The Sage King's Scheme
After listening to the Spirit Emperor's account of Sea God Island and the recent divine decree, the Abyssal Sage King gave the other a meaningful look before ordering, "The plan remains unchanged. Prepare to expand the spatial rift. You, the Blaze Emperor, and the Devil Emperor will lead the armies from the sixtieth to the seventieth level. I will also dispatch the Transformation Emperor and the Bee Emperor to assist you; they will command the armies from the ninetieth to the one hundredth level. This battle must succeed; failure is not an option! Any objections?"
Spirit Emperor quickly clasped his hands in response and said, "Your subject has no objection."
"Very good." The Sage King continued unhurriedly, "Besides that, there is one more thing I need you to do."
"Please speak, my lord!"
"When launching an attack on this so-called Sea God Island, be mindful of the location of the Sea God Inheritance. Although according to most of the rules of the Divine Realm, as long as we don't produce God Level expert, they will turn a blind eye to our actions until we win, they might still disregard the rules and descend to the mortal realm if we threaten their successor. Therefore, don't kill this person; it's best to focus on sealing them, which will make it easier to sever their connection with the gods. Do you understand?"
"Your subject understands!"
"Alright, now quickly spread the Abyss rift."
"I obey your decree!"
After giving the orders to Spirit Emperor, the Sage King ignored him and went to the bottom of the Abyss to prepare for the upcoming battle.
Upon reaching the very bottom, the Sage King's previously impassive expression began to show a hint of anger. "Sea God, is it? You treat our Abyss as a pawn to gain your faith!? Fine, then let's see if you, this hypocritical savior, can turn our Abyss into nourishment, or if I will utterly Destruction your legacy!!!"
As the Sage King of the Abyss Plane, he was no fool. Based on the Spirit Emperor's account of Sea God Island and Sea God Tang San, he knew that the connection between the Abyss Plane and the Douluo Plane, along with its origin, was most likely the work of this so-called Sea God.
Don't listen to how the Spirit Emperor described the Sea God as so upright and honorable. The Abyssal Sage King knew very well that among those who became gods through faith, not only did scoundrels exist, but they were the majority.
Admittedly, he had always tried to avoid planes protected by gods, but that does not mean that the Sage King was completely unaware of the virtues of those gods.
While some gods are indeed as sublime as their followers claim, this Sea God clearly does not belong to this category. In the Sage King's view, this Sea God belongs to the kind of god who will stop at nothing to expand the Power of Faith.
When the origins of his Abyss Plane and the Douluo Plane intersected, he vaguely sensed the aura of a god, and that aura indeed carried a trace of the ocean.
Therefore, the Sage King can swear that this connection between the two planes was definitely the work of this Sea God! So this attack must also target this so-called Sea God.
This is why the Sage King ordered the Spirit Emperor to seal away the so-called successor of the Sea God Sea God, even if the successor was just a false rumor. The reasons were not as simple as he claimed.
In a sense, the Sage King was actually gambling that this person was the true successor of the Sea God. As long as the person was the true successor of the Sea God Sea God, he could devour the divine affinity of the other person by severing the connection between the other person and his own god.
The so-called Godhood Affinity is exactly what it sounds like; it's the degree of compatibility between the inheritor and the God Position. The higher this value, the easier it will be for the inheritor to inherit the God Position. In fact, as long as the affinity reaches a certain value, even without inheriting the God Position, one can still use a portion of the corresponding God Position's powers.
Therefore, theoretically, as long as the Godhood Affinity of the inheritor is taken away, the Sage King can also exercise some of his powers by relying on this affinity.
This would both weaken the Sea God's fighting power and help the Sage King break through to the level of God King in the future.
Although the Sage King's strength is at the level of First-Level God, he does not have his own God Position. However, this statement is not accurate. It should be said that his God Position is actually the Star Lord Godhood of the Abyss Plane.
However, this kind of God Position is different from other God Position. The power held by the Star Lord Godhood is the power of all the rules of the entire plane, so theoretically it is much stronger than other God Position of the same level.
Their rise and fall are both tied to the plane of existence, because this type of God Position is dependent on the plane itself; therefore, the strength of the plane itself is closely related to these God Position positions.
For example, the current Abyssal Sage King not only possesses the power of First-Level God, but also wields a unique Super Divine Artifact. It can be said that even among the Supreme God in the Divine Realm, he is definitely a top-tier existence at the Supreme God level.
However, for him, advancing to the God King level is much more difficult than for other First-Level God, because he would have to develop his Abyss Plane to the same level as the Divine Realm before he could advance to the God King.
However, if he can absorb and analyze the authority of other gods in large quantities and integrate it into his own Abyss Plane, then he can more easily improve the quality of his plane's energy, preparing for future expansion and advancement.
Theoretically, if the Abyss successfully devoured the Douluo Plane, the energy it could provide would be enough for his Douluo Plane Abyss Plane to become Divine Realm. However, given that this was clearly a trick by the other side, how could the Sage King have any intention of devouring the Douluo Plane?
The Divine Realm that protects this Douluo Plane is like the Sword of Damocles to the Abyssal Sage King. Once they intervene, the Abyss Plane, with only the Sage King as its sole God Level powerhouse, will undoubtedly suffer a crushing defeat.
The reason those gods haven't intervened yet is simply because they want to reap the benefits. They plan to descend to the mortal realm when Douluo is driven into a corner, Destruction the Abyss, and thus collect a large amount of Power of Faith and rightfully seize a large amount of Abyss energy, leaving at most some remnants for Douluo.
Therefore, the Sage King's current plan is actually to carefully analyze the connection between the God Realm and the Abyss before descending to the lower Divine Realm, and then find an opportunity to sever it. During this period, he will also strive for some benefits for himself and the Abyss, and seize a portion of the Douluo Plane's energy, etc.
Although this approach is somewhat cowardly overall, he had no choice but to do it because the difference in strength was too great, and he didn't want to be killed and drained dry.
Besides, if we're talking about the Abyss Plane, they're the victims in this whole affair! You were the ones who forced me to invade your Douluo Plane! And yet I have to pay the price with my life?! Are all you Douluo gods this shameless?!
Especially you, you bastard Sea God who dragged the Abyss Plane here!!!!
