I Am Really Not The Son of Providence-Chapter 467: I Am Not Worthy Of The Position Of The Sacred Leader!

Zhang Yunxi was quietly lying in Shen Tian’s arms, enjoying his unique warmth.

However, at this moment, Wang Shenxu walked out and said, “Brother Shen, you can’t favor one over the other. You can’t hug the Divine Firmament Saintess just because she’s pretty.

“I also want a hug!

“Why don’t the three of us hug together?”

With that, Wang Shenxu opened his arms and walked toward Shen Tian.

“Get lost!”

“Get lost!”

Shen Tian and Zhang Yunxi grumpily complained. “This guy really doesn’t stop no matter where he goes.”

“Alright!”

Wang Shenxu retreated awkwardly. He was just joking.

After the commotion caused by Wang Shenxu, Zhang Yunxi also reacted. She slowly rose from Shen Tian’s embrace, her face flushed.

However, Zhang Yunxi gnashed her teeth and snorted inwardly.

It is all this brat’s fault for ruining the good atmosphere. If not, I could have stayed in Junior Brother’s arms a little longer.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got!

Zhang Yunxi glared fiercely at Wang Shenxu and said, “Old Wang, you look good today, huh? I think your cultivation has improved. I’ll spar with you today!”

With that said, endless Geng Jin Divine Lightning erupted from Zhang Yunxi’s body as she aggressively walked toward Wang Shenxu.

Everyone’s lips twitched.

How could the current Wang Shenxu look good? He was filled with white hair and looked extremely weak.

No one dared to speak up for Wang Shenxu, however.

Zhang Yunxi was currently in a fit of anger. If they provoked her, they would suffer too!

Everyone silently turned around and began to pray to the King God.

Old Wang, why did you have to provoke this lady?

You better pray for your own luck and hope that you can walk out well!

...

The corners of Wang Shenxu’s mouth twitched violently, and he was dumbstruck.

???

Big Sis, are you being reasonable?

If you want to beat me up, at least find a better reason!

Who would bully others so openly!?

Wang Shenxu’s heart was filled with bitterness. Only now did he understand a principle—women were not to be messed with!

Especially tigresses, they were not to be trifled with!

“Big Sis, I was wrong, Big Sis!

“Just treat me, Old Wang, like a fart!”

Wang Shenxu quickly begged for mercy. In his current state, he could not withstand Zhang Yunxi’s hammer blows.

“Are you teaching me how to do things?”

Zhang Yunxi gave a cold harrumph and controlled the Mixed Divine Lightning to attack Wang Shenxu.

Wang Shenxu screamed, “No! Brother Shen, save me!”

He immediately ran and dodged the attacks by jumping up and down.

Zhang Yunxi did not intend to let him off so easily. She controlled the endless divine lightning to chase after his butt!

For a time, this place was in chaos, with miserable cries echoing endlessly.

...

After the two of them kicked up a fuss, the atmosphere became more relaxed.

Shen Tian looked around and found that most people were familiar faces.

They were all top geniuses from the Eastern Wilderness 180 years ago.

The auras of everyone surged and had become vast and unfathomable. Obviously, most of them had successfully overcome the tribulation to become Sages.

Shen Tian couldn’t help but sigh when he saw this. “Looks like everyone has been working very hard for the past 180 years!”

To be able to successfully transcend the tribulation and become a Sage at the age of 200, they could all be considered peerless geniuses.

Throughout the ages, very few people were able to attain this level.

“It’s all thanks to Brother Shen!”

Everyone smiled and cupped their hands respectfully.

Most of these peak geniuses were on good terms with Shen Tian and were given the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill.

Their physique, talent, and perception had increased tremendously because of that.

In addition, because this was the era of calamity, the heavens and earth were full of Spirit Qi, and the natural laws had become closer to everyone.

Everyone quickly refined most of the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill, and their cultivation levels soared.

As for those elites who had never taken the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill, they had also received some form of benefits from Shen Tian.

Because of the great calamity, the forces of the five regions had become tense, and they wanted to create experts as soon as possible.

Thus, all the cultivation wonderlands in the five regions were opened up to the public for the five regions’ genius trials.

Among them, the most famous training ground was the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground’s God of War Pagoda!

This pagoda was from the Celestial World, and it was ancient and profound. It contained boundless inheritances, and it was a prime place for geniuses to train.

In the God of War Pagoda, they could fight against the projection of the Celestial World paragons.

They were also able to experience the bearing of experts from different eras and comprehend the inheritance secret techniques from the Celestial World.

However, the price of the God of War Pagoda was too high, and many people didn’t plan their finances sufficiently.

These elites were on good terms with Shen Tian, and the God of War Pagoda lowered its restrictions on them, greatly reducing their fees.

