Chapter 259: Chapter 260: Governing System

"No, what it defends us against are high-rank alien species known as the God Clan, although we, the Huaxia People, normally call them the Demon Kingdom. Long ago, all the lands were territories of the Demon Kingdom - a vast nation that was then obliterated by the emerging Taoism Gate."

"During that enormous war for the survival of the races, the Demon Kingdom opened the entrance to the seven Hells of Huaxia, while the Immortals of Taoism Gate divided a fortress into seven different fortresses, each suppressing an entrance to hell."

Chu You found this story fascinating. It unveiled an aspect he hadn’t encountered in his previous life because he hadn’t ever seized a governing fortress."

"Are you implying that our current fortress was once just a part of another fortress?"

Shànguān Xū nodded with a smile, admiration in his eyes, "The Marquis is indeed extraordinarily insightful."

"This is not too hard to guess, and the story is interesting."

"Interesting? When you dismantle a nation, you might unveil the truth. But the process is far from easy; you’ll face obstacles."

"Are you implying that the Court is reluctant to see the rise of our Cultivation World?!" He enquired, with a definite tone.

Shànguān Xū was surprised upon hearing this.

"You astound me."

What’s so astounding? Players are inherently opposed to the native inhabitants. Their goal is to overthrow everything ruled by these natives and become the dominant race in Celestial World.

With that thought, Chu You opened his mouth in astonishment.

"Marquis, what’s the matter?"

"Oh, nothing. I just realized that our Cultivation World has been used as a tool, hence my earlier comment." What surprised him was how closely the player’s image resembled the emerging Taoism Gate that Shànguān Xū had described.

When the Demon Kingdom ruled the land, the Taoism Gate was considered insignificant, just like how players are now viewed as insignificant under the rule of the Taoism Gate.

Had he grasped something? Radically shaking his head, he dismissed this sudden delusion.

"Used as tools? Cultivation Daoists, Marquis, as an official appointed by the Court, I really want to share your words with the Yan Emperor."

"Haha, feel free, as long as he believes it!"

"Haha, Marquis, you’re the most unique person I’ve ever met. Are all of you from the Cultivation World like this?"

"NO, many of them behave so foolishly it could make one cry."

While speaking, Chu You looked around. Each building resembled a palace, not built on flat ground, but constructed atop a main structure like colossal palaces. It was described as towering because it looked like a mountain that had been transformed into a fortress. It could also be seen as a massive castle-style fortress."

The two men were now headed upwards.

"Marquis, the palaces you see now have existed since ancient times, each endowed with divinity."

In Chu You’s sight, these colossal palaces looked like vast underground palaces, lifeless, their interiors pitch black as if ready to swallow anyone whole.

"Are we heading to the top?"

"No, The Taoist Jade Seal is kept inside the Taoism Palace, which is within the main palace."

Shortly after, under the guidance of Shànguān Xū, the two did not enter any other palace, but instead went directly into the main structure. Upon entering, Chu You felt insignificant, like an ant. The interior was vast and empty, and the atmosphere oppressive.

Looking up, he couldn’t even see the ceiling.

"The God’s Niche is supposed to be here, your token is needed to summon it." Shànguān Xū stood within a square formation adorned with patterns, then stepped back.

Chu You stepped into the centre, then took out the Taoist Jade Seal.

When this divine item appeared, the patterns on the ground instantly emitted a green light, accompanied by a ringing sound.

The pattern expanded as if imbued with vitality. It started sketching rapidly around, and when it reached the edges, it traced upwards with incredible speed. The process of sketching was accompanied by the release of green light.

This phenomenon was incredibly swift. Chu You didn’t even wait for 30 seconds before the entire palace was bathed in light.

Chu You finally saw what was at the top - a massive eye pattern.

A green stone brick on the floor suddenly stood upright, revealing the God’s Niche beneath it. The God’s Niche stopped ascending once it reached the height of Chu You’s hand that held the Taoist Jade Seal.

The God’s Niche appeared to be made of precious redwood, decorated with carvings of mythical animals. The interior of the Niche had an open box without a lid.

Seeing this, Chu You knew what to do next and slowly placed the Taoist Jade Seal inside.

In an instant, as though awakening a soul, the entire fortress shuddered, and the God’s Niche surged with light.

Simultaneously, a beam of light shot out from the gigantic eye at the top of the palace, shattering the green stone brick, leaving the God’s Niche fully exposed. The beam penetrated into the God’s Niche.

After about 10 seconds, Chu You felt an inexplicable divine power descend upon him, bringing a sense of comfort.

The fortress shuddered once more before coming to a halt, and the massive eye at the palace’s peak ceased its beam. Four stone pedestals rose simultaneously from the four corners centered around the God’s Niche until they stood three meters high. Chu You realized these were four stone guardians.

Just then, a golden notification appeared, attracting all the players’ attention.
