Chapter 1658: Double Extortion.
In a normal situation, this situation shouldn't happen. Mother High Heaven was supposed to kill the Will of the Tyrant Realm and absorb what they needed for the realm tree to detach from the law matrix. This would lead to the destruction of the realm and leave nothing for the realm lord's enemies to do.
But Legion has brought the destruction of the Tyrant realm forward, before the death of the Will of the Realm. This would be a good thing if Legion didn't do so while removing a large portion of the law matrix of the Tyrant realm from within, thereby reducing the support of the void universe for it. This created the opportunity for the enemies of the realm lord to interfere.
Tssandulighafan is very strong, that's why he was the first to break through the barrier. The barrier might be weak, but the protection is still there, so there is a backlash to the world gods that attempt to break it.
Tssandulighafan could bear a higher amount of backlash than the others, so he was the first to enter. The second world god to gain entry did so as the realm lord was handing over a world seed and world engine.
A white eye with rings around their pupil appeared in the encrypted space. It looked around curiously and said, "Looks like I am not late."
The realm lord sighed and said, "Let's not waste time. Let me know what you want quickly."
The first sage said out loud instead of speaking covertly, "I want what the first guy asked for and more. I won't join in the upcoming fight if you give me the data you have collected on cosmic source."
Monarch High Heaven's face twitched. He almost lost his composure. He said, "Good, good. You have taken advantage of me today. It is not your fault."
The first sage agreed. "I am very lucky indeed."
Information about Cosmic sources is many times more valuable than a realm heart. After all, fragments of a realm heart can only make one become a world god. A cosmic source, on the other hand, is something that all world gods chase after. In fact, a cosmic source is more powerful and important than the Authority of the void universe.
The information doesn't mean that the first sage will be able to get the cosmic source, but it will increase his chances of doing so. Considering that knowledge is power and the first sage is someone who thrives on knowledge, then this information will be very useful to him.
So one can imagine just how pissed the realm lord is. But he got more pissed when he heard what Tssandulighafan said next.
Tssandulighafan said, "I also want information about Cosmic sources."
The realm lord asked, "Don't you already have a lot from the dragon king?"
Tssandulighafan replied with increased smugness, "I do, but I also want yours."
He doesn't need the information, and he never had any inclination for it until he heard the first sage ask for it. It was also then that he decided to use the information to humiliate the realm lord even more.
"Fine."
The realm lord would like to believe that it was a coincidence that the first sage made his request out loud for Tssandulighafan to hear, but he is not naïve enough to believe that. In fact, he is willing to believe that this whole situation was somehow orchestrated by the first sage.
The realm lord gave them what they wanted, so they left. He had to give them just for the reason that they were able to bear so much backlash. It indicates their strength and how serious it would be if they interfered in the upcoming fight.
Fortunately, he is not so helpless. He has already made some contracts with many world gods since the beginning of the era of conquest. They have to help him until the era of conquest ends, so they will fight for him in this battle.
It didn't take long for the battle to start. The protection of the void universe gave way before the realm was destroyed. This gave all the world gods that wanted to take advantage of the situation for the benefits or the hatred of the realm lord the opportunity to enter the Tyrant realm.
This kind of opportunity is rare and short. The realm needed to be too weak to stop them, yet not completely defeated. These world gods wanted to use the opportunity to steal the realm heart before Mother High Heaven could take it for herself.
They were stopped by the world gods defending the barricade of the Tyrant realm. The clash between the two sides was so great that it further accelerated the destruction of the realm.
The two sides were fighting for different things and had different goals to achieve victory. The defenders were fighting not to kill. They were fighting to delay the enemies and push them away from the Tyrant realm. They were also trying to destroy the Tyrant realm so that the era of conquest would end sooner.
The enemies were fighting to steal the realm heart. They were doing this by stopping the defenders from destroying the Tyrant realm while simultaneously trying to enter it to steal its heart.
It was a true ruckus. The two sides were in a stalemate, but all their fighting sped up the rate of destruction of the Tyrant realm. This tilted the victory to the side of the realm lord and his defenders.
The fight eventually ended. It ended with the High Heaven Realm gaining another realm heart. It was a complete realm heart too. One of a kind.
The Will of the void universe, who was overseeing the realm war, silently withdrew from the affairs of the two realms.
But it did say something to Mother High Heaven. It said, "I wish you good luck. You will need
it."
The realm lord didn't care about the ominous words. He was too happy to care, and he also had something else to do before he could call the era of conquest a complete success.
