Twins - 425

As the trillion years before the restrictions were lifted finally passed by, there was no obvious movement from the destruction race.

On the other hand, the righteous faction moved out in full force. Plans set up over hundreds of quadrillions of years were played out as they hunted down members of the destruction race. 

Although the righteous faction managed to kill billions of destruction race members and cultivators who were working with them, no gods or true gods of the destruction race were killed.

If the righteous faction could think of a plan, so could the destruction race.

While the members of the righteous faction were out searching, millions of explosions took place, wiping out large areas and many people.

However, this was the only movement from the destruction race.

The righteous faction was completely unaware of the internal conflict that had been going on within the destruction race. As the restrictions fell, chaos broke out in the destruction race.

It was all on account of the two new true gods not ascended from the true god ascension arena. They had cultivated to the true god realm by themselves, and as a result, could go even further, just like Ying Xiong.

These two were living beings with immortal godking rank 10 meridians. They were two twins who went by the names Lin and Zhenwu, the children of the king of the destruction race.

They had arrived long ago, and Zhou Fan's order had allowed them to reveal themselves without being killed or even harmed in any way.

Yao Mun had simply watched as allegiances changed. After all, the two were the rightful leaders of the destruction race. They even have off a pressure similar to the king of the destruction race's, though it was much weaker and did not demand complete subservience like Lin Zhenwu's had.

In Yao Mun's mind, it didn't matter what the twins did. Once the restriction fell, he would simply kill them. It would not be difficult. He was at the 5th level of the true god realm, while both of them were only at the 2nd level of the true god realm.

Even if they were a level above him, it would not take that much effort to kill them.

However, when the restrictions had passed, Yao Mun found that they had suddenly disappeared along with almost half of the destruction race.

Only 10 of the 21 destruction lords had stayed behind, with the high lord of arrays being one of them.

When Yao Mun discovered this, he laughed. While he went out to search for them, he did not try too hard. Still, many plans could no longer be put into motion.

"Dogs can run away, but whether or not they can seek revenge is another question." Yao Mun had stated.

He did not take them seriously at all.

The biggest loss was the high lord of thought. He had been a very valuable asset, but the high lord of arrays was even more so.

The entire destruction race was intelligent, not just the high lord of thought. The only people who could not be replaced was Yao Mun and the high lord of arrays.

Yao Mun would need to spend a while changing things, and the righteous faction experienced a nice moment of peace, though that made them feel even warier despite not knowing anything.

It was hard to operate in the open when the enemy could hide in the dark. During the 250 quadrillion years, there had been 50 true gods raised by the true god ascension arena.

Along with them, there had been two beings born with immortal godking rank meridians. One had immortal godking rank 10 meridians, while the other had immortal godking rank 9 meridians.

They had already cultivated to the 2nd level of the true god realm by themselves. They were also the disciples of Ying Xiong.

Zhou Fan looked down, and around him was leaf as usual. Leaf was now at the 5th level of the space shattering realm.

Zhou Fan was not fazed by the fact that he had only increased by a realm and 5 levels in around 300 quadrillion years, or by the fact that a space shattering realm cultivator had lived for more than 300 quadrillion years, but he was shocked by the fact that Leaf had not gained too much intelligence.

While his thinking capacity was similar to a childs, he was still a plant and lived like it. He was content around Zhou Fan or swaying in the wind.

Zhou Fan had no idea how powerful Leaf was and never bothered finding out. As long as he was alive, Leaf would never need to fight unless he wanted to.

After all, Leaf was his greatest disciple. Even Heaven could not compare in his opinion.

Thinking of Heaven, Zhou Fan's idea for a universal consciousness had not changed. He still wanted it to happen, but he had decided to postpone it until the fight against the cosmic dao.

He had wasted so much time he could have spent cultivating just sitting around and honing himself in preparation for the battle. He had created countless techniques in addition to his previously countless techniques.

Unfortunately, he had no clue what he was going up against. The cosmic dao was not some beast or humanoid creature. It was an existence that had likely existed since the creation of the universe, and he had no clue what form it would take.

He also had no clue if it could even think. 

It was a complicated thing to think about, and Zhou Fan was not a member of the destruction race. He did not like plotting or planning for battles or against others. His only planning was put into the creation of worlds.

Once again changing his thought process to the creation of worlds, Zhou Fan felt like it was time to move to the second stage on account of the righteous faction's inability to find any major members of the destruction race and the destruction race's internal conflict.
