Lin Fei soon arrived at the Divine Dream Realm. As expected, the Great Dream Ancestor was within the Divine Dream Realm.

"Master, I have a matter that I do not understand and seek your guidance," Lin Fei said respectfully.

"Oh? What is it?"

"Master, while I was in the Yin-Yang Immortal Domain, I witnessed a blood rain in the sky. I wish to know if this signifies the fall of a Supreme being in our Divine Realm?"

Lin Fei asked straightforwardly.

For a moment, the Great Dream Ancestor fell silent.

Blood rain from the heavens, the fall of a Supreme—one of the ancient legends. Yet, through all these years, there had never been a recorded fall of a Supreme. Thus, it remained unconfirmed.

But now, as blood rained from the heavens, the Supreme Beings were embroiled in a colossal battle with the lords of the Dark Demons, led by the Dark Demon Lord himself. Amid such chaos, it was natural for people's hearts to be unsettled and for rumors to arise.

After a long pause, the Great Dream Ancestor slowly began, "Lin Fei, I shall not conceal it from you. Indeed, a Supreme Being has fallen, but this matter is currently top secret. It is only because my cultivation technique is somewhat unique that I am aware of it. The fallen is the Original Dao Supreme, an ancient and venerable Supreme Being from our Divine Realm. The original Dao Supreme was slain by the Dark Demon Lord using a strange and devastating power.

However, that must have been the Dark Demon Lord's strongest measure and a one-time use at that. Otherwise, why wouldn't he have used such power before, instead of waiting until the end? Even so, the fall of the Original Dao Supreme has profoundly shaken the many Supreme Beings of the Divine Realm. Now, the hearts of the numerous Supreme Beings in the Divine Realm are unsettled.

Numerous Supreme beings yearn to forsake the Divine Realm and seek refuge amidst the chaos for a time. Consequently, they are all striving to suppress the news of the Supreme Being's demise. You must keep this secret closely guarded; revealing it, let alone broadcasting it, could invoke severe punishments from the Supreme beings!"

Lin Fei fell silent.

Indeed, a Supreme had perished. Moreover, it was an ancient Supreme. The fall of the Original Dao Supreme spelled great misfortune for the Divine Realm.

Previously, no Supreme had fallen. The Divine Realm could still somewhat restrain the Supremes with notions of righteousness, urging them to resist the Supremes of the Dark Demon Domain.

After all, the Supremes were immortal. Even in facing the Dark Demon Domain, they would not die. Thus, many Supremes had taken action, engaging in fierce battles with the Supremes of the Dark Demon Domain.

Though the Supremes of the Dark Demon Domain were strong, they truly could not overcome the Supremes of the Divine Realm. At least, they could not kill a Supreme.

With this assurance, the Supremes of the Divine Realm grew more confident. Nor would they consider leaving the Divine Realm. After all, they were still Supremes and had their reputations to consider. Or perhaps, since the Divine Realm was ultimately their homeland, they also wished to protect it.

In any case, the cost would not be great. It was merely a matter of lending a hand, an effortless gesture.

But now, things were different. The Original Dao Supreme had fallen. This meant that continuing the battle against the Dark Demon Domain would exact a grievous toll. It could even lead to death, to ruin!

The price to be paid was too great. The Supremes were no longer immortal. Even if the Divine Realm was invaded. They could always retreat into the Chaos at any moment. Why then should they fight to the death with the Dark Demon Domain?

Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

Once the Supremes had retreated, who else could the Divine Realm rely on to withstand the Dark Demon Domain? By then, the Divine Realm would only be occupied by dark demons. Everyone would either be slaughtered to the last or become slaves to these dark forces.

The Supreme Beings have tightly sealed off any news, fearing it might incite panic.

Lin Fei had come to understand the entire situation. Even now, it seemed there was no news from the Supremes.

Yet, Lin Fei knew. Inside the ranks of the Divine Realm's Supremes, a fierce debate was likely raging. Those advocating for strong resistance faced tremendous pressure. They would do their utmost to persuade some Supremes to stay.

