The Void where the Flame Frost Continent once stood.
Lancelot sat cross-legged in the darkness, with countless Particle Gods cultivating within his body. Several months had passed since he seized a large number of Primordial Divine Soul from the Northern Spirit Empire.
During this period, Lancelot digested and absorbed those Primordial Divine Soul, integrating them into his own Endless Divine Body, and his path and strength made great progress.
At this moment, as Lancelot inhaled and exhaled Void Energy, a particle within his body shone with incomparably brilliant divine light, and a grand sound emanated from within him, as if billions of gods and demons were praying and bowing to him, the God King.
Around him, countless Particle Gods deduced all sorts of Transcendent paths, giving birth to all things in heaven and earth, Endless divine manuals, and finally evolving into strands of runes. These were pure material runes, intertwined and constantly colliding, collapsing, and constantly absorbing and exhaling, refining matter and energy. Lancelot infused the Daoist essence within his Endless Divine Body into the Endless Divine Realm within his body. That was his understanding, his foundation, which now resonated with and promoted the Endless Continent.
In this process, Lancelot's understanding of the Way of Endless and Change became more profound. He seemed to gradually understand how to enter that Eternity and Immortal realm. After accumulating enough power, enough insights and laws, it seemed that he needed to reset everything to zero and touch that ancient primordial state in order to leave behind his pure self.
The cultivation system of the Spirit Saint Domain emphasizes that the Tao gives birth to One, One gives birth to Two, Two gives birth to Three, and Three gives birth to all things. So, where does this One come from?
Buzzing...
Countless Particle Gods trembled, practicing various Transcendent systems. Awe-inspiring powers leaped in their hands, and these powers converged on Lancelot's body, making him like an immense ocean, gathering streams from all directions, along with ever-growing wisdom, accumulating, accumulating, and accumulating again, awaiting the final leap.
Meanwhile, in the Divine Realm.
Above the vast and boundless sky, streaks of golden light descended silently, traversing the boundless heavens of the Divine Realm and landing on the vast earth, amidst the endless mountains.
Within the boundless, continuous mountain range, all sorts of colossal beasts roared incessantly, and Transcendent birds soared into the sky from time to time. Almost all of these birds carried an aura of divinity within them. They roamed freely among the peaks that were tens, hundreds, or even tens of millions of miles high, enjoying the exhilaration of freedom.
Golden light, like ripples on water, disappeared into the highest mountain peak, creating a world within it.
This is the residence of the God of War of War, Dax.
The God of War, Dax, did not like residing in a temple high in the sky, but preferred to be close to the earth and feel the vitality brought by all living things.
However, at this moment, there is not only the God of War Dax in the world, but also another God of Warfare from the Northern Spirit Empire.
The God of Warfare was transformed into a burly man in human form, with broad shoulders and a thick Heavenly Court and a square jaw, and large, round ears. His rugged face contained a strong sense of majesty, and between his eyebrows was a curved but closed vertical pupil, adding a touch of holiness.
The Holy Grail of Origin floats above the heads of the two God of Warfare.
Two streaks of purple-gold light flew out from the rim of the cup and landed on their heads, connecting their Fate, causes and effects, and so on, like a thread.
Because the God of Warfare of the Northern Spirit Empire had absorbed the severed portion of the God of War Dax's existence beforehand, the two already shared a common origin in terms of Fate. This made their fusion even more harmonious, and it was nearly completed in just a few months.
"Finally!..."
The chest of the God of War, Dax, heaved, as if a vast universe were faintly visible between his breaths.
The Holy Grail of Origin also emitted an unprecedented radiance.
This signifies that the two God of War have begun an ultimate fusion and transformation.
An unparalleled, magnificent divine light suddenly erupted within this world.
Boom!!!
The earth, spanning trillions of miles, instantly cracked open, and the vast and mighty divine energy surged and swept across Endless mountains and boundless territories, shaking the entire Divine Realm.
A series of dazzling divine lights swept across the sky from the mountain peak, shaking the gods of the Divine Realm. The River of Space-Time was also illuminated by the brilliant divine light, and all the gloomy atmosphere was washed away by the divine light, like ink in a vast ocean, diluted and Purification.
Above the sky, clouds churned and the winds mingled, obscuring the sun, moon, and stars.
