"The Death God’s Temple has split!" Obert said with a somber expression, shaking his head regretfully. "After Lord Reaper’s death, some of the disloyal ones left the Death God’s Temple; some disappeared, while others joined other demigod factions. Several powerful figures from the temple, such as the Death God, the Dark Judge, and the Eighth Marshal Ers, took the final step to enthrone themselves as deities and establish their own domains. When Lord Reaper was alive, they were bound by the Master-Servant Contract and couldn’t enthrone themselves. Out of compassion, Lord Reaper released us from our contracts before his death, yet they showed no gratitude. Not only did they enthrone themselves and establish their own domains, but they also took a large number of followers with them."

"I had suspected this might happen long ago," nodded Huang Yi. Many within the Death God’s Temple had already reached a state of Void God Great Perfection; due to the Master-Servant Contract, they could never enthrone themselves. Now that it’s been lifted, they would naturally choose to do so. After all, once enthroned, they can establish their own temples and powers, becoming an overlord in the Heaven Realm.

"But the most detestable thing isn’t all that, what infuriates me most is the Barbaric God!" Obert took a deep breath, eyes filled with rage.

"The Barbaric God?" Huang Yi’s heart stirred; he had long known the Barbaric God’s ambitions were vast, desiring not only to unify the Heaven Realm but also the Mortal Realm. Now, the Barbaric God has even intervened in the crisis of the Second World, assisting the Demon Clan in refining it, clearly intending to eliminate those Heaven-Sent like them.

"Yes! It’s the very creation that violated the Heavenly Order—the Son of God, the Barbaric God!" Obert nodded heavily. "He has long wanted to become the leader of the Demon Realm and then unify the entire Heaven Realm. When Lord Reaper went missing, he still had some scruples and dared not act against the Death God’s Temple. But after hearing news of Lord Reaper’s death, he immediately pressured the temple to submit to him. Currently, led by the Death Enforcer, Bell Ringer Messenger, Seventh Marshal, and Master of the Hall of Desolation, some high-ranking officials of the temple have already defected and sworn allegiance to the Barbaric God. Only I, the Archangel of Death, Third Marshal, and a few other high-ranking members still hold out on the Dead Star, relying on the formations left by Lord Reaper to protect ourselves temporarily. But if the Barbaric God resolves to destroy the temple, he could eventually break through the formations, leading to unprecedented catastrophe for the Dead Star, even erasing all its former glory from history."

"With the Barbaric God so dominant, have the other demon gods of the Demon Realm shown no reaction? The God of Space is currently the only Supreme God there; what’s his stance on the Barbaric God?" Huang Yi asked.

"Though the God of Space recently ended his seclusion, he remains indifferent to the Barbaric God’s actions. I believe the God of Space isn’t fixated on the Barbaric God but is observing the broader cosmic changes across the Three Realms, seeing the Barbaric God as just one of the many variables. With a reach and perspective such as his, the God of Space surpasses that of any ordinary deity."

Obert paused, then continued: "Recently, many events have unfolded in the Heaven Realm, with various factions brewing undercurrents. Even the Beast God, once hunted by the Gods, has reappeared, clearly sensing an impending upheaval in the Three Realms. And the catalyst for this upheaval is you, the Heaven-Sent, who’ve grown stronger, likely bringing monumental shifts to the realm’s power dynamics, rivaling even the passing of a Divine King. Presently, the God of Time is diligently probing future timelines, seeking clues for a new generation of Divine King. Yet another rumor circulates in the Heaven Realm—according to the Temple of Fate’s ’Book of Fate,’ there’s no record of a new Divine King, suggesting that one might not emerge. No one knows what the future holds for the Three Realms. Amid this intricate situation, the ambitious make their moves, with the Barbaric God as a representative figure, as he fervently scrambles for power, already rallying numerous gods and demons to his cause."

"Does that mean no one can stop the Barbaric God now?" Huang Yi furrowed his brows deeply. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Obert nodded helplessly: "Currently, it’s indeed so. The Barbaric God’s bloodline as a Son of God is too powerful; in terms of true suppression, only a few Supreme Gods could contend with him. But the God of Space remains indifferent; the God of Time is wholly absorbed in peeking into the river of time, and the God of Life, who loves peace and leisure, seldom meddles in the affairs of the Heaven Realm. Besides these three Supreme Gods, other gods and demons, like the God of Destiny and long-established Beast God, can’t suppress the Barbaric God. Moreover, the Barbaric God has left a clone in the Mortal Realm, a crucial factor; should that clone and his form merge, his power would escalate further, possibly even beyond the suppression of the three Supreme Gods. Right now, we can only seek to protect ourselves, delay the Barbaric God’s ascendancy, and wait for you Heaven-Sent to enthrone and arrive in the Heaven Realm to find a solution."

Huang Yi pondered silently; it seems the Barbaric God is even more formidable than he anticipated. Since that’s the case, he must eliminate the Barbaric God’s temple clone; otherwise, if it someday returns to the Heaven Realm and merges with the Barbaric God’s form, the Beast God and Forest Goddess would face a major crisis. The Nefalem born from the union of the Beast God and Forest Goddess is the sole bloodline that surpasses that of the Son of God, such as the Barbaric God. Last time, the Barbaric God vowed to slay the Beast God to establish his prestige, unify the entire Heaven Realm, and revamp the Heavenly Order, becoming the new ruler.

Luckily, Huang Yi had a contingency plan; he recently transformed the Barbarian God Simulacrum into a Blue Elf appearance, which was then consumed by the Barbaric God’s clone. Now the Barbarian God Simulacrum is like a time bomb, lurking within the Barbaric God’s clone, poised to play a significant role in the future.

"We need some time before we can enthrone and reach the Heaven Realm; do you have any means to buy time?" Huang Yi inquired.

Obert stared at Huang Yi, saying, "We do have a method to delay the time, but it all depends on you. You should have obtained the Artifact Spirit of the Reaper’s Scythe by now, yet you haven’t merged it with the scythe itself to unlock its full potential. The scythe is housed in the Hall of Extinction; if you can fuse the Artifact Spirit with the scythe, it would become the strategic Divine Artifact of the Dead Star, amplifying the formation’s defenses by tenfold, thereby withstanding the Barbaric God’s destruction."
