Chapter 78: The Beginning of a Great Era

"Senior Murande," Gune said softly.

"Now that I have ascended to the Saint rank, it's time to deal with the evil gods in our world and the Southern Church."

"Deal with the evil gods and the Church?"

The three of them were visibly stirred.

"Gune, although I know you are powerful, you must understand that the Southern Church and those evil gods have very deep foundations."

"Those churches themselves have numerous followers and even remnants of divine power. That's one reason we haven't easily eliminated the Southern Church all along."

"Secondly, those evil gods are true deities. Although suppressed by the World's Primal Will, over the past year or two they have been absorbing the World's Primal Source, increasing their strength considerably, along with their own treasures."

"I'm afraid even with the two of you added, it would be hard to form a sufficient advantage," Murande said.

Gune spoke unhurriedly.

"Adding me and Dolans indeed wouldn't give the Northern Supernatural Association enough of an advantage."

"Senior, the otherworldly experts coming to aid us are not limited to just this friend of mine."

"A vassal race of the great Nightmare Lord will also send a certain number of divine envoys and ancestral spirits at the Fourth Realm to assist."

Fourth Realm divine envoys and ancestral spirits.

The three of them were visibly moved.

Fourth Realm divine envoys and ancestral spirits were only a step away from demigods.

Such experts were top-tier on the Oya Continent.

The Supernatural Association jointly formed by the three empires gathered almost all the power of the North.

Among them, the strongest at the Fourth Realm numbered only five or six.

The vast majority were at the First or Second Realm.

Those at the Third Realm were relatively few.

It could be said that once battle erupted, the Fourth Realm would be the most crucial core force, even determining the direction of the war and the overall situation.

No wonder Gune's mention of Fourth Realm arrivals stirred them so.

Looking at Gune, the three of them had their thoughts racing.

If what Gune said was true, then when the many fourth-rank foreign powerhouses that Gune could teleport arrived.

The continent of Oya would undergo a great change.

The historical situation of north-south confrontation, which had lasted for thousands of years, would come to an end.

And those evil gods, even if not slain, would surely be driven away from the continent of Oya.

A true era of great unification would begin.

A true transcendent era of imperial steam would descend.

The three exchanged glances, their expressions exceptionally grave; they fully understood the weight of Gune's words.

This was a historic moment that would change the continent of Oya.

"How many divine envoys and ancestral spirits of these four ranks are there?" Muland asked in a rather solemn tone.

The evil god churches in the south were very powerful; too few in number would hardly form an effective advantage.

"Thirty, and all of them are top-tier fourth-rank experts."

Thirty!

The three of them were slightly breathless.

Thirty top-tier fourth-rank divine envoys and ancestral spirits—this number was enough to sweep across the continent of Oya several times over.

Such a terrifying force descending...

"This era... is truly about to change!" the three thought to themselves.

The three of them vaguely sensed it as well.

What Gune said should be true; in this battle, their Transcendence Association would surely win.

And next, their continent of Oya would also enter a new epoch.

That was the new epoch of connecting with the outside world.

All along, the continent of Oya had been like an isolated island.

Many people believed that the continent of Oya was the entirety of the world.

Little did they know, the continent of Oya was merely one of the hundreds of small and medium-sized transcendent worlds in the Gurontein World Cluster.

However, the continent of Oya had no teleportation passages to reach the outside world, nor sufficient resources to help them get there.

Thus, the continent of Oya had always been an isolated island, cut off from the rest of the world.

And now, once Gune opened the portal to the outside world,

combined with Gune's identity and the marvels of the arena, they had vaguely guessed something.

Even if they were unwilling to initiate communication with other transcendent worlds,

Gune would inevitably do so.

Moreover, would anyone dare to obstruct Gune?

With Gune's status as a favored one of the great Nightmare Dominator and having a certain degree of control over the Blood Dream Arena, no one in the entire continent of Oya dared to offend Gune lightly.

Furthermore, Gune would become a powerful deity in the future.

After a moment of deliberation, Murand spoke in a deep voice.

"Gune, allowing powerful beings from other realms into our transcendent world is a matter of great importance."

"If anything goes wrong, it would spell utter doom for our transcendent world. The many fourth-rank divine envoys and ancestral spirits—the South cannot withstand them, nor can we."

Gune was not surprised by Murand's concern.

"Rest assured, elder."

Gune said.

"The forces those people belong to are the favored forces of the Nightmare Dominator."

"Within that force alone, there are over ten deities and more than thirty demigods."

"This force serves the great Nightmare Dominator with all its might. Those deities dare not defy the Nightmare Dominator's commands, let alone the fourth-rank divine envoys and ancestral spirits who obey the demigods and deities."

"Once they descend into our transcendent world, without my orders, they dare not engage in any other actions."

"After the battle is over, I will send them back."

"Their arrival will not cause any other disturbances to our transcendent world." Gune explained.

Murand pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly. "If that's the case, then we have no concerns."

Murand naturally believed what Gune said.

"Moreover..." Murand, still deliberating, looked back at Gune.

"Regardless, the arrival of powerful beings from other realms is no small matter, and... you probably also want to open a channel for our world to expand outward, don't you?"

At Murand's words, Gune couldn't help but laugh.

"As expected, the elder is wise with age. I can't hide anything from you."

Gune nodded lightly.

"I do have such thoughts. After all, within the Gurontar transcendent world cluster, our continent of Oya is very weak. These evil gods came from Gurontar."

"Moreover, our continent of Oya is too close to the Aberration Lands. As time passes, those Erosion beings will continuously enter our transcendent world. Our world must become strong."

For Gune, the more worlds he invaded, the more transcendent beings believed in the Nightmare Dominator.

Thus, Gune's power would grow ever more terrifying and formidable.

"However, this matter is clearly not mine alone, and I cannot accomplish it by myself, so..."

Gune looked at Murand Elkeri.

And Murand naturally understood Gune's thoughts.

Clearly, Gune wanted to bring them on board.

After all, the expansion of the entire transcendent world outward was definitely not a one-person affair.

"Rest assured, the Yulan Empire, the Transcendent Association, and the entire continent of Oya will be your solid backing." Murand clearly knew that such an opportunity must not be missed.

Otherwise, once left behind, it would not just be a beating—it might be annihilation.

Gune smiled.

"With the elder's words, I am reassured."

Previously, Gune dared not reveal too much.

But now, things were different.

Having ascended to the Saint rank, Gune now possessed sufficiently powerful strength.

At least, there was no one who could easily threaten him.

At the same time, he had a powerful favored race and that force as his trump card.

The entire Yulan Empire, the Transcendent Association, and even the whole continent of Oya in the future—

they would all have to follow his lead, not oppose him.

Only then could Gune have a stable base from which to expand into the infinite starry sky.

And the first step now was to clear out the parasites and invaders from this stable base of the continent of Oya.
