Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16514

Chapter 16512 The Black Sea

In the realm of gods, the hierarchy is actually quite strict. Yes, almost everyone here is immortal because those who reach this level have almost all mastered godhood. Once they possess godhood, they are immortal.

Godhood isn’t a concrete thing; you can understand it as a profound understanding of a certain energy, which forms a godhood. Like Zhao Hai, who mastered the power of runes. As long as there are people in the universe using runes, he will not die—that’s godhood.

But simply being immortal isn’t enough. Immortality isn’t always a good thing. If you’re immortal, your enemies can imprison you and torture you in countless ways. At that point, death becomes your greatest desire, yet you can’t die, not even commit suicide. That’s the most terrifying aspect.

Therefore, even in the realm of gods, you can’t act recklessly, otherwise, you might suffer more than death. This is why the hierarchy in the divine realm is very strict. Generally, lower-level gods dare not provoke higher-level gods, because doing so could lead to a fate worse than death.

Of course, higher-level gods sometimes don’t dare go too far either, because immortality itself represents hope. It’s not unheard of in the divine realm that a higher-level god has imprisoned and tortured a lower-level god, allowing the lower-level god to gradually comprehend a second divine spark, greatly increasing their power, and eventually turning the tables and imprisoning the higher-level god. Therefore, higher-level gods don’t dare go too far, as killing a god is extremely difficult.

The God of Creation is a high-ranking deity, while the Seven Deadly Sins are low-ranking. They also share a common enemy. Therefore, when the God of Creation instructed the God of Gluttony and his allies to deal with Zhao Hai, they immediately agreed. This wasn’t just because they didn’t want to offend the God of Creation, but also because of their deep-seated hatred for Zhao Hai. They needed to eliminate and imprison him before he grew stronger, so they could feel at ease.

While some imprisoned gods might manage to retaliate, they are a minority. It’s precisely because they are few that they are remembered. If all imprisoned gods could retaliate, such events would be forgotten, as they would be far too common.

That’s why the God of Gluttony and the others decided they had to imprison Zhao Hai. This way, Zhao Hai wouldn’t be able to threaten them anymore. After all, they had witnessed Zhao Hai’s strength firsthand. He had just ascended and was already able to use a clone to toy with them without them even noticing. This was enough to demonstrate Zhao Hai’s power. Therefore, they absolutely couldn’t let Zhao Hai grow stronger. Once he did, they might end up being imprisoned by him instead.

Seeing that the God of Creation and the God of Gluttony had agreed so readily, the God of Creation nodded and said, “Alright, Zhao Hai has only just ascended and doesn’t know much about the God Realm. Find him, capture him. If you can’t do it, just notify me directly. Use this to contact me.” After the God of Creation finished speaking, he moved his hand, and in the next instant, a mark flew directly to the God of Gluttony. The God of Gluttony stretched out his hand, and the mark landed directly on his fingernail. The God of Creation then looked at the God of Gluttony and the others, and said in a deep voice, “Don’t let me find out you’re slacking off, otherwise…” He didn’t finish his sentence, only glancing at the God of Gluttony and the others, before his figure vanished.

After the God of Creation left, the God of Gluttony looked at the crystal in his hand that sealed a trace of the God of Creation’s power, then frowned and said, “Right now, we only know roughly where Zhao Hai is. Finding Zhao Hai won’t be an easy task.”

The others all nodded in agreement. Among them, the God of Gluttony was the strongest, so naturally, he would step forward if anything happened. In fact, they were a small alliance, but it was just a small alliance. It didn’t mean that their relationship was particularly good. Their relationship wasn’t that good. For example, the God of Pride was quite disliked, and the God of Envy was also disliked. It could be said that they were just sticking together for warmth, not having any real friendship.

The God of Greed spoke up, “We can search slowly. How can you sleep soundly until you find Zhao Hai and deal with him?”

Hearing this, the others fell silent. Indeed, they wouldn’t be able to sleep until they found and dealt with Zhao Hai. They had a grudge against him, and once he grew stronger, they would be the first to be dealt with. Therefore, they had to strike first.

