My construction materials are weird

"Trash, trash, all of you are trash!" Gege roared furiously.

This vividly demonstrates the influence of the environment on living beings.

Gege, including the ten Sacred Ones, was somewhat red-hot with anger.

Originally, they were the embodiment of the good intentions of beings in the human realm, but with the changes in the Bright Lake Domain, they underwent a transformation.

Upon closer inspection, one would notice that the eyes of Gege and the other nine Sacred Ones, which were once so deep and agile, shining with a gentle light like stars, had changed.

However, as the environment changed, like dark clouds obscuring the moon, a trace of darkness began to invade those bright eyes.

They gradually lost their former brilliance, becoming bottomless, as if devouring all the surrounding light. The space between their eyebrows was no longer a slender and beautiful crescent moon but had solidified into a cold and hard sword's edge, revealing a chilling aura.

The former kindness and gentleness were nowhere to be found, replaced by a hint of sarcasm and arrogance.

Whenever one looked directly into their eyes, they couldn't help but feel a cold wind sweeping over them, and even the piety and reverence that permeated the air became thin.

Their attire was still luxurious, but upon closer inspection, the exquisite patterns seemed to be gradually twisting, as if affected by some evil force, beginning to deform.

The cloud patterns on their robes became menacing, as if they would come to life and devour souls at any moment.

Did the environment change their state of mind, or did their state of mind transform the environment?

The palace, originally surrounded by immortal energy, was now shrouded in a layer of eerie demonic energy.

In the palace, the images of divine beasts on the carved beams and painted rafters became blurred, as if eroded by some force, becoming unrecognizable.

Like fallen Sacred Ones, they were stepping towards the abyss, their eyes having lost their initial steadfastness and love, leaving only unfathomable darkness and madness.

"Everyone wants us dead, haha, everyone wants us dead!"

Gege, a little demonically possessed, roared madly.

It could also be said to be a roar of near despair.

It wasn't that she hadn't asked for help, but no domain came to offer support.

It was too special; located in the center of Nanshi, it was the base camp of Xuan Huang Daoren. Which domain dared to come?

Moreover, with Gege's level, it was difficult to befriend top-tier domains. Even large domains didn't give her a second glance.

Non-top-tier domains couldn't send their Sacred Ones out at this moment; even if they wanted to help, they couldn't, as no one was willing to go mad with Gege.

But what did the other domains think after hearing this?

They looked at her as if she were crazy, and it was clear that no domain would do that.

Gege felt abandoned, betrayed by her own kind.

But she didn't consider that her position was too special.

"Your Excellency, we, we..." the Toad Sacred One asked cautiously.

"There's no hope. Prepare to become wandering Sacred Ones; I have no way to help you."

At that moment, Gege calmed down instead, perhaps because a broken heart is worse than a dead heart.

"Ah, this?!" The other nine Sacred Ones panicked.

Wandering Sacred Ones are like vagrant gods and unowned spirits.

As everyone knows, a god with their own territory, even if they are just a small local Earth God, represents having their own base and foundation.

As long as they guard their home, they can at least make a living.

Vagrant gods are different; they are homeless, wandering around, without the protection of their own divine domain and without formal recognition from the heavens and earth.

Such gods are pitiful, with the constant threat of extinction.

But the wandering here is not quite the same as being a vagrant god.

After all, this is a world where the will of heaven is distorted, the rules are broken, and the laws are incomplete.

Without the normal operation of the heavenly Dao, gods need the suppression of a specific domain's small heavenly will.

Even wanting to be a vagrant god is impossible.

They can only wander, and the wandering here is like 'marrying into' another domain, thereby gaining their protection.

Wandering Sacred Ones are not nurtured by this domain; they are like not being their own flesh and blood, so they do not receive the treatment of normal Sacred Ones.

For example, whatever you are when you come is what you will remain; don't expect the domain you join to replenish and nurture you again.

Not only that, but they also need to pay a certain price, which is that the domain will control their origin.

Becoming an existence that is not a puppet but is even worse than one.

And the domain that is joined will be strengthened as a result, not only because the wandering Sacred One brings capital to invest but also because it obtains the changes of other domains.

It is equivalent to swallowing another domain, which will naturally strengthen itself.

This is the difference between them and vagrant gods in a perfect world.

Therefore...

This is a big secret: domains can also grow by devouring each other, and the Sacred Ones in the domain will also grow with the growth of the domain.

Sacred Ones don't necessarily die when they leave their own domain; they can transfer to other domains as wandering Sacred Ones.

These two secrets are not known in the human world.

