Reason told the Ancient Immortal Lord that something was amiss.
He knew how he had managed to successfully steal the Plane Authority.
In fact,
Although he persisted, there had been no signs of success for a long time.
It wasn’t until his most recent attempt that he suddenly felt the Ancient Path of the Plane’s rejection of him decrease and weaken, and that decrease and weakening could be described as very sudden.
Oh no, it should be described as abrupt.
Without any warning.
He had no premonition whatsoever beforehand.
This was very wrong.
However, after years of bitter longing, his dream suddenly came true, and he was too excited at the time to ponder the Karma involved.
Now, after a fight with the Ancient Immortal Leader, all his frustrations had been vented, and he had calmed down considerably, only then did he realize what was happening.
And precisely at this moment,
He discovered that someone else, after him, was also about to successfully steal the Plane Authority. How could such a coincidence exist in this world?
If he didn't succeed, others didn't either.
If he succeeded, others would follow suit and also succeed.
Then where would his sense of superiority come from?
The Eternal Immortal Domain was only so large. If everyone successively managed to steal the Plane Authority, what would he use to pressure others?
Everyone would be top-tier Great Dao God Lords, and then everyone would also steal the Plane Authority. What would be the difference from everyone not having stolen the Plane Authority?
After his astonishment,
The Ancient Immortal Lord immediately decided to prevent the birth of a third person who would steal the Plane Authority.
“No more fighting!”
“We must interrupt the third person attempting to steal the Plane Authority. Furthermore, we must now join forces to suppress other Great Dao God Lords and absolutely not allow anyone else to successfully steal the Plane Authority.”
Listening to the Ancient Immortal Lord’s resolute tone, the Ancient Immortal Leader couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.
Indeed, human nature has always been this way.
Once he had painstakingly climbed to the peak of the mountain, looking down on all the smaller mountains, he didn't want anyone else to climb to the peak, and even started throwing rocks down the mountain.
However, he didn't mock the Ancient Immortal Lord.
Because he himself had always been doing this very thing.
From the day he successfully stole the Plane Authority, he had been monitoring the world through his Plane Authority, constantly guarding against other Great Dao God Lords stealing the Plane Authority.
It was just that too much time had passed.
And the difficulty of stealing the Plane Authority was too great.
Over the years, after he saw those who tried to steal the Plane Authority gradually give up in despair, he also relaxed his vigilance, believing that others could not succeed. This led to his oversight, allowing the Ancient Immortal Lord to exploit a loophole.
But because of this, it also made him raise his guard again.
He made up his mind that, apart from the Ancient Immortal Lord, he would never allow a third person to successfully steal the Plane Authority.
Even the Ancient Immortal Lord, though he succeeded due to his own oversight, once this matter passed and the world became peaceful, he would still find a way to strip the Ancient Immortal Lord of his Plane Authority.
Even if he couldn't strip it away, he would subdue the Ancient Immortal Lord until he prostrated himself at his feet.
However, that was a matter for later.
The most important thing now was to prevent the birth of a third Plane Authority holder.
Immediately,
The two quickly ceased their battle and turned their gazes towards the Ancient Path of the Plane, simultaneously mobilizing their respective Authorities of the Plane, converging in the direction from which the unusual fluctuations emanated.
They prepared to completely pinpoint the other party's identity and, in one fell swoop, suppress and kill them.
This would also serve as a stern warning to those Great Dao God Lords attempting to steal the Plane Authority.
The unusual actions of the two immediately aroused the astonishment of countless experts who were observing the great battle.
“What’s going on?”
“Why did they suddenly stop fighting?”
“Have they made peace?”
“Are the two powerful beings with the Plane Authority ready to jointly rule this Eternal Immortal Domain?”
“But how is that possible?”
“One mountain cannot hold two tigers…”
Just at this moment,
A cold snort suddenly echoed in all directions.
“What a Ancient Immortal Leader, what a Ancient Immortal Lord… You yourselves stole the Plane Authority, and now you want to join forces to block others’ opportunities?”
“Dream on!”
“From today onwards, I, the Eternal Immortal Lord, officially declare that I am reclaiming my title, and the Eternal Immortal Court and the Ancient Immortal Sect shall be eternal enemies, never to rest until one is destroyed…”
This angry snort was filled with intense fury, and even hatred!
As the words spread,
Mysterious thunder appeared throughout the Eternal Immortal Domain, rumbling across the sky. A brilliant light shot into the the void, instantly illuminating countless worlds, big and small, within the Eternal Immortal Domain.
Another new aura of the Plane Authority appeared in everyone’s perception.
“What?”
“Someone else has successfully stolen the Plane Authority?”
“This is the third one, and it’s actually the Lord of the Eternal Immortal Court…”
“Upon successfully stealing the Plane Authority, he immediately declared the reclamation of his title, indicating eternal enmity with the Ancient Immortal Sect. The Lord of the Eternal Immortal Court’s accumulated grievances of countless years have finally erupted…”
The Eternal Immortal Domain was in an uproar.
Countless people were shocked, excited, and exhilarated.
If the Ancient Immortal Lord's success was merely a coincidence or an accident, then the subsequent successful theft of the Plane Authority by the Eternal Immortal Lord could absolutely no longer be a coincidence or an accident.
To describe the consecutive success of two top-tier second-grade divine phase cultivators in stealing the Plane Authority as merely a coincidence or an accident would be a complete stretch.
No one would believe it if you said it.
Behind this, there must be some underlying reason, and it is highly likely that some change has occurred in the Ancient Path of the Plane; otherwise, it would be impossible for this to happen.
But no matter the reason, it indicated one problem: if the Ancient Immortal Lord and the Eternal Immortal Lord could succeed, then others also had the same opportunity.
Since there was an opportunity, who would be willing to give it up?
At this moment, those Great Dao God Lords who were already attempting to assault the Ancient Path of the Plane were greatly encouraged and even more excited. Even those Great Dao God Lords who had not yet begun their assault on the Ancient Path of the Plane showed eager expressions.
Conversely,
The Ancient Immortal Leader and the Ancient Immortal Lord were incredibly shocked.
How could it be so fast?
How could the Eternal Immortal Lord steal the Plane Authority so quickly? It was as if he had divine assistance. What exactly was going on?
Especially the Ancient Immortal Leader, his heart was filled with uncontrollable rage.
He instinctively felt that something was amiss with this matter, yet he was unable to deduce where the problem lay.
What was terrifying was that with the successive successes of the Ancient Immortal Lord and the Eternal Immortal Lord, it seemed to set an example for countless Great Dao God Lords in this world. Many people began to attempt to assault the Ancient Path of the Plane, trying to emulate them.
For a time, the Ancient Immortal Leader even felt as if the situation was spiraling out of control.
It was as if the Eternal Immortal Domain, which had once belonged solely to him, was no longer his… “Damn it!!!!!!”
