Chapter 596

Silence!

At this moment, the high priest fell into a prolonged silence.

The words of the Star God delivered a profound shock to his worldview.

Particularly the relationship between the Wealth God and the Time and Space maintainers, as well as between the sub-timelines and the main Time and Space, stirred ripples in his otherwise tranquil heart.

Wealth God!

Time and Space maintainers!

Main Time and Space!

When these terms connected in his mind, he envisioned… transcendence!

At this very moment, the Star God sat beside him, utilizing information and truths from various sub-timelines to analyze, dissect, and propose trial plans along with their possibilities of success.

The high priest transitioned from initial silence to gradually expressing his thoughts, and eventually, his tone became slightly animated.

Of course, he would not readily trust the Star God.

Having lived so long, what had he not witnessed?

Not even the Star God, nor his closest relatives, could earn his trust without caution.

But he divined, calculated, and deduced… employing various methods to scrutinize whether there was any element of unreasonableness in the Star God’s assertions.

As for directly deducing the situations of the sub-timelines and the main Time and Space?

Forget it!

The recent disturbances in the order of time and space had just led to suppression at the border.

The river of time would intervene.

Thus, it was prudent to be cautious; most importantly, using time to deduce the Time and Space maintainers?

Didn’t that sound absurd?

Finally, after querying the Star God on numerous details and addressing his concerns, all of which the Star God answered flawlessly, the high priest’s heart was moved.

Especially after the Star God depicted the ideal life of transcendence, his once-dormant heart began to stir again.

Divination and deduction!

What the Star God said was all true!

In fact, just moments ago, he had employed a divine technique that touched the very essence of his life to examine the matters spoken by the Star God.

It was real!

Everything!

It was all real!

The Star God did not deceive him!

The instinctive response from the mysterious realm, along with the preliminary examination using a hair from the Star God, could attest that the Star God’s words were not false.

Moreover, he perceived the Star God’s sincerity; if he didn’t genuinely harbor this idea, why would the Star God so generously offer him a strand of his hair?

At their level, even a single strand of hair could obliterate a star!

And there are even more factors involved.

Of course, the reasons mentioned above aren’t the most crucial.

The most critical thing is that he’s enveloped in dead air.

If he doesn’t transcend, he will die.

If there were no way out and no hope, then so be it.

But now he sees hope, especially… a hope with a very high chance of success.

So he wants to take a gamble!

To bet on his path to transcendence!

What if the Star God has some ulterior motives?

At their level, who doesn’t have a few schemes?

It’s all just a struggle for transcendence!

But this matter can only proceed after killing the God of Wealth.

Before the God of Wealth in the main Time and Space is dead, there’s no conflict of interest between him and the Star God!

“You said that in over a hundred years, the true self of the God of Wealth will descend, right?”

The high priest took a deep breath and confirmed again.

“Correct.”

The Star God nodded; this is beyond doubt!

“Good, then I understand.”

The high priest spoke, “I have lived for too long, so without harming my life source, I need to use some means to achieve sublimation.”

“In over a hundred years… though the time is a bit tight, it should be sufficient.”

The Star God nodded slightly upon hearing this, then suddenly asked, “Do I need to notify others? Like your clan’s Speaker…”

Before he could finish, the high priest raised his hand to interrupt him.

“No need!”

“You and I are enough!”

“As for some powers within my clan, I have ways to call upon them directly if necessary!”

“After all, the conflict between two universes requires everyone to put in their full effort to resist.”

“Star God, you’re very clever; what do you think?”

The Star God smiled slightly and replied, “I think so too. If there are too many people, it brings some uncertainties.”

The high priest smiled and said, “Exactly, just as my clan will infiltrate the Divine Fate Universe, your Divine Fate Universe has also counter-infiltrated us a lot during these epochs.”

“Yes, if a traitor from the Divine Fate Universe gets wind of it, that would be awkward.”

“Right, that’s exactly what I mean.”

“By the way, while you’re in seclusion for sublimation, I’ll need to make some arrangements that require the cooperation of a few True Kings from the Immortal Clan.”

“I understand.”

As the high priest spoke, a Token floated out from his forehead.

“From today onward, you will be the high priest of the Immortal Clan!”

“As the high priest, you have the authority to directly command the True Kings!”

“Unless the council is convened and the Speaker proposes it, with more than two-thirds of the True Kings opposing your orders, they will have no choice but to obey your commands.”

“But don’t worry—I have allies in the council, and I’ll arrange everything before I go into seclusion.”

“As long as you don’t blatantly funnel benefits to the Divine Fate Universe, I think… as long as I’m alive, no one will dare to strip you of your title as high priest.”

After receiving the Token, the Star God said softly, “Then let’s hope for a successful partnership!”

He didn’t absorb the Token into his body.

After all, he wasn’t sure if this old man had tampered with it in some way.

The Remnant Clan was notorious for spiritual corruption.

It was hard enough to guard against under normal circumstances, let alone when dealing with someone like the high priest of the Remnant Clan.

“To a successful partnership!”

With that, the high priest turned and vanished on the spot.

The Star God held the high priest’s Token aloft with dark star power, standing still in deep thought, his eyes flickering as if pondering something.

Soon, earth-shattering news rippled through the entire Remnant Universe and quickly spread to the Divine Fate Universe through various networks.

The current high priest of the Remnant Clan had chosen to step down!

A successor had been named!

The Star God of the Ninth Age from the Divine Fate Universe!

Of course, the newly appointed Star God still needed the recognition of various parties.

Only after the current high priest transferred all the rule-based powers before his death would he become the true high priest of the Remnant Clan.

For now, he was merely a provisional high priest!

But even so, this was an absolutely staggering piece of news that left everyone reeling.

Not only did the higher-ups of the Remnant Clan find it unbelievable, but the Divine Fate Universe was equally stunned.

It was simply beyond imagination!

At this point, questioning whether the Star God had betrayed anyone seemed almost foolish.

The Star God!

He had risen to the very top of the Remnant Clan!

This was like a military commander from one nation becoming the supreme ruler of the enemy nation!

At the very core of power!

Throughout history, nothing had been as shocking as the Star God becoming the high priest of the Remnant Clan.

Every being in both universes who heard this news found their worldview severely shaken!
