Chapter 1367 Giving Up Is Digging Your Grave.


    ??Just saying how much stronger he would become after killing the Celestial of Power, the Celestial of Fire, and becoming the Celestial Supreme made the Celestial of Light make up his mind not to let this opportunity go at all costs. He has been fantasizing about it for a long time. But this time he might really achieve it.


    It also isn''t all about the allure of power. He made a blunder early into the rite of passage when he falsely accused the Shadow of Despair and amassed an army against him. That blunder will be the death of him as soon as the Shadow of Despair comes to the divine plane so he has to acquire power to ensure his survival.


    The gods began to argue. Then they began insulting each other. That quickly devolved into the exchange of blows. They were soon at each other''s throats.


    The Phoenix watched all these while mocking them inwardly. She finds it funny that they are dying when they are about to gain immortality. "What a waste of power. It is such a pity that I can''t take them by force. But that''s okay. They will give themselves to the great mother willingly. Then they will achieve the immortality that they want so dearly."


    She is proud of her race for their unity. There is probably no other race that can contend with them when it comes to unity. All of them are female like their Primogenitor and they are all of one mind with the great mother. So arguing amongst themselves is something that never happens.


    The gods are the opposite of that unity that she PRIDE''s herself on. It was amusing to watch such powerful beings bicker and argue despite being in danger. They are killing each other before the Supreme Beasts come up to kill them.


    The Celestial of Fire tried to argue for peace and harmony. But peace and harmony mean nothing in the face of death. He is weak so he will be sacrificed for the good of all. That is what most of the gods want.


    His image as the peaceful god of fire made it nearly impossible for him to fuse domains that should go well with fire. If he attempts them, then he will receive a massive backlash from his believers.


    The Celestial of Light also helped him suppress the Celestial of Power by preventing wars and cracking down on gods that tried to condense the domain of war. However, the effect of such actions on the Celestial of Light and Justice is beneficial while it is bad for him.


    So in a way, by suppressing his enemies, he was digging his grave while preparing the throne for his enemy. He gave up risks and the power that could possibly come from it. Now he has to bear the consequences of weakness.


    "If only I could give up my title." He lamented.


    That''s the main issue here. It is not that he wants to stubbornly remain the Celestial Supreme. It is just that the only way for another Celestial Supreme to be crowned is when the previous one dies. He just can''t quit his position. Only death will relieve him of that position. So he must try his best to live or die holding on to the throne.


    A great fight started in the divine plane soon after. It had a large momentum because it involved almost every god. Many gods died very quickly but the war also ended very quickly.


    The five Celestials ganged up on the two stubborn Celestials. This is not the first time that a coup would take place in the divine plane but the coup succeeded this time and without much effort too.


    The Celestial of Light and Justice had the help of most of the Celestials this time around so there was a swift change in the leadership. The number of Celestials fell by two but they gained a Level 5 Celestial Supreme so it was a worthy trade and they became stronger for it.
