Chapter 1533

"It is the Lord of Light."

"The Lord of Light actually appeared."

"…"

The other Heavenly Realm deities, upon seeing this, were all shaken.

The Lord of Light took one step forward, glanced at Lin Yan, who was locked in battle with the shadow, then looked up at the dozen or so Lords above.

"My lords, Flame Lord is an aberrant god. Are you still going to fight alongside him?"

The Lord of Light spoke sharply.

As soon as his voice rang out, several Lords above exchanged glances—clearly, these Lords had begun to hesitate.

The Heavenly Realm has stood for countless eons, with threats never ceasing; the greatest of these has always been the threat of aberrant gods.

The birth of every aberrant god could completely overthrow the Heavenly Realm's divine system—equivalent to a dynastic change, thrusting the Heavenly Realm into a new era.

Long ago, on the Continent of Gods, a powerful martial cultivator emerged, hiding for thousands of years until he reached the realm capable of slaying deities.

But that martial cultivator's vision was too narrow; after slaying deities, he believed himself invincible—and was promptly crushed by a second-tier deity with a mere flick of his hand.

No cultivation system is absolutely superior or inferior.

All paths lead to Rome; what matters is who climbs higher, goes farther!

In past eras, there were times when the entire world cultivated martial arts—but still, the shadows reaped them all.

And now that this is the Heavenly Realm's era, its deities naturally do not wish to be replaced.

Who wants to fade away?

Thus, the Heavenly Realm has always guarded against the emergence of aberrant gods, preventing them from growing strong and threatening the Heavenly Realm!

"If Flame Lord wins, the Heavenly Realm will be overthrown and become the domain of aberrant gods. If this shadow wins, this era will be reaped, and not a single deity will remain. Your only hope lies in aiding me to seize the Hall of Ten Thousand Deities. While Flame Lord and the shadow battle, I will allow the Light Law to transcend, achieving the Supreme Law—only then will the Heavenly Realm reach its greatest zenith. And I swear to you: from this day forward, I will never suppress the Heavenly Realm again!"

The Lord of Light spoke again.

The Heavenly Realm Lords exchanged glances—then Venerable Tianlan stepped forward, standing between Lin Yan and the shadow's battlefield and the Lord of Light, a long sword appearing in his hand.

Immediately after, the Goddess of the Sea and the Goddess of Life also stepped forward and took their positions there.

"Hmph, I knew the three of you would still side with Flame Lord. Without you, I can still succeed. Dimitrius, stop hiding. Flame Lord is an aberrant god—a threat to the entire world. Come out! Before an aberrant god, even the power of the Abyss is a force worth uniting with."

The Lord of Light snorted.

Clearly, seeing that the Goddess of the Sea, the Goddess of Life, and Venerable Tianlan had all chosen to stand with Lin Yan, while the other Heavenly Realm Lords remained silent, the Lord of Light decided to bring in the Abyssal Lord to pressure the rest.

"Since the Lord of Light extends the invitation, how could I refuse?"

A voice rang out.

Immediately, the Lord of Conspiracy, Dimitrius, appeared—and behind him stood the Lords of Despair and three other Abyssal Lords.

Lin Yan's status as an aberrant god had instantly shattered all of the Lord of Light's and the Lord of Conspiracy's plans!
