Wu Shattered Star River

More than half a year later, in the Celestial Court, Eastern Palace.

Heavenly Demon stormed in. The Eastern Heavenly Emperor was in his study, dealing with military affairs.

He was still the Grand Marshal of the Heavenly Court's armies. All the troops in various regions were under his command and subject to his dispatch.

In the battle where the God Race and Demon Race attacked the Heavenly Court, the Human Race suffered heavy losses, with the majority of their army killed in action. Therefore, in recent years, the Heavenly Court has mobilized a large amount of resources to continuously train the army. These matters now fall upon Jiang Hen Shui.

Heavenly Demon walked to the outside of the study. An old man guarded the entrance. Seeing Heavenly Demon approach, he hurriedly called out, "Grand Marshal, Heavenly Demon is here!"

"Come in!"

Jiang Hen Shui's voice came. Heavenly Demon strode inside. After entering and performing a salute, he took out a military report, his expression solemn, and said, "Grand Marshal, there's unusual activity on the Wanfo Temple side."

"Hmm?"

Jiang Hen Shui's eyes shot out a cold light. He took the letter, scanned it twice, and then angrily exclaimed, "Has Tathagata really gone mad? He hasn't even digested the territory of the Tianmo Cave, has he? Is he already preparing to start another great war?"

The military report was obtained by the Dark Spy Division. The Wanfo Temple has been expanding its army on a large scale recently. Lingshan has allocated a large amount of resources, and armies are being trained in all realms.

According to the Dark Spy Division's person in charge at Wanfo Temple, Wanfo Temple is conservatively preparing to expand by two hundred million troops this time.

In addition, many races from the Tianmo Cave have become affiliated with Wanfo Temple, and these races are now organizing their armies.

Even if Heavenly Demon didn't transmit this information, the Heavenly Court's Intelligence Division would likely receive the news soon. Such a large-scale military expansion cannot be concealed.

Expanding by two hundred million troops, plus the armies of various races from the Tianmo Cave, the number of soldiers could reach at least three hundred million.

What is Buddha planning to do with so many resources and so many troops? It's not just for a military parade, is it?

Buddha's intention is self-evident. Either he's going to attack the Land of Eternal Night, or he's going to directly attack God King Mountain.

The Heavenly Court and God King Mountain are allies. If he dares to attack God King Mountain, that's equivalent to declaring war on the Heavenly Court.

Wanfo Temple only ended the great war a few years ago. Several Bodhisattvas died in battle, and even more Vajras were killed. Wanfo Temple's vitality was also severely depleted.

Under normal circumstances, Wanfo Temple should recuperate for hundreds or thousands of years, but who would have thought they would start a war so quickly?

Jiang Hen Shui scolded Buddha for being a madman for this reason.

Heavenly Demon was silent for a moment and then said, "The Dark Spy Division reports that a Buddhist saying has been circulating in Wanfo Temple recently: 'Evil is about to descend, and a great calamity is approaching for all living beings. If all beings wish to cross the sea of suffering, they can only convert to my Buddha.'"

"Evil?"

Jiang Hen Shui raised an eyebrow and sneered, "Isn't evil just the Evil Race? Buddha likes to play mysterious. Does he want to unify the entire Great Chiliocosm before the Evil Race descends, gathering all the power of the Great Chiliocosm to resist the Evil Race?"

"Possibly!"

Heavenly Demon nodded and said, "Buddha knows how to predict heavenly secrets. He should have calculated when the Evil Race will descend. He's so anxious. Could the Evil Race descend within one or two hundred years? Does he want to unify the Great Chiliocosm within one or two hundred years?"

"He's dreaming."

Jiang Hen Shui sneered, "Not to mention whether he has the ability to unify the world, even if he could unify it, how many powerhouses from various races would die in battle? By then, the entire Great Chiliocosm would be severely weakened, with most of the powerhouses killed in battle. What would we rely on to resist the Evil Race?"

Heavenly Demon agreed and nodded, "Buddha seems to have really gone mad. Those wealthy clans in Wanfo Temple have been allocated so much territory this time, perhaps they can't suppress their inner desires. They all want to expand crazily and become the masters of the entire Great Chiliocosm."

