Chapter 902

The White-Robed Divine Lord spoke again.

In this space, all the gods watched him in silence, and no one replied.

The White-Robed Divine Lord waved his hand, and instantly, the star chart in the sky changed.

There were still twenty stars, but their positions were completely different; though still relatively clustered, they no longer formed the pattern of stars surrounding the moon.

"Divine Lord Lan, which star chart is this?"

One god asked.

"This is the star chart of the Morning Star Divine System—but five thousand years ago. Oh, by the way, it may not even have been called the Morning Star Divine System back then."

The White-Robed Divine Lord said.

That god fell silent, knowing the White-Robed Divine Lord had more to say.

"Every god strives to enhance their own power; few are willing to spend time understanding others, except their rivals. In the study of star charts, it is the people of the Divine Gods Continent who are more focused—even though many of them live only a few hundred years, they persist generation after generation."

The White-Robed Divine Lord spoke again.

Many gods looked puzzled, unsure of what the White-Robed Divine Lord was getting at.

"This is the result of five thousand years of star chart research by astrologers in my nation on the Divine Gods Continent. Coincidentally, their star chart included the Morning Star Divine System. Now, I will compress these five thousand years into five minutes—please observe!"

After speaking, the White-Robed Divine Lord stood with his hands behind his back.

He made no visible motion, yet the star chart in the sky began to change.

The positions of the stars did not shift.

What changed was the brightness of the stars.

The stars' brightness seemed to be dimming.

Yet the dimming was extremely slow; to an ordinary human, it might be imperceptible.

But all present were powerful gods.

The gods naturally noticed.

Time passed slowly.

Finally, three and a half minutes had passed.

In the gods' observation, the stars' brightness had dimmed by at least fifty percent.

Then all the gods noticed that one star in the center suddenly flickered out.

Immediately after, that star lit up again.

Since the White-Robed Divine Lord had compressed a thousand years into one minute, this flicker and return appeared as if the star had blinked.

Some Holy Spirits had not even noticed.

But all the gods had seen it.

Then the star chart changed again.

The positions of several stars began to shift.

From a scattered mess, they transformed into the pattern of stars surrounding the moon.

This change lasted exactly one minute, then stabilized completely, matching the current Morning Star Divine System's star chart exactly.

And the star that had blinked now occupied the center, its brightness increasing steadily over time.

The surrounding stars continued to dim, but at an extremely slow rate—so slow that even the gods could barely perceive it.

Finally, five minutes had passed.

The star chart's transformation ended, yet no god in this space spoke; each was pondering the meaning of the changes.

The White-Robed Divine Lord also remained silent.

"Divine Lord Lan Xu, was the star chart transformation just now truly the Morning Star Divine System?"

After a minute, one Divine Lord spoke calmly.

The White-Robed Divine Lord said: "Correct!"

"The Morning Star Divine Realm is remote, with no powerful divine systems nearby. In the Heavenly Realm, the Morning Star Divine System has never caused major disturbances. The only time the Goddess of Eternal Night ever acted was a thousand years ago."

Another Divine Lord said.

"Yet the Goddess of Eternal Night rules a top-ten empire on the Divine Gods Continent—the Eternal Night Empire—with over two billion people, vast territory, and immense strength. But the Eternal Night Empire is only a thousand-year-old empire, and it chose to expand in the remote northern region of the continent, encountering no overly powerful opponents throughout its entire expansion."

That Divine Lord added.

The White-Robed Divine Lord looked at him: "Correct, Divine Lord Yunzhu. I, Lan, am unworthy—my nation has existed for over five thousand years, yet my rank is outside the top thirty."

Divine Lord Yunzhu said: "You recognized me?"

The White-Robed Divine Lord said: "Of course."

Divine Lord Yunzhu said: "Divine Lord Lan Xu, stop teasing. State your speculation."

The White-Robed Divine Lord chuckled: "My speculation is simple: the Goddess of Eternal Night is not a fourth-tier goddess, and the Morning Star Divine System does not exist—it is merely a dead star region. But the Goddess of Eternal Night happened upon it and discovered several entrances to divine realms. Using the resources of these divine realms, she rapidly reached the peak of the third tier and successfully disguised herself as a fourth-tier god!"

"And now, the god breaking through into the fourth tier is not one of the Morning Star Divine System's gods—it is the Goddess of Eternal Night herself!"

The White-Robed Divine Lord declared firmly.

His words instantly sent every god and Holy Spirit in this space into uproar!
