Just as the Golden Divine Kingdom was planning its counterattack against the Crimson Moon Universe Cluster, and all preparations were in full swing.
Dark Celestial Star.
The stronghold of the Eight Gods' Realm.
Compared to the bustling atmosphere of the past few days, the atmosphere here seemed to have plummeted after the crushing defeat on the Longtuo Continent. Everyone's faces were tense, and their eyes were filled with confusion and a hint of fear.
Only when their gaze fell upon the temple standing in the most prominent position on Dark Celestial Star did they relax slightly, as if they had found a pillar of support, and their steps became more energetic.
In any case, the true core of the Eight Gods' Realm, the Pale Veil Selwyn, did not perish in the war on the Longtuo Continent; instead, he escaped alive.
As the stronghold of the Eight Gods' Realm, Dark Celestial Star has been established for a long time, and its various defense systems are extremely complete, almost comparable to those of the Lower God Kingdom. With the presence of Selwyn, True God Tier Eight, it is highly likely that it will not have a problem to fight against True God Tier Nine.
That's why the Eight Gods' Realm didn't collapse when they learned that the Golden Divine Kingdom was planning a counterattack, because they still had hope for the future.
At this very moment, inside the temple, Selwyn, his face growing increasingly pale, sat high on his throne, his expression dazed.
Even with his composure, he was stunned by this battle and took a long time to recover.
With their key advisors gone, top-level cadres either defected to the enemy or were captured.
Now, of the eight gods, only the Water Demon Lord Kanerxi remains.
The problem is that Kanerxi's best friend, Sky Thunder Darian, has been captured by Lancelot.
Selwyn knew Darian's character all too well; this guy was definitely not the kind of die-hard loyalist who would die for his cause.
Once it's confirmed that the Golden Divine Kingdom has achieved a great victory over the Eight Gods' Realm, coupled with the persuasion of the surrender faction like Raging Flame Kalachi, he will definitely take the opportunity to submit to Lancelot and join the Golden Divine Kingdom.
And once Sky Thunderbolt Darian is subdued by the Golden Divine Kingdom, Water Demon Lord Kanerxi will probably also take the initiative to join them.
Otherwise, Kanerxi should be inside the Dark Celestial Star right now, weathering the storm with the Eight Gods' Realm, instead of being stuck in some outpost outside, with no clue whereabouts even.
Clearly, Kanerxi didn't want Selwyn to know where he was, lest he be caught and taken back.
"I never imagined that I, Selwyn, would end up like this!"
Looking at the empty hall, Selwyn sighed softly.
Just then, Selwyn's expression changed slightly. He looked up at the sky, where a mysterious black shadow was emerging from the depths of space, its aura unfathomable and profound, making it difficult to fathom.
"Who are you?!" Selwyn immediately stood up, his aura surging, and pale divine fire emanated from his body, while frost quickly condensed in the hall.
"The Ancient Hall of Dark Magic!"
The visitor responded with a sentence.
Selwyn an eyebrow, his expression softening. "Isn't it rather impolite of you to come uninvited and trespass into the heart of my Eight Gods' Realm?"
"Heh." The shadowy figure merely chuckled, offering no answer, and instead asked directly, "How did Alaric and the group of dark Mage perish?"
Selwyn narrowed his eyes. "This is common knowledge in both universes. Do you need to ask me?"
"You're the only one who escaped alive, and since you were Alaric's collaborator, you're also responsible for his death!" the shadowy figure sneered.
"You've gone a bit too far, haven't you?" Selwyn was also angry, but he only showed his anger briefly and didn't take any concrete action.
He couldn't even handle Lancelot, let alone the Ancient Hall of Dark Magic, which was many times more powerful and known for its cruel methods.
The latter was simply not someone that Upper God like him, without any backing, could afford to offend!
"Don't force me to take action. You should know what it means that I was able to bypass Dark Celestial Star's defense system and get to you!" the shadowy figure continued to threaten.
Selwyn's forehead veins bulged, and anger surged within him, but he was an extremely calm person after all. He quickly suppressed his anger, Replication a portion of his memories, and handed it over to the shadowy figure.
"To make sure you're not lying to me, you need to sign this contract!" the shadowy figure said coldly, then threw out a parchment contract that exuded an evil aura.
Selwyn suddenly waved his hand, his Divine Power surging, and sent the parchment of the contract flying without even touching it, showing extreme caution.
"I will not sign any contract with a dark Mage. If you don't believe me, we can sign any of the four great contracts!" Selwyn said through gritted teeth, his attitude extremely firm, showing that if the shadow pressed him again, he would fight at all costs.
The atmosphere was silent.
After a few seconds, the dark figure nodded slightly, "Okay!"
Upon hearing this, Selwyn a sigh of relief, took out a scroll he had prepared, drafted its contents, signed his real name, and then tossed it to the shadowy figure for review.
After taking it and finding no problems, the latter picked up the information crystal that Selwyn had just given him and scanned it repeatedly with his Divine Power, not missing a single detail.
A full ten minutes later.
The shadowy figure put away the information crystal and the contract, glanced at Selwyn, and left with the words, "This matter ends here. Take care of yourself."
Seeing this, Selwyn quickly called out to the shadowy figure and asked urgently, "Isn't the Ancient Hall of Dark Magic going to avenge Alaric and all those dark Mage?"
In a flash!
The shadowy figure suddenly turned its head.
A terrifying blade, entirely formed from the Divine Law, appeared mysteriously between Selwyn's brows. The latter didn't even have time to react, demonstrating the vast difference in their strength.
"The affairs of the Ancient Hall of Dark Magic are none of your business. This time, considering you haven't harmed Alaric from beginning to end, I'll spare your life. Remember, some things are not for you to know, understand?!"
"Yes!"
Under the threat of death, Selwyn quickly lowered his head, not daring to ask any more questions.
The shadow wriggled and disappeared.
The main hall was empty once again.
Selwyn slumped to the ground, his eyes filled with the same bewilderment and helplessness as his subordinates.
Meanwhile, after leaving Dark Celestial Star, the shadowy figure contacted a powerful figure in the Ancient Hall of Dark Magic through some secret passages.
"How's it going?" The emotionless voice echoed.
The shadowy figure quickly lowered his head and respectfully said, "It's been confirmed... After comparing the information in the database, it's basically certain that Lancelot is most likely the Terra who won the Fate Supremacy War. He's an absolute elite of the Earth Guardian lineage. With the talent he's shown, becoming Main God is practically a certainty. Should we initiate the assassination procedure?!"
The important figure opposite remained silent for a long time. "Don't create unnecessary trouble. The most urgent task right now is to carry out the ' Dao-Devouring Operation.' Moreover, according to what you've said, Lancelot is already True God Tier Nine with extremely strong vitality and spatial abilities. Without sending out Main God- level forces, it will be difficult to kill him."
"But once we send out the Main God's forces, the Dome of the Stars will sense it. At that time, many Star Watcher will surely descend to retaliate, which could easily disrupt our plans."
"Star Watcher?!" The dark figure suddenly looked up, its pupils shrinking as if it were startled.
That important figure was used to it; even he was wary of any of the Star Watcher, let alone a shadowy figure who wasn't at the level of Main God.
Although the latter's strength is at the True God level, already standing at the peak, and he possesses several Upper God Artifact of Immortal quality, he is still no match for any blank- Main God, even a newly promoted one.
Each of the Star Watcher is considered powerful at the level of Main God.
"In any case, let's leave it at that. Lancelot shouldn't be moved rashly. Come back first; I still have a task for you."
"Yes!"
The shadowy figure bowed in response.
