Chapter 451 You are not worthy to be called gods!
The sky has cracked open.
An indescribable feeling of sadness.

It surged forth from the deepest part of my heart without warning.

It instantly overwhelmed all consciousness.

That wasn't pressure from the outside world.

It is a resonance that originates from the instinct of life.

A profound grief, as if a loved one had passed away and a home had collapsed.

Countless warriors stood frozen in place, their weapons hanging limply at their sides.

Hot tears mixed with the blood on his face silently slid down.

They didn't even understand why they were crying; they just felt a tightness and emptiness in their chests.

It felt as if something extremely important had been lost.

Even those ghouls who only knew killing and destruction showed a brief moment of confusion and bewilderment in their scarlet eyes, uttering meaningless, low growls with a hint of whimpering.

Chu Kuanglan's giant sword, which he had swung halfway through, abruptly stopped in mid-air.

His rugged face was stained with blood, but at this moment it was filled with astonishment and a kind of tremor that even he himself could not understand.

Wei Banmeng's hands, gripping the twin blades, trembled slightly. Her cold eyes gazed at the sky, reflecting not the carnage of the battlefield, but a deep sorrow.

Lin Kang, Su Wanqing
All the soldiers were like this.

It was as if the entire world had fallen into a state of profound grief at that moment.

"She cried every day."

Someone uttered those words in a hoarse, choked voice.

It was as if to prove this statement.

Above the sky, within that enormous, terrifying black rift that stretched from east to west.

The rain began to fall in a light drizzle.

The rain was icy cold, falling on the scorching armor and the crimson swamp of blood.

It fell on the face of every living being that looked up at the sky.

at this time.

From behind the army of ghosts, some kind of command seemed to be coming.

All the bewildered spirits seemed to be awakened; they no longer looked at the sky, nor did they pay any attention to the human enemies who were so close at hand.

They turned around in unison, like the receding tide, and fled frantically in the direction they came from, at an extremely fast speed, as if they had encountered something that terrified them.

Normally, when the enemy is in retreat, it is a good opportunity to pursue them.

But at this moment, on the human army's side...

No one ordered a pursuit.

Everyone remained immersed in that inexplicable sadness and emptiness, gazing at the fleeing ghosts, at the weeping sky, at the crack that seemed like a scar on the world, their hearts filled with only bewilderment and heaviness.

The relief of surviving the ordeal did not materialize.

Instead, there is a desolate feeling of sorrow that resonates with heaven and earth.

However, this deathly silence of sorrow did not last long.

"You are not worthy of being called gods!!!"

A furious roar suddenly erupted from behind the crack, from the higher heavens.

The voice contained boundless anger and contempt.

It instantly jolted everyone awake from their grief.

Immediately afterward, a dazzling, blinding divine light burst forth from behind the enormous crack in the sky!
Blue, gold, purple, white
Divine radiance of various colors flashed wildly.

It was as if countless terrifying beings were waging a world-destroying battle in the unknown land behind the rift!

The escaping fluctuations distorted the entire sky, even affecting the lower realm. The sea boiled violently, and the Great Wall trembled slightly!

next moment.

A red dot suddenly appeared from the chaotic divine light and cracks.

And it rapidly magnified in everyone's view.

It pierced through the clouds, accompanied by a mournful howl, and crashed down heavily onto the sea that had just experienced a bloody battle.

Wei Banmeng, who was still lost in grief, suddenly had her pupils contract to their maximum size.

She could see clearly that it was not a meteorite at all.

That's a palace?!
The ruins of a magnificent palace, adorned with carved beams and painted rafters, exuding an ancient aura!
"Retreat immediately!!! Everyone, retreat back into the Great Wall Force Field! Quickly!!!"

Wei Banmeng's cool voice instantly rose in pitch.

The news spread throughout the entire front lines.

This shout was like cold water poured into boiling oil, instantly waking everyone up.

The soldiers looked up at the shadow that was getting closer and bigger, and at the raging flames and trailing red light produced by the friction between the palace ruins and the air.

The threat of death instantly overwhelmed the grief in my heart.

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!"

"Back to the Great Wall! Hurry!"

Generals such as Chu Kuanglan and Lin Kang also reacted, shouting at the top of their lungs, and organized their soldiers to retreat frantically towards the majestic Great Wall behind them.

The scene instantly transformed from extreme stillness to extreme dynamism.

Chaos, yet driven by the instinct for survival.

But in the sky, it seemed to be just the beginning.

As the first palace ruins fell, countless red dots appeared behind the crack, like a devastating meteor shower!
Pavilions and towers, broken jade pillars, shattered plaques, and even the remains of an enormous statue of a deity.
Countless buildings and artifacts that carry myths and legends.

