Chapter 701: Tzeentch

A minute later, Rhea's figure also vanished from the earth.

Li Mochen had long since diverted his attention elsewhere, using his 'Annihilating Suns' and over forty thousand particle beam cannons to sweep away all the Blood Feast Maggots that had entered the Bright World.

But by now, the maggot army had already retreated from the outer regions of the Bright World. Those that had infiltrated earlier were now lurking deep within the earth and oceans.

So after about twenty seconds, Li Mochen returned to the outer void. He could no longer sense large concentrations of Blood Feast Maggots within the main material realm; instead, a massive pursuit battle was underway in the outer realm.

With the death of Beleth, the Gluttony King, the combat power of all Blood Feast Maggots had generally dropped by twenty to thirty percent. Loki and Ishtar benefited from this, each killing a Maggot Queen within four minutes.

This further weakened the Blood Feast Maggots' power, leading to a full-scale retreat. They were desperately trying to break free from the Bright World, escaping the influence of the law net.

Li Mochen would never allow this. He could not permit these maggots to withdraw into the outer realm and continue to threaten the future Mandate Pantheon, nor could he let go of the ready-made 'merit'.

The number of these maggots certainly wouldn't allow him to condense a ninth strand of purple merit energy, but Li Mochen estimated he could still gain over a hundred billion seven-colored spiritual lights. This vast quantity would allow him to push top-tier divine authorities like 'War', 'Combat', and 'Stars' directly to the Truth level.

If used directly for 'Fate', the highest divine authority, it would bring him closer to the Source, saving at least fifteen years of research. So he was unwilling to give it up no matter what.

Next, the maggots' resistance was exceptionally fierce. Not only the low-level maggot larvae, but also the Duke-level ones with divine ranks as high as seventeen or eighteen, and even the Vice-God-Kings with divine rank nineteen, all fought desperately and fearlessly to intercept the pursuit of the Skywing Knights and the Mandate gods.

They cared nothing for life or death. Even facing Li Mochen's twenty 'Annihilating Suns' and over forty thousand particle beam cannons, they showed no hesitation or fear. The billions of maggots, like moths to a flame, charged at him wave after wave, burning under the radiation and particle beams.

The maggots' only purpose was to delay Li Mochen by even a hundred-millionth of a second, buying time for their three remaining Maggot Queens to escape.

Li Mochen was happy to see this. He could have bypassed these maggots and directly pursued the three queens, but in his view, the individual queens were easier to chase, while these maggots, once scattered in the outer realm, would be harder to clean up.

According to their research, these maggots were genetically hermaphroditic. Once the queen died, the male soldier maggots could transform into queens at any time, so in terms of reproductive capacity alone, these maggots posed a considerable threat.

In just three minutes, few maggots remained in the entire outer realm. Li Mochen finally turned his gaze to the distant void.

Given the speed of the three Maggot Queens, they might have already reached fifty star-distances away, or hidden within some nearby world.

Li Mochen paid no heed. Behind him, a massive magical array combining Eastern and Western elements appeared.

After several improvements, the 'Zhoutian Divine Mechanism Mysterious Pivot Star-Locking Secret Art' linked all the magic towers within his divine kingdom and all large-scale computers inside and outside the world, connected by wired and wireless networks.

Then Li Mochen invested a bit of merit.

The next instant, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

Go!

The small 'Judgment Hammer' in Li Mochen's hand instantly flew into the depths of the void. His power completely ignored time, and thus distance.

After the 'Judgment Hammer' was thrown, it returned to his hand almost without any time interval, as if it had never been thrown.

At the same time, the merit energy on the 'Divine Sky Spiritual Fortune Purple Gold Tower' increased by at least ten billion.

Next, another Maggot Queen did not escape Li Mochen's grasp. He spent a minute calculating her whereabouts, then killed her instantly with the Judgment Hammer.

But after that, when Li Mochen began to deduce the location of the last Maggot Queen, his brow furrowed.

The 'Zhoutian Divine Mechanism Mysterious Pivot Star-Locking Secret Art' completely failed; all data was a jumble.

After Li Mochen failed to strike again for three full minutes, Loki, the God of Deceit, frowned and looked over: "Has someone intervened?"

"Sheltered, at the level of a God above Gods."

Li Mochen nodded slightly: "This person's power is very strong, and not far from here, within seventy star-distances."

The assembled gods felt a slight tension. They had just resolved a major crisis, and the trouble with the Blood Feast Maggots was not yet fully settled, when a new threat arrived.

