Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely Chapter 1992 - 1069: Dark Heavenly Court

"Oh? Their reflex is quite swift... The Divine King truly lives up to his reputation."

Drifting within the turbulent void just beyond the borders of the True World, Tao Yu was busy consolidating his internal reserves while processing the feedback emanating from the Current World.

By leveraging his personal rank to lure out the Divine King's projection for a spar, he had confirmed they could still track him. This suggested the group possessed capabilities slightly exceeding those of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, particularly regarding perception, which seemed on par with the techniques utilized in the True Realm.

"After all, those who forge the foundational laws of the abyss and the Main Gods within are essentially immortal—the Divine King is certainly no pushover."

In the vast expanse of the outer sea surrounding the Current World, maintaining the Divine King as a primary deterrent was essential. If it weren't for that, the World Will—no matter how strictly it adhered to its protocols—would never allow the Divine King such latitude.

Clearly, the World Will found these figures necessary for certain objectives.

"During the genesis of the Current World, perhaps tapping into nearby worlds for nourishment would have sufficed, much like the True Realm. However, as the Current World’s foundation broadens, the Abyss Great Wall continues to stretch, and the abyssal erosion grows more severe—some form of external aid is now mandatory."

Furthermore, if this cycle continues indefinitely, they will inevitably face a crisis where they can no longer keep up with the attrition. At that point, they might be forced to resort to extreme, all-out warfare just to survive until the bitter end.

"In truth, even now, we are essentially sustaining ourselves through constant conflict; it is merely a more disciplined, controlled approach to ensure longevity."

The Current World now operates on a self-contained system, possessing a rigid hierarchy of rules that spans from the summit to the depths, ensuring it remains difficult to dismantle.

The Yuan Force mining paradigm ensures every inhabitant of the Current World serves a purpose, making population density a critical factor.

This framework maximizes reproductive efficiency while minimizing resource consumption.

"It is wise to be well-prepared here; there is no harm in scouting the terrain."

Tao Yu surveyed the dams he had erected throughout the periphery of the True Realm, a sense of satisfaction washing over him.

Once his true form enters the True Realm, he will feel as though he holds the ultimate trump card close to his chest.

Backed by this power, he would dare to speak with absolute authority, even while confronting two Dao Fruits.

"I am eager to discover exactly who—or what—is lurking behind the Purification Holy Hall."

With a deliberate snap of his fingers, Tao Yu shattered the chaotic void standing before him.

Within the Abyss, where direction, space, time, and causality are all twisted into a chaotic web, even a Divine Spirit must rely on the anchor of their home realm to avoid becoming hopelessly lost.

Previously, Tao Yu’s link to the Current World’s anchor point would fluctuate erratically due to the shifting nature of the Abyss, forcing him to constantly recalibrate his trajectory.

However, now that the Sixth Secret Realm has been anchored, Tao Yu’s status—leveled up significantly within the Abyss—has gifted him a high-dimensional perspective.

Surveying the void as if from a higher plane, he focused his influence on the anchor point within the Current World, instantly piercing the intermediate void to carve out a direct passage.

The chaotic shifts surrounding the gateway no longer posed any threat to his stability.

Beyond just the Current World, the Earth Reincarnation Seal now acted as a secondary Dao Mark, granting him the ability to manifest directly upon the Earth-converted world.

"The changes are substantial; I only hope the World Will still recognizes me..."

Sensing the heightened vigilance radiating from the other side of the gateway, Tao Yu offered a gentle chuckle before stepping forward.

Within the Glory Imperial City, the arrival of a special representative from the Seven Great Divine Kings was nothing short of a historic occasion.

A brief explanation provided by two elderly True Gods clarified everything: a new Divine King had ascended, and this figure shared a connection with 'The First' Highness.

"A Divine King! That is a status so far beyond our reach!"

"And he is standing right here among us..."

"It is simply incomprehensible..."

To everyone here, the Divine King remains the absolute overlord of the Current World.

Even though the Purification Holy Hall had committed such blatant outrages, and despite the suspicion that a Divine King might be pulling the strings behind the scenes, no one dared to initiate a formal investigation. Even the World Will refrained from dispatching an Oracle through a Conceptual God.

Without concrete proof, no one in their right mind would openly confront a Divine King, even if they harbored doubts.

Perhaps even if the culprits are unmasked, the governing powers would prefer to suppress the dispute until the entire situation reaches a breaking point.

That illustrates the sheer gravity of a Divine King’s standing.

The aged True God, Ming Xin, took the opportunity to address his subordinates who had gathered to pay their respects.

"Most of you spend your time operating within the Inner Sea, so you fail to grasp the true authority wielded by a Divine King. In the Inner Sea, the influence of the World Will remains strong; Conceptual Gods enforce its decrees, and even the Seven Gods Council must bow to the Oracle. We generally operate under those specific constraints."

As he spoke, a flicker of profound complexity and weariness crossed Ming Xin’s face.

"But within the Outer Sea, His Majesty the Divine King possesses near-absolute authority. The World Will does not interfere there; the Outer Sea follows its own laws while the Inner Sea remains a rigid environment. Once you reach my level of cultivation, the distinction will become crystal clear."

Ming Xin made no attempt to hide his words, and because many experts were within earshot, his revelation sent shockwaves through the hearts of every listener.

"Lord Ming Xin, the activities of the Dark Immortal King have grown increasingly aggressive, and the influence in the Outer Sea seems to be receding, is that not so? And what of rumors regarding the Dark Heavenly Court?"

Some dared to inquire further. Intelligence regarding the Dark Immortal King trickled back intermittently, yet information concerning the Outer Sea remained frustratingly scattered.

Without personal experience to bind these facts together, one could only piece together a rough outline from a collection of hearsay and fragmented reports.
