After killing Mercurius, who was the de-facto leader of the Longinus Dreizhen Order because he controlled The Fool Tarot Card, which was the strongest of the Arcana, the Tarot Card fell into my possession.
Now with it, I held to Tarot Cards fused with my soul and at the same time, I was essentially in control of the other Tarot Cards. It has been a long time since all of the members of the Longinus Dreizhen Order were gathered, so I will give them some time to prepare.
Especially since I knew that right now, some of the members would be indisposed, especially Weissmann and Queen Cohinem, because they relocated to other Universes and were in the process of acclimatization to their new environment, which would take some time.
And Bibi Dong just now reached Tier 11 as she profited a lot from the establishment of the Kadath Universe and the creation of the Douluo Principal World. Currently, the Douluo World holds one Tier 11 and 3 peak Tier 10 experts.
In their power system, one Paramount God and three peaks Common Gods, which was not bad considering that they were just newly established worlds.
At the same time, the rest of their Universe had perished.
I bothered to incorporate only a few of the worlds from the original Shao Unvierse, which was now being fully devoured by the Kadath Universe in the form of nutrients.
"Whatever... it is time to take a nap..."
I muttered while I went to sleep... after a long time already, I will finally get a good amount of sleep... probably for a few months.
It seems that the toll of the creation of a new Universe was far more than I initially anticipated...

3rd POV
And thus, the time in the newly established Kadath Universe progressed; while the worlds were being created, stars exploded and basically, life was doing its own way...
In the Douluo World, the situation became a bit interesting and... as expected from the humans. Just one year after the ascendance of several high-ranking members of the Spirit Hall and thus the Spirit Empire, the Empire started shaking in its foundation.
Humans were creatures that were never satisfied with anything and while the Spirit Hall was being strengthened by the ascension of the several core members.
Bibi Dong and neither of the Gods of the Spirit Hall were doing anything about it because humans were creatures that thrived in the conflict.
Without it, they became stagnant and faced degradation...
Thus for the competition of creation of a full-fledged society of that would be worshipping Gods, they decided to let the Spirit Empire perish while strengthening the Spirit Hall and bringing its purpose to what it originally was in the times of the past.
And it started paying off because just after a few months after the creation of the Douluo World, some of their most powerful Nobles that were not affiliated with the Spirit Hall were declaring independence from the Empire in their colonies, while even some of the remote territories were doing the same thing.
Naturally, the Spirit Hall wasn't doing anything to prevent that, but rather they were using it as their opportunity to convert all of them to believers of the Asura Goddess, Goddess of Destruction, Angel God, Golden Battle God and even Gods of the Baator were being worshipped there in some forms.
Previously the worship of Gods on the Douluo Planet across the territory of the Spirit Hall wasn't that good... while some people believed there were not many of them compared to the whole population of the entire Empire.
Another thing that happened across the entire Douluo World was something that was called "Tech-Reverse" because the Gods of the Douluo started reducing the level of technology of the entire Douluo World or rather concentrating the technology only in the hands of a few.
Before this, the technological level of the Douluo was relatively well, but when Bibi Dong and other native Gods of the Douluo decided to mimic the societies that were worshipped by mortals.
They were letting mortals to have only certain sorts of technologies that were considered as Divine Gifts from the Gods.
Bibi Dong went even that far as to conduct a ritual with other Gods of Douluo to rewrite the memory of the entire world, in which even several top powerhouses of the Chthonian Empire of the Baator.
Meanwhile, life in the Baator was usual as ever. For the Chthonians, the establishment and creation of the Kadath Universe didn't really change anything on a large scale of things, as they continued their lives in ordinary manners, like previously.
Soldiers were training, scientists and researchers were researching, magicians were experimenting with new magic and so on...
Basically, everyone was doing what they were doing when the Baator was part of the Astral Boundary Universe, nothing more and nothing less.
On the contrary, everyone was hyped for the connection to the wider Endless Void and for the time when the Kadath Universe would finish developing and new life would appear in the world that are across the Universe.
While some of the War Hawks of the Empire were irritated that there were essentially no enemies to fight or kill, maybe aside from a few idiots of the Douluo World's crumbling Spirit Empire that were declaring their independence who were attempting to enter the Baator to get their hands on some of their resources.
This situation really reflected the oldest truth of existence that for the supreme powerhouses, everyone else are just puppets, chess pieces that were being moved across the chessboard like the ones above them wished and in a way they wished.
Something like this was the primordial truth and something that couldn't be changed no matter what Universe someone was in...
