Chapter 904

You must understand that in the region where the White-Robed God Lord's empire lies on the Continent of Gods, the empires are all packed close together, making expansion extremely difficult.

【1】 In the region where the White Robe Divine Lord's empire on the Continent of Gods lay, empires were packed tightly together, making expansion extremely difficult.

Each expansion would likely require a prolonged divine war.

【2】 Each expansion might require a long and grueling Divine War.

And their divine kingdoms have already taken shape, so developing a new kingdom in a new location simply isn't cost-effective.

【3】 Their realms were already established, and carving out a new nation elsewhere was not worth the cost.

In truth, their divine radiance is nowhere near saturated.

【4】 Their divine radiance had, in fact, not reached saturation at all.

But if they could conquer the Eternal Night Empire, their options would multiply.

【5】 But if they could conquer the Eternal Night Empire, their options would multiply.

At that point, whether they occupied it themselves or let a deity from their divine pantheon take it, the White-Robed God Lord could reap enormous gains!

【6】 At that point, whether he claimed it himself or assigned it to a deity within his divine system, the White Robe Divine Lord would reap massive gains!

He could also take the opportunity to expand his pantheon and make it even more formidable.

【7】 He could also use the opportunity to expand his divine system, making it far larger.

"Half? Lord Lanxu, aren't you being a bit too greedy?"

【8】 "Half? Lian Xu Divine Lord, you're being absurdly greedy!"

The moment the White-Robed God Lord finished speaking, a god lord expressed his displeasure.

【9】 No sooner had the White Robe Divine Lord finished speaking than another Divine Lord voiced discontent.

"Then it's simple—go probe the Eternal Night Goddess's true strength yourself, will you? I can give you half, after all everything we've discussed is merely speculation. Without probing clearly, no one will dare to act."

【10】 "Then it's simple—you go test the Eternal Night Goddess's true strength? I'll give you half. After all, everything said so far is mere speculation; no one dares strike without clear proof."

The White-Robed God Lord replied immediately.

【11】 The White Robe Divine Lord replied at once.

That god lord faltered.

【12】 That Divine Lord fell silent.

He truly didn't dare to probe.

【13】 He truly dared not test it.

Although the evidence the White-Robed God Lord provided made this god lord feel that the Eternal Night Goddess really might only be a peak third-tier deity,

【14】 Although the White Robe Divine Lord's evidence made him believe the Eternal Night Goddess might indeed be merely at the peak of the Third Tier,

what if she wasn't?

【15】 but what if she wasn't?

Besides, who knew whether the White-Robed God Lord had forged the star charts to deliberately trap them?

【16】 Besides, who knew if the White Robe Divine Lord had forged the star chart to trick them?

Therefore, that god lord would never go probe her himself.

【17】 So that Divine Lord would never dare go himself.

"See? You don't dare probe her yourselves, yet when I'm willing to do it, you think I'm being too greedy. Why don't you consider this—the Eternal Night Empire hasn't even been taken yet, and if the Eternal Night Goddess succeeds, how great your losses will be."

【18】 "Look—you dare not test it yourselves, yet when I'm willing to, you call me greedy. Why don't you consider that you haven't even seized the Eternal Night Empire yet? And if the Eternal Night Goddess succeeds, how great will your losses be?"

The White-Robed God Lord added.

【19】 The White Robe Divine Lord spoke again.

"Fine, I agree to your proposal."

【20】 "Fine, I agree to your plan."

At that moment, a god lord who had remained silent spoke up.

【21】 At that moment, a Divine Lord who had remained silent spoke up.

"I agree as well."

【22】 "I agree too."

Another god lord chimed in.

【23】 Another Divine Lord spoke.

One after another, more and more god lords voiced their agreement.

【24】 Soon, more and more Divine Lords voiced their agreement.

"That's more like it. Well then, I'm off!"

【25】 "That's right! Then I'm off!"

The White-Robed God Lord said calmly.

【26】 The White Robe Divine Lord said coolly.

