The shock lingering in Qiangu Qingfeng's mind refused to fade for a long time.
Until Yu Muchen, beside him, said, "Senior Purgatory."
"That one on the battlefield—is he really Di Tian's true body?"
Before Di Tian had broken through to a million years, he had only been able to block the divine sense probes of god-rank experts; he could not have blocked the divine sense of True God-rank experts.
But now Di Tian had already broken through to a million years, and his spiritual sense had evolved into divine sense, so naturally he could block the divine sense of True God-rank experts.
As a result, even Yu Muchen did not dare say for certain whether the younger version of Di Tian on the battlefield was his true body.
He could only ask Qiangu Qingfeng for guidance.
"It is not his true body." Qiangu Qingfeng shook his head decisively, super-god-rank divine sense flowing through his decayed body.
"It is a body recreated through bodily essence. Twenty thousand years ago, he could already do this through his own True Dragon Reverse Scale."
"Di Tian's original body is still in the state of transforming and recultivating. His million years of accumulated cultivation is far too deep, so this step of transformation and recultivation should take a very long time."
"Then we..." Yu Muchen tried to ask half a sentence.
But Qiangu Qingfeng cut him off with a shout:
"Put away that terrifying idea of yours!"
"The Hundred-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus can help Di Tian seal his origin because Di Tian wants his origin to be sealed. If he did not want that, how could a hundred-thousand-year heavenly treasure that cannot even develop intelligence possibly seal Di Tian's origin?"
"He can abandon his transformation and recultivation at any time and recreate his million-year peak combat strength."
"Having any thoughts you should not have about Di Tian now will only drag the entire Federation to the brink of destruction from troubles within and without."
"Huh?" Yu Muchen was shocked. He had not expected the Purgatory True God to rate Di Tian so highly. "Could it be that even you are not confident you can take Di Tian down?"
After a moment of silence, Qiangu Qingfeng replied, "Yes."
"Over the past ten thousand years, I have dealt with Di Tian several times and discovered that his spiritual sense—now it should be called divine sense—is extremely special."
"It can render him immune to spiritual attacks."
"That more or less seals away my strongest spiritual combat ability."
Qiangu Qingfeng had only mentioned the first point, not the second.
He could not fight at full strength now.
After ten thousand years of wear and tear, his body had long since decayed.
Once he fought with all his strength, his body would spiral beyond control toward extinction, and he would become an undead being possessing super-god-rank spiritual power.
That was something he was unwilling to accept.
Even in the battle not long ago when they had hunted down the Tianlong Seat, he had only assisted from the side.
The conversation between the two True Gods was transmitted word for word through the earpiece to the council.
The Federal Council's opinions were finally unified.
Or rather, Di Tian's steadily climbing combat strength in recent days had forced the Federal Council to unify its stance.
Targeting Di Tian was no longer possible.
The Federal Council, which had originally split into three factions, saw the two factions of "seize Di Tian's soul beast embryo" and "watch Di Tian perish" gather together into the third faction: "take Di Tian in as a dog."
The Federal Council's carefully discussed decision came through the earpiece:
"Very well."
"We will also send people to join the newly established Spirit Branch and compete with Shrek and the Tang Sect."
"Hasn't the Yuanen family produced a young genius called 'Yuanen Guangjun'?"
"An innate full soul power unique martial soul, 'Titan Dragon,' possessing both true dragon bloodline and titan bloodline. He is favored by the heavens."
"He has a dragon bloodline that can draw him close to Di Tian, and he also has a bloodline connection to the divine beast Er Ming."
"It can be said that he is the first to benefit by being close to the source."
"Apart from Yuanen Guangjun, we will send some more talented young girls as well and rely on numbers to win."
"The talented young girls from Shrek and the Tang Sect may be of higher quality, but in terms of numbers, they absolutely cannot compare to the Federation."
