Tornado Star Realm.

The entire star realm is composed of tens of thousands of nebulas, with countless planets within each nebula.

They tirelessly circle the center of the Tornado Star Realm, the Storm Nebula spins.

This is the largest nebula in the Tornado Star Realm, occupying fifty percent of the entire star realm’s area. From the depths of the universe, it looks like a large elliptical, glowing flat cotton candy.

Storm Nebula.

On a blue planet numbered seventy-two.

People travel through the vast city, and merchant ships occasionally pierce the sky, bringing with them the sound of whistling winds.

The entire planet displays a sense of prosperity and thriving.

At the center of this planet’s greatest City Lord, is a huge church, its scale akin to an Emperor’s palace, with a dome that is pure black, made of black stone, and two massive clock towers rising to the sky, each ringing out at dawn and dusk—able to echo throughout the entire city.

And in the center of this grand church, four rows of buildings form a spacious square, where stands a huge black stone statue.

She stands holding a sword in her left hand, while her right hand rests on her chest, holding a book.

Her gaze is sharp, seemingly able to cleave through all lightning.

The Great City’s City Lord!

If Baiyu was here, he would immediately recognize that this is the City Lord’s sculpture.

However.

This sculpture has not shattered, its surface is extremely smooth and complete, with no cracks whatsoever.

At this moment.

Beneath the statue.

Two women dressed in white divine robes, with their long hair draping over their shoulders like nuns, are kneeling in silent prayer before the statue.

They are Lilith and Machima.

Two of the City Lord’s Attendants.

During their prayers, the air in front of the statue continuously fluctuates, undulates, as a light gate slowly opens.

Soon after.

Qian Xin and several other attendants struggle to pass through the light gate.

As they pass through the light gate.

It’s as if a thousand knives have sliced into them, leaving deep gouges bleeding profusely and bones visible.

If someone with slightly weaker strength attempted this.

It’s feared that just passing through this light gate would cut them into pieces by this mysterious force.

This process is not lengthy.

Very soon.

Qian Xin, Loloya, and Isabelle appear on the square, with their wounds swiftly writhing and healing.

Once the wounds on their bodies have completely healed.

The leading attendant, dressed in pristine nun attire, Lilith, speaks swiftly: "What happened? What happened to Blue Star? We can’t get in touch with the City Lord!"

She speaks quickly.

Qian Xin stabilizes herself and solemnly says: "The City Lord aimed to seize the authority of the ’True Shadow’ and devour its power, teaming up with ’Scars’ but failed.

Five Evil Gods utilized long-range Divine Descent, simultaneously descending around Blue Star.

I don’t know much about the battle afterward.

But the thin spiritual matter around Blue Star shattered in advance, allowing the power of the Evil Gods to sweep across the land unimpeded.

At the last moment.

The Scar God used His power to open a teleportation gate, forcibly transporting all humans on the planet to an unknown location."

Qian Xin briefly but accurately describes the course of events.

Lilith listens intently.

Finally, she suppresses her inner shock and speaks gravely: "It’s predictable that those five Evil Gods used mental suggestions and various covert methods to mislead the City Lord; otherwise, the City Lord wouldn’t act so hastily.

The trap of five Evil Gods.

Even the True Divine cannot avoid it.

Since even the Scar God has stepped into the trap, it can be seen that these five Evil Gods have plotted for a long time, even at a great cost, choosing to directly intervene with Divine Descent.

After pondering for a moment.

Lilith continues: "The City Lord certainly doesn’t perish, especially when hunting a Divine Spirit. She will inevitably consider the scenario of hunting failure and counter-attacks from the Divine Spirit.

Therefore.

The current City Lord should be slowly recovering.

We only need to wait for her return, and during this time, everyone must restrain themselves, trying to avoid detection by other factions.

Also.

Apart from ’True Shadow,’ which Evil Gods remain?"

Qian Xin thinks back, feeling the chaotic and terrifying power spreading during the divine battle, and speaks solemnly: "Green Mother, Master of Despair, Mirage King, Abyssal Filth."

Lilith nods, "Indeed, these have been coveting the Spirit Realm Worm. Some of Their authority scattered deep within the Spirit Realm, only accessible through the Spirit Realm Worm, while the Spirit Realm Worm grows within Blue Star’s Star Core.

However.

Even if They made the spiritual matter dissipate early, they might not secure control of Blue Star. True Divine without restraints has extremely formidable combat strength while Scar God is recognized as the God of War, God of Conquest."

The others also nod silently.

Among the Seven Divines, Scar God ranks as the most powerful in terms of direct ability, and holds part of the authority over "Gate." That power allowing transporting all people from a planet belongs to "Gate."

This True Divine.

Once claimed the record of slaying an Ancient God.

Moreover.

Without spiritual matter and humans from Blue Star, other True Divines might interfere, making the outcome of the battle uncertain.

These chaotic thoughts flash in Lilith’s mind, she then casts her gaze upon the massive statue on the square.

After sincere prayer.

She stands, scans the vicinity: "Let’s go. Our current issue is survival. Though we’ve conquered this planet, surrounding planets are unfriendly towards us while those from the Tornado Star Realm’s Imperial top brass bear malice against us.

Now we must demonstrate our worth, express goodwill.

However.

We must also make them realize our strength!"

Only with sufficient power can one survive in this dark universe.

This is an immutable law.

...

A month into interstellar voyage.

Baiyu follows Augustine’s fleet, advancing at full speed, the deep and remote starry skies, environment remains almost unchanged, prolonged navigation through such places would surely cause severe mental issues.

During this voyage in the dark starry skies.

Even with the barrier of the Legendary Ship, Baiyu can frequently hear the mutterings and roars from the depths of the cosmos.

These further induce one’s loss of control.

These mutterings and roars of unknown origin progressively edge people towards madness, or at the subconscious level, unknowingly lead them to approach, produce an urge to explore the sources of those sounds or more intently hear them.

The consequence of such actions often results in becoming a monster out of control.

Baiyu sighs, voluntarily employs power to block those polluting whispers.

A massive orange planet, emerges in their field of view with their journey, continuously enlarging.
