Under Mu Yi's leadership, the human race flourished and occupied one-third of the land of Kyushu in just a century.

The original situation, where the demon race occupied half and the witch race occupied half, was broken by Mu Yi.

"Human Emperor! In recent days, the friction between us and the Witch Clan has become increasingly intense!"

Uncle Yu solemnly reported to Mu Yi that everyone belonged to different camps, so naturally they should follow their own camps.

As a result, although the human race was expanding, friction between the human and witch races, who were originally allied against the demon race, increased dramatically.

"understood!"

Mu Yi rubbed his temples. To be honest, development is a real hassle, especially in this three-way confrontation. There's so much intrigue and backstabbing that it leaves no room for respite.

Especially after Bai Ze and Xia Qi joined forces, even the slightest flaw would be immediately seized upon.

If Mu Yi hadn't been quite capable himself, he might have really suffered a few major setbacks.

"Let Qiongqi and the others go and fight Xingtian and Kuafu a couple of times, to make our stance clear and temporarily ease the conflict!"

Mu Yi's achievement was slaying the Four Fiends, but after their fall, their souls were transferred to the human race for rebirth.

The Four Fiends were reborn from among the human race through reincarnation, which, in a sense, can be considered as washing the Four Fiends back into human form.

When small-scale conflicts arise, the higher-ups of the Human Witch Clan deal with them by frequently mobilizing some experts to fight and then calming down the conflict between the two sides.

Then the outcome of the battle is used to determine who gets the friction.

While this approach cannot completely resolve the conflict, it at least keeps it within a certain range.

"Your Majesty, it seems some uninvited guests have arrived from the demon race!" Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva led Di Ting into the room.

"An uninvited guest?" Mu Yi asked, somewhat puzzled.

"They seem to be visitors from outer space!" Di Ting said uncertainly.

"Can't you hear the specific content?"

Mu Yi became interested. Di Ting was no ordinary divine beast. Without his restrictions, there were very few creatures in this world that could block its listening ability.

“There’s some strange force interfering with me!” Di Ting shook his head. Although he could hear it, all he heard was gibberish.

"That power can erode the mind. Di Ting has already been affected. I used Buddhist light to expel that power!"

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva picked up a relic and handed it to Mu Yi, but the relic was filled with a power that made people lose their minds.

Ordinary people would likely be corrupted and alienated by this power the moment they come into contact with it.

"Interesting, it seems our old friend can't sit still any longer!" Mu Yi sensed a familiar aura from this power.

This is exactly the same aura I felt back in the Great Ming Small World.

He never expected that his completely closed-off performance would actually lure out the real enemy.

The problem now is, where did these guys smuggle themselves in from?

However, he could roughly guess that it was inseparable from the involvement of those players on the cross-network. Only their involvement could have allowed these extraterrestrial visitors to appear silently.

Mu Yi did not start the screening immediately, fearing that he might alert the enemy. So he simply pretended not to know and arranged for Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and Di Ting to go down and rest first, while keeping a close eye on the movements of the demon race's Heavenly Court.

Mu Yi traveled through the void and arrived at the Pangu Palace, where Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, was already inside.

"Human Emperor!" Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, was somewhat puzzled. Mu Yi had actually come in person; she wondered what had happened.

Mu Yi explained the situation to Houtu Zuwu.

"I plan to start the second Lich War, and I need your cooperation!" Mu Yi revealed his plan in detail.

The arrival of these extraterrestrial visitors was a catalyst. Regardless of their purpose, since they chose to contact the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court, their goal was most likely aimed at the human race.

Therefore, launching a major war to force them out is the best option.

The more chaotic things get, the more likely the other party is to take advantage of the situation.

The Second Lich War broke out swiftly, fueled by the combined efforts of Mu Yi and Hou Tu, the Ancestral Witch.

The process of the outbreak was also very simple: Kuafu captured the Golden Crow of the demon race, Xing Tian killed the Ghost Chariot of the demon race, and Lü Dongbin killed a local great demon who had defected to the demon race's Heavenly Court.

The fall of the three great demons instantly triggered an emergency alert in the demon race's heavenly court.

The war began, with the human-shaman alliance and the demon army of the Heavenly Court engaging in an unprecedented battle before heaven and earth.

Its scale was several times larger and more intense than the First Lich War.

Mu Yi did not remain in the Human Emperor's Court to oversee and command, but instead personally went to the front lines to slay a powerful demon.

