Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16540
16538. Chapter 16538 Buddha City
Are there cities in the God Realm?
The answer is yes, but very few. The God Realm is an interface filled with spiritual energy, but besides spiritual energy, there is nothing else. Therefore, building a city here is extremely difficult. Only those veteran creator gods or primordial gods could possibly build a city. As for cosmic gods, they only exist in legends and no one has ever seen them.
The Skeleton God is a creator god, but he doesn’t have the ability to build a city himself. He can only build a skeleton kingdom, which is already quite remarkable. There are very few gods in the God Realm who can build such a city.
The God Realm is extremely vast. Even with the abilities of gods, no one can know its true size, let alone how many gods reside there. Gods are immortal, meaning that since the day the God Realm came into being, gods have been constantly ascending to it, and no one has died. Therefore, even the primordial gods of the God Realm don’t know the exact number of gods there.
Therefore, finding a god is no easy task. What’s most terrifying is that in the divine realm, there might be two gods who have comprehended the same law. For example, there might be more than one Castle God. However, because the two Castle Gods are likely too far apart, they will never meet. This means that it will be extremely difficult for the Skeleton God to find the God of Creation. It’s even possible that the God of Creation he finds might not be Zhao Hai’s enemy.
Another possibility that increases the difficulty is that the God of Creation might be a false name. Many gods, fearing being killed by curses, not only refuse to reveal their true names but also the laws they have comprehended. Therefore, the God of Creation might not have comprehended the power of creation at all, but some other law. This would make it even more difficult for the Skeleton God to find the God of Creation.
However, under normal circumstances, the major cities in the God Realm are where the most people live, and also where it’s easiest to gather information. Therefore, the Skeleton God planned to go to a major city relatively close to them to inquire about the God of Creation.
The reason the Skeleton God wanted to find the God of Creation was truly for Zhao Hai’s sake. The God of Creation and the others might not know how powerful Zhao Hai’s array formation techniques were, but the Skeleton God did. The reason the Skeleton God wanted to help Zhao Hai was because he valued Zhao Hai’s array formation techniques. The Skeleton God was very clear about how important someone skilled in array formation techniques was in the God Realm. If Zhao Hai could help him, then perhaps his own major city could be built sooner than expected.
Why would a god build a great city? There are two main reasons. First, it’s about power. The larger the city, the more believers it can accommodate, and the faster the god’s power increases. Second, it’s about profit. Building a city isn’t just about looking imposing. In the divine realm, every great city represents enormous profit because everything in a great city costs money.
For example, the Skeleton God charges a fee to even stop his skeletal kingdom outside the city. He has to pay to enter, eat, and stay inside. If you want to trade within the city, you also have to pay. In short, once a great city is built, the builders don’t need to do anything but collect fees.
The closest great city to the Skeleton God’s region is called Buddha City. This city was built by a Buddha—who, of course, calls himself Buddha—and the city he built is called Buddha City.
The main reason the Skeleton God went to Buddha City was to find the God of Creation. The Skeleton God knew this from his conversation with Zhao Hai; the God of Creation had gone to the Black Sea to look for Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai, who had just ascended, might not know this, but the Skeleton God was very clear: in the God Realm, even a god couldn’t go wherever they wanted—it was simply impossible.
In the God Realm, only large cities had teleportation arrays, and even those were rarely used because they were practically unusable. The Skeleton God had his own divine kingdom, and he could build a teleportation array within it, directly connecting to Buddha City. But who would use it? Would the Skeleton God use it? Under normal circumstances, he wouldn’t leave his own divine kingdom. If he wanted to go to the Buddha City, he would only travel there using his skeletal divine kingdom, not using a teleportation array. This is because if he actually used a teleportation array, it would be equivalent to leaving his own divine kingdom. Once he leaves his divine kingdom, his strength will decrease, and his control over his divine status will disappear, which would make him very uneasy. In the divine realm, there have indeed been instances where people left their divine kingdoms only to have others seize them. Therefore, under normal circumstances, gods with divine kingdoms don’t leave them, or at least not too far away.
