Chapter 532 -532-Alarming the Eternal Powerhouses

Chapter 532: Chapter532-Alarming the Eternal Powerhouses

Supreme Saint Miral continued explaining, "Aside from the Eternal powerhouses native to this universe, other Eternal powerhouses would likewise never allow them to do such a thing. Once a Universe Core appears, it means that the universe is about to enter the final stage of destruction."

"Moreover, the final Universe Core can only be refined before the universe reaches the end of its tribulation cycle."

"That is why even Eternal powerhouses find it extremely difficult to obtain such a treasure."

"But once they obtain a Universe Core, they will undoubtedly be able to refine even more terrifying treasures from it."

After listening to Supreme Saint Miral’s explanation, realization appeared on Daniel’s face.

"So that’s how it is."

"I never expected universes to actually possess something like a Universe Core."

"Just from the name alone, you can tell it’s anything but ordinary. And the conditions required to refine one are unbelievably harsh."

"You have to sacrifice every living being and everything within an entire universe, while also ensuring the refinement doesn’t take place under the watch of the Eye of the Universe."

"And if the Universe Core has to be refined before the Cosmic Tribulation descends..."

"Then what Leader Oscar said makes sense."

The Holy Golden Mountain was currently the strongest faction in the Myriad Gods Universe.

However, the Eternal powerhouse who had founded the Holy Golden Mountain had already fallen long ago.

Naturally, outside factions had begun coveting everything the Holy Golden Mountain possessed.

Even though Holy Golden Mountain Leader Oscar was a peak T9 Oracle-grade powerhouse, those factions still practically treated him as though he did not exist and dared to attack openly.

The Eternal Tribulation Palace, for example, had shown no fear whatsoever.

Most likely, they wanted to take this opportunity to weaken the native factions of the Myriad Gods Universe and lay the groundwork for eventually seizing its Universe Core.

And the Eternal Tribulation Palace was definitely not the only faction seeking the Universe Core.

At that thought, Daniel suddenly became excited.

It was easy to imagine—

The Myriad Gods Universe was about to descend into complete chaos.

And the scale of that chaos would be no less severe than what had happened in the Chaosverse.

Daniel suddenly asked,

"Is the Holy Golden Mountain preparing to relocate?"

Grand Oracle Shamir sighed.

"Most people are preparing to leave."

"Many Oracle-grade powerhouses also intend to abandon this universe."

"For example, Wujiu Oracle-grade plans to head to the Chaosverse."

"As for the other Grand Oracle-grade powerhouses, I don’t know where they intend to go, but most of them will probably leave as well."

At this point, Grand Oracle Shamir’s tone suddenly became subdued.

"When the time comes, I may also go to the Chaosverse."

"Another faction has offered me terms that are extremely difficult to refuse."

"They’re willing to give us an entire galaxy as a place to settle."

"I know you probably control a galaxy of your own as well."

"You made an excellent move there."

"You can simply relocate your entire faction directly into your own territory."

"That makes things much easier for you than for the Holy Golden Mountain."

Daniel frowned as he listened.

Suddenly, he asked,

"Senior Shamir, are you really planning to give up on the Myriad Gods Universe?"

"Why don’t we stay?"

"If the Holy Golden Mountain leaves, an enormous amount of resources will be abandoned here."

"These are the resources of an entire starfield."

"There are countless planets under its control, and the resources are practically endless."

"If we go to the Chaosverse, every galaxy already has a Grand Oracle-grade powerhouse overseeing it."

"Instead of abandoning all these resources and going somewhere else to fight others for scraps, wouldn’t it be better to stay here and continue developing what we already have?"

Grand Oracle Shamir fell silent.

Clearly, Daniel’s words had moved him somewhat.

After a while, however, he said,

"You may be right."

"There are indeed some powerhouses within the Holy Golden Mountain who are unwilling to leave."

"They would rather remain here and wait until the day the Cosmic Tribulation Source finally descends."

"But Faustus..."

"Once you enter the starry sky, there are many things beyond your control."

"I cannot remain here."

Daniel nodded.

There was nothing more he could say.

