Chapter 86: Morning Radiance and the New Beginning

A few days later.

Through the Extraordinary Daily, a piece of news was published.

Although rumors had already spread in the past few days,

when it was published in an authoritative official newspaper like the Extraordinary Daily, the news was undoubtedly more impactful and shocking.

[The Fall of the Evil Gods and the Church, a New Era for the Oya Continent Is About to Begin!]

This was the title of the article, and the following sections provided a detailed account of the war on the Oya Continent, the Healing Church, and the process of defeating the three evil gods.

Although the content of the report was a simple and straightforward narrative,

every word struck the readers' hearts.

The conflict between the North and South had lasted for thousands of years.

And the arrival of the evil gods had cast a shadow of danger and destruction over the entire continent.

Now, abruptly, the Church that had once ruled the continent and contended with the Northern Empire had fallen.

The evil gods that had brought the danger of destruction to the Oya Continent had also been slain.

The old chapter had been turned over.

The Oya Continent was indeed about to enter a new era.

Soon, this news spread rapidly from the Blood Dream Arena to every corner of the continent.

Within a single day, the entire world of the Oya Continent was shaken by the impact of this news.

The old historical era had passed.

A new dawn was about to be born.

And the location for the division of the new world order was the Star Observation Tower.

…

Star Observation Tower.

After seeing off the many supporters from the Holy Feather Dark Source Continent at the Ancient Shadow Gate,

Gune finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The celebrations of the past few days had given Gune, who preferred quiet, quite a headache.

When many powerful figures came to help and resolve the crisis on the Oya Continent, such a major event naturally required careful hospitality.

Fortunately, the social engagements of the past few days were finally over.

"Huh..." Gune let out a long breath.

Mullander and Hellsa beside him both smiled; they could see that Gune really didn't like such socializing, but there was no helping it.

Before Gune could even have a moment of rest,

Mullander, who was nearby, flew over and reminded him in a low voice.

"The rulers of the three empires—Yulan, Heiyu, and Shengluya—are still waiting in the living room!"

Gune raised an eyebrow.

"The division of territories?"

"Yes." Mullander nodded.

"That doesn't seem to have anything to do with me!" Gune spread his hands.

"But the world war does have something to do with you!" Mullander smiled.

"The more territory one occupies, the more troops and resources one must contribute."

"Moreover, there are some matters they need to discuss with you in detail."

"Alright!" Gune shrugged.

Gune had little interest in occupying territories or their division.

But he was quite interested in the world war.

When he arrived at the living room,

the three rulers of the empires were waiting there.

The Emperor of the Yulan Empire, Dylan III.

The Grand Duke of the Heiyu Empire, Ades Castro.

And the Federal President of the Shengluya Federal Empire, Saint Roel Piazza.

"Lord Gune."

The three bowed to Gune first.

Gune was no longer what he used to be; whether it was his future position as a saint or deity, his identity as a great favored one, or the nightmare-dominator favored clans behind him,

none of them could afford to provoke him casually.

"Three elders." Gune slightly bowed in return.

"I don't understand much about territorial matters. Please discuss them among yourselves. Just don't start fighting." Gune teased lightly.

The three chuckled softly.

Fighting was unlikely, but arguments were probably inevitable.

After all, territories meant extremely rich resources to them, more important than anything else.

"Gentlemen, let me take you to the conference room. It's spacious there and convenient for spreading out your territorial maps." Mullander said.

"Hmm!" The three nodded in agreement without refusal.

A moment later, Mullander, who had taken the three to the conference room, returned.

Before Mullander could sit down,

Dylan III's voice rang out, full of vigor.

"The Healing Church borders our Yulan Empire. I want all of the Church's territory."

"Nonsense! It borders our Heiyu Empire even more. Logically, I should take it all."

"How about this: you two split the Church's territory, and the rest goes to us Shengluya?"

"Are you crazy? So much territory—aren't you afraid of choking?"

"Heh... We Shengluya don't have much, but we have big appetites."

"How about we join forces and wipe out Shengluya first?"

"I think that's a great idea..."

"..."

Soon, the arguing grew more intense.

"Good thing I didn't get involved." Gune secretly rejoiced.

Mullander, seated, casually waved his hand.

An invisible barrier isolated the living room from the outside, also blocking the arguing voices of the three.

While drinking coffee, Gune chatted casually with the two elders, Mullander and Hellsa.

As for the world war, it was better to discuss it after the empire rulers finished their negotiations.

"Are you going to continue cultivating in seclusion, or..." Mullander asked softly.

"The world war doesn't really need much of my strength. I've decided to cultivate in seclusion, at least until I reach the demigod level." Gune said.

"That makes sense." Mullander nodded slightly.

At the saint level, from the first to the fourth tier, one cannot use divine power.

Their strength is weaker than that of divine envoys and ancestral spirits.

But once one becomes a demigod, it's different.

A saint-level powerhouse will then surpass and easily suppress a saint-level ancestral spirit.

"Recently, those Eros creatures have started appearing on our Oya Continent, and there are many Eros creature clans infiltrating the surroundings. If you have time, you can go investigate." Mullander said softly.

This made Gune frown slightly.

Eros creatures were indeed a problem, and a big one at that.

Moreover, Gune had heard that after killing some church members and foreign experts, people had used necromancy to probe the souls of some of them.

The information from those souls indicated that Eros creatures would pose a very terrifying threat.

They might even cause a catastrophe.

At the same time, these strange creatures would appear in every corner of the Gurontan World Cluster and other surrounding world clusters.

The ability to appear across vast distances of time and space was also a peculiar trait of these bizarre creatures.

"I understand."

As the three chatted,

more than half an hour passed quickly.

At that moment, the door to the conference room opened.

The three empire rulers filed out.

Although they had argued fiercely earlier, they were now calm and composed, their emotions undisturbed by the previous quarrel.

"Finished discussing so soon?" Mullander looked over.

"The general direction has been decided. The details still need discussion, but that would take a lot of time, so we won't keep you waiting here." Dylan III said.

Then, the three sat down on a wide sofa nearby.

"Since everyone is here, Gune, tell us your plan for the world war." Mullander looked at Gune.

Since Gune had initiated the world war, it was natural for him to lead it.

After all, Gune indeed had the ability and strength.

And no one would be dissatisfied.

Even if someone was, they would have to keep it to themselves.

"Everyone..."

After a moment of deliberation, Gune spoke softly.
