If I Say

"Alright, let's go explore the lower region." With a bright smile, Ling Han turned to leave after giving everyone the information. but in my words, Fan Ye frowned slightly, making me look at her. Fan Ye bit her lips slightly, she wanted me not to go right now. how could she let me go with a war about to break out? but she didn't want to take back her words

"You can go... but stay out of harm's way. No more pushing your body, understood?" She asked, to which I nodded seriously. At this, she closed her eyes while looking away from me, as if seeing me might make her change her mind.

Grabbing Ling Hongwa who was about to take a bite of the cake that had my image, I ran off, causing Ling Hongwa to almost cry while reaching out towards the cake. but with a step, we disappeared causing her to look at me with tearful eyes.

"What?" I asked in confusion, I thought she didn't like the cake as she had been eyeing it the whole party. What was she crying about right now?

"Nothing." With a pout, Ling Hongwa looked away from me, leaving me with confused marks. Shaking my head, I looked towards Ling Mei and Ling Wong who had appeared before me. But before I could say anything, I was picked up and my back was pressed against two soft pillows. Ignoring this, I looked at everyone

"I grew bored of simple treasures, so let's skip everything and go get the treasure of the whole world. our first location is the continent known as the Great Hawk Continent." I said calmly, In Great Hawk Continent, there was a legendary Grade item, the highest grade in this world, it equals the Saint King realm

In the whole world, there were countless such treasures to be born in this world. but by now, countless of them were either not of this world or had been lost. currently, there were around 60 such treasures that were lost. collecting them would not be enough to collect the whole fate of this world since so many treasures born from this world had left, but I could make up for this by collecting other treasures.

The Legendary Grade Item At Great Hawk Continent was a pendant created from slaughtering countless phoenixes. this created a pendant known as the Pendant of Rebirth. This Pendant Gave one the power to go through rebirths. So long as the person wearing this pendant is killed with even a bit of their soul remaining, they could come back to life with a burst of flames.

There was a limit to this, the limit being that the Pendant needs a cool-down time after each rebirth. that cool-down time is needed for the Pendant to recover its energy, at the same time the Pendant had a passive boost to one recovery speed,

back then the Saint King wearing this was hunted down by the phoenix race with all of their might. In the end, he managed to escape but ended up dying of his injuries down here in the lower region.

He set up an inheritance ground to trick someone to come get the pendant. He had sealed his soul within the pendant, sadly the Pendant was damaged and couldn't bring him back to life. but if someone put the pendant on, he would be able to come back to life through them.

Sadly, the expert fell into a forbidden zone. his blood that fell there only made that forbidden zone more deadly.

Currently, my treasures are all at the peak of the Greater Divine Grade and are stepping into the legendary grade soon. This was huge and made me the richest in the world, even in the upper region I was a super extreme rich man.

The Carriage I had for long travel was magical, they held a whole mansion within and could speed up cultivation speed, fly on their own, and so on. Other than the carriages I had ships that could have some resistance towards space-time, allowing the ship to go beyond the speed of light.

Be it Earth or this world, the heavens had set a speed limit upon this world, which was that of light. The faster you go, the slower time goes. Once one reaches the speed of light, then time stops. but time doesn't simply stop, the rules of this world also stop. Go fast enough, and pure speed alone could allow you to travel backward in time.

It's because of this that there had to be a speed limit. of course, my ship was truly fast by normal means. If the ship was truly fast without the need for unique abilities, then one could even travel backward in time with the ship, moving so fast they arrive at point B before they even took a step from Point A

Anyways, Ling Han, Yuan Ming, Ling Hongwa, Ling Mei, and Ling Wong all arrived at Hawk Continent, where Ling Han went on to take the Pendant. of course, the forbidden zone was troublesome. The Forbidden Zone was just a region filled with many powerful volcanoes, these volcanoes were not always too powerful, but with the death of the saint King and his falling here, these volcanoes became more deadly.

Ling Han also got the source of power of these volcanos. a fire spirit stone mine that had been empowering these volcanoes for millions of years. 

"Let's do a speed run..." Ling Han said softly while healing the pendant before the carriage disappeared. He jumped from one place to another, but he was only targeting treasures with no owner at the moment. after he planned to go to the Frosty Hell Continent to get the treasures with an owner.

Meanwhile, the upper region was in chaos as they went to war with the wild beast. the war was truly heaven-shaking, but no wild beast dared to come to the lower region. did they dare to step out before the Celestial Deer? It was a blood bath as many cities and sects fell in a matter of days. in days, but millions, not billions, or trillions... trillions of trillions of trillions of lives fell that day.

This world was large, of course, this world was a planet. The circumference of this planet should be a few billion. to compare this size back to his former world, this planet would be the size of Earth's Star system. Was this not shocking? Ling Han honestly had questions about all of this as this planet didn't turn into a black hole or something.

at the same time, gravity was unique in this world. for example, gravity on the islands feels the same as on Earth. but as you go deeper into those bigger continents, the stronger gravity gets. the gravity was of course affected by the Qi in the air, the greater the density of Qi in the air, the greater the gravity someone would feel.

