Chapter 443 - 343: Extinguishing Divine Array_1
The returning Confucius Ancestor, though weak in breath, had a smile of joy on his face.
The Chaos Yuan Great Venerable let out a sigh of relief, sizing up the Confucius Ancestor, when he suddenly furrowed his brow, "Predecessor seems... different now!"
The Confucius Ancestor let out a silent sigh, "I have traveled the Long River of Time for countless eons, witnessed too many rises and falls, and have had some realizations, that's all!"
The eyes of the Chaos Yuan Great Venerable lit up, does that imply, the Confucius Ancestor has had a breakthrough in realm?
But the current Divine Realm simply couldn't support a realm surpassing that of a Divine Emperor, and the Chaos Yuan Great Venerable understood that even if the Confucius Ancestor had made a breakthrough, he wouldn't be able to exert power beyond that of a Divine Emperor.
Unless, the Order of Heaven and Earth of the Divine Realm becomes stronger.
The Confucius Ancestor didn't elaborate further, his gaze shifting towards the direction of the Great Wall. His eyes, piercing through the Divine Palace, saw the situation on the other side of the wall and couldn't help revealing a smile, "Li Cheng has succeeded!"
"What's the situation inside?" asked the Chaos Yuan Great Venerable.
The Confucius Ancestor answered with a smile, "Back in the day, the Sect Leader of the Chaotic Yuan Gate took part of the Divine Realm to nurture the Spirit of the World.
Now that the Spirit of the World has matured, as long as we allow it to return to the Divine Realm, the Order of Heaven and Earth will surely see an immense enhancement, and by then, the advantage of the God Race will be confined within a certain extent."
The Chaos Yuan Great Venerable understood and his expression turned grave, "No wonder the God Race set the millennium agreement. It was all for the Spirit of the World."
"Now that the Spirit of the World has fallen into my junior brother's hands, the God Race will surely stop at nothing to seize it. Next, we must think of every possible way to ensure the Spirit of the World's return to the Divine Realm!"
The Confucius Ancestor nodded in agreement, his expression also turning solemn. From now on, they must protect Li Cheng at all costs!
He sat down cross-legged, fingers forming seals, and an invisible surge suddenly erupted, heading straight for the direction of the Divine Realm.
Noticing the actions of the Confucius Ancestor, the Chaos Yuan Great Venerable hesitated, ultimately choosing not to speak further.
He knew the Confucius Ancestor was summoning the Ancestral Temple of Confucianism, preparing for the imminent fierce battle.
But he also knew, within the Ancestral Temple of Confucianism lay a tremendous terror; calling it forth could very well release that terror from its suppression.
However, the Spirit of the World was too important, and even with such risks, they had to bear them.
With that in mind, the Chaos Yuan Great Venerable exited the Divine Palace and reached the front of the Great Wall.
"Supreme One!"
The gathered Divine Emperors promptly gave their salutations.
The Chaos Yuan Great Venerable nodded slightly, his gaze fixed on that membrane of light piercing the heaven and earth above the Great Wall. On the opposite side, over a hundred Divine Emperors were attacking with all their might.
Looking back at his side, more than seventy Divine Emperors stood ready, their expressions incredibly solemn.
All of the Divine Emperors of the Divine Realm added together barely matched the number of the God Race, with some still left to defend the Divine Realm. Once the Great Wall would be breached, it was uncertain how long everyone could hold out.
After a moment of contemplation, the Chaos Yuan Great Venerable declared, "Everyone, after our predecessors drove away the God Race, they established this Great Wall and hid the World Spirit of the Divine Realm in that Secret Land. Now, the World Spirit has matured, and our chance in the Divine Realm has arrived!"
At these words, everyone looked towards the Chaos Yuan Great Venerable in shock.
The Chaos Yuan Great Venerable continued, "As you all have seen, many Divine Venerables of the God Race have already escaped the Secret Land, and then the God Race began attacking the Great Wall, breaking the agreement. This indicates the Secret Land has fallen into our hands in the Divine Realm!"
"As long as we can return the Secret Land to the Divine Realm and let the World Spirit merge back into it, we would have won!"
The importance of a mature World Spirit is clear to everyone.
"This is our only chance, if the World Spirit is intercepted by the God Race, there is no doubt that the Divine Realm will once again be controlled by the God Race, and all the Wan Race of the Divine Realm will become slaves of the God Race."
"Who would want the events from eons ago to happen again?"
Having said this, the Chaos Yuan Great Venerable swept his gaze over the crowd.
With heavy expressions, the crowd understood that within the thousands of miles of the Divine Realm, although there may be conflicts and sworn enemies, at least there was equality.
If the God Race were to descend once more and the World Spirit to fall into their hands, there would be no question that the Wan Race of the Divine Realm would no longer stand a chance and would be eradicated or enslaved by the God Race.
"Amitabha! Our Buddhism sect is willing to lead the charge!"
Buddhism was the first to make a stance, with eighteen Divine Emperor-level Buddha Cultivators stepping forward, their somber and solemn aura spreading out.
The Chaos Yuan Great Venerable shook his head, "No one can fend only for themselves; we all must have the determination to win at all costs, even if it means trading our lives for a mere chance."
To reach their level of cultivation, they were the strongest in the world; who wouldn't cherish their life?
But the Chaos Yuan Great Venerable was right; if this battle was lost, the entire Divine Realm would once again fall under the rule of the God Race, where everything would be subservient to them.
Would there be any meaning left to their existence then?
In an instant, everyone was brimming with fighting spirit!
In the Secret Land at that very moment, Li Cheng was fully activating the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture. With the Divine Venerables' escape, Li Cheng knew he needed to secure the Secret Land as quickly as possible, for once the God Race had made their preparations, leaving would become difficult.
But this Secret Land was a part of the Divine World, and even with the methods left by a predecessor, it wouldn't be easy to secure it quickly.
Li Cheng had no choice but to give his all and hoped that the Chaos Yuan Great Venerable and the others had noticed the anomalies and were prepared.
Of course, before securing the Secret Land, Li Cheng had made thorough preparations, such as the Divine Array set up by these nine Divine Origins. He simply prepared two sets.
One set for defense, and another, at a critical moment, could potentially be ignited. If successful, the nine Divine Origins would explode along with it, and their power would undoubtedly be no weaker than a Divine Emperor's self-destruction.
As time passed, finally, the spatial bubble shrank to the size of a million miles, now easily collected into the Divine World.
