Chapter 569: Chapter 423: The Four Divine Sons Gather, Conflict Looms_2
The preparations of the Church Clan were overly thorough, to an abnormal extent.
"Falling here is the Thunder God, the legendary Main God! There are no shortage of mighty forces wanting to plunder. Xu Gu? There are more than a handful of creatures that can raise a hand and squash him to death."
Beside Su Ye, a golden-robed elder spoke up.
Upon hearing this, the Demon King Xiao turned her gaze toward the depths of the relics, and her pupils shrank. Indeed, she saw several figures that made one’s heart tremble.
"The four Divine Sons of the Divine Domain have actually all arrived."
"Moreover, there are powerful forces from beyond the Divine Domain, Mechanical Sea, and the Human Clan."
The Demon King Xiao paused.
Clearly, there was something wrong with her intelligence. The treasures within this Divine relic were bound to be astonishing.
Of course, no matter how tempting, she wasn’t too concerned.
The Witch Clan of the Mechanical Sea occupied an immensely vast territory in the upper spaces of the Divine Domain Continent. What treasure had they not seen?
She was here mainly to find a way to assassinate Xu Gu!
Seeing so many powerhouses gathered here reassured her.
Given Xu Gu’s arrogantly dismissive character, he would certainly provoke widespread anger and then be eradicated by the many strong ones present.
Though they from the Mechanical Sea were overbearing, there were still some limitations in how they could operate within the Divine Domain Continent. It would be more efficient to let these native forces take action!
"Miss Xiao, would you like to join us when the relics open? Should I encounter some opportunities that are of little use, I could perhaps pass them on to you."
Su Ye spoke indifferently, fancying himself to be graceful and irresistibly charming. He believed such an offer would certainly make the Demon King Xiao bloom with joy and then throw herself at him.
However, looking at Su Ye before her, the Demon King Xiao felt a sense of revulsion within.
If it weren’t for his usefulness, she would have already mocked his groveling behavior.
"Of course, we can go together. As for the opportunities, there’s no need to pass them on to me. I’m not too interested in the opportunities inside, I just want to see the people and personally take down Xu Gu," the Demon King Xiao said casually.
Her voice was soft, like the most delightful sound in the world, causing numerous beings to feel their hearts stir with passionate unrest, unable to contain their agitation.
Because the relics had not yet opened, the area guessed to be near the gateway was vast.
Various strong ones and the top young geniuses were all at a distance from each other.
They didn’t want to engage in a fight before the relics opened and give an advantage to others.
Near a mountain peak that was flashing with thunderbolts.
A terrifying figure sat cross-legged in the void, surrounded by endless radiant light.
Beside him floated three SSS-rank Holy Artifacts, emitting a formidable and unsurpassed pressure.
Amidst the dispersing light, he appeared like a Sun God.
"Great One, besides the other three Divine Sons, Xu Gu has also arrived," said a handsome, effeminate man with a fox tail leaning on his side in a gentle voice.
"Xu Gu? A lowly human boy, is he especially worth mentioning?" said the figure like a Sun God, indifferently.
"However, the Mechanical Sea seems to be issuing a warrant for his arrest. They’ve put out a Demigod Artifact!"
"Though I have no interest in killing ants, this Demigod Artifact—this Divine Son has decided to claim it!"
With those words, he slowly stood up, his gaze upon the world before him, which was undergoing tremendous changes.
He was one of the four Divine Sons, the Sun God’s Divine Son.
Behind him was the force of the even older and more mysterious Sun Palace, worshipping the Sun God.
There was some discord with the Church that worshipped the Light God.
The gods they worshipped were in contention for the great way.
Of course, the gods they worshipped were True Gods, the divine beings of the past.
However, with the gods fallen, authority was transferred. The new gods of the Mechanical Sea took control. The Ancient Church adapted to the tide, aligning itself with the Light God of the Mechanical Sea as well as the god’s kin, gaining substantial support.
Otherwise, the Ancient Church might not have indeed become one of the four overlords of the Divine Domain Continent’s Middle Layer Space.
The Sun Palace, on the other hand, didn’t clearly align with a particular faction of the Mechanical Sea but was closer to them. Without much support, they still firmly held one of the overlords’ positions.
It just goes to show how profound their heritage was!
In another place.
