I stole divine power in Daxia

Chapter 681 The Divine Venerable Discusses the Heavenly Venerable

Even in the Two Realms Village, Phoenix Ancestor, Azure Dragon, Thunder God, and Illusion Master could see that all-encompassing Dharma Image.

When Zhou Tieyi reappeared in the Heavenly Palace as a Celestial Venerable, cracks naturally appeared in the cage of the Two Realms Village.

Azure Dragon was nearly driven mad at this moment, glaring angrily at Phoenix Ancestor and Thunder God beside him, "How could you, a mere wretch, conspire with me!"

Fengzu stared at the towering Dharma image, slightly taken aback, and said in a low voice, "So this is your backup plan..."

His power sensed the boundary of the Two Realms Village, and he suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly, "So it turns out that for the past twenty or thirty years, it wasn't you who trapped us, but we who trapped ourselves."

Thor, on the other hand, was much more composed. He looked at the Azure Dragon and said, "There's no point in saying anything more now. He's been one step ahead of us from the very beginning."

Although the seal on Liangjie Village has loosened, it is still a seal formed by three Quasi-Saints and a Taixu Illusionary Realm. They can break out of this seal, but it will take time.

What we lack most right now is time.

One step at a time, one step at a time.

After they leave the seal, they need to be reborn. This time-consuming process makes it impossible for them to participate in the final battle in the Heavenly Palace. Even if they can have some impact on the battle, they will no longer be able to affect the overall situation.

not to mention……

Thor sighed helplessly. Zhou Tieyi's method of absorbing the executioner's power had truly shocked them!

Zhou Tieyi transformed into myriad gods; his sacred path was the innate divine path, and also the path of all gods.

If the Blood Sea Sovereign can seize the bodies of all spirits through flesh and blood, then Zhou Tieyi can seize the bodies of all gods through divine authority!

Zhou Tieyi has only possessed the body of a first-rank deity who controls the White Tiger Palace, but he may not be unable to possess a god-level deity!
Thor's expression turned serious as he looked at Phoenix Ancestor, "How much power has He stolen from you over the years?"

Zhou Tieyi imprisoned the several deities in the Two Realms Village, but he had been stealing their holy power.

As the sacred power dissipates, divine authority will naturally be stolen as well.

However, this theft was slow, more like robbery. Even when Zhou Tieyi stole the authority of the gods while they were still conscious, he could only start from the periphery and probe towards the center little by little.

Phoenix Ancestor shook his head. "It wasn't in recent years, but back when He established the Great Prosperity of Humanity, He had already begun to steal our authority."

Upon hearing what Fengzu said, Thor's mood also became heavy.

indeed.

At that time, they had not yet become saints, and because of the future goal of the great prosperity of humanity, they all focused their attention on humanity.

He, the Phoenix Ancestor, and the Azure Dragon all correspond to the Green Emperor, the Red Emperor, and the Black Emperor among the Five Emperors.

Their core authority has actually been separated once. Now, Zhou Tieyi, who holds the entire inheritance of humanity, does not need to steal much authority from them. As long as he fully absorbs the authority of the Green Emperor, the Red Emperor, and the Black Emperor, it will be enough to reverse cause and effect!
After all, Zhou Tieyi is the most ancient deity. He occupies the beginning of everything. At this moment, he is the strongest deity. He was the first to complete the resurrection. He is also a foreseeable future deity. He occupies more than half of the world's power and influences future destiny. Even these deities need to bow down and compromise.

In other words, if Zhou Tieyi were truly willing to gamble, theoretically he could possess a deity and completely replace that deity's past, present, and future image!

This is a problem that the gods have never encountered before!
They are not afraid of death, but what is more terrifying than death is that another person can steal your entire image—past, present, and future. At that time, Zhou Tieyi only needs to alter the perceptions of all living beings, making them believe that the Phoenix Ancestor, the Azure Dragon, and the Thunder God are just one of Zhou Tieyi's myriad forms.

Will these deities be able to be resurrected by then?

Or is it that one can never touch the real world again, nor escape this world, and will remain lonely forever in a place that no living being can ever touch?
Even a god as strong-willed as Thor felt a chill when he thought about this ending.

"The covenant of the gods remains in force."

As Fengzu gazed at Zhou Tieyi's increasingly powerful Dharma image in the sky, she spoke.

Although He initially made peace with Zhou Tieyi, under the current circumstances, He needs to unite with other deities to protect Himself.

Thor smiled wryly, "Back then, we attained enlightenment together, but now it seems that only the Heavenly Emperor could slightly stop Him."

This covenant was originally meant to protect the planet from eternal death, but now it is meant to protect them, the gods.

The Azure Dragon also realized how powerful Zhou Tieyi's backup plan was for their divine beings. It said fiercely and fearfully, "Do you two really believe that a single covenant can protect us for eternity?"

Phoenix Ancestor glanced at Azure Dragon and sneered, "You didn't say that when we made our Dragon-Phoenix Alliance!"

Azure Dragon's expression turned gloomy.

There was no shortage of hatred among the various deities.

In the beginning of time, the Phoenix Ancestor, who was of the fire element, and the Azure Dragon, who was of the water element, actually had a period of alliance. However, this alliance ended when the Azure Dragon took the initiative to break it in order to compete for the dominance of the sky. At that time, the Phoenix Clan was massacred in large numbers, forcing the Phoenix Clan to try to create a Phoenix Blood successor in the human race and create the Crimson Emperor to reverse the defeat.

“A covenant certainly cannot protect us for eternity, so the means He has used this time are more of a deterrent, to keep us from causing trouble.”

The storyteller, the Lord of Illusion, walked in from outside. His expression was even more relaxed, and even when he saw the all-encompassing Heavenly Venerable's Dharma form, he did not change much.

"What do you mean?"

The Lord of Illusion chuckled, “Theoretically, He could indeed seize power from one deity after another, but what would be the price? Would He ultimately lose himself because of seizing us? Devouring mortals of the next level and devouring opponents of the same level are two different things. He probably can’t even predict this outcome, so His only purpose is to deter us. After all…”

The Lord of Illusion drew out the last syllable of his name, “Over the years, I have also listened to his lectures and realized that there are vast and infinite universes beyond our own. He must be someone who fell from an outer universe. Only in this way can we explain His origin and strangeness.”

"The endless universe... is indeed more worthy of exploration than our planet."

Fengzu nodded and said.

Although the eight divine beings have ascended to the highest position, their time at the highest position is actually very short. At the end of the ancient era, the eight divine beings ascended to the highest position one after another, but due to the great war between them, they had to recuperate for a hundred years. When they were awakened from their slumber, they faced the great rise of humanity, and one by one, the divine beings were dragged down by the human saints and emperors.

As beings above all living beings, they have only existed for a few hundred years. During these few hundred years, they have been facing various causes and effects, unable to escape them, and have always focused their attention on this planet. But thinking about it from another perspective, if there were a safe way to explore the infinite universe, then everything on this planet would indeed be insignificant.

Even the authority held by other deities is the same, because this authority only applies to the rules of this universe, and once it is seized and the deity leaves this universe, it no longer has any meaning.
