All children of a Divine Realm will have their first special Saint, the difference is only a matter of speed. Unfortunately, not everyone is lucky enough for their first Saint to survive until the end. The majority of the Divine Realm children’s first special Saints fall prematurely, which is a great pity.
Once the first Saint can grow alongside the child of the Divine Realm, like how Lin Xiao had grown to possess powerful divine power, their strength can almost reach the level of the children of the Divine Realm. The kind of Clan that Lin Xiao himself created is overwhelmingly powerful without bounds.
After Slarda made his presence known, the terrifying majesty he exuded caused the Insect Race king’s face to change drastically. The swarming bugs that kept pouring through the portal between the two worlds suddenly hesitated, reflecting the Insect Race king’s mood with a brief pause.
The choice was to continue the attack, as an arrow once loosed from the bow cannot be called back.
However, the Insect Race king’s confidence clearly wasn’t as full as before. Lin Xiao distinctly felt several hidden wills of the Insect Race king fly out from the portal and stealthily scatter in all directions. He estimated that the king’s confidence wasn’t as abundant as before and wanted to ascertain the specific strength of Lin Xiao’s Divine Realm.
Lin Xiao laughed, then pointed a finger, summoning the vast power of his Divine Realm to solidify the surrounding void, forcefully intercepting the wills he had sent out within this area.
Although he did not care about being discovered, having more of the enemy’s forces die in his Divine Realm was still favorable.
However, this situation did not last long. Someone who could become a king was not a fool. After this interception, the king immediately determined there was a problem. The offensive of his underlings quickly slowed down. Although the swarm of cannon fodder from the portal between the two worlds remained substantial, they no longer rushed out as before but instead stayed near the portal in a defensive posture.
"Have you found it?"
Within the God Country, Lin Xiao, seated on the Divine Throne at the core of the Divine Palace, said to Slarda below:
"Counterattack!"
"The will of the Lord is also my will!"
As Slarda’s figure gradually solidified into an enormous shape that blotted out the sky, the instant he appeared, the portal between the two worlds violently shook. Waves of distortion blasted outward, and the Insect Race closest to the gateway began to retreat.
Shortly after, the remaining bugs were wiped out. The first wave of battle-damaged magic puppets charged into the portal, with numerous Mage Towers flying down from the sky to follow closely behind. Several Titans in the form of hundred-meter-tall giants mixed with lesser Naga troops stepped into the portal.
They did not need to wear down their enemies with fodder like the Insect Race, they simply went straight for a frontal assault.
Although it was certain that a large number of God Realm Kin would fall in this battle, defeating the opponent and looting their Divine Realm would suffice to make up for all losses.
A momentary loss was trivial. Considering that now there were very few occasions requiring Divine Realm warfare, it was unknown how long they would need to recuperate after this battle.
Lin Xiao himself did not take action, simply assigning Slarda as the commander to lead other powerful beings from the Divine Realm and the vast army of Kin into the Insect Race king’s Divine Realm.
In terms of the strength and size of the Divine Realm, his—having merged with the remains of four or five ancestrals—was definitely stronger than that of the Insect Race king’s. When it came to the strength of the Divine Realm Kin, his had the upper hand too, and in terms of high-end combat power, he also had the advantage. Even sending only Slarda was enough to counter the master of the opposing Divine Realm, and although the other Divine Realm heroes were not on par with Slarda, they each possessed medium divine power.
In an alien world, this might not be much, but for a son of Lin Xiao’s God’s realm, a medium divine power kin was quite formidable. In Lin Xiao’s God’s realm, besides Slarda, there were eight other medium divine powers. His opponent’s divine realm only had four.... The gap was unexpectedly vast for Lin Xiao.
However, this seemed normal when he thought about it. Although the Bug Tribe Master could be considered a super elite, comparable to a child of Gaia in the human world, it was impossible for the master to cheat like he did. No matter how much the master accumulated, it could not be outrageously divine. Having four medium divine powers as followers was already quite impressive.
From the counterattack into the opponent’s divine realm, the battle situation was completely one-sided. Even if the Bug Tribe Master expended a great deal of strength to bestow a series of buffs upon his kin, it couldn’t come close to bridging the absolute gap in combat power between the two sides.
It was like a first-level player who had been buffed into a level two or three still being no match for a level ten player.
Nearly a billion lesser nagas, and hundreds of thousands of adult Titan Naga and Star Spirits assembled and invaded the Bug Tribe Divine Realm, ruthlessly killing their way into the depths of the divine realm, leaving countless insect swarms slaughtered in their wake.
