Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely Chapter 1990 - 1068: Prestige_3

Once Tao Yu reached a certain threshold of power, he no longer needed to rush about personally, issue directives, or engage in tiresome negotiations; he did not even need to gesture!

The surrounding factions proved quite submissive, voluntarily pledging their loyalty and transitioning into vassals, all while treating this shift as the natural order of things. It never crossed their minds that he was defying any established conventions.

Through the expanse of the Endless Sea, a magnificent flying boat arrived at the Glory Imperial City. The vessel shimmered with a divine luster, and when a figure emerged bathed in sacred light, it signaled the arrival of a True God.

Previously, the Glory Empire, though ruled by an Emperor who held the rank of True God, would still host a grand celebration whenever another True God traveled through their domain.

Yet, this visiting True God was forced to follow the mundane protocol and register at the reception desk, leaving the inhabitants of the Glory Imperial City feeling somewhat surprised and unsettled.

"I never thought life would improve this much."

"It’s unexpected indeed, Ah Mon really has a talent for leadership."

"The real reason is 'The First', though Ah Mon’s ability to align with him is equally impressive."

"Quiet now, I heard rumors that Ah Mon is actually the child of Princess Tarona and 'The First'."

"Is that truly the case?"

"It’s widely circulated, and they say 'The First' has a legendary fondness for beautiful women..."

"For someone of such high status, retaining that level of human desire is quite the novelty."

"I heard that many factions coming to pay their respects have carefully selected the most stunning beauties from various worlds to offer as gifts."

"I was lucky enough to catch a glimpse once; they were truly breathtaking specimens."

"..."

For the average commoner, their casual conversation often drifts into romantic gossip, and these rumors gain traction with incredible speed.

It remains unclear if these stories actually gained widespread circulation or were merely manufactured by specific individuals at the start.

Regardless, the atmosphere is currently abuzz with such chatter.

Following their registration at the front office, the recently arrived Divine Spirit allowed the divine radiance surrounding their form to fade. Led by attendants, they proceeded to the modest courtyard specifically prepared for their stay.

Once the public eyes were elsewhere, a Divine Servant who had accompanied the party expressed his indignation to the lead True God.

"Ming Xin, even if the Glory Empire is at the zenith of its power, isn’t this treatment a bit disrespectful? Forget equality, surely they could have sent a liaison who has ascended the Divine Road to greet us instead of a simple attendant. We are, after all, representing the Father God..."

"There is no point in complaining, as they likely prefer to avoid excessive visits and distractions."

Ming Xin, now stripped of his glowing aura and clad in dark divine armor, waved his hand with an air of complete composure.

Among the ranks of the True Gods, Ming Xin holds a position of strength and prestige. Serving under the Main God of the Wheel of Life, he possesses formidable influence and significant backing.

However, it is precisely because of these connections that he possesses a deeper insight into the nature of 'The First'.

If his target were merely 'The First', the situation might be simpler to handle.

While his own combat power might be slightly lower than his rival, the opponent would likely struggle to kill or capture him in a one-on-one duel.

Recent intelligence from the Wheel of Life, however, suggested something far more dire: several Main Gods of the Purification Holy Hall were reportedly annihilated by the power backing 'The First'.

The demise of a Main God is an epoch-changing event, even in the Outer Sea!

Even as the Dark Immortal King continues to plague the world, the frequency of battles involving Main Gods has surpassed all historical records. Many factions have retreated to the Abyss Great Wall, yet every such incident still sends shockwaves through the realm.

More recently, the frequency of Main God deaths in the Inner Sea has become truly terrifying.

Of those Main Gods from the Purification Holy Hall, ignoring the slightly weaker Purple Cloud Main God, the others were far from being ordinary.

Years ago, the death of a True God in the Inner Sea would have been a major headline, but the standards have shifted dramatically.

Consequently, when word reached the Wheel of Life, Ming Xin was dispatched to deliver congratulatory tributes, validate the unification of the hinterland by 'The First', and voice their support.

While the hinterland may have high resource extraction rates, it remains the crucible of the Current World and holds significant weight. An official statement of support from a Main God accompanied by generous gifts is a clear sign of goodwill.

Having come here with clear intent to demonstrate goodwill, Ming Xin understood that regardless of the lackluster welcome, there was no reason to flaunt his authority; doing so would be counterproductive and might even incite hostility.

"It has been a hundred years since I last traveled these lands. The changes are profound..."

Observing the city from the courtyard with the heightened perspective of a True God, Ming Xin was filled with deep reflection.

Visually, the Glory Imperial City remained largely as he remembered, yet even a superficial glance revealed that the number of Divine Spirits residing within the walls now exceeded ten.

Some were likely fellow visitors, while others could be the mysterious Outer Gods said to be affiliated with 'The First'.

Even outside of special events, the sheer concentration of True Gods currently present is a testament to the city’s immense potential.

"They held trade fairs last time; given this trajectory, future events will likely expand in both scope and importance."

Ming Xin found his interest piqued by the prospect of local trade, as a wider array of participants naturally increases the opportunity to acquire something of value for himself.

"Rest well, and remember to keep your conduct in check. Do not attempt anything reckless here, or I will not hesitate to deal with you ruthlessly."

Ming Xin’s warning echoed clearly in the minds of his subordinates, all of whom immediately bowed to signify their total obedience.
