Chapter 656
At the headquarters of the Abyss Divine Court, Abyss Star, on that red, vast mountain range, when the outcome of this battle was learned, a group of God King avatars all descended, and not a single one was absent.
After all, the shock this battle brought to everyone was truly too great.
"Five great God Kings joined forces, yet four were killed by King Xinyuan? Although there was the reason of King Xinjie... but based on the strength King Xinyuan finally revealed, even without King Xinjie, the outcome wouldn't have been much different."
"The situation is not good."
"How could his cultivation speed be so fast? Before the Beichen Star opened, he had only just stepped into the Heavenly God Realm... and now he's already a peak God King?"
"How could the Chaos Divine Court be so lucky?" The God Kings of the Abyss Divine Court communicated, all feeling quite unwilling.
But Li Yuan's powerful strength was right before their eyes; no matter how much they didn't believe it, reality was reality.
"I'm thinking," King Yinhuo suddenly said, "with King Xinyuan's strength, he could clearly have saved King Xinjie if he had erupted at the beginning... Why did he wait until King Xinjie and King Hongjiu both fell? Could it be that he wanted to hide some secret?"
"Yes, I also feel puzzled."
"King Hongjiu's deduction ability is astonishing. He joined forces with King Xinjie, and the first one they destroyed was King Hongjiu." Other God Kings also raised questions.
"Yinhuo, what do you mean?" King Moyun looked at the other party.
"I suspect that King Xinyuan's strength does not rely entirely on himself, but on the special environment of Beichen Star." King Yinhuo wagged his tail and said slowly: "Becoming a God King for only a few hundred years and possessing peak God King strength... it's too unbelievable; I don't believe it."
"He had a precedent before, and this time he survived from the Endless Abyss again... I have reason to suspect that he can borrow the power of the Imperial Array on Beichen Star." King Yinhuo said solemnly.
A group of God Kings fell into deep thought.
"I deny it."
"When I was fighting King Xinyuan, I also suspected that he was borrowing secret treasures or had other special means." The one who raised the doubt was actually King Hongjiu. He said lowly: "Therefore, I have been deducing in all directions. Before I fell, I could basically confirm... the World Dao mysteries he used relied on himself."
King Hongjiu saying this made the doubts in many God Kings' hearts greatly reduced.
"I am more inclined to believe that after King Xinjie's true self died in battle, he broke through again in anger. His domain moves are mysterious and extraordinary, not like triggering the power of an array." King Chenmo sighed: "Such a peerless monster, breaking through in the middle of a battle, how normal is that?"
Clearly.
When King Chenmo faced Li Yuan, he was still unconvinced on the surface, but in his heart, he had already been beaten into psychological trauma by Li Yuan.
"Fine."
"In all likelihood, King Xinyuan relies on his own strength; in a small probability, he relies on the array." King Mohai said lowly: "But no matter which situation, at least this point can be confirmed: on Beichen Star, his strength is already at the level of a peak God King... extremely difficult to deal with."
Everyone frowned.
Indeed, no matter how Li Yuan did it, strength was the foundation.
"Mohai, inside Beichen Star, give up on fighting for treasures." King Moyun finally spoke: "Don't chase King Dongmang anymore, don't start any more conflicts... Keeping that Qiansheng Immortal Fruit you obtained is the most important thing."
"Hmm." King Mohai said immediately.
Give up on fighting for treasures?
One also needs strength to fight... Previously, the Abyss Divine Court had nine God Kings and was the strongest force in the Inner Domain, naturally having the confidence to look down on all sides.
And now?
King Lieyan fell first, and this time four more God Kings were lost... The Abyss Divine Court only had four God Kings left.
They also lost King Hongjiu, a powerhouse who was extremely good at deduction.
In terms of overall strength, the Chaos Divine Court side, with Li Yuan sitting in command, now still had four God Kings and was no longer inferior to them in the slightest.
"As for King Xinyuan's situation."
"And the God King War... I will report to the God Emperor and wait for the God Emperor's decision." King Moyun said slowly: "However, I must say a truth: if it really is his own strength."
"Becoming a peak God King in a thousand years, if he doesn't become a God Emperor in the future... I can no longer think of anyone who can step into the Emperor Realm."
Many Abyss Divine Court God Kings felt oppressed and remained silent.
At the headquarters of the Wan Dao Divine Court, many God King avatars also gathered, all feeling quite emotional.
"I'm convinced."
"Top-tier Eternal Dao, peak God King strength... It seems it won't be long before King Xinyuan reaches the God King Perfection."
