Chapter 4143: The Legendary God of Creation

Liu Wu You did not understand what Duan Ling Tian meant by 'foreigner', but she was even more certain now that the person in front of her was not the You Wen Feng whom she knew. She was convinced that You Wen Feng had been possessed by someone who had the strength of an advanced Lord of Gods.

'It's only been a few days, but You Wen Feng has already grown so strong... I wonder what's the extent of his strength...' Liu Wu You wondered inwardly, shocked by 'You Wen Feng"s strength. She also could not help but wonder if 'You Wen Feng' was a Supreme God.

In any case, Liu Wu You no longer dared to treat Duan Ling Tian dismissively. She tried her best to answer Duan Ling Tian's question.

As such, it did not take long before Duan Ling Tian gained a certain understanding of this world.

This world had many Divine Kingdoms. Currently, Duan Ling Tian was at the South Heaven Continent. The South Heaven Continent had nine Divine Kingdoms, and Wu You City was located in one of the Divine Kingdoms.

Wu You City was one of 28 cities under the rule of the Divine Spirit Mansion. The cities were mostly governed by rudimentary Emperors of Gods, with a few exceptions who were intermediate Emperors of Gods.

Since time immemorial, the natives of this world knew that killing would be rewarded. However, the strong killing the weak would receive little to no rewards. As such, those who were weak had a higher chance of survival. Moreover, the strong needed the weak to carry out menial tasks. As such, the weak were mostly servants, maids, attendants, and laborers in this world.

The Divine Kingdom maintained order in the kingdom through the Mansions that governed the cities. Unlike City Governors who were mostly rudimentary Emperors of Gods, with the exception of a few intermediate Emperors of Gods, the Mansion Masters were all extraordinary advanced Emperors of Gods. As for the Lords of the Divine Kingdoms, they were all Supreme Gods, but Liu Wu You did not know the extent of their strength. In her mind, Supreme Gods were all strong and far beyond her reach.

"Due to the reward system, it's relatively safe in the cities, but it's extremely dangerous out in the world. The strong might disdain to kill the weak, but they're not above capturing and selling the weak. For example, as a rudimentary Emperor of Gods, I won't be rewarded for killing an advanced Lord of Gods under normal circumstances. However, I can sell him or her to another rudimentary, intermediate, or advanced Lord of Gods. In fact, I can even sell him or her to someone even weaker. With my help, the buyer would be able to kill a stronger person and earn rewards even if the rewards would not be as much compared to if they had killed the other party on their own."

After listening to Liu Wu You, Duan Ling Tian felt that this world was the perfect embodiment of 'the strong preying on the weak'. Due to the reward system, the natives of this world would strive continuously to kill those on par with them or stronger than them.

Duan Ling Tian did not ask about the rewards. He knew it was either going to enlightenment and insights into certain laws, energy that could boost one's cultivation, or a drop of Divine Energy from a supreme powerhouse.

A drop of Divine Energy from a supreme powerhouse could temporarily boost one's Divine Energy to another level. It would not affect one's comprehension of the law or the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth. Although the effect was temporary, it was still very useful during a battle. With a drop of Divine Energy from a supreme powerhouse, a weaker opponent might be able to kill the stronger opponent. The drop of Divine Energy could also boost the Divine Energy of an advanced Supreme God, but it would not improve to the level of a supreme powerhouse. Even then, it would be enough to make the advanced Supreme God superior to most advanced Supreme Gods.

'This world where the strong prey on the weak is really vicious...'

Although the world outside of the Trial of Gods was also one where the strong preyed on the weak, it was nothing like this world. After all, the natives in this world were constantly spurred to kill due to the reward system. With the rewards, there was no need to search for fortuitous encounters. The rewards were a means to grow stronger, which meant that it was necessary to kill.

The world outside of the Trial of Gods was completely different. After all, there was no reward system. Moreover, under normal circumstances, even if one killed another person, one would not even gain the other party's possession since most people kept their possessions in self-destructive spatial rings.

Duan Ling Tian thought to himself, 'The reward system here should be similar to that in the Inner Palace faction's Supreme Powerhouse Relic...'

"My lord, do you have any other questions?" Liu Wu You asked as she looked at Duan Ling Tian fearfully. A trace of complexity could be seen in the depth of her eyes. She felt as though karma had found her. She was not afraid to meet the gaze of the man who used to be afraid to meet her gaze.