Its because of this, mortals of the upper region could fight cultivators of the lower region even without training. of course, the cultivators had to be at Houtian. If mortals went to the upper region, they would be crushed by the weight of the Qi. They would need to slowly adapt and grow under such a great density of Qi.

It's because of this Ling Hongwa was shocked by how capable Ling Fang and his mother were. this is because the density of Qi in the lower region was nothing compared to the Immortal realm. One should also know, that they would have to adapt to that density of Qi once they head up there and even up to the Upper region.

this is why Ling Fang didn't step into the upper region so quickly, he needed time to allow his body to be able to adapt to the new condition. Too much Qi wasn't good for a person, yes he would not have to worry about the weight of such energy, but he would have to worry about breathing so much energy over time.

Even Ling Han couldn't be okay with breathing in so much energy, the weight of the QI he breathed in was heavily affected by where he was. So, if he were to just jump to the immortal realm and breathe in such heavy energy, he would not even be able to breathe as he would feel like he was underwater. it would be like trying to breathe in seawater for him.

At the same time, the weight of these Qi had a huge impact on someone, in the lower region one needed to be at Xiatian to fly. in the upper region, one needed to be at least a level 10 Saint realm expert to fly

there were 3 continents in the upper region. Seeking Immortal Continent, Heaven Star Continent, Frosty Hell Continent.

Seeking Immortal Continent was the main location one could go, and that allowed one to put all of their attention on cultivation. many people would gather there to fully set their attention on growing stronger. If using Earth's point of view, this continent was like a ground of powerful academies where genius from all over could gather and come study. Among the continents, it was the smallest but was filled with many powerhouses. 

The many sects came together to make sure that not one power could control this continent, other than battles for resources or some other stuff, this place was a location free from those kings and nobility touch. Backgrounds here also didn't matter, you could be the young master of some powerful experts, but all that mattered was one personal strength.

The Heavenly Star Continent was home to many empires, these empires normally sent their talents to the Seeking Immortals Continent, but some would return home while others put their full attention onto cultivation.

Battles between Empires were common, they schemed, they assassinated, and so on. It was normal for people to have an endless hunger for power. why control one city when you can rule the empire? why control the empire when you could control the whole world

Frosty Hell continent was a forbidden zone. a place where little life existed, those who were capable of surviving in this place were not to be looked down upon. it existed in the upmost north of this world, and opposite it was also another Frosty Hell on the other side of the planet. 

Those who could live there were dangerous, and it is where all of the other races were forced to retreat. The dragons race, phoenix, and so on. all either escaped there or escaped into the sea and joined the sea race. some also entered forbidden zones, but currently, they had all returned seeking revenge 

"how are things going?" within the frosty Hell, within the heart of that world was a forest where a huge gray owl stood while looking at the sky. many races stood before the huge tree which seemed as if it wanted to reach the heavens, from elves to beast man, they were all looking at the owl.

"with the Saint Kings at level 3 joining the battles, our side is being forced back... sigh, that child is something. His movement looks normal, but they are not chained by the movement of fate." The Owl said softly, making everyone's heart heavy. why were the humans so lucky to give birth to such freaks? 

"This is our final battle to survive, if we lose then all of us will die out." the Owl said while looking at everyone. for years It had been seen that there was a super genius who would rival Shi Fang and would be born among the humans... but this newborn didn't even rival Shi Fang, Shi Fang wasn't shit before this 1-year-old baby.

"This one-year-old... we have to slaughter it before it could slaughter us. at first, if we could have swallowed the upper region before the Saint Kings returned, we would have forced them back to the lower region. but now we have to attack the lower region and kill that child before he can kill us all." the Owl said with a heavy heart, the many races gritted their teeth as they knew the powerful experts watching over the child. but if they didn't do this, they could only sit back and wait for the human child to come looking for them to eat.

they knew that kid needed to eat a lot and had been having to search for powerful wild beasts, soon that kid would look at them for food. they had to kill that baby now or else.

"There is no need for that." a calm adorable childish voice sounded from the sky, stunning the many Saint Kings to look up and were stunned to see a carriage which was being pulled by large dragons appear in the sky. those of the dragon race gritted their teeth seeing their kind being used like this, but their pupils shrank sensing how these dragon bloodlines were even purer than their own.

"Your problem seems to be that my hunger would someday grow to a point I would even eat saints, am I wrong?" the Owl jumped in shock as it looked to the side, there Ling Han sat on the tree branch while looking down upon everyone. The owl almost attacked, but a powerful aura made it freeze in horror.

"Y-yes." the Owl said seeing Ling Han looking at it, Ling Han scratched his head slightly before speaking.

