"Everything is in chaos, everywhere is in chaos!"

This was the first thing Chen Xiang heard when he arrived at the ancient hall.

He quietly approached the high-backed bronze throne and slowly took a seat. The prophet beside him looked unusually grave:

"In less than a day, the Spirit World has already erupted with over a hundred large-scale energy tides. The Abyssal dimension is in upheaval, the Hell dimension is flickering unpredictably, and the Void is in chaos!"

His voice was hurried:

"The one causing this is not the Old Masters, but the Supreme Greatest One. Apart from the decaying reality, which hasn't suffered much impact, all other extraordinary dimensions and spaces are in turmoil!"

Chen Xiang's eyelids twitched slightly; it seemed that there had been a significant change in the Spirit World and other places.

He continued to listen intently.

The Emperor spoke in a low voice, heavy with concern:

"This is the might of the Greatest One, and also His mercy; only reality remains unscathed!"

After a pause, the Emperor sighed and looked at Chen Xiang:

"Mentor, what do you think about this sudden event?"

Chen Xiang remained silent, mysterious mist flowing around him. After a long time, he finally said:

"The Greatest One has awakened and is showing His glory to the world for the first time. His return is imminent, and the splendor of ancient times is about to bloom."

The First One, who had remained silent, slightly nodded:

"The Mentor is correct; this is a sign of the Greatest One's impending return. But the night before dawn is the darkest, and before the light comes, we may have to endure an unprecedented tragedy!"

As he spoke,

the First One gestured, and various illusory scenes appeared above the round table.

"In the Spirit World, at the same time as one hundred and forty-seven large-scale energy tides were ignited, the various evil gods in the upper layer of the Spirit World began to awaken."

"In the Abyss, while this dimension is descending into chaos, thousands of extraordinary demons are approaching the boundary of reality."

"In Hell, the echoes of the Greatest One have made the Hell dimension intangible, but Hell is also retaliating. The river of the dead that ferries souls has been cut off; starting today, the dead will not go to the afterlife, and souls will linger in reality!"

"In the Void, Void beings are caught in a frenzy, eyeing us covetously."

"In the Dark Dimension, a small portion has been erased, but many dark extraordinary beings are invading reality."

"Origin..."

"Information Sea..."

"Crimson Dimension..."

"Lost Dimension..."

The First One concluded:

"All nine dimensions occupied by the nine outer gods are in turmoil, but they are also fighting back. They are raising their banners and preparing for war; reality is on the brink of collapse!"

Chen Xiang's expression grew extremely solemn; this was the first time he had heard of the concept of the nine dimensions. So the Spirit World was just one of the nine dimensions?

Aren't travelers the masters of the dimensions?

This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.

He refrained from asking foolish questions; mentors must remain mysterious.

The prophet then spoke gravely:

"Fortunately, the **Curse of Emperor Titan** is maintaining the last vestiges of peace, but the curse is slowly being broken..."

After a pause, he seemed to realize something and looked at Chen Xiang:

"Mentor, since you just joined the council, you might not... you shouldn't know too much about it, right?"

The prophet intended to say ‘unknown' but changed it to ‘not too much' out of respect for the mentor's power and mystery.

He couldn't see through this mentor shrouded in mist.

Chen Xiang felt somewhat confused; the Curse of Emperor Titan? My curse?

What on earth is that?

He maintained a calm demeanor as he said:

"I know a little; I'd like to hear more."

The prophet nodded and explained:

"The Greatest One once issued a curse: no ancient gods can enter reality. This is an ironclad rule, a secret. People only believe that the gods withdrew from reality because it is weak and suppresses them, but..." The prophet smiled and continued,

"The real reason is the **Curse of Emperor Titan**, a curse that even outer gods and the Three Pillars fear. Even the Death Titan could only barely descend as a projection after betrayal, and the cost was immense..."

