Chapter 802: The Era of the Gods, It Is Time to End
At the center of the Divine Dynasty stands a divine mountain that towers into the clouds, named Taixuan Mountain.
Built upon the summit is a cluster of majestic palaces, which is precisely the center of power for the Taixuan Divine Dynasty.
The Main God, Taixuan Heavenly Venerable, has been in seclusion for years and has not appeared for ten thousand years.
The daily affairs of the Divine Dynasty are jointly managed by twelve Supreme Elders.
These twelve Elders each have their own duties, overseeing different regions.
Among them, the Great Elder, Venerable Xuanwu, possesses the greatest strength and is already at the peak of the Supreme realm.
They are only one step away from breaking through to the Sovereign level.
At this moment, inside the Xuanwu Palace.
Venerable Xuanwu is in a secret discussion with three Elders.
"Everyone, the Main God has been in seclusion for ten thousand years."
Venerable Xuanwu said in a deep voice.
"For these ten thousand years, all affairs of the Divine Dynasty have been handled by us."
"But once the Main God emerges from seclusion, he can still decide life and death with a single word."
"If things continue this way, we will forever only be his servants."
The Second Elder, Venerable Qinglong, chimed in: "The Great Elder is right."
"We have toiled for the Divine Dynasty for ten thousand years; why must we look at his face alone?"
The Third Elder, Venerable Baihu, also said: "If we could hollow out the Main God and jointly control the Divine Dynasty ourselves..."
"How wonderful that would be."
The Fourth Elder, Venerable Zhuque, laughed.
The four of them exchanged a glance, and the light of ambition flashed in their eyes.
"This matter requires careful consideration."
Venerable Xuanwu said sternly.
"The Main God is, after all, a Sovereign-level powerhouse; we must not act rashly."
"We must slowly erode his power, and when the time is ripe, then..."
Before the words were finished, a report came from outside the palace.
"Reporting to the Great Elder, Inspector Murong requests an audience."
Venerable Xuanwu frowned: "Why come at a time like this?"
However, he still had people invite Murong Tian in.
Murong Tian walked into the palace and, seeing the four Elders gathered together, felt secretly vigilant.
But on the surface, he still bowed respectfully.
"Subordinate Murong Tian, pays respects to the four Elders."
Venerable Xuanwu waved his hand: "Rise."
"You have returned from your patrol; did you have any findings?"
Murong Tian, following Lin Xuan's instructions, began to spread false information.
"Reporting to the Great Elder, the middle plane my subordinate patrolled this time is completely worthless."
"The Spirit Qi there is so thin it is appalling, and resources are extremely scarce."
"The strongest in the entire plane is only at the peak of the Quasi-Saint realm; not even a Supreme can be born there."
He spoke with such vivid detail that it seemed as if it were truly the case.
Venerable Xuanwu nodded: "Since that is the case, mark that middle plane as a barren region."
"There is no need to send people to patrol it in the future."
Murong Tian secretly breathed a sigh of relief; the first task was complete.
But he did not leave immediately; instead, he said tentatively.
"Great Elder, although my subordinate returned empty-handed from this trip, I had an accidental discovery in the Void."
Venerable Xuanwu became interested: "Oh? Tell me about it."
Murong Tian lowered his voice: "On the way back, my subordinate accidentally sensed a secret realm."
"That secret realm emits a very special aura, which seems to contain the origin of Hun Dun."
As soon as these words were spoken, the four Elders changed color simultaneously.
The origin of Hun Dun!
That is the key to breaking through to the Sovereign level!
Venerable Xuanwu was so excited that he stood up.
"Is what you say true?"
"Where is the secret realm?"
Murong Tian feigned hesitation: "My subordinate dares not be certain of this."
"That aura was fleeting, and my subordinate only sensed it vaguely."
"However, if the Great Elder is interested in investigating, my subordinate is willing to lead the way."
A sharp light flickered in Venerable Xuanwu's eyes.
He had been trapped at the peak of the Supreme realm for thousands of years and had never been able to break through.
If he could obtain the origin of Hun Dun, he would surely be able to step into the Sovereign realm in one fell swoop.
By then, even Taixuan Heavenly Venerable would have to look at him with new eyes.
