Chapter 748 - 742: The Source of Everything

"My lord, there is a report that the Forest Holy Sanctuary has started to move."

Divine Kingdom Center.

Inside a palace floating at the highest point.

A hurried figure appeared before a man with graying hair but a young-looking face.

"Is that so? They've already started moving?"

The man turned around, not looking at the newcomer, nor showing any surprise. His deep gaze passed through the palace door, looking toward the vast sky outside.

This man was none other than the leader of the Seven Great Celestial Kings and the strongest in the Divine Kingdom, Ji Geng!

"Let's go, it's time to reclaim what should rightly belong to me."

Ji Geng smiled faintly and vanished from his place, as if nothing could cause him any emotional fluctuation.

Soon after, the Divine Kingdom was also in an uproar, with the lord's forces from various factions quickly assembling.

Even those Divine Children appeared with their respective teams, gathering at high altitudes.

Their numbers were so vast that it was even more terrifying than those of the Forest Holy Sanctuary!

"This time, I must wash away the humiliation in the Divine Hall of Origin!"

In the Pantheon convoy, Situ Sheng's face was cold, staring intently in the direction of the Forest Holy Sanctuary.

By now, he was not only among the Celestial Gods but had also risen to the level of Level 3 Celestial God.

Other Divine Children were the same.

After failing to acquire the Main God's Position, they didn't need to suppress their levels any longer, and all advanced to Celestial Gods.

With substantial foundations, they quickly ascended several levels, mostly reaching Level 2 Celestial God, showcasing formidable power.

Their sole purpose this time was to kill Lin You and reclaim the Main God's Position that should belong to them!

"Everyone is here, let's set off."

Then, an emotionless voice resonated in the sky.

The fully assembled Divine Kingdom forces, finally led by various Celestial Gods, grandly advanced toward the direction of the Forest Holy Sanctuary. Their speed was extreme.

"That voice just now must be Great Celestial King Ji Geng, right?"

A few Divine Children gathered together, chatting softly as they hurried along.

"Of course, only he is capable of commanding the gods of the Divine Kingdom."

"I heard he has been a Celestial God for tens of thousands of years; it's hard to tell how strong he is now."

"Not sure, but on the day the Main God fell, someone saw him strike, facing Duan Changfeng, wounded him severely, forcing him to flee the Divine Kingdom."

"So powerful!?"

The other Divine Children were amazed, glancing at the huge convoy at the forefront.

It's worth noting.

Duan Changfeng, although separated from the Divine Kingdom, was once one of the Eight Great Heavenly Kings under the Main God, reaching the peak as a Level 10 Celestial God.

Even such a figure suffered a severe blow. How formidable is Ji Geng?

Is this the strength of someone reputed to be closest to the Main God?

No wonder the Main God has fallen for so long, and yet the other Three Great Divine Kingdoms and Four Great Demon Realms haven't immediately acted against them. There must be a significant reason related to Ji Geng's presence.

This suggests.

This battle between the two sides is likely far from simple; those Divine Kingdoms and Demon Realms will surely be watching their every move in the shadows.

This is a battle concerning the entire Divine Realm's situation!

...

On the other side.

Amidst the Divine Kingdom's turbulence, the lord's army of the Forest Holy Sanctuary had also fully assembled.

"Set out!"

With a command from Duan Changfeng, the boundless army began to move.

Amid fierce roars and calls, all the lords rode their mounts and took off consecutively, causing the whole sky to shake violently.

At the forefront, naturally, were Duan Changfeng and the other six Level 10 Celestial Gods, rulers of the surrounding Celestial God realms.

"Changfeng, do you really have the confidence to defeat Ji Geng this time?"

Beside Duan Changfeng, Qiu Hanyue asked with some concern.

She had heard a bit about the turmoil in the Divine Kingdom after the Main God's fall, naturally aware of Ji Geng's dread.

"Don't worry, the reason I wasn't his opponent back then was that I hadn't yet comprehended Time Reversal. Now, after so many years, I am no longer the Duan Changfeng of old." Duan Changfeng spoke with unwavering determination.

For this day, he hid his identity and retreated to the Lower Realm, striving to comprehend the Law Power.

Now, it's finally his time to exact revenge and reclaim the Divine Kingdom!

With this thought, his speed unconsciously increased by several degrees, heading toward the Divine Kingdom.

Behind him, a vast, dense army of lords followed, like dark clouds pressing the border.

Wherever they went, those Low-tier Demons scurried away, trembling in fear.

"Do you think we can defeat the Divine Kingdom this time?"

In the Ten Thousand Realms convoy, one of the Great Emperors couldn't help but ask.

"Whether we win or not, we must make sure to kill several members of the Pantheon this time."

"That's right, the culprits who attempted to destroy our Ten Thousand Realms cannot be spared!"

"We must also avenge our companions who died tragically at their hands!"

