Chapter 604: Chapter 524: Treating Divinity Transformations Like Snack Bars!

"Impossible!"

Hearing the so‑called choice Wan Chenxin offered, Chen Nuoyi refused on the spot.

Like a mother dragon protecting her cub, she used her body to block Wan Chenxin’s line of sight spying on Su Yuan, a vicious glint flashing in her golden beautiful eyes.

"You’re Little Dragon’s successor, right? Your temper’s just like his, pretty stubborn too."

Wan Chenxin gave Chen Nuoyi a gentle smile:

"I heard you’re Su Yuan’s Dao partner. Don’t worry, I absolutely won’t hurt you, because only if you’re perfectly fine will Su Yuan make the correct choice."

Chen Nuoyi said coldly:

"Su Yuan will never choose suicide. If he dares pick that, I’ll die right in front of him and firm up his resolve to fight you to the very end."

Wan Chenxin paused, apparently not having expected Chen Nuoyi to be this fierce.

She mulled it over, then said earnestly:

"I’m asking Su Yuan to go to his death for his own good, and for the good of the entire Cultivation Realm as well."

"Since none of you are willing to hand Su Yuan over just because the enemy is powerful, I can only use the truth to persuade you."

Chen Nuoyi’s expression remained wary, not relaxing in the slightest.

Wan Chenxin went on:

"What I’m about to say next are secrets of the Cultivation Realm that the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity absolutely does not want outsiders to know. Once someone learns this intel, they’ll be hunted down by him."

"Are you sure you want to know? Anyone who doesn’t can leave right now."

After this seemingly heartfelt reminder, not a single Cultivator standing guard around Su Yuan wavered.

On the contrary, Qi Anong, who had been guarding the door, took the initiative to walk in, wanting to hear what medicine Wan Chenxin was selling in her gourd.

This Female Immortal, brimming with maternal radiance, let out a soft sigh, then slowly spoke:

"The resources in the universe are limited. I don’t think I need to explain that too much."

Star River Celestial Monarch, Wu Luo True Monarch and the others all subconsciously nodded.

As High Tier Cultivators, they could feel far more keenly than common folk that the total amount of Spiritual Energy had its limits.

"Ordinary people don’t feel the constraints of resources so obviously, but you Ten Great Celestial Monarchs of Blue Star should already have sensed how dire the situation is."

"Over these past three hundred years, in order to cultivate and replenish your own expenditure, you Ten Great Celestial Monarchs must have already drained quite a number of worlds rich in Spiritual Energy, right?"

Wan Chenxin asked in a low voice.

Qi Anong gave a slight nod:

"That’s right. Since I achieved Divinity Transformation, I’ve personally drained thirteen small worlds and four mid‑sized worlds."

"But I did not harm the local residents. I transferred them all to the peaceful worlds under my administration."

Wan Chenxin shook her head with a smile and said:

"You’re just lying to yourself. You can’t bear to make a move on the worlds you govern, so you choose to drain other worlds, then relocate their residents... but after all that effort, isn’t the Spiritual Energy in your own worlds being consumed even faster?"

Qi Anong pressed her lips together and argued:

"That’s why I keep pressing forward, conquering new worlds so that Blue Star’s civilizational resources can break even."

"Balance will be broken sooner or later."

Wan Chenxin said calmly:

"If you don’t die in the process of conquering worlds, then you will definitely grow stronger and stronger, and your consumption of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and resources will grow ever more enormous."

"Until one day you discover that your rate of conquering worlds can’t keep up with your rate of consuming resources, and you’re left with only two options."

"One: restrain yourself and stop getting stronger. Two: lay hands on the worlds you’ve already taken, squeeze those worlds’ resources dry, cut into the food, clothing, and daily necessities of the common masses, and become the moth that eats a civilization hollow."

Qi Anong’s face shifted. She frowned, wanting to say something.

But Wan Chenxin cut her off first:

"I know, you want to say this sort of thing is still too far off, not something you need to think about right now."

"But what if I told you this future actually isn’t far away at all, and the exact same thing already truly happened in the last era?"

