Lu Yin was surprised. There were other Divine Palaces?
Could it be that everywhere beyond the Cubic Distance he came from was part of a Divine Palace?
Were the Spokespersons for Main Dao Power all part of Divine Palaces, too?
But even if that was the case, why did the Divine Palaces kill one another?
He suddenly thought of how the Fishing Civilization kept fishing to wipe out Universe Civilizations. Whenever civilizations encountered one another, war was simply a rule of the universe.
Perhaps this was an alternative kind of rule.
It skipped the stages of discovering civilizations and fishing civilizations, binding them instead beneath the Divine Palaces of the Main Dao Power, where they slaughtered one another to deplete their strength.
Could that be it?
Lu Yin was only guessing.
Compared to the fishing or chance discoveries of civilizations in the Cubic Distance he had once inhabited, the way civilizations here were discovered, enlightened, and then destroyed with purpose was more orderly—and more ruthless.
It was as if the fog of war had been swept away, leaving every enemy visible to the others. Whoever they wanted destroyed could be destroyed.
The Cubic Distance he had once inhabited, by contrast, remained shrouded beneath the Dark Starry Sky.
He continued rolling the die. He couldn't rely on guesses for everything.
The more Return Realm Battle Gods he merged with, the more he learned.
A Battle God lucky enough might learn a single secret. With so many Battle Gods, Lu Yin had learned plenty of secrets.
For instance, which of the thirteen Divine Envoys were at odds, and who had schemed against whom.
For instance, where the ruler of a certain Divine Palace had once appeared.
For instance, that the Divine Palace contained thousands of tributaries of the River of Time.
