Chapter 1376: The Supreme Deities

"What's that noise?"

In the Heavenly Realm, countless deities sensed it.

"It's coming from the Gorge!"

One deity said.

"The Abyss has come!"

A supreme deity at the peak of the third tier extended a hand and swept it through the air.

Instantly, an image appeared in the sky!

In the void, a massive passage had been opened, and from it poured countless demons, surging toward the nearby Heavenly Realm Gorge!

As soon as the demons rushed into the Gorge, they were shredded by winds emerging from nowhere.

But these demons feared neither death nor pause; every second, millions of them poured out of the massive passage.

The demons that emerged each seemed drugged with euphoria, frenziedly charging toward the Heavenly Realm Gorge.

Within the Heavenly Realm Gorge, terrifying storms continuously swept through; the faster the demons rushed out, the faster they died.

Yet as the number of emerging demons kept increasing, they used their own corpses to forcibly carve a path through the Heavenly Realm Gorge!

This path extended relentlessly in the direction of the Heavenly Realm.

"Demon army!"

Seeing this, one deity said grimly.

In recent times, the news that the Abyss was about to surge upward was no secret.

Many deities had long been preparing for war.

The war between the Abyss and the Heavenly Realm, once every ten thousand years, was, in the eyes of the Supreme Deities, merely a tacit game between the Supreme Deity of the Heavenly Realm and the Supreme Deity of the Abyss.

But for ordinary deities, it meant immense danger!

Countless deities would not survive this war.

These deities were precisely the ones the Heavenly Realm's Supreme Deity wished to consume!

Otherwise, given the current trend, the Heavenly Realm would soon reach an unprecedented peak of prosperity.

And the Abyss was nearly overflowing as well, so the Abyss's Supreme Deity had no objection to sacrificing vast numbers of demons and demon lords to drain the Heavenly Realm's strength.

Without this war, the Abyss's Supreme Deity might have had to act himself to reduce the Abyss's burden.

Almost all deities were stirred.

Deities gathered in small groups; those who had never experienced the war between the Abyss and the Heavenly Realm flocked toward those aged over ten thousand years.

"The passage has opened, but to cross the Sea of Boundaries and reach the fortresses will still take time. Prepare to enhance the Holy Spirits' power and await the Supreme Deity's divine decree!"

One supreme deity said.

"Beside the Heavenly Realm Gorge are three fortresses, each guarded by the will of a Supreme Deity. You may freely choose which fortress to go to. The Supreme Deities won't intervene unless absolutely necessary, and their opponents will only be other Supreme Deities. So, no matter which fortress you choose, the difference is negligible!"

Another supreme deity said to those who had never experienced the war.

"I'm going to the fortress guarded by the Will of the Flame Lord."

At that moment, one deity said.

"The Flame Lord? Are you trying to die? This time, the Flame Lord is definitely the target of the Abyss's Supreme Deity."

Immediately, another deity said.

The speaking deity hesitated.

"The backlash of the laws is so severe—can the Flame Lord even survive?"

Another deity said.

The earlier speaker lifted his head, gazing at the vast divine realm high in the sky; in his perception, that divine realm remained the epicenter of the storm.

The Flame Lord's aura leaked not a single trace.

But suddenly, the deity felt that no matter how fierce the storm, it might not be able to harm the Flame Lord at all.

The deity made his decision: "I've decided—I'm still going to the fortress guarded by the Will of the Flame Lord."

In the Heavenly Realm, with the opening of the Abyss-Heavenly Realm passage, countless deities shifted their attention away from Lin Yan's divine realm and began discussing this war.

Yet many deities still kept watch over Lin Yan's divine realm.

"Of the three fortresses, this war will finally reveal the Heavenly Realm Supreme Deities' true stance."

The ancient Law Lord hidden in the shadows murmured to himself, staring at Lin Yan's divine realm.

This war between the Heavenly Realm and the Abyss, the ancient Law Lord had no need to join.

He had long lost his realm on the Continent of Deities.

Without a realm, and with his concealment so tight, as long as he didn't show himself, even Supreme Deities could not find him.

He had hidden in the Heavenly Realm for countless years—why would he reveal himself for a war that came once every ten thousand years?

He had seen too many such wars.

They were merely Supreme Deities playing chess—he had no intention of becoming a pawn.
