Chapter 1381

The day after the ten major gods gathered their wills, a massive stone stele hurtled into the centermost divine realm of the Heavenly Realm.

This divine realm, usually devoid of life, was now already guarded by countless holy spirits.

"Here it comes—the War Stele!"

One holy spirit said.

"Boom!"

The massive stele crashed down, smashing a huge crater into the Heavenly Realm's earth!

In an instant, the ground split open and shattered rocks flew everywhere!

When the dust cleared, the waiting holy spirits saw that the massive stele had surfaced with countless characters.

The holy spirits all gazed at it.

"Sunset Fortress, Lord of War, Light Master God..."

One holy spirit read aloud.

"Here!"

Another holy spirit said.

In that holy spirit's line of sight appeared a line of text: "Stonekeep Fortress, Life Goddess, Ocean Goddess, Lord of Flame!"

"Lord of Flame is at Stonekeep Fortress!"

A holy spirit's face lit up with joy, as if it had come solely to learn which fortress Lord of Flame guarded.

"Send this news back."

The holy spirit immediately began praying.

Nearby, many other holy spirits were just like it.

Countless holy spirits transmitted the stele's information to their gods!

At this moment, outside the Elf Divine Realm, as the backlash from the cosmic laws ended, the number of gods increased once more.

"The Light Master God's power is formidable—I'm going to the Sunset Fortress where the Light Master God's will resides. What about you?"

A second-tier god asked the god beside him.

The neighboring god replied: "No, I'm going to the Stonekeep Fortress where the Lord of Flame's will resides."

"Are you mad? This time, the Lord of Flame can barely save himself—you'll only get caught in the crossfire."

The earlier-speaking second-tier god exclaimed.

Beside them, a third-tier god-lord said: "In every war between the Abyss and the Heavenly Realm, it hardly matters which fortress you choose—but this time is different. Last time, even the master gods barely lifted a finger. This time, the Abyss's master gods will absolutely intervene. Stonekeep Fortress will be extremely dangerous. If it were me, I wouldn't go there."

"Stonekeep Fortress has three master god wills guarding it, and the Lord of Flame is so powerful—he might still create a miracle and defeat all enemies. So I'm still going to Stonekeep Fortress."

"Powerful? So what? The Lord of Flame is merely a newly ascended master god. The others have far more time and experience..."

Outside the Elf Divine Realm, countless gods argued over which fortress to join.

Many gods, recently shaken repeatedly by Lin Yan, suddenly decided to go to Stonekeep Fortress.

But others deemed Stonekeep Fortress too dangerous and refused to go there.

"Let's go—we have no choice."

Among these gods, Tianlong, Lord Tianfeng, and Ziyun God-Lord exchanged glances and began to depart.

Now that they knew Lin Yan's fortress, they could only go there.

They had no intention of quarreling with other gods; silently, they returned to their own divine realms and began summoning their divine lineages, strengthening their holy spirits, and preparing for war with all their might.

In this war between the Abyss and the Heavenly Realm, every god who held a realm on the Continent of Gods must participate.

Gods without realms could escape this disaster.

Some newly ascended gods need not join.

And those who had voluntarily abandoned their realm's laws would certainly not emerge.

Of course, if any god feared death, they could simply abandon their realm and opt out of this war.

Meanwhile, countless gods were flocking toward powerful divine lineages.

Especially those led by fourth-tier gods—these lineages often needed cannon fodder, so as war approached, they would temporarily gather batches of gods.

The entire Heavenly Realm began to mobilize at full speed for this war.

On the Continent of Gods, small bands of demons had begun appearing, and sporadic battles had already erupted across various realms.

The Life Goddess and Ocean Goddess had arrived earlier at Stonekeep Fortress and began reinforcing its defenses.

After they departed, Lin Yan summoned the Goddess of Eternal Night.

"Nina, here's this dress for you."

Lin Yan handed the Goddess of Eternal Night a white long dress.

The Goddess of Eternal Night took the dress.

The white dress emitted a cold, clear light in her hands, like moonlight.

The entire dress was incredibly light, yet in truth, it was woven from a small portion of "Dark Gold" and some "Frost Gold."

Both were divine substances: "Dark Gold" was heavy, while "Frost Gold" was extremely light.

Lin Yan melted the "Dark Gold," pressed it thin, and fused it with the "Frost Gold" to create this dress.

This dress was equivalent to a master god's armor!

With this dress, even an ordinary law-lord's attack could be blocked by the Goddess of Eternal Night.

In addition, Lin Yan had prepared for her an inner armor and an outer armor.

The divine substance in this dress was still limited; though it could repel ordinary law-lord attacks, it primarily defended against divine energy strikes. If a law-lord struck with a weapon, it could still inflict grave harm.

With the thicker outer and inner armors, she would be utterly secure!
