In the depths of the void, tens of thousands of big and small star cities were gathered in one place, connected by ropeways. Around them, ferocious birds that looked like suns with blazing flames were flying around, adding radiance to the city.
In the middle of the stars, on the top of the Ten Thousand Holy Tower, a wisp of Yang fire suddenly lit up. Then, countless lantern-like gods and monsters gathered and revolved around the big tower, illuminating the other side. From near to far, layers of ripples spread out, as if they were extending out endlessly.
At this moment, the deep void was as bright as day.
In the big tower, on the semi-circular seats, there were a total of 19 people who looked like gods and monsters. Each of them had a huge body, and their appearance was strange and ferocious. It could be seen that there were strands of star-like mist rising from the top of their heads, straight into the depths of the void.
The power of the Remote Star Palace for the past thousands of years was all in the hands of these 19 people. The cultivation of this generation was far superior to the elders and sect masters of the other realms.
They were not gods and monsters, but still descendants of human blood. They just cultivated here, and this appearance was more convenient for them to absorb the essence of the Netherworld from the void. This thing was the origin of all gods and monsters, the source of their power.
Just Now, only when one reached their level and was immersed in this place for a long time could they truly feel it.
At this moment, a monster with a head of long hair and beard that covered its entire face suddenly moved. A single vertical eye appeared in the middle of its face that was covered, and it emitted a wisp of pale white light.
His name was Yu Muli, and the bloodline in his body came from the god and monster 'Kong Wei'. Anyone who got his hair and beard, when necessary, could establish a telepathic technique with him by burning it. He could even see some of the scenes that the person who sent the message saw.
Just Now, he received a piece of important news.
He looked at the elders around him and said in a hoarse voice, "Jiang Wu sent a message, the place where he went, he saw people who are suspected to be followers of the Demon God."
After one of the elders heard it, he said, "Since I issued the order, I have checked hundreds of realms, including the ones under the jurisdiction of the Remote Star Palace. In the end, none of the suspected Demon God is real. Can we confirm it this time?"
Yu Muli said, "Elder Jiang's report is very likely to be true." At this point, he spoke with a slightly heavier tone, "Including Elder Jiang, I have four Elders who have arrived. This force, along with the Six Great Sects of the Qiong Continent, can't even find a trace of the enemy. Moreover, the bloodlines of those who are fighting are also extremely strange. It's impossible to identify what kind of monster they are. There's definitely a big problem here."
Jiang Wu knew that the Six Great Sects were unreliable, so in order to attract the attention of the Distant Star Palace, he naturally exaggerated the situation a little. It wasn't wrong to say that the Six Sects had attacked together. At least the Six Sects had contributed.
Another elder on the seat said, "You're right. This power definitely didn't appear out of nowhere. However, if it's the work of the Demon God, it wouldn't be difficult for him to make his followers gain great power in a short period of time. Perhaps these people were sent here by the Demon God."
All the elders were shocked, and there was a moment of silence.
After a while, someone said, "Do we need to ask the Mother of the Void about this?"
All the strange creatures in the world and all their power came from the Void. And these strange creatures believed that there was a supreme existence in the depths of the Void. They called it the "Mother of the Void." They believed that this was where all things belonged, where all forms and forms were placed.
No one knew whether this person truly existed or not, but at their level of bloodline, they were able to rely on a type of ritual to ask the void, and from there, obtain answers related to certain matters, or request certain things.
But now that this suggestion was made, there was a sound of objection from the crowd.
"This suggestion is not appropriate. Just Now, we've asked once several months ago. The treasures sacrificed this time took up more than half of the palace's savings. There really isn't much left."
"The sacrificial items are secondary. Even the simplest ritual requires at least ten days of preparation. If we delay, and the Demon God's followers are left unobstructed, this person may very well bring the Demon God into the world during this period of time."
"Elder Jiang has always been cautious. In my opinion, there's no need to investigate anymore. Regardless of whether the Demon God's followers are here or not, since they're suspicious, we should just destroy them. What's the point of investigating?"
"That's easy for you to say. What if this is the Demon God's arrangement to lure us in and then cause trouble elsewhere? How are we going to stop it then?"
"Hmph, do you think we can just sit here and do nothing?"
All the elders present expressed their own opinions. Some agreed, some disagreed, and some were too radical to care about the consequences. However, the few people who were usually more prestigious didn't say anything. Therefore, after half a day, there was still no accurate result.
Just as everyone was arguing, a guarding disciple suddenly ran in from the outside with a panicked expression.
An elder nearby turned around and asked condescendingly, "What's the matter?"
The disciple knelt on the ground and said with fear and trepidation, "Elder, the Longevity Fire has weakened a lot. Look, look …" He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "It looks like it's going to be extinguished."
"What?"
The slightly chaotic discussions in the hall immediately quieted down. Everyone revealed a shocked expression.
No matter how powerful the Demon God was in the world, there would be a day when its life would end. What's more, blood descendants like them wouldn't increase their lifespan by much even if they returned to their ancestral bodies. Besides, some Demon Gods in the world weren't famous for their longevity.
