The tenth year of the Heavenly Emperor's reign.
The Peacock Emperor led the Star River, Ancient Gods, Ye Xu, the great sects, the Crimson Flame Divine Phoenix, the Artifact Sect, holy lands, the Pill King, and suppressed the Gate of Life and Death, the Bright Soul Sect, the Heavenly Demon Palace, the Myriad Demons Hall... They eradicated demons, monsters, fiends, and evil spirits, swearing to carve out a bright and clear heaven and earth. The war in the Eastern Wasteland had only just begun, yet it swiftly swept across the great realm.
He also ordered the Old Emperor Lord to cooperate with Heavenly Lord Xuanhuang, leading the Five Ghost Emperors to shake the north, cut away the miasma of demons, topple mountains and raze temples, and destroy licentious shrines and wicked gods.
The Heavenly Emperor wanted the myriad gods of Northern Reed to submit to the Heavenly Court, register themselves in ledgers and rewrite their divine names, each performing their proper duties, forging faith among the mortal world and feeding it back to the world.
At the moment the war between great realms began.
The blue-black great banner fluttered.
Incense and faith flowed back into a vast golden ocean.
High above the heavens, Tu Shan Jun controlled the course of the war. He had indeed said that he would make all living beings hate him, yet the compassion of the Three Teachings' patriarchs still made him unwilling to harm the innocent. This was also the conviction he had never changed from beginning to end.
Thus, he listened carefully to every corner between heaven and earth.
Even as the war drums surged to their peak, the wishes of all living beings remained clear.
There was a child who had survived by helping villagers and living off food from a hundred households.
