Outside Rogo’s Camp.
“Luhn, I keep feeling that you’re still hiding a secret! There’s even a layer of destiny’s fog on your body that’s still unable to be seen clearly…”
Willa’s true body appeared and suddenly walked forward one step across space, arriving at a splendid and magnificent temple.
This temple had an unparalleled resplendence and existed within the small gap between reality and fantasy.
Its huge door was grand and vast, carrying a dignified feel.
Other than Gods, nobody else could open it.
Willa walked forward and pushed lightly. The door opened with a bang and revealed Gods sitting in a circle.
A God Throne representing Harvest emitted an intense glow and corresponded to other eight seats. The seats were arranged in a small circle, and there was a True God sitting on nearly each of them.
Of course, the brilliance of a few God Thrones were already completely dim.
“I can’t believe that even the Sun God has died!”
“Heh… I think that those Sons of Purgatory should all be called Sons of Slaughter instead. Ever since they appeared, a dozen Legends have already died in their hands?”
…
Currently, many Gods were discussing in a low voice and spiritual wills aggregated in the air of the temple.
Under this unprecedented crisis, all the camps had no choice but to cooperate, regardless of whether they were good or evil beforehand.
The Harvest Goddess mumbled in a low voice, “The Temple of the Gods is an inconceivable artifact that has truly obtained our recognition. Every True God that has been promoted will place a portion of their strength and an imprint inside. Even if we encounter a scenario where the God World is destroyed, this place can protect our true bodies and is furthermore proof of our alliance…”
“My Lords and Ladies!” said a God with the concentrated power of war encircling his body. “The final battle for the Sons of Purgatory is approaching. This is our final opportunity!”
He was Saquin, one of the Nine Pillar Gods, and the one who controlled war!
Even though the other Gods were part of the Nine Pillar Gods, their powers and beliefs had deteriorated after suffering the impact from the Sons of Purgatory. But the War God was the only exception.
Furthermore, with the constant spread of chaos caused by war, the ultimate battle was imminent. Of course, the death of Supreme Sun God Ramon was still the most important. He had a vague sense that his godship was going to be elevated and become more powerful.
“I heartily agree with Saquin’s viewpoint!” Storm God Holland roared. “Those Sons of Purgatory actually dared to kill a God. This is definitely a grave, unforgivable crime and must be punished!”
“The most pressing issue is still the problem of the sun!” said a Goddess full of motherly aura. She was Meira, the Mother Earth Goddess. “There still isn’t any news regarding which Son of Purgatory obtained the Sun Godhood?”
“The most likely culprits are Slaughter and Death. However, these two Evil Gods are very powerful. Not mentioning Death, as he was originally one of the Nine Pillar Gods, the Slaughter Godhood also has a lot of potential and is a perfect match for a Son of Purgatory… It’s very difficult for us to discover their trails!” said Life Goddess Venus.
“Not them again… The Sons of Purgatory are truly a tumor of the entire world!” Sky God Weissman roared. “Perry! There still aren’t conclusions from the research of divinity?”
Perry was the Knowledge God and similarly one of the Nine Pillar Gods.
He controlled knowledge and wisdom, and was the most knowledgeable among the Gods. He had the appearance of a highly respected noble old man.
“The research regarding the divinity…” Perry said without even raising his head. “Due to the obstruction of Apophis’ will, it’s been very difficult to make particularly large progress. However, the power it contains definitely comes from a higher world. I’m certain of that!”
“I don’t believe it!” a God expressed his doubts. “There’s a plane even stronger than our world? That’s impossible!”
“In our perspective, there isn’t! It’s like how the mortals can’t imagine the magnificence and vastness of a God Nation!” Perry laughed. “Or in other words, inside our dimension, there can’t be a world stronger than Monger, but what if we consider an even higher dimension?”
“A power that actually originates from an even higher dimension!”
A few Gods gasped. “Apophis is so difficult to deal with. Is it because he originates from a higher world and his existence is already out of the ordinary?”
“We jointly provided assistance through establishing an alliance using the Temple of the Gods to those with divinity. Would they truly have the ability to kill the Evil Gods and finally destroy Apophis?”
Their topic of discussion changed and quickly arrived at doubt toward this mission.
“It’s definitely insufficient just relying them. However, they’ve taken the weapons and armor that were forged by us, and they have the power that we bestowed on them, becoming individual beacons.”
Willa said confidently, “At the end of the final battle, Apophis will definitely appear in the Nine Tier Purgatory! At that moment, we’ll completely stimulate the beacons in their bodies and form a passage. Using the combined powers of the Temple of the Gods, we’ll break through the shackles of the Nine Tier Purgatory and directly descend into it to kill Apophis!”
“This plan is what I suggested…” Perry coughed. “Even in the worst case scenario, where our selected candidates and seeds are completely annihilated, this beacon will transfer to other Sons of Purgatory due to the property of them mutually devouring each other. Therefore, there’s no possibility of failure! We can definitely reach the Nine Tier Purgatory!”
All the Gods’ eyes lit up.
The war between wills was the most dangerous.
Even though everything was within Apophis’ sinister plans, the Son of Purgatory that achieved the final victory would definitely be very powerful.
With them competing against each other and the Gods combining forces to use the Temple of the Gods, everything could completely annihilated.
