This is so dishonest!

Chapter 362 The Final Battle at the Foot of Buzhou Mountain
"Where are the life-saving ship girls? Where are the life-saving ship girls? Come and heal me!"

"Evolve, Pangu! Slaughter these bastards!"

"Charge! The other shore is just ahead, and we will surely win!"

"Kill, kill, kill!!"

A fleet sails through a chaotic sea, battling everything in its path.

"Where did the Heavenly Emperor find this professional? This is too brutal!" Fuxi, who was knocked away by the Reincarnation Demon God, was completely dumbfounded.

It's just a game, why are you all working so hard?
Don't you want to have a chat with the giant ship about life?

Overwhelmed by work, Emperor Fuxi of Ziwei said he just wanted to relax without thinking too much, chat with a ship girl or a female character, experience an adventure in the Chaos Sea, and see the distant scenery.

"These guys are going crazy to get ashore, are they really this desperate?" [Grandpa Liu] Yang Mei was also knocked down.

His giant ship, the "Selection," was attacked the moment it entered the channel to the other side, and was soon destroyed and all its crew perished.

After being eliminated, [Grandpa Liu] and [Emperor Ziwei] chatted casually in the rest area.

"I feel that the difficulty of this closed beta test has increased significantly," Fuxi said.

"Yeah, I think so too."

While watching the battle, Yang Mei said, "Exploring the Chaos Sea was originally a quick process, but once this other shore passage leading to a new era opened, the whole plot became much more brutal."

"This is just like the Dao itself; it's impossible to be at ease forever, and one must constantly be in competition!"

As someone who had lived through the chaotic era, Yang Mei looked thoughtfully at the fleet struggling in the waterway.

"That doesn't seem quite right either."

Fuxi shook his head. "After all, there's also the Great Dao of lying down and doing nothing. As long as you choose to slack off and let yourself be hammered, you can still improve without having to work so hard."

"Is there such a Great Dao?" Yang Mei turned around, somewhat curious.

"Yes, I have!"

Fuxi said matter-of-factly, “We in Taiwei Yuan have studied this before. The Heavenly Emperor also put forward the guiding principle of this Great Way, which is ‘Nothing is difficult in the world if you are willing to make a move.’”

"The reference point for this avenue is the Black Tortoise of the North Sea."

"In theory, as long as you choose to lie low in every little thing in daily life and in any major event that affects the course of the world, you can receive feedback from the Great Way."

"Yes, the Heavenly Emperor said this feedback is called 'salted fish value'."

"Accumulating enough 'salted fish value' can also reverse one's innate nature and lead to the Taiyi realm."

"Can't become a Great Luo?" Yang Mei found this kind of Great Dao quite interesting.

Fuxi shook his head: "It's hard to say, after all, there are no successful cases."

"Although the North Sea Black Tortoise fits the definition of this Great Dao, it is not truly lying flat, so it does not count."

"I might take a look at it if I have the chance." Yang Mei found that Taiwei Yuan really had all sorts of strange and wonderful ideas.

"Hey, you guys came out so early?"

After a while, Xuanqing's "Dawn" was sunk after successfully entering the other shore route, losing the opportunity to start the new era of the story.

When Yang Mei and Fu Xi saw this, they pretended to sigh and said, "We are incompetent and fell before dawn."

Xuan Qing laughed heartily: "It's nothing, just a game."

He turned to watch the battle and saw many demons fighting fiercely for control of the other side.

They occasionally cooperate, but most of the time they sabotage each other and attack one another, fearing that their "good brother" will be the first to reach the shore.

Loving each other and such, it seems that these are things that only exist in Gensokyo.

[I just don't know if this is a genuine expression of emotion or just superb acting?] Xuan Qing witnessed the battles between many demon gods, including infighting between reincarnation, contracts, and energy.

Among them, the Energy Conservation Demon God is a bit more exaggerated; He repeatedly jumped between different factions and was not killed.

"Where did the Heavenly Emperor find such a professional?" Fuxi asked curiously.

"They seem to know a lot about fighting."

Xuanqing looked at Fuxi and saw that his expression was natural, without any unnecessary trace.

He didn't know which demon god the other party had seen in the Chaos Coffin last time.

So Xuanqing said, "It wasn't me who found them, but they who found me on their own initiative."

"As soon as they heard that I had prepared a project, they were eager to help."

"Oh?"

Yang Mei, who was standing nearby, took these words to heart and pondered, "They went to find the Heavenly Emperor on their own initiative?"

At this moment, Fuxi smiled and said, "So that's how it is. It seems that the Investiture of the Gods Ceremony was indeed a correct action, allowing the benevolence of the Heavenly Emperor to shine upon all the heavens, and now it has even attracted the voluntary participation of fellow Daoists of the Great Luo."

