The Era of Gods-Chapter 711: Reaction of the Main World

All were powerful divine forces, and senior ones at that, controlling equally formidable godhoods.

The Sun and Light, Storm and Lightning, Wisdom and Knowledge, Slaughter and Death, Order and Earth, Moon and Life.

"Well, this is a formidable divine system with its most common and powerful godhoods all accounted for!"

The lowest god level being Level 16, while the highest was Level 18, just one level short of the Super Divine Power at Level 19.

Moreover, they were all true gods within the divine realm system. After having been conquered by the Emperor of Myriad Forms, and after completing a series of arduous tasks similar to declarations of allegiance, they had all become sons of the divine realm, with their primary races being their clan.

This was an immediate source of combat strength that could be utilized. The Truth Divine System had just been established, and with their presence alone, they could leap to become one of the major forces of the main world.

They definitely couldn’t compare to the great war zones or the super academies, nor even to some of the better-ranked advanced colleges, but they had tremendous potential, a bright future ahead of them... Although, Lin Xiao hadn’t thought of going through the trouble of developing independently.

The Truth Divine System was already established, but he had no intention of breaking away from the Fifth War Zone to create his own force.

That would be too much trouble and too difficult.

The foundation may be good, but establishing a top-tier major force isn’t as easy as one might imagine. There were not only the tasks of recruiting and conquering different domains but also the competition and suppression from peers. Moreover, as the force grew to a certain extent, there would be the responsibility of guarding the main world, along with facing the grand forces of other divine realm civilizations. The glory came with an extraordinary amount of pressure.

Lin Xiao had no inclination to go to such lengths; he preferred to remain as before, affiliated with the Fifth War Zone, becoming one of its allied forces.

This scenario was quite common; whether it was the battle group of Shadow Wind or the divine system of Phoenix, these were all forces they had strived hard to manage, and all of them were affiliated with a superpower.

In every major war zone, every powerful divine power general had their own exclusive force, and nearly every battle group or division was a small force unto itself, with the war zone being a collective of forces.

How strong each superpower leader’s control over their forces was entirely dependent on the leader’s personal charisma and strength.

Generally speaking, the leaders of the great superpowers were quite dominant and had enough strength to keep the different factions within their forces in check. Those who couldn’t had long since been overthrown.

Given the power that Lin Xiao now controlled, he stroked his chin and muttered to himself:

"I should at least aim for the rank of admiral!"

In the main world, within the office of the commander-in-chief of Yan Huang’s Super War Fortress Number Five, the door was pushed open without warning. Commander Xie Tianyan, who was reviewing documents, looked up to see his daughter entering with joy and his secretary with a helpless expression. He waved his hand to signal the secretary to leave and said warmly:

"It seems like my daughter has some good news today that’s making her so happy. Share it with dad, will you?"

Xie Yufei was indeed in a very good mood. She sat down at the office desk, leaned on the edge and said with a beaming smile:

"Daddy, I have some good news to tell you."

While continuing to review the documents, Xie Tianyan nodded with a smile:

"Mhm, I’m listening. Let’s hear it!"

"Lin Xiao is back!"

Xie Tianyan paused for a moment, not looking up from his document, his gaze turning complex – annoyed yet with a hint of joy. Seconds later, he asked in a grave tone:

"Where is that rascal now?"

"At the Myriad Images God Temple!"

He swiftly looked up, the annoyance in his eyes gone, replaced by joy. He slapped a purple button on the table and said in a deep voice:

"Notify everyone, put the fortress on Level 3 emergency alert!"

Then he pointed in the air several times, and soon enough, more than a dozen beams of white light descended from the sky, transforming into more than a dozen individuals, some with gold stars on their shoulders, others in plain clothes. One of them was even bare-chested, revealing tattoos that emitted faint distortions. Without exception, they all exuded powerful auras.

The bare-chested middle-aged man was instantly garbed in military attire thanks to a flash of white light. He said to Xie Tianyan:

"What’s so urgent that you had to summon us? I was on holiday!"

The other senior officials of the fortress, although silent, showed curiosity in their eyes as well.

Xie Tianyan didn’t keep them in suspense and straightforwardly announced:

"Major General Lin Xiao has returned from the Wizard World and is now at the Myriad Images God Temple."

The crowd was briefly startled, but soon expressions of joy appeared on their faces:

"Congratulations are in order!"

Lei Xuanji, who was on good terms with Lin Xiao, laughed heartily:

"I’ve always thought Major General Lin Xiao was quite exceptional, and my judgment has indeed been correct," said Xie Tianyan. "His return from the Wizard World signifies that he has defeated two competitors and has now inherited the legacy left by His Majesty the Emperor of All Phenomena..."

The voice trailed off and soon there was silence.

At that moment, everyone had a singular thought in their hearts: a mix of envy and jealousy.

The Myriad Images God System was once a superpower stronger than even the Fifth War Zone. Even now, with its power dispersed like smoke and clouds, a camel, no matter how thin, is still bigger than a horse. The remnants of the inheritance they left behind are still incredibly covetable.