The dense swarms of Rapid Bugs had already been almost entirely decimated, the sky teeming with flying dragons was cleared by successive layers of lightning storms, and the large, powerful Thunder Beasts were overturned in direct confrontations by the Titan Naga. Moreover, the numbers of these Thunder Beasts were even fewer than the Titan Naga.
Totalling less than a hundred thousand, they were outmatched in strength and outnumbered, with only death awaiting them.
Slarda had always given the impression of being steady, and this time was no exception. Despite the overwhelming advantage in strength, he took no chances and did not give his opponents any opportunity for reprieve, advancing step by methodical step. He began by exterminating the remaining insects from the outer circle before finally closing in on the central nest of the Bug Tribe Master.
At this point, only two of the ten groups had determined the victors.
Two years later, Lin Xiao’s true body crossed the passage between worlds, only to see Slarda, who had transformed into a towering, heaven-reaching true body, standing in front of a super hive in the heart of the Bug Tribe Master’s divine realm. The hive extended thousands of kilometers up to the top of the divine realm, and with arms raised against it, wave after wave of tangible distortions emanated from him to counter the circles of twisting waves radiating from the hive.
Insects continuously burrowed out of the hive, only to be quickly crushed by the horrific forces exerted by both sides.
He saw at a glance that Slarda was wrestling power with the Bug Tribe Master through his own might.
Using his power alone would surely not be enough to contend with the Bug Tribe Master, who was backed by a vast divine realm, but as Lin Xiao’s leading Saint, Slarda inherited all of Lin Xiao’s divine positions of godhood, except for the nature of black holes and the origin of time.
His own energy, coupled with the War Godship, and inheriting Truth and Creation, Life and Death, Balance, and Reincarnation from Lin Xiao.
With the Divine Position of Truth, he comprehended every rule within the entire divine realm of the Bug Tribe Master, weakening them with the Rule of Balance and replenishing his strength unceasingly through the Reincarnation Law, thus forging the miracle of forcefully suppressing a Bug Tribe Master comparable to a powerful divine power with just the body of a kin.
And he did so within the enemy’s divine realm, no less.
Lin Xiao was extremely gratified, feeling the satisfaction of a painstakingly raised child finally coming of age.
From then on, he was basically at ease. The Bug Tribe Master’s death was inevitable; it was only a matter of time.
However, he had no intention of dragging the fight out any longer. With a single step, he appeared in front of the central hive in the divine realm and pointed.
Yet, the moment he appeared, a blindingly bright spot suddenly flashed within the hive, and the next second, Lin Xiao’s body disappeared in an indescribable instant, as if erased from existence.
```
"Boldness!"
```
```
A roar of extreme anger echoed in the void, causing everyone to feel a jolt in their heads and become dizzy. Luan Wanqing felt his mind float away for just a moment, only to see the sky suddenly brighten as if a sun had risen out of nowhere in the void. An unimaginable pressure descended, like the explosion of a sun, with blindingly intense white light erupting and making everything turn gray and hazy.
```
```
Nothing could be seen, felt, or touched—everything turned into nothingness.
```
```
In such a state, Luan Wanqing instantly felt as if he had returned to the moment when he first became a Son of the God Realm and saw a True God; the presence was vast, boundless, and neither to be looked upon nor comprehended.
```
```
However, after all, it was a clash of great divine power at Level 18, and after the initial shock, he gradually adapted and began to grasp the rules around him, albeit unable to see clearly into the distance nor daring to try, for he was well aware that it was a fight between a great divine power and the Bug Tribe Master.
```
```
Lei Wanqing didn’t know what had happened, but the Master of Radiance, in a fit of rage, had struck out at the Bug Tribe Master. Outside, although he could see or sense nothing, and there were no earth-shattering explosions or roars, Lei Wanqing was acutely aware of the terrifying forces at play and dared not make a move.
```
```
The confrontation between great divine powers had entered a realm beyond their comprehension, one they couldn’t understand or participate in—a hasty involvement would only lead to certain death.
```
```
From the distant void, two blazing suns, fiercely colliding, could be seen hovering silently over the Tidal Crystal Barrier System within the Chaos Sea of Void, emitting terrifying fluctuations that even the chaotic space twisted in their presence.
```
```
Beneath the brilliance of these two suns, two fleets were enveloped in endless light.
```
```
The massive Tidal Crystal Barrier System began to dissolve under the impact of the great divine powers, and the World Crystal Wall melted to create a huge breach, into which searing light poured through...
```
```
In the Tidal Main World, Lin Xiao’s incarnation hid within his Temple, shivering as he felt the all-encompassing light from the vault of heaven.
```
```
This incarnation had been preparing in this world for many years and, with the help of other human True Gods who had established themselves here, had now become a Demigod, already preparing for his divine enthronement.
