"By the way, what's the deal with the three Earthly Stars in the Star Palace?" Jian Wushuang suddenly asked.
"This … haha …" Xuanshen Daoren laughed. "My young friend, have you forgotten that you personally paid a visit to Demon King Gu Ye? After that, the Sovereign Slayers personally came to our Star Palace to apologize. Not long after that, news spread that you fought Demon King Gu Ye and even defeated him.
"You should know that Demon King Gu Ye was publicly acknowledged as the number one expert in this Star Field. Even the peak Sovereign Tian Peng Sovereign couldn't withstand a single blow from him. Yet, you were able to defeat Demon King Gu Ye. Moreover, you're only a Master of the Laws. Once this news spread, our Star Palace's status in this Star Field immediately changed.
"Previously, although my Star Palace could barely be considered a large force due to your rise, it was still not at the top. However, after your battle with the Demon Lord Gu Ye, there was no need for my Star Palace to do anything. The majority of the experts in this Star Domain naturally regarded my Star Palace as one of the top forces. Moreover, there was no need for my Star Palace to do anything. There were countless experts who took the initiative to come over, wanting to join my Star Palace. My Star Palace naturally did not reject anyone."
"In less than a thousand years, our Star Palace has more than ten thousand Masters of the Laws."
"What?" Jian Wushuang was shocked.
When he first went to the Eternal Prison of Darkness, the total number of Masters of the Law in the Star Palace was just over a thousand.
In less than a thousand years, it had grown from a thousand people to over ten thousand people?
Wasn't this speed a little too fast?
"There are too many Masters of the Laws. Naturally, one Earthly Star alone couldn't satisfy the needs of the Star Palace. Therefore, in recent years, we paid a price to find two uninhabited Earthly Stars in this Star Field and moved them here. The three Earthly Stars are side by side. That's how the Star Palace is now," Xuanshen Daoren said.
"Is that so?" Jian Wushuang understood.
He had to admit that the current Star Palace was indeed much stronger than before.
"It's a good thing that the Star Palace has become stronger. The more experts there are, the higher our chances of winning against the Demon Cloud Star." Jian Wushuang smiled.
When Jian Wushuang mentioned the Devil Cloud Star, Xuanshen Daoren's expression immediately became dignified.
"Young Marquis, there is something I must tell you." Xuanshen Daoren stared at Jian Wushuang.
"What's the matter? Why are you so serious?" Jian Wushuang asked.
"It's the Devil Cloud Planet." Xuanshen Daoren said solemnly, "You also know that my Star Palace has planted spies in the Star Field where the Demon Cloud Star is located. They have always been paying attention to the movements of the Demon Cloud Star. Ten years ago, the spies there sent news that the Demon Cloud Star Master had already come out of seclusion."
Jian Wushuang's pupils shrank.
He knew that the Demon Cloud Star had been quiet all these years because the Demon Cloud Star Master had been in seclusion. It was the most important stage of his seclusion.
However, once the Demon Cloud Star Master came out of seclusion, he would most likely have broken through to the Fourth Stage Sovereign Realm. When that happened, he would definitely make a move.
Jian Wushuang had been preparing for how to deal with the Demon Cloud Star Master. At the same time, he had hoped that the Demon Cloud Star Master would stay in seclusion for a longer period of time to prepare. That way, he would have a greater chance of dealing with the Demon Cloud Star Master.
However, now …
"Is the Demon Cloud Star Master ready to move?" Jian Wushuang asked.
"He's not ready to move. He's already moved." Xuanshen Daoren said, "According to the information from our spies, the Demon Cloud Star Master had been preparing for a long time. They were just waiting for the Demon Cloud Star Master to come out of seclusion. Less than a year after the Demon Cloud Star Master came out of seclusion, the Demon Cloud Star Master led his army and left the star sector. Most of the great beings in the star sector did not know the purpose of the Demon Cloud Star Master's army, but we knew that the Demon Cloud Star Master was coming for us."
"How much time do we have?" Jian Wushuang asked.
"A thousand years at most," Xuanshen Daoren said.
"What?" Jian Wushuang was shocked. He frowned. "How could it be so fast? Shouldn't it take at least tens of thousands of years to get here from the Demon Cloud Star?"
"That's right. Under normal circumstances, it would take tens of thousands of years for a ruler to travel from Devil Cloud Star's star sector to our star sector. However, Devil Cloud Star Master is the master of a second-grade star sector. His skills and power are extremely impressive, and he has a Universe Boat with him." Daoist Xuan Shen had just finished his sentence when Luo Ruoxin's voice suddenly rang out.
"Universe Boat?" Jian Wushuang was stunned.
Before meeting Fire Star Master Shi, he might not have known what the Universe Boat was. However, after meeting Fire Star Master Shi and riding the Universe Boat, he was no stranger to it.
It could travel through the void space of the universe at high speed. Even the lowest level of the Universe Boat could travel through the void space at a speed that was dozens or even hundreds of times faster than an ordinary great being.
With the Universe Boat taking the place of the Demon Cloud Star Master's army, the time it would take for the Demon Cloud Star Master to arrive would be greatly reduced.
"The Universe Boat is very special," Xuanshen Daoren said solemnly. "It can travel through the void space of the universe at a very fast speed. It will take at most a thousand years for the great army of the Demon Cloud Star to reach this star sector. It might not even take a thousand years. In other words, we have to be prepared for the great war with the Demon Cloud Star in the next thousand years."
"Within a thousand years?" Jian Wushuang squinted his eyes.
Beside him, Space-Time Temple Master, Cleaving Sky Alliance Master, and Emperor Thirteen did not look happy.
Within a thousand years, the great war with the Demon Cloud Star would break out.
This great war would determine the life and death of the Absolute Beginning Divine World.
If they were defeated, they might be able to rely on their own power to escape to other parts of the universe. Like Jian Wushuang, with his power and talent, he should be able to escape to other domains and live a good life. However, the Absolute Beginning Divine World, their hometown, would be finished.
In order to increase his own strength, the Demon Cloud Star Master would squeeze the Absolute Beginning Divine World dry. By then, the Absolute Beginning Divine World would collapse in the shortest time possible. Countless cultivators would die during that period, except for the top few who could escape into the universe, the rest would not be able to survive.
No one would be able to accept such an outcome.
For example, Jian Wushuang, his family, his wife, and many of his good friends were in the Absolute Beginning Divine World. The Absolute Beginning Divine World was their hometown and their roots. To Jian Wushuang, the Absolute Beginning Divine World was an existence that his master, Xuan Yi, had risked his life to protect.
After Xuan Yi died, he created Jian Wushuang. From the moment he inherited his master's legacy and became a perfect life form, he had an innate mission. This mission was to take over the Absolute Beginning Divine World and protect everything in it.
Hence, they could not afford to lose this great war. They had to win!
