Lancelot, Logo, Selwyn, and everyone who participated in the battle on the Longtuo Continent could not have imagined that the impact of this battle would spread throughout the entire Astral Realm.
The key lies in the Crimson Altar that Selwyn used when he escaped.
Unbeknownst to him, this altar, which had drifted from the Chaos Zone to the Astral Realm, had been owned by multiple people, who gradually gained power and recharged it through sacrifices.
Selwyn's Divine Power sacrifice instantly filled the crimson altar with energy, and an invisible, intangible wave, seemingly resonating with nothingness, spread out from the altar.
Its speed was extremely fast, surpassing sound and light, comparable to teleportation. Almost instantly, it left the Astral Realm, traversed an unknown distance, and arrived at a Chaos Zone.
A vast and turbulent flow of chaotic energy surged amidst the chaos, where rules and order ceased to exist, seemingly capable of both destroying everything and encompassing all things.
Within this boundless chaos, a colossal and extraordinary celestial system operates in a self-contained manner.
It is like a miniature Astral Realm, standing in the chaos, breathing out boundless chaotic energy, pulling in one strange plane after another, devouring, crushing, digesting, and absorbing them!
Their aggressive and ruthless spirit is almost on par with that of the Astral Realm, only far inferior in size.
Mysterious energy surged from the crimson altar, traversing an immeasurable distance before settling into this new celestial system.
The Saint Realm.
This is a vast and boundless land, so enormous that even from hundreds of millions of miles above, it is still difficult to see its entirety; one can only feel its magnificent Endless power.
The Saint Realm is home to countless precious treasures and Transcendent powerhouses.
It lies between the Divine Realm and Mortal Realm, devouring the geniuses and prodigies produced by both realms. Its power grows ever more terrifying with the passage of time, giving rise to one great being after another, who calls themselves "Heavenly Venerable."
A force with Heavenly Venerable in charge is also given the title 'So-and-so Heaven'.
These forces are also the rulers of this mysterious realm that calls itself the "Heavenly Realm".
They monopolized the most precious resources and gathered the most talented successors, and over time, their dominant position became unshakeable.
Crimson Cloud Heaven.
The powerful force founded by the Heavenly Venerable, Crimson Cloud, is renowned for its might.
On this day, as the fluctuations emanating from the crimson altar disappeared into the Crimson Cloud Heaven, not long after, a deep and resonant bell rang out, and elders and protectors who had been in seclusion emerged from their respective residences, each with a different expression.
"The alarm bells toll; a new interface has been discovered."
"Exploring New Realm is always a fantastic opportunity. It seems that another fierce competition is about to unfold between the various factions within Crimson Cloud Heaven."
"Cultivation is all about competition. The Crimson Cloud Heaven has enjoyed peace for too long; it's time to give those disciples a little exercise, or their bones will rust!"
The elders and protectors discussed it amongst themselves, but did not take the newly discovered interface seriously.
After all, while such situations are not common, they are not particularly Rare either.
Given the age of the elders and protectors, they had seen this far too many times over the years.
At first, they were somewhat wary and even advised their colleagues to be more vigilant, but they soon discovered that the new interface, compared to the Heavenly Realm, was nothing more than an ant compared to a giant.
There is absolutely no comparison.
Even if you just take Crimson Cloud Heaven out, he could easily defeat 99% of the interfaces.
Over time, the impression of being invincible in the Heavenly Realm has been deeply ingrained in the bones of these elders and protectors.
This wasn't just the case in Crimson Cloud Heaven; high-ranking officials in other heavens generally had the same reaction when encountering the New Realm.
Aside from the initial task of having elders or protectors lead a team to investigate, subsequent interface development usually only requires dispatching disciples.
Some outstanding disciples, in terms of strength, are actually not much worse than the Dharma Protectors.
Inside the grand hall, which radiated Endless divine light, elders and protectors gathered.
Before long, a great being, seemingly the embodiment of rules, descended. Around him, crimson light swirled and floated, like clouds and mist. Upon closer inspection, one could discover that countless miniature worlds were being created and destroyed within this light every moment.
He is none other than the Lord of Crimson Cloud Heaven, one of the Heavenly Venerable the Saint Realm, who hangs high above all living beings, Immortal and indestructible.
"A new interface has been discovered. Who among you is willing to lead the disciples of Crimson Cloud Heaven to explore it?" A mysterious voice emanated from the ethereal figure of the Crimson Lord of Crimson Cloud Heaven.
All the high-ranking members of the Crimson Cloud Heaven bowed their heads, showing utmost respect. After bowing, they rushed to speak, vying for the opportunity to lead the team.
Even for elders, leading a team to a newly discovered realm could potentially yield great opportunities.
More importantly, the Lord of Crimson Cloud Heaven is backing up this matter.
Normally, if you venture out on your own in search of opportunities and encounter danger, the God of Heaven won't care. After all, life and death are predestined, which is a common view among Walker in the Heavenly Realm. If you die while adventuring, it means you lack luck, and that's that!
After a long while, the heated argument ended, and the various factions, through competition and countless clandestine exchanges of interests, reached a consensus.
"Very good, Dark Star, you will lead the team this time to explore that newly discovered interface."
"This is the Nine Clouds War Chariot. Riding it will protect you from the mindless beasts in the chaos, and will also allow you to reach that new realm more quickly."
As he spoke, a golden-red halo was handed out by the Lord of Crimson Cloud Heaven, swaying and drifting to the front of an old man in black robes.
The latter gazed at the Nine Clouds War Chariot, his slightly cloudy eyes filled with excitement. He quickly accepted it and said to the Lord of Crimson Cloud Heaven, "As you command, I will certainly live up to your expectations and thoroughly investigate every detail of the New Realm to clear obstacles for the salvation operation."
"Yes, go. Be careful in everything you do. Chaos is not like the Saint Realm. Laws do not exist there, and dangers abound. If you are lost there, even I will have difficulty finding you."
Leaving behind these final words, the Lord of Crimson Cloud Heaven transformed into a ray of light and vanished.
"We respectfully bid farewell to God!"
After the elders and protectors respectfully saw him off, their gazes all fell on Elder Dark Star, who was holding the Nine Clouds War Chariot. Their expressions varied, some were filled with jealousy and envy, while others were cold and One Body, One Heart.
Elder Dark Star paid no attention to the gazes of others. After regaining his composure, he lightly flicked his sleeve and leisurely left the main hall.
Before long, a massive chariot, supported by crimson clouds, rumbled across the sky of the Saint Realm, passed through the clouds filled with fierce winds and thunder, broke through the barrier separating the chaotic air currents, and arrived in the vast chaos.
The crimson altar transmits information extremely quickly, but it is not without its weaknesses; its ability to collect information is almost nonexistent, which is to prevent it from being detected by the interface rules.
It also serves as a warning to those who are well-versed in the principles of Fate and cause and effect.
All of this demonstrates the arrogance of the Heavenly Realm.
It is precisely because they are confident that the Heavenly Realm has no rivals in the vast chaos that they abandon the collection of detailed information and leave only the simplest and least detectable location fluctuations.
Anyway, the Heavenly Realm will win in the end, so why make things so complicated!
However, this time, the Heavenly Realm miscalculated.
This time, they've stirred up an even more terrifying realm!
Those high and Heavenly Venerable were completely unaware, and the common people were also unaware that their Fate were about to undergo a dramatic change.
