"By uniting the forces of the Secret Wilderness and leveraging the geographical advantages of the Star Dust Plateau, the other Ancient Gods will be hesitant to venture deep inside."
After hearing Zorn's explanation, the three Ancient Gods mulled it over and became increasingly convinced of the plan's viability.
After a moment of contemplation, Antisum turned to Zorn and Ossirion.
"First, we'll seal those two Cosmic Fissures, and at the same time, we'll invite the other Ancient Gods of the Secret Wilderness to join us."
"You two need to start consolidating the strength of the Upper Rank Gods."
"This attack on the two Divine Kingdoms, with the Upper Rank Gods as the spearhead, is bound to lead to heavy casualties."
"Therefore, every single Upper Rank God must have a Resurrection Ability—and it must be a powerful form of Resurrection."
"Otherwise, if they're killed fighting an Ancient God, a weaker Resurrection Power will simply crumble under the force of Cosmic Suppression. In the face of an Ancient God, a weak resurrection method offers no chance of revival."
"Yes, Lady Antisum!"
Zorn and Ossirion replied in unison.
With the conclusion of this brief, impromptu meeting, the Calamity Court Realm remained as peaceful as ever on the surface. But within the circles of the top-tier Upper Rank Gods, a storm was quietly gathering.

「Deep within the dark and profound Starry Sky Ancient Insect Path.」
The weighty Calamity Magic Ring and the Ancient Sacred Mark were interwoven.
As the tides of war and the era's Mythical Wave continued to swell, Zorn sensed a fluctuation, and within it, he could faintly hear the sizzling of sparks.
"SIZZLE SIZZLE SIZZLE..."
'The kindling of the Ancient Fire!'
Zorn, deep in his cultivation, felt his heart stir.
The ignition of the Ancient Fire wasn't an instantaneous event; it began with these ancient sparks.
Hearing the faint sizzle of sparks before the war against the Ancient Gods had even begun gave Zorn a flash of insight.
'My path to becoming an Ancient God is likely close at hand.'
"Zorn, everything is ready. Let's begin!"
The voice of the Chaos Ancient Goddess, Antisum, traveled through the Cosmic Magic Net.
'It's starting!'
Taking a deep breath and exhaling slowly, Zorn quickly moved to the Cosmic Altar.
On the Cosmic Altar, only one-fifth of the sacrificed Ancient Gods were left.
This remaining portion would be burned completely, becoming the critical power needed to suppress the two Ancient Divine Kingdoms.
In Zorn's hands, this slumbering Ancient God from the Jade Realm was finally fulfilling his greatest potential.
Chanting an ancient Cosmic Spell.
The Ritual Fire within the Cosmic Altar surged higher and more violently.
Simultaneously, Zorn began to mobilize the power of the Starry Sky Ancient Insect Path.
He combined the power of the altar with that of the Starry Sky Ancient Insect Path. With this, he intended to utterly crush the two Ancient Divine Kingdoms.

「The Star Remnant Magic Ring Tree.」
The Master of Star Remains, an Ancient God, was pushing against his Level cap.
Over the past few hundred years, he had assimilated a vast amount of Cosmic Essence, raising his Level from 33 to 34 and pushing all the way to the peak of Level 34.
Now, he was attempting to ascend to Level 35.
Once he reached Level 35, his power would reach a whole new tier, and everything would change.
After becoming an Ancient God, each increase in Level also brought a considerable boost to one's Cosmic Suppression.
If the Star Remnant Magic Ring Tree hadn't been wounded and its territory hadn't shrunk, he would have had a good chance of ascending to Level 35.
But now, his hopes of ascension were dwindling.
However, the strange Cosmic Fissure that had appeared in the territory of the Star Remnant Magic Ring Tree several decades ago gave him new hope for ascension.
Using a special method to peer into the future, the Master of Star Remains had discovered that this Cosmic Fissure would soon erupt with special resources.
If he could just obtain those resources, he still had a good chance of ascending to Level 35.
For now, all he needed to do was protect the Star Remnant Magic Ring Tree.
In the middle of his cultivation, the Master of Star Remains suddenly snapped his eyes open, a look of shocked disbelief flashing across his face.
It was immediately followed by a grim expression that spread across his features.
A terrifying power from deep within the Star Dust Plateau was once again bearing down on the Star Remnant Magic Ring Tree like a tidal wave.
The power of the Star Remnant Magic Ring Tree weakened visibly.
The territory it controlled also shrank drastically.
Although he had suspected that the damned Evil God might still have power in reserve to suppress the Magic Ring Tree, his expression still turned incomparably ugly when he saw it actually happening.
But what happened next filled the Master of Star Remains with both shock and fury.
Just as the Star Remnant Magic Ring Tree was being heavily suppressed by that terrifying ritual power and the power from the Starry Sky, a grotesque black flame began to burn rapidly within it.
'That damned Evil God... somehow, he actually managed to infiltrate the Star Remnant Magic Ring Tree.'
Having learned from the cautionary tale of the Jade Realm's Magic Ring Tree, he had spent years meticulously inspecting the interior of his own Star Remnant Magic Ring Tree.
Yet despite all his caution, that damned bug had still managed to invade the Star Remnant Magic Ring Tree, and he had been completely oblivious.
When the Magic Ring Tree was heavily suppressed, their own power as Ancient Gods was also affected to a degree.
But the Ritual Fire burning the Magic Ring Tree—that would inflict fatal and irreversible damage.
A spatial fluctuation rippled outwards.
The other Ancient God of the Star Remnants Realm quickly arrived at the top of the Star Remnant Magic Ring Tree.
It was Zelat, the Furnace Ancient God of the Star Remnants Realm.
"What's going on?"
Furnace Ancient God Zelat asked, his voice low and deep.
Furnace Ancient God Zelat was only Level 32.