"It's gratifying, it's gratifying."

"It's time to celebrate!"

Xuan Qing glanced at Yang Mei seemingly casually, then smiled and said, "I hope that more like-minded people will join us in the future, so that Taiwei will surely achieve complete victory in the struggle against the Immortal Path!"

Yang Mei laughed along with her.

"The representative of Heaven shall be the one of virtue."

"The virtue of the Heavenly Emperor shines through the ages; Taiwei will surely achieve final victory!"

~~~~~~
Zifuzhou.

As Hongjun's sermon came to an end, one immortal after another made breakthroughs, and immortal light gathered and auspicious clouds floated throughout the entire Dao Alliance.

The Jade Disc of Creation in Hongjun's hand is also being gradually completed.

Below the high platform, Yang Mei, who had broken through the barrier, appeared, exuding an air of otherworldly elegance and leisure.

He said, "The representative of Heaven is the one with virtue."

"The virtue of the Dao Ancestor shines through the ages!"

"In the battle against Taiwei, our Dao Alliance will surely achieve final victory!"

The immortals and gods were in the midst of the joy of their breakthroughs when they heard these words, which ignited the emotions of the entire Dao Alliance.

"Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind—the four great elements of the domain—and the Taiwei Divine Kingdom, conquer them all!"

"With our united efforts, our Dao Alliance will surely achieve final victory!"

"In the Battle of Buzhou Mountain, we will surely rewrite history and lead the prehistoric world into another great era!"

"Victory belongs to the Dao Alliance, victory belongs to us!"

The enthusiastic gods and immortals clamored that the great battle should begin right now.

The Qilin clan spies quickly chimed in: "Everyone, don't get excited, don't get excited. We are a righteous army. We should defeat Taiwei honorably and decisively when the 100,000-year agreement arrives. We cannot be the first to break the rules."

"Otherwise, wouldn't it be a laughing stock of the immortals and saints that our Dao Alliance won an unfair victory ten thousand years from now?"

Just kidding, the Qilin clan lives at the foot of Buzhou Mountain.

If you start a war so early, what will happen to our Qilin clan?
Soon, an immortal retorted, "Our immortal path never boasts of justice; being upright and righteous is a description of the demonic path."

"The path to immortality is all about achieving complete enlightenment."

"Now that we have a clear understanding, it's time for Taiwei to take its final bow!"

"Besides, what rules are we talking about with a demon?"

The dragon clan's deity chuckled, adding insult to injury for the Qilin clan, saying, "History is always written by the victors!"

"As long as we can defeat Taiwei Yuan, the immortals and gods of eternity will only praise our merits."

Many immortals, upon hearing this, seemed to find common ground: "Fellow Daoist, your words are reasonable."

"The Taiwei Conferring of Gods has just ended. Let's take advantage of the fact that they haven't fully developed yet and attack them directly. Wouldn't that be great?"

Seeing the crowd's agitation and their clamor for war, the Qilin clan's undercover agents grew anxious.

They looked at Hongjun and said, "The Dao Ancestor decides everything in the Dao Alliance. Do you think we should start a war directly?"

All the immortals and gods looked at Hongjun.

Hongjun, with a kind expression, said with a faint smile, "I understand everyone's feelings, but the time is not yet ripe, and it is not advisable to make a big fuss."

After hearing this, the Qilin clan finally felt relieved.

"but."

Hongjun changed the subject, saying, "The time for a great war has not yet come, but that doesn't mean we don't need to prepare for it."

"I'm sure all of you fellow practitioners have gained a lot from this sermon."

"Fellow Daoists who have signed the Heavenly Dao Contract will take this opportunity to reach a higher level in no time."

"Therefore, I hope that fellow cultivators can actively prepare for battle, work hard in their cultivation, strive for breakthroughs, and enhance their strength in the time to come."

"Only in this way can we achieve a decisive victory in the final battle!"

Hongjun's words were plain and subtle, and the immortals all listened attentively.

"Follow the Daozu's order!"

"We will certainly devote ourselves to cultivation and live up to the Dao Ancestor's high expectations!"

The gods and immortals bowed in agreement, their eyes gleaming with unwavering resolve.

That initial hostility towards Taiwei Yuan has now transformed into an extreme thirst for self-cultivation.

As the Dao Ancestor finished speaking, the once bustling crowd that had gathered in Zifu Continent for the sermon did not immediately dissipate; instead, it presented an even more tense yet orderly atmosphere.

The immortals and gods ceased their lofty discussions and returned to their respective celestial abodes or immortal mountains in the Purple Mansion Continent to begin a new round of secluded cultivation.

Those immortals who had just gained some insights from Hongjun's sermon, or even directly broke through their bottlenecks, were even more eager to consolidate their realms and digest what they had learned.

For a time, within and outside Zifu Continent, immortal light swirled and Daoist charm permeated the air, with various strange phenomena appearing from time to time. These were the manifestations of immortals touching upon the rules of heaven and earth during their cultivation.

Those Taiyi Golden Immortals and Daluo Supremes who signed the Heavenly Dao Contract felt it particularly strongly.

The power of the contract and his own Great Dao mutually reinforced each other, making up for the shortcomings in his past cultivation. Many obscure and unclear mysteries in the past became as clear as the sun breaking through the clouds.

Their aura was increasing at a visible rate, their magical power was becoming more refined, their primordial spirit was becoming more condensed, and their understanding of the Great Dao was becoming more profound.

