Chapter 846: Shocking Truth

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The canopy resembled a lush green umbrella, shading the entire sky. The crisscrossing branches were like the ribs of the umbrella, while the luxuriant green leaves formed the canopy, supporting this world just like the legendary World Tree.

According to Ji Chen’s estimation, this giant tree was at least tens of thousands of meters tall. However, it might have appeared so towering due to the special spatial rules of the Divine Realm.

However, this giant tree actually supported the core of the entire Natural Divine Realm.

The taller and thicker the tree, the more vast and expansive the space it could support. It was a treasure nurtured by generations of natural divine spirits over countless ages.

Above the canopy and trunk was the realm of the gods.

Among the dense branches and green leaves, Ji Chen saw two coffins wrapped and entwined by vines, hanging in a cavity at the center of the canopy.

The coffins seemed to have been closed and motionless for a long time. Moss covered their surfaces, and unknown plants spread along the vines onto the coffins, giving them a vibrant appearance.

Centered around the two coffins, there emanated a terrifying aura that made all living beings tremble.

And this kind of aura, Ji Chen had felt it before.

—Divine.

There was no doubt that inside the coffins lay two divine spirits, most likely the two natural divine spirits who had survived since the first Divine War.

Seeing this scene, even the heroes of the Ocean Crown couldn’t help but hold their breaths, their eyes fixed on the coffins as if expecting them to sit up at any moment.

However, after a long time, the coffins only emitted a daunting aura, remaining motionless.

The heroes all looked at Ji Chen, asking what should be done next.

Ji Chen looked thoughtfully at the two coffins and said, “Open the coffins.”

Immediately, the four Divine Crystal Wyverns lined up and flew into the canopy at a steady pace. Compared to the gigantic trunk, their seemingly robust bodies appeared petite, effortlessly maneuvering through the branches and leaves.

As they approached, Ji Chen kept a close watch on whether the coffins showed any signs of movement. Yet, even when the Divine Crystal Wyverns approached the two coffins, there was still no movement.

Seeing this scene, a glint flashed in Ji Chen’s eyes.

The Divine Crystal Wyverns flew closer, trying to find seams between the coffin and its lid to pry them open. However, these two coffins seemed to be naturally integrated, without even a crack, let alone a seam.

The coffins appeared to be one solid piece. If it weren’t for their shape and style indicating that they were undoubtedly coffins for burial, people might have mistaken them for two pieces of wood.

“Step back; I’ll handle this personally.”

“Lord, this seems too dangerous,” the heroes exclaimed hastily. “Why not let us try it out first?”

Ji Chen shook his head gently and said in a deep voice, “Perhaps only those who possess the authority of the natural divine lineage can unveil the veil of what happened here.”

Alice and the others exchanged glances but nodded nonetheless, following closely behind, their eyes fixed on the two coffins.

If there was any movement, they would immediately shield Lord Ji Chen with their bodies.

Ji Chen appeared quite relaxed, walking along the sturdy branches capable of supporting a galloping horse to reach the two coffins below, and then made a shocking move that stunned everyone.

With thunderous power in his hand, he struck directly at one of the coffins, but what happened next was even more astonishing.

The coffin, struck by the thunder, trembled abruptly after a brief pause, as if something inside the coffin was about to awaken.

The vines connecting it were stimulated in some way, breaking one after another, and the coffin fell heavily onto the tree trunk with a loud “thud.”

The heroes instantly became vigilant, instinctively protecting the lord behind them, their eyes full of vigilance and horror. However, after staring for quite a while, they found that nothing happened despite the coffin shaking for a moment.

“This…”

“It’s alright.”

At some point, a crack opened in the coffin. Ji Chen walked over and reached out to lift the lid along the crack.

When he saw what was inside the coffin, a look of confirmation appeared on his face.

Inside the coffin, there was no so-called divine corpse; there was only a greenish crystal ball, seemingly containing some kind of energy.

Without much hesitation, Ji Chen reached out.

The moment his fingers touched the crystal ball, the scene shifted, and his consciousness entered a strange white space without boundaries.

Suddenly, screens appeared one after another, recording information, and scenes flashed before his eyes like a revolving lantern.

It was the war of the gods that swept through the entire main world hundreds of thousands of years ago, involving the void and countless secret realms. The gods in the sky, driven by their interests, mobilized their believers to conquer the heretics. The creatures on the earth suffered, and the land was filled with corpses and blood.

Although it only lasted for a hundred years, this short period nearly depleted the resources accumulated over endless years in the main world and secret realms.

Once prosperous villages turned into scorched earth, abundant rivers dried up, fertile lands degraded into deserts and wastelands, and the mountains were dotted with unsightly mines dug at any cost to extract resources…

All of this was difficult for the nature-loving gods of the natural god system to accept. So, under the prayers of the followers of the natural god sect, they decided to join the war of the gods.

Stop the war with war and restore vitality to the earth as soon as possible.

However, the intensity of the divine war far exceeded their imagination. Nine out of eleven gods of the natural god system fell, and even the only main god of the god system fell, leaving only one lesser god and one intermediate god remaining..
