Capítulo 956: Chapter 434: Journey (Part 1)
If Lu Hong were here, he would immediately recognize the identities of these four Divine Lords; they are the Hall Masters of the four great transcendental forces.
No one expected that during the war between the Six Domains Alliance and the Nine Realms Dynasty, the four great transcendental forces would stir up trouble and affect the final battle.
Although they seemed to cooperate with the Nine Realms Dynasty, these four great transcendental forces have now formed intricate connections with the Realm Lords of the Eighteen Realms.
It seems that the current chaos in the Nine Domains is inseparable from the four great transcendental forces.
However, Lu Hong couldn’t see this scene, as he was brought back to Tang Shi World by the Netherworld God.
After tossing Lu Hong into the Tangshi Imperial Palace, the Netherworld God returned to the Nether King Palace, and Lu Hong, who was back in the Tangshi Imperial Palace, was surrounded by Nuoshan and others.
“Where did you and Lord Netherworld God go?” Nuoshan asked, “You had someone notify me of your return; do you know I almost turned Tang Shi upside down looking for you?”
“Just went out for a fight,” Lu Hong replied without elaboration.
“With whom did you fight? A Realm Lord of the Eighteen Realms?” Eferot also stepped forward and asked.
“How do you know?” Lu Hong was curious as Eferot’s mind seemed to have become sharper.
“Hehe, I’ve learned a lot from old Xie recently, so naturally I’ve become smarter.” Saying this, Eferot affectionately draped an arm around Xie’an’s shoulder and winked at him, “Right, old Xie?”
But Xie’an disdainfully brushed Eferot’s furry hand away: “Keep your distance, and don’t act like we’re brothers.”
“Hehe.” Eferot didn’t mind Xie’an’s disdain.
Lu Hong looked at the two puzzled, feeling that there was something odd about their relationship!
Nuoshan seemed to see Lu Hong’s confusion and explained, “Lord Star Master, Lord Xie and Lord Eferot have a good personal relationship, but… after each Military Department competition, Marshal Xie always has two days when he’s not happy.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Hong understood, as that was when the Star Domain’s forces couldn’t defeat the Beastman forces.
“Alright, let’s talk in the council hall.”
The group entered the council hall, and after sitting according to rank and seniority, Lu Hong first looked at Tian Shengwu, who was closest to him, and asked, “I heard earlier that you were planning to build a strong army for the Tianwu forces. How is that coming along?”
“It’s… certainly…” Tian Shengwu hesitated, “unsuccessful.”
The Tianwu World has never been able to build its own strong army; otherwise, when the Star Sea invaded, they wouldn’t have responded so hastily.
The reason is quite simple: it’s due to the Tianwu World’s Heavenly God ancestors.
The cultivation system of the Tianwu World was entirely built by the Tianwu ancestors, who are selfish and fear the emergence of new Heavenly Gods that could divide their current interests. Therefore, they sealed the treasures and cut off the path of cultivation, leading the Tianwu World’s cultivation system to a dead end.
Therefore, after joining the Star Sea, Tian Shengwu has silently been trying to repair the Tianwu World’s cultivation system path.
Later, Tian Shengwu figured out some methods, which is why he boldly claimed he would build a strong army for the Tianwu forces, but clearly, he failed.
Lu Hong detected the frustration in Tian Shengwu’s voice and then patted his shoulder: “Don’t worry, I’ll find a way to get the Heavenly God to help you continue the path in a while.”
If Tian Shengwu can’t continue the path, then the Tianwu forces won’t be able to see the emergence of Heavenly God powerhouses again, unless… the entire Tianwu forces abandon their current cultivation system and switch to other relatively mature cultivation professions within the Star Sea group. But such a switch would reduce the Tianwu forces’ strength to almost zero and would take a very long time to recover to their current level.
It’s estimated that by the time the Tianwu forces recover, the chaos in the Nine Domains will already be nearing its end.
So for the future of the Tianwu forces, there’s no other way but to try to continue their cultivation system path rather than switching cultivation.
“Thank you, Lord Star Master.” With Lu Hong’s promise, Tian Shengwu gratefully clasped his fists in a salute. Although the Tianwu forces show strong combat capability at the Third Transition level, they truly lack a Heavenly God-level ancestor to oversee them, which makes them far inferior to other forces. Moreover, as the Star Sea continues to grow and develop, this gap will only widen. When the Star Sea establishes more branch troops, the Tianwu forces will inevitably be absorbed into other branch troops, losing their independence, a situation Tian Shengwu does not wish to see.
