Chapter 783: Xia En's Abnormal Movements

"We're just leaving like this?" Mo Duo frowned slightly, looking down at the planet below.

"After we leave, the God of War will definitely think of a way to descend here again. They probably won't survive."

"Then I have no other choice. I've done what I can." Li Yu shrugged, then looked at Mo Duo with some curiosity: "Since when did you become so merciful? Didn't you inherit the Divine Power of the God of Death?"

"Merciful?" Mo Duo furrowed her brows tightly. Inexplicable surprise flickered in her scarlet pupils. She felt that Li Yu might have misunderstood something.

Subsequently, she added: "The methods of Divine Spirits are unpredictable, and the Power of Faith is almost a universal Energy. It's highly likely there are other methods to learn your Identity."

"Anyway, the God of War will eventually destroy this place. It's better if we just act directly."

"Uh..." Li Yu was momentarily stunned, and then inexplicably wanted to laugh. He really had overthought it just now.

"No need. I've already cleared the remaining traces. Even reversing time won't reveal any clues." Li Yu looked down at the planet and said: "As for this planet, that will depend on its own fortune."

Hearing this, Mo Duo finally felt at ease. If the news of the Dragon Sovereign appearing here spread, it would inevitably attract the attention of the entire God Council.

"What was your original plan?" Li Yu thought for a moment and asked Mo Duo in return.

"I originally planned to find Xia En. He had people spread news about me, forcing me into a situation where I had to flee for my life. I won't easily let him off." Killing intent flickered in Mo Duo's eyes.

Li Yu immediately became amused and said: "Heh, we both thought of the same thing. We truly have a Telepathic connection."

"Since we're already here, then let's get everything we need to do done." Li Yu pondered.

Xia En was a crucial core of the plan, related to the Supreme Forge. Naturally, he wouldn't turn a blind eye.

……………

God Council — Domain of the Lady of Night. In the void-like Starry Sky, a large number of Divine Spirits were gathered.

All around were giant projection screens with blurry edges. They weren't ordinary mechanical projections.

In the screens, a large number of fanatic Believers were prostrating on the ground, their expressions devout, continuously praising the name of a certain Divine Spirit.

And right in the center of the many Faith Projections, a glowing human figure stood tall in the Starry Sky.

All around were spherical mechanical satellites covered in Energy Circuits, extending densely packed chimney-like devices, pulling out milky-white energy threads.

At the same time, the Energy Circuits on the surface flickered non-stop like breathing. This seemed to be some kind of energy circulation and conversion equipment.

This was Faith purification and conversion equipment. Without this equipment, the minor distracting thoughts of lifeforms carried within the Power of Faith would be enough to drive even Divine Spirits into madness.

It was just that under normal circumstances, this equipment wouldn't be used on such a large scale.

Violent purification and conversion would consume most of the Power of Faith, equivalent to wasting it for nothing.

It would only be used when there was a need to catalyze the birth of certain Divine Spirits.

And today, under the command of the great Lady of the Night, the powerful, loyal, and valiant Nightmare God was receiving an Advancement once again. He was only one step away from obtaining his own Divine Realm.

His Advancement speed was staggering, causing many Divine Spirits to feel jealous inwardly.

Right in the center, the glowing human figure was placed in the center of the Faith vortex created by the equipment.

His body swallowed the surrounding Faith like a whale, pulling out colorful streams of Faith. The texture was like fluttering sheer fabric, and also like changing smoke, looking dreamy and illusionary.

At the same time, one could see Night Warriors engaged in slaughter.

After an unknown amount of time, the human figure seemed to reach a state of saturation, gradually stopping the absorption of Faith. The brightness of his body lowered, and the Faith was locked within his body, no longer emitting outward.

In the next moment, Xia En opened his eyes. Light shot out from his eyes, and after a second, it was retracted.

His body moved, abruptly transforming into a shooting star and flying out. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he descended from the sky and hovered above the gods.

"Nightmare God."

Reverent calls sounded, and the gods all lowered their heads.

At this time, Xia En controlled his body to descend. The Holy Maiden of the Night — Hel slowly walked over and said:

"Congratulations, you really didn't disappoint me."

Xia En nodded slightly. Looking at his posture, he seemed to respect this Saintess very much.

Even though his theoretical Status now was much higher than the other party's.

