883 Three Years
It was the best explanation that Cain could come up with. His reasoning could also be something else entirely. None of them would ever be known.
"Ahh...whatever." Kali casually shrugs. "He gave us great gifts so let's not waste them! Hopefully, those bastards don't decide to leave when we're finished with this Dao Fruit. It will be oh-so fantastic to kill them at their full powers. I'm getting tingles just thinking about it."
As she spoke, Kali already assimilated into a cultivation state, took out the Martial Dao Fruit, and began the absorption process.
Cain and Luo Na were quick to follow her lead. The thought of revenge was just one of the many burning drives fueling their motivation for greater cultivation.
...
Outside of the Demi-God realm.
Inside a large, dimly lit cave. Lights of the Great Dao rippled through space. Space shattered like glasses as numerous divine lights quickly flew out.
These divine lights transformed into the majestic forms of the supreme geniuses of the peak sects.
The Heavenly Space Ripple, Divine Frost Time, Grand Celestial Sword, Supreme Soul Void, Space Fire, Boundless Sword, and Soul Spear, all these geniuses were huddled in their groups as they appeared.
The last thing they remembered was a massive Dao portal that covered the entire Space World and unleashed a suction force none of them could resist. novE)lb-In
Wearily looking around to gain their surroundings, Xuegang, Zhen Meng, Song Shen, and Yang Yimu were silent, their expressions dark, their moods far worse than when they had first entered this realm inheritance.
Compared to them, the other geniuses all lost their confidence. Their supreme momentum when chasing down Cain's group was nowhere to be seen.
With all that occurred, it was a brainer on what had happened.
Tang Xiang quietly sighed when saying, "Whatever those three gained will most likely boost their cultivation to a far greater level. It will also take some time to achieve it, even with the help of Demi-God's resources."
"If we just leave them alone and inform our sect, then it will simply be impossible for us to ever gain the manual. Furthermore, there may be a considerably powerful sect or family that would scheme to take pity on them and garner their support, protecting them and giving them room for growth. If that occurs, it will be complete chaos for our entire Heaven. We absolutely can't leave them alone." Chen Pao calmly spoke.
Nearly all other supreme geniuses nodded at Chen Pao's reasoning. The most horrifying thing is when talent actually blossoms into true strength.
When that occurs, there's no stopping that talent. Their words will be the law and their actions will control the world.
How could rivaling geniuses just let Cain, Kali, and Luo Na rise up to dominate the era?
None of them were willing to be suppressed. Nor did they ever want to give up on gaining the Emperor Of Gods Manual.
It was at this time that the Heavenly Space Ripple geniuses tightly clenched their fists. Their intent gazes fearlessly fell upon the other geniuses, uncaring that their ferocious killing intents were permeating the atmosphere.
Xuegang coldly spat out, "You're all quite persistent. Even now, all on your mind is just killing or capturing them."
"Haah..." Lian Yu wearily sighed. "You make it sound like we're some kind of villains. And even if we were, none of that matters to us. The Emperor Of Gods Manual gives precedent over anything else. Additionally, among us all, I much rather have a native of our world reign supreme than these aliens."
At this point, Empress Sword coldly chuckled. She gained the confidence to stare straight into the terrifying killing gazes of the Heavenly Space Ripple geniuses, directly stating, "I still do not understand why all of you are so persistent in aiding those three. What can loyalty really give you when they're not at a level where they can dominate the Heavens? Their loyalty will only mean something when they have that kind of power. Unlike you all, we won't bother to limit ourselves for our greater ambitions."
"You all..." Chen Pao swiftly spoke up next. His eyes faintly gleamed an icy light, exuding a cold that caused a faint shiver to course through other geniuses' souls. "Will you all be insistent on getting in our way? On the outside world, the balance is tipped heavily in one way."
"Yo-" Yang Yimu wanted to say something. The others wanted to speak.
But right then, Xuegang swept a cold gaze at her own group members. Her stare told it all. With the orders she gives, nobody is allowed to disobey. No matter if they were another monarch above the supreme heavens.
The other three wanted to speak. Yet, when they saw Xuegang like this, they all knew it was impossible to say anything else. They kept silent.
While Xuegang looked back over and simply said, "No, we won't. Farewell."
Xuegang took the lead in leaving the cave. She flew out as a divine light with the others following close behind her.
Whether or not this group would truly leave caused little ripples in the other's minds. Even if they did decide to stay close by, the geniuses were more than confident that their combined forces could completely suppress any single group of Supreme Geniuses.
On the outside world, Xuegang's group soared out at a moderate pace. They truly looked like they were leaving.
But before getting too far, Yang Yimu could not contain herself. She loudly spat out; her tone filled with disgust. "This all just too shameless and vile! Since when the pride and honor of using divine cultivators can be so easily forgotten when resources come into question? This just never stops happening, no matter where we go, even in our sect..."
"Even as we didn't get to know each other for long, just leaving like this doesn't sit right with me." Song Shen grumbled out loud.
Zhen Meng crossed her arms with a pondering expression. "It's just our nature. Even many saints in the Qing Family would not hesitate when it comes to gaining something that can transform their lives. But I do agree that there should be some sort of standard. If not, we'll fall in the same line, chaos will ensue even if it comes after thousands of years, and it will be a horrific day for all of us. Although, senior sister, you never intended to leave in the first place, right?"
Xuegang faintly smiled. "Indeed. Even without consideration, the thought of letting any of them gain more power will truly spell chaos for everyone else. Each of them, even those Inner Ridge geniuses has talents that can change the entire landscape of this heavens. But above all, I do not want to destroy our relationship with them. Thus, when we reach far away from their senses, we will employ the concealment talisman and wait it out. We should get comfortable during this time. I do not expect their breakthrough to be quick."
"Mn. Understood." Nobody else was in disagreement.
Time that can even extend for years means nothing for any divine cultivator. Ten years passing in a seclusion chamber would go by in the blink of an eye when engrossed in their divine trance.
With their plan in mind, the Heavenly Space Ripple geniuses quickly flew until they were out of everyone's senses.
...
Numerous realms, dimensions, and planes away from the Soul God World.
Across several other lower Heavens.
The Divine Boundless Heavens.
Time flew by like the wind for the God Galaxy. Since various chaotic events, months to long years have already passed.
It was around three full years since Cain's group had left for the Soul God World.
Numerous geniuses across the Heavens were hard at work with whatever divine training their masters were coming up with. Or working hard to complete several divine inheritance populated across the several realms.
At this time, within the Divine Plane, a group of geniuses many would never expect to be here were carefully strolling a land of brilliant golden light.
The entire divine planet was drenched in this dazzling golden hue, exuding beautiful rays brighter than sun rays.
Anyone lower divine cultivator wouldn't be able to look. A pull would course through their souls, forcing them all to gaze deeply into this golden hue to figure out the endless secrets it holds.
The group of geniuses walking this golden land were not unknown or mysterious.
Far from it.
These four were actually the genius Young Kings who once stood at the very top of the entire younger generation.
Cao De the Heavenly Monster Prince, Fang Pan who was mainly known as Prime Crimson Star, Wen Ya the Nether Maiden, and Hao Long the once Young Dragon Emperor.
