You became an emperor by letting me AFK.

The high priest was always there.

Moreover, Feng Tianyin was indeed not idle, always protecting the missionaries. She really stepped up when needed; her presence was too strong. She didn't care at all whether her actions would deplete her energy. She truly possessed unlimited energy and spiritual power to carry out her will.

Other evil gods did try to corrupt her in return, but to no avail.

"Ignore those guys, keep up our pace, and wait and see."

Feng Tianyin calmly concluded, but added, "Let's go to the subspace; the spatial rift in Xiayi needs maintenance."

She looked at her two colleagues.

The three of them were always the type to just pack up and go, so they set off immediately.

After all, the spatial rift sealed within the inner sanctum also belongs to the temple area, which is very close to them and within reach.

"Everyone has arrived!"

Upon returning to the inner sanctum after her transfer, Dai Qingshuang was quite surprised to see the group. The surrounding priests also frowned. Perhaps this meant a disaster; otherwise, what in the world would warrant their collective effort? It was unimaginable.

"It's alright, I'm just here to check the spatial rift."

She casually remarked to her companions, "The enemy's actions can't be limited to that level; we'd better go in and monitor them ourselves."

Theoretically, it is said that the level of a person's promotion is unrelated to whether they are spiritual or physical.

They are all very strong.

However, the unity of body and soul brings stronger perception and output, which is perfect for monitoring pollution.

Before the three of them stood a massive doorway inscribed with countless runes, alongside a replica of the Lost Empire's reality anchor, ensuring the spatial passage remained intact.

The door is guarded by the most elite psionicists.

Priests are the main force among them, and each one is a carefully selected powerhouse. Their talents were discovered from a young age and nurtured with great expense. A massive amount of resources were invested in training them into powerful hero units, each possessing power comparable to that of high-ranking demons.

In addition, there are spiritual institutions, elite troops, and other forces. Not to mention defense, even waging a war in subspace would not be a problem.

"salute! "

Amidst shouts, everyone bowed in unison, ready for battle, their faces solemn.

Feng Tianyin waved to signal them to enter together.

There was a gurgling sound the moment they passed through the spatial rift, and then everyone found themselves in a space filled with colorful and chaotic light. The so-called "ground" here was just something that was forcibly anchored by psionic energy.

A fortress was built on a fixed platform, which is Xia Yi's first line of defense against subspace.

It is the most crucial core component.

"As I expected, there is a very subtle form of knowledge pollution in this area."

Feng Tianyin pointed a finger from afar, and under the golden light, the fortress was actually resonating with a trace of polluting and corrosive power. It was very weak but full of ferocity, and it could not be ignored.

"So that's how it is." Gegentana suddenly realized, "It was that wise evil god who was behind it."

"Yes, because the technology of the Great Qian Dynasty is developing rapidly, making it suitable for erosion."

Zhuang Qing also noticed something amiss.

Their status wasn't as exaggerated as the High Priest's, so they were deceived and didn't notice the trap. However, once Feng Tianyin arrived, they were exposed, and even a blue-skinned demon emerged from the shadows.

"All to your positions, organize your defenses, and be on high alert."

As soon as the order was given, all the garrison troops sprang into action, and a fierce battle unfolded right before the three of them.

They didn't get involved.

No need to spend much effort; the Empire's army alone was enough. The elite troops rushed towards the demons, dragging out these shadowy figures and relentlessly pursuing them.

"You dared to embarrass me in front of the High Priest? You're dead."

The one who was most angry was Dai Qingshuang.

I have a glorious reputation and numerous military achievements, so how could I have run into such trash? This is a despicable and shameless sneak attack, isn't it? Fortunately, Her Majesty Feng Tianyin discovered it, otherwise it would have been a major mistake, and the consequences would have been unimaginable.

If the commander-in-chief is fighting so bravely, one can only imagine how many elite troops are stationed here.

"Roar!"

The demons were not to be outdone, charging fearlessly even against the most fortified fortress of the Great Qian Empire, their momentum unstoppable.

If it were an army from a typical civilization, it would probably collapse instantly, and even the world behind it would be thrown into chaos.

However, the Daqian army easily blocked this attack.

In front of Feng Tianyin, Gegentana, and Zhuang Qing, they pushed the enemy back, engaging in a head-on clash and a fierce battle. The purifying light of the human camp shone brightly, illuminating a large area.

The two sides fought fiercely, and the flames of war spread to all directions, but they could not shake the person who was promoted.

"Does this mean that technological development is going to slow down?"

Gegentana asked thoughtfully, while Feng Tianyin shook her head and replied, "Just follow the steps. I've already planned it out."

In any case, the information age cannot be achieved overnight, and many technologies are still in their infancy.

It's still a long way off.

