Summoning Players into My Game Chapter 800 - 398: The New Exalted One (Part 3)
Previously on Summoning Players into My Game...
Immediately, hundreds of star systems within the Black Mountain Star Domain dispatched envoys to Canglan Star. Some sought collaboration with the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall on Canglan Star, while others desired to join the establishment for protection.
Within the Youhai Star Domain, near a seven-colored star spanning a light-year, an enormous star gate commenced releasing an E6-class alloy spaceship. Upon its emergence, the vessel seemed immobilized, incapable of movement, and a voice boomed,
"This is the imperial capital's territory; unauthorized entry is prohibited!"
The proclamation echoed, causing every Divine Fusion Realm expert aboard the ship to feel as though they were in hell, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.
"Is this the defensive power of the Imperial Capital Star?"
Bokas, a Two-star Divine General originally from Prison Dragon Star, was filled with astonishment as he observed a middle-aged man from the Celestial Spirit Race materialize before the ship.
As an Imperial Divine General who had been expelled from the Divine Woman Star System, he would never have possessed the standing to visit the Imperial Capital Star if not for accompanying the White Dragon King to apprise the capital of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall's situation.
"Lord Heavenly Flame, I am the White Dragon King, bearing urgent news for Lord Serpent of the Abyss." The White Dragon King spoke, his face ashen under the imposing aura of the Celestial Spirit Race middle-aged man.
"You seek Serpent of the Abyss?" The Celestial Spirit Race middle-aged man regarded the White Dragon King and then shook his head, "Serpent of the Abyss is engaged in crucial matters and is unavailable to see anyone."
"Engaged in crucial matters and unavailable?" The White Dragon King was taken aback by this information.
Serving as the imperial overseer and the most powerful exalted one of the Imperial Country, Serpent of the Abyss managed all governmental affairs, aided by other exalted figures.
Indeed, the directive to apprehend the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall originated from Lord Serpent of the Abyss himself.
Now, the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall had gained an additional exalted one and had deployed numerous disciples to seize life planets belonging to the imperial country within the Divine Woman Star System. Despite the presence of many Divine Fusion Realm experts here, after persistent engagements with the martial hall across various stars, the hall's disciples demonstrated escalating strength, making it increasingly difficult to maintain their positions, compelling his retreat from the Divine Woman Star System. Thus, he journeyed here seeking reinforcements, hoping Lord Serpent of the Abyss would dispatch an exalted one to the Divine Woman Star System; otherwise, the mission appeared insurmountable.
Yet, to his utter surprise, even communication with Lord Serpent of the Abyss, the overseer of the imperial country, seemed impossible at this juncture.
The White Dragon King, unwilling to concede, felt as though the exalted Heavenly Flame was toying with him and inquired, "Lord Heavenly Flame, might we await your instruction on the Imperial Capital Star?"
"Negative!" The exalted Heavenly Flame declared, shaking his head, "At this time, no external individuals are permitted entry to the Imperial Capital Star."
"In that case, I shall lodge a report with Her Imperial Highness. As a Six-Star General, I should possess the requisite authority." The White Dragon King stated, "Currently, a new exalted one has emerged within the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall on the far side of the Black Mountain Star Domain. If not addressed with urgency, they will undoubtedly pose a significant threat to the imperial country."
"Are you certain you possess the authority to report to Her Imperial Highness?" The exalted Heavenly Flame nodded, then proceeded to shake his head, "However, Her Imperial Highness sustained injuries while exploring a space rift within Initial Star and has decreed no visitors."
"Her Imperial Highness was injured? How is such a thing feasible!" The White Dragon King was utterly stunned upon hearing this.
As one of the demigods of the imperial country, Her Imperial Highness occupied the apex of the cosmic hierarchy. Even among demigods, her standing was among the very highest. Sustaining an injury was considered nearly impossible, particularly during expeditions into the space rifts within Initial Star.
Initial Star, being the universe's solitary super life planet, contained a chaotic expanse capable of generating diverse cosmic artifacts. Consequently, whenever Divine Fusion Realm experts encountered a bottleneck, many would test their fortune on Initial Star, venturing into that chaotic void.
Periodically, the chaotic expanse might forge connections to enigmatic and uncharted realms, purported to hold the keys to transcending the demigod state.
While these mysterious domains could present peril even to crowned sovereigns—some vanishing without a trace, lost within them—achieving the status of an exalted one typically guaranteed safety, let alone injuring a demigod; it was practically a laughable notion.
However, a demigod sustaining an injury is certainly not a trivial affair; it possesses the potential to sway the destiny of an entire realm.
With this realization dawning upon him, the White Dragon King suddenly grasped the reason behind Lord Serpent of the Abyss's preoccupation and his refusal to entertain visitors.
The injury sustained by Her Imperial Highness could indeed destabilize the entire imperial nation.
"You need not worry excessively," the venerable Heavenly Flame remarked with a smile, observing the White Dragon King's startled countenance. "As a Six-Star General, you will likely soon be privy to another crucial piece of news."
"Another significant update?" The White Dragon King's brow furrowed in bewilderment. He gazed at the smiling Heavenly Flame, questioning why there was still cause for cheer even with Her Imperial Highness injured.
As if perceiving the White Dragon King's inner turmoil, the venerable Heavenly Flame offered a smile and continued, "While Her Imperial Highness was wounded, substantial benefits were also reaped from that enigmatic realm. It is likely that she will soon attain further advancements, perhaps even shattering the boundaries of the Demigod Realm. In stark contrast, other major powers encountered devastating setbacks this time, with six demigods perishing and all others sustaining injuries. Among the fallen demigods were our adversaries from the Holy Hall, the pervasive Starry Sky Commerce, the formidable Titan Race and the Celestial God Race, the illustrious Purple Crystal Divine Country, and the savage Wild Beast Divine Country. The universe stands on the precipice of dramatic transformation. It would be prudent for you to prepare yourself, for not only will we be acting, but undoubtedly, those from the Abyssal Prison and the Eternal Divine Country will also make their moves."
