Chapter 703 - 702: Gabriel, March on X-Jin

"A higher-level world?"

Michael muttered, a thoughtful expression on his face.

Gabriel also held her cheek in thought, pondering the possibilities.

Lilith, on the other hand, hummed in contemplation.

"There’s an old saying in the Eastern World, that there are skies beyond the sky. There have long been speculations about the existence of worlds of even higher dimensions than the Divine Domain, Immortal Realm, and the Upper Three Realms, but none have ever been confirmed."

Having stated this, she turned her gaze to Li Jing.

"Although I personally loathe to admit it, Yahweh is indeed extraordinary. Hell is always inferior to the Heavenly Divine Domain, largely because Heaven has Him. As the ruler, Satan simply doesn’t have the ability to confront Him directly. Someone of His stature would surely not be deceived by lies or illusions. If He took the risk of his life to verify all this, it’s likely because He’s truly discovered something."

Li Jing stayed silent for a while before shaking his head and speaking.

"There’s no point in speculating wildly. The fact is that Yahweh is gone, and that’s all I need to know."

With that, he turned to Lucifer.

"Lucifer, as previously agreed, you are free."

Lucifer raised his eyebrows, a challenging look on his face as he turned to Michael.

About to speak, Li Jing stood up.

"Gabriel, come with me."

???

Lilith.

Gabriel, Lucifer, and Michael each furrowed their brows.

In the face of the trio’s scrutiny, Li Jing gave a faint smile.

"Seems like this ending is not what you expected?"

The three remained silent.

Then Gabriel stepped forward half a step with a sweet smile.

"I have to admit that I underestimated you. It does make sense; the appointment of a human as the world’s guardian is unprecedented, and it couldn’t simply be because of your personal strength."

She then asked earnestly.

"I need to confirm one thing, will the war end if I go with you?"

"We’ve said it’s the end, do you expect us to keep fighting?"

Li Jing spoke in a plain tone.

Gabriel nodded and looked at Michael.

"Brother, I leave the future of Heaven to you."

A complex expression appeared on Michael’s calm face. He nodded silently in response.

Gabriel nodded too, then turned to look at Lucifer.

"Big brother..."

Before she could finish, Lucifer let out a sigh.

"Don’t worry, I’ll handle what needs to be done."

Before Gabriel could speak again, Li Jing waved his hand and tore open a space crack.

"It’s best that way, otherwise, it would be troublesome for me to come again."

With a meaningful statement, he stepped into the space crack.

Gabriel saw this and her expression became serious. She nodded to both Michael and Lucifer, then glanced towards Lilith who was still sitting confused on the armrest of the throne.

"What are you waiting for? It’s time to move, your master is waiting for you."

With that, she stepped into the space crack.

"..."

Lilith.

Just then, the space crack started to close.

With no time to think, Lilith hurriedly got up and entered the space crack.

...

After a brief switch in location.

Lilith found herself back at the beginning of the war, the place where Li Jing had first brought the united forces of the two clans.

Li Jing was already sitting at a tea table, and Gabriel was sitting beside him. Lilith looked at her with a peculiar expression before she took her seat at the vacant spot obviously meant for her.

Just as she sat down, Li Jing began to speak.

"According to the myths and legends on Earth, Yahweh seems to have the power to foresee the future. It appears that this is indeed the case?"

Lilith frowned and said,

"As far as I know, Yahweh doesn’t have..."

Before he could finish speaking, Gabriel shrugged.

"God the Father indeed has a certain ability to predict the future, but it’s not as exaggerated as The Bible scribes on Earth portrayed. His predictive ability is built on the divine power given to him by the Divine Domain of Heaven, this part of his power cannot be used personally, it only works on the macro level of the Divine Domain of Heaven."

?

Lilith tilted her head at a question mark.

Meeting her gaze, Gabriel rolled his eyes.

"Master, the demon you picked from Hell seems to be a bit slow in her thoughts," he said.

At his words, Lilith immediately furrowed her brows, releasing a tremendous amount of demonic power.

"What did you say?"

"Did I upset you?"

Gabriel tilted his head, a provocative look on his face.

Upon seeing this, a vein popped up on Lilith’s forehead, and she was unable to contain her anger.

But she quickly calmed down.

Reining in her magic power, Lilith looked at Li Jing.

"Master, if I understood correctly, you mean... Jehovah had already foreseen the war that would occur in the Divine Domain of Heaven?"

"Yes."

