Each of the nine dragon maidens possesses extraordinary abilities.

"My bones are offered to the throne, my blood flows into rivers of corpses. My skull is used as wine for the ascension steps, my soul as a song to the heavens!"

They roared in unison.

Of course, these people were not resurrected from the dead, but rather the products of the Heavenly Venerable of Killing and Attaining the Dao's Experiment in the Nether Sea. They were corrupted in Qingzhou and merged with Guixu, and then sent to the mortal world.

The four gods are all trying to create their own small worlds in the Nether Sea. Since they are small worlds, living beings must exist in the small worlds in the future. These are the living beings that the Celestial Venerable created in his experiment.

Blood Sea Holy Spirit.

As the progress of the Return to the Void accelerates, and the Heavenly Venerable of Killing and Proving the Dao seizes more of the energy from the Qingzhou earth veins, He will be able to deliver more products from His own world.

If Qingzhou were to completely fall into corruption and be annexed by Him, then Qingzhou would become an integral part of His world. It would not only be a matter of Him usurping the world's origin, but He could also rely on Qingzhou to send beings from His world to other states.

This would be faster than relying on believers to spread influence. The four gods have different powers. The Celestial Venerable of Killing to Attain the Dao was originally an ancient demon lord who attained the Dao through killing. Back then, he walked the ancient path of Asura. After he became a god, this path further endowed him with the power of heavenly tribulations, and killing and fighting can strengthen his power.

For this reason, He did not need to expand His influence slowly and steadily like the other three gods. He needed war, and sending His agents into Qingzhou to start a war was clearly His way of spreading His faith and demonstrating His power.

Slaughter, battle, hatred, blood...

In this way, the other three gods would have no way to interfere, and when everything was completed...

The Celestial Venerable will descend to the mortal world in full force, and He will become the first deity to benefit from the grand plan!

Chapter 86: We sat together in our mechs, listening to the rain, and dreaming of the distant horizon.

Red overpowered blue.

Lu Yueyuan learned of this using the power of the Holy Emperor.

The other three gods could no longer intervene; the current situation was already decided when the agent of the Killing and Proving Heavenly Venerable entered.

At dawn, fog rose in the mountains and forests, and a light rain began to fall. The mobile fortress advanced in the rain.

Jealousy had awakened within her. She wrapped herself in the blanket Lu Yueyuan had given her and played in the water on the high platform.

This scene has a dreamlike quality. In his previous life, Lu Yueyuan had imagined such a scene: he was piloting a mecha, with a beautiful girl in the co-pilot's seat. They traveled through fields full of dandelions, rested in a quiet neon-lit city, felt the world was vast, and relied on each other as they journeyed to a distant place.

Young people's fantasies are always so romantic, which is why they are called young people.

Of course, it's also possible that the description of jealousy reminded Lu Yueyuan of his past fantasies. And it wasn't just fantasies; young people also possess a burning passion. In fact, whether in his past life or now, Lu Yueyuan should be a passionate young man. If he hadn't been born in Ming Huaiwei's village, but in the village of Jealousy, Jealousy would definitely have followed him. After all, he was a troublemaker, uncontrollable by adults. Stealing chickens and dogs was commonplace; what was tumbling down the mountain? If Lu Yueyuan were there, he would definitely laugh heartily and tumble down the mountain with Jealousy.

But he probably couldn't even protect against jealousy. When the demonic sect destroyed his village, he couldn't protect anything. The only thing he could do was give Ming Huai a little warmth while he was nestled in his arms, and that was all.

In that instant when the village was destroyed, just for a fleeting moment, as he held Ming Huaiwei in his arms, he thought to himself, "If only there were something that could carry them to a faraway place." At that time, Lu Yueyuan didn't yet have any memories of his past life, but this kind of fantasy still lingered in his very being.

We sat together in mechs, listening to the rain, dreaming of distant places – this kind of naive romance will likely disappear after we grow up.

Just like Lu Yueyuan now, he has realized that there won't be such powerful mechs, the sound of rain is not pleasant at all, and the distance is not far away; he can reach it with a wave of his hand.

