Chapter 1209: Chapter 352: Unprecedented Expansion of Power! Gathering of Venerables
“Didn’t you notice that the destiny of that young Blue Blood came quickly and left just as quickly?”
“When in possession of destiny, one man can hold the pass against ten thousand; when not, even drinking a sip of water can get stuck in one’s teeth.”
“So, don’t do anything against the heavens, learn to follow destiny. Let yourself live a little happier. Otherwise, endless life becomes endless suffering.”
At that time, there were about twenty new Venerables accompanying the banquet. Hearing this, everyone’s hair stood on end immediately.
If before this Domain war, someone told them that the Domain war had a “script” and everything was pre-arranged, they would certainly not believe it 100%. However, this Domain war did indeed have many strange factors, so they couldn’t help but think more about it.
Actually, many things are like this: when you don’t know, you can’t discover it; but when you know and go looking, you’ll find many clues.
Therefore, afterwards, these more than twenty Venerables began secretly inquiring more about the phenomenon and evidence of destiny. Soon, they discovered more and more anomalies.
This discovery caused these twenty-plus Venerables to gather occasionally to discuss. At first, it was nothing, but as their discussions grew deeper and when they considered informing other Venerables, it actually caused a change in the celestial phenomena.
This frightened those Venerables, but it also indirectly confirmed their conjectures.
However, even though they couldn’t disclose this matter, the more than twenty Venerables, due to their large number and the fact that quite a few held certain positions in the Heaven Beyond the Heavens, never allowed the gathering of a hundred Venerables to happen again in these tens of thousands of years.
And during these thousands of years, this group of Venerables didn’t give up on resistance. They kept testing the rules of destiny, for example, key figures like the Son of Heaven’s Mandate, the Eye of Destiny in the Domain wars, were all results of their experiments.
Meanwhile, they slowly discovered that the essence of the World Origin’s actions was trying to weaken both sides’ strength and prolong the Domain war.
So, Outer Realm Demigods, if they do nothing at the beginning, it’s also unfeasible—the World Origin would release Disasters in the Outer Realm, or crazily enhance the strength of the Real World natives to force the Demigods to take action.
For instance, they also found that even though the course of the Domain war is fixed, there are loopholes: the major trend cannot be changed, but minor trends can be altered.
For example, if the Outer Realm Demigods go all out, it will lead to the crazy enhancement of the strength of Real World natives. But if the Outer Realm Demigods only assassinate a few core Sons of Heaven’s Mandate, Eyes of Destiny, it won’t provoke the World Origin—of course, too many cannot be assassinated.
Thus, through these tens of thousands of years of evolution and guidance, the Outer Realm developed current common warfare tactics: in the early stage, sending part of the Demigods to harass and investigate the situation of the Reincarnation World; in the mid-stage, assassinating key figures like the Eye of Destiny, Son of Heaven’s Mandate, etc.; and in the late stage, pressing with armies to flatten.
And in the early and mid-stages, the Venerables often do not take action personally, but support Disaster Creatures and Demigods to continuously deplete resources to satisfy the World Origin’s requirement for “consumption.”
Such tactics were tested multiple times by the Venerables to the greatest extent possible to avoid reactions from the World Origin and allow the Venerables to preserve their strength and reduce consumption.
Although such warfare tactics would inevitably leave many Disaster Creatures and Demigods dissatisfied, the Outer Realm is ultimately the domain of the Venerables, and other creatures cannot resist….
…..
Having learned all the intelligence about destiny from these Venerables, Fang Ze made a preliminary judgment about the information Venerable Yuan Gu told him: it’s basically true, but some parts are exaggerated.
Some exaggerations were unconscious, such as the matter of destiny having consciousness. The twenty Venerables initially only had a vague concept, and later, it was their own research and experiments, so each person’s conclusion would definitely differ slightly;
Some exaggerations were intentional, like Venerable Yuan Gu saying it’s all the World Origin’s conspiracy, and that Fang Ze killing the Demigod was equivalent to falling into the World Origin’s trap.
