The Elemental Dimension was taken over by the Adrian Federation.
All gazes cast from all directions of the Astral Realm fell silent, an invisible undercurrent surging.
Beyond the World Tree Universe, the cross-shaped light emanating from the Order-Restoring Iridescent Light gradually dimmed and eventually disappeared without a trace, and the lurking threat vanished into nothingness.
The Ancestral Tree of Life's gaze was complex and solemn. "So the Elemental Dimension have thus fallen under the control of the Adrian Federation? From now on, the energy cycle of the entire Astral Realm will be subject to those spellcasters."
"Don't worry, in my Inner Universe, energy comes from chaos, circulates and controls itself, and is not subject to Elemental Dimension." The World Tree's voice rang out, appearing quite calm about the encounter with Elemental Dimension.
Over the long course of history, the World Tree has experienced countless events, and even the Astral Realm was once on the verge of collapse. What is happening now is not the worst-case scenario.
"Child, everything external is illusory. The most important thing is to maintain internal stability and unity. In this turbulent undercurrent, only by sticking together can we survive and become stronger, including myself, the Eternal." The World Tree's gentle words echoed in the ears of the Ancestral Tree of Life and the Ancestral Tree of Destruction, and both nodded in unison.
"Speaking of which, the Lord of Endless is truly terrifying. His growth rate is simply astonishing. In such a short time, he has already been able to single-handedly withstand the combined attack of two Eternity warriors." The Ancestral Tree of Destruction turned its gaze to a certain spot in the Void, where a figure radiating thousands of golden rays was clashing with the surging Magical Energy of Kehain and the Eternity avatar of the Abyss Sealing Guardian, whose sealing runes blotted out the sky.
Three immense forces, like three suns, hung high in the Void. Under their light, everything either shattered, solidified, or transformed into another substance; the rules were all being altered.
Every being at the level of Main God or higher is a mobile "source of rules." Under the radiation of their power, whether they like it or not, any being below the level of Main God will be affected, and their overall life form will evolve towards that source of radiation, and they may even eventually become its clone.
At their level, they themselves are the universe itself.
"The war in the Elemental Dimension is over, and the battle on the side of the Lord of Endless will soon cease as well." The Ancestral Tree of Life spoke with a similarly heavy heart.
"Will the Magic Pioneer intervene against the Lord of Endless?" The Ancestral Tree of Destruction narrowed its eyes, its dark aura spreading outwards.
"Don't worry, the Magic Pioneer don't have time to deal with the Lord of Endless right now. Do you really think that his complete absorption of the Elemental Dimension will have no backlash? Although the Astral Realm Will hasn't issued a judgment openly, it will weaken the Magic Pioneer and the entire Adrian Federation in other ways," the World Tree said confidently.
"Ah? That's really good news." A smile reappeared in the eyes of the Ancestral Tree of Destruction.
"What I'm really concerned about now is the war in the Primordial Heaven. The Adrian Federation has such great ambitions, and the Northern Spirit Empire is even stronger than the Federation. Are they really being completely suppressed by the Primordial Heaven's counterattack? I don't think so." The Ancestral Tree of Life changed the subject, bringing up another war taking place in the Void.
Although both were wars initiated by advanced civilizations, and their impact may not have been as great as the Elemental War, they still attracted the attention of the entire Astral Realm before the Elemental War, much of the attention that was originally focused on the Elemental Dimension was shifted to the Primordial Heaven.
"Big sister, do you mean the Northern Spirit Empire has another plan? Perhaps it's to lure the enemy deep into its territory, hoping to draw out the main forces of the Primordial Heaven and then take advantage of the situation, or is there some other plan?" The Ancestral Tree of Destruction reacted quickly, its eyes darting around as it suspiciously guessed.
"The information we currently have is not comprehensive enough, and the Northern Spirit Empire's ' Information-State Alert System ' is too powerful. We simply cannot conduct effective information infiltration. The relevant predictions we have are merely guesses based on logic, and we are not certain about the specifics. It is also possible that the Northern Spirit Empire was indeed stunned by the Primordial Heaven. War is the most unpredictable thing, and no one knows which side will ultimately win until the very end."
The Ancestral Tree of Life shook its head, offering no affirmative answer.