However, right after the death of the great demon of the demon race, someone used extremely high divination skills to sever Mu Yi's connection with the surrounding area.

This silent and stealthy severance must have been the work of an extremely skilled person, making it impossible for even Mu Yi to detect it immediately.

I was just a little uneasy, not knowing where it came from or where it would end; everything was unknown.

However, Mu Yi was a special individual after all, and in the instant when the heavenly secrets were in chaos, he discovered the problem from the perspective of the Heavenly Dao.

Above the tribe where he was, the sky was still blue with white clouds, just like usual, but the world had changed.

Within the Great World, Mu Yi's lips curled into a cold smile. With a flick of his finger, the blue sky and white clouds turned black, revealing the true nature of his current surroundings.

At this time, the tribe was covered by a huge, pitch-black container, cutting off its connection with the outside world.

"They've actually chosen to attack me directly?"

Mu Yi was somewhat surprised. Using his supernatural powers, he pointed out again, and a beam of light pierced through the darkness, causing the huge container to shatter inch by inch.

The power of this magical artifact lies in severing connections without being detected. Once discovered, it is naturally difficult to resist its destructive power.

At this moment, the magic weapon was broken, and the great human beings immediately noticed what was happening on Mu Yi's side. Just as they were about to send reinforcements, the demon race launched a counterattack.

This forced the human and witch races to fight, since many tribes were within their attack range, and leaving their tribes was almost tantamount to sending them to their deaths.

Moreover, no one was worried about Mu Yi's safety. Those who knew the details understood that this was a drill. If Mu Yi were to stumble, the next one to appear would be the real Emperor of the Nine Provinces.

"Come out, all of you! Stop hiding!" "Your Majesty, please forgive us! We were only acting under orders. Please don't hold a grudge against us!"

A figure dressed as a fisherman, wearing a straw raincoat and hat, and holding a harpoon appeared before Mu Yi.

It was Kunpeng, and what seemed like a normal provocation actually conveyed a different meaning.

"Since you're here, you're not leaving today!" Mu Yi immediately understood and responded coldly.

"Come out, all of you! The Human Emperor has spoken. What are you still hiding for? Do you really think you can hide?" Kunpeng casually twirled the harpoon in his hand and shouted with a grin.

"Hetu greets the Human Emperor!"

"Luo Shu greets the Human Emperor!"

Legend has it that during the time of the ancient Fuxi, a dragon-horse emerged from the Yellow River carrying the "Hetu" (River Map); a divine tortoise emerged from the Luo River carrying the "Luoshu" (Luo River Writing), which was presented to Fuxi. Fuxi then used these to develop the Eight Trigrams.

The He Shu and Luo Tu had followed Fu Xi for a long time and were enlightened by Fu Xi to become spirits. They were the two trusted confidants that Fu Xi himself placed in this exercise, so that they could get used to this kind of war in advance.

Suddenly, a giant dragon-horse appeared in the sky above the tribe. The dragon-horse was neither a dragon nor a horse. It had the body of a horse, the head of a dragon, the hooves of a horse, the claws of a dragon, and the scales of a dragon. It had some similarities to the dragon, but it was not entirely the same.

The dragon-horse strode through the air, and countless black and white dots appeared in the sky above the human tribes—this was the River Map.

Immediately, a great river appeared on the outskirts of the human tribe, flowing around the tribe. Some people couldn't help but unleash their magic to block it, only to find that the great river was visible but untouchable.

In the middle of that vast river, a huge black divine tortoise appeared; this black divine tortoise was the Luo Shu.

The black tortoise flashed by, and three lines appeared around the human tribe: a vertical line, a horizontal line, and a diagonal line. Originally, there were only three lines, but they immediately split into countless others.

The dragon horse and the black tortoise disappeared one after another. Countless black and white dots appeared on countless lines, resembling a chessboard. However, this was a super-large chessboard and chess pieces made up of the Luoshu and the Hetu.

These are the supernatural powers of the two divine beasts, evolved from the Eight Trigrams of the Primordial Heaven, and are the most suitable supernatural powers for them.

Legend has it that this formation can even hold off the emperor for a moment.

Mu Yi also became interested; he was genuinely curious whether he could overcome this great formation.

