“This jar was created under the guidance of one of the Ancestors from our Main branch who recently arrived at Grandura,” Wayne started explaining.
“The people that were involved in its creation don’t remember the process for creating it, while our Ancestor has no intention of helping us refine another jar, as that would be tantamount to breaking the rules set by the Founders of our factions,” he continued as looked around at everyone.
“This Miasma was created by sacrificing numerous Immortal Realm Death Attribute Elemental Beasts. As a result, it contains their extremely strong resentment which resulted in it gaining a little bit of sentience, so it would attack all kinds of living beings,” he explained in more detail.
“No one on Grandura can deal with this Miasma including existences that are beyond Immortals due to their Cultivation Levels being suppressed on Grandura,” Wayne added, then paused for a bit as he scanned the faces of everyone that encircled him and the others from Calamity Sect.
“The Miasma will last for around six months. During that time, no one can access the area shrouded in it except for Martial Artists that are Existences Beyond Immortals, but that is of no use as Legacy Lands are meant for the Younger generation,” Wayne went on.
“So, I hope everyone returns to their faction in peace,” Wayne said finally and as he again scanned the faces of the Martial Artists from the other factions. He could tell that everyone was more or less satisfied with his answer.
“We hope what you are saying is true,” someone said in a serious manner.
According to an agreement between the Founders of the factions that had their Main branches in Divine Universe, no member of any faction’s Main branch could craft any weapon, armor or charm for his or her faction’s Grandura branch when visiting Grandura.
The stuff created by such people would without a doubt be many times more powerful, as their insights and understanding of the Elemental Laws were way higher than those of the inhabitants of Grandura. As a result, anyone using weapons, armor or charms made by Martial Artists with Cultivation Levels above that of Immortal Realm had greater Combat prowess than those created by Martial Artists with similar Cultivation Levels.
The agreement between the Founders of the factions about this was designed to avoid the problematic situation of Grandura being entirely riddled by wars.
“We would be the last to break an agreement that had been agreed upon by all the Founders of the major factions of Grandura, unlike the Heaven Sundering Family Clan and the Eternity Family Clan,” Wayne said as he puffed his chest with pride, and at the same time looked at Nero and company with hostility.
“What do you mean?” Victor asked as he narrowed his eyes. Nero and the others also had similar expressions as they didn’t remember when they’d violated any agreement.
“Nero, tell those bastards from your Main branches that they along with all you people will pay a big price for killing the members of our Main branch,” Wayne said in an angry manner. The expressions of everyone present changed drastically including the members of the Heaven Sundering Family Clan and the Eternity Family Clan.
“The Seniors from the Main branches of our Family Clans would never do such a deed without a reason,” Nero said in a calm manner, but he was shaken up a little as he knew this matter could have lasting consequences.
“Members of the Main branches of two different factions are not supposed to kill each other irrespective of the reason while they are on Grandura. This was what our Founders agreed to millions of years ago. You guys are not special,” Wayne said in anger.
He didn’t like the fact that their plans had been sabotaged at the critical moment by Sheldon and his four companions.
Initially, they had planned to silently make a move in which Shana would enter a death-like state after a few years. In that state, no one would be able to tell that she was alive, unless their Cultivation Level exceeded Immortal Realm. Then they could have silently switched her body with another dead body that looked exactly like hers.
If they had gotten hold of Shana according to their original plan without the Eternity Family Clan and Heaven Sundering Family Clan knowing of it, then their faction would have already gotten an exceptional genius.
Now, they would have to go to war with them to achieve the same result. The entire Calamity Sect cursed their luck as they had never thought that someone from the Main branches of either of the Family Clans would be present on Grandura.
They still didn’t know that their sinister plot had actually been unearthed by a fifteen-year-old teenager, and if they had known that, then they would have had a very difficult time believing it.
“So, what! If you guys are capable, then try to avenge them,” Nero said in anger. He could already guess the reason for which Sheldon and his four companions had made such a dangerous move.
Nero secretly sent a Mental-message transmission to Rudolf informing him about the matter, and asked Rudolf to quickly inform the Main branches regarding it, as it could have a wide range of consequences.
“We will! Don’t worry!” Wayne snorted as he opened a Teleportation portal and left along with the people of his faction and Whirlpool Sect. No one stopped them anymore, as their doubts had been more or less cleared by Wayne.
Everyone’s attention moved towards Nero and the others from Heaven Sundering Family Clan and Eternity Family Clan once Wayne and company left. Nero and company didn’t wish to stay there any longer either, and left after bidding everyone farewell.
“Grandura won’t be calm for long with Calamity Sect going to war with Heaven Sundering Family Clan and Eternity Family Clan. There is also a chance of a few more factions joining this war,” a middle-aged man said with a sigh. He was a Grand Elder of Vulcan sect. No one liked war. It didn’t matter who was fighting whom, as the repercussions from any war had wide-ranging implications for all Grandura’s factions.
“We can’t do much, except watch things from a distance. Everyone should make some preparations, as the flames of war are too unpredictable,” someone else said.
