Capital.

Federation Parliament.

"His Excellency the Speaker is still in seclusion."

In the enormous, suspended hall, the vice-speaker looked around and spoke in a deep voice:

"I believe you are all aware of the matters we will discuss today."

"The Other Shore World- Honored One, World-Honored Tathagata."

There was a great commotion in the hall, with many venerable ones and powerful figures whispering among themselves.

Under Federation, when a being Ascension to Divinity and becomes a revered being, they can serve as a [member of parliament].

All matters concerning the Federation are decided through discussions among members of Congress, and a vote by a respected member counts as one vote.

A powerful councilor's vote is equivalent to ten votes, while Great Divine Ability User has a vote that is worth a hundred.

'Knock knock knock'

The white-haired old man tapped the table three times with his knuckles, and only after the vast hall had quieted down did he speak in a deep voice:

"In my opinion, World-Honored Tathagata the Other Shore World can only allow the Venerable One to enter."

"And with each day that the Other Shore World exists, the likelihood of uprisings in the provinces increases."

After pausing, He looked around and continued:

"In a sense, the existence of the Other Shore World has inspired many with ill intentions; it has become more like a benchmark and beacon for those who wish to rebel."

The lawmakers nodded silently, clearly recognizing the seriousness of the problem.

Prior to this, although there had been rebellious provinces, there were only two or three, and the Federation had the ability to completely suppress them at any time.

The reason they didn't do it was simply because it wasn't worth it—behind the earliest three rebellious provinces, there was the shadow of Great Divine Ability User from the capital.

But here's the problem.

Even the Great Divine Ability User secretly supported the rebellion did not want to see the Federation truly disintegrate; they simply wanted to use it to their own advantage.

But now, there is such an Other Shore World, and such a crushing defeat in the 'War of the Gods'.

The Federation may truly be entering its final countdown.

The white-haired old man exhaled a breath of stale air and spoke in a low voice:

"With unrest in various provinces, the Other Shore World may enter a period of rapid development, given all of these factors."

He raised his head and spoke with a resounding voice:

"I propose that we fully lift the ban on the Destiny Event, including those two or three true spirits who were revived from Destiny Event and are now suppressed under the capital."

"Perhaps, we can release him now."

A commotion suddenly erupted in the parliament.

Amidst the chaos,

The deputy speaker tapped the gavel lightly and asked:

"Isn't that too risky?"

The white-haired old man, the Grand Director of the War Department, shook his head:

"Victory can only be achieved through peril."

"I do not believe that the World-Honored Tathagata had no enemies in the old world—given His methods of forcibly converting sentient beings and even bringing gods to their faith, I firmly believe that even in the old world, He was hated by many powerful beings."

"After all, no one wants themselves or their disciples and descendants to be converted into the Buddhist Sect for no reason."

The lawmakers were discussing it animatedly.

After a long while.

The deputy speaker struck the gavel again and began in a low voice:

"Vote."

The process was completed quickly, and He sat at the head of the table, reading in a low voice:

"The Proposal of the War Department"

"Pass."

The commotion in the parliament erupted again, but the white-haired old man showed no joy; he merely sighed softly.

Victory can only be achieved through perilous situations.

This proposal might turn the tide for the Federation, but it could also hasten Federation demise.

Fully lift the ban on the Destiny Event and actively communicate with the true spirits of the past world.

The white-haired old man closed his eyes, remained silent for a long time, and then said in a low voice:

"Since the bill has been passed..."

"Then let's proceed directly with the procedure and release those three suppressed true spirits. Hopefully, among them are those who are enemies of the Buddhist Sect."

As they spoke,

The white-haired old man gently pushed the file in front of him forward, pointed at it, and three names appeared in the air, appearing before all the councilors.

One of them is [Tai Bai Jin Xing].

The second is the [Five-Colored Peacock].

The third is [the Great God of the Three Altars].

The white-haired old man spoke in a deep voice:

"According to the Heavenly Calculation Department, Tai Bai Jin Xing is the god of war and killing, and his temperament should be the most violent."

The Five-Colored Peacock is suspected to have some connection with the Buddhist Sect.

As for these Great God of the Three Altars

The white-haired old man let out a soft breath, and a smile finally appeared on his face:

"Of the three true spirits, only the Great God of the Three Altars is the most reliable. In our initial contact, this god was an innocent child."