At this moment, the World Tree chimed in, "Your guess is likely correct. I can sense that not long ago, the intensity of the battle between the Sun God and the God of Law, which was originally fierce, suddenly dropped by more than half. Although it still looks just as intense, the actual damage caused is completely different compared to before."
"Oh? Is that so? It seems another grand drama is about to unfold." The Ancestral Tree of Life's eyes flashed with azure-gold light as it spoke thoughtfully.
"The battle on the Lord of Endless's side is about to end," the World Tree suddenly spoke.
His words caused the major powerhouses of the surrounding World Alliance to turn their gazes toward the three blazing suns that were engaged in a fierce battle in the Void.
The three blazing suns, which had been fiercely battling each other, suddenly separated, transforming from extreme motion to extreme stillness, and ceased their battle.
Many spectators couldn't help but grimace, looking extremely uncomfortable.
"Why did you suddenly stop playing? I was really engrossed in watching it."
"Nonsense, the main act is over, so the supporting act should end too," someone scoffed dismissively.
"Don't worry, there will definitely be many more Eternity battles like this in the future. This is also a good opportunity for us Main God to absorb a lot of useful experience. Recently, many of our old friends whose cultivation bottlenecks were almost solidified have broken through their limits and made great progress on their paths. Although war is cruel, it can also bring Infinity opportunities." A god with a fat head and big ears, who looked like a wild boar in human form, patted his fat belly and laughed. His belly seemed to contain an entire universe, giving people a heavy and profound feeling.
"Lord of Endless, our battle should end."
In the dark Void, energy swirled and elements Rule Collapser, Kehain, smiled and looked at Lancelot, his eyes filled with no hatred or hostility, only pure appreciation.
"You'd be welcome to visit the Spellcaster Association sometime in the future, and we can discuss the path of Destruction and decay," Kehain a smile, his attitude incredibly sincere, as if inviting a fellow Daoist to his home.
"Alright." Lancelot nodded slightly. He didn't have any ill feelings towards Kehain. Although the old man hadn't reached the Eternity Realm, he had taken a different path in terms of magical skill, with incredibly profound foundations. He was only one step away from the Eternity Realm.
This time, with the entire Elemental Dimension under the control of the Adrian Federation, the majority of the Astral Realm elemental power has fallen into the hands of the spellcasters, and all spellcasters will inevitably benefit greatly.
As the president of the Spellcaster Association, it might not be long before this Rule Collapser ascends to the Eternity Realm.
After smiling and nodding to Lancelot, Kehain nodded to the Eternity avatar of the Abyss Sealing Guardian, then slowly stepped back. Behind him, the Doomsday Codex flipped, and a page inscribed with numerous silver-white runes fell off, transforming into a spatial portal. Kehain retreated into it, the portal closed, and his entire aura completely disappeared.
"What, you still want to fight me?"
Lancelot turned around, his grip on the Spear of Destruction tightening and loosening repeatedly as he toyed with this weapon capable of unleashing world-ending catastrophe.
Under his slightly amused gaze, the two Black Book spirits opposite him exchanged a glance, both able to see the helplessness in each other's eyes.
"What do we do now? Continue fighting?" the White Book Spirit asked quietly.
"Fight? You think you can beat him?" The Black Book Spirit glanced at its partner.
"But Master has given orders..." The White Book Spirit hesitated.
"Come back. This time it was not our fault, but we encountered an anomaly." The voice of the Abyss Sealing Guardian suddenly rang out in the Eternity Avatar, then fell silent, no matter how the Black and White Book Spirit called out to him.
It wasn't that the Abyss Sealing Guardian didn't want to speak, but rather that the Ruler of the Abyss wouldn't give it the chance, fearing that its Eternity will might slip away.
Opportunities to trip up this old rival are rare, and once the Ruler of the Abyss seizes one, he won't want to let it go.
"Let's retreat. We should go back to help our master. The Ruler of the Abyss is not easy to deal with." The Black Book Spirit sighed, and the White Book Spirit had the same idea. The two of them rode the Black Book, temporarily acting as the "brain" of the Eternity Incarnation, and transformed into a beam of sealing light, crossing Space-Time and space.
Lancelot tried to stop him several times during this process.
He was quite interested in the sealing power contained within the Eternity body of the Abyss Sealing Guardian, believing it could perfect his Endless Divine Body, and that Gustavo would also greatly need it.
