“By the way, what are the three Earth Stars in the Star Palace?” Jian Wushuang suddenly asked.

“This…haha!” Daoist Xuan God laughed, “My dear Heavenly Marquis, you forgot that you went to visit Demon Monarch Ancient Night in person. After that, Monarch Death came to my Star Palace to apologize. Soon after, there was news that you defeated Demon Monarch Ancient Night in a battle.”

“You must know that Demon Monarch Ancient Night was publicly acknowledged as the number one expert in this star domain. Even the Sky Roc Ruler, a peak Ruler, was unable to withstand a single move from him. Yet, you were able to defeat Demon Monarch Ancient Night. Furthermore, you are only a Ruler of principles. Once this news is out, my Star Palace’s status in this star domain will immediately change.”

“Before this, although my Star Palace could barely be considered a major power because of your rise, it still couldn’t be considered to be at the peak. However, after your battle with Demon Monarch Ancient Night, there was no need for my Star Palace to do anything. Most of the experts of the major powers in this Star Field naturally classified my Star Palace as one of the peak powers. Moreover, without my Star Palace needing to think of any methods, countless experts took the initiative to come over. If they wanted to join my Star Palace, my Star Palace naturally wouldn’t reject them.”

“In less than 1,000 years, there have been more than 10,000 Principles Masters in Star Palace.”

“What?” Jian Wushuang was shocked.

When he went to eternal prison, there were only 1,000 Principles Masters in Star Palace.

In less than 1,000 years, there had been more than 10,000 Principles Masters?

That was too fast.

“There are too many Principles Masters, so one Earth Star is not enough to satisfy the Star Palace. In recent years, we spent some money to find two uninhabited Earth Stars in this Star Field and moved them here. The three Earth Stars were side by side to form the current temporary palace,” Daoist Xuan God said.

“Is that so?” Jian Wushuang understood.

He had to admit that Star Palace was indeed much stronger than before.

“It’s a good thing that Star Palace is stronger. The more experts there are, the greater the chance of victory for the Divine Beginning Realm in the battle with Devil Cloud Star.” Jian Wushuang smiled.

At the mention of Devil Cloud Star, Daoist Xuan God’s expression immediately turned grave.

“My young friend, there’s something I must tell you.” Daoist Xuan God stared at Jian Wushuang.

“What is it? How can I be serious?” Jian Wushuang asked.

“It’s Devil Cloud Star,” Daoist Xuan God said solemnly, “you know, Star Palace has spies in the Star Field where Devil Cloud Star is located. They have been keeping an eye on Devil Cloud Star. Ten years ago, they sent a message that Devil Cloud Star Master had come out of seclusion.”

Jian Wushuang’s pupils constricted.

He knew that the reason why Devil Cloud Star had been quiet all these years was that Devil Cloud Star Master had been in seclusion, which was the most important stage.

However, once Devil Cloud Star Master came out of seclusion, his strength would probably break through to the fourth-level Ruler level, and he would definitely make a move.

Jian Wushuang had been preparing for how to deal with Devil Cloud Master. At the same time, he hoped that Devil Cloud Master would stay in seclusion for a little longer and give him more time to prepare, in this way, he would have more confidence in dealing with Devil Cloud Master.

But now…

“Is Devil Cloud Master ready to leave?” Jian Wushuang asked.

“Not ready to leave, but yeah.” Daoist Xuan God said, “According to our spies, Devil Cloud Star has been preparing for a long time, waiting for Devil Cloud Star Master to come out of seclusion. Less than a year after Devil Cloud Star Master came out of seclusion, he led his army and left the Star Field. Most experts in that Star Field don’t know the purpose of the army, but we know that Devil Cloud Star is coming for us.”

“How much time do we have?” Jian Wushuang asked.

“A thousand years at most,” Daoist Xuan God said.

“What?” Jian Wushuang was shocked and frowned. “How can it be so fast? Doesn’t it take at least tens of thousands of years to get here from Devil Cloud Star?”

“Yes, under normal circumstances, it takes tens of thousands of years for a Ruler to rush to our Star Field from the Star Field where Devil Cloud Star is located. However, Devil Cloud Star Master is a Ruler of a second-grade star world, so his means and strength are very impressive. He also has a universe boat,” Daoist Xuan God said.

“Universe boat?” Jian Wushuang was stunned.

Before meeting Ruler Spark, he might not have known what universe boat was, but after meeting Ruler Spark and riding on the universe boat, he was no stranger to it.

It was able to travel through the universe void at a fast speed. Even the lowest level universe boat could travel through the universe space dozens or even hundreds of times faster than an ordinary Ruler.

With the universe boat traveling in place of the universe boat, the arrival time of the Devil Cloud Star Army would definitely be greatly reduced.

“Universe boat, it’s very strange. The speed of traveling through the universe void is too fast. At most, it’ll take 1,000 years for the Devil Cloud Star Army to reach this Star Field. It won’t even take 1,000 years. In other words, within this 1,000 years, we must prepare for the great battle with the Devil Cloud Star,” Daoist Xuan God said solemnly.

“Within 1,000 years?” Jian Wushuang narrowed his eyes.

The expressions of Temporal Temple Master, Heaven-cleaving Alliance Master, and Di Shisan all turned grim.

Within 1,000 years, the war with Devil Cloud Star would break out.

This war would determine the life and death of the Divine Beginning Realm.

If they were defeated, they might be able to use their own strength to flee elsewhere in the universe. Jian Wushuang, with his strength and talent, should be able to live well in other territories. However, the Divine Beginning Realm, their hometown…was finished.

In order to increase his strength, Devil Cloud Star Master would squeeze the Divine Beginning Realm dry. At that time, the Divine Beginning Realm would collapse in the shortest amount of time, and countless cultivators would be able to survive, except for the group at the highest level who could escape to the universe, no one else could survive.

No one could accept this result.

For example, Jian Wushuang’s family, his wife, and many of his good friends were all in the Divine Beginning Realm. The Divine Beginning Realm was their home and their root, but for Jian Wushuang…the Divine Beginning Realm was still the existence that his Master Xuan Yi risked his life to protect.

Xuan Yi created him after his death. From the moment he inherited his master’s mantle and became a new perfect life, he had an inborn mission. This mission was to take over the Divine Beginning Realm again, to protect everything in the Divine Beginning Realm.

Thus, they could not afford to lose this battle. They had to win!
