The two True Gods heading towards the Beast Nest known as the “Dim Region” were “Hong,” who had just attained the status of a True God three billion eras ago, and the other was the Tongmo God, originating from the first cycle epoch of the Cosmic Sea. Among all the True Gods in the Cosmic Sea, they could only be regarded as average, yet they shared two common traits…
First, both possessed mechanical stream treasures!
Second, both had extremely strong wills!
They journeyed toward the Dim Region aboard a True God-level warship, but were ambushed by Realm Beasts at the edge of the Dim Region and fled in terror.
…
In the vast chaos currents of the Cosmic Sea, besides the four deadly regions, there were other dangerous places, though some had been claimed by powerful True Gods as their residences.
One such place was the Juhe Sea.
Originally called the ‘Golden Sand Sea’, although True Gods were not afraid of it, they dared not recklessly charge through. But after the Juhe True God greatly enhanced his power in the Jin World, he swept through the Golden Sand Sea and placed a palace treasure at its center, making it his home.
“Be careful, the teacher will be hosting the other seven top experts in the Cosmic Sea, so you must not slack off,” a Cosmic Lord with a pair of reddish-bronze curved horns on his head looked down and commanded a group of Cosmic Sovereigns.
“Yes.”
“Yes.” All the Cosmic Sovereigns were extremely respectful.
The Cosmic Lord with reddish-bronze curved horns nodded. “Go prepare.”
The Cosmic Sovereigns immediately dispersed, quietly exchanging words with each other, filled with excitement and anticipation.
Juhe True God was a solitary True God.
Though he had been low-key and in long-term cultivation during the second cycle era, his strength was absolutely formidable. Many special race lives were subservient to him. Because he was about to host seven other supreme experts, Juhe True God specially summoned some Cosmic Sovereigns from his small universe to serve as attendants.
“The other seven overlords will arrive soon. We actually have the honor to see these seven overlords of the Cosmic Sea.”
“Together with our teacher, that makes eight overlords.”
“They will be here soon.”
The Cosmic Sovereigns eagerly awaited.
After a long while, two streaks of light flew from afar, their speed astonishingly fast, soon decelerating to arrive.
“Haha, Shenyan, Beiche, you two actually came together.”
A barefoot, crimson-skinned deity emerged from the palace. He strode forward, treading upon the void, each step scattering strange blossoms of flame. Upon his head were dozens of small golden horns, and his six eyes gleamed with an emerald radiance.
“Haven’t the others arrived yet?”
“You two came first, so the others should be coming soon.” Juhe personally welcomed them, and the three conversed as they entered the palace.
…
After Shenyan Sovereign and Beiche Star Lord arrived, the Haimaster soon arrived.
Then came the Nine-Headed Demon Lord.
“Boom~~~” Three magnificent streaks of light flew from afar.
The previously arrived Haimaster, Shenyan Sovereign, Beiche Star Lord, Nine-Headed Demon Lord, and the host Juhe True God all personally came out to greet them. From afar, the three streaks of light transformed into three figures. One was a human man wearing a golden robe, a faint smile on his face, his eyes faintly glowing with peculiar golden light.
Another was a sinister-looking middle-aged man, his face pale, with black secret patterns on it, exuding a sinister charm.
In the center was a man wearing seemingly ordinary white robes. He scanned the surroundings, his eyes containing unimaginable magic… Simply locking eyes with him caused even Juhe True God, Shenyan Sovereign, and others to involuntarily tremble.
These three were respectively the supreme ruler of the first major force in the Cosmic Sea—the Chaos City Lord! The representative of the second major force in the Original Universe, the Ancestral God Religion, known as the ‘Jiuyou True God’ who possessed an immortal body! And the third one… was the acknowledged strongest being in the entire Cosmic Sea, and it was rumored that he held immense power in the Jin World—the Milky Way Lord!
“Chaos, Jiuyou, Milky Way, only the three of you are left.”
The other five welcomed them.
The power structure of the Cosmic Sea had completely changed.
The ancient civilization greatly increased the probability of ‘True Gods’ being born. However, True Gods could only be born within the Original Universe! Therefore, currently, the strongest force in the Cosmic Sea was the Original Universe era, with the first cycle era and the second cycle era combined not matching the strength of the Original Universe era.
As for the two holy lands?
The Realm Beast relied on True Gods for battle!
But the two holy lands lacked any prominent True Gods and had long been excluded.
Now, regarding the number of True Gods.
Humans ranked first, the Ancestral God Religion ranked second, and the Star-Beast Alliance ranked third. This was the ranking within the Original Universe.
Most of those who attained the status of True Gods within a trillion epochs had already reached the level of Cosmic Lords in ancient times. For instance, races such as the Monster Race, Insect Race, and Mechanical Race were all annihilated by Luo Feng in the Jin World, resulting in the deaths of over 200 Cosmic Lords. These Cosmic Lords had achieved their rank without inheriting the ancient civilization’s legacy, having been meticulously selected—each one of them was an elite.
Since Luo Feng had wiped them all out in one go, the Demon Race and the Bug Race were left with only a handful of Cosmic Lords, so their number of True Gods was naturally extremely limited!
Since the Ancestral God Sect and the Star-Beast Alliance suffered no losses, they possessed a significantly greater number of True Gods!
