Conferred God: Started from Swallowing the Heaven-Repairing Stone

Chapter 429 The Saint Departs
"If the world is not at peace and the chaos continues, it will inevitably lead to endless disasters. When the world is destroyed by the disasters, who will be to blame?"

Yuanshi Tianzun snorted coldly and retorted with a disdainful tone.

He and Tongtian Patriarch each insisted on their own ideas, and neither could convince the other. That's right, if they could convince each other, their relationship would not have reached the point it is today.

"If all living beings follow the will of Heaven, the world will be peaceful. However, if all living beings lose the desire to strive, the whole world will become lifeless, without any vitality, like a pool of stagnant water. It would be better to destroy it."

Tong Tian Jiaozhu was not convinced and retorted with the same disdain. Seeing that he was unwilling to admit defeat, Yuan Shi Tianzun felt offended and became furious, and was about to lecture him.

However, at this moment, the figure of the Great Purity Saint suddenly appeared, and said to the two of them helplessly: "Stop arguing, the Chaos Tide is about to take shape, you should follow me to the outer chaos and suppress the Chaos Tide."

The Saint Taiqing was in a lot of trouble. He had been trying to mediate the conflict between the two. But when it came to a dispute over ideas, even brothers were useless and no one could persuade them.

Moreover, as their cultivation became higher, the conflict between them became more serious. Previously, they were just quarreling, but now, they were about to fight over a single disagreement.

Out of desperation, the Saint Taiqing had to try his best to prevent the two from meeting each other, but this was only a temporary solution. As the conflict intensified, it was inevitable that the two would clash again.

Just like this time, if a chaos tide had not suddenly erupted from outer space, requiring the saints to suppress it, the two would probably have started fighting while arguing.

Therefore, Saint Taiqing, who originally hated the man who secretly stirred up the chaotic tide, could not help but feel a little grateful to him.

If he hadn't intervened, Tong Tian Jiaozhu and Yuan Shi Tianzun would have had to fight today. If that happened, it would have been a joke to everyone.

“Go, go, go!”

Saint Taiqing didn't waste any words. He said "go" three times in a row, and without paying attention to the reactions of the two, he directly pulled them towards the chaos outside the sky.

At the same time, the other saints also set out, each using their own methods to head to the chaos outside the sky to suppress the impending chaos tide.

This is a great catastrophe for heaven and earth. If we are not careful, the world will be in danger of collapse, so all the saints need to join forces to resist it.

……

…………

"The Saints are finally gone!"

As soon as the saint left, a group of powerful people over there sensed it and felt that their chance had come.

In the past, they were restrained by the saints, so they did not dare to do anything, lest they be suppressed by the saints. But now that the saints are gone, they no longer have to worry about anything, and can do whatever they want.

As for whether the saint will settle accounts with them after his return, there is a saying that the law cannot punish the masses. As long as there are enough strong people who take action, even if they are saints, there is nothing they can do and they can only pretend that nothing happened.

Moreover, even if the saints really do settle accounts, that will be a matter for later, so there is no rush. Let's do things well first, and maybe after that, they won't be afraid of the saints anymore.

"Tsk tsk, this is beyond my expectation. I thought the Immortal Alliance could not hold back and attacked Kunpeng first."

"I never thought that it was Kunpeng who took the initiative to attack the human race. As expected of Kunpeng, he is trying to survive from death and fight for a glimmer of hope for himself in a desperate situation."

"But it doesn't matter. Fight, fight. The harder the better. This way, I, the ancestor, will have a chance to seize the Buzhou Ding."

Deep in the underworld, in the sea of ​​blood, with the departure of the saint, the old ancestor of the Styx, who had kept a low profile for a long time, quietly showed his head and looked in the direction of Longzhou.

He was waiting, waiting for the Jade Emperor and others to leave Longzhou, fight to the North Sea, and fight with Kunpeng. In this way, he could take advantage of the emptiness of the Immortal Alliance, rush into Longzhou, and seize the Buzhou Ding.

"Kunpeng's strength should not be underestimated. He also has the treasure I lent him to protect him. I think he can hold on for a while even if he is defeated."

"If I take advantage of this opportunity, the chances of successfully taking away the Buzhou Ding are very high. However, the magical power left by the Queen Mother Hou Tu is not so easy to break, so I need to prepare early."

The ancestor of the Styx thought helplessly that there was no problem with Kunpeng, but there was a problem on his side.

For some reason, the Queen Mother Hou Tu suddenly became wary of him. Before leaving the Netherworld and heading to the outer sky to suppress the tide of chaos, she deliberately left behind a magical power to restrict him and prevent him from leaving the Netherworld easily.

