Break out of the Seven Realms Heavenly Court...

Lin Hongfeng was also startled by this audacious idea. Even though the Seven Realms Heavenly Court's core important forces were not currently there—as the focus of the current era had shifted outside the dojo, with figures like Earth Mother Qingteng and Emperor Qi traversing the lands beyond the chaotic heavens and roaming through various realms—its defenses remained extremely strict. While there were no Tenth-tier Saints, the number of Ninth-tier Dao Attainers was countless.

“Break out… Can't we discuss this properly?” Hera quickly said, “Given your status, there's no need to be so extreme…”

Messiah, however, shook his head. “If I am resurrected in this era and discovered, it will be difficult to act again! Only by launching a direct surprise attack and breaking out can I contend for certain things and find a glimmer of hope… You don't have to help me; after all, the cost of defecting from the Seven Realms Heavenly Court would be too great for you.”

Lin Hongfeng and the others pursed their lips. The cost was indeed unimaginably high. After all, if they defected from the Chongming Heavenly Court, it would mean abandoning their Saint avatars in other heavens and universes, including those who had just achieved breakthroughs. During the Myriad Heavens and Worlds era, having a Saint quota in one of the heavens was incredibly valuable. To abandon all of this now would be equivalent to leaving directly, becoming wanted by the largest 'heavenly power' in the Chaos Sea… It would be akin to betraying their bloodline, the human race, and all of humanity!

“What exactly do you intend to do?” Lin Hongfeng grew completely serious and whispered, “Will what you plan to do be unacceptable to the Ultra-Ancient Gods?”

Unacceptable to the Ultra-Ancient Gods…Then, why did Hermes die in the past? Did his death also hold some terrifying mystery? Everyone in the Martial God Palace felt their hearts pounding. Could it be that the Ultra-Ancient Gods were also silently observing, or even acting, in the shadows? They felt a deep sense of unease. The Ultra-Ancient Gods had always been sacred, pure, and great beings in their eyes, without a single flaw. But now… Hermes' death in ancient times must conceal some truth.

“Those with different paths cannot plan together,” Messiah said calmly, sitting on a large rock in the Martial God Palace and looking up at the sky. “What do you think of this era?”

Lin Hongfeng pondered, then earnestly replied, “It's very dangerous. The suppression from the Natural Heavenly Dao is too great for us. Our human race, despite trying to take over the universe's Heavenly Dao, ultimately falls short. We cannot exert their full power. Although we currently hold the advantage, we…”

Lin Hongfeng, Hera, and the others, being from the Martial God Palace, were not like the native heavens outside; they also knew of the Creator Gods' existence and possessed a great deal of knowledge. They were somewhat pessimistic. Moreover, even if they could block the Natural Heavenly Dao, which was a great trend, and become the rulers of the 'Myriad Heavens and Worlds,' there was still another true great trend awaiting: the beings of the Chaos Sea.

“They are staking everything on this—the great changing trend of the Destroyer God's arrival, the Myriad Heavens and Worlds—to find a way to survive… But I am different. I do not believe that altering the great trend of the universe's future can succeed.”

“It's impossible to change; it was impossible from the very beginning…”

Messiah's voice remained incredibly calm. “The great trend of the universe is a torrent of destiny… To go against the heavens is simply impossible. The best approach is to conform to the great trend and find a glimmer of survival for our bloodline beings within it!”

Lin Hongfeng's expression immediately tensed. It meant that the Ultra-Ancient Gods and others had formulated the plan for the Destroyer God's arrival, aiming to change the future of destruction by introducing variables… And Messiah, who was Hermes in the past, had strongly opposed it…

She felt she had vaguely grasped something, and with a slight sigh, she said, “Messiah, in ancient wizarding terminology, means 'savior'… Perhaps you truly calculated the future long ago, and your arrival in this era is the true meaning… But can we truly find another path to survival for ourselves? To stand with the Creator Gods, go with the flow, and seek survival by conforming to the trend…”

Lin Hongfeng only felt this was a terrifying, ancient calculation. She sighed, admitting she didn't fully understand it. Looking at the others beside her, she knew some of them were tempted. “The Martial God Palace cannot be without a master; I cannot leave… But if you wish to follow him, I can pretend not to have seen it.”

Ultimately, someone had to remain in the Martial God Palace. After all, it was a vast power with a massive organization, boasting tens of millions of disciples across the Seven Realms. If she, the master of the Martial God Palace, chose to betray them, the remaining disciples would be difficult to protect and manage, and they would be implicated. Choosing to pretend not to see was already the greatest concession. Even so, she feared she would still face punishment, but she trusted that Pan Yuxian and Earth Mother Empress's connections would protect her.

At this moment, Hera took a deep breath, stepped forward, and asked, “Uncle Messiah, is there truly a way out in the future you speak of, one that conforms to the times?”

“Is there hope?” Mu Yuling also asked.

Emperor Messiah held immense significance for their Martial God Palace; one could even say that without Messiah, there would be no Martial God Palace… They could follow him, forge new hope, build another ark for their bloodline, and preserve a flicker of their heritage… However, there had to be a path of hope and a clear goal. Since they did not agree with the Ultra-Ancient Gods' path, they too needed to find a way out for the 'bloodline beings'.

“That is the great trend; we cannot stop it. A praying mantis trying to stop a chariot will surely perish. My proposition is: it is better to blend in and become part of the new beings,” Messiah said softly.

Hera was startled, shocked. “Possession?”

Become a chaotic creature? But how could they become chaotic creatures? This was impossible! They were fundamentally different species from different systems; possession should not be possible.

Messiah, however, said calmly, “Everything impossible can be made possible! In the Age of Dharma Decline for bloodline beings, their bloodlines were supposed to be completely gone, yet they still manage to preserve their bloodlines in the form of the Myriad Heavens and Worlds outside the universe… Therefore, there must be a way to achieve impossible possession… We can disguise ourselves as their kind.”

“How can we disguise ourselves?” Hera asked. “When the true Age of Dharma Decline arrives, we will lose all our power, be reduced to mortals, and shouldn't even have the power to disguise ourselves.”

“They have no bloodline, so we should also have no bloodline,” Messiah said softly, looking at the sky, as if seeing an old companion from the Dao. He continued:

“That person believes that the glory of our bloodline beings must not be lost, and that our bloodlines should be preserved even at the cost of death… But I think that's too extreme. His character is too idealistic and too domineering. For us to continue, we ultimately have to sacrifice something, such as… our very root.”

Abandoning their bloodline, severing their bloodline!

Hera and Mu Yuling trembled all over. What audacity! To be driven to the brink of death and then find a way to live! It seemed that Hermes' compromise back then, seemingly weak, was in reality another form of extremely strong decisiveness—a desperate gamble. Two ancient beings stood at opposing ends, yet both chose a path of no return—a journey with no coming back!
