Shen Changqing looked at the values on his panel, wasting no time, and immediately with a thought, directly consumed one Origin Point to enhance Severing Cause and Effect.

Boom——

The Origin Point disappeared.

A strong buzzing sounded in his mind.

Suddenly.

The scene before his eyes changed.

He saw his own Divine Soul seemingly detach from his body, even freeing itself from the constraints of Heaven and Earth, directly entering the Heavens.

At that moment.

Shen Changqing felt as if he could overlook the Heavens, and countless invisible threads, unseen by ordinary people, were intertwined and chaotic there.

He involuntarily reached out, wanting to pluck one of the countless threads.

Boom!

In an instant.

Shen Changqing felt as if his head was struck by a heavy hammer, and the detached Divine Soul rapidly plummeted, soon disappearing into the Heavens.

However.

As he attempted to pluck the thread, top experts in the Heavens instinctively looked up toward the sky of the Universe.

"Karma——"

In the Divine Kingdom as vast as the Daqian World, the Emperor of the Ancient Desolate Divine Clan, Ancient Emperor, looked at the interwoven Power of Rule in the sky above the Divine Kingdom, a look of suspicion and uncertainty in his eyes.

Karma is hard to comprehend!

Even for a Divine Lord, attempting to understand matters on the level of Karma is virtually impossible.

Yet.

In that brief moment, he felt that his own Karma was seemingly touched by something.

Though he hadn’t mastered the power on the Karma level, it was impossible for him not to sense anything when his own Karma was involved.

At the first moment.

The Ancient Emperor’s expression grew serious: "There truly is an expert who comprehends the power on the Karma level. What could be their purpose in plucking the thread of my Karma? Could it be that they plan to take action against my Ancient Desolate Divine Clan!"

The Heavens are not at peace now, first with the advent of the Human Clan, then the emergence of the Emperor’s Skeleton. Both have stirred the winds and clouds of the Heavens.

Although the former has disappeared for a while after the Chaos Forbidden Zone battle, for the Myriad Clans, the matters of the Human Clan remain a thorn in the throat, one that cannot be truly appeased until it is eradicated.

Regrettably, the Human Clan seemed to have vanished into thin air, and no matter how the various Divine Clans calculated, they haven’t managed to deduce anything.

Then, there’s the Corpse Demon.

Up to now.

Many Divine Kings have died at the hands of the Corpse Demon, but its strength has increased so rapidly that even a Divine Lord couldn’t do more than severely injure it. Killing it is out of the question.

Additionally.

There’s the matter of the Divine Mandate Platform.

In an era of great contention.

Even the various Divine Clans wish to seize this opportunity.

It is imperative to compete for destiny and faith.

Though the Ancient Desolate Divine Clan has existed for countless age in the Heavens, with a profound foundation, it is not entirely impossible for other forces to target them.

Thinking of this.

The Ancient Emperor’s heart grew cold.

"If you intend to make a move against my clan, let’s see if you have the teeth for it. If it comes to war, would this Emperor fear even a bit?"

Murderous intent surged.

But this murderous intent was soon suppressed.

That mysterious presence plucked his causal thread, but truly tracing it is not easy.

Matters on the level of Karma are too mysterious, even for a Divine Lord they are hard to grasp.

Therefore.

Although the other party made a move in secret, the Ancient Emperor hadn’t thought of another solution for the time being.

However.

That pluck didn’t truly change anything.

This might be because the other party hadn’t mastered much of the power of Karma, or it might just be a test.

Which one it is remains temporarily unknown to him.

No matter which it is, he cannot sit by passively.

Rather than responding passively, it is better to take initiative.

As long as in the era of great contention they can secure an absolute advantage, the power of the Ancient Desolate Divine Clan will increase greatly, and in the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy will be futile.

Making a decision.

The Ancient Emperor’s figure directly vanished from the Divine Kingdom.

——

In the Endless Void, another endless Divine Kingdom was suspended.

On the throne of the Divine Kingdom, the Blood Emperor, who was refining the faith of all beings and comprehending the Power of Rule, suddenly opened his eyes, exceedingly cold golden light bursting forth, invoking terror among all beings in the Divine Kingdom.

"Ancient Desolate Divine Clan, courting death!"

Just a moment ago, he received a message from the Sikong Divine Clan saying that the Ancient Desolate Divine Clan suddenly made a move and attacked various clans under the jurisdiction of the Sikong Divine Clan.

Regarding this.

He certainly could not tolerate it.

In an era of great contention, having forces targeting the Sikong Divine Clan was something the Blood Emperor had anticipated long ago.

With the Ancient Desolate Divine Clan making a move now, he was not at all surprised.

Immediately.

The Blood Emperor disappeared from the Divine Kingdom, directly appearing within the Sikong Divine Clan.

"Your Majesty!"

"What is the situation?"

The Blood Emperor looked at the many elders of the Sikong Divine Clan, his expression indifferent.

Sikong Yucheng said, "The Ancient Desolate Divine Clan suddenly launched a massive attack. Up to now, four clans have sent messages requesting support from our clan. We have already sent some Divine Kings, and now the only concern is whether a Divine Lord will personally act."

