A grand observation ceremony took place in Zhongzhou, attended not only by the Holy Lord of the Holy Spirit Clan and the revered Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, but also by powerful figures from various previously hidden races who brought their descendants to witness the ceremony.
The fairy race, the kings of nature, were led by their fairy king and his descendants to attend the ceremony. The top-ranking demon races also sent their elite teams. All races with the ambition to become gods had come to Zhongzhou at this moment.
Who is Jiang Yuan? He is the person most likely to challenge for godhood on the entire battlefield, and the divine fire he ignited is of extraordinary significance.
"Look! The two Water Cubes belonging to the Sea Clan are on fire!"
A gasp caused everyone present to turn serious as eighty-one Water Cubes spanned the entire Imperial Star, single-handedly submerging vast swathes of land.
In other words, one Water Cube would be enough to submerge an entire continent.
But now, this enormous cube filled with seawater is on fire—what an unbelievable scene!
"He was sacrificing to the sea creatures."
Among the powerful figures present, only the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden had the most authority to speak on the matter of independently condensing divine fire, and she was also one of the few who understood Jiang Yuan the most.
"Master, Jiang Yuan is clearly a human, so why does he have the ability to sacrifice sea creatures?" Gu Anlei asked, puzzled. She had been away from Jiang Yuan for some time and had grown distant from this man who even her master feared. Her former comrades-in-arms, with whom she used to play and joke, had gradually drifted apart.
"The Sea God's Sacrifice!"
As soon as the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden finished speaking, an enormous trident mark rose from the flames.
"Back then, there were five star lords under the Supreme Lord. Among them, the Water Virtue Star Lord's lineage was extremely similar to that of the Sea God. In the seventh Investiture of the Gods battlefield, the Water Virtue Star Lord was killed when the priest drained his water power." Images flashed through the eyes of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden. It was a cruel battlefield where gods were as insignificant as grass and demigods were as insignificant as ants.
"Master, what is this Supreme One?" Gu Anlei had never heard the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden mention this name before. Perhaps only with Jiang Yuan would her master have more feelings to express, so she wanted to take this opportunity to learn more about the mysteries of the world.
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden was briefly dazed, then said in Jiang Yuan's direction, "Like me, you are one of the companion gods of the Emperor Star."
"What about the Supreme Master Uncle now?" Gu Anlei couldn't help but ask, as he was one of the most powerful people on the entire Imperial Star.
"Transform into the Investiture of the Gods and push the eighth battle of divine fall to its peak!" The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden clenched her fist as she spoke.
It was at this moment that Zhongli Tong said softly, "People only know that the Companion God is cold and ruthless, but they don't know that the Companion God paid an eternal price for the continuation of the Imperial Star!"
"Transcendence for all living beings is unattainable!" the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden laughed self-deprecatingly. "Perhaps, selfishness is the mindset one should have on the battlefield."
Gu Anlei suddenly said with feeling, "But I think Jiang Yuan is quite good this way too."
Jiang Yuan's efforts for his race have been seen by everyone. As a human, Gu Anlei admires Jiang Yuan, but due to her status, she can only keep this feeling to herself.
However, upon hearing Gu Anlei's words, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden smiled noncommittally and replied, "But someone like him will eventually die on the path of continuous climbing!"
"There are no ladders to this sky; you can only climb to the top of the mountain with all your might, but you can never cross the sky!"
The words of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden were not only heard by Gu Anlei and Zhong Litong, but were also intentionally relayed to Bu Yao's ears.
Upon hearing the telepathic message, Bu Yao turned around and met the gaze of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden; both of their expressions changed slightly.
Bu Yao had a vague sense of familiarity with the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, but she couldn't quite put her finger on why.
“Dark Godhead, you’re about to ignite the divine fire to forge your divine position!” The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden saw through Bu Yao’s secret at a glance.
After obtaining Jiang Yuan's Dark Forest, Bu Yao's divine power erupted in an explosive manner, including not only her divine position but also the ethereal divine fire. All of this stemmed from Jiang Yuan's understanding of darkness.
Bu Yao withdrew her power. She didn't want to spend too much time with an ancient powerhouse like the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, otherwise there really wouldn't be any secrets left.
"How about we play a game, a game of love and faith!" The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden wasn't just here for the fun; if she could annoy Jiang Yuan, why wouldn't she?
"I'm here to observe; I don't want to get involved in the war between humans and sea creatures!"
Bu Yao would definitely refuse outright. The current war between the sea race and the human race is very beneficial to the Holy Spirit Clan. She is not foolish enough to invite trouble upon herself.
"Throw yourself into the divine fire, and I bet Jiang Yuan won't care if you live or die; he just wants to ignite his own divine fire." The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden deliberately targeted Bu Yao; in truth, she couldn't explain why she was encouraging Bu Yao.
Whether I ignite the divine fire or not is none of your business!
Bu Yao was completely bewildered. Was this Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, whose origins were even more mysterious than the Holy Lord's, out of her mind?
"Yes, since one of you is going to die anyway, you're sacrificing yourselves for love. If you die, the Dark Divine Flame will be consumed by the Slaughter Divine Flame; if he dies, the Slaughter Divine Flame will become nourishment for the Dark Divine Flame. This is the fruit of your love. Perhaps, one day you'll have the chance to transcend, and this fruit will be your eternal witness!"
“Of course!” the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden added, “None of you have that chance, because the spot for transcendence is definitely mine!”
"ill!"
Bu Yao snorted coldly, disregarding whether the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden was an ancient powerhouse or not. After cursing, she walked towards the location of the more intense divine fire, wanting to experience the moment the divine fire was ignited up close.
"She called me sick?"
As soon as Bu Yao left, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden looked bewildered. She hadn't expected that her well-intentioned reminder would be seen as meddling.
Gu Anlei and Zhong Litong remained silent. In fact, ever since the divine fire was ignited, they had also discovered that their saint seemed to have fallen ill, and it was not a minor illness, but the most difficult-to-cure mental illness.
