As time passed, the entire Spirit Nidus eventually learned of the matter.
Seraph Yi Shang had also returned to the Daquan Domain. It would take him a great deal of time to recover from his injuries.
When he heard about Threeheaded Fiend’s suicidal actions regarding Boundless, the Seraph just sneered. However, he also could not make sense of the actions of the Tianyuan Megaverse group. Just what was their goal? Did they intend to challenge the entire Spirit Nidus? They could not possibly be that foolish. Also, why had the High Seraph not intervened yet?
What kind of agreement had the High Seraph reached with the Tianyuan Megaverse?
If it was simply a matter of removing all who refused to submit to the High Seraph, that would be one answer, but if the High Seraph delayed too long, others would grow suspicious. What was that man thinking?
There was a domain in the Spirit Nidus known as the Phantom Reach Domain. It was a place that specialized in assassinations, and it was also home to the Three Assassins.
The Phantom Reach Domain was a very powerful domain, and it was even on the same level as the Daquan Domain. Despite its lack of Seraph-level powerhouses, no one dared to underestimate the domain. There were rumors that an ancient monster who had once assassinated a Seraph still lived there.
The Phantom Reach Domain served a unique purpose within the Spirit Nidus; it acted on behalf of the Ascendant Hall to eliminate those who were marked for death. Additionally, the domain was responsible for maintaining the Black Spirit List.
The Black Spirit List was a list of those who had been marked for execution. The people on the list could be killed by anyone and were considered the entire megaverse’s enemies.
Additionally, these Phantom Reach Domain’s targets’ threat levels were measured by how many black spirits they were given.
"Another job has been submitted to investigate Boundless."
"Turn it down."
"Boundless is shrouded in too much mystery and is too dangerous. Everyone wants someone else to test the waters. While our Phantom Reach Domain may work as assassins, we aren’t suicidal. The Daquan Domain has already been ruined, and even the Three Assassins were caught up in that mess."
"We don’t know all the details of what happened at the boundary, but we do know that Boundless came from there. The Three Assassins have completely disappeared, and the High Seraph has to be somehow involved in the matter, even if we don’t know how."
"Reject all jobs that target Boundless. Also, don’t recklessly assign black spirits to anyone who is on that ship."
"Understood."
"This Grandverse Manor is rather intriguing. What has given Yuan Qi the courage to rebel?"
The Gate of Laws stood in the Domain of Laws, which was regarded as a sacred site for the Spirit Nidus. It was the source of every sequence base, though no one outside of the Gate of Laws knew how many unfinished sequence bases were being worked on. It was said that the domain also served as the final resting place for many sequence powerhouses who were knocking on death’s door.
It was once said that, if the Spirit Nidus ever faced a major crisis, the Gate of Laws would summon a great number of ancient monsters who were believed to have died long ago. This domain safeguarded the last sliver of hope for the megaverse.
The Spirit Nidus and the Tianyuan Megaverse had differing cultivation systems. If the two megaverses stood on the same level, then the Spirit Nidus’s system would give rise to a far greater number of powerhouses. However, the Tianyuan Megaverse’s strength lay in their future potential. While that future was full of uncertainties, no one could predict what kind of powerhouses might arise.
However, the two megaverses were not on equal footing at the moment, as the Spirit Nidus was far ahead of the Tianyuan Megaverse. Their fear of the Tianyuan Megaverse’s future potential was why the Spirit Nidus had plotted against them so long ago by targeting the Origin Progenitor and stifling the megaverse’s cultivation methods to prevent it from meeting its full potential.
This had doomed the Tianyuan Megaverse to give birth to far fewer powerhouses.
Throughout the countless years, the Tianyuan Megaverse had endured endless war as humanity fought against the Aeternals. During that same period of time, the Spirit Nidus had experienced a smooth and uninterrupted development, which had resulted in a terrifying disparity in the number of powerhouses between the two megaverses.
Not even those like Progenitor Xi, who sought to incite war between the Tianyuan Megaverse and the Spirit Nidus, failed to fully understand the gap between the two. Yuan Qi was also ignorant of the difference due to his long absence, just like Zhan Yan and the others.
It was possible that not even the Gate of Laws’ Zhan family was aware of just how many powerhouses still lived.
Such people were on the brink of death, clinging to their last breaths for the sake of completing a sequence base.
The recent turmoil in the Spirit Nidus had caused some of those ancient monsters to start awakening.
"Some brat sent word saying that old guy Yuan Qi has gone rogue and wants to oppose the High Seraph."
"Your descendants know that you’re still alive?"
"I just picked that up from their offerings, of course. Next time they leave an offering, I’ll jump out and scare them to death, hahaha!"
"Old man, even when you’re about to die, you still have such a twisted sense of humor. Still, that old geezer Yuan Qi must be insane. Do you understand just how powerful the High Seraph is? Even at our peak, we couldn’t oppose him. What makes Yuan Qi think that he can succeed? He isn’t that much stronger than us, is he?"
"How can you say that without blushing? Did you forget how his Dao Bell crushed you and sent you fleeing in panic back then?"
"Eh? You’re also alive, old man?"
"Hey, don’t rat me out and make me look bad! We’re already half-buried in the dirt. Watch what you say."
"Hmph! Yuan Qi dares to endorse what is forbidden? He’s opposing the entire Spirit Nidus, as well as the High Seraph himself. We might just have to go out and teach him a lesson."

"Go do whatever you want then. We want to continue sleeping."
"Do your thing."
"Just go and do it."
"All of you, hmph! So short-sighted. You’ll have all the time in the world to sleep once you’re dead."
"Just leave already."
"Just go"
"Fuck off!"