Li Mochen noticed their concern and explained calmly: "It's not a huge problem. That's not a complete God above Gods, only confined to a certain world. Besides, it seems to be under some restriction or has some scruples, not wanting to fight me directly."

But even in a direct confrontation, Li Mochen was not afraid. After obtaining the eighth strand of purple merit energy, his authority in this world was infinitely close to that of a Supreme God.

Moreover, the 'Divine Sky Spiritual Fortune Purple Gold Tower' had accumulated 170 billion strands of merit yet to be used, and his daily income of merit was also very impressive. Li Mochen was confident that he could raise his cultivation and combat power to another level in a very short time.

"The immediate priority is to clear out the maggots that have entered the main material realm."

Li Mochen looked up at the interior of the Bright World, especially the Middle East: "Lord Prometheus, I entrust this task to you. I give you twenty Skywing Knight sub-legions, fifteen Skywing Legions, and all the War Gods and Angel Kings within the pantheon. Additionally, I will issue a divine decree for all allied governments to cooperate fully. This is a threat we must resolve within the next year. My minimum requirement is that the maggots must not cause irreversible damage to this world."

Prometheus possessed great wisdom but had no high capability in military strategy. However, his powers of prophecy and divination were reliable, allowing him to foresee major dangers in advance.

"I will do my best!" Prometheus's voice was firm: "In any case, I will not allow them to run rampant in our homeland!"

Li Mochen nodded, then instructed Athena: "Lady Wisdom Goddess, you also have a task. I will place all intelligence agencies of the Mandate Alliance under your command, and the 'Peeping Angel' Reinhard Heydrich will be temporarily under your direction. You need to cooperate with the Lord of Radiance to reclaim the authority of the Truth Church as soon as possible."

Athena raised an eyebrow: "Are you sure, Your Majesty? This might greatly increase the power of the Light Church and the Lord of Radiance."

"Of course I'm sure. Though it poses a great threat, from a broader perspective, we must choose the lesser of two evils."

Li Mochen sighed. At this point, it was better to return the Middle East to the Lord of Radiance than to leave it to the inactive Ahura.

With a great enemy at hand, Li Mochen had to show the appropriate breadth of mind and spirit, not letting small matters hinder the big picture.

This was also because he now had sufficient confidence. As early as three years ago, the Church of Fate had become the undisputed largest church in this world, with over twenty billion followers—a number that neither the Truth Church nor the Light Church could match.

"Correspondingly, Horus has also promised that the Light Church will cooperate with our cleansing operations."

"I will expel Ahura as soon as possible!"

Athena's eyes showed approval: "Your Majesty's divinity is indeed noble. I think people all over the world should thank you for your efforts."

Li Mochen ignored Athena's flattery: "Also, expand the military. Production of outer-space model battle armor needs to be further increased, and starships as well. Forget it! I'll go back and discuss with Bismarck."

At this moment, Anthony also returned to Li Mochen's side: "Good news: in the next few years, we can forge at least seven pieces of mythical armaments close to pseudo-Truth level, and twenty-three pieces of ultimate defensive battle armor. The bad news is that most of the materials that could have been used to make battle armor have been destroyed by you."

Li Mochen's 'Annihilating Suns' and 'Particle Beam Cannons' were too overbearing; anything below divine rank twelve would completely melt within ten seconds of approaching him.

However, the main god-level and vice-god-king-level Blood Feast Maggots still had strong resistance. Their carapaces, claws, and scythe-like limbs served as their weapons and armor. With a little trimming and refinement, they could become very powerful divine artifacts.

This matter delighted many gods, as the divine artifacts Anthony forged would undoubtedly fall into their hands.

And in this era, no god would refuse anything that could enhance their power.

※※※※

Afterward, Li Mochen returned to his Mandate Divine Kingdom, at the top floor of the Destiny Township magic tower.

Angela was waiting for him there, her eyes full of regret: "It's a pity. You could have wounded Gaia more severely. It's all my fault."

The main reason Gaia had managed to break free from Li Mochen's judgment and sanction was that Rhea had repelled her interception and entered the main material realm. This Earth Mother Goddess had then influenced the land to aid Gaia.

"I'm already satisfied to have struck her with a sword."

Li Mochen smiled: "Within fifty years, her power won't recover to its peak, not even with the help of Slaanesh."

The forces of Fate, Time Sequence, and Eternity he had blasted into Gaia's body were not easily dispelled.

Like 'Chaos' Khaos, who had not fully recovered five years after being wounded by him.

