688 Divine Palace in Trouble

Divine Venerable Pelagios was the ruler of the Pelagios Domain. It was rumored that the Divine Venerable Pelagios was also a very ancient Divine Venerable, and even had some relation to the Divine Emperor of Silence.

Hence, Lin Feng had to be on guard.

Divine Venerable Pelagios shook his head and said, “I did have some plans before I came.”

“What about now?”

“Now?”

Divine Venerable Pelagios smiled weakly and said, “I have no plans now. Whether it’s the Divine Emperor of Silence or the Divine Emperor’s heart, they have nothing to do with me now.”

“Hmm?”

Lin Feng was a little surprised that this Divine Venerable Pelagios could actually see through the true identity of Divine Heart. However, on second thought, it made sense. Divine Venerable Pelagios was an esteemed Divine Venerable. How could he be comparable to ordinary Divine Kings?

After Divine Heart came to the Pelagios Domain, he had not gone to visit the Divine Venerable Pelagios. In fact, this was already indicative of something. Divine Heart must have some reservations about Divine Venerable Pelagios.

“Divine Venerable had designs previously, but not now. Why?”

“Haha, Grand Emperor, why ask when you already know the answer? Grand Emperor has comprehended the Law of Life, and also comprehended the Principle of Space, Principle of Tides, and Principle of Destruction, integrating the three Principle as one. Although I’m a Divine Venerable, I can’t kill a Grand Emperor with the Law of Life. Moreover, I can’t trap a Grand Emperor who can warp space and leave. What designs can I have?”

Divine Venerable Pelagios threw his head back and laughed aloud. He was speaking the truth, appearing very frank.

In reality, this was what Divine Venerable Pelagios had considered. He had hidden in the dark previously because he had discovered the true identity of Divine Heart. How dare a mere Divine Emperor’s heart be so impudent?

He even planned to reap the benefits after Divine Heart and Lin Feng injured each other. Unfortunately, things did not go according to his wishes. After Lin Feng suppressed Divine Heart, Divine Venerable Pelagios completely gave up on any idea of competing entirely.

“Then why did Divine Venerable not leave previously, and continued to hide?”

Lin Feng would not trust Divine Venerable Pelagios so easily.

“The reason I didn’t leave was that I was worried that Grand Emperor would misunderstand. To express my goodwill, I have a message specially for you.”

“What message?”

“It’s regarding the Bemond Galaxy. Divine King Bemond has been in trouble recently. Grand Emperor probably doesn’t know yet, right?”

“Trouble?”

“That’s right. Divine King Bemond must be very distressed now. If Grand Emperor doesn’t believe me, you’ll naturally find out when you return to the Bemond Galaxy.”

Lin Feng frowned. He did not know if he should trust Divine Venerable Pelagios. However, it seemed like there was no need for Divine Venerable Pelagios to lie about this. That would be meaningless.

“Thank you, Divine Venerable Pelagios.”

“Grand Emperor, you’re too polite. You have good as eliminated a threat for the Pelagios Domain. If you hadn’t done so, I’m afraid that I’ll be the next target of Divine Heart! By the way, if Grand Emperor needs me for anything in the future, you can send a message to me directly.”

With that, Divine Venerable Pelagios gave Lin Feng his contact number directly.

Lin Feng looked at Divine Venerable Pelagios for a long while, then cupped his hands and said, “Goodbye.”

Swoosh.

Lin Feng warped space and left.

Divine Venerable Pelagios’ eyes narrowed slightly. There was some regret in his eyes, but also some rejoice.

“Law of Life, Principle of Space, consummate combat body… This Lin Feng is probably the strongest Grand Emperor in history! Now that he’s suppressed Divine Heart, it’s likely that no one can stop him from becoming a Divine Emperor. Once he becomes a Divine Emperor, he’ll be a Universal Supremacy comparable to the Divine Emperor of Silence back then, and dominate an era! Befriending a future Universal Supremacy through a message is worth it!”

Divine Venerable Pelagios actually had nothing to be regretful about. Although the heart of a Divine Emperor was important and even involved the secret of the Divine Emperor of Silence, would obtaining the heart of a Divine Emperor definitely allow one to become a Divine Emperor?

Divine Venerable Pelagios knew very well that the most important thing to becoming a Divine Emperor was to rely on oneself. External items were just supplementary. Even if he obtained Divine Heart, he might not be able to become a Divine Emperor.

On the other hand, befriending Lin Feng, the future Universal Supremacy, would be a different matter.

Divine Venerable Pelagios could tell which was more important. Unfortunately, the ten great Divine Kings were too foolish. They chose to obey Divine Heart’s orders, and instead fought against a future Universal Supremacy.

It was simply foolish to the extreme!

…

“Divine Venerable Pelagios is quite an interesting individual.”