This made the Styx Patriarch very angry, thinking that Hou Tu Niangniang was preventing him from becoming a Taoist. Unfortunately, Hou Tu Niangniang was very powerful and was one of the best among all the saints.

Even if the old man of the Styx was dissatisfied with her, he could only endure it and dare not speak out.

Fortunately, although the magical power left by Hou Tu Niangniang is powerful, due to her absence, the Styx has noticed the flaw. With some effort, it may be possible to crack it.

Therefore, although Minghe hoped that Kunpeng and the Immortal Alliance would have a conflict, he did not want them to have a decisive battle immediately. It would be better to slow down and lay the groundwork for a while, and then it would not be too late to have a decisive battle after he broke the magical power left by Hou Tu Niangniang.

…………

As Jiang Ziya cultivated his primordial spirit and entered the realm of celestial immortals, his understanding of the Dharma image of Yuanshi Yuqing Zhenwang became deeper.

He only felt endless mysteries flowing in his mind, and he became more and more adept at controlling the bodies of the soldiers. It was as if all the soldiers had become a part of his body, and the power ran through their bodies, moving at his will.

Relying on this mysterious state, facing the increasingly powerful Kunpeng image, Jiang Ziya, who had originally fallen into a disadvantage, gradually kept up with his rhythm, controlling the Xuanniao image, and fought fiercely with it again.

In this way, after about two or three days, reinforcements from the princes from all directions finally arrived.

Then, rays of divine light flashed in the void, transforming into tall gates in the air. Then, armies formed into battle formations and walked out of them, carrying different military flags. There were huge crowds of people, and the shouts of killing were earth-shattering.

In an instant, a monstrous bloody aura swept in, along with the mighty aura of war, making the world filled with murderous grimness.

Although they did not take action, when the reinforcements from the princes from all directions arrived at that station, they immediately attacked with the momentum of thousands of troops, like a landslide and tsunami, and rushed towards the Kunpeng image that was fighting with the Xuanniao image.

Immediately, under the impact of this momentum, the image of Kunpeng immediately showed signs of instability, as if it was about to explode.

Seeing this, the North Sea demon soldiers that formed the image of Kunpeng were horrified. Then they separated from the image of Xuanniao without hesitation, flapped their wings, and fled to the rear without looking back.

The reinforcements from the four lords had arrived, and the situation had immediately changed. Now they were the ones at a disadvantage, and if they didn't leave, they would probably be annihilated.

Therefore, seeing that the situation was not favorable to them, the soldiers of the North Sea Demon Clan withdrew directly without staying to fight to the death.

"Hu~~"

"The reinforcements have finally arrived." Seeing the reinforcements coming, Jiang Ziya couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. His tense mind also relaxed.

Then, there was a loud bang, and the army formation was broken up. The huge image of the black bird turned into countless soldiers, who fell into the city and collapsed to the ground, their faces full of weakness.

The continuous high-intensity combat made these soldiers feel uncomfortable. Their magic power was almost completely drained, and even their vitality was damaged. Only a small number of people with deep foundation retained some magic power.

After the army was disintegrated, Jiang Ziya did not bother to recuperate his vitality, but first released his divine consciousness to count the number of people. It turned out that only 900,000 of the million-strong army were left, with a total of 100,000 killed.

Don't think that the army formation is a whole, and as long as the army formation is not broken, the soldiers who make up the army formation will not die. In fact, even if the army formation is not broken, the soldiers who make up the army formation will still die.

It was just that he was not killed by an attack from outside, but died because of exhaustion. In order for the army to maintain its operation, it needed to draw the magic power of the soldiers.

The more intense the military formation was, the more mana it would draw. If the soldiers had deep mana that was inexhaustible, then no matter how the formation drew, there would be no problem.

Unfortunately, most soldiers have a limit to their mana. Therefore, if a soldier's mana recovery speed cannot keep up with the speed of the army's mana extraction, it won't be long before he dies of exhaustion.

Even their flesh and blood will be squeezed dry, and not even their bodies will be left. Only a true spirit will remain, heading towards the netherworld in a daze.

When fighting in military formations, the casualty rate is actually not lower than fighting with real swords and guns, and may even be higher. It's just that it doesn't look as bloody.

After the great war, more than 100,000 people died, but there was no blood and no corpses left.

Without visual experience, no matter how many people died, it was just a string of numbers. It was difficult for others to feel the cruelty of the scene.

"Ah, they are all warriors of my human race. When the war in the North Sea is over, I will petition the king to bury them with honor and hold a grand sacrificial ceremony for them."

