Chapter 0545: Tianchen Mountain
“Nia, Li Yifeng!” Huang Long was surprised to see Nia and Li Yifeng appear, his face lighting up with joy. Ever since the incident in the Main God Space, Nia and Li Yifeng had gone missing. Later, Huang Long used the method of reversing space flow in that special space and found that Nia was not among the twenty-some Main Gods imprisoned by Mori. Thus, he had been guessing their whereabouts. Unexpectedly, he saw them as soon as they returned.
Besides Nia and Li Yifeng, there were five more Main Gods, with the rest being Nia’s sons and messengers of the Main Gods.
Happy to see Nia and Li Yifeng, Huang Long led everyone into the grand hall.
Once inside, before Huang Long could ask about what had happened, Nia began to recount some of the events that had occurred after the incident in the Main God Space.
At that time, after returning to the Main God Space from the plane battlefield, Nia found himself under attack by several powerful Main Gods. It was only later that he learned these powerful gods had already defected to Mori.
Fortunately, Nia was strong and quick-witted, allowing him to escape. Later, upon hearing that Huang Long was in the Nether Sea, he contacted some former acquaintances among the Main Gods and came to the Nether Sea together.
These Main Gods were in a similar situation to Nia.
However, one of them was unexpected for Huang Long—Life God Tomad. Although Huang Long didn’t know him, he had almost killed his son Qibus on the plane battlefield back then.
Huang Long naturally understood their intention as these five Main Gods came to the Nether Sea to “meet” him. The six of them were there to “defect” to him.
Now that Mori’s forces were powerful, these Main Gods had no choice but to unite for self-protection. The news of his battle against Mori and his victory over him had spread to various divine planes, giving these Main Gods hope. They defected to him, which Huang Long had expected all along.
“Humphert… I can’t reach him. I’m worried,” Nia said with concern. Among the Main Gods, he had the closest relationship with the Thunder God Humphert.
“Humphert is now in Mori’s hands,” Huang Long told Nia.
There was no need to hide this.
Nia wasn’t expecting Huang Long to know that Humphert was in Mori’s grasp. Though he and the five, including Tomad, were surprised, Nia knew Huang Long wouldn’t joke about such a matter.
“If Humphert is in Mori’s hands, then what?” Nia grew anxious. He knew, given Humphert’s temperament, it was impossible for him to defect to Mori. His fate could be imagined.
“What should we do now, Lord Huang Long?” asked Life God Tomad, his expression respectful.
Although they were also Supreme Gods, in front of Huang Long, they dared not address him as “Brother Huang Long” like Nyaa did.
“First, contact the other Supreme Gods!” Huang Long thought for a moment before saying.
At present, Huang Long’s plan was to ally with as many Supreme Gods as possible—after all, having one more “friend” was better than having one less enemy.
Next, while Nyaa and the others contacted the other Supreme Gods, Huang Long also began searching for Susan and the others.
Ten days passed quickly, yet there was still no trace of Susan and the others.
During these ten days, the news of Huang Long killing Bishop spread widely.
Bishop had transformed into a Supreme God, returned to Luning, and tried to kill Luning but was killed by Huang Long. These stories were spread by Luning’s followers, and soon all the powerful gods in the Netherworld knew about it.
“Bishop defected to the Supreme God, but in the end, he still died at the hands of Lord Huang Long!”
“Exactly! Bishop betrayed Luning; dying at Lord Huang Long’s hands is well-deserved!”
“Do you think Mori is really the Supreme God? Then why did he come to our divine realm?!”
As the powerful gods discussed Huang Long killing Bishop, they also speculated about Mori’s identity. After all, no Supreme God had appeared in countless eras, and now one had suddenly appeared and was hostile to Huang Long—no wonder the gods were discussing it.
Of course, a few days earlier, Mori had sent Mists of Fear and Human Monsters to kill the powerful gods in various divine realms, attempting to rule them all. Thus, the powerful gods felt both fear and indignation.
In various divine realms, Mori was seen as a negative figure, while Huang Long was viewed positively. In the eyes of some powerful gods, Huang Long had even become a savior!
Twenty days later, in the Palace of the King of Haicheng…
“I can’t believe Elvis has lured so many Supreme Gods!” Nyaa frowned on the throne.
With the emergence of Mori and Huang Long’s sudden “rise,” a new situation arose among the Supreme Gods, who had previously coexisted peacefully, each ruling their own continent or divine realm.
Now, a triangular power structure was gradually forming among the Supreme Gods: Mori, Elvis, and Huang Long.
Mori was the Supreme God, with over thirty Supreme Gods under his control, and he also held more than twenty Supreme Gods, including Susan, captive. His power was the strongest. Next was Elvis, who had also gathered over thirty Supreme Gods around him. As for Huang Long’s side, despite the efforts of Nyaa and the others, only a dozen or so Supreme Gods had joined him.
Of course, this was just a superficial assessment of power.
Elvis being able to gather over thirty supreme gods in such a short time surprised the Yellow Dragon. The Yellow Dragon said nothing, but he didn’t really take Elvis seriously. For the Yellow Dragon, the greatest threat at the moment was Mori!
