Chapter 982: God's Domain
The Feathered Divine Dynasty had withdrawn from the Reincarnation Realm.
But to everyone's perception, it wasn't a defeat but a strategic retreat after completing their strategic deployment.
Moreover, during the time they occupied it, they had reaped too many benefits from the Reincarnation Realm and knew it was impossible to hold it forever.
After a batch of powerhouses withdrew from the Reincarnation Realm, it led people to wonder what they had done inside the realm?
"The Reincarnation Realm is open, what should we do?" the Heavenly Demon asked.
"It's impossible for a single power to monopolize the Reincarnation Realm now, the best outcome is to keep it open, allowing everyone to enter."
War God stared intensely at the Reincarnation Realm; he was warlike but not reckless, "Those people that appeared just now gave me a very bad feeling. Without His Majesty's command, we should not enter for the time being. There could be grave dangers inside, but since the Feathered Divine Dynasty cannot control it, let the evil corpses from inside dilute everything."
"Ah!"
It seemed to confirm his speculation.
Elsewhere, Nie Wushuang had captured a large number of the Feathered Divine Dynasty's prisoners and sent them into the Reincarnation Realm, which immediately filled the air with heart-wrenching screams.
"There indeed are dangers."
The War God's brow furrowed tightly.
The Feathered Divine Dynasty was too ruthless—they feasted in the Reincarnation Realm and purposely left a mess behind, making it impossible for others to enter in a short time.
"It seems we won't be able to enter the Reincarnation Realm for a while, unless a being like the Divine Emperor pushes through with sheer force," said the Heavenly Demon.
"Alright, the army shall retreat. Despite slaying many enemies from the Feathered Dynasty, our losses were also significant. The feud between dynasties will be more ferocious and cruel than you can imagine. We must prepare," the War God lamented. "Sovereign... I too must step into the Sovereign realm as soon as possible. However, for me, war is the best booster."
"I also hope that War God can achieve the Sovereign status soon," said the Heavenly Demon sincerely.
Now that they were all subjects of the Divine Dynasties, War God becoming a Sovereign would mean an increase in the Divine Martial Dynasty's strength. Truly united under the cosmic heavens would be of great benefit to him as well.
The battle in the Reincarnation Realm was a fuse, marking the beginning of the prelude to a great war. The battle amongst the divine dynasties had begun.
A year had passed since the Reincarnation Realm incident, reaching the fifty-fourth year of the Divine Martial Era.
In that year, the armies of the three great divine dynasties fought fiercely in thousands of large and small battles. More often, it was the Divine Martial Dynasty and the Illusory Divine Dynasty attacking the Feathered Divine Dynasty.
The Feathered Divine Dynasty truly was fierce, withstanding attacks from two great dynasties and inflicting severe casualties on the enemy.
"The war among the three Divine Dynasties may go on for years, bloodshed every day. As numerous powerhouses fall, even more arise, heralding a new era. This battle will not cease until a true Sovereign emerges," powerful beings in the universe said with a sigh. The campaign of the three Divine Dynasties was so intense it left them hardly able to breathe.
Wars are easy to start, but ending them is not as simple as one might wish to stop.
Now, apart from the tangled combat of the three great Divine Dynasties, many powerful beings had concealed themselves.
"Your Majesty, just half a month ago, the Feathered Divine Dynasty attacked our Xuanhe star domain. The domain army bravely resisted, and later, General Jin Ling led reinforcements to support them. Though they managed to repel the attackers, the losses were grievous, and the population of the star domain plummeted," Lu Qianfu reported the latest situation within the Divine Martial Hall.
Even with national fate protecting the homeland, skirmishes and suppression of luck between dynasties were common even within their own territories.
"However, the Savage God Army, led by Beiming Fengye, has also invaded one of their star domains, slaying a large number of enemy leaders, earning distinguished military achievements. It's exhilarating to note that over these years of campaigning, Beiming Fengye has ascended to false supremacy, understanding the Savage Battle Domain."
