THE GOD EATER

To execute the plan, every Dao Lord sent down an avatar into the first dimension. Then they went as a group to every viable world to set up their domains.

The acts of seven Dao Lords sending avatars into the Sea of Worlds immediately drew attention throughout the third heaven, This was because the avatars could be seen directly from the third heaven.

No Dao Lord needed to tear a rift into the barrier of the third heaven to see them. Anyone who so much as looks down would see the seven avatars gallivanting though the sea of worlds, This wouldn’t be the case if the avatars had stayed within the Blessed Heaven like they were doing before.

The attention they drew came from not only the four other Dao Lords, but from the invading Dao Lords. But for the moment, the bystanders only watched to see what they were up to. No one else was stepping into the scene to interfere.

Only a super world can accommodate many pathways and can serve as an anchor for the Supreme Metac of Dao Lords. Because of this, the first stop on their journey was super worlds.

Just a day ago, there used to be four super worlds in the Blessed Heaven World. But with the appearance of Wandering Thief, a new super world had appeared, making the total number of super worlds 5.

Of the previous four super worlds, Black Chain had managed to set up his Domain in every one. He had used his five pathways to set up a Domain with a size of 24.7 billion square kilometers in the four super worlds, totalling 98.8 billion square kilometers.

A Cosmic Dao like the Death Pathway would create a Domain with a size of 8.1 billion square kilometers. A Grand Dao added a maximum of 4.7 billion square kilometers, while a Major Domain could add a maximum of 2.5 billion square kilometers, and a Minor Dao could only add a maximum of 900 million square kilometers.

Black Chain had one Cosmic Dao, three Grand Daos, and one Major Dao, adding up to 24.7 billion square kilometers in each super world.

In the Sea of Worlds, his avatar had to share the power of his Domain with every other pathway and the will of the world. The avatar of Dao Lords could only mobilize the power of the Domain that is equal to their proportion of the total size of the super world that their pathways control.

Only his true body in the third heaven could use the complete power of the Domain. Not only that, but the true body can combine the power of the Domain from every super world to empower itself instead of being limited to one world.

The ability to combine the empowerment of every Domain in the Sea of Worlds into the true body was why Black Chain was one of the strongest Dao Lords. He had five pathways in every super world, while the second best had three pathways in three super worlds.

Tepid Scholar was the second best in terms of Domain. His three Grand Daos enabled him to create Domains with a size of 14.1 billion square kilometers. When the power of the three Domains in three super worlds were combined within him, the total Domain that his true body could use was 42.3 billion square kilometers.

A Domain attribute of 42.3 billion square kilometers was not even half of what Black Chain was enjoying. Heavenly Eye and the others fared much worse.

When all of the divinity from all of the pathways that Black Chain owned was combined with his superiority in the Domain aspect, it became common sense for all of them to go into hiding and never dare to show their face to Black Chain in the third heaven.

Of course, time had changed. Because of recent developments, Black Chain was no longer superior in any aspect.

His Domain was still intact in the super worlds he had set them up in, but because of the loss of the pathways he used to anchor them, the power he could mobilize from them had now fallen to abysmal levels.

Black Chain now had one pathway, which is a Grand Dao. So the power of the Domain that he could get from it was 4.7 billion square kilometers. Since he had his Domain set up in three worlds, the total Domain had become 14.1, which is three times smaller than what Tepid Scholar had before.

As for Tepid Scholar, if this Dao Lord of the Myriad Phenomenon Sect could assimilate the Death Pathway and the Forging Pathway, he would have one Cosmic Dao and four Grand Daos, bringing the size of a Domain to 31.6 billion square kilometers and raising his total from three super worlds to 94.8 billion square kilometers.

A Domain attribute of 94.8 billion square kilometers will still be less than what Black Chain was enjoying at his peak. But if Tepid Scholar can set up his Domain in four super worlds, he would be able to raise that total to 126.4 billion square kilometers.

Even without assimilating the two recently acquired pathways, Tepid Scholar would be able to raise his total Domain attribute from 42.3 billion square kilometers to 56.4 billion square kilometers. This was why he readily agreed with Heavenly Eye’s plan even though he didn’t trust her.

As Loki had said, the Dao Lords he knew weren’t the greatest source of danger to him right now. His greatest sources of danger were his son and the invading Dao Lords he didn’t know about.

’There is danger on every side, but with enough time, I will prevail,’ he thought to himself confidently.

Unfortunately, the process of setting up the domains in the four super worlds faced an opposition at the very beginning. The three Dao Lords, Green Fire, Immobile Mountain, and Carefree Immortal, refused to allow more people into their super worlds.
