333: Primary Plane Chosen

5.8 billion merit points flowed through the divine seal like stars, while the remaining 1 billion slaughter value served as the core fuel driving this war machine.

The vast power of the tenth-level Star City, the transformative power of the myriad dao furnace, and the mass-production miracle of the chaos creation platform gave Chaos Origin City war potential far surpassing its peers.

However, Lin Yuan's gaze did not linger on the prosperity before him.

The star city lord token was slightly hot in his palm; an invisible network connected the entire Star City territory, and even vaguely touched the deeper veins of this New Divine Domain.

The threat of the Blood Abyss Devil Emperor was like a maggot on the tarsal bone, the hundred-year deadline was closing in step by step, and the countdown to the opening of the Hongmeng Origin World hung over his head like a sword.

He needed greater speed, stronger power, and... vast territories and a more massive force!

"star city lord... governing a region, one must have the might of a pillar." Lin Yuan whispered to himself, his Divine Thought sinking into the token to invoke the star city lord authority.

"Chaos Origin City promotion ceremony complete, proclaim to the Divine Domain, let all spirits bear witness!"

Following his will, the grandmist dao source divine seal suddenly erupted with unprecedented Grandmist divine light!

The light pierced through the barriers of the universe, turning into a sacred pillar of light that connected heaven and earth, shooting straight into the depths of the 903 Divine Domain's firmament!

Within the pillar of light, the Grandmist Dao Palace, the myriad dao furnace, the chaos creation platform, and the phantoms of the thousand Star Scar Guards currently taking shape were clearly visible!

A supreme will to govern the Star City, protect the plane, and open up the future, accompanied by the pressure of Lin Yuan's title "lord of star radiance," swept through the entire Divine Domain!

"Heavenly Dao Proclamation (Global): star city lord Lin Yuan holds the Star City promotion ceremony at Chaos Origin City! Chaos Origin City, tenth-level Star City, lord of star radiance, shall be respected by all lords!"

"Obtained Heavenly Dao Blessing: Junior Child of the Plane (Temporary title, lasts until the opening of the Hongmeng Origin World): Additional combat power bonus of 5000 Yuan Qi! Fatal damage immunity count +3! All Dao affinity +5000%! Plane authority increased!"

"Chaos Origin City obtained permanent status: Divine Domain Lighthouse (Attracts more refugees/talents to defect, increases territory reputation and trade attractiveness)!"

This was not just a ceremony, but a declaration!

A declaration to the entire 903 Divine Domain of the existence and power of Chaos Origin City!

A declaration to the Dark Abyss of the firm will of the Primal Plane here!

A declaration to all covetous parties that this place already has a Dominator!

The grand sound of the Heavenly Dao and the Grandmist pillar of light illuminating the Divine Domain instantly ignited every corner of the 903 Divine Domain!

Cangqiong Imperial Dynasty, Star Fortress.

Heavenly Emperor Cang looked at Lin Yuan's phantom like a deity within the sky-piercing pillar of light, as well as the glaring bonus of "Son of the Plane," and his handsome face twisted until it was almost hideous.

"Son of the Plane... Fatal damage immunity +3... Lin Yuan! How do you have the qualifications!" He slammed his fist onto the table made of star cores, and the sturdy table instantly turned into dust.

"Pass the order! Start the final stage of 'Star Fall'!

All resources are to be tilted towards the 'Star Radiance Divine Guards'! At all costs, within three months, I want to see a fifth-level Star Fortress! Also... contact the 'Void Predators', put a bounty on the secret of Lin Yuan's rapid accumulation! I want to know how he did it!"

Life and Death Bone City, Withered Prosperity Altar.

The Withered Prosperity Saint dug his withered fingers deep into the smooth surface of the crystal ball, his eyes burning with crazy jealousy and greed.

"Son of the Plane... Plane authority..." He let out a hoarse roar in his throat, "These things should all be mine! How is the 'Bone Erosion' plan being executed?!"

A grey-robed figure appeared like a ghost: "Saint, three 'Bone Erosion Dead Squads' have successfully infiltrated the outer 'Mysterious Crystal Veins' and 'Chaos Qi Vortex Collection Points' of Chaos Origin City, and are using 'Dao-Devouring Insects' to steal the secondary products of the myriad dao furnace and some spatial coordinate information... but the target area has tight defenses, with powerful spatial early warning and gui xu annihilation turrets..."

