"Am I dead?"

The Marquis Star Refining was taken aback, looking at Lin Qing in disbelief: "It was only a state domain war. No matter how fierce the battle, it shouldn't lead to the fall of an Eternal being, right?"

It wasn't out of arrogance but rather because a state domain war rarely results in the fall of an Eternal existence; it's usually High Level Chaos Creatures that fall.

After all, Eternal beings are responsible for guarding the most important Holy Stars, and they rarely enter the fray.

Though his strength was considerably less than that of an Eternal Peak Powerhouse, as long as he guarded the Holy Star, with the blessing of the Holy Star Origin, his strength wasn't far from that of an Eternal Peak Powerhouse, plus he had the Swallowing Flame Python, who was nearly at that level, assisting!

And among the Eternal beings participating from various states, the most powerful wasn't an Eternal Peak Powerhouse, so how could they possibly kill him?

"According to the intelligence, Marquis, it was because Marquis Jue Yuan personally led the army into the Transfer Star, and Marquis intervened, which led to your death," Lin Qing said.

"Marquis Jue Yuan?" The Marquis Star Refining frowned and said, "I always act together with the Swallowing Flame Python, leaving an avatar to guard the Holy Star. Marquis Jue Yuan's strength is slightly weaker than the Swallowing Flame Python's. How could he possibly kill me?"

Lin Qing shook his head and said, "Marquis, you were killed by three Eternal Strong Persons whose strength rivaled the Swallowing Flame Python."

"What? Three Eternal Strong Persons on par with the Swallowing Flame Python?"

The Marquis Star Refining found it even more incredible, "This… how is it possible? Among the dozen or so Eternal Strong Persons participating in this state domain war, apart from me and the Swallowing Flame Python teaming up, the strongest was Marquis Jue Yuan."

"They were outsiders." Lin Qing said, "These three Eternal Strong Persons were soldiers under Marquis Jue Yuan, without a fiefdom or title, claiming to be wandering strong persons hidden within the Ice Seal Empire, so they could join any side."

According to the rules of state domain war—

Eternal beings from non-participating other state domains are not allowed to intervene, and there is a limit on the number of those below Eternal who wish to participate.

These three claimed to be Hidden World strong persons from Jue Yuan State, without a fiefdom or title, not part of any faction, and after verification, they indeed had the qualifications to participate.

In the King Realm, there are some reclusive and Eternal strong persons who do not wish to join any faction, have not been conferred titles or territories, and do not care for the benefits of titles, just wandering freely as Hidden World strong persons.

Such existences, as long as they reside in a state before the war starts, have the qualification to participate.

"Reclusive wandering strong persons?"

The Marquis Star Refining felt it was absurd, "Three Hidden World strong persons, each with strength rivaling the Swallowing Flame Python, joined under Marquis Jue Yuan's command for what?"

"To find an opportunity to deal with me." Lin Qing looked at the Marquis Star Refining and said, "The Marquis Star Refining was probably killed by those three while protecting me."

He recorded intelligence obtained in the future—

[…Three Eternal Strong Persons disguised as hidden under Marquis Jue Yuan's expeditionary army, claiming to be Hidden World strong persons, jointly attacked the Star Refining Holy Star, and because the Marquis Star Refining tried to dissuade them, they mercilessly killed him, one temporarily sealed the Swallowing Flame Python, and the other two instantly killed the Marquis Star Refining…]

"This…"

The Marquis Star Refining murmured, "However, since you have obtained this intelligence, the future has already changed, right…"

"It has changed." Lin Qing nodded slightly, saying, "But the Marquis needs to understand that this was an open conspiracy by the enemy. The victory or defeat of this state domain war itself is no longer important."

"Not important?" The Marquis Star Refining was taken aback.

"According to intelligence from the future, this state domain war will ultimately evolve into the fuse for a Divine Country war."

Lin Qing looked at the Marquis Star Refining, "The Divine Country war that will sweep through the entire King Realm Universe will break out in the Ice Seal Empire, or even here in the Star Refining State. Is the victory or defeat of a state domain war still important?"

The Marquis Star Refining trembled inside, looking at Lin Qing in disbelief: "Divine Country war? Why haven't I heard any news…"

"In the face of intelligence about the Descent into the Future, such war catastrophe can't be concealed. The high-levels of the Ice Seal Empire must already know."

Lin Qing slightly shook his head, "Moreover, all the countries must have already known and are probably preparing for total war. Does the outcome of just one state domain war really matter?"

When prophecy is omnipresent, war intelligence is no longer as crucial. The true determinant of victory is the actual combat power!

The Marquis Star Refining was silent for a moment, then said, "That's true… in the Divine Country war, large numbers of Eternal beings will fall; my death alone is nothing, but if I know this, it will only introduce more variables into the future and increase war investment. It would be better to let the Star Refining State follow the original future trajectory, making deployment easier…"

Lin Qing slightly shook his head, saying nothing further.

In this war, the death of the Marquis Star Refining is just a trivial matter; what's truly frightening is that this war will evolve into the fuse for a Divine Country war.

The intelligence gained from the Descent into the Future shows that the Registered Disciple of the Primordial God Emperor, 'Marquis Cang Ye,' intervened from the shadows, manipulated this war, and wantonly slaughtered Eternal beings, causing all sides to get involved, leading to a Divine Country war engulfing the whole King Realm Universe.

But so what if this is known?

Stop Marquis Cang Ye?

Even if Marquis Cang Ye doesn't intervene, there will be other formidable forces from the Primordial Divine Country taking action, and even the Myriad Seas Divine Country will act. Targeting one or two defenses is useless because the goal of the Primordial Divine Country and Myriad Seas Divine Country is to provoke a Divine Country war!

State domain wars within countries or even wars between two countries still need to follow rules, as these are set down by a higher level.