"I'm curious why it wasn't Zeus."

Angela's eyes were full of confusion: "There's an Eastern saying: 'Injuring ten fingers is not as good as breaking one.' Gaia is powerful, but if you could kill Zeus, or even wound him severely again, it would be more advantageous."

"The chance of killing him is slim; Gaia and her daughter would not stand idly by. But if I attacked Gaia, Zeus would definitely choose to flee. He knows that staying would likely mean death."

Li Mochen explained, though he knew the reason was somewhat weak. However, he had other reasons for choosing this course.

"The biggest reason is for Gaia's divine blood and flesh. Come with me, Ang."

He opened a spatial gate and stepped through, with Angela following closely. She found that the entrance led to a huge laboratory, where numerous researchers were bustling about, all with extremely high magic energy levels. Most were above Legendary, and some were even at the divine level.

"A-Mo, are these all your Chosen?"

Angela looked on with curiosity. She had known long ago that Li Mochen had established a core biological laboratory hidden in an unknown, mysterious location. It housed top-tier biological scientists and the world's best experimental equipment, but she had been suppressing the Underworld and studying her own divine authority for years, so she had only heard of it.

"Most are. The rest will be granted Chosen status by me after they render meritorious service."

Li Mochen nodded slightly: "Seventy-two people in total, all titans of biology and the greatest minds."

The next moment, several figures flashed before them. There were Patrick, God of Surgery, Medicine, Modern Medicine, and Healing; Lady Nightingale, Goddess of Nursing, Life Maintenance, and Fertility; Carlson, God of Microorganisms, Viruses, Bacteria, and Vaccines; the newly promoted Gu Hong, God of Genes and Experiments; and Abraham Weltenstein, God of Biological Alchemy and Biophysics.

"You've obtained Gaia's flesh and blood?" Abraham was extremely excited: "This is wonderful! It will shorten our research progress by at least half."

Li Mochen handed a large pile of glass bottles containing blood to Gu Hong, who was also too excited to contain himself. He immediately took the blood and flashed into a nearby fully transparent laboratory, beginning to analyze Gaia's genes directly.

"Gaia is the progenitor of the Titan pantheon. Obtaining her flesh and blood means all the secrets of the Titan race will be open to us. Like with Khaos, over the past few years, we've cracked sixty percent of the genes of the Primordial pantheon. This is why the 'Holy Spirit Knight' breakthrough was so fast. We've also developed a new gene potion called 'Primordial'. Though it's not very useful for me, you, Angela, can still use it. It's expected to directly strengthen an ancient god below divine rank ten by one divine rank, but it's not yet perfected."

After explaining a few points, Li Mochen asked the God of Healing, Patrick: "How much longer do you estimate?"

"Soon. With the complete genes of Gaia and the Titan race, I estimate at most three months."

Patrick didn't speak definitively, but his tone was confident: "We can even end the pre-research phase for our next sequence of bio-armor, the 'Eternal Knight'."

Angela's mind tightened. She had participated in the Mandate Pantheon's military meetings using her avatar and knew that the 'Eternal Knight' was a bio-armor with combat power comparable to a Greater God, and the highest-ranked series in all planned bio-armors. It was expected that once the bio-armor's strength exceeded that of a Greater God, it would become uncontrollable.

In fact, according to many researchers' assessments, the 'Holy Spirit Knight' was already the ceiling for bio-armor. The subsequent 'Eternal Knight' had almost no chance of successful development.

However, Li Mochen showed little excitement: "I want to know, how is the progress on the 'Dragon Blood Titan'?"

"Dragon Blood Titan?" Angela's eyes were bewildered; she had never heard this term before.

"You missed a few meetings. This is a project that the Mandate Biological Laboratory has been researching for a long time, officially launched less than two years ago."

Li Mochen's eyes showed anticipation: "The nature of the Eternal Knight means it cannot be mass-produced on a large scale, but the 'Dragon Blood Titan' is different. Once completed, it can be used extensively on the battlefield. If we encounter a war of today's scale again, we won't be helpless against the enemy's numerical advantage."

"How to put it? It is indeed a very promising biological weapon."

Carlson, the God of Viruses and Bacteria, shrugged: "Your Majesty, you are too impatient. Though we are gods, we are not omnipotent. The difficulty of developing the Dragon Blood Titan exceeds that of the several series of bio-armor, and you expect us to produce results within two years."

Even so, he still moved his feet and led them to Experimental Zone 7.

