Solanky stepped out of the third forbidden space portal looking somewhat miserable; the moment he did so, there was a beeping sound coming from the wristband. Solanky tapped on the wristband a message popped up before saying, "Congratulations on your breakthrough. You are now eligible to leave the newbies continent to join the senior disciples and have also passed the trials and been able to survive in the forbidden space for a long time and will be awarded with ten million points."
Solanky crushed the jade slip, and he was teleported directly to the hall of the Sky Hybrid Sect's master. Solanky knelt on one knee and greeted the three hall masters. The red-haired woman quietly observed Solanky and asked, "Is what Cilia said true about you being targeted by that old man called Zenom?"
Solanky nodded and explained everything to the three sect masters up to the part where Lord Zenom's hand grabbed the corpse and vanished. The three sect masters frowned and asked Solanky what that corpse looked like. Solanky tapped on his wristband, and a video of the corpse being snatched played in mid-air to them. Zuloch, seeing this, was shocked and stammered, "That's… That's the corpse of a powerful ancient-devil god from eighty quadrillion years ago. Not good. Is Zenom trying to possess it and break through to the creation and destruction level?"
The red-haired woman responded by saying, "Yes! With the temperament of Zenom, I think he has already begun the repossession, and it is likely that he has a 60-90% chance of succeeding, and if he does, we of the god-realm, especially the sky hybrid sect, will face the consequences because we agreed to seal him there and forced him to guide the younger generations of the god-realm for billions of years." Solanky, hearing this, was shocked because he thought Zenom sneakily entered the space or was in an agreement with the sects.
The three sect masters started to broadcast the news on old man Zenom together with the footage. The various sects of the god realm were all in a state of shock and panic because the moment old man Zenom broke through after repossessing the body of the ancient devil-god, it would be calamitous for the various sects of the god realm.
In a separate dimension in the lower realm, a figure sat down cross-legged within a large hall that was isolated from the outside world. The figure had long red hair with two curved horns, a pointed ear, a crystal-clear face, and smooth skin with no blemish, and he had golden pupils in his eyes. He looked majestically beautiful and elegant, but at the same time, he gave off a terrifying pressure that could make the sects of the god realm bow to him. This figure was none other than old man Zenom, who had merged 70% with the corpse of the ancient devil-god. He opened his eyes and said, "As expected of the strongest race beneath the source gods, my power rose sharply from the eighth-dimensional god to the tenth-dimensional god in just six days.
I feel this isn't my limit yet, and the crucial step is accepting and inheriting the memories of this being, which I estimate will take me ten thousand years to perfectly accept and meld my skills with it. The god-realm will be spared for ten thousand years then the moment I step out of seclusion, I will reign terror in the god-realm."
Back in the god realm, the various sect masters had all met at the residence of the Sword Heart Sect's Master, which was located at the edge of the god realm. The sect master of the Sword Heart sect was called Sword-Heart Saint by the disciples and juniors of other sects, and his fellow sect masters called him Sword-Heart. Sword-Heart stood from his chair and addressed the sect masters in the hall, saying, "We all know why we have met here; now, with this problem in the god-realm, the devils and demons will use that opportunity to deploy spies from the demon-realm into our god-realm to observe our moves and also plant markers in the various universes of our god-realm to make their infiltration smooth the moment Zenom starts wreaking havoc in the god-realm."
The sect master of the Sky Hybrid Sect stood from her seat and said, "I suspect the Bloody Sea. Their disciples mysteriously vanished after the trials, and we all share history with that old man, but let's put that aside. We have to ramp up our defensive barriers and send more spies to other regions of the god-realm to carry our markers so that we can neutralize any escalations from the demons and other entities." The sect masters of the sects in the god realm came to the conclusion that they would send out their disciples who were above the elementary god level out of the sect to serve as envoys and hidden guards to the various star fields of the god realm.
All the sect masters vanished and left the edge of the god realm to their various sects to make arrangements for the departure of the disciples into every universe, star field, galaxy, and planet or continent.
Sword Heart stood at the edge of the god-realm and sighed as he looked into the distance. His vision pierced through the layers of space and time and landed on a huge palace, and in the place a being sat on a throne. The being revealed a sinister smile as he felt the gaze of Sword Heart land on him, and he stared back at Sword Heart.
The sect master of the Sky Hybrid Sect appeared in her large form and sent a message to all the disciples who reached the high-god level and above. Solanky was walking around the city of the seniors together with Cilia and some other disciples who passed the trials. They came to a square where a large screen was fixated in the skies. One of the disciples tapped Solanky and Cilia to look at the screen. An important notice was displayed on it, urging the disciples to check the virtual accounts for more information.
Solanky and the others check their virtual profiles and find out that all beings above the elementary gods except those at the level of god of gods were now placed in various galaxies in the god realm to act as spies and eliminate any demon race spy or being that had infiltrated the god realm.
Solanky read through the information and found out that he was in the same group with Cilia and four other disciples from their batch, and they were placed in a galaxy called the Blue Ice Region. The Blue Ice Region had six thousand life planets, and it was six hundred million light-years away from the Sky Hybrid Sect, and they were to get ready to leave in three days.
The system asked each group to vote for a leader through the system, and the mission details and other important information would be planned with the various group leaders and later relayed to the team. All the team members of Solanky chose him to be their leader, as they all witnessed Solanky's survival skills during the trials. The upper echelons arranged for spaceships to convey the teams to their various allocated zones.
The big day arrived with countless ships suspended above the senior disciples' continent, ready to pick them to their various destinations. Solanky shared his current location with his teammates, and after a few minutes, they all converged from different directions to where Solanky was standing. Solanky smiled at them and said in a friendly tone, "I am Solanky, your team leader for this mission, and as your team leader, I want to know your names and nicknames so that it will be easy for us to get along, so you will start by calling me the ghost of the void, or G.O.V. for short." Cilia cut in and said, "Ouuuu… ghost of the void flashy." The other teammates all laughed. Cilia said, "Just call me Tippy Toes or Tee for short." One of the disciples walked out and said, "I am called Marcus, but you are all allowed to call me Thunder King or T.K. for short." The others introduced themselves too; the ship that was to take them to the Blue Ice Region appeared directly above them.
Solanky looked at them and said, "From today, Tee, T.K., Star God, Beast God, Blade Emperor, and Light Seeker, we are comrades in life and death, and our team is formed to stand the test of time. We have two ladies on our team, and we will protect them till our last breath because they took the bull by its horn while other ladies didn't." Solanky looked at Cilia (Tee) and Tasha (Light Seeker), nodded, and they also did the same.
The spaceship landed before them. Solanky turned and saluted his teammates, but Cilia said, "Ghost, chill; we are not going to war." The other teammates all burst out in laughter. Solanky said, "I thought that was necessary." He laughed too." They then boarded the ship and departed for the Blue Ice Region.
