The evil witch BOSS just wants to develop in a low-key manner

Chapter 286 The Ancient War of Gods Begins!
After a thorough discussion among the four deities...

They immediately began to split up and take action.

The three ancient gods began dispatching their subordinates on secret missions to seal off cosmic rifts and to explore more cosmic rifts.

Zorn, on the other hand, tried his best to use the power of the Starry Sky Ancient Insect Path to explore potential cosmic rifts outside the Stardust Plateau.

Although Zorn agreed to the mission, he was well aware of the risks.

However, it would be difficult to conduct effective exploration outside the Stardust Plateau using the ancient worm tunnels in the starry sky.

However, since I've already agreed, I can only do my best.

While exploring the cosmic fissures in the outside world.

Zorn also intensified the reinforcement of the independent astral sector.

These independent astral regions are essentially completely cut off from the outside world once the crystalline worm bridge is severed.

Even if a cosmic rift erupts, the energy that vibrates back and forth will only be transmitted along the ancient worm path of the starry sky to the depths of space, and will not dissipate into the astral universe, much less be perceived by the ancient gods outside.

The only crisis point is...

If the cosmic rift were to erupt in a massive explosion, and Zorn had not yet ascended to the status of an ancient god, things would become quite troublesome.

Even if other ancient kingdoms don't come to cause trouble for Zorn.

But they will surely come to cause trouble for that Emerald Kingdom.

As long as they discover even the slightest trace of Zorn covering up the cosmic rift.

I'm afraid they'll soon be able to dig out all five cosmic rifts.

At that time... Zorn will probably face an encirclement and slaughter by a large number of ancient gods.

Fortunately, Zorn now possesses the powerful weapon "Starry Sky Ancient Insect Path".

Even though he was only at the level of a high-ranking god, he still had a certain ability to protect himself on the Stardust Plateau.

"The Cosmic Gem can transform a divine kingdom into a cosmic state."

"At the same time, the [Cosmic Gem] can also enhance the cosmic pressure of the gods."

"It can further enhance the compatibility between gods, ancient gods and the universe, and more effectively improve the condensation of rune rings."

"It can be said that each [Cosmic Gem] can cause a certain degree of minor transformation in an ancient god."

"And when enough cosmic gems are digested, a qualitative change will occur."

"But in any case, both the Cosmic Gem and the Cosmic Essence are extremely important."

"Over the past few centuries, through the sacrifices and extractions from the entire astral universe, I have absorbed a massive amount of cosmic source matter."

"The level cap may not have reached 40, but it's close enough."

"With that astonishing number of cosmic gems, once I advance to the Ancient God realm, my strength will increase rapidly."

"But... the threshold of becoming an ancient god is truly exceptionally difficult!"

Zorn, who had such thoughts in mind, shook his head slightly.

During the years he participated in the war, Zorn not only cultivated himself but also meticulously refined the conditions for advancing to the status of an ancient god, hoping to find an opportunity for advancement.

Although he was immersed in the mythical wave many times, he could never find an opportunity to activate his own path to advancement.

Through the Ancient Insect Path, one can experience the entire Stardust Plateau, inside and out.

In the time that followed, Zorn continued to participate in the wars against the two great divine kingdoms of Eternal Curtain and Star Desolation.

After all, this is currently Zorn's only hope of igniting the Ancient Flame and completing his advancement.

Meanwhile, the Disaster Court, under the command of the ancient gods, quickly completed the sealing of the four cosmic rifts.

As for the cosmic rifts outside the Stardust Plateau, Zorn explores them daily, but at the current stage, those rifts are still too weak.

Only when they grow a bit larger will there be hope of discovering them through the Starry Sky Ancient Insect Path.

Time flew by, and Zorn continued to cultivate and improve his strength.

However, the war between the two divine kingdoms has become somewhat difficult to advance as they approach the main body of the Tree of Laws.

The Kingdom of Disaster is also happy to see this.

After all, many powerful Holy Star Supreme Gods and Ancient Holy Mark Supreme Gods yearn to ignite their ancient flames through this war.

and.

Zorn has heard of many powerful high-ranking gods igniting their "ancient fire".

Igniting the ancient fire is the beginning of an opportunity for advancement.

…………

Deep within the dark and silent ancient insect path of the starry sky.

