Becoming an immortal and ancestor begins with the golden toad spitting out money.

"As expected, some people are unwilling to sit idly by and watch the Heavenly Court grow powerful, and are preparing to use the Undying Demon Lord as a pawn to wreak havoc on the world!"

After the Brahma sect's Lingshan became a subordinate force of the Heavenly Court, even if it was just a pretense, it changed the entire world's situation.

The Undying Demon Lord represents the "evil" side of this world. He cannot be killed or destroyed, but can only be suppressed. If the Undying Demon Lord were to break free, it would undoubtedly lead to widespread suffering and destruction.

As a result, there will inevitably be those who do not want the Heavenly Court to prosper, and the Undying Demon Lord will become the starting point to trigger or even change the course of the world.

"Could it be that the Dragon Emperor was also involved in this?"

Since ancient times, when the human race flourished, the dragon race was divided into two parts: one part served the Dragon Emperor in the four seas, and the other part was under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court, holding the divine power over rivers and lakes.

As the human race flourished, the sea races under the dragon race were hampered in many ways, most of the demon race lived in barren places, and most of the ancient gods ascended to the Taiyin and Taiyang.

From the perspective of undermining humanity's dominant position in the world, the Dragon Emperor is the most likely to take action, followed by the demon race and other ancient gods.

In ancient times, the Dragon and Phoenix Emperors vied for world dominance. Although the Phoenix Emperor died in battle, the Dragon Emperor was also seriously injured and disappeared for tens of thousands of years, which gave the Witch Clan, the Demon Clan, and the Human Clan the opportunity to rise.

After the Dragon Emperor appeared, the world was no longer the same as before. Some members of the Wu clan who comprehended the mysteries of heaven and earth experienced them and became Dongxuan cultivators who could mobilize the power of heaven and earth. They even overpowered the Wu clans who followed the Dongshen path and regarded themselves as gods.

At that time, the Wu tribe already had many powerful figures and had also won over a group of ancient gods, harboring ambitions to dominate the world.

It seems that the Dragon Emperor suffered a loss in the battle with the Phoenix Emperor, so he did not directly intervene. Instead, he supported the demon race to fight against the witch race. His goal was not achieved, but instead, it led to the birth of the human race from the witch race.

Humans are essentially of the same origin as the Wu tribe. The difference is that the Wu tribe reveres power, while humans are good at using wisdom. When the first human emperor, the Azure Emperor, also obtained great power, the human race began to rise.

As the Five Emperors were born one by one, the Dragon Emperor retreated to the four seas, the ancient gods ascended to the sun and moon, and the demon race hid in remote and barren lands.

The alien tribes of the northern frontier are the witch and demon tribes who still believe in ancient gods. They are skilled in physical strength and rapid-fire combat, and should not be underestimated.

In fact, Su Ji had already learned from Li Hui, who was already a famous general in the Northern Frontier, that there were still many members of the Demonic Sect among the alien tribes in the Northern Frontier.

These members of the evil cult must have been unable to stay in China and had no choice but to go to the northern border region to develop their influence.

Legend has it that the northern barbarians once slaughtered the people of an entire city to create a mound of corpses as a sacrifice to the immortal demon lord…

It now seems that whether the Undying Demon Lord feels threatened by the Golden Cave Wonderland and prepares to escape through the struggle for humanity, or whether the ancient gods behind the alien races want to disrupt the world, the Golden Cave Wonderland will face a calamity.

The Heavenly Court naturally received the news as well, but Lord Lu Tuo's expression changed slightly as he said, "The invasion of the northern barbarians is essentially a struggle between humanity. If they break into the White Rock Mountains and destroy the ancient formation, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Once the Heavenly Court takes action, it will give others grounds for criticism. If the immortals and gods are involved, the entire world could descend into chaos.

If Heaven does not interfere with humanity, then the human court will indeed find it difficult to stop the foreign army from the northern frontier.

"Is it really the only option to preserve the Golden Cave Wonderland and allow the Undying Demon Lord to be born?"

Once the war of humanity spreads to the White Rock Mountains, even the immortals and gods find it difficult to intervene. Su Ji has cultivated diligently for three years, but he has not yet met the basic conditions for opening up the path to sainthood, which makes the situation suddenly unsolvable.

Seeing the situation was so unpredictable, Lu Tuo Divine Lord could only say, "If the Undying Demon Lord is rescued by the alien army, the Heavenly Court will surely seek an opportunity to suppress him again. At that time, there may be powerful beings clashing with him..."

