Reborn as a lotus, she initially refuses to hand it over to the state.

"Did you ask them about this during your review?"

Kasyapa opened all twelve of his eyes simultaneously: "The weak need not answer."

"very good."

Chu Zhou slowly raised the third lotus leaf.

The Monument of Ten Thousand Spirits' War Achievements appeared above the sacrificial road, and all the records of conscription, sacrifice, and bloodline cleansing carried out by Kasyapa over the past 100,000 years began to be transmitted in reverse to the 361 worlds along the Golden Law of the Returning Court.

For the first time, the true list of offerings for the Fifth Hunting Court appeared in the skies above each city.

People could see when they would be conscripted, how much of the world's essence their race had left, and how many people would have their souls directly extracted after the next great civilization sacrifice began.

Kassapa attempted to sever the connection.

But it just now voluntarily integrated the twelve power seals into its Dharma body, and now each of the Golden Laws of Returning to the Court has become a channel for the Ten Thousand Spirits War Merit Monument to transmit the truth.

"You like censorship."

Chu Zhou's ten lotus leaves reflected the 361 Guiting Worlds: "I will let all those you have examined see what you have done."

In the first world, someone looked up at the golden list.

Then came the second and the third.

Countless wills of refusal traveled back along the Golden Law of the Returning Court to the sacrificial path. They could not immediately break free from the control of the Hunting Court, but they caused the world projection in the twelve palms of the Kassapa to vibrate continuously.

Upon examining the surface of the Dharma body, the first crack was observed.

Kassapa finally began to retreat.

"Close the entrance to the courtroom!"

The remaining 89 Hunter Court warships immediately retreated, attempting to sever the connection between the checkpoint and the Fifth Hunter Court core.

Gu Tianheng led his troops to press up from the left flank.

Qin Zhenyuan led three thousand gatekeepers into the Mountain and River Blade Realm, cutting off the fleet from the right.

Two armies from different eras completed their encirclement at the same moment.

Kasyapa's twelve hands continued to fall.

Each strike carried the weight of the bloodline of several worlds. Gu Tianheng's crimson-gold military formation shattered three layers in succession, and Qin Zhenyuan's black blade also gained another crack in the head-on collision.

Chu Zhoujie Lian's true form did not retreat.

The Myriad Spirits Azure Lotus Realm unfolds completely along the shattered golden gate, with ten world nodes projected, one by one suppressing the Guiting World in the palm of Kassapa.

Those worlds did not continue to be the power of Kassatar.

Instead, following the resonance of all spirits, it sends back an increasingly clear rejection.

"I will not accept conscription."

"Sacrifice is not accepted."

"We do not accept the continued rule of the Guiting Golden Law over future generations."

The voices of millions are not in unison.

Some are angry, some are afraid, and some are still willing to obey the Hunting Court.

However, if even one of them truly refuses, Gaksha can no longer treat the entire civilization as a single sacrifice.

The twelve golden hands shattered one after another.

Kassapa's aura rapidly declined from the late stage of the eleventh rank.

It wanted to send the core of the law into the Fifth Hunting Court, but Chu Zhou had already raised the Holy Judgment Spear.

The blue and silver lotus pattern on the gun illuminated the entire checkpoint.

"Your golden rule is only a rule in the eyes of those who are willing to obey."

"When no one acknowledges it."

"It's just a layer of gold paint that's easy to burn off."

The Holy Judgment Spear pierced through Gaksha's chest.

The Myriad Realms Purifying Flame erupted simultaneously along the twelve authority marks. The golden body rapidly became transparent from the inside, and all the forcibly continued bloodline contracts were stripped away by the azure-silver flames.

The Gaksha's divine soul let out a sharp roar.

"The fifth priest is aware of your arrival!"

"Once the altar is activated, all 361 worlds will bear the brunt of the damage for our court!"

"You can't kill it!"

Chu Zhougen gripped the butt of the spear and pushed it forward again.

"Then let it wait."

The core of Kassapa's laws shattered completely.

The eighty-nine Hunter Court warships, having lost their connection to the Golden Law, were destroyed one by one by the First Guardian Army and the contemporary Gatekeepers before they could escape the checkpoint.

The auxiliary soldiers who were still forced to fight were marked in advance.

The Purifying Flame of Myriad Realms only burned the core of the Hunting Court and its weapon array, without burning those lives that had ceased to resist.

[Successfully defeated the late-stage 11th-tier Golden Law Enforcer, Gaksha.]

[Gained 800 million evolution points.]

[Acquire the Incomplete Law: The Golden Law of Return to the Court.]

[Three checkpoints along the civilized sacrificial route have been obtained.]

[One hundred and eight road nails have been obtained.]

[Successfully released the bloodline control over 1.08 million soldiers of the subordinate civilization.]

The coverage of the covenant between all beings has been expanded.