This is caused by the environment. If there were no people like Xuan Huang and no spirit masters, the secrets would surely be spread if a single domain became too powerful.

After all, what if others knew?

Could it pose a threat to me?

Obviously not.

But the Blue Star Holy Land is different; not only are there spirit masters, but there are also cultivators led by Xuan Huang.

The Sacred Ones took a look and saw that the scene was different from what they had expected.

Heavenly will dictated that they were the hope of the Blue Star beings, their guardian gods, their protectors.

But the style wasn't right!

Although this wasn't emphasized, this was the situation when the domains emerged at the ten-year node.

It's just that the domains hid it well, and no Sacred One was foolish enough to tell their panic to the cultivators and spirit masters.

This is also why the domains and Xuan Huang are mortal enemies; many reasons cannot be explained because they don't make sense.

Later, many domains organized together, wanting to destroy Xuan Huang's forces, but they found it useless.

This is the origin of the three major battlefields and the strange投放 before.

Of course, it was also related to Qiao Liangyu's matchmaking before.

Xuan Huang, representing the cultivators, and the domains, representing the Sacred Ones, are the cause and effect.

And at this moment, the Sacred Ones of the Bright Lake Domain have revealed many secrets.

That is, domains can devour each other, and Sacred Ones can also transfer to other domains as wandering Sacred Ones after making a choice.

Obviously, Gege has given up on the Bright Lake Domain.

Originally, she had a great future. Although it wasn't a large top-tier domain, it was considered a medium-sized domain, and she could have the level of a fifth-order Venerable upon birth.

But now...

"Your Excellency, should we join..." the Carp Sacred One asked.

"Don't call me Your Excellency; just call me Gege. There are currently several choices; you can also consider them. One is the Weishan Domain, one is the Yinxu Domain, one is the Naihe Domain, and one is the Yinshan Domain."

Gege now has a new self-awareness.

Not letting her subordinates call her Your Excellency is obviously preparing for wandering.

If she joins other domains and relies on others, it would be dangerous if her subordinates still addressed her that way.

"Yes!"

The nine nodded in agreement, but they ignored Gege's change and instead thought about which domain to join.

In the face of a life-or-death crisis, changing the form of address is not important at all.

"The Naihe Realm is a medium-sized realm, located on the Naihe Bridge at the foot of Mount Tai. Calling it the Naihe Realm is really gilding the lily. Everyone knows that the real Naihe Yellow Springs are located in the depths of Mount Tai. That is where the Seven Heavens Yellow Springs are located. I don't think this place is suitable for us."

One of the lotus flower demons said.

"That's right, the Weishan Realm is more suitable for us. The environment here is very similar to ours, and it's farther away from Nanshi. I think this place is good."

Another lotus flower demon also solemnly agreed.

"Not appropriate, not appropriate. They are all medium-sized realms. Let's go to Yin Ruins or Yin Mountain. These are large realms. Even if we seek refuge, we should choose a strong one. Actually…"

A ghost-type sacred being, similar to Gege, said:

"Actually, it would be even better if the Mount Tai Realm could accept us. The Yellow River Realm is also good, both are top-tier realms, but alas!"

The male ghost sacred being said regretfully.

It could be seen that they were all planning for themselves.

Without error, one song, one release, one inner, one content, one in, one look!

The Naihe Realm or the Weishan Realm are both beneficial to water-based creatures. Lotus toads and carp all like to go there.

While ghost-types hope to go to Yin Mountain or Yin Ruins, as these are their 'own kind'.

Only the willow tree remained silent, any place would do, it could survive anywhere.

"What Fellow Daoist said makes some sense, and Yin Ruins and Yin Mountain seem to be farther away."

The old tortoise slowly said after their argument.

"This?"

Hearing this, the three lotus flowers, as well as the carp and toad, fell silent.

Some things cannot be said explicitly, but they knew what it meant.

The so-called 'farther away' was saying that it was far away from the evil star, Profound Yellow Daoist.

This point was very important. Although they had no contact with Profound Yellow, their anger and fear towards the Profound Yellow Daoist were directly proportional.

The more anger there was, the more fear there was.

They really didn't want to deal with this evil star anymore, the farther away the better.

"Lord Gege, are there any farther away?"

The carp sacred being asked.

"No, this is the farthest distance we can transmit to. It is also the farthest realm we have established contact with. Any farther and we have no connection and don't know each other, it won't work."

Gege said.

"Alas!"

The old tortoise sighed.

This was also a regret.

Defecting to other realms, as long as the sacred beings of that realm weren't stupid, they would agree.