This was entirely Venerable Yuan Gu extrapolating to save his own life from Fang Ze.
After summarizing the intelligence from these Venerables, Fang Ze leaned towards the idea that the World Origin might actually be in a state of unconsciousness or low consciousness—it only vaguely knew what it wanted, so it tried to change things.
This can’t really be considered a trap; it can only be said that… for the creatures, the World Origin was too strong, and its unconscious actions could be an apocalyptic disaster for tens of billions of creatures.
Moreover, after thinking over the conversation that day, Fang Ze had the feeling that Venerable Yuan Gu “brainwashed” him at that time: Venerable Yuan Gu kept instilling in him that killing Demigods meant falling into the World Origin’s trap, so he shouldn’t kill Demigods.
After calming down in recent days, Fang Ze realized: this is not right. When his own strength was weak earlier, Venerable Yuan Gu and others were plotting to assassinate or eliminate him!
Why didn’t they consider it was falling into a trap then?
Why is it, now that his strength is strong enough to kill them, that suddenly the trap becomes a concern?
This is too double-standard!
Therefore, Fang Ze felt he shouldn’t think so much! Apart from keeping in mind that the World Origin might have issues and it’s best to verify it in the upcoming Domain war, he should do what needs to be done!
After all, those Venerables won’t give up attacking the world of the Human Race just because the World Origin has issues.
Fang Ze still needed to continue enhancing the strength of his side! First, ensure the safety of the Human Race World and only then consider other matters!
……
Meanwhile.
As Fang Ze continually captured and subdued three new Venerables, raising the number of Venerables under his control to six.
At this time, in the Heaven Beyond the Heavens, a small meeting composed of nearly fifty thousand years of new-generation Venerables finally reached its conclusion.
The Blue Blood Venerable sat in the main seat, looking at the projections of dozens of other Venerables, and said, “I think during these more than two weeks, we have discussed everything that needed discussion and reviewed the necessary intelligence.”
“Everyone should have a certain understanding of the threat from this new world.”
“Especially the prodigy named Fang Ze in that world, whose abilities are truly terrifying.”
“He can control the Divine Fiend! Can transform into a Demigod! And can even make Venerables disappear.”
“In these tens of thousands of years, I’ve never seen such bizarre and powerful abilities.”
“And, everyone, don’t forget. He hasn’t achieved Demigod status yet. From the latest intelligence, he just broke through to the Absolute Pinnacle. If we let him become a Demigod, or even condense Faith to become a Venerable, would we still have any chance of winning?”
“Therefore! We must eliminate him in the nascent stage!”
“As long as all thirty-seven of us Venerables act together, forcibly break open the Domain barrier, descend upon the Human Race World, and either kill or force the Human Race to hand over Fang Ze, we can remove this threat!”
Upon hearing Venerable Yuan Gu’s words, all the Venerables present slightly nodded, expressing agreement—or rather, those who disagreed had already left these days.
At this moment, only one Venerable spoke up, “Blue Blood, these days I’ve also reached out to a few familiar Venerables, but as soon as they heard we planned to act together, they immediately advised against it. It seemed like they had some unspeakable concerns.”
“Could there be any issue in this?”
Hearing his words, the Blue Blood Venerable did not directly answer but instead asked back, “Do you think there’s any problem larger than the issue of Fang Ze growing stronger?”
“He is a peerless prodigy, in the Absolute Pinnacle realm, capable of controlling the Divine Fiend and transforming into a Demigod!”
The Venerable was stunned for a moment, then seemed to think and slowly nodded, “Makes sense.”
Seeing that the Venerable agreed, Blue Blood Venerable once again scanned the room, then said, “Since there are no more objections from everyone. Then we should start taking action.”
“See you at the Domain barrier tonight at 8 PM!”
