Eternal Night.

Chapter 962 Heavenly Party

Wang Wudi is receiving his war equipment.

As a member of the Heavenly Army, Wang Wudi must also participate in the Heavenly Army's external wars.

However, the benefits in Heaven are quite good. There is an intelligent system that calculates the merits of all personnel in external battles, and these merits are eventually converted into Heavenly Merit Points.

The Heavenly Merit Points are essentially the currency of the Heavenly Court, but they are only used internally. They are like credit currency, which can be exchanged for almost all material goods and benefits within the Heavenly Court. Promotion also requires sufficient Heavenly Merit Points. Of course, Heavenly Merit Points are only one of the conditions for promotion. Other conditions, such as strength, service time, and recommendations from superiors, are also necessary.

Contrary to popular belief, the Heavenly Court did not stagnate with the slumber of its high-ranking officials. Even though most areas and departments of the Heavenly Court were asleep, the lower-level institutions and the departments that accommodated elites from other races continued to operate.

As long as one cultivates the Heavenly Court's techniques or has some kind of affinity with the Heavenly Court, one will have the opportunity to join the Heavenly Court. For example, Wang Wudi's affinity is the Heavenly Court Meditation Technique. As long as he cultivates this technique and enters the Heavenly Gate in meditation, he can receive information sent by the Heavenly Court. As long as his strength and aptitude meet the requirements, he can join the Heavenly Court system and become one of the Heavenly Soldiers.

Wang Wudi dominated the world, achieving the level of indestructible martial arts in a near-magic-free environment. He then cultivated the meditation technique to ascend to the Heavenly Court and reached the Heavenly Gate. His talent was extraordinary. To say that he was a dragon among men would be an insult to him. He was only trapped in his own predicament due to the times, the world, and his circumstances.

Having the opportunity to join the Heavenly Court, Wang Wudi naturally wouldn't give it up. He used his initial Heavenly Merit Points (derived from the assessment of his aptitude) to exchange for the method of refining the Human Emperor Banner. His plan was to sacrifice the entire world to the Heavenly Court as a way to provide the Heavenly Court with a real lower realm. If this plan succeeded, he would immediately gain a large amount of Heavenly Merit Points.

However, the world he inhabited was only a nascent, transcendental world, coveted by numerous demons and monsters. Chu Minghao also coveted this world, and after a fierce battle, his scheme failed. The world was almost shattered, and humanity only managed to seize a small piece. Wang Wudi's gain was to collect some of the world's elites and those with great fortune into the Human Emperor Banner as resources for his cultivation. However, the Heavenly Merit Points he had hoped for were nowhere to be found.

This made him deeply hate the Gaia humans who were the instigators, as well as Wu Pifu.

He kept this hatred in his heart, but unfortunately, after joining the Heavenly Court, he was not entirely free to do as he pleased. The Heavenly Court's Thirty-Three Heavens Outer Heaven is located in the Zero Point Level 1 Dream World. Not to mention Wang Wudi, even an Ascended Body could not move freely here. He had to rely on the Heavenly Court's civilized artifacts and the transcendent-level Great World Channel of the Heavenly Court's Thirty-Three Heavens Outer Heaven to enter and leave the Heavenly Court.

So, let alone seeking revenge against the Gaia humans, he couldn't even gather information about them.

Fortunately, the Heavenly Court has a considerable number of Heavenly Soldiers, who regularly issue missions through the artifacts of civilization and collect information about various dream worlds. They are not entirely ignorant of the outside world. As for the Gaia humans, Wang Wudi finally learned that they are the true civilization of this era.

From that time on, Wang Wudi harbored a malicious hope that the Heavenly Court would awaken in this era, and that this Gaia human would inevitably become a sacrifice for the awakening of the Heavenly Court.

As it turned out, the Heavenly Court did indeed awaken and truly made the Gaia humans its hunting target, but... Wang Wudi was not happy at all.

What?! I'm beating up Wu Pifu.JPG!?
No, no. Although Wang Wudi was arrogant, having achieved the level of "indestructible before gods" in a world almost devoid of magic, since joining the Heavenly Court, he had learned many secrets and the division of extraordinary strength. Moreover, he had personally experienced just how terrifying the so-called "sublimated body" was. As for the source, the Emperor-level beings of the Heavenly Court, they were mythical beings he dared not even dream of.

But that damn Wu Pifu is inhuman!

When they fought back then, Wu Pifu's strength wasn't even at the Gang Jin level. He only managed to escape with his life by relying on his strange abilities. But who knew that so little time had passed? As far as he knew, Wu Pifu had killed four Root Sources and dozens of Ascended Bodies.

If that were all, Wang Wudi would at most be skeptical, but he wouldn't be afraid. After joining the Heavenly Court, he had his own opportunities and worked hard. His strength was among the top of the extraordinary, far surpassing the geniuses touted by the Dream World civilization. In fact, given a hundred years, he might even be able to attempt to break through to the Ascension Body realm.

This speed is already terrifying; he truly deserves to be called a genius whose talent is rare even in a millennium.

But damn it, he personally witnessed Wu Pifu hacking his way into the South Heavenly Gate with a knife, and he really did hack his way through hundreds of streets without even blinking...

As far as he knew, at least a hundred of the Heavenly Court's origins, both those in slumber and those awakening, had completely vanished without a trace, and millions of heavenly soldiers and generals had been killed or wounded. That's right, Wu Pifu alone had killed over a million beings like himself!
And that's not all. In the Thirty-Three Heavens, the transcendental world where the Heavenly Court is located, more than sixteen layers collapsed. This is a transcendental world!
Then, among the four strongest emperors below the initial immortal level, the fates of the Antarctic Longevity Emperor and the Taiji Heavenly Emperor are unknown. These are the four emperors of the Heavenly Court! Each of them is at least at the strongest root level of 0.2, completely no less than, and even slightly stronger than, the Eternal Mother. Moreover, the Azure Emperor among them is at the root level of 0.1. These are four emperors!

