Chapter 901: Peeling Away the Layers! The White Robe Shenzhu

"Someone's taken the lead. Let's go see what they've got planned."

After receiving the message delivered by the Holy Spirit sent by the White Robe Shenzhu, other Shenzhu and the deities within their divine systems all set out.

Their gathering place was high in the sky of a divine realm adjacent to the Morning Star Divine Realm.

A vast number of deities acted in unison, carving out a circular, special space.

Within this space, the deities sat upon Wang Zuo, the Shenzhu occupying the elevated seats, while other deities sat below.

The distance between each deity was vast.

The topmost row seated a circle of third-tier Shenzhu.

Below them were the deities of the divine systems.

Below that were countless Holy Spirits.

Not all third-tier peak Shenzhu had come.

But those who arrived were still numerous.

Moreover, those who didn't come had mostly sent deities from their divine systems or Holy Spirits to investigate the situation.

"So many deities!"

One of the Holy Spirits whispered.

"I wonder if they can come up with a plan—after all, the opponent is a fourth-tier deity."

Another Holy Spirit said.

"Don't speak recklessly—you might anger a deity."

At that moment, a nearby Holy Spirit warned.

"Silence!"

At that moment, a powerful Holy Spirit among them pressed down a hand.

The multitude of Holy Spirits quickly fell silent.

The vast space instantly became utterly still.

Above, many Shenzhu wore veils of mist, obscuring their identities.

Beyond the Shenzhu, the deities below also had mist shrouding their faces and bodies.

"Cowards hiding their faces!"

In one Wang Zuo, the White Robe Shenzhu sneered inwardly.

Those deities obscuring their appearances clearly feared being recognized.

After all, what they were discussing now was ambushing a deity from a fourth-tier divine system—whether they acted or not, they risked provoking the Goddess of Eternal Night.

That was why they concealed their forms.

Seeing no new deities enter, the White Robe Shenzhu stood up.

Instantly, all eyes turned toward him.

His face bore no mist, allowing many to recognize his identity.

"Lan Xu Shenzhu of the Xu Lan Divine Realm!"

Someone whispered.

This White Robe Shenzhu was, in fact, the lord of the Xu Lan Divine System from the Xu Lan Divine Realm.

Saiya, the third-tier great deity killed by Lin Yan, had originated from the Xu Lan Divine Realm.

But Saiya had never joined this White Robe Shenzhu's divine system.

Generally, only a fourth-tier deity could establish a divine system that monopolized an entire divine realm.

The divine systems founded by peak third-tier deities were titans within a divine realm, but usually could not monopolize one entirely.

Of course, exceptions existed, since divine realms varied in size.

The White Robe Shenzhu stepped to the center and extended his hand, divine power surging within him.

He merely brushed his hand lightly.

And sealed the entire space completely.

"Enough talk. Our goal this time is simple: we don't want the other side to succeed. But our opponent is a fourth-tier deity."

The White Robe Shenzhu spoke bluntly.

Deities always spoke directly and without pretense—no one liked beating around the bush.

Some deities nodded slightly.

The White Robe Shenzhu said: "Now, what you fear most is surely the Goddess of Eternal Night?"

This time, fewer deities nodded. Though they indeed feared her, no deity would admit it in such a setting.

The White Robe Shenzhu didn't mind. He extended his hand, and instantly, the omnipresent holy light vanished, plunging the space into darkness.

Immediately, a star map appeared in the sky.

The star map contained exactly twenty stars.

Of these twenty, nineteen outer stars surrounded the single brightest star at the center like moons circling a planet.

"This is the Morning Star Divine System."

The White Robe Shenzhu said.

All deities present had studied the Morning Star Divine System and recognized it immediately.

"In the Heavenly Realm, divine systems are countless; some remain unnoticed for millennia without stirring."
