Chapter 709 - 708: Within Great Xia, Gods Are Forbidden to Pass

"Great Xia’s old director... is dead?"

Odin heard the news.

He shot up from the throne he had barely warmed.

His face was a mask of disbelief.

Just a few minutes ago,

Lu Lingchen, with the absolute power of the True God Realm,

had utterly suppressed hundreds of Ancient Gods from the Divine Domains, making them cower like grandchildren.

And those grandsons...

Ah—ptooey!

No, those of us Ancient Gods had just returned to our Divine Domains. We hadn’t even had a chance to catch our breath.

And Lu Lingchen was already dead?

’How is that possible?’

’Absolutely impossible!’

’This has to be a conspiracy by Great Xia!’

"Father, the Trickster Bug I left behind saw it with its own eyes. There’s no way it’s fake,"

Loki said with conviction.

"I had it hide and observe the entire time. It never left."

Odin stared intently at Loki.

He watched him for a long time.

He saw not a single trace of a lie in Loki’s eyes.

Only then did he slowly sit back down on his throne.

His expression remained incredibly grim.

"What exactly happened?"

"How did Lu Lingchen die?"

Loki quickly answered.

"After we left, that Great Xia mosquito appeared out of thin air."

"It seemed to be planning a sneak attack on Zeus."

"But because Lu Lingchen showed up, it didn’t get a chance to act."

"Then, Lu Lingchen spoke with the Great Xia mosquito for a while."

"The Trickster Bug was too far away to hear what they said..."

"Get to the point!"

Odin cut Loki off, his voice cold.

"I only want to hear news related to Lu Lingchen."

He didn’t care about anything else.

Loki could hear the impatience in Odin’s tone.

And a faint, suppressed fear.

It was obvious Odin was truly terrified of Lu Lingchen.

Just the mention of Lu Lingchen’s name made him tremble.

So, Loki skipped straight to the result.

"After Lu Lingchen finished talking with the Great Xia mosquito,"

"he suddenly walked toward the sky."

"Then, his entire body began to radiate a golden light."

"Finally, his whole being transformed into a streak of golden light and vanished into the sky."

"Golden light?"

Odin was utterly bewildered.

Whether it was leaving via spatial teleportation,

or leaving Blue Star for the Spirit Realm,

or even an accidental death,

none of it would look like that.

’Vanishing into a golden light?’

’What kind of death is that?’

’What on earth did Lu Lingchen do?’

Odin frowned,

pacing back and forth in the great hall.

He racked his brains but couldn’t figure it out.

He pondered for a long time.

Finally, he spoke cautiously.

"Loki, take a trip to the other three of the Four Great Divine Domains."

"Tell them everything you saw."

"See what they have to say."

"We’ll all judge whether it’s real or fake together."

"Yes, Father."

Loki replied.

He turned, tore open a spatial passage, and stepped inside.

Soon,

the news of Lu Lingchen’s "accidental death"

spread as if it had grown wings,

reaching all Four Great Divine Domains.

At first,

not a single Ancient God believed it.

They all thought it was a conspiracy by Great Xia,

meant to lure them into a trap.

But as they cautiously sent out countless spies to investigate further,

they suddenly discovered something.

Lu Lingchen...

was truly no longer on Blue Star!

His presence could no longer be sensed anywhere on the entire planet.

It was as if he had never been there at all.

God-King Odin, God-King Zeus, Pharaoh Khufu, and the Vedic Trinity

once again gathered secretly on the border of Great Xia.

This time, they brought no other Ancient Gods with them.

Only the six of them, the strongest at the Peak of the Quasi-God Realm, had come.

"So? Should we enter Great Xia and take a look?"

Odin was the first to speak.

His eyes were full of vigilance.

"I’ll go with whatever you decide."

Pharaoh Khufu remained hesitant, unable to make up his mind.

"What’s there to be afraid of? Lu Lingchen is already dead."

The Vedic Trinity was the closest to Great Xia.

They were more eager than anyone to invade.

"Great Xia has no Divine Realm experts now."

"The six of us combined are more than enough to sweep through all of Great Xia."

"Stop dawdling. The worst that can happen is death."

Finally, the short-tempered Zeus made the decision.

