But things did not go according to the expected speculation.
"I have returned to the original route and wasnât struck. It seems that during the time I was advancing while feigning death, the supervision of the Starry Sky Rules weakened again... Something must have happened, making the Starry Sky Rules less attentive to the Newborn Land. That mysterious space I entered earlier, no matter how I see it, it was definitely meant for capturing something..."
Although he had escaped, Xing Yuan wasnât particularly happy.
This time, he seemed to see more secrets.
He knew nothing of these secrets.
This was a very dangerous state.
"Huh... No matter what, I canât go back to that place to find out the situation. I should head to the Newborn Land first. As long as I can obtain a major opportunity there, it should be enough for me to advance further. By then, I will have the capability to deal with any crisis."
Facing the unknown, Xing Yuan chose a route similar to Wang Shengâs.
That is to first secure the benefits within reach and enhance his strength; this way, heâll have confidence in facing any crisis.
Without any hesitation, Xing Yuan continued forward.
"This unexpected event isnât entirely without benefits. Heading to the Newborn Land while conscious will save me the revival time, which takes a significant amount of time."
Even with preparation, the revival of the Twelfth Realm takes considerable time.
Waking up unexpectedly was advantageous for him as long as he could reach the Newborn Land smoothly.
However, he dared not speed up his movement.
His smuggling passage must not create too much commotion...
What Xing Yuan did not know was that shortly after he left, a being exuding the aura of the Ten Realms suddenly appeared.
With a wave of this beingâs hand, the mysterious space that once trapped Xing Yuan turned into a four-sided cage with a hole in it. Looking at the hole, his emotions carried some apprehension: "To have captured a being of the Twelfth Realm, how could this be possible, it shouldnât be..."
Even though, due to certain events, a Twelfth Realm being was no longer at the top of the pyramid, they were still top-tier powerhouses that could easily kill him.
Even if trapped, he dared not approach.
He had already notified the ancestor, but before the ancestor arrived, the being had already escaped and vanished.
Just as he was feeling apprehensive, another figure appeared.
"Ancestor..." Upon seeing this figure, he respectfully handed over the cage and explained the entire process.
This time, secretly borrowing the ancestorâs treasure, the Four-sided Cage, and even damaging it, was a grave mistake.
He would likely face punishment.
Since their lineage was single-threaded, otherwise, punishment wouldnât be as simple.
But after waiting for a long time, no reprimand came.
He only saw his ancestor staring at the Four-sided Cage, muttering words he couldnât understand:
"Didnât expect it to really exist... The First Experimental Field..."
...
After Xing Yuan left the mysterious space, Hong Yun quickly received feedback.
"Everyone, Xing Yuan successfully escaped the danger. The plan succeeded, and if all goes well, our entry into the Newborn Land will be earlier than anticipated."
"Thatâs great..."
"However, this time the commotion was quite large. Wonât it arouse the vigilance of the Newborn Landâs beings? You know, the Newborn Land has been developing rapidly. They are aware of how much commotion Xing Yuanâs method caused."
"What if they are vigilant? The Newborn Land has only developed for ten thousand years. What kind of people could emerge? Let alone the native beings of the Newborn Land, even if the Silver Light Lord knows itâs us influencing their old place, what can he do? He will be even more fearful!" Someone dismissed the concern, believing that ten thousand years of development meant the Newborn Land could never be their match.
"Thatâs right. We must also thank the Light of Lord this time, for being able to temporarily control Silver Light."
"Indeed, but itâs still a pity. If the Silver Light Lordâs strength reached the Twelfth Realm or controlled the time a bit longer, we could have breached the passage directly, without all this trouble. The strengths from the old land arenât as special as Wang Sheng, capable of easily breaching the passage."
The method they passed down wasnât intended for the Newborn Landâs beings to achieve, but to deepen the old landâs influence on the Newborn Land.
Relying on the power to control the Silver Light Lord couldnât open the passage.
