Chapter 892: Shocked! The Goddess of Light Has Started Overthinking Too!

"There's a possibility, but it doesn't make sense—why only half a minute of fluctuation?"

Another top-tier third-layer deity spoke.

"This level of power clearly belongs to a fourth-layer deity; it's unlikely he could ascend successfully within half a minute?"

A third top-tier third-layer deity spoke again.

"Let's go take a look."

The first deity to speak said.

These deities all flew out of the sun.

At this moment, the square-faced deity was fleeing at full speed toward the Heavenly Realm.

"Almost there!"

The square-faced deity thought.

Yes, he was about to break free of the spatial lockdown.

As he fled with all his might, terrifying energy fluctuations surged around him.

These terrifying energy fluctuations spread out, causing the deities near the space gate to grow wary.

To the deities near the space gate, the square-faced deity's furious charge suggested he might be coming to cause trouble.

And the energy fluctuations on him were so terrifying, far exceeding their own.

"Look! That's the Lord of the Beidou Pantheon—a top-tier third-layer deity indeed; he's already entered the sun so early!"

One deity recognized the square-faced deity and said.

"Lord Beidou's speed is incredible—wonder what he's up to."

One deity curiously said.

Immediately, this deity noticed that Lord Beidou's expression was frantic—as if… fleeing for his life!

This realization startled the deity.

A top-tier third-layer deity fleeing for his life?

"Impossible!"

Even the deity himself thought it impossible.

In the Heavenly Realm, a top-tier third-layer deity who doesn't act recklessly and avoids provoking a fourth-layer deity— who could make them flee?

And as long as a top-tier third-layer deity hasn't lost his mind.

They would never provoke a fourth-layer deity in the first place!

"Get out of the way!"

Far off, the square-faced deity—Lord Beidou—spotted the space gate.

He showed a look of relief.

Passing through this space gate would let him escape the region entirely and return to his divine realm.

In his haste, Lord Beidou unleashed divine power and roared, causing many weaker deities to stagger.

"Move aside!"

The deities near the space gate scattered quickly.

Lord Beidou charged toward the space gate at terrifying speed.

Just as he was about to reach the space gate, his expression suddenly changed.

Because beside the space gate, he saw Lin Yan!

"Trouble!"

Lord Beidou's face turned pale.

As a pantheon lord, he could easily guess how Lin Yan had arrived here.

But Lin Yan's spatial lockdown was too broken.

He couldn't even open a channel back to his divine realm.

Nor could he open a faith channel.

With enough time, he might still break through the spatial lockdown.

But the problem was, he had no time to do it.

Lord Beidou immediately stopped and shouted: "Lord of Flame, this was our transgression! I, Bei, offer ten thousand high-grade divine stones as atonement! Please spare me—I swear there won't be a next time!"

Lord Beidou's pantheon, named after himself, had few members—only eight deities.

Lord Beidou's words shocked over a hundred deities beside the space gate.

Each stared at Lin Yan with utter disbelief.

"So he really was fleeing for his life!"

The deity who had earlier sensed something wrong with Lord Beidou drew a deep breath.

Then he turned his gaze to Lin Yan.

Only a top-tier third-layer deity stronger than Lord Beidou—or worse, a fourth-layer deity—could make him flee.

And all the deities near the space gate had witnessed Lin Yan charging into the sun before the third wave of Luminous Tides!

Originally, these deities weren't sure whether Lin Yan had been injured or how strong he truly was.

Now, they were certain.

Lin Yan had not been injured at all!

And Lin Yan's power… was terrifyingly immense.

"Not third-layer—he's fourth-layer!"

The deity thought with certainty!

The combat strength of gods at the peak of the third tier also varies in power.

But to allow a third-tier peak god-lord to escape, and to withstand the third wave of Radiant Tides unscathed—

Such a god can only be of the fourth tier!

"I never expected I'd actually see a fourth-tier god!"

The god's heart stirred with excitement.

In the Heavenly Realm, the proportion of fourth-tier gods is extremely small.

Not only relatively, but absolutely as well, their numbers are exceedingly few.

Moreover, many fourth-tier gods never show themselves in ordinary times.

Many gods have lived for thousands or even ten thousand years without ever seeing a single fourth-tier god.

Yet now, this god, merely of the first tier, had encountered a fourth-tier god!

He couldn't help but be excited.

Near this spatial gate, many gods held the same thought.

All the gods at this spatial gate had witnessed Lin Yan's strength.

Therefore, they were now the most certain of Lin Yan's realm.

Many gods grew somewhat excited.

Some gods even wondered whether they might speak to Lin Yan later.

Even… join his divine system.

For ordinary gods, joining a divine system means surrendering a portion of their faith-power gains, but the benefits are obvious.

First, he gains a patron.

The Heavenly Realm is relatively peaceful, yet conflicts never cease.

Having a patron is entirely different from having none.

Take the gods of the former Hellin Kingdom and Hutton Kingdom—if the Eternal Night Goddess had already established her divine system back then, and they had joined it—