But ultimately, some Supremes would falter, leaving the Divine Realm for the chaos. With every Supreme that departed, the Divine Realm's crucial combat power was further diminished. The current situation was extremely unfavorable for the Divine Realm.

"Master, can the Martial Ancestor enter the Chaos?" Lin Fei suddenly asked.

"The True Immortals, being in harmony with the Divine Realm's Dao, definitely cannot leave. The Martial Ancestor, however, has a certain advantage. If the Supremes are willing to break the channel between the Divine Realm's Laws and Chaos, then the Martial Ancestor could leave.

However, the journey into the chaos would be fraught with difficulties. Moreover, how long the Martial Ancestor could survive in the chaos is unknown to anyone. Maybe a day, maybe three days, perhaps a month.

What's the point then? He is bound to die! Unless a Supreme is willing to take the Martial Ancestor to another realm. Otherwise, the Martial Ancestor, alone in the chaos, is undoubtedly doomed! So, the situation for both our Martial Ancestor and the True Immortals is essentially the same."

"We have no way out!" Lin Fei fell silent.

The Supremes had a way out, but that was just them. Whether it was the True Immortals or the Martial Ancestor, neither had any escape. Once the dark demons occupied the Divine Realm, they would all become prisoners. Or, they might simply be slain by the dark forces.

"Master, is there really no solution for the Divine Realm?" Lin Fei could not help asking.

"Of course, there are solutions, and many Supremes are aware of them. If our Divine Realm were to give birth to a Ruler who could control the entire realm, then exterminating all the dark demons within would be trivial. The Lord of Dark Demons, in the Dark Demon Domain, is such a Ruler. A Ruler, within their own realm, is almost an invincible existence! Yet, among the many Supremes of our Divine Realm, not one is confident they can become a Ruler."

Great Dream Ancestor shook his head slightly. He clearly was not optimistic about the emergence of a Ruler in the Divine Realm.

"Ruler..."

Lin Fei murmured softly, his mind flickering with countless thoughts. For the Divine Realm to birth a Ruler would be exceedingly difficult. Perhaps it might not happen at all. If it were possible, the multitude of Supremes would have already done so. They wouldn't have waited until now.

Since none have emerged yet, the hope of birthing a Ruler during the dark demon invasion is utterly impossible. It's nothing more than a fool's dream.

But, without becoming a Ruler, are they truly incapable of confronting the dark demons? That's not necessarily true!

At least, Lin Fei now knew of a second method. That is, to bring forth a Supreme being capable of sweeping away all peers of the same rank. Even if not a Ruler, being able to sweep through all Supremes, what would the Dark Demon Lord matter? It would still be a dead end for him!

At least, with such an invincible Supreme, the Divine Realm would surely be protected. Either birth a Ruler, or create an invincible Supreme. These are the only two methods that can save the Divine Realm.

Yet, neither approach is simple. Where is this invincible Supreme? Where is this Ruler?

"Master, if you achieved the status of Martial Ancestor, could you sweep away all Supremes and become an invincible one?" Lin Fei asked. He felt that once Great Dream Ancestor's Divine Dream Realm was completed, achieving Supreme status should be no issue. This had always been the direction of the Great Dream Ancestor's cultivation.

Hearing this, Great Dream Ancestor shook his head helplessly: "Although my cultivation way is somewhat special and my power somewhat strange, even if I became a Supreme, at most I would be a rather peculiar and powerful one. Sweeping all Supremes? Or becoming an invincible Supreme? That's simply not possible.

At least, I have never heard of any invincible Supreme. Even the Lord of Dark Demons, despite being powerful, wouldn't be called an invincible Supreme. If many Supremes from my Divine Realm were to besiege him, the Lord of Dark Demons would undoubtedly perish!"

Lin Fei understood. Even someone as powerful as the Lord of Dark Demons, with various aces up his sleeve, still wouldn't qualify as an invincible Supreme. Only within the domain of the Dark Demon Domain, where he is the Ruler, could he be called an invincible Supreme.

In the Chaos or other realms, the Dark Demon Lord is merely stronger than the average Supreme, far from being an invincible one.

"Invincible Supreme. Perhaps, I have a chance..."

A glint of determination sparkled in Lin Fei's eyes.
