Chapter 1007

Although Fourth-Rank deities can manifest avatars in the Fourth Stage of the Holy Realm.

But the avatars that descend are ultimately time-limited, and this method is also extremely wasteful of power.

Having a powerful Holy Realm ruler stationed within one's own domain is clearly far more reassuring.

And another point: the faith energy contributed by such a Holy Realm is terrifying.

A Third-Rank Holy Realm contributes as much faith energy as several kingdoms combined.

Moreover, such a Holy Realm becomes exceptionally powerful after ascending to godhood; if they have already contributed faith on the Continent of Gods, they can rapidly grow within their own divine system and become trusted lieutenants!

Deities within a divine system, if cultivated by oneself, are undoubtedly far more useful.

Know that not only do deities at the peak of the Third Rank face ambushes when breaking into the Fourth Rank.

When Fourth-Rank deities strive toward the High Realm…

That ambush is truly ferocious!

The entire Heavenly Realm could be turned upside down!

It might even draw in the Abyss!

Yet, such an event—Fourth-Rank deities striving toward the High Realm—has not occurred in countless years.

Many Heavenly deities have never even heard of it.

But this does not prevent Fourth-Rank deities from preparing in advance.

Even if they will not strive for it for hundreds of thousands of years, the earlier they prepare, the greater their chance of success.

And among these preparations, the most important is having one's own people.

They must have sufficient loyal followers to protect themselves.

The Goddess of Eternal Night suffered this time because she lacked her own divine system; otherwise, her divine realm would not have been so easily tracked down.

A divine realm driven by a deity is a completely different concept from one driven by a holy spirit.

Empress Tina prayed over and over again.

In this process, her heart began to grow increasingly devout.

This was something Empress Tina had long prepared for.

She already understood the Flame Lord well enough and had sufficient identification with him, so she must make herself even more devout to successfully sign the Holy Maiden Pact!

Yet, she received no immediate response.

Although Empress Tina worried for her sister, she continued praying with sufficient patience.

Soon, one minute passed.

"You have two minutes left!"

In the Heavenly Realm, the Fourth-Rank deity spoke calmly.

On the Continent of Gods, the avatar of the Fourth-Stage Holy Realm remained silent.

Empress Tina continued praying.

"She is praying to my god!"

On the other side, Meng Ying heard Empress Tina's prayer!

Around Empress Tina lay Meng Ying's refracted space, so while others' deities could not hear her voice, Meng Ying could.

Meng Ying's eyes widened; she finally understood why Empress Tina had gone to the Flame Empire!

And why she had sought to understand her god and repeatedly shown goodwill!

"My god may not have heard her prayer—I must help her."

Meng Ying thought.

In Meng Ying's view, this was possible, because in her eyes, her god was unlike other deities.

Her god might not even listen to the prayer of a Holy Realm.

So Meng Ying began to pray as well.

After Meng Ying prayed, another minute passed.

"You have one minute left!"

In the Heavenly Realm, the Fourth-Rank deity spoke again in a calm voice.

Before him, the Goddess of Eternal Night's aura had grown increasingly powerful.

The Fourth-Rank deity seemed to know her choice, but he made no sign.

He stood there calmly, like a true sovereign.

He had said three minutes—so it would be exactly three minutes.

Time passed second by second.

Finally, the last thirty seconds arrived.

"Thirty seconds!"

The Fourth-Rank deity said.

"Farewell, Tina!"

On the Continent of Gods, the voice of the Goddess of Eternal Night, bidding farewell, echoed in Empress Tina's ears!

"Sister!"

Empress Tina could not help crying out.

And at that moment, a grand, vast, infinitely powerful voice finally appeared in her mind:

"Yes!"
