509: Inner God and Outer God

After multiple clashes, the strength of both sides had reached a balance.

The fall of Venerables was rare.

However, more and more Venerables were severely injured and went into seclusion.

The so-called severe injury naturally meant that their minor world was severely damaged.

Generally speaking, if 60% or more of the minor world was damaged, or its core was damaged, the minor world would collapse.

Venerables with stronger Soul power could withstand a higher limit of damage.

Venerables at the True Word Skill level, as long as their core was intact, would be fine even if their minor world was damaged by 95% or more.

But generally, no Venerable would wait until their limit was reached before leaving.

Instead, they would go into seclusion after about 30% damage.

Life was the most important; everything else that needed to be done had already been done.

Therefore, current battles were decided by attrition.

Whoever caused more damage to the opponent's minor world in a battle was naturally in the advantageous position.

Under this balance, wins and losses were exchanged.

After this battle, Lin Ye left with a belly full of frustration.

"Undying Venerable, why are you so unhappy?"

"Undying, didn't you just thoroughly beat the opponent?"

Upon his return, a group of Venerables immediately noticed Lin Ye.

They all joked.

"That Silver God King restrains me quite severely; who can hold him off for me?" Lin Ye said.

"That won't do. We don't have the strength to hold off the Silver God King. Besides you, the only other person in our universe with an True Word Skill is Ancient Machine God Venerable, and his Incantation is affected by the laws, so he chose to guard the universe."

"That's right, Undying, you're the only one who can handle the Silver God King. Angel God King is holding off the opposing Blazing Sun God King, and Life God King and Death God King need to suppress the Soul-splitting God King; they can't leave for long."

"Yes, Undying Venerable, just hold your ground. I think that Silver God King will also have his Soul split sooner or later."

The Venerables kindly advised him.

The main forces truly couldn't leave.

They also understood Lin Ye's feelings quite well.

After all, Lin Ye wasn't even as old as their descendants.

Twenty thousand years old, that was just a nap for them.

His journey had been smooth sailing, so he had never fought such a frustrating battle. It was natural for him to feel uncomfortable.

Hmm, even fighting with an advantage was a frustrating battle.

This point made the Venerables inwardly complain.

Some of them were suppressed in battle, and as long as their minor world wasn't damaged, they felt like they had made a huge profit.

Lin Ye suppressed the opponent, repeatedly causing battle damage, and still wasn't satisfied.

Comparing oneself to others can be infuriating.

"No, the Silver God King must be eliminated. Let me think about it."

Lin Ye bid farewell to the Venerables and chose to enter a short seclusion, not emerging during non-battle times.

Seeing this, the Venerables sighed with emotion.

"Undying Venerable truly lives up to his name as a peerless genius; even at this realm, he still thinks about advancing further."

"An True Word Skill-level Supreme, can he advance further?"

"Don't forget Undying Venerable's Chaos Minor World; that Chaos Minor World is also top-tier."

"That's right, what else could be further advanced?"

"Dual True Word Skills seem impossible; few have ever achieved it, and breaking through to a higher realm is even more absurd. Then there's only Divine Battle Method. It is said that Undying Venerable has comprehended Divine Battle Method, but his comprehension isn't deep enough yet."

"Divine Battle Method? That thing is too difficult to improve."

"Indeed, none in our universe have comprehended it. Looking at all known Venerables, it seems only three have comprehended Divine Battle Method, and only one has reached Level One, barely comparable to an True Word Skill."

"This path is too difficult, but with Undying Venerable's comprehension, he should be able to reach Level One after comprehending for a few hundred million years."

They had no doubt about Lin Ye's talent in this path.

As the first person in history to comprehend Divine Battle Method at the Dominator level, his talent in Divine Battle Method was absolutely astonishing.

However, in the short term, it was of no help to the battle.

........

"Silver, I heard you were thoroughly beaten by that kid again?"

Blazing Sun God King asked.

The Silver God King, who had returned to the Celestial Realm's camp, showed no sign of dejection, even after being thoroughly beaten.

"Mhm."

He calmly admitted it.

Blazing Sun God King shook his head. This Silver had always been like this, neither warm nor cold.

Of course, it was precisely this temperament that allowed him to steadily withstand the Undying Venerable.

Otherwise, if it were him, he probably wouldn't have been able to hold back long ago.

"Has Destiny found a way to resolve the Soul splitting?" Silver asked.

Blazing Sun shook his head.

"Not at all. He's currently obsessed with comprehending the worlds will and has made some small achievements, but even with the worlds will's assistance, he hasn't found a solution."

"Then Life and Death will continue to be held back? The pressure on our front line is too great; we can't sustain it for so long, and... I feel like my Soul is also about to split." Silver God King said.

"That fast?" Blazing Sun was a little surprised.

One must know that there were still some Overlord-level God Kings who hadn't had their Souls split yet.

Yet, Silver, as an True Word Skill-level Supreme, was already showing symptoms.

"The pressure I'm enduring is too great, and my Soul cultivation isn't particularly outstanding. Coupled with the Undying Venerable's Soul attack affecting me, my Soul's splitting has accelerated."

Silver revealed a long-hidden secret.

"Why..." Blazing Sun God King wanted to ask why he hadn't told them sooner.

But thinking of Silver's temperament and the importance of intercepting Lin Ye, he swallowed his words.

Aside from the Silver God King, there truly wasn't any other God King who could hold off Lin Ye.

And to enhance Silver's Soul?

At this level, nothing could enhance them anymore.

"Let's go discuss it with Life and Death. We can't continue like this."

Blazing Sun said.

When Life God King and Death God King learned of it, they fell silent.

"Give up." Death suddenly said.

The three God Kings looked at him.

"Death, it hasn't come to that point yet, has it?" Life felt a little reluctant.

She knew what giving up meant.

"He who hesitates is lost. Giving up is also a kind of reconciliation with oneself."

"Moreover, for us, giving up treatment is the best solution."

Death God King explained.

Silver God King and Life God King were clearly somewhat unable to accept it.

But Blazing Sun God King highly approved.

"Send the afflicted God Kings elsewhere. After that, they're on their own. Once we're afflicted, we should also flee far away and leave the Celestial Realm to the Outer Gods."

Outer Gods was their term for God Kings who didn't participate in the Celestial Realm's political system.

Now that all of them, the Inner Gods, were afflicted, they naturally had to let these Outer Gods preside over the Celestial Realm.

"I don't agree."

"Life, do you have a better solution? You and I have been in contact with the afflicted God Kings the longest. Do you think there's any better method? We've tried every possibility."

Death said.

He and Life God King had been in contact with these Gods the longest, understood them best, and knew their destructive power.

Having tried so many methods, he also understood that recovery was a pipe dream.

Life God King was speechless.

Emotion told her this was unacceptable.

But reason told her this was the best solution.