"No holy spirits have come. They're likely discussing countermeasures. Everyone, stay alert and don't reveal any weaknesses!"

【27】 "No Holy Spirits have arrived—they're likely strategizing. Stay alert! Don't leave any openings!"

At the border of the Morning Star Divine Domain, the female holy spirit Timothy said after laying down a barrier.

【28】 At the border of the Morning Star Divine Realm, the female Holy Spirit Moxi said after setting up the barrier.

The holy spirits around her all nodded.

【29】 The Holy Spirits around her nodded.

At that moment, a terrifying surge of energy rippled through the sky.

【30】 At that moment, terrifying energy fluctuations echoed from the sky.

"Not good—a deity is attacking!"

【31】 "Danger! A Divine Lord is attacking!"

Timothy's expression changed.

【32】 Moxi's expression changed.

"Prepare for battle!"

【33】 "Prepare for battle!"

Even though they were merely holy spirits facing a deity, they showed no fear in their defense of the Eternal Night Goddess!

【34】 Though they were Holy Spirits and the enemy was a Divine Lord, to defend the Eternal Night Goddess, they were utterly fearless!

However, the enemy came too fast. Before they could react, the attacker had already charged into the Morning Star Divine Domain.

【35】 But the enemy came too fast—they hadn't even reacted when he surged into the Morning Star Divine Realm.

"Eternal Night Goddess, Lord Lan already knows your true strength—prepare to die!"

【36】 "Eternal Night Goddess, I, Lian Xu, now know your true strength. Die!"

The arrogant voice of the White-Robed Lord Lanxu rang out from the sky.

【37】 From the sky rang the arrogant voice of the White Robe Lian Xu Divine Lord.

Immediately after, Timothy and several other holy spirits saw a terrifying energy storm barreling toward the Eternal Night Goddess's divine kingdom.

【38】 Immediately after, Moxi and several Holy Spirits saw a terrifying energy storm surge toward the Eternal Night Goddess's divine realm.

"Not good!"

【39】 "Danger!"

Timothy's expression changed again.

【40】 Moxi's face paled again.

"All holy spirits, return to the divine kingdom and prepare to engage the enemy!"

【41】 "All Holy Spirits, return to the divine realm and prepare to fight the enemy!"

Timothy and the other holy spirits swiftly returned to the divine kingdom.

【42】 Moxi and the Holy Spirits swiftly returned to the divine realm.

And within the divine kingdom, a great number of holy spirits were already standing ready in formation.

【43】 Inside the divine realm, countless Holy Spirits stood ready in formation.

"How dare you!"

【44】 "How dare you!"

Just as the terrifying energy storm was about to crash into the divine kingdom, a cold, clear voice rang out from within.

【45】 As the terrifying energy storm neared the divine realm, a cold voice rang out from within.

Immediately after, a phantom figure suddenly appeared. The figure reached out and, with a gentle pat, dispersed the terrifying energy storm.

【46】 Instantly, a spectral figure appeared, extended a hand, and with a light slap, dispersed the terrifying energy storm.

After dispersing the energy storm, the phantom struck again, sending a palm strike toward the White-Robed Lord Lanxu.

【47】 After dispersing the energy storm, the spectral figure struck again, slashing a palm toward the White Robe Lian Xu Divine Lord.

"Excellent!"

【48】 "Come on then!"

The White-Robed Lord Lanxu likewise struck out with his palm.

【49】 The White Robe Lian Xu Divine Lord countered with a palm strike of his own.

When the two palms met, Lord Lanxu immediately lost his footing and staggered back several steps.

【50】 When their palms met, Lian Xu Divine Lord staggered, unable to stand firm, retreating several steps.

"Truly powerful indeed. But you are absolutely not a fourth-tier god lord. Where are the other deities in your pantheon? Fellow god lords, what are you waiting for? Strike with me!"

【51】 "Indeed powerful—but you're certainly not a Fourth-Tier Divine Lord. Where are the other deities in your divine system? Fellow Divine Lords, what are you waiting for? Attack with me!"

