Main Battlefield

"So, according to your logic, you abandoned the Holy Dynasty? You abandoned the Holy Dynasty's four billion people?"

Gu Jinlai, the Central Plains have been secured.

Ding Zhongyuan sensed the dissatisfaction in Gu Jinlai's words and said with a wry smile, "It's not because we abandoned the Holy Dynasty's four billion people, but because... the Holy Dynasty's leadership's ideology has indeed undergone a fundamental change, and... for a long time to come, the Holy Dynasty will not need our help or salvation at all."

"Don't need help? What do you mean?"

There have been some surprises Gu Jinlai.

Ding Zhongyuan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "If the Holy Dynasty has enough courage to fight back, it is fully capable of defeating and annihilating the Demonic Beasts surrounding it!"

He looked at the Gu Jinlai: "Because the true main force of Demonic Beasts, the Demon Emperors, the Demon Gods, including the most powerful Devil Master Cangming, their primary target has never been any Holy Dynasty, but our Immortal Kingdom! In fact, several years ago, Devil Master Cangming launched a large-scale conscription, and all the Demon Emperors and Demon Gods turned their attention to the Immortal Kingdom!"

"The Demon Emperor and the Demon God have turned their attention to the Immortal Kingdom..."

Gu Jinlai, those who have heard Ding Zhongyuan's words have been both surprised and found to be quite reasonable.

Decades ago, Demonic Beasts breached the twelve domains that the Holy Domain had divided into.

It should be noted that the forces occupying the twelve domains inherited many of the assets left behind when the Holy Domain Celestial Master civilization fell, and there are quite a few top-tier experts among them.

According to what we know from Gu Jinlai, when Liyang Cave Heaven fought against Demonic Beasts, it mobilized four immortals who resided in the world.

Not to mention other forces.

Despite rumors circulating that the alliance formed by the various sects of the twelve domains was breached by Demonic Beasts primarily due to distrust within the human race and constant sabotage among them, but...

No matter how much they dragged things down, the overall strength of the Twelve Domains back then was definitely far superior to that of the Holy Dynasty now.

The Demonic Beasts, capable of conquering the twelve domains, remained indifferent to the Holy Dynasty, allowing it to survive for decades...

If the Demonic Beasts suffered heavy losses after conquering the twelve domains?

Now, decades have passed since all twelve domains fell. The Demonic Beasts have devoured the spiritual essence of countless fallen humans and should have recovered their strength long ago, perhaps even becoming more powerful.

It's simply unbelievable that the Holy Dynasty could stand firm under such circumstances.

According to Ding Zhongyuan, the Demonic Beasts' true target is the immortal realm...

This explains why the Holy Dynasty has stood the test of time.

"Originally, although the Demonic Beasts were powerful, because the Devil Master could not truly descend, these Demonic Beasts were actually no match for our immortal kingdom. Under the leadership of the Immortal Lord, we even launched wave after wave of counterattacks..."

"Immortal Lord!?"

Gu Jinlai was startled. "A celestial realm has a celestial ruler?"

But then, he seemed to realize that he had made a fuss over nothing.

The path to becoming an immortal was already researched by the immortal kingdom a thousand years ago.

A Celestial Lord has now been born...

It's not strange at all.

Perhaps, after a thousand years of accumulation, the path to becoming an Immortal Lord has been completed, and there may be more than one Immortal Lord born.

"Have!"

The Central Plains are firmly established.

"Even with a celestial lord... the celestial kingdom still cannot expel the Demonic Beasts?"

Gu Jinlai appeared solemn.

"On the front lines, we are not afraid of Demonic Beasts, but..."

Ding Zhongyuan gave a bitter smile, "We fear the Demonic Spirit."

Demonic Spirit...

Silent Gu Jinlai.

This system perfectly counters cultivators.

"Even the Immortal Lord can't fight against those powerful Demonic Spirit?"

"Among Demonic Spirit, even a high-ranking Spirit Venerable cannot corrupt a Celestial Lord in a short time. However, even a Celestial Lord, as powerful as he is, is still too weak to harm Demonic Spirit. But if a Celestial Lord is surrounded and entangled by many demonic gods, and is constantly being corrupted by a large number of Spirit Venerables..."

"The Demonic Spirit have already directly joined the war. Under these circumstances, shouldn't the Immortal Kingdom promote the Celestial Master system?"

"It has been implemented."

Ding Zhongyuan said, "But... to this day, no one has successfully entered the realm of the Creator."

"No one has stepped into the realm of the Creator!?"

"Yes."

Ding Zhongyuan nodded. "Although there are many Creator inheritances in the Immortal Kingdom, the path of the Creator has been broken for hundreds of years. Inheritances are constantly being lost. In addition, with the chaos of Demonic Beasts and monsters over the past hundred years, when there is real danger, will those major cultivation sects choose to protect their own sect's inheritance first, or will they think about protecting the Creator's inheritance?"

Speechless Gu Jinlai.

"Moreover, there is an insurmountable chasm between a Heavenly Monarch and a Creator. In recent years, hundreds of Heavenly Monarchs from the Immortal Kingdom have embarked on the path to become Creators, and without exception, they have all failed..."

As Ding Zhongyuan said this, a trace of sorrow flashed in his eyes.

A thousand years ago, due to an anomaly in the Heavenly Master Lineage world, all the creators and the Heavenly Lords who could perceive the true spirit world were lost, and the cultivators were plunged into ecstasy.

In an attempt to rid themselves of the shadow cast by the Celestial Masters, they burned all books related to the Heavenly Master Lineage and even persecuted the surviving Celestial Masters.

