Behind Yuan Le, the hall, though not as majestic as the Evil Temple, continued to tremble gently.
Tan Xiaotian employed arcane arts to decipher the rules, yet he was unable to discern what was happening inside the hall.
Nevertheless, the resurrection of a deceased Beast God with a tenth-level bloodline truly astonished him.
If this were possible, wouldn't all the Beast Gods loyal to Yuan Le essentially be immortal?
Should they fall in battle beyond the stars, they would be resurrected with just a drop of remaining life essence, retaining their tenth-level bloodline and all their memories intact. This would embolden every Beast God of the Wasteland to lay down their lives for Yuan Le without hesitation.
Could this be the source of Yuan Le's confidence, the enchantment of the Beast God Temple?
Tan Xiaotian's gaze grew profound as he envisioned transforming the Dark Realm into a dominion of shadows, inviting the Dark Anima to inhabit it and nurture dark creatures.
Once the prerequisites were met, he would forge his own Temple of Darkness, evolving those born of shadow into Gods of Darkness.
The Dark Anima would thus escape the shackles of the Abyss's Primal Soul, attaining freedom and liberation.
And he, Tan Xiaotian, would ascend to rule as the sovereign of the World of Darkness, carving out his realm from his exclusive territories.
"A temple of special significance; if the Dark Phoenix dares to construct it, then naturally, so can I!"
As Tan Xiaotian sneered inwardly, he couldn't help but admire the Dark Phoenix's ambition. The deeper his understanding of this formidable adversary from the Everlands, the more daunting she seemed.
Before Zhiya, the Dark Phoenix, had even ascended to the eleventh level, she was already gathering rare treasures from the Everlands and beyond, laying the groundwork for her Phoenix Shrine.
Zhiya must have been supremely confident in her eventual rise to the eleventh level, hence her early preparations and her efforts to gather followers in the Wasteland.
The frog, the fire phoenix, and the Iron-winged Bird, all Beast Gods from the Wasteland, had become her loyal lieutenants.
Similarly venturing into the Wasteland, the leader of the Dawnbringers sought a source of light, only to meet a dire fate.
The Dark Phoenix not only retreated unscathed but also reaped a significant bounty, a testament to the supreme being of the evilkind in the Everlands, who indeed surpasses Cardo in strength. Truly, she is the second most powerful entity under Bertain.
"Dark Phoenix..." mused Demon Lord Tan Xiaotian, his gaze settling on Yu Yuan's eleventh-level Solar Spirit. "Rumors suggest that the Dark Phoenix's formidable support lies behind the rise of the human race. There appears to be a profound bond between them, yet it's curious why they are at odds like oil and water."
"Secular Bird Queen?" Tan Xiaotian stroked his chin, his expression turning curious.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A dazzling river of blood was abruptly halted by a swath of ethereal demonic clouds.
"Wait a moment," Yuan Le stated with composure.
The Beast God Temple behind him continued to tremble slightly, nurturing something within.
Soon after, the deceased Hawk God Soderis, a tenth-level flamingo, Bloodstorm Beast God, Tectonic Ripper God, and Starbeast God emerged one by one from the Beast God Temple. Before their emergence, a pebble broke away from the mountain, swelling rapidly and undergoing a wondrous metamorphosis through the cosmic energy the mountain had seized.
With the formation of each new star, a Beast God was resurrected and stepped forth from the Beast God Temple.
The mountain, entrenched in the Wasteland's Primal Blood and using the life essence displayed within the Beast God Temple, facilitated their revival in the Origin Realm.
After a short time, the mountain ceased its miraculous display, and no additional Beast Gods emerged. Many Beast Gods had perished, yet only a select few were resurrected by Yuan Le.
It seemed that the mountain's dominance in the Origin Realm was limited; the energy it had consumed from various Astral Domains was only sufficient to create a limited number of stars and to resurrect an equal number of Beast Gods.
The remaining Beast Gods, such as the Stormwraith God, Bloodscale Beast God, and Kylin, required the mountain, a visitor from another realm, to continue siphoning the Origin Realm's power.
As the Astral Domains of the Origin Realm withered into barren voids, the mountain harvested more energy, enabling the continuation of this cycle.
"It's still not enough. We lack the necessary power and must continue to collect the energy of this realm."
Yuan Le, with a tone of regret, addressed the resurrected Beast Gods, "Please, take your seats. The Beast Gods who fought by your side will manifest after you. The Origin Realm is vast, with numerous Astral Domains rich in energy. We have ample time to gather strength and bring them back."
"My lord, we are grateful for your benevolence."
"We are all aware that we can be resurrected after falling in battle."
"There's no need to rush."
The first group of revived Beast Gods responded in either the human tongue or the ancient demonic language.
Next, at Yuan Le's signal, the resurrected Beast Gods soared down to occupy the new stars.
"So, it is as I suspected," Yu Yuan murmured, as a flood of related memories streamed in from his original body, which was diligently constructing the Soul Altar in the Ashlands.
He instantly grasped the truth and the intricacies involved.
The reason Lord of Ruin, Yuan Le, had not resurrected the Beast Gods in the Wasteland was to step into the Origin Realm and utilize its resources and power for this purpose.
In realms such as the Abyss, Origin Realm, and Wasteland, beings of the tenth level have a set limit.
The Wasteland could only sustain just over a hundred Beast Gods at most.
Similarly, the mountain encircled by stars held only a little over a hundred at its peak.
For the Beast Gods waging war in the Origin Realm, once their hearts shattered, confirming their demise, their corresponding stars would burst into fragments beside the mountain.
Each star's explosion signified the fall of a Beast God.
Conversely, each new star signified the emergence of a Wasteland Beast God.
These additional stars could represent either newly born or resurrected Beast Gods.
Breaking through the fundamental rule of a world, with a limit of around a hundred, was an immense challenge.
Of course, there were ways to shatter this rule. The most direct approach was to invade other worlds, seizing their resources to surpass this boundary.
Yuan Le seized the opportunity when the Great Demon God Bertain and the exalted Titan Spinosaurus were still recovering from their ferocious battle, launching his first invasion into the Origin Realm with considerable success.
He harnessed the immense energy of the Origin Realm, which led to the birth of additional Beast Gods in the Wasteland and also significantly increased his own power.
During the Titan Spinosaurus's campaign in the Abyss, it appeared to have been a boon for the Origin Realm, paving the way for the emergence of more tenth-level powerhouses.
Each world, with its unique total of cosmic energy, the number of emerging clans, and the novel and diverse rules, has the capacity to create a varying number of supreme beings.
Yuan Le wreaked havoc in this realm, harvesting the Life Seeds of numerous races. By utilizing this mountain to obliterate the Astral Domain's converging forces, he could bestow a great benefit upon the Wasteland, substantially enhancing its collective strength.
