Chu Mo looked at everyone and said, "There's no need to thank me, after all, this is our shared world, and here is our common home. If, before, I was unaware of the true essence of the so-called Divine Realm, I might have yearned for it. After all, who doesn't wish for immortality? Who doesn't want to be eternally indestructible?"

Everyone nodded along, indeed, who wouldn't want that?

Chu Mo continued, "But after learning the truth, I really think... the so-called Divine Realm is actually quite absurd. I don't know if you've thought about it."

Chu Mo looked at the three great venerable beings, "You were once runic deities in the Divine Realm, and now you have also recovered your once-sealed memories. Let me ask you a question."

"Please speak, Heavenly Emperor," the three venerables said in unison.

Chu Mo asked, "Has anyone ever seen the beings who truly established the Divine Realm?"

"This..." The Immeasurable Venerable's mouth twitched slightly; he has been among the Human Clan for too long, and all his words and actions carried traces of humanity. He shook his head with a bitter smile, "This matter is actually a top-tier supreme secret within the Divine Realm as well!"

The Namo Venerable said, "Indeed, we beings have never seen... not to mention seen, we've never even heard of any information about the founders of the Divine Realm."

"We once believed that the Divine Realm... was naturally formed," the Primordial Venerable said. "Even later, when we learned that the Divine Realm required extracting life energy from the lower realms, we still thought so. However, in the later stages, after we absorbed enough energy and grew, we finally discovered that the Divine Realm... was indeed constructed by living beings. Yet when we sought to find out who established the Divine Realm, we found all evidence had vanished! We couldn't find any trace left by those beings!"

The Immeasurable Venerable nodded and said, "I also investigated this matter for a long time out of sheer curiosity. Curiosity, as long as one is a wise being, should have it. Otherwise, wise beings can hardly truly develop. After all, curiosity is the driving force for the progress of living beings."

Chu Mo nodded, looking at them.

The Immeasurable Venerable continued, "But after all our investigations, the only thing we found was the first generation left by that group, known as the initial Divine Realm creators!"

Chu Mo's eyes slightly narrowed, sensing that there was an earth-shattering secret hidden within this information!

The Immeasurable Venerable continued, "Those first generations are actually the Eight Great Leaders. But even among the Eight Great Leaders of today, some are no longer the first generation of old."

"Are those from the first generation still well?" Chu Mo asked.

The Namo Venerable thought for a moment and said, "They probably still exist, but they should all be reclusive now, no longer participating in various affairs in the Divine Realm."

"I wonder if, amid such significant changes in the Divine Realm, those from the first generation will step forward," the Primordial Venerable said.

This is something that Chu Mo could not know.

But after hearing the words of the three venerables, not only Chu Mo but also the hearts of others were filled with doubt.

Since those initial beings founded the eternal Divine Realm, and then each left descendants, they should presumably be the highest rulers in the Divine Realm. But the problem is, they have all disappeared without a trace, as if they never existed.

According to the three venerables, some deities in the Divine Realm secretly speculate about the whereabouts of the initial deities.

Some say the initial beings are all dead because creating the Divine Realm requires too great a consumption of divine energy. After they birthed descendants, they left their own essence blood in the descendants' bodies and then chose annihilation themselves.

Yet this theory is not accepted.

Because it simply doesn't make sense.

Why would those initial deities create a Divine Realm? Wasn't it for the sake of eternal immortality?

If they had such a sacrificial spirit, why even create the Divine Realm?

They could simply float and sink along with the Six Paths of Reincarnation in this great world!

So, some people say the initial deities didn't actually disappear. They have simply truly hidden away, unwilling to show themselves.

Because after establishing an eternal immortal world, their wishes were fulfilled, and their goals achieved. From then on, they could truly rest.

However, this theory was also met with much opposition.

It's believed that even if those initial deities were indifferent to fame and fortune, they wouldn't remain absent throughout the Immeasurable Calamity.

The Immeasurable looked at Chu Mo and said, "Anyway, the whereabouts of the initial deities are a huge mystery throughout the Divine Realm. Over ninety percent of the deities don't even know about the initial deities. They, like us in the past, believe the Divine Realm was formed by Heaven and Earth, not created by beings."

Namo said, "Those most likely to know about these matters should be the first-generation and second-generation deities, but they all maintain silence on this issue; they never bring it up voluntarily. Even if someone asks, they absolutely won't answer."

The Primordial said, "I even suspect that even those first-generation and second-generation deities also don't know the whereabouts of the initial deities."

