Trouble in the Backyard / Don't Die on Me, Heretic!

The emergence of the Void Cult is tantamount to announcing the imminent arrival of Ultimate Fear.

Anixid had neither the time nor the energy to try living the life of an ordinary person.

The Queen of the South pondered for a moment, then picked up the document about the cult again from the table, read it carefully, tapped the table lightly with her fingertips, and seemed to understand something.

The downfall of the Church of Light does not seem to be entirely a good thing; in this era, the field of faith needs to be sown.

Perhaps I should find a way to give these people faith again.

After a moment of silence, seemingly having made up her mind, Anixid quickly jotted down some ideas on a piece of white paper.

Meanwhile, the southern Queen wandered, and she became quite curious about the traveler's discovery.

Has something really been discovered on Lieyang Star?

Hopefully, things won't get worse.

Chapter 1060, Section 1107: Backyard on Fire

Styx Galaxy, School of Dead Songs.

Wearing a hood, the Grim Death God Karl, with a scholarly air and a touch of effeminacy, was sitting at a table taking reading notes.

Although he had been under surveillance for several months, the chief god of the Styx Galaxy became increasingly calm and composed, failing to notice anything unusual.

In the hall, Pan Zhen, sitting upright and meditating with his eyes closed, received a specially encrypted Dark Plane Communication.

"General Pan Zhen, it's an extremely urgent matter!"

"There has been a change at the Tiandao Palace. The Emperor Lord orders you to return to Lieyang Star immediately to oversee the situation!"

Pan Zhen suddenly opened his eyes, a solemn expression flashing across them.

He then suppressed his shock and continued communicating with Black Crocodile Guard Xuan Kun had sent him the message.

"Didn't the Emperor Lord go to Freyja? What exactly happened?"

"His Majesty returned yesterday, but upon arriving at Lieyang Star, he immediately went into seclusion, forbidding anyone to disturb him. He also left an oral decree, ordering you, Grand General, to come and take charge of state affairs!"

In order to gain the trust of the Commander-in-Chief of the Three Armies, the Xuan Crocodile Guard immediately showed Pan Zhen the edict talisman held by Dihong Kun for verification.

It's true! After verifying the data, Pan Zhen immediately believed in the authenticity of the transfer order.

What did the Emperor Lord discover on his trip to Freyja? Could it be more important than monitoring Death God Karl?

But since things had come to this point, and the emperor's command was difficult to disobey, Pan Zhen could only hastily get up with a heart full of doubts.

"What, General Pan Zhen is leaving? Has my Styx Galaxy failed to provide adequate hospitality?"

Death God Karl paused, his pen poised in thought, before striking a friendly smile.

"This place is too shady; staying here for too long isn't good for my old bones..."

"Besides, I've troubled you for so long, I should go back and visit..."

Pan Zhen laughed heartily, handling the situation with ease and appearing very polite.

"Alright then, please go ahead. I won't keep you any longer..."

Death God Karl continued writing, responding casually with an air of nonchalance.

"There's no need to try and persuade them to stay."

"Although I am leaving, in order to deepen the cooperation and understanding between our two countries, the Tiandao Palace will send a Guardian God General to experience the local customs and culture of the Styx Galaxy."

Pan Zhen gave Karl a meaningful look, then strode towards the door.

Currently, only Black Crocodile Guard Xuan Kun, remains temporarily at the Tiandao Palace to serve.

Although this guy is powerful enough, he's not very thoughtful, but there's no other choice, so we'll just have to make do.

After deciding on his successor, Pan Zhen sent his spatial coordinates to the Gate of the Heavenly Realm, and then his figure disappeared into a sea of runic light.

Bang!

At that moment, in the dimly lit hall, the fountain pen in Karl's hand was suddenly crushed, its fragments falling onto the carpet with a dull thud.

"My God Karl, the Lieyang Star has gone too far!"

"At your command, I guarantee that the Taotie and Sirius fleets will immediately head towards the Tiandao Palace!"

In the darkness, a gravedigger wearing a skull-adorned shoulder ornament and a black robe emerged from the shadows, bowing to his chief god for instructions.

"The Taotie and Sirius fleet... are going to attack Lieyang Star?"

"Are you planning to send these lackeys to deliver vegetables?"

Death God Karl scoffed and shook his head, showing no interest in his subordinate's suggestion.

Although he is a mentor at the Super God Academy, he is all alone and his foundation is too weak.

The fleets of Taotie and Sirius could barely bully civilizations in the early God-Making Era, let alone confront established mythological empires like Lieyang Star and the Angels.

"Alright, I appreciate your kind gesture..."

Seeing his subordinate's embarrassment, Karl waved his hand slightly and spoke to ease his awkwardness.

"If they want to send someone, let them come."

"Once my Void Engine is perfected, these stubborn creatures of the old era will be swept into the dustbin of history!"

"I have heard that indescribable sound, how beautiful, how profound."

"The future belongs to the void, and merging with Ultimate Fear is the true direction for the evolution of intelligent beings!"

The Grim Reaper rose from his seat, spread his arms as if to embrace, and murmured with deep affection.

The gravedigger bowed his head in reverence and asked cautiously.

"My God Karl, do you mean we just need to wait and do nothing?"

Karl shook his head slightly, showing no anger at his subordinate's foolish remarks. Instead, a sinister smile appeared on his lips.

"Waiting will not win you the favor of fate."

"Go tell Hua Ye and the Banbolan Triangle Body, they need to get moving..."

The gravedigger hesitated upon hearing this.