"According to the calculations of the Heavenly Calculation Department, this god punishes evil and promotes good, is of pure nature, and has little connection with the Buddhist Sect —I propose that we first release this true spirit and create a true form for him."

The councilors were discussing amongst themselves again, while a newly elected councilor sat quietly in a corner, subtly relaying what he had seen and heard back to the councilors.

The deputy speaker made the final decision:

"Let's Great God of the Three Altars. He takes the form of a child and has a pure and kind heart, so he should be the easiest to control. I just hope that this true spirit has a grudge against the World-Honored Tathagata, Tathagata!"

All the councilors agreed.

"What the heck??"

In the divine realm, Zhang Fusheng listened to the words relayed by the True Lord Scarlet Ox in the scroll and fell silent.

The Great God of the Three Altars is none other than Nezha.

Is this thing truly kind-hearted and innocent?

The voice of True Lord Scarlet Ox, tinged with worry, rang out:

"You humans are masters of intrigue and manipulating people's hearts. An innocent and naive creature from the old world would likely be easily controlled by the Federation."

"Fortunately, this person shouldn't have been considered particularly powerful in the old world, right?"

Zhang Fusheng paused for a moment, somewhat unsure. He wasn't sure Nezha held the [Heavenly Venerate Fruit Position] or not.

The Daluo Fruit Position enlightenment.

Both seem very likely.

Letting out a sigh, Zhang Fusheng said with a sense of melancholy:

"It's alright. I just didn't expect the Federation to have mastered these three True Spirits—I'm afraid there are even more old friends who have secretly revived and returned."

After a moment's pause, a faint smile appeared on his face as he muttered to himself:

"However, the Federation is likely to suffer."

"Um?"

True Lord Scarlet Ox spoke in surprise:

"Are these Great God of the Three Altars not quite right?"

Zhang Fusheng rubbed his chin:

Something seems off.

There are so many mythological stories, and each version of Nezha is slightly different. He doesn't know which version of Nezha is the most fitting.

However, one thing is certain.

Regardless of the version, Nezha is not someone to be trifled with.

Tsk.

"This has bought me some more time to develop," Zhang Fusheng murmured to himself, disconnecting from the Old Niu.

He shook his head, sat upright above the Heavenly Realm Sea of Clouds, and tried to unite his thoughts with the true spirit in the vast void.

The next instant.

Everything before my eyes is changing, and before I know it, I am already in the vast void.

"Is this my True Spirit Body?"

Zhang Fusheng gained insight into himself; the Primordial Auspicious Cloud swirled around him, revealing the form of the Fuli Dharma Body.

Behind him was a radiance of Thirty-six colored light, and all around him floated a dark and ethereal universe, accompanied by countless threads of cause and effect.

After silently sensing for a moment, I realized that the True Spirit Body was no different from my true self, and in some ways, even more powerful.

What the physical body possesses, the True Spirit Body;

The physical body may not exist, but the True Spirit Body does.

Zhang Fusheng looked around; to his left and right lay layers of different Different Dimension and the vast real Great Universe.

Below, there is a vast, boundless universe and world.

The small world may only span tens of thousands of miles, but what about the large one?

It is a complete universe, encompassing boundless galaxies.

"Undoubtedly, the smaller the world or the smaller the universe, the easier it is to control, but seeking ease is not a good thing."

Zhang Fusheng muttered to himself, his gaze sweeping around, sensing the various worlds. Occasionally, he could see other True Spirit Body traveling through the Myriad Worlds.

After a while,

He finally made a decision and chose a Great Universe that was among the largest.

"Within this universe, there are Venerable-level auras, and more than one."

"If I could become Great Spirit in this world, transforming the souls of all living beings within it into a wisp of my Soul Spirit, a wisp of my will?"

Zhang Fusheng became somewhat excited, foreseeing that he would soon experience an incredible leap forward!

Tai Bai Jin Xing, the Five-Colored Peacock, and the Great God of the Three Altars.

The message from Old Niu instilled a strong sense of crisis in Zhang Fusheng; these beings had all returned.

Are other, even more powerful beings far behind?

"We need to speed things up."

Zhang Fusheng murmured, taking one step to the edge of this magnificent universe, and then forcibly squeezing in with another!

