao Kingdom and Miao Mountain Sword Sect.
The Godly Mortal Academy also seemed to have a protector, but the specifics of this entity are equally unknown.
The Royal Family was led into an abyss by Zhao Yuan, and Zhu Gate emerged victorious in this struggle, naturally shouldering the fate of all the “unsheltered” living beings in Supreme Court.
Fortunately, there was Prince Zhao Chang, who at least represented the Royal Family and commanded a certain prestige throughout the Supreme Court Court Empire.
Zhu Gate did not aim for the highest position but supported Prince Zhao Chang mainly, so he could take on the role of Emperor and lead Supreme Court in search of new life…
Of course, without divine shelter and lower god organizations, Supreme Court was actually in a state of disintegration.
With the Royal Family and the Emperor existing in name only, without any real prestige, the various countries, powers, and gentry of Supreme Court would gradually pledge allegiance to those invading lower god organizations, becoming their vassals.
Those without a choice would probably follow the Royal Family and Zhu Gate, and of course, a large number of people would be swept away in this world-shaking upheaval.
…
“With just Bai Qi as a lone Dragon God, it would still be difficult to survive in World Dragon Gate, I suggest we travel through the Tianshu God Domain to allow Heavenly Slaughter Dragon to reach the quasi-Dragon God standard as well, and the Sword Spirit Dragon also has the potential to become a Sword Immortal Dragon. Only if all three dragons attain a divine level will our journey through World Dragon Gate be secure,” Mr. Jinli said to Zhu Minglang.
“What exactly is inside the World Dragon Gate?” Zhu Minglang asked.
“I don’t remember, but the threshold for entry is demi-god status, so the danger is certain,” Mr. Jinli replied.
Zhu Minglang thought of the Mysterious Ancient Giant and also of the previous generation Sparrow Wolf God who perished within the World Dragon Gate…
That is to say, the perils within World Dragon Gate were such that even gods could not ensure their own safety!
Zhu Minglang was quite in agreement with Mr. Jinli’s suggestion.
Bai Qi was undergoing advancement and like before, would likely sleep for a short period of time…
Actually, Bai Qi had no choice but to sleep, for Zhu Minglang presently had no Dragon Food capable of sustaining a Dragon God. Zhu Minglang also needed time to search for Dragon God’s Food; otherwise, Bai Qi might become the first White Dragon God in history to starve to death.
