Aside from the Dreamless Divine Regent, Meng Kongchan, the strongest figures in the Dreamweaver Kingdom of God are the nine Dream Hall Lords, along with the Valley Lord of the Sinking Dream Valley.
All of them were at the Divine Limit Realm, with the strongest among them being the Chief Lord of the nine Dream Halls, who had reached the Peak Divine Limit Realm. He was acknowledged as the second strongest person in the entire Dreamweaver Kingdom of God, and he also held the identity of father-in-law to the Divine Regent as well as the father of the Divine Empress, Meng Xuanjue.
{Honestly, these names are freaking confusing. You don't have to put much effort into remembering them. Simply remember the hot women, like Meng Xuanjue.}
Meng Xuanji was the Seventh Dream Lord and the brother of Meng Xuanjue. The Seventh Hall focused mainly on intelligence gathering, with tentacles and spies stretching everywhere except the Eternal Night Kingdom of God.
He was the first person in the Dreamweaver Kingdom of God to hear about Yun Wuji. His initial thought was that this person must be from one of the other four Kingdoms of God, nurtured in secret.
He instinctively excluded the Eternal Night Kingdom of God because there was absolutely no way that crazy woman would allow any man to reach such strength. After all, men there were treated as nothing but lowly slaves.
To his surprise, after further research, he discovered that all the other Kingdoms were also searching for information about him. This meant that none of them had any connection to him. It seemed this man had simply appeared out of nowhere, as if he were not even from this world.
Everything about him seemed shrouded in mystery. His earliest public appearance was in the Qilin Abyssal Realm. Meng Xuanji felt that this matter could be of great significance, so after reporting it to the Dreamless Divine Regent, he also passed the report on to his father and his sister.
The Divine Regent didn't pay much attention to this. The only thing that barely caught his interest was the reaction of the Pure Land, or rather, the lack of it. Even so, he didn't probe further.
The Six Kingdoms of God had been peaceful for a very long time. They never went to war with each other and never had any major conflicts, so to him, it didn't matter if some random guy with high cultivation appeared or not.
He had more important things to worry about, like giving birth to a freaking qualified Divine Son!
He had tens of thousands of children, yet not one of these stupid cunts had awakened even an 80 percent Divine Essence.
This had become a crisis for him. His peers had all produced qualified Divine Sons, and his two best buddies had even given birth to extraordinary ones. Hua Fuchen's daughter, Hua Caili, had an unprecedented perfect Divine Essence, and Dian Rahu's son had been found to possess the unparalleled Divine Vein of Great Rage.
Meng Kongchan, on the other hand, didn't have any outstanding sons. His only noteworthy one was Meng Jianzhou, but he had only awakened 60 percent Divine Essence. This was his greatest shame, to the point that he could not even lift his head in front of his peers. Even within the Kingdom, many people were beginning to worry about the strength of his bloodline.
He had taken a new concubine decades ago, and he had been working hard with her to sire a new baby. He was liking her more and more. In fact, he was liking her a little too much, to the point that the Empress Meng Xuanjue had started getting jealous.
Meng Xuanjue started feeling very insecure about her throne. She may have had the support of her father and brother, but she still knew just how obsessed her husband was with producing a qualified successor. If that bitch were to give birth to a child with 80 percent Divine Essence, the possibility of her being stripped of her throne was almost certain.
If the Divine Regent insisted on it, not even a hundred of her father and brother would be able to stop him. A single move would be all it took to crush any resistance.
She had become so paranoid that every time she closed her eyes, the image of being kicked out of her palace, stripped of her power, haunted her. She began searching for anything that could help her and consolidate her authority.
When she heard about this man's existence, a person strong enough to defeat two Knight Commanders on his own and with ease, she did not hesitate to ask her brother to go and recruit him. She even had her son accompany him.
Her brother and father were also growing concerned about the excessive favor the Divine Regent was showing to this new concubine, and they agreed with Meng Xuanjue's proposal.
When Meng Xuanji and Meng Jianzhou saw Yun Wuji in person, they were both stunned and amazed. Meng Xuanji was shocked because, even though he was at the Divine Limit Realm, he could not sense any aura from Yun Wuji, yet at the same time, he felt a great danger emanating from him.
Meng Jianzhou, on the other hand, burned with jealousy and envy. He was proud of his talent as the only one among his father's children to have awakened 60 percent Divine Essence, and he was even prouder of his looks. Since he became an adult, a single smile could send any woman to his bed.
That inflated his ego and consolidated his belief that his appearance was unparalleled. So when he saw someone far better looking than him, the urge to destroy the man standing before him flared up in his chest.
