Domain of Gods.
After passing through the white light, Ye Xuan and the other two arrived on a sea of clouds. Far ahead, deep within the clouds, stood a golden palace, resplendent and magnificent.
Above the palace gates, three huge characters were carved: Hall of Gods.
The Cosmic Spirit said, “Keep a low profile later.”
Ye Xuan glanced at him. “With you backing us, we have nothing to fear.”
The Cosmic Spirit’s face darkened. “Don’t cause trouble.”
Ye Xuan smiled but said nothing.
He was naturally not here to cause trouble. He had not come to show off; he wanted to see these Cosmic Spirits for himself.
To all living beings in the cosmos, these Cosmic Spirits were no different from true gods.
After all, destroying an entire universe was far too easy for them.
Moreover, many beings were completely unaware of their existence.
At that moment, space tore open in the distance. A middle-aged man stepped out. When he saw Ye Xuan and Qin Guan, he paused, then turned to the Cosmic Spirit, clasped his fists, and smiled. “God Yu!”
The Cosmic Spirit returned the gesture. “God Mu, it has been a long time.”
God Mu laughed. “Indeed.”
He glanced at Ye Xuan and Qin Guan. “These two are…?”
God Yu replied, “My… friends.”
God Mu nodded slightly. “Good. Let us go inside the hall and talk.”
God Yu nodded.
As the group entered the hall, they found it vast and spacious, with twelve chairs arranged inside. Three people were already present: two men and one woman.
The three looked at God Yu and God Mu, then their gazes finally settled on Ye Xuan and Qin Guan. They were visibly startled.
Clearly, they had not expected this.
God Yu clasped his fists in greeting, then led Ye Xuan and Qin Guan to one side. With a wave of his sleeve, two new chairs appeared beside his own.
He could not possibly let his backer stand.
This fellow held grudges.
Ye Xuan and Qin Guan sat down. Ye Xuan glanced at the three people opposite and asked, “God Yu, who are they?”
God Yu answered, “The two men are God Mu and God Ming; their universes are relatively close to ours. The woman is God Yin; her universe is farther away.”
Ye Xuan nodded slightly.
More people began arriving one after another. God Yu clearly knew them all, so they exchanged greetings and clasped fists.
At that moment, a white-robed woman with long white hair and a cold expression entered the hall.
Upon seeing her, all the gods immediately rose and clasped their fists. “God Mi!”
God Mi.
The white-robed woman gave a faint nod, then walked to the head seat under everyone’s gaze. She swept her eyes across the room and said, “Be seated.”
All the gods sat.
God Mi’s gaze then landed on Ye Xuan and Qin Guan.
God Yu hurriedly explained, “These two are my friends.”
God Mi nodded and said nothing more. She withdrew her gaze and continued, “The True Realm has become increasingly outrageous. I believe the True God no longer intends to honour the alliance we established all those years ago.”
All the gods nodded, their expressions grim.
Ye Xuan was rather surprised. From God Mi’s words, it seemed the gods of the True Realm were not only targeting the beings of their universe, but also these Cosmic Spirits.
God Mi added, “My fellow gods, only by standing united can we resist the True God. Otherwise, she will devour us one by one.”
One of the Cosmic Spirits suddenly said, “Years ago, I suggested we join forces against her, but everyone believed the True God would abide by the alliance. Now, after so many years, she has undergone nearly ten thousand reincarnations. Moreover, she commands a loyal army of gods. Even if we unite now, we may not be able to oppose her.”
The gods fell silent.
Beside God Yu, Ye Xuan asked softly, “The True God is the Cosmic Spirit of the True Realm?”
God Yu nodded. “Yes.”
Ye Xuan nodded slightly. He had already pieced together the general situation.
Clearly, these Cosmic Spirits had once made an agreement to develop peacefully and not invade one another.
Now, however, the True God had grown far too powerful and no longer wished to honour that pact.
Ye Xuan suddenly asked, “Even if all of you joined forces, you still couldn’t handle the True God?”
God Yu remained silent.
Ye Xuan looked at him. “She’s that strong?”
God Yu sighed softly. “Your sister only needed one sword to thrash me. She only needed one move…”
Ye Xuan was stunned. “That strong?”
God Yu nodded.
Ye Xuan laughed. “So, who do you think is stronger, her or my sister?”
God Yu replied calmly, “Either way, they both thrash me effortlessly.”
Ye Xuan: “…”
In the distance, God Mi suddenly said, “Everyone, none of us expected the True God’s ambitions to be so great back then, so we all focused on peaceful development.”
She shook her head slightly. “Talking about this now serves little purpose. The urgent task is for us to unite and face her divine army together.”
One of the Cosmic Spirits suddenly said, “There’s no way to fight. Apart from God Mi’s universe, all our cosmic dimensions are lower than the True Realm. Their gods can send avatars into our universes, but we cannot enter theirs. On top of that, they can revive endlessly.”
He shook his head. “We can only take the beating.”
The gods fell silent once more.
Among all the universes present, only God Mi’s had a higher dimension, allowing travel to the True Realm’s dimension, but even that came with restrictions.
At that moment, Qin Guan suddenly asked, “God Mi, your universe can reach the True Realm?”
At her words, everyone turned to look at Qin Guan.
God Mi also looked at her. Qin Guan said nothing. She simply opened her palm, and Ye Xuan’s Qingxuan Sword appeared. With a flick of her finger, the sword flew to God Mi.
She knew that to speak as equals with these Cosmic Spirits, she needed strength they acknowledged.
When the gods saw the Qingxuan Sword, they all froze in place.
God Mi narrowed her eyes. She picked up the sword, examined it for a moment, then looked at Qin Guan. “How may I address you, young lady?”
Qin Guan smiled. “Qin Guan.”
God Mi asked, “Who forged this sword?”
Qin Guan glanced at Ye Xuan. “His younger sister.”
God Mi paused slightly, then looked at Ye Xuan. “Your sister?”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Yes.”
God Mi fell silent.
Qin Guan smiled. “Senior God Mi, your universe can travel to the True Realm?”
God Mi withdrew her gaze and nodded. “Yes.”
Qin Guan asked, “Can you take me to your universe?”
God Mi shook her head. “No. My universe’s dimension is also higher than God Yu’s, so you cannot enter it either.”
Qin Guan frowned.
At that moment, God Mi suddenly said, “This sword is extraordinary, but I can sense that it has not been fully unsealed. If it were unsealed further, it should be able to breach my universe’s dimensional barrier.”
Ye Xuan was stunned. “Not fully unsealed?”
God Mi nodded. “Correct. At most, only about one-tenth has been unsealed.”
At those words, both Ye Xuan and Qin Guan were dumbfounded.
Even God Yu’s expression froze solid.
Only one-tenth unsealed?
…
