Chapter 1467: Chapter 656: The Cure! Transformation of the World

Jue Xing Emperor Palace Leader? The many Divine Kings were slightly surprised upon hearing this, but soon their expressions returned to normal.

A flash of surprise crossed Li Yuan’s eyes. Before this gathering of kings, he had many exchanges with Senior Brother Dong Mang, but the other party had not mentioned this matter at all.

Black Stone God King and Hun Hai God King exchanged a glance.

“Dong Mang, this is an internal matter of your Jue Xing Emperor Palace, so we won’t say much.” Black Stone God King smiled and said, “But in terms of strength, Heart Origin God King is sufficient… as long as there are no disagreements within your Jue Xing Emperor Palace, we will not oppose it.”

Although the Three Great Emperor Palaces are a unified entity, they each belonged to a different Divine Emperor, and naturally, there are some differences in specific affairs.

Dong Mang God King gazed across at Black Heaven God King, Wind Erasure God King, Heart Realm God King, and the others.

“I agree,” Heart Realm God King laughed and said, “Dong Mang, you have been the Leader of the Emperor Palace for over seven million years, it’s indeed time for you to take a rest. We trust that handing it over to Heart Origin will be in good hands.”

“I agree.”

“It’s alright,” members of Jue Xing Emperor Palace like Black Ruins God King and Wind Erasure God King nodded one after another.

They were long psychologically prepared for Li Yuan to take over.

After all, there were signs of this even back when Li Yuan was still a Heavenly Divine… As a Direct Disciple of the Divine Emperor, it’s only natural for him to take over as the Leader after ascending to God King; this is just happening a bit earlier than expected.

Seeing this, Li Yuan, though still puzzled in his heart, did not speak up after seeing Dong Mang God King’s expression.

“Alright.”

“I had already reported to the Divine Emperor,” Dong Mang God King smiled and said, “since that is the case, once Beichen Star closes, I will hold a celebration at Jue Xing Emperor Palace and invite major forces to witness it.”

Almost simultaneously, Dong Mang God King’s voice sounded in Li Yuan’s mind: “Junior Brother, I’ll explain it to you in detail later.”

…

After further discussions on the detailed preparations for the ’God King War,’ the many Divine Kings dispersed.

Only a few people were left in this palace, and Li Yuan and Dong Mang God King went to a side.

“Senior Brother,” Li Yuan said, “there is no need to rush to take over as the Leader of the Emperor Palace.”

In Li Yuan’s view, it seemed a bit too fast.

“It’s not fast at all.”

“If I asked you to take over as the Palace Leader before this war, others might have had thoughts,” Dong Mang God King smiled and said, “but after the battle in the Star Sea, you becoming the Palace Leader is without a doubt; people like Heart Realm God King and Black Heaven God King won’t have any objections.”

“In terms of strength.”

“Within Jue Xing Emperor Palace, apart from myself, only Gu Ying God King’s strength is at God King Peak, and your strength is just slightly below hers.” Dong Mang God King said.

“Gu Ying God King?” Li Yuan nodded slightly, recalling that unassuming figure in the Kings’ meeting.

Now, with quite high authority, Li Yuan was aware of the internal situation of the Chaos Divine Court, knowing that there were five known God King Peak powerhouses in total.

Jue Xing Emperor Palace consists of Dong Mang God King and Gu Ying God King.

Heart Dream Emperor Palace is Hun Hai God King and Fire Illusion God King.

Chaos Emperor Palace is Black Stone God King.

These five God Kings have all opened the ’High Rank Eternal Dao’ and taken the Third Step, with considerable strength.

Besides this, there are four who are ’Three-step God Kings.’

The majority of the rest are Two-step God Kings… there are relatively fewer One-step God Kings, after all, with the talent of God Kings, breaking the path is very easy, and even with the Ordinary Eternal Dao, moving from the first step to the second step is not difficult.

Only from the second step to the third step does it become much harder, leaving many God Kings stuck at this bottleneck.

“Gu Ying God King is always accustomed to acting alone, and her cultivation years have exceeded five million; although your strength still slightly falls short, you have opened the Top Eternal Dao, and even while only at the Heavenly Divine Realm… tut-tut, your strength will quickly surpass hers, and she won’t mind.” Dong Mang God King smiled and said.

Others may not know.

But Dong Mang God King knew that Li Yuan was still merely at the Heavenly Divine Realm… and his true strength is comparable to a Three-step Path Opening God King.

If his status as being just at the Heavenly Divine Realm and yet having such strength were to spread, it would shock not only the Divine Realm but likely the many cosmic realms of the entire Dark Domain, causing a great uproar.

“But I still feel it’s a bit rushed,” Li Yuan couldn’t help but say.

“Haha, Junior Brother, if you’re not in a hurry, I am,” Dong Mang God King laughed: “Do you know how long I’ve been the Leader of the Emperor Palace? Over seven million years.”

Li Yuan’s heart stirred.

“Before becoming the Leader of the Emperor Palace, I had already been cultivating for several hundred thousand years, which means my true lifespan is close to nine million years.” Dong Mang God King said, “Although a God King has a lifespan of ten million years, under normal circumstances, most God Kings, after reaching 9 million years, will prepare to seal themselves in the Inner Universe Space-Time of the Divine Emperor.”

“Hmm,” Li Yuan nodded slightly.

For a God King to seal themselves in the Divine Emperor’s Inner Universe is not merely about the Divine Body but refers to the ’Inner Heaven and Earth.’

God Kings have many avatars, but the Inner Heaven and Earth is unique; it seems to reside within the Divine Rank, but in reality, it is anchored within a special space-time region of the Time River.

Once sealed, the time flow of the Inner Heaven and Earth will drastically slow down… if an avatar falls, often the Inner Heaven and Earth Origin is required to nurture it, which consumes the elapsed time of the Inner Heaven and Earth.

If the remaining lifespan is sufficient, an avatar can be revived repeatedly.

If one approaches the brink of lifespan limit, such as a God King reaching 9.99 million years… without any excess lifespan to cultivate an avatar, then if all avatars outside the Eternal Relics fall, they lose the opportunity to venture into the Eternal Relics.

So.

Under normal circumstances, if God Kings see no hope of breaking through, upon reaching 9 million years, they will consider sealing themselves, sending only avatars to the Eternal Relics to explore and take risks.

And within the cosmic realms… it is basically equivalent to the fall of this God King.

“Initially, I was worried that I would not have sufficient strength to take over before heading to the Jue Xing space-time.” Dong Mang God King laughed, “Your growth speed is astonishing… handing over the position of Palace Leader to you, I can use the remaining time in peace to accomplish some things.”
