Evan Chu frowned, his thoughts churning in chaos—utterly at a loss.
"Gods' Necropolis, War of the Gods, my master's orders, the Frostbane Sword Spirit, and... Ninefold Divine Sovereign? What's the link between all this?"
Looks like I'll have to ask Luna about this when I get the chance. Just what is going on here? Could there be an even bigger secret behind the Ninefold Divine Sovereign and the Ninefold Stellar Transformation?
After parting ways with Lord Thunder, Evan Chu led his powerhouse army back in victory. Yet Lord Thunder's words kept echoing in his mind, impossible to forget.
Especially Lord Thunder's final words: Don't disappoint me. Don't disappoint Master!
Let Master down? If he wasn't mistaken, Evan Chu's master had fallen nearly ten thousand years ago. Back then, the Frostbane Divine Sword and Frostbane Divine Palace were entrusted to him, then vanished completely. Only much later did news of their demise reach the outside world.
His master had gifted him all three supreme artifacts—the Ethereal Divine Shuttle, Timewheel Bracelet, and Frostbane Divine Sword.
Back then, the three brothers each managed one of the divine artifacts, building Frostbane Divine Palace into an unrivaled powerhouse.
But after everything that happened, all three supreme artifacts ended up in Evan Chu's hands. And could it be that when Master bestowed the Frostbane title on him, there was some deeper purpose?
The original Frostbane Divine Sovereign's name was never Frostbane. And in the God Realm, there was never just one Frostbane Divine Sovereign!
In fact, even Frostbane Divine Sovereign's master once bore that same title!
The Frostbane Divine Sovereign is the leader of Frostbane Divine Palace, but it's not a specific person—it's a legacy, a role handed down through generations.
To the outside world, the title of Frostbane Divine Sovereign is awe-inspiring and glorious, but inside the palace, it's an overwhelming responsibility.
That's why, after rebuilding Frostbane Divine Palace, Evan Chu refused to call himself Frostbane Divine Sovereign—he insisted on being known only as Evan Chu.
He doesn't want to take on that title or responsibility lightly—not until he uncovers the whole truth of the past. He won't shoulder that burden again.
As for rebuilding Frostbane Divine Palace, it's to fulfill his master's dying wish: so that Frostbane Divine Palace will never fall, can still stand tall in the God Realm, and to show everyone that whether it's Frostbane Divine Sovereign or the Evan Chu of today, he is undefeated, unconquerable, indestructible—no one can bring him down!
Unconsciously, with his mind full of tangled thoughts, Evan Chu returned to Frostbane Divine Palace. Even as everyone celebrated his victory, he felt no happiness at all.
As his cultivation grew stronger and stronger, a certain feeling in his heart became clearer and clearer.
He now completely agreed with Lord Thunder: the War of the Gods back then was a monstrous, calculated conspiracy that might still be unfolding even now!
And then, an even more terrifying, unbelievable thought suddenly popped into his mind: what if his own reincarnation, Luna's reincarnation, and even the Primordial Dragon's reincarnation are all just pieces in this monstrous conspiracy?
And in the God Realm, aside from the Spirit Lord who still hasn't shown himself, all the experts of the other Ten Great Powers are probably mere chess pieces in someone else's game!
Thinking about all this, Evan Chu broke out in a cold sweat, unable to think further. It was just too terrifying.
"Junior brother, what were you really trying to tell me? And Master... what does this Frostbane title truly mean? Why does everyone who inherits the palace and the Frostbane name treat it as more important than life itself?"
And you—who had already surpassed the Divine Sovereign realm—how did you suddenly fall? The War of the Gods began and ended without warning. Why did it start? Why did it end so abruptly?
Did that catastrophe that claimed so many experts' lives really have something to do with the so-called Dark Crimson Demon Star? Junior brother, how did you escape disaster back then? And Spirit Lord, just what kind of existence are you..."
