Chapter 1152: Star God and Moon God

The Heaven Smiting God Emperor arrived, followed by the Guardians and Adjudicators. The atmosphere at the Conferred God Stage completely solidified; no one uttered a sound, and all eyes were fixed on the Heaven Smiting God Emperor.

As one of the Four God Emperors of the Eastern Divine Region, a figure standing at the pinnacle of the primal chaos, he should have commanded universal might, his aura descending like a god. Yet, no matter how one looked at the Heaven Smiting God Emperor, he appeared merely an aging man with a benevolent face, utterly ordinary in both temperament and appearance. Anyone encountering him on the street would not give him a second glance, and his face would be instantly forgotten.

What defines shedding extravagance and returning to simplicity? Perhaps the Heaven Smiting God Emperor was the perfect embodiment of this.

Among the Four God Emperors of the Eastern Divine Region, the Heaven Smiting God Emperor, though not the strongest, was the most respected. One crucial reason for this was that the Heaven Smiting Ancestor was acknowledged by the Heaven Smiting Pearl, which continued to guard the Heaven Smiting God Realm for generations after his passing, with the Heaven Smiting God Realm consistently upholding righteousness.

For countless years of the Heaven Smiting Realm's existence, the Adjudicators had punished countless villains from the God Realm and saved numerous star realms, earning generations of gratitude and reverence from innumerable beings. If, in the eyes of all beings, there was only one sacred land in the Eastern Divine Region, it would undoubtedly be the Heaven Smiting God Realm.

If the other three King Realms—the Brahma Monarch God Realm, Star God Realm, and Moon God Realm—were to be targeted by enemies, the beings of the Eastern Divine Region would generally just watch the spectacle and try to steer clear. However, if anyone dared to oppose the Heaven Smiting God Realm, it would undoubtedly provoke widespread outrage, akin to defying the heavens themselves.

Thus, the silence and solemnity at the Conferred God Stage were not born of fear towards the Heaven Smiting God Emperor, but rather of profound respect.

The Heaven Smiting God Emperor raised his head and smiled slightly: "Honored guests have arrived; please reveal yourselves."

"Hahahahaha!" No sooner had the Heaven Smiting God Emperor's voice faded than a resounding laugh echoed through the air. Amidst the laughter, winds and clouds surged in the sky, and a dazzling star-like brilliance shone brightly upon the world, as if a celestial body had descended.

From the other side, a cold snort simultaneously resounded. The sky parted, and a circle of light, not dazzling but pure white and sacred, shone down from above, like a brilliant moon in the sky.

One star, one moon, instantly swallowed all other light, causing everything in the world to dim under their intertwined brilliance.

"This is...""The Star God Realm and Moon God Realm have arrived!!"

From the star and moon light, figures slowly emerged. The person stepping out of the star light was tall and slender, appearing middle-aged, with a faint smile on his face, but eyes like cold stars that no one dared meet for even a moment.

The Sovereign of the Star God Realm, one of the Four God Emperors of the Eastern Divine Region—the Star God Emperor!

The person emerging from the moon light appeared much younger. He was exceedingly handsome, and his divine bearing, seemingly on par with the Heavenly Dao, inspired endless awe, yet retained a hint of gentleness.

The Sovereign of the Moon God Realm, one of the Four God Emperors of the Eastern Divine Region—the Moon God Emperor!

The two God Emperors appeared at the exact same moment, clearly intending to rival each other.

The Star God Realm and Moon God Realm had always been at odds, a fact well-known throughout the Eastern Divine Region.

Especially the monumental scandal in the Moon God Realm thirty-some years ago, and the demise of the Heavenly Wolf in the Star God Realm, had further exacerbated the relationship between the two realms. If it weren't for this "major event concerning the future of the Eastern Divine Region," which was of great importance and mediated by the Heaven Smiting Realm, neither realm would have been willing to appear at the same event, let alone sit at the same table.

Upon seeing the Moon God Emperor, those present, despite their awe, naturally recalled that "scandal." Back then, his grand wedding to Yue Wugou, who possessed the "Immaculate Divine Body," was widely publicized, known even beyond the Eastern Divine Region. However, the grander the event, the more devastating the subsequent "scandal" became.

