In the Great Chang Empire, the relationship between the Union, the royal family, and the various Churches was extremely complicated.
For example, the Son of Heaven was truly blessed by the heavens. As the son of the Celestial Emperor, he was, in theory, protected by the entire Divine Dao. As the emperor, he could even rule over all the gods of mountains and rivers, ghosts, and spirits below level six. He had unbelievable authority.
But in fact, due to the existence of true gods, they could manifest their divinity. With the monstrous existence of the Churches, the divine authority had always been transcendent. It even had the tendency to override the imperial authority.
There was no other way. Even though the upper echelons knew that harmony and unity was the trend, it was impossible for the middle and lower echelons to sacrifice their own interests for the greater good.
It was the same for the Churches and the imperial authority.
Therefore, in order to resist the Churches, the imperial family had no choice but to support a large number of eccentric people. The Union's emergence was a result of this.
The land immortals were fearless even if a true god descended. They effectively restrained the Churches' power, allowing the imperial authority to be extended.
However, the large and small sects and academies that made up the Union each had their own interests. They were like tigers sitting on the ground where the sects were located. Although it couldn't be said that all of them did all kinds of evil and bullied people, their hands and feet were not clean.
The three kept each other in check, forming a novel ruling system in the Great Chang Empire.
And this time, the response to the Desolate Beast Puppet was led by the Churches, with the imperial government and military as fighters, and the sects as support.
When the military saw that the sects were the last to act, they left after taking the benefits and spoils of war. Only they had suffered heavy casualties. Just the compensation alone was an astronomical figure. They also had to bear the burden of administering the plague and pacifying the people. Even though the Churches could still provide assistance, they could not help but feel like they had been scammed.
"General, be careful with your words!"
Seeing General Han's displeased expression and grumbling softly, a trusted aide immediately stepped forward. "We still have many Sorcerers and priests in the army. Do not disappoint them!"
"I understand …"
General Han looked up and suddenly sighed.
In such a world, to unify the imperial authority and rule over the world? That was just wishful thinking.
However, just as General Han sighed, he looked at the dark red spots of light in the sky. His brows furrowed even deeper.
These strange astronomical phenomena seemed to have become a little more frequent? Especially the dark red light that fused with the original purple glow of the moon. It gave him a strong sense of unease.
"Report!"
Just at this moment, a rider galloped over. It was a Black Dragon Horse. Even such a fine horse was foaming at the mouth. After the rider stopped, it fell dead on the ground.
"General, an urgent request from 800 miles away!"
The messenger was travel-worn, but he managed to pull himself together. He knelt on one knee and reported, "Another wild beast has appeared in Lidong City. It has been confirmed to be a 'Hou'. It has already caused a pandemic in the entire city. The Whitecaps County is in a state of emergency. A ferocious man-eating bird has appeared in the area, and it is suspected to be an ancient man-eating peacock. The Winter Wood River has frozen for no reason, and the people on both sides of the river are panicking … General, please quickly lead the troops to suppress it!"
"This … this …"
Even though General Han had the bearing of a great general and was able to remain calm in the face of danger, he could not help but gasp when he saw so many dire beasts appearing in his own defensive zone. "So many dire beasts?"
Cold sweat was already rolling down his forehead.
He naturally knew that the Great Chang empire had retracted its defensive line. It had already abandoned Fufeng County and a series of borders and ports. And now, with so many desolate beasts invading the mainland, there was no way to suppress them. It was a sign of the end of the world!
"Do I really have to follow the worst-case scenario and retreat to the central plains, allowing the desolate beasts to wreak havoc and kill my citizens?"
General Han stroked his treasured saber as a look of determination suffused his face. "Absolutely not!"
"All troops, heed my command. Follow me to quell the chaos!"
With a loud roar, he was the first to mount his horse. The entire army immediately changed directions, stirring up a massive cloud of dust under the moonlight.
But at that moment, if he looked up again, he would see dark red spots appearing on the moon that was covered in a layer of demonic purple light …
…
"The inner world's corrosion is actually this fast?"
In the Seer continent, Wu Ming immediately looked up at the dark red moon that had been transformed halfway.
Compared to usual, the moon seemed to be covered in a layer of blood, bringing with it an ominous atmosphere.
"The Moon Lord … is in danger!"
The Great Chang empire had eight supreme gods protecting it. They were Heaven, Earth, Yin, Yang, Sun, Moon, Army, and Four Seasons.
And the Moon Lord's priesthood was undoubtedly related to the moon!
Of course, it was not only her. Many of the gods of the foreign races, as long as their priesthood was connected to the moon, would be affected.
"If the sun is light, then the moon is darkness … Is it because of this that it is most easily infiltrated by the inner world?"
Wu Ming sighed.
This was a pure fusion of worlds, a competition of Great Dao. Even a level-eight existence like him could not interfere.
"Moreover, the resentment in the world is even thicker. In the future, the night will be the home field of the abominations and demonic creatures!"
Wu Ming looked at this scene and suddenly had a realization. "The most intense wave of the catastrophe has arrived!"
…
"The opportunity I have been waiting for has finally arrived!"
In the inner world, the black-robed man that the Void Mask had transformed into stood quietly in the void. There seemed to be a black eyeball inlaid on the back of his right hand. Several white masks appeared around him, each with a different expression, but the empty eye sockets were all dripping with tears of blood.
Behind him, there was Oliphus and the Dream Chrysalis with respectful expressions, as well as more abominations and evil gods that had transformed into human forms.
They could all feel the great power that lingered on the Void Mask.
That was the choice of the entire inner world, the tidal wave of resentment, representing the entire inner world's will for revenge!
"The inner world has as many demons and vengeful spirits as it wants. There is no need to feel the heartache over the loss. And those crazy abominations will not listen to our orders, nor will they cooperate. In the main world, no matter how much damage they cause, it will be our gain … But now …"
The human form of the Void Mask suddenly exploded, and a large amount of black gas overflowed. The pale mask circled around and turned into an indescribable monster. "In the opposite main world, there is no existence that can stop us!"
At this time, the resentment in the main world was boiling to the extreme. And after waiting and devouring, the power of the Void Mask had been increased to the peak of level eight. It could even be said that he had touched the threshold of level nine!
"Avenger, let's get moving!"
Accompanied by insolent laughter, many abominations and demonic creatures appeared together. Under the leadership of the Void Mask, they traversed the void and came to the outer plane, descending into a certain god system.
The gods of each god system liked to build their God Kingdom in the outer plane and connect them with each other to form an alliance of god systems.
In the outer plane