Lord of the Earth

The core area of ​​Qianxia—representing the economic center of this auspicious imperial dynasty—is known as the "City of Gods."

At this moment, the void seemed to boil, and four "quasi-true god kingdoms" with different attributes but equally terrifying power descended like four world-destroying stars, locking it firmly in place!
A quasi-god named "Lava Troll" whose body was covered in flowing lava and made of obsidian; a quasi-god named "Soul Eater" whose figure was ethereal and seemed to be formed from the wails of countless ghosts; a "Void Raider" with four pairs of sharp insect wings on its back and compound eyes that flashed with cold calculation; and a "Undead Lord" who held a white bone scepter and was surrounded by the laws of withering and decay!
Each of these four beings once dominated several great worlds and possessed a terrifying record of destroying countless civilizations.

If this "divine city" were not the "economic core" of Qianxia, ​​and if the main sections of the Great Wall stretching for thousands of miles around it were of "glass" quality, indestructible, and if there were not "sacrificial altars" such important artifacts that gathered the sacrificial power of sages of past generations, and were personally managed by Wang Yangming, who had already stepped into the realm of quasi-true gods.

The first wave of impact, which contained the power of the four laws of destruction, soul, space, and death, would probably be enough to cause this city to "break through"!
Even so, under the combined pressure of the four veteran quasi-true gods, the defensive light barrier around the entire city trembled violently, emitting a tooth-grinding, humming sound as if glass was about to shatter.

"cracking--!!!"

At this moment, a cry of an eagle, piercing through the heavens and earth, carrying the domineering power of ancient times, came from the highest sky!

"Moo-!!!"

Immediately following, another roar, deeper than the pulse of the earth and wilder than the ancient thunder god's war drum, erupted from the depths of the earth! The roar carried an unparalleled sense of power, which temporarily froze the "Earth Laws" emanating from the "Lava Troll" divine kingdom, causing its energy connection with the molten core to stagnate!
Two overwhelming auras, one gold and one white, arrived like two divine swords that could cleave the heavens and the earth.

The golden light faded, revealing its form: a gigantic bird of unparalleled majesty. Its feathers were forged from the purest sun gold, and its golden claws seemed capable of capturing the sun, moon, and stars. In particular, its golden eyes seemed to hold the power of wind and thunder, and it looked down upon the world with disdain and arrogance.
"The Golden-Winged Roc King is here... How dare you juniors be so insolent in this place?"

The white light dissipated, revealing a white divine bull that seemed to have emerged from the ancient wilderness. Its horns were as imposing as iron towers, and its muscles were as bulging as mountains. As its four hooves pounded, the elements of earth, wind, water, and fire subtly followed each other. The white breath that spewed from its nostrils was sometimes black and sometimes white, possessing a terrifying power that could disrupt yin and yang and confuse the five elements!
"I, Old Niu, am not someone to be trifled with!"

The moment these two beings appeared, they displayed overwhelming power.

With a flap of its wings, the Golden-Winged Roc transformed into a golden streak of light that cleaved the heavens and earth. Its speed was so great that even the "Void Raider," a quasi-true god known for its speed, could only catch a fleeting afterimage!

A flash of golden light appeared, and a claw imbued with the power of wind and thunder and extreme sharpness fiercely grabbed at the ethereal soul of the "Soul Devouring Demon" quasi-true god. At the same time, an iron wing slashed horizontally like a heavenly blade, forcing the "Void Raider" to abandon its blockade of the divine city space...

On the other side, the Mighty Bull Demon King roared and, without using any fancy supernatural powers, simply raised his forelegs, which seemed capable of crushing continents, and with pure power that could shatter stars, stomped down on the "Lava Troll"!

At the same time, its thick tail lashed out like a divine whip, striking the "Undead Lord" who was releasing death and decay ripples. Where the tail passed, space collapsed and all laws retreated!
"What?! The Golden-Winged Roc and the Mighty Bull Demon King... weren't those two ferocious gods killed by a true god during the 'Battle of Heaven', their bodies and souls annihilated?!"

The four alien quasi-gods all paled.

Quasi-gods, even in the vast universe, are already beings standing at the pinnacle of countless living beings, enough to establish sects and dominate a star field.

During their time, the Golden-Winged Roc and the Bull Demon King were so fierce and renowned for their achievements that their fame was no less than that of many newly emerging "true gods"!
They were unparalleled geniuses, rare in their respective races, possessing undisputed true god-level qualities and rarely matched in combat power. Had they not been attacked by "true gods" in the past, they would not have been wiped out!

Now that it has reappeared, even those of similar strength are surprised.

In theory, only true gods who have condensed the "Immortal Dao Fruit" can be reborn after their fall. They were personally killed by true god-level beings, and even their "True Spirit Marks" should have been completely wiped out from the river of time!

Now, they have not only "resurrected," but have also appeared on the Qianxia battlefield in their full glory. The significance behind this has made these alien powerhouses, who have completely broken ties with the "human race," quite uneasy!

"Have the Mighty Bull Demon Clan and the Golden-Winged Roc Clan also sided with Qianxia?"

"And there's the nine-tailed fox, who seems to be a 'princess' of the nine-tailed fox clan..."

