Chapter 1441: Siege

Those at the Heavenly Venerable level already had impressions of Heavenly God Hao Han. After all, they were from the older generation of disciples who had now broken through to the Heavenly Venerable realm. In fact, even back when they were at the God Monarch level, some had already recognized him.

Back then, Heavenly God Hao Han had an extremely prominent reputation here, and many still remembered him. However, as generations changed, new disciples emerged like bamboo shoots after the rain. Naturally, many of the newer ones no longer knew who Hao Han was.

Yet those who did know him were extremely disdainful of his theories. They believed there was no reason to distribute resources to those with mediocre talent. Even if resources were to be given, only a small portion should be allocated—special treatment was absolutely out of the question.

This was simply how the Xiutian God Domain operated. Those with average talent were destined to cultivate only in designated areas. No matter how hard they worked, no matter how well they performed, they would never be given superior cultivation environments.

For example, those with good talent could cultivate beside fifth-grade cores, while those with average talent could only remain around third-grade cores or below. That was the difference. No matter how hard they tried, even if they defeated some geniuses, they still had no chance of turning their fate around.

In the end, once talent was confirmed, one’s future was essentially sealed. Without good resources, let alone soaring upward—even breaking through realms would already be considered fortunate.

Not to mention those with mediocre talent—even geniuses, without resources, would still be forced to kneel! Cultivation was like eating: if you couldn’t even fill your stomach, how could you have the strength to fight?

The words spoken here were as unpleasant as possible. They didn’t dare curse Heavenly God Hao Han—nor did they have the qualifications to do so. No matter what, he was still a Heavenly God. Who would dare openly insult him?

However, they showed no restraint in mocking his ideology, considering it outright idiotic. If Heavenly God Hao Han hadn’t successfully broken through to the Heavenly God realm, he would have long been cursed to oblivion.

Faced with such harsh voices, Heavenly God Hao Han remained calm and indifferent, completely ignoring their discussions. Over the years, he had heard these same words countless times.

“This atmosphere must be changed. If this continues, the Xiutian God Domain will inevitably run into major problems!”

Yi Tianyun frowned. Under such extreme polarization, those with mediocre talent could easily revolt. Once gathered together, they would become a fuse—when ignited, chaos would erupt within the Xiutian God Domain.

When mutual resentment festered, talk of unity was meaningless. Perhaps this was precisely why Heavenly God Hao Han chose to leave—to seek a truly convincing solution to reform the Xiutian God Domain.

His departure had always been for the sake of the Xiutian God Domain. As the Domain Lord’s son, how could he possibly ignore it?

Amid the noisy discussions, they finally arrived at the foremost grand hall. This place was empty—silent and vast.

“They’re already on their way. I hope your performance later won’t disappoint me,” Heavenly God Leng Yan said as he stepped aside, signaling Heavenly God Hao Han to wait.

Moments later, figures entered through the side passages. All of them possessed cultivation at high-stage Heavenly Venerable or above. In the Xiutian God Domain, only those at this level held any real authority—roughly equivalent to steward-level figures who could manage large regions.

To become an elder required late-stage high Heavenly Venerable cultivation or reaching the Heavenly God realm. There were also rare exceptions—those with extraordinary traits could be specially promoted.

As they entered, all gazes focused on Heavenly God Hao Han. Some expressions were complicated, some filled with disdain, and others clearly reveled in schadenfreude.

There was no denying that Hao Han becoming a Heavenly God put pressure on them—but that was one matter. In the end, hadn’t he still come back? No matter how strong he was, he was still just one person.

What they loved most was seeing the once-proud Heavenly God Hao Han being suppressed, unable to turn things around.

After all, no one believed in his theories. Investing heavily in those with mediocre talent was, in their eyes, a complete waste of resources. Everyone wanted more resources—why should they be forced to give them away?

“Fourth Elder, long time no see. Are these five the disciples you brought back as proof?”

A Heavenly God walked forward slowly, his gaze toward Yi Tianyun’s group filled with contempt.

“Second Elder, it has indeed been a long time,” Heavenly God Hao Han replied firmly.

“They are my disciples—and they are more than enough to serve as proof.”

“Oh? They do look decent,” the Second Elder sneered.

“Four Heavenly Venerables and one God Monarch. Only two are passable. As for the rest…”

He paused before adding coldly, “They’re not worth looking at.”

In their eyes, without reaching high Heavenly Venerable level, one couldn’t be called trash—but when compared to Hao Han’s bold claims, they seemed utterly inadequate.

Before leaving, Heavenly God Hao Han had declared that after ten thousand years, the disciples he brought back would crush all geniuses, regardless of realm—crush them completely.

If not for that statement, bringing back so many Heavenly Venerables would already be impressive. Some even felt it was a pity—if these disciples truly had mediocre talent yet reached such realms, what if they had been true geniuses? They might already be late-stage Heavenly Venerables, perhaps even on the verge of becoming Heavenly Gods!

But Hao Han was no fool. He had seen far too many geniuses fall—unable to even break through to Heavenly Venerable. Did they really think Heavenly Venerables and Heavenly Gods grew on trees?

“Whether they’re worth looking at or not—you’ll know soon enough,” Heavenly God Hao Han replied calmly, unfazed by the mockery.

“I agree. Not worth much,” another Heavenly God stepped forward, his gaze icy.

“This answer sheet is disappointing. Their cultivation is too weak—we can’t even judge their true talent. And there’s one more thing that deeply displeases us.”

His voice hardened.

“When we intended to take over a new God Domain, why did you refuse?”

This was an extremely serious issue. At the end of the day, Heavenly God Hao Han still belonged to the Xiutian God Domain. Life or death—he was bound to it.

Some claimed he had been expelled, but in truth, he had never been formally removed. He had merely left to pursue his own convictions—nothing more than a stubborn departure, not true severance.

The Xiutian God Domain was ruthless. Anyone wishing to leave for real had only one option—cripple all cultivation, then roll away.

“Because that God Domain is not my power,” Heavenly God Hao Han said coldly.

“It belongs to my disciples.”