Through the observation window, Angela saw countless cultivation tanks of various sizes inside the laboratories. These tanks all contained giants of varying heights, all with bulging muscles. Some were oddly shaped, covered in scales, or with insect-like carapaces, and some even had dragon-like heads.

"The Dragon Blood Titan combines the excellent genes of dragons and titans, cultivated and manufactured as a disposable war tool to compensate for the pantheon's lack of combat power. This was originally a proposal by Professor Gu Hong nine years ago, but over the years, we've obtained the complete genes of Blood Feast Maggots, Hill Giants, Frost Giants, and Primordial Giants, so we've added quite a bit."

Li Mochen pointed inside the laboratory: "Since they are disposable, the requirements are low. Besides basic friend-or-foe identification, we don't need to worry much about control. Gene stability can also be ignored, and we don't need to use too good magical materials. This reduces the difficulty of mass production."

Angela felt a pang of sympathy. The 'Dragon Blood Titans' in the laboratory looked like living, intelligent beings.

"They have no intelligence, and their emotions are very weak. They can only follow instinct and the intelligent combat system installed in their bodies."

Li Mochen seemed to understand his wife's thoughts: "Additionally, considering the shortage of magical materials, the strength of the 'Dragon Blood Titan' mainly depends on the battlefield and their enemies."

Angela was confused by his words: "Battlefield and enemies, what do you mean?"

She soon learned the reason. In a laboratory, she saw a three-meter-tall 'Dragonblood Titan' fighting a group of Blood Feast Demon Insects.

This 'Dragonblood Titan' was not high-level, only around level sixteen. What was surprising was that after the giant killed its enemies, countless fleshy tentacles grew from within its body, devouring the corpses of the Blood Feast Demon Insects.

After killing seven demon insects of the same level, the 'Dragonblood Titan's' aura and power had greatly improved. Angela could confirm that this creature had already entered level seventeen.

Then the alloy doors all around opened wide, releasing higher-level Blood Feast Demon Insects.

"High-level 'Dragonblood Titans' and 'Holy Spirit Knights' and other types of biological armor can only be deployed on a small scale. In the future, what will truly be mass-produced are those from level fifteen to the legendary rank. They can strengthen themselves by devouring the flesh and blood of enemies. In theory, if there are enough enemies, they can even be strengthened to the level of a God King."

But just as the God of Viruses and Bacteria, Karlsen, finished speaking, the body of the 'Dragonblood Titan' in the laboratory mutated, and its flesh exploded with a bang, scattering all over the ground.

Karlsen looked embarrassed: "As you can see, this weapon still has major problems. We must ensure that no matter how much their strength grows during combat, it does not lead to genetic collapse. Also, the ultimate goal of the 'Dragonblood Titan' project is to allow them to be used long-term. Professor Gu Hong envisions them growing on the battlefield, then maintaining a stable state with a high degree of tameness. Normally they are kept in a frozen state, unlocked when war occurs. They are a type of war weapon that does not require us to invest many resources and can grow rapidly by devouring enemies."

Angela only half-listened to Karlsen's words before realizing the value of this 'weapon'.

"Amo, if it can really be successfully developed, it could indeed become a decisive force on the battlefield, making up for many of our shortcomings. But I also feel that they would be very dangerous."

She felt that these 'Dragonblood Titans' had too many similarities to the 'Blood Feast Demon Insects', and were likely even more uncontrollable than the latter.

"They are very dangerous. If not used well, this will be a double-edged sword that harms both enemy and self."

Li Mochen nodded in agreement: "Don't worry, I won't use them in the main material plane. They are destined to be only outer domain weapons. And I will never use them until they are perfected to a considerable degree."

※※※※

While Li Mochen was taking Angela on an inspection of the biological laboratory, in Gaia's Pantheon, the three God Kings who had returned here were in an extremely bad mood.

"You still have the face to come back?"

Rhea looked at Zeus, the child she had once loved so much, now filling her with immense anger.

"Mother Goddess gave you such trust, and this is how you repay her—with betrayal after betrayal?"

In the past, the scheming between Zeus and Gaia would not have disgusted her. But five years ago, Zeus was able to escape and recover quickly only because of Gaia's help.

Moreover, the Titan Pantheon's situation was now extremely dire. If they could not unite at this time, they likely had no future.

Zeus's reaction was very calm: "Mother, you must understand me. In that situation, if I hadn't left, I might have died directly. It can be one hundred percent certain that if he couldn't harm Gaia, he would inevitably shift his target to me. The problem is that my injuries have not yet healed, and Gaia is the primordial Mother Goddess who once ruled the earth. In terms of defense and resilience, earth is one of the most powerful divine powers. She could withstand the Truth Force of that Fate Dominator, but I cannot in my current state."

