Chaos Heavenly Emperor Art

"Thank you very much, Lord Longfei!"

Hawkins cheerfully took out several maps of the interior of the winding star path. "These maps were drawn by me with a lot of effort. Each one will only cost 20 Fangus Crystals."

Ling Feng knew that this unscrupulous merchant must have overstated the price, but he was too lazy to haggle. There were five maps in total, and Ling Feng took out one hundred Fangus crystals without blinking and handed them to Hawkins.

"Lord Longfei, you are truly a straightforward person!"

Ling Feng's generosity made Hawkins a little embarrassed, so he took out an extra booklet and handed it to Ling Feng, "Lord Long Fei, these are some special treasures from the treasure competition three days from now. Take a look and see if there's anything you want. I can talk to the sellers privately for you."

"Thank you in that case."

Ling Feng accepted the booklet. Although he was confident in his current financial resources, he thought that if he could complete the transaction privately, it would save him from being too conspicuous and becoming the target of public criticism.

"correct……"

While flipping through the booklet, Ling Feng casually asked, "Old Jin, what are your plans for this roundabout star route?"

Hawkins chuckled. "Speaking of which, I'm also planning to take this opportunity to venture into the circuitous star path and see if I can find any treasures..."

"Since Lao Jin also plans to enter the circuitous star path, how about we travel together?"

"This one……"

Hawkins, seeing Ling Feng's gaze, quickly smiled and said, "Lord Long Fei, I am flattered by your high regard for me. However, I already have several regular companions. If you are interested, I will discuss it with my companions when I return..."

What a cunning and shrewd businessman!
Ling Feng raised an eyebrow. He invited Hawkins to explore the circuitous star path together because he wanted to find an opportunity to use memory reading on Hawkins during the exploration to see if he could get some information about Yu Bingqing.

I didn't expect this old guy to be so wary of me.

This person is indeed quite capable to thrive in the Silent Realm with only the level of a third-level divine official.

"Okay!"

Ling Feng smiled and said, "Then I'll wait for your good news, Lao Jin. This is my first time entering the Detour Star Road. If I have a reliable teammate like you, Lao Jin, I'll definitely avoid a lot of detours."

"Heh...hehe...then I'll definitely discuss it with the others!"

Hawkins forced a smile. He had originally intended to use his teammates to make Ling Feng back down, but he didn't expect this guy to actually take advantage of the situation.

However, given that the other party possesses the strength of a first-level deity, joining his team would be a great help.

……

Meanwhile, at the Starry Sky Temple.

Sariel leaned back on the throne, his heterochromatic eyes fixed on a crystal sphere in his palm that was constantly changing star patterns.

As the goddess of the stars, her power originates from the starry sky.

Observing the evolution of the starry sky is also a way for her to comprehend the origin of the divine authority over the starry sky.

"Sariel!"

A clear, slightly irritated female voice broke the silence.

The starlight curtain at the palace entrance parted like ripples on water, and then a woman dressed in a moon-white robe and wearing an olive branch crown walked in gracefully.

The woman was stunningly beautiful and had an ethereal air about her, but a lingering melancholy hung between her brows.

The newcomer was none other than Freya, the fifth goddess of wisdom.

"You seem to have nothing better to do!"

Freya walked straight to the throne, sat down without any ceremony, rubbed her temples, and muttered under her breath, "I've been soaking in that cesspool in the bottom city for a month! I'm going crazy!"

Sariel put away the Starry Sky Orb and, hearing Freya's complaint, couldn't help but laugh, "What's wrong? Did something not go well?"

"It's more than just unsuccessful!"

Freya glared at Sariel, her cheeks puffed out. "You have no idea how well those rats in the Chaos Temple have hidden themselves! We finally managed to pinpoint a few strongholds, only to find they were either empty shells or traps! The Northern Underworld Military Academy even lost three elite squads without getting a single thing!"

She grew angrier as she spoke, grabbing Sariel's arm and shaking it violently while cursing, "Those filthy bugs are like cockroaches in a sewer! You can't kill them all, you can't catch them! What's worse, they always seem to know my route in advance!"

"Alright, alright, my goddess of wisdom, this exasperated look isn't like you at all!"

Sariel shook his head and smiled, his starry eyes flashing slightly: "I didn't expect that even with the God of Destiny leading the team, we still couldn't capture that heretical evil god!"

"That guy now calls himself the Lord of Chaos, and he's incredibly arrogant!"