"At all costs! Even if they all die, you must get the core samples!" The Withered Prosperity Saint roared, "Also, send that encrypted information we deciphered about the existence of 'Dark Abyss Plane coordinate anchors' in the depths of the 'Withered Star Ring' to Heavenly Emperor Cang's desk! Let them... fight like dogs!"

Life Sanctuary, Heart of Emerald.

Su Yao stood at the top of the ancient tree of life, bathing in the Grandmist divine light coming from afar, carrying the aura of protection and pioneering, a gratified smile appearing on her beautiful face.

"Son of the Plane... Lin Yuan, the Heavenly Dao really favors you." She gently stroked the emerald green branches and leaves of the ancient tree, "The ancient tree tells me that the erosion of the Dark Abyss in the 'Withered Star Ring' is accelerating, and the power entrenched there seems to be more deeply connected to the true body of the Blood Abyss Devil Emperor... Perhaps, it is time to put down my reserve."

She took out an emerald green letter branded with life runes, wrote with her Divine Thought, and the letter turned into a stream of light, flying towards Chaos Origin City.

Imperial Dao Dragon City, Nine Dragon Platform.

Mr. Yuan Mie Xu looked at Lin Yuan's figure in the pillar of light, the last trace of doubt in his eyes gone, leaving only pure admiration and determination.

"Son of the Plane, lord of star radiance... Brother Lin, you have already carried this sky for us."

He turned around and said in a deep voice to the dozens of generals behind him with condensed auras and wearing dragon-patterned armor: "Pass my order! Those belonging to the Dragon City, enter a state of full combat readiness immediately! Resources are to be tilted towards the 'Imperial Dao Dragon Guards' and 'Army-Breaking Warships'! Target: Within three months, promote to a fifth-level Star Fortress! At the same time, send the highest-level diplomatic and watchful alliance request to Chaos Origin City! In this battle, I, Mr. Yuan Mie Xu, am willing to be the vanguard!"

Chaos Origin City, Grandmist Dao Palace.

Lin Yuan received the flow of information from all sides: the goodwill-filled diplomatic and intelligence letter from Su Yao; the sonorous and powerful alliance request from Mr. Yuan Mie Xu; the traces of the Withered Prosperity Saint's secret covetousness; and the encrypted information about the "Dark Abyss Plane coordinate anchor" from Heavenly Emperor Cang's side.

"Withered Star Ring... Dark Abyss coordinate anchor... Heavenly Emperor Cang... Withered Prosperity Saint..." Cold light flickered in Lin Yuan's eyes.

He instantly saw through the Withered Prosperity Saint's plan to borrow a knife to kill.

The Withered Star Ring must be a more terrifying Dark Abyss stronghold than the Rotten Star Nest, and the so-called coordinate anchor was probably another deadly trap, trying to lure Heavenly Emperor Cang or even himself to crash into it.

"Hmph, petty tricks." Lin Yuan sneered.

He was now the Son of the Plane, possessing higher plane authority, and his perception of the Dark Abyss was sharper.

The Withered Star Ring was indeed dangerous, but the power entrenched within was definitely not something the current Heavenly Emperor Cang could touch.

His gaze fell on Mr. Yuan Mie Xu's alliance request and Su Yao's letter.

"Mr. Yuan Mie Xu... Imperial Dao Dragon Qi, upright and unyielding, comprehended the Great Dao of Void Ruin, and belongs to the same Tianyuan Dynasty as me, can be drawn as a strong reinforcement. Su Yao... Great Dao of Life, purifying the Dark Abyss, indispensable."

"If one wants to sit on that supreme throne, one must have the broad-mindedness to encompass all rivers and the spirit to govern the eight wildernesses!"

Lin Yuan's Divine Thought sank into the star city lord token, and a majestic voice spread to both sides through the token:

"Fellow Daoist Mie Xu, I approve of your request for an alliance! Chaos Origin City is willing to form a watchful alliance with Imperial Dao Dragon City to defend against the Dark Abyss together! Starting now, the myriad worlds star gate will establish a directional connection channel with Imperial Dao Dragon City!"

"Fellow Daoist Su Yao, I approve of your request for diplomatic relations! Chaos Origin City is willing to form a friendly covenant with the Life Sanctuary to resist erosion together! The intelligence on the Withered Star Ring is worth a thousand gold, and I accept it with gratitude! If there is a need, the resources of Chaos Origin City can be given priority to the Life Sanctuary!"
