Chapter 815: Demonstration
Gu Jinlai enthusiastically built a relationship with a Divine Spirit and followed him straight to the Divine Spirits' main camp where they were constructing the Realm Gate.
On the other side, when the news of Yan Bai and Yan Lie being surrounded and killed by thirty Divine Spirits spread, the Immortal from the Honorable Daoist Mansion, and the waiting Star Spirit Clan Immortals outside, were greatly shocked.
Qin Yuanzhen was both shocked and angry, and he sternly rebuked Qi Yunsheng: "What on earth is going on? Qi Yunsheng, you must give me an explanation! Why did such a major lapse occur in the Star Prison managed by both your Honorable Daoist Mansion and the Hidden Dragon Star Domain Master Mansion!? Thirty Divine Spirits! Including two Divine Kings!? How exactly are you overseeing this Star Prison!?"
"Now our Star Spirit Yan Clan not only lost a promising future Immortal Venerable Seed, but even our Star Spirit Yan Clan Immortal landed inside too. Such a good job by the New Fire Star Sea Dao Venerate Mansion! If your New Fire Star Sea Dao Venerate Mansion can't ensure the Daoist Masters' safety, then we'll mobilize our Star Spirit Yan Clan army and find someone ourselves!"
Yan Chi was also extremely furious.
Qi Yunsheng's forehead was covered with fine sweat, and his expression was full of tension.
He knew that with this incident, his career was over, and he might even have to go to the Heart of the Cosmic battlefield to atone for his sins.
The Star Prison actually had over thirty Divine Spirits appear!?
This is without knowing if these thirty Divine Spirits include the previous eleven Divine Spirits. If not, then it's a total of forty-one Divine Spirits!
Forty-one Divine Spirits!
The Hidden Dragon Star Domain's Star Prison has become a nest of Divine Spirits.
However, now is not the time for worry. It's necessary to quickly come up with a remedy and minimize losses.
"Please calm down, everyone. For one, or two, or eight to ten Divine Spirits to appear in the Star Prison, it might be due to our inadequate surveillance. But for as many as thirty or forty Divine Spirits to be present...clearly, they are plotting a huge conspiracy! This situation is an act of God..."
Qi Yunsheng hurriedly said.
"What nonsense act of God! If you kept a high level of surveillance on the Star Prison, could such an immense change in the Star Prison occur without you being aware?"
Qin Yuanzhen impatiently waved his hand, showing no mercy: "What are you still standing here for? Send a message to the Immortal Venerable of the Honorable Daoist Mansion, contact the Hidden Dragon Star Domain Master, and seek reinforcements!"
Though Qi Yunsheng was scolded by Qin Yuanzhen, he also reacted quickly, immediately taking out a Communication Jade Token.
One message was sent to the Immortal Venerable Tai Heng and several Vice Mansion Masters stationed at the Honorable Daoist Mansion, while another message was directly sent to Hidden Dragon Star Domain Master Zhen Jinhui, asking him to lead the army to suppress the Star Prison riot.
However, the Pavilion Master of Honorable Daoist Mansion, the Immortal Venerable who usually does not deal with trivial matters as he is mostly meditating in seclusion, naturally would react a beat slower.
The remaining Vice Mansion Masters dared not rashly enter without understanding the exact situation of the Star Prison.
After all, the Star Prison now had forty-one Divine Spirits, but who knows if there might be another forty-one, or even four hundred and ten Divine Spirits hiding in the shadows.
It would not be too late to act once the Hidden Dragon Star Domain Master led the Hidden Dragon Army to arrive.
…
The Hidden Dragon Star Domain mobilized troops, practically causing a stir across the entire Star Domain.
A month later, the army was fully assembled and directly entered the Star Prison.
At this point, Gu Jinlai had already arrived at the location of the Realm Gate construction with the Divine Spirit.
Gu Jinlai could vaguely see on a star with a diameter over ten thousand miles, already considered a planet, a convergence of powerful auras.
Amidst those powerful auras, the fluctuations formed by the Space Avenue condensed by the Realm Gate were also clearly visible.
Before Gu Jinlai could reach the star, two Divine Kings had already arrived quickly leading more than twenty Divine Spirits.
They seemed to be welcoming him, but there was an evident hint of caution in their movement.
Clearly, that Divine Spirit did not completely trust Gu Jinlai's words beforehand, fearing his strength which was unfathomable, so he brought him to their camp first.
If Gu Jinlai was truly one of them, then naturally there would be mutual happiness.
If he harbored ill intentions...
They had over a hundred Divine Spirits on their side, along with top-level Divine Calamity Cultivators. As long as it wasn't an Immortal Venerable or Divine Emperor coming, any wrong thoughts would be easily subdued.
"Your presence seems a bit unfamiliar. How should I address you?"
The leading Divine King greeted Gu Jinlai.
"There are tens of thousands of members in the Ten Thousand Gods Realm, so it's normal for you not to recognize me. However, I was invited to the Ten Thousand Gods Realm by God Emperor Leize himself. Have you heard of it?"
Gu Jinlai said, taking out the Divine Origin Plate, and deliberately activating a wisp of aura belonging to God Emperor Leize within it.
"God Emperor Leize?"
Upon hearing this, the Divine King was greatly assured: "His Majesty's name is indeed well-known to me. It seems like Your Majesty truly is on our side. Please come in."
Gu Jinlai nodded, and at the same time, he glanced at this star, pretending to be surprised: "It seems to me... are there not enough Divine Spirits in this Star Prison? You've been developing for so long, surely it can't be."
