The girl wore a fitted snow-white long dress that accentuated her curvy figure. Her hair was casually tied up at the back, and after days of travel, her dress had become somewhat dirty. Her features were delicate, her skin fair, and her large eyes gave her a charming appearance.
She walked over to the boy's side, glaring fiercely at him, and kicked him lightly on the backside twice. "Wei Chen, stop acting like a spoiled noble and get up."
The boy was indeed Wei Chen, the fifth son of Duke Wei Jian of Sui.
Wei Chen's nose twitched slightly, but he did not open his eyes. "Miss, I am your captive. Even thieves have their principles. No matter where you intend to take me, you must not mistreat me. I want venison; you brought me two roast chickens instead. Do you think I can't tell the difference between deer and chicken?"
The girl was infuriated by Wei Chen's lazy demeanor. "Throughout this journey, whatever you wanted to eat, I would get for you. Even if you wanted tiger meat, I would hunt it down for you! But you refuse to eat! I traveled forty miles just to find a rural shop—where would I find venison?"
Hearing her explanation, Wei Chen finally opened his sleepy eyes and nodded slightly, signaling for her to untie him.
The girl untied Wei Chen in annoyance and tossed him a roast chicken. "Hurry up and eat; once you're done, we need to keep moving."
"I thought both were for me," Wei Chen said leisurely as he sat up, casting a sidelong glance at the girl. Seeing her sulking in frustration on the side, a slight smirk appeared on his lips, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes. "I’m curious to see who dares to deal with someone like me—neither skilled in martial arts nor accomplished in literature... a useless person."
In the Endless Divine Realm, countless individuals were born into the Divine Realm; those like Wei Chen who were not born into it were considered useless.
Born into a family renowned for martial achievements, Wei Chen had no interest in practicing martial arts or wielding weapons; he preferred reading instead. Wei Jian felt embarrassed that his son was more of a scholar than a warrior but believed that such talents would be needed for future endeavors and thus did not force him into training. However, the books he read were mostly about history, biographies of notable figures, wars among various races, and local customs...
Wei Jian had long given up on this son. Consequently, the guards assigned to Wei Chen were the weakest.
Who would attempt to assassinate such a useless person?
Yet just two nights before Wei Jian returned home from his campaign, that girl infiltrated Duke Sui's Residence, knocked out Wei Chen's guard, and kidnapped him.
At that very moment, from the Demon Realm, another Wei Chen had stealthily entered Duke Sui's Residence. Upon seeing his namesake being abducted, he transformed into a Soul Body and penetrated into the Sea of Consciousness of that Wei Chen, taking control of his body. The unfortunate Wei Chen found his Soul Body imprisoned by this new Wei Chen and lost control over his own body, falling into a deep slumber.
After arriving in the Endless Divine Realm alongside Shaohuang God King, Taihao God King, Sui Huang, Great Merchant God King, Agricultural Sovereign, Zhuanxu—six Divine Kings—and the capable Donghua, they agreed to separate for one year to gather intelligence on the Eighteen Divine Realms before plotting their next move.
Upon arriving at the Endless Divine Realm, Wei Chen, along with Shaohuang God King, Taihao God King, Sui Huang, Great Merchant God King, Agricultural Sovereign, and Zhuanxu, realized that the Endless Divine Realm was far from what they had imagined. It was neither as simple nor as complex as they thought.
The Eighteen Divine Realms were akin to eighteen empires; they engaged in battles and alliances with one another. However, after countless seasons of conflict, while battles occurred, they did not threaten the very foundation of their existence.
Within the Endless Divine Realm, the Eighteen Divine Realms held absolute dominance, but there were also other types of Divine Realms that resembled kingdoms like the Soul World, which submitted to the authority of the Eighteen Divine Realms.
In each Divine Realm, there was nominally only one Supreme God. Yet through their investigations, Wei Chen and his companions were astonished to discover that within a single Divine Realm, there were no fewer than ten Supreme Gods! The powerful figures from Cloud Spirit Sect and fierce generals under the Supreme Gods were mostly at the level of Supreme God Realm.
This revelation drastically altered the course of action for Wei Chen and his companions in the Endless Divine Realm.
Initially, they planned to directly reclaim artifacts and eliminate the Supreme Gods within the Endless Divine Realm. However, the overwhelming power present made them feel embarrassed. They believed themselves to be quite strong, yet collectively, they might not even be able to contend with one of the Eighteen Divine Realms!
The Supreme Gods were not even the strongest entities; the true strength of the Endless Divine Realm lay in its Formation System. Each city, even those of lesser stature, boasted formidable formations designed to counter external Boundary Gods and deities.
Unexpectedly, these formations became the greatest obstacle hindering Wei Chen and his companions' actions.
Moreover, they noticed that within the Endless Divine Realm, a pervasive atmosphere of oppression and killing intent significantly compressed their powers. Of course, the gods and Supreme Gods within the Endless Divine Realm also experienced this compression; everyone was equal in this regard. However, due to the immense formations throughout the Endless Divine Realm, both gods and Supreme Gods could easily destroy a Spatial Plane with a mere wave of their hands. Without these massive Formation Arrays compressing their powers, the entire Endless Divine Realm would face annihilation.
After gaining a preliminary understanding of their situation, they decided to split up. They agreed to reconvene at Unreturning Mountain after one month according to the time units of the Endless Divine Realm—at the very spot where they had first entered.