"breathe……"

Zorn, transformed into the form of the Insect King Curse, slowly swam through the depths of the Ancient Insect Path.

Although the depths of this ancient insect path were not completely refined by Zorn, one still felt a slight sense of suppression while traversing and swimming through it.

But Zorn still enjoyed meditating here.

External turmoil, the tides of the times, even the cracking sound of the cosmic rift growing.

They permeated Zorn's perception in a very quiet and subtle way.

Amidst the waves, Zorn relentlessly seeks an opportunity to ignite the ancient fire.

“Zorn…”

Faintly, Zorn heard a call from the outside world.

"call……"

With a light breath, Zorn slowly withdrew from his Insect King form.

Although he still couldn't find a breakthrough opportunity this time, Zorn remained as indifferent as ever.

They have been cultivating here in seclusion for hundreds of years.

He has tried many times.

Following the call, Zorn slowly descended into the projection of the Disaster Court Star Temple via the cosmic magic network.

We arrived at the temple hall.

The high god Osiris is waiting in the hall.

"Lord Osirion, your strength has improved considerably, and... I even sense that you have constructed quite a few ancient holy marks." Zorn looked Osirion up and down, slightly surprised.

"Haha... During this period, I killed quite a few of the enemy's high-level gods on the front lines, and naturally, I accumulated a lot of ancient holy marks. However, there are many people who have accumulated more than me."

"Even... two high-ranking gods in our divine realm seized the opportunity and ignited the ancient fire."

Did it ignite the ancient fire?
Upon hearing this, Zorn's mind was slightly shaken.

"Was it several ancient holy marks and high-ranking gods who ignited the ancient fire?"

"no!"

Ausilion shook his head.

"It was two high-ranking gods from the Holy Star who ignited the ancient fire."

"Although they seized the opportunity and ignited the ancient fire, these two high-level gods, one a 6-star and the other an 8-star, do not have a very solid foundation. Their chances of advancing to ancient gods are probably slim."

6 Holy Stars, 8 Holy Stars.

Zorn raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.

"At this Saint Star level, if one's foundation is insufficient, the hope of advancement is indeed slim."

"However, they did ignite the ancient fire after all, unlike us ancient gods, who couldn't even seize the opportunity to ignite the ancient fire."

The first step in the ascension of an ancient god is to ignite the ancient fire.

If even the ancient fire has not been ignited, then there is naturally no hope whatsoever.

However, even if the ancient fire is ignited, it still depends on the foundation of various aspects.

By borrowing the ancient fire and catalyzing and activating its multifaceted essence, it is ultimately possible to break through the sequence of superior gods and thus transcend the dimension of time to establish the sequence of ancient gods.

For other deities, the depth of their foundation is the key to their advancement.

But for Zorn, whose foundation was astounding, igniting the Ancient Flame was far more important. After all, Zorn knew of several ways to ignite the Ancient Flame.

If Zorn can ignite the ancient fire, his chances of advancement are quite high.

"By the way, Lord Ausilion, what brings you here today?"

After a moment of contemplation, Zorn looked at Osirion.

"Naturally, it's because of the negotiations with the two major powers."

"Ok?"

Zorn raised an eyebrow slightly.

After carefully experiencing the passage of time, he suddenly had some realization.

Forty or fifty years have passed since the moment the cosmic rift opened.

It's time to try negotiating with the two major powers.

"Isn't this matter the responsibility of the ancient god?"

Zorn paused for a moment before looking at Osirion and speaking.

"The Ancient God has made several contacts with the other party, however... the two great divine kingdoms of Eternal Curtain and Star Remains have refused to negotiate."

Refusing to negotiate?

Zorn frowned slightly.

"You know, they had already talked to us round after round before."

"We have the absolute advantage right now, and they're refusing to negotiate?"

"Yes!"

Ausilion nodded.

"And their attitude was quite firm."

"As for whether to continue the war or to stop here, the ancient god has said that it is up to Lord Zorn to decide."

"After all, you are the one who truly started this war."

After thinking it over carefully, Zorn looked at Osirion and said.

"Lord Osirion, I need some time to observe the entire Starry Plateau before I can make a decision."

"No rush. After all, this war has been going on for hundreds of years. A little more time won't make a difference."

"Ok!"

Zorn immediately focused his mind and immersed himself in the Starry Sky Ancient Insect Path, exploring the area outside the Stardust Plateau.

