Chapter 360 -360-An Existence Even Eternal Forefathers Dare Not Provoke
Eternal Sage.
A supreme-grade existence that stood above T9 Oracle-grade.
They could freely shuttle through various nodes of the Time River, even leap beyond the long river itself and stand above the passage of time. They could also open up an entirely new universe through their own power.
To them, tampering with the constant Laws of a universe was nothing more than an ordinary method.
Usually, once an existence stepped into the realm of eternity, they would not linger in the Endless Starsea for long.
They would set out for the deepest reaches of the Chaos Starsea.
According to legend, there was a broader and more mysterious world there, a place only Eternal Sages were qualified to enter.
Only extremely fortunate T9 Oracle-grade beings who obtained great opportunities would have the chance to glimpse its true appearance.
Generally speaking, Eternal Sages would not spend long years in the Endless Starsea unless there was some matter of utmost importance that required them to handle it personally.
However, they also would not completely cut off their connection with the Endless Starsea. More or less, they would leave behind certain methods of contact, and such means were usually reserved for the forces of their respective homelands.
Yet the Chaosverse was a newborn universe.
Aside from native races, most members of the Order Faction were major races that had migrated here from other universes.
If those major races had Eternal Sages backing them, why would they have needed to migrate their entire race?
Thinking of this, the Oracle-grade beings of the Order Faction looked at one another.
For a moment, they actually could not find any way to contact an Eternal Sage.
"We cannot find one, but those old fellows on the Chaos Faction’s side may very well have a way to find an Eternal Sage."
One T9 Oracle-grade spoke.
"Whether we need to contact the manipulator behind the scenes or seek help from another Eternal Sage, this is still a path."
"That existence behind the scenes has already broken the rules. Presumably, other Eternal Sages will step in... to restore order."
...
The Chaosverse, Chaos Faction.
Several T9 Oracle-grade beings gathered together, their expressions as ugly as if they had swallowed flies alive.
The Laws of the Chaosverse had been sealed by three layers of lockdown.
This was practically an apocalyptic disaster.
Clearly, an Eternal Sage intended to make a move against the Chaosverse.
"We are devouring the Chaosverse by order of our Eternal Forefathers. Now that another Eternal Sage has interfered, we only need to report this matter upward. Perhaps this deathtrap can be easily broken."
One T9 Oracle-grade spoke in a resentful tone.
"That supreme-grade existence behind the scenes is far too tyrannical! If they wanted to fight for this territory, they should have at least sent a word first. To strike without any warning like this is simply disgusting—as though they regard us as ants, unworthy even of being informed!"
"You’re finished."
Another T9 Oracle-grade lowered his voice to an extreme degree.
"You mentioned something you should not have mentioned."
He did not dare to say it more clearly. He only swept the corner of his eye across the void, as though there was an eye there coldly watching them.
The furious Oracle-grade immediately turned as pale as paper. Cold sweat dripped from his temples onto his clothes.
It was over!
He had lost control of his tongue in a moment of anger!
Even if the outline of such an existence merely flashed through one’s mind, the other party would instantly perceive everything.
It was like raising a torch before a clear mirror.
There was nowhere to hide.
"Pfft—!"
Suddenly, that T9 Oracle-grade spat out blood.
His expression instantly wilted, as though his spine had been pulled out.
The other two T9 Oracle-grade beings looked at each other in horror, their pupils filled with fear.
As expected, that existence had noticed him!
There was no need to descend.
No need for words.
Just a single thought was enough to make a T9 Oracle-grade suffer as if struck by lightning.
The Oracle-grade who had spat blood wore a miserable expression, weak like a candle flickering in the wind.
"Your Excellency... please forgive me."
"I was reckless with my words. I was foolish and ignorant!"
The other two great Oracle-grade beings tacitly even slowed their breathing on purpose.
It was as though the entire universe had become that existence’s ear, and any trace of noise might invite catastrophe.
Fortunately, that terrifying Strength did not continue descending.
"Good thing I have a supreme treasure protecting me. Otherwise, I would have definitely suffered severe damage."
The injured Oracle-grade’s eyes were filled with lingering fear, and he let out a long breath.
"That existence shattered my Origin with will alone. If this ancestral treasure had not blocked most of the might for me, I might already have become crippled by now."
The T9 Oracle-grade beings looked at one another.
They themselves possessed similar abilities.
Whenever a living being called their name or had thoughts related to them, they could sense it along that thread of causality.
They could even rely on that sensation alone to erase that living being from afar!
This was the terror of a great Oracle-grade being, like every tremor on a spider’s sensing web.
And when the prey faced an Eternal Sage, every strand of that web was soaked in deadly poison!
"In the current situation, we should go find our Forefathers first and see what they decide."
One Oracle-grade said in a low voice, his gaze filled with caution.
"Agreed. Contact the Forefathers first."
The other two spoke with a humility that was almost pleading.
The powerhouses of the Chaos Faction were all great forces that had invaded from other universes to seize territory.
Behind them, there were even shadows of Eternal Sages. This was also the confidence that allowed them to dare launch expeditions into foreign universes.
They were like a group of young beasts relying on the giant dragons behind them, and only because of that did they dare run rampant in an unfamiliar jungle.
Soon, the three T9 Oracle-grade beings each contacted the Forefathers of their own races.
However, not long after, their expressions became even uglier!
"What attitude did your Forefathers have?"
An Oracle-grade asked, his voice tight.
"My Forefather said... even he cannot afford to provoke that existence. He told us to handle it ourselves."
The injured Oracle-grade’s expression was numb.
"What about your side?"
"My clan’s Forefather only said one word."
"What word?"
"Scram!"
The several Oracle-grade beings were completely dumbfounded. They stood frozen in place, like puppets whose souls had been pulled out.
"Sigh—"
The last Oracle-grade let out a long sigh.
"My clan’s Forefather had roughly the same attitude. He told us to handle it ourselves. Even he does not dare provoke that existence!"
Hiss—!
The three T9 Oracle-grade beings stared at one another.
Who exactly was it?
Who possessed such terrifying authority?
Terrifying enough that three Eternal Sages changed color upon hearing of them, almost to the point of urgently wanting to cut ties with them.
This...
The more one thought about it, the more terrifying it became.
"What kind of terrifying existence is this? And what does our Chaosverse even have that is worth such an existence making a move?"
The great Oracle-grade beings looked dispirited, as though they had already seen the end of the world descend.
...
The Astral Realm.
Daniel found a relatively safe place.
"This place is not bad. It is suitable for constructing my sage rank."
"Right now, I have enough Holy Relics and divine energy. Constructing a sage rank will also take quite some time."
He opened the sage rank template, intending to devote himself entirely to it.
In the void, a gray lotus slowly appeared and gently drifted into the supreme sage rank template.
This was that Law Essence!
It was a top-tier Holy Relic most compatible with the sage rank template, as though the two had originally been born from the same root and had only been waiting for this reunion.
Very soon, the Gray Lotus sank into it.
Faint gray light rippled outward like water, gently enveloping the entire sage rank.
That sage rank was like a quiet pond.
The seed of the lotus had already been buried deep within it and was silently growing.
