Free Web NovelChapter 327: Chapter 48: The Truth of the Beast God Realm and the True Body
As Su Zhou watched, the black Space-Time Passage had indeed turned white. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
The wave-like fluctuations from the other side gradually slowed and calmed until the passage ceased its operation entirely. Its profound, pitch-black depths, once resembling an entrance to a Bottomless Abyss, transformed into a gentle, milky-white curtain of light that rippled as softly as the surface of a well.
That was the current state of the Space-Time Passage that once led to the Beast God Realm—a Space-Time Sect that had almost completely ceased all activity.
Su Zhou couldn’t help but find it amusing. ’Just a moment ago, the Peacock Divine Bird swaggered over with a horde of Evil Beasts, acting like it was about to do something major. But the moment its vanguard was wiped out, they lost their nerve and just... shut the door?’
’It sounded cowardly, but it wasn’t surprising. The Peacock was an Extraordinary High-tier being, after all, likely a top powerhouse in its own land. The other side probably didn’t have anyone else at that level. If I decided to charge through, no one there could have stopped me.’
’So, to avoid a counter-invasion, it was perfectly normal for them in the Beast God Realm to seal the passage themselves.’
Faced with the Artifice Sage’s continuous questions, Su Zhou wasn’t quite sure how to explain. He was just an ordinary young professor, and his descriptive skills weren’t good enough to convey all the details he was observing. ’I really wish I had my phone so I could just send a picture with a few hundred megapixels.’
The Artifice Sage on the other end of the communication was silent for so long that Su Zhou thought the connection had failed. Finally, it spoke slowly, "Understood. Researchers from the Daoist Discipline Bureau will be there shortly to collect data."
Su Zhou nodded and sighed. "In any case, the Space-Time Passage is temporarily sealed, so the Beast God Realm is no longer a threat for now. I don’t know what’s happening on their side, but I doubt it’s peaceful."
In reality, "not peaceful" was an understatement.
"Disaster! A great disaster!"
Panicked cries echoed through the city, where a great fire had even erupted in the center. A massive riot was spreading through the enormous Feather Race Royal City. After fleeing back to the Beast God Realm in disarray, numerous Evil Beasts of the Slave Species and a few from the Combat Species had brought terror, panic, and the news of their king’s death back to their homeland.
"The King has fallen!"
Upon hearing this news, countless Flying Spirit Beasts from the production classes trembled as they barricaded their homes, hoping to protect them from the rioting Spirit Beasts. Meanwhile, inside and outside the city, various combat-class Spirit Beasts who had some inkling of the situation hunkered down with their clans, watching the developing situation with suspicion and uncertainty, desperate to learn the truth. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
Divine Beasts have long lifespans. This generation’s Peacock Divine Bird had been the Feather King for a full two hundred years, making it a rare, long-prospering ruler among the Divine Beasts. Although concepts like classes and titles such as "Divine Beast" and "ruler" were foreign imports brought by the Immortal Gods, unlike the term "human," the Divine Beasts were quite fond of them.
The ruler’s long life had granted the Feathered Race a lasting stability. The Divine Bird Peacock’s power was enough to suppress the other avian Divine Beasts, allowing the race to develop in peace. As a result, the Feathered Race’s territory gradually expanded, and their strength grew.
It was precisely for this reason that the Peacock Divine Bird, feeling it held a great advantage, had the inclination to search ancient texts. It sought the secrets to accessing the outside world and eventually found the ancient ruins not far from the Feather Race Main City, which were said to lead to another world.
Meanwhile, the Divine Beasts of other races often fought over the throne on a decade-by-decade basis. They could hardly rest and recuperate, let alone develop, so they certainly didn’t have the time to notice the unusual activities of the Feathered Race.
The Beast God Realm was home to five types of Spirit Beasts, and the Five Kings of the Five Races were in constant competition. Naturally, the Peacock would not tell its rivals that it had discovered a passage leading from the Beast God Realm to the outside world. Instead, it planned to rely solely on the strength of its own family.
The Peacock was already powerful, but its ultimate goal was to use the resources from the Otherworld to become a powerhouse capable of overwhelming all other beasts, making itself the undisputed lord of the Beast God Realm.
But this time, the plan had failed. When news spread that numerous members of the Slave Species had been used for a blood sacrifice and that the king itself had gone missing and was possibly dead, it instantly stirred ambitions in the hearts of the other Divine Birds within the Feathered Race.
Within a single hour, the Peacock Divine Bird’s direct descendants and Personal Guard frantically sealed the ancient passage to the Otherworld. Then they fled with the previous king’s Bloodline, disappearing to an unknown location. The Beast God Realm had no tradition of a son inheriting the throne from his father. Now that the clan had lost its greatest powerhouse, the first order of business for the young, pure-blooded Peacocks was to go into hiding to grow and develop in secret.
If they didn’t, the other Divine Birds vying for the title of Feather King would surely make an example of them to establish their own dominance.
"Who will be the first to rebel? The Cyan Bird, or the Vermilion Bird?" mused an old Peacock. Despite its age, it had never awakened the Five-Colored Divine Light Divine Techniques. It was currently leading the clan’s pure-blooded Bloodline along a pre-planned escape route into the deep mountains of the Beast God Realm. Standing in a mountain gorge, it gazed from afar at the burning Feather Race Main City, where brilliant flashes of Spiritual Light flared around the perimeter as various Divine Birds clashed for power. It sighed heavily before continuing, "The news of His Majesty’s disappearance and possible death has been out for less than an hour, and the entire Feathered Race is already in such chaos."
