The Heavenly Demon Emperor was seriously injured and had to recuperate quickly.

He could guess that Jun Changxiao would definitely take the opportunity to search for him, so he had to find a way to buy time.

His capable subordinates had all said goodbye, so the work of attracting attention could only be entrusted to the red-haired man.

Speaking of which.

These two brothers were quite pitiful.

One was abused by Nezha, the other by Monkey Brother.

The red-haired man’s injuries had recovered quite a bit. For the sake of regaining his freedom, he decided to help.

But the question was, how to attract attention?

After thinking it over, there was only one method—pretend to be the Heavenly Demon Emperor’s subordinate and go do something in a relatively remote place.

The red-haired man was also gambling.

Gambling that he wouldn’t be caught, otherwise it would definitely be very dangerous.

Earlier he was still wondering who had injured the Heavenly Demon Emperor, but then the latter asked him to attract Jun Changxiao—the answer was self-evident.

That guy!

Really formidable!

“Sigh.”

Recalling how he had been directly stabbed to death by the flame youth earlier, the red-haired man said helplessly: “Hope I can win this gamble.”

Speaking of gambling made his heart ache.

If not for this old habit, how would he have been controlled by the Heavenly Demon Emperor?

If only he had known, he should have stayed in that ordinary plane, in that ordinary clan, and lived peacefully for a lifetime.

Walking out from the flame domain, the red-haired man’s expression gradually became ugly.

The instant he was killed by Nezha made him realize something, and his heart became more guilt-ridden—guilty about abandoning that woman, abandoning his own son.

“No good!”

The red-haired man stopped and said: “I have to go back and see!”

He didn’t dare guarantee whether he could win the gamble, but if he lost, he would surely perish. So while still alive, he had to go back and see mother and son—at least… he could die without regrets.

“Whoosh!”

The red-haired man changed direction and transformed into a stream of light flying away.

His destination happened to be the Upper Realm.

…

As for Jun Changxiao, after searching outside for half a month without finding the Heavenly Demon Emperor, he had no choice but to return to the Eternal Realm, deciding to mobilize the sect and the masses to turn him upside down.

However.

As soon as he returned, he saw warships suspended in the surrounding starry sky.

News of saving the Undead Realm from the Heavenly Demon Emperor’s mouth had long spread from one to ten, ten to a hundred. Quite a few planes and forces decided to come seek refuge.

Of course.

With the Realm Protection Grand Formation providing full protection, they needed to pass strict review to enter.

“Finally wised up?”

Jun Changxiao shook his head.

“Sect Master!”

Just as he sat in the sect’s great hall, Young Master Yuan hurriedly came to report: “Too many martial artists are applying to enter the Eternal Realm. Should we…”

“Let them all in.”

“No review?”

“No need.”

“What if someone harbors evil intentions?”

“Give them ten times the courage and they still wouldn’t dare cause trouble on this seat’s territory.”

Having completed the legendary quest, the sect’s upper echelons and disciples had collectively improved their strength by a large margin. Jun Changxiao was confident in facing everything.

Even the top-tier Star Spirit Realm of the Upper Universe had been destroyed. As long as it wasn’t someone at the Heavenly Demon Emperor’s level, Dog Sheng really feared nothing under heaven.

“Yes!”

Young Master Yuan received the order, suspended the Realm Protection Grand Formation’s operation, and announced that all forces waiting outside could freely enter, but the prerequisite was registration.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

The Eternal Realm chose to let them through, and warships from various major planes swarmed in.

Actually, upon arriving at the Eternal Realm’s periphery and seeing such massive size, they had been shocked. Now coming inside and sensing even more concentrated heaven and earth attributes, the震撼 in their hearts grew even stronger!

Regret!

Why didn’t they come earlier!

Jun Changxiao was quite magnanimous. Apart from the Eternal Sect, any area of the Eternal Realm was open to martial artists from all planes, letting them experience it fully, letting them be shocked fully.

“Incredible!”

“The tier here has probably long surpassed top planes like the Star Spirit Realm!”

“How was this done!”

Everyone toured the Eternal Realm, their hearts震撼 beyond measure.

“Sect Master Jun!”

Just then, the Undead Realm’s Realm Lord faced the direction where the Eternal Sect was located and cupped his fists, saying: “Thank you for your assistance, eternally grateful!”

Behind him were countless citizens. If not for Jun Changxiao arriving in advance and successfully repelling the Heavenly Demon Emperor, they would have long become excrement.