A floating palace emitted countless auspicious signs, making the surrounding area seem like a fairyland.
Within the palace, the stars shone brightly.
A peerless figure shrouded in misty celestial light.
Before her floated an ancient mirror.
The figure slowly reached out a jade hand, grabbed the ancient mirror, and gazed into the scene within the mirror, momentarily falling into a stupor.
"Mirror, mirror, I ask you once more, who is the most enchanting person in this world?"
The figure caressed the ancient mirror, asking somewhat unwillingly.
The result was that Xu Gu’s scene still emerged within the mirror.
"Xu Gu, how is this possible!"
She felt a great disparity.
She had thought that the most charming person in the entire starry universe was herself.
But unexpectedly, it turned out to be Xu Gu!
Even according to the ancient mirror’s hints, her charm wasn’t even a fraction of Xu Gu’s!
She stared at Xu Gu, lost in thought. She, of course, admitted that Xu Gu truly had divine looks and noble qualities; just the image alone stirred her heart.
But the gap shouldn’t be this vast.
With that thought, she couldn’t help but ask unwillingly:
"What are my chances of killing Xu Gu?"
"0"
A very straightforward number appeared in the ancient mirror.
"0? Not even a slight chance?!"
Her beautiful silhouette instantly gripped the ancient mirror tightly, horrifying power converging in her palm, she almost wanted to crush the ancient mirror in her hand!
This ancient mirror was a damaged Divine Artifact, possessing a certain ability to predict the future.
She had consulted it on many matters.
Without exception, all its responses were utterly accurate.
Now it seemed, it had finally broken.
Sighing, although she somewhat couldn’t accept the outcome, this was, after all, a damaged Divine Artifact, it was bound to completely break down sooner or later. She should have foreseen this day long ago.
Nevertheless, she still hesitated for a moment and then asked:
"Will I be killed by Xu Gu?"
"High probability," said the ancient mirror.
With slight anger, she affirmed: "I am backed by the Star God Clan, one of the four Divine Sons of the Divine Domain.
"Even in the lower space, I have a strong backing!
"Even the kings from the Mechanical Sea dare not act recklessly before me! What virtues and capabilities does Xu Gu, a flawed Human Clan member, have?!"
While saying this, she still very honestly asked:
"How can I avoid being killed by him?"
The ancient mirror mercilessly replied: "Beg on your knees for Xu Gu to take you as a female slave."
"It really is broken." She sneered coldly, put away the ancient mirror, and spoke with chilling indifference.
"However, you did give me a wake-up call; if I encounter Xu Gu and he is willing to kneel and beg to become my servant, I might just spare his life."
...
Xu Gu fishing in the Wind and Thunder Sea caused quite a stir; the already tumultuous area of the Thunder God’s Relics turned even more turbulent.
Not just the four Divine Sons.
Other powerhouses, heavenly talents from major forces in the starry sky, became very interested upon hearing that Xu Gu would set foot in this region, vying for the Divine treasures, their fighting spirit surging.
They didn’t actually have much goodwill or enmity with Xu Gu, nor did any hatred exist.
Without exception, they all just wanted to climb up the ranks by stepping on Xu Gu.
Xu Gu had many treasures on his person; defeating him meant not only claiming his treasures but also potentially selling him to the Human Clan or the Mechanical Sea. Both sides would offer sky-high Treasures to trade!
By then, obtaining at least a Demigod Artifact, if not a Divine Artifact, wouldn’t be difficult.
As such, some of the top heavenly talents and older generation powerhouses were sharpening their knives, preparing themselves.
...
There were always people wanting to kill Xu Gu.
However, Xu Gu had never taken any of it to heart.
Having been reborn, carrying a system, and with external support, if he couldn’t let go and dominate, it would be rather embarrassing.
Everyone thought that Xu Gu was in a desperate search for heavenly materials and earthly treasures in the Wind and Thunder Sea, preparing for survival within the relics.
In reality,
Xu Gu was comfortably lying in pleasure, enjoying the service of beautiful women.
He was extremely at ease and relaxed.
Meanwhile,
A vast amount of Experience and Divine Points were continuously flooding into his body.
His strength was improving every moment.
This was the advantage of being a one-man army.
One command would have countless nobles and fleets killing monsters for him, sweeping through dungeons, and plundering riches.
