Revitalization of Spirituality: My Front Door Leads to a Miniature Universe

The sky was a deep, dark expanse, stretching as far as the eye could see.

The armor worn by the Japanese soldiers gleamed with a cold, sharp light, indicating that they were a force capable of sweeping across the world, inspiring fear in all who beheld them.

Some remnants hiding in the shadows were overjoyed. With so many people, even a bite could tear a piece of flesh from the false god.

"Do you all wish to be my enemies?"

Gu Yuan's eyes gradually turned cold, and his voice boomed like a war drum from the heavens, as a huge hand swept across the sky, blotting out the sun.

The million soldiers below were dumbfounded, staring blankly as if they had eaten a dead rat, trembling uncontrollably.

"Weren't we supposed to be attacking the Ming Dynasty? How come our opponent has become a giant?"

"I should have known better than to come. How am I supposed to fight like this? His hands are thicker than mountains. Is he some kind of god descending from heaven?"

"The vanguard becomes the rearguard, retreat!"

"What else can I transform into? I don't want to become a victim of your magic. I'm leaving first."

The massive steel torrent scattered like birds and beasts before it even officially clashed with Gu Yuan, showing no sign of fighting spirit.

The onlookers were stunned, and many shouted "Long live the god!" They became Gu Yuan's most loyal believers.

After all, in this world, strength reigns supreme, and to be able to serve under the gods is the long-cherished wish of countless people.

The remnants of the Yin Corpse Sect in the shadows cursed, "The blood energy is there! Even if it were a million pigs, it would take them three days to catch them all. And they just gave up like that?"

After saying that, he glared at Gu Yuan and fled, fearing that he would be punished.

Gu Yuan did not massacre the fleeing army, but only killed a few of the leaders.

In his eyes, everyone else was no different from ants and could not cause any trouble.

Furthermore, he now uses the Liao Kingdom's dragon energy for his own purposes, causing endless bloodshed and harming the nation's fortune. He doesn't want to do this unless absolutely necessary.

"Study the rites and laws of the sages that I left behind carefully. If you still harbor rebellious thoughts, don't blame me for being impolite."

"After this, the Liao Kingdom will cease to exist here. Someone will come to take over your territory. You must obey orders!"

Gu Yuan's voice boomed, and no one in the imperial city dared to disobey. Even the remaining troops around the city knelt down in utmost devotion.

After crushing a few more unruly people, he summoned a void portal and went inside; he was going to return to Earth.

As for the person who took over, he was naturally from the Ming Dynasty.

Now that Gu Yuan holds the treasures of both countries, he naturally won't distinguish between them. The two countries being united as one will make management easier, and they might even be able to gather an even more vast dragon energy.

Then, a flash of light appeared, and its enormous body vanished without a trace.

The people of Liao did not change because of his disappearance; on the contrary, they became even more devout and truly submitted.

Meanwhile, in the Ming Dynasty Imperial City.

The ground was littered with severed limbs, blood flowed freely, and cries of agony echoed everywhere. The earth was a scene of devastation, filled with the chaos of blood and bone.

"Your Majesty...we have defended the imperial city."

A Ming general, covered in blood, jogged over and knelt before a figure, a bitter smile mixed with tears of blood on his face.

He was a powerful expert at the Martial Pool Realm, but now he was covered in wounds, which showed what a terrible battle he had gone through.

"Thank you for your hard work."

The man in front of him put down the map in his hand, looked over, and slowly stretched out his arm.

He tried to pat the former's shoulder, but the slump fell limply. His face was haggard, and his lips were pale. It was none other than Zhu Chen, the ruler of the Ming Dynasty.

The capital city went through a life-or-death battle to defend itself. In order to withstand more than a dozen strong attacks from the Liao Kingdom, the ruler of the country did not know how many days and nights he had not slept.

"I wonder how Sect Master Xiao Xuan and the others are doing, whether they have escaped the pursuit of the Yin Corpse Sect."

Zhu Chen coughed violently a few times, and almost fell because he couldn't support himself. Fortunately, someone caught him.

"Sect Master Xiao possesses profound strength and will surely be able to escape successfully, bringing with him a supreme treasure to resolve the situation."

The general offered words of comfort, though his expression remained somber.

