The emergence of Tao Yu as a newly ascended Divine King sparks widespread shock and realization throughout the Glory Imperial City. Meanwhile, the Seven Great Divine Kings discuss the escalating threat posed by the strengthening Emperor Cang and the aggressive Dark Heavenly Court. As the Divine Kings struggle to contain these growing forces, word of the Initial Divine King's return reaches them, offering a glimmer of hope amidst the crisis.

The Endless Sea is constantly besieged by extreme weather; waves reaching heights of a thousand meters are commonplace, while the occasional flying vessel navigates the treacherous channels, braving the gale and the tides.

Then, suddenly, a swift swoosh echoes through the air.

A magnificent golden bridge stretches across the vast expanse of the Endless Sea!

The All Gods Temple, which previously only manifested near the Abyss Great Wall, appeared directly overhead for every living soul in the Current World.

No matter the location or surroundings, one only needed to cast their gaze upward to behold the majestic All Gods Temple and the radiant golden bridge leading toward it.

With the Human Emperor Sword resting at his hip, Tao Yu, clad in snow-white robes, stepped onto this golden thoroughfare, proceeding toward the All Gods Temple.

The fundamental leverage required to govern the power of many Evil Gods is the Power of Human Dao, which also serves as the virtuous persona Tao Yu projects to the outside world.

Although the absorption of various Evil God energies has rendered his methods less than pristine, for the present moment, he can still maintain a facade of righteousness and nobility.

The bridge spanning the heavens and the newly revealed All Gods Temple are now etched into the hearts of every sentient being.

Projections of the Seven Great Divine Kings manifest in the firmament, with the effigies of various Conceptual Gods looming upon the shadowed facade of the All Gods Temple behind them.

"We offer our congratulations to our friend 'Primordial' for ascending to the rank of Divine King."

"Effective today, the Seven Kings Council shall be restructured into the Eight Kings Council."

"A new Divine King has ascended; let there be celebration across all under heaven."

Every Divine King offered their congratulations simultaneously; at such a zenith of power, holding dominion over their respective realms, they maintain a veneer of decorum even amidst private rivalry, each protecting their own standing.

Acknowledging Tao Yu, their newfound equal as a Divine King, they each performed the proper rites, declaring his arrival to the world!

Ascension to the status of a Divine King cannot be a quiet affair; had circumstances not shifted in the Outer Sea, there undoubtedly would have been elaborate celebrations and complex negotiations regarding power distribution.

Yet, even without formal festivities, every living being in existence at this moment is now acutely aware of Tao Yu’s presence!

In many remote territories, legends of Divine Spirits are rarely discussed or considered important, meaning an immense duration has passed since the last Divine King made their debut!

Among common folk, whose average lifespan reaches only thirty or forty years, countless generations have risen and fallen since that time.

Nevertheless, the contemporary generation is fully aware of Tao Yu’s name!

"I am grateful for the support of all here."

One does not strike a face that bears a smile; although Tao Yu fully intends to purge the corrupt figures hiding within their ranks, even a cornered animal will fight back in desperation. Drawing upon previous calculations regarding the Divine King position, Tao Yu opted to present a non-threatening image for the time being.

With the exact number of compromised individuals inside remaining unclear, he felt fortunate that the Dark Heavenly Court was knocking at the gate, providing Tao Yu with the perfect opening to craft his own narrative...

Tao Yu’s calm and collected response provoked no hostility, nor did any of the veteran Divine Kings attempt to bully the newcomer.

The Heavenly Pillar God King spoke up immediately.

"The timing of the 'Primordial' Divine King's appearance is fortuitous; we have recently encountered a rather difficult conundrum."

The Heavenly Pillar God King’s Divine Sense is exceptionally dense; as his projection appeared, it carried an aura of immense strength, bridging the heavens and the earth, a tangible force radiating from one who treads the path of crushing all laws through raw might.

In terms of sheer confrontational power, he stands as the most formidable of the Seven Great Divine Kings.

"Are you referring to the Dark Heavenly Court? I gathered a small amount of information from several True Gods while traveling here."

"It is indeed the Dark Heavenly Court, and the reality is likely grimmer than you suspect."

Since all involved are beings of immense power, their private council held within the All Gods Temple required no trivial formalities; the discussion remained strictly professional.

"Data regarding the Dark Heavenly Court was originally pulled from the fractured souls of those corrupted Dark Immortal Kings, and extracting it proved to be a significant challenge."

At this juncture, Taichu God King contributed a remark; he was the first to successfully piece together these intelligence fragments from the soul of a Dark Immortal King, uncovering vital insights.

Even the Perfect Technique that Tao Yu employs originated from his efforts.

Years ago, the Radiant Main God met his demise over this very issue and is currently undergoing the long process of resurrection.

In truth, if one aligns the timeline, it is almost certain that the Radiant Main God perished at Tao Yu’s hands.

Regardless, Taichu, who had maintained a cordial relationship with Radiant, chose not to speak further on the matter.

"Initially, we viewed the Dark Heavenly Court with caution and vigilance, but in the Abyss, crises are perpetual phenomena; we have endured countless storms and insurmountable threats over the aeons, so we were not overly alarmed..."

Taichu’s dominion sits closest to the regions where the Dark Immortal King first became active, leading to the most frequent encounters, including previous skirmishes across distances with Emperor Cang that resulted in no clear victor.

Based on the memories of the Dark Immortal King probed by Taichu, Emperor Cang serves as the architect of the Dark Heavenly Court, possessing immense prestige.

Consequently, while Emperor Cang is undeniably terrifying, they did not regard the Dark Heavenly Court as an unshakeable threat, merely an irritating one.

A Divine King-level adversary is troublesome, but their side is certainly not helpless.

If the enemy acts with logic, they will likely avoid direct conflict; if they lack it, they will simply walk into an ambush, ensuring no losses for our side either way.

The most exasperating issue remains those Dark Immortal Kings lurking in the Outer Seas, popping up periodically to perform blood sacrifices, being both numerous and scattered; beyond reinforcing the defenses of one’s own borders, there are few alternatives.

Actively hunting them down across the vast Endless Sea or the Chaotic Void would only invite unnecessary disaster.

"...However, despite that, we have formed a tentative pact to unite the primary factions of the Nephite Realm and several nearby shattered worlds to resist the Dark Heavenly Court and the Dark Immortal Kings; we shall unite to stand and move forward as one."