As a result, they could freely compete with the projections of the Celestial World prodigies in the God of War Pagoda.

180 years was enough for everyone to fully mature. Moreover, their combat strength was outstanding, far surpassing their peers.

For example, the Bodhisattva of the Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground, Kuduo.

He had once fought against the Celestial World paragons and attained enlightenment in the Bodhi Buddhist Scripture overnight, instantly becoming a Bodhisattva.

Although Kuduo had never consumed the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill, he was not much weaker than the four Divine Firmament prodigies.

His cultivation had reached the peak of a Three Tribulation Sage.

Given Kuduo’s battle strength combined with the supreme Bodhi Buddhist Scripture, he could put up a fight even against an ordinary Five Tribulation True Sage.

There was also the Big Dipper Saint, Chen Zhongtian. He had been originally ranked fourth on the Eastern Wilderness’ Golden Core Rankings and could be considered a peak paragon!

Chen Zhongtian had antagonized Shen Tian in the past, causing his Nascent Soul to crack and his origin to be injured. This had caused his cultivation to plummet.

His entire body had almost been crippled, and many rising talented fellows surpassed him.

In the end, Chen Zhongtian had chosen to follow Qi Shaoxuan’s example and befriend Shen Tian.

He had also enjoyed the benefits of the God of War Pagoda and used it to break through to become a Sage.

Thus, everyone was very grateful to Shen Tian.

...

Shen Tian smiled. “After so many years, everyone’s temperament has changed a lot.”

180 years was a long time for ordinary people!

However, Sages had a lifespan of 10,000 years. 180 years was just the beginning.

Time passed very fast.

The young prodigies back then had all grown up and become mature and steady.

Compared to 180 years ago, the changes were extremely great!

Fang Chang curled his lips and said, “These guys, each and every one of them became the sacred leaders of their respective sacred grounds. How can they be like before?”

Following the traditions of the sacred grounds, there would be a new Saint every 100 years and a new Sacred Leader every 1,000 years.

Most of the elites present were the tenth-generation Saints of the various sacred grounds.

They had been in power for 100 years, and it was time for the next Sacred Leader Selection.

This was because the talent and cultivation of this generation’s paragons far surpassed the past.

Many people stood out and successfully assumed the position of the Sacred Leader.

For example, Wang Shenxu, Qi Shaoxuan, Kuduo, Chen Zhongtian, and the others had all taken over the Sacred Leader’s position in their respective sacred grounds.

As the sacred leaders, these people naturally could not be like before.

Shen Tian was slightly surprised as he asked, “Then who is the current Divine Firmament Sacred Leader?”

Logically speaking, as the latest Divine Firmament Saint, Shen Tian could also participate in the selection.

But he had been in seclusion at the Spherical Heaven Chessboard for 180 years and had long missed this opportunity.

Shen Tian was a little curious. Just who among the Saints had assumed the position of the Sacred Leader?

Fang Chang shook his head and said, “No one in this generation holds the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader position. It’s Master who’s still in control!”

“Why?”

Shen Tian was curious. This was a tradition that had lasted for countless years. Why hadn’t it been continued?

Yue Yunde walked up and said sincerely, “Because we were waiting for Junior Brother to return!

“Junior Brother has unparalleled talent and supreme talent. You have also contributed greatly to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.

“We all agree that only Junior Brother has the qualifications to be the next Divine Firmament Sacred Leader!”

Although he said that, he was complaining in his heart.

Which one of them did not want to be the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader? However, the conditions did not allow for them to do so!

Logically speaking, Yue Yunde’s cultivation and combat strength were the strongest amongst all the Divine Firmament Saints!

Of course, that’s excluding Shen Tian!

Furthermore, he was the first generation Saint, so he should be the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader.

However, Yue Yunde’s reputation was simply too terrible. Previously, he had been swindling everywhere, and he had become the public enemy of the entire nation, incurring the wrath of both man and god.

Even if the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader appointed him as the next Sacred Leader, the other elders and disciples would not agree.

If this fellow became the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader, wouldn’t the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground lose face?

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader was a reasonable person. He did not even mention Yue Yunde being appointed as the next Sacred Leader.

The position of the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader had nothing to do with him.

Furthermore, nearly all the Divine Firmament elders and disciples only recognized one person as the next Sacred Leader.

That was Shen Tian, who had been missing for 180 years.

Even the successive generations of Saints expressed that they were not worthy of being the next Sacred Leader.

This was because the contribution that Shen Tian had made was something no one else could match.

Shen Tian had brought back a few copies of imperial sutras alone.

Not to mention the God of War Pagoda... and other contributions.

All the Divine Firmament disciples enjoyed the benefits Shen Tian had brought back and were filled with worship and respect for him.

They were willing to wait for Shen Tian to return and assume the position of Sacred Leader, leading them to the peak.

