526: Winning over

Facing the scene Day Tiger described, Chaos directly laughed and said, "Day Tiger, your joke isn't funny at all."

"The Star Devouring Behemoth is strong, but that's all it is."

"Believing it can destroy two universes is like believing I am the Eternal Dominator."

Chaos had the confidence to look down on the Star Devouring Behemoth.

Not only did he possess the strength of a God-King at the fifth stage, but he also wielded the incredibly powerful Law of Time.

Even if the Star Devouring Behemoth was stronger, Chaos could remain completely invincible.

Facing Chaos's doubt, Day Tiger remained silent, preparing to directly present the evidence.

Although he couldn't directly reveal the Phoenix Bird to hide it, Day Tiger still had other means to prove everything.

With a thought, a Cosmic Beast at the peak of the Lord-level appeared before the two beasts.

Talent: Star Devourer (Mythical)!

Before this Cosmic Beast could even figure out what was happening, it was devoured by the powerful force Day Tiger suddenly released, completely becoming sustenance in Day Tiger's belly.

If Day Tiger devouring a Lord was perfectly normal, then Day Tiger easily devouring a Lord using only Domain Lord Level power was extremely abnormal.

That was a two-level power gap, which could easily be described as a world of difference, yet it truly happened before Chaos's eyes.

Although puzzled, Chaos still wore that indifferent expression and said, "Day Tiger, did you travel all the way to the River of Time just to perform a magic trick in front of me?"

"You can make a Lord disappear with magic, but you can't make a God-King disappear with magic."

Facing Chaos's sarcasm, Day Tiger just said indifferently, "If you think it's magic, then it's magic."

"I just hope that you, a high and mighty God-King, won't also be made to disappear by similar magic one day."

Chaos naturally knew that Day Tiger wouldn't speak without reason; his words were merely a show of stubbornness.

He immediately grabbed Day Tiger, who was about to leave, and said with a ingratiating smile, "Brother Day Tiger, let's talk this over."

"These sand of time are my apology for my rudeness just now; I hope you'll accept them."

"Perhaps we truly should have a good discussion."

Accepting the sand of time without ceremony, Day Tiger finally stood still again.

Although he didn't really need the sand of time right now, there was no reason to refuse something given for free.

Moreover, in the final crucial battle, these sand of time might prove to be miraculously effective.

Thinking of this, Day Tiger continued, "I know you're very confused as to why I can do such heaven-defying things."

"But I only need to tell you one keyword, and you'll understand everything: 'Star Refining Art'!

"Perhaps you don't know, but the reason I've been stuck at the God-King realm without progress is because I was forced to cultivate the Star Refining Art."

"And it was precisely because of the Star Refining Art that I ultimately discovered the truth of this conspiracy."

"If I can easily devour beings two levels higher than myself, what kind of scene would Star Refining Art cultivators, whose strength is inherently inferior to the Star Devouring Behemoth, encounter when they face the Star Devouring Behemoth? I believe you can imagine."

Facing Day Tiger's explanation, Chaos subconsciously retorted, "No, this is impossible."

"How could the Star Devouring Behemoth have such a good appetite? It wouldn't be afraid of bursting its belly."

Then he realized his words seemed a bit off and explained, "Day Tiger, it's not that I don't believe you, but I find this matter a bit too incredible."

"No matter how powerful the Star Devouring Behemoth is, it's still just a God-King. How big of an appetite does it have to swallow all the Cosmic Beasts in the entire universe?"

"Not to mention God-Kings; each one possesses heaven-reaching abilities."

"Defeating a God-King might be simple, but killing one is incredibly difficult. Even whether the recently fallen Blazing Sky God-King is truly dead is an unknown."

Day Tiger didn't blame Chaos for his lack of insight; in fact, many things he wouldn't believe unless he experienced them personally.

A seemingly ordinary and unremarkable cultivation technique actually had the ability to imprison a cultivator's body and consciousness—Day Tiger would never have believed it if he hadn't experienced it firsthand.

Thinking of this, Day Tiger shook his head slightly and said, "If I hadn't experienced it myself, I wouldn't believe such a simple thing."

"But Chaos, if you just change your way of thinking, this matter might become very easy to understand."

"A God-King naturally cannot have such a large appetite, but what about the Eternal Dominator, who is even stronger than a God-King?"

"Don't forget, the Star Devouring Behemoth's innate God King Laws are the Laws of Devouring; its appetite is even greater than we imagine."

