Nuclear-powered Sword Immortal

"War? Alliance?"

Gu Jinlai's heart skipped a beat, he quickly linked it to the cooperation between Yuan Mou and Nie Yu.

Although Divine Spirits and Divine Calamities are both hunted by Golden Immortals, these two races are as incompatible as water and fire.

Or rather, Divine Calamities, Evil Gods, and any intelligent life are incompatible.

Because His essence is to degrade all power, integrate it into Himself, and make it His own.

Yet, in such a situation, Yuan Mou and Nie Yu actually chose to cooperate, intending to abduct Chi Tianyuan, this Supreme Golden Immortal, direct disciple of an Immortal Venerable...

This in itself is quite problematic.

Could it be...

Evil Gods and Divine Spirits have joined forces?

For a moment, the Divine Sense ability, dyed by Qingguang, also slightly paused.

"Which Ancient God power awakening Divine Calamity are you?"

God Emperor Leize asked in a deep voice, and then, as if realizing something, his expression changed to one of shock: "A newly awakened Divine Calamity power couldn't possibly reach your level, you're a top-tier Divine Calamity whose awakening is long completed, soon to transform into an Evil God!? Or have you already completed the transformation!?"

Gu Jinlai didn't respond directly, but instead asked, "What's this talk about a war, an alliance?"

God Emperor Leize didn't speak, but his Divine Will quickly spread along with the Divine Sense power dyed by Qingguang.

"Hmm!?"

This scene made Gu Jinlai's expression change, his Divine Sense power, dyed by Qingguang, continuously permeated and quickly degraded God Emperor Leize's Divine Will, with a part of it directly aiming to kill that demigod.

That demigod was indeed the coordinate for God Emperor Leize to maintain his descent, eliminating him would naturally dissipate God Emperor Leize's threat.

"Don't misunderstand, I was just reconfirming, after all, it is astonishing for a Divine Calamity to grow to such a level."

God Emperor Leize quickly retracted his Divine Will to show his sincerity.

However, Gu Jinlai didn't slow down his actions at all, the demigod's will was quickly shattered by Gu Jinlai, and as his will fragmented into nothingness, the Void Projection Technique spread, quickly annihilating the demigod completely.

The God Emperor did not stop this, merely separating part of his Will Power in advance to condense it into a silhouette similar to a projection.

"This projection of mine is so weak that even a First-Rank Golden Immortal can erase it, I presume sir will no longer worry about me being a threat to you."

God Emperor Leize spoke.

"Have the Ancient Divine Race and the Divine Race really joined forces to launch a counterattack on the Heart of the Cosmic's defense line?"

Gu Jinlai also withdrew the Void Projection Technique.

The Divine Race, Ancient Divine Race, are the self-referred terms by the Divine Spirits and Evil Gods.

"Indeed."

God Emperor Leize nodded: "This counterattack has not only received unanimous approval from the Divine Emperor Council of our Divine Race, but also twelve Supreme Ancient Gods from the Ancient Divine Race will join this plan."

At this point, this Divine Spirit's consciousness paused slightly: "Over the years, our two races have suffered relentless persecution by the lineage of Golden Immortals, it's time to make them pay."

"The Heart of the Cosmic's defense line is as solid as gold, if the Ancient Gods could truly break through the Heart of the Cosmic, they wouldn't have waited until now."

Gu Jinlai acted as if he truly was of the "Ancient Divine Race" posturing.

"Therefore, we need everyone's strength."

God Emperor Leize said, "This time, we have chosen twelve breakthrough points, each breakthrough point corresponds to a Supreme Ancient God, and on our side, the corresponding is the Firewood Ancient God! A powerful entity that once stood undefeated against six Great Powers, as long as we provide a little coordination on this side and mobilize the defensive forces at the breakthrough point, the Firewood Ancient God can break out of the Heart of the Cosmic and truly descend upon the world."

"How do you plan to cooperate?"

Gu Jinlai inquired.

"If sir is willing to join us, we will naturally inform you of the arrangements when the time comes."

God Emperor Leize said, his tone pausing: "This breakthrough requires many responsibilities, even Divine Calamities and Ancient God incarnations imbued with terrifying power will appear directly outside the Fire Cloud Palace, Void Sword Sect, and Light Council to attract their attention..."

"Heh, I think we can skip the suicide mission talk."

Gu Jinlai immediately interrupted.

"Currently, we lack manpower in this Star Domain, this Star Domain is extremely crucial, it's a key node in the construction of the second defense line of the New Fire Star Sea warzone of the Heart of the Cosmic. If we can break through it, a gap will inevitably appear in the second defense line, and with the entire line under immense pressure, this gap can become a fatal weakness, causing the entire second defense line of the New Fire Star Sea to collapse."

God Emperor Leize explained, extending a virtual hand, projecting the Yanhuang Star Domain not far from the Taibai Star Domain.

"The Domain Master of this Star Domain has just taken office, his control over the Star Domain is weak, and he himself is not considered powerful, making it the best breakthrough point. Moreover, to ensure we conquer this Star Domain and destroy the key Array therein, our side of the Ancient God lineage will descend more than a hundred powerful incarnations, and our Divine Race will deploy one hundred eighty Divine Spirits!"

"How many!"

Gu Jinlai's emotions rippled with a wave: "One hundred eighty Divine Spirits!?"

"Indeed, one hundred eighty Divine Spirits plus over a hundred powerful Ancient God incarnations, even with reinforcements from surrounding Star Domains, this still represents a force several times that of the enemy,"

God Emperor Leize continued, his tone full of confidence: "Furthermore, this operation will be personally led by me, Rong Guang, Xuanming, Anchen, and nine other Divine Emperors!"