"Mother is already waiting for you, come with me." Hel led Xia En away from here.

Only then did the many Divine Spirits dare to discuss in low voices.

"What a lucky kid, getting involved with the Saintess. The Lady of the Night has already allocated a massive amount of Faith for his Advancement."

"Yes, the speed of his Advancement is too astonishing."

There were many benefits to following a Councilor. One of them was that the Councilor could adjust your Status in the Divine Pantheon at any time, gathering a massive amount of Power of Faith in a short period of time to achieve rapid breakthroughs.

However, the cake was only so big. If you went up, others would come down.

"If you could help the Lady of the Night capture over two hundred Missionary Grounds, I believe the Lady of the Night would also highly value you."

There were also those who rebutted on Xia En's behalf, seeming to hold him in high esteem in their words.

Hel led Xia En to a Temple of the Night. The two remained silent along the way.

After bringing him here, Hel withdrew, leaving him alone.

Looking at the Lady of the Night in the center of the temple, Xia En half-knelt on the ground, praising the Lady of the Night.

Accompanied by the blooming of wisps of nether divine radiance, the scene around him also changed, and the Lady of the Night appeared before him.

Xia En didn't raise his head, only saying in a deep voice: "Thank you, My Lord, for the grace of saving my life, and the bestowal of Faith!"

"No matter..." The Lady of the Night's voice was clear and ethereal, continuing: "You fight for me and have outstanding Merit. The reward is deserved."

"Only, why did the Old Ones suddenly attack you?"

Xia En's expression didn't change as he shook his head and said: "I don't know either. I've never dealt with them."

"Perhaps, attacking me was just a pretext."

"You mean, their target is me?" The Lady of the Night was shrouded in Black Mist. From Xia En's perspective, he couldn't see anything.

"We can't rule out this possibility, otherwise I can't think of any other reason," Xia En said in a deep voice.

The Lady of the Night was Noncommittal. After a moment of silence, she suddenly said again: "Are you secretly targeting that God of Death?"

"Yes." Xia En was exceptionally frank: "I have a grudge against her."

"That's all in the past. You are no longer Xia En now, but my Nightmare God, understand?" The Lady of the Night's voice poured into Xia En's ears like a Morning Bell and Evening Drum.

"I understand..." Xia En lowered his head in response.

The surrounding Black Mist gradually disappeared, and the last sentence entered Xia En's ears:

"The God of Fury died by her hands. She has temporarily disappeared for now."

"Thank you, My Lord!" Xia En's expression was tight. After standing up, one still couldn't see any changes in his expression.

Subsequently, he silently left this temple. Hel was still waiting outside. The two didn't exchange any words and stepped onto the streamlined black Spaceship.

Only after thoroughly distancing themselves from here did Hel abruptly prostrate at Xia En's feet, her expression exceptionally fanatic: "Congratulations, you are one step closer to the seat of a Councilor."

Xia En looked down at Hel at his feet, his expression indifferent: "It's still early. Contact The Empire."

"Yes..."

Hel stood up and took out a set of special Communication Equipment from the Spaceship. Accompanied by a long white noise, someone finally responded: "Secret Code."

Xia En stated a string of special codes. After a moment, the voice said: "Your Royal Highness, please give your orders."

"Record this: I have recovered from my heavy injuries. The Lady of the Night still trusts me. I am preparing to return to the battlefield again. When necessary, The Empire needs to cooperate with me," Xia En narrated.

"Understood!" A muffled response quickly came from the other side.

"Also..." He paused and continued:

"How could the God of Fury die by Mo Duo's hands? Mo Duo couldn't possibly be his opponent. There must be a problem, go investigate."

"Also... what about Li Yu? What is he doing?"

The God of Fury was a powerful Divine Spirit under the God of War whose name could definitely be ranked.

But Mo Duo was merely a Divine Spirit who inherited a portion of the God of Death's lingering Divine Power. Because she was exposed too early, she didn't even have time to spread Faith. How could she possibly kill the God of Fury?

And the only one he could think of who could contact Mo Duo and even back her up was Li Yu.

"We also don't know what Your Excellency Dragon Lord is doing. He hasn't shown up for a very long time."

Hearing this, Xia En's face didn't look very good. Every time he heard the two words "Dragon Sovereign", he felt a grinning Demon surface in front of him.