```
Updat𝓮d fr𝙤m ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com.
```
However, there was still a long way to go before the actual enthronement because, when it was his turn, he suddenly found that this world was very peculiar. Not only was there a limited number of True Gods it could accommodate, but even the number of each type of Godhood was limited. This surprised him and left him speechless because the Godhood he had prepared for was already filled. He had to either slay a True God who possessed the same Godhood or choose another, unconflicted Godhood.
```
```
Changing Godhood was troublesome since he had already built a fundamental faith system around the Godhood when he condensed it. The followers believed in him because of the Godhood he controlled, and changing it would have a significant impact on them.
```
```
But he had no choice not to change; for a Demigod to slay a True God was no easy task, especially since there were not many True Gods in this world, and those who succeeded in the enthronement generally had their own God Country.
```
```
With his capabilities, slaying a True God without a God Country was not difficult, but it was impossible to defeat one with a God Country.
```
```
Torn until now, he had finally decided to attempt Godslaying not long ago. But as the all-pervading light from the divine filled the Primary Material Plane, the previously full War Godship suddenly had a vacancy. He could proceed with his divine enthronement.
```
```
That meant that just moments ago, for some reason, one—or rather, several—indigenous True Gods with the War Godship had perished.
```
```
Lin Xiao had no idea what had just happened, nor did he wish to interfere. With such a golden opportunity presenting itself with an available slot, he decisively chose to proceed with his enthronement.
```
```
Having experienced divine enthronement more than once, he didn’t need much preparation. He directly communicated with the World Source Sea and began the Ignition of the Divine Fire.
```
However, the instant he successfully communicated with the World Source Sea, a supremely familiar sensation enveloped his consciousness, and an infinite influx of information poured directly into his mind. Lin Xiao instantly knew everything he desired to understand.
"So that’s how it is!"
Divine Enthronement went smoothly and without any risks, and he successfully became a God of War.
But he didn’t care about that at all. Instead, he pondered the information obtained in his mind, murmuring to himself,
"If that is the case, then this great existence and I share the same origin."
He looked up at the Vault of Heaven, where the vast expanse of light had dimmed significantly. It was because a towering figure stood in front of the World Crystal Wall’s breach, mobilizing the World Origin Force to repair the crack.
Looking at that towering figure, though he had never seen it before, he could sense an extreme familiarity and closeness.
He felt a deep closeness despite never having seen it, and the reason was simple: their souls’ essence shared the same origin.
Just now, in the instant of his Divine Enthronement when he communicated with the World Source Sea, he saw within the Tidal Crystal Wall System’s World Source Sea a core that shared the same origin as the Crystal Wall System’s Core integrated into his soul.
To be specific, the World Source Sea of this Tidal Crystal Wall System had been thoroughly integrated by the supreme treasure mentioned by the upper echelons of the War Zone. This treasure, in fact, is a Crystal Wall System’s Core that is intact, unlike the remnant shell he initially obtained from Major General Keri. It contained the origin of a Crystal Wall System far more powerful than the Tidal Crystal Wall System, which is why it could elevate the Tidal Crystal Wall System to a higher-dimensional universe capable of sustaining great divine power existences.
To be even more specific, the Lord of the Tidal Crystal Wall System is actually an outsider originating from the same Crystal Wall Universe as the outer shell of the Crystal Wall System’s Core integrated into Lin Xiao’s soul.
In his hands is the shell of the Crystal Wall System’s Core, while the core within the Tidal Crystal Wall System is a part of that original Crystal Wall Universe’s core.
Or to rephrase, both the shell in his hands and the core within the Tidal Crystal Wall System are parts of the Crystal Wall Universe Origin Core from that powerful universe, which shattered to prevent the enemy from seizing it; the piece Major General Keri held was only a fragment.
The reason he could sense the resonance from the essence of his soul from afar is because they share the same origin.
And the one wielding the Tidal World’s Crystal Wall System’s Origin is one of the great divine power entities who survived from that universe, who took another fragment of the core with him when he left this world.
Yes, this King of Gods of the Tidal Crystal Wall System was once a great divine power entity but fell from grace following grave injuries suffered in that war. After that, he ground countless worlds to bricks, ceaselessly plundering the origins of other worlds to mend the fractured Origin Core until now, when he finally gathered enough origin to restore his divine power.
Yes, he has now reclaimed his grand essence and is merely waiting for the successful elevation of the Tidal Crystal Wall System to become a proper great divine power, the Lord of the Crystal Wall System.
With the home field advantage, it would take at least two or more great entities to possibly defeat him within the Tidal Crystal Wall System.
This great existence is named Zustar!