Still, he was a young master, but not completely brainless. He had heard the stories about this man and knew how strong he was. This guy was not even afraid of the Pure Land, so if he rashly offended him, who knew whether he would be bitch-slapped to death alongside his uncle.
"Dreamweaver Kingdom of God? Seems like hot shit," Yun Wuji glanced at the two. He was interested in their clothing, which seemed to be made from some special material that could enhance the attack and defense of the soul. Maybe he could borrow some.
However, he was concerned about something far more important. "Limitless Sword Demon, since when did I have such a title?"
'Wait, could it be? No way, it can't be real, right?!' Yun Wuji suddenly remembered the time he had been playing around with the Knights. It can't be possible that they actually took his bullshit seriously, can it!?!
Helian Lingzhu, on the other hand, was standing behind Yun Wuji, hiding from the two. The Kingdoms of God were the pinnacle of this world, and even though she believed in Yun Wuji's strength, she still instinctively felt terrified of the people from there.
"It is the Pure Land that announced this title. If you feel offended by it, I shall refrain from calling you by it," Meng Xuanji said with a cordial attitude. In this world, strength was the absolute truth. Yun Wuji was strong, so he deserved their respect.
"So that is the case. You can call me whatever you want," Yun Wuji waved his hand. He found it far funnier that the Knights actually took his bullshit seriously than the title itself. "What brought you here?"
Of course, he had a good idea why these two had come here. He had used the Thread of Fate to deduce his future, so he already knew what would happen. Even without the Thread of Fate, he could have figured out why they came just from their attitude. It didn't take a genius to see that.
Meng Jianzhou frowned, his face nearly twisting into a scowl. They had come with sincerity, yet this guy was treating them so casually. He hadn't even invited them in or offered them something to drink as a gesture of respect, even though it was far beneath them to enter that lowly place.
This bastard clearly didn't take them seriously at all!
Meng Xuanji stepped forward, keeping his voice calm but firm. "Yun Wuji, I have a proposal for you. Your strength and talent are undeniable, and the Dreamweaver Kingdom of God could use someone of your caliber. I have come here to sincerely invite you to join us."
"Trying to recruit me?" Yun Wuji said with a smile.
Meng Xuanji nodded solemnly. "If you accept my offer, you will gain resources, knowledge, and protection far beyond what you could achieve alone. I am asking you not as a subordinate, but as someone who recognizes your true potential. Come with me, and I promise you will not be disappointed."
"That sounds good," Yun Wuji said, amused by their humble attitude. It was still not sincere enough. Perhaps if they were to crawl at his feet and lick the dirt he walked on, he might consider taking them as his servants. "But I refuse!"
He didn't need anything they offered. He had more knowledge, profound skills, and profound arts than anyone in this world. When it came to wealth, he had access to all the resources in the Endless Fog, literally the greatest source of wealth in the entire universe. As for power and protection, if he put his mind to it, he could even kill the Dreamless Divine Regent.
In fact, he was the one trying to protect them here, working hard to repair the broken Abyssal Laws.
...
Shooting across the dark grey fog, two figures flew silently. The one on the left could not hold himself any longer and exploded, "That bastard! How dare he refuse! Uncle went personally to recruit him, but he dismissed us so casually, as if we were some insignificant nobodies!"
Meng Jianzhou had grown up under the admiration and encouragement of everyone. He had never felt so 'humiliated'. If he had the strength now, he would have ripped that man's body to shreds!
"Shut up!" Meng Xuanji barked without looking at him. He was not feeling good either. He had shown his greatest sincerity, yet the man seemed completely uninterested. How long had it been since anyone had dared turn him down like that, with no regard for his authority?
"But uncle," Meng Jianzhou protested, feeling wronged.
"What can you do about it? Kill him? Do you even have that ability?" Meng Xuanji snapped back. "You are already over a thousand years old. You are no longer a fucking child. Grow some freaking brains!"
"In this world, strength is everything! That man's cultivation is higher than mine. He has every right to look down on us, heck, he is probably as strong as your grandfather!" Meng Xuanji stopped flying and grabbed Meng Jianzhou's shoulder, squeezing it until he grimaced. "Do you think your father will personally make a move for someone this 'insignificant'? Even if he was not busy fucking that woman, he would not care about you, a failure!"
"..." Meng Jianzhou clenched his fists and lowered his head.
"Do you really think that 60 percent Divine Essence is something to brag about? Even if you had ten percent more, you would still be a failure!" Meng Xuanji pushed him away, speaking with clear displeasure. "We have been trying to talk some sense into you for so long, but it seems the only language you understand is failure!"
