Although the Divine Realm is the stronghold of God of Faith, this does not mean that everyone in it is purely God of Faith.
In reality, the vast majority of the top combat forces in the Divine Realm are still Primordial God.
However, they also embarked on the path of God of Faith.
The Goddess of Fate is a typical example of this.
Tanasi, the God of Death, and Dax, the God of War, were no exception. They were both Primordial Ancient God born from the Astral Realm. Later, after the Mother of the Stars discovered the secret of the Power of Faith, they joined the system of God of Faith and became high-ranking members of the Divine Realm.
In a sense, the struggle between the Divine Realm and the Primordial Heaven is essentially an internal conflict among the Primordial God, a struggle over different paths.
As Primordial Ancient God, the God of Death and the God of War naturally collected a large number of Primordial Divine Soul.
In particular, the God of War, Dax, possesses the Hall of Heroes, Miracle Creation that can effectively nurture Primordial Divine Soul and maintain their activity. The number of Primordial Divine Soul he possesses is no less than that of the God of Death.
However, what puzzled the God of Death was why the Ancestral Tree of Destruction would require Primordial Divine Soul.
His suspicious nature made the God of Death subconsciously more vigilant.
The Ancestral Tree of Destruction calmly explained, "It's not that I need it, it's that the Void Insect Clan have just developed a powerful war insectoid unit based on the divine system, which requires Primordial Divine Soul as a catalyst."
"God-type insectoid soldiers?" A thoughtful look appeared in the eyes of the God of Death. That was indeed possible. As everyone knew, the genes of the Void Insect Clan were a veritable hodgepodge.
The Zerg Queen consumes gene fragments from other races, selects genes suitable for Zerg fusion and absorption, adjusts them, and adds them to the Zerg gene pool before starting production using the Zerg hive.
This process is certainly not smooth sailing. In fact, the vast majority of new Zerg are useless and require careful screening to select the best of the best, and then undergo two, three, or even more genetic adjustments to obtain a satisfactory product.
The excuse of Ancestral Tree of Destruction was quite good. After a brief thought, the God of Death believed him, nodded slightly, and agreed.
"Alright, I agree. The Primordial Divine Soul will be delivered soon. However, before that, you must sign the ' Astral Realm Contract '." The God of Death said, taking out a sacred contract that shimmered with a blue-purple light and had countless gold and silver threads crisscrossing its surface.
It was the "Astral Realm Contract" that the Ancestor of Knights and the Lord of the Undead had signed.
Violating this contract will incur the wrath and direct punishment of the Astral Realm Will.
For powerful beings like the God of Death and the Ancestral Tree of Destruction, who possess immense strength and are backed by the Eternal, the "Astral Realm Contract" is extremely binding, and the consequences of breaking it are devastating.
Unless absolutely necessary, even powerful beings of the level of the Ancestral Tree of Destruction and the God of Death would not easily violate the "Astral Realm Contract".
Compared to the Eternal' Covenant, the Astral Realm Contract is undoubtedly more impartial. The Astral Realm Will does not engage in underhanded dealings, which is why both the Main God and the Supreme God prefer to establish the Astral Realm Contract.
Of course, it's worth mentioning that even if True God wanted to establish Astral Realm Contract, he couldn't.
Without paving the way, unless one is particularly favored by the Astral Realm Will, such as a special race like the Void Whale, it is impossible for True God to sign Astral Realm Contract.
After carefully examining the contents of the Astral Realm Contract, the Ancestral Tree of Destruction unhesitatingly poured its primordial energy into it.
The God of Death on the opposite side simultaneously sensed the fluctuations of the successful establishment of the Astral Realm Contract, and a smile finally appeared on his cold lips.
He seemed to already see the Death Note beckoning to him.
"I will send someone to deliver the Primordial Divine Soul as soon as possible. I will inform you of the specific timing of the operation to surround and kill the Ancestral Tree of Life. Be prepared." As the words faded, the figure of the God of Death gradually dissipated.
Once the God of Death had completely departed, the false smile on the face of the Ancestral Tree of Destruction vanished instantly.
Beside him, a ball of emerald green light appeared, and the Ancestral Tree of Life emerged from the light.
"Big sister."
The Ancestral Tree of Destruction called out affectionately, its branches skillfully clinging to the Ancestral Tree of Life.
The latter did not object, but smiled slightly and said, "It seems the plan is progressing smoothly."
"Yes, that's right. As you said, you really managed to outwit the God of Death. However, I still don't understand why you need the Primordial Divine Soul, elder sister?" the Ancestral Tree of Destruction asked, puzzled.
The Ancestral Tree of Life shook its head and said, "It's not that I need it, but rather that another powerful being needs the help of Primordial Divine Soul to accelerate his cultivation."
"Who is it?" the Ancestral Tree of Destruction asked curiously.