The God of Gluttony continued, “The God Realm is vast, but fortunately, Zhao Hai has only recently ascended to it and doesn’t know much about it. Now that Zhao Hai has gone in that direction, does anyone know what’s in that direction?”

The others glanced in that direction, and then the God of Lust spoke up, “That direction? I actually know, but you probably won’t like this answer. That direction is towards the Black Sea.”

Hearing this, the expressions of the God of Gluttony and the others changed. The God of Gluttony looked at the God of Lust and asked, “Are you sure?”

The God of Lust remained nonchalant, nodding and saying, “Confirmed, I’ve been there.”

The God of Gluttony said in a deep voice, “Even if it’s the Black Sea, we must go and see. If Zhao Hai is dead, that would be best. If he’s not, then we’ll capture him.”

The others exchanged glances, remaining silent. The God of Gluttony, his eyes narrowed to slits, looked at them and said in a deep voice, “If we can’t confirm whether Zhao Hai is dead or alive, and he really comes back to life in the Black Sea, then we’ll be the ones in trouble. Don’t you know what the Black Sea is?”

The others fell silent, but they didn’t object to going to the Black Sea. In the God Realm, the Black Sea was a very special place; it was a dead land in the God Realm, yet also a living land in the God Kingdom.

This sounded somewhat awkward—a dead land and a living land, so was it dead or alive? That’s all true. Calling it a death trap refers to the environment. The gods in the divine realm are indeed immortal, but they aren’t truly indestructible; they can still die, just more difficult to kill. The most direct and effective way to kill a god in the divine realm is to lure them into a black hole. The black hole will kill them.

Black holes are a special kind of existence in the divine realm—black vortexes existing in space. They are pure black, and anything that gets close will be sucked in, even light. No one knows what happens after entering a black hole, because no one has ever come out of one. In the divine realm, there are many rumors about gods disappearing after being sucked into black holes, but there’s never been a story of a god returning. Therefore, people in the divine realm have always believed that if a god enters a black hole, they are dead.

The Black Sea is a very peculiar place. There are not just one black hole there, but dozens of black holes of varying sizes, distributed over a vast area. The largest black hole is larger than the entire God Kingdom, while the smallest is only the size of a ping-pong ball. And these are just the discovered black holes; there may be many more undiscovered. It is precisely because of the abundance of black holes that the area is called the Black Sea.

It is precisely because there are so many black holes there that the people of the divine realm call it a dead land. The reason it is also called a living land is because there is a space there that is a free trade zone. Don’t think that gods don’t need resources. They also need resources, they also need to trade, and they also need to communicate. However, if you rashly go to trade with other gods, you may be tricked or even killed. Therefore, these gods need a place to trade. The Black Sea is a relatively famous trading place in the divine realm. Many gods go there to trade, so it is also a living land. It is also called the Black Sea Market by the people of the divine realm because it is almost exactly the same as the market in the cultivation world.

But to be honest, that place is also something the gods are wary of. If they trade elsewhere, even if they’re tricked, at worst they might be captured, imprisoned, and tortured, but at least they’d still be alive and have a chance to turn the tables. But in the Black Sea Market, there’s a black hole. If they’re forced into it, they’re dead. So the gods are quite wary of the Black Sea Market.

Gradually, a consensus, an unwritten rule, has formed in the divine realm: no one uses force in the Black Sea Market. It’s too dangerous. If they accidentally get too close to the black hole and it detects their presence, they might be sucked in, and that would be the end of them.

The people in the divine realm still don’t know what a black hole really is. You might think it’s dead, since it can detect people’s presence; you might think it’s alive, since it doesn’t move and has no life force. So no one knows what a black hole is. In short, all the gods know that a black hole is a threat to them.

It is precisely because black holes are so dangerous that people dare not act in the Black Sea. And it is precisely because people dare not act in the Black Sea that the Black Sea Market has become an exceptionally safe market in the realm of gods. Therefore, the saying “the more dangerous the place, the safer it is” is most fitting here.

It is for this reason that the Black Sea is considered a death trap, yet simultaneously a place of life. (End of Chapter)