People like the Skeleton God, who have divine kingdoms, don’t use teleportation arrays, while those like the Pine Forest, who don’t have their own divine kingdoms, cannot use teleportation arrays because they don’t even have their own divine kingdoms. Without a teleportation array, they obviously cannot use one.
Therefore, although there is a teleportation array in Buddha City, very few people use it. Without the teleportation array, they have to fly wherever they want to go. While they could use divine powers, the God Realm is simply too vast. There’s no way to connect two cities with a teleportation array, and even using divine light would take a very long time. So, generally, in the God Realm, cities are the center, with many gods living around them. These gods don’t live too far from their cities; generally, they don’t fly more than three months’ distance away. In other words, if you start from a city and fly outwards for three months, that distance is generally the area where most gods live. Black Sea
, on the other hand, can be considered a different kind of city. It guarantees safety, and people can trade there. Black Sea has the two most important functions of a city, so many cultivators live around it. Of course, the distance between Black Sea and Buddha City is also very short; it only takes about two months to fly from Black Sea to Buddha City.
That means if the God of Creation can go to the Black Sea, then he must be living in the Buddha City’s sphere of influence. If he lives in Buddha City, then the Skeleton God might be able to find out about the God of Creation by going there.
Of course, the Skeleton God might not find out anything, but in his view, the risk is worthwhile. If he really helps Zhao Hai resolve the God of Creation’s matter, Zhao Hai will definitely be grateful, and then asking Zhao Hai for help again won’t be a problem.
In the God Realm, if there’s anything worthless, it’s probably time. Almost all gods are immortal, so time is truly worthless to them. For the Skeleton God, wasting months or even years to deal with the God of Creation and then getting closer to Zhao Hai and becoming his friend is worthwhile. That’s why the Skeleton God wants to go to Buddha City.
He’s going to Buddha City for the God of Creation, to resolve the God of Creation, and to befriend Zhao Hai—that’s his goal. What’s a little wasted time for that?
Just as the Skeleton God went to the Buddha City, the God of Creation also arrived there. However, he looked completely different from when Zhao Hai first met him. He now looked very inconspicuous, like an ordinary low-level god. His appearance was unremarkable, and he had nothing special about him. Even if Zhao Hai stood in front of him, he would not be able to recognize him without his aura.
The God of Creation is a Celestial Immortal-level expert. He has his own divine kingdom with believers, but it is not a magical artifact. Therefore, his divine kingdom is not far from the Buddha City. This allows him to purchase supplies and gather information there. Because of its proximity, he doesn’t need to worry about his divine kingdom being attacked when he goes there, as it is protected by a magical array. Moreover, his proximity allows him to control his divine kingdom without fear of it being stolen. Therefore, he frequently visits the Buddha City. Of course, he doesn’t stay there for long; he always returns to his divine kingdom immediately after completing his business there.
The main reason the God of Creation kept causing trouble for Zhao Hai was that he had originally planned to build his own magical artifact. In other words, he wanted to upgrade his fixed divine kingdom into a magical artifact. However, the most crucial element for upgrading a divine kingdom into a magical artifact was metal. Metal was a scarce resource in the divine realm, yet it was also the most needed resource.
Everyone wanted metal because they wanted to transform their divine kingdoms into mobile magical artifacts, which required metal. Even magical artifacts like castles required metal, and in considerable quantities. Therefore, metal was extremely important.
When a god desires metal, he typically has his followers collect it for him. The God of Creation, in order to have the Creation Cult collect more and higher-grade metals for him, endured a long period without receiving any metals from them. Just as the Creation Cult had collected a considerable amount of metal and was preparing to send it to him, Zhao Hai and his group destroyed the Creation Cult. This completely disrupted the God of Creation’s plans, rendering his ambition to upgrade his divine kingdom futile. This is why the God of Creation hates Zhao Hai so much; Zhao Hai essentially rendered decades of his efforts futile. That’s why he hates Zhao Hai and has always wanted to deal with him, but unfortunately, he has never succeeded. (End of Chapter)
