Chapter 234 The Four Great God Systems, Eight Incarnations of Corpse Dissolution

The stars on the other side, on a certain land to the west.

The mountains are as vast as the sea, and the setting sun is like blood.

This place is nestled among a continuous range of mountains, the ridges of which are made of jade. When the sunlight shines on them, the jade reflects a variety of colors.

According to ancient legends, clouds originate from mica, and colorful mists often rise from the summit of Qunyu Mountain.

The mountaintop was shrouded in mist, with jagged rocks and a gathering of winged beings with sun and moon symbols between their brows and wings on their backs. They knelt beneath the mist, waiting silently.

After a long while, the mist gathered into a huge female face.

With regular features and a dignified appearance, it possessed an astonishing aura even when merely manifesting as mist.

"Hmm?" A deep roar came from the face. "Where are my peach tree, the Jade Pool, and the Queen Mother of the West's kingdom?"

The owner of the face was none other than the Queen Mother of the West from back then.

At this moment, the Queen Mother of the West was filled with astonishment.

According to her plan, she would distribute her vital energy to all parts of the universe to alleviate the oppression she faced in the Dharma-ending Age.

Therefore, when spiritual energy arrives, it does not need to spend time to recover and can return within at least two hundred years, far ahead of other innate divine beings.

Based on this principle, the Queen Mother of the West did not place her kingdom near the stars on the other side, but rather on Earth, millions of light-years away.

Unfortunately, all of this benefited Liang Yue.

Now Liang Yue has gathered the authority and bloodline of the Five Elements Primordial Deities, the Sun and Moon Feathered People, the Jade Pool, and the Primordial Peach Tree.

Now, the vital energy on the other side of Earth can no longer be sensed; only the lonely earth beneath the stars on the other shore remains.

The Queen Mother of the West closed her eyes, sensing the secrets of the universe. The universe was bestowing memories upon her, and through a hazy perception, she knew that it was a mysterious mortal, a mortal who cultivated in the Dharma-ending Age, who had stolen everything from the Queen Mother of the West's kingdom.

"So they are just mortals! Generals, heed my command: slaughter all mortals!"

The Queen Mother of the West's current cultivation level is not very high. According to the rough calculation of the Five Immortals of Heaven and Earth, she is probably at the level of an Earth Immortal, after all, she paid a great price for her early revival.

They had originally hoped that Yaochi and the Peach Tree would recover their vitality, but now that these things have been taken away, they can no longer fully recover.

Even so, the Queen Mother of the West did not take the human race seriously.

Upon receiving this order, the Sun and Moon Celestials and the Three-Eyed Feathered Man looked at each other in bewilderment.

"What is it? Are we now unable to even defeat the human race?" The Queen Mother of the West's voice contained a hint of anger.

What a joke it would be if innate deities couldn't defeat acquired beings.

This is a farce unlike anything seen in history.

One of the celestial beings said with a wry smile, "Queen Mother, the human race is indeed dominant now."

The sun, moon, heaven, and man gave a general overview of the world's structure.

"Human experts are slightly fewer in number than us, but they are more numerous and have cultivation techniques to compensate for the difference in bloodline."

"Humans are also a powerful nation. We can spare no expense to annihilate them, but what about the other pantheons?"

There are many innate races, but there are also differences in their innate quality.

In summary, there are four powerful pantheons:

The eight main gods of Buzhou Mountain, headed by Emperor Jun, the gods of Kunlun, headed by the Queen Mother of the West, and the gods of Penglai, headed by Emperor Jiang.

And the most mysterious, with the fewest members, numbering only nine, is the Taishan pantheon, led by Donghuang Taiyi.

The remaining five local deities, Nuo gods, shamans, and Buddhist sects are not worth mentioning.

The main characters of heaven and earth are basically innate beings from the four major divine systems. There is an overlap of abilities among these beings, and they all want to devour each other's power.

Apart from the Taiyi pantheon, which seems to have disappeared into the annals of history, the other three pantheons have fought countless times.