"You'll know once the war begins. Before that, too much talk is bad." The Ancestral Tree of Life did not inform the Ancestral Tree of Destruction of Lancelot's existence.
It's not that I don't trust the latter, but rather that I want to maintain secrecy as much as possible.
The Astral Realm has too many bizarre and unknown methods of stealing information, and the God of Death is equally adept at this, so we must be wary.
"Alright, I understand." The Ancestral Tree of Destruction didn't ask any further questions; it always unconditionally trusted the Ancestral Tree of Life.
"This is a concealment array specially made for you by Space-Time. Take it with you. After violating the Astral Realm Contract, this array will buy you some time, enough for you to withdraw to the World Alliance. With Mother's protection, even if the Astral Realm Will is enraged, it cannot harm you."
Ancestral Tree of Life spoke, it took out a crown woven from branches with a silver-gray main color and handed it to the Ancestral Tree of Destruction.
The latter took it, played with it for a few moments, and laughed, "That guy Little Space-Time, he never takes the proper route, he specializes in researching these crooked and unorthodox methods. I didn't expect that he would actually come up with quite a few things. In terms of Concealment and shielding abilities, there are probably few in the entire Astral Realm who can compare to him, right?"
"Hmm." Speaking of the Ancestral Tree of Space-Time, the Ancestral Tree of Life also had many feelings. "Perhaps, this is the power of talent and passion combined. Mother is right, every living being has its own unique path. As long as you persevere and don't give up, just keep going. There's no such thing as superior or inferior."
"Speaking of Mother, she's fighting the Nightmare Hydra. Should we continue our operation? The combined strength of the God of Death and the God of War is not to be underestimated. Besides, they have extensive connections and can likely bring in quite a few powerful individuals."
The tone of the Ancestral Tree of Destruction became serious.
His biggest fear right now is that he might painstakingly set up a scheme only to be killed by his prey in the end. Not only would it be humiliating, but he might also die.
Upon hearing this, the Ancestral Tree of Life frowned slightly, and after a long while, sighed. Its gaze shifted to a certain direction in the Astral Realm, and it said, "Mother told us not to worry and to continue advancing the plan, but she didn't specify what powerful forces we have that can join the fray."
"Very well, Mother would never harm us. Besides, anything can fail. Now we should cast aside all worries and prepare for battle with all our might." As the Ancestral Tree of Life finished speaking, its tone became firm again.
This illustrates the importance of having a strong core leadership.
After the World Tree spoke, the Ancestral Tree of Life's initial hesitation and doubt were completely suppressed, and its will became firm again.
The Ancestral Tree of Destruction said nothing more. Since the Astral Realm Contract had already been signed, it would be too humiliating to suffer a backlash from the contract if it didn't fight back.
A person lives for their reputation, just as a tree lives for its bark.
At worst, I'll die. On the road to survival, death is inevitable, so what's there to be afraid of?!
Just as the siblings Ancestral Tree of Destruction and the Ancestral Tree of Life, were having their conversation.
Within the Temple of Death in the Divine Realm.
The will of the God of Death has returned.
He opened his eyes and saw his elder brother, the God of War, Dax.
The latter, with red hair and golden eyes, stood with his arms crossed, suspended in mid-air in the center of the hall. His imposing and vast aura naturally filled every inch of the hall, creating an overwhelming sense of oppression.
"So? Did the Ancestral Tree of Destruction agree?" the God of War asked.
"He agreed, that greedy fellow. I knew it; he's been coveting the Death Note just as much," the God of Death sneered.
"However..." The God of Death frowned again, "The Ancestral Tree of Destruction said it needs the Primordial Divine Soul we've accumulated, saying that the Void Insect Clan are researching and creating a powerful god-type insectoid soldier that they can use, and I agreed."
"Primordial Divine Soul? Divine Insect Soldiers?" The God of War stroked his chin, which was covered with a light blue stubble, and nodded slightly. "That's possible, but there's no way to verify it, so we don't know if it's true or not."
"But it doesn't matter. After inheriting the Primordial Divine Soul, it still needs time to grow."
"Even in special areas where time is accelerated, although Primordial God can be cultivated quickly, their potential will be stifled."
"Furthermore, the Primordial Divine Soul we possess are not remnants of any particularly powerful beings. Even if they were given to the Ancestral Tree of Destruction, they would not pose any threat to us."
"Unless, the Ancestral Tree of Destruction can greatly increase its power by drawing upon these Primordial Divine Soul."
"But how could that be possible?! If that were possible, the Ancestral Tree of Destruction would have started collecting Primordial Divine Soul long ago, instead of waiting until now."
Although the God of War, Dax, was known for his combat prowess, he was also exceptionally intelligent. After analyzing the situation together, they determined that even if he gave away the Primordial Divine Soul in his hand, it would not harm him.