Confusion! Chaos! Even with all the memories of Frostbane Divine Sovereign fully awakened, Evan Chu still couldn't make sense of it all.
"That's right! Gods' Necropolis! Ninefold Divine Sovereign... If the news is correct, I remember Ninefold Divine Sovereign is supposed to be in the Qintian Sword Sect! Looks like I need to find a chance to go there."
With a thought, Evan Chu stepped out from the Timewheel Bracelet.
Ever since the day he destroyed Freewind and returned victorious, he'd been secluded inside the bracelet.
Partly to figure out the secrets of the past, the current chaos of the God Realm, and Lord Thunder's words; partly to fully refine the Dark Element Core Pearl he'd taken from Freewind, and break through Darkshift.
The spoils of that bloody battle were immense—Evan Chu's careful search netted him hundreds of Dark Element Core Pearls. Now, the energy from these pearls had not only let him break through to the seventh layer of Darkshift, but was already pushing him toward the eighth!
With Lightshift lagging slightly behind, the rest of the elements had all reached the seventh transformation or even their peak.
Now, having nearly mastered Divine Dragon Nine Transformations, Ninefold Golden Body Art, and Ninefold Stellar Transformation, his understanding deepened with each breakthrough.
When all nine transformations are complete and nine nines become one, the foundation of the Chaos Body will erupt with unimaginable change!
And that mutation could make Evan Chu endlessly stronger—who knows what level he'll reach.
He couldn't suppress his excitement every time he thought about it.
"If I can find the Gods' Necropolis and completely unravel the mystery of the corpse-puppets, I should be able to get even more powerful, pure Dark Element energy. Plus, the remaining Dark Element Core Pearls are enough for me to cultivate Darkshift to the eighth layer!"
For the other seven elements, the Elemental Spirit Pearl keeps producing more, so even reaching consummation isn't a problem. But for pure Light Element energy, I need to accelerate my cultivation...
But as soon as Evan Chu emerged, he was immediately greeted by a palpable wave of resentment.
"Hmph! So you finally came out. I thought you were going to abandon us after shutting yourself away!"

"Alright, alright, Evan's just busy cultivating. Let's not blame him."
Monica and Lena Zhong, the two women, chimed in together, obviously teaming up to give Evan Chu a hard time.
He went off to battle on our wedding day, came back victorious, then closed up for cultivation. The two of us are newlyweds, and we still haven't even had our wedding night!
Of course Evan Chu knew what they were thinking, and he burst out laughing.
"Can't wait, huh? Feeling parched? Waiting for me to 'nourish' you?"
"Go away!"
"Yeah, go play with your beast buddies, let them give you kids instead."
"Hahaha! You two are something else, jealous over this? Fine, fine, I know I've neglected you. That was my fault. But the situation in the God Realm isn't as optimistic as you think. Frostbane Divine Palace may seem invincible for now, but that's just an illusion.
Uh, enough. Otherwise you'll say I'm ruining your mood again. Alright, tonight your husband will make it up to you!"
With a flick of his sleeve, Evan Chu shut all the doors and windows of the grand hall tight. Then—rip!—he tore Monica and Lena Zhong's clothes right off, gazing at their alluring, pale bodies as he began to get handsy.
"Ah! What are you doing? It's broad daylight!"
"No, Evan, let's wait until tonight... mm..."
But before the two women could beg for mercy, Evan Chu couldn't wait any longer. Besides, it was about time to vent some of that intense Pure Yang Qi from his Primordial Dragon Bloodline.
Clap clap clap... A fierce battle raged, wild and chaotic—more exhausting than when Evan Chu cut down a Divine Sovereign, but a hundred times more thrilling and satisfying.
After all that intense action and 'nourishment,' the two women were thoroughly satisfied. But just as Evan finally relaxed, Wenshan Easton came rushing to report from outside the hall—Master Wan of Stormtower had urgent business: there's news from the Divine Phoenix Clan!