Lu Qianfu reported both the good news and the bad news.
"Not only that, the Illusory Divine Dynasty is also making moves. Seizing the opportunity of our Divine Dynasty's fierce conflict with the Feathered Divine Dynasty, they seek gains, having already conquered lands of the Feathered Dynasty, deliberately letting us and the Feathered fight to the death so they can strengthen themselves."
The Feathered Divine Dynasty has significant strength; the Illusory Divine Dynasty's combat strategy is also very clear, which is to bring the balance of power among the three forces in line.
"The war of the Divine Dynasty has already begun. This is a clash of national fates, as well as a battle for the sole Sovereignty of the universe. No one has a path of retreat. Now some ancient forbidden lands and hidden supreme beings are not taking action, all waiting to see how things unfold."
Chu Yuan had always been focused on the battle situation.
Though a decisive battle had not yet erupted, accumulating smaller clashes could lead to a larger war.
His Divine Martial Dynasty had indeed suffered heavy losses over the past year, but by killing enemy troops and plundering the adversary, many more powerful figures had emerged.
He saw through it very clearly.
Now the scale of the war of the Divine Dynasties is still at a stage of mutual plunder and slaughter, naturally, it cannot immediately escalate into a war of national extinction, as the forces of both sides have not yet reached the level of completely suppressing the other.
"Reporting to the Divine Emperor, as the great war constantly engages in skirmishes, regiments in God's Domain have erupted into small-scale major battles. The situation is becoming increasingly intense as both sides continually send reinforcements. The War God has already led troops to stabilize the situation there. It's like adding fuel to the fire, with more and more large troops being invested, and the scale growing ever larger. The War God is inquiring whether we should continue to send troops to the battle in God's Domain."
Lu Qianfu also provided his report.
In fact, there weren't many large battles within the territories of the factions, mainly because the pressure of national destiny was too great, and more conflicts took place in the outside world.
"God's Domain!"
Chu Yuan was well aware of the major war in God's Domain.
At first, it was minor skirmishes, then mutual support ensued as neither side would yield, and the continuous reinforcements had made it a focal point for all to watch.
God's Domain, the place of the ancient Divine Court of the gods, is like the most central core of a Divine Dynasty.
The gods are rather unusual; the era they dominated was very brief, to withstand the cycle of heaven and earth, they were beset by calamities, and with the disintegration of the Divine Court, God's Domain also gradually became desolate.
Rumors suggest that the ancient Divine Court is hidden within God's Domain, but still, no one has found it.
God's Domain is vast and located in the central region of the three great Divine Dynasty's powers.
In truth, Chu Yuan knew from the moment they started sending reinforcements to God's Domain that a decisive battle was inevitable there, on a massive scale, potentially altering the future power dynamics of the universe.
The position of God's Domain is very favorable, and it is vast enough, with many remnants of the gods' legacy.
This is undeniable; the Feathered Divine Emperor intends to fight Divine Martial in God's Domain, and Chu Yuan wishes the same.
After all, the pressure of fighting within each other's Divine Dynasty territories is too great; only God's Domain is the best battlefield.
"Send out orders to the War God; the battle at God's Domain could very well be a decisive one, concerning the future direction. Since the Feathered Divine Dynasty intends to fight there, I will also join them in battle there,"
Chu Yuan said, "Keep reinforcing, bringing more generals and soldiers together there. Divine Martial was established through martial prowess, fearing nothing. Turn that place into a great decisive battlefield, and also stay vigilant against the Feathered Divine Emperor's schemes."
All the ministers nodded, their expressions solemn.
It is impossible to fight endless minor battles; a decisive campaign must also erupt. Whoever can massively annihilate their enemy in God's Domain will gain the upper hand in victory.
"The Illusory Divine Dynasty jumps around, trying to balance the situation, but I do not like this, some wars should not be prolonged."
Chu Yuan, with his hands behind his back, gazed into the sky.
