Chapter 686 Making A Name
There were numerous cities across the Starwalt planet where Cain currently resides. Many could only be considered average by Holy Land standards. Quite a few could stand out on their own for being exceptional.
But there was only one particular city revered and respected by all. Its region took up hundreds of thousands of miles. Gleaming Dao lights exuded out every inch of this city.
And the streams of divine cultivators flowing in and out gave the surrounding atmosphere an ethereal feeling. As if one was truly stepping into a place where the immortals and divine discuss with each other.
This place was called Starnight City.
No Holy Land resided within this city. There was only one City Lord manor that none dares to causally provoke. And a massive Holy Intelligence Network that has a tremendous connection across the entire Central Starfield!
Any big news that could affect anything will go through Starnight\'s intelligence network.
Although, for days now, there really wasn\'t news to shake up everyone. Things were at a seemingly stable piece.
Geniuses and Divine Decree Lords arouse. But not many of them were particularly outstanding enough to quite literally shock the entire world.
That is, until today.
On this day, a battle recording ring was spread all throughout the Central Starfield.
Every peak Holy Land received news of this. To the Heavenly Martial Way, the Heavenly Sword Sect, and other peak Holy Lands.
What was displayed on the recording ring shook all who had watched souls.
At this time, within one of the numerous estates of Starnight\'s intelligence network, many held expressions of absolute awe as they stared into the battle recording ring.
Some couldn\'t even blink their eyes, not wanting to miss a single detail of the battle.
But not everyone was in awe.
The Astral Demon and Moon Order groups looked ashen.
The Astral Demons in particular turned paler than a ghost while watching the recording.
One of them murmured in growing horror, "This-this...but how? He\'s only in Divine Star, but couldn\'t be stopped by any one of them? Lord Shao...damnit!"
"Shit. Not only had he humiliated us so badly, he\'s also protected by the Lightning Rocs! Just where the hell did he come from?!"
Indeed, what was shaking everyone\'s souls was the recording of Cain utterly dominating all extreme geniuses and Divine Decree Lords!
No matter what. Whether it was his causal killing or complete suppression of Lord Shao, who once had an unbeatable record, Cain\'s prowess was far too horrifying.
An extreme being like this could not just appear out of thin air. Thus, all wanted to figure out just where the hell his origin lies!
"Could-could he be a secret genius from the Heavenly Great Worlds? But but that wouldn\'t make sense. Why hide something like this or let go of him? And for that matter, not even the Heavenly Great Worlds can produce a Divine Star expert superior to Holy Kings!"
"Is there even an inheritance that can give some such talent? Is he really so lucky? This man must have some sort of extreme secret on him!"
Everyone was fervently discussing. Many are completely enthralled by this mysterious genius.
And it was at this time that a high elder from the Heavenly Martial Way Holy Land spoke up. His Primal Dao essence subtly silences the crowd.
Many brought their attention to him as he stated, "Perhaps his origins aren\'t unknown as one would believe. It\'s highly likely he could be a Divine Mortal."
\'Divine Mortal?!\'
Many eyes were open wide in pure shock.
Just what was a Divine Mortal?
One of the most fearsome geniuses in the entire universe!
Not a single one of them will ever grow up to just be extreme geniuses. They directly stood far above even the Divine Decree Lords.
However, the fable of Divine Mortals is almost long forgotten. Rarely, if ever, had one appeared since the far-distance eras.
However, the longer these divine cultivators gave it thought, an idea began to emerge. "Say...a year ago, wasn\'t there news about some disturbance of extreme geniuses down in some lower realm? I heard that the Heavenly Great Worlds were stirred."
"Yea...for the first time in a long time, the Heavenly Great Worlds have taken an interest in something other than themselves."
The idea was close to rising. The dots were beginning to connect. However, all thoughts never came to fruition.
Not when a rippling Dao power encompasses the entirety of Starnight city!
The laws of this Dao essence suppressed everything within the universe!
It didn\'t matter that Starnight city expanded out for hundreds of thousands of miles. Nor that it held the faint protection of its own Heavenly Venerate.
This unfathomable Dao power was able to suppress even other Heavenly Venerates!
"Wh-what power! Just which ancestor is making their appearance?" The Heavenly Martial Way high elder was forced down to his knees. But through the power of his Dao principles, could he just barely talk.
As for the rest within the manor and across the entire Starnight city, whoever that wasn\'t a powerful Primal Sovereign grandmaster directly prostrated to the ground.
They all were truly ants in front of an unfathomable spiritual god.
Any movement of any Heavenly Venerate would be enough to cause tremendous storms. Especially if such an expert were extremely powerful among Heavenly Venerates.
Thankfully, for everyone else, this Heavenly Venerate didn\'t come here for hostility. She majestically floated above Starnight city, her rays of immortal light drowning out all color from the sun.
Pure pride bloomed on her face. With a declaration that shook the heavens to their foundations, she said, "To all whose listening and recording, I, Azure Thunder of the Lightning Wind Holy Land, have an announcement to make. The one you all are watching is named Cain. And I am young Cain\'s Dao protector! All those who seeking trouble with him will have to answer to me. That is all."
Instantly afterward, the whole world returned to normal. The immortal lights and phantom of Azure Thunder vanished.
However, her words still linger in the atmosphere. Many were shaken to their core.
Only Heavenly Venerates can declare to the universe that they are Dao protectors. Who else but they have the power to look down on everything from the top of the very universe?
With a Dao protector, Cain has an even more terrifying background than before. It wouldn\'t be a question if a Heavenly Venerate would protect him.
But more if who wants to cause trouble with him will have to face the terrifying wrath of Azure Thunder!
The Heavenly Martial Way high elder slowly shook his head. "Out of them all...of course, it has to be Azure Thunder. A previous generational talent who is on the Divine Decree Lord ranking for Venerates! Really, only the Heavenly and Quasi Great Worlds can talk to that boy on an equal footing."
His words boomed into everyone else ears. Especially the Moon Order sect and Astral Demons.
Things were spiraling far out of control. Changes were coming and both Holy Lands had no idea what will come or how to react.
A sinking sensation continually pricked at their souls.
...
A few days passed quickly .
The outside world was quite in an uproar. The news of Cain and his Dao protector made tremendous ripples all across the God Galaxy. Reaching to the lower realms and even the Heavenly Great Worlds!
More than ever did divine cultivators wanted to glimpse upon Cain\'s true form.
But naturally, Cain didn\'t bother with useless public appearances. He already has his attention used for more important matters.
