Great Demon Sun Wukong

Dao Zhun, who had been silent from the beginning, suddenly said, "The little monkey is quite right. I can sense that this small lock contains a massive amount of extremely pure Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power. However, it's not that simple. Although the spiritual power in this is vast, at best it's only equivalent to the combined spiritual power of two Domain Lord Level powerhouses. But this Underworld God Army, I have crossed hands with them during that ancient battle and know them quite well. The universe of that era cannot be compared to now. Although it's not the case that there were Domain Lord Level experts everywhere, it was almost so. The strength of the Nine Patterns Supreme in that era would only be considered quite ordinary. So if you say that almost a million years were spent just to create something of this level, I find it somewhat unlikely."

Everyone agreed with Dao Zhun's words. Although Domain Lord Level powerhouses were already considered to be at the peak of the universe's hierarchy now, and even among the existing Six Great Divine Nations, the number of Domain Lord Level powerhouses each possessed wouldn't exceed the counting of one hand. Aside from the Six Great Divine Nations, only a few top high-level worlds could boast one or two Domain Lord Level powerhouses. But that was now, and the current universe was essentially damaged, making the cosmic origins needed to ascend to Domain Lord Level pitifully scarce. Otherwise, Sun Wukong and others wouldn't have been stuck at the Supreme Peak realm, unable to break through, although Sun Wukong's combat power would not be inferior to any Domain Lord Level powerhouse.

Therefore, if such a grand endeavor had been undertaken over nearly a million years just to create a batch of small locks containing vast spiritual power, it certainly didn't make sense. Even within their respective Divine Kingdoms, they could achieve such a feat with just a few tens of thousands of years, so there must be other motives involved.

As expected, Dao Zhun continued, "Within this small lock, I also felt fluctuations of spatial energy. Hence, according to my speculation, this should be a magic artifact designed to collect spiritual power and store the collected spiritual power. Once the stored spiritual power reaches a certain threshold, it would then be transported to a specific location through spatial power. Otherwise, even a Domain Instrument incessantly absorbing spiritual power for a million years would have burst already!"

Everyone knew about Dao Zhun. Back in the day, he alone, with his Supreme Space Divine Power, had forcibly created the Fangcun Spirit Realm, which had now grown into a top-level high-level world. Moreover, Dao Zhun was from the same era as the Pioneers and had fought shoulder to shoulder with them during the ancient war. Although his current strength had declined significantly, his mastery of space was absolutely beyond the reach of anyone present. His words could definitely be trusted.

This dampened the enthusiasm of those present. If everything was as the little monkey and Dao Zhun had said, then it might very well be part of some scheme by the Heavenly Patroller. And if they inadvertently disrupted this plan while researching, the consequences might be more than anyone could bear. They were not like the madmen from the Li Fire Realm, daring to wage a direct war against the Heavenly Patroller. The memory of the Patrolling Celestial World outright destroying a Divine Kingdom was still fresh in everyone's minds.

Now, looking at the three chains on the table, they hesitated. To not study them might lead to regret if other forces managed to discover something consequential, but the potential consequences of learning something forbidden were equally unbearable. Sometimes, knowing too much is not a good thing.

At this moment, it became apparent that the current Six Great Divine Nations and the few other top high-level worlds were in a rather awkward position. They were undoubtedly mysterious and powerful, commanding an unparalleled status and authority in this universe and virtually controlling the life and death of all subordinate worlds. But who knew their helplessness? The enforcers of the cosmic order loomed over them like mountains, making them tread carefully in all their doings to avoid provoking those eight individuals, lest they suffer a catastrophic blow. Their strength and power were utterly negligible in the eyes of those eight. The various secrets and history of the ancient war were especially taboo for those eight, and none who tried to touch upon that part of history ever met with a good end.

The Dominion of Soil, the Li Fire Realm, and the Blue Water Realm's destruction were witnessed and even personally participated in by them. It undoubtedly deepened the taboo within their hearts. Seeing the hesitation on everyone's faces, Xi Zhao suddenly said, "Since no one wishes to go first, Netherworld World is willing to take the lead for everyone. Let these three chains rest in Netherworld World for now. Should we discover anything, we will notify you all in time." Finished speaking, he beckoned towards the three chains with his finger, and the chains on the table flew to Xi Zhao's front, where he stored them in his spatial storage.

Watching Xi Zhao's actions, the little monkey wanted to say something, but after glancing at Sun Wukong, he shook his head and hopped down from the chair, "The rest has nothing to do with me!" After saying so, he left the room under the escort of the black gorilla. Meanwhile, Dao Zhun turned his head towards the little monkey's direction with a complex expression in his eyes.@@novelbin@@

Afterwards, Sun Wukong took the place where the little monkey had been sitting, while Rogue Heart Sword Hero stood behind him. The meeting continued. However, what remained were only details, nothing too important. It was merely about deciding on the methods of communication among the parties and the timing of the final battle, along with the internal personnel scrutiny, of course. The purpose of the scrutiny was to find out if there was a spy among them. However, no one held much hope for this, as aside from the little monkey, no one could confirm for sure the presence of a spy among them. This was simply done to ensure, to the greatest extent, that the plans for this occasion wouldn't be leaked.

However, at the end of the meeting, Zhibei mentioned the Myriad Gods Palace's encounter with the Underworld God Army attacks some time ago. However, the enemy did not launch a major attack but only a probing attack. After they saw that the Myriad Gods Hall's defensive forces were not weak but instead strengthened due to nearly a thousand ferocious beasts, they quietly retreated and hadn't appeared since. And Canglan Palace had not received any harassment or attacks from the Underworld God Army, or perhaps it could be said that they had not yet found the exact location of Canglan Palace.

After the little monkey left, the meeting continued for about another Chinese hour before it ended. After Dao Zhun distributed a Formation Map of a small Teleportation Array to each person, everyone went back to their respective places. The Teleportation Array Formation Maps that Dao Zhun distributed greatly facilitated the communication between the five forces. Although there were some spatial coordinates available before, they only allowed a few individuals to teleport, while the rest didn't have that ability. However, this Teleportation Array now enabled personnel from the five forces to assist each other at the first opportunity.

And so, the five forces began their preparations for the final decisive battle. After all, this last battle concerned not only the future ranking of each Divine Kingdom but also everyone's life and death—no one would be negligent in this final conflict. The last preparations were primarily focused on the defense of their own palace. In case they went out to attack others and their homeland was toppled, that would truly be a loss beyond recovery.

The most exasperating among the five forces was not Netherworld World, which had two hundred Guardian Puppets, nor Genesis Divine Nation with a hundred Guardian Puppets, and of course, not Canglan Palace, hidden deep in the ocean, but Fangcun Palace. Because Dao Zhun used his Spatial Divine Skill to directly transfer Fangcun Palace into his own mysterious spatial dimension, it was an outright cheating maneuver. As long as Dao Zhun lived, absolutely no one could find Fangcun Palace. It was as if Dao Zhun had Fangcun Palace on his person—the other forces would be frustrated to the point of spitting blood if they knew.

And on the day after the meeting concluded, Sun Wukong and the little monkey left Netherworld Palace. They were going to recruit a group of powerful fighters for Netherworld World for the ultimate final battle!