Everything seemed completely wrong, yet also extremely logical.

When the concept of the Eternal Dominator appeared, Chaos already believed Day Tiger to some extent.

If there was anything worth the Star Devouring Behemoth's insane sacrifice of all living beings in two universes, it must be the Eternal Dominator, a higher realm that only exists in Legend.

Novels might still need logic, but reality does not.

Chaos wavered in his heart, but ultimately made his final judgment, saying, "Although there are many loopholes in your statement, I believe you."

"We've been friends for many years; there's no need for you to lie to me like this."

"However, there's a very serious problem now, and that is how to deal with the Star Devouring Behemoth."

"The Star Devouring Behemoth is strong and has such terrifying plans; what do we have to defeat him?"

"At least our strength is far from enough."

Seeing that Chaos believed his explanation, Day Tiger finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Since I came to you, I naturally have a foolproof plan."

After speaking, Day Tiger recounted the plan he had discussed with Heavensea God-King and the Phoenix Bird to Chaos.

However, to be safe, he chose not to expose Heavensea God-King and the Phoenix Bird, only saying that they would act according to a secret signal when the time came.

Once Day Tiger's signal for a general offensive was given, that would be the moment for them to fully attack the Star Devouring Behemoth.

This plan concerned the survival of two universes, the survival of countless Cosmic Beasts, and whether Lin Tianwei would have enough time to break through.

Even with Day Tiger's self-confidence, he dared not trust these collaborators too much.

Only the Phoenix Bird could gain a little of Day Tiger's trust; after all, it was a subordinate personally verified by Lin Tianwei, so there was no need to be wary.

After listening to Day Tiger's plan, Chaos nodded approvingly and said, "You're better at these intrigues and schemes."

"But at a time like this, where do I find a Chaos Universe God-King who can act for me?"

Facing Chaos's question, Day Tiger didn't hesitate, pulling out a Burning Sky Fire Seed from his storage space and saying, "What do you think of the Blazing Sky God-King?"

"Although you wield one of the strongest Laws in the universe, the Law of Time, its destructive power is negligible for a God-King."

"Although the Blazing Sky God-King's strength isn't great, and he just experienced a fall, he's more than enough to act with you."

Looking at the Burning Sky Fire Seed in Day Tiger's hand and feeling the familiar aura of an old enemy on it, Chaos was immediately stunned.

He never expected that just after he said the Blazing Sky God-King might not truly be dead, he would see this Burning Sky Fire Seed, which carried the Blazing Sky God-King's consciousness.

In fact, as a God-King, the Blazing Sky God-King would have more life-saving methods than other Cosmic Beasts.

Just as the Phoenix Bird could be reborn, although the Blazing Sky God-King's main body was devoured by the Star Devouring Behemoth, he did not completely die.

Instead, at the moment he was about to be completely devoured by the Star Devouring Behemoth, he left behind a remnant soul for himself through the sensing between the Heavenly Flame and this Burning Sky Fire Seed, which Lin Tianwei had once captured.

It was just a pity that the Blazing Sky God-King originally thought this accidentally preserved Burning Sky Fire Seed was his hope of survival, but he didn't expect that he had merely jumped from one pit into another.

Although this remnant soul was weak, as long as it was nurtured with enough resources, the Blazing Sky God-King could be easily hatched.

Most importantly, while the Blazing Sky God-King's remnant soul was still weak and had no ability to resist, it was also the best time to control him.

A chess piece completely controlled by oneself, even if not the strongest, was enough to play the most crucial role at a critical moment.

Moreover, although the Blazing Sky God-King's strength wasn't great, in terms of damage, he was no less inferior to other God-Kings.

After all, that was the Blazing Sky God-King, the Blazing Sky God-King who possessed the Law of Fire, one of the strongest destructive Laws in the universe!

Looking at the Burning Sky Fire Seed in Day Tiger's hand, which harbored a wisp of the Blazing Sky God-King's remnant soul, Chaos was somewhat surprised and said, "You can even get something like this?"

"With the Blazing Sky God-King's cooperation, this matter becomes much simpler."

"Since that's the case, I will do as we just agreed."

"I just hope that your side's forces can be a bit more capable, instead of leaving me, a God-King of limited strength, to fight desperately alone."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't mind dragging some companions down with me before I die."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chaos, as if he no longer intended to bother with Day Tiger, directly leaped into the River of Time before him and began to swim in it.