Freya huffed, "And those evil gods under his command are all old evil gods from the Hesitant Street lineage. They were already a headache when they were in the upper city, and now that they've hidden in the lower city, it's like rats crawling into a stinking ditch! And those guys' methods are really..."

"Completely inhumane!"

Freya cursed, "All the henchmen we captured have had their souls placed under the most vicious restrictions! The slightest touch to their core memories will cause them to be annihilated! In the past month, apart from eliminating some henchmen, we've gained almost nothing! It's infuriating!"

"Then why are you back?"

Sariel found Freya's sullen expression amusing; who would have thought the goddess of wisdom would have such a side?

(PS: As we all know, the goddess of wisdom has no wisdom~)

"I'm going crazy if they don't come back soon!"

Freya waved her hand irritably, "That godforsaken place, Bottom City, I feel like my divine authority will be corrupted if I stay there even for one more day! And—"

She abruptly changed the subject, a glint of shrewdness flashing in her eyes: "The Detour Star Path is about to open! I must gather the half of the 'Slab of Truth' that I found near the North Star ten years ago! Sariel, you absolutely have to help me this time!"

Sariel's gaze narrowed slightly. "So it's time for the Detour Star Path to open again!"

"Yes!"

Freya said with certainty, "Otherwise, the God of Destiny wouldn't have let me come back! But the North Star is already deep in the winding star path, a place full of star traps and 'Star Guardians' wandering around. I can't handle it by myself!"

She grasped Sariel's wrist, a hint of pleading in her voice: "You are the Goddess of the Stars. Within the Star Path, your power is not only unrestricted, but can even be amplified to a certain extent. Sariel, you must help me! As long as I gather two Tablets of Truth, my authority as a goddess of wisdom can advance even further!"

Seeing the urgency in Freya's eyes, Sariel smiled slightly and said, "Alright, of course I'll help my good sister!"

"That's great!" Freya cheered, gripping Sariel's hand tightly.

"Let's invite Liyue along this time."

With a light tap of her fingertips, Sariel's phantom image of Ryuzawa Riyue appeared in the starry sky. "She has only recently obtained the Amaterasu divine office. If she can obtain another opportunity within the winding star path, she should be able to quickly increase the degree of fusion of the original divine office to over 95%."

"Liyue!"

Freya nodded. "During this time, although I was in the bottom city, I heard about the change of Amaterasu's priesthood. I didn't expect Liyue to still come back from the bottom city. But Shuichi is, after all, her brother..."

Sariel immediately revealed that Ryuzawa Shuichi had murdered his grandfather and seized the position of Amaterasu, at which point Freya frowned and scolded, "That Ryuzawa Shuichi, I really misjudged him!"

"He ultimately chose to commit suicide..."

Sariel sighed softly, "Forget it, let's not talk about this person anymore. The Detour Star Path is about to open. Let's go and discuss it with Liyue. Whether she's willing to go or not is still uncertain!"

"Uh-huh!"

...“A circuitous star path?”

Upon hearing what the goddesses Sariel and Freya said, Ryuzawa Riyue's eyelids twitched slightly. After a moment of contemplation, she nodded.

"Alright!"

She took a deep breath and slowly said, "I've been in seclusion at the Amaterasu Temple recently, and I've reached a bottleneck. I've heard Grandpa mention the Detour Star Path before; it does indeed offer many opportunities. Since you two elder sisters think so highly of me, I'm willing to explore the Detour Star Path with you. However..."

As she spoke, Ling Feng's image flashed through her mind, and she added, "I really want to invite another person, but I don't know..."

"You mean Long Fei?"

Sariel smiled. "With his strength, although he is currently only a seatless god, he is indeed qualified to join forces with us! I agree to let him join!"

"Long Fei? Who is Long Fei?"

Freya, on the other hand, looked completely bewildered.

"A companion I met when I was exiled to the bottom city."

Ryuzawa Riyue shrugged. "If it weren't for his help, I probably wouldn't have been able to reclaim Amaterasu's divine position."

"So, he's an interesting fellow!" Freya's eyes lit up.

“With his strength, he is no less than Ryuzawa Shuichi,” Sariel added.

"So strong? That's really strange!"

Freya frowned. "There was this guy who called himself the Lord of Chaos before, and he even defeated Michael. Now there's this Long Fei who's comparable to a God Throne expert! How come so many monsters have suddenly appeared in this bottom city!"

She paused, then continued, "If it weren't for the God of Destiny's deduction that the Chaos Ruler was hiding in the bottom city, I would have suspected that Long Fei was the Chaos Ruler himself!"