Lin Feng walked out of the spatial passage.

“Hmm, I’ve arrived at the Bemond Galaxy.”

Lin Feng felt a little emotional. The Bemond Galaxy was an unknown distance from the Pelagios Domain. Even when Lin Feng had comprehended the ultimate Law of Space in the past, he still needed to warp many times to arrive at the Bemond Galaxy.

But now, Lin Feng had already comprehended the Principle of Space. Although the entire universe was vast, there was no place that could truly impede Lin Feng.

There were almost no people, power, or artifacts that could trap cultivators who had comprehended the Principle of Space in this universe. Even during the battle between Lin Feng and Divine Heart, as long as Lin Feng wanted to leave, Divine Heart could not stop him.

In other words, even if Divine Heart wanted to leave, Lin Feng could not stop him either.

Unfortunately, Divine Heart was overconfident. He thought that everything was in place, that he could manipulate Lin Feng and his plan was flawless. But in reality? He had now already become Lin Feng’s prisoner, trapped in the Starfell Pearl.

Lin Feng had comprehended the Principle of space. There was no limit to the distance he could travel at once, and it could almost extend to every corner of the universe. From now on, no matter how vast and massive the entire universe was, it was nothing in Lin Feng’s eyes. He could arrive anywhere in the universe in an instant.

The surroundings of the Bemond Galaxy were very calm, and there was no killing intent. It did not look like anything had happened. However, it was impossible for the Divine Venerable Pelagios to deceive Lin Feng with fake news. What would be the point?

It would only take a thought for Lin Feng to return to the Pelagios Domain.

“I’ll go to the Divine Palace of Bemond to take a look.”

Since he had already arrived at the Bemond Galaxy, Lin Feng naturally had to find out the truth. The most direct method was to go to the Divine Palace of Bemond and ask Divine King Bemond personally.

…

In the Divine Palace of Bemond, Divine King Inferno, Divine King Tempest, Divine King Occult, and Divine King Bemond were all gathered.

During the last trip to the Silent Galaxy, only the four Divine Kings, survived, so their relationship became even closer. But now, the four esteemed Divine Kings all had grim expressions, as if something major had happened.

“Divine King Occult, what does your divination say?”

The three Divine Kings all looked at Divine King Occult. With Divine King Occult’s divinations, although one could not avoid all the trouble, they could minimize unnecessary losses.

Divine King Occult shook his head and said, “I don’t quite understand the situation. It involves a Divine Venerable and can’t be deduced. Although I can’t deduce it, I received vague clues that there seems to be a chance of a turnabout. As for what the turnabout is, I’m not sure.”

“A turnabout?”

Divine King Bemond smiled weakly and said, “What other turnabout can there be now? There are only three days left until the three-month deadline. If we don’t agree now, the Divine Kings under Divine Venerable of Massacre will probably come to the Bemond Galaxy personally. How will we respond then?”

“The Divine Venerable of Massacre wanted us to serve him. That’s not a big deal in and of itself, but he intends to expand his territories without inhibition. Divine Kings like us are just cannon fodder. Hmph, how can we agree?”

“That’s right, we absolutely can’t agree to it! Cultivating is not easy for us. How can we get involved in a battle between Divine Venerables so lightly?”

“But if we don’t agree, forget about the Divine Venerable of Massacre, if even a peak Divine King under the Divine Venerable is sent, how will we resist?”

The four Divine Kings fell silent again. This was a very realistic question.

Peak Divine Kings had combat bodies of at least 200,000 light-years, but some peak Divine Kings under the Divine Venerable of Massacre even had combat bodies of more than a million light-years.

How could the four Divine Kings resist such a powerful peak Divine King?

Although they were all Divine Kings, only Divine Kings knew Divine Kings better. If angered, all the Divine Venerable of Massacre needed to do was to send a peak Divine King with a combat body of over a million light-years to sweep through the four galaxies, and defeat the four Divine Kings.

“A peak Divine King… If the three Divine Kings had not fallen in the Silent Galaxy last time, perhaps with the power of the seven Divine Kings, we might still be able to contend with them.”

“We can only barely contend with them. If we infuriate the Divine Venerable of Massacre, he has more than one peak-level Divine King under his command.”

The four Divine Kings all fell into a dilemma. Serving a Divine Venerable was actually not a big deal. There were even some benefits.

However, there was no benefit in serving the Divine Venerable of Massacre at all. Instead, it was very likely for them to become cannon fodder. The four Divine Kings were naturally unwilling, but there was no other way.

With the domineering nature of the Divine Venerable of Massacre, even if the four Divine Kings wanted to seek refuge with other Divine Venerables, it unlikely for any Divine Venerable to accept them.

“Why didn’t you inform me that the Divine Palace is in trouble?”

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded in the hall of the Divine Palace.