Duan Ling Tian asked again, "What about the Uncharted Treasure Land? Are there many places with Uncharted Treasure Lands in the Southern Heaven Continent?"

Liu Wu You shook her head. "I'm not sure about this. Normally, those who discovered it will definitely keep it a secret. I only heard that even the strongest advanced Supreme Gods in the Divine Kingdoms can't create an Uncharted Treasure Land. It's said that the lands are a natural creation of heaven and earth."

Upon hearing these words, Duan Ling Tian was rendered speechless by Liu Wu You's ignorance. It seemed like it was true that the people here did not know that supreme powerhouses created this place and were also unaware of the existence of supreme powerhouses.

'It's really realistic... The illusions here really have their own thoughts and autonomy. The supreme powerhouses are truly strong. No wonder Third Senior Brother said that even the weakest supreme powerhouse can kill the strongest advanced Supreme God with just a flick of a finger. Supreme powerhouses are truly in a league of their own,' Duan Ling Tian marveled inwardly.

To verify his speculation, Duan Ling Tian asked, "Do you know about supreme powerhouses?"

Liu Wu You shook her head in confusion. "Supreme powerhouses? What is that? I've never heard of it before."

"Then, do you know what existence is above Supreme Gods?" Duan Ling Tian asked again.

"The existence above Supreme Gods?" Liu Wu You was stunned. Then, her eyes lit up as she said, "Legend has it that the God of Creation is above the Supreme Gods. The Uncharted Treasure Land is said to be left behind by the God of Creation. The God of Creation is the ultimate existence between heaven and earth. The God of Creation might not be a living being, but a sort of law that exists in this world. Even the reward system is created by the God of Creation. I don't know about the others, but I believe in the legend!"

Duan Ling Tian was rendered speechless by Liu Wu You's words. Nonetheless, she was, in essence, correct. The world was created by not one but a few supreme powerhouses. In her words, this world was created by a few Gods of Creation. It was also true that the Uncharted Treasure Lands and the reward system were created by the 'Gods of Creation'.

'Supreme powerhouse? God of Creation? It's the same thing with different names...'

After listening to Liu Wu You, Duan Ling Tian also found that the living beings here had no confirmation that the God of Creation existed or not, unlike the people outside the Trial of Gods who knew about the existence of supreme powerhouses. The God of Creation was just a legend here, and no one had seen the God of Creation before.

After gaining the information he needed, Duan Ling Tian did not intend to stay any longer. Although he was tempted to find out what kind of rewards he would receive by killing Liu Wu You and if the rewards would be similar to those in the Inner Palace faction's Supreme Powerhouse Relic, he felt that it was inappropriate to kill her. Although this world and the beings in it were just illusions conjured by supreme powerhouses, he felt it was unethical to kill when there was no enmity between them. He had his own principles, after all.

Finally, Duan Ling Tian nodded at Liu Wu You and said, "Farewell, City Governor Wu You."

Then, Duan Ling Tian vanished from sight, easily bypassing the Formation protecting the inner courtyard.

The Formation was laid by an expert from the Spiritual Heaven Continent and could easily deter a rudimentary Emperor of Gods from leaving. When it was triggered, it could even stop intermediate Emperors of Gods from leaving easily.

As such, Liu Wu You was further shocked.

'His strength is comparable to an intermediate Emperor of Gods?' Liu Wu You thought to herself. Her expression changed as she shuddered inwardly. At the same time, she was relieved that she did not resist and cooperated with Duan Ling Tian. If she had provoked him, there was no doubt that she would have died.

'A foreigner? He's not familiar with our Divine Kingdoms as well... Is he not from the South Heaven Continent? After all, the Southern Heaven Continent isn't the only continent...'

...

Duan Ling Tian was naturally unaware of and uninterested in Liu Wu You's thoughts. Moreover, he did not care if his identity was exposed. After all, the greatest threat to him was not the natives of the world, but the other top young prodigies from the various heavyweight supreme-rank forces who had entered the Trial of Gods with him. The fortuitous encounters in this world were limited, and only the fortunate and the strong would be able to obtain them.

'Wu You City...'

When Duan Ling Tian was outside of Wu You City, he turned back to have a final look at the city. The city's size was average, and its strongest powerhouse was just a rudimentary Emperor of Gods. There was absolutely no point in him staying in such a place.