"Good! It is settled then!"
Venerable Xuanwu made his decision immediately.
"Three days from now, you shall lead this Venerable to that secret realm."
"If there truly is Hun Dun origin, this Venerable will reward you handsomely!"
Murong Tian respectfully agreed, though he sneered in his heart.
This Venerable Xuanwu was ambitious and was the perfect chess piece.
As long as he was lured into the trap set by the Master, everything would be settled.
After taking his leave, Murong Tian immediately found a secluded spot.
He took out a Void communication talisman and probed it with his divine sense.
Soon, Lin Xuan's voice rang out in his mind.
"Well done, continue to act according to the plan."
"Venerable Xuanwu is deeply ambitious and is exactly the person we can use."
"Lure him to the entrance of the Heaven Beyond Heaven; I have my own arrangements."
Murong Tian respectfully acknowledged the order and cut the connection.
On the other side, inside Lingxiao Hall.
Lin Xuan put away the communication talisman, a cold sneer curling at the corner of his mouth.
"Venerable Xuanwu? A useful chess piece indeed."
He turned his head to look at Sima Xue and the other nine empresses.
"You are each to head to other regions of the Middle Plane."
"Find those heaven-gifted geniuses oppressed by the Upper Plane and secretly recruit them for your own use."
Sima Xue and the others accepted the order.
They understood that His Majesty was laying out a plan for the entire Middle Plane.
When the time came to wage war on the Upper Plane, these people would all become a source of support.
"Additionally."
Lin Xuan continued.
"Xuannü, go and prepare."
"In three days, accompany Me to the Heaven Beyond Heaven to set up a Dharma Array."
Xuannü bowed respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty."
After the consorts withdrew, Lin Xuan stood alone on the roof of the hall.
He looked down at the entire Lun Hui Star Domain, his gaze profound.
A great net covering both the Middle Plane and the Upper Plane was quietly spreading out.
The Taixuan Divine Dynasty was only the first step.
In the future, he would make the entire Upper Plane submit at the feet of the Lun Hui Empire.
"The era of the gods should come to an end."
He spoke indifferently, his voice drifting away with the wind.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Lin Xuan brought Xuannü to the entrance of the Heaven Beyond Heaven.
This place was still that massive spatial rift, radiating an ancient aura.
"Your Majesty, what kind of Dharma Array needs to be set up?"
Xuannü asked respectfully.
Lin Xuan took out several hundred array flags, each one containing the laws of Lun Hui.
"Six Paths Lun Hui Trap-Kill Array."
He said indifferently.
"This array is based on the Six Paths of Lun Hui and can trap any powerhouse below the Sovereign realm."
"Even a peak Sovereign would not be able to escape."
Xuannü was amazed and hurriedly assisted in setting up the array.
Lin Xuan's technique was skillful; he was clearly extremely proficient in the way of the Array.
This was also knowledge contained within the inheritance of the Lun Hui Emperor.
In less than half a day, the entire entrance to the Heaven Beyond Heaven was shrouded by the Dharma Array.
Looking from the outside, it was still an ordinary spatial rift.
But once someone entered, they would immediately trigger the array.
"Your Majesty, what if that Venerable Xuanwu does not take the bait?"
Xuannü asked with concern.
Lin Xuan smiled confidently: "Rest assured, he will definitely come."
"A person trapped at the peak of the Sovereign realm for thousands of years, facing the temptation of a breakthrough."
"He absolutely cannot refuse."
"What's more, I have prepared other surprises for him."
He looked into the Void, as if he had already seen the scene of Venerable Xuanwu falling into the trap.
At this very moment, in the Taixuan Divine Dynasty.
Venerable Xuanwu was making his final preparations.
He was not only going personally, but he was also planning to bring along two trusted Elders.
"You must be careful and cautious on this trip."
He said to Venerable Azure Dragon and Venerable White Tiger.
"The origin of that secret realm is unknown, and there may be danger."
"With the three of us joining forces, we can hold our own even if we encounter a Sovereign-level powerhouse."
The two Elders nodded, their eyes full of anticipation.
If they could truly obtain the Hun Dun origin, their strength would also increase significantly.
"Great Elder, Murong Tian is already waiting outside."
An attendant came to report.
