NOVEL NEXT Chapter 517: The Goddess of Life Descends!
"Plotting against me again?"
The Beast God sneered coldly, his expression unchanging, giving no face to the other party.
For in the memories he inherited, the latter beings had plotted against him before.
Originally, there was a place for him among the pantheon of gods.
The beasts under his command could easily attain godhood.
And become existences that could rival the Titan God, Incense God, and Heavenly Spirit God.
Even the seat that was rightfully his, after the plot, was stolen by the latter beings.
Allowing them to become gods of the pantheon, that is, Ancestor Gods.
Now, it seemed they were plotting against him once again.
Was Xu Gu that easy to deal with?
Not to mention the possibility of him being the confluence of the ancient Human Clan's destiny, the current power of the Human Clan itself is not easy to confront.
"How could this be possible."
The latter beings spoke indifferently: "The past is past, the present is the present. How can we mention matters of countless eons ago now?
"Of course, you won't be making a move without reward.
"This time, if you successfully thwart him, we will grant you the chance to become a deity. You will achieve the status of Ancestor God in the present world!"
He clearly looked ahead and did not dwell in the past.
Even the way he referred to himself had changed to Ancestor God instead of a mere seated god, more agreeable in every way.
"Just one sentence, and you think you've bought me over?"
The Beast God's smile grew colder:
"To attain godhood, if I were to side with the Human Clan, do you think I would not become a god faster than you?"
The latter beings frowned slightly, and after a moment's hesitation, spoke faintly:
"You may command our forces at will. During our seclusion, you will be the lord of the Divine Court. At the same time, you may choose an ancient Star and open your own Dojo anew.
"Afterwards, your status will be equal to ours. We will aid you in becoming a deity, to achieve the status of Ancestor God in the present world!"
As he spoke, countless runes floated up, forming a pardon decree.
The other few Ancestor Gods, receiving the latter beings' message, contemplated for a moment without hesitation, all corners of their mouths lifted in smiles, releasing runes that condensed into the pardon decree.
Several Ancestor God pardon decrees came together, forming a thing akin to the Heavenly Dao talisman.
The various clauses on it became akin to heavenly commandments.
To be observed by all the divinities within the Divine Court.
"So there is some sincerity after all."
The Beast God perceived this Heavenly Dao talisman as well, his lips curling upward, a pleased mood, readily agreeing to the terms.
"You all, follow me to the Divine Court, to be the lord of the Divine Court."
The Beast God ended the communication, sweeping his hand across, and commanded to the divinities under his command.
"Boom!"
On the ancient star, mountains crumbled, and a Zhi Headed Serpent with snakes for both its head and tail opened and closed its eyes, Chaos light bursting forth as if it could split heaven and earth, terrifying to the extreme.
"May the lord live forever!" the Zhi Headed Serpent roared lowly, offering its congratulations.
Before the words even landed.
With the sky filled with Divine Flames, like the descent of the sun itself, the Bifang divine bird streaked out from the core of the ancient star, also bursting with divine might, jubilantly congratulating:
"May the lord live forever!"
Immediately after, several more formidable silhouettes emerged dominantly, each with an aura terrifying to the extreme.
They were once divinities, also incredibly powerful Divine Beasts, some races even persisted until now, even when the Divine Era ended, they had shone brilliantly during the era of competition among All Clans.
Now, however, they all revere the Beast God.
Towards the Beast God becoming the lord of the Divine Court, they offer heartfelt congratulations.
Surrounded by numerous formidable Divine Beasts, the Beast God thoroughly enjoyed this status, yet, he did not show it, commanding respect naturally, he spoke lightly:
"Summon all divinities currently the Extreme Kings of this world within the Divine Court, to discuss the matter of executing Xu Gu."
The Divine Order was given.
Within the Divine Court, all the divine members were restless.
Those divinities meeting the criteria dared not slack in the slightest, rushing at Extreme Speed towards the location of the Divine Court.
In the Divine Era, the hierarchy was strict, with a clear order of superiors and inferiors, and having inherited the legacies and will of divinities from countless eons ago, it was natural for them not to show any disrespect towards the lord of the Divine Court.
Moreover, the Beast God was extremely formidable in his own right, transcendently powerful, and not an Ancestor God yet surpassing one, had it not been for the joint betrayal by other Ancestor Gods that allowed the latter beings to rise, he would have been the true Ancestor God.
Why would they dare show any disrespect?
"Swoosh!"
Without any surprises, as the Beast God issued the order, the entire Divine Domain Continent began to stir.
Numerous forces were stricken with terror.
Even those forces and mighty beings unaware of the true situation could sense the murderous intent in the air.
Aware that this was the calm before the storm.
An ultimate battle was about to erupt!
The final showdown between the Human Clan and the Divine Court.
...
While the Divine Domain Continent was restless, the Mechanical Sea was no calm sanctuary either.
Indeed, it was even more frantic.
For they had experienced the wrath of the Yang God, and knew the terror of the Human Clan's Savior.
They knew how defying the heavens the Savior was, one who rallied the ancient Human Clan's fortune and symbolized their resurgence!
Under no circumstances could they allow Xu Gu to grow.
Otherwise, when the time came, the gods of the Mechanical Sea might face more than exile.
They might indeed perish entirely.
"The time has come for Xu Gu to pay the price."
"Life, you shall make the journey."
"An era of chaos is approaching; we do not have much time left."
"We will assist in your descent."
Within the Sea of Chaos, the God of Destruction spoke.
With a tone that brooked no dissent.
"As it should be."
The Goddess of Life took a deep breath, already prepared for her descent.
The Sea of Chaos was an immense prison, containing terrifying entities within, and even the various gods inside were not at the top of the food chain.
Descending was extremely difficult.
Even the Sea God, in his attempt to descend, had relied on the power of Atlantis! Of course, he ultimately failed.
Now, the only one who could emerge from the Sea of Chaos was the Goddess of Life.
She would need the support of all forces within the Mechanical Sea.
And the assistance of the various gods in the Sea of Chaos.
Moreover, the price would be tremendous.
"Rest assured, afterwards, we will not leave you shortchanged; there will surely be compensation."
The God of Destruction spoke again, making a promise.
Other various gods also issued formal decrees on the spot, making bindings commitments.
The smile on the Goddess of Life became a bit more radiant.
Without saying anything more, she focused on preparing for the descent.
In the center of the Mechanical Sea, a Life Tree that held countless stars, rooted in Chaos, suddenly burst into Divine Light.
This Divine Light was overwhelmingly bright.
Carrying the power that could transform beings into ascending immortals.
Undergoing an incredibly astonishing metamorphosis.
Numerous runes flickered around, resonating with the Dao, various phenomena swept across the Mechanical Sea.
All Mechanical Life beings leapt for joy instinctively, as though an Immortal True God was about to descend.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Finally, a loud boom resonated, strands of primordial Chaos energy enveloped the Life Tree, turning it into a cocoon, crystal clear, shimmering with otherworldly Immortal Radiance, utterly resplendent.
Awaiting transformation.
All the mighty beings of the Mechanical Sea's life forms surged with excitement, their emotions taut, filled with immense expectation.
Uncertain of how much time had passed,
It seemed like several days, or perhaps weeks, or it could be months, even decades or centuries.
Time around was in disarray.
At last,
With a thunderous roar!
Like the Heaven Creation, all brilliance converged.
The gaze of all life forms centered on the radiance, their minds stirred, expressions frozen, as if witnessing the most inconceivable miracle of their lives.