In an instant, the Divine Realm seemed to enter a vast ocean of divine light, and the will of the entire Divine Realm trembled and the rules roared.
"The rules are roaring, Space-Time is manifesting—is this the birth of Eternity?"
Countless gazes from all corners of the Divine Realm turned toward this place, their hearts trembling at the colossal phenomenon that seemed to encompass the entire universe surrounding the Divine Realm.
Is a new Eternal about to be born in the Divine Realm, following the Mother of the Stars, the Eternity Sun God, and the Goddess of Fate?
"The fortune of my Divine Realm is indeed unending. The new era has only just begun, and two Eternal have already been born. Is the Astral Realm about to return to the era when the Divine Realm reigned supreme?"
Within the Divine Realm, powerful figures discussed excitedly, their voices mingling.
Outside the Divine Realm, countless gazes were also directed in, causing many wills to tremble, some observing coldly, some sighing with emotion, and some filled with doubt.
"The foundation of the Divine Realm is truly profound. Since the Third Era, the two Eternal have broken through in succession are both powerful figures from the Divine Realm."
"It's hard to say. Is this Eternal? I feel there's something different."
"Even if it's not a true Eternity realm, reaching this level of combat power is enough."
"Alas, you are right. Our only consolation is the discord between the Mother of the Stars and the Eternity Sun God. Otherwise, the Divine Realm, with three Eternity beings, would truly be able to dominate the Astral Realm and usher in a new era of hegemony."
Within the Divine Realm, numerous rules of heaven and earth manifested, divine sounds resonated, composing a symphony of laws.
The will of the Divine Realm rippled slightly, filled with cheers and joy, as if whispering something.
Lancelot, sitting in the Void, suddenly opened his eyes. His gaze shot out a dazzling golden light as he looked towards the Divine Realm. Under the light that resembled a sea of golden flowers, a familiar yet ambiguous figure came into his view.
Around that figure, numerous strange phenomena appeared, with illusory deities materializing from the interplay of earth, fire, wind, and water.
Boom!!
Thunder roared down from the sky, and the world suddenly went dark.
A colossal figure appeared in the sky above the Divine Realm. Above his head, the Hall of Heroic Spirits floated, and behind him seemed to be Endless phantom legions. He was bathed in a sea of light, and divine light emanated from behind his head, radiating an extremely terrifying and vast power.
"This is..."
Lancelot's gaze sharpened, then a hint of interest appeared on his face.
"I see."
He saw through the true nature of the figure.
"A temporary combination of the God of War Dax and the God of Warfare of the Northern Spirit Empire? He has indeed fully entered the Eternity Realm, and his strength is comparable to mine. In fact, with the blessing of the Power of Civilization, he might even be stronger than me."
Lancelot was quite self-aware; he did not become complacent or arrogant because of his Eternity combat power.
Lancelot always understood one principle: there are heavens beyond heavens, and people beyond people. This world is unfathomable. As long as he has not truly broken through to the realm of Eternity, he is not considered to have transcended it. He is still constrained by the River of Space-Time. In terms of vitality, he is still lacking in dimensionality compared to a true Eternity being.
If one day the Astral Realm is Destruction, those Eternity beings will still be able to live freely and unaffected, but he will certainly suffer a severe blow.
Of course, this assumption is almost impossible. A realm of the size of the Astral Realm would be extremely difficult to Destruction, even if it were to Legend a Third-Step Eternity catastrophe of the chaotic level.
"Lord of Endless".
A burst of emerald light appeared, evolving into the form of the Ancestral Tree of Life.
"I believe you've noticed it too," the Ancestral Tree of Life said solemnly.
"Yes." Lancelot nodded slightly.
"It seems the Divine Realm and the Northern Spirit Empire have joined forces again. I wonder what their true purpose is. Could it be the World Alliance?" said the Ancestral Tree of Life.
"It won't be the World Alliance," Lancelot said. "The World Tree Universe's defenses are still invincible in the Astral Realm. The Divine Realm and the Northern Spirit Empire alone, unless they're prepared to perish together with the World Tree Universe, won't achieve much."
Hearing this, the Ancestral Tree of Life felt somewhat relieved. He trusted Lancelot's judgment, after all, she had created countless Miracle right under his nose.
