Chapter 801: Left With No Alternative

The Divine Throne Battle was still ongoing. Over a dozen hours had passed since their entry, and the period had been fraught with complications and perilous situations. However, the current situation was basically settled.

"It seems this God of Death is going to win..."

"Yeah, she's too fierce. When did such a powerful deity suddenly appear under the Venerable of Fate?"

"If she wins, won't there be two God of Death Councilors?"

"..."

A portion of the deities discussed fervently, their eyes filled with envy and hatred.

After all, winning the Divine Throne Battle meant becoming a new Councilor.

Of course, there was another portion of the deities focusing on the current situation before them.

Some conflicts had clearly erupted among the Councilors, seemingly directed at the unpredictable Venerable of Fate, and involving that so-called Dragon Sovereign.

In all fairness, they really did not want to fall out with the Venerable of Fate.

This guy's seniority was indeed very high, and some of the Councilors present owed him a favor to varying degrees.

If they were directly exposed like the Solar Councilor, they would inevitably become a massive laughingstock in the future.

And since the lifespans of deities were extremely long, who knew how many years that would circulate?

However, accompanied by spatial undulations, dazzling light emerged from the void, radiating endless light and heat like a star in its prime.

The surrounding Starry Universe continuously heated up as a result. The Solar Councilor was the first to descend!

He sat upright on a Divine Throne. It was not an illusion, but a true Divine Throne.

Only at this moment did these deities possess an aura that was eternal and indestructible, overlooking the shifting galaxies.

Golden spheres floated around him, from which devout chanting could be clearly heard, while a massive sun floated behind him.

A river of faith pierced through the Starry Universe, flowing over his body.

Immediately after, silent murmurs echoed in the ears of the gods again.

Some of the weaker deities even recalled the nightmares of the past from the times before they had ascended to godhood.

Thick black mist swept through the Starry Universe, faintly carrying the roar of warhorses. The Nightmare Councilor had also descended!

The God of War and the Lady of the Night followed suit, their true bodies descending one after another with their Divine Thrones in tow.

Under these circumstances, they could utilize their strongest combat power.

The true body of the Divine Forging Master was the first to descend. Beside his hunched body floated a Crimson Great Hammer that was completely disproportionate to his size.

"This is a matter between you all. I do not wish to interfere." The God of Death Councilor shook her head, her gaze still fixed intently on Mo Duo.

Life and death fusion—she wanted to achieve it too!

This matter wasn't simply about forging a life Divinity Core, but about creating a fundamental fusion.

Compared to the threats these guys were making against Destiny, she was much more interested in finding out how that little one had done it.

The other Councilors held similar attitudes and did not want to get involved.

"This is no longer just a matter between us and the Venerable of Fate." The Divine Forging Master spoke, unsurprised by the current situation before him. "I have a way to terminate this Divine Throne Battle."

"The Venerable of Fate has violated the principles of the God Council by colluding with an outsider, even intending to make that person the thirteenth Councilor."

"This Divine Throne Battle should be invalidated and restarted!"

"Terminate the Divine Throne Battle and restart it?" The remaining Councilors immediately cast suspicious glances.

If the Divine Throne Battle could be terminated, they didn't mind putting in some effort.

After all, once this Divine Throne Battle was terminated, they could cultivate another batch of people to fight for the Divine Throne again.

And the Divine Forging Master had precisely grasped this mentality of theirs, which was why he proposed this suggestion.

"Sorry about this, Destiny..." Several Councilors who usually had a decent relationship with the Venerable of Fate spoke up one after another, and then descended with their true bodies without hesitation.

In the blink of an eye, this patch of the Starry Universe was filled with all sorts of dazzling radiance. Many deities fell into an excited state.

After all, a situation where the Councilors gathered like this was exceedingly rare.

"That's right. This barrier is formed by thirteen Divine Thrones, and its strength is extremely high. It's essentially unbreakable." The Venerable of Fate still insisted on his own thoughts, but then became somewhat suspicious:

"But whether the combined strike of eleven Councilors can break it or not, I am also unsure. After all, there's no precedent for this."

"Unsure..." Li Yu shot a speechless glance at the Venerable of Fate.