Li Jing nodded, and said,

"Not only that, he was also ready for it."

He then said nonchalantly,

"Jehovah leaving to find a higher level world and probably not being able to return is a fatal loss for the Divine Domain of Heaven. However, even this will not change the dominance of the Divine Domain of Heaven. Some things that should happen won’t change. The Divine Domain of Heaven needs to lose more but also ensure that it can maintain parity with the corresponding Hell. This is the only way to continue. The fallen angel Lucifer exists for this purpose."

Before he could finish speaking, Gabriel clapped his hands twice, saying with an unusual expression,

"Master, as expected. I only learned these things after going to the abandoned god domain to fish Lucifer out and told him about the current situation of the Divine Domain of Heaven. For a long time in the past, I thought Lucifer willingly fell and was even ashamed of having him as a brother. I never imagined that he silently contributed so much to the Divine Domain of Heaven. No wonder God the Father always said that Lucifer was his most successful creation, and excessively indulged him."

Li Jing just smiled and didn’t say anything.

Lilith, however, fell silent.

Lucifer’s fall.

When did that happen?

To be honest,

She wasn’t sure.

The history can be traced back to billions of years ago, even before the Upper Three Realms had issues.

Did Jehovah foresee the difficulties of the Divine Domain of Heaven at that time?

This...

Was simply too terrifying.

Especially considering he hadn’t even participated in the event that would lead to today’s result back then.

Thinking deeper about this,

Today’s meeting between Li Jing and Lucifer seemed inevitable, and yet also premeditated.

The information that Lucifer held was enough to exchange for his freedom today. After becoming a devil, he certainly couldn’t stay in Heaven and had to find a place in Hell.

Considering Lucifer’s strength,

Once in Hell, even the Demon King Satan would have to defer to him.

He was logically in a position to become one of the decision-makers in Hell, even dethroning Satan as the Demon King seemed natural.

Since Lucifer fell, he had movements of escaping Heaven to Hell, and was "accidentally" caught back to Heaven later.

His experiences condemned him to an irreconcilable enmity with Heaven.

No one would doubt him.

And in fact,

Hell had organized more than one attempt to rescue Lucifer in the past, the aims of which were simply to frustrate Heaven...

The deeper Lilith thought about this, the more terrified she became.

With Lucifer having power in Hell, no matter how far the Divine Domain of Heaven declines, it will never be destroyed. At the same time, it would be capable of joining forces with the demons of Hell to resist external enemies at any moment.

This was all planned by Jehovah long ago.

But that’s not the point.

The point is that these calculations were put in plain sight a long time ago.

Not just on Earth.

In places where there is faith in the Divine Teachings of Heaven, it is a common misunderstanding that Lucifer is interpreted as the Devil King Satan.

Even the Watcher Li Jing asked about this before, didn’t he?

All these things appeared to be unintentionally fabricated by the Divine Domain of Heaven at first glance.

They could proceed even further.

Wasn’t this paving the way for Lucifer to take control of Hell!?

Watching Lilith sitting there with an indescribable look of disgust on her face, Gabriel shook his head.

"Lilith, I advise you not to overthink, lest you disturb yourself. Being at the threshold of the quasi-sky father level, the abilities and calculations of the sky father level are beyond our grasp."

Saying this, she looked at Li Jing with a playful smirk.

"Master, Lilith is following you and must have cut contacts with Hell. You should be able to ensure that she doesn’t engage in unnecessary actions, right?"

Li Jing blinked at these words, with a grin on his face.

"Depends on my mood."

Gabriel frowned.

About to speak, Li Jing suddenly rubbed his shoulder.

"Ah, getting old; my shoulder is a bit sore."

"..."

Gabriel.

She rose without a word, and placed her dainty hands on Li Jing’s shoulders, giving him a massage.

Seeing this, Lilith was momentarily startled, but then a smile spread across her face, growing increasingly mischievous.

"Master."

With a soft call, Lilith took out a small maid uniform and placed it on the table.

"I think this suits Gabriel."

"Really?"

Glancing down, Li Jing turned his head and said,

"Why don’t you try it on?"

"..."

Gabriel.

With a forced smile, she spoke softly.

"Can I refuse?"

"I haven’t ordered a ceasefire yet."

Li Jing smiled.

"..."

Gabriel was silent. She picked up the maid outfit from the table and disappeared in a flash of golden light.

Seeing this, Lilith felt extremely satisfied.

