Chapter 539: Chapter539-The Decline of Heaven and Man

Hollen Oracle-grade did not believe Faustus would dare do anything to him.

Ever since the Holy Golden Mountain was founded, it had been famous for Songshan, which was also why it had been able to develop so rapidly.

Even if the Holy Golden Mountain headquarters later sent someone to question him, Hollen Oracle-grade could confidently argue that Faustus Oracle-grade had been the one to break the rules first.

He had clearly sent people to request reinforcements, yet Faustus Oracle-grade had instead tried to seize the foundation belonging to him, Hollen.

Anyone in his position would have chosen to withdraw from the Holy Golden Mountain, Hollen Oracle-grade thought to himself.

At that moment, a faint voice suddenly sounded beside his ear.

Hollen Hollen did not react at first. Only afterward did his eyes suddenly snap open.

"Faustus? What is he doing here?"

He recognized the other party’s voice.

Whoosh!

In the next instant, that figure appeared directly before him.

Hollen immediately shuddered, his confidence weakening considerably.

After all, the man standing before him had instantly killed Prad Oracle-grade.

And Prad Oracle-grade had been stronger than Hollen.

In other words, if Faustus Oracle-grade wanted to eliminate him, it would be incredibly easy.

Hollen Oracle-grade forced himself to remain calm.

"I’ve already withdrawn from the Holy Golden Mountain. Why are you still coming after me?"

His face was deathly pale as he continued,

"The Holy Golden Mountain headquarters still has its rules, Faustus Oracle-grade. I advise you not to act recklessly."

Daniel stared at him coldly.

"What connections you have has nothing to do with me."

"I only have one question."

"Why did you withdraw from the Holy Golden Mountain?"

Hollen Oracle-grade immediately retorted,

"What? Hasn’t the Holy Golden Mountain always allowed people to stay if they want and leave if they want?"

"That was a rule established by our ancestors."

"If I’m unhappy here, then naturally I’m free to leave."

Daniel immediately sneered.

"Heh. The old rules are obsolete now."

"I am currently the Mountain Lord of the Holy Golden Mountain."

"If you wanted to leave, shouldn’t you at least have informed me first?"

At that point, Daniel suddenly shouted,

"I think you clearly look down on me!"

"You actually dare show contempt toward a Mountain Lord?"

"What punishment do you deserve?!"

Hollen Oracle-grade had never expected Daniel to be this forceful.

For a moment, he could not even find the words to argue back.

Daniel could no longer be bothered wasting words with him.

He suddenly cursed,

"Hollen, since you dared to show contempt toward me, you’ll have to pay the price."

"Cosmic Reincarnation Body!"

The next instant, a Divine Halo of Reincarnation appeared behind Daniel’s head.

A terrifying colossal palm suddenly manifested.

The instant the giant palm appeared, the entire palace collapsed, and the whole world began trembling.

As the colossal palm lightly swept downward—

Hollen Oracle-grade’s eyes nearly split apart from rage.

He hurriedly raised his hands to resist.

One Sacred Art and Secret Treasure after another appeared as he desperately tried to block the attack.

But he had forgotten one thing.

Prad Oracle-grade, who had been far stronger than him, had already been instantly killed by this very Sacred Art.

So what difference could it possibly make even if Hollen exhausted every method he possessed?

In 仅波 the blink of an eye, the colossal palm suppressed Hollen Oracle-grade and annihilated him into nothingness.

Thus ended Hollen Oracle-grade’s life and death.

At the same time, Daniel waved his hand, and the Sacred Art dissipated.

Before him, Hollen Oracle-grade’s corpse disappeared completely, reduced directly to powder.

He could not possibly be any more dead.

Daniel said coldly,

"This is the consequence of showing contempt toward me."

Then his figure vanished from the spot.

Before long, countless Holy Golden Mountain powerhouses received a piece of news.

T6 Oracle-grade Hollen had actually been instantly killed by Faustus Oracle-grade.

And the reason was simply that he had shown contempt toward Faustus, the branch leader.

Immediately, the several hundred Oracle-grade powerhouses who had chosen to remain behind could not help drawing in sharp breaths.