Ultimately, it requires a period of consolidation and development, and coincidentally, the Great Qian's penetration of the Terra world has reached a new threshold. I don't expect to conquer you; instead, I have to worry more about these guys' backward productivity. Sigh, responsibility and obligation go hand in hand.

They have gone to great lengths for the peace of the Terra world.

at the same time.

Dai Qingshuang and her group quickly dealt with the first wave of demons that attacked, and all those hiding around the fortress were cleared out.

But that's not all. In the subspace, there are never any single events; often, a single event can have far-reaching consequences.

The wailing and howling of demons rose and fell, and a tidal wave of demons swept in.

Not right.

Something's definitely not right, even nine out of ten.

The most cautious Zhuang Qing immediately warned her companions, "The demons are too active. This signifies the activities of an evil god. This is bad. Everyone be careful."

Before the words were finished, a vast expanse of azure psionic energy appeared in the distance of the subspace.

"You shall not overstep the authority of knowledge."

The evil god who wielded wisdom issued a stern warning, his will carrying a thick killing intent. Clearly, this had been a long-planned scheme, a search for an opportunity to drag all those who had been elevated into the subspace.

"I've been wanting to challenge you for a while now."

Gengantana gave a cold laugh and used her unwavering psychic energy to protect the priests from contamination.

She is indeed a little lacking in absolute strength, but she is the number one in team composition.

If it's going to be war, then let's fight.

While the battle between the evil god and the ascended continued, the battlefield between humans and demons was also bustling. At this moment, Dai Qingshuang led her elite squad in a fierce battle with the demons, with blood and flesh flying everywhere and psionic energy blazing. Amidst the dazzling dream, the most intense slaughter took place.

Neither side was willing to give in, and neither side was willing to slacken their efforts.

However, just as Gegentana was resisting the corrupting power of the evil god, a gigantic blue demon appeared, its body blotting out the sky.

"They are the highest-ranking demon lords; try to spread them out."

Zhuang Qing acted even faster than the warning, unleashing a spell that struck the enemy, causing him to stagger.

"Roar!"

Her response was an even fiercer roar.

The entire fortress was now like a small boat on a stormy sea, tossed and turned, swaying precariously, and could be easily capsized by the enemy at any moment. If something went wrong, the entire army would be wiped out.

The spatial rift in Xiayi is becoming increasingly unstable, leaving no way out. This was a well-planned attack.

Rumble!

The evil god is targeting this weakness with long-range bombardment, and if leaked, it could cause massive casualties. Although he is wary of the aura of the Heavenly Dao, he is determined to fight the empire today.

However, the overwhelming force encountered a wall of sighs.

Feng Tianyin made her move.

With a gentle push of her slender hand, the invisible force blocked the surging spiritual energy, rendering it ineffective.

In the blink of an eye, everything became calm and peaceful. The chaotic and polluted aura within the warp gradually subsided, and countless demons stared wide-eyed in shock, unable to believe that their opponent had resolved the situation so easily. But it wasn't over yet. The next moment, the high priest unleashed a dazzling radiance of the sun.

One person's efforts illuminate a vast world.

The psionicists of Terra seemed to sense something and looked on, while those far away in deep space also noticed the great commotion—the land under the rule of the heavens was fighting against the warp.

hum!

It was as if the power of a sacred and auspicious cloud had drifted by, dissolving the power of the evil god.

Feng Tianyin's counterattack was undeniably powerful, unleashing a torrent of golden energy that surged forth from the source of the attack, causing the target to cry out in agony.

Curses echoed from the blue figures deep within the warp.

"Damn high priest."

Although He had some backup plans, they were not as effective as a direct assault, and He ultimately failed. In the end, He lost a large number of demons in this conflict, and His influence on knowledge was also weakened. It was a losing proposition.

We must cut our losses now. Being dragged down by sunk costs is not our style. Let's retreat.

In the blink of an eye, the blue demons retreated.

Unlike the Blood God, they don't fight to the bitter end once they start a war. They know when to stop when they're ahead or to run away as soon as they face losses. They are always decisive in their actions.

slipped.

The demon army retreated like a receding tide, fleeing with lightning speed.

"High Priest, we have won!"

The garrison was prepared to fight to the death and sacrifice themselves to plug the gap. Unexpectedly, Feng Tianyin took to the field for the first time in a long time, and her terrifying power forced even an evil god to retreat.

However, she didn't show much joy, but instead glanced at some other weaknesses in the Terra world.

"There's a mole."

This was something that Feng Tianyin could not hide from her, and she could guess it too.

"The subspace will use the civilization of some material universe to interfere with us."

Gedentana clicked her tongue: "I knew that guy was up to no good. Since the Empire is rapidly expanding its technology, it's inevitable. I'll have the inner palace keep a close eye on it."