"You!"

Rhea was not convinced by his words, but Gaia herself was very calm: "Forget it, Rhea. I never counted on him."

Her alliance with Zeus had never been stable, and she had never expected his help when in trouble.

Just then, the figure of 'Chaos' Khaos stepped into this divine kingdom. At the same time, the Lord of Excess appeared, manifesting its body and then looking at the Primordial Mother Goddess with a scrutinizing gaze.

"It seems your injuries are severe, Lady Gaia. The situation is very bad; this is not something that can be recovered in a short time. Causality, Fate, Time, Eternity, Radiance—it seems that his power has made great progress again. This is a very big leap—"

It paused: "Do you need me to help you recover? Full recovery is impossible, but at least I can restore your strength to 85%."

A flicker of temptation clearly passed through Gaia's eyes, but then a hint of wariness and caution emerged in the depths of her gaze.

The Lord of Excess crossed its arms over its chest and smiled strangely: "I think you can rest assured. Consider this repayment for your help to Khaos. I will not let my power enter your body directly; I will only expel and neutralize the power of that Fate Lord. Like this—"

The Lord of Excess flicked a finger, and a red-and-blue aura burst from Gaia's body, forcibly piercing the space walls of the Pantheon.

That was Li Mochen's 'Dutian Thunder Star Core Sword Qi' that had invaded her body, and what the Lord of Excess had drawn out was merely an insignificant wisp.

"I want to try on my own first. If I really can't, I will ask for your help, Your Majesty."

Gaia then changed the subject, her eyes gleaming: "Your Majesty, compared to my injuries, I am more worried about the current situation. The Blood Feast Demon Insects have retreated, and those Pseudo-Divine will be pinned down by the Lord of Radiance in the Dark World; they have formed an alliance. I also discovered that the Fate Dominator has made great progress in several divine powers related to the mind. He has invested much effort in this area. I predict that the expansion of the Desire Church will face great restrictions. The current situation is very unfavorable to us; the scales have tipped significantly. If the situation does not improve, Rhea and I will have to consider leaving this world."

"I understand. That Fate Dominator not only grows at an astonishing rate himself but has also built a powerful force. Although he may not be very strong in strategy, he is adept at using all the power he can. This is a very excellent quality."

The Lord of Excess sighed: "In today's war, he has cleared out the power of both me and Khorne. Around this world, both I and Khorne temporarily have no power to interfere in this realm."

Gaia and Zeus both frowned slightly and exchanged glances. If so, they had no choice but to admit defeat and leave.

Only Rhea remained calm, a hint of relief in her eyes. In her view, if this conflict among the Overgods could end like this, it would be a good thing.

But the Lord of Excess was destined not to let her have her wish. Its sinister yet beautiful face smiled slightly: "But as far as I know, a certain power that even I find daunting has already approached this world."

※※※※

In the outer void, Li Mochen's main body was moving rapidly in a certain direction together with Zhuanxu.

Using Li Mochen's Time Force, the two traversed nearly twelve hundred star-distances in this boundless void without spending any time.

But 'without spending time' referred to the surrounding region, the entire time sequence of the myriad worlds. As for Li Mochen and Zhuanxu, they were using one second as countless hours.

This is the principle behind the Eastern mythological saying 'one day in heaven, one year on earth'.

Perhaps out of boredom, or perhaps with a purpose, Zhuanxu spoke in a casual tone as he traveled through the star domain with Li Mochen's power: "Regarding the four most powerful gods in the Chaos Domain besides 'Mala', the most common view in the myriad worlds is that they were born from the four greatest emotions of all living beings. Fear of death gave birth to Nurgle, war gave birth to Khorne, desire gave birth to Slaanesh, and thought gave birth to Tzeentch."

"Thus, their followers believe that Nurgle represents 'life', Slaanesh represents 'love', Tzeentch represents 'wisdom', and Khorne symbolizes 'courage'. Consequently, many, like Senior Brother Guangchengzi, believe that they are the three corpse incarnations of the Terran Emperor."