"After all, the Hidden Dragon Star Domain is human clan territory, different from other peripheral star domains. It's not easy for us to take action, and besides, although there are only thirty-four Divine Spirits left here, it's mainly because we sent two teams, one to support Black Sun and others, and the other to hunt down the Star Spirit Clan's Golden Immortal and Immortal."
The Divine King said with a smile: "That Star Spirit Clan Immortal has been surrounded and killed by us, and its corpse serves as a resource to fill the Realm Gate. That Star Spirit Clan genius Golden Immortal named Yan Lie has also fallen into our hands. When the new Divine Calamities are projected here and completed degradation, they can also serve as resources to fill the Realm Gate... These Star Spirits are each quite wealthy, with lots of treasures. With the treasures on them and Your Majesty's supply, the Realm Gate will soon be complete."
"Thirty-four? Sent out two teams, and still managed to kill the Star Spirit Clan Immortal, and capture Yan Lie?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Jinlai interrupted before the Divine King could request resources: "I want to meet with Lord Yuan Xiu."
After saying this, he gestured slightly, and a divine force tinted with Qing Lian rippled out.
At this scene, the faces of the Divine Spirits in the area changed.
"Divine Calamity!? No, Ancient Divine Race!?"
"Your Majesty is also from the Ancient Divine Race?"
"Indeed."
Gu Jinlai said, "The Divine Race and the Ancient Divine Race have allied; I don't need to explain this, do I?"
"Of course."
These divine spirits were still somewhat wary of Gu Jinlai, who was regarded as a divine calamity.
Divine calamities come in two forms.
One is when an evil god avatar develops consciousness and evolves.
The other...
Is like Yuan Xiu and Yuan Mou, who possess special tasks, with the evil god behind them allowing or even aiding them in developing consciousness.
The former is one thing, but if it's the latter...
It often means that an evil god stands behind them, one so powerful that even the great powers fear it, an ancient evil god.
Because only the eighteen ancient evil gods can partially control the creation of divine calamities.
"I will take you to see Lord Yuan Xiu now."
This Divine King, adhering to the idea of "the Ancient Divine Race handles matters of the Ancient Divine Race," asked no more and quickly led him to the heart of the star.
Inside the star, in front of a towering realm gate three thousand meters high, Yuan Xiu was continually fusing treasures capable of activating the Space Avenue into the realm gate.
Each time he fused one, the realm gate's ability to activate the Space Avenue grew stronger.
When Gu Jinlai was brought by the Divine King, the divine calamity did not stop his work.
Evidently, compared to Yuan Mou, who had only been born for a few decades, Yuan Xiu was much more mature in temperament and thought.
"Tu Cha? Has the Golden Immortal been sent?"
Yuan Xiu asked directly, "We have already been exposed, and before long, the army of the Hidden Dragon Star Domain will advance into the Star Prison for a targeted siege against us. At that time, an Immortal Venerable might even appear. We must ensure the realm gate can be activated by the time the army arrives; otherwise, we will be trapped!"
"Lord, a member of your Ancient Divine Race seems to be seeking you for a discussion."
The Divine King, named Tu Cha, responded, bringing Gu Jinlai out.
"One of my clansmen? Isn't this a Human Clan Golden Immortal?"
Yuan Xiu said, then realized Tu Cha wouldn't make such a basic mistake, feeling slightly surprised, "Is that your disguise? So clever, even I couldn't tell?"
"No, you're wrong, I am indeed a human."
Gu Jinlai smiled slightly.
Beside him, the Divine King Tu Cha found the sudden erratic behavior of divine calamities perplexing, but still explained, "You can easily prove your identity by exhibiting your Power of Decomposition or presenting the Divine Origin Plate."
Yuan Xiu pondered, "I was just curious about why a new force of decomposition appeared outside this Meteor Star, so that was you? But that's not important; what's important is my interest in how you managed such a seamless disguise."
Saying this, the divine calamity scrutinized Gu Jinlai: "How did you accomplish this? On you, I even sensed the Power of Dao. When you harmonize with the Dao, won't it be dissolved by our decomposition power? Did you use some treasure? Immortal Artifact? But that can't be right! No treasure, no Immortal Artifact can resist our decomposition power."
The more he spoke, the more curious he became, "How did you do it?"
"Hahaha, it's a secret."
Gu Jinlai laughed freely, "But I can demonstrate my Power of Dao for you."
"Oh? Show me."
Yuan Xiu was full of anticipation.
A divine calamity could disguise himself as a Human Clan Golden Immortal...
If other members of the Ancient Divine Race could also master this ability, they could infiltrate the depths of the Human Clan, decompose, infiltrate, and before the Human Clan realized anything, they could disguise themselves within the Human Clan. Then...
"It's simple, watch carefully."
Gu Jinlai said, directly invoking the Space, Destruction, and Devouring Avatars.
Under the surprised gaze of the divine calamity, the Thirteenth Rank Divine Sense Ability launched instantly...
For a moment, a force strong enough to overpower Divine King-level descended with a roar.
Originally in a demonstration state, the Space, Destruction, and Devouring Avatars, stimulated by this terrifying Divine Sense Ability, directly caused the Void to tremble, with energy fluctuations surpassing those from the realm gate laden with countless resources.
"Lord!?"
The Divine King Tu Cha beside him couldn't help but exclaim.
"Not good!"
Yuan Xiu sensed the anomaly and withdrew swiftly.
But unfortunately...
The speed of Particle Sword Intent was incredibly fast!?
Almost at the instant he retreated, the Particle Sword Intent, carrying the tremors of a crumbling Void, enveloped him.
Suddenly, the divine calamity, whose battle strength rivaled the Cultivation Venerable Qian Jixiu, disintegrated into a field of azure light, illuminating the star.