Although "Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Tu Shan Clan" is currently only at the peak of deity cultivation, she comes from "Qingqiu," the supreme holy land of the fox clan.

With a noble bloodline, he is the offspring of a top-tier true god of the fox clan, and holds a transcendent status within the fox clan!

The appearance of these three powerful figures, who should have been lost to the annals of history, and their clear stance on the side of Qianxia, ​​undoubtedly cast a huge shadow over the alien alliance, casting an extremely ominous premonition over them.

However, Qian Xia's astonishing resources and backup plans go far beyond this!

At almost the same time, another battlefield under immense pressure—"Liangshan Marsh"—was also taking place.

This place is under attack by a massive sea creature legion, led by a quasi-true god of the sea creatures who wields the true artifact "Deep Tide Halberd." The raging waves he unleashes contain the power of laws that can tear apart the land, and the entire water defense line is already on the verge of collapse!

"My life is over!"

Just as Song Jiang's natal artifact, the "Flag of Acting on Behalf of Heaven," was being suppressed by the "True Artifact" in the opponent's hands, and it seemed that the entire Liangshan Marsh was about to be shattered in one move!
"Waaaah! You sea monster over there, stop your arrogance! Take this from me, Old Pig, with my Nine-Toothed Rake!"

A rough, reckless yet powerful roar, like a thunderclap in dry land, overwhelmed the roar of the waves. A flash of golden light appeared above the lake, and a giant in golden armor descended with a bang!

Wearing a bright silver winged crown that shone in the sunlight and a chainmail golden armor, he had a large belly, but he did not appear clumsy at all. Instead, he was as imposing as a deep pool and a majestic mountain, exuding a magnificent divine power like a reversed Milky Way.

What is particularly striking is the nine-toothed rake in his hand, gleaming with precious light. The tips of the teeth swirled with the illusory images of fading stars and surging waves of the Milky Way. It was the divine weapon of the former Grand Admiral of the First Immortal Court of the Human Race!
Faced with the attack from that quasi-true god of the sea race, powerful enough to pierce through "Liangshanbo", this pig-headed god general opened his round eyes in anger, his body radiating divine light, and the illusory image of the Milky Way appeared behind him.

"Give me, Old Pig, a break!"

The rake and the deep blue halberd clashed violently!

In an instant, it was as if a Milky Way had descended from the heavens, and the phantoms of countless stardust and water waves crashed down with the rake. Its power was so great that it overwhelmed the light of the true divine weapon in the opponent's hand!
A deafening roar, as if two worlds had collided, was heard, and the light of the "Deep Tide Halberd" in the hands of the quasi-true god of the sea race dimmed.

The divine kingdoms of the ordinary gods that he ruled behind him were shattered, and along with many "holy spirits," they were submerged and purified by the illusory image of the surging celestial river, leaving no trace!

And in the north of Qianxia, ​​there is a fortress with the inscription "Liusha City".

The city is under attack by a main force of the undead legion from the "Shadow Realm." Countless twisted dark souls converge into a death tide that corrodes everything, and the defensive runes on the city walls are rapidly dimming under the erosion of the tide. "General Curtain-Roller is here, upholding the righteous path and cleansing away the demonic aura!"

A deep, steady roar echoed from the center of the city.

A divine general with an indigo-blue face, a bristling beard, and a towering, imposing figure emerged from the void, clad in dark, gilded armor and wielding a gleaming staff inscribed with the ancient characters for "Subduing Demons." He led countless celestial soldiers, their armor gleaming and their ranks impeccably disciplined.

His face was solemn, his eyes were firm, and he showed no fear in the face of the surging, howling tide of dark souls. He simply slammed his demon-slaying staff down heavily!
"town!"

A vast, calm, and seemingly stabilizing aura, capable of settling the four seas and eight wastelands and smoothing away all turmoil, spread out from him. The formation he formed with the heavenly soldiers behind him instantly transformed into an insurmountable "stabilizing force."

The dark tide, powerful enough to erode the soul and destroy all things, crashed against the golden light line. It was like a raging wave crashing against an ancient reef. Apart from stirring up black resentment that scattered all over the sky, it could not advance even an inch. With the swing of the staff, peaceful yet domineering golden light swept out. Wherever it passed, dark souls disappeared like snow meeting the scorching sun, screaming mournfully!

In the southern border city of Silvermoon, a vicious "soul-devouring plague" and "aging curse" are engulfing the city. Soldiers and civilians are falling in droves, their souls and life force being drained by an invisible force, creating a critical situation.

"The moonlight, pure and bright, washes away evil spirits and soothes pain!"

A clear, melodious, and ethereal voice, seemingly emanating from the Moon Palace, instantly soothed the fear and despair in countless hearts.

The cool, clear moonlight, without warning, pierced through the dark clouds and deathly aura above the battlefield, gently scattering down.

In the moonlight, a graceful fairy figure appeared, holding a jade rabbit. She was dressed in an elegant moon palace dress, and her face was shrouded in a hazy glow, making it difficult to see clearly. However, she possessed a holy, tranquil, and otherworldly beauty.