At this moment, Chu Mo nodded and then said, "I feel that if we can solve the mystery of the initial deities' whereabouts, perhaps we can also resolve the current crisis in our world."

Old Chu then said from the side, "Indeed, because if the initial deities really faced calamity, it would surely alert those high-level beings in the entire Divine Realm today. It would let them know that constructing the Divine Realm is not so easy and always requires a price to be paid."

The Demon Lord said, "The First Divine Beings, before constructing the Divine Realm, might not have known the dire consequences this would produce. Otherwise, I believe some of them would have chosen to retreat."

Those words were indeed correct. Constructing the Divine Realm was meant for eternity and immortality. If they discovered that constructing the Divine Realm would ultimately lead to their own demise, almost none would choose such a path.

"This matter is really hard to answer," Immeasurable said with a bitter smile, "Because I believe, even those now ruling in the divine miracles might not know."

In Chu Mo's eyes, a faint light flickered as he recalled the great secret place the Three Great Revered had once mentioned. They had said that an unimaginable terrifying power existed there that, if approached closely, could instantly crush them to dust!

Chu Mo knew the power of the Three Great Revered. Even at their peak, they were certainly not superior to him now. But the problem was, he now carried the qi movement of the entire Five Great Heavens. Yet, if he were to remove these empowering forces, although he still had confidence in defeating the Three Great Revered, he certainly did not possess the power to instantly crush them into dust.

Even now, although he could easily suppress the Three Great Revered, he still lacked the ability to instantly crush them into dust.

This meant that the place hiding the great secret might very well be an answer.

However, not everyone is qualified to see this answer.

Because the price of viewing this answer was too great. Not even Chu Mo had the courage and confidence to explore that place.

"Prepare for battle, Celestial Emperor." At this moment, the master of Purple Gold Heaven looked at Chu Mo and sighed softly, "This battle is ultimately unavoidable for us. Even though a Beast Clan has truly joined our ranks, more Divine Clan will choose to wage war against us."

"Indeed," the master of Immeasurable Heaven looked at Chu Mo and said, "I have already assembled the strongest beings from all of Immeasurable Heaven."

"We have as well," the masters of Carefree Heaven and Namo Heaven nodded simultaneously.

"The elite forces of our Four Great Heavens are all advancing toward us here. On the other side of the Four Great Heavens... it is already very empty. However, we believe that the Four Great Heavens over there will not encounter a fatal attack. After all, where we are is truly the first to bear the brunt."

Chu Mo nodded, "Alright, let's proceed like this for now. Meanwhile, I will continue amassing vast resources to mend the heavens!"

No one disagreed with this.

With the increasing pressure from the Divine Clan within the Divine Realm, repairing the borders of the Four Great Heavens had become a crucial task.

If these weak spots aren't repaired in time, then the Divine Clan in the Divine Realm might gather massive strength and launch an assault there. Once they enter this world, the battle would commence instantly!

At that point, there wouldn't be a shred of leeway left.

Under such a tense atmosphere, the Five Great Heavens world can still maintain normal operations, which could be considered a significant miracle. This also highlights the importance of the Rune Network. Without the Rune Network, the entire Five Great Heavens world would not have been able to unite as one. It would be impossible for information to be so open, transparent, and efficient!

Currently, in the entire world of the Five Great Heavens, the transmission of any information is incredibly swift!

Even in the most remote areas, the delay would not exceed three days in the Pangu World.

At this moment, amidst Chu Mo's brows, a trace of surprise appeared. He looked at the crowd and said, "A large number of beings are launching an assault!"

"What?" Everyone present tensed up at this moment.

The Demon Lord and the Drifting Empress, these war-mongering individuals, had flames of battle suddenly ignite in their eyes.

They were truly amongst those who did not fear death.

They had long aspired for a battle against the Divine Clan!

Chu Mo said solemnly, "Let's go, meet this group of beings!"

Instantly, a vast number of top-tier cultivators ascended from the Heavenly Court. The scene was extremely spectacular. Their aura was truly earth-shaking!

For the first time, no one hid their presence.

This scene was also directly conveyed onto the Rune Network.

Watching this group ascend, the entire Rune Network... erupted instantly!

Some people saw the grandeur, power, and dominance of the aura, but more saw... that tragic atmosphere of winds swirling ominously.

Indeed, for the first time, these top-tier beings from the Five Great Heavens engaged in such a large-scale battle.

It was evident that this would be a battle incomparable to any other.

Hope they all return safely.
