Under the watchful eyes of the world, the Eternally Sealed Dragon Realm, that is, the enormous purple-gold True Dragon statue, slowly sank to the bottom of the River of Space-Time of the Astral Realm.
The surging river waters formed a natural protective barrier, allowing the Lord of Time to successfully devour the True Dragon Clan.
Everyone who witnessed this scene felt a deep chill creep into their hearts.
The Lord of Time sacrificed his entire race, all for His own advancement.
Such ruthless and decisive temperament is simply terrifying.
To extend this further and more broadly, what are the beings of the Astral Realm to those high and mighty Eternal?
If they don't even care about their own people, why would they care about other races or powers?
Just by thinking about it, you know it's impossible.
Many people couldn't help but think that the chaos of the Third Age of the Astral Realm might be even more terrifying than that of the previous two ages.
In the dim light, they seemed to see the future: a scene of a building collapsing and countless lives falling in a bloodbath.
Is the once glorious Third Age about to come to an end?
Nobody knows what the future holds.
The future of the Astral Realm suddenly became uncertain.
The once clear and bright path was obscured by blood and fire.
at the same time.
While an unprecedented melee was raging in the Abyss.
Within the Astral Realm, on the Flame Frost Continent, second only to the three super-dimensional universes, turmoil is once again brewing.
Another conspiracy, brewing for years, is about to enter its final settlement phase.
Underworld.
The core area of Undying Civilization.
Palaces with a distinctly Undead Race style stand side by side, and increasingly powerful Undead Race roam the streets, bringing a lifestyle distinct from that of the living.
Inside the royal palace, the Lord of the Undead and the Ancestor of Knights sat facing each other.
A screen of light appeared before the two of them.
The screen displayed the battle scene in the Bottomless Abyss.
The Lord of the Undead's expression turned solemn as he stared intently at the Goddess of Fate, saying, "The Goddess of Fate's strength has actually reached this level. She's probably not far from the Eternity Realm, is she?"
"Hmm." The Ancestor of Knights nodded slightly, and beneath his mask, a storm seemed to be brewing within his dark pupils.
"Even though the Sovereign of Fate is extremely compatible with the Goddess of Fate, being able to contend with the Ruler of the Abyss, who resides in the Abyss and is empowered by the Abyss Will of the abyss, is far stronger than the two of us. It seems she is truly about to take the final step on the Great Dao of Fate."
"Countless times, she has secretly stirred up trouble, causing the Astral Realm planes to descend from peace into turmoil. In this process, the Goddess of Fate has accumulated an immeasurable amount of Fate's potential energy. Once she begins her ascension, it will likely be unstoppable!!"
We must take action!
The Ancestor of Knights suddenly stood up, his body radiating an intense aura.
The Lord of the Undead looked at him in surprise, then shook his head helplessly. "Do you think I don't want to destroy Augustus? The problem is, the neutral forces Lord of Ice Origin are afraid that my Undying Civilization will unify the Flame Frost Continent, which is why they've sided with the Knight Empire."
"When they join forces with Augustus, their overall combat strength is certainly not as good as ours, but it's not far off."
"The situation in the Astral Realm is currently unclear, and it's really hard to say what the future holds. If we really fight them to the death, it's uncertain who will ultimately benefit the most."
The Lord of the Undead is very cautious and doesn't like to take risks.
This was especially true after witnessing the brutal Abyss in the abyss.
He didn't want to work so hard until the very end only to have someone else steal his victory.
Although the Flame Frost Continent is a relatively closed geographical unit, and powerful outsiders cannot easily enter or leave, there are always exceptions.
It's better to be safe than sorry.
Unless there is absolute certainty, the Lord of the Undead really doesn't want to take the risk.
The Ancestor of Knights quickly realized this, his eyes flickering slightly, and said, "Don't worry, I'm confident I can incapacitate Augustus in a short time."
"Oh? What method? Why didn't you use it in the last battle?" The Lord of the Undead frowned, his tone tinged with displeasure.
The Ancestor of Knights didn't care about any of that. He sighed and said, "Do you think I didn't want to? The price is just too high. After using this move, I estimate that about a third of the Great Dao of Knights will collapse. If I weren't afraid that Augustus advance further, I wouldn't have used this move."
"What?! One-third of the Great Dao of Knights has collapsed?!" Even the Lord of the Undead was shocked by the words of the Ancestor of Knights; the price was indeed enormous.
If one is not careful, the Ancestor of Knights' painstaking plans may be in vain.
Paying such a high price just to suppress Augustus?
Perhaps it was Augustus's talent and combat prowess that truly put immense pressure on the Ancestor of Knights.
In addition, the unpredictable and volatile situation in the Astral Realm should also play a role.
This made the old man unwilling to drag things out any longer.
Delay may lead to unforeseen changes.
After all, strictly speaking, now is actually a good time.
Eternity existence is mostly constrained by various things.
Everyone except the Mother of the Stars and the Lord of Nightmares made an appearance.
The Mother of the Stars is known for her indifference and hasn't made a move in many years.
As for the Lord of Nightmares, his mind is almost entirely focused on the Fantasy Dimension, making it unlikely that he would interfere with them.
Without the Eternity constraint, these Supreme God and top-tier Astral Realm can indeed display their prowess.
Of course, it is also possible that they will suffer severe damage or even be wiped out.
While the Eternal and Super Civilizations certainly suppress their development, they can also be considered protectors in a way.
Everything has its advantages and disadvantages; it all depends on how you interpret it.
However, judging from the current situation, the Ancestor of Knights seems to be preparing to take advantage of the fact that the Eternal and the Super Civilization are basically tied down, and to make a huge move against Augustus.
The goal is to suppress this rising star of the knightly profession in one fell swoop, completely dominate the knightly career path, and lay the foundation for achieving Eternity.
Realizing this, the Lord of the Undead's eyes flickered slightly, and he murmured to himself, "It seems that Augustus indeed put immense pressure on the Ancestor of Knights, otherwise he wouldn't have taken such a risk—a third of the Great Dao of Knights..."
"This is a good opportunity. Since the Ancestor of Knights is willing to pay such a price, I naturally have no reason to hesitate any longer."
"In any case, with the Power of Civilization the Underworld and the Undying Civilization at our disposal, self-preservation shouldn't be a major problem."
Having understood all this, the Lord of the Undead no longer suppressed the greed surging within him and nodded slightly to the Ancestor of Knights in agreement.
Unbeknownst to the Lord of the Undead, as he nodded, on the other side of the Flame Frost Continent, in the magnificent Knights' Hall, the usually taciturn Emperor Augustus raised a slight smile, revealing a triumphant grin.
It was as if I could see prey falling into a trap.