"Xueyan, your decision... is wise."
"Xueyan, how did you know he would be such a monster back then? You truly have foresight." Many God Kings were flattering King Xueyan.
"I said it long ago." King Xueyan was very indifferent: "Ten thousand Eternal Crystals to resolve the grievances with King Xinyuan is a very worthwhile thing."
But in reality.
King Xueyan was also muttering to himself in his heart: "Top-tier Eternal Dao? What a monster, I really wonder who is the Ten-Star Pulse."
He did indeed have a premonition that Li Yuan would grow extremely fast, but he also expected it to take at least hundreds of thousands of years.
Who could have thought it would be only a few hundred years.
"If there are no accidents, the Chaos Divine Court is probably going to give birth to a fourth God Emperor... A God Emperor." King Xueyan sighed secretly.
He didn't care much about the title of 'First God King of the Divine Realm'; it didn't mean much.
King Xueyan roamed all over the universe, seeing powerful people from all sides, and even fought with some top God Kings from the past in eternal relics. He knew very well that the Ten-Star Pulse was indeed very dazzling.
But placed in the long river of time... a Ten-Star Pulse God King who only opened up a High-Stage Eternal Dao was not the most dazzling batch.
The most dazzling ones were always the Ten-Star Pulse God Kings who opened up top-tier Eternal Dao.
"King Xinyuan is only a Nine-Star Pulse, but being able to open up a top-tier Eternal Dao is also destined to be extremely dazzling." King Xueyan thought secretly: "After stepping into the Emperor Realm in the future, his divine body will be further perfected, and it wouldn't be impossible for his strength to rival the Abyss God Emperor and the Chaos God Emperor."
A top-tier Eternal Dao is the path to the very peak.
If the high-level God Kings of the Wan Dao Divine Court felt fortunate... then the high-level of the Starry Sky Divine Court felt some regret.
"Previously, the Chaos Divine Court invited us to join the war, and we actually refused."
"This!"
"It's a pity. If we had agreed at that time, we could have formed a deep friendship with King Xinyuan." King Brother Xing He sighed lightly.
As a peak God King powerhouse and the contemporary leader of the Starry Sky Divine Court, he deduced slightly and understood Li Yuan's potential.
A future God Emperor!
Although they were different forces... but for God Kings, even changing factions was not impossible.
If a deep friendship could be formed, it would have great use in the future.
"It's a pity, missed is missed." King Brother Xing He shook his head secretly; this was a choice.
Previously, when the Abyss Divine Court and the Chaos Divine Court were preparing for the God King War, just as the Abyss God King invited the Wan Dao Divine Court to join the war... the Chaos Divine Court also invited the Starry Sky Divine Court to join the war.
But it was refused by King Brother Xing He.
"Can't we join now?" King Mengyun couldn't help but say: "We can still join the war."
"Too late."
"Joining the war before was a case of seeing true feelings in adversity." King Brother Xing He shook his head: "Now, with King Xinyuan's strength, even if he is besieged by a large number of God Kings, it's hard for him to fall... The possibility of a God King War breaking out is actually already very low. If we talk to the Chaos Divine Court about joining the war now, it would at most be icing on the cake, and it would appear even more hypocritical."
"Then?" King Mengyun hesitated.
"Update the 'God King Ranking'." King Brother Xing He smiled: "List King Xinyuan as tenth on the God King Ranking."
"Tenth?" King Mengyun was surprised.
In the entire Divine Realm, adding up all the major forces, there were about twenty contemporary peak God King powerhouses... Li Yuan being listed as tenth after only one battle was a bit abrupt.
"Think it's high?"
"For most God Kings, getting a ranking based on only one battle is indeed a bit hasty." King Brother Xing He sighed: "But for King Xinyuan... he grows too fast; he is destined to become the contemporary first God King."
"Being listed as tenth this time, what does that count for?"
King Mengyun understood.
The news of this battle also quickly spread from within the Xinmeng Universe to more forces, and the Ziwu Universe also quickly learned of it.
"Peak God King? How long has he been cultivating?"
"Are we still joining this God King War?"
"Growing too fast, in the future, it is highly probable that he will be a God Emperor... Completely offending a God Emperor to death?" The six major forces within the Ziwu Universe were all a bit hesitant.
If Li Yuan only had the potential to grow to a peak God King or God King Perfection, they wouldn't be afraid at all.
But if he were a God Emperor?
It must be known that offending a contemporary God Emperor who has attained the Dao... is a very terrifying thing.
Because such God Emperors usually have enough time and patience.