"If we make too much of a fuss, will it alert the Lieyang Star and the angels?"

Death God Karl smirked coldly, his expression one of disdain.

"I'm afraid the Lieyang Star don't have the energy to meddle in other people's business anymore."

"As for the Angel Nebula, it's just a bunch of insignificant grunts..."

Hearing the pronouncement of the supreme deity, the gravedigger felt somewhat at ease.

Then, Karl looked at the dark starry sky of the Styx Galaxy, his gaze deep and lingering.

"Besides, I'm not stupid enough to let Hua Ye and the others attack the Angel Nebula and the Lieyang Galaxy..."

"Driving these hyenas into that hunting area might yield unexpected results..."

Upon hearing this, the gravedigger's eyes revealed a mixture of surprise and excitement.

Has their supreme god, after plotting for so long, finally decided to take action against the threat of the impending Void Era?

"Go ahead, the fewer people who know about this, the better..."

Karl sensed that the Gate of the Heavenly Realm from the Lieyang Star was opening above the Styx Galaxy, and knew that another "distinguished guest" was about to arrive.

He immediately withstood the gravedigger's last few words, then put on a polite smile and went out to greet him.

Meanwhile, on Lieyang Star, Pan Zhen, who had rushed there urgently, frowned as he looked at the tightly closed gates of the Tiandao Palace, his mind filled with doubts.

Immediately, the general knelt before the door, and his deep, energy-filled chanting clearly reached the main hall of the Tiandao Palace.

"Your Emperor Lord, may I ask why you have summoned me back?"

"Take over the Lieyang and protect the Dharma for me."

After a moment of silence, Dihong Kun's solemn low murmur echoed in the empty hall.

However, the sound had an indescribable strangeness, like phlegm stuck in the throat, filled with a sticky, indistinct feeling.

Without waiting for further thought, a Jade Token emerged from the Micro Wormhole and landed in Pan Zhen's palm. On its front, the four characters "As If I Personally Arrived" were written in tadpole runes.

Pan Zhen immediately felt that this thing was a bit too hot to handle, because this Jade Token was not only a symbol of status, but also a key to unlocking many secrets.

As long as Dihong Kun remains in seclusion, he is essentially the Uncrowned King of Lieyang Star, and even has the power to replace Reina and select the next successor.

"Your Majesty, please reconsider!"

Pan Zhen wanted to return the Jade Token, but Dihong Kun of the Tiandao Palace insisted on keeping it.

"Through Freyja's visit, I have learned of a great mystery of the universe, and I must now retreat into seclusion to concentrate on its study..."

"This concerns the very survival of the entire Lieyang Star. While I am in seclusion, you must guard Lieyang for me!"

After Dihong Kun gave his solemn instructions, the Tiandao Palace once again disappeared into the formation, shrouded by the clouds gathered from all directions.

Pan Zhen stared at the bewildering scene before him, his brow furrowed, a sense of unease creeping into his heart.

Everything happened so suddenly; he felt like something was off.

But with his mind still troubled, the general of the Lieyang Star had no choice but to give up.

Sigh, if that kid were here, maybe he could give me some inspiration...

But now, things have changed drastically, the original plan has been broken, and we can only take it one step at a time.

I wonder how things went on his trip to the Hongmeng Galaxy.

Pan Zhen was immediately baffled and had no choice but to return to the government office to deal with the pile of things on Lieyang Star.

However, not long after the general left, the clouds surrounding the Tiandao Palace began to tremble violently.

At this moment, in the magnificent hall, a bright yellow figure kneeling on the chart had one hand on the ground, his shoulders trembling violently, and large beads of sweat rolling down to the ground.

Dihong Kun sat cross-legged on the futon, his brows furrowed, eyes closed, silently reciting the Heart-Cleansing Mantra and regulating his breathing.

Even so, the intense pain, as if countless tentacles were drilling into his brain and stirring and rubbing, came in waves, one stronger than the next.

The ensuing wet, whimpering sounds gradually amplified, driving one almost to madness.

"Get out of here!"

Dihong Kun shattered the white marble slabs on the ground with a single palm strike, letting out a hoarse roar from his throat.

Dark red flames surged and spread, causing the surrounding incense burners and ornaments to crumble and shatter, with a continuous clanging sound.

After a brief period of chaos, Dihong Kun fell into a state of frenzy, but his mind cleared up slightly, and the grayish-white, turbid color in his eyes, like a cocoon, gradually faded.

I am the Lord of the Lieyang! The Magnificent Emperor Yan! How dare I tolerate such insolence!

Dihong Kun gritted his teeth and sat still, his hands forming the Meridian Seal, continuing his struggle against the eerie whispers in his mind.

The Tiandao Palace returned to peace, with a few candles still burning, flickering and burning.

Although Dihong Kun sat alone under the bright light, he exuded an awe-inspiring presence.

However, the shadowy figures all around resembled thousands of menacing, dark tentacles.

These eerie darknesses, secretly woven into an impenetrable net, coiled around the Heavenly Emperor of Lieyang, seemingly poised to strangle him.

P. S.: That's all for today. I can't keep up for now. I still owe 4 more chapters. I'll try my best to finish them this week.

Chapter 1061, Section 1108: Don't Die, Heretic!

Hongmeng Galaxy, Shangqing City Wounded Soldiers Camp.

An elite Demon Warrior leaned against the bed, drinking with his head down, while medical staff around him frantically treated his wounds.

"Boss, are your old injuries alright...?"

The medical staff swallowed hard as they looked at the hideous scars covering the Demon Warrior's body; even his iconic bat wings were damaged.