"Let’s go! We’ll go in and see!"

"If Lu Lingchen is really dead, we’ll wipe out Great Xia!"

The six experts at the Peak of the Quasi-God Realm

cautiously approached the Great Xia border together.

One thousand meters...

Five hundred meters...

One hundred meters...

For them, entering Great Xia should have taken but the blink of an eye.

This time, however, the approach took a full ten minutes.

With every step, they would stop and observe for a long time,

terrified that Lu Lingchen would suddenly jump out from somewhere.

When they stood at the very edge of the Great Xia border,

they still couldn’t sense the slightest trace of Lu Lingchen’s presence.

Only then did they dare to be certain.

Lu Lingchen was truly "gone."

As for where he went,

they didn’t know.

All they knew was this:

There was no one left in Great Xia who could suppress them!

"Go! Into Great Xia!"

An excited glint appeared on Zeus’s face.

He eagerly took a step forward,

intending to cross into Great Xia’s territory.

But the very instant his right foot touched the Great Xia border,

the sky was suddenly filled with dark clouds.

Lightning flashed and thunder roared.

A terrifying, world-destroying power instantly coalesced.

It locked onto Zeus!!!

"This is... the Forbidden God Law!!!"

The six powerful Ancient Gods exclaimed in unison.

Looks of terror spread across their faces.

Zeus was startled.

He hurriedly pulled back the right foot that had stepped into Great Xia.

Only then did the dark clouds and Thunder that filled the sky slowly dissipate,

as if they had never appeared at all.

Odin’s brows furrowed.

His face was filled with confusion.

"We already sacrificed the Bloodlines of our descendants."

"We’ve evaded the Forbidden God Law’s detection."

"Why has the Forbidden God Law suddenly detected us again?"

No god could answer his question.

They were all dumbfounded.

Pharaoh Khufu looked toward Great Xia.

He raised another question.

"Why does the Forbidden God Law only appear within Great Xia’s borders?"

"When we stand outside the border, nothing happens at all."

"But the moment we step into Great Xia, it triggers the Forbidden God Law?"

This was too strange!

It wasn’t just the Ancient Gods from the Divine Domains who couldn’t figure it out.

Even Chu Sheng didn’t understand at first.

It was only after watching Lu Lingchen ascend into the sky and vanish as a golden light

that it had a sudden realization.

It understood what Lu Lingchen had intended to do.

Lu Lingchen had sacrificed himself, merging with the Forbidden God Law.

He had effectively applied a new patch to it!

From now on,

gods were forbidden from entering Great Xia’s territory!

Any expert of the Divine Realm who dared to take even a single step into Great Xia

would immediately trigger the Forbidden God Law.

It would bring down a world-ending Celestial Tribulation!

Chu Sheng gazed in the direction where Lu Lingchen had disappeared.

It remained silent for a long time.

Its heart was filled with a mix of complex emotions.

’Old Director, is this the gift you’ve given me?’

It was at the Peak of the Emperor Realm.

It wouldn’t be restricted by the Forbidden God Law.

It could freely enter and leave Great Xia’s territory.

But the Ancient Gods from the Divine Domains, who were desperate to kill it,

could only stand outside the borders of Great Xia,

watching it helplessly.

There was nothing they could do to it.

Meanwhile, it could go in and out of Great Xia at any time.

It could launch sneak attacks and kill the Ancient Gods of the Divine Domains when they least expected it,

absorbing their Qi Blood and Soul Power to increase its own strength.

Lu Lingchen’s action

not only guaranteed its safety,

but also provided it with the perfect conditions to level up.

More importantly, it completely protected the hundreds of millions of citizens of Great Xia,

ensuring they would never again have to worry about an invasion by Divine Realm experts.

Chu Sheng looked up.

It looked at the six Ancient Gods outside Great Xia’s borders.

Its compound eyes gradually turned ice-cold.

’Such perfect conditions.’

’If I don’t wipe you all out,’

’it would be a true waste of the Old Director’s sacrifice!’

Just as Chu Sheng was wondering which Divine Domain to target first,

a voice suddenly came from within the Primordial Grotto Heaven.

"Mosquito, your World-Defining Astrolabe is ready."