When they first entered the Divine Realm, their strength was still weak, unable to fight back under the Pantheon's pursuit, forced to watch as one companion after another died tragically before them.

Now that they've all become True Gods, they must seek revenge, twice as bitterly, from the Pantheon.

Lin You at the forefront didn't speak, but his gaze was exceedingly fierce.

He's worked so hard to elevate his Power, isn't it all for the sake of this day?

The truth is, everyone in both teams has gathered with various motives.

This is a battle that is destined to happen!

And just as the armies of both sides mobilized, the Three Great Divine Kingdoms and the Four Great Demon Realms finally made moves, sending people to investigate.

Some are even secretly gathering forces, making the situation even more tense.

"The Divine Domain is about to change."

The Lords who had been watching both sides couldn't help but let out a sigh.

After the Main God fell, the long silent Divine Realm is finally going to tumble into chaos, for better or for worse.

...

"Report! Traces of the Divine Kingdom's army have been found!"

The reactions of the factions have not caused any impact on the Forest Holy Sanctuary's team.

After days of marching, they finally arrived near the Divine Kingdom using various Teleportation Arrays, camping in several deserted border cities.

The inhabitants of these cities had already received the news and fled, leaving behind empty cities.

These cities just became their marching stations, where they could rest and prepare to penetrate the Divine Kingdom.

Meanwhile.

Thousands of kilometers from the border.

The Divine Kingdom's army didn't pause, rapidly approaching their location.

"They don't even rest, those guys are still as arrogant as ever,"

Duan Changfeng squinted his eyes upon hearing the report from his subordinates, a flash of cold light passed by.

"In that case, let's make a move. It's time for a reckoning," said a Level 10 Celestial God in a deep voice.

"Indeed, it's time for a reckoning," another Level 10 Celestial God echoed.

Duan Changfeng looked at the remaining people, seeing them nod in agreement, he slowly stood up: "Alright, send out the orders, prepare to attack!"

As the words fell, all the Celestial Gods disappeared in space and returned to command their troops.

Before long, the armies of Lords dispersed throughout the southern part of the Divine Kingdom regrouped and began to advance towards the inner parts of the Divine Kingdom.

Finally, by noon, they encountered the vast forces of the Divine Kingdom on a plain cut through by a river.

The two armies stared at each other across the river on the north and south sides, extending hundreds of miles, the tension was at its peak.

"Long time no see, King Duan,"

Suddenly, a calm voice broke the silence between the armies.

In front of the Divine Kingdom's troops, a young figure with white hair appeared, standing in the air.

"It's you, Ji Geng!"

Upon seeing him, Duan Changfeng's face sank, his aura suddenly became wildly unstable.

Nearby, Lin You and others were inwardly shocked.

Ji Geng.

The man said to be closest to the Main God, and the current real ruler of the Divine Kingdom. It was unexpected to encounter him so soon.

"I've received messages before that the Pantheon is controlled by this guy behind the scenes," whispered the Dragon Emperor.

"So it's him?"

The faces of Lin You and several Great Emperors instantly turned cold.

Which means.

Their true enemy, the one who devastated the Ten Thousand Realms and sent people to hunt them down, is this man who doesn't show his age?

After so long in hiding, they finally understood the source of everything.

Instantly, their eyes filled with murderous intent, wanting nothing more than to rush forward and avenge their fallen companions.

"As expected, as the leader of the Celestial Kings, he refuses to be subjugated to the Celestial Gods and wants to sit on that throne himself," Situ Jian said coldly.

He now even has reason to suspect.

The one who conspired with the Demon Lord to kill the Main God is this guy in front of him.

If it turns out to be true, then everything makes sense.

First, he collaborated with the Demon Race to kill the Main God, then eliminate loyalists like Duan Changfeng, while tackling him, the descendant of the Main God, making it easier for him to inherit the rule.

So all this was laid out by that guy!

"Why, haven't seen you for so many years, and you've become so distant?"

As they were whispering, Ji Geng's voice emerged, clearly reaching everyone's ears.

Faintly.

You could feel a gentle breeze swept over the battlefield.

Elemental Type?

Lin You looked at him, surprised.

In this breeze, he could perceive a faint Elemental Power, as if it blended into heaven and earth, reaching a very pure level.

Even stronger than the feeling Duan Changfeng gave him.

Just the casual aura he emitted has reached this level, what is the real strength of that guy?

Is this the person Duan Changfeng mentioned, whom he asked him to help kill?

Gradually, Lin You's expression turned solemn, he initially thought his Power was enough to counter any Celestial King, but now it seems not as simple as he imagined.

It seems in the upcoming battle, he'll need to eliminate a few more Celestial Gods, at least elevate his Power to above Level 5 Celestial God.

No matter what.

This culprits of devastation to the Ten Thousand Realms, he absolutely will not let go!