His divine thoughts swept across the entire Great Universe in an instant.

"There are several auras at the Dao Venerate level, one of which is already approaching the level of a Great Power."

Zhang Fusheng muttered to himself, not rashly attempting to wipe out the entire universe.

This universe has existed for countless years, and the powerful beings within it may possess some strange and unpredictable methods.

There are quite a few venerable beings and powerful beings who have suffered calamities throughout the Myriad Worlds.

Even the Myriad Gods Cult was unexpectedly suppressed by the Five Finger Mountain during an exploration of the Myriad Worlds.

Within the Myriad Worlds, many things from the old world may have been lost—treasures, regions, mountains, and rivers.

Even, the true spirit.

"Um?"

Zhang Fusheng suddenly let out a soft exclamation.

His thoughts clearly swept across a corner of the galaxy in this universe and spotted a familiar planet.

Is this... Earth?

No, that's not right.

It is Earth, yet not entirely Earth; it is not located in the 'Milky Way galaxy', and it has no myths, stories, or legends, but everything else is quite similar.

Race, country, history

The only thing missing is mythology and legend.

It's more like a parallel world.

Most importantly...

As Zhang Fusheng scanned and discerned the planet, his heart would involuntarily pound, as if his intuition were giving him a warning!

"This is interesting. Am I so lucky to have encountered something from an ancient world lost in the Myriad Worlds?"

Zhang Fusheng squinted. What could it be?

A certain Supreme Treasure?

A famous mountain or river from a bygone era?

Or is it a contingency plan, a true spirit, from some ancient being?

It just so happens to be 'Earth'.

With a thought, Zhang Fusheng transformed into a ray of light and vanished into that blue planet, residing in a remote corner of the universe.

Earth, Jiuzhou.

"Only gods can fight against gods."

On Dragon Tiger Mountain, the Old Heavenly Master coughed softly and spoke wearily:

"The four Outer God are constantly eroding and spying on us. Once the barrier disappears, they will truly enter Earth, and then..."

All the disciples remained silent. Zhang Xuelan spoke softly:

"Master, just how powerful are the Outer God?"

The Old Heavenly Master's expression grew increasingly solemn:

"The four Outer God: one tyrannical, one treacherous, one in charge of plagues, and one in charge of lust and sin."

He sighed:

"These four Outer God are capable of destroying an entire galaxy with a mere thought, and an entire star system can be overturned with a single thought!"

Countless disciples exchanged bewildered glances, and Zhang Xuelan's lips trembled slightly:

"Why would such a terrifying being set its sights on our tiny planet?"

She couldn't understand it at all; compared to the vast universe, this planet seemed so insignificant.

After a moment of silence, the Old Heavenly Master spoke in a low voice:

"Very well, the final moment has arrived."

His gaze pierced through the Heavenly Master Hall, gazing upon the magnificent landscape, and he sighed softly.

Everything will be fleeting.

After pausing for a moment, the Old Heavenly Master continued:

"According to Heavenly Numbers and ancient prophecies, all causes and all origins lie in the Great Treasury Land to the west."

Zhang Xuelan was even more confused:

"The Great Treasury Land?"

"That's right."

The Old Heavenly Master coughed violently:

"I must defend against the four Outer God and cannot travel the mortal realm. Xue Lan, only you can go there yourself."

His voice grew increasingly low:

According to ancient legends, in the Great Treasury Land, an emperor will eventually rise to power and fight against the four ancient and immortal Outer God.

"And it is there, in the Great Treasury Land, that the deepest secrets are buried."

Zhang Xuelan pricked up her ears and heard her master speak in a deep voice:

"The Great Treasury Land was once a tiny part of a divine pillar reaching to the heavens."

"It is said that deep beneath the earth lies the primordial body of humanity!"

Zhang Xuelan was mesmerized and murmured:

"Is the Ancestor of Humanity the future emperor who can contend with the Four Outer God?"

"I don't know, I don't know."

The Old Heavenly Master shook his head:

"But the time has come, and I want you to personally travel to the Great Treasury Land. Go, go."

Zhang Xuelan exhaled, rose, bowed, and silently left.

All the disciples quietly took their leave.

The Heavenly Master Hall was empty again. The Old Heavenly Master sat alone, his expression suddenly changing as he looked up.

Something has come in.