The Venerable of Fate was also very innocent. Originally, he had been very certain, but seeing the confident demeanor of the Divine Forging Master, he also started to have some doubts.

"How many people do you have available?" the Venerable of Fate asked.

"Three Super Lifeforms..." Li Yu estimated.

"Three... counting me, and counting Mo Duo after she succeeds, that makes five..." The Venerable of Fate pondered. "Five against eleven, that's somewhat difficult."

"The three on my side are all wielding Titan Artifacts..." Li Yu added, which made the Venerable of Fate pause before saying, "Then that can be counted as eight against eleven. There's a chance of success."

"Right, didn't you say you would let the people from the Star Glory Empire come over and muddy the waters?" the Venerable of Fate added.

"The three Super Lifeforms on my side already include the people from the Star Glory Empire..." Li Yu said calmly.

A strange expression immediately appeared on the Venerable of Fate's face. Seeming somewhat speechless, he couldn't help but say, "Where are your people?"

"Our people won't necessarily appear here." Li Yu didn't explain the reason either.

This gave the Venerable of Fate an even worse premonition. "Those three Super Lifeforms, aside from the two from the Star Glory Empire, who else is there? Could it be you?"

Li Yu couldn't help but praise him. "As expected of the Venerable of Fate, you guessed right. It is precisely me... comparable to a Super Lifeform."

"Comparable to..." The Venerable of Fate weighed these two words, feeling that he should probably find an escape route sooner rather than later.

"Relax. As long as the plan proceeds normally, there might be strange people helping me." Li Yu consoled him.

"..." The Venerable of Fate sorted out his emotions and said, "Now the plan has reached a critical turning point. Mo Duo must ascend to the Divine Throne."

"This will not only give our side a Super Lifeform, but more importantly, it will put the initiative to force the Supreme Forge to surface into our hands. Even if an accident occurs today, we can calmly retreat and plan for another day."

"Which means, we must stall for time."

The confident appearance of the Divine Forging Master truly made the Venerable of Fate somewhat suspicious.

If Mo Duo was really stopped, that would truly be total defeat.

"Stall for time..." Li Yu's eyes flashed. The cloak on his back suddenly shook, removing his concealment, and his entire figure appeared within the Starry Universe.

The moment his aura appeared, it was locked onto by numerous deities, who simultaneously cast their gazes in this direction.

"It really is you. You're courting death!"

The Solar Councilor, this crazy bastard, acted decisively. Without the slightest hesitation, he was about to attack immediately.

He raised his finger, and a dazzling Energy Orb condensed before shooting out a thick Light Beam, like the first ray of morning light.

Li Yu's gaze focused slightly. The phantom of an axe flickered in his hand as the Titan Giant Axe blocked his front. This Light Beam was split like a river, shooting past both sides of his body and exploding not far away.

With his current level of strength, this kind of probing attack could hardly pose any substantial threat to him.

"Your Excellency Azkana, you are far too impatient. This is completely unlike you. I remember when we first met, I thought you were a scheming and deeply calculating deity," Li Yu teased.

This made Azkana's expression even gloomier. In any case, during their first meeting, this kid had directly called out his name.

At the time, it had given him a lot of associations, causing him to hesitate on various decisions regarding this kid, which ultimately led to a huge disaster.

Looking at it now, this kid had completely conned him back then.

"He is that Dragon Sovereign?"

"To actually dare to appear here, his courage is commendable."

Some deities observed Li Yu. They were also very curious about the "Dragon Sovereign," but they hadn't expected the other party to actually dare to appear in their main base.

"He doesn't seem simple. He actually blocked the Solar Councilor's attack head-on."

"Nonsense, if he didn't have some capabilities, would numerous Councilors pay so much attention to him?"

...

And just as Li Yu appeared, in another corner of this area, Alfrey and the others were also watching the show here under the concealment of the Mirror of Omniscience.

"The Divine Forging Master determined that Xia En is in Li Yu's hands. Li Yu deceived us. That God of Death is definitely Mo Duo." The Golden Armored One, King Dahl, had a cold expression, and then he shouted coldly:

"I knew it must have something to do with him!"

