Apotheosis

Livid, Leyton wordlessly stared at the corpse of the female patriarch of the Sun Blind race.

With a sneer showing on his expressionless face, Zavier commented dryly, "Huh. Her method of committing suicide is pretty unique."

Hamish said in all seriousness, "The matriarch has taken her own life, which is equivalent to stopping suppressing the will of the divine land. It seems like she already knew who the successor is!"

The Time Sea and the Time Sea Forbidden Land existed for one reason: to hinder the awakening of the divine land's will.

Chiyou provided the Nine Li race with a ship, the divine land, for them to escape, but they would have been in trouble if the divine land's will had awakened.

The will of a world was usually volatile. All would be well if the will was kind; otherwise, if the will was evil and violent, it could easily kill all the creatures in the divine land.

The mission of the female patriarch of the Sun Blind race was to suppress the divine land's will and keep it in its initial state.

Back then, Nicholas and Hamish had every intention of killing and replacing the female patriarch.

However, the idea was rejected by Leyton.

Leyton was afraid that after the female patriarch's demise, the original will of the divine land would be liberated and have its won consciousness and conscience. By then, the divine land would no longer be under their control. Given that the Yellow Emperor Guards were stronger than the natives of the divine land, they were very likely to become the first targets of the will.

Based on the same reasoning, the matriarch had actively been suppressing the original will of the divine land, while selecting her own target in the process.

In the Time Sea, the members of the Sun Blind race had previously attempted to verify Zen's abilities and potential, but the results they had gathered were inconclusive.

Afterwards, Zen seized the Time Jade Seal from many Holy Beings. Only then did the matriarch realize Zen's massive potential. Even then, she continued observing Zen's progress.

This time, the Mountain of Holy Beings was opened in advance, and the matriarch could finally verify this fact.

At that moment, she knew that her mission was over.

She was even surer that the Yellow Emperor Guards would not just stand by and would definitely attempt to stop her.

So, the matriarch took the most sensible method, which was to kill herself.

As a security measure, she even used the power of the Time Sword of

open, but most warriors camped at the foot of the Mountain of Holy Beings in advance.

"Why did the Mountain of Holy Beings emerge two years in advance?" a woman inquired.

This woman was a consummate True God who led the Wen Clan in a northern region of the divine land.

"Who knows? Anyway, I've been waiting for this day for years! This time, I'm going to lead the Huang Clan to the Time Sea and own a Floating Island there after I become a Holy Being!" another man said with a fierce, determined expression on his face. He was the grand elder of the Huang Clan in a northwest region of the divine land.

"Haha." A scholar-like man dressed in a long robe jeered, "Only three warriors at most are qualified to become Holy Beings when the Mountain of Holy Beings appears each time. Sometimes, only one warrior is given the title. I'm afraid you might even be disqualified to fight." To add insult to injury, he made a small salute toward

the man, who harrumphed in displeasure. "If you're that leery of my strength, maybe we can fight now..."

When these people were gathered together, all kinds of exchanges and arguments were inevitable.

Leland stayed at the edge of the crowd, staring blankly at the Mountain of Holy Beings.

He was not counted among the top Demi-holy Beings, and it was extremely difficult for him to become a Holy Being. Even so, he would not give up this opportunity.

Looking at the Mountain of Holy Beings, he thought of Zen.

Zen was only a consummate True God, but his strength was formidable. He also seemed to carry a deep grudge toward the alliance of powerful clans. 'Will he come this time?' Leland thought to himself.
