Chapter 426, Probing Attack
"We can't wait any longer!" Hundreds of hooves crawled around, and the Fireworm Lord was extremely anxious. The other three True Gods present could wait, but he could not. Four days had passed, and nearly half of the origin of his miniature universe had been devoured. In other words, in another four or five days, all the origin might be devoured, and the entire miniature universe would collapse.
He was the only true god in the entire Fireworm race. Although he would not perish when the miniature universe collapsed and was destroyed, he would be the only one left in the entire race!
How is this any different from genocide?
"Everyone!" Firefly True Lord looked at the three True Gods, Blood Orchid Ancestor, and said, "The World Beast is devouring the origin of the universe at an increasingly faster rate. If this continues, even if the small universe can be preserved in the end, I'm afraid I will never have any hope of escaping reincarnation again."
The fourth demon lord of the Skeleton Clan—the Turbid Abyss Demon Lord—stared at the Fireworm True Lord with two empty holes in his pale skull. The woman formed from the blood-red flower of the Blood Orchid Ancestor also looked at him with a strange expression.
Transcending the cycle of reincarnation? Is there still hope? The Firefly Lord has exhausted his potential; his strength has long since reached its limit. Even if the final World Beast Catastrophe can be resolved, his probability of transcending the cycle of reincarnation is not as high as mine!
The only condition she agreed to allow God the Eye and the others to be among the first to enter the Dark Land was that the true gods of the three eras of reincarnation agree that if the World Beast disaster was resolved, anyone who could transcend reincarnation must allow her and dozens of her people to live in the Holy Land universe.
Anyway, she is a special life form, with only a few dozen members in her race, so she doesn't need much space to survive. As for the alien races currently residing in her small universe, that's something to worry about in the future; there's nothing she can do about it. She has the highest hopes for the Shadow Blade Lord and the Galaxy Lord, and she doesn't even really trust the Divine Eye True Lord or the True God of Enlightenment.
With his current level of power, the Firefly Lord actually thinks he can transcend reincarnation? Where does he get such confidence?
"Firefly, a few of us will go deal with the Beast of the Realm—if the Beast of the Realm were so easy to deal with, the three Ancestral Gods of the Primordial Universe wouldn't be so wary of it."
"Yes, even if our clan's Skeleton Lord came, he wouldn't be absolutely certain of being able to deal with the World Beast. Let's wait for those overlords to arrive before making any decisions."
"Zhuoyuan is right. At least one overlord needs to come before we'll even consider dealing with that world beast."
"Besides, our presence there probably wouldn't be of much use."
The two True Gods spoke, but the Blood Orchid Ancestor remained silent. She had come not only because she was a friend of the Firefly True Lord, but also because she was among the first group members—a situation only possible with the Shadow Blade Lord leading the team. Otherwise, her strength was inferior to those overlords, and she wouldn't have willingly sought death.
There can be allies and friendships between ethnic groups, but more importantly, there are ethnic interests at stake. When an entire ethnic group is on the verge of extinction, everything else is meaningless.
"Firefly, you can go and test it out. The three Ancestral Gods once said that only True Gods who possess Palace Treasures and Soul Treasures are qualified to face World Beasts. Moreover, you also have an offensive mechanical treasure that should allow you to unleash your full power. You can go and test the strength of the World Beasts first."
Upon hearing the Blood Orchid Ancestor's suggestion, the Firefly True Lord hesitated. His strength was indeed considerable, but—
This is a Beast of the Realm!
Two more days passed in this hesitation. More than 70% of the source had been devoured, and the Firefly Lord was driven to madness and anxiety. While struggling with whether to go or not, ripples appeared in the surrounding space. Although extremely subtle, the Blood Orchid Ancestor still noticed them and turned to look. A white-robed old man who looked like an ordinary person appeared there.
God the Eye.
Juehe True God.
Two of the twelve overlords have arrived.
"God with Divine Eyes!"
"Divine Eye!"
"Awakening to the True God!"
"Please, Divine Eye True Lord, save my Fireworm Clan!" The Blood Orchid Ancestor and the Turbid Abyss Demon Lord stepped forward to greet the two. The Fireworm True Lord, with hundreds of claws pawing the void, landed beside the white-robed elder and spoke anxiously. He had been hoping for a hegemon to come, and now two had arrived at once.
