Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely Chapter 1994 - 1069: Dark Heavenly Court (3)

This is the greatest possibility they have envisioned, a conclusion that aligns closest to the objective truth.

Before Tao Yu stepped onto the scene, no one could have dreamed that within the brief window of a few years—hardly enough time for a True God to finish a seclusion—a new Divine King would ascend to power overnight.

However, now that Tao Yu has revealed himself, this retrospective conclusion has become something every True God can accept with ease. After all, when it comes to raw processing power and the speed of cognition, Divine Spirits stand far above any ordinary being.

The so-called 'Initial' self is nothing less than a newly awakened Divine King!

"We offer our humble invitation for the 'Initial' Divine King to retake his throne."

The more astute Divine Envoys had already pivoted in their attitude. Those who had spent ages serving the Divine King were utterly convinced of their assessment.

As these words rang out, panic and awe rippled through the entire Glory Imperial City. Even Ming Xin and the other visiting True Gods were momentarily stunned.

A Divine King? The 'Initial' one?

Though the disparity in their power levels was so vast that they could scarcely fathom it, their intuition told them that if the Divine King’s own envoys spoke these words, they had to be the undeniable truth.

"This... all of this..."

"So that is the truth behind it!"

"No wonder his growth was so unnatural..."

Reflecting on these events, the Divine Spirits felt a profound sense of wistfulness. When 'Initial' first appeared, most True Gods regarded him as a mere footnote—a trivial entity caught up in a skirmish with a minor faction like the Nine Heavens Divine Road. At that time, even his status as a 'True God' was heavily debated.

The incident at the Glory Empire forced the True Gods to shift their focus. Yet, seeing how quickly he had moved from that conflict to this grand restoration, they felt the weight of history unfolding right before them.

The Abyss Great Wall remains anchored by the Temple of All Gods, the central point suspended high in the void.

Streams of Divine Light constantly flow in and out of the temple, weaving their way toward different sectors of the immense structure. The space occupied by the Temple of All Gods is unique; it maintains a shifting, mystical distance to every part of the Great Wall. As long as one remains within its projection, the temple feels eternally present at an infinite height, ready to bolster any front line.

Among the lights returning to the wall, many flicker with a dull, unstable aura—the mark of warriors who have clearly suffered grievous wounds.

The projections of the Seven Great Divine Kings hang solemnly within the temple, supported by several Conceptual Gods who occasionally lead sorties into the fray.

"What is the status of the front lines in your sector?" the projections of the Divine Kings asked, sharing intelligence.

"Emperor Cang is terrifyingly powerful. I, alongside the Demon Lord and the Fire Lord of the Nephite Realm, only managed to repel him through a combined effort. He has grown significantly stronger," the Demon Emperor replied, his tone grim.

In their initial clash, Taichu had fought to a standstill. This time, their trap was designed to isolate and cripple him! But the final tally showed they had barely managed to push him back.

"To be pushed to the brink even with the Fire Lord's intervention? Are you still too far from the Nephite Realm's influence?"

"While the world’s power bonus is waning, the Fire Lord remains mighty. Yet, if we face Emperor Cang in a one-on-one duel, we would likely be forced to retreat. Without drawing him deep into a world's projection range, peace remains a distant dream. Their sudden aggression signals a newfound, dangerous confidence."

The air grew heavy as the Divine Kings conferred. Abandoning the Outer Sea was not an option, yet moving away from the protective influence of the Abyss Great Wall sapped the strength of their Conceptual Gods.

The Dark Heavenly Court had utilized waves of fearless Dark Immortal Kings to test the boundaries of their influence, launching savage massacres in the fringes that proved difficult to stop. The sheer number of these Dark Immortal Kings had become a persistent headache for the Divine Kings.

The Fire Lord, a Supreme God Lord of the Nephite Realm who commanded a portion of the World’s Will, possessed transcendence beyond measure. However, even he found his power shackled once he stepped outside his realm’s reach.

"After this latest failure, I doubt any Supreme God Lord from the Nephite Realm will venture out again; they are unwilling to gamble," the God Master of Information projected, his message clear and clinical, like a cascading stream of raw data.

Those who harness the fragments of the World’s Will are inherently selfish. While resisting the Dark Heavenly Court suited their goals, they would not put their own existence at risk twice.

"Must we simply stand by and watch Emperor Cang destroy everything?"

"His current power is such that even a combined strike might not be enough to stop him."

"What if we lure him further into our range and have the Conceptual Gods initiate a final strike?"

Unlike the self-absorbed Lords of the Nephite Realm, the Conceptual Gods were bound to the World’s Will and possessed a supreme sense of duty, willing to sacrifice themselves if the situation demanded it.

The Star Gazer, a projection shimmering like a celestial sea, shared a chilling insight at that moment.

"My observations of the constellations suggest that Emperor Cang has been hunting Abyssal Evil Gods. By consuming them, he descends into madness, yet he also gains terrifying strength."

"So, if this continues, he will only grow more unstoppable, eventually dismantling all our outposts?"

"His success is born of the Evil Gods, but his ruin will be their fault as well. As his madness consumes him, his logic will wither, making him reckless enough to fall into our snare."

"Alas, what could be the source of such maddening strength..."

Even the Seven Great Divine Kings, usually unshakable, felt a rare touch of helplessness. It was at this critical juncture that word arrived of the 'Initial' Divine King’s impending return, causing even these titans of power to fall silent.

"'Initial'..."

"This one is a wildcard indeed."

"Formerly just a mere clone, and now this?"

"We are genuinely intrigued to witness the extent of his evolution. Having an ally of that caliber joining us now... perhaps that is the glimmer of hope we need."