She did not participate in the direct killings; she simply stood in the clear moonlight, her slender hands gently waving her wide sleeves.

The cool moonlight seemed to possess life and will, gently caressing every wounded human warrior. Wherever the moonlight touched, the spreading plague of soul-devouring insects receded like a tide, the vicious curse of aging vanished, and the wounds of the warriors' bodies and souls healed at a visible speed. Negative emotions such as anxiety and fear were also washed away, and their hearts returned to peace and courage.

However, for necromancers and evil monsters who unleash plagues and curses, this seemingly gentle moonlight becomes the deadliest weapon. Their spells are frozen, their bodies are encased in ice, and their movements become sluggish as if trapped in a quagmire, instantly turning them from hunters into lambs to the slaughter!
"It's the legendary Chang'e! The fairy has appeared and descended to earth to save us!"

The people of Qianxia, ​​who had been in despair, were suddenly overwhelmed with emotion and tears welled up in their eyes!

Meanwhile, on the battlefield outside the "Mo Family Mechanized City," seven ethereal and graceful figures of different colors fluttered in—the seven fairies.

They were dressed in fiery red, vibrant green, or mysterious and noble purple... Each wielding a different magical artifact, they sprinkled sweet rain to repair the damaged mechanical city walls and waved colorful ribbons to bind powerful alien war beasts.

Among them, the woman dressed as an envoy was the most eye-catching!
She had no offensive magical artifacts in her hands, only countless seemingly soft and harmless seven-colored silk threads that moved and danced between her slender fingers.

These threads are incredibly light, seemingly unaffected by space and matter, and silently drift toward the alien gods who are commanding their armies or preparing powerful divine spells. The threads do not cause pain or harm when they touch the body, but seem to directly connect to the "thread of fate" of the target!
Enemies caught in this invisible "net of fate" suddenly feel their luck gloomy, their divine power inexplicably sluggish, their carefully calculated attacks always go astray due to various inexplicable minor accidents, and their cooperation with their companions frequently suffers from low-level mistakes. They can only exert 50 or 60% of their full combat power, feeling extremely frustrated!

"She is the legendary Weaver Girl, who can weave threads that control destiny!"

These divine imprints, awakened and guided from the depths of the "Heavenly Court Ruins," actually summoned a portion of the will and power of the former Heavenly Court's righteous gods, who descended upon the mortal world at this critical moment concerning the survival of civilization.

Their arrival not only instantly relieved the urgent needs of many key battlefields, but also greatly filled the gap in Qianxia's combat capabilities in the high-end field.

This caused a decisive shift in the course of the war involving the "invasion of all races and gods".

"These are... immortals and gods! The true gods of the legendary 'First Celestial Court' era of humanity! Didn't they vanish with the collapse of the Celestial Court?!"

"The 'gods' of the human race have actually been resurrected? How is that possible... Could it just be a mark left behind that has been awakened?"

"No, it's not a mark. Their power and their own souls are newly born... This cannot be faked!"

"Oh no, this really is a trap. The humans have set it up long ago, waiting for us to walk right into it..."

Panic and despair spread like wildfire among the alien alliance. Qianxia's endless and unfathomable trump cards completely shattered their psychological defenses.

And with that, the final piece of this intricate web of intrigue was finally laid down.

"Heavenly Legion, form ranks! Follow me—into battle!"

A majestic command resounded through the sky.

The heavenly soldiers who were brought there did not fight individually, but under the command of a commander who wore a Qilin Radiant Armor, held a command flag, and had a stern face, they quickly assembled into battle formations with a murderous aura and strict discipline.

It was none other than Wu Qi, the second sage of military strategy!

He is not only the commander of the Qianxia Qilin Legion, but also the "Heavenly Army Commander-in-Chief" secretly appointed by Xia Tian for this battle, responsible for integrating and commanding all the Heavenly Court's armed forces summoned through the ruins!
This man, along with Bai Qi, Yue Fei, and Han Xin, is a figure worthy of being listed among the "Ten Great Generals of China"!

It itself has also condensed the "prototype of Dao Fruit" and stepped into the "quasi-true god" level. Its ultimate understanding of military strategy, combined with the unique combat system of these god-level "heavenly soldiers", makes the ancient battle formations it forms, such as the "Heavenly Net Formation" and the "Twenty-Eight Constellations Formation", increase in power exponentially, and can even surround and kill top gods!

Under the joint command and coordination of four of the most outstanding commanders in Chinese history—Wu Qi, Bai Qi, Han Xin, and Yue Fei—the Qianxia forces not only stabilized their precarious defenses but also sounded the horn for a full-scale counter-offensive!
A technologically advanced war legion in the form of angels, titans, dragons, and phoenixes emerges alongside celestial soldiers wielding golden armor and silver spears. Mythical figures and historical heroes fight side by side, with divine magic and military formations clashing in a dazzling display...

Countless alien invaders were divided, surrounded, and annihilated. Furthermore, a large number of Chinese allied forces, following the passages opened up by the "Grand Line" and the "Ark of Crossing," launched a counter-offensive into the alien homeworlds, nests, and resource territories whose defenses were weakened due to the deployment of their main forces!
