Chapter 989: Chapter 495: The Threat of the Heavenly Divine (6K)_2
 

Silence reigns supreme.

These Pseudo-Gods no longer dare to question Li Yuan’s terrifying power… they even feel a hint of regret.

If it weren’t for so many Pseudo-Gods gathering together, they wouldn’t be in such a passive situation.

But they can’t be blamed for it.

Who could have anticipated that a Demigod’s Soul Attack would be so horrifying?

The atmosphere grows unbearably tense.

“If you still refuse to agree, then I’ll send you on your way first, and afterward, massacre the countless trillions of the Immortal Ruins Civilization to eliminate all future threats.” Li Yuan spoke slowly: “My patience is running out.”

This was a threat!

Yet, it chilled every Pseudo-God to their core. They were acutely aware that Li Yuan was truly capable of such mass destruction.

“Li… Li Yuan.” Yan Lin Pseudo-God’s heart was filled with despair. Gritting his teeth, he said: “If we were to abandon our civilization directly and head to the Divine Realm… we might also cause the higher authorities to be enraged and have all of us killed.”

“Higher authorities?”

Li Yuan mused: “East Cloud Divine Country, is it? This elementary Divine Kingdom… it was established by the ancestors of your Immortal Ruins Civilization, correct?”

The many Pseudo-Gods felt their hearts tighten. They realized that Li Yuan had already discovered the connection between the Immortal Ruins Civilization and the East Cloud Divine Country.

Within the Divine Realm.

Divine Kingdoms are categorized into elementary, intermediate, and advanced tiers.

Generally, a Divine Kingdom founded by a True God is called an elementary Divine Kingdom, while one established by a Heavenly Divine is considered intermediate.

“Not just the higher-ups of East Cloud Divine Country.” Yan Lin Pseudo-God gritted his teeth: “How about Li Yuan personally negotiating with the higher-ups?”

Yan Lin Pseudo-God was well aware that the ninth Token was not meant for combat.

“Alright.” Li Yuan nodded. He didn’t fear the so-called higher-ups.

This is the Mortal Domain.

Unless it’s a supreme being like a Divine Emperor spoken of in legends, no matter how powerful, they must abide by the rules of the Mortal Domain—even a Divine King is no exception.

“Wait a moment.” Yan Lin Pseudo-God had already crushed the Token.

After a while.

Suddenly—

Buzz~ The void faintly trembled. Li Yuan immediately sensed a consciousness of unfathomable strength—powerful enough to obliterate him at any moment, suffocating in its sheer intensity. It attempted to descend across the endless spacetime… but was swiftly suppressed by an even grander and vast force.

That was the mighty power of the boundless Mortal Domain Origin!

Any external force exceeding the limits would be suppressed.

Eventually.

Hiss~ That terrifying consciousness fully retracted, weakened by ninety-nine percent, leaving but a trace of itself. A large amount of green light gathered, forming a towering phantom.

He stood at a height of a hundred meters, his face seemingly shrouded by mist, indistinct and blurry. He wore a green robe etched with countless intricate Secret Runes—though faint and elusive, they held a mesmerizing allure.

Even Li Yuan could sense a thread of menace.

“A mere phantom, yet the robe itself resembles an abyss. It’s enough to beguile many Demigods.” Li Yuan thought to himself: “If I were to face him directly, even my powerful Soul Will would likely succumb entirely.”

Li Yuan understood.

The consciousness projection descending here was certainly not that of a True God but rather an exceptionally formidable being.

In every regard, he stood far above Li Yuan.

With but a single thought, Li Yuan could be annihilated.

“Greetings, Heavenly Divine.” Yan Lin Pseudo-God immediately bowed respectfully.

“Heavenly Divine?”

“It’s actually a Heavenly Divine?” The other Pseudo-Gods were a bit stunned. They had never expected that their actions would provoke the descent of a Heavenly Divine.

A Heavenly Divine!

It’s said that within the vast Divine Realm, a Heavenly Divine is an Overlord of an entire Star Domain, renowned and awe-inspiring.

Yet, the green-robed phantom ignored them, looking directly at Li Yuan.

“You are Li Yuan?” The green-robed phantom spoke slowly, his voice aloof and commanding.

“May I ask how to address senior?” Li Yuan replied indifferently.

Though he addressed the figure as “senior,” he made no movement whatsoever.

“Listen carefully.” The green-robed phantom gazed down at Li Yuan: “I am called Qing Mo, one of the three Kings of the intermediate Divine Kingdom ‘Moonlight Divine Country,’ and a high-ranking member of the Wandao Divine Court.”

Li Yuan’s pupils slightly contracted.

Qing Mo? According to Ancient Flame True God, the one who killed Gu Ju True God ten thousand years ago was Qing Mo True God.

A King of an intermediate Divine Kingdom? That would be a Heavenly Divine!!

“Qing Mo Heavenly Divine? My respects.” Li Yuan showed no visible change: “I’ve heard that during the Mortal Domain Divine War ten thousand years ago, the Wandao Divine Court’s descended forces were led by Qing Mo True God and swept across all directions. Might that have been senior?”

A name might overlap with others.

Li Yuan naturally wanted confirmation.

“Since you’ve heard of my deeds, you should know my disposition.” The green-robed phantom said coldly: “East Cloud Divine Country is a vassal under my rule, and this Immortal Ruins Civilization is part of my Moonlight Divine Country’s Territory.”

It was him! Li Yuan finally confirmed this.

“Little one, I know of your exceptional talent, yet you are merely a Demigod, and your home civilization is pitifully weak.”

“If you utterly destroy the Immortal Ruins Civilization, you’ll be provoking my Moonlight Divine Country—nay, you’ll be challenging my Wandao Divine Court.” The green-robed phantom slowly stated: “Are you certain you want to be my enemy?”

This was a threat from a Heavenly Divine.

“Qing Mo Heavenly Divine.” Li Yuan replied serenely: “There’s no need to bring up the Wandao Divine Court. The factions within the Divine Realm have long agreed that the countless Territories within the Mortal Domain are governed by strength.”

“Moreover, senior may not be aware—it was the Immortal Ruins Civilization that first invaded my home civilization.” Li Yuan said.

“Such minor skirmishes, involving the deaths of some mortals—that amounts to no more than a trifling matter.” Qing Mo Heavenly Divine’s voice softened slightly: “I understand your concern for your home civilization and your desire to eliminate all potential threats. As such, I extend an invitation for you to join my Wandao Divine Court. What do you say?”

“In doing so, the Immortal Ruins Civilization can become an ally of your homeland entirely.”

“With your talent, as soon as you enter the core of the Divine Court, you’ll swiftly become a Demigod of Myriad Stars. In the future, you may even rival me on equal footing…” Qing Mo Heavenly Divine looked at Li Yuan: “What do you say?”