~~~~~
At the same time, Taiweiyuan launched its own new game.

Ten thousand divine kingdoms, countless gods joined this game combining divine kingdoms and giant ships.

The group cultivated while enjoying pleasant interactions with the ship spirits, and engaged in a brutal struggle under the strict coercion of the demon god mentor.

Pain and pleasure coexist; that's the essence of this game.

With the Spirit Realm so lively, Fuxi finally felt relieved.

Since everyone has fully immersed themselves in this large-scale virtual war, they have all been growing rapidly. Gods of all levels are becoming increasingly adept at governing their real-world divine kingdoms, and the Purple Palace no longer needs to interfere as much.

"Alas, I misunderstood the Heavenly Emperor!"

After Fuxi realized that he was also liberated, he remembered that the Heavenly Emperor was actually doing a good job.

It's just that it uses a multi-pronged approach, achieving a subtle and pervasive effect.

A new game has taken into account the cultivation progress of gods, the management challenges of Taiwei, and the entertainment projects of the gods.

"Truly worthy of being the Heavenly Emperor revered by all the gods!"

Fuxi was lavish in his praise of the Heavenly Emperor.

"Alright, the Heavenly Emperor isn't in the Heavenly Realm, so stop praising him. He can't hear you," said Zhen Yuanzi, the Venerable Zhenxing.

"Really not here?"

Fuxi investigated and found that not only was the Heavenly Emperor absent, but Rahu, Chenxing, Yinghuo, Taibai, and others were also missing.

"They've gone to prepare for the grand formation."

Zhen Yuanzi said, "The great battle will take place 40,000 years from now. Our Taiwei Yuan looks prosperous and has a bright future. Everyone has confidence in us, but we can't really be unprepared."

"Therefore, the Heavenly Emperor and the others plan to enhance the power of the Immortal Slaughtering Formation, and then give the Dao Alliance a grand feast!"

"To enhance the power of the Immortal Slaughtering Formation?"

Fuxi was astonished, "This formation is incredibly powerful, and it can even be upgraded?"

"Besides, how come I didn't know about this?"

Zhen Yuanzi chuckled and pointed at Fuxi: "Didn't you say you wanted to have a party? Playing games without thinking? Don't call me to meetings?"

"Did I say that?" Fuxi decisively shifted the blame.

I, Fu, love my job the most and I love meetings the most, okay!

"The Heavenly Emperor and the others went to upgrade the Immortal Slaughtering Formation, what are we supposed to do?" Fuxi also felt that they couldn't afford to slack off anymore and had to work hard.

"We need to take responsibility for re-practicing the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Formation."

Zhen Yuanzi said, "This is also a powerful formation to deal with the Dao Alliance."

"Now, fellow Daoists Sun, Taiyin, and Nuwa have all gone to select star gods."

"Let's wait a bit longer, I estimate..."

"Zhenxing, Suixing, get to work!" Before Zhen Yuanzi finished speaking, Di Jun's voice had already pierced through layers of space and reached Ziwei Yuan.

Fuxi looked and saw the Milky Way flowing and the divine banners fluttering.

The Moon and the Sun govern the stars, and a grand array is taking shape.

"The Zhou Tian Star Array combined with the Hunyuan Heluo Array?" Fuxi immediately recognized its profound mystery.

"Yup!"

Zhen Yuanzi stood up with delight: "With the Hetu and Luoshu diagrams and the stars in the sky, we can set up a world-class formation that corresponds to the stars above and the mountains and rivers below!"

