CHAPTER 1112: CHAPTER 835: IF THE ENEMY ADVANCES, WE RETREAT

"Forget it, I’ll find it myself."

Gu Jinlai shattered the Divine Emperor Rong Guang’s god-level power with a single sword, whose force rivaled the Hundred Epoch Honorable Daoist level, and when the Endless World opened, he swallowed Divine Emperor Rong Guang into it.

Immediately, the Divine Sense Ability tainted with Qinglian Radiance infiltrated Divine Emperor Rong Guang’s divine body, rapidly dissolving his Divine Country while attempting to peep into other memories.

"You!? Evil God Power!?"

Divine Emperor Rong Guang reacted almost identically to other immortals, his thoughts shaking with disbelief, "You, an Immortal Venerable, actually possess Evil God Power!? How is this possible!?"

Gu Jinlai did not reply; the infiltration speed of his Divine Sense Ability was incredibly fast.

But in just a moment, he seemed to perceive something: "No, that’s not right!"

In the next instant, his Divine Sense Ability, which was initially probing the memories slowly, erupted entirely like a sudden dazzling supernova. The rampaging force of destruction, like a surging torrent, instantly crushed Divine Emperor Rong Guang’s Divine Country, pulverizing all the Holy Spirits within.

Almost at the moment when Gu Jinlai’s Divine Sense Ability erupted and defeated Divine Emperor Rong Guang’s Divine Country, a Golden Immortal in the distant starry sky, many light years away from the Ashen Star Domain, suddenly widened his eyes.

"Immortal Venerable!? Evil God!? Evil God Yuan Miao and this Immortal Venerable are dual personalities!?"

Fear filled the eyes of this Golden Immortal.

One could vaguely see that deep in his eyes, there was a reflection of Gu Jinlai’s image.

Immortal Golden Immortals are not limited to cultivating a single Great Dao.

There are several ways for them to cultivate two Great Daos, such as leveraging Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, like the Dual Life Stone, Great Dao Primordial Crystal for dual cultivation.

But there is another method, which demands less on resources yet contains immense risks, that is splitting one’s own personality to form a second Primordial Spirit avatar, allowing the avatar to cultivate the second Great Dao.

Though this Cultivation Method is fraught with peril, it is the only way for ordinary Golden Immortals to dual cultivate the Great Dao.

Before Rong Guang embarked on the divine path, he once achieved the secret technique of splitting by chance, possessing a second avatar.

However, influenced by the main Great Dao, this avatar could cultivate the second Great Dao, but at a naturally slow pace, and later, as the main Great Dao transformed into a Divine Country, the avatar lost the chance of advancing to an Immortal Golden Immortal.

Even so, by mingling within the Cultivator circle through this avatar, he occasionally obtained some intelligence from other Divine Spirits, including ones the Divine Emperors couldn’t get, which allowed him to break through and achieve the status of Divine Emperor.

With the divine body resisting the Daoist Ancestor’s purge, and enjoying almost limitless longevity with the avatar...

This is why many cultivators choose to become Divine Spirits despite knowing that once on this path, they would face a life dark as night.

Right now, the main body on the divine path was trapped and nearing its end, sensing a response from the avatar immediately.

"How can such a monster exist in this world!?"

His heart was filled with fear.

Yet at the next moment, he too sensed something.

The terrifying monster’s Divine Sense Ability had destroyed his Divine Country, exterminated almost all the Holy Spirits under his command. With no more Spirit interference, it was about to lock onto his position precisely, and the Power of Decomposition was spreading rapidly toward his avatar.

"No! No! No!"

Divine Emperor Rong Guang shouted in terror, wanting to expose at once that the Immortal Venerable and Evil God were one, but...

He embarrassingly found he didn’t know the other’s name.

Moreover, as a Golden Immortal accusing an Immortal Venerable in such an absurd way, no one would believe it.

Even if someone did, the Immortal Venerable only needed to reveal this Golden Immortal was indeed the avatar of a Divine Spirit, and naturally, no one would investigate an Immortal Venerable over the death claims of a mere Divine Spirit avatar.

Especially when the Immortal Venerable had just annihilated hundreds of Divine Spirits.

Therefore, only one person could avenge him...

He sent the message to God Emperor Yongyang as quickly as possible!

"Your Majesty, all of this is..."

"Buzz!"

Qingguang permeated.

Before the Divine Emperor had a chance to finish, Gu Jinlai’s Divine Sense Ability had already suppressed him, freezing his thoughts completely.

However, seemingly affected by some influence or other factors, the originally frozen thoughts once again moved briefly before death, sending another message: "It was all Yuan Miao’s doing; he and the Immortal Venerable are fundamentally the same..."

"Hmm, that’s much better."

As his Divine Sense Ability was utterly solidified and decomposed, it seemed he vaguely heard Yuan Miao, the entity fused with the Immortal Venerable and Evil God, nodding in satisfaction towards him.

In an instant, a flash of lightning crossed Divine Emperor Rong Guang’s mind.

Yuan Miao...

Did it intentionally allow him to convey this half-truth?

Sadly, this thought and the truth he stumbled upon at the brink of death, he was no longer able to convey to anyone.

...

Ashen Star Domain.

On a starship flying at full speed, there were not many divine entities onboard, but without exception, they were all beings of the Divine King and Divine Emperor level.

Among them, the leader was conspicuously one of the Supreme Council elders of the Ten Thousand Gods Realm and also one of its rulers, the God Emperor Yongyang.

"It’s a message from Rong Guang’s avatar, and only half was sent!? His avatar has fallen, so what about the main body..."