Gu Jinlai inhaled sharply.

One hundred eighty Divine Spirits!

And it includes nine Divine Emperors, at least thirty or forty Divine Kings!? Over a hundred Divine Spirits!?

What an enormous amount of Qingguang is this?

Definitely not less than three million.

"I will join..."

"When the war breaks out, you can wreak havoc in the Xuanhuang Star Domain, devour any Stars you wish to consume, and revel to your heart's content, rather than sneaking around like you are now... Hmm!?"

God Emperor Leize paused: "What did you say?"

"I will join."

Gu Jinlai responded eagerly and provided a reason in passing: "I'm already tired of this life of hiding everywhere, I can't stand another day of it."

God Emperor Leize listened, feeling his arguments were unnecessary, but had no doubts about Gu Jinlai's straightforward agreement.

"A wise choice."

Under the suppression and slaughter by the Golden Immortals, life for the Evil Gods and Divine Spirits has indeed become exceedingly difficult.

Now with the opportunity to openly walk in the cosmic starry sky, no Evil God or Divine Spirit would want to miss it.

"When do we take action?"

Gu Jinlai asked "impatiently," adding, "Do we act individually or meet up in advance?"

"If we act individually, once exposed, we will be picked off one by one. Naturally, we should meet up in advance and then crush the Yanhuang Star Domain Master Mansion with overwhelming force. As for when to meet and take action, I'll give you a Divine Origin Plate to guide you to our Divine Race headquarters - the Ten Thousand Gods Realm. After you enter the Ten Thousand Gods Realm, I will assign you to our Yanhuang Star Domain battle group..."

When God Emperor Leize spoke to this point, he paused slightly: "We will certainly take action within a millennium."

A millennium!?

Gu Jinlai was taken aback.

Do the Evil Gods and Divine Spirits move so slowly?

Isn't it said that speed is of the essence in warfare?

However, he naturally could not expose this thought.

"Understood,"

Gu Jinlai replied.

"In the coming period, we're allies on the same front. During this time, if you encounter danger, you can even ask other Divine Spirits for help... Of course, they have the right to refuse. To win them over, it's best to offer some compensation."

God Emperor Leize said.

"No problem, no problem,"

Gu Jinlai responded readily.

"In a month, the Divine Origin Plate will appear at this coordinate, you can go and fetch it then."

God Emperor Leize gave Gu Jinlai a location, and his figure quickly vanished.

"One month."

Gu Jinlai took a deep breath.

In a flash, he returned to the Star Shuttle and activated the Formless Pearl.

He pondered for a moment and, considering the attitude of the Qin family, Qin Yuyan and others towards him, took out the Communication Jade Token.

Not long after, the Communication Talisman projected Qin Yuyan's light form.

"Changqing, did you encounter danger? Where are you now?"

As soon as she appeared, the Yanhuang Star Domain Master asked impatiently.

"I'm not in danger, but by a fortunate coincidence, I've just slain a Divine Spirit and extracted some information from him."

Gu Jinlai said in a deep voice, "The Evil Gods have already allied with the Divine Spirits and plan to assault the Heart of the Cosmic defense line."

Upon hearing Gu Jinlai's words, Qin Yuyan's expression was somewhat unusual.

After a while, she said, "Actually, the higher-ups have already caught wind of this..."

Gu Jinlai was stunned.

"If such a large movement by the Evil Gods and Divine Spirits went unnoticed by us, the Heart of the Cosmic would have been breached long ago."

Qin Yuyan paused slightly in her speech, "Though I'm unaware of the higher-ups' exact plans, things shouldn't develop as you imagine."

Gu Jinlai felt both surprised and that it made perfect sense.

As Qin Yuyan said, if they hadn't grasped any clues about such large-scale actions by the Evil Gods and Divine Spirits, the ruling species of the cosmos wouldn't be humans, Star Spirits, and Innate Sacred beings.

"I guess I overthought it."

"Be careful, it's best to hunt only Demigods. Avoid provoking the Divine Spirits lightly, otherwise, you might end up antagonizing a whole hive,"

Qin Yuyan cautioned.

Gu Jinlai had an epiphany: "Does Domain Master Qin have more traces of Divine Spirits in the Yanhuang Star Domain than you're letting on?"

"Yes, but we're unsure. We naturally exclude all uncertain suspicions,"

Qin Yuyan said.

Gu Jinlai was speechless.

So the Demigod information Qin Yuyan provided was chosen to ensure he faced no danger?

No wonder the number is so small.

Although the Qin family meant well, still...

For the first time, Gu Jinlai felt a lack of having his own completely independent force, which was indeed inconvenient.

After all, he had too many secrets to hide.

"I understand."

"The Inner Mansion Honorable Daoist assessment is about to start. You should visit the Honorable Daoist Mansion's library. Its collection is richer than our Fire Cloud Palace's. Staying there for a few hundred years to enrich your foundation will greatly help in your future cultivation,"

"I know,"

Gu Jinlai nodded.

After chatting with Qin Yuyan for a while, he traveled on the Star Shuttle to a location not far from the coordinates God Emperor Leize had mentioned and dispatched an incarnation to successfully retrieve the Divine Origin Plate.

He spent several months carefully examining the treasure to ensure no traps or hidden mechanisms were left behind. Only then did he project part of his Divine Sense, following the guidance of the Divine Origin Plate, into the so-called Ten Thousand Gods Realm.

In an instant...

Countless waves of Divine Spirit wills flooded Gu Jinlai's perception.

Divine Spirits!

An innumerable multitude of Divine Spirits!
