In a certain region of space.
A fragmented area nearly a hundred miles in diameter floated in the void.
On the eastern and western sides of this area, there were more than twenty round passages, each about two meters wide, leading into the depths of space, and above this region, there was a layer of transparent circular barrier.
Outside the barrier, terrifying spatial turbulence and spatial hurricanes raged!
Within this fragmented area of nearly a hundred miles, over a thousand Divine Souls and hundreds of Primordial Spirits were diligently mobilizing the abundant Spiritual Energy gushing from the twenty-some western passages, diligently filling the cracks in the region.
In the central part of the region, thirteen ethereal figures stood in the air, overlooking the entire area.
The thirteen figures, both male and female, though mostly humanoid, had strange and peculiar shapes.
Some had serpent tails, some were shrouded in black robes, others resembled a giant wolf standing upright, and at the center stood an old man with an arrogant expression.
"Hall Master Ye Hehua, is it really necessary to expend so much effort to construct this temporary spatial battlefield? Once the space of the Life Origin Star stabilizes, can't we just attack directly?"
The arrogant old man turned his head to look at the man on his right, speaking softly.
The man wore white robes, resembling those of the Pope of the Holy Court, with a serene expression and a face that was ever-changing between youthful and aged.
This was the Hall Master of the Temple of Light, previously revered as the God by the Holy Court, Ye Hehua!
Ye Hehua glanced at the old man, smiling slightly: "Elder Lu, do not underestimate the martial artists of the Life Origin Star. We all originated from the Life Origin Star, we should know well that on the Life Origin Star, there's never a shortage of resilient martial artists. We've been away for a millennium, who can guarantee that there are no martial artists reaching the spatial limit on the Life Origin Star now, and who can guarantee how many such martial artists there are?"
"Even if that's the case, can't we send people of equal strength to enter the Life Origin Star? There's no need to expend so much effort to establish the battlefield here?" The middle-aged woman on the old man's left asked in confusion, looking at Ye Hehua.
Ye Hehua replied softly: "We all have sects that left sentries behind, but apart from the Yunpiao Sect of Xuanming Hall sending news three years ago, has anyone else received any word?"
The other twelve were taken aback, their expressions subtly changing.
"Hall Master Ye Hehua, hasn't the Holy Court left by your Temple of Light sent any news? Weren't you the first to descend? Could it be that you were wiped out decades ago?" A shrouded figure cloaked in black spoke with schadenfreude.
Ye Hehua gave the black-robed figure a glance, smiling faintly: "No, when the angels descended back then, they still sensed a batch of envoys I left behind, but..."
Switching topics, Ye Hehua casually remarked: "During the last angel descent two years ago, the presence of those envoys vanished along with the angels. The final angel to descend was Gabriel's Primordial Spirit. Though it was just the power of two wings, it was so easily annihilated, only sending back the message of the Holy Court's betrayal, with nothing else sent back. Can you imagine to what extent the martial artists of the Life Origin Star have grown?"
"The young Gabriel? Even his Primordial Spirit at the Unification Realm Peak was annihilated?!" The middle-aged woman's expression shifted, a look of astonishment appearing in her eyes.
Elder Lu's eyes shifted slightly, glancing at a circular passageway in the distance, speaking indifferently: "It seems the martial artists of the Life Origin Star have grown rapidly!"
"Hehe! It's not the martial artists of the Life Origin Star growing fast, it's some people who have cultivated a batch of traitors. Didn't you hear? The Holy Court betrayed us!"
The black-robed shadow taunted: "Ye Hehua, didn't you always claim the loyalty of your Temple of Light was absolute? Does this slap in the face sting? Where can you hide that old face of yours?"
"Lucifer, don't gloat here. The betrayal of the Holy Court is simply because they've long been without sight of me, inevitably straying to see the outside world," Ye Hehua remarked with a light smile, looking at the black-robed shadow: "When I descend, they will naturally return. Yet the Dark Church left by your Dark Hall seems to have been wiped out. When Gabriel's Primordial Spirit descended, not much of the dark force aura was detected."
"Ye Hehua, don't think I don't know..."
Swish!
At this, the black-robed shadow's body shuddered, the hood slipping to reveal a dark and sullen face: "When you left the Life Origin Star, you ordered the destruction of our Dark Church by the Holy Court. If the Dark Church is truly annihilated, then we of the Dark Hall will certainly be the first to declare war on your Temple of Light!"
"Lucifer!"
Elder Lu glanced at Lucifer indifferently, speaking with coldness: "Our main task now is to gain control of the Heavenly Dao of the Life Origin Star. Before that, we cannot have internal conflict!"
The middle-aged woman raised an eyebrow, speaking softly: "I still do not quite understand what the strength of the Life Origin Star's martial artists has to do with us establishing a battlefield here? Even if they do have some standing at the pinnacle of the Life Origin Star, can they surpass our cultivators in numbers?"
"Medusa, do you know why we say to the descending disciples that our aim is for breakthroughs without heavenly tribulations on the Life Origin Star, and the easier comprehension of the Heavenly Dao upon its formation?" Ye Hehua looked at the middle-aged woman with a light smile.
Medusa was slightly stunned, frowning slightly: "Isn't it to mislead them, so that they would quickly initiate the new Heavenly Dao?"
"That's right, yet though the Heavenly Dao of the Life Origin Star has flaws, those won't appear right away when it emerges."
Ye Hehua patiently explained: "This requires the cultivators of the Life Origin Star to grow to a certain level, causing the Heavenly Dao of the Life Origin Star to become overwhelmed and producing visible defects. Only when the defects appear can we seize the opportunity to fill in those gaps, thereby completely controlling the Heavenly Dao of the Life Origin Star!"
"You mean to say..."
Medusa suddenly realized, turning her head, glancing at the busy Divine Souls and Primordial Spirits around, whispering: "Constructing this battlefield is to exert pressure on the martial artists of the Life Origin Star, thereby..."
"Medusa!" Elder Lu interrupted sternly: "Just knowing is enough, no need to say it out loud!"
Medusa's expression shifted slightly, her face darkening: "How many people will die this way? Have any of you considered?"
"As long as we can seize control of the Heavenly Dao of the Life Origin Star, any sacrifice is worthwhile!"
A look of yearning appeared on Ye Hehua's face: "Everyone must resent those self-important beings of the Void Realm, correct? Simply because we are Western cultivators, they ostracized us at every turn, pushing us to the islands at the edge of the continent. Don't you wish to avenge this enmity?"
"Once we control the Heavenly Dao of the Life Origin Star, we can rapidly advance, then... wage a counterattack on the Void Realm, ultimately becoming its overlords! What a wonderful thing that would be!"
Hearing this, everyone's expressions subtly changed, a touch of longing surfacing in their eyes.
Medusa furrowed her brows, a flash of struggle appearing deep in her eyes, eventually turning into deep resignation!