In the tens of thousands of years since the decline of the Myriad Images God System, countless powers of the Main World have coveted the Myriad Images God Temple. But because the Divine Emperor hadn’t completely perished, no one dared to forcibly take it. After the Emperor’s fall, there was an optimal window of opportunity, yet because the manner in which the Emperor chose his successor gained the approval of Gaia’s primary consciousness, no faction within the Main World dared to make a move.

Honestly, of the three super-elite inheritors who had received the Divine Treasure of Myriad, they had little faith in Lin Xiao. Or rather, they recognized Lin Xiao’s potential, but he had grown for such a short time that his strength couldn’t compare to the other two. In their previous casual conversations, they hadn’t been optimistic about his chances of successfully inheriting the legacy.

And yet, the outcome had completely defied their expectations. The first to return alive was the one they deemed least likely to succeed.

If one could argue that merely coming back first didn’t guarantee victory, that perhaps he had fled ahead of time, the fact that he went straight to the Myriad Images God Temple upon return meant there was almost a certainty that he was the final victor.

After just a few minutes of discussion, the projections all dissipated, and a military order was issued; a Super Void Battleship stationed at the fortress began to activate.

Xie Tianyan glanced at his daughter full of anticipation and said with a shake of his head,

"If you want to come, then come."

Xie Yufei followed, hands behind her back, and asked with a grin,

"Comrade Tianyan, what do you think of your daughter’s judgment now?"

Xie Tianyan gave her a side glance and snorted without a word.

She looked pleased with herself, her heart delighting in her foresight, though her mind had already soared across the void, eager to see her beloved.

Similar developments occurred within different factions. The distinction was that most other top powers only sent envoys, but a few major forces ostentatiously dispatched a large number of powerful beings.

When the first Large Void Warship, bearing the flag of the Eighth Combat Zone, entered the Myriad Manifestation Crystal Wall System and applied to dock at the Myriad Images God Temple, Lin Xiao knew that those who were bound to arrive would indeed come.

Inside the Myriad Images God Temple, the teachers accompanying students from various colleges who were staying within suddenly heard a voice at their ears:

"The Truth Temple will soon be reactivated. Please depart for now and enter again later!"

A gentle force then teleported them all out of the temple.

The gods, together with their ships, were thrown out of the temple, exchanging looks of confusion, unsure of what had transpired.

But they quickly noticed the distant grand temple beginning to shine. Waves of invisible distortion radiated from the temple. Divine corpses and fragments drifting outside the temple were shattered into nothingness as they were swept by the light waves, and a vast expanse of the void outside became clear and bright.

Simultaneously, the immense interior of the temple was also rejuvenated by the light waves. The front hall of the grand temple—the vast space where the students, college teachers, and their Void Ships were berthed—was rapidly expanding. The interior layout began to shift according to Lin Xiao’s will. A massive throne enveloped by divine light slowly rose in the central location. Lin Xiao sat upon the throne, surrounded by divine aura, with billions of stars suspended above his head, and a raging Chaos Fireball at his back, emitting heart-throbbing fluctuations.

As the throne gradually ascended, Lin Xiao’s divine figure grew larger. He soon transformed into a Golden Titan Giant God, hundreds of kilometers high, seated atop the throne, exuding a terrifying divine majesty.

The space within the temple expanded accordingly. Pillars tens of kilometers in diameter and tens of thousands of kilometers tall pierced the dome, and slabs of crystal each measuring a hundred kilometers in length and width spread out like continents, one after another, reaching into the distance.

This part of the temple alone was fifty thousand kilometers in length, width, and height—large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of true gods at the same time.

Around him sat Apobs and five other True God guardians of the Truth God System, three on each side. Their thrones were slightly lower than Lin Xiao’s, and their revealed true bodies were one level smaller, clearly delineating their ranks.

Now freed from the title of Tomb Guardians, they no longer needed black robes and revealed their true forms.

The sun and God of Light, Apobs, had a sun draped over his head, radiating endless light.

The storm and Lightning God, Boris, was covered by infinite storms and lightning, his gestures summoning thunder and lightning.

The God of Wisdom and Knowledge, Hermes, wore a circlet of wisdom on his head and held the book of knowledge in his hand.

The God of Slaughter and Death, Nemesis, was enveloped in a golden-red divine power, with a scale of death behind his head and a blade of slaughter in hand.

The God of Order and Earth, Thanatos, held a hammer of order in one hand and a shield of earth in the other.

The moon and Life Goddess, Hermia, was covered with silvery moonlight. A full moon with infinite divine light shone behind her head, within which a tree symbolizing life grew.

When the teachers accompanying the students from various colleges re-entered the Truth Temple, what they beheld were these seven mighty true gods, radiating overwhelming divine might. Among the few hundred true gods and over a thousand demigods, the strongest possessed only Weak Divine Power. How could they stand against the dignity of seven Gods with Powerful Divine Power? They knelt involuntarily, Lin Xiao’s godly name emerging naturally in their minds, and their mouths unanimously chanted:

"God of Truth and Creator!"

When the delegation of the Eighth War Zone entered the Truth Temple, this was the scene that greeted them.