And that Black Book is no less valuable than the Four Swords of Immortal Slaying.
However, Lancelot was confident he could defeat either of them individually.
However, when the two are combined, they form a complete and Eternity fighting force, which even Lancelot could not retain and ultimately had to give up.
"Forget it, it's just a waste of energy if we can't win. There might be more important things to do right now." Lancelot's eyes flickered slightly.
Just now, he received a message from the World Tree, informing him that the war between the Primordial Heaven and the Northern Spirit Empire might be subject to change. Compared to the Eternity incarnation of the Abyss Sealing Guardian, Lancelot was more interested in the massive amount of Primordial Divine Soul in the Primordial Heaven.
"Moreover, as the ' God King,' I'm afraid I've become a thorn in the side of the Northern Spirit Empire, and have been incorporated into the entire Astral Realm Divine System. I just don't know how much Divine Karma I've taken up," Lancelot muttered to himself.
He could sense that the more Divine Karma he possessed, the greater the benefit to himself, and the greater the help he would receive in advancing to the Eternal.
When using combat methods related to the Divine System, one's power will be significantly amplified. At the same time, when dealing with enemies of the Divine System, as long as the opponent is not a "God King", there is a high probability that a "suppression effect" will be created, and one unit of damage dealt can unleash two units of damage.
Other Divine System also show obvious awe towards Lancelot and are more likely to submit to him.
All the benefits stem from the position of "God King".
It's no wonder that when the Sun God discovered Lancelot's potential to become the God King, he immediately took drastic measures to eliminate him.
However, the Sun God's plan backfired, instead strengthening Lancelot's connection with the God Tomb and making him the true God King.
The Sun God must have been filled with rage whenever he thought of this.
"Oh right, I also need to give the Sealing Source Card from the Aiwensuo Civilization to Gustavo first, and all these remnants of the Black Crystal Civilization to him too. This guy's growth rate is too slow, he's even holding everyone back." Lancelot slapped his forehead and muttered.
As soon as he finished speaking, within his body, in his Endless Divine Body, the galaxy spun and condensed into a teleportation gate. Lancelot packed up all the spoils he had acquired and sent them into the gate, teleporting them to Gustavo, who was still in the Abyss.
At this very moment.
Bottomless Abyss.
The demonic energy surged and evolved into thick demonic clouds, with crackling purple lightning flashing through them. Occasionally, the roars of monstrous demons could be heard, their exposed scales and claws inspiring a sense of terror.
The earth is covered with Lava, and volcanoes stand like trees in a forest, with red lava rivers crisscrossing like a spider web.
At the bottom of the largest ancient volcano, a colossal spider-like beast, entirely black with silver patterns on its body and possessing eight ferocious blade-like legs, lies prostrate on the ground. Beneath its body, a pool of magma bubbles fiery red, which burst open, spewing out liquid sparks.
Buzz!!
A spatial portal suddenly opened, from which a massive amount of rare resources flew out. Any one of these resources would be enough to drive True God mad, but at this moment, they were piled up in Gustavo's lair like unwanted garbage.
Gustavo was not actually asleep; he was simply using the dense Abyss demonic energy here to heal his injuries.
Originally, this Abyss plane belonged to Kaos, the Lord of Burning Destruction. After the latter revealed his identity as an avatar of the Lord of Hell, it completely belonged to Gustavo and was renamed the Devouring Plane.
It is one of the planes closest to the Abyss, containing the purest and most intense demonic energy. Within this demonic energy lies a large amount of Abyss Power, and even a single wisp of it can elevate the bloodline of a lower-level demon to a higher-level one.
Living in such an environment, Gustavo's growth rate was quite considerable, given his terrifying ability to absorb and digest resources through his Devouring Path. Of course, this was considerable compared to other Main God and Supreme God; for someone like Lancelot, whose growth rate was abnormal, it was still too slow, much to Gustavo's dismay.
"That rich bastard."
Gazing at the dazzling array of rare resources before him, Gustavo's eyes lit up. Without a word, he opened his mouth and inhaled, swallowing the Source Card along with everything else, beginning to digest and absorb them to enhance himself.
Lancelot, on the other hand, quietly Concealment from all sight.
