Chapter 1257: The Master of the Five Great Principles! The Great War Begins!

In the Spirit Divine Realm, Lin Yan's divine realm had become the focal point of the entire Heavenly Realm!

It could be said that every deity in the Heavenly Realm had been stirred!

There was no way not to be stirred!

The commotion was too great.

The disturbance at the level of the Dao principles could even be felt on the Continent of Gods.

Yet, at the level of the Dao principles, the weaker a lifeform, the less clearly it perceived the disturbance; the stronger the being, the clearer its perception.

Thus, ordinary beings on the Continent of Gods merely felt something was amiss—every single one sensed that some great, unknown event was unfolding, yet none knew what kind of great event it was.

But in the Heavenly Realm, every deity could clearly sense that trembling.

And now, two tremors were merging together.

The trembling at the level of the Rules and the trembling at the level of the Dao principles were occurring simultaneously!

The trembling at the level of the Rules was known to nearly all deities—it meant a deity was assaulting the fourth tier.

The trembling at the level of the Dao principles had originally been incomprehensible to most deities.

But now, any deity who reached the Spirit Divine Realm—or sent a Holy Spirit there—would know this meant the Flame Lord was assaulting the rank of Supreme Deity.

Every newly arrived deity was stunned.

Even though Lin Yan's successive actions had left these deities nearly numb from constant shock.

Yet now, upon learning Lin Yan was assaulting the rank of Supreme Deity, each newly arrived deity still felt profound shock!

Yet within the Spirit Divine Realm, countless deities had already withdrawn from Lin Yan's divine realm.

Last time, when the Sub-Deity body of that Dao Lord had acted, its power had been terrifying and nearly swept up countless deities.

And that had merely been a test.

Once another Dao Lord who mastered the Flame Dao principle officially intervened—or if an Ancient God arrived—getting too close to Lin Yan's divine realm would be no good thing.

A clash at the pinnacle level, even a single ripple, was no joke.

Thus, in the Spirit Divine Realm now, virtually no deities remained.

All deities had withdrawn from the Spirit Divine Realm and summoned their divine power to observe Lin Yan's divine realm from afar.

Some deities had not even descended at all, instead letting their Holy Spirits linger around the Spirit Divine Realm, preferring to expend energy to project their gaze inward.

It was safer that way.

"I wonder if we'll witness the birth of a Supreme Deity this time."

One deity murmured.

The thought of possibly witnessing a Supreme Deity's birth made his gaze burn with intensity.

But he knew that possibility was vanishingly small.

No Supreme Deity had been born in countless eons.

"To be honest, I'm destined never to become a Supreme Deity—but if I can witness one's birth, it's still not without merit. Still, even with the Flame Lord's immense power, I still think his chances are too slim. The Heavenly Realm has gone countless eons without a Supreme Deity because too many hidden Dao Lords exist, not to mention the Ancient Gods, and the Abyss is about to surge upward."

Nearby, another deity said.

His mindset mirrored that of many deities.

For deities who had spent vast amounts of time reaching the first or second tier, many saw their life's only hope as becoming a Fourth-Tier Venerable.

They didn't even dare hope for Dao Lord status.

Supreme Deity?

They had self-awareness.

Many deities knew clearly that even with more time, they might never become a Supreme Deity.

So they were actually glad to witness a new Supreme Deity's birth!

It would be a lifelong topic of conversation for them!

"I wonder when the Flame Lord's enemies will arrive—I truly hope to see him unleash his divine might, slaughter all foes, and crush every opponent!"

Another deity, imagining the scene, grew excited.

He himself could never accomplish such a thing, yet he hoped Lin Yan could.

That would bring him immense satisfaction!

"Huh? What's that?"

No sooner had the deity spoken than a vast amount of water suddenly appeared within the Spirit Divine Realm!

The water arrived too swiftly.

In mere moments, the entire Spirit Divine Realm had become a flooded wasteland!

"Where did all this water come from?"

One deity said.

"The Flame Lord's enemy has likely arrived!"

Another deity's expression turned solemn.

"The Lord of the Seven Seas has come!"

Venerable Tianlan immediately guessed who had summoned the water.

"Water Dao principle—so the Lord of the Seven Seas truly intends to strike against the Flame Lord?"

In the void, a hidden Dao Lord rejoiced inwardly.

Though he could not fathom why the Lord of the Seven Seas, who had no conflict with Lin Yan, would attack him.