“Alright, to keep this a secret, from now on, the Temple of the Gods will be sealed to evade the influence of destiny! Everyone, before the final battle, our true bodies will assume personal command here to cut of all variables!” the War God roared.
“I second it!”
“I second it!”
Earth, Knowledge, Windstorm, Sky, Life… all the other Nine Pillar Gods concurred, and the rest of the Gods agreed.
After the final God expressed their opinion, the Temple of the Gods roared and emitted an incomparable radiance. Many sacred texts appeared. These were the rule characters, and they could be understood with a glance. It was the contents of this Gods’ meeting.
The sacred texts linked up like a chain and completely sealed the Temple of the Gods.
Inside contained the strength of all the Gods, and a single Nine Pillar God would be unable to break through.
…
Meanwhile.
Da Qian, an unknown distance away from the Monger World.
Misty white fog and a huge floating island were in the sky.
On the island, there was dense farmland, many crisscrossing paths, and numerous small towns that formed a nation in the clouds.
Someone sat in a tea house and looked at the different conditions and customs of Da Qian while tasting an exotic scented tea and enjoying himself in his own way.
His large sleeves fluttered, his appearance very handsome and unrestrained, a sharp intelligence in his eyes. Surprisingly, he was the Head of the Hidden Dragon Guards who had disappeared long ago!
Previously, in the battle when the Da Qian Empire was extinguished and the founder of Da Qian plotting behind the scenes died, the clouds under his command had parted and the world had changed greatly.
The Head of the Hidden Dragon Guards was not willing to help a villain and did not wish to engage in risky behavior. Thus, he traveled the world.
And now, he was here.
“I can’t believe… the other end of the East Ocean is actually such a bizarre nation. The rumored ‘Cloud Nation’ really exists…”
The Head of the Hidden Dragon Guards looked at the scene of men ploughing and women weaving, everyone enjoying themselves, and was a little stunned.
This was considered a remote and backward place with thin vitality. If a Grandmaster were here, he would be an exceptional character.
Da Qian did not even want to bother with such a place.
However, the Head of the Hidden Dragon Guards quite liked it.
“Abandoning the secular confusions, leaving behind worries, and living leisurely sounds like a good idea… Perhaps I should spend my last days here and, at the same time, leave behind an inheritance?”
The Head of the Hidden Dragon Guards was slightly moved, but instantly laughed bitterly. “Too bad… the heavens do not permit me!”
After all, he was previously a Sage. Even though he had lost his position as a Dream Master, he had the cultivation of a True Sage and was extremely sensitive toward the vitality of the heavens and the earth.
With these observations every day, he had already confirmed the changes in vitality.
The intrinsic quality of the Da Qian World had already changed.
And this transformation instantly made him associate it with the horrifying demonic figure that snatched the path of all Dream Masters.
Even though it occurred a long time ago, that figure resembling a Demon God still subconsciously caused his body to shudder. “I self-cultivated and enlightened myself while walking the path of dream elemental force. Although I’m unable to reproduce a Dream Master’s powers, I have discovered other techniques that can allow me to practice to the extent of a Seventh Tier Illusionary Divine…”
At the moment, the Head of the Hidden Dragon Guards was somewhat lost in thought. “This transformation further made me confirm that the original Dream Master was indeed a foreign product that came from the Mental Demon Realm… Ah, Demon God! Demon God!”
Suddenly, his face greatly changed.
That was because the silhouette of that Demon God in his memories suddenly started becoming clearer.
Regardless of whether it was that huge stature of Shang Hou’s body, those exotic patterns, those chains that endlessly reaped souls, or that indescribable existence that appeared behind… nearly all the details were extremely vivid!
“That’s not right. I didn’t even recall the memories from then, yet they voluntarily appeared!”
The Head of the Hidden Dragon Guards was astonished and suddenly stood up. Ignoring the frightened looks in the surroundings, he charged toward the sky.
“Immortal!”
The surrounding guests and farmers were astonished as they kowtowed in the direction the Head of the Hidden Dragon Guards left…
“This is… an imprint!”
Inside the layers of clouds, the Head of the Hidden Dragon Guards displayed his imposing manner. The cultivation of a True Elemental Spiritual Knight was practically unable to be suppressed.
He gradually had an enlightenment.
Every existence that exceeds the rules has its own body as the source, which is the rules as well. Any memories related to them can all become communication channels! At the moment, the appearance of such a bizarre phenomenon must indicate that it’s… getting closer?
Thinking of this existence caused the Head of the Hidden Dragon Guards to shudder. Once again, a fear stemming from the knowledge that his life laid in the hands of his opponent surfaced.
Da Qian, Nine Extremes Mountain headquarters.
“What happened?”
Sitting cross-legged, Liu Mengmei was suddenly prompted by an impulse. After hearing the astonished cries outside, she stood up and went out.
Immediately, she saw… the originally sky-blue sky had transformed into darkness, and a huge silhouette seemed to appear inside.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, the dark veil exploded and revealed a purple eye!
It was completely impossible to describe the horrors of this eye using any language. Appearing to know everything, it emitted a dark glow that shined over all nine territories, as if it was searching for something.
A feeling that a huge crisis was imminent suddenly emerged in the hearts of all the cultivators.
