High-Level Martial Era

Becoming the Star Domain Master is something that cannot be concealed... Thus, in a very short time, all major forces in the Divine Realm had come to know.

"Is this the Star Domain Master already?"

"So, the Heart Origin God King practiced the Clone Secret Technique before ascending to God King?" The Divine Kings of various major forces readily came to this conclusion and quickly reached a consensus.

The reason is very simple.

Since the Beichen Star opened, the Divine Kings from various forces had been observing outside the Beichen Star... If Li Yuan's true body had sneaked out from the Beichen Star, it would be almost impossible to avoid detection.

Then, only one possibility remains—Li Yuan had long practiced using clones.

"I admit I laughed."

"When the Heart Origin God King was still in the Heavenly God Realm, the Abyss Divine Court, Wandao Divine Court, and Purple Crow Universe had been hunting him down, forcing him into the Earth Split Abyss... No wonder the Heart Origin God King dared to venture into the Earth Split Abyss at that time; after all, the fall was just a clone, not a true demise."

"The Heart Origin God King truly has patience."

"In my place, I would show patience too, just to watch the Abyss Divine Court make a fool of themselves! Now, the Abyss Divine Court is really in a quandary."

"So many Divine Kings' true bodies gathered, intending to stir up a God King war... Haha, and in the end, the target has become the Star Domain Master."

"As Star Domain Master, the Heart Origin God King is destined to never die." The Divine Kings of various major forces exchanged views, expressing mixed feelings, while also focusing on the movements of the Abyss Divine Court.

The Divine Realm is vast.

But to those at the level of Divine Kings and Divine Emperors, it isn't that large... The Divine Kings can sense each other through the cause and effect, can deduce fate, and there's observation from Divine Emperors as well.

Therefore, to carry out large-scale mobilization and gatherings while keeping it hidden from opposing forces is almost impossible.

The Abyss Divine Court's intention to start a war is something almost everyone knows.

...

Including the Wandao Divine Court, other major forces in the Divine Realm watch with a mindset of entertainment, but within the Abyss Divine Court, the atmosphere is rather oppressive.

Above that red mountain range on the Abyss Star.

Numerous Divine King incarnations congregated again to discuss the matter.

The core question was one—whether to continue the war.

"The situation is clear to all the Divine Kings," said Silver Calamity God King, with the appearance of a huge serpent, in an icy voice, "Heart Origin has become the Star Domain Master; we've missed the last chance to eliminate him."

"He actually practiced with clones."

"Is it the Perfect Star Skill? The Clone Star Skill?"

"If it's the Clone Star Skill, reaching the Eighth Rank usually allows one to cultivate a third true body, and the training speed for the Clone Star Skill is much faster than for 'Space Avatars'," speculated one Divine King.

If clones are trained using Star Techniques, it becomes much easier with a foundation. As long as there are enough Eternal Crystals or rare treasures, it typically only takes decades.

But if cloning is based on Space Law, essentially nurturing clones with Inner Heaven and Earth, the time taken is far longer... and there are no shortcuts.

At least several thousand years.

This is also why the Abyss Divine Court was determined to kill Li Yuan.

"I worked hard to bring over another true body from the Immortal Heaven and Earth... Sigh."

"Me too, coming over from the Demon Blood Domain, consuming hundreds of Square Eternal Crystals, too much of a loss."

"Is he really just a Nine Star Meridian? Counting this Clone Star Skill, how many Perfect Star Skills has he actually cultivated?"

"What now?"

"Should the war continue?" The Divine Kings of the Abyss Divine Court argued back and forth, with some complaining, and others raising further doubts.

Suddenly.

"Silence!" A low voice rang out, instantly suppressing all voices of the Divine Kings.

Immediately, all the Divine Kings looked towards the source of the voice—Demon Cloud God King.

As the current first God King of the Abyss Divine Court and trusted by the Divine Emperor, the status of Demon Cloud God King was exceedingly high, far exceeding other Divine Kings.

"Let's have a resolution."

"Those who do not agree to continue the war, send a message to the Abyssal Will." Demon Cloud God King said in a deep voice.

The Abyssal Will, namely the Abyss Star's Will... also the protective spirit left by the Abyss Divine Emperor, absolutely fair and just.

A moment later.

"Fourteen Divine Kings do not agree to continue the war, more than half the number." A slightly cold voice resounded, "The actions of war against the Heart Origin God King are halted."

Obviously, knowing that they couldn't truly kill Li Yuan, many Divine Kings chose to retreat.

After all, it was already certain the goal could not be achieved. Once war starts, there would instead be great risks...

It should be noted that the Chaos Divine Court is also preparing for war!

Although the Divine Kings are not at risk of losing their lives, if an avatar falls, even without counting the treasures carried, recreating an avatar also requires a substantial amount of time.

Time is very precious to the Divine Kings.

Just as numerous Divine King incarnations were about to leave.

Suddenly.

"Gentlemen," a trace of surprise flashed in Demon Cloud God King's eyes, as he said in a deep voice, "The Divine Emperor has sent a message... hoping that we can engage in this battle, not seeking to completely kill the Heart Origin God King, but to just eradicate the true body of the Heart Origin God King remaining on the Beichen Star."

"The Divine Emperor promises that if an avatar falls in battle, he will compensate for everyone's losses."

"If you can kill this true body of the Heart Origin God King... there will be additional rewards," Demon Cloud God King said solemnly.

Many Divine Kings were taken aback.

Everyone had heard it; it seems the great Abyss Divine Emperor was highly concerned with the Heart Origin God King... even committing to full efforts just to eradicate one clone of the Heart Origin God King.

Why? All the Divine Kings were pondering.

For reputation's sake? How could it be!

Historically, the Abyss Divine Court had faced more than one major setback, but the Abyss Divine Court rarely intervened, mostly leaving decisions to the Divine Kings... Clearly, this time, the Heart Origin God King is very unique.

Why?

What is the Divine Emperor's purpose?

"Gentlemen, in that case, let's vote once more." Demon Cloud God Emperor's gaze swept across the crowd.