If a Divine Lord acts!

That would be a devastating blow to Divine Kings.

The Blood Emperor shook his head, "You don’t need to worry about the Divine Lord’s matters. They won’t act recklessly. If a powerhouse at the Divine Lord level makes a move, it would mean a full-scale war between the two divine clans. The current situation is delicate; if the Ancient Desolate Divine Clan truly wants to start a full-scale war, they must consider the thoughts of other divine clans.

Moreover, while the Ancient Desolate Divine Clan has a Divine Lord, our Sikong Divine Clan is not in the least inferior."

As for a Divine Lord.

Which divine clan doesn’t have a powerhouse at the Divine Lord level holding the fort?

Then.

The Blood Emperor said again, "Also, pay attention to the situation of the Huanshan Divine Clan. See if any forces are eyeing them. If there are any, our clan doesn’t mind taking a share."

The fall of the Bai Emperor.

The Huanshan Divine Clan, on the surface, no longer has an Emperor holding the fort.

A divine clan without an Emperor holding the fort, to some extent, is considered the bottom among the divine clans, and the Huanshan Divine Clan holds considerable resources. It is hard to say if other divine clans have any designs.

Upon hearing this.

Sikong Yuzhen, who had been silent all along, spoke, "It’s rumored that after the fall of the Bai Emperor, the Huanshan Divine Clan opened a secret realm, from which an ancient Divine Lord emerged to take charge of the situation. While many divine clans have their eyes on the Huanshan Divine Clan, none have acted rashly."

"An ancient Divine Lord, hmph, just a Divine Lord past their prime, not worth fearing."

The Blood Emperor sneered.

Often referred to as an ancient Divine Lord, but more derogatorily, just an old undead one foot in the grave.

Such a Divine Lord is already on the verge of sitting in dissolution. They’ve always stayed within their secret realm for fear of exhausting their strength and prematurely expending their lifespan.

It can be said.

The strength of an ancient Divine Lord is strong, but not overwhelmingly so.

The Sikong Divine Clan also has such Divine Lords, but they generally remain in closed seclusion.

Either they sit in dissolution from exhaustion, or they succeed in a breakthrough, entering a higher level.

But the latter possibility is minimal, with almost no hope of success.

However.

No matter what, the Huanshan Divine Clan now has an ancient Divine Lord standing out; they are not an easy target. An ancient Divine Lord is far more ferocious than ordinary Divine Lords, and acting rashly now could provoke a desperate counterattack.

Because of this.

Even with the fall of the Bai Emperor, no forces have yet taken action against the Huanshan Divine Clan.

It’s not that they don’t dare.

But they cannot endure the consequences of such a Divine Lord’s desperate retaliation.

Should it be mishandled, it could lead to a lose-lose situation.

The other elders of the Sikong Divine Clan remained silent upon hearing this.

The Blood Emperor could disregard those ancient Divine Lords, but they could not.

After all, if word got out and reached the ears of the ancient Divine Lords of the Sikong Divine Clan, they wouldn’t be able to handle it.

——

"The actions of the Ancient Emperor have always been prudent, yet now he directly strikes against the Sikong Divine Clan. What is the reason behind this?"

In the Huanshan Divine Clan, the Bai Qing Divine King’s beautiful face showed a look of confusion.

The fall of the Bai Emperor.

The Huanshan Divine Clan is especially sensitive to the situation across the heavens.

Thus, the moment the two clans started fighting, the Huanshan Divine Clan had already received news.

Upon finishing, another Rule Divine King shook his head, "No matter the reason, as long as the war between the two clans doesn’t involve our Huanshan Divine Clan, that’s all that matters. For other matters, we can’t concern ourselves with them for now."

After speaking.

He looked toward a young man on the throne.

Although on the surface he appeared young, a sense of aging pervaded him, as if he could crumple back into void at any moment.

This was the ancient Divine Lord of the Huanshan Divine Clan who had emerged from the secret realm, currently the strongest being within the clan.

Hearing their words, Yuan Xing Divine Lord slowly spoke, his voice calm and without any fluctuation, "The affairs outside, you all needn’t concern yourselves with too much. For the moment, focus entirely on breaking through.

My time is running short. If within a century the Huanshan Divine Clan cannot produce a Divine Lord, the consequences would be unimaginable."

Upon these words.

All the Divine Kings looked grave.

Achieving the Proof Path and becoming a Divine Lord is no easy task.

"In a few decades, the Divine Mandate Platform will reopen, which will be your only chance. Enter the Divine Mandate Platform, make a mark on the Rule Divine King List, and only then will there be a true hope to prove the path and become a Divine Lord."

Yuan Xing Divine Lord spoke.

There are three hundred slots for each of the first three realms of Divine King on the list, and one hundred slots for the Fourth Realm of God King, totaling a thousand slots.

To enter the Rule Divine King List, one must ensure they rank within the top one hundred among all Fourth Realm God Kings across the heavens, a very high level of difficulty.

In his view, looking at all the Divine Kings of the Huanshan Divine Clan, if they give it their all, occupying one or two slots shouldn’t be too much of a problem.
