Chapter 386: The Main God Space (Forty-Two)

Within an eternal space.
A being, its entire body shrouded in silvery-white light, its full form obscured, silently gazed at the scene before it.
The scene depicted Su Chen battling three True Immortals.
The Heavenly Gang Immortal King suddenly felt a pang of confusion.
“I personally suppressed him, even erasing his true name, so why is he still alive?”
The Heavenly Gang Immortal King had suspected Su Chen was the leader of the Immortal Alliance, and now he was completely certain.
The original leader of the Immortal Alliance hadn't died!
The Wise Immortal Lord and the Human Emperor Immortal Lord were bait he had used; the Heavenly Gang Immortal King didn't care about their lives.
Now that Su Chen's identity was confirmed, the Heavenly Gang Immortal King felt a surge of interest.
“Now is not the time.”
Just as the Heavenly Gang Immortal King was about to grab Su Chen's location, a hand reached out and stopped him.
The owner of that hand… if Su Chen were here, he would surely recognize their true identity.
The Supreme Immortal King of Destiny Slayer!
He actually appeared here!
Upon seeing the Supreme Immortal King of Destiny Slayer's appearance, the Heavenly Gang Immortal King withdrew his outstretched hand, displeased, and said, "Lord of Calamity, you shouldn't have obstructed me, doing such an unwise thing."
The Heavenly Gang Immortal King actually addressed the Supreme Immortal King of Destiny Slayer as...Lord of Calamity!
The Lord of the Fourth Calamity didn't die; through some unknown means, he actually replaced the Supreme Immortal King of Destiny Slayer!
If this news were to spread, it would likely cause an unimaginable upheaval.
The 'Supreme Immortal King of Destiny Slayer' spoke: "He is already being watched by some other Immortal Kings in the Main God Space. If he were to die unexpectedly, it might lead to the exposure of you and me."
"Isn't what you seek the vacant, sole Immortal Emperor position? If your plans for Quasi-Emperor cultivation go wrong, wouldn't all your efforts be in vain?"
The Heavenly Gang Immortal King fell silent upon hearing this.
Four Celestial Kings joined forces to besiege the Lord of Calamity. In that battle, he directly assisted the Lord of Calamity in killing two Celestial Kings and then had the Lord of Calamity replace the Supreme Lord of Fortune. His aim was simply to cooperate with the Lord of Calamity to obtain 'that item' from the Main God Space.
The Lord of Calamity knew what the Celestial King of Heavenly Gang wanted.
He agreed to cooperate with the Celestial King of Heavenly Gang!
He wanted to use the Celestial King of Heavenly Gang to conceal his true identity and slowly begin his preparations behind the scenes to regain his former power.
After the Celestial King of Heavenly Gang left, the Lord of Calamity glanced in confusion in the direction Su Chen had come from… What kind of secret did this person hold that almost made a being like the Celestial King of Heavenly Gang risk exposing himself?
After looking for a long time, the Lord of Calamity still couldn't detect anything unusual.
"Never mind…"
The Lord of Calamity's figure disappeared. Without the Celestial Kings' suppression, Su Chen could once again find his way back to the Main God Space.
Having escaped death, Su Chen was not happy.
He single-handedly slew three True Immortals, and simultaneously regained his former wisdom and the two paths of the Human Emperor—four immortal paths in total. Among all the True Immortals, he was an absolute giant!
However, Su Chen knew that there was still an insurmountable gap between a True Immortal giant and an Immortal King.
If the Heavenly Gang Immortal King so desired, he would be doomed. Su Chen didn't believe the Heavenly Gang Immortal King hadn't noticed what had happened earlier. His identity as the leader of the Immortal Alliance couldn't be hidden, yet the Heavenly Gang Immortal King hadn't chosen to attack him—this was not good news!
"What exactly is the Heavenly Gang Immortal King plotting behind the scenes?"
Su Chen lowered his eyes.
