Chapter 1145: One Glance at Flame, a Lifetime of Regret! Team Up to Trick the Ancient God!

In the Heavenly Realm, stirred by scheming hands, the debate over whether Lin Yan or Venerable Tianlan was the top figure of the fourth tier grew increasingly fierce.

Many powerful gods saw the shadow of conspiracy in this.

"This is a case of flattering to destroy the Flame Lord!"

In one divine realm, a supreme god at the peak of the third tier said.

Flattering to destroy!

Flatter them high, then kill them!

Lift you up high—the higher you rise, the harder you fall!

"Most likely the work of the Flame Lord's enemies. Do not get involved—no matter which side, neither is something we can afford to provoke."

That peak-third-tier divine lord told the gods under his command.

"Yes, Divine Lord!"

The gods within the divine system all replied.

Many powerful divine lords sensed the early signs and ordered their subordinates to stay out of it.

Yet in the Heavenly Realm, the majority were not gods within divine systems, but lower-tier gods who had not joined any system.

These gods had little understanding of the Heavenly Realm's situation.

Though each had become a god, their wisdom was by no means low.

But that did not mean they could see through everything.

Especially when the information they possessed was relatively scarce.

Moreover, weren't there some gods secretly manipulated by the Ancient Gods stirring up the chaos?

In the Heavenly Realm, there was a divine domain exceptionally rich in resources.

This domain was also of considerable size.

Within this domain stood an immensely vast divine realm.

Here was Tianlan Divine Domain, the seat of the Tianlan Divine System.

The enormous divine realm visible to all was none other than the divine system of Venerable Tianlan, master of the Tianlan Divine System.

On the Continent of Gods, the Tianlan Empire was the number one empire, existing for an extraordinarily long time and possessing immense power.

It was said the Tianlan Empire's population already exceeded ten billion, and its territory stretched boundlessly.

Even aboard the fastest flying vessel, it took several days to travel from one end to the other.

"Zhuola, please announce me—I have something to report to the Venerable."

Before a magnificent palace, a tall goddess spoke to a holy spirit.

That holy spirit was clearly also female.

"Goddess Fei, the Venerable is still resting. Please wait a moment."

Holy Spirit Zhuola said.

Goddess Fei patiently waited outside the palace.

After a while, perhaps fearing she would grow bored, Holy Spirit Zhuola asked:

"Goddess, have you come because of the rumors outside?"

Goddess Fei said: "Yes."

Holy Spirit Zhuola said: "They're just rumors. The Venerable said the Heavenly Realm is full of hidden tigers and dragons—always maintain reverence. Who is strong or weak, let them fight it out!"

Goddess Fei's face darkened with anger: "But some gods, in their praise of the Flame Lord, have belittled the Venerable terribly—some even claim the Venerable isn't fit to carry the Flame Lord's shoes!"

Holy Spirit Zhuola's expression changed slightly: "No god would be so foolish, Goddess Fei. This incident likely has a shadowy hand behind it stoking the flames."

Goddess Fei said: "I suspected as much, but I'm furious—if I had enough power, I'd drag out both the shadowy hand and the Flame Lord and teach them a lesson! Make them understand the Venerable's might!"

As she spoke, Holy Spirit Zhuola was about to reply when suddenly a holy spirit rushed in.

"Commander Zhuola, the Yanzhizhu Sect has sent an envoy seeking an audience with the Venerable—they wish to speak with him face to face!"

The holy spirit said.

The Flame Lord!

Goddess Fei had not expected that the moment she mentioned the Flame Lord, he would appear.

Her expression changed instantly: "He actually wants to meet the Venerable!"

At that moment, Holy Spirit Zhuola's expression shifted—she had received the divine decree from Venerable Tianlan!

"Open the passage. Let the Flame Lord's envoy enter."

Holy Spirit Zhuola said.

"Yes, Commander Zhuola!"

The holy spirit departed.

"Zhuola, has the Venerable agreed to meet the Flame Lord?"

Goddess Fei asked involuntarily.

Holy Spirit Zhuola said: "The Venerable only said to let the Flame Lord's envoy in. Whether he will meet the Flame Lord himself, I do not know!"

Goddess Fei gazed beyond the divine realm.

There, a female holy spirit flew in through the realm's passage, swiftly arriving before the massive palace.

Holy Spirit Zhuola stepped aside, and the female holy spirit flew inside.

Goddess Fei remained outside the palace, not leaving.

Soon after, the female holy spirit emerged, spoke a few words to Holy Spirit Zhuola, then went to the square outside the palace and began to pray.

Meanwhile, Goddess Fei sensed that within Venerable Tianlan's divine realm, an invisible barrier vanished for several seconds.

And during those few seconds, a passage opened above the head of the female holy spirit sent by the Flame Lord.

"The Lord of Flames has directly descended into the Tianlan Zunzhu's divine realm!"

The Goddess Efe's heart was instantly filled with astonishment!

Even as she was astonished, she was curious—what kind of god was the Lord of Flames?

Though she had already seen the Lord of Flames' appearance through the marks left by other gods, she had never seen the Lord of Flames up close!

The next moment, the Goddess Efe saw a man with a face like a polished jade and eyes like a starry sky step out from that passage!

Even though she already knew the Lord of Flames' appearance, how could a divine power simulation compare to reality?

Instantly, the Goddess Efe felt a wave of presence rushing toward her from the Lord of Flames.

Under the impact of that presence, the Goddess Efe's mind froze instantly; all scenery in her eyes vanished, leaving only the Lord of Flames!

Her earlier resentment toward the Lord of Flames, stirred by rumors, vanished completely!

"Respected Lord of Flames, the Zunzhu awaits you in the palace—please enter."

At that moment, Commander Zhuola's voice sounded.

The Goddess Efe's gaze remained locked on the Lord of Flames, and even after he entered the palace, she had not yet returned to herself.