"You have already experienced the power of Slaanesh and Khorne, Amo. But in my view, the other two Chaos Gods are even more terrifying. The oldest Chaos God, 'Nurgle', was born from the will of despair and the concept of destruction, drawing power from the fear of death in intelligent beings. His expertise lies not in powerful spells or brute force, but in invisible viruses. Legend has it that there were no viruses or bacteria in the world until Nurgle was born. All plagues are carefully concocted under Nurgle's influence. You may not imagine that he loves all life and accepts all followers, regardless of age, ugliness, good or evil, or life form. Hence, he is also called the Father of Plagues. He tolerates and embraces all, like a kind father leading his beloved children."

"I heard that this world once experienced a large-scale plague, related to your subordinate Ishtar, right? But you must believe me, Nurgle's plague is not the same as the germs created by the demons of this world."

"And Tzeentch, the most changeable and cunning god. Some say Tzeentch originates from hope, symbolizing twisted wisdom. The thoughts and hopes of all living beings provide him with power."

"He is the God of Deception, a master of magic, and also understands 'Fate' and 'Time', grasping the changes and laws of all things in the universe. His plans span millennia; he even knows the ultimate fate of every distant star. The ultimate fate of each individual is trivial to him and not worth knowing."

"He also has many avatars: the Messenger of Hope, the Weaver of Fate, the Deceiver, the Supreme Eagle, the Lord of Deception, the Eagle of Fate, and Qingbao Tianzun."

Li Mochen looked at Zhuanxu in great surprise: "Qingbao Tianzun? Are you sure, Senior Brother?"

This was a very famous great god in the Eastern immortal world, whose prestige was almost on par with the Earth Immortal Ancestor Zhen Yuanzi. He had passed down many traditions, and although not as prosperous as the Chan or Jie sects, he was still considered an orthodox lineage of Daoism, not a heterodoxy.

"Few know about this, but we are certain. You don't need to worry too much. Although we don't know his intentions, so far he has not done anything dangerous to our Eastern world. Several sect leaders have always been on guard against him."

Zhuanxu waved his sleeve: "But you must be extremely careful with him. 'Nurgle's' power affects the masses more, but with 'Tzeentch', no contract is reliable in his presence. Your friends and family could rebel and defect at any moment, and without reason."

Li Mochen frowned: "Senior Brother, do you mean that these two have already entered the Bright World, or are about to enter?"

"No! I cannot be sure." Zhuanxu shook his head: "But it's always right to be cautious. Except for Khorne, the other three Chaos Gods' powers are always silent."

He then sighed softly: "Actually, I'm not sure if it's appropriate to remind you to beware of Tzeentch. This might affect your judgment of the situation."

"Then is my Wish Tower related to Tzeentch?"

This was Li Mochen's greatest concern, as Tzeentch's power was extremely similar to his 'Divine Sky Spiritual Luck Purple Gold Tower'.

"It should be unrelated. Tzeentch's power is subject to certain restrictions and does not touch causality. His direction is prophecy and divination."

Zhuanxu's tone was uncertain: "He is certainly interested in the Wish Tower, but I think your divine treasure is avoiding him."

"What about the fifth Chaos God, Mala?"

"Mala's position is not yet stable. He has the strength to rival the other four gods, but has not been recognized by all parties. His power comes from 'Strife' and 'Freedom', so he has some conflicts with Khorne."

Zhuanxu looked at Li Mochen with a half-smile: "Do you know who bought the Statue of Liberty you sold? It was Mala."

Li Mochen's heart sank slightly.

"But don't worry, Mala has little interest in the Bright World. Even if he intervenes, it will be to stir things up. He will not allow the four Chaos Gods to advance further, nor will he let the Emperor have his way."

As Zhuanxu said this, his figure suddenly stopped.

"We're here!"

He looked ahead at a small plane the size of a small world.

"The Radwen Exchange, the largest and most high-end exchange within a million star-distances. It is ruled by the 'Mother of Stars', Radwen, hence the name Radwen Exchange or Star Exchange. Below the level of Pseudo-Truth, almost anything that exists in this world can be found here. However—"

Zhuanxu paused: "It is far more dangerous than the 'Myriad Worlds Trading Conference' I had you join before, and the rules are very chaotic. You must be careful here, and never trust any contract."

Li Mochen raised an eyebrow. He had heard of its infamy. If not for the fact that the situation in the Bright World had improved, and at the top combat level there was temporarily no power threatening the Fate Pantheon, he would not have let Zhuanxu bring him here.

"Go in and try your luck. See if you can find what you want here."

After saying this, Zhuanxu stepped in first. Li Mochen followed closely. When he broke through the realm boundary, he felt a great resistance, and an extreme sense of danger pressed on his mind.

But then the resistance disappeared, and the force that had stimulated his soul dissipated without a trace.