After witnessing all of this firsthand, Wang Wudi was completely stunned.

As I said before... What?! I'm beating up Wu the Pifu.JPG!?
Although Wu Pifu has disappeared without a trace, it is highly likely that he was besieged and killed by the Root, or killed by the remaining North Pole Ziwei Emperor and East Pole Qinghua Emperor. But even though Wu Pifu is dead, the Gaia human civilization is still alive!
Wang Wudi, or rather, most of the awakened people in the Heavenly Court, from heavenly soldiers and generals to divine generals and celestial masters, and even several emperor-level originators, all felt numb to this inexplicable new era of true civilization.

Think about it. Based on the currently known information, the Gaia human civilization has three pillars, and Wu Pifu is one of them. Furthermore, judging from the memories and soul extraction information of dozens of individual Gaia humans captured by the Heavenly Court personnel, it seems that Wu Pifu isn't the strongest of the three pillars, or rather… perhaps the weakest. The weakest of all the hell?!
Wang Wudi and almost all the Heavenly Court personnel who knew all this were cursing and swearing.

The weakest one of all, do you want to hear what you're saying?
A real civilization that has only entered the dream world for two or three hundred years in a new era, with any one of the three strongest individuals in the race, could cut their way from the South Gate of Heaven into the Heavenly Court, destroying nearly half of the Heavenly Court's world, killing hundreds of Heavenly Court's Emperor-level Origin Sources, including two of the Four Emperors, and causing countless casualties among other Heavenly Court personnel. And you're telling me there are two more people like that?!
Who the hell is Heaven, you or us?!
To be honest, Wu Pifu's actions have stunned almost everyone in the Heavenly Court. Even the Northern Purple Emperor, who was once known as the most ruthless and bloodthirsty, expressed his hesitation about attacking the Gaia civilization in private and public. Although he said it was a matter of long-term planning, those in the know understand that this "long-term planning" never appeared in the words of this god of slaughter.

However, the one who truly holds the highest authority in Heaven has never been them, not even the Great Emperor of the North Pole Purple Star, but the supreme First Immortal, the First Immortal's agent, and the First Immortal's teacher before attaining enlightenment, the Great Emperor of the East Pole Azure Flower.

It was this eternal emperor who issued the order to launch a general attack on the Gaia human civilization. Moreover, He personally took action and refined the shattered sixteen layers of outer heavens into a no-man's-land internal circular cage. There were no living beings in it, only a dozen strange creatures transformed from the remnants of the root that had been completely transformed due to the collapse of the Heavenly Court.

Moreover, He did not use this newly crafted magical artifact to attack the Gaia humans, but instead suppressed it at the lowest level of the Thirty-Three Heavens after its restoration, sealing it away with a method of sealing.

No one knows what this Eternal Azure is thinking, but as the number one person below the First Immortal, His authority and majesty were supreme in the Heavenly Court before the First Immortal awakened. With a single command, the Heavenly Court, as the war machine of the strongest ancient civilization, was activated. The 100,000 Heavenly Soldiers and Generals who had already awakened and survived, the 5,000 Divine Generals and Celestial Masters, the eight Emperor-level Origins, the Great Emperor of the North Pole Purple Star, and the Great Emperor of the East Pole Azure Flower, the second person in the Heavenly Court, would all go into battle.

While this power is far inferior to that of the Heavenly Court at its peak, it is still unmatched by any other civilization. Even those ancient civilizations would absolutely not dare to stand in its way. Logically speaking, facing the true civilization of the new era should be a piece of cake...

However, due to the shock brought by Wu Pifu, everyone except the mysterious and unpredictable Wan Gu Zhi Qing was trembling in their hearts.

"Wang Wudi!"

A voice startled Wang Wudi from his reverie. He looked at the towering golden statue in front of him and immediately replied respectfully, "Yes."

The golden man nodded and handed Wang Wudi a longsword and a suit of armor, saying, "You are also proficient in the refining methods for your offensive and defensive weapons, and the total amount of spiritual energy attached to them has been filled..."

After receiving it, Wang Wudi lowered his head and followed the other heavenly soldiers to the teleportation platform in front.

At this moment, a woman approached Wang Wudi and simultaneously transmitted her voice to him: "Wang Wudi, this Gaia human civilization..."

"Shh!"

Wang Wudi's expression immediately changed, and he gave the woman a wink.

Both of them lowered their heads, using the most subtle magic to transmit information to each other.

"Could this be the civilization you've been inquiring about, the one with whom you have a deep grudge?" the woman asked curiously.

Wang Wudi laughed awkwardly, not even knowing what to say.

It's perfectly normal for a tiger to be enemies with a lion, or even with a hunter, a bear, or a wolf. But for a tiger, no, for an ant to be enemies with a dragon in the sky, that just doesn't seem right, does it?

He dared not say that he had a deep grudge against Wu Pifu, otherwise people would wonder why Wu Pifu didn't crush him with a single finger back then.
Just then, a light appeared in front of the teleportation platform. Wang Wudi and the woman didn't have time to talk. They each focused their minds and shouted, concentrating their divine senses on the standard swords and armor in their hands.

The Heavenly Court has broken through the entrance to the Absolute Truth Layer, and as non-sublimated and non-originating beings, they will step into the battlefield as the vanguard of the war!

The goal is the artifacts of human civilization, Gaia...

The mastermind!!