"An existence who will definitely cultivate to the peak of the True God rank, or even become invincible among True Gods, absolutely cannot be allowed to grow close to Shrek and the Tang Sect. Di Tian's future must become the glory of the Federation."
Of course.
Making Di Tian the glory of the Federation was one thing.
They clearly did not have the same arrogant confidence as Shrek and the Tang Sect. Shrek and the Tang Sect possessed rich experience in taking transformed soul beasts in as dogs, along with a massive number of successful examples, while the Federation did not.
So.
They prepared a backup plan.
If Di Tian truly fell to that great terror hidden in the unseen, and really could be taken in as a dog, then so be it.
If that failed.
When Di Tian underwent his godhood tribulation again, the Federation could still deal with him.
This was the only chance.
During the godhood tribulation, the lightning tribulation followed like a shadow, as if it had GPS tracking installed. Di Tian would not be able to run around.
His life essence would also ascend during the godhood tribulation, and Di Tian would no longer be able to transform back into the body of a million-year soul beast.
It was the only chance to restrict Di Tian.
It was also an excellent chance.
At that thought, the Federation stopped worrying so much.
As long as they kept a close eye on Di Tian's movements, all they had to do was go all out to bring him under their command.
Back where they were.
Qiangu Qingfeng and Yu Muchen likewise supported this plan.
"Let's go." Qiangu Qingfeng took one step forward and entered Elf Planet.
They did not immediately enter the Soul Beast Clan's territory. Instead, they first entered the human territory located on Elf Planet.
The enemies interfering with Elf Planet's near-orbit satellites also needed to be cleared out, which would serve perfectly as their excuse for arriving a little late.
A spiritual master skilled in hacking, and an ultimate powerhouse.
Of course.
In Qiangu Qingfeng's eyes, they were no different from ordinary people without soul power.
Easily handled.
Their figures shifted again, and the two true gods arrived at the battlefield on the forest's border.
The massive war had already entered its final stage.
Tens of millions of fire dragons fell like meteors from the heavens, accurately striking every invading interstellar pirate.
The god-level powerhouse who had been embedded into the battleship deck earlier was also given special attention by the descending fire dragons.
Already badly wounded, his life was worn away bit by bit, and he fell completely.
The other god-level powerhouse, the "City Lord of Sin," was not having an easy time either.
Relying on the divine artifact "Treasure Mirror of Fortune," he could barely evade the fire dragons' attacks from above.
But he still had to face a god-level powerhouse.
The Elf Queen was already no weaker than him, and the killing power of the divine artifact "Elf King Bow" was even stronger than his by a margin.
He could not escape even if he wanted to.
Especially when he saw Di Tian appear on the battlefield, it meant City Lord Shen Yin's plan to steal the soul beast embryos had completely collapsed.
That made him even more panicked.
With such a state of mind, openings naturally revealed themselves.
A fleeting chance to defeat the enemy.
The Elf Queen seized it!
The voice of an elf rang out like a clear spring.
"Heavenly Execution!"
Divine power, spiritual power, and the bloodline power of the elven royal family—the battle method that fused all three into one.
A divine skill she had created herself.
Back when she had still been an ultimate powerhouse, Di Tian had evaluated it as vaguely possessing thirty percent of a god-level attack's power.
Now that she had advanced to godhood, the battle method that fused the three powers into one was naturally even stronger.
Seizing the instant when the City Lord of Sin panicked and revealed an opening, the Elf Queen stepped on an arrow and retreated, then immediately drew her bow and nocked an arrow.
That arrow was like a collapsed star absorbing everything around it, drawing in its master's divine power, spiritual power, and the bloodline power of the elven royal family.
It shot out in a flash.
"Break—"
With this one arrow, its point pierced all before it!
The sharp arrow tore through the sky and directly pierced the City Lord of Sin's body, blasting apart his heart as it gave its final violent beat.
A blood-red spider lily of life bloomed high in the sky.
The divine battle ended, and three gods had fallen.
