After more than a month of discussion, the Divine Emperors finally decided... to talk with Yuan Miao, or rather with Gu Jinlai, who might be the reincarnated body of the Primordial behind him. However, before they could find Gu Jinlai, several Divine Spirits quickly approached the Divine Emperors they were attached to, bringing a series of bad news. In just one month, there had been two star domains where more than fifty Divine Spirits had fallen. This result left those Divine Spirits in disbelief. "Gu Jinlai behind Yuan Miao... how is he so fast!?" "Isn’t he the reincarnated body of the Primordial? It’s said that he has awakened his memory for less than a thousand years, yet he has recovered to this extent in such a short time?" "Logically speaking, he is using Yuan Miao to gain insight into the operations of the Ten Thousand Gods Realm, which has an additional layer of separation. Under such circumstances, how could he have peeped into the secrets of the Ten Thousand Gods Realm’s operation in just a month, thereby discerning the positions of all the Divine Spirits?" The Divine Emperors exchanged glances. Immediately afterward, they simultaneously used the Ten Thousand Gods Realm’s authority to seal the space where Gu Jinlai was, preventing other Divine Spirits from entering. They then selected a dozen representatives from the Supreme Council to step into this space. After exchanging a glance, one Divine Emperor stepped forward, speaking deeply, "Should I call you Yuan Miao, Gu Jinlai, or Primordial?" He was Emperor Jin Yao. A powerful Divine Emperor who has existed for over a billion years, rumored to have survived two purges by the Daoist Ancestor. Orıginal content can be found at 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⁂𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⁂𝔫𝔢𝔱 His own Divine Will has been honed to the utmost, capable of overpowering an Immortal Venerable even without relying on the power of the Divine System, engaging with top-tier Immortal Venerables. If that Immortal Venerable refused to retreat and did not seek external aid, he had the ability, relying solely on his powerful Will Power, to whittle them down to nothing—a feat in the history of Divine Spirits of single-handedly extinguishing an Immortal Venerable. Despite the inquiry from this ancient Divine Emperor, Gu Jinlai remained silent, still studying the operations of the Ten Thousand Gods Realm. Seeing this, Emperor Jin Yao’s eyes flashed with a trace of anger, and he could not help but say, "What exactly do you want? Do you really intend to wage war against our Divine Race ahead of time? I recall you are currently in the Fire Cloud Palace!? If you truly seek war, all the Divine Spirits of the Ten Thousand Gods Realm will form a Super Divine System and head straight for the Fire Cloud Palace. By then, even if our Divine Race is annihilated, the legacy of your Fire Cloud Palace will also vanish into smoke!" "Form a Super Divine System?" Gu Jinlai glanced at Emperor Jin Yao: "I don’t believe it." "Ha, you are prepared to grasp the Ten Thousand Gods Realm, to use its power to perceive all Divine Spirits. Once you achieve that step, all Divine Spirits will be trapped at your mercy. Under such fear, uniting for survival will be the only way for them." Emperor Jin Yao stared at Gu Jinlai: "Alone, we Divine Spirits may not seem strong, and even the strongest Divine Emperor cannot kill even the weakest Immortal Venerable. But when ten thousand, several tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of Divine Spirits unite as one with a unified will, I believe that not even the Great Powers of your Fire Cloud Palace can contend, and as for ordinary Immortal Venerables, they could be easily crushed. By that time, even if you manage to save your own life, it will result in the downfall of hundreds or even thousands of Immortal Venerables and Immortals from the Fire Cloud Palace, making you the greatest sinner of the Fire Cloud Palace." "Even resorting to moral blackmail." Gu Jinlai chuckled softly. "Are you willing to gamble?" Emperor Jin Yao’s eyes were filled with coldness: "You should be aware, before the Ashen Star Domain incident, although the Divine Spirits gathered in the Ten Thousand Gods Realm, few were willing to become subordinate gods to us Divine Emperors. But after the Ashen Star Domain incident, the Divine Spirits have gradually awakened, realizing that in the coming era of great change, fighting alone would only lead to being picked off one by one. Therefore, large Divine Systems and even Super Divine Systems are forming at an extremely rapid pace." He waved his hand forcefully: "The Immortal itself fears death and thus transforms into a Divine Spirit. Survival is their sole pursuit. When faced with the threat of death, all Divine Spirits will surely unite. The birth of an unprecedented Super Divine System, powerful enough to rival a Great Power, is not an anomaly." Gu Jinlai listened and seemed to fall into contemplation. Seeing this, Emperor Jin Yao let out a slight sigh of relief but continued to persuade: "I understand your concern that the Evil Gods will break out from the Heart of the Cosmic, bringing destruction to the entire cosmos. However, this is a cosmic war that should not be borne by your Human Clan alone! Currently, other species are resting easy at the Heart of the Cosmic, pushing your Human Clan’s Fire Cloud Palace to absorb the hatred of both our Divine Race and the Evil Gods..." He showed a mocking expression: "When the war truly breaks out, the Evil Gods, and our Divine Race, will surely target your Human Clan’s Fire Cloud Palace, the chief culprit for the plan’s failure, for revenge. I highly doubt that you will not be used as a tool by other species." Gu Jinlai did not speak, still appearing contemplative. "Think it over carefully. This issue has never been solely for your Human Clan, and your