Although some insightful individuals have preserved some of the Creator's scriptures, the number is ultimately small.

Without a complete system, it is extremely difficult for a legacy to create a creator.

Just like a physics book that's designed to trap you, without corresponding materials in other subjects like mathematics and chemistry, even the smartest person would find it difficult to become a physics master.

Especially when there is no mentor and one can only learn on their own.

Currently, on the battlefield of the Immortal Kingdom, Demonic Spirit have joined the war, and the cultivator system is gradually beginning to bear the consequences of its past actions in suppressing the Celestial Master system.

"In fact, given the current situation in the Immortal Kingdom, we still hold a significant advantage."

A flicker of fear crossed Ding Zhongyuan's eyes. "This is because, in recent years, the Blood Abyss has been expanding further. If this abyss is allowed to complete its expansion, the Devil Master Cangming will be able to truly descend, and at that time..."

"Devil Master!"

Gu Jinlai, people have learned about this terrifying existence from the memories of the Aries Star Lord.

Although the Creator had never actually fought the Devil Master, he knew that it was because of the Devil Master's appearance that the Creator fell for the first time in the clash between the Creator and the Demonic Spirit.

This is a kind of...

An being on par with the Creator, but seemingly more powerful.

In order to kill that Devil Master, the Holy Domain mobilized six Creators, and only then did they manage to kill him, and they themselves paid a considerable price.

According to the theory derived from the memories of the Aries Star Lord, the Devil Master even had the advantage of fighting three against one against the Creator.

The Devil Master is a being more powerful than the Creator and naturally counters the cultivator system.

Given that the immortal lords couldn't even kill the spirit lords and could only barely hold them off, what if a Devil Master were to truly descend...?

It is likely that even the immortal rulers of the immortal kingdoms will not escape the fate of death.

"Now, the key to the battle between the Immortal Kingdom and the Demonic Beasts lies in the Blood Marsh Abyss. The Immortal Kingdom is launching wave after wave of attacks in an attempt to reclaim the Blood Marsh Abyss, while the Demonic Beasts are constantly mobilizing troops to defend it. When they realized that their fighting strength was insufficient, they even mobilized a large number of people from outside the Twelve Domains to rush to the Blood Marsh Abyss for support."

Ding Zhongyuan said in a deep voice, "Originally, there were more than a dozen demon gods surrounding the Holy Dynasty, but now... according to our investigation, there are probably only five left! If the Holy Dynasty can muster enough courage to counterattack the Demonic Beasts, with the power of the six great grotto heavens behind the Holy Dynasty, it can completely break through the Demonic Beasts' blockade, recover a large amount of lost territory, and reclaim a large number of resource points."

Cultivators are quite dependent on resources.

Especially the condensation of a saint's body...

Without suitable resources, many people's condensed sacred bodies are too weak to withstand the tribulation and become illusory immortals.

Therefore, if the Holy Dynasty can truly expand its territory and recover lost lands, instead of relying on annexing those refugees and plundering their resources for cultivation, it may even have a chance to truly rise in the future.

"Has the Holy Dynasty's higher-ups learned that the number of demon gods on the outer perimeter has decreased?"

This Gu Jinlai.

"Of course we know, our people have conveyed this message to them more than once, but..."

Ding Zhongyuan shook his head. "The high-ranking officials of the Holy Dynasty probably think that even if there are not many demon gods left, it will still cost them a lot to fight their way out. In fact, if those illusory immortals who have obtained divine weapons to recognize their masters want to truly unleash power comparable to that of demon gods, they must rely on the spiritual energy in their grotto heavens. After a battle, decades of accumulation in their grotto heavens may be destroyed in an instant. Therefore, even if they know this news, they are all indifferent and do not have the courage to take the opportunity to fight the Demonic Beasts to the death."

After speaking, he looked at Gu Jinlai: "Based on our understanding of you, Ancient Martial Saint, over this period of time, we know that you are a person who wants to do things, to do great things. Therefore, we sincerely invite you to come to the Immortal Kingdom to fight against the Demonic Beasts together. The Immortal Kingdom is the true land of hope. Everyone there is truly united. Even the weakest person will absorb spiritual energy to strengthen the power of the Immortal Kingdom. With everyone working together, the Immortal Kingdom's hope of defeating the Demonic Beasts is within reach. As for the so-called hope of the Holy Dynasty, it is just false propaganda. It is only to deceive countless people into fleeing to the Holy Dynasty and then plunder and exhaust all the resources they have for the resurgence of their sects."

"You don't plan to stay in the Holy Dynasty anymore?"

Gu Jinlai at him.

"The battle between the Immortal Kingdom and the Demonic Beasts Realm over the Blood Abyss has now reached a fever pitch. If we can drive the Demonic Beasts Realm out of the Blood Abyss, the situation will be completely reversed, and the Immortal Kingdom's war against the Demonic Beasts Realm will enter a new phase. Therefore, just as the Demonic Beasts has summoned almost all the Demonic Beasts from the twelve domains, the Immortal Kingdom has also issued a call to all cultivators active outside..."

Ding Zhongyuan paused here, then continued, "Cultivators above the Celestial Person Realm are all within the scope of this call. In this great battle, the Immortal Kingdom needs the strength of everyone, including myself, Bodhi, Liu Zhenyuan, and ambitious individuals like the Ancient Martial Saint."

Gu Jinlai hearing what Ding Zhongyuan said, Gu Jinlai remained silent for a moment before finally saying, "The Immortal Kingdom is vast and full of powerful figures. In such an unprecedented war, even a Martial Saint like me might not be able to make any difference... So, I can only apologize."