The God Emperor looked at the message sent by Rong Guang before his death, his expression subtly changed: "The meaning of his information is... Yuan Miao has indeed sided with that Immortal Venerable? He stands on the same line as that Immortal Venerable? Is it to save his life, or has he already been subdued by that Immortal Venerable?"

"It’s impossible for a Human Clan Immortal Venerable to collaborate with an Evil God; it’s a recipe for disaster! Once it is found out that there are ties with the Evil God, even being an Immortal Venerable, he can’t escape being implicated. Even if he has a Great Power backing him, it won’t protect him! The other five major races will pressure them to hand over this Immortal Venerable as a warning to others!"

A Divine Emperor behind God Emperor Yongyang said: "The Evil God of the Cosmic Heart must be sealed by the joint efforts of the six strongest races. At this time, any one of the six factions fears that if the other races develop untoward ideas, it may lead to chaos, so they must take decisive action and show no leniency! Otherwise, a single misstep could result in the other five races bearing an unbearable cost!"

God Emperor Yongyang nodded: "We have already disseminated information through our channels about this Immortal Venerable’s collaboration with the Evil God, although we haven’t obtained evidence yet. If that Immortal Venerable doesn’t want to leave room for accusations, he must execute Yuan Miao..."

At this moment, another Divine Emperor suddenly approached and reported: "Your Majesty, our latest intel indicates that Yuan Miao is fleeing at high speed toward the depths of the Cosmic Heart."

"Hmm!?"

God Emperor Yongyang suddenly thought of something and ordered abruptly: "Notify the other eight Great Divine Emperors, we must pursue."

The few Divine Emperors didn’t understand the reasoning but quickly obeyed God Emperor Yongyang’s command.

One of the Divine Emperors said: "In this way, our encirclement formation is scattered, and it may result in being defeated one by one by that Immortal Venerable."

"I found it strange before, Yuan Miao, as long as he has some sense, should understand that collaborating with an Immortal Venerable to deal with us of the Divine Race is simply courting death. That Immortal Venerable would never give him a chance to survive after using him. But he still did it... Now it seems, he clearly has some secret technique allowing him to escape from under the Immortal Venerable’s nose in a short time, or perhaps... he was waiting for the moment we spread the news about the Immortal Venerable and the Evil God’s collusion."

God Emperor Yongyang said in a stern voice: "This time, all hands are on deck, whether it’s that Immortal Venerable or Evil God Yuan Miao, we must deal with one to give an account to the gods of the Ten Thousand Gods Realm, otherwise..."

The loss of faith among divine entities in the Ten Thousand Gods Realm is linked to the crumbling foundation of the Divine Race’s rise, this is definitely not mere rhetoric.

After all, these God Emperors harbored a deeper plan.

That is to use the Ten Thousand Gods Realm as a foundation to forge a Super Divine System.

The strength of divine entities comes from group willpower.

A divine system led by a God Emperor can contend against a Great Immortal Venerable.

If the Ten Thousand Gods Realm can unify tens of thousands of divine entities...

With the backing of collective willpower, even Great Powers would avoid facing them at their peak.

At that time, the Divine Race would truly be a Supreme Race.

Moreover, once the Divine Race sheds the fate of being suppressed by Cultivators and constantly hiding, their fearlessness trait will lead more and more Immortal Golden Immortals to join the family of divine entities, when the number of divine entities in the Ten Thousand Gods Realm exceeds one million...

The Divine Race will surely rise above the Evil Gods, becoming the number one race in the universe.

With this thought, he declared resolutely: "Yuan Miao must die!"

...

At this moment, Gu Jinlai had already rushed out of the Ashen Star Domain, heading towards the Cosmic Heart.

He knew that the Ten Thousand Gods Realm surely had a way to monitor his movements, likely related to the Divine Origin Plate, or even connected to his previous entry into the Ten Thousand Gods Realm.

If he could calm down and devote some time, he could erase these traces.

But...

Without these traces for tracking, how could he lure those divine entities into coming?

With this mindset, he directly burst through the encirclement formed by the nine Great God Emperors.

In the process, he even had a long-distance skirmish with a squad led by a God Emperor, showing battle power equivalent to conventional Evil Gods, which is on par with a Divine Emperor, verifying people’s speculation about him.

Then, he began leading these God Emperors on a chase.

As an Immortal Venerable possessing numerous Space Dao Immortal Immortal Devices and Flowing Light Immortal Immortal Devices, he fully activated Boundaryless Worlds, leaving those God Emperors unable to catch up with him.

This process lasted for three months, during which the Immortal Venerables of the Fire Cloud Palace, Light Council, and Void Sword Sect were all stirred.

One by one, Immortal Venerables and Immortal Golden Immortals were dispatched, heading straight for this battlefield.

The nine God Emperors and hundreds of Divine Emperors flaunting themselves within Human Clan territory, no matter how tolerant the three overlords of the New Fire Star Sea might be, could not endure it.

In this situation, the nine God Emperors had no choice but to scatter, retreat, and hide.

As they split up, Gu Jinlai turned from hunted to hunter, even managing to trap and kill a Divine Emperor under a God Emperor’s command.

This cat-and-mouse strategy, where you pursue he flees, you flee he pursues, directly incited the God Emperors of the Ten Thousand Gods Realm to wrath, and the bounty on him in the Ten Thousand Gods Realm quickly escalated!

In an instant, a pursuit operation that almost mobilized all divine entities’ power in the Ten Thousand Gods Realm was initiated.