Burning and churning, with an aura of annihilation, it indiscriminately covered the sea and the Great Wall.

"My God, what is that?!"

"It's a house! A house fell from the sky!"

"How could this be?! How could these things fall from the sky?!"

The retreating soldiers ran desperately.

He couldn't help but keep turning back, his face filled with disbelief and horror.

What they were witnessing was completely beyond their comprehension.

Where did these ancient, magnificent palace complexes, so different from any modern architectural style they know, come from?

And why did it fall from the crack in the sky like trash?

this problem.

It haunts the mind of everyone who looks up at the sky, like a nightmare.

Chu Kuanglan swung his greatsword, cleaving a burning log that was hurtling towards the crowd, and roared into the communicator, "Stop looking! Run! If you get hit, you'll be mincemeat!"

The retreating troops surged frantically toward the open passage of the Great Wall.

Amidst this chaos, several incredibly powerful auras suddenly descended from the top of the Great Wall in the A7 war zone.

The light flashes.

Five figures appeared silently.

They were dressed in different clothes, some in federal general uniforms and others in ancient robes, but without exception, they all exuded a kind of aura that was as unsettling as a deep abyss and a vast ocean!

Level five!

And five of them came at once.

Their appearance acted like a stabilizing force, instantly calming the panicked retreating troops.

Wei Banmeng recognized two of them at a glance.

He was a fifth-rank general of the Federation whom I had met briefly at the Dragonspine Regional Conference.

She immediately led Xiao Jiu to meet them. "General!" Wei Banmeng exclaimed urgently, "What's up in the sky?"

The general in the lead, dressed in a crisp officer's uniform, with a resolute face and three stars on his epaulets, raised his hand to stop her from asking the question.

His gaze remained fixed on the terrifying meteor shower in the sky and the chaotic battlefield of divine light higher above. He said in a deep voice, "Focus on organizing the evacuation, maintaining order, and preventing the ghosts from returning. As for the situation up above... we'll handle that."

Xiao Jiu frowned, looking at the familiar veteran fifth-tier expert from the Federation, and asked urgently, "General Li! What exactly is going on?"

Upon hearing this, the general known as General Li slowly withdrew his gaze and glanced at Xiao Jiu and Wei Banmeng.

A complex light flashed in his eyes, which finally turned into a heavy sigh as he whispered, "The Heavenly Court has changed."

Three simple words.

Yet it contains a tremendous amount of information.

Before they could ask any further questions, another strange event occurred in the sky.

Amidst the dense rain of falling building debris, in the higher skies, divine light erupted once more, dyeing vast swathes of the sky with a chaotic array of colors.

Immediately afterwards, dozens of figures appeared out of thin air and hovered in the air.

The immense divine power pressed down as if it were a physical force, and even though they were extremely far apart, it still made the people on the Great Wall feel breathless.

The leader was a handsome young man dressed in imperial robes, his face filled with determination and rage.

Surrounding him were dozens of figures of various shapes and sizes, dressed in luxurious clothes, exuding an overwhelming aura.

They were clearly all divine beings, yet they had the young Heavenly Emperor surrounded in the center, swords drawn, the atmosphere extremely tense.

"Wow, so many gods?!"

Chu Kuanglan gasped. Even from this distance, he could feel that any one of those dozens of auras was far superior to his own!
Wei Banmeng and the others' hearts jumped into their throats instantly.

When gods fight amongst themselves, the outcome for humanity is unpredictable, bringing both fortune and misfortune.

The young Heavenly Emperor, showing no fear, surveyed the dozens of gods surrounding him. His voice, calm yet clear, carried a chilling disappointment and questioning tone:
"Gods are objects of human prayer and should protect human peace and stability. Look at yourselves now, do you still deserve to be called gods?"

Among the gods who besieged him.

A middle-aged deity, dressed in magnificent robes and with a sinister face, sneered upon hearing this, stepped forward, and replied without any politeness:
“Your Majesty. Oh no, since you no longer wish to be the ruler of the Heavenly Court, then there is no need for me to address you as Your Majesty.”

He continued sarcastically, "The Heavenly Court has existed for so many years, and its ruler should be the most powerful being in the Three Realms, ruling over all directions. Those who obey me prosper, and those who oppose me perish! You ask whether we are worthy of being called gods. Have you ever considered whether your indecisiveness and stagnation make you worthy of being the ruler of the Heavenly Court?!"

After saying that, he stopped looking at the young Heavenly Emperor.

Instead, he bowed respectfully towards the higher rift in the sky, which still shimmered with terrifying energy fluctuations, and proclaimed:

"That one is now the ruler of the Three Realms! He is the chosen one! He will govern the future!"