"So what kind of objective is it that would warrant such a large-scale alliance between the Divine Realm and the Northern Spirit Empire? The World Alliance's spies have detected that the forces of these two civilizations have been assembled on a large scale, seemingly preparing to conquer a certain power." The Ancestral Tree of Life's voice carried a hint of doubt.
Lancelot, however, seemed to sense something and nodded thoughtfully. "I think I understand what their goal is."
"What?" The Ancestral Tree of Life was taken aback.
"The Spirit Saint Domain," Lancelot said, enunciating each word clearly.
These words struck the mind of the Ancestral Tree of Life like a Thunderclap.
It took a long time for me to recover.
"So that's how it is. It's all for faith?" the Ancestral Tree of Life murmured to itself.
"Never forget the essential nature and foundation upon which these two forces stand."
Lancelot solemnly warned.
"The core of the Divine Realm is the Primordial Divine Soul and faith, while the core of the Northern Mound Empire is technology and faith."
"Faith is as important to them as the foundation is to a house."
"Moreover, they seem to have sensed the crisis and want to quickly strengthen themselves, making the conquest of the Spirit Saint Domain inevitable."
"Moreover, the timing is perfect."
"The Adrian Federation has just conquered the Elemental Dimension and has no energy left to deal with other matters. Its most urgent task now is to properly digest and absorb this huge piece of the pie."
"The Abyss and the Demon Realm of the End are locked in a tug-of-war, and the Black Prison Realm has also been drawn into it."
"The Primogenitor Mountain and the World Alliance are mutually restraining and hostile."
"The demons of the Nine Hells are required to protect the Lord of Hell."
"In conclusion, no force can restrain them anymore."
"Furthermore, the Spirit Saint Domain has limited appeal to other forces. After all, only these two factions in the Astral Realm have established their foundations on faith. To other peak Astral Realm Boundary civilizations and super-civilizations, the Spirit Saint Domain is merely an unfamiliar resource-producing area."
After a thorough analysis, Lancelot clarified all the circumstances.
"So, this newly created God of War is targeting you?" the Ancestral Tree of Life said thoughtfully.
"Of course, he's already here."
Lancelot nodded as he stood up, raising his head to look at a certain point in the Void, the location of the Divine Realm.
Beside him, the Ancestral Tree of Life's expression suddenly changed. Following Lancelot's gaze, it looked in that direction and saw countless legions, illuminated by golden banners, surging forward, carrying Endless terrifying storms, sweeping towards where Lancelot was.
Wherever it passed, massive Void bodies in the void were overturned, as if a golden bridge had been built in the entire dark Void. On that bridge, a majestic and incomparably heroic figure strode forward, with the Hall of Heroes above his head, carrying an absolutely domineering battle intent.
This is a brand new God of War.
Perhaps only at this moment can he be called the true God of War of the Astral Realm.
Splash...
The Void, carrying a storm, swept past. Lancelot stood up, his robes fluttering, and slightly raised his head. His gaze pierced through the Void. On the Endless Void Sea, the magnificent waves became calm under his gaze, without a single ripple.
Two gazes met across the distance.
At the point of impact, it was as if a vast, illusory world had been created.
A grand battle spirit permeated the air.
"I am once again qualified to challenge you, Lord of Endless," the God of War of the Astral Realm spoke first.
This statement clearly positions the speaker on Dax's side.
"After merging with the God of Warfare of the Northern Spirit Empire, are you still the real you?" Lancelot asked a soul-searching question.
The God of War of the Astral Realm opposite him fell silent for a moment, but quickly smiled with relief. "I have no right to choose. If I don't make this choice, whether I can even exist in the future is still unknown. One step behind means falling behind at every step. I cannot continue to remain silent at the Peak Supreme God realm."
"Perhaps." Lancelot shook his head slightly.
In his view, if Dax could break through and rebuild, raising his fighting spirit to another level, even with the loss of some of his existence, he would still be able to cross that threshold of Eternity.
Unfortunately, the other party did not make that choice.
Lancelot couldn't say which was right or wrong.
He simply stopped thinking about it.
Now that the opponent has arrived, then... let's fight.
Eliminate all distracting thoughts.
Lancelot strode forward.
"Then let's fight!!"
