Chapter 1184 The Staff of Destiny

In the vast emptiness of the spatial space, somewhere inside the profound mothership of the Chaos Races. 

The Chaos Sovereign Empress Destiny was visibly upset and her loyal subjects did not dare to disturb her in her throne room.

None of her subjects had ever seen her so upset before even when they were being surrounded by the immortal Abyssal Races.

She had simply said to her subjects, "Do not disturb me!"

It was because she had wasted plenty of time to fight against the Abyssal Races and once her Chao Races had broken free of the blockade by the profound ships of the Abyssal Races, she had thought of sneaking away to enter the pocket dimension of her Great Oracle Gate to give Ji Yuan a surprise visit.

That is, if he is still in the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth.

But to her dismay, she had lost all contact with her Great Oracle Gate as a mysterious force had blocked all her attempts to establish contacts. 

This could only mean one thing and it was that Ji Yuan was already in the Celestial Realm and that the trials of the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth were now over.

She was also feeling particular bad that she had screwed up with Tang Manni and Ding Jie'Er who had trusted her to bring them to Ji Yuan. 

But now, either they were hopelessly waiting for her to return in vain or may have already fallen into the hands of the Great Demon God.

She was planning to make her dramatic return to Ji Yuan and to cause Ji Yuan to be so overwhelmed by her appearance that he would literally be begging her to help him against the Great Demon God. 

Although she was not sure if she could defeat the Great Demon God but protecting Ji Yuan and his maidens against the Great Demon God was not a big issue for her.

But there was a little issue with her plan.

She could only access the Celestial Realm only if Ji Yuan was inside the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth. But if he returned to the Celestial Realm, she would no longer be able to return to him. 

It was because while it was true that the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth was in the Celestial Realm, it was also accessing the other worlds and there existed several small cracks that she could use to exploit. 

However, even for her, she could not make an appearance inside the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth due to the special laws of the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth. 

Again, she had exploited a flaw in the laws of the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth; while no one can enter the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth halfway, it was possible to bring profound treasures that they encountered during the cultivator's trial into the other worlds.

The skull ring that she had given Ji Yuan contained her soul essence and she could connect to it to bring herself back to the pocket world of her Great Oracle Gate. 

In short, she could hide herself in there until the trials of the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth were over.

But now she had encountered an issue with her plan.

She had thought of bring all her prized profound treasures from her Entropy Realm to the Celestial Realm but she did not expect to meet so many high level immortals of her Chaos Race that were hosting a conference in her most sacred mountain.

This forced her to reveal herself and to be crowned as the Chaos Sovereign Empress again.

Not only that, she was even forced to conduct an immortal war against the Immortal Great Abyssal Realm and this delayed her again and again.

Although she was unwilling to step in to help as she had found the True Devil God after so many years, she still has to fulfil her obligations to her Chaos Race and to drive out the Immortal Abyssals from her Immortal Entropy Realm.

She did not expect that her Immortal Chaos Race would be so disunited after she had departed for the Spirit Divine Realm.

A long time ago, she had performed a true divination which augury to her that the True Devil God would appear in the Spirit Divine Realm and that she would be able to meet him there. 

However, she could only perform that true divination only once every 100 000 years and at a terrible cost to her life force as she had not completed her staff of destiny yet. 

She was willing to wait for the True Devil God in the Spirit Divine Realm.

However, she did not expect for the Great Beyond Goddess to follow her to the Spirit Divine Realm as well. 

Because she refused to tell the Great Beyond Goddess anything about the True Devil God and she was also weakened by her true divination, she was easily sealed by the Great Beyond Goddess who had said to her, "If I can't find the True Devil God, so do you as well."

She could only reveal herself every now and then through the Great Oracle Gate when the profound seal was weakened but she still could not escape from her prison.

The Delphi Palace inside the Great Oracle Gate was actually her profound ship and palace while the 'Great Oracle Gate' was her prison. But over the years, she had renamed her prison to the Great Oracle Gate and slowly gained some controls over her prison by subverting the laws of her prison in the absence of the Great Beyond Goddess. 

When she was freed from her prison, she had gained full mastery of the Great Oracle Gate which she had then shrunk it to the size of the small skull ring. 

Later, she would pass her skull ring to Ji Yuan.

But all her plans to return to the True Devil God's side, were all in vain now.

In the end, she was still being separated from him. 

All of a sudden, as she was tapping with her fingers on her black staff of destiny, her eyes had suddenly shone; it was because she wondered if it was possible to divine a way to the Celestial Realm with her now completed staff of destiny?

Destiny was actually planning to use it to augury the best way for her to be with the True Devil God but this was quite urgent; she was quite fearful that there may be no result as the way to the Celestial Realm was now sealed. 

With a fearful look, she began to raise her black staff of destiny…