"Hehe... Goddess of Wisdom is joking."

Ryuzawa Riyue gave an awkward smile. Yes, these two are indeed the same person!

It seems that the "Chaos Ruler" predicted by the God of Fate should be the "Inner Demon" that Ling Feng separated from his body.

The inner demon itself originated from Ling Feng; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were one.

Unexpectedly, this accidental turn of events drew everyone's attention to the bottom city, causing them to overlook Ling Feng's audacity in infiltrating the Sky Zone.

"Of course I know!"

Freya pouted. "I was just saying. No one can escape the eyes of the Goddess of Wisdom. That coward, the Chaos Overlord, only dares to hide in the bottom city. Even if he had a hundred times the courage, he wouldn't dare to come to our Tribunal's headquarters!"

"That's natural."

Long Ze Liyue narrowed her eyes and smiled. Sure enough, the most dangerous place is the safest place.

However, two months have passed, and it's unknown how Ling Feng is doing now.

Thinking of this, Long Ze Liyue quickly said, "Then let's not delay and go ask him if he also intends to explore the circuitous star path."

"Should the three of us, powerful beings at the Divine Throne level, go to him ourselves?"

Freya frowned slightly. "Is this really necessary? We could have just had him summoned here!"

Sariel shook her head. "Freya, we're the ones who need an assistant right now, not the other way around. It's only right and proper that we make the trip ourselves. Besides, don't forget, this trip was originally for you to obtain the Tablet of Truth..."

"Okay, okay, I'll go!"

Freya pouted, "I want to see what that kid has that makes you two treat him so politely!"

……

The next day, when three beams of divine light pierced the sky above the Wuzuo Jingyu (Silent Domain), the entire Wuzuo Jingyu erupted in excitement.

"It's the Twelve Divine Thrones!"

"The goddess of the stars! The goddess of wisdom! And... that one who seems to be the newly crowned goddess Amaterasu!"

"The three divine thrones have simultaneously descended upon the Silent Realm of No Thrones?"

Instantly, countless clergy rushed out from their respective temples, gazing up at the three beams of divine light that shone like shooting stars.

The lower-ranking clergy in the outer ring area were trembling with excitement. A powerful god-level figure who was usually high and mighty would actually come to this "no-seat" place!
Where the divine light swept across, ripples spread through the space.

Even the usually arrogant first-level clergy of the core area showed up, their eyes gleaming with longing.

"I understand now. The three goddesses must have come for the Detour Star Path! With the Detour Star Path about to open, they probably want to choose a powerful opponent!"

Baroque number 15 stood atop his palace, his long, crimson hair like burning flames.

He stared intently at the crimson-gold light, his eyes filled with fervor: "If I could gain the goddess's favor, we could explore the starry path together..."

"Stop dreaming."

Cassius, number 12, sneered, "The arrival of three powerful figures from the God Throne suggests they have ambitious plans. Perhaps only those in the top ten of the rankings are qualified to present such a thing to their teammates!"

Baroque clenched his fists. Although he was reluctant to admit it, Cassius's words did make sense.

While the serial number doesn't represent a ranking of strength, the earlier a clergy member enters the Silent Realm, the longer they can cultivate there.

Everyone here is a first-level divine official, and the accumulation of knowledge and experience largely represents strength.

"uh-huh!"

At this moment, even the top ten first-level clergy appeared one after another, hovering in front of their palaces, waiting for the goddess to descend upon their palaces.

This is an unparalleled honor!

Just as everyone was speculating, the three beams of divine light suddenly changed direction and flew straight towards the edge of the core area.

"Which direction is that?"

"Wait a minute, isn't that area number twenty-something? Aren't they looking for those guys in the top ten?"

"Wait! They've landed, and that place looks like..."

"Number 27? Isn't that the temple of the new guy, Long Fei?"

Astonished whispers echoed throughout the core area.

Serik stood with his mouth agape in front of Hall 21, the wine jar in his hand falling to the ground with a "thud".

Thinking back to how he had boasted just a few months ago that he would introduce Sariel to "Long Fei," now Sariel had arrived and even took the initiative to visit Long Fei!
Not only Sariel, but also two other goddesses!
Especially Freya, the goddess of wisdom, is absolutely the most beautiful woman in the entire Judgment Council!
Those top ten powerhouses stood dumbfounded in front of their doors, casting surprised glances at them.

How is this going?

They all initially thought they were the "lucky one," but...

The next moment, three beams of divine light fell like meteors, landing precisely in front of the gate of Hall 27. (End of Chapter)