“As beings of the same universe, we should help each other.”

Jun Changxiao’s voice transmitted from Iron Bones Mountain: “No need for thanks.”

His tone was solemn, his imposing aura威严. The demeanor of a realm lord and sect master was especially strong.

Dog Sheng, who was usually carefree, would naturally become serious on important occasions.

“Sect Master Jun!” the Undead Realm’s Realm Lord said: “If you don’t mind, we are willing to settle in your realm and heed your commands!”

The last few words represented submission.

This wasn’t as simple as settling—it meant willingness to become a vassal of the Eternal Realm.

A plane that should have perished was brought back to life because of Jun Changxiao. Becoming a vassal and heeding his commands wasn’t strange at all.

Moreover.

The Eternal Realm was so powerful.

“Good.”

Jun Changxiao said: “My realm has plenty of open land. Feel free to choose.”

The Eternal Realm had expanded several times. Many places were still in a desolate, undeveloped state, so he naturally welcomed beings from other realms to settle.

Put plainly.

I have plenty of land, live wherever you want!

“Many thanks!”

The Undead Realm’s Realm Lord was delighted in his heart.

He had been quite worried that Jun Changxiao would look down on his clan’s citizens. He never expected him to agree so readily.

“Sect Master Jun!”

At this time, a white-haired elder cupped his fists and said: “My Water Bureau Realm is also willing to settle in your realm!”

“My Fire Bureau Realm is willing too!”

“My Earth Bureau Realm is willing too!”

In an instant, representatives from various major planes expressed their stance one after another.

With the Heavenly Demon Emperor plaguing the universe, their homelands could be devoured at any time. If they had to leave their homeland anyway, they would naturally prefer to live in a plane with stronger heaven and earth attributes!

“No problem.”

Jun Changxiao said: “All who came today can settle in the Eternal Realm!”

Having land, magnanimous!

Thus, each plane competed to select suitable living areas and began contacting their homelands, deciding to migrate in as quickly as possible!

“However!”

Just as everyone was enthusiastically selecting locations, Jun Changxiao said: “Jun has one request.”

“Please speak, Sect Master Jun.” the Undead Realm’s Realm Lord said.

“Since you’re all migrating in, your original planes will naturally be empty. If left unmanaged, they’ll definitely be devoured by the Heavenly Demon Emperor. Jun’s meaning is…” Jun Changxiao paused and said: “Fertile water doesn’t flow to outsiders’ fields.”

“Fertile water doesn’t flow to outsiders’ fields?”

Everyone was bewildered.

…

Undead Realm.

Because all beings had moved into the Eternal Realm, it appeared exceptionally empty.

“Swish!”

Jun Changxiao descended.

Though this plane’s tier wasn’t too high, at least it was a complete world, so…

Same old routine.

Jun Changxiao went deep underground and began using both soft and hard approaches on the origin.

The so-called “fertile water doesn’t flow to outsiders’ fields” meant that since the Undead Realm’s beings had all moved into the Eternal Realm, they were equivalent to one family, so naturally this origin could be taken.

Put plainly.

All major planes could settle.

But as a condition, their origins had to be merged.

How was this approach different from the Heavenly Demon Emperor?

The difference was huge. First, Jun Changxiao didn’t indiscriminately slaughter innocents; instead, he provided the original beings with a superior environment. Second, the Heavenly Demon Emperor might make a comeback. If they didn’t merge in advance, it would be like leaving food for him.

In summary.

Must merge with the Eternal Realm.

Moreover, after merging, overall strength would increase, and the living environment for the beings would naturally improve further.

Benefiting both oneself and the people—why not?

“Whoosh! Whoosh!”

Before long, the Undead Realm’s origin was taken and successfully merged with the Eternal Realm, achieving a small increase in area.

The Water Bureau Realm and other planes also couldn’t escape the fate of being merged.

In just half a month, the Eternal Realm standing in the starry sky merged with over twenty planes. Though their tiers weren’t high, the overall area still grew by a circle!

With the plane expanding, there was more open land.

So Jun Changxiao needed more beings to settle, and then… merge the settlers’ original planes.

This formed a virtuous cycle. If this continued long-term, the Upper Universe’s planes would probably all disappear, and all beings would have to live in the Eternal Realm. By that time, even if it wasn’t a new era, it would count as one!

…

“Sect Master!”

One day, Li Luoqiu came to report: “News from the Upper Realm—a mysterious person has suddenly appeared.”

“Mysterious person?”
