The divine palaces beyond the heavens, the Demon Domain in the abyss, and even some demonic statues hidden among humans, all fell silent at this moment because of the fall of those two beams of Buddhist light.
Even the arrogant Three-Eyed Divine General fell silent at this moment.
This time, even he might have admitted it: the humans on Earth now possess the power to kill gods.
Some might disagree, arguing that such abilities are solely due to Daoist School elixirs. But even if humans from previous eras consumed elixirs to the point of death, they still couldn't produce an Transcendent army, could they?
Transcendent armies are basically the pinnacle of military forces. With King Level as leaders and top-tier Transcendent as generals, the Transcendent soldiers represent the pinnacle of high-quality armies. Even the 100,000 heavenly soldiers of the Heavenly Palace, at their peak, were only at this level.
Humanity's current military strength may not be able to fully contend with the Heavenly Court, but given more time...
" Chen Qing, it's very dangerous. Jiangnan is even more dangerous!" the divine general said slowly.
Heavenly Palace, the divine general stood behind the Great Emperor Ziwei of the Long Household. At this moment, this woman, who held the same divine office as Jiangnan Ziyue, looked at Jiangnan with an extremely complex expression, yet also with an incomparably terrifying coldness.
"You're right." He then turned and asked, "How are the preparations at the Heavenly Soldier Pool going?"
"It's going very smoothly," the Three-Eyed Divine General whispered. "Perhaps the Magic City sensed those void monsters, and many have come to the Heavenly Court seeking refuge. Now, if we continue to replenish our blood regardless of the cost, the heavenly soldiers will be fully awakened in five months at most!"
"Okay," the other party nodded in agreement.
The Heavenly Court's military strength usually takes shape very quickly in its early stages. Various demons join the Heavenly Court and offer a certain amount of their essence and blood in the Heavenly Lake to help the Heavenly Soldiers awaken. In return, the Heavenly Court will give back some benefits, such as divine positions or resources, and its reputation has always been quite good.
The Twenty-Eight Lunar Mansions of the Heavenly Court are all demons from beyond the heavens. Although their status cannot be compared with that of the internal gods, it is still better than living a life of hardship outside. They have won over many powerful demons. Due to the oppression of the Outer Heaven Demon Statue, many powerful demons no longer hesitate and have joined the court. Their numbers are more than ten times that of the past.
This start is very favorable for the Heavenly Court.
"Let's count the quantity and confirm the quality, then..." Ziwei gestured with her finger, and everyone felt a chill run down their spines.
The Heavenly Palace is very particular about rules; is it planning to squander the reputation built up over three eras in one go?
They understood perfectly what Princess Ziwei intended to do: to kill all the demons and extract them all at once. This method was far more efficient than automatic donations. The advantage was that it could quickly build an army, but the disadvantage was also obvious: if the Heavenly Court failed to unify the world this time, there would be no next chance.
Once this reputation spreads, no more extraterrestrial demons will come to seek refuge, and the foundation upon which the Heavenly Court operates will essentially be destroyed.
"Your Highness, won't you reconsider?" The Three-Eyed Divine General frowned. Even with his impulsive nature, he felt this was too much of a gamble.
"What are you considering?" Ziwei sneered, "Are you doubting Father's intelligence?"
"Your subordinate dares not!" The Three-Eyed Divine General hurriedly bowed in fear.
"Hmph," Ziwei snorted coldly, then turned to the assembled gods again. "Don't harbor any illusions. This time, the Outer Demon are bound to descend. It's impossible to delay until the next era. If we fail this time, we'll have no choice but to shut down this world and hide in Data City!"

"Grandpa, what about the south?" Elder Liu's grandson looked at the distant disappearance of the Buddha's light, his face pale.
These days, the Buddha Kingdom is suffering more and more defeats.
First, that useless Laosan lost the Spacetime Jade, and then Grandpa personally tried but failed to snatch the Eyes of Direct Death from Chen Qing. Now, Chen Qing not only suffered no losses, but also obtained two great Innate Dao Fruit at the same time!
Even his subordinates are now in such danger, managing to kill two Buddha and wipe out their Buddhist temple's influence even when Chen Qing was not around!
Elder Liu closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time.
He hadn't experienced such a setback in a long time; everything going wrong was truly disheartening.
It's quite interesting, though.
Elder Liu opened his eyes, a smile appearing on his lips. From the moment he appointed Chen Qing, he knew that only one of him and Chen Qing could survive this time, as could the Buddha Kingdom and the human forces.
The fourth version is about to arrive irresistibly, with extraterrestrial demons eyeing it covetously. The driving force of the Buddha Kingdom lies in the human world; the stronger the human world becomes, the stronger the Buddha Kingdom will be. This time, the consciousness of the world is going all out, seemingly having no intention of cooperating with them anymore.
From that moment on, he knew that he was locked in a life-or-death struggle with the world.
Either he devours the outstanding individuals nurtured by the world's consciousness with its vast fortune, thus expanding the Buddha Kingdom into the strongest force, or he is devoured by the mortal world, leaving no survivors!
This was an inevitable consequence of the changing power structure. In fact, he had known this day would come for a long time, which is why he released Chen Qing. His reason was to try and seize the world's fortune.
I just didn't expect Chen Qing to do such an outstanding job, almost usurping my position.
"Don't worry," Elder Liu laughed. " Jiangnan is the strongest power in the human world. If even they can't handle one or two Buddha, then the fate of this world's consciousness is just so-so. The Shen Family, right?"
Elder Liu nodded slightly. He was indeed a talented person. If the other party was willing to Buddha, he wouldn't mind that the other party was a native. They would definitely benefit from him in the future. However, if the other party insisted on going his own way...
"But Grandpa, what about Jiangnan? Didn't you want to..."
"Shh," Elder Liu stopped the other person from continuing, laughing as if coaxing a grandson, "The people in heaven are watching."
The child immediately shut his mouth. Indeed, everyone, from Outer God to demons from the abyss, was watching this battle on Earth.
"Don't worry. There are tough guys in Liuzhou; that Thousand-Faced Fox won't escape."
"A formidable opponent?" The child was taken aback. The Victorious Fighting Buddha was guarding Chen Qing outside the imperial city, and the Future Buddha was in seclusion. Who else could be considered a formidable opponent? Could it be...?
"Excuse me, I am not acquainted with the master. May I ask his name?"
Outside Liuzhou, the King of Qin looked at the other person, who was a barefoot Buddha, wearing a white kasaya, with a sallow complexion and eyes that always carried a look of pity, giving people a very depressed feeling.
However, the King of Qin did not dare to test this person easily on his first attempt.
Even when the eldest princess met the other party before, she didn't dare to test them easily.
Both of them sensed that this was an important person.
They are probably among the top beings in that Buddha Kingdom.
"The Buddha's name is just a title. I have uttered countless Buddha's names in my life, but no matter what kind of Buddha I manifest as, I cannot save this world. How bitter!"
The Buddha's voice was filled with boundless compassion, while the King of Qin was taken aback.
The other person's words didn't seem like they were deliberately mocking anyone, nor did they seem to be lying. Could it be... that he really did save humanity once?
This Buddha Kingdom is a cannibalistic force; how could it possibly have a Buddha who saves people?
Which Buddha is this?
"Does the King of Qin have any plans for his trip to Liuzhou? If that Thousand-Faced Fox manages to control you, this old monk will not hesitate to attack you!"