"Take down the little Dao Alliance!"

~~~~~
Forty thousand years is neither a long nor a short time.

This amount of time was enough for Hongjun and the top immortals and gods of the Dao Alliance to travel around, persuading various deities to sign the Heavenly Dao Contract.

This timeframe is also sufficient for all the races of the prehistoric world to choose sides, engage in speculation and gamble, and strive to maximize their own interests.

As time passed, Hongjun proceeded steadily and calmly, laying out his plans.

The Jade Disc of Creation in his hand was being perfected little by little.

Similarly, the Creation Jade Disc in Xuan Qing's hands is also gradually approaching perfection.

The two never formally met again during the 100,000 years they agreed to meet, but their clashes were ever-present and constant.

Even on the eve of a major battle.

In the west, Mount Sumeru.

The Heavenly Emperor Taiwei met with the leader of the Demonic Sect.

In front of them was a dazzling jade disc.

"It seems like something's still missing." [Xuhuang Daojun] pointed to the last gap in the Creation Jade Disc.

"No problem."

Xuanqing smiled and said, "If I'm lacking something, then Hongjun's Heavenly Dao will also be incomplete."

The Void Emperor Daoist said, "Then there is only one battle left."

"if not?"

Xuanqing looked eastward.

"The moment the sun rises in the east will be the time of the decisive battle."

[The Void Emperor Daoist] smiled and said, "Was it demons descending upon the East, or immortals arriving in the West?"

Anyway, no matter who wins, I won't lose out.

"I can't say for sure!" Xuan Qing laughed heartily, then turned and left.

Boom~~
The gates of the Netherworld and the Heavenly Palace of King Zhou naturally opened.

The two magical treasures flew into the heavens along with Xuan Qing.

~~~~~
This night is very long.

This applies to Taiwei, and it also applies to the Dao Alliance.

The goddess Xihe of the East hesitated in the Gan Abyss.

The world is about to change.

And it seems that she was in control of the entire process.

As soon as she waves her long whip, the sun chariot will leave Ganyuan, announcing the arrival of a new day.

However, each new day is destined to be filled with endless killing.

So the goddess Xihe naively fantasized that if it wasn't dawn, the two sides would stop fighting.

Or if the dawn breaks later, will there be less killing?
That night, Taiwei and the Dao Alliance were both waiting for her.

All living beings in heaven and earth are waiting for her.

Everyone waited and waited, but dawn never came.

"Isn't it time?" In Zifu Continent, Yang Mei calculated with her fingers and realized that it should have been dawn long ago, but it was still the long night.

"Could it be that the goddess of Ganyuan overslept?"

Above the nine heavens, all the gods gathered.

Xuan Qing looked towards the East Sea, his eyes filled with a searching intent.

He said the war would begin at dawn.

I didn't expect to be stuck with a bug now.

Taiyi and Dijun, the two brothers, both wanted to laugh.

They are the sun gods.

The one in Ganyuan was also a sun god.

They control the movement of the heavens and the earth, but whether or not dawn breaks over the primordial land is determined by the goddess of Gan Yuan.

The goddess Xihe hesitated, but they didn't mind waiting.

Until one of the gods could no longer wait, he shouted, "Goddess Xihe, it's time to wake up!"

Immediately afterwards, a deity shouted: "Great God Xihe, wake up! It's time for dawn!"

"Hey, can you hear me?"

One living being after another cried out, one deity after another shouted.

The thoughts of the gods and all living beings descended upon Gan Yuan, and the entire world urged the goddess to hurry up.

"Ah~~"

A sigh.

Xihe reluctantly stepped onto the sun god's chariot.

A high-pitched dragon roar resounded, and six golden dragons, riding the sun chariot, slowly departed from Ganyuan.

Its daybreak.

"open!"

In Zifu Continent, Hongjun suddenly opened his eyes. He flicked his finger, and the void opened up.

The Dao Alliance's immortals and gods all came out.

"go!"

The heavens were wide open, and countless starlight poured down.

boom! !

Celestial light collides with starlight, and magic and supernatural powers clash.

The moment Taiwei made contact with the Dao Alliance, a storm of blood and gore erupted.

"Close the mountain, let's watch the show!"

The moment the two sides made contact, two commands were transmitted from the ancestral land of Qilin.

The thirty-six divine lords of the Qilin clan gathered at the Sacred Cliff, while the Qilin of all sizes hid in their ancestral land, secretly observing the external situation.

The Qilin clan wanted to stay out of it, but the battlefield was right at the foot of Buzhou Mountain.

Where can we hide?
The Immortal Emperor, the Divine Treasure Demon God, said, "If the situation becomes urgent, then activate the Ancestral Land Wandering Plan!"

"As long as the chosen ones of destiny in all the heavens and myriad realms continue, our Qilin clan will still have a chance to start over!"

"Yes!"
