Master Wan's expression was deeply conflicted. Of course, he knew everything Evan Chu had said was true. Right now, Skycloud Palace was far too powerful—almost unstoppable among the Ten Great Powers. The cycle of destruction kept repeating itself, wiping out one faction after another.
At present, only Treasure Pavilion, which keeps itself apart from worldly affairs; the Qin Tian Sword Sect, which has ties to Skycloud Palace; and Stormtower—temporarily protected by Evan Chu—still survive. But even this is just a fleeting illusion.
If Frostbane Divine Palace is founded, Stormtower's protection will be greatly diminished. Frostbane Divine Palace will inevitably wage war across the realm, while Stormtower won't even be able to defend itself!
Master Wan looked at the dozens of God-Venerable experts around him: Black Qilin, Silver Dragon, Fire Dragon, Storm Roc, God Scorpion, Golden-Winged Roc, Chaos Beast Shadow, Wenshan Easton, Meng Tao, Monica... Each of these late-stage, peak God-Venerables could match him in strength!
And now, because of Evan Chu, all of them were about to join Frostbane Divine Palace.
It's easy to see that the future Frostbane Divine Palace will sweep aside everything, rise to the very top, and become the number-one power in the God Realm!
"Ha!" Master Wan let out a helpless laugh. After all, Stormtower was the blood and sweat of so many generations of God Realm powerhouses...
"Evan is thinking about the survival of Stormtower, too. Your suggestion is sound—I have nothing else to say."
"Father?" Lena Zhong stared at Master Wan in disbelief. She'd thought for sure her father would refuse. He'd always been the kind of hero who'd rather break than bend!
"Heh, it's nothing. Just think of it as Ling'er's dowry. I hereby announce: from this day forward, Stormtower is dissolved. Those who wish to follow me and join Frostbane Divine Palace, stay here. Those who don't, take your severance and seek your own path."
Ling'er, pass my order down—no one is to be forced.
For Master Wan to say these words, who knows how much resolve it took? Everyone knew this was the best outcome, but there was still a bittersweet ache in their hearts.
"Let it go. The God Realm today... it's no longer our era!"
Meng Tao patted Master Wan on the shoulder and said.
"Yeah. At least we're still alive."
Evan Chu smiled broadly. "Alright! In that case, from today onward, I'm announcing to the world: I, Evan Chu, will rebuild Frostbane Divine Palace in the God Realm, raise the banner against Skycloud Palace, and kill without mercy anyone who belongs to Skycloud Palace or is in league with them!"
"That's right—no mercy! Kill every last one of those bastards!"
"Those scum must all die, or the God Realm will never know peace!"
On this side, the morale of the gathered experts soared. Evan Chu simply anchored Frostbane Divine Palace at Stormtower, and Stormtower was renamed the Dark-Night Sandstream Group, fully becoming a dedicated assassination and intelligence organization serving Frostbane Divine Palace.
Dark-Night handles assassinations, Sandstream handles intelligence. Inside and out, they work together and quickly take root and flourish.
Ten days later, word spread throughout the God Realm: Frostbane Divine Palace had been rebuilt by Lord Frostbane after his reincarnation. Inside the palace, construction boomed and new halls rose, while many experts arrived, seeking to join.
What surprised Evan Chu was that many of Frostbane Divine Palace's old subordinates came as well—surviving war generals from the old days reappeared in the world!
Inside the Timewheel Bracelet, Evan Chu and the three women—Selena, Lynn Ling, and Serena Frost—were engaged in dual-cultivation, their bodies covered in fragrant sweat. Their cultivation soared, fueled by Chaos Divine Power, seven powerful elements, and God Crystals, all growing madly inside the bracelet.
At this point, even breathing the air inside the bracelet was like receiving a priceless treasure!
"Serena Frost broke through to early God-Venerable Realm, Sel reached late God-Emperor Realm, and Lynn Ling is even scarier—she's now mid-stage God-Venerable. Incredible.
You're now among the ranks of true experts. When Frostbane Divine Palace celebrates, you'll come out with me."
"I always knew you'd shine in the God Realm, but I never imagined it would happen so fast." Lynn Ling still felt like she was dreaming.
"Ha! Evan Chu's miracles don't stop there. Look at those little guys—terrifying and adorable at the same time!"
Ruolan pointed toward the thousand elemental spirit beasts in the distance, all controlled by the Elemental Spirit.
"They're one of my trump cards. Unless things get desperate, I don't plan to reveal them. But at the Frostbane Divine Palace grand ceremony in three months, Skycloud Palace definitely won't let us off easy.
That's when they'll make their debut. I want to use this chance to deal a heavy blow to Skycloud Palace and push my plan for unifying the God Realm forward."
Evan Lin spoke with excitement. Unifying the God Realm—no one had ever achieved such a miracle before!
"Alright, you three head out and get to know Monica and Lena Zhong. Also, keep an eye out for news about Jade and Roxanne Lin. If anyone else ascends to the God Realm and comes to Frostbane Divine Palace, you handle their arrangements."
"What about you?" Serena Frost asked.
"I need to raise my cultivation another step in three months. I also got some new resources from the secret realm. Plus, I've got tons of seven-element energy and plenty of Dark Element Pearls.
All of this can boost my strength in a short time. I'm worried something unexpected might happen at the Frostbane Divine Palace ceremony, and I absolutely won't allow that! But most importantly, after my Godblood Lineage fully awakened, my mind's been a mess. I've been suppressing it this whole time...
I need to go into seclusion and sort it out. If chaos erupts during battle, it'll be a disaster! So while I'm closed off, keep an eye on everything at Frostbane Divine Palace for me."
When Evan Chu finished speaking, the three women were shocked all over again—he was about to break through yet again! Right now, he was mid-stage God-Venerable, already able to slaughter late-stage God-Venerables almost at will.
If he goes further and reaches late-stage God-Venerable, could he even kill terrifying God-Emperor realm experts?
Time slipped by. Evan Lin stayed in seclusion inside the Timewheel Bracelet, while everyone outside worked tirelessly to build the new Frostbane Divine Palace.
During this time, not only did Jade arrive, but even Macy Mei showed up. Jade's three souls and seven spirits merged completely, pushing her cultivation to late-stage, peak God-Venerable Realm—almost ready to break through to the next level. She's far ahead of her brother now.
Jade's strength was expected, but Macy Mei, who had just ascended and hadn't spent as much time here as Lynn Ling and the others, already reached early God-Venerable Realm!
Keep in mind, Lynn Ling, Serena Frost, and Selena had all been staying inside the Timewheel Bracelet!
But no one pressed Macy Mei about her incredible opportunity—it was her own business. Three months passed quickly, and Evan Chu broke through inside the Timewheel Bracelet, evolving once again.
The meteorites he got from the secret realm exploded, and he absorbed all their Stellar Power. Now, he could borrow the power of the fifth Star Mark—far more terrifying than before!
Fireshift, Watershift, Earthshift, Woodshift, Thundershift, Windshift, Metalshift, and Darkshift—not only were they all fully mastered, they'd reached the terrifying fifth layer! Evan Lin's Chaos Divine Power now surged at late-stage God-Venerable Realm.
When he appeared before everyone again, every God-Venerable present felt an unprecedented, crushing pressure. Evan Chu did nothing—he just stood there, quietly.
"Heh, hello everyone." Evan Chu greeted them simply, but it was like a king had arrived—everyone found it hard to breathe.
Terrifying! That was the only thought in everyone's hearts.