After all, he could hardly tell Shamir that he had a mission involving the disciple of an Eternal powerhouse coming to challenge him.

And that once Daniel defeated that disciple, he would be able to ask the Eternal powerhouse to remove the restriction affecting the Myriad Gods Universe.

Besides—

Even if Daniel told him, what difference would it make?

People’s hearts had already scattered.

If the Holy Golden Mountain was destined to fall apart, then so be it.

But for Daniel—

This was actually an opportunity.

"If I consolidate the forces the Holy Golden Mountain leaves behind, my overall power will increase tremendously!"

Daniel’s heart stirred.

Grand Oracle Shamir looked at him.

"You intend to stay?"

"That’s fine."

"I was actually about to inform you that the Elder Council will convene tomorrow."

"If you decide to remain here, I doubt anyone will have any reason to oppose it."

"They may even compensate you."

That was exactly what Daniel wanted.

He had a mission to complete.

He needed to remain in the Myriad Gods Universe and wait for the challenge that would soon arrive.

More importantly—

Earth was still in the Myriad Gods Universe.

Daniel had no intention of leaving.

Since remaining behind would allow him to consolidate the faction’s forces while also receiving compensation—

Why wouldn’t he do it?

Daniel had never expected things to develop this way.

He had only just obtained the Supreme Gold-Grade Token—

And the Holy Golden Mountain was already standing on the verge of dissolution.

Leader Oscar had been ambushed and killed by the Eternal Tribulation Palace.

The Eternal Tribulation Palace had paid the price of losing a T9 Oracle-grade powerhouse—

But Oscar had still fallen.

Before his death, Oscar had even left behind a final message.

The Holy Golden Mountain had to relocate as quickly as possible.

They needed to leave this dangerous place.

One had to understand—

The Holy Golden Mountain had always been an extremely loose organization.

Its overall faction was formed from countless independent forces.

None of them truly belonged to one another.

So when news comparable to the sky collapsing spread throughout the faction—

Many powerhouses immediately withdrew from the Holy Golden Mountain and began seeking their own paths.

Those who remained were divided into two groups.

The larger faction advocated returning to their respective homes and going their separate ways.

The smaller faction could not bear to abandon the Myriad Gods Universe.

They were willing to remain here until the day the Cosmic Tribulation Source descended.

And so—

Two meetings would be held tomorrow.

The first was an Elder Council meeting that would determine the faction’s overall direction.

The second was a general assembly within the Alternate Dimension Realm, where everyone would decide individually whether to stay or leave.

Daniel bid farewell to Grand Oracle Shamir.

But at that exact moment—

A gift from the universe that only Daniel could perceive suddenly descended upon him.

Even Daniel froze.

"What’s going on?"

He sensed an unfamiliar and indescribable Strength pouring silently into every part of his body.

That Strength...

Was different from ordinary energy.

It possessed a unique, lofty quality.

A Strength that stood above all other Strength.

The Strength of the universe itself!

"A gift from the universe?"

Daniel was completely confused.

He could neither refuse it nor ask what was happening.

He could only passively accept it.

An unknown amount of time passed.

Only then did the universe’s gift gradually weaken before finally disappearing.

Daniel immediately examined the changes within his body.

Everything seemed normal.

No—

Wait!

"The Cosmic Tribulation Source inside my body is gone!"

Daniel was unexpectedly delighted.

Back in that mysterious spacetime, every participant had been forcibly implanted with a Cosmic Tribulation Source by the universe.

It possessed the ability to reduce a powerhouse to Tribulation Ash.

And that process of being reduced to Tribulation Ash could not be expelled by any Strength or law.

After Daniel left the mysterious spacetime, the Cosmic Tribulation Source had been sealed.

So he had simply ignored it.

He had never expected that after examining himself just now—

The Cosmic Tribulation Source had completely disappeared.

"It must be related to the universe’s gift."

Realization dawned on Daniel.

"The Cosmic Tribulation Source and the universe’s gift are both forms of the same cosmic Strength."

"Naturally, one can erase the other."

Daniel continued examining himself.

Then—

His expression changed dramatically once again.

"The black-shadow poison inside me is gone too!"

This was an even greater surprise.