In fact, the number of alien races in the ‘Hong Alliance’ was originally large, so theoretically, they should have produced more True Gods. However… After the allied forces disbanded, the greatest threat to humans actually came from the alien races within the Hong Alliance! These alien races had hundreds of Cosmic Lords, while humans had only about twenty at that time.
The power ratio was vastly different.
Humans naturally had to suppress them.
Over the past ten thousand epochs, humans did more to suppress the alien races within the Hong Alliance. If they hadn’t been suppressed and allowed to develop freely, humans might no longer have the ability to control them now. It was precisely because of continuous suppression and control… that these alien races dared not harbor rebellious thoughts and had to respect humans as their masters.
…
To address the crisis of the Realm Beasts, we relied on the top experts.
After all, there were only so many True Gods in the Cosmic Sea; victory could not be achieved through numbers alone but only through quality! Therefore, over the past trillion epochs… thanks to the gains and cultivation in the Jin World, the Cosmic Sea had produced eight acknowledged supreme beings, the strongest eight in the Cosmic Sea.
The first was the long-revered Shenyan Sovereign! From the first cycle era.
The second was the most formidable of the Skeleton Clan, the Haimaster, who had waged war against the Shenyan race for an immeasurable span of time. Within the Jin World, the Haimaster also reaped tremendous benefits, swiftly augmenting his power until he became a match for the Shenyan Sovereign.
The third was Beiche Star Lord, who often publicly lectured in the ‘Black Stone Pillars’ and was a highly respected and extremely powerful expert.
These were the three from the first cycle era.
The fourth was Juhe True God.
The fifth was the Nine-Headed Demon Lord.
These two were the strongest of the second cycle era, both special lives, clearly indicating that special life experts held high status in the Cosmic Sea, like ‘Sitting Mountain Guest’. He had always remained low-key and not involved in any conflicts. Although everyone knew this old fellow was very strong, no one knew exactly how strong, so he naturally wasn’t among the eight overlords.
The sixth was Jiuyou True God, possessing infinite divine power that countless experts envied.
The seventh was Chaos City Lord. During his time as a Cosmic Lord, he was already extremely brilliant. After becoming a True God and cultivating for a long time, especially with Luo Feng as his excellent disciple, the detailed inheritance of the ancient civilization also brought Chaos City Lord’s strength to an extremely high level.
The eighth was Milky Way Lord, Luo Feng’s strength, which still puzzled the major forces in the Cosmic Sea. Because Luo Feng was merely a Cosmic Lord, yet possessed the ‘number one’ strength in the Cosmic Sea… It should be known that other True Gods all understood burning divine power techniques and mechanical stream treasures, yet still couldn’t defeat Luo Feng.
If a trillion epochs ago, Shenyan Sovereign had once fought against Luo Feng. But now, the other seven overlords… had all publicly admitted they couldn’t defeat Luo Feng.
Clearly, over a trillion epochs, although Luo Feng hadn’t broken through, his strength had become even greater than before!
…
In the center of the endless swirling sand sea, within the dazzling palace, around a crystalline round table, there were eight thrones. On the round table were many exquisite fruits and wines taken from various cycle eras of the Cosmic Sea.
The eight of them, including Luo Feng, sat down separately.
“The Huaxin True God of your human race and the Tongmoshen of the first cycle era went to the Dim Region.” Juhe True God, with crimson skin, spoke first, naturally exhaling flames from his mouth and nose. “Milky Way, Chaos, you two should know a lot about the Dim Region.”
The Lord of Chaos City nodded and said, “The two True Gods, Hong and Tong, are both extremely skilled in illusions! Their willpower is also exceptionally strong… When they cautiously approached the edge of the dark region, they were suddenly ambushed by three Realm Beasts. Although they were safe inside the warship, the moment they stepped out, the three Realm Beasts roared simultaneously. Although Hong and Tong resisted that无形soul attack, they still suffered significant injuries. Subsequently, the three Realm Beasts attacked together, instantly severely injuring Tongmoshen and forcing them to retreat immediately.”
(Note: “界兽” is transliterated as “Jie Beast” since it appears to be a proper noun in the context. If it refers to a specific creature in the setting, the original term may be retained or adapted per the work’s established translation.)
“First, the soul attacks of the Realm Beast are extremely powerful. One must possess supreme soul treasures! Even then, the pain would still be unbearable. Remember, their willpower surpassed even that of a True God,” the Chaos City Lord said gravely.
“Second, the Realm Beast’s strength is overwhelming, far exceeding theirs. Just an energy attack severely wounded Tongmoshen without even engaging in a true battle. The energy wielded by the Realm Beast differs from our divine power. Of course, while it annihilates our divine power, the Realm Beast’s energy also gradually dissipates.”
Luo Feng nodded. “Yes, it’s like a force completely opposite to divine power.”
Back then on Haolei Star Lord, Luo Feng had experienced this kind of force.
Now, the Realm Beasts were using this kind of power!
This was also why, despite having mechanical stream treasures, Tongmoshen was quickly severely injured. Because Tongmoshen and Hong both had ordinary divine bodies, they simply couldn’t withstand the consumption.
“To deal with the Realm Beasts, ordinary True Gods won’t suffice.” Shenyan Sovereign shook his head slightly. “And now we still don’t know how many Realm Beasts are left!”
