The Infinite Dragon God Cannot Find Silence

Looking at the landscape, where only the original outlines of the terrain were still discernible, and everything else had become somewhat unfamiliar, Izayoi sighed softly.

Unlike the last time I visited, when it was ravaged by war and left as nothing but scorched earth, this continent called Atlantis is now full of life. Although I didn't see any animals, at least I could see natural greenery everywhere.

Two years... The time in the Izayoi world should have slowly adjusted to the same flow rate as the Little Garden after the Heavenly Army intervened. If the flow of time inside this seemingly empty place is also the same, then this continent is indeed extraordinary.

Rather than considering the time factor, simply creating a bunch of life out of nothing is quite remarkable. There is still no consensus on the origin of life among modern humans. Izayoi, who has tried to simulate this process using stellar particles in the past two years, is even more aware of the difficulties involved.

In addition...

"Hmph, I didn't notice last time. Those guys really have ill intentions in choosing this battlefield."

Feeling the pulse of the earth, Izayoi hummed softly.

There is no doubt that stellar particles exist beneath this earth, and the boy, who has now scientifically grasped the power he originally thought was innate, can clearly feel its pulse.

At least this proves that the information from the Heavenly Army that this land might be helpful to humanity is not nonsense.

"Even if it's malicious, this malice is directed at the Demon King."

Just then, a familiar voice came from behind the boy.

Although it was quite sudden, Izayoi wasn't too surprised.

"Oh, you've come too, Great Sage Equal to Heaven?"

"Oh dear, there's no need to be so formal."

The little monkey nimbly jumped in front of Izayoi.

The boy hadn't noticed the other's presence at all before the other spoke... Although the Great Sage Equaling Heaven wasn't known for his stealthy and secretive tactics, but rather for his ferocious and direct fighting style, her monkey-like light and agile movements and superb martial arts skills naturally gave her exceptional abilities in this area... This was something that Izayoi couldn't have achieved in just two years.

However, in theory, Izayoi, who is no longer the same as before, has narrowed the gap between herself and the other party considerably.

Comparing their strengths in his mind, Izayoi came to the conclusion that his opponent was definitely different from the one he had seen before, and moreover...

"Hey, you wouldn't... "

"Haha, strictly speaking, this is our first meeting. I've finally come out of seclusion, so I'm going to come and get some fresh air myself."

Without a doubt, this is the true form of the Monkey King, and is vastly different from his previous clones—which, according to Izayoi's understanding of Journey to the West, were things that were only a tiny 'hair' in size.

However, this was not the most emotionally charged thing for Izayoi.

He didn't miss the phrase "emerging from seclusion," and according to the Chinese system and tradition...

"No, I meant you..."

"Yes, you've made some progress."

Izayoi smiled with genuine joy at the Monkey King's quick admission.

Although they hadn't known each other for long and the other person was just an avatar, even Izayoi had to admit that the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, who had once managed to get several of her younger siblings to accompany her through the Heavenly Court and who now commanded the Heavenly Army to act on her behalf, was indeed very charismatic.

However, if I remember correctly, this person's spiritual level was already at the peak of four digits.

Is it really true that he is a candidate for the original text, just like Izayoi?

And going a step further... I didn't expect that the Heavenly Army would send out such a high-level external aid so directly, besides Bai Ye, who was originally in charge of this kind of plenipotentiary.

And around Izayoi, who arrived here on time with the invitation sent by the Heavenly Army, more and more races of various kinds have appeared... presumably some of the participants.

"Ah, here it comes."

Just then, the Monkey King's eyes lit up as he looked behind Izayoi, who in turn turned to look as well.

The nameless group had already come into their sight.

"Seriously, you actually want it back, huh..."

"Oh dear, young lady, is it alright for you to say something that could lead to misunderstandings?"

Asuka Kudo, who had uttered words that sounded like a wife complaining about her husband, was stunned by Izayoi's retort and blushed slightly, but the people around her didn't care.

"Mr. Izayoi, you're finally back!"

Black Rabbit hopped up to him, and Kasukabe Yō and the other members of the nameless group nodded to Izayoi... Although this boy had spent almost the entire past two years away from the outside world, he was not entirely indifferent to the community's development plans and had provided a lot of advice and assistance.

Even disregarding these factors, Izayoi's achievement of retrieving the flag from the Heavenly Army for the community was enough to earn her the worship of the Nameless One.

This was a formal reunion for Wuming after two years. Everyone had changed to some extent... most of them were more mature.

"Cough cough..."

There was no time for idle chatter, as Bai Ye's large face had already appeared in the air.

"I believe everyone has heard the previous announcement, and all the contestants who could come have arrived. Since the exciting moments may be broadcast, I hope everyone will perform well. Now, let's announce the first rule."

As soon as the words were spoken, a new parchment appeared before everyone.

There is only one rule written above.

One month later, the player holding at least one Star Sovereignty will participate in the next phase of the game.

Chapter 783 The Purpose of War

The four-digit number 1314 of the small garden is the outer gate of the City of Ether.

"Is this alright?"

