LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 802
In the time that followed, with the disappearance of the two Creation Saints, the Saint Ancestor Realm became the supreme force in the universe.
Being the strongest in strength, the Kunlun Realm undoubtedly stood at the forefront of all realms, earning its title as the unrivaled strongest realm!
Meanwhile, the Celestial Court emerged as the strongest force in the universe!
Rumors in the starry skies even suggested that the Divine Court had essentially ceased to exist and should now be referred to as the Celestial Court instead!
Not a single person dared to object.
After all, the Celestial Court was shining like the sun, with no forces able to stand against it. The Celestial Court’s master was firmly at the pinnacle of the world, symbolizing invincibility in this era following the disappearance of the Creation Saints!
Even the former master of the Divine Court chose to avoid confrontation, not daring to battle, especially since the former high-ranking members of the Divine Court were almost entirely wiped out by Ye Tian Emperor. Those small fry had even less say.
It’s safe to say that the Celestial Court now reigned supreme, firmly holding the unique position of a hegemon!
Thus, the transition from Divine Court Realm to Celestial Court Realm made perfect sense!
As many powerful beings had speculated, the Celestial Court quickly issued a declaration, stating that the master of the Divine Court was incompetent and unworthy of the position. From this day forth, the master of the Celestial Court would take charge, rule over all realms, and officially announce the renaming of Divine Court Realm to Celestial Court Realm!
Boom!
Once this declaration was issued, it triggered a violent reaction throughout the universe.
After all, this was tantamount to declaring the Divine Court was overthrown; Divine Court Realm was now a thing of the past!
Panlong Wusheng, the lord of the Holy Martial Realm, was the first to step forward and express his agreement, even declaring his willingness to lead the Holy Martial Realm in submission to the Celestial Court for generations to come!
Though he feared the Divine Court’s master would settle the score later, given they had come this far, he might as well plunge into darkness!
Seeing Panlong Wusheng declare his stance, the leaders of other worlds cursed under their breath. They couldn’t even try to keep a low profile; if they didn’t show support, would that not offend the Celestial Court? What good would come of that in the future?
Originally, Panlong Wusheng wasn’t eager to jump in; they were hoping to collectively remain silent.
After all, the Divine Court’s master was not dead yet; they were just hiding. What if one day, they emerged to take charge, restoring the era of the Divine Court? Those who openly supported the Celestial Court might not live to see another day!
You see, just because the Bright Clan leader, Situ Tian, had faced divine punishment and been killed by the Divine Court’s master for one disrespectful move, did that not prove how easily a mighty powerhouse could be crushed, like squashing an ant?
Therefore, they could hardly imagine what would happen if one day the Divine Court’s master returned to reclaim control of the starry skies; those who openly voiced their support for the Celestial Court would likely be wiped out!
Considering the danger in all that, the world leaders internally lamented, feeling deep-seated resentment towards Panlong Wusheng!
There was no choice—if they did not express support, it was akin to declaring war against the Celestial Court!
In the end, most world leaders believed, once the Divine Court master fully recovered, the glory of the Celestial Court would fade into nothingness.
After all, that was a Creation Saint, a transcendent existence forever above all cosmic beings.
The Celestial Court’s master was powerful, but when it came down to it, he was still in the Saint Ancestor Realm. How could he possibly defeat a Creation Saint?
It was likely that even resisting might prove difficult!
In such a situation, the risk of an imbalanced side would lead to a massive reckoning!
Many leaders were feeling extremely troubled and indecisive.
Dao Zhangqing, the new leader of the Wushi Realm, harbored a strong grudge against the Celestial Court, as his most respected master had died at the hands of the Celestial Court’s ruler. The entire dao lineage had suffered severely as a result. Fortunately, he finally broke through to the Saint Ancestor Realm and stood up to stabilize the situation.
Seeing many world leaders waver, Dao Zhangqing knew the opportunity had arrived and immediately incited a coalition against the Celestial Court, advocating for a united front, refusing to recognize the Celestial Court’s legitimacy and waiting for the Divine Court’s master to return.
“Everyone, Panlong Wusheng wanting to be a lapdog for the Celestial Court is his business. We refuse to acknowledge the Celestial Court’s legitimacy. As long as we hold strong, the Celestial Court will have to compromise. When the Divine Court’s master returns one day, we won’t be dragged down with them!” Dao Zhangqing said solemnly.
After all, the Wushi Realm was once the first under the Divine Court. Although it had fallen to second place, its residual power remained, and it still drew strong conviction.
“Amitabha, what the benefactor says makes sense. I believe that Ye Junlin has already fallen into the Demonic Path; he is a great demon masquerading in human skin. The very fact that he dared to slay our true Buddha is enough proof of this,” said the new leader of the Buddhist Clan. Along with him, the Western Sky Realm despised Ye Junlin, believing he disdained the Buddhist path and was unworthy of ruling all realms.