The God of Death nodded in agreement, "Indeed, that's what I was thinking too. In that case, let's give him the Primordial Divine Soul."
"Hmm." The God of War nodded, casually tossing a golden ball of light from his hand. Inside the ball of light floated tens of thousands of Primordial Divine Soul, all of extremely high quality. The weakest were at the level of True God, and the strongest could reign supreme even among the Main God.
The God of Death reached out and took the ball of light. He then took out his own Primordial Divine Soul and poured it into the ball of light. He then put it away, preparing to deliver these Primordial Divine Soul to the Ancestral Tree of Destruction via spatial teleportation later.
"Now that the Ancestral Tree of Destruction has agreed to join us in besieging the Ancestral Tree of Life and seizing the Death Note, we should consider how to completely kill this Peak Supreme God and prevent her from escaping."
At this point, the eyes of the God of War, Dax, suddenly lit up, and his fierce battle intent burned intensely, as if it could ignite the entire Void Sea.
As God of War, Dax has an extreme thirst for battle.
However, as his strength grew, fewer and fewer opponents were willing to fight him to the death.
This God of War of the Astral Realm often felt incredibly lonely.
For the God of War, being able to fight head-on against a powerhouse of the same level as the Ancestral Tree of Life in a life-or-death battle was an absolutely exhilarating milestone event.
Once the Ancestral Tree of Life is slain head-on, even without obtaining any resources, the God of War will gain unparalleled momentum, taking a step closer to Eternity. Perhaps, he can even enter the realm of Eternity faster than the God of Death after obtaining the Death Note.
"To trap Peak Supreme God like the Ancestral Tree of Life, who wields a powerful Miracle Creation, one must possess power at the level of Eternity," God of Death.
"Don't count on the Sun God or the Mother of the Stars. It's good enough if the former doesn't interfere with us; she doesn't want a third God King to appear in the Divine Realm. As for the Mother of the Stars, her thoughts are unfathomable." God of War Dax first sneered, then frowned and shook his head.
The God of War did not show much respect to the Sun God, the king of the gods.
Just as the World Tree predicted.
The Divine Realm is indeed incredibly powerful, but it is too fragmented internally to integrate all its forces.
Besides the Earth God Pantheon and the Sun God Pantheon, the two most powerful pantheons with the Eternal presiding over them, the God of War Pantheon should not be underestimated either.
At least before the Goddess of Fate made the Eternal, the overall strength of the Goddess of Fate Pantheon God of War Pantheon.
However, the current Goddess of Fate Pantheon is currently enjoying unparalleled popularity.
The relationship between the God of War Pantheon and the Goddess of Fate Pantheon is not bad, so the God of Death, "How about we ask the Goddess of Fate to intervene?"
"No." The God of War shook his head decisively. "The Goddess of Fate is tied up with the Ruler of the Abyss and can't help us. Besides, this woman is too cunning. I'm afraid she'll scheme against me, and I don't want her to take all the benefits."
"That's true." The God of Death nodded in deep agreement.
Old Yin Bi is also graded.
The God of Death thought he was cunning enough, but compared to the Goddess of Fate, he was still a nobody. This woman was too unpredictable; if he wasn't careful, she would sell him out, and he would have to count the money for her.
As you can see, even the Ruler of the Abyss has been traumatized by the Goddess of Fate. When the two meet, they don't exchange a single word. The Ruler of the Abyss just keeps fighting, focusing solely on brute force and ignoring everything else.
This shows how deep the shadow the Goddess of Fate cast on the heart of this demonic ruler.
"If we want to completely kill the Ancestral Tree of Life, we must cut off her escape routes. There aren't many in the Astral Realm capable of doing that."
"The Absolute Order Imprisonment of the God of Law the Northern Spirit Empire!"
"The Abyss Warden, the Prison Lord's Eternity Law of Sealing!"
"Space-Time Loop Prison set up by the Lord of Time!"
"The Arcane Corridor of the Magic Pioneer!"
"Among them, there's probably not a single one who has a grudge against the World Tree, who is capable of taking action, and who is willing to do so," the God of Death shook his head helplessly.
"No." The God of War raised his hand, his eyes gleaming. "You've overlooked an Eternal."
"Who?"
"Lord of Nightmares."
"Him? But wasn't He held back by the World Tree?"
"Heh, don't forget, the Lord of Time took the Bloodline Atlas with him to forge the Eternity Dragon Body. So, what did the Lord of Time use as collateral?"
"You mean..." The God of Death's eyes lit up slightly.
"That's right, White Feather of Time! Only Miracle Creation Miracle Creation can be used as collateral!"
"The White Feather of Time must be in the hands of the Lord of Nightmares."
"If we could borrow this Miracle Creation, then all our problems would be solved!"