As a young girl, Bai Ye tapped her neck with a fan, looking troubled, as she walked through the dark corridor into the stargazing platform, which was illuminated by flashing lights.

In terms of intensity and scale, this Star Sovereignty War is naturally far less intense than the first one. After all, unlike the previous chaotic battle where everyone fought each other and the Heavenly Army could take advantage of the chaos to fight the Demon King, this war is constrained by complex rules. Moreover, unlike the previous situation where only those who break the rules had a chance to stand out, this competition also prohibits those who break the rules from participating.

It employs the agent system, which is particularly common in the Tianjun (a military organization).

The exceptional level... meaning that any entity with a number of three or more can only participate in the Solar Sovereignty War by entrusting an individual or group with a number of four or fewer.

Those in high positions assist in the struggle for star power within the rules, and those entrusted with the task exchange this for the rewards from those in high positions. Although it is not fair, it is still much more civilized than the previous situation where only the exceptional could participate, and the weak not only had no room to participate but would also be wiped out if they were accidentally swept away. It gives many people a chance to get a share of the spoils.

The rule restricts at least one star power, which is a ticket to be obtained from those in power. It is a skill for someone to obtain a star power that truly belongs to them.

As for Bai Ye, who holds more than half of the sovereignty over the sun, she naturally has to make a lot of action arrangements while hosting the game.

Orpheus didn't bother with such trivial matters; she was in charge of big things... like sitting here waiting for news.

Seeing that Orpheus didn't react, Bai Ye curled his lips as if he had expected it.

"Really, there's no reward for an outstanding cadre like me."

"Mmm...Bai Ye, that's great."

"...Never mind, forget I said anything."

Feeling that even this perfunctory response could be guessed, Bai Ye wondered how much longer he would be exploited. He then sat down in the seat prepared for him.

Then, her expression turned serious, and she looked at the observatory's reports along with the others present.

Undoubtedly, the Celestial Army is not responsible for the internal management of the Little Garden itself, so it would not be idle to carry out any major activities to revitalize the economy. In fact, this Star Sovereignty War is not the focus at all, and all the rules serve the ultimate goal.

It's not really impossible for Tianjun to provide a venue for exceptional individuals to compete, but ultimately, the reason for limiting the strength of the participants is not because they don't want certain people to participate, but because they want certain people to stand on the stage.

And this stage was arranged for humankind.

With the help of divine power, people fight against the doomsday elements behind them.

—A game that revolves around the key element of stellar particles, putting all elements on stage for strategic maneuvering.

No, it's less of a deduction and more of a final battle projecting everything onto the stage.

Just as Absolute Evil symbolizes a future where humanity's misuse of astral particles leads to the destruction of one-third of the world, and dystopia symbolizes a future where humanity's misuse of astral particles creates an erroneous ideal world... the current War for Star Sovereignty is a symbol of how humanity should move towards the right future after overcoming these two ultimate trials.

The result will determine the future of humanity... While it would be too absolute to say that we should believe in the 'possibility of humanity,' we must admit that this was absolutely the most important battle.

—This applies to both human history and the myths that are interdependent with it.

"However... I have a feeling that a lot of monsters and demons will emerge this time."

After Bai Ye sat down, Alpha shrugged and spoke softly.

"That's only natural."

Meanwhile, her sister Omega, with whom she hadn't yet determined who was older, eagerly chimed in.

"After all, this is the biggest cake."

Merit is a component of spirit rank, and it is also the element least dependent on talent. Whether you are an ordinary person, a mythical beast, or the strongest species, as long as you have a bit of ambition, you will not complain about having too many merits.

This war for the sovereignty of stars, which concerns the course of human history and mythology, is a treasure trove of achievements.

Merit is meritorious, but in reality, it is neither positive nor negative. Whether one plays a role in assisting or opposing the Heavenly Army in this process, Linger can benefit greatly.

Throwing a stone at someone who breaks the rules from afar can make you boast that you've sparred with them... that's roughly the feeling.

Moreover, as the role one plays increases, one's achievements naturally increase exponentially.

Given this, it's not surprising that many insiders would try to take advantage of the situation.

Although very few people actually know the truth, those who do are not simple characters.

Alpha suddenly thought of a target, which made the goddess of creation frown.

"I heard the World Dragon is back too?"

"Yeah, and they've already entered the competition as the client... What a troublesome guy."

As one of the organizers, Bai Ye, who had a list of participants in hand, curled her lip.

World Dragon Kurima...

Although the record wasn't great, it was still undoubtedly in the double digits.

Putting everything else aside, this person's movements alone could have a significant impact.

"There's nothing to worry about with the World Dragon."

However, Orpheus only glanced up at White Night.

"Let Bai Ye handle it."

"Too."

Upon hearing Orpheus's proposal, the two goddesses immediately agreed and reached a conclusion on the topic.

Back then, World Dragon and Bai Ye were good sisters who fought together against the tyranny of the Heavenly Department and helped to unite the Heavenly Army. Moreover, the other party had a strange obsession with Bai Ye, so it was perfect for Bai Ye to handle the situation. In the best-case scenario, she could even persuade the other party to surrender with just a few words.

"Hey, you three!"
