Chapter 542: Chapter 374: Secrets of the Gods, Primordial Continent! (Part 2)
"Naturally, this is the great trend."
Zhong Heng referred not only to the Celestial Rainbow Alliance’s intention to devour this world.
But also to the Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm’s retrieval of numerous Secret Realms.
These Secret Realm fragments, broken away from Jiuzhou, are destined to be reclaimed by Jiuzhou sooner or later.
Central State suffered the most severe fragmentation, while the conditions in the other eight states are much better; unlike Central State, where even small Cultivation Realm Secret Realm passages can be easily found.
The words of the two were few, but it seemed that both of them knew a lot.
"I need to know the truth of this world."
"Truth?"
"What exactly is this authority you speak of..."
"Authority... Naturally, authority—the presence of authority can be felt by any deity as their divine format strengthens through cultivation, and thus they can retrieve authority."
Upon hearing these words, Zhong Heng initially felt nothing.
It was only after Utar finished speaking that Zhong Heng seemed to have thought of something, his pupils shrank abruptly, staring straight at Utar.
Utar looked curiously at the Outer Realm visitor before him.
Utar differed from other deities who had been rigid for millennia; he easily perceived the arrival of Zhong Heng and others.
Besides him, there were other deities aware, though most of these deities were those wandering outside the Five Great Pantheons, and most of them knew the destiny of the Gods Continent.
In the prophecy of the God of Destiny.
The Gods Continent is destined to face the twilight of the gods in the future.
Although the deities of the Five Great Pantheons hold numerous followers, their faith is abundant, and their power formidable, their authority is inferior to these wandering deities.
These wandering deities have few followers, but their authority is powerful and unique, thus they can maintain strength.
The Celestial Rainbow Alliance targets the Five Great Pantheons, and they are the least anxious.
In Utar’s view, this Outer Realm influence calling itself the Celestial Rainbow Alliance must possess strength that rivals the entire Gods Continent.
Their leader must be absolutely heroic.
Just... what happened to him...
"Cultivate the divine format, strengthen the divine format, perceive authority!!!"
In Zhong Heng’s mind, only this phrase remained.
There is a similar saying in the Cultivation Realm, though with slight differences.
Cultivate the Nascent Soul, the Nascent Soul transforms into Primordial Spirit, the Primordial Spirit perceives laws, using laws as a chance to ascend to immortality!
But what can these deities, whose life level is only at Golden Core, use to contend with True Immortals? Almost impossible to naturally...
"It absolutely cannot be naturally formed!"
Such a thought appeared in Zhong Heng’s mind.
At Zhong Heng’s request, Utar demonstrated the divine path of this world.
Ignite the Divine Fire, condensing the divine format with Divine Fire, the divine format carries authority.
How similar to the Golden Core Nascent Soul Transformation True Immortal.
"Can you tell me how this system originated?"
The Jiuzhou Incense Dao also has a similar concept, although it is completely closer to the Cultivation Dao, condensing the Incense Fire Primordial Spirit, using the Incense Fire Primordial Spirit to carry laws, thus ascending to immortality, shedding the restricted deity form to become a True Immortal.
From an essential perspective, True Immortals ascending through any Dao are the same.
Whereas the deities on the Gods Continent have completely incorporated Cultivation Dao into their Incense Dao.
Utar fell silent briefly.
Said: "I can tell you, but you cannot wantonly slaughter or abuse more living beings on the Gods Continent."
Zhong Heng nodded without hesitation.
Nonsense, these people are all cultivation resources, can provide cultivation seedlings to the Celestial Rainbow Continent, how could they be slaughtered.
"The Divine Dao originates from... the Primordial Continent..."
"In legends, all deities initially emerged from the Primordial Continent."
"Where is the Primordial Continent?"
"I don’t know..."
Zhong Heng’s expression mildly cooled, his black robe moved automatically without wind, the lotus dark pattern on it seemed to emit a glow.
"You are the God of Wisdom and Erudition, how can you not know the location you emerged from."
Utar sensed the surrounding killing intent; even he couldn’t pinpoint the specific source of the killing intent, only feeling that in an instant, the surrounding heaven and earth began to target him.