Saved!
The Divine Eye True Lord swept his gaze across the four True Gods present, nodded to the Blood Orchid Ancestor, and said, "Fireworm, you are from the first era of reincarnation. Your small universe is still in a somewhat remote location. It will take the Shadow Blade Lord and the others a few more days to arrive."
"These few days" In just six days, more than 70% of the origin has been devoured. At most, in another day or two, the origin of the small universe will be completely devoured. How can it last for more than a few days?
"We are unsure how many Beasts have come this time. We can only assume that the Beasts forced to leave their lair are not the strongest. So we can try to surround and kill them." The Divine Eye True Lord spoke. He did not show any particular aura, but the terrifying power that had accumulated over nearly three cycles of reincarnation was such that only the Juehe True God among the True Gods present could withstand it.
"My clan's Skeleton Lord also means the same thing," said the Turbid Abyss Demon Lord. Although he was the fourth Demon Lord, he was the second strongest in the Skeleton Clan, comparable to the Star True Lord of the Divine Eye Clan.
"I also think we can wait for the Shadow Blade Master and the others to arrive before we talk about it," said Juehe True God.
"Juehe True God, let's wait any longer—" Fireworm True God spoke, and the thirteen Universe Lords behind him also watched eagerly, but in this situation, they, the Universe Lords, had no right to speak.
The arrival of the Jin Dynasty world, especially with the Divine Power Burning Secret Technique and the Mechanical Flow Treasure, has further widened the power gap between the Universe Lords and True Gods. Previously, a dozen Universe Lords working together could contend with a True God; now, even hundreds cannot.
As for facing the Beasts of the Realm, the Lord of the Universe is not even cannon fodder.
"A little probing is fine. Firefly, you go first and test the World Beast's abilities," said the Divine Eye True Lord, his gaze falling on Firefly True Lord before turning to Blood Orchid Ancestor. "Juehe and I will be the main attack force. If the World Beast tries to escape, or if any other situation arises, Blood Orchid, with your powerful divine body, you'll be responsible for holding it off!"
"Ah, I—" The Firefly Lord's wrinkled face showed some surprise. He was going to lead the charge? That would kill the fireflies.
"It's possible." The Blood Orchid Ancestor nodded, his face, formed from a crimson flower, held a mixture of trepidation and confidence. "My divine body has a diameter of over three hundred billion kilometers, so entangled with the World Beast shouldn't be a problem. Besides, I possess mechanical treasures and soul treasures, so it won't be so easy for it to kill me."
After entering the world of Jin, almost every True God will strive to acquire palace-type and soul-type treasures as a priority, unless they are True Gods without souls.
She was chosen because of her enormous divine body. Although she was very nervous about facing the World Beast, and her strength was only at the top level of the tenth rank, she was still confident that she could hold off the World Beast.
"This is your miniature universe, I'm not in a hurry." The Divine Eye True Lord glanced admiringly at the Blood Orchid Ancestor, but when his gaze fell on the Fireworm True Lord, he became forceful. "Or, we can wait for the Shadow Blade Master and the others to arrive before we talk about it."
Juehe True God's six emerald-green eyes also fell on Firefly True God, and he said, "I still think we'll be more confident if we wait for Shadow Blade Master and the others to arrive."
The Firefly Lord instantly understood that he either had to lead the charge to test the World Beasts, or his small universe origins would be completely devoured.
There is no third option.
Thinking of this, the Firefly Lord's eyes, hidden beneath his wrinkles, sharpened. He was, after all, a true god who had survived for nearly three cycles of reincarnation, and this wasn't the first time he had faced a life-or-death situation!
"Please, Divine Eye True Lord and Juehe True God, save my life at this critical moment!" The gray armor on the Firefly True Lord's body shone brightly. The three supreme treasures he had acquired in the world of Jin over countless epochs were all for saving his life. He had even exchanged his supreme weapon treasures for military merits before finally exchanging them for the most ordinary attack-type mechanical treasure, which at least could improve his strength by one level.
A similarly gray temple flew out, and the Firefly Lord entered it, riding the temple towards the direction of the Beast of Realms.
Behind him, the true gods, including the All-Seeing God, followed.
