Chapter 410 235: Divine Kingdom Universalization

The few Ancient Gods were all lost in thought, their expressions varied.

They were, of course, aware of the source of Zorn's power.

Zorn's Sequence Root Source had slumbered for countless ages in the Cosmic Demon Pool, the land of the Cosmic Altar.

His Sequence was rather unique, so it was perfectly normal for it to even have a connection to the Cosmic Demon Pool.

"The foundation of Zorn's Sequence is Divine Level in itself."

"It's not that surprising that you were able to ascend to the Ancient Sequence in less than a thousand years."

"The darlings of fate and the great waves have always been miracle workers."

"No wonder you're so confident about fighting Belial."

At this, Antisum slowly began to speak.

"This Cosmic Gemstone can grant a considerable boost in power. We have no need to fight at the moment, but you are about to face Belial in a life-or-death battle. Take this Cosmic Gemstone from me and refine it!"

"Lord Antisum, I appreciate the kind offer."

Zorn was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head.

"Since I've already agreed to fight Belial, it's only natural that I've already made my preparations."

"In the time I have left, I still need to prepare in other ways. I'm afraid I won't have enough time to refine this Cosmic Gemstone. It would be better for you to refine it yourself."

"As long as you're prepared, that's all that matters."

Seeing Zorn's resolve, Antisum didn't press the issue.

Soon, the gathered gods dispersed.

After returning alone to the Cosmic Fissure he was guarding, Zorn cultivated in peace for several days. Only then did he use his projection to inspect the five Independent Star Realms.

He had barely begun inspecting the first one when a look of delight appeared on his face.

'Not bad, not bad at all. A Cosmic Gemstone in the very first Independent Star Realm. If I can find just one more, that would be perfect.'

At that moment, the Cosmic Gemstone was embedded deep within the Starry Sky Ancient Insect Path.

After Zorn used the Insect King Curse to sever the Independent Star Realm's connection to the outside world, the Cosmic Gemstone was unable to find an exit. Its only option was to use the Starry Sky Ancient Insect Path, which was still connected to the outside.

Unfortunately for it!

Once it entered the Starry Sky Ancient Insect Path, the terrifying suppressive force would render the Cosmic Gemstone immobile and quickly drain all its Spiritual nature and dynamic Energy.

In the end, it was left embedded within the Starry Sky Ancient Insect Path like a giant, purplish-gold gem.

Soon, Zorn had finished scouting all five Independent Star Realms.

In addition to the Cosmic Gemstone in the first Star Realm District, Zorn found another one in the fourth.

Using the Starry Sky Ancient Insect Path, Zorn brought both Cosmic Gemstones into his hands, an irrepressible look of joy spreading across his features.

'With these five Independent Star Realms, my collection of Cosmic Gemstones will only grow over time. It will be more than enough for the cosmization of my Divine Kingdom.'

As he mused, Zorn picked up a Cosmic Gemstone and immediately began to absorb and assimilate it.

Assimilating a Cosmic Gemstone wouldn't take very long.

Zorn had refused Antisum's offer of a Cosmic Gemstone mainly because the entire Star Realm Cosmic would become unstable once the Mythical Wave began to surge.

The Star Dust Plateau, in particular, would become a battlefield for all factions.

As the main fighting force of the Calamity Court Divine Kingdom, Antisum was already Level 35 and desperately needed this Cosmic Gemstone to increase his power.

'In another thirty or forty years, the Mythical Wave of the new millennium will arrive.'

'At that time, the various properties of Essence within the Mythical Wave will become incredibly dense, as if the universe itself is undergoing a massive Essence eruption.'

'Not only will it become simple and easy to inscribe Ancient Sacred Marks and absorb Cosmic Essence... but under the catalyzing effect of the Mythical Wave, breaking through Levels, advancing Skills, and enhancing Rune Magic Rings will all become remarkably easy.'

'Fighting and killing during the Mythical Wave! It will be easier to gain the favor of the wave itself.'

'Turmoil will be inevitable. When that time comes, it will all depend on who is more powerful and cunning.'

Afterward, Zorn checked his own Level again.

He shook his head slightly.

'Reaching Level 35 in such a short time will be difficult, but hitting Level 34 shouldn't be a problem.'

'I'll just keep steadily increasing my Level and strength.'

'When the time comes, my battle with Belial during the Mythical Wave can serve as an even better catalyst.'

As Zorn continued his cultivation, immersed within the Starry Sky Ancient Insect Path, rumors of the first major eruption from the Cosmic Fissure began to circulate on the Star Dust Plateau. However, against the backdrop of the recent war between the Ancient Gods, these disturbances seemed insignificant and caused no major ripples throughout the Star Realm Cosmic.

During this round of cultivation, Zorn also kept a close watch on the outside world.

As the Mythical Wave began to swell, some Ancient Gods could finally no longer restrain themselves and began to make their moves.

The first to act were three Ancient Evil Gods who launched a Surprise Attack on a rather remote Ancient Divine Kingdom.

They first destroyed that kingdom's Ancient Tree of the Magic Ring, then proceeded to invade and corrupt nearly a million Material Plane Worlds.

This astonishing display of destructive power inscribed a vast number of evil Sacred Marks in the cosmic chapter of the Mythical Wave.

By borrowing this surging, catalytic power, the three Ancient Gods shattered their Level restrictions on the spot and ascended.

Although the Ancient Gods who rushed to the scene afterward managed to drive off the three Ancient Evil Gods, the incident left many other Ancient Gods restless and eager to act.

Soon, one report after another came in of Ancient Gods attacking other Ancient Divine Kingdoms.

Tens of thousands of Material Planes were invaded, corrupted, and their inhabitants slaughtered at a moment's notice.

Some Ancient Divine Kingdoms were also breached.

There were even numerous cases where a Tree of the Magic Ring was shattered to pieces.