Yue Wugou disappeared, then returned having lost her primordial yin. The dignified Moon God Emperor suffered a humiliation that no ordinary man could endure, becoming a laughingstock throughout the entire Eastern Divine Region...

Only a little over thirty years had passed, so naturally, no one had forgotten. Yet, in just over thirty years, the various star realms had surprisingly received invitations to his upcoming grand wedding. Moreover, the scope of his invitations far surpassed that of his previous wedding, immediately sparking countless speculations and suspicions.

The invitation clearly stated the Moon God Emperor's new wedding date: after the Profound God Convention.

Only two short months remained until then, yet no one knew who this "new" wife of his was.

With the Star God Emperor and Moon God Emperor having arrived, two more God Emperors had descended. The atmosphere at the Conferred God Stage grew even colder, and no one dared to take a full breath.

Although the Profound God Convention had always been the Eastern Divine Region's grandest profound way event, the Four King Realms were usually not permitted to participate. Therefore, apart from the Heaven Smiting Realm, which hosted the convention, the other three King Realms would at most send some elders or palace masters with a group of young disciples. Beings like Star Gods and Moon Gods rarely appeared, let alone three God Emperors.

Today, three of the Four God Emperors had already arrived. The Brahma Monarch God Emperor, leader of the Four God Emperors, was also very likely to arrive. This day's events were certainly of immense significance. The meaning of this Profound God Convention was, without a doubt, far beyond their expectations.

Everyone's hearts grew heavy with anticipation and excitement. What an immense honor it was to be part of such a grand event, to personally witness all Four God Emperors gathered!

The Star God Emperor and Moon God Emperor simultaneously greeted the Heaven Smiting God Emperor and gracefully took their seats. Yet, there was no exchange of words between them, not even a momentary glance; they completely ignored each other's presence.

However, the star and moon light in the sky did not dissipate. Numerous figures emerged from it, silently taking their seats. These individuals, much like the Heaven Smiting God Realm's Guardians and Adjudicators, possessed such terrifying auras that even a fleeting glance would send chills through one's entire body.

For profound practitioners who had never truly seen people from the King Realms, today was the day they truly understood how terrifying the King Realms were. It wasn't just the Four God Emperors; it seemed anyone associated with the term "King Realm" was an incomprehensible monster.

"Those individuals seated beside and behind the Star God Emperor... could they be... the legendary Star Gods?" an elder Ice Phoenix disciple asked, his voice trembling. He had only casually glanced in their direction, but a sudden feeling of falling into an abyss had seized him, making his blood run cold and his body tremble uncontrollably.

"Indeed," Mu Huanzhi nodded, lowering his voice significantly. "Four of the Twelve Star Gods and Four of the Twelve Moon Gods have actually arrived. This is unprecedented."

"No, including the Star God Emperor, five Star Gods have come," Mu Bingyun corrected.

The Star God Emperor was also one of the Twelve Star Gods of the Star God Realm, bearing the power of the Heavenly Stellar Star God. And as the Star God Great Emperor, he was undoubtedly the strongest among the Twelve Star Gods.

The Twelve Star Gods of the Star God Realm were absolutely supreme existences in the Eastern Divine Region, equivalent to "True Gods." Legends about them existed in every corner of the Eastern Divine Region, and each legend was a true myth.

With such beings truly present, the top profound practitioners from various star realms trembled with fear and awe, with few daring to meet their gaze for long. However, Mu Bingyun's beautiful eyes gazed steadily for a long time before she finally withdrew her gaze, sighing softly: "Heaven Slaughter Star God is not here."

However, it no longer mattered. After all, Yun Che had already...

"Oh? Does Bingyun perhaps wish to see the legendary Princess Jasmine?" Mu Huanzhi, suspecting nothing, chuckled. "The Heaven Slaughter Star God isn't here, but the Heaven Poison Star God has arrived. Truly one of the two most fearsome Star Gods; even a distant glance instills fear."

Mu Bingyun cast a distant glance at the Heaven Poison Star God, whom Mu Huanzhi spoke of, but she immediately averted her gaze.

Seated proudly behind the Star God Emperor was a tall woman. She wore a verdant green silk dress that was almost semi-transparent, subtly revealing her alluring body. The silk sleeves covering her arms and shoulders were completely transparent, showcasing her radiant skin and jade-like lotus root arms.

