Finally, several months later, Cao Yu successfully returned to the Heavenly Realm.
Upon his return, he immediately summoned all the celestial officials to a council meeting.
After hearing about Cao Yu's experiences on this trip, the celestial officials all spoke with righteous indignation:
"Those bald-headed Pseudogod are far too arrogant, especially that guy called Tathagata!"
"After beating the small fry, the big ones come along, Your Majesty! I think we absolutely must get our revenge!"
"I second that proposal!"
"The same goes for me!"
Cao Yu listened to the suggestions of the celestial officials, but still fell into deep thought, and couldn't help but ask the system in his heart, "If war breaks out, what are our chances of winning?"
"The odds are fifty-fifty, but the opponent ascended through faith. If the host destroys the temples they built in each civilization, their combat power will be greatly reduced. At this point, the host's chances of winning can increase to over 80%."
"That makes things easier." Cao Yu snapped out of his thoughts. The celestial officials noticed his sudden seriousness and knew he was about to make an announcement.
He first looked at Xu Jiawei and the others, and said, "Brother-in-law, you, Uncle Heavenly Water, Uncle Chen, Uncle Liu and Uncle Lu will stay behind to guard the rear. I will send 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals to serve you, in order to prevent the enemy from launching a surprise attack on the rear."
The number of heavenly soldiers and generals has now expanded to over 600,000, and the Heavenly Emperor can control over a million heavenly soldiers at most. This is a special right independent of the Investiture of the Gods.
"Yes, ma'am!" Cheng Gang agreed without the slightest hesitation.
Cao Yu looked at Supreme Old Lord, also known as Electrolux, and said, " Elder Yi, you will be in charge of controlling the army of the undead to destroy the temples where they collect faith. Demolish every one you see, don't hold back!"
Elder Yi smiled and said, "I know, I'm quite good at demolishing houses."
Moreover, Cao Yu has now completely transformed the Undead Demiplane into the Underworld, and the number of undead armies within has increased several times over, reaching 900,000. As long as the Underworld is not destroyed, these undead armies are immortal and indestructible, making them perfect for raiding bases.
Then Cao Yu sent Huo Yuhao, Jing Hongchen, and more than a dozen other celestial officials to assist Elder Yi.
"As for the rest of you, come with me to conquer those bald monks."
"When the time comes, I'll handle those three bald monks —the Tathagata Buddha of the Past Buddha and the Present Buddha. As for the others, you can go all out and kill them if you can!"
At this moment Great White Gold Star said, "By the way, Your Majesty, we recently captured a group of weak gods known as the Titan God Clan. Shall we bring them up?"
" The Titan God Clan? What are they?"
"Your Majesty, I heard that their leader is collecting some resources, saying he intends to carry out a great purge of the universe's population, so I did not hesitate to order the heavenly soldiers to capture them."
Cao Yu's lips twitched involuntarily, "I never expected there to be such a madman in this universe." He said, " Tian Meng, bring their leader up here."
"Yes, sir!"
A moment later, a huge humanoid creature knelt humbly on the ground.
This is somewhat different from the Titan God Clan' appearance that Cao Yu had imagined. First of all, the panel is not purple, but blue all over.
Cao Yu toyed with the metallic glove in his hand; it already had five gemstones of different colors embedded inside, but one more was missing.
He couldn't help but ask the system, "Will collecting all of these have any impact on the Heavenly Realm?"
"No, the laws governing these gems only affect their own worlds and cannot influence the entire universe."
"Am I able to absorb the power of these gems?"
"Yes, but the benefit is minimal, making it practically useless to the host."
Cao Yu sighed, "That's a bit of a pity. I thought we could use it to deal with those bald monks."
At this moment, he grinned wickedly, "I heard you're going to carry out a major purge? Who gave you the guts!"
The leader of the Titan God Clan instead asked, "Powerful leader of the gods, what is your name?"
"I am the Weiwu Heavenly Emperor."
"My name is Thanos, and I am the current leader of the Titan God Clan. I am guided by the will of Heaven, for the universe's resources will eventually be depleted, so a great cosmic purge must be carried out ahead of schedule."
"Ha! The universe is infinite, so how can there be any talk of divine will?"
"Infinite? That's impossible!" Thanos stared at him in astonishment. How could this be?
Cao Yu sneered, "I don't care whether you believe it or not, you Immoral Dog, come here and make him my pet!"
"Yes!" The Immoral Dog gradually approached Thanos, and gradually sensed that something was wrong, so he began to struggle, but he was already restrained and unable to resist.
"Haha! Here I come! It's such a wonderful thing to have so many pets!"
In the end, Cao Yu chose a suitable necklace for Thanos and put it around his neck.
Thanos knelt prostrate at Cao Yu's left foot, leaving the right foot for those bald monks from now on!
"Ha ha!"
Thanos's henchmen were all subdued by him. In terms of professionalism in causing destruction, Thanos's henchmen were not much different, so Cao Yu took them along to conquer the Buddhas.
The year 2036 of the Wei Wu era.
Thus began the war between the Heavenly Realm and all the Buddhas and gods.
Seeing the aggressive approach of Cao Yu's group, Tathagata Buddha and his followers naturally dared not be careless and mobilized all their forces to intercept them.
Cao Yu and the celestial officials led more than 500,000 heavenly soldiers and generals, tasked with blocking the enemy's main force and diverting their attention.
Meanwhile, Elder Yi and his group, along with Thanos's army of the Thanos and hundreds of thousands of his men, chose to flank the group from a distant direction, secretly infiltrating the star system controlled by these bald monks.
The Buddhas on the other side were about to use all sorts of magical treasures upon meeting, but they did not expect Cao Yu to have such strange methods.
The moment the Buddhas took out their treasures, Cao Yue revealed a smug smile, which was then completely collected by Cao Yu's Treasure-Felling Coin!
After all, the Treasure-Felling Coin was his main Martial Soul before he became a god, and now that he has become a god, it has received a qualitative improvement.
"How dare you! Take this!"
Having lost their magical artifacts, their combat power was greatly diminished at this moment, which made it much easier for the celestial officials to deal with them.
After all, they have the magic weapon now, while these bald monks don't!
Then why don't we quickly kick a dog when it's down!
The Immoral Dog led the charge, shouting, "Charge! Turn these bald monks into the Emperor's darlings!"
"Looking for a pet! Looking for a pet!"
Cao Yu created several clones Tathagata block the three Buddhas, but the celestial forms they transformed into were indeed awe-inspiring, larger than three or four giant planets combined!
You could practically crush a planet with a single finger.
"Tch! You think only you can grow bigger? Let's have a competition then!"
Cao Yu also created a celestial Dharma image, which was even a level higher than theirs.
At this moment, the Past Buddha looked at Cao Yu and slowly said, "Benefactor, you have an affinity with my Buddhist sect. Why not take refuge in my Buddha?"
"Go to hell! You're the ones who are destined to be with my dog's necklace." Cao Yu charged forward without hesitation, wielding the True Attractiveness Holy Sword.
Present Buddha clasped his hands together and said, "May the Buddha have mercy. Since you, benefactor, remain oblivious to your wrong path, then I will act on behalf of Heaven to guide you!"
The Tathagata Buddha's expression remained unchanged. "Amitabha! The aura of slaughter is too strong; this is a seed of demonic intent, and it must be destroyed!"