"Indeed, thats a problem I have as well. there is a price to being too talented... but you need not worry, as I would no longer be eating from here. I have come today to give you a chance to join my kingdom." I said making them all grit their teeth.

"do you think we would just submit to you just because you have a powerful expert behind you? this is a billion years' worth of hatred, we would not stop until you humans pay." A Large Tiger that had red fur roared at me, 

"what if the benefits outweigh the hatred?" I asked, confusing everyone slightly. but before they could speak, I breathed out, and as my breath hit them, improving their overall capability by a small amount they froze. 

"thats just a simple breath... I understand your hatred and how wrongly you were all treated, but thats the cruel world we all live in. But you all seem to not understand what happened back then." I said while my energy gathered, and before everyone's eyes my energy shot into the sky. everyone looked into the sky and everyone almost jumped seeing the river of time being summoned.

Before everyone's shocked eyes, they watched as something from the river of time was pulled out. images of what took place back then.

there they watched as Shi Fang easily defeated the Beast King with one finger... but that didn't look like the Beast King they knew. No, that was some kind of monster. Like something found in the forest of monsters of Chang Island. the image turned, and everyone was stunned to see how behind Shi Fang stood countless experts of all races. from dragons, phoenixes, elves, and so on. opposite them was the race of the monsters 

"this here is a demon. back then, the humans didn't fight you all and win... no, they fought the demon race. a race from another dimension, but when Shi Fang disappeared from this world, someone stepped forward and used the ability to turn truth into false. this leads the humans, empowered by the power of fate to send you all fleeing." I said leaving everyone stunned unable to believe the scene they were seeing.

"Your survival was part of their plan. the plan was simple. As this genius of the human race is born and rises up to become the second Shi Fang, all races would clash with the humans and slaughter each other. As you all slaughter and weaken each other, it would open the door for a new race to step forward... the spirit race." My words sounded like a boom within everyone's mind, how could they not be shocked, the spirit race was a pure and innocent race without any flaws, how could they do such things?

"All you are doing is simply being pawns for others, but I am here to get you all off this chess game. Join me in my journey, escape the strings of fate. be free." I said softly, making the many races grit their teeth. they were not stupid and could see that what I had shown was the purest image of events that played out. I took an image from time and showed it to them, that couldn't be faked... but to think all of these years they were pawns.

"why? why would they do this?" the Owl asked unable to understand how a pure race like the spirit race could be so... scheming 

"You are all fearing I would feed on you... but it was only the wild beast and sea beast who had to worry about such a thing. the Spirit beasts are hunted by all races. they were too pure and too innocent to know any better, but one of them gained the wisdom needed to protect its people. Herbs that gained wisdom shall always be fated to suffer at the hands of others, ore that gain wisdom are fated to suffer. Qi that gain wisdom are fated to suffer and the list goes on." I said making the Owl and everyone go quiet.

"Herb that gains wisdom is quickly taken and turned into a pill. the spirit is alive through it all, on top of that it's just a newborn. Ore is burned alive, and those unique flames and other similar spirits are devoured. rarely does anyone give these spirits a chance to grow, and even then it's so they could use them. the only way for them to survive is by slaughtering all other races." I said, leaving everyone quiet. through it all, Ling Han was showing images of these innocent spirits suffering at the hands of wild beasts, elves, herbs, and so on.

"At the end of the day, human, wild beast, elves, and demons. You are all the same, this is the understanding you came to understand right?" I asked while looking at the beautiful female elf with heaven-defying looks. everyone looked towards the elf whose eyes were narrowed, 

"Indeed... what are you going to do with me now? are you going to kill me?" the elf asked while looking coldly at me,

"No, I'm willing to offer the spirit race protection. I don't need outside resources to grow stronger. I just need outside resources to grow up until I no longer need them." I said with a smile,

"Why should I trust you?" She asked coldly, to which I just shrugged while standing up.

"Because my word is the unbreakable oath. my word holds so much weight I dare not speak carelessly." I said with a smile, 

"All Spirit in this World, Appear!" At my words which sounded in the ears of all spirits, the elves' pupils shrank as this whole region was filled with spirits from all over.

"Return." At my word, they all disappeared, returning to where they were at a moment ago. the elf's heart was racing as her main body was among the spirit summoned.

"My words hold more weight than the heavens... if I say it, then it's as good as an oath. If I tell you to Die, then you shall die!" At my words, the many races near the elf dropped dead, all of them were Saint Kings. but with them having no power to resist or defend against this power of death, they all dropped dead.

"..." The elf's face was pale white, it was almost like she saw a ghost. just what was she seeing right here?

"If I say Live, then you shall Live," I said as the many Saint Kings who just died took in a deep breath. they all sat up with a stunned look before realizing they just died, horror-filled their eyes, before looking at me

"Who are you?" The elf asked in horror.

"To my family, I'm Ling Han... to you, I'm God," I said with my blue eyes glowing brightly...
