Chapter 1 The Water World
The Skywater World, a world submerged by oceans, with only a handful of islands remaining, the rest being vast seas.
All beings born in the Skywater World were aquatic, and the Dragonfolk were the largest race, akin to how Humans were in the Nine Provinces World.
At this moment, in the sacred hall of the Dragonfolk in the Skywater World, Luo Tian was discussing an important matter with two other mid-tier invincible powerhouses of his clan.
A matter that could change the Skywater World.
"Luo Tian, is what you say true? Is there truly such a unique Great Dao? One that can invade the Dao space and devour the power of the Great Dao?"
A powerhouse with a pair of dragon horns on his head asked, his eyes flashing with brilliance.
"Indeed, this is something I personally experienced. The Great Dao of that Human from the Nine Provinces is definitely a unique existence in the void universe. Such a Great Dao will surely lead to the strongest path in the future," Luo Tian said, his face filled with unwillingness.
Originally, he could have kept this secret to himself. If it weren't for the appearance of Gu Kuangdao and the Sea God, he might have already mastered that peculiar Great Dao.
Now that the person had been saved by Gu Kuangdao, his chances of capturing him with his current strength were extremely slim.
This was why he had brought this matter to the other two powerhouses of his clan.
He wanted to persuade them to act with him and capture that Human from the Nine Provinces!
"If that's truly the case, this risk is worth taking!" the old man with dragon horns said in a deep voice.
"We must first inform the people of the Divine Realm about the whereabouts of those from the Nine Provinces, and then seize the target amidst the chaos!"
"Impossible! If we do that, and if the Divine Realm powerhouses discover that person's special Great Dao, then we will have no opportunity," Luo Tian immediately retorted, casting a dissatisfied glance at the old man with dragon horns.
The reason he hadn't disclosed information about the group from the Nine Provinces to the Divine Realm powerhouses was to obtain Li Xiaotian's special Great Dao.
Now, the old man with dragon horns proposing such a suggestion was clearly intending to give this opportunity to the Divine Realm!
"Then what are your thoughts? With the strength of our Skywater World, we are no match for those from the Nine Provinces. Their strongest, Yuan, is a peak sixth-tier invincible. Such a powerhouse can only be dealt with by high-tier invincibles. The chances for the three of us to obtain the Great Dao you mentioned from the hands of those from the Nine Provinces are too slim." the old man with dragon horns analyzed.
"That's right. The Skywater World has sixteen invincible beings, but only three of us are mid-tier powerhouses. We are not the opponents of those from the Nine Provinces," another Dragonfolk powerhouse chimed in, his brow furrowed.
"You two are overcomplicating things," Luo Tian said unhurriedly, his eyes flickering.
"The powerhouses of the Divine Realm's Demon Clan have been relentlessly pursuing those from the Nine Provinces. This is our opportunity!"
"We only need to secretly take away the person who possesses the special Great Dao when those from the Nine Provinces and the Demon Clan powerhouses are engaged in a fierce battle."
"He's just a trash-tier second-tier invincible. During the great battle, the Demon Clan powerhouses won't even notice him."
"That's one way, but if the Divine Realm powerhouses discover it, then our Skywater World will be in danger," the old man with dragon horns frowned.
"That's why I've come to discuss this with you," Luo Tian said, then waved his hand to seal off the surrounding space, preventing anyone from eavesdropping.
Luo Tian looked up for a moment before continuing.
"My plan is, after the three of us capture that Human, we will immediately declare the Skywater World's secession from the Divine Realm's rule."
"Of course, there is the risk of betraying the Divine Realm, but the rewards far outweigh the price of betrayal. Think about it, if any of us three becomes a high-tier invincible powerhouse, then even if we confront the Divine Realm head-on, the Skywater World will have the confidence to challenge them!"
"That is a Great Dao that can lead to the strongest path. Do you two really wish to remain willing slaves to the Divine Realm forever?"
Upon hearing Luo Tian's words, the two fell silent.
How could they not have thought of what Luo Tian had conceived?
"If we do this, we can't keep the one stationed in the Skywater World!" the old man with dragon horns said, pointing to his head, a killing intent flashing in his eyes.
He was referring to the Divine Envoy stationed in their Skywater World by the Divine Realm, who was also a mid-tier invincible powerhouse.
"My esteemed sirs, the reason the Divine Realm is the overlord of the Western Domain is because the Lord of the Divine Realm is the founder of the Incense Great Dao, and also a top-tier ninth-tier invincible powerhouse," Luo Tian said unhurriedly.
"And now, a special Great Dao, not inferior to the Incense Great Dao, has been born. Once our Skywater World obtains it, we can achieve the same status that the Divine Realm currently holds in the future."
