After hearing Evan Chu's account, Yvonne Xuan was at least as shocked as he was—if not more.
"So everything—the whole mess—was set up by the Spirit Lord over a hundred thousand years? And you actually lost to him twice, completely? But now, even though your physical body is destroyed, your power has actually increased.
Plus, rebuilding your body shouldn't be that hard for you, right?"
"I think so too. By the way, since I've been gone, what's the situation right now in the God Realm, Netherworld, and Demonic Realm?"
"Not looking good!"
After a moment's thought, Yvonne Xuan spat out those four words.
Then Yvonne Xuan told Evan Chu everything she knew about the chaos rocking the Three Realms.
"According to the intel, the 'empty city' phenomenon in the God Realm has already spread to about forty percent of its territory. And it's confirmed that in every single empty city, aside from a handful of top experts, everyone else has been slaughtered!"
Hearing this, Evan Chu's heart jolted—he couldn't help but recall what Galen Sharpe told him: the power maintaining the Spirit Lord's illusion-array Space Domain doesn't come from the Spirit Lord himself, but is literally fueled by human lives!
This kind of method shouldn't even exist in the Three Realms, but the Spirit Lord has mastered it—so it has to be some kind of blood sacrifice, something truly cruel.
Yvonne Xuan paused for a moment, then went on: "Over in the Netherworld, after Chase Chu stabilized things, chaos erupted again. Now it's a brutal civil war—tons of new rebels have popped up, and both Princess Serena Hua and Chase are scrambling just to hold on. If something happens here at the Divine Palace, there's no way they can spare anyone to help."
Also, the Divine-Beast Enclave is in chaos too—there's fighting nonstop. Roxanne Lin is leading the beast royal clans against the traitors subverted by Lord Shadowdrake's line. We've sent support several times, but it's only been a stalemate!
As for the Demonic Realm... it's eerily quiet. No news at all—everyone we've sent to investigate just disappeared. It's like they're deliberately sealing off all information about what's happening inside.
Hearing this, Evan Chu instinctively understood: Supreme Titus must be about to resurrect! This kind of power and means—Wotan could never pull it off. Only Supreme Titus, reborn and at his absolute peak, could be this terrifying!
"In that case, I can't waste any more time. I have to hurry and rebuild my body!"
Evan Chu took a deep breath. Meanwhile, under the skies of the Demonic Realm...
Demon Emperor Titus felt the power surging inside him. He glanced at the fake Princess Serena, who'd helped him resurrect, and put away his freshly bloodstained Primeval Halberd. Just half a stick of incense ago, he'd personally decapitated Wotan—and the whole thing took just... an instant!
Right now, Titus was listening to the fake Princess Serena's report—all about Evan Chu's rise, his feats in the God Realm, and how both Lord Frostbane and the Primordial Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon chose the same reincarnation vessel.
After hearing all this, Titus closed his eyes to ponder—then suddenly opened them and stared straight toward the God Realm.
"So, you're the biggest obstacle to me ruling the Three Realms in this life! Fine—let's bring our showdown forward! Demonic Realm, hear my command: gather the armies and attack the God Realm immediately!"
"Yes! My Emperor!"
...
Ten days later, in the Chaos World, Evan Chu's God Infant sat cross-legged, his soul flickering. The nine elements had just converged, golden blood had just condensed, but just as bones were forming and flesh appeared—boom!
With a loud explosion, Evan Chu failed once again.
This was his fourteenth failed attempt to rebuild his body. "Why? Why is this happening! I've rebuilt my body before, and this time I have even greater power and more methods—there shouldn't be any problem!"
Evan Chu was utterly bewildered. To test a terrifying suspicion, he found a God King expert in the Frostbane Divine Palace and destroyed his body with a single palm, leaving only the God Infant.
Immediately, Evan Chu mobilized the power of the nine elemental laws and, within three breaths, rebuilt the guard's body—his cultivation even rose by a level.
"So it wasn't a problem with the body-rebuilding process—the real issue was with myself!"
A wave of despair swept over Evan Chu. How could this be? If this happened, it would be an absolute disaster!
"Damn it! Now I finally understand why the Spirit Lord calls himself the Spirit of All Things! He wasn't born a soul-body—he was forced to become one!"
As he said, Space Domain powers don't belong to the Three Realms at all! Now, I'm basically the same—I've comprehended a power that doesn't belong to the Three Realms, yet I can't forge a body in the Three Realms capable of bearing Space Domain power!
Evan Chu didn't know whether mastering Space Domain power was a blessing or a curse. The power to rebuild a body comes from the Three Realms, but Space Domain power clearly surpasses it—so the body can't be rebuilt, and he remains just a God Infant soul. He might as well keep cultivating Ninefold Stellar Transformation, comprehending the power of the stars.
He feared that even after breaking through to the late peak of God Emperor, it would be impossible to fight Supreme Titus and the Spirit Lord again in the future.
The Shadowdrake exists between physical and soul forms—the Spirit Lord must have found a way to temporarily possess a body from him... So how can I forge my own body?
Evan Chu racked his brains but couldn't find a solution. In the end, he summoned Goldwing, Shadow, Jade, Xiaoxiao, Roxanne, and Yvonne—his closest and most trusted companions—to discuss the problem.
Right now, the Netherworld is in total chaos—Blue Shade has rushed in with twenty thousand troops to support, and in the Divine-Beast Enclave, Min and the Sea Dragon Emperor are leading armies from the Sea God's Domain to join the battle.
For a while, Frostbane Divine Palace returned to its earlier state—Evan Chu's loss as a top-tier fighter greatly weakened its power. Now, the most urgent task is to help Evan Chu find a way to rebuild his body, so he can regain peak strength and put an end to the Three Realms war!
But these discussions lasted a full three months, and still no solution was found.
Evan Chu was beside himself with anxiety. He knew time was running out—the Crimson Demon Star would inevitably appear, and the Spirit Lord wouldn't wait for him to recover before attacking. Supreme Titus certainly wouldn't wait either; he would personally lead his army into the God Realm!
As he thought about this, one day, the spatial barrier between the God Realm and Demonic Realm was shattered by Supreme Titus. A massive army from the Demonic Realm poured into the God Realm. With half of Northern God Realm now an empty city and the South sending reinforcements to the Netherworld, the defense was thin.
At that moment, Frostbane Divine Palace's strength seemed incredibly thin, while the Demonic army under Supreme Titus was unstoppable, like a sharp blade thrusting into the heart of Frostbane Divine Palace's territory—Frostbane Divine City!
