Chapter 848: Huge Crisis

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The heroes slowly opened their eyes and quickly gathered around, asking with concern, “My lord, do you feel anything unusual? We saw you touch the crystal ball and then stand still.”

At some point, the crystal ball inside the first coffin had already shattered into powder, blown away by the breeze between the branches.

Ji Chen shook his head gently, his eyes filled with complex emotions. He calmed his mind and slowly recounted everything he had just seen.

After listening to his words, the heroes were immediately plunged into shock, struggling to digest this terrifying amount of information. They looked at each other in disbelief.

The Divine Realm, divine spirits, the will of the plane, the plane cycle, conquering planes…

All of this was somewhat beyond their imagination.

Especially the will of the plane and the plane cycle. The countless wars depicted in thick historical books, influencing the main world for hundreds of thousands of years, were actually driven by that invisible and intangible will of the plane, all for the sake of that so-called energy cycle.

And the last piece of news was even more weighty. A powerful conquering plane was coming towards them, attempting to devour the plane they were in.

“This is truly astonishing,” muttered Patheia, her expression shocked. “What would happen if our plane were devoured?”

Alice’s eyes were also filled with myriad thoughts, indicating her inner unrest. “The outcome is predictable. It’s like the cruel law of nature between predators and prey. The one being devoured will become nourishment for the devourer, leading to complete destruction.”

The heroes’ emotions were complicated. Knowing such heavyweight news made the wars between the demons and the orderly camp, the conflicts between orderly divine spirits and dark divine spirits, and the malice and conspiracy of the oceanic divine spirits against the Crown of the Ocean seem somewhat trivial.

After all, the latter only involved the victory or destruction of one side, while the former concerned the safety of the entire plane.

Ji Chen’s expression became firm once again, his tone decisive as he said, “The unsealing of the dark divine spirits is most likely the work of the will of the plane. The descent of the armies of the Divine Realm is also permitted by it. As beings who live and die with this plane, everything the plane consciousness does must be to preserve the plane.

No matter what, since the crisis is imminent, only those with more powerful strength can survive, even rise against the current, and reach the peak of the world, no, the peak of this plane.”

Inspired by his resolute tone, the heroes’ expressions also gradually became determined, echoing in unison.

“Yes!”

“Only by quickly ending the war between the orderly divine spirits and the dark divine spirits can we gather the strength of this plane to the greatest extent possible and jointly resist the invasion of the conquering plane.

Next, I will accelerate your growth rate, allowing you to possess the power to confront those crises on par with divine spirits.”

Ji Chen cast his gaze towards the second coffin.

There, left by two natural deities, was something preserved within the second coffin.

The second coffin had already loosened, and with a gentle lift, its lid was opened.

The two natural deities left behind messages and relics in the form of coffins, perhaps as a way to mourn the passing of their natural lineage, and also to indicate the end of this world.

Upon learning the truth, they didn’t hold much hope for surviving the crisis, yet they still left behind the inheritance of the natural lineage and what they had gained from delving into the void, granting those who knew the truth the power to end it all.

Inside the second coffin, the first thing that floated out were three orbs of authority.

The first was the authority of “Gravity,” ranking as the tenth lesser authority.

The second was the authority of “Gravity,” ranking as the ninth intermediate authority.

Both belonged to the laws of nature, witnessed by the last two natural deities in the holographic image, ranking as the tenth lesser authority and ninth intermediate authority respectively.

These two authorities belonged to the natural lineage, and their effects did not align with Ji Chen’s powers. The existing three authorities, “Thunder,” “Storm,” and “Ocean,” were all capable of merging with the authority of “Ocean” to exert power.

He still maintained the authority of the ocean as his core power.

“The authorities of ‘Gravity’ and ‘Gravity’ have found their places,” Ji Chen said solemnly.

“Elysia, Patheia.”

The two legendary heroes of the Ocean Crown stepped forward, one after the other. “We are here, my lord.”

With a slight movement of his fingers, the authorities of “Gravity” and “Gravity” flew out of the coffin, floating before them.

“The authority of ‘Gravity’ is bestowed upon Patheia. May you overcome the shackles of the earth and soar into the sky with prowess.”

“The authority of ‘Gravity’ is bestowed upon Elysia. May you, as the arrow, use gravity to slay gods.”

The two extraordinary female heroes were first startled, then their eyes showed excitement.

Immediately after, they solemnly saluted and replied, “Yes, we will not disappoint your expectations!”

Ji Chen nodded slightly, indicating for them to begin.

Elysia and Patheia each walked to a sturdy branch and began to absorb and control their newly acquired authorities. Ji Chen then shifted his gaze back to the third orb of authority in the coffin.

A hint of solemnity appeared in his eyes.

The power emitted by this authority far exceeded any authority he had ever seen before. Even the most violent and boundless authority of “Thunder” paled in comparison. However, its power was not purely about destruction and devastation; it was a majestic power that encompassed everything, covering the heavens and the earth.

It seems somewhat familiar with the authority of “Ocean.”

Ji Chen extended his consciousness to investigate.

A hint of surprise appeared on his face.

This is… one of the twelve superior authorities, the authority of “Nature”?

The lowest tier of lesser authorities consisted of one hundred and eight, the intermediate tier had forty-eight, and when it came to superior authorities, there were only twelve.

Superior authorities were the powers of higher gods and were also controlled by the main gods of various divine lineages.

The twelve superior authorities were not ranked, but in terms of operation, inclusiveness, and harmony, the authority of “Nature” was undoubtedly the strongest. It had been possessed by the main gods of the natural lineage for countless years.

Ji Chen thought that after the last divine war, when the main god of the natural lineage fell and was taken over by other divine lineages, he didn’t expect it to still be preserved by the natural lineage and placed within the coffin.

This is probably also because there are no gods managing the entire natural divine realm, and yet it still hasn’t collapsed after floating in the void for so long, maintaining ecological balance.

After all, the domain in which the authority of “Nature” excels is in cycles, operations, and harmonization.

Without hesitation, Ji Chen drew it into the palm of his hand and turned to the heroes on his left and right.

“Protect me. I’m going to absorb this authority.”

The authority of “Nature” is not only a superior authority but also serves a crucial purpose.

That is to control the entire natural divine realm!