For some ancient God Emperors, they have very little lifespan left, and what they seek is extremely great... They won't easily appear in the normal universe, and they won't care about some small grievances at all.
And Li Yuan, just by 'opening up a top-tier Eternal Dao in a thousand years', had already truly revealed the qualifications of a God Emperor.
"Give up."
"I represent the Beifu lineage, give up... I will send a message to the Chaos Divine Court that this battle has nothing to do with my Beifu lineage."
"Our lineage also gives up."
"Give up." Quickly, five of the six major forces in the Ziwu Universe chose to give up being enemies with Li Yuan.
Immediately, all the God Kings' gazes fell on King Jinhe, and they remained silent.
They all knew very well that this battle was originally caused by King Jinhe.
A long time passed.
"My 'Six-Headed Lineage' also gives up!" King Jinhe sighed lightly.
"Very good."
"Very good."
"We originally belonged to different universes, there was no need to be enemies at all. If we really have to say it, fighting to this extent is still our reason."
"If Fei Qian Yu hadn't gone to assassinate Xinyuan back then, it would have been fine."
"Yes."
"If it weren't for that little thing back then, I'm afraid so many God Kings wouldn't have died." Many God Kings spoke one after another, and in a flash, they dumped this big pot onto the 'Six-Headed Lineage' led by King Jinhe, making King Jinhe feel aggrieved, yet unable to refute.
"Everyone, rest assured, my Six-Headed Lineage has already discussed it and will be responsible for reconciling with the Chaos Divine Court to resolve this grievance." King Jinhe's heart was dripping blood.
Reconciling was just a nice way of saying it.
In reality, it was apologizing to resolve the grievance, and apologizing naturally meant paying a price, and this price could only be borne by himself.
After all, he was the one who agreed to it back then.
"Xiaoyue, you were the one who sent the message to King Chenmo back then." King Jinhe sent a message to another God King: "This time, you have to bear it with me."
"Jinhe, it has nothing to do with me."
"I was just introducing... the matter was decided by yourself, and you took those benefits." King Xiaoyue refused decisively.
Bear it together? Are you kidding?
King Jinhe hated in his heart, yet was somewhat helpless.
... Ziwu Universe, in a vast golden river, a gray-robed figure was sitting cross-legged in the river.
Suddenly.
The aura around him dispersed, becoming ethereal and unpredictable, hundreds of millions of rays of divine light rose, as if heaven and earth were sublimating together at this moment.
Hoo!
A powerful will was transmitted from the golden river: "Disciple, congratulations on comprehending the Space Law."
"Thank you, Teacher, for protecting the disciple." God King Fei Qian Yu was quite joyful: "This time, surviving a dead end was of great help to myself... Returning here, having a feeling in my heart, I actually broke through in one fell swoop."
God King Fei Qian Yu was indeed joyful.
Although he was a Ten-Star Pulse and destined to step into the God King Realm... but comprehending the Space Law in ten thousand years versus comprehending the Space Law in one hundred thousand years was still very different.
Like him now, cultivating for less than twenty thousand years to become a God King... not only represented that his comprehension was not bad, but on the other hand, it also represented that he had enough time to find his own path.
"Good thing." King Jinhe also felt much more comfortable in his heart.
Cultivating God King Fei Qian Yu for many years.
Now, Fei Qian Yu breaking through in one fell swoop and becoming a God King again... was truly blossoming and bearing fruit, and only then could he help him.
"Teacher, rest assured."
"When the disciple cultivates many star arts to the extreme and meets that Xinyuan again, I will definitely defeat him." God King Fei Qian Yu's low voice revealed a terrifying belief.
Clearly, in his heart, Li Yuan was an extremely important opponent, worth fighting with all his might to surpass.
This was also normal.
Who wouldn't be obsessed with the mastermind who killed them?
"No!" King Jinhe said immediately: "Disciple, do not have obsessions in your heart... You must never treat Xinyuan as an opponent, and don't blame him for your fall before, absolutely not."
"Why?" God King Fei Qian Yu was stunned; the teacher didn't have this attitude before.
King Jinhe was silent for a moment before sighing: "In these few hundred years, the gap in strength between you and him has not shrunk in the slightest, but has become even larger... He has already opened up a top-tier Eternal Dao and has peak God King strength."
Pausing.
King Jinhe then continued: "Even for the teacher, if I met him alone, the probability of falling would be extremely high."
"Just yesterday, King Xinyuan just killed four God Kings, including a Three-Step God King."
Silence!