Lord Lanxu's voice echoed throughout the entire Morning Star Divine Domain!

【52】 Lian Xu Divine Lord's voice echoed throughout the Morning Star Divine Realm!

"I'll aid you!"

【53】 "I'll aid you!"

The moment Lord Lanxu finished speaking, another peak third-tier god lord stepped out from the void. A terrifying surge of energy shook the space around him—he had clearly pushed his power to its absolute peak.

【54】 No sooner had Lian Xu Divine Lord finished speaking than another peak Third-Tier Divine Lord stepped forth from the void, terrifying energy fluctuations shaking the space—he had clearly pushed his power to its absolute peak.

"I'm coming too!"

【55】 "I'm here too!"

More god lords emerged.

【56】 More Divine Lords emerged.

Clearly, the White-Robed Lord Lanxu's earlier probe had completely convinced them of his deduction!

【57】 Clearly, Lian Xu's earlier probe had convinced them utterly of his deduction!

If the Eternal Night Goddess truly were a fourth-tier deity, Lord Lanxu would now be either dead or gravely wounded!

【58】 If the Eternal Night Goddess were truly a Fourth-Tier Divine Lord, Lian Xu would be dead or grievously wounded now!

Moreover, not a single one of the other nineteen deities in the Morning Star pantheon had been seen!

【59】 Moreover, none of the other nineteen deities in the Morning Star Divine System had been seen!

"This is bad—the goddess has been exposed. Everyone, evacuate the divine kingdom and leave this place!"

【60】 "Danger! The Goddess has been exposed! Everyone, evacuate the divine realm and flee!"

Moxi said.

In the divine realm, a great number of female divine spirits moved to act.

When the Divine Realm of the Goddess of Eternal Night was constructed, this day had already been anticipated.

So its movement was also remarkably swift.

But even with such speed, it was utterly impossible to leave this place in a short time.

In the sky, at least five Divine Lords appeared, and more Divine Lords continued to descend through their divine spirits.

Once these Divine Lords confirmed the truth of the situation, their attacks were decisively launched!

In addition, there were over twenty deities!

So many deities launched an assault upon the Divine Realm of the Goddess of Eternal Night simultaneously.

"Goddess, we need time!"

Moxi shouted loudly.

At this moment, a figure of unmatched grace and beauty flew out from within the divine realm; she formed a seal with both hands, and terrifying energy waves surged from her body.

Then, with a sudden forward strike, she alone blocked every single attack of the deities.

"Fourth-tier divine power? I have it too!"

White Robe Lan Xu once again activated that single drop of fourth-tier divine power, whose origin was unknown.

But after the Goddess of Eternal Night blocked all attacks with one strike, her full power surged again; her vast divine realm instantly sealed shut, and without knowing what mechanism she triggered, the entire divine realm leapt violently into the void and vanished from this place.

If someone on the Continent of Deities happened to look at the Star Chart of the Morning Star Pantheon, they would see that the brightest star in the Morning Star Pantheon had disappeared.

And at the moment this star vanished, several nearby stars also went out!

The Goddess of Eternal Night had sacrificed the exhausted divine realm energies of several fallen deities nearby to rapidly propel her own divine realm away.

This technique bore strong resemblance to the Rule Slingshot used by the Star God Holington in the past, yet the Goddess of Eternal Night's method was incomparably more refined.

"She escaped—chase her! She expended so much power that breaking through will take at least two months; she won't get away!"

White Robe Divine Lord snorted.

"Correct. The ripples she caused will grow larger and clearer—deploy all divine spirits and track her down as soon as possible!"

Another Divine Lord said coldly.

"Notify the nations of the Continent of Deities: mobilize all armies and attack the Eternal Night Empire!"

White Robe Divine Lord added.

On this day, the Goddess of Eternal Night, despite being surrounded by several Divine Lords, still escaped with her divine realm.

What followed would be a prolonged chase.

But on this day, the temples of over ten great empires on the Continent of Deities received divine oracles!

This oracle left some high priests stunned.