“Why don’t we just join forces, collectively remain silent, and force the Celestial Court to compromise!” suggested Situ Mo, the new leader of the Paradise Realm.
Situ Mo’s elder brother was Situ Tian, who was eliminated by the Divine Court’s master. However, he did not harbor hatred towards that master, as he believed the perpetrator behind it all was Ye Junlin. Had Ye Junlin not killed the Bright Holy Body’s successor, then his elder brother wouldn’t have rushed for revenge and offended the Divine Court’s master, leading to his execution.
Many leaders found that reasoning compelling; they weren’t openly opposing, just choosing to remain silent on the matter, hoping the Celestial Court would not pester them.
In summary, all realms united and chose not to speak, testing what the Celestial Court could do to them!
And so, under the clandestine provocation of these three giants, aside from Panlong Wusheng, very few realm leaders stepped up to express their stance.
They were betting that the Celestial Court would relent.
In essence, it was, “If you want to establish the Celestial Court Realm, that’s your business! We won’t oppose it, nor will we voice our support. Do what you want!”
“Master, aside from us, no other world wishes to support the Celestial Court!” In the Holy Martial Realm, Xiang Jiba’s expression was grim.
“Humph, do they think they can just smooth things over like that? How naive! Just watch; the show is about to begin,” Panlong Wusheng remarked coolly, gazing at the starry sky.
Meanwhile, in the Celestial Court.
Upon receiving this news, Ye Junlin raised an eyebrow. “They dare ignore me?”
Several days had passed since the Celestial Court issued its declaration, and only the Holy Martial Realm led by Panlong Wusheng expressed submission.
The other worlds were uncharacteristically quiet, as though they had conspired together!
Now, the so-called Celestial Court Realm seemed more like a joke than when the Divine Court was around!
“Ah, they’re probably just afraid the Divine Court’s master will seek them out for retribution and want to distance themselves from us as much as possible,” Liu Huangshu said helplessly.
“Heh, to put it bluntly, they just don’t trust my power, do they? They think I’ll be toppled eventually,” Ye Junlin replied, a sharp smile on his lips.
At this remark, Liu Huangshu was left speechless.
Suddenly, a red figure appeared in the Great Hall.
Hong Qianye clasped her hands and said solemnly, “Master, I have urgent news to report!”
“Speak!”
“According to my spies, the leaders of the Wushi Realm and the Western Sky Realm as well as the Paradise Realm are secretly inciting their fellow leaders to oppose the Celestial Court, which has created the current situation.”
Upon hearing this, the temperature in the Great Hall dropped rapidly, and Liu Huangshu couldn’t help but shiver.
Ye Junlin’s eyes narrowed, revealing a dangerous glimmer. “Oh, playing it this way, are we?”
These three worlds had never gotten along with the Kunlun Realm and had been thoroughly beaten down by him. He hadn’t expected them to be so disobedient.
In light of this, he wouldn’t hold back anymore!
“Master, should we…” Hong Qianye asked tentatively.
Ye Junlin replied coldly, “Kill! Kill them all!”
“Understood! I will immediately take my people to capture and execute these three bastards to warn the others!”
With that, Hong Qianye prepared to leave and carry out the order.
“Wait, who told you to do that? What I meant was to not leave a single one of the three worlds alive! Annihilate them all!” Ye Junlin’s tone sharpened.
“What?!”
Liu Huangshu was left dumbfounded.
The Wushi Realm, Western Sky Realm, Paradise Realm—each of these worlds was a superpower with profound heritage and history. The myriad beings it housed numbered in the trillions!
If truly annihilated, he couldn’t even begin to imagine the uproar it would cause!
Even Hong Qianye, raised amidst the brutal bloodshed in the Demonic Path, was shaken by her master’s decision and felt her heart tremble.
Initially, she thought they should capture the leaders of these three worlds and execute them as a warning to the other realms.
Who would have thought Ye Junlin intended for the outright destruction of these three worlds!
Hong Qianye suddenly realized she hadn’t been ruthless enough…
“Go, and bring plenty of people,” Ye Junlin commanded as he turned away.
“Yes!”
Hong Qianye suppressed her excitement and left the Great Hall in a flash.
She had no objections to this, and instead felt a hint of eagerness!
Liu Huangshu wanted to say something but ultimately chose to remain silent.
After all, these three worlds had not been kind to the Kunlun Realm previously, and such a fate was somewhat deserved.
Ye Junlin was satisfied that Liu Huangshu didn’t oppose him; otherwise, he would have been truly disappointed.
His greatest disdain was for those who went soft at critical moments!
The actions of the three worlds were nothing but a slap in his face!
If that was the case, they would have to bear the consequences!
At the same time, this was a way to establish authority for the Celestial Court!