God King Fei Qian Yu widened his eyes, lost in thought for a while... Xinyuan? Killed four God Kings? Top-tier Eternal Dao?
At this moment, a certain belief in God King Fei Qian Yu's heart began to collapse.
The news of the Star Sea battle being able to spread so fast was mainly due to the dissemination by the high echelons of the Chaos Divine Court.
No way!
Such an exhilarating battle, how could it not make the high echelons of the Chaos Divine Court excited?
And this news also spread among the Heavenly God group of the Chaos Divine Court.
"How long has he been a God King, and he can kill four God Kings?"
"Four God Kings."
"It's truly a miracle."
"I have read many classics and long ago discovered many patterns. Generally, Heavenly Gods becoming God Kings have to be silent for hundreds of thousands of years or even longer before they can erupt again... Clearly, the strength of God Kings progresses very slowly."
"But King Xinyuan does not belong to the convention." Countless Heavenly Gods of the Chaos Divine Court sighed.
Once upon a time, Li Yuan was a junior in their eyes.
Later, he belonged to the same rank as them.
Later still, he became a God King, making them have to look up... Now, even among the peak powerhouses of the Divine Realm, Li Yuan already stood at an extremely high level, looking down on many One-Step God Kings and Two-Step God Kings.
"Legend."
"Is there still any dispute about being the number one genius in the history of the Universe?"
"There shouldn't be anymore."
"It is our luck to be able to witness such a peerless monster rising in this world."
Far away in the Mohe Star Domain, Dongfang Ji, Liu Bing, and Fang Hai received the news from different channels and were all stunned.
A long time passed.
"Good!" Dongfang Ji revealed a smile, becoming even more brilliant.
"The gap between me and Big Brother has become even larger." Liu Bing sighed secretly. While feeling happy for Li Yuan, she also felt a sense of powerlessness.
She was still full of fighting spirit about stepping into the God King Realm.
But Li Yuan? He was already standing in the ranks of peak God Kings.
"My Qixing lineage has a higher and more stable status in the Divine Realm." Fang Hai was purely happy.
In the Xinmeng Divine Realm, in that divine palace, the many God Kings of the three great Imperial Palaces all came today.
"I did open up the prototype of the World Dao, but it has only been a short time, and my own strength is actually still quite far from a peak God King." Li Yuan said frankly: "Being able to have peak God King strength is by borrowing the array... This is my special permission within Beichen Star."
"I only erupted after confirming that killing King Hongjiu would not expose the secret of the array." Li Yuan explained in detail.
The God Kings of the Chaos Divine Court were trustworthy, and there was no need to hide too much.
"So that's how it is." Some God Kings suddenly realized.
"In other words, Xinyuan, relying on yourself, you are also a Three-Step God King in strength? That's scary enough."
"Top-tier Eternal Dao, that's not false." The God Kings of the Chaos Divine Court, although less shocked, still sighed.
Instead, they felt it was more real.
"Enough."
"At least, relying on you, Xinyuan, it is enough to gain a foothold in the Inner Domain of Beichen Star." King Xinjie rarely manifested a human form, and the smile was very beautiful, showing no signs of the true self falling at all.
"Xinyuan, what is your plan?" King Heishi asked.
Other God Kings also looked at Li Yuan. Since Li Yuan wanted to hide the matter of the array, there must be a reason.
"God King War." Li Yuan said without concealment: "I am prepared to give the Ziwu Universe and the Abyss Divine Court a hard blow... If I had exposed the secret of the array early, they would definitely have prepared with all their might, and I might not have been able to achieve the greatest ambush effect."
Many God Kings looked at each other.
They didn't expect Li Yuan to have such a big plan.
"With the strength you revealed today, let alone having our help, even if not... you alone, even if the Abyss Divine Court and the Ziwu Universe joined forces to besiege you, they might not be able to kill you. They might not even be willing to start a God King War." King Hunhai said.
"Yes."
"If it were me, I would definitely give up... Brother Xinyuan is good at domains, and his heart and will are so powerful, it's too hard to kill him." Other God Kings said one after another, agreeing with King Hunhai's words.
"Hunhai," Li Yuan smiled: "This God King War is what the Abyss Divine Court wants to provoke... They chose to start it, but does it mean they get to decide when it ends?"
King Heishi and King Hunhai both felt a stir in their hearts.
"If they don't accept the battle."
"Then, when the Beichen Star passage opens, we will attack the powerhouses of the two major forces coming out of Beichen Star." Li Yuan said: "If they accept the battle... then it's a God King War."
"Haha, right."
