Lord of the Earth

"With ten thousand gods joining forces, this human dynasty, destined for destruction, is doomed to perish; there is no possibility of its survival..."

In the void, divine thoughts intertwined, and a chilling killing intent permeated the air.

For many of the alien gods who participated in this siege, it was not just plunder, but a long-planned revenge and reckoning.

A Blade Clan deity, resembling a giant mantis with a body covered in naturally runic black steel, whispers filled with hatred echoed within its divine realm:

"This human dynasty is far too arrogant!"

"Years ago, one of my juniors, while passing through the borders of the human race, was so hungry that he casually devoured several thousand weak humans... Qian Xia actually dispatched a supreme deity to pursue them into the heart of my race, where he forcibly refined my 100,000 elite troops, along with an entire territory, into that 'divine weapon furnace,' turning them into 'divine iron' for their cultivation! This grudge will be avenged today!"

In another direction, in a "kingdom of the dead" that flows with putrid pus and is made up of countless black, swirling skeletons, a lich-like deity chuckles.

"Fresh souls and flesh, especially human souls filled with an indomitable will, are the best materials to strengthen my divine kingdom, enhance the laws of death, and help me comprehend the 'Undying Dao Fruit'... Qianxia is a rich mine waiting to be mined."

Each divine kingdom, whether suspended in the heavens or partially integrated into the mortal world, is like an independent war fortress.

Within the Kingdom of God, there are not only the gods themselves.

Furthermore, a large number of subordinate races and clans that have been refined by these gods or who worship these gods are ready to fight!
The ordinary soldiers of these armies may only be equivalent to extraordinary elites, but their generals, high priests, war beast controllers and so on are almost all at the level of "saints and demigods".

An army led by gods and comprising numerous saint-level units could indeed destroy an ordinary dynasty with only a million or tens of millions of people with ease!
Although Qianxia is powerful, it is more than ten thousand times more powerful than a typical "dynasty of destiny", and it also possesses a powerful national treasure such as the "Great Wall of the Human Race"!

However, cultural treasures like the Great Wall and the Nine Tripods require a massive amount of national fortune and a continuous, unwavering, and pure belief in the people as "fuel"...

Now, Qianxia is beset by internal troubles (traitors among the human race and betrayal by reclusive sects) and external threats (the pressure from all the gods), and is also embroiled in a decisive battle with the Sakura Kingdom...

"Under such a brutal situation, all we need to do is further destroy their fighting force and crush their will to resist, and the fate of this human dynasty will naturally collapse!"

A supreme deity of the "Winged Human Race," with wings on his back and flowing winds all around him.

His gaze locked onto a city in the Qianxia Dynasty below. This city, named "Iron Rock City," had a population of about ten million, comparable to a dynasty with a strong destiny!
However, in the eyes of the three top deities, that was all.

In particular, the elite soldiers guarding this place have all been transferred to the battlefield against the Sakura Kingdom, leaving only some militia at the Transcendent level to defend the area, and the "guarding general" is no more than a demigod!
"First, take this city, sever one of its arms. Men, eat!"

With a cold snort, the three gods simultaneously ordered their soldiers to attack. However, as divine light, elemental turmoil, necromantic calamity, and colossal beast phantoms crashed down upon Ironrock City... a sudden change occurred!
"Om-!"

Outside Iron Rock City, on the blood-stained and mottled city wall, plumes of "smoke" suddenly burst into flames, followed by a burst of dazzling, shimmering light!

Then the smoke gathered and twisted into beams of light and shadow. One after another, the phantoms of an army, clad in ancient armor, in strict formation, and exuding an extraordinary level, even a holy realm, quickly materialized from the void!
"kill……"

"Do you really think that our human race is so easy to bully?"

A clear and wise voice resounded over Iron Rock City.

In the center of the city, a phantom image of an observatory suddenly appeared, and standing on the platform was a scholar with a feather fan and a turban, exuding an extraordinary temperament—Zhang Liang, the Marquis of Liu of the Han Dynasty!

The Bagua disc in his hand spun, and the Yin and Yang energies rose, transforming into a giant Taiji diagram that covered the entire city.

"Borrowing the power of heaven and earth, the formation begins!"

In an instant, all the troops in Iron Rock City were enveloped in a faint, clear light, their morale soared, their power flow accelerated significantly, and their formation coordination became several times more refined!
This is clearly the support and formation enhancement at the "quasi-true god" level!
Meanwhile, on another city, the figure of an old man dressed in the official robes of the Ming Dynasty and holding a compass materialized, his eyes opening and closing as if they contained the movement of mountains and rivers, the sun, moon and stars—the Marquis of Chengyi of the Ming Dynasty, Liu Bowen!

He also exuded an aura of "quasi-god" that was in no way inferior to Zhang Liang's.

"Earth veins, obey my command! Suppress evil!"

With a tap of his foot, a dragon's roar echoed from the depths of the city's foundation. The power of the earth surged, reinforcing the city's defenses and exerting a powerful repulsive and purifying effect on attacks originating from the earth or those imbued with unclean attributes...

"Soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, follow me to kill the enemy!"

Within the human race's "Mechanical City," top military and civil officials of the Ming Dynasty, such as Chang Yuchun and Yu Qian, manifested their elite forces, including the Five Armies Camp and the Chariot Camp.

Cannons roared, swords flashed like snow, and the battle raged as they clashed with the alien warriors swooping down from the sky!
Not just "Iron Rock City, Mechanical City"...

Above Huangtian City, which was under the greatest pressure at this moment, two earth-shattering roars tore apart the oppressive atmosphere brought by Xuanqiong and the demon ghost quasi-true god!
"Zhang Yide of Yan is here! Who dares to invade the territory of my human race!"

"I, Guan, am here! You heretics, prepare to die!"

The space was torn apart like a curtain by two unparalleled sharp beams.

Zhang Fei, wielding his eighteen-foot spear, and Guan Yu, holding his Green Dragon Crescent Blade upside down, stepped forward as two figures exuding a chilling aura of "quasi-true gods"!

Guan Yu slightly opened his phoenix eyes, his gaze locking onto the demonic quasi-god who was locked in battle with Zhang Jiao.

Without saying much, his aura surged, and a cyan blade of light that seemed to descend from the heavens cleaved down!

"Hey!"

The protective black mist surrounding the demonic quasi-true god was easily torn apart by the blade light, emitting a shrill scream. It had no choice but to abandon its suppression of Zhang Jiao and focus all its efforts on defense...

"What! These cities are actually guarded by human powerhouses who are not from Qianxia? They are other human forces..."

A hint of surprise flashed in the compound eyes of that supreme deity of the "Blade Clan".

Within the Qianxia territory, all cities built upon the "Human Great Wall" system, when facing invading enemies, experience a qualitative leap in one of the core characteristics of the Human Great Wall after it has been upgraded to a "Glazed Treasure": "Heroic Soul Guidance."

It is no longer merely a thought or projection that summons historical powerhouses, but can directly draw upon the true will of these "heroic souls" who have descended upon the Eternal Land to participate in the battle!
This arrival allows it to reach its full potential in a short period of time.

The "Imperial Contract" that Xia Tian himself signed as the sovereign of the human race not only bears the seal of a unified dynasty, but also the recognition of many outstanding heroes!

At this moment, this contract has become the strongest "coordinate"!
Numerous Chinese forces responded to the call and joined the defense of Qianxia... the Ming Dynasty's Seven Seas Navy, the Qin Dynasty's crossbowmen and chariot battalions, the Tang Dynasty's Mo Dao formation and Xuanjia cavalry...

One after another, the brilliant dynasties in Chinese history, relying on their own iconic jade-white, black-yellow, or even higher-level ace troops, appeared on the "Great Wall of Humanity" in various cities of Qianxia!
The once-aggressive alien vanguard suddenly ran into a brick wall.

The Imperial Guards' arrows swarmed like locusts, blotting out the sun, and possessed magical-dispelling properties; the Black Armored Army's charge advanced like an impregnable steel wall; the White-Robed Army's agile surprise attacks were like surgical scalpels, precisely cutting into the enemy's weak points...

In particular, the presence of historically renowned figures such as Liu Bowen, Zhang Liang, Chang Yuchun, and Yu Qian demonstrates the power of supreme deities, even reaching the level of "quasi-gods"!

In an instant, the servant armies under the command of many alien gods suffered heavy losses. Even some weak gods themselves were defeated and killed on the spot by human historical generals of the same level.
"Damn it! This Qian Xia actually had such a trick up his sleeve!"

The lich god of the undead race was so enraged that the fire of his soul trembled wildly, and the sea of ​​bones he summoned was sizzling as it was burned by the blood and spirit of the "White Robe Army".

"No problem! Don't force an attack on these tough nuts that are directly protected by the 'Will of the Great Wall' and aided by historical heroes. The human race is cunning; they will definitely concentrate their forces to defend their main body. Let's go and clip their wings—those human dynasties and dynasties that have allied with Qianxia or have only recently submitted! They are not covered by the 'Great Wall of Humanity'!"

Beside him, a supreme deity of the "Lingxi Clan," renowned for his spiritual power and deductive abilities, had a cunning and sinister glint in his eyes.

“Attack them, and you will not only weaken the overall fortune of the human race, but also force Qianxia to divide its forces to rescue them, further aggravating their consumption, and may even trigger internal conflicts caused by the uneven distribution of resources... This is the strategy of ‘besieging the city and attacking the reinforcements, cutting off the fuel supply’!”

The other alien gods quickly deduced and accepted this judgment.

“Excellent! Fortune is like water; when distributed, it is thin, but when gathered, it is thick. Qianxia spreads water widely to nourish his allies, which seems benevolent, but in reality, it damages the strength of the Great Wall. If the weak branches are broken, the main trunk will also shake.”

Two supreme deities of the "Triple Heaven" who were confident in their power, one from the "Giant Rock Clan" with a body as large as a mountain, and the other from the "Shadow Demon Clan" who were hidden in the void.