Clearly, the Heavenly Court's decision to hold back its actions was also intended to play the long game and catch bigger fish, but the price was hard for Su Ji to accept. Not only was the advancement plan of the [Golden Cave Wonderland] hindered, but it would also plunge the people of several states into misery.

Just then, Yan Tianchou, who had been silent all along, spoke up.

"After so many years of development, the East-West Chamber of Commerce has accumulated enough faith, even with the influence of Buddhism. If it were to become the God of Wealth, perhaps it could make some progress..."

Su Ji's position as the God of Wealth was not bestowed by the Heavenly Court with a [talisman], but was created by pure human faith, which makes its nature very different.

The advantage of being a human deity is that there are few restrictions. One can even consume all the incense offerings, prayers, and divine power in one fell swoop and unleash the combat power of an invincible god-king in a short period of time.

The downsides are also obvious: it is affected by the people's beliefs. Once the number of believers decreases, it will become weaker and weaker, consuming too much incense, prayers, and divine power, and may even fall from grace in a very short time.

As a result, even though there are several divine rulers in the human realm today, it is difficult for them to go all out to prevent the birth of the Undying Demon Lord. Not to mention what would happen if they lost, even if they won, they might lose their divine position due to the loss of divine power.

As for the East-West Chamber of Commerce at this time, they had already expanded their business to all parts of the world, and they didn't even dare to offend the rising Buddhist religion. Even if they could still expand, there wasn't much room for further growth.

"In that case, we can only try it as the God of Wealth!" Su Ji had no confidence in stopping the birth of the Undying Demon Lord, so he had no choice but to make this decision and give it a try.

Even if it means exhausting incense offerings, prayers, and even divine power in the process of hindering the Undying Demon Lord, we must do our best.

The northern barbarian tribes had rushed to the eastern part of Yuzhou, but it would still take them some time to reach the western side of the Baiyan Mountains. Just as Su Ji had predicted, the imperial court was only concerned with the capital and was relieved to see the northern barbarian army heading towards the Baiyan Mountains.

Under the leadership of Yan Tianchou, and with the help of the people's faith in the God of Wealth, the God of Wealth was quickly elevated to the level of a divine ruler.

Immediately, Yan Tianchou analyzed, "A God of Wealth at the Divine Lord level can unleash invincible Divine Lord battle power by consuming incense offerings, vows, and divine power, lasting for one hundred and thirty-six breaths..."

The power of the Invincible Divine Lord can withstand even the strongest beings, but it only lasts for a short period of a hundred breaths before being reduced to its original form.

Su Ji could use his invincible divine power to attack the alien races in the northern frontier right now, but this move would not only fail to resolve the crisis, but might also provoke the alien race's divine lords or even powerful beings to take action, resulting in more harm than good.

After all, by actively attacking a large number of people from other races, one would create karma with the gods and powerful beings of those races, thus giving them an excuse to take action.

Su Ji immediately devised a plan: "It will take time for the alien army to destroy the ancient formation. If I use my invincible divine power to hinder the emergence of the Undying Demon Lord, perhaps I can hold out until the imperial army arrives..."

Besides a portion of the imperial army stationed in the capital, there were also General Zhenbei Hou, the Marquis of Beihe, and General Zhenxi, the incarnation of the Golden Flame God General. If they could arrive in time, they might be able to disrupt the alien race's rescue of the Undying Demon Lord.

In fact, the message requesting reinforcements had already been sent out. Apart from the fact that the capital had not yet given a reply, the General of the Western Garrison had already led his army to attack, and the General of the Northern Garrison had long been chasing after the northern barbarians, preparing to cut off their retreat in one fell swoop.

If a major battle is unavoidable, then it should at least be delayed until the [Golden Cave Wonderland] is upgraded to a mid-level blessed land, otherwise Su Ji's losses will be too great.

That night, General Jin Yan led the Zhenxi army to Jushan, while the Northern Frontier alien army marched to the middle of Baiyan Mountain Range. After conquering two nearby cities, they began to enter the mountains to destroy the ancient formation.

"What a ferocious alien race!"

The two cities had a population of about 20,000 to 30,000, but less than half of them survived. Most of the people were slaughtered by the alien race and, under the leadership of the demonic cult, were sacrificed to the immortal demon lord suppressed beneath the White Rock Mountains.

Small-scale sacrifices would be destroyed by the imperial court as licentious shrines, but it would be extremely difficult to disrupt sacrifices by large foreign armies.

