Chapter 589: Multiverse Alliance Projection

The first to feel that something was wrong were the three thousand Star Gods.

Each of them was a Transformation Body of a Venerable, and one Venerable had more than one Transformation Body; although they appeared to be merely a few thousand Star Gods, their realm and status remained that of a Venerable.

Furthermore, as they were the first to bear the brunt, they soon realized that things were not looking good.

At this moment, they could finally understand the situation the Xingzun had just been in. After they occupied the positions of Star Gods, possessed the authority of Star Gods, and evolved the All-Heaven Stars and the vast Starry Sky, they discovered that the All-Heaven Stars were slowly ceasing to obey their commands, and their authority was gradually failing.

But that fellow Xingzun clearly had not retracted the authority!

Their hearts jolted, and they immediately realized that it was this Li Daoren who had made a move, invisibly stripping away their Star God authority and occupying the fruits of this All-Heaven Stars and vast Starry Sky.

Just as he had dealt with the Xingzun a moment ago.

Seeing the three thousand Star Gods—those fellows who had just sat on the sidelines and refused to intervene until he offered corresponding benefits and conferred the positions of Star Gods—suffering a setback, the Xingzun could not help but gloat.

Now you know how uncomfortable I was just a moment ago, don't you?

"Everyone, this person's methods are mysterious, so please be sure to cooperate with me. With me as the center, consolidate the surrounding Starry Sky to prevent this thief from stealing the evolved Starry Sky again!"

The Xingzun spoke in a loud voice.

He had essentially enfeoffed vassals just now; if the vassals were powerful, the center would be weak, which would inevitably lead to chaos and cause his authority as the Lord of All Stars to be damaged. Given this, it was better to start emphasizing that the All-Heaven Star Gods must take him, the Lord of All Stars, as their master and honor him as the Venerable.

The Star Gods knew the Xingzun's thoughts, but they were helpless.

They couldn't just have obtained the position of Star God and occupied the Star authority for a moment only to have it snatched away by an outsider, could they? It seemed that slacking off was out of the question.

"We ask the Xingzun to make a move and suppress the four directions."

Since they were only Star Gods here, these Transformation Bodies of the Venerables quickly adopted their roles and spoke aloud. They then cooperated with the Xingzun's power to consolidate the surrounding Starry Sky, building an "impenetrable empire."

However, as time passed, the situation did not improve in the slightest; it continued to deteriorate, and at every moment, endless All-Heaven Stars were detaching from their control and entering Li Heng's embrace.

At this time, the gloating Xingzun's expression also became extremely ugly.

Just now, when he couldn't beat this Li Daoren, he could still explain it as a matter of individual strength; although this was indeed a bit shameful, he was not walking the path of invincibility, so it was justifiable.

But now, it was three thousand Star Gods cooperating with him! And these three thousand Star Gods were the avatars and Transformation Bodies of those Venerables in the Multiverse Alliance; although they could not compare to the originals, the sheer number was overwhelming.

This scale of power was more than sufficient to sweep across the Venerable realm; why could it still not deal with this Li Daoren, and instead continue to fall into a disadvantage? It was simply too unreasonable.

Could it be that this Li Daoren had transcended the Venerable realm?

Although they had indeed sensed before that a supreme existence had transcended the Venerable realm and attained the Great Venerable path, that realm of Great Venerable was either a prisoner of the Great Void, forced to pay back debts, or an exile from the Endless Unknown, already an Outsider. Regardless of which, it was impossible to manifest Great Divine Ability in the world. So how could this be possible?

"Everyone, have you not been putting in the effort?"

The Xingzun's words of dissatisfaction reached the ears of the three thousand Star Gods.

Excluding all impossibilities, the greatest possibility was this situation. Someone had taken his Star God authority and occupied his Star God position but was slacking off, leading to this disadvantage.

After all, were so many Venerables just freeloaders?

Could they not even deal with a mere Li Daoren?

The three thousand Star Gods were suddenly incensed and also expressed their dissatisfaction. To protect their Star God authority, they had already exerted their maximum effort within the scope of the Star Gods; was this what he called slacking off? Did he want them to truly use the power of their original selves?

It was clearly you, Xingzun, who were incompetent and useless!

"I am the Ancestor of All Stars, the origin of the Starry Sky. Regardless of whether you are the King of All Stars, the Lord of All Stars, or the Emperor of All Stars, the foundation remains in the stars, and the foundation of the stars is in me."

Li Heng smiled and spoke, revealing the truth.

The Xingzun turned a deaf ear; to him, such words were like nonsense. Or rather, even if these words were correct, he would not admit it; once admitted, it would mean he was a step below this Li Daoren.

As the Lord of All Stars, how could he be entangled in so-called origins? It appeared that his concept of the Lord of All Stars had lost to the Ancestor of All Stars, but the essence was definitely not so. He must have lost a step in raw strength, and this Li Daoren had defined and covered his Star Path, creating an Ancestor of All Stars above his Lord of All Stars.

Otherwise, it could not be so!

The Xingzun thought calmly in his heart.

Since it was not a matter of innate suppression but of raw strength, then it was easy to handle. Although this was not the territory of the Multiverse Alliance, it was not far from it; as long as he paid some price, he could absolutely project the power of the Multiverse Alliance here.

And this Li Daoren had left his own era and had no home-field advantage; he was a tree without roots and water without a source. If they really fought and dragged it out, he would definitely not be as good as him!

This was the difference between a rogue cultivator and one with a power backing them!

Li Daoren, let's see how you block this!

The three thousand Star Gods were somewhat worried at this moment.

They regretted it a little; had they known this Li Daoren was so difficult to deal with, they would not have coveted these Star God positions. Now they were truly riding a tiger and finding it hard to get off, not knowing what choice to make.

If they used the power of their original selves to help the Xingzun, they might let this Li Daoren glimpse the truth, know that they were using many to attack the few, lose face, and truly forge Causality with this Li Daoren.

But if they did not use the power of their original selves to help the Xingzun, then judging by the current situation, the Xingzun would surely be defeated and die, or if not dead, he would be crippled and his Original Qi would be severely damaged. At that time, they would also lose the face of the Multiverse Alliance, and they would lose the Star God positions they had coveted for so long.

A dilemma, they sighed in their hearts.

However, they soon made their decision.

The Venerables who did not belong to the Xingzun's faction abandoned the Star God positions they had obtained, preferring to discard the Star God authority rather than truly fall out with this mysterious Li Daoren.

As for the Venerables who belonged to the Xingzun's faction, because of the principle of mutual assistance among allies, they stayed for the time being and did not take action, waiting to see how the Xingzun would handle it and whether he would ask for their help.

It was normal for those in the same faction to not be of one mind.

However, the next moment, the Xingzun's actions surprised them.

Boundless Dao rhymes radiated, and a phantom manifested from the void, about to cross the infinite eras and Void to arrive. This was... did the Xingzun want to mobilize the power of the Multiverse Alliance? To mobilize the power that the Multiverse Alliance had stored for so long for such a matter? How dared he! Was he not afraid of the Alliance Leader's punishment?

The Venerables were filled with suspicion and uncertainty.

"Oh? This power is quite interesting."

Li Heng looked at the majestic phantom behind the Xingzun and smiled.

The surrounding Starry Sky that the Xingzun and the three thousand Star Gods had struggled to maintain was now also within Li Heng's control; they could not resist at all, and everything was in a state of crushing, dimensionality-reduction strikes.

Originally, Li Heng had felt bored, but now it was interesting.

This power seemed to be able to reach the level of a Great Venerable?