The Lord of Light shook his head, saying: "Originally, this was my future means, but unfortunately, I had to use it ahead of time this time. Achieving this level was only possible with your strength, otherwise, even simple control wouldâve been impossible."
"No need to be modest, Lord of Light. We couldnât even manage simple control."
"I couldnât do it before either, but youâve felt it, right? The supervision of the Starry Sky Rules keeps declining, not sure if itâs a good thing..."
They only noticed the supervision becoming weaker, which is why they sent Star Abyss Saint Emperor out.
Originally it had reached its limit, yet these years this decline hasnât stopped.
It seems beneficial for them, but the Starry Sky Rules donât weaken without reason. If this continues, theyâre unsure of what might happen.
The atmosphere became somewhat somber.
This issue wasnât openly addressed but was a concern for each Saint Emperor.
More is not always better!
Finally, Hong Yun, observing the heavy atmosphere, said: "No matter what, the plan has already started and cannot be stopped. You all can only move forward, so letâs wait..."
Soon, each Saint Emperor dispersed, marking the end of the temporary meeting.
However, each left with countless thoughts.
The Lord of Light, returning to his Divine Country of Faith, felt the faint mark, muttering to himself: "I hope the Silver Light strives harder..."
With such a massive power move, how could he not leave any means behind?
"The more you strive to develop, the more beneficial it is for me... The path of faith is even more perilous than you imagine."
Everyone believed the Silver Light Lord posed too great a threat, so efforts to eliminate him were necessary.
But why couldnât it be that this was his plan all along?
Faith, seemingly superficial, is actually a top-tier power.
Let alone the Twelfth Realm, even breaking beyond it, faith remains a top-tier power.
Canât break through?
That just means there arenât enough devout believers!
The Silver Light Lord is now his faith collector...
Removing one-third of the marks on himself; even if the Silver Light Lord is capable, the deepest one remains immovable.
At this moment, the Silver Light Lord was conducting a thorough self-examination.
"If it wasnât for this sudden exposure, I wouldnât have noticed there were ten marks on me... The Lord of Light must be using these marks to control me.
And the nebula in the starry sky seems to be the means of the Star Abyss Saint Emperor. The old landâs strong have begun their final plans, speeding up is essential, even if the origin is sacrificed, as long as success is achieved, all can be replenished."
In fact, the Silver Light Lord was more vulnerable than imagined.
Thirteen marks, only discovering ten, let alone the deepest hidden one.
He was scared by these marks, choosing to expedite the process even at the cost of damaging his source.
It wasnât just him; Wang Sheng also sensed something abnormal.
Because the disturbance caused by Xing Yuan was enormous.
Even while in seclusion, he felt it.
"This direction is the Silver Light Worldâs direction. Did Silver Light Lord do something?"
After breaking into the Eleventh Realm, his focus shifted to the old land, reducing his attention on the Silver Light Lord.
However, he always maintained some observation.
After all, as long as the Source Star develops, they will inevitably clash.
A battle between them is inevitable.
Yet Wang Sheng wasnât overly concerned. Breaking through the Refining God and Returning Void Heavenly Gate put him at the pinnacle of the Eleventh Realm, let alone his further progress.
The Silver Light Lord, though strong, was no match for him.
Currently, it was only due to the distance that he didnât have time to settle it.
With time, he could accumulate enough to enter the Twelfth Realm.
But the significant disturbance this time demanded his attention.
"Could it be that he had a breakthrough?"
If so, he needed to keep an eye out. A breakthrough to the Twelfth Realm would indeed be a trouble.
Although now the threat of the Twelfth Realm to him has diminished considerably, even without special methods, they couldnât effectively harm him.
Yet he couldnât suppress it.
Thus, he constantly observed the newly formed nebula, replaying the formation process in his mind.
Soon, he discovered something amiss.
The formation process of that nebula was strangely familiar to him.
"This is Xing Yuan. No wonder it felt familiar. The formation of the nebula is very similar to the Black Abyssâs ultimate move âDevour Starâ, or it could be said they are essentially the same!"
"Could it be that the old land can already interfere with the Newborn Land?"