The Heavenly Gang Immortal King hadn't immediately killed him, so there must be something more important holding him back!
"I can't go back to the Main God Space."
If he went back, the identity of the Immortal Alliance Leader would definitely be exposed.
Su Chen's figure gradually disappeared.
........
Across the Heavens
With the news of the Immortal Alliance Leader's return, the forces of the heavens gradually forgot about the Fourth Calamity.
The Immortal Alliance Leader... the culprit who swept through two great wars across the heavens, causing the deaths of thousands of True Immortals in a short period of time, was even more fearsome than the wave unleashed by the Fourth Calamity.
However, after the Immortal Alliance Leader's return, he seemed to have vanished, never to be seen again.
No matter how much everyone investigated, they couldn't find any trace of the Immortal Alliance Leader.
This made everyone begin to doubt whether the Immortal Alliance Leader's return was real or not.
At this moment, Su Chen was with Dongfang Yunxing.
Galuo Immortal Lord had already been killed again by Dongfang Yunxing, and the power of Galuo Immortal Lord was gradually assimilating with Dongfang Yunxing, advancing further to the level of a True Immortal Giant.
“Master…you mean, you suspect that the Lord of the Fourth Calamity is not dead?”
Dongfang Yunxing looked at the result Su Chen had deduced using the Gate of Truth with disbelief.
He had heard of the battle of the Fourth Calamity.
However, he was being watched by Galuo Immortal Lord at the time and knew little about it.
But what Su Chen said—that the battle even involved the Immortal King level—made Dongfang Yunxing realize the cruelty of that great battle…yet even so, the Lord of the Fourth Calamity was still alive!
Su Chen’s expression was complicated: “I hope it’s not like that…otherwise, the heavens will face an even more terrifying calamity. The calamity unleashed by the Immortal Alliance back then may not even be one-tenth, one-hundredth, or one-ten-thousandth of this calamity!”
Hearing his master’s exaggerated description, Dongfang Yunxing’s heart tightened.
Dongfang Yunxing knew that few things in this world could cause his master to lose his composure, let alone lose it like this!
"Master, the Lord of the Fourth Calamity isn't dead? Is he really that terrifying?"
Dongfang Yunxing was puzzled.
Su Chen nodded heavily.
He had another thought he hadn't shared with Dongfang Yunxing.
If the Lord of the Fourth Calamity wasn't dead.
Then who exactly was the Supreme Immortal King who returned to the Main God Space to announce the completion of the annihilation of the Fourth Calamity?
The mastermind? Or... the Lord of the Fourth Calamity?
This thought sent chills down Su Chen's spine, and he couldn't even bring himself to speak it.
No matter who the Supreme Immortal King was, it wasn't a good outcome.
........
The news of the Immortal Alliance Leader gradually faded into legend, even being dismissed as a rumor spread by some idle True Immortal.
Epochs passed.
The heavens were peaceful.
It was an eerie peace.
This tranquility was shattered by a single message!
It seems that some 'item' has gone missing from the Main God Space!
And that's not all!
The Transmigrator Alliance, the Heavenly Dao Academy, the Hall of Kings... many king-level lineages have simultaneously gone mad, all because of the loss of this 'item'!
The river of time and space swirled in chaos, and ancient palaces standing along this timeline crumbled and sank.
Countless parallel timelines were compressed into a single, long line!
A Celestial King…this wasn't just one Celestial King who was alarmed!
Each Celestial King belonged to a different timeline. If more than five Celestial Kings descended on the same timeline, it might cause spacetime to collapse under their strain…and now, far more than five Celestial Kings had descended!
Even if spacetime was compressed to withstand the descent of multiple Celestial Kings…the number of Celestial Kings who were alarmed was simply far too many!
Countless beings across the heavens perished.
Su Chen and Dongfang Yunxing looked up.
Above, beyond the reach of space, were indistinct silhouettes.
Dongfang Yunxing's throat was dry: “Master…this calamity seems even more terrifying than you predicted!”
