Seven days later, Myriad Heavens Divine Vessel entered the peripheral the Firmament Realm Star Domain.
The Expeditionary Army returned with a full load, an army of 50 million plus more than 6,000 System Host collected from the alliance, as well as more than 30 million Chaos Spirit Stone and the half-dismantled Planetary Annihilation Cannon parts. The entire cargo hold of the warship was packed like a granary years ago.
Nezha lay on the deck railing, looking at the Firmament Realm Star Domain border getting closer and closer in front of him, and stretched out a lot.
"I'm finally home. After hanging out for so long, I have to go back and sleep for three days."
Yang Jian stood next to him, with the medicine cloth prepared by the alchemy room still wrapped around his right arm. Most of the gray color had receded, but his fingers were still a little stiff when moving.
"That's a good idea of yours. There's still a bunch of trophies to be counted and stored when we get back, and the collected hosts also need to be settled."
"Just let Yin Jiao do that kind of thing."
"Yin Jiao has been working for seven days."
Nezha shrunk his neck and did not answer the call.
In Control Room, Gu Changqing is preparing to let the system scan the current status of the Firmament Realm.
Since I have been out for so long, I have to check if there is anything Transformation at home.
As soon as the system started scanning, the prompt tone changed.
"Ding, an abnormality has been detected in the Firmament Realm remote Star Domain."
"Be specific."
"Ding, Incense Offerings Divine Statue in the 37th to 52nd remote Star Domain in the northwest direction of the Firmament Realm, a total of sixteen Star Domain, suffered a large-scale collapse."
"Number of collapsed buildings: 74,000."
"Cause of collapse: Vow Power supply was interrupted, Divine Statue lost the energy source to maintain the structure."
Gu Changqing stopped putting down the tea bowl.
"Vow Power supply interrupted?"
"Ding, yes, the Vow Power generated by these sixteen underlying followers of Star Domain has been continuously intercepted in the past five days and failed to be transported to the Divine Statue body."
"Where did the interception go?"
"Ding, tracking."
The system was silent for two breaths.
"Ding, Vow Power flow direction tracking is completed. The interception terminal is located on a medium-sized planet Forty-First Star Domain northwest of the Firmament Realm. The planet is named Cangwu Star."
"The interception method is High-Dimensional Vow Power Interference Array, the source of the technology is unknown."
Gu Changqing tapped his fingers on the edge of the tea bowl.
Seventy-four thousand Divine Statue collapsed.
It is the incense network he has laid out in the remote star field. Each statue is connected to the wish channel of the believers at the bottom, and it is the capillary blood vessel of the entire belief system in the heavenly world.
The blood vessels were cut off.
He stood up and walked to the main console.
Tongtian has already called up the real-time picture of Star Domain.
In the picture, on the surface of sixteen remote Star Domain's Planet, the golden Divine Statue that originally stood in the center of the town was staggering, some were cracked from the middle, and some were directly broken into pieces.
The people knelt in front of the rubble, crying and shouting, not knowing what happened.
Tongtian looked at it for a few seconds, then turned around and said something.
"The technique is very professional and cannot be done by ordinary people. I have seen similar construction methods of this Vow Power interference array before Investiture of the Gods War. It is a technology only available to the high-level god Dao Body series."
"Who did it?" Nezha ran in from outside, looking like he was awake, "Who dared to touch Master's territory after eating the bear's heart?"
Before I finished speaking, Communication Array came on.
The voice of Yin Jiao rushed out from Magic Formation, twice as loud as usual.
"Master, I have something urgent to report."
"Say."
"Something happened to the Firmament Realm. Covert Sentinels, who I stayed behind, just sent back the news."
Yin Jiao's voice contained an irrepressible urgency.
"A group of people came to the remote Star Domain in the northwest. They called themselves Origin Temple. They used your banner to collect Faith everywhere. They also set up a fake Incense Offerings system and intercepted all the Vow Power of the people at the bottom."
"My flag?" Gu Changqing's tone was calm.
"Yes, they tell people everywhere that they are your direct envoys, patrolling the heavens on your behalf, selling Cultivation Technique fragments to the people, and receiving all Faith Vow Power."
Yin Jiao paused for a moment, as if speaking.
"And they have a very realistic set of Projection Technique in their hands, which can project your image, speak and act like you, and the people at the bottom can't tell the difference at all."
Control Room is quiet.
Nezha's face changed, and the cloth for cleaning the gun was twisted into a twist in his hand.
"Someone pretending to be Master?"
Tongtian also frowned.
Yang Jian walked in from outside, his right hand wrapped in medicine cloth resting on the door frame.
"Yin Jiao, that Origin Temple you are talking about, how many people are there?"
"Covert Sentinels said there were probably several hundred people, but the exact number is unclear. Their actions were very scattered. Each Star Domain only sent a dozen people to shoot and change places."
Gu Changqing didn't say anything after listening.
He walked to the window and looked at the outline of the Firmament Realm Star Domain border outside.
I went out to fight a battle and came back to find someone serving it in the backyard.
"System, the energy level of the Vow Power interception terminal on Cangwu Star."
"Ding, the energy level of the terminal core Formation is Quasi-Immortal Emperor level, but the construction method is very rough, more like a poor imitation of some high-end Formation."
"Quasi-Immortal Emperor-level Formation, parody?" Gu Changqing chewed on these words.
"Ding, yes, the design concept of Formation itself far exceeds that of Quasi-Immortal Emperor, but the actual manufacturer's strength is obviously insufficient, resulting in a large number of structural defects in Formation."
"The drawings are good, but the craftsmanship is not good." Tongtian translated next to it.
Gu Changqing turned around.
"Send the order, Myriad Heavens Divine Vessel accelerates into the Firmament Realm, and the army stays behind Main Star to rest."
"Tongtian, take Kong Xuan to appease the sixteen Star Domain people. Repair what Divine Statue needs to be repaired, and rebuild what Incense Offerings channels need to be rebuilt."
"Yang Jian, go to Cangwu Star, dismantle the interception terminal, and capture whoever you can alive."
"Yin Jiao."
Communication Array The voice of Yin Jiao immediately rose in pitch.
"The disciple is here."
"Did your Covert Sentinels find out where that group of people came from?"
"I checked, but no substantive clues were found. The identities they used were all fake. I couldn't even detect System Host's breath. It doesn't look like System Host."
"Not System Host?" Nezha interjected, "What is that thing?"
Yin Jiao was silent for a moment.
"Covert Sentinels said that they have a very strange aura about them, which does not belong to any known practice system, like some kind of older power."
Gu Changqing's fingers stopped on the window frame.
An older power.
Origin Temple.
Great Thousand Origin Realm.
He stringed these three words together in his mind, and the curvature of his mouth changed.
"Interesting."
Nezha shouted loudly from behind.
"Master, what about me, what do I do?"
"You come with me."
"Where to go?"
Gu Changqing didn't look back, and the voice came back from the door.
"Go and see what the fake me looks like."