Clearly an enemy of The Empire, and also his enemy, yet now he was brazenly coming and going as he pleased within The Empire, and was feared and revered by the people of The Empire.

"How did the High Echelon discuss my previous proposal?" He asked again.

"Your Royal Highness, Mo Duo is an important person connected to Your Excellency Dragon Lord. It's very inappropriate for the Star Glory Empire to make a move," the person on the other side responded.

"Inappropriate!?" Xia En's face turned exceptionally gloomy.

"Additionally, Her Royal Highness Aenius has a message for you."

"Speak!"

"There is no hatred that cannot be resolved."

Xia En's face changed slightly. To think that even his elder sister didn't support him anymore.

He could understand. Li Yu's Strength was now powerful, the Other-Dimensional Camp had profound foundations, and he was in a cooperative state with the Star Glory Empire. It was very normal not wanting to offend him.

But did they have to look ahead and behind just to deal with a Mo Duo!?

If they dealt with Mo Duo, would Li Yu start a war with the Star Glory Empire?

Was she worth it?

The Empire didn't even dare to make this kind of probe? How could they be cowardly to this degree?

Xia En didn't express his anger and dissatisfaction to a messenger, merely ending the communication with an icy expression.

He stood rooted to the spot for a long time, murmuring something unknown.

There is no hatred that cannot be resolved?

Easy to say.

It wasn't them who suffered humiliation!

Standing from a rational perspective, he knew that turning enemies into friends with Li Yu was the best choice.

But the problem was, if they really turned enemies into friends, his mind truly couldn't find peace!

If he didn't vent this anger, no matter how high his Status or how strong his Strength became, he would still feel aggrieved and helpless when he thought about it.

A cold light flashed in his eyes, seeming to have decided on something.

Then, he took out a Withered Yellow Sun Emblem from somewhere, with some Energy flowing on it.

Accompanied by a bizarre incantation, a peculiar light burst forth from this Emblem, projecting a blurry image. It was very difficult to distinguish what exactly was in the image.

"Have you thought it through?" A hoarse voice came from the image, like the sound of two bones rubbing together.

"We can cooperate, but you need to help me do one thing." Xia En stared at the projected image.

"What thing?"

Xia En spat out a sentence: "Kill the new God of Death that appeared not long ago."

The other party fell silent for a moment and said: "Not long ago, the God of Fury who was hunting her died. No one knows where she went."

"Others can't investigate it, but your Old Ones can't investigate it either?" Xia En asked in return.

"You know who is behind her. We don't want to Provoke Trouble with the Dragon Sovereign at this point in time." The other party was still somewhat hesitant.

"What Bullshit Dragon Sovereign!" Xia En was like an enraged lion, his eyes full of spewing killing intent: "Have you forgotten, this is the God Council. Who dares to cause a ruckus here?"

"Even if it's the so-called Other-Dimensional Camp, do they dare to come in!?"

"You were once supreme Divine Spirits, and even you don't dare!?"

The person speaking on the other side of the image didn't rebut or refute because of Xia En's anger.

What he said did make a certain amount of sense. Twelve Councilors meant twelve Super Lifeforms; this number was too frightening.

Although due to special reasons, it was very difficult for them to extend their tentacles to places outside the God Council.

But similarly, exactly because of this, others shouldn't even think about coming in.

Whoever came in, had to die!

No matter how intense the Divine War got, this Domain allowed no outsiders to interfere!

"You're thinking of things too simply," the other party said lightly.

Xia En's expression sank. Even the Old Ones didn't dare to make a move?

"However, what you said does make a certain amount of sense. It's not that easy for outsiders to enter the God Council. With twelve Councilors present, no matter what reason the Other-Dimensional Camp has, they won't allow the other party to intervene."

Only then did Xia En's expression ease. The Old Ones took a big pause, he thought the other party had chickened out.

"But, we also need you to cooperate with one thing." The other party's tone shifted again.

Xia En looked slightly displeased: "You were the ones who approached me."

"Cooperate or not?" The other party asked in return.

Xia En snorted coldly, before saying: "Speak."

Subsequently, amidst the other party's narration, Xia En's expression flickered brightly and darkly, faintly carrying some shock as well, not knowing what he had heard.