Her ample bosom swelled prominently, with only a thin layer of gauze loosely covering its lower edge. More than half of it trembled exposed, a deep cleavage pristine white and utterly tantalizing.

Her lower body was draped in a verdant green silk dress that shimmered with a faint glow. It was astonishingly short, with the hem barely reaching the upper thighs. Her long, beautiful legs were almost entirely exposed, slender, smooth, and as fair as snow, inciting an undeniable urge to embrace her.

Countless eyes fixed on the woman, drawn like iron to a magnet, unable to look away. Their blood ignited instantly, boiling and surging wildly. Their gazes grew hazy, some even drooling, almost forgetting they were at the Conferred God Stage, consumed by an overwhelming impulse.

The woman, however, showed no change in expression, allowing her largely exposed, jade-like body to be gazed upon by stunned, infatuated eyes. Her lightly pursed red lips held a faint, ambiguous smile, like a lotus blooming in water, her face exquisitely alluring.

Accompanying disciples from the Snow Song Realm and Flame God Realm, whose gazes met hers, instantly became transfixed, their faces flushing as if their souls had been lost. But immediately, a booming shout erupted within their minds: "Don't look at her!"

On the Conferred God Stage, countless young profound practitioners were struck as if by lightning, abruptly turning their gazes away. Filled with shock, they dared not spare another glance at the woman in the green dress.

"Master... Master, sh-she... who is she?" a Phoenix Sect disciple asked, drenched in sweat and still shaken.

"She is the Heaven Poison Star God," a Phoenix elder whispered.

"W-what? She... she's actually..." The Flame God Sect disciples trembled with shock, inhaling sharply.

This enchantress, dressed more provocatively than a courtesan and more seductively alluring than a devil, was actually one of the two most terrifying among the Twelve Star Gods.

The one rumored to be able to poison an entire star realm with just a frown or a smile, the Heaven Poison demon known as "Hell Mandara"—Yuluo!

"Then... the immortal-like lady beside the Heaven Poison Star God, is she also a Star God?" the Phoenix disciple whispered again.

Yuluo lowered her head, leisurely toying with her jade-like fingers, seemingly unconcerned with anything. Yet, she did not overshadow all the splendor around her.

To her right was a breathtakingly beautiful woman, like a goddess from the heavens. She lacked Yuluo's alluring charm, but her face was flawlessly beautiful, far surpassing Yuluo's. However, her exquisitely divine features were filled with cold aloofness, and her beautiful eyes were devoid of emotion.

Her figure was as tall and slender as Yuluo's, with waist-length black hair, serene as a maiden. Dressed in a pink gown, she exuded even more spiritual aura, along with a touch of... cuteness? Beside Yuluo, she was like a celestial being to Yuluo's demoness. Many profound practitioners felt as if an immortal had descended; while amazed, they also felt inadequate, their minds filled with wild fantasies.

"To be seated with the Heaven Poison Star God, he is naturally a Star God." The Phoenix elder suddenly offered a faint smile: "However, he is no immortal maiden. He is... the Heavenly Demon Star God!"

"Ah..." The Phoenix disciples were dumbfounded, their throats bobbing, speechless for a long time.

The Heavenly Demon Star God...

Anyone who had heard the legends of the Twelve Star Gods knew that the Heavenly Demon Star God, "Rose," was a... man!

"The Heavenly Demon Star God is the strongest in mental power among the Twelve Star Gods. If he wished, a single glance could turn you into an idiot. Don't look around aimlessly and court trouble."

"Yes." The Phoenix disciples bowed their heads deeply, not daring to glance at even the other Star Gods again. They understood more and more that these were beings utterly beyond their comprehension.

"To the left of the Heaven Poison Star God, that lean-looking person is the Heavenly Gang Star God, Shen Hu, the strongest in physical power among the Twelve Star Gods."

"And the elderly man seated beside the Star God Emperor, he is the Heaven Origin Star God, Tumi, the oldest among the Twelve Star Gods, already forty thousand years old. He is the sage of the Star God Realm. When the Star God Emperor had not yet inherited the power of a Star God, Tumi was his profound way mentor. Thus, the Star God Emperor has always held him in extreme respect. He is also the only Star God qualified to sit on equal terms with the Star God Emperor."

Throughout the Conferred God Stage, elders either transmitted their voices or whispered, introducing these figures to their juniors.