Infiltrating Duke Sui's Residence, Wei Chen saw a girl who had taken him hostage. Seizing an opportunity, she targeted General Wei's son—Wei Chen—who was relatively weak in power. She occupied his body but found that his strength was only slightly greater than before. After all, she had merely taken over his soul; his physical energy remained intact.
Once she occupied his body, Wei Chen showed no reaction as he was taken captive by her.
He hoped to learn more about the Southern Ming Divine Domain through this girl.
After taking Wei Chen hostage, she quickly fled. By the time Duke Sui's Residence discovered that their guards had been killed and Wei Chen was missing on the following morning, she had already flown over a thousand miles on her Snow Eagle with him in tow.
"Let's go; we need to keep moving. Your father should have returned to Xing'an City by now. He will surely be furious upon learning that you have been kidnapped," she said as she re-tied Wei Chen and secured him on Snow Eagle's back. She mounted in front and urged Snow Eagle into flight. The majestic creature soared into the sky with powerful flaps of its wings, heading steadily westward.
The Snow Eagle, originally white, had its feathers dyed blue before the girl brought it out. Flying against the blue sky, it was hard to spot. Moreover, it soared high above, making it impossible to see anything from the ground.
Wei Chen crouched on the back of the Snow Eagle and said lightly, "I’m just a useless person with no talent for either literature or martial arts. Even if I were to die, how much anger could the Duke of Sui muster? His current fury stems from someone daring to offend him in the Southern Ming Divine Domain and infringe upon the Wei Family's dignity, not from concern for my safety."
Wei Chen recalled the previous information about "Wei Chen" and slipped into character.
The girl remained silent, a flicker of sympathy crossing her eyes.
Four or five hours passed quickly as the Snow Eagle flew over seven or eight hundred miles, and the sky began to darken.
"Miss, it's getting dark. Let's find a place to rest; I'm hungry," Wei Chen's lazy voice reached the girl's ears.
She turned around and glared at him, her face filled with anger. "You only ate a chicken at noon; how can you be hungry again?" She was so furious that she wanted to slap that playful grin off his handsome face.
But looking at his fair and striking features, she hesitated…
"Miss, according to the regulations of the Endless Divine Realm, we cannot mistreat captives and should try to meet their needs as much as possible."
"Don't push your luck!" the girl shouted angrily.
"Keep your voice down; if the enemy hears us, you can fly away while I’ll end up dead," Wei Chen teased just as a series of shrill cries echoed in the air.
The girl abruptly looked up and saw two Falcons carrying people flying toward them at high speed!
"Gongye Hong, hand over Wei Chen! We of the Privy Hall do not wish to engage in war with your Temple of Martial Arts!"
Hearing that voice, the girl's heart jolted. The Privy Hall was getting involved too?
Hearing those words, Wei Chen quietly turned his head to look at the pursuers behind him. He saw two old men and thought to himself, "Gongye Hong, what a pleasant name... The Temple of Martial Arts truly lives up to its reputation as the top power in this Divine Realm and the Cloud Spirit Sect. This Gongye Hong is already a Fifth-Level Deity, nearly on par with the rumored Wei Jian."
"The two old men are also Fifth-Level Deities, but their aura is a notch below Gongye Hong's. Yet they are of an age that could be considered Gongye Hong's grandfathers. The Privy Hall's strength is just about that; it can't compare to the Temple of Martial Arts."
"Wei Jian wants to become emperor, and the Privy Hall is his biggest obstacle. Now the Temple of Martial Arts has inexplicably intervened... Heh, let you all make a mess of things. I want to see just how strong your forces in the Endless Divine Realm really are."
The Temple of Martial Arts and the Privy Hall are both common presences in the Divine Realm. Wei Chen extracted information from the memories of that unfortunate and useless Wei Chen; both the Temple of Martial Arts and the Privy Council Master are true Supreme God Realms!
The Falcon was fast, closing in quickly. Gongye Hong gritted her teeth, gathered her hands into a blade, and struck fiercely at the Snow Eagle.
"I'm sorry, Eagle. Hurry and fly to that valley." Gongye Hong knew that fighting in the air against two opponents was hopeless; there was still a chance on the ground. Using Divine Power for flight consumed a lot of energy and couldn't be sustained for long. Moreover, Wei Chen was still there. She feared being held back by one while the other snatched Wei Chen away. All her previous efforts had been wasted if Wei Chen treated her like a servant.
The Snow Eagle was merely a flying beast, not yet at the spirit beast level, so it couldn't understand Gongye Hong's words. However, after being struck by her hand blade, it let out a cry and flapped its wings desperately, soaring towards a nearby valley.
"Gongye Hong, how could the speed of the Snow Eagle possibly match that of the Falcon? Besides, you're carrying that burden called Wei Chen. Stop struggling and hand over Wei Chen to us obediently to avoid any unpleasantness," one of the thin old men mocked loudly.
Anxiety appeared on Gongye Hong's face. She had grown up on the peak of Snow Ridge Mountain and had chosen one of the most difficult tasks for her first descent into the world. Initially, everything went smoothly; she thought this task was nothing special—just that Wei Chen was too demanding and bothersome. However, with the appearance of the two elders from the Privy Hall, she realized that kidnapping Wei Chen to Snow Ridge Mountain was not as simple as she had thought.
The Snow Eagle flew swiftly to the valley but couldn't stop due to its speed; it crashed down heavily and slid far away.
Wei Chen fell to the ground with a painful scream, cursing, "Gongye Hong, do you want to kill me?"