"It's fine, this might not be a bad thing..." Alfrey shook his head. "This is the God Council. The true bodies of eleven Councilors are here. I really want to see what kind of methods the Other-Dimensional Camp has to make their plan succeed."

"Then what about our plan?" the Golden Armored One asked hesitantly. After all, they were the ones who formulated the plan to seize the Supreme Forge.

"Those Councilors cannot leave the God Council; their threat is limited..." Alfrey's tone was unpredictable. "If the Other-Dimensional Camp suffers too great a loss, we can help them."

Alfrey truly didn't mind cooperating with the Other-Dimensional Camp, but not like it was now, constantly being led by the nose.

This was an opportunity. No matter what, facing eleven Councilors, there was no way they could let Li Yu handle all of this. He would have to reveal his foundation.

At that time, they would help the other party, and then think of a way to obtain the Supreme Forge.

With both sides joining forces, there would always be a possibility of escaping from the Council.

With the Other-Dimensional Camp losing a certain amount of strength, the Star Glory Empire could also "cooperate" with them better.

...

In the arena, a flash of bright light appeared in the Divine Forging Master's cloudy eyes. He said to Li Yu, "Have you considered my suggestion? Where is the Nightmare God?"

"Before considering your suggestion, I still have some friends I need to introduce." Li Yu casually pointed, and an Energy Beam shot straight into the Starry Universe.

It then disappeared in a certain area.

Hmm?

Numerous Councilors instantly noticed something was wrong. They surprisingly couldn't obtain any information from that area.

"Friends, come out." Li Yu's Mental Fluctuation spread out.

Following that, the Golden Armored One and Alfrey, both with ashen faces, emerged from that area.

"How did you know we were here!?" the Golden Armored One couldn't help but demand.

"Tsk, did you forget what the Venerable of Fate is?" Li Yu chuckled.

"Impossible, the Mirror of Omniscience is enough to conceal everything!" the Golden Armored One retorted.

"It is..." Beside Li Yu, spatial undulations surged. The true body of the Venerable of Fate descended and added, "But isn't it the most bizarre thing when an area doesn't have any fate at all?"

"Let me grandly introduce the Old Ancestors of the Star Glory Empire," Li Yu said, pointing at the two.

The numerous spectating deities were overwhelmed by the characters appearing one after another, and they couldn't help but exclaim in shock:

"People from the Star Glory Empire? Their auras are so powerful, no less than the Councilors!"

"What exactly is going on today? What does the Divine Throne Battle have to do with them?"

"There is bound to be an earth-shattering battle today!"

Some deities also expressed joy. "Ha, it would be best to beat them all to death so we can go out to the outside world and spread our faith!"

"That's right, this is the God Council, the home ground of the Councilors. They're just a few Super Lifeforms; they can't possibly be a match for the Councilors!"

Meanwhile, the Golden Armored One's eyes were chilling, doing almost nothing to conceal his killing intent towards Li Yu.

But Li Yu didn't care, because the moment they were exposed here, there was only one choice: they had to stand on the same side as him.

As everyone knew, this was the God Council, the home ground of the Councilors.

Furthermore, these Councilors were itching to spread their faith.

But it was precisely because of the existence of the Star Glory Empire that they fundamentally dared not step out of the Council's territory.

If they appeared in the outside world, they would be besieged no matter the reason.

Similarly, since the Old Ancestors of the Star Glory Empire appeared here, even if they were just watching the show, they would have to lose a layer of skin before leaving.

The two sides were natural enemies to begin with.

Even if they were extremely displeased with Li Yu, it was impossible to deal with him now, and they couldn't even sit idly by.

Otherwise, guess who the Councilors' next target would be after they disposed of Li Yu?

Of course, they had another choice, which was to declare their stance of not taking action and leave immediately.

However, in that case, the Supreme Forge would have nothing to do with them.

This was also the reason why Li Yu tried every means possible, concocting reasons and talking nonsense, just to pull the Star Glory Empire over.

When they appeared here, everything was no longer up to them.

Alfrey clearly understood this point. No matter how displeased he was, he could only secretly inform the Golden Armored One of the current situation.

Standing together with Li Yu was their only choice!