Moreover, even if Su Ji were to intervene with the power of an invincible divine lord, it is hard to guarantee that the alien army would not continue to slaughter the people in a frenzied manner.

"The celestial beings of Heaven are playing the long game, it seems they have long been accustomed to life and death in their long lives, and in the face of inevitable disasters, they try their best to preserve their strength and make better decisions..." Su Ji expressed his understanding of Heaven's approach.

The alien army relies on some powerful alien beings. Only by eliminating these powerful alien beings who want to cause trouble can we prevent such things from happening again as much as possible.

To Su Ji's surprise, the first to cause trouble for the alien army was not the Zhenxi Army, but the demon race led by the Tiger King in the Baiyan Mountains.

Those alien races entered the White Rock Mountains and chose to forcibly open a path in order to reach the formation nodes faster, which angered some demon races.

As the king of all beasts in the White Rock Mountains, Tiger King naturally wouldn't allow these invaders to run rampant. Since he couldn't confront the large number of alien races head-on, he would attack the scattered alien race squads.

The stench of blood quickly spread, and several alien squads suffered heavy losses, enraging the demonic cult leader in charge.

Soon, the leader of the demonic sect brought in a helper, a powerful alien god of divine weapon level.

Although this being with a physical body possesses the power of immortals and gods, it still belongs to the realm of humanity, making it a perfect match for dealing with the Tiger King.

Guided by the demonic cult, the God of Strength quickly found the Tiger King. Surprisingly, the Tiger King didn't flee; instead, he calmly waited there. Only then did the alien God of Strength realize something was wrong and led his men to escape.

Unbeknownst to them, an army had already surrounded the area. The man in golden armor and a red cloak was none other than the famous General Zhenxi, also known as the Golden Flame General, the God of Strength under the Western Emperor.

As expected, the moment the alien powerhouse stepped into the encirclement, his fate was sealed: death in battle.

This news quickly ignited the fury of the alien army. A demon god known as the Heavenly Eagle General led his army directly to the White Rock Mountains, seemingly to challenge the Western General, the Golden Flame God.

An army of this size, with its sheer aura of military might, can influence the mystical energy of heaven and earth, rendering many spells and supernatural powers ineffective. Only the power within the body of the God of Strength and the Dao Fruit of the Mysterious Immortal can unleash their full combat potential.

Not to mention, alien races also possess humanistic fortune. Although they do not take the form of dragons, they can still be called dragons. Some spells have little effect on these high-ranking alien races.

Su Ji's main focus was still on the Undying Demon Lord, so he only diverted some attention to this great battle.

The battle took place in the Baiyan Mountains, where the rugged terrain made it difficult to maneuver, making the battle particularly bloody.

The soldiers fought fiercely in the canyons and ravines, while General Jin Yan and General Tian Ying fought their way from the foot of the mountain to the top, even breaking through the mountain several times.

Both sides were powerful beings at the level of divine generals. Although they could not move mountains or fill seas with their every move, their destructive power was astonishing. Soon, a mountain was destroyed by the two of them.

However, among the soldiers fighting below, an ordinary-looking alien suddenly leaped up and transformed into a giant wolf seven or eight zhang tall, joining the battle on the mountaintop.

"The Wolf God, a veteran powerhouse of the demon race, actually didn't stay behind on the grasslands; instead, he came along, concealing his identity!"

General Sky Eagle is a rising star among the alien races in the last hundred years, while the Wolf God is a veteran power god among the alien races. In addition to their profound experience, their fighting skills are definitely more formidable.

As expected, with the wolf god joining the battle, the Golden Flame God General was quickly overwhelmed by the overwhelming force. However, instead of retreating towards the main army, he leaped towards another mountain peak.

"Golden Flame, do not flee!"

"You killed my men, and today you will pay with your life!"

The two powerful figures pounced from the left and right, but their expressions changed halfway there. A man in black armor had appeared on the opposite mountain peak. It was none other than the General of the North, Marquis of Beihe.

Marquis of Beihe was a powerful god under the command of Emperor Xuan, the Northern Emperor. He was originally unknown to the world, but gradually became famous during the war in the north.

This General Zhenbei cultivated both the Dongxuan and Lishen paths, reaching not only the level of a Divine General but also becoming a Celestial General who had mastered the Zhongxing Dao Fruit, making him even stronger than the Golden Flame Divine General.

Both General Tianying and Wolf God had suffered losses at the hands of Marquis Beihe. Seeing this person appear, they knew they might have encountered a trap.

"withdraw!"

"Let's go separately!"