Especially the humiliated expression on Gabriel’s face when she picked up the maid outfit, she could remember it for the rest of her life.

Just as she was about to say something, Li Jing turned to her.

"You seem perfectly prepared. Since Gabriel has changed, why not you change into it as well."

"..."

Lilith.

...

A moment later.

Gabriel returned, now dressed in a maid outfit.

As she landed and straightened herself, her eyes widened in surprise.

Because by now, Lilith had also put on a maid outfit and transformed into a dazzlingly attractive woman, standing reluctantly behind Li Jing.

Seeing this.

Brought quite some joy to Gabriel.

Looking at Li Jing, Gabriel bit her lip lightly.

"Are you satisfied now, Master?"

Li Jing was calmly sipping his tea when he heard this. He gave her a glance, responded with a "hmm" and snapped his fingers.

The next second.

The Universe Field expanded from him at its center.

In an instant.

The entire Divine Domain was swallowed in a seemingly limitless universe.

Before Li Jing had reached the Seventeenth Realm, his mini universe had naturally transformed into a universe as he advanced, rather than the starry sky of the past.

Compared to the three God Emperors of the Upper Three Realms in the Universe Great World.

Li Jing was a "late bloomer."

But it couldn’t be helped.

The three God Emperors of the Upper Three Realms are masters who put significant effort into forging their independent worlds. He hadn’t put so much thought and time into it, and could only rely on advancing realms to forcefully evolve his mini universe.

The result was the same.

Yet it was different.

Li Jing did not know the true level of the three God Emperors of the Upper Three Realms.

He hadn’t seen them after all.

But he could basically guess.

Their levels were probably just above the Sixteenth Realm.

And that was the quasi-sky father level that Lilith and Gabriel were referring to.

Perhaps the three of them were slightly stronger than he guessed, but not by much.

Compared to the Star Nebula Great World which has lost too many years, the true level of the Universe Great World was somewhat behind.

There was the difference of a big realm.

Despite being vast universes, the three God Emperors of the Upper Three Realms could definitely not match him.

Setting that aside.

Covering the Divine Domain with his mini universe, Li Jing instantly knew everything in the Divine Domain, grasping every detail.

With just a thought.

All the people of the Supreme God Domain and XiX God Domain were indiscriminately moved from various corners of the Divine Domain and stopped in the starry sky nearby.

The soldiers engaged in all-out warfare in the Divine Domain suddenly felt a change and looked surprised.

They didn’t know what had happened.

The power acting upon them was beyond their resistance.

Seeing Li Jing standing above a blue planet with two maids, one tall and one short, they finally loosened their tense nerves, all their faces showing incredulous shock.

Li Jing was very strong.

All present knew that.

But they never expected.

That he could reach such a point.

Everyone knew there was a portion of cultivators in the Eastern World who had the ability to create mini worlds.

The Western World also had similar abilities like embedding a kingdom within a hand.

But no one had been able to achieve swallowing a vast Divine Domain with their own world instantaneously.

So powerful...

This human...

He exceeded their understanding as God Clan members.

While they were astounded by this, Li Jing waved his hand and tore through space.

"The war in the Divine Domain ends here, our next destination is Xjin Divine Domain."

As soon as these words left his mouth, a spatial rift appeared before them. The shock towards Li Jing’s display of power was replaced by excitement among the allied troops of the two races.

The battle in the Divine Domain.

Truthfully, no one truly enjoyed it.

Especially for the troops of the Supreme God Domain.

During the war.

The Divine Domain was hiding its true power the whole time, trying to minimize its own losses.

Only occasionally would they encounter a God of Ancestor level.

It was rare to even find gods of the superior level.

How could they possibly enjoy that?

Of course, enjoyment was secondary; the key point was the God Pattern.

With such limited gains, in the face of Li Jing ending the battle in the Divine Domain, they could not agree yet couldn’t voice any objections.

There was another Divine Domain right before their eyes.

They could not raise any complaints.

Charge!

In silent agreement, everyone charged towards Xjin Divine Domain.

Li Jing looked on calmly at all of this, quietly giving instructions to Spirit Weapon Wuming and the four Apocalypse Knights who were dispersed among the troops.

"Once we reach Xjin Divine Domain, try not to kill opponents above the quasi-sky father level directly. Capture and send them to me, I need to find something."

Receiving instructions, Spirit Weapon Wuming and the Apocalypse Knights responded one after the other before charging into Xjin Divine Domain without hesitation.