They immediately joined forces, tore through space, and headed straight for the capital of the Qianxia vassal state, known as the "Yanhuang Dynasty," which was tens of thousands of miles away from Iron Rock City!
As a newly established "dynasty of destiny," even its capital city's defenses are as fragile as paper in the eyes of the two supreme deities.

"Destroy it! Turn this place into scorched earth as a warning to those ants who depend on the dry summer!"

The Rock Clan god grinned maliciously, conjuring a meteorite a hundred miles in diameter, which crashed down with world-destroying power; the Shadow Demon Clan god, on the other hand, split into countless shadowy spikes, burrowing into the ley lines of the capital city and into the heart of fear.

Just as the millions of citizens of the Yanhuang Imperial Capital below were in despair, and the Emperor's eyes were bloodshot as he prepared to burn the nation's destiny in a final desperate gamble... at the critical moment!
"boom!!!"

A blazing pillar of light, as intense as the sun and purely condensed from humanitarian beliefs and the killing intent of war, traversed endless distances and struck the massive and solid divine kingdom of the Giant Rock Clan's god with unparalleled precision!

"what?!"

The giant rock god turned around in horror, only to see that his divine kingdom had been violently shaken by this attack, and spider web-like cracks had appeared on its surface!

The void was forcibly torn apart, and an ancient and majestic warship with a streamlined body and covered with heavy golden armor broke through the air—it was one of the highest war creations of the human race—the Ship of Salvation!
On the bridge, a general in red robes and golden armor, with eyes as sharp as a roc, was none other than Yue Fei, the commander of the Qianxia Northern Expedition who should have been confronting the army of the Sakura Kingdom on the northern border!
The ancient war bow in his hand was already full.

What rests on the bowstring is not a physical arrow, but a power of rules condensed to its extreme, containing the "prototype of loyalty to the country and the Dao fruit"!

Those who invade our human territory, no matter how far away, shall be punished!

Boom——!
The bowstring twanged, and the arrow shot out like a dragon!
Ignoring spatial distance, the bow and arrow in his hand pierced the hidden core of the Shadow Demon god in the terrified gaze of the Shadow Demon god. Then, with its remaining momentum, it attacked from both sides with the pillar of light, simultaneously striking the core of the Giant Rock god's divine kingdom!

"No!"

"what!"

Two short, shrill screams rang out almost simultaneously. Under the attack of Yue Fei, a powerhouse at the "quasi-true god" level, two supreme gods, along with their divine kingdoms, perished.

It exploded into two brilliant and cruel energy fireworks in the sky, and its divinity was completely annihilated!
This scene stunned all the alien armies nearby that were attacking other human-affiliated forces.

"What is that? Yue Fei's Beiwei Army, the 'quasi-god' of the Qianxia side? Isn't he currently at war with Japan?!"

"Damn it! The intelligence was wrong! The border between Inari and Japan... the fighting seems to have stopped?!"

"Stop?! Look over there! That's... the divine army of the Sakura Kingdom? They're attacking our flank together with the people of Qianxia!"

Near the "Highland Heaven," where the Sakura Kingdom and the Inner Summer Kingdom once stood in confrontation, the gate of white bones opened wide, and more than eight hundred solemn deities, each carrying the unique Daoist aura of "Takamagahara," flew out like shooting stars...

However, their target was not Qianxia, ​​with whom they had been fighting, but rather several alien allied forces that were besieging Qianxia's flank!
"Puff puff……"

These deities from the Cherry Blossom Kingdom acted ruthlessly, even going so far as to "self-destruct" their own marks, instantly stunning many unprepared alien deities, and even destroying their divine kingdoms...

This is how summer, with the help of the projection power of the "Eight-Foot Mirror," gathers the "divine imprint" in the high plateau sky to participate in this battle!
After all, it was once a "celestial dynasty" that possessed three true gods. These gods were not weak in combat, especially as 'projections', they had no need to fear death...

Under the calculations of "Skynet", the precise participation in the battle... immediately dealt another heavy blow to many alien gods who were rampaging in Qianxia territory!
At the same time, even more chilling news, transmitted through a cross-dimensional communication technique, reverberated through the minds of the alien leaders who had mobilized their entire forces.

"Report! Your Majesty! Something terrible has happened! The human race... the human army has suddenly appeared on the outskirts of our ancestral land! The number is enormous, and there are at least three quasi-true god level experts leading the army!"

"Thirteen royal-level lairs on the border of my 'Zerg Dynasty' clan were simultaneously attacked by the 'Guangwu Dynasty' human race and have all fallen!!"

"The capital of the vampire 'Dark Night Dynasty' has been attacked by the naval fleet of the human 'Great Ming Dynasty'! The vampire prince requests reinforcements!"

"Several large tribes of the 'Orcish Empire' were wiped out by a cavalry force calling itself the 'Great Tang Expeditionary Army,' led by Li Jing, the Duke of Wei of the Great Tang!" (End of Chapter)