"They chose to start it... but whether it ends, we get to decide."
"Fight a battle."
"Having endured for so long, let's have a fierce battle. If they are unwilling to fight, then force them to fight." King Fengyan, King Huang Long, King Heitian, they all revealed killing intent.
"Fighting is not a problem."
"But even if Xinyuan has peak God King strength and is a great help... fighting two alone, we don't have absolute certainty." King Hunhai shook his head.
Previously, the Chaos Divine Court side was unwilling to accept the battle because they felt they didn't have much certainty.
After all, the overall strength of the Abyss Divine Court was very close to the Chaos Divine Court... plus the Ziwu Universe.
More losses than wins.
"I have two pieces of news here." King Dongmang smiled: "First, 'King Jinxu' of the Tianlong Divine Court sent a message... saying they are willing to come and join the war."
"Second, King Jinhe of the Ziwu Universe sent a message saying they are willing to pay '10,000 Eternal Crystals' as an apology to resolve the grievances between our two sides."
Many God Kings immediately revealed joy.
In this way, one increase and one decrease... the advantage over the Abyss Divine Court would be very great, and victory in this battle would be a certainty.
"However."
"I followed Xinyuan's suggestion and refused both." King Dongmang smiled.
"Refused?" King Heishi frowned.
"Why?" King Hunhai couldn't help but say.
King Dongmang looked at Li Yuan... Before this meeting of God Kings, the two of them had already discussed many details.
"I won't hide it from everyone." Li Yuan smiled: "There is still some time before the Beichen Star passage opens, my strength should improve quite a bit. By then, even if King Moyun's five avatars all arrive, I have the confidence to block him completely."
Boom!
All the God Kings were shocked; Li Yuan's tone was truly too big.
King Moyun, five avatars, each one was a peak God King strength... The five elements combined would make his strength soar.
It could be said that looking at the contemporary Divine Realm, except for King Xueyan, even King Brother Xing He and King Hunhai would not dare to say they could completely block King Moyun's violent attacks.
On the God King Ranking.
King Xueyan first, King Moyun second, was a proof.
"The Tianlong Divine Court wanting to join the war at this time won't have much impact on the battle situation, it will only make us owe them a favor." Li Yuan shook his head: "There's no need at all."
Reaching Li Yuan's level, he didn't care much about the friendship of God Kings from major forces in the Divine Realm.
"Then why refuse the goodwill of the Ziwu Universe?" King Hunhai frowned: "If we continue to be hostile to the two major forces, even if King Xinyuan has extremely strong strength, I'm afraid there will still be huge casualties."
Li Yuan also understood that it wasn't that King Heishi and King Hunhai were afraid of fighting... but that the two, as leaders of the Imperial Palaces, had greater responsibilities and had to consider more aspects.
"I didn't completely refuse King Jinhe."
King Dongmang smiled: "I just told King Jinhe that 10,000 Eternal Crystals are not enough."
"That was the price when Xinyuan had just become a God King."
"Now, if you want to resolve the grievances, it will take 100,000 Eternal Crystals!"
"In the end, King Jinhe was forced to agree." King Dongmang smiled: "Half of these Eternal Crystals will be handed over to the Divine Court treasury, and half will be given to Xinyuan. Everyone has no objections, right?"
"No objections."
"Can do." King Heishi and King Hunhai nodded, expressing approval, and other God Kings naturally had no objections.
They all knew clearly that the so-called resolving of grievances only meant not being hostile for the time being.
And what the God Kings of the Ziwu Universe feared was only Li Yuan.
And 50,000 Eternal Crystals into the treasury... would make the entire Chaos Divine Court stronger and would also benefit all the God Kings.
"There is one more thing."
"Xinyuan entered Beichen Star back then using the Divine Court's Heavenly God quota and once made a vow to hand over half of what he obtained in Beichen Star to the Divine Court." King Dongmang continued: "This time, Xinyuan has made many contributions and contributed so much, so this vow should be voided."
"Good." King Heishi and King Hunhai took the lead in speaking again, and other God Kings followed one after another.
No one opposed.
Any God King knew that Li Yuan must have had a great harvest on Beichen Star... but the highest authority of the Divine Court was in the hands of the God Emperor. Even if they didn't agree, with Li Yuan's status as a direct disciple of the God Emperor, it wouldn't be difficult to seek the God Emperor to lift this vow.
"The last thing for today's meeting of God Kings!"
"I propose that the next leader of the Juexing Imperial Palace be served by King Xinyuan." King Dongmang said slowly.
