Chapter 1112: Shaken! Void Flame! The Eternal Night Goddess

In the Heavenly Realm, news of the battle in the Elven Divine Domain spread like wildfire.

The ancient gods lurking within the Heavenly Realm naturally all learned of it.

In the endless heights of the Heavenly Realm, in a region filled with shattered stars, several powerful wills collided once more.

"Neil and Ruogai—unless something unexpected happened, they've both been killed by the Flame Lord!"

A powerful will spoke.

"The Law Force… do you believe it's real?"

Another will said.

"It must be real. I've seen the battle's residual traces. Neil had already unleashed Ancient God power and Ancient God armor. With the strength of that armor, the Flame Lord could not have cut through Neil's Ancient God body and armor with just a dark-gold sword—unless he wielded Law Force."

A third will said.

"Yes, Neil's Ancient God hammer was also sliced open. The Flame Lord must have used Dark Law Force. In my guess, that's probably not even his strongest ability."

A fourth will said.

"It seems the Flame Lord's divine body can only activate Law Force once. Then how did he kill Ruogai? With fire?"

The first will posed another question.

"Without witnessing the battle firsthand, it's hard to say. Ruogai fled to the Void Lands in the end, but it doesn't look like he escaped."

The second will said.

After these words were spoken, silence fell over the place for a brief moment.

Clearly, though the tone of these ancient god wills was calm, their hearts were far from tranquil!

Yet these ancient gods concealed their emotions tightly.

Nearly fifteen minutes passed before another ancient god will spoke again:

"Enough. Now, let's discuss what we should do."

"First, let's assess how far the Flame Lord still is from becoming a Primordial God."

Another will said.

"That depends on his past identity and accumulated foundation. Both Light and Dark Laws already have their masters; the Flame Lord cannot become a Primordial God through Dark Law. His greatest strength should be fire, yet he has not shown any Fire Law ability. In my estimation, the Dark Law he wields was likely acquired by accident…"

One ancient god made a guess.

As ancient gods, they possessed vast knowledge of the world.

Thus, this ancient god's guess was remarkably accurate!

Lin Yan's Dark Law was indeed acquired by accident.

"He still has a considerable distance to go before reaching Primordial God status."

Finally, that ancient god said.

"He has already mastered Law Force—he's not easy to eliminate. The cost to kill him now would be too high, unless those few awaken from their slumber… Let's wait. Lie low. Observe the Flame Lord's next progress before deciding. If the Flame Lord truly advances swiftly toward the Primordial God threshold, it might even benefit us—because then, those who move against him won't be just us."

Another ancient god said.

"Good. The Abyss seems poised for major action. Let's send someone to the Abyss to spread news of the Flame Lord. The more enemies the Flame Lord has, the more opportunities we gain."

"To reach the Abyss now, we must pass through the Dark Abyss Prison. Who still has a Dark Holy Spirit?"

"I do…"

"If the Abyss truly moves against the Heavenly Realm, we might find new opportunities…"

"Then it's settled!"

In this region, the wills of these ancient gods fell silent.

They had quietly departed.

As ancient gods, the powers they wielded differed significantly from those of the current Heavenly Realm.

The growth of every ancient god's power had become extremely slow.

Precisely because their powers differed, the difficulty of them becoming Primordial Gods was immense.

The more Primordial Gods the Heavenly Realm produced, the more its Laws diverged from the powers the ancient gods controlled, making the ancient gods' own power growth even harder.

This was why they spared no effort to prevent the birth of Primordial Gods.

For them to become Primordial Gods, they would have to abandon all their power and start over from scratch.

But even the weakest ancient god possessed Fourth Tier power—no ancient god would willingly discard their entire strength.

The risk was too great.

The enemies of the ancient gods were no small number.

Over the ages, to prevent new Primordial Gods from being born, the ancient gods had amassed too many enemies.

In the Heavenly Realm, when you are strong, all your enemies hide deep, daring not to reveal even a trace.

But once you lose your strength, you'll find enemies everywhere—on all sides!

Weakness is always the greatest sin!

It's the same everywhere, only the forms of expression differ slightly.

In the Heavenly Realm, discussions over the battle in the Elven Divine Domain lasted for days!

More than half the gods in the entire Heavenly Realm were profoundly shaken.

For a time, nearly half the Heavenly Realm buzzed with Holy Spirits and gods discussing the Flame Lord.

During Su Xing's ascension battle, Lin Yan had already demonstrated extraordinary strength!

He slew seven Divine Lords, and ultimately even killed Tianlan Zunzhu!

At that time, Lin Yan was already famous across half the Heavenly Realm!

That was why so many gods attended his celebration!

Yet, in the eyes of many gods, Lin Yan still had considerable gaps compared to true veteran Fourth Tier beings.

The most obvious truth is that the Flame Empire is currently ranked ninth!

Ahead of the Flame Empire, there are still a full eight other empires!

Under normal circumstances, the ranking of empires on the Continent of Gods also reflects the strength of a deity!

Occasionally, there are exceptions—such as the former Eternal Night Empire—but such exceptions have occurred only once in tens of thousands of years!

So, some deities did not attend Lin Yan's celebration.

But now, these deities have suddenly realized.

Lin Yan has mastered the power of cosmic laws and has slain two immensely powerful Ancient Gods!

This is both astonishing and terrifying!

This has led some deities to believe that the Lord of Flame may not be inferior to the established fourth-tier deities.

Perhaps… he may even surpass them!

Meanwhile, Lin Yan's title of "Number One of the Fourth Tier" has spread far and wide.

A large number of deities agree, believing Lin Yan deserves this title.

But a few deities do not agree, arguing that the Heavenly Realm is filled with hidden dragons and tigers, and it is too early to call Lin Yan the number one.

A handful of deities even sneered in contempt.

In short, the Heavenly Realm has erupted into an unprecedented grand debate.

Lin Yan has truly become famous throughout the Heavenly Realm!

Even in the hearts of those deities who believe Lin Yan does not deserve the title of "Number One of the Fourth Tier," his weight has long since become unrecognizable from before!