After a pause, he continued:

"Because of this, the gods tirelessly seek **divine descents**, using the divine descent form to drag parts of reality into other dimensions, gradually breaking the curse."

The Emperor then spoke:

"Divine descent creates a vessel in reality where parts of the divine soul or body descend upon it, giving birth to a **forbidden reality** bearing divine rank.

Now, true gods can barely initiate divine descents; when the curse weakens, outer gods will be able to initiate divine descents, and further, if the curse is completely broken..."

He fell silent.

Chen Xiang furrowed his brow, roughly understanding that he had issued a curse preventing ancient gods from descending into reality, and thus the gods were transforming parts of reality into non-reality through divine descent?

The birth of non-reality would lead to the weakening of the curse?

And the definition of ancient gods... probably refers to those deities before the first year of the Divine Calendar?

The Emperor sighed:

"Take the Fallen Nation, for example; it was because a true god close to the level of an outer god conducted a divine descent, becoming the largest **forbidden reality** of the moment, which also caused the Fallen Nation to begin its descent into the Spirit World..."

The First One lightly tapped the table and said earnestly:

"We've digressed... Now, the voice of the Greatest One resonates not only throughout the Great City but also disrupts all dimensions; the projection of the Death Master has also descended... The gods may need to initiate larger-scale divine descents!"

After a pause, he looked at Chen Xiang:

"Mentor, you may not know that the reason why the nine nations and one city define the true gods under the outer gods as evil gods is because of the secret influence of our the Old Council. The goal is to reduce divine descents as much as possible."

The prophet smiled:

"The First One is correct, but it's not entirely our doing. The act of divine descent is indeed no different from that of evil gods. Even..."

His gaze grew profound:

"How are those outer gods not evil gods?"

Chen Xiang listened silently, pondering for a while before finally speaking:

"So what do you all plan to do now?"

The three councilors exchanged glances, and after a moment, the First One considered and spoke softly:

"As of now, reclaiming the altar is the most important thing. Yesterday, two outer divine weapons breached the realm and sealed off the altar; currently, the altar and the outer divine weapons are at a standstill."

After a pause, he continued solemnly:

"The altar is our only channel to communicate with the masters, and it is a crucial beacon for their return; it must not fall into the hands of the outer gods... I called this emergency meeting to seek your assistance."

Chen Xiang remained silent as the Emperor and the prophet exchanged glances.

Moments later, the Emperor asked:

"The Great City is currently under lockdown; what is the situation now?"

"Both the seventh and eighth rings, like the ninth ring, have been completely abandoned. The Great City will not intervene in the divine descent incidents of the outer three rings."

The First One continued methodically:

"Currently, the **Cosmic Silence Bell**, belonging to the Silent Ones, has struck the location of the Masters. The **End of Dimensions Gun** from the travelers has sealed the time-space rift.

It seems that the **Abyssal Void Church** may have a pseudo-god arriving, likely carrying an **Assembly Order**, targeting the **Twilight Relic** and possibly also the **Book of All-Knowledge**... Then there's the **Void Cult**, which is preparing for divine descent."

After a pause, the First One added:

"If that pseudo-god truly descends, I can handle it. I'm currently waiting at the home of the one possessing the **Twilight Relic**, but I cannot interfere with the others... my true identity is too sensitive."

Chen Xiang's eyelids twitched violently, his mind swirling with questions.

Huh?

Huh??

The prophet pondered for a moment and said:

"My true identity is also very sensitive; I cannot leave **White Star Country**."

The Emperor shook his head as well:

"I'm the same; I cannot leave **East Hong Country**. However, I can provide a true divine weapon... But First One, with the **End of Dimensions Gun** sealing things, a mere true divine weapon cannot make an impact."

The First One silently nodded, his expression troubled.

Chen Xiang, coming out of his daze and confusion, looked deeply at the indistinct face of the First One and then spoke:

"I can't personally go to the Great City, but..."

"I can provide an outer divine weapon."