He saw a huge dark shadow moving ahead and interrupted Jealousy, who was playing in the water, saying, "Are we almost there?"

“We’re here! That’s the big guy protecting our camp. I call him Big Dumb. Don’t worry, he’s safe!” Jealousy said.

"Then please be a little quieter. Would you like to get something to eat?" Lu Yueyuan asked.

"Actually, I was hungry just now and wanted to ask you for something to eat, but you were thinking about something very seriously, so I didn't dare to disturb you. I could only wad in the water to attract your attention, hehe..." Jealousy giggled.

The food was all in the storage ring that Gluttony had prepared for Lu Yueyuan. Since Lu Yueyuan had it, Jealousy really couldn't take it.

“If you’re hungry, you can just say so. I don’t need to eat, so sometimes I don’t notice.” Lu Yueyuan took out the meat pie from his storage ring and handed it to Ji You, warming it up with his spiritual energy as well.

"I wouldn't dare. Anyone would be too intimidated to approach you if they saw you looking so serious. Would you like some? It doesn't have to be a full meal, but eating with a beautiful girl is double the fun." Jealousy leaned closer, her pretty big eyes blinking.

“Okay, then give me half.” Lu Yueyuan didn’t object and asked for half, eating it with Jealousy in the sound of rain.

A spiritual energy shield rose up, raindrops pattering against it, and mist shrouded the scene, making the large object in the distance appear and disappear. Hey, can this be considered a fulfillment of the boy's fantasy? Lu Yueyuan looked at the adorable girl, who was contentedly eating a meat pie and would share it with him.

“How romantic,” Jealousy suddenly said. “The sound of rain, the mist, and the delicious meat pies. My Lord Agent, our journey is coming to an end, but I will remember it forever.”

As she spoke of jealousy, a sense of loss crept in. There was an underlying message: she wished the journey could be a little longer, and the destination a little farther away. However, she also knew her request was unreasonable; a divine agent always had many responsibilities.

“Okay, maybe another time,” Lu Yueyuan said.

The rain suddenly intensified, a strong wind howled past, and the enormous thing emerged from the clouds and came before them.

A dark shadow enveloped the fortress. This mechanical construct was much larger than the mobile fortress made by Jealousy. Its armor was made of special materials, and spiritual energy covered its surface, just like the protective spiritual energy of a cultivator. Its form blocked out the sun and even the rain.

"Don't be nervous, it's one of us. Hey, big oaf, it's me, requesting verification!" Jealousy said, jumping up and waving at the big guy.

Then she froze, and it wasn't until the big guy emerged from the fog that she could see clearly that countless flesh and blood were growing on the big guy's body, and half of his body was stained red.

The dark clouds pressed down, as if it were stepping on them.

Jealousy screamed in terror, and when she came to her senses, she realized that Lu Yueyuan had her under his arm and her fortress had been turned into a meat pie.

"What's going on? The big guy isn't obeying me, and there's all that flesh and blood... Lord Agent, let's run!" Jealousy shouted in the wind and rain.

"Can't you communicate with me telepathically?" Lu Yueyuan asked.

He moved swiftly through the air, and in an instant, he used the newly unlocked power of the Holy Emperor: [Retreat]. He pointed his right hand at a part of the mechanical construct, and that core suddenly retreated thousands of miles. The giant was thus missing a piece and crumbled.

"Amazing!" Jealousy whispered to Lu Yueyuan, "Long live the Proxy!"

"We don't need to speak so loudly when transmitting audio," Lu Yueyuan said.

"Hehehe." The jealousy trapped inside continued to chuckle foolishly.

They had already arrived at the entrance of the Mo family camp. Since they had been discovered, Lu Yueyuan was no longer bothered to pretend. Grabbing his jealousy, he instantly arrived at the Mo family camp, but it was deserted, with only large areas of wreckage and congealed blood remaining.

"What's going on here? Where is everyone?" Jealousy asked.