This was equivalent to devouring a realm.

Although it wasn't a perfect, 100% absorption, the defection of sacred beings represented at least 30% of the essence, or even half.

It was equivalent to strengthening their own realm by more than 30% of the Bright Lake Realm.

Therefore, they would all agree.

These wandering sacred beings couldn't threaten them, and even because of their joining, the foundation of their realm would be improved, and they would become stronger.

There were only benefits, and no disadvantages.

Whether it was the realm consciousness or the sacred beings in the realm, none would disagree.

Gege confidently stated these names for this reason.

She didn't believe that any realm would refuse.

The old tortoise's regret was that, among the realms they knew, there were none farther away from the Profound Yellow Daoist's dojo.

The best was the kind of distance where they would never meet.

Even a place where the name of the Profound Yellow Daoist was not circulated would be best. Even if they became wandering gods, they could soothe their feelings a little.

Hearing about Profound Yellow made them uneasy.

"Let's go to Yin Mountain! Not only is it farther away from the Profound Yellow Daoist, but it is also more stable. I heard that the Yin Ruins Realm has a great hatred with the Profound Yellow Daoist, and…"

The old tortoise carefully said: "Rumor has it that the reason why the Profound Yellow Daoist is averse to realms is because he was insulted by a divine general in the Yin Ruins Realm, so… you understand!"

The old tortoise's words made them think differently.

Some didn't care, after all, even if the Yin Ruins Realm didn't offend Profound Yellow, the cultivators represented by the Profound Yellow Daoist and the sacred beings of the realm were still irreconcilable. This was a conflict of principles.

While others were depressed, depressed that the Yin Ruins Realm had offended the Profound Yellow Daoist, causing the Profound Yellow Daoist to vent his anger on them.

They believed that the decline of their realm must be the work of the Profound Yellow Daoist manipulating the luck of cultivators.

Of course, saying that the Profound Yellow Daoist controlled luck, even the luck of cultivators, was overestimating the Profound Yellow Daoist.

Luck, even if it belongs to you, is not something you can control.

Sacred beings also have their own luck, if they could control it, why would things be like this?

However, as the source of cultivator luck, the Profound Yellow Daoist's dislike of realms would affect cultivator luck, leading to luck repelling and antagonizing realms.

Although he couldn't personally control it, the Profound Yellow Daoist's likes and dislikes were crucial.

Saying that the Profound Yellow Daoist was targeting them was also understandable.

Everyone had their own thoughts, and they were all understandable.

"Then let's go to Yin Mountain!"

The leader of the lotus flower demons looked at his two brothers, as well as the carp, and said.

Yin Mountain was far away from the Profound Yellow Daoist, and it was also very low-key, which was too important.

The benefits of being far away need not be said, the reason why they liked being low-key was because they were afraid of being too high-profile and provoking the Profound Yellow Daoist. They might have to continue defecting to other realms.

They couldn't bear it, they really couldn't bear it.

They didn't want to be slaves of three families.

If they were too high-profile and constantly provoked the Profound Yellow Daoist and other enemies, they would eventually perish.

Sacred beings were originally proud and arrogant, the favored children of heaven and earth, the good camp that confronted the strange.

They were beings of light and greatness.

But here, they had been tormented by Profound Yellow until they had no spirit left, only wanting to live well.

What was even more painful was not being directly defeated by Profound Yellow, but declining without Profound Yellow knowing.

Could there be anything more miserable than this?

Being eliminated, but it had nothing to do with you.

Just like what the male ghost-type sacred being said before, it would be good if the Yellow River Realm or the Mount Tai Realm could accept them.

This was just a fantasy, not to be taken seriously.

These two realms were top-tier realms, the top-tier among the top-tier. Only the first realm of Daoism, the first realm of Buddhism, and the two realms of the Civil and Military Temples were a little stronger than these two.

It was said that these two were on good terms with the Profound Yellow Daoist, so they would not accept them.

No wonder they were top-tier realms, their choices alone were different.

They didn't know why these top-tier realms did this?

Was there really a way to progress without relying on believers, without plundering faith, without raising living beings to collect incense?

Was this the foundation of top-tier realms?

Or were they also helpless, wanting to devour these realms to progress?

They couldn't understand.

The gap in levels, they couldn't understand.

It would be good if such a realm accepted them. At least it wouldn't be a failure, and they might be lucky enough to obtain a method to progress without relying on faith?

"Alright, Yin Mountain Realm!"

Seeing that his subordinates had made their choice, Gege said.
