Chapter 586 - 317: Guarding the Divine Domain

A desolate Star Realm!

The God of Light brought Prometheus and Asius to the Star Realm where Zhao Rui had once lived.

When they arrived at the Star Realm, the God of Light discovered that only the Five Immortals were there. There was no trace of Zhao Rui.

"Where did the Divine King go?"

The God of Light and the others were frantic!

"His Excellency has gone out on business and has not yet returned!" the Five Immortals replied respectfully.

"What are we going to do?"

The God of Light paced back and forth anxiously. But before he could come up with a plan, a holographic display materialized before them.

It was Prometheus’s communication device, receiving an incoming connection.

"Lord God, the enemy is too fierce! They’ve already broken through the interstellar defensive line, and our Cosmic Battleships have suffered heavy losses."

"Stop them at all costs! Even if you have to destroy stars, you will hold that line for me."

"But... My Lord..."

"Don’t you understand? At all costs."

Prometheus roared.

On the other end was a figure who, at a glance, was dressed as a general. Hearing the order, he breathed heavily and grimly accepted.

Destroying a star wasn’t as simple as lighting a fuse.

The power of a stellar explosion could engulf an entire galaxy. The resulting Energy fluctuations would create a gamma-ray burst, instantly destroying all electromagnetic equipment.

The light and heat it emitted would instantly melt any physical object in its vicinity.

Detonating several adjacent stars could form a scorching quarantine line, not only killing the enemy but also blocking their advance.

Of course, the price of detonating stars was devastating. Any region engulfed by the explosion would be utterly annihilated, with no life left to speak of.

For billions of years to come, it would remain a wasteland.

"The Divine Domain must not fall!"

The God of Light paced back and forth, his expression gradually growing resolute.

"You all stay here. Contact the Divine King constantly. The moment you have news, tell him to return at once. The Divine Domain is in peril! Prometheus, Asius, the three of us will return to the front lines immediately. We must not allow the enemy to enter the heart of the Divine Domain," the God of Light ordered, his expression grave.

"You..."

Prometheus stared at the completely unfamiliar God of Light before him, stammering, at a loss for words.

’Based on his usual character, he should be choosing to flee as far away as possible right now.’

"To think that my lineage, the Lineage of Light, once held the title of Divine King. It was only because of my unworthy descendants that we lost the throne. But this Divine Domain... it will not suffer the humiliation of outsiders!"

As the God of Light finished speaking, his body suddenly swelled to a colossal size, radiating an infinite brilliance.

Several pieces of what looked like Armor flew in from the distant cosmos, clattering into place all over his body.

"If the two of you are unwilling, I will not force you! I only hope that when the Divine King returns, you can tell him for me that I did not bring him shame."

With that, the God of Light’s form flared brightly and vanished from sight in an instant.

"This...!"

Prometheus and Asius exchanged a look. After a long moment of contemplation, Prometheus finally spoke. "You should flee. Preserve a spark of hope for the Divine Domain."

After speaking, Prometheus’s body also gradually faded from view.

"Fine, if you want to go, then go. I’m not going."

Asius glanced at the Five Immortals, a flash of killing intent in his eyes. He hesitated for a moment, then suddenly stepped forward and departed at extreme speed.

How could the Five Immortals not have sensed that intense killing intent? Seeing him leave, they couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Contact the Divine King at once! There has been a major development in the Divine Domain. Also, summon the Divine King’s disciples to guard the Star Realm," the Great Immortal hurriedly commanded.

The Five Immortals each went to their posts. They quickly sent out a summons to the entire Star Realm via message transmission.
