High-Level Martial Era

"Alright."

"Re-vote."

Soon, the result of the re-voting came out again—no one opposed continuing the war.

Although the God Kings have high autonomy, they mostly follow the orders of the Divine Emperor.

This time, with the Divine Emperor backing them, the God Kings of the Abyss Divine Court were naturally no longer worried.

"Everyone, let's go back and continue preparing." Demon Cloud God King said deeply, then they each dispersed.

Watched a God King's incarnation disappear one by one.

"The Divine Emperor is so determined against a newly ascended God King, just to annihilate a single incarnation, he would cause such a disturbance." Demon Cloud God King pondered: "Could it be... because of Beichen Star?"

"Could it be that the Divine Emperor believes Heart Origin God King will obtain something significant from Beichen Star?" Demon Cloud God King's eyes lit up.

At that moment, he thought more.

He remembered some extremely ancient legends about the Abyss Divine Emperor and Beichen Star.

Like the nine Beichen Orders.

"In terms of understanding Beichen Star deeply, probably no one in the Divine Realm surpasses the Divine Emperor." Demon Cloud God King believed he guessed some truths.

...

Chaos Divine Court Headquarters, Li Yuan's true body, quickly received a large number of transmissions.

"Congratulations!"

"Congratulations to Heart Origin Brother."

"Heart Origin Brother ascending as Star Domain Master, expanding territory for our Divine Realm, is indeed a great story." Many God Kings from the Three Great Emperor Palaces sent their transmissions, mostly congratulations.

"These God Kings."

"Previously, when the news was announced that I ascended to God King, although some God Kings sent congratulations, there weren't so many." Li Yuan felt somewhat surprised.

"It's quite normal." Dong Mang God King's incarnation, also in Li Yuan's palace, smiled: "Earlier, when it was said you ascended to God King, but after all, it wasn't truly confirmed... Becoming a Star Domain Master means you have comprehended Space Law, they can confirm it 100%."

"Secondly, becoming a Star Domain Master means you have the confidence of 'immortality', naturally you receive more respect." Dong Mang God King explained.

"Generally."

"In our Divine Court, newly ascended God King becomes Star Domain Master, then a grand celebration is held, usually at Chaos Divine Court Headquarters or in your Star Domain." Dong Mang God King looked at Li Yuan: "Junior Brother, do you plan to hold the celebration soon, or?"

"Celebration?"

"There's no rush." Li Yuan shook his head: "Wait for my other true body to return from Beichen Star, it's just three hundred years."

"Alright." Dong Mang God King saw no objections.

"By the way."

"Senior Brother, I have something I'm curious about." Li Yuan suddenly said: "According to the information obtained from Divine Court inquiry, the whole Divine Realm should only have about two hundred God Kings in this generation."

"But why, in my perception, are there over five thousand Star Domain Masters?"

"Haha."

"Believe you already have the answer in your heart, it's a large hidden truth to Heavenly Divine, but to God Kings, it's not a secret, nearly every God King knows." Dong Mang God King smiled: "Since there are so many Star Domain Masters, it also means... there are that many God Kings alive."

"You're correct, the truly living God Kings in the whole Divine Realm actually exceed your imagination... Like my Chaos Divine Court, more than 2000 God Kings are still living." Dong Mang God King solemnly stated.

"So many?" Li Yuan was shocked.

He had thought there were many God Kings alive... but didn't expect so many.

After all, according to the records, only fewer than four thousand God Kings were born throughout the history of Chaos Divine Court, does this mean over half are still alive?

"How is it possible?" Li Yuan was curious.

Divine Emperor can condense their timeline, so they can be active for a long time.

But God Kings?

Why can they achieve it?

"Self-sealing." Dong Mang God King explained: "The inner universe of a Divine Emperor, like Jue Xing Space-Time, Heart Dream Space-Time... God Kings trying to reduce the passage of time on their own is nearly impossible." (Chapter 508)

"But nearing the limit of lifespan, they can hide in the Divine Land Inner Universe, evading the inquiry of Cosmos Time River… Using the 'Power of Time' from the Inner Universe, they can dramatically slow down the flow of their timeline, thus surviving those lengthy ages." Dong Mang God King said.

Li Yuan was astonished.

It's the first time he learned the inner universe of Divine Emperors is so miraculous... but thinking about it, it's not impossible.

"Doesn't that mean, Divine Emperors, can transcend timelines like the Divine Emperor?" Li Yuan couldn't help but ask.

"No!"

"Junior Brother, I made it clear, Divine Emperors transcend the Time River by relying on their near-eternal Dao... but God Kings, essentially, it's a method of evasion, which contradicts the operational rules of the Time River." Dong Mang God King smiled: "Thus, once God Kings evade the world, they cannot reappear in the normal cosmic starry sky."

"Once they appear, they will suffer punishment from the Time River... and quickly perish."

"This punishment is unavoidable, hiding in the Divine Emperor Inner Universe again is useless." Dong Mang God King explained: "Therefore, once God Kings evade the world, they only have one chance to reappear."

"If they reappear again, it leads to certain death."

"Thus, although many God Kings are still alive... within the Divine Realm, they can be essentially considered 'dead'."

"Until the most crucial and critical moment, these God Kings will never reappear."

Li Yuan suddenly understood, no wonder.

In this manner, don't these evading God Kings essentially count as one-time powerhouses?

Shine brilliantly one last time, only to meet demise.

But in a certain sense, this is also the foundation of a superpower... At the most critical moment, the emergence of a multitude of God Kings would be extremely terrifying.

"Approaching the deadline, God Kings will leave many methods to protect their territories, making it difficult for external enemies to breach." Dong Mang God King sighed: "And once a new God King is born in a Permanent Territory, those previously evading God Kings will relinquish their authority."