Upon hearing this, the young Heavenly Emperor was not angered at all.

Instead, she couldn't help but chuckle softly.

The laughter, which started low, gradually grew louder, filled with endless mockery and sorrow.

He laughed as he raised his hand, pointing at the speaking deity. His laughter abruptly stopped, and his tone turned icy cold.
"You call yourself a god? That's an insult to the word."

His gaze swept over all the gods around him.

The sound suddenly rose in pitch, like a thunderclap:
"Don't you all look more like a bunch of lapdogs wagging their tails and begging for bones from their owners?!"

The moment the word "dog" left my mouth!
The figure of the young Heavenly Emperor blurred and disappeared in an instant.

The next second, he appeared out of thin air before the arrogant deity, as if by magic.

The speed was so fast that it exceeded the reaction limits of most of the gods present.

The mockery on the god's face instantly turned into extreme horror, and he only had time to unleash his protective divine light.

"Bang!!!"

A deafening, yet terrifyingly loud, explosion resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

The young Heavenly Emperor didn't even use any fancy supernatural powers or spells; he simply delivered a punch.

Above the fist, there was a pure and supremely golden imperial aura, as well as an overwhelming and terrifying power that seemed capable of suppressing eternity.

The divine light protecting the deity shattered instantly, like paper!
Immediately afterwards, his divine body visibly collapsed, centered on the fist-shaped mark on his chest.

"Ugh—!"

He let out a short, shrill, and distorted scream.

His entire body transformed into an uncontrollable white streak of light, like a pebble thrown by a force of billions of tons, shooting backward at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.

It crashed violently into the dense cluster of fallen building wreckage behind it.

It crashed into countless pavilions and towers, eventually disappearing into the distance, its fate unknown.

One punch!
Just one punch!
A powerful god was instantly defeated.

There was deathly silence between heaven and earth.

Only the whooshing sound of falling, burning building debris and the faint rumble of energy emanating from the cracks higher up could be heard.

On the Great Wall, everyone who witnessed this scene, whether it was the five fifth-level generals, or the fourth-level experts such as Chu Kuanglan and Wei Banmeng, or ordinary soldiers, was horrified and dumbfounded!
That's a god!
It is far superior to the false gods like the Ghost King.

Its strength is definitely top-tier among fifth-tier units.

He was actually sent flying by that young Heavenly Emperor with a single punch?!

What kind of terrifying strength is this? !
Chu Kuanglan swallowed hard, his throat extremely dry: "Damn, that's too intense!!"

However, the expressions of the five federal generals grew increasingly grave.

General Li said in a deep voice, "They are fierce, but there are dozens of them, and that one of them probably hasn't truly shown his power yet."

As if to confirm his words.

above the sky.

The remaining gods, recovering from their shock, wore expressions of mixed surprise and anger.

"presumptuous!"

"Attack him together! Take him down! Hand him over to that person to deal with!"

Without further hesitation, the dozens of gods unleashed their earth-shattering divine power.

The lights of various magical treasures shone brightly, like dozens of suns of different colors burning simultaneously, about to launch a siege on the young Heavenly Emperor in the center!
War is imminent.

At this tense and suffocating moment of confrontation, on the Great Wall, beside Wei Banmeng, the air rippled slightly, and a bright red color quietly gathered.

Jiang Wei, dressed in a red dress, barefoot and dangling in the air.

They appeared there silently.

Her arrival caused no ripples, as if she had always been standing there.

Her gaze first swept over the naval forces below, who had mostly completed their evacuation, to assess the casualties. Then, she raised her ruby-like eyes and calmly looked up at the impending divine battle in the sky.

Her appearance immediately attracted the attention of everyone around her.

"Xiao Jiang!"

Wei Banmeng and Xiao Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, as if they had found their pillar of support.

Jiang Wei nodded slightly, her gaze still fixed on the sky, and her clear, cold voice rang out: "My sister's power is affecting this place; the battle won't last long. Be prepared."

Her tone was calm, yet it sent a chill down the spines of everyone who heard it.

elder sister?

Is that person going to take matters into their own hands again?

The hearts of everyone.

It's hanging in the balance again.

Above the sky, the young Heavenly Emperor faced alone the encirclement of dozens of powerful gods. His imperial robes fluttered without wind, and the golden light around him became even more dazzling. His face showed no fear.

Instead, he revealed a hint of arrogance and determination that looked down upon the world.

The gods opposite him had also accumulated their divine power to the extreme, and their killing intent filled the heavens and earth.

At this critical moment.
In the deepest part of that enormous crack in the higher heavens, all the sounds of divine light and explosions suddenly ceased.

A will whose vastness defies description, like an ancient colossus awakening, slowly...
Has come.
