Chapter 1868: Chapter 1868: Reactions from All Sides
The Divine Martial Empire suddenly established the Second City within the Eternal Killing Formation, news that spread like a storm on the Eternal Path.
This was too sudden.
Some people couldn’t believe it when they found out.
If anyone else built a city within the Eternal Killing Formation, it would cause a ripple, but certainly not as intense; the significance of the two differs.
This epoch is too powerful, so powerful it’s terrifying.
The Martial Emperor is like a stirrer of storms, creating boundless turmoil and throwing the entire Eternal Path into chaos.
Though the Eternal Path itself is very chaotic, this chaos is different, such that even if the Extreme Dao Emperor stirs up killing, many at the Eternal level wouldn’t care, as it’s for personal battle.
But.
Divine Martial is different.
His ambition is apparent to all; it is to become the strongest.
The strongest have not appeared for many epochs.
While not all Eternal levels, at least most, 70 to 80 percent, do not want the strongest to appear.
Because once the strongest emerges, there exists a presence suppressing antiquity, and one stands above them, preventing them from hunting those about to ascend the Dao, and instead they might be regulated.
The Eternal Divine Ship is majestic, yet it also has negative effects. It’s such a time with so many strong individuals, so boundless wisdom failing to break eternity makes many Eternal level think even cooperation couldn’t break the curse.
Those who don’t want the strongest to appear will become your enemies.
Chu Yuan sat quietly in the Second City.
His expression was calm as he awaited news. He had stirred this storm and was ready.
He knew the Second City would inevitably cause great backlash; those people wouldn’t idly watch him grow and would seek to suppress him while he’s still weak, otherwise things would spiral uncontrollably.
But this was equally a battle to establish authority. If he could withstand this wave of attacks, establish iron-blooded dignity, then he could gather boundless momentum, using the power of people’s hearts to cleanse and elevate himself.
Moreover, later on, establishing the third or fourth city would be much easier.
The reason for building the Second City now was actually to cleanse and elevate himself.
With city after city, he evolves his Eternal Path, extending it endlessly, collecting boundless faith, transforming it into rolling national fortune, to powerfully wash himself to the Ninth Realm.
At his level, breaking through in power isn’t possible just with some eternal breath.
He had no choice; he must fight his way out, leveraging the advantages of this epoch. "I await you."
In Chu Yuan’s eyes, there was a fierce light, piercing the heavens.
He knew many were thinking of how to deal with him.
Yet, this path was one of enemies worldwide.
"Divine Martial built the Second City within the Eternal Killing Formation and has already expelled outsiders. The Second City stands tall!"
"What, Divine Martial actually built the Second City within the Eternal Killing Formation? What are they intending? Are they no longer content with being confined within the multiverse, and now intend to break out?"
"Divine Martial wanted to break out long ago, didn’t they? This epoch is too powerful, unimaginably so."
"Such madness will bring about his destruction!"
...
The news fermented in just a few months, sweeping like a hurricane.
"They establish cities within the Eternal Killing Formation intending to become the strongest. Aren’t they afraid of their plans failing and being flattened by numerous powers, ending up in misery? If it were me, I certainly wouldn’t be so arrogant, but instead I’d accumulate strength, revealing my ambition only once my strength was sufficient."
Some voiced such doubts. "That’s why you’re not Divine Martial; you will never be the strongest. You’ve cultivated for many epochs without progress; the great Martial Emperor’s mind would never be as you think. He relies on the multiverse. With his power, what if he fails at building the city? Could you reach the multiverse?"
Many gathered together, discussing these matters.
"Oh, I understand now, relying on the multiverse to dare to be so reckless, but this recklessness is supported by power. Indeed, the Martial Emperor, he doesn’t fear failure, but rather pushes his advantage to the limit."
"Storms will arise, and the days ahead won’t be easy."
...
Though much was discussed, no one dared act rashly in the short term; they needed a leading force to take the lead in attacking Divine Martial’s Second City, extinguishing his ambition.
Many messages were also sent out.
The Martial Emperor had secluded for tens of thousands of years, his mana greatly refined, stronger than when he battled the Extreme Dao Emperor in the Xuanming Place, though still not achieving the Eternal level, yet his true battle power rivaled the Eternal level.
Previously repelling the Extreme Dao Emperor shook the world, unforgettable.
Their speculation was indeed correct; Chu Yuan indeed possessed Eternal level strength.
However, the battle within the Eternal Divine Ship hadn’t spread; it wasn’t a glorious matter for the Beyond Emperor, thus wouldn’t be widely publicized.
But anyhow.
All these things combined resulted in a situation where individual forces dared not attack Divine Martial.
Immortal Holy Land.
Within the brightly lit Immortal Temple. "Honored Holy Ones, Divine Martial has already built the Second City within the Eternal Killing Formation. Though we previously maintained friendly relations with Divine Martial, this matter is too significant for anyone to make a decision. There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests."
In the Immortal Holy Land, all origin gods gathered together.
Fan Gu looked at everyone, speaking solemnly. "I’m unsure, activate the Immortal Great Formation, and consult the immortal counsel."
A woman frowned.
In this Immortal Temple, there was an empty Immortal Divine Seat.
"Oh great immortal, this epoch, Divine Martial Empire, has the ambition of becoming the strongest. Now, they’ve built the Second City within the Eternal Killing Formation, seeking to open the ancient Eternal Path. We ask for your divine decree to guide us, and tell us what actions to take?"
They called upon the immortal, awaiting the decree.
After a long time, an intent descended from a mysterious space-time, slowly forming a sacred shadow.
"Immortal Holy Land, observe changes, do not act against Divine Martial, but also do not assist." The immortal’s decree was clear: don’t fight nor assist, watching as an observer, letting Divine Martial aim to become the strongest.
This was his principle.
The immortal’s principles weren’t so domineering; everything was for his own eternal existence. Clearly, the immortal understood well, fighting Divine Martial didn’t yield benefits commensurate with the loss.
Even if Divine Martial became the strongest, as long as he could live longer, he was willing to help.
Different paths, personality factors, all lead to different choices.
Not only in the Immortal Holy Land, even in the Qian Kun Divine Dynasty, the same intention was descended, neither assisting nor fighting.
While some chose to ignore, others were more aggressive.