Therefore, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader’s transition was dragged on. There had yet to be a new Sacred Leader.

Shen Tian was startled.

He did not expect that everyone was waiting for his return. Even the Sacred Leader transition had been delayed.

Such a sacred ground was really... too heartwarming!

...

Zhang Yunting smiled and said, “It’s alright now. Junior Brother has returned safely.

“Our Divine Firmament Sacred Ground will also have a new Sacred Leader.

“Given Junior Brother’s strength, you can definitely lead the Divine Firmament disciples to fight the Evil Spirits and protect the five regions!”

Shen Tian shook his head with a smile and modestly replied, “Not at all, not at all. I still have to rely on everyone’s hard work!

“Resisting the Evil Spirits to protect the five regions is our duty too. We will not shirk our duty!”

Shen Tian’s words instantly stirred the blood of many elites.

Everyone echoed.

“Good, well said!”

“The Divine Firmament Saint has such magnanimity. We are impressed!”

“Let’s work together and chase the Evil Spirit brats out of the five regions!”

...

Shen Tian suddenly thought of a problem.

After being in seclusion for the past 180 years, he knew nothing about the five regions. He did not know if this calamity was serious or not and whether the five regions could endure it.

Shen Tian looked at Zhang Yunting and asked, “Senior Brother, how is the situation in the five regions? How did the great calamity descend?”

Zhang Yunting’s gaze dimmed, and he sighed. “The current situation is not good for the five regions!

“Not long after the opening of the Supreme Sky Tree World, the Evil Spirit Sect took advantage of the weakness of the five regions’ sacred grounds to launch an attack.

“They had been plotting for a long time. When the time came, they came attacking in full force.

“The attacks were brutal and bloody. They are extremely inhumane.

“Across Eastern Wilderness, West Desert, Southern Wilderness, and North Sea, Evil Spirits from the outer realm have all invaded them.

“The Evil Spirit Sect is running extremely rampant. They completely disregarded the siege of the sacred grounds. They seem to be fighting to the death.

“If it was only the Evil Spirit Sect, it would not pose much of a threat to the five regions.

“The various regions have been passed down for many years and have deep foundations. It is not something that can be broken through in a short period!

“The Evil Spirits from the outer realm are also cooperating with the Evil Spirit Sect to help powerful Evil Spirits from the outer realm to descend into this world.

“There are Heavenly Venerable Evil Spirits everywhere, and there are even many Sage Evil Spirits.

“With so many terrifying Evil Spirits joining them, they were able to completely crush sacred grounds.

“After which, they became more and more savage, and their attacks became more and more ferocious!

“Many factions were destroyed just like that. The people had no way to survive. Even sacred grounds could not escape destruction!”

At this point, Zhang Yunting, who had always been gentle and refined, could not help but gnash his teeth.

This calamity was simply too tragic. Countless cultivators had died in the sea of blood.

Even ordinary people and living beings were not spared.

The entire five regions seemed to have turned into an endless purgatory, corpses were everywhere, and blood flowed like rivers.

“Only when the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty appeared did they manage to control the situation. However, the situation is still not so good for the cultivators of the five regions.

“The area covered by this calamity is too large. The Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty cannot provide support to all the areas affected.”

Zhang Yunting sighed deeply.

It could be said that this great calamity was already almost the same as the one 10,000 years ago!

However, this was only the beginning. No one knew when this would end!

The calamity would only get worse, and the number of deaths would also increase.

The Evil Spirits from the outer realm constantly entered this world, causing the five regions to face a far worse calamity than before.

Zhang Yunting continued. “Fortunately, the five regions felt unprecedented pressure and became extremely united.

“The demons and humans have also turned hostility into friendship. We have been fighting against the Evil Spirits from the outer realm together.

“Under the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty’s leadership, the five regions have united against the outer realm. If one place is attacked, the other places will immediately come to support.

“This will temporarily alleviate the Evil Spirit Sect’s offensive position. They won’t dare to be too arrogant for now.

“Especially more than 100 years ago, when Shi Tianzi returned, he brought back the Massive Heavenly Cycle Star Formation.

“This formation can gather the power of many cultivators and unleash tens or even hundreds of times the power.

“Imperial Lord Huang Shi also helped Shi Tianzi refine many Heavenly Cycle Chessboards and distributed them to the various sacred grounds.

“By relying on the formation and the foundations of the various sacred grounds, as well as the unity of all forces, the five regions temporarily have the upper hand against the outer realm Evil Spirits.”

...

More than 100 years ago, after Shi Tianz had left the Spherical Heaven Chessboard, he heard that a great calamity had erupted.

Hence, he had immediately rushed back to the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty.

Furthermore, he had immediately refined the Heavenly Cycle Chessboard to help the cultivators of the five regions fight against the Evil Spirits.

