Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely Chapter 1999 - 1071: The Gathering of Three Emperors

It appeared that a vital defense node in the Endless Outer Sea was on the verge of collapsing, threatening the total destruction of nine formidable Main Gods.

However, a singular sword strike from Tao Yu unexpectedly descended, annihilating the army of the Dark Immortal King and providing a much-needed morale boost to the struggling defenders of the Outer Sea.

Following their rescue, the nine Main Gods did not hesitate to traverse the expanse in search of Tao Yu to convey their collective gratitude.

"We offer our endless thanks, 'Primordial' Majesty! Your benevolence is something we can never truly repay!"

Despite their status as Main Gods, they were acutely aware of the catastrophe they had narrowly escaped. Eight of them, stranded far from their own Divine Countries, had been besieged by a Dark Immortal King’s forces that far outnumbered them, leaving no room for a miracle.

While losing them might not have crippled the overarching stability of the Outer Sea, for the individuals themselves, it was literally the difference between existence and oblivion.

"Remain at your posts and continue your duty."

Tao Yu had already harvested so much from the Evil Gods that the prestige of a few Main Gods was of little concern to him now.

Perhaps this was the natural burden of his rapidly ascending power.

"Hehe, now that you have reached the rank of Divine King, it would hardly be strange for you to desire more capable subordinates, Primordial Majesty. Recruiting a few Main Gods to serve under your banner would be quite standard."

The Demon Emperor, an ally of Tao Yu, chimed in with a raspy laugh echoed through his divine sense.

As the supreme ruler of non-human entities, the Demon Emperor’s true form was a massive, insect-like creature shaped by the Abyss—resembling an Alien Queen, yet vast enough to encompass stars. Currently, however, he projected a humanoid form similar to Tao Yu to facilitate their meeting.

Although his appearance remained somewhat alien, the inherent aura of leadership the Demon Emperor projected inspired an intrinsic sense of trust and reverence among all living things.

His own Subordinate Gods were an eclectic mix, drawn from every non-human sect in the Current World, including various entities converted from Other Worlds.

"There is no rush."

Tao Yu remained detached. While his rescue of the Sky Covering World and Mysterious World had granted him many allies at the True God Level, he currently possessed only Wushi and Fierce Man at the God Level.

This rapid expansion of influence inevitably left certain areas stretched thin.

Yet, at his current level of cultivation, he could exert influence across the Realms simply through the Power of Human Dao, removing any urgent necessity for more lackeys.

"We have just received word from the All Gods Temple; even the Nephite Realm is inquiring about your recent movements. You have become our focal point. This time, our group has the best chance of successfully drawing out our target."

The Demon Emperor exchanged information with Tao Yu briefly.

While the Demon Emperor commanded more resources and channels than Tao Yu, the speed at which the Nephite Realm—a neighboring world—received the news suggested their intelligence network in the Outer Sea was formidable.

Despite his unnerving appearance, in their direct interactions, the Demon Emperor maintained a remarkably dignified and refined demeanor, his words radiating a King’s Way that felt genuinely refreshing.

"Oh? The Nephite Realm is showing such interest in me?"

"Naturally. As an emerging Divine King, your status is transcendent, and you serve as our face in all external matters. Your mastery of Kingship Power is the very force needed to quell this chaos; the Nephilim would surely value your cooperation as well..."

The Demon Emperor sounded somewhat wistful. While his path focused on leading non-human factions, at its core, it was also a pursuit of the King’s Way.

It was precisely for this reason that he could perceive the extraordinary potential buried within Tao Yu’s Power of Human Dao, recognizing its deep, pervasive implications.

It was not merely a simple 'Human Dao'; it appeared 'universal' in nature, potentially compatible even with his own subordinates.

Nevertheless, because their paths were fundamentally distinct, there was no hostility between their doctrines; rather, they could serve to complement one another.

"If the Nephilim want creatures of the Outer Sea to believe in me, and to invoke my name during times of crisis, I see no harm in assisting them. The same applies to the other realms."

Tao Yu spoke with calm indifference.

He had already subsumed the Evil Gods into his own interpretation of 'Human Dao'; if the Nephilim’s subjects wished to worship him, it would only be a matter of pure convenience.

"Haha, if that is your stance, they will likely have to reconsider their position. Currently, our standard trade remains fluid, but proselytization is still strictly confined to a few exchange students..."

Occasionally, emissaries from the Current World head to the Nephite Realm to recruit promising talent, just as teams from the Nephite Realm visit their domain seeking compatible subjects.

Whether these visits act as conduits for infiltration depends entirely on the proficiency of each side.

However, regarding official preaching and religious expansion, both sides maintained a state of extreme vigilance.

Even if the abilities Tao Yu displayed could offer immense tactical advantages, they would likely hold their ground unless the situation reached a breaking point.

"That is their problem, not mine."

Tao Yu was certainly in no hurry. At this moment, his gaze swept over the Endless Sea, as if observing the entire cosmos from an infinite height.

The shattered World Fragments drifting in the tides and the myriad worlds buried deep beneath the surface were all reflected clearly within his divine sense.

Even the most obscured pockets within the smallest World Fragments could not escape his scrutiny.

"There is no sign of other Dark Immortal Kings here; it is unlikely we will find what we seek in this territory. Let us push further outward."

Tao Yu stated levelly.

Eight Divine Kings were now split into pairs, actively scouring the Dark Heavenly Court from four different vectors. Their primary objective remained the excision of any hidden Dark Immortal Kings, with the ultimate intent of forcing Emperor Cang into the light once more.