“Factions that have their Main branches in Divine Universe should contact them immediately and inform them about the current situation on Grandura. It would be disastrous if Existences Beyond Immortals were to fight on Grandura,” another person said with a grave expression.
Everyone else couldn’t help but agree with his words.
Ch.19
Herman and Heron had already re-established their respective Family Clans on Endless Abyss Divine World. This World used to belong once to a powerful Demon faction of Hell, but it was quite unlucky to have messed with Solomon. He annihilated it entirely within a few days. The faction had been quite rich and had built a number of cities on Endless Abyss Divine World, but most of them had been destroyed during their fight for survival against Solomon except for a few. Those surviving cities were not at all affected by the passage of time, and they were still the same as they’d been countless years beforehand. This was because normal materials hadn’t been used to make them, and on top of that there were numerous runes etched on the buildings which made them many times sturdier than usual.
Herman and Heron each chose one of the surviving cities as the new home for the Humanoid members of their respective Family Clans. The Eternity Family Clan occupied Endless City, and Heaven Sundering Family Clan, Abyss City. These were the actual names of these cities, and both of them were so huge that they had a lot of empty buildings even after all the Humanoid members of both Family Clans had settled in. Herman and Heron decided not to change their names as they felt a little sorry for their former inhabitants, as their father had killed them for a small matter, though they didn’t dare to say that openly in front of him as they knew that Solomon’s brain worked in completely different manner from theirs.
The Soul beings of the Humanoid members of both Family Clans moved to places of their choice. The majority moved to the forests and mountains of the Abyss Divine World but some moved to its seas. These pla
ces had large number of Treasure Lands of varying attributes.
Endless Abyss Divine World was home to numerous Godly beings but they were followers of Solomon, and they allowed the Soul beings of Solomon’s descendants to quickly integrate into the Treasure Lands of Endless Abyss Divine World without much fuss. Generally, such a situation would have resulted in bloodshed, as all creatures are highly territorial in nature, but nothing of that sort happened and it was all due to Solomon. This increased everyone’s respect for Solomon in their hearts by another level.
The life of the members of the Main branches of both Family Clans had started to return to normal within just a few days of their arrival on Endless Abyss Divine World. Many people were extremely happy to be there, as the Elemental Energy there was manyfold purer than what had been on Radiant Divine World, and that would increase their cultivation speed. This Divine World also produced a hundred times more Heavenly Treasures of varying grades in comparison to Radiant Divine World due to its Elemental Energy being manyfold purer. That alone would increase the strength of both the Family Clans within a few million years.
Currently, Solomon, Herman, Heron and the other powerhouses of both Family Clans were seated in a big Meeting Hall in Herman’s new palace in Endless City. The atmosphere was not lively as they’d just received a Mental-message transmission from Rudolf regarding Sheldon and his four companions slaughtering the members of the Main branch of Calamity Sect. They knew that this could make things difficult for the Grandura branches of both Family Clans.
“So, how should we proceed? Things on Grandura have become problematic due to the actions of Sheldon and his four companions,” Heron said before he paused for a moment as he readied himself to share the most disturbing news.
His expression turned serious as he continued in a grim tone, “There is also a high chance that Nebula Sect and Silver Moon Family Clan might send their experts to Grandura in order to wipe out the Grandura branches of our Family Clans in order to lure us out. I just received Intel regarding this matter from one my trusted friends,”
The heartbeats of everyone present in the room increased and their expressions turned listless upon hearing Heron.
Grandura was an important place for them, as many of the members of the Senior generations had started their journeys to attain Divinity from there.
“Is your friend worth trusting?” Solomon asked a counter question, as he frowned. He had stopped trusting outsiders since the day his best friend had betrayed him, which had resulted in the death of his wife. Everyone in the room already knew that he was the legendary bandit, Walking Death, so they naturally knew Solomon’s backstory.
“Father, he is my best friend … ” Heron stopped, as he saw Baleful aura erupting from his father’s body as he glared at him with anger. Solomon just hated the term “best friend”.
“Father, it is not that we completely trust him. We will send a few scouts to verify the Intel given by him,” Herman quickly added to appease his father.
On hearing this, Solomon nodded his head and a tranquil expression appeared on his face. Heron finally sighed with relief as he thanked his elder brother numerous times for saving him from their father’s wrath.
“Why don’t you guys just trust those five kids and let them handle the matter regarding Grandura. We still don’t know the real reason which forced them to kill the members of the Main branch of Calamity Sect. There might have been a genuine reason behind their actions,” Solomon said in a calm manner, but everyone could understand his underlying meaning.
Solomon, Heron, and Herman already had an inkling that the entire matter was somehow related to Shana. Sheldon and his four companions had killed Asco, Seth, and Gero at the same time as Solomon was helping the Main branches of both Family Clans to shift to Endless Abyss Divine World, so they were not sure what exactly had made Sheldon and his four companions do that.