Only then did the cultivators of the five regions have the ability to fight against the Evil Spirits from the outer realms and temporarily repel them to restore peace.

However, everyone knew that this battle would not end so easily.

Once the Evil Spirits from the outer realm invaded, they would not stop so easily.

The longer this dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for the five regions’ cultivators.

This was because the five regions’ foundations and experts were rapidly depleting, while the Evil Spirits from the outer realms were sending in more and more experts to invade.

One day, the strength of the five regions would be completely exhausted.

At that time, the tragic scene from 10,000 years ago would reappear.

Perhaps this calamity was even more terrifying than the one 10,000 years ago.

...

,000 years ago, if the Heavenly Dao of this realm had not opened up a passage between the Mortal World and the Celestial World, allowing the Celestial World to send experts to help, the five regions would have probably been completely destroyed.

But 10,000 years later, no one knew if the Celestial World would send any more reinforcements.

This was because there was a common message that many people received from the various Thearch inheritances.

The situation in the Celestial World was not optimistic either. They had encountered an unprecedented crisis, and a great enemy was invading them.

Zhang Yunting sighed helplessly.

The Celestial World was in danger now. It could not even protect itself, and it might not even have enough strength to support the five regions.

Thus, this became a troublesome matter. No one knew if the five regions could hold on!

...

Shen Tian pondered for a moment. He naturally knew about this matter.

Even a supreme expert like the Golden Crow Thearch had died miserably in the Celestial World. One could only imagine what sort of calamity had befallen the Celestial World.

It seemed like the situation in the five regions was not optimistic.

Zhang Yunting said solemnly, “Based on the current situation, we need to increase our strength as much as possible. We must strive to find a chance of survival at the final moment.”

Kuduo said with melancholy, “But there are still Evil Spirits wreaking havoc in the outside world.

“They are constantly capturing the powerful cultivators of the five regions and bringing them back to the forbidden area as nutrients for the Blood Sacrifice Array, to summon the supreme experts of the Evil Spirit race.

“We rushed here this time to rescue the captured cultivators.”

Such actions were quite common, and they were all controlled by the top experts of the Evil Spirit Sect.

As a result, ordinary cultivators did not dare to wander outside at all, let alone improve.

Shen Tian frowned. “In that case, let’s start from our own people!”

Shen Tian then took out two Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills and handed them to Kuduo and Chen Zhongtian.

“Fellow Brothers, this pill is the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill, and it possesses the miraculous effect of changing one’s natural talent and comprehension ability. It’s capable of allowing your cultivations to improve.”

When Kuduo and Chen Zhongtian saw this, they were stunned.

They were on good terms with Qi Shaoxuan, Fang Chang, and the others. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have mingled together.

The two of them had naturally heard of the miraculous effects of the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill. It was an unparalleled supreme pill.

A large part of the reason Qi Shaoxuan, Fang Chang, and the others’ cultivation levels were much higher than theirs was because of the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill!

In these 180 years, although the two of them had not said anything, their hearts had been filled with envy.

They had boasted that they would be on the same level as Qi Shaoxuan and the others if they had consumed the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill.

However, only Shen Tian could refine the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill. It was impossible to find it elsewhere.

Now that such a supreme pill had appeared before their eyes, both of them were shocked and in disbelief.

Kuduo and Chen Zhongtian never thought that Shen Tian would give them the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill.

A transcendent pill like this could easily cause a bloody storm.

Especially in this sort of crisis, even peak sacred grounds would go crazy over it.

After all, this was a pill that could raise one’s strength. Its value was immeasurable.

In this situation, every bit of increase in strength would give one a greater chance to live.

At once, their bodies shook, and their eyes filled with gratitude.

“Brother Shen, how can we accept such a great gift?”

Their relationship with Shen Tian wasn’t like Qi Shaoxuan and Wang Shenxu’s, which was an iron friendship where they had suffered injuries and bled together with Shen Tian.

It was all thanks to Qi Shaoxuan and Fang Chang that they could befriend Shen Tian!

Kuduo and Fang Chang were close friends, while Chen Zhongtian was close to Qi Shaoxuan.

That was why they were able to take advantage of Shen Tian and enter the God of War Pagoda to cultivate.

But now, Shen Tian actually wanted to give them the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill. They were truly embarrassed.

...

Kudo and Chen Zhongtian looked at each other and couldn’t help but sigh.

It was rumored that the Divine Firmament Saint was extremely righteous and benevolent. Furthermore, he was extremely broad-minded.

Seeing it today, it was indeed so.

With such a Saint in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, how could it not rise to power?

With Brother Shen in the five regions, how could there be no hope?

I Kuduo...

I Chen Zhongtian...

Am utterly convinced!’