“Could it be that Mori came to our intermediate god plane just because of Tianchen Mountain?!” asked Tomad, the God of Life.
The powerful gods from various god planes speculated about the real reason behind Mori’s arrival, and the Yellow Dragon, Nia, and others also guessed.
The Yellow Dragon knew it couldn’t be as simple as Mori coming merely to control the Mist Fiends and human monsters in order to rule this intermediate god plane.
However, after hearing Tomad’s words, the Yellow Dragon became curious and asked, “Tianchen Mountain?!” It was the first time he had heard of it.
Noticing the surprised expressions on Nia and the others, he wondered if Tianchen Mountain was very famous.
“That Tianchen Mountain is a sacred mountain in the Tianchen Dimensional Space,” Nia explained upon seeing the Yellow Dragon’s question. “But it’s very mysterious. Usually, it remains hidden in space-time and does not appear. Since the birth of the god planes, it has only appeared three times in total.”
“Oh, Tianchen Mountain has only appeared three times?!” The Yellow Dragon was intrigued.
This was somewhat similar to the Forgotten Lands of the Netherworld, which opened once per era. But the Yellow Dragon knew the Forgotten Lands opened once per era because of the control of the Chaos Divine Dragon. So what about Tianchen Mountain?
“Yes, and it appears irregularly,” Nia said. “The first time was over seven hundred eras ago, the second time was over three hundred eras ago, and the last time was over a hundred eras ago. Every time, precious treasures emerge from Tianchen Mountain.”
“Precious treasures?” The Yellow Dragon looked at Nia.
Nia became serious. “The supreme artifacts in the hands of our six rulers of the rules were obtained from Tianchen Mountain!”
The Yellow Dragon was stunned. He hadn’t expected that the supreme artifacts in Nia and the others’ hands came from Tianchen Mountain. Earlier, he had wondered why Tomad thought Mori might have come because of Tianchen Mountain. Now he understood. But Mori was a supreme god—even if there were supreme artifacts on Tianchen Mountain, it was unlikely that they would allow him to personally descend to this intermediate god plane!
That reason seemed far-fetched.
“Actually, besides the supreme artifacts, Tianchen Mountain must have other precious treasures as well,” said Demp, the God of Water.
The Yellow Dragon turned to look at him.
Demp continued, “Tianchen Mountain has inner and outer halls. We can only enter the outer hall.”
The Yellow Dragon understood Demp’s meaning. Nia’s supreme artifact came from the outer hall. If that was the case, one could imagine what the inner hall was like.
Huang Long couldn’t help but become interested in Tianchen Mountain. If Mo Li really came for Tianchen Mountain, did that mean its next opening was imminent? Otherwise, it wouldn’t matter if Mo Li came. “Moreover,” Nia added, “we suspect that Tianchen Mountain must have a passage leading to the Chaos Divine Plane.” “A passage to the Chaos Divine Plane?!” Huang Long was astonished, then understood why Nia made such a guess—the Supreme Divine Artifact was crafted by the Supreme God, and it should only exist in the Chaos Divine Plane, so Tianchen Mountain must be related to it. Huang Long fell into deep thought. After a while, he asked Nia and the others more questions about Tianchen Mountain. He learned that only the Supreme God could enter the outer hall of Tianchen Mountain. Although it appeared irregularly, only three times so far, it disappeared after each appearance and would not reappear for a hundred years. “Master!” Just then, Greg came in from outside the main hall and said respectfully, “According to the reports, Patri has appeared in the Plane of the Light Supreme God!” Patri, the Lord of Fire! Initially, when Huang Long used the method of reversing time, he learned that the Lord of Fire, Patri, and the Lord of Earth, Ervi, among other Supreme Gods, had defected to Mo Li. So he ordered Greg and the others to keep an eye on Patri and Ervi’s whereabouts. To his surprise, Patri actually appeared. No matter why Patri appeared in the Plane of the Light Supreme God, Huang Long was delighted upon hearing Greg’s report. He immediately said to Nia, “Nia, I’m going to the Plane of the Light Supreme God now. Wait for my news.” Nia and the others knew Huang Long intended to intercept Patri and rescue Susan, Humphert, and the others. Just as they were about to get up and offer to go with him, a flash of golden light appeared, and Huang Long’s figure vanished. Nia opened her mouth, then shook her head with a smile. Although Huang Long appeared calm on the surface these days, his worries and anxieties couldn’t be hidden from Nia. She knew it was because of Susan! “Lord Nia, what should we do now?” Demp asked. “Let’s wait here,” Nia mused. Huang Long had his reasons for asking everyone to wait for his news. Sometimes, more people didn’t necessarily mean better results. “Lord Nia, do you think Mo Li really came for Tianchen Mountain?” asked one of the Golden Supreme Gods. Nia didn’t respond immediately. In fact, he wasn’t sure either whether Mo Li really came for Tianchen Mountain. But what if he did?! And how did Mo Li come down from the Chaos Divine Plane? Nia fell into deep thought.
