"There are eighteen Heaven Deities in the Heavenly God Realm, you know this, right?"
Lin Chen said with a laugh, "I naturally know that. I’ve been here for quite so ti, but now there should only be seventeen since the Creation God was destroyed."
Lan Shuiying replied, "Yes, for a Saint to beco a Heaven Deity, they must possess a Divine Status that matches their Dao Attribute. Only by fusing with the Divine Status can they truly beco a Heaven Deity who controls the singular Dao."
Lin Chen nodded, "That’s right, what does what you’re saying have to do with that person?"
Lan Shuiying answered, "During the Saint Fall Era, Divine Statuses descended from the sky to the Heavenly God Realm, and countless Saints fought each other to seize them. Many Saints fell, and eventually, all the Divine Statuses found their owners. They fused with the Divine Statuses and achieved godhood, marking the true end of the turbulent tis and the beginning of the Heaven Deity era."
Lin Chen nodded again, "I know all this. And then?"
Lan Shuiying whispered, "But there’s a rumor that when the divine light descended, it wasn’t just eighteen, but nineteen!"
Lin Chen suddenly widened his eyes, looking at Lan Shuiying in shock, "So, there’s one Divine Status that hasn’t found a master yet?"
"Yes!"
Lan Shuiying’s gaze was subtle, "This news has been passed down from ancient tis. Many have searched for the nineteenth Divine Status, but there’s never any definitive information. Many even doubt what they saw back then; perhaps it’s just a rumor."
Lin Chen listened intently, afraid of missing out on any piece of information.
Previously, while chatting with the Creation God about the path to godhood, the Creation God had uncertainly ntioned that to beco a god, one must either kill a current Heaven Deity to seize their Divine Status and slowly fuse with it to beco a new Heaven Deity, or find an undiscovered Divine Status.
At that ti, Lin Chen asked, could there be any Divine Statuses that haven’t been fused yet? The Creation God replied, maybe there are, maybe there aren’t, who knows.
Could there really be one?
Lin Chen’s heart instinctively experienced so fluctuations. Finding an unclaid Divine Status would be much simpler than killing a Heaven Deity and seizing theirs, and then fusing into a new Heaven Deity.
Since I’m not yet a Heaven Deity, even if there’s competition, it would at most be with top-tier Saints, not anything more formidable.
Lan Shuiying continued, "There were many speculations until that person appeared. He once found himself caught between life and death and took out a miraculous item that unleashed massive energy and helped him overco the crisis."
"When that person made his move, there were many bystanders who witnessed it. Upon discussion among them, it was concluded that the item was likely a Divine Status..."
Lin Chen’s eyes widened: "He just took it out like that?"
"At that ti, he was already in a life-and-death situation. Without using his ultimate trump card, he would have died. If it were you, wouldn’t you use it?"
Lin Chen thought for a mont and laughed, "Absolutely, you have to use it; we can figure out the rest later. Staying alive opens up all kinds of possibilities."
Lan Shuiying responded, "Exactly, he must have thought the sa. Afterward, he got involved in various pursuits and then disappeared from public view."
"In the recently discovered Secret Realm, Explorers found so peculiar places inside. After discussion, it was determined that they resembled that person’s thods, leading everyone to suspect he might be hiding in this Secret Realm..."
Lin Chen frowned, pondering for a while, "This is a significant matter. Haven’t you reported this to the Heaven Deities?"
Lan Shuiying smiled slightly, her beautiful eyes staring straight at Lin Chen: "If you knew this matter, would you report it to the Heaven Deities?"
Lin Chen suddenly snapped back to reality.
This could be an opportunity to achieve godhood. If it were , I definitely wouldn’t report it either.
"So, everyone’s thinking about privately exploring on their own. If they’re lucky enough to obtain a Divine Status, they might just beco a Heaven Deity. Is this the idea?"
Lan Shuiying replied, "Yes, that’s what everyone is thinking. The biggest problem now is that the Three Great Holy Lands have found out and are sending nurous powerhouses to participate. If nothing is discovered, so be it, but if sothing is found, everyone will fight to the death with no rcy."
Lin Chen finally understood: "So, you all invited to prepare to participate in this exploration?"
"Yes."
Lan Shuiying honestly replied, "The reason we’re being honest with you is that we need you to enter with us. We’ll be forming several groups to increase the search range and the chances of success. However, to avoid irresistible dangers, we need you to step in if necessary to assist or evacuate others."
"If there’s no discovery, this journey won’t be too dangerous, as the Three Great Forces will exercise enough restraint and won’t engage in major conflicts. But if there is a discovery, then it could turn into a desperate struggle."
Lin Chen nodded, "Alright, I have no problem."
Seeing Lin Chen agree, Lan Shuiying breathed a sigh of relief.
This quest into the Secret Realm, as she ntioned earlier, might be a routine exploration with no reliance on Lin Chen. However, if sothing is indeed discovered, the dynamics would drastically change.
"As long as you agree, we can discuss the reward after the matter is concluded because right now we can’t predict how it will unfold, so it’s hard to set a specific reward."
Lin Chen said with a laugh, "No problem, I believe in you guys."
Taohua Palace is a Holy Land. Previously, they gave two Tao Spirits for rescuing their people. If I make significant contributions in the upcoming actions, they won’t be stingy.
After all, my service isn’t one-ti. If they deceive this ti, can they expect my loyalty in the future?
Lan Shuiying said solemnly, "Since you have no objections, let’s go now. I specifically waited for you in the sect to discuss this matter."
Lin Chen didn’t argue and agreed readily, "Alright, have the Three Great Holy Lands already begun entering?"
"Yes."
Lan Shuiying explained, "There are lots of people on that side, so the Palace Master ordered to wait in the sect for you, to discuss everything first, and then take you there. The Sect Master has a token; you can take it and teleport directly with ."
"Alright!"
With a simple location fix and after confirming the response from the Taohua Palace Master, Lin Chen leaped over with Lan Shuiying.
The scenery before Lin Chen’s eyes changed, and after surveying the surroundings, he found himself in a desolate forest area. Ahead of the group, at the entrance to a canyon, white mist swirled, with a faint shimr of light and strong energy fluctuations.
Is this the entrance to the Secret Realm?
