Chapter 535 - 82: Age of Divine Investiture! The Pantheon’s Expedition_3
Shawn calmly said, "I know."
This torn page of the golden scroll is unlikely to help him break through the limits. Many Great Arcanists of Neser have read the golden scroll, but few have broken the level 40 cap. However, since it’s part of the legacy of the Dark Era, as a newly minted demigod of the Bizarre Realm, he has to borrow it and take a look.
The Death Chief knocked on the table, looked at Shawn before him, smiled and said, "Recently, many visitors from the Otherworld have appeared."
"They have brought knowledge of civilizations from other Crystal Wall Systems."
"You’ve done quite well."
Shawn calmly replied, "This was originally part of the plan."
Whether it is the Bizarre Realm or the Realm of Reality, both are currently in a stage of rapid progress. The knowledge mastered by Otherworld visitors represents the essence of their civilizations, and the entire Terra Planet seems like a shriveled sponge, constantly absorbing nourishment from the Otherworld.
Of course, the visitors are also plundering the Terra Planet’s immortal divinity, with some already successfully slaying the Ancient Race offspring.
Mutual benefit.
Otherworld visitors bring new knowledge, purifying the environment of Terra Planet, and extracting immortal divinity from here; their appearance also improves the ecological structure of the entire planet, akin to giving the natives a preliminary cleanup.
The first step is divinity, the second step is domain, and the third step is divine position.
The appetite of Otherworld visitors will grow increasingly larger.
The Death Chief pondered for a while and then looked up, saying, "Are you interested in taking my seat?"
"With your current strength, controlling the Clockwork Nirvana Twelve Realms might unleash the full potential of the Maze Lock’s power!"
Shawn shook his head decisively, "Not interested."
A Maze Lock is also a prison.
Because someone must maintain the operation of the Clockwork Nirvana Twelve Realms. If Shawn sits down, he’d be the most powerful demigod of the Bizarre Realm (almost endless mana pool), but the weight of the position is too heavy, and sitting down would mean losing freedom.
The greatness of the Death Chief lies in him occupying that seat for a thousand years.
Countless knowledge flows into Shawn’s brain.
As he got up, the Death Chief said slowly, "You should also send an avatar to attend next month’s demigod meeting."
"The future seen by the Astrologer has changed again."
The Astrologer.
An unfamiliar demigod to Shawn, unknown in path, but adept at Prophetic Spells, possibly in the domain of Destiny.
Shawn raised his eyebrows and asked, "What did he see?"
The Death Chief calmly said, "The awakening time of the Ancient Gods has moved earlier."
"The appearance of Otherworld visitors."
"And your continued hunts of the Ancient Race have greatly accelerated the next awakening of the Ancient Gods."
"They feel the threat of the Otherworld Gods!"
"We might face a bitter battle."
Butterfly effect.
The slumbering Ancient Gods begin prematurely awakening due to the death of their clans, and the anomalies in the Inner Earth World are growing increasingly frequent. Although everyone anticipated this scene when the plan began, it still imposes tremendous stress when it actually comes.
"How many Ancient Gods have awakened early?" Shawn asked in a deep voice.
The Death Chief was silent for a moment and then said slowly, "All of them!"
"The Astrologer saw the Star of Death Omen."
"When it appears in the Terra Star System, the stars will link together, and all slumbering Ancient Gods within the star system will awake simultaneously!"
After all, reality is not a game.
When humans start the counterattack, the Ancient Gods won’t wake one by one as if handing over their heads. Their awakening will be all at once; the reason why the battles during the Dark Era were so severe was due to the stellar linkage, many Ancient Gods descending upon reality simultaneously. Had they come one by one, humans might have had a chance.
Shawn paused for a moment and then slowly asked, "What are our odds of success?"
The Death Chief calmly said, "Thirty percent, but it’s worth a try."
"The bow once drawn cannot turn back. When Aemon opened the Door Path Law, this day became inevitable, merely a matter of sooner or later."
Thirty percent chance.
The Death Chief was correct; indeed worth trying.
Shawn’s figure turned and left. Before stepping out of the study, he softly said, "Will the Ancient Pillars descend?"
The Death Chief shook his head and said, "I don’t know. Unpredictable."
"That’s the worst-case scenario. If the Ancient Pillars do not descend, our odds of success could be as high as seventy percent."
"Let’s clean up this planet first."
"Humans are better suited to return to reality."
Shawn’s figure stepped out, appearing outside the Black Tower. He glanced at the endless nameless tombstones before him and gazed at the distant tomb of Death.
This battle.
They have prepared for a thousand years, whether death can suppress reality all comes down to the final arrangements of the nameless individuals.
Victory.
Humankind returns to the Material Plane to restart.
Defeat.
The Prime Material Plane completely falls, survivors in the crevices of the planes can only find ways to escape to other Crystal Wall Systems.
This is a deadlock checkmate that has lasted a thousand years.
When the Ancient Gods completely devour this planet’s law, the Clockwork Nirvana Twelve Realms can no longer protect the Realm of Reality. Not opening the door path is a slow death; opening the door path causes the Ancient Gods to awaken early.
This battle is almost unavoidable.
Only this time, upon initiation, opening the door path introduced too many variables, Ascenders from the Multiverse descended, letting Otherworld power also enter the Bizarre Realm. Meanwhile, Shawn rose as a Chess Player and joined the game with the Ancient Gods. With his current strength, if he does not shy away from anything, even extracting the life force of the entire planet, he could be seen as a God of Knowledge close to Medium Divine Power.
Only if this game is won can everyone truly take a breath, reclaim the planet’s Root Source Law, and turn their gaze to the endless starry sky of the Distant Universe.
Divine Terra needs to birth a strong Divine System.
Whether it is the natives sealing gods, the Otherworld visitors sealing gods, or even the face of the Otherworld Gods descending, as long as someone ascends to divinity, it is enough.
This is a brutal war!
Its intensity is no less than the Divine System war of the Ancient God Era, competing for the world’s Root Source Law, materialized as [Divine Position].
Because the Divine Duty Law is on the Ancient Gods!
"Pantheon."
Shawn’s gaze turned toward the endless starry sky afar; Divine Terra is a blank area of divine spirits. But as soon as the first Divine Sealer successfully ascends to divinity, this place will link to the fabled Pantheon. In those years, the God of Justice, Tyr, led 200 high-level Otherworld Divine Envoys (Challenge Level 25+) on an expedition to the Kingdom Celestial Universe, initiating the ’Leap of Justice’, prompting the birth of the Three Gods of Justice.
Today.
Among the lofty gods in the Pantheon, is there anyone bold enough to venture into the Distant Realm?
Shawn doesn’t know about other divine spirits.
But that honorable Death and the Supreme Holy Light from Heaven Mountain should take action.
The Guardians of the Space-Time Hub, along with the Time Dragons, are also watching the Pantheon’s reaction, because the overall strength of the Multiverse is forever led by the Pantheon.
Once the battle begins.
The Bizarre Realm formally enters the [Divine Investiture Era]!
If mortals are lucky enough, they might pick up divine rewards from the battle such as divinity, divine artifacts, divine fragments, or even a strand of untainted divine blood, possibly letting mortals advance rapidly (acquire Divine Blood Creature Template).