The three broken Golden Gates were not destroyed.

Shen Xinglan took over the inspection gate via remote projection, transforming the structure originally used to seal the offerings into a temporary supply array for the Myriad Spirits Ark.

Of the 231 auxiliary warships, 47 chose to continue the expeditionary force's advance.

The remaining warships, along with those unwilling to participate in the battle, remained at the checkpoint, awaiting the full opening of the Guiting World coordinates.

The captain of the black warship stood in front of the public channel.

"We are not joining the ancestral realm."

"We just want to return to the Mother Realm and clean up what the Hunter's Court left behind."

Gu Tianheng nodded: "We will share intelligence during the battle, and neither side will take over the other's troops. The contract will automatically terminate upon our return to the Mother Realm."

There is no allegiance ceremony.

There were no new bloodline imprints.

Both sides clearly wrote down their respective responsibilities in a temporary agreement that all soldiers could see.

Little Jinbao squatted on the three ruins of Kinmen, carefully examining the fragments that had been knocked down by the artillery fire.

It first handed the complete metal piece to the logistics department, then put the few scraps, each only the size of a fingernail, into a separate bag, and finally approached the registration staff.

"These are really useless now."

"Check it again."

The researcher in charge of registration examined it for a long time, confirming that the material had lost its ability to react according to the law, before stamping the list with the edge material mark.

When Little Jinbao left with the storage bag, his steps were even lighter than after killing the three judges.

The day after the battle at the checkpoint ended, the Myriad Spirits Ship set sail again.

The closer one gets to the core of the Fifth Hunting Court, the denser the chains of civilization appearing on both sides of the sacrificial path become. The three hundred and sixty-one Returning Court Worlds, like stars caught in a net, slowly revolve around the same golden altar.

On the twelfth day, the last gate for the sacrificial ceremony was opened.

There were no more narrow passages ahead of the Myriad Spirits Realm Ship.

A golden star field, even larger than the ancestral solar system, appeared before everyone's eyes.

Tens of thousands of Hunting Court warships were arranged in layers.

The fleet together forms a vertical pupil spanning the starry sea. Each warship is connected by chains of civilization, while the 361 Guiting Worlds are suspended around the perimeter of the vertical pupil.

At the very center of the civilization altar, a massive figure, missing its right arm, slowly rose to its feet.

Five golden vertical pupils opened one after another.

The spot where the sixth eye was located still bore the blue-silver burn mark left by Chu Zhou.

[Target: Fifth High Priest Misala.]

[Realm Level: Mid-Twelfth Rank]

[Current Status: Right arm missing, sixth eye missing.]

[Master the Laws: Civilized Sacrifice, Golden Law of Return to the Court, Substitute Death for All Realms, Sacrifice to the True Body.]

[Three hundred and sixty-one Guiting Worlds were detected.]

[Nine hundred and thirty-seven billion lives returned to the court were detected.]

[Civilization Festival completion rate: 79%. 】

Misala did not question why the three judges had fallen.

They also did not inquire how the Myriad Spirits Ship traversed the Civilization Ritual Road.

It simply raised its remaining left hand and aimed it at the 361 worlds surrounding it.

All the chains of civilization are tightened simultaneously.

"Now."

"The offerings have already gone up to the altar on their own."

The golden star field has completely closed off.

The first round of civilization sacrifices was not directed at the expeditionary force, but rather directly extracted from the essence of 361 Guiting Worlds.

Above each city, golden vertical pupils opened simultaneously.

Mountains withered, oceans receded, and the spiritual energy within countless creatures flowed uncontrollably into the sky.

Misaro's mutilated right shoulder grew rapidly.

In less than three breaths, a golden arm formed from the essence of three hundred and sixty-one worlds reappeared on the true form of the Sacrificial Law.

Qin Zhenyuan drew his black sword, but did not immediately strike at Misaro.

Shen Xinglan had already projected the law damage model in front of everyone.

The substitutionary death for all realms has been initiated.

Any law-based attacks targeting Misaro will be borne first by the Guiting World.

[It is estimated that destroying the true form of the Priest will require the complete destruction of all seventy-two Returning Court worlds.]

Misala's five eyes looked down at the Ark of All Spirits.

"Pure Lotus of Dharma".

"Don't you prefer to let the sacrifices choose for themselves?"

"Now, I'm giving you a choice too."

"Kill seventy-two worlds, then come and kill me."

"Or watch as the Fifth Hunting Court arrives at the Ancestral Realm and turns all ten nodes into new civilization altars."

Chu Zhou did not attack.

The ten lotus leaves unfolded one by one, reflecting all three hundred and sixty-one worlds into the Myriad Spirits Green Lotus Realm.

A hint of sarcasm crept into Misaro's voice.

"You can't save 900 billion lives."

"Even if the chains are broken, these worlds will quickly wither away due to the loss of Hunter's Court energy."