Lu Yueyuan quickly scanned the area with his divine sense. "They're all gone."

The agents of the Celestial Venerable of Killing to Attain the Dao should have completed their transformation, and they have most likely set off for the earth's veins.

Could it be that Qing Zai Shan has completely defected to the Heavenly Venerable's camp? No, it shouldn't be. If Qing Zai Shan had already defected, the proxy wouldn't have needed to come here specifically to convert him. He could have just gone to the earth veins and joined forces with Qing Zai Shan to complete the return to nothingness in Qingzhou.

In other words, they are highly likely to engage in a fierce battle.

"I have something to tell you. Almost all the members of the Mo family are dead, including the Grand Master," Lu Yueyuan said.

"Oh, is that so?" Jealousy scratched his head.

Aren't you sad?

“No…” Jealousy held back for a long time, “Should I cry? But I can’t cry.”

Chapter 87: If you're a true hero, why would you be afraid?

Qingzhou.

Under the leadership of the Heavenly Venerable of Killing to Attain the Dao, the Red Clan has completely annexed a quarter of Qingzhou's territory. The Mo Clan and those war-torn merchant guilds have been completely assimilated, and their corpses have become part of the manifestation of the Blood Sea Holy Spirit.

Those who came to their senses finally realized what was happening and began to retreat to safety under the protection of the Langya Gang. The disciples of the academy had already been mobilized, all under the command of Wen Ciji.

"The enemy is coming from four directions, and their numbers are still unknown. Each of them has basic protective spiritual energy."

"The worst part is that the Mo family's war machine has also been activated, and several of them are capable of rivaling those at the Dao Enlightenment Realm. We must prioritize dealing with them."

"It has been clearly observed that most believers and the Blood Army are converging on the ley lines. This is the only good news. Qing Zaishan and the Heavenly Venerable's representative may not have reached an agreement yet."

"Please be careful not to get infected by the blood energy. Blood energy is contagious. The relevant protective artifacts have been made. Please take good care of yourselves."

"Everyone in the academy, please use magic to create isolation zones in the areas I have marked. We will try our best to suppress the enemies from the four directions within the isolation zones."

Through the communication and real-time recording devices, Wen Ciji can give orders at any time.

However, she is actually better at management, and she was somewhat at a loss when faced with this sudden war.

After all, it was the Celestial Venerable's representative who personally came to this place, and the infection was so fast and fierce that it was impossible to contain.

Moreover, he himself had no intention of negotiating at all. It might be possible to negotiate with Qing Zaishan, but he arrived here without prior notice, and directly spread his doctrines, instigated war, and resurrected corpses, as if he were about to start a divine war.

It can only be said that what cannot be escaped will ultimately be escaped. Qingzhou pays tribute to the Jiuyi Sect of Zhongzhou every year. When the other party slaps its left cheek, it can only smile and offer its right cheek. Even after being so humble, it still cannot escape the fate of being trampled on.

This is absolutely outrageous!

Without a word, they destroyed the Mo family, one of the three major powers in Qingzhou, and a quarter of the region became the playthings of the gods. The god's agent became a synonym for nightmare.

In fact, Wen Ciji had no idea how long the Four Gods' so-called grand plan had been in the works.

This was not a whim at all; ever since the four gods stood side by side in the Twilight Age, they had been plotting the origin of the world.

The four great deities entered the Sea of ​​the Netherworld and began the creation of the world with their powers. When the legendary prophecy came true, the world was destroyed and merged into the void. They will divide the origin of the world and become the Heavenly Dao of the new world.

They will transcend the realm of gods and truly enter a new domain.

Therefore, at the very beginning of the grand plan, they will plunder by any means necessary, their power will bare their fangs at the people of the world, everything will be returned to the Void Sea, and all things in the world will only become followers of the Four Gods in the new world.

Now, the Heavenly Venerable of Killing to Attain the Dao has revealed his fangs to the world.

Under the command of the agent, the Blood Sea Holy Spirits descend to the mortal world. Together with the Celestial Venerable, they will carry out the will of the gods in Qingzhou.