Everyone knows this is a lie. For a century, no one in the Ming Dynasty has been able to successfully merge with the Chaos Star Tree; otherwise, it wouldn't have fallen into such a state of decline.

But no one objected; facing a formidable enemy, this was the only hope in everyone's hearts, the place to which their faith belonged.

"Check how much grain is left in the city. We're afraid we won't last much longer. If any people want to leave, let them go now."

Zhu Chen looked at the Liao army that had retreated to a distance, and felt a pang of melancholy. The destruction of his country and the extinction of his race seemed imminent.

The general accepted the order and left.

Just then, a scout came to report, "Your Majesty... Sect Master Xiao Xuan has returned."

The man was very excited, and his voice was trembling.

"Okay, let him stay... What did you say? Who came back?"

Zhu Chen's eyes lit up instantly, as if he had heard something impossible.

"It's Sect Leader Xiao!"

This time, the scout spoke out, word by word.

The former and the general beside him exchanged a glance, both showing excitement.

Just as they were about to go looking for the person, Xiao Xuan led everyone to find them.

The two gazed at each other, offering no passionate or grand words, only the most sincere greeting: "It's good to be back."

As they talked in detail, they approached the Wude Hall, because the news Xiao Xuan brought back was too shocking.

"The Chaos Star Tree was sacrificed to an ancient god, and he alone destroyed the capital of the Liao Kingdom?"

Upon hearing this, apart from a few people who were by Xiao Xuan's side and witnessed it firsthand, the rest of them were stunned and stood there as if petrified.

Zhu Chen opened his mouth wide, looking suspicious. After a long while, he showed concern: "Quickly summon the imperial physician. Sect Leader Xiao may have injured his divine sense."

He didn't believe it at all; it was simply a fantasy.

"It is indeed His Majesty! An ancient deity descended from the heavens and destroyed the Liao Dynasty with a mere wave of his hand. This is Heaven's blessing upon us!"

Seeing that no one believed him, Xiao Xuan recounted everything that had happened along the way, almost to the point of showing them his own eyes so that they could see for themselves.

"I know you're trying to comfort us, that it's nothing... it's just a matter of national subjugation and annihilation, but before that, I'm going to take a piece of their flesh."

Zhu Chen's eyes flashed with two golden rays, filled with determination, as did the others.

Xiao Xuan was utterly speechless. "If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, just go to the capital of Liao and you'll see for yourself."

Just then, another scout came to report.

"Your Majesty, the Liao army has withdrawn and left the border!"

The news struck like a thunderbolt through the crowd, startling everyone so much that they dared not even breathe.

Zhu Chen plopped down on the ground, taking a long time to recover. His expression shifted from disbelief to astonishment, then to delight, and finally to suspicion: "Could it be... that what Sect Master Xiao said was the truth, that a god descended and destroyed the Liao Kingdom?"

"I want to go and see for myself!"

He immediately stood up again, striding confidently with a powerful gait, no longer looking dejected, as if he had been given a shot of adrenaline.

The entire Ming Dynasty rejoiced, and a host of ministers and even the emperor himself went out of the city to follow the Liao army.

They were relieved only after seeing them completely disappear into the Liao Kingdom.

Zhu Chen and his group did not stop there. Instead, they disguised themselves and sneaked in, wanting to see the majestic appearance of the ancient gods with their own eyes.

They arrived at the capital of the Liao Kingdom, but Gu Yuan had already left, so they naturally did not see him.

"Sect Leader Xiao, where are the ancient gods?"

Someone raised a question, cautiously looking around.

Suddenly, a large group of people, all from the Liao Kingdom, sprang out from the shadows and surrounded them.

"You were spotted the moment you entered the Liao Kingdom; it was all so easy!"

Leading the group was Du Zhi, the commander of the Imperial Guards, with a faint smile on his lips.

"Xiao Xuan, you actually conspired with the enemy country to lure us here!"

Zhu Chen drew his sword and pressed it against Xiao Xuan's throat, tears of blood welling in his eyes.

He never expected that the person he trusted most would choose to betray him and lure him into an ambush.

At this moment, Xiao Xuan was completely speechless, still reeling from the shock, his pupils wide open: "Could it be... that everything I saw was just my delusion, and that no ancient deity ever appeared?"

He began to doubt himself, and in a fit of rage, he coughed up a mouthful of blood and fell off his horse.