Human Clan alone cannot withstand the combined forces of our Divine Race and the Evil Gods." Emperor Jin Yao continued to persuade: "Perhaps, I can offer you a promise. Our Divine Race will cease all activities in the New Fire Star Sea, shifting our attention to other Star Domains. Thus, when the war eventually erupts, the Human Clan will suffer the least losses among all species." Gu Jinlai continued to ponder in silence. Emperor Jin Yao was indeed patient and also highly eloquent. A posture that moves with emotion and reasons with logic. Even standing from the perspective of the Human Clan, helping him analyze, truly making the Human Clan and even Fire Cloud Palace face the consequences of the entire Divine Race’s backlash before death. The words and actions can be described as perfectly coordinated and vividly portrayed. This persuasion continued for half a month. "Your Majesty, I just received news that another stronghold under Divine Emperor Yuanzhen’s seat has been eliminated, and the one who acted is the Primordial Reincarnated Body, Gu Jinlai!" A Divine Spirit approached Emperor Jin Yao, who was earnestly persuading Gu Jinlai to consider carefully. Hearing what the Divine Spirit said, Emperor Jin Yao was slightly taken aback, then his sharp gaze fell on Gu Jinlai: "Gu Jinlai! What do you mean!? While stalling us here, you are hunting my Divine Race’s Divine Spirits!? Such shamelessness from a Great Power?" "Stall? What am I stalling you for? And what have I agreed to with you?" Gu Jinlai looked at Emperor Jin Yao with some surprise. "You...aren’t you considering our proposal?" Gu Jinlai spoke, seeming to have thought of something: "Oh, I think you are right, if you really force your Divine Race to unite completely, tens of thousands of Divine Spirits forming a Super Divine System, even a Great Power might avoid it, so I’ve been considering how to break your Divine Race back into a scattered state, to facilitate individual defeat." Saying this, he grinned: "And now, I’ve figured it out, that is... not giving you the chance to gather all Divine Spirits." As soon as he finished speaking, he pointed with a virtual hand, and a special wave spread out immediately. Several Divine Emperors sensed something for the first time, and soon, one by one, their faces changed dramatically: "I can’t use the power of the Ten Thousand Gods Realm to convey my will to all Divine Spirits, I have been muted." "Wait...The Ten Thousand Gods Realm is rejecting me!? Not good, the Ten Thousand Gods Realm is stripping away my authority! Does he want to kick me out?" "My authority has also been challenged, but I am one of the founders of the Ten Thousand Gods Realm... What? My will cannot leave this space, I...have been put into solitary confinement!?" "How long has it been, his control over the Ten Thousand Gods Realm has reached this level!? Is he too strong, or is our Ten Thousand Gods Realm too weak!?" All the Divine Emperors were a bit panicked, and there was a hint of fear in their expressions. The Divine Spirit System is ultimately a new system, moreover, the most excellent batch later followed the path of Evil Gods and survived through the method of nurturing. The Divine Spirit System, to some extent, was composed by the failures in the Cultivator System. Among them, before transforming into Divine Spirits, the number of Immortal Venerables was scant and more than ninety percent were Immortal Golden Immortals with no hope of promotion, facing impending purges. The remaining nearly ten percent... were Golden Immortals unable to break through to Immortality, choosing to take the path of Divine Spirits as a desperate gamble. How could such a group of failures, constructing a cultivation system, comprehend the power of Great Powers and the Immortal Immortal Realm? In their minds, the Ten Thousand Gods Realm, comparable to the Immortal Immortal Realm, was merely a Divine Thought space with relatively strong power. It neither used Cosmic Oddities as a hub nor deployed through a Supreme Immortal Device. Furthermore, their so-called ability to guard against Great Power invasions was merely what they assumed. Facing Gu Jinlai, a "true" Great Power, with the assistance of Yuan Miao as an insider, within just two months, many permissions of the Ten Thousand Gods Realm had been compromised significantly. At this rate, it would only take half a year for the master of the Ten Thousand Gods Realm to be completely replaced. These Divine Emperors also understood the severity of the situation, all of them were in a panic. Among them, some Divine Emperors had expressions with a hint of madness: "He truly refuses to give us a way out! In this case, even if I die, I will make the Human Clan pay the price! Initiate the Super Divine System Plan!" While these Divine Emperors planned to fight to the end, an intention reverberated in the sky of the Ten Thousand Gods Realm: "Everyone, I am Emperor Jin Yao, Divine Emperors like Yongyang, Zong Li, and Yellow Sky have already gone insane, planning to use the power of the Ten Thousand Gods Realm to track, perceive your locations, and forcibly make you Subordinate Gods. All who refuse will be mercilessly devoured by their Divine System." This intention echoed in every corner of the Ten Thousand Gods Realm: "Please pass this message to all friends, I am now using my authority to disconnect all of you from the Ten Thousand Gods Realm. In the coming period, please hide yourselves well, do not venture outside easily, and do not believe any messages claiming to unite into a Divine System to face the crisis! Preserve yourselves first!" At the end, he added a sentence: "May the light of our Divine Race, forever shine immortal!" Before those Divine Spirits could react from this shocking news and inquire, all Divine Spirits were driven out of the Ten Thousand Gods Realm, cutting off telepathy with the Ten Thousand Gods Realm.