Now, the Langya Gang, the largest gang in Qingzhou, must make a choice.

In Lu Yueyuan's simulated future, faced with the invasion of the Four Gods, the merchant guild's choice would undoubtedly be to flee.

As they themselves said, what difference does it make where you do business? Therefore, those who remained to resist were mainly the Mohists and the academy.

But now, the Celestial Venerable's proxy has invaded ahead of schedule and directly destroyed the Mo family, causing Qingzhou's resistance to crumble even faster.

With Wen Ciji alone, she simply couldn't possibly resist, and the final outcome should theoretically be worse than the simulation.

But there is one difference.

That is, Jing Xingzhou is still alive.

After Wen Ciji finished making the arrangements, he looked at Jing Xingzhou. At the same time, everyone in the Langya Gang was waiting for Jing Xingzhou's orders.

On Jing Xingzhou, Lord Hengjun also manifested. He briefly scanned Qingzhou, observing the traces of the agent and the guardian.

Finally, He clearly told Jing Xingzhou that Qingzhou was doomed.

There are indeed conflicts between the Celestial Venerable's representative and Qing Zaishan, but it's only a matter of time before they reach an agreement.

Now, the Celestial Venerable has offered a high price to Lord Hengjun. As long as Lord Hengjun makes a deal with Him, Lord Hengjun will receive more, and the Celestial Venerable can then rightfully take up residence in Qingzhou.

Therefore, Lord Hengjun also gave Jing Xingzhou two choices.

First, if Jing Xingzhou and the Lord of the Underworld go together, the Heavenly Venerable will find a way to suppress Jing Xingzhou's curse, allowing him to live out his old age in peace.

Second, it will be destroyed along with Qingzhou.

But to the Lord's surprise, Jing Xingzhou didn't choose any of them, but instead made a new deal with Him.

Now, Jing Xingzhou activated the sound transmission device to ensure that his voice could be heard by the remaining people of Qingzhou.

His voice was clear and melodious, resounding through the sky.

"Everyone, please do not be afraid. I am the agent of Lord Hengjun and the leader of the Langya Gang. Just now, I made an exchange with Lord Hengjun with my soul. He will protect us in this war."

"So, there's no need to run away anymore. Let's boldly resist and start a divine war. We are no longer children without divine protection."

Next, streaks of emerald green light descended from the sky, illuminating various parts of Qingzhou.

It is a blessing from Lord Hengjun.

At this moment, even ordinary people possessed the power to absorb spiritual energy. The protective spiritual energy of the Blood Sea Holy Spirit could be broken even by ordinary people. The merchant guild distributed magical artifacts immediately, and the disciples of the academy were commanded and organized according to Wen Ciji's arrangements. The counterattack that did not exist in Lu Yueyuan's simulated future actually appeared at this moment.

The Blood Army and the Celestial Venerable's followers were suppressed in the quarantine zone and could not advance an inch.

But the situation has not improved. The agent has led most of the team to find Qing Zaishan. Once the two sides reach an agreement and join forces, the war of the gods should begin in earnest.

She possesses high-level combat power, including a reclusive hermit, but she cannot defeat two powerful individuals who have achieved oneness with the Dao, one of whom is even a divine agent.

Jing Xingzhou, who was keeping a close eye on the battlefield situation, asked Wen Ciji, "Has the Recluse Hermit not responded yet?"

The recluse received the blessing of that forbidden god, but the god's representative went to the Mo family's territory. The recluse's last reply was that she would go to find him, but so far, there has been no new news.

The war has begun, and the Mo family's territory is now in great danger.

Even though the Celestial Venerable's representative is not here, the place has become extremely strange.

"I believe in the recluse, she can do it."

Wen Ciji told Jing Xingzhou that she noticed he had lost even more weight and his face seemed even paler.

If he had ten years left to live before, now he seems to be terminally ill and could pass away at any moment.

"I have always trusted you."

He smiled and said that there was no fear or regret in his smile, and that even paleness was not scary under such a smile.
