Chapter 711: Shocking News

Hearing Donald’s instructions, both true gods, Charlie and Nozdormu, nodded solemnly. They could easily imagine the impact such news having if it were leaked.
Once the Lord of Dawn learned that his plans had been discovered by outsiders—especially his enemies—he would surely abandon his original plans and change his strategy. Moreover, given the wisdom of that powerful being, he would hardly reveal all his plans to a wicked god like the Merchant and Monster God Animm. What they knew was likely just the tip of the iceberg. The thought of even more terrifying conspiracies lurking behind this filled Charlie and Nozdormu with dread.
Deciding to leave, Donald began cleaning up the battlefield. Instead of searching inside the divine realm, he simply waved his hand to create a new divine realm that covered the barrier previously set up using the high-tier artifact, the Book of Fate. He then retracted the barrier, enveloping Animm’s entire divine realm. Soon, the vast divine realm shrank under the divine light to a mere small shadow.
Next, the Golden Book of Truth appeared before him. A colossal shadow resembling an infinite world absorbed Animm’s divine realm, just as an oyster clings to a rock. Then the shadow vanished, and everything returned to calm.
At the center of the original meteor belt, the ugly realm that resembled a landfill was gone, leaving only vast emptiness. Without its master’s control, and with Donald’s current strength along with the power of the two high-tier artifacts, it was easy for him to take control of this not-so-vast divine realm with weak internal rules.
“Let’s go!”
After finishing these tasks, Donald said without looking back. The three true gods transformed into streams of light and quickly disappeared into the void of the meteor belt.
…
Although the lower realms were separated from the celestial realms by the entire inner realm, making the distance quite far, it wasn’t a long journey for true gods. The three true gods, including Donald, returned to the upper realms in just two days—much faster than they had arrived.
Of course, this was also because they had spent more time searching for their target along the way when coming, while returning, they used the fastest route, naturally returning to the realm of Azeroth quickly.

After returning, the first thing Donald did was gather all members of the Nature Deity pantheon for the second major meeting since the establishment of the Divine Kingdom, held in the lost temple at its core. Once everyone was present, Donald recounted this mission as well as his experiences during his previous exploration in the star realms. Upon hearing these profound secrets, everyone was stunned.

Cezar, the God of Kingship, was the first to recover and spoke in disbelief, “Are you saying that the leader of the Three Glorious Gods, the most powerful supreme god of justice—the Lord of Dawn—is not only a traitor to the ancient Glorious Deity pantheon but also aims to acquire power on par with that of a semi-supreme god? To overthrow the power structure of the Pantheon through conspiracy and seize absolute control?”

Seeing Donald nod solemnly, and noting the serious expressions of the true gods Charles and Nozdormu, who didn’t seem to be pretending, Cezar realized such a serious matter couldn’t possibly be a joke, leaving him even more confused.

“The Lord of Dawn has always been the most formidable enemy of our pantheon. If he gains power surpassing that of other supreme gods and controls most of the voices in the Pantheon, it would be a catastrophic disaster for us Nature Deities. The consequences are obvious! It certainly won’t end peacefully!”

“Moreover, with the Lord of Dawn’s extreme beliefs, he surely won’t tolerate any dissent. Even if we choose to back down, he won’t spare us!”

Donald’s words dispelled everyone’s hopes of a favorable outcome.

Cyril, the God of Adventure and Seafaring, was the first to understand and suddenly laughed loudly, “Since we have no way out, instead of worrying here, we should look for opportunities to undermine the enemy’s plans!”

Kalel, the Magic Sword who had already succeeded in igniting the Divine Flame and become a semi-divine powerhouse, also said cheerfully, “Exactly! Things aren’t yet beyond hope. The Lord of Dawn isn’t yet a being surpassing supreme gods, and there are many gods who oppose him. At least the two supreme gods, Euliana and Eilien, stand firmly by our side, along with His Majesty Ignatius. As long as the Lord of Dawn doesn’t gain overwhelming power over them, we won’t end up like that!”

When he was still a mortal, he dared to confront powerful true gods like the Spider Queen alongside Donald. Now that he has become a demigod, he seems even more fearless. Of course, Carlisle isn’t arrogant enough to think he can rival a being like the Lord of Dawn on his own—he has always had his pride and beliefs. He is confident that he can become a true god and surpass his enemies.

Driven by these two, the tense atmosphere in the Great Temple eased considerably. The other true gods also realized that surrendering to such powerful enemies was impossible and wouldn’t save their lives; their only option was to resist.

When faced with adversity, one must fight back. At worst, they could perish—but to become an immortal true god was already a dream once thought unattainable. If they died in the process, they would do so without regret!

Especially Donald’s two wives and his followers have firmly followed his path from the beginning, refusing to lose hope or confidence just because of the enemy’s strength.

Seeing the confidence of his divine clan members stirred, Donald smiled in satisfaction and said, “Excellent! It seems everyone has great faith in our divine clan. I won’t hide from you—even against a supreme god like the Lord of Dawn, with the power I possess, I can fight head-on. Moreover, the great Lord Ignatius achieved a level just short of that of a supreme god years ago. Even if Ivan manages to catch up later, he still won’t have an overwhelming advantage in the Pantheon. Besides, we have many allies in the neutral faction. Even an absolutely neutral being like Lord Rops of the Underworld would not side with the Lord of Dawn, let alone the two powerful supreme gods of the Dark Realm, who are inherently at odds with the faction of justice!”

These revelations from Donald immediately brought great relief to the members of his divine clan.

Catherine and Cornelia glared at him, reproaching him for not sharing these good news earlier.

In fact, Donald’s actions were also a test and training for his clan members. After this experience, all members of his divine clan became far more determined in both will and belief, and their unity grew even stronger.

This could be considered another benefit brought about by these bad news.
