Chapter 1264: Chapter 324: Fang Immortal Legend

"You are mistaken. These divine citizens, now struggling to have three meals a day, have become refugees. According to the regulations of the Divine Realm, Futu Heaven has the right to accommodate refugees. Unless their living conditions improve, those divine citizens will retain their refugee status and receive shelter, and even you cannot interfere," said Ye Lingguang confidently.

Wherever there are people, there will be chaos and disputes, and the Divine Realm is no exception.

In fact, the divine powers of the gods in the Divine Realm are boundless, making the conflicts in the Divine Realm even more numerous than in other planes.

Some inconspicuous divine races are swallowed by more powerful ones.

Moreover, some divine races will quietly vanish into the annals of history due to harsh living conditions.

The refugee policy was designed to protect those displaced divine citizens and was established during the Ancient Times by the Heavenly Emperors; even the current Four Divine Emperors cannot alter it.

"Xi Jiuye, I have made myself clear; unless you can transform the Northern Territory back into a fertile land, those divine citizens won’t be returned to you. More and more will become refugees in the Northern Territory, sheltered by Futu Heaven and other divine realms."

Ye Lingguang glanced at Xi Jiuye, feeling an unprecedented satisfaction.

He was a scholarly person; having decided to use words and not violence, he would never go back on his word.

His parents couldn’t avenge his sister due to the interference of several Divine Emperors.

He had repressed his frustrations for hundreds of years and finally found this opportunity. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

From now on, he would avenge his sister’s enemies himself.

For someone like Xi Jiuye, killing him with a single stroke would be letting him off easily.

Ye Lingguang intended to leave Xi Jiuye with nothing, as his sister made Xi Jiuye, he could also render him destitute.

Does being a Divine Master make him impressive? Mocking him for being just a Main God without a Divine Realm? Then he would make Xi Jiuye, just like him, a leader without followers, a Ziwei without a single divine citizen.

"Ye Lingguang, give me one year. In one year, I will personally go to Futu Heaven and carry back my people. Even if it’s just me, Xi Jiuye, alone, I will make the Northern Territory a paradise in the Divine Realm."

Xi Jiuye was momentarily speechless.

He had already noticed that the Ice and Snow Goddess’s curse had intensified over the past year.

The entirety of the Northern Territory was increasingly enveloped in ice and snow, frozen over for miles year-round.

If this continued, the Northern Territory would eventually become a polar region.

Thus, Xi Jiuye had secretly recruited soldiers, waiting for the right time to seize a new divine realm. But before he was ready, Ye Lingguang acted first.

Moreover, due to the Heavenly Gang Bamboo incident, the forces of the Heavenly Gang Palace were temporarily unusable.

As for current plans, he could only devise a new strategy to mitigate the crisis in the Northern Territory.

Ye Lingyue had once used a special method to alleviate the Ice and Snow Goddess’s curse. Since she found a way, he thought he also could.

"Then I’ll await eagerly."

Ye Lingguang shrugged his shoulders, gestured to his many subordinates, and vanished into the snowstorms.

Xi Jiuye was left enveloped in ice and snow, the chill seeping through him.

"Divine Master, should we return to the Northern Territory first?"

Behind Xi Jiuye, the leader of the Thirteen Riders cautiously asked.

"No, we will go to Feng Valley to seek the Feng Gu Divine Emperor."

Xi Jiuye pondered briefly before deciding, thinking about returning to the Divine Palace where Lan Chuchu would surely throw a tantrum, making him even more troubled.

Lately, he felt that Lan’er’s temper had markedly changed.

In the past, Lan’er was gentle and caring, but now she frequently lost her temper.

Her maids also often vanished mysteriously, things Xi Jiuye was fully aware of, but he forwent action considering their past love and the Feng Gu Divine Emperor’s influence.

The appearance of Ye Lingguang, although opportunistic, made Xi Jiuye realize that the governance of the Northern Territory was facing an unprecedented crisis, needing resolution, lest his divine power alone become inadequate, causing his divine citizens to disperse to other divine realms.

The Feng Gu Divine Emperor is Lan Chuchu’s Father God.

Though his age exceeded several thousand years, he appeared as a well-maintained middle-aged man, handsome and upright, drawing countless goddesses and alien race women to kneel at his feet.

Upon learning of his son-in-law Xi Jiuye’s visit, the Feng Gu Divine Emperor was quite pleased, specially arranging a feast to entertain Xi Jiuye.

By nature, he was debonair with numerous offspring, but none were promising. Xi Jiuye was his favorite.

Firstly, Xi Jiuye’s father, the previous Clan Leader of the Xi Clan, was once a trusted subordinate of the Feng Gu Divine Emperor. Yet, for the coveted position of Realm God, Xi Clan’s leader maliciously harmed Yun Sheng’s beast pet, Bo Bo, attempting to dominate the Human Realm, eventually slain by Ye Lingyue’s parents and the Netherworld God united. This incident once infuriated the Feng Gu Divine Emperor.

However, as two of the Four Divine Emperors were biased toward Yun Sheng and the Ye Beiming couple, and with the Xi Clan’s leader’s prior wrongdoings, the Feng Gu Divine Emperor had to suppress his rage inevitably.

Secondly, Xi Jiuye is now the son-in-law of the Feng Gu Divine Emperor, esteemed among all Divine Masters for his distinguished achievements. Should he prove capable in pioneering new lands in the battlefield outside, there might be a chance of succeeding as the fifth Divine Emperor, alongside the existing Feng, Fire, Water, and Earth Five Divine Emperors.

With Lan Chuchu now pregnant, this implies that the bloodline of Feng Gu Divine Emperor might soon inherit new Divine Emperor’s position, allowing him to cease enduring constraints from the other three Divine Emperors.

Thinking of this, the Feng Gu Divine Emperor was even more delighted with Xi Jiuye’s visit, eagerly entertaining him, asking about Lan Chuchu’s health routinely.

Xi Jiuye tactfully dodged mentioning his dispute with Lan Chuchu this time.

The banquet was filled with lively conversation between the two, and after a few rounds of drinks, the Feng Gu Divine Emperor saw the lingering melancholy on Xi Jiuye’s face and asked out of curiosity, learning Xi Jiuye was facing a significant problem.

"About the curse of the Ice and Snow Goddess, I’ve heard some whispers too. The land in the Northern Territory is indeed barren, and finding a permanent solution is both time-consuming and labor-intensive. But my dear son-in-law, I might know of a way that could assist you."

The Feng Gu Divine Emperor, meanwhile, was flushed from drinking.

"In the Divine Realm, acquiring land is generally accomplished via two methods: conquest or refinement."

"Refinement? Father God, what do you mean?"

While familiar with conquest, Xi Jiuye understood it could lead to extensive conflicts, some battles lasting decades or even centuries.

Such a method wouldn’t quickly resolve the current state in the Northern Territory, but the second method was unfamiliar to him.

"Your unfamiliarity is understandable, as in the entire Divine Realm, no more than eight individuals can refine a divine domain. You might have heard of the Divine Realm’s Eight Pillar Immortals."