As she spoke, she turned her gaze to Zhu Qingqing, who had come from the end of the previous era.

Zhu Qingqing froze for a moment, then said cautiously:

"Well... when I was about to die, resources in the Cultivation Realm had indeed become scarcer than before. Poor Cultivators were getting even poorer, and the Major Sects in the Cultivation Realm were waging a lot of wars over it."

"But I was a Demon Cultivator, and my consumption of ordinary cultivation resources wasn’t that big. All I needed was human material, so I’m not super clear on the specifics."

Wan Chenxin nodded: "Thank you for providing a real example."

She continued, "The resource scarcity in the last era wasn’t for any other reason; it was simply because the thirty‑six Divinity Transformation of the Human Race and the fourteen Divinity Transformation of the Demon Race consumed too many resources."

"They practically sucked the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi dry, stopped spirit herbs from growing, turned spirit ore veins into plain rock... If things went on like that, even if the Immortal Tribulation never triggered, the last era would still have died out in despair."

"To prevent the Cultivation Realm from entering a hopeless End of the Dharma Era, it was necessary to set a population standard and periodically trigger the Immortal Tribulation."

"Under the Immortal Tribulation, all beings are equal."

"Once everything is rebooted, the Cultivation Realm will give birth to new vitality, new prosperity, and so the cycle repeats, on and on, forever."

"I support the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity because I love all living beings. I can’t bear to hurt any single life, yet when the Immortal Tribulation descends I must set an example and be the first to destroy the civilization I created."

By the end, Wan Chenxin’s tone carried a trace of lofty solemnity.

As if she were the true Savior, the guardian of the world.

But after hearing this so‑called secret, Su Yuan was just speechless.

Come on, sis... you’re being a bit too extreme here.

Because the universe’s resources are insufficient, you reboot all civilizations in the universe—what kind of Thanos behavior is that?

That guy only wiped out half the population of the universe; you and the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity just go ahead and kill everyone.

You two are even more hardcore than Thanos!

"Elder Wan, you sound all righteous and noble, so let me ask: how do you explain what the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity has done?"

"He takes in Divinity Transformation who surrender, then wantonly bullies and exploits ordinary folk. There’s no depravity he hasn’t indulged in. You call that being ’for the sake of the Cultivation Civilization’?"

Su Yuan asked coldly.

The reverent look on Wan Chenxin’s face stiffened slightly, and her gaze turned a bit evasive.

"Well... as for the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity, yeah, some of the things he does are pretty beastly, but there are reasons for it."

"That guy’s destroyed the Cultivation Civilization too many times; he’s long since gone insane. Any little thing that displeases him and he wants to hit reset. For example, he’s not very satisfied with how this era has played out."

"Because of that, he won’t show the Cultivators of this era the slightest mercy. He kills them whenever he feels like it."

The corner of Su Yuan’s mouth twitched.

Even a closest friend can’t find anything nice to say about how beastly he is—sure enough, that’s the Immeasurable Calamity Old Deng I know.

Wan Chenxin gave a light cough and continued:

"As for his taking in Divinity Transformation, that actually isn’t due to some twisted hobby or anything; he just treats Divinity Transformation as backup energy reserves."

"The Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity is too strong. If he were to absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, it would accelerate the end of a cultivation era."

"To avoid affecting the development of civilization, he had no choice but to store up some Divinity Transformation Cultivators, and when his own state was poor, he’d eat one to recover. For certain Divinity Transformation Cultivators, he even developed some special ways of eating them."

"For example, there was one called the Spirit Medicine Fairy—he sliced her up and ate her piece by piece."

Su Yuan: "..."

Nice, nice, so Immeasurable Calamity Old Deng is treating Divinity Transformation Cultivators like Snickers bars and sashimi, huh—pure demon.

Wan Chenxin: "And this is already the result of the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity restraining himself as much as possible."

"A long time ago, he already suppressed his own cultivation and stopped breaking through. As far as I know, his true body’s cultivation is still only at Divinity Transformation Peak to this day..."
