Chapter 1155

A day passed, and more and more gods arrived in the Elf Divine Realm.

A massive number of gods crowded into the Elf Divine Realm.

Some gods had missed Lin Yan's celebration, and also missed the most spectacular battle during the celebration, which they had originally regretted.

So now, upon learning that the god attempting to reach the fourth tier was Vevila, the elf goddess of the Flame Lord's divine system, those who had not attended the celebration all set out.

They all came to watch the spectacle.

Such a huge commotion naturally caught the attention of the Ancient Gods.

The Ancient Gods had existed for such a long time that they had cultivated many spies within the Heavenly Realm.

The Ancient Gods threatened all gods with potential to become Main Gods, but posed little threat to ordinary gods.

They had no interest in dealing with ordinary gods.

Offering sufficient benefits to some ordinary gods still allowed them to find plenty of gods willing to serve them.

In fact, many ordinary gods knew very little about the Ancient Gods.

However, after the great battle at Lin Yan's last celebration, some information about the Ancient Gods leaked out, giving the gods of the Heavenly Realm a deeper understanding of them.

Yet, the more they learned, the more they realized how terrifying the Ancient Gods were.

And the more they realized how powerful the Flame Lord was.

High in the Heavenly Realm, a region filled with countless shattered stars.

The wills of several Ancient Gods clashed once more.

"I just received word that a god in the Flame Lord's divine system has attempted to reach the fourth tier."

One Ancient God's will spoke.

"Fourth tier? If I recall correctly, the Flame Lord's divine system, including himself, already has two fourth-tier gods."

"If this one succeeds, it will be the third—but apart from the Flame Lord, the other two fourth-tier gods are not worth worrying about!"

Two Ancient God wills spoke in succession.

A fourth-tier god posed virtually no threat to them.

"Perhaps you should take a look at this."

The first Ancient God's will transmitted some information.

"Huh? The Elf Goddess?"

One Ancient God's will emitted a surprised sound.

"How is that possible!?"

Immediately, the same Ancient God's voice rang out again, filled with disbelief.

Not just him.

The surrounding Ancient Gods all grew uncertain and alarmed.

Clearly, the information transmitted by the first Ancient God's will had stunned even these Ancient Gods, who had existed for countless years!

After their shock, silence immediately fell over the place.

None of the Ancient God wills spoke again.

They were processing the news they had just received.

The entire region grew eerily still.

More than ten minutes passed before one Ancient God's will finally spoke:

"What do you think?"

"Taboo!"

Another Ancient God's will uttered those two words in a low tone!

"Correct. The Flame Lord must possess highly advanced taboo techniques. If so, his past identity was likely even higher than we imagined."

"Could he be the one severely wounded on the Day of Divine Death?"

One Ancient God asked.

"Uncertain."

Another Ancient God replied.

"No need to debate the Flame Lord's possible past identity. The fact that he possesses such taboo techniques means his own power must have risen terrifyingly fast—he has only reached the fourth tier for less than a year, yet he has already mastered the power of cosmic laws. More crucially, his power is growing increasingly compatible with the current Heavenly Realm. Do you know what that means?"

The first Ancient God's will paused here.

No Ancient God answered him.

This Ancient God's will continued: "It means that if the Flame Lord truly is that one, or a being of equal rank, he may reach his peak in a short time—and before we can react, launch an assault on Main God status. Though he will face heavy opposition when attempting Main God status, the risk is too great. If he succeeds, our situation will be a hundred times worse than it is now!"

The Ancient Gods fell silent again.

"Speak up—what should we do?"

After a long while, the first Ancient God's will spoke.

"If we act, the risk is too great. I suggest we observe first. After all, all information about the Elf Goddess Vevila is merely speculation by the gods of the Heavenly Realm. An elf goddess who has existed for thousands of years might have been concealing her true strength."

Another Ancient God said.

Lin Yan was right.

Vevila alone was not enough to make these extraordinarily cautious Ancient Gods act.

The Ancient Gods had existed for too long; when they first attacked Lin Yan, they had been extremely arrogant.

But that was only because they believed they had Lin Yan cornered.

Yet once Lin Yan's power far exceeded their expectations, they became extraordinarily cautious.

"Observe first. Send agents to investigate every detail about Vevila. Also, instruct your subordinate gods to intensify their provocations. If the Flame Lord's power truly surges forward, I will return to my realm, reclaim all my strength, and personally kill the Flame Lord! If I fail, you can still awaken those few others!"

A powerful Ancient God spoke.