During this period of seclusion, for the first twenty years or so, Zorn would use the Starry Sky Gu Insect Set to explore the astral region outside the Stardust Plateau every six months.

For over twenty years, they couldn't find Zorn, so they only conducted an investigation once every year or two.

The last time I investigated Zorn was about five years ago.

Zorn explored very carefully at that time, but still could not sense those cosmic rifts outside the Stardust Plateau.

But this time it's a little different.

As soon as he used the power of the Starry Sky Ancient Insect Path to radiate outwards, Zorn vaguely sensed the nodes where space was torn apart appearing and disappearing.

"After decades of growth, the cosmic rift has finally emerged."

"what?"

As he carefully listened, Zorn uttered a sound of doubt.

Twelve cosmic rifts are an inevitable number.

The five fixed ones in the independent astral sector have been locked down by Zorn.

Then there are 7 more free cosmic rifts outside.

There are 4 within Stardust Plateau.

Therefore, there must be 3 outside of Stardust Plateau.

At this moment, outside the Stardust Plateau, Zorn only sensed two.

"One is still missing?"

Feeling the sensation, Zorn rubbed his temples.

After a moment of thought, he looked at the regions of the two great kingdoms, Eternal Curtain and Star Desolation.

“My senses must encompass the location of the cosmic rift, but it is not within my perception range. Therefore, this cosmic rift must have appeared in the area of ​​the two great calamity kingdoms near the Tree of Laws.”

"The area near the Tree of Laws is so vast that even my Cosmic Magic Network cannot penetrate it; it is an area that cannot be detected."

"After such a long time, they must have discovered the cosmic rift, or even explored the special characteristics of that cosmic rift."

"As the cosmic rift expands, the profound and magnificent aura emanating from its depths will be extraordinary."

“In the past, they would negotiate with us.”

"But now, they're not negotiating with us anymore. I'm afraid... this sudden cosmic rift has given them a certain illusion."

"Heh... You want to bet on the cosmic rift, hoping something good will appear inside and you can turn the tables?"

"Since you insist on not surrendering, then you should use the ritual fire to ignite the two great magic ring trees, start the ancient god war, and try to ignite my ancient fire."

Zorn had already made up his mind.

"Lord Ausilion."

Zorn looked at Osirion, who was waiting.

"I am prepared to launch a full-scale war, and strive to destroy the two great magic ring trees in this battle. If possible, I will also kill these one or two ancient gods."

"In addition, we, the higher gods, are also prepared to participate in the war against the ancient gods if possible."

"After all, the participation of high-ranking gods in the war ritual to eliminate ancient gods is a grand ancient ritual, and it is also an excellent opportunity to ignite their own ancient fire."

"Originally, we kept these ancient divine kingdoms hoping they could play a role, but since the two ancient divine kingdoms are unwilling to make peace, keeping them would only bring us danger, so there is no need for them to exist."

The goal is to completely destroy the vast ancient divine kingdom and thoroughly unify the Stardust Plateau.

Zorn's explanation gave Osirion a slight jolt.

You should know that this is something that even the three ancient gods could not do.

With Zorn's efforts, it is almost complete in just a few hundred years.

"Lord Osirion, go and contact those top-tier high gods. I'll go and contact the three ancient gods right now. The ultimate battle on the Stardust Plateau is about to begin!"

Zorn had barely finished speaking.

"Hahaha……"

The deep voice of the ancient dark god Eduardo resounded throughout the hall.

As an ancient god, Eduardo is now able to control the cosmic magic network through the Disaster Court Ring.

Although not as in-depth as Zorn, it still allowed me to learn about many aspects of the information.

He overheard Zorn and Osirion's conversation perfectly.

"Is it finally time to go to war with Eternal Curtain and Starslings?"

At this time, Ecuador's Persian fighting spirit was higher than ever before.

Zorn followed the sound and instantly understood why the ancient dark god Eduardo was so happy.

His level has increased again, and he is now at level 33.

"I've long disliked those two divine kingdoms. This time, we must wipe them out in one fell swoop."

Eduardo Persia clenched his fist and growled.

"Oh? Is war finally about to begin?"

At this moment, the projections of the other two ancient gods also descended.

First, the Disaster Court is growing stronger every day, and they desire the unification of the Stardust Plateau more than any other deity.