Perhaps only Chaos, who used the Law of Time as his God King Laws, could accomplish the feat of swimming in the River of Time.

However, leaping into the River of Time was harmful even for Chaos, who was a spirit of the Law of Time.

If it weren't for this critical moment, with the final battle about to erupt, he would never do such a thing.

Yet, risk and reward are always proportional. When Chaos returned from the River of Time again, he would be cleansed by the River of Time, gaining stronger aptitude and greater power.

Before the final battle, Chaos could at least increase his strength by one stage.

However, Chaos couldn't use this method frequently; although he was a spirit of the Law of Time, the Law of Time was too overbearing and could not be measured by ordinary standards.

Once he stayed in the River of Time for too long, Chaos could easily lose himself, completely dissolving into the River of Time and returning to his origin.

Even if the River of Time could give birth to a spirit of the Law of Time again, the one who lived then would no longer be Chaos himself.

For the final battle, Chaos had truly risked everything.

However, even after finding three such reliable allies, Day Tiger still felt that the matter was not secure.

That was the Star Devouring Behemoth, the Star Devouring Behemoth that had been hiding behind the two universes, plotting for countless eons.

Such a simple arrangement might not be enough to guarantee a hundred percent victory in the final battle.

Although Lin Tianwei only asked Day Tiger to buy him time, to gain enough time for his breakthrough.

But who was Day Tiger? He was Lin Tianwei!

His personality dictated that he couldn't do such a thing; directly planning everything to eliminate the Star Devouring Behemoth was Day Tiger's intention.

Thinking this, Day Tiger's body changed again, clearly having transformed into the appearance of the Mechanical God-King.

Although he no longer had reliable allies, who said that one must find allies to accomplish great things?

Sometimes, an enemy's enemy is even more reliable than an ally.

With a flicker, Day Tiger, in the guise of the Mechanical God-King, had returned to the Chaos Universe.

Although the two universes were independent, for these high and mighty God-Kings, there were no barriers whatsoever.

After a moment of thought, Day Tiger's mind instantly landed on his first target—the Ice Flame God-King!

The Ice Flame God-King was a God-King who wielded the Law of Ice, ranking in the upper-middle among all God-Kings, even stronger than the Blazing Sky God-King, possessing the strength of a God-King at the fifth stage.

Most importantly, she had an ambiguous relationship with the Blazing Sky God-King, which meant she had a natural hatred for the Star Devouring Behemoth.

At that time, by carefully manipulating the Burning Sky Fire Seed in his hand, Day Tiger was confident he could win over the Ice Flame God-King, at least ensuring that she would join their side in the final moments to collectively deal with the great enemy, the Star Devouring Behemoth.

Facts proved that Day Tiger's conjecture was not wrong.

Initially, when the Blazing Sky God-King was mentioned, she only thought Day Tiger was gloating, even intending to attack Day Tiger regardless of their factions.

But when Day Tiger stated that he possessed a Burning Sky Fire Seed containing a trace of the Blazing Sky God-King's remnant soul, the Ice Flame God-King's attitude towards Day Tiger completely changed.

As for the alliance request, the Ice Flame God-King agreed without even thinking.

She had already planned to find an opportunity to act against the Star Devouring Behemoth, who had almost completely killed the Blazing Sky God-King.

Day Tiger's suggestion was like finding a pillow when she was sleepy; she couldn't possibly refuse.

Furthermore, the Blazing Sky God-King was naturally short-tempered.

Day Tiger didn't even need to do much to him; he only needed to ignite his anger.

This would leave him with only one thought in his mind: to seek revenge on the Star Devouring Behemoth.

He would become his most reliable ally in the final battle.

There was another benefit to doing this: freeloading on the Ice Flame God-King's resources.

Not only did Day Tiger not need to expend resources to heal the Blazing Sky God-King's injuries, but he could also use this Burning Sky Fire Seed, which contained the Blazing Sky God-King's remnant soul, to exchange for a large amount of usable resources from the Ice Flame God-King, effectively squeezing the Blazing Sky God-King's value to its limit.

From life to death, from death to life, the Blazing Sky God-King was completely manipulated by Day Tiger, unable to resist in the slightest... As time passed, a conspiracy targeting the Star Devouring Behemoth was quietly unfolding, but it remained unknown who would have the last laugh in the final battle.

The ten-year period has arrived, and the final battle is upon us! (End of Chapter)