Utar found it inconceivable; these deities possessed Heaven and Earth Authority, from another perspective, they were heaven and earth’s favored ones, how could heaven and earth harbor killing intent towards their children.
But Utar didn’t know that the cultivators had long learned to utilize the Power of Heaven and Earth in combat.
Zhong Heng’s Array Dao was merely a part of it.
"I truly do not know! The Primordial Continent vanished two thousand years ago, and now most deities are mortals who ignited the Divine Fire to cultivate into deities, with few original deities remaining."
"Few, does that mean there are some?"
"Yes, the Earth God, though she sleeps deeply and won’t awaken easily."
"Then force her to wake."
Zhong Heng waved his hand, and arrays flashed.
Transforming into chains that sealed Utar.
"Sir, what are you doing, we have no disputes! I can help you target the Five Great Pantheons!"
Zhong Heng merely smirked coldly, snapping his fingers lightly.
The sky rippled, like a curtain being lifted, the distant Romantic Sea also dissolved into points of light.
This place turned out to be only a grand array.
A sphere of light appeared in Zhong Heng’s hand, containing the vast information Utar searched about the Celestial Rainbow Alliance.
Captured by the array, faced with this communication information similar to Divine Sense, the alliance had no lack of means to intercept.
"How is this possible!"
"Are you searching for your accomplices?"
Surrounding were bright beams, beneath them, one deity after another was bound to crucifixes by Array Pattern Lock Chains.
These deities, like Utar, were powerful wandering deities of authority, yet they ultimately were anxious.
Utar had indeed attempted to transmit a message to his companions, but these companions had already been controlled by the Celestial Rainbow Alliance.
"Master!"
Lin Wui Qiu Yi stepped forward, bowing to Zhong Heng, accompanied by a dozen Golden Core Masters.
"No need to use this person for energy, treat him as a guest."
Utar was indeed the first to come into contact with the Celestial Rainbow Alliance’s cultivators, and as he said, Utar hadn’t transmitted messages to other deities.
Though that was before, beforehand, Utar had, as he claimed, faced the Celestial Rainbow Alliance with an attitude accepting the advent of the twilight of the gods.
But now...
Zhong Heng didn’t know how Utar was persuaded by other deities, actually coming to act as an informant.
He walked as a mortal within the Freedom Alliance.
Utar truly took it upon himself to seek out Zhong Heng.
In reality, it was merely a response to signals Zhong Heng released, leading Utar to believe he may have been discovered, thus playing along to approach him.
This was merely a net cast by the Celestial Rainbow Alliance, unexpectedly gaining more information.
"Earth God? Primordial Continent?"
[New Source Era Year 5242, you encountered the God of Wisdom and Erudition, Utar, and learned much from his words.]
[Powerful deities drifting outside the Five Great Pantheons were captured by you in one swoop, among them even the Main God of the Haoyang Pantheon.]
[You invented five great arrays targeting the God of Gods: Deity Trapping, Deity Slaying, Godslaying, Deity Butchering, God Extermination.]
[You began to intensify your control over the Freedom Alliance, which advanced triumphantly.]
[New Source Era Year 5245, the Freedom Alliance gained control over half of the continent’s territory.]
[New Source Era Year 5259, all main gods of the Five Great Pantheons disappeared, countless lands were turned into unclaimed territories by the followers.]
[New gods replaced the positions of old gods, waging wars among themselves to seize more land.]
[New Source Era Year 5261, new authority deities appeared, newly emerged Level 1 Gods became the target of all, and evil gods reemerged.]
[The entire Gods Continent plunged into civil war again, countless new gods perished once more.]
[In the unseen realm by the gods, the profession of Qi Refiner is continuously rising.]
[New Source Era Year 5263, two Level 2 Gods self-destructed in the core of the Romantic Sea, the Earth God Hall appeared.]
[The Earth God emerged, meanwhile, nearly twenty Golden Core Masters from the Celestial Rainbow Alliance appeared together, deploying formation.]
[The newly awakened and weakened Earth God was trapped by the array...]