The Longevity Fire was a divine object that gathered the power of various sects in various worlds and sacrificed countless good things to obtain from the Void Mother. It could be said to be the object of their sustenance and life. As long as the fire was lit, they could live forever. If it was extinguished, they could only rely on their own lifespan to resist the corrosion of the cycle of life and death.
It wasn't easy to worship this object. Many heavenly treasures had to be put in at every moment, and a large number of Demon Gods had to be sacrificed every once in a while to maintain its brilliance. However, since a while ago, the fire had become weaker. No matter what method they used, even if they doubled the offerings, it was useless.
In the end, regardless of the cost, they made another sacrifice to the Void Mother. Only then did they know that a Void Demon God was about to arrive.
Not only was the Longevity Fire related to their lives, it was also closely related to the origin of the void. Once a Demon God descended, the myriad worlds would be shaken and fall. If the origin was lost, the Longevity Fire would cease to exist.
It was also because of this that the people of the Distant Star Palace attached great importance to this matter.
Now, the Longevity Fire was showing signs of abnormality once again. Only a Demon God could cause such an effect. Perhaps this was a sign that he was about to descend.
Sitting in the middle of the crowd was a half-dragon, half-beast Demon God. This was Elder Yan Zhu. He was quite popular here and was also the oldest. He opened his mouth and said, "Everyone, please listen to me."
The hall immediately fell silent.
Yan Zhu said, "Let's not talk about anything else. First, we need to sacrifice Demon Gods to maintain the Longevity Fire. After all, this concerns our lives."
All the Elders nodded in agreement.
However, they all knew that this was just for peace of mind. If a truly unstoppable force arrived, then this action would be meaningless.
After Yan Zhu arranged this matter in front of all the Elders, he said, "I believe that the news Elder Jiang sent back is not false. Otherwise, the Longevity Fire would not be showing signs of abnormality at this time." At this point, he turned to the side. "A few Elders said that they were afraid of Demon Gods appearing elsewhere and that they would not be able to react in time. This is somewhat reasonable. How about this, the palace cannot be left unguarded. Leave nine people here, and the rest will go and help Elder Jiang. At the same time, use the Star Writ to summon the remaining Elders to the palace. When they see any abnormality, they can immediately go and deal with it."
The Remote Star Upper Realm had dozens of Upper Realms. Apart from them, there were more than a hundred Elders. Of course, most of these people were the sect masters of the various large sects. Under normal circumstances, it was impossible for them to gather in one place. However, every hundred years, the Remote Star Upper Realm had the authority to issue a Star Writ. As long as they were Elders of the palace, no matter what important matter they had to attend to, once they received this writ, they would have to come to the palace to pay their respects.
The Elders discussed for a while, and under the premise that there was no better way, they all agreed to this idea.
Thus, the ten Elders, including Yan Zhu and Yu Muli, decided to go to the Xiong Continent to avoid wasting time.
In the void, several large monsters woke up. This was the Demon God "Void Melt". It had the ability to transfer living beings. The Elders of the Remote Star Upper Realm could borrow its power and send people to any of the lower realms under their jurisdiction.
However, it would take a few days each time, and they couldn't borrow its power to return, so it was even more troublesome. They had to pass through the cracks in the void by themselves. Not only did they have to inevitably collide with many Demon Gods, but it also took a long time. This was also the reason why some of the Elders were more conservative. As long as there was a problem in another place, the people who were sent to another place wouldn't be able to return in time.
On the Xiong Continent, the Golden Crow retreated, and the light of day dimmed. Another day had passed.
The people of the various sects couldn't find a way to break the formation, so they returned empty-handed.
Zhang Chan relaxed slightly. He came to the front of the Spell Altar. These few days, he had built up quite a lot of things, and it was getting closer and closer to the last day. However, he didn't forget Sima Quan's reminder. If they wanted to make it through, it seemed like they would have to go through a tough battle.
Hua Yingling came to stand beside him and said, "There hasn't been any more help coming these few days. If the people of the Remote Star Upper Realm come, we might have to rely on ourselves to defend."
Zhang Chan said, "Zhenren Hua, how many Jade Gravel Seeds are left now?"
Hua Yingling said, "According to the current situation, there is still enough to last for five days. However, if the other side has more help, we might only be able to last for one or two days. Although Zhenren Sima is going to look for more, there is a limited number of Jade Gravel Seeds here, so they might not be able to be delivered in time."
Zhang Chan said decisively, "We don't have to worry about these Jade Gravel Seeds anymore. We will try our best to maintain our mana. Even after we break the formation, we will still have the strength to fight with them."
Hua Yingling nodded. This was undoubtedly the right choice.
The night passed quickly.
When the sun rose, according to common sense, the other side would begin to attack the formation. However, this time was different from the past. The invading enemy was silent.
Zhang Chan suddenly realized that something might happen today.
Sure enough, when it was close to noon, a series of ripples came from the atmosphere, and then the entire sky was torn apart with a loud bang. Then, a large city that covered the entire land in a layer of shadow appeared there!