Coming back to his senses, Jiang Ziya sighed and said in a sad tone. In the prehistoric times, a grand burial for the dead was not only an honor, but also a blessing.

The more grand the funeral, the more sacrifices were offered, the stronger the power generated. Then, this power would act on the souls of the soldiers, causing them to transform.

After the transformation, if they do not want to reincarnate, they can stay in the netherworld and dominate the world. If they are willing to reincarnate, they will have the talent for cultivation in the next life.

Jiang Ziya promised to bury his dead soldiers with great honor, which was said not only to the dead but also to the living.

The purpose is to appease the soldiers, ensure their safe retreat, and thus inspire their fighting spirit.

"Lü Gong is a man of great talent. We admire him."

At this time, the reinforcements who had arrived had time to come forward and congratulate Jiang Ziya.

The princes from all directions were all well-informed and naturally knew that Jiang Ziya was extraordinary. After meeting him, they all wanted to make friends with him.

For someone like him who is destined to become a sage of the human race, even if we cannot be on good terms with him, we must never be hostile to him.

Jiang Ziya’s surname was Jiang and his clan name was Lü. Men were referred to by their clan names instead of their surnames, and because he had a high status, people called him Lü Gong.

"Gong" does not only refer to a duke, it is also a respectful title. People of high status, ability and virtue are also respectfully called "Gong".

Since Jiang Ziya had entered the mortal world and wanted to strive for wealth and fame, he naturally had to be humble and modest. Facing the flattery of the crowd, he remained calm and polite to them.

It was not until a long time later that they got to the point, which was to fight against the North Sea monsters.

"When it comes to commanding troops, none of us are as good as Lu Gong. As for what to do, Lu Gong only needs to give orders, and we will follow them."

When it came to business, everyone had the same opinion and handed over the matter of leading the troops to Jiang Ziya, saying that they would all follow his arrangements.

Jiang Ziya's ability had just been proven. Even if everyone put together, they were still far inferior to him. It could even be said that in the entire prehistoric world, it was estimated that there were few who were stronger than him in leading troops.

With such a person around, we naturally have to make use of him and give him the task of commanding the troops to increase our chances of winning.

As for sacrifice, they were not afraid of it. As long as Jiang Ziya could train a strong army, they would be able to accept it even if half of the soldiers he brought with him were sacrificed.

The people gave Jiang Ziya the power to command the army, but it was not without cost. Jiang Ziya helped them train the soldiers and taught them the art of war, which was the cost.

This is a way to strengthen a country, a priceless treasure. Just sacrificing some soldiers can exchange for this secret method, which is undoubtedly worth it for the princes of all directions.

Therefore, they were so decisive and handed over the power of commanding the army to Jiang Ziya without any hesitation. If they wanted to learn his secret method, they had to pay a price.

"Okay, I feel relieved with what you said. In this battle in the North Sea, our human race will definitely win."

The support of the princes from all directions gave Jiang Ziya great confidence, and his voice became much more excited. Then, without taking a rest, he quickly integrated the armies of various countries and formulated corresponding military formations for them, striving to improve their combat effectiveness as soon as possible.

It won’t be long before the next war breaks out. The reinforcements from the four lords have arrived, and the main force of the North Sea Monster Clan won’t be far away.

Therefore, Jiang Ziya must seize the time and race against time to improve his strength in order to increase his chances of winning and reduce casualties after the war breaks out.

……

"Kill!"

The war in the North Sea Kingdom has temporarily ended, but on the other side, at the junction of the East Sea and the North Sea, shouts of killing are heard everywhere. The dragon army and the demon army are fighting fiercely, and the blood that flows has dyed the entire sea red.

Originally, the Ten Demon Saints wanted to wait until the North Sea Demon Clan suffered heavy losses before taking action, but unfortunately, plans could not keep up with changes.

The appearance of Jiang Ziya disrupted their deployment, forcing them to send troops early to snipe the dragon army in the East China Sea to relieve the pressure on the North Sea monster tribe.

The military strategy was too outrageous, causing the human race's strength to rise sharply. Seeing this, the ten demon saints naturally knew that they could not wait any longer. If they waited any longer, they would probably receive news of the North Sea demon race's tragic defeat.

So, they immediately sent troops to support the North Sea Monster Clan. But on their way, they happened to run into the Dragon Clan army. Then, the two sides fought without any hesitation.

"Kunpeng is quite capable. He was able to persuade the remnants of the demon clan to join forces with him. However, this is a good thing. It just happens that the remnants of the demon clan can be wiped out at the same time."