"Monitor closely!"

Jiang Hen Shui waved his hand and said, "Report any situation in a timely manner. Bribe some Wanfo Temple spies to see if we can find out where Wanfo Temple is preparing to attack this time."

"Is it attacking the Land of Eternal Night or attacking God King Mountain? Also... send a copy of the information you received to Shen Tianlong and have them secretly prepare for war."

It takes time for Wanfo Temple to reorganize its army, at least a year or two.

And even if they attack, they will attack God King Mountain first, so Jiang Hen Shui is not in a hurry, but he secretly curses Buddha as a madman.

Heavenly Demon went down. Jiang Hen Shui flashed and left the study, going to the Green Emperor Palace to report the information to the Green Emperor.

After discussing it with the Green Emperor for a while, the Jade Emperor probably received the news and sent a message for all the Heavenly Emperors to go to the Hall of Universal Brightness to discuss matters.

There was a lot of noise and commotion in the Hall of Universal Brightness, but no resolution was formed. They couldn't possibly start reorganizing their army immediately just because Wanfo Temple was preparing for war, could they?

So, they could only wait and see what happened and see which force Wanfo Temple was preparing to attack.

In addition, the Jade Emperor sent an envoy to Wanfo Temple, wanting to persuade the Wanfo Temple higher-ups.

After all, the Evil Race was about to descend, and the Great Chiliocosm was still fighting and consuming itself. When the Evil Race really descended, no one could stop them, and all forces would have to submit to the iron hooves of the Evil Race.

The God Race received the news and immediately became very nervous. The God Lord immediately ordered the mobilization of a large amount of resources and began a large-scale military reorganization.

In addition, all the treasured lands were opened, allowing the geniuses of the God Race to enter and cultivate, striving to cultivate more God Kings and God Emperors.

The news spread to the Heavenly Court, and the Jade Emperor followed suit and issued an order to open all the treasured lands. As long as they were geniuses, they could freely enter the treasured lands to cultivate in seclusion.

The Jade Emperor felt the danger.

Not to mention the imminent threat of Wanfo Temple, the Evil Race would descend sooner or later, no more than two hundred years.

If they didn't descend from the Heavenly Court, they would descend from other regions. The Great Chiliocosm was so large, how could it be stopped?

So, there would inevitably be a very tragic battle in the future, concerning the life and death of the Heavenly Court.

Now, the Heavenly Court didn't need to mass produce soldiers, but the cultivation of powerhouses was imminent.

Previously, the Heavenly Court and the major wealthy clans controlled those treasured lands. Only the most outstanding disciples within the clan were qualified to enter. The top geniuses of the branch families were qualified to enter, but ordinary geniuses had no chance.

If they were from affiliated families, even if they had unparalleled talent, they couldn't even think about entering these top-level treasured lands.

Not to mention those commoners, various resources were almost completely controlled, and it was very difficult to improve.

If ordinary cultivators in the Heavenly Court wanted to advance, there were only three paths to take—

First, join the army and rise step by step by virtue of military merit, risking their lives to earn resources.

Second, join a large family, work for them, fight to the death for them, and then gain the trust of the large family, being promoted little by little.

Perhaps with good luck, after tens of thousands of years, your combat power will be accomplished, and your family may become an affiliated family of a large family.

The third is to kill and plunder…

This path is the fastest way to obtain resources, but it is also the most dangerous. Because if you commit a crime, you will be wanted by the Heavenly Court and may be arrested and killed at any time. When killing and plundering, there is also a high possibility of dying.

Apart from this, the commoners of the Heavenly Court have almost no channels for advancement.

But now it's different. The major treasured lands are open for free. As long as you have good talent, you can freely enter and exit, and there will be a great hope of rapid improvement.

Of course.

If you show good talent, the large families will definitely try to win you over, and you will eventually become a member of the large family.

In addition, because of the Evil Race and Wanfo Temple, the Green Emperor faction and the Jade Emperor faction have recently become much more harmonious, reducing a lot of open and secret strife.

All the powerhouses know that when the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact. If the Heavenly Court is finished, everyone will die.

Only by sincere cooperation can we overcome the difficulties together.