A deafening roar of thunder echoed through the sky. Faced with this supernatural power, Mu Yi directly unleashed the Tiger Soul Blade. The moment the Tiger Soul Blade was unleashed, a thunderous sound erupted. The yang energy of heaven and earth gathered, and extreme yang burst forth, drawing forth heavenly thunder and earthly fire, which heavily struck the net formed by the River Chart and the Luo River Book.

The net formed by the Hetu Luoshu seemed to collapse for a moment, but it immediately distributed the astonishing power of the Tiger Soul Blade to the surrounding area. No matter how strong the move was, once it was spread to a surface instead of a point, its power would be greatly reduced, and it could not withstand the super defense of the Hetu Luoshu.

When his first attempt failed, Mu Yi stopped selling it. The defense of the Hetu Luoshu was absolutely formidable; it was rumored that it could withstand the Emperor's attacks, which was probably not an exaggeration.

However, it only has defensive capabilities and no offensive power.

"The River Book and Luo Chart alone can probably only trap me for a while. I suppose you still have manpower. Since you're all here, why don't you come out and meet me!"

Mu Yi glanced at the void, snorted coldly, and suddenly a burst of light shot out from his hand.

Several figures suddenly fell out of the void.

Mu Yi squinted at a completely unfamiliar figure. He was certain that the person was not from Kyushu.

The person was dressed in a yellow cloak, obscuring their face, but exuded an aura that could erode one's mind, allowing Mu Yi to instantly recognize their identity.

Hastur the Unnamed One is one of the Great Old Ones from the Cthulhu Mythos, but it appears to be just an avatar.

On the other side, there was a somewhat familiar image: a giant Garuda, which appeared to be a remnant of the Hindu pantheon.

Apart from Hastur being an avatar, the others were the real Hastur, their powerful divine auras emanating from the surroundings.

At this moment, Mu Yi finally understood why the River Book and Luo Diagram had appeared here: it was to isolate this place and turn it into a forbidden zone.

"Xia Qi is quite interesting. He gathered these guys together and sent them to me in a package. Does he mean he wants to use me to take them out?"

Mu Yi squinted. Although he and Xia Qi had not met or spoken yet, Xia Qi must have his reasons for doing this. So he would act as a weapon and take down these guys for Xia Qi.

"Further words are useless, just kill him!"

Garuda was the first to lose his temper. Mu Yi could be said to be their mortal enemy in the Indian pantheon, not to mention the world of Yinglong, where the dead Garuda kings were all his offspring.

The wings, thousands of feet long, swept heavily towards the human tribe, but were blocked by a clean, white hand. The immense weight of the wings, weighing countless pounds, was gently supported by this hand.

"Since you're here, then die!"

Mu Yi then unleashed the Stone Bell Mountain, enveloping the human tribe within it. He drew his Tiger Soul Blade and coldly surveyed the numerous enemies before him.

Even though he was not a powerful emperor at this moment, but a normal, powerful god, he still showed no fear.

It was just one against many, nothing to him.

This is a good opportunity to test what the effect would be if an emperor with the status of a deity wielded powerful divine energy.

Mu Yi flipped his hand and took out a large bow. There was no arrow, but he drew the bow and shot straight at the target.

When Garuda's wings were pierced, Garuda realized that it wasn't that there were no arrows, but that Mu Yi had used space as an arrow.

The "arrows" that are shot can directly destroy space.

Moreover, because of the spatial effect, the arrows are fired instantaneously, leaving no time for reaction.

A howling wind swept towards Mu Yi, and Garuda was wounded in one shot, prompting the others to immediately take action. They gathered here to surround and kill Mu Yi.

Mu Yi remained calm and fired another arrow. This arrow entered the raging wind and instantly calmed it down.

The next arrow was fired, and it transformed into a howling gust of wind that swept towards everyone.

Everyone resisted, but just as Garuda flapped its wings and flew out of the whirlwind, an arrow that looked like a solid object flew over.

Garuda tried to dodge, but found that no matter how he tried, he couldn't avoid the arrow.

As he was dodging, he found himself bound. Although he immediately broke free, his body slowed down and he was hit by the arrow again.

"The River Chart and the Luo River Book, why are you just watching!" Garuda roared angrily.

Each of Mu Yi's arrows contained immense magical power, and the damage they caused could not be resolved by ordinary means.

However, the River Chart and Luo Book, which are supposed to be resistant to attacks, did not react at all, which was completely different from what was promised.

Even as Garuda roared, the Hetu and Luoshu showed no intention of intervening. (End of Chapter)