In terms of hatred, the human race ranks after other pantheons.

The Queen Mother of the West pondered for a moment and said, "The future will surely be an era of great prosperity for the human race, so perhaps..."

The Queen Mother of the West paused, keeping everyone in suspense. "Why not break it down into smaller groups and let them join the human race, using the human race's reproductive capacity to quickly strengthen our race?"

The revival of spiritual energy is not a sudden appearance of deities who then wage war that plunges the world into darkness, obscuring the sun and moon.

The vitality of the previous era has not yet been restored. At the beginning of the spiritual energy revival, the first priority must be to restore the vitality.

The human body is no different from their Dao body.

Therefore, it is actually easier to integrate.

Everyone looked at each other in surprise, not expecting the Queen Mother of the West to pull such a stunt.

"From this day forward, since humans like to create sects, let's create a sect too."

After a moment's thought, the Queen Mother of the West said, "Let it be called the Jade Pool Holy Land."

Using Mount Qunyu as its training ground and the Kunlun lineage as its foundation, it absorbed the human race and rapidly grew stronger.

After doing all this, the Queen Mother of the West vanished and disappeared into nothingness.

After that, other tribes followed suit, and one after another, similar innate deities joined the human race and merged with them.

Of course, they did not achieve a win-win situation with humans; instead, they changed their cannibalistic strategy and enslaved humans in a different way.

Purely human beings cannot be included in their ruling core.

They packaged the bloodline of the innate gods into various sacred bodies, greatly alleviating the conflict between humans and the innate gods.

But at its deepest level, it is still about supporting certain ethereal gods and demons; this is the greatest secret of this era.

As the struggle intensified, the Li Huo Dynasty expanded rapidly. Due to the increase in tribes and the fierce internal conflicts, the makeshift structure established at the beginning of the dynasty could no longer support the massive dynasty.

They eventually parted ways amicably and went their separate ways.

The Taishan clan, led by the Taishan clan, established the Taishan Kingdom; the Feng clan, led by the Feng clan, established the Lingxiao Kingdom… and other primordial tribes such as the Yaochi Kingdom, the Kuafu Kingdom, and the Xiangliu Kingdom.

This land fell into an era of warlordism, but fortunately, the unclaimed land was large enough that those who had divided the land back then did not fight to the death, but instead moved to more prosperous areas.

The former capital of the Li Huo Dynasty.

The splendor fades, and the fireworks cool quickly.

High atop the mountain, Lü Dongbin stood with his hands behind his back, his disciple with fiery red hair standing behind him.

"Master!"

Lü Dongbin turned his head and looked at his disciple with a puzzled expression.

"What's wrong, Shi Yin? Why haven't you left yet?"

Although the place Liang Yue placed for them was safe, it was also relatively remote. Now, in this era of spiritual energy revival, this place has no value in occupying it.

"This is the ancestral land that the Undying Emperor placed in our territory. I will guard this place with my ancestors." Shi Yin thought for a moment and said:

“Master, let’s become emperor. Ancestor Yuan travels the world, and Ancestor Zhang goes out to fight. Only you can bring peace to people’s hearts.”

"Me? Become emperor?" Lü Dongbin was incredulous. After thinking about it, he felt that there was some truth to it. "Very well, I, Lü Chunyang, will take on this important task."

Without the patriarch's guidance, the human race will be unstable.

Surrounded by wolves on the outside and traitors within who cling to demons on the inside, the nation's situation is in grave danger.

Why not set up camp here, wait for more and more fellow Daoists to recover, and protect the Innate Star while waiting for that day to come?

The following day, Lü Chunyang announced his ascension to the throne, establishing the Chunyang Dynasty and founding the Chunyang Sword Sect. He was both the sect leader and a god-king.

Time flies, and the days pass like an arrow.

Soon, inside the primordial star, in an unspeakable place.

Liang Yue's eighth incarnation is about to be successfully refined.