“We can’t, Ancestor. They have already caused such great harm to the Main branches of both Family Clans. The Grandura branches might also meet their ends if they were allowed near them. We should send someone else in their place,” one of the members of the Upper echelon of the Eternity Family Clan said in anger, and Solomon just glared at him once to shut his mouth.
The other members of the Upper echelons of the Main branches of both Family Clans didn’t dare voice any kind of dissent following that. The matter regarding Sheldon and his four companions was already known to everyone amongst the members of the Upper echelons of the Main branches of both Family Clans.
Initially, the members of the Upper echelons of both Family Clans had wanted Herman to sentence them to death immediately, but they gave up on their demand as Solomon was against it, as he felt that there must have been a reason behind their actions.
The hate in the hearts of the members of the Upper echelons of the Main branches of both the Family Clans towards Sheldon and his four companions hadn’t reduced, so they were always quite biased against them.
“We will contact them at once,” Aquila said immediately, as she took out a Galactic mental-message transmission orb from her Spatial pouch and quickly sent a Mental-message transmission to Sheldon. She asked him to quickly explain the circumstance which made them kill the members of the Main branch of Calamity Sect. She also asked him to protect the Grandura branches of both Family Clans. She knew that Solomon would be unhappy if she didn’t do that.
“Finally, they are moving in the right direction,” Solomon thought to himself as a smile appeared on his face. Herman, Heron and everyone else could but naturally tell why Solomon had an idiotic smile plastered on his face, but it suddenly became serious as he made a few hand signs and a screen appeared in the Meeting Hall.
The screen showed the Outer space region around Radiant Divine World. The expressions of everyone changed and Murderous intent was released from their bodies as they looked at the scene being shown by the screen. Solomon turned into a blur and appeared outside Herman’s palace following which he turned into a streak of red light as he shot towards the sky.
A Teleportation portal opened in the sky. He charged into it at full power.
He just hoped that he could reach in time.
In the Outer space just outside Radiant Divine World two powerful armies were standing face to face. Each had a million Gods in it. One army belonged to Nebula Sect while the other was made of the members of the Main branches of Heaven Sundering Family Clan and Eternity Family Clan, that had been banished over the years since the establishment of both the Family Clans, and their Soul beings.
The banished members of both Family Clans had bloodshot eyes as they looked at their once beautiful Divine World with regret, guilt and sadness.
Radiant Divine World had turned completely barren. Its surface had a large number of cracks which made it clear that it was dying and could crumble any moment. They felt waves of different emotions with each passing second. Silver Moon Family Clan had ordered Nebula Sect to destroy Radiant Divine World after Solomon and the rest had successfully escaped to Endless Abyss Divine World.
Nebula Sect had used Water of Death to destroy Radiant Divine World. Water of Death is a Heavenly Treasure that can only be used by Primordial Gods of Death for increasing their strength. If anyone below them uses it, then only death awaits that person. As Radiant Divine World was a Low-grade Divine World, a little bit of Water of Death was sufficient to destroy it. Generally, Water of Death is only be found on High-grade Divine Worlds like Endless Abyss Divine World as they are strong enough to contain it.
Unknown to the banished members of both Family Clans, the space around them had been sealed by a Primordial God from the Nebula Sect. They were like animals in a slaughter house at the mercy of the butcher.
Currently, they were being watched by the majority of the higher-ups of Nebula Sect and an Elder of Silver Moon Family Clan, who were there just for the sake of getting information about the mysterious being or faction that was behind their Family Clans.
“Just w
hy did you people have to wipe out our Family Clans!” the person that was leading the banished members of both Family Clans roared in grief. He was dressed entirely in red and had handsome features. His name was Raizel, and it was clear that he was trying to control himself from going berserk after seeing the members of Nebula Sect. The people that had come along with him were no different: they didn’t care for their lives at that moment either.
“Sheldon and his four companions are responsible for this entire situation. If they had not stolen our faction’s Treasure Sword, then nothing of this sort would have happened,” the person leading the Nebula Sect’s army said. He was dressed entirely in blue and had mediocre features that ensured that he didn’t stand out in a crowd; his name was Harfn.
“Since they are dead, it is but natural that we will find their Family Clan in order to recover our Treasured Sword,” Harfn said in a forceful manner.
Nebula Sect was using to their advantage the fact that Raizel and company didn’t know that their Family Clans had already escaped to safety.
They wished to extract the maximum possible information from them, which was a direct order from their Sect Master. They had to obtain information regarding the mysterious being or faction that was supporting both these Family Clans at all costs, as they didn’t wish to leave a potential enemy alive for long, as that could have lasting consequences.
This was also the wish of Silver Moon Family Clan, so they had no choice but to fulfill it. Nebula Sect was not scared of the mysterious being or faction that had saved Heaven Sundering Family Clan and Eternity Family Clan, even though they knew that this mysterious being or faction could easily annihilate their faction. They were sure that the Silver Moon Family Clan would protect them if such a situation were to arise.
“Do you seriously think that we will believe your words that Nebula Sect would actually hand over their faction’s Treasured Sword to a subsidiary D Grade faction?” Raizel said in a contemptuous manner, as that was such a preposterous idea.