“By the way, have you approached your so-called cheap master?” Lu Hong suddenly thought of the Du Tian Divine Lord and inquired of Tian Shengwu.
Hearing this, Tian Shengwu shook his head slightly, “I did try to find the master before, but the master told me that the Nine Domains are about to fall into chaos. With Du Tian Pavilion’s ability to predict the future and obtain the best intelligence, it will be the first casualty in the chaos of the Nine Domains. Therefore, the master ordered the closure of all Du Tian Pavilions and went into hiding, leaving no trace.”
“Understood.” Lu Hong nodded, agreeing that this statement made perfect sense. Du Tian Pavilion’s divination ability is definitely a valuable tool in warfare, and once a war begins, everyone will want to secure Du Tian Pavilion for themselves. Those unable to obtain it will certainly seek to destroy it.
So the Du Tian Divine Lord chose not to take sides but to exit the grand stage of the Nine Domains, disappearing with Du Tian Pavilion without a trace. However, whether they are doing something secretly behind the scenes remains unknown.
With this topic concluded, Lu Hong looked around the room.
Nuoshan sat to Lu Hong’s left, Tian Shengwu to his right, and then the seats spread out in two rows, occupied by Xie’an, Eferot, the former Crown Prince of Saint Peace Kingdom, Konstantin, the former Duke of the Eagle Alliance, Duke Chenhui, the war lion Barry, the former Hall Master of Lion King Hall, Guerbash, an unfamiliar Third Transition Peak powerhouse of the Demon Clan, a Third Transition powerhouse of the Eternal Continent, and other members currently holding important positions in the Star Sea.
At the end of the row of seats, Lu Hong also saw the former Snow Realm Emperor Bu Sheng, the young Great Emperor who once almost abandoned everything in destitution.
Feeling Lu’s gaze, Bu Sheng did not shy away and returned a look toward Lu Hong.
After exchanging smiles, both withdrew their gazes.
Surveying the attendees of the meeting, Lu Hong then opened his mouth, “Everyone, you have likely guessed the reason for my return this time, haven’t you?”
“Is the Star Master worried about the invasion of the Eighteen Realms?” Xie’an spoke first.
Seeing Lu Hong nod, Xie’an continued, “Based on the intelligence we gathered, the Eighteen Realms invaded the Northern Territory of the Constant Domain some time ago but did not rush to move southward, and the distance from us is quite far. If the Eighteen Realms begin moving southward from the north, it should be those families and worlds closer to the Eighteen Realms’ army that feel anxious. They will naturally become a barrier that consumes the Eighteen Realms’ military power. By the time the Eighteen Realms truly reach Tang Shi, I believe they will have suffered considerable losses, and they might abandon the idea of continuing south once they reach the central area of the Constant Domain.”
Hearing Xie’an’s analysis, Lu Hong raised an eyebrow, “Do you have any basis for this view?”
Xie’an nodded, “The sudden invasion by the Eighteen Realms made the various hostile races of the Constant Domain set aside their differences, and they now frequently share information together. Based on this information, we analyzed that the Eighteen Realms like to use Heavenly God-level ancestors as vanguards to severely disrupt the opponents’ formations, even directly using the Heavenly Gods’ irresistible Divine Power to destroy a world or an army. Fortunately, not many families from our Constant Domain participated in the Six Domains Alliance. Compared to other realms, each world or family’s Heavenly God ancestors are indeed numerous in our Constant Domain. While our Heavenly Gods might not match other realms in quality, we certainly have the quantity.
Since the Northern Territory of the Constant Domain was suddenly captured by the Eighteen Realms, the Heavenly God ancestors from these families have begun negotiations to form an alliance. Therefore, in the upcoming invasion battle with the Eighteen Realms, the threat brought by the opponent’s Heavenly God-level ancestors will be greatly reduced, which is why I’m confident in saying that the Eighteen Realms’ army won’t be able to conquer the Constant Domain.”
“What if the Eighteen Realms send out even stronger and more numerous Heavenly Gods?”
Upon hearing Lu Hong’s question, Xie’an was stunned, then asked back in confusion, “Don’t we still have Lord Netherworld God?”
Uh…
Lu Hong also felt like he’d asked a foolish question.
However…