The two powerful beings, one flying in the sky and the other burrowing underground, had no intention of pursuing them.

However, the Marquis of Beihe left the main army to provide support first, not just to repel the enemy, but also to draw his broadsword from his back and charge forward.

At the same time, three figures clad in black armor flew out from the mountains and forests, joining forces with the Golden Flame General to block the retreat of the Sky Eagle and the Wolf God.

"Three Divine Weapon-level Strength Gods and two Divine General-level Strength Gods, it really is a trap!"

With expressions of horror, Sky Eagle and Wolf God roared in alarm, sending out distress signals before charging outwards with their powerful bodies.

In less than ten breaths, the eagle's leg was severed by the Marquis of Beihe's sword, and it could only transform into a black eagle and desperately escape.

The Wolf God managed to shake off the Golden Flame General by using the terrain, but unexpectedly, a golden toad suddenly blocked his way.

This golden toad is about three zhang tall and looks like a statue, but it exudes the power of a divine weapon.

The Golden Toad is an avatar that Su Ji has cultivated for nearly ten years. By using the mysterious [Nature Metal] to devour metal, it has already entered the level of immortal and divine magic treasures. In addition, with the divine power [Golden Toad Transformation] deduced by the Heavenly Calculation, it is comparable to a divine weapon-level power god.

"boom!"

When the wolf god saw the golden toad blocking its way, it charged at it with its brute force without saying a word. However, the sensation of the collision greatly shocked it.

"A divine beast of the Metal element?"

Among the many powerful gods, the physical body of the [Metal-type] divine beast is the most unique. While most other powerful gods are made of flesh and blood, the [Metal-type] divine beast is covered in lumps of metal.

Even this god-level powerhouse felt a sharp pain from the collision.

"boom!"

However, compared to ordinary [metal] divine beasts, the Golden Toad clone was more agile under the control of the divine power and the Heavenly Mandate, and it flew up again and collided with the Wolf God.

This time, half of the golden toad's body was crushed by the impact, and the wolf god was also seriously injured, with his ribs broken.

"Wolf God, where do you think you're going!"

As the Golden Flame God rushed in, the Wolf God could only swallow his anger and flee towards the northwest.

At this moment, several figures flew over from outside the mountain. They were several powerful demon gods of divine weapon level who had come after receiving the distress signal from General Tianying.

The Wolf God was a hidden backup plan, but without any support, he was chased all the way to the alien race's main camp by the Golden Flame God General, and only then did he manage to escape.

In the end, General Sky Eagle lost a leg, Wolf God broke several ribs and lost a tail, and an unfortunate Bird Clan Warrior was severely injured by Marquis of the Northern River and almost died.

As for the eight thousand alien soldiers who stormed into the White Rock Mountains, only a little over a thousand managed to escape; the rest were either killed or captured.

The defeat of the northern barbarians in this battle did not deter their plans. After massacring tens of thousands of civilians, they held another sacrificial ceremony.

Meanwhile, in the northeast, the army of the Marquis of Beihe was rapidly marching towards them, and the imperial army in the east also seized the opportunity to encircle and block them. The troops of Yuzhou also set off from Qianbian Town.

Just then, a sudden downpour brought the marching soldiers to a halt.

Many people thought it was just bad luck, but Su Ji learned from Lord Lu Tuo that it was the Dragon Lords of the Four Seas who had quietly made their move.

The celestial gods and immortals of the Heavenly Court immediately dispatched forces to investigate, but the other party had a powerful figure secretly protecting them. Having lost the initiative, the dragon god who had stirred up trouble managed to escape.

After a night of rain, the bloodshed on the White Rock Mountains disappeared, and the surrounding roads became muddy and impassable.

Just as Su Ji continued to focus on the underground, the White Rock Mountain Range suddenly trembled, and with a flash of the ancient array, the underground space suddenly collapsed.

"Oh no! The Undying Demon Lord has been born!"

The alien army sacrificed tens of thousands of people, and yesterday another tens of thousands of soldiers fought in the White Rock Mountains. The blood was washed into the ground by the rain, and the power of the Undying Demon Lord has grown much stronger.

Sure enough, as two huge beams of light appeared in the darkness below, a massive head, as large as a mountain, appeared before Su Ji.

"An immortal demon lord whose physical body is comparable to that of a god of strength who has achieved sainthood!" Su Ji felt immense pressure just from witnessing this scene.

If it weren't for the ancient formation still in place, the entire Chrysanthemum Mountain above would probably have been overturned by the Undying Demon Lord. (End of Chapter)