The title Great Demon King Faustus truly had not been given for nothing.

A person’s name might be wrong.

But a nickname was never wrong.

Immediately—

Those Oracle-grade powerhouses obediently handed over their territories.

Could they refuse?

Of course they could.

Hollen Oracle-grade was what happened to those who refused to hand over their territory.

Did they want the same fate?

Wave after wave of players under Daniel’s command set out and began taking control of the territories belonging to the Holy Golden Mountain’s Oracle-grade powerhouses.

It was like an ancient emperor stripping feudal lords of their domains.

Local powers were uprooted one after another as authority was centralized under the branch.

The Oracle-grade powerhouses who surrendered their territories could only return to the Gold-Grade Sacred Realm and obediently become Daniel’s resources and hired muscle.

As for those Oracle-grade powerhouses who possessed no territory—

One day, they suddenly discovered that their contribution-point exchange function had been forcibly restricted.

They could only make one exchange per day.

After making an exchange, they would then have to wait seven days, seven years, seventy years, or seven hundred years respectively before they could exchange again.

If they wanted unlimited exchanges—

They had to sign a contract with Daniel and become his workers.

Some of those Oracle-grade powerhouses withdrew.

Others reluctantly signed the agreement.

For a time, the number of Oracle-grade powerhouses within the Gold-Grade Sacred Realm skyrocketed to several hundred.

...

The Endless Starfield.

The Myriad Races Universe.

The former Holy Golden Mountain headquarters.

Daniel arrived here and chose to enter the largest Secret Realm within it.

The former Holy Golden Mountain headquarters contained Secret Realms opened by Eternal powerhouses.

There were countless natural Treasure Lands inside them.

The new leader had taken away many things, but Secret Realms themselves could not be moved.

They could only be left behind.

Daniel entered Secret Realm No. 1.

With a casual wave of his hand—

Countless treasures appeared before him.

The treasures piled into mountains, forming several hundred enormous peaks.

These were all resources left behind by the Holy Golden Mountain.

In any case, Daniel now completely controlled the Holy Golden Mountain from top to bottom.

His word had already become absolute.

Forget merely using some resources—

So what if he emptied the entire place?

"It’s time to undergo another tribulation."

Daniel sensed the signs of an approaching Cosmic Tribulation.

He was currently Tier-4 Oracle-grade.

If he underwent another tribulation, he would become Tier-5 Oracle-grade.

Naturally, undergoing a tribulation required preparing a grand tribulation formation.

Daniel possessed Grand Oracle Sophis’s experiences.

He was extremely familiar with Grand Oracle Sophis’s formation techniques.

Setting up the formation was not a problem.

Resources were even less of a problem.

"However, Boren and Gison are also preparing to undergo their tribulations soon and become Oracle-grade."

Daniel thought,

"My Cosmic Tribulation will arrive a little later."

"I can set up the formation for them first, let them undergo their tribulations, and then undergo mine afterward."

For both Boren and Gison, this would be their first tribulation.

The Peerless Grand Formation would be more than sufficient for them.

Throughout these years—

Boren and Gison had both been working for Daniel.

While the main body cultivated, the clones helped suppress and oversee Daniel’s territories throughout the Chaosverse.

Thinking of this, Daniel waved his hand.

The treasure mountains and precious materials before him all floated into the air and began rearranging themselves.

The tribulation formation mastered by Grand Oracle Sophis had been his own creation.

It incorporated the formation insights of countless mighty predecessors and was a formation Sophis had personally deduced and perfected.

It could be described as extraordinarily comprehensive.

Daniel had inherited Sophis’s legacy.

Naturally, he would use Sophis’s tribulation formation as well.

Before long—

After Daniel consumed most of the treasure mountains, the grand tribulation formation was finally complete.

This Secret Realm possessed natural treasure mountains whose quality was even better than those within the Sacred Origin Forbidden Land.

The grand tribulation formation connected directly to those treasure mountains, allowing it to borrow the advantages of both heaven and terrain and maximize its power.

Once the Peerless Grand Formation was complete—

Daniel notified Boren and Gison to come over.
