Rising Undercurrents
Looking at Daniel's expression, Lincoln burst out laughing. "This brings us to another secret about the Chief Sovereigns: Ten Consecutive Wins in the Plane War."
"Ten consecutive wins?" Teluzake chimed in. "I heard the next Plane War will begin in a few million years. Plane Wars only happen once in a very long while. They're a paradise for battle maniacs and a graveyard for the strong. And there have been several especially brutal Plane Wars throughout history, so brutal that some Asuras who experienced them refused to enter the Plane Battlefield again."
"That's right. Plane Wars are exceptionally brutal because they're an important means by which the Overgods reduce the number of powerful beings." Lincoln explained the intricacies at length, leaving everyone astonished.
"Plane Wars take place once every trillion years. The Life Divine Realm is excluded, but the other ten Supreme Planes and Divine Planes take turns fighting. Every Deity-level powerhouse can choose which side to represent in the war. Of course, those who are too weak don't even qualify to participate. Daniel, for instance, couldn't have joined before refining a Sovereign Spark."

"I won't go into the details of the Plane War. It's extremely important to the Chief Sovereigns, because if their plane achieves Ten Consecutive Wins, it's awarded a portion of Willpower, which means a tenfold increase in strength."
"So whenever a Divine Plane or Supreme Plane reaches a crucial match on the verge of Ten Consecutive Wins, the fighting becomes exceptionally fierce. Those are rare slaughterhouses for the strong."
"And since the world came into being, only one plane has ever achieved Ten Consecutive Wins: the Heavenly Realm.
