Deep within the Great Void, stars revolved, gods flickered in and out of sight, and everything operated in perfect order. They knew nothing of what was happening on Soaring Cloud Continent.
At this moment, within the inner space of the Stars Paying Homage to the Pole Star Diagram, only one person had turned his gaze toward Soaring Cloud Continent.
"It has begun!"
Gazing into the distance at Soaring Cloud Continent and ignoring the barrier of space, Divine Lord Qiyuan seemed to see everything clearly. Yet there was neither shock nor fury on his face, only calmness, as though he had expected this all along.
"Do you think he will come?"
Looking up at the heavens, Divine Lord Qiyuan casually asked a question.
At that moment, reality and illusion inverted, and a hazy will appeared within North Star Palace.
"He will. I can sense his greed for the Spirit-Void Realm, for divine artifacts, and for the True God's legacy. Most crucially, he seems to have underestimated you too much..."
The voice drifted vaguely, neither male nor female, as the hazy will gave its answer.
Divine Lord Qiyuan smiled at those words. Being underestimated was good. Only by being underestimated could he gain the greatest benefit at the smallest cost. The only pity was that after this, no one in this world would likely underestimate him again.
"If all goes smoothly, I hope you will honor your promise."
With a meaningful remark, Divine Lord Qiyuan turned around.
Hearing this, the hazy will met Divine Lord Qiyuan's gaze with utter composure.
"Of course. After all, you already possess such strength."
Leaving behind those words, the hazy will dispersed directly.
Watching this scene, Divine Lord Qiyuan's gaze deepened.
"Strength. Everything comes down to strength. In this world, strength is the foundation that determines everything."
