Chapter 1442: Dispute
Chapter 1442: Dispute
Heavenly God Hao Han retorted sharply. In the first place, the Three Realms God Domain belonged to Yi Tianyun, so it could not be considered his own faction at all.
“A joke! Your disciple’s faction is still your faction, isn’t it?”
The one who stepped forward to speak was none other than the Great Elder.
“That is your standard, not mine.” Heavenly God Hao Han replied calmly. “I never interfere with my disciples’ factions. They are built by their own hands. If I were to intervene casually, I would only end up destroying the original order.”
He paused, then continued flatly, “Besides, taking things from my disciples at will—I still want to keep some dignity.”
The Great Elder and the others all sharpened their gazes. Such a huge piece of fat meat was something they truly did not want to give up. Yet Hao Han’s words were like slaps to their faces.
Taking your disciple’s possessions—do you really have the nerve? Do you still want your old face?
“Fourth Elder, you’re insulting people!” the Great Elder roared.
“Insulting?” Heavenly God Hao Han replied indifferently. “Who did I insult? I only stated my principles. Could it be that all of you casually demand things from your own disciples? In my view, unless a disciple offers it willingly, I will never take even a single thing from them.”
His words carried deeper meaning. He was not only protecting the Three Realms God Domain, but also stating his own code of conduct.
This was not said just to provoke them. From the moment he first arrived at the Three Realms God Domain, he had already made it clear—he would never interfere in any of its affairs unless Yi Tianyun himself handed the faction over to him.
With these words, they were instantly left speechless. Many of their own disciples were present, and as they entered, even more genius disciples continued to gather from other divine halls.
The great hall quickly filled with people. If they admitted to forcibly taking things from their own disciples, they would truly lose all face.
Within the Cultivation God Domain, disciples were strongly encouraged to establish their own factions outside. If those factions showed promise, could they really be seized and taken over at will? Who would be willing to hand over something they had worked so hard to build?
Even one’s own master had no right to forcibly take it.
Thus, the Great Elder and the others fell silent for a moment, yet they still could not bring themselves to give up this tempting prize.
Yi Tianyun smiled faintly from the side. Heavenly God Hao Han was truly formidable—one sentence was enough to shut them all down.
Just as they were about to say something else, a guard suddenly shouted loudly:
“Welcome, Cultivation Heaven Domain Lord and Domain Lady!”
Everyone’s gaze immediately shifted. Soon after, the Cultivation Heaven Domain Lord and the Domain Lady slowly walked out from a side passage. With every step, they seemed to merge with heaven and earth, exuding the overwhelming pressure of supreme rulers.
Heavenly God Hao Han did indeed resemble the Cultivation Heaven Domain Lord somewhat. The Domain Lord’s cultivation had reached mid-stage Middle Heavenly God, an astonishing level considering how difficult it was to advance further at that realm.
The Domain Lady’s cultivation was slightly lower, at early-stage Lower Heavenly God, but she was still undeniably a Heavenly God. How could the child of two Heavenly Gods be ordinary?
As soon as they appeared, countless disciples immediately knelt.
“Greetings, Cultivation Heaven Domain Lord and Domain Lady!”
A vast crowd dropped to one knee. Everyone below the Heavenly Venerable realm had to kneel, while even Heavenly Venerables bowed respectfully.
Just as everything proceeded smoothly, a furious shout rang out from the side:
“How dare you! You see the Domain Lord and still refuse to kneel!”
The one shouting was none other than the Second Elder. He pointed angrily at Yi Tianyun, roaring that all below Heavenly Venerable must kneel.
Yi Tianyun was only at the God Monarch realm, so by their rules, he should kneel.
“Kneel?” Yi Tianyun smiled lightly. “I only kneel to my parents and my master. Besides, I am not a disciple of the Cultivation God Domain—why should I kneel?”
This was not arrogance, but principle. If he had to kneel every time he met a Heavenly God while traveling outside, where would his dignity be? Others might fear them, but he would not.
“Kneel!”
The Second Elder roared, slamming a palm down, trying to forcibly press Yi Tianyun to the ground.
Just as the power descended, Heavenly God Hao Han stepped in front of Yi Tianyun and casually waved his hand, dispersing the force.
“My disciple is right,” Heavenly God Hao Han said calmly. “He is not a disciple of the Cultivation God Domain, so he has no obligation to kneel. Moreover, I believe he is qualified to stand.”
“Oh? Qualified to stand?”
The Second Elder’s face darkened. “That’s quite arrogant. A mere God Monarch—what qualifications does he have to stand?”
It was clearly not about rules anymore. He was simply using the excuse to target Heavenly God Hao Han.
“Because he is the newly risen God Domain Lord,” Heavenly God Hao Han said steadily. “He won the God Domain War. His faction is a Fourth-Grade God Domain, the same rank as the Cultivation God Domain. By status alone, he stands on equal footing.”
His words were bold—but not wrong. A Fourth-Grade God Domain Lord was, in status, equivalent to the Cultivation Heaven Domain Lord. The only difference lay in cultivation, which was worlds apart.
“A God Monarch… a Domain Lord?”
The Second Elder burst into laughter. “This is ridiculous. Has the outer God Domain War really fallen to such a pathetic state?”
“It truly has,” Heavenly God Hao Han replied lightly. “Dozens of Heavenly Venerables died in that war—many of them at his hands. Quite a few even came from inner God Domains. In other words, that would imply that the inner God Domain’s Heavenly Venerables are also… quite pathetic.”
The hall fell silent.
“Fourth Elder, even if you want to prove yourself, you shouldn’t exaggerate like this,” the Second Elder sneered. “A God Monarch killing Heavenly Venerables? Even our most monstrous geniuses can do it—but not easily!”
“Enough.”
The Cultivation Heaven Domain Lord finally spoke from above, his voice deep and heavy.
“This is not the time for arguments. Whether it is true or false will be proven by results.”
Both the Cultivation Heaven Domain Lord and the Domain Lady looked at their son. Though they said nothing, concern lingered in their hearts.
The Domain Lord’s expression was colder—he leaned toward the genius-focused path—but that did not mean he did not care for Heavenly God Hao Han. More than anything, he hoped his son would realize his path was wrong and turn back in time.
