Chapter 1716: Chapter 1716: Eternity as a Prison
The many powerful figures were silent. Everyone understood the rationale, but the price to pay was too great; it’s not a decision that anyone could easily make.
To extract the essence of heaven and earth and abandon their original territory to be near the vicinity of the Celestial Domain indeed seemed safer, but the decline in fortune would be steep, making the decision incredibly difficult.
“Let me speak first.”
Finally, the Master of the Five Elements broke the silence: “I agree with the Second Sovereign’s suggestion. The current situation is unlike the past; the pressure we face is immense. If it was only the Great Emperor of Divine Enthronement, we might not be this passive, but both Divine Martial and Divine Enthronement are ambitious. They want everything, the entire era; dispersal leads only to death. Even though my Five Elements ranks in the top ten among the heavens, I am not confident that we can withstand their offensive capability.”
“Heaven and earth are too scattered,” said the Creator of the Heavens.
To take refuge with either Divine Enthronement or Divine Martial seems natural, but if they had planned to side with one, they would have done so already rather than wait until now, always hoping for a struggle.
“My Five Elements will abandon its existing position and migrate to the vicinity of the Celestial Domain.”
The Master of the Five Elements also understood that only by making sacrifices could they hold their own against the enemy; as a top ten territory, he had to lead by example.
“Heaven of Yin and Yang also agrees.”
Sovereign of Yin and Yang said.
No longer as before, if the scattering continues, defeat is inevitable, and a fist must be clenched tight to exert maximum power.
Others have already unified their fortune, but they remain scattered across the cosmic realms, like pieces of meat awaiting these greedy invaders to consume.
“The Heaven of Demons, I don’t control the beginning; I can only govern fortune, not move the heavens.”
Lonely Demonic God said.
The master of the Heaven of Demons is the Demon Ancestor on the Eternal Path. Though the Demon Ancestor is absent, the actual ruler is him, like a minister governing the nation on behalf of the Emperor, yet unable to relocate the Heaven of Demons.
“Hell is the same,” said the Hell Sovereign.
“Hell and the Heaven of Demons were both created by the Origin God; their defense is stronger than ordinary realms. If we connect fortunes and build transmission arrays, our targets will be much smaller if they continue their offensive.”
The Second Sovereign said.
The Heaven of Demons and Hell are not like the Heaven of Greater Li, easily attacked, and the Celestial Domain fears not their offense.
The Creator of Divine Realm cannot simply be described as a Seventh Realm Origin God; he is a god!
By reducing the territory needing defense, they could gather power more effectively.
Master of Infinity was silent for a moment before speaking: “What we’re doing now is falling pletely into passive defense, waiting for them to attack, akin to barely clinging on. It’s uncertain how long the defense can hold, or if there’s a way to break the deadlock.”
“There is.”
The Second Sovereign said, “Unless one of us can break through to the Seventh Realm Origin God, only then can we resist their offense with the leadership of an Origin God.”
They had many formidable figures, but no one capable of directly confronting Divine Enthronement or Divine Martial, which was their greatest pain.
“I understand.”
The Master of Infinity nodded.
The Origin God is too difficult to break through; few are born in an aeon, and none have this certainty.
At present, the passive defense strategy of the Second Sovereign is their last and most reluctant approach. They have already lost the power to pete for the peak of the era; even maintaining their current status is challenging.
At this time, various sovereigns departed to make preparations.
They were also making dual preparations.
Each sovereign represented fortune. They transferred all valuable divine items from within their realms, making ready to establish a new realm near the Celestial Domain.
On one hand.
Some sovereigns were also observing changes in the situation, some weaker ones already making plans for allegiance to whoever emerged victorious in the end.
They currently stand by.
For the larger heavens ranking in the top ten, to submit outright was unsatisfying; their pride forbade it. If no choice remained at the end, they had to do so.
Within the Heaven of the myriad paths.
pared to disturbances in other realms, it was rather calm here.
The old Daoist and the Sovereign of Change were still in a game of strategy, as if this cosmic struggle wouldn’t end, nor would their duel.
“In the battle at Heaven of Greater Li, Lonely Demonic God and others were defeated; they have realized their loss of contesting ability and can only defensively retreat. Look at this, the fluctuation of fortune is intense with many realms moving towards the Celestial Domain.”
The Sovereign of Change moved a chess piece, which transformed into a dragon, devouring ferociously.
“Making this move indicates they have lost confidence. Relocating the realm is like a country moving its capital, which undermines their fortune, a reluctant strategy.”
The old Daoist spoke calmly: “With such hearts and minds, it’s tough to break through to the Origin God.”
“They have no choice; Divine Enthronement and Divine Martial are assaulting them, and yet they cannot let go of pride and struggle.”
The Sovereign of Change said, “The peak of the era must be unbelievably glorious, but it will belong to one. If Divine Martial hadn’t emerged precipitously, they might not have had to make such decisions, not needing to face two emperors. But with Divine Martial, the scenario changes pletely.”
“The Second Sovereign and others are just holding on helplessly; the chance of breaking through the origin is slim. The future struggle will rest between Divine Martial and Divine Enthronement.”
The old Daoist said, “Divine Martial, can you see through him?”
“I cannot. This person’s destiny is elusive.”
The Sovereign of Change shook his head.
“In the Heaven of Myriad Paths, we follow nature’s course, which is the will left by the Ancestor. They are deeper on the Eternal Path, planning a major matter, hoping the peak powers of this era assist them. Since all e from the same era, no matter the battles within the multiverse, they are collective affairs. Whoever wins holds the fortune.”
The old Daoist said: “Battles within the multiverse are merely mutual fights; the true battle is on the Eternal Path.”
“Eternity is like a prison, trapping many; even being the strongest means little if one cannot bee an Eternal God, only waiting for death. Where lies the path to eternity?”
The Sovereign of Change said.
At this moment, the old Daoist suddenly said: “Look! Divine Martial’s fortune, formidable and booming, clear as thunder, gathered by a terrifying force deliberately; what is that Divine Martial Emperor doing now!”
“Gathering aeon fortune, forming a cosmic epic!”
The Sovereign of Change said astonished, “Even I forgot, he’s only at the fifth realm, hasn’t achieved the epic yet.”
The authority of Divine Martial makes everyone forget he hasn’t attained the sixth realm, yet this prowess strikes fear in many across the cosmos, dreading his might.
The old Daoist said: “I too forgot; this Divine Martial Emperor is truly an anomaly, a rarity born of the cosmic era. Could he be another unique like the Creator of Divine Realm?”
In the Divine Martial Empire.
The Lord of Awakening looked up at the emperor on the Eternal Altar, reporting: “Your majesty, the cosmic landscape is shifting; many realms are creating a second domain near the Celestial Domain.”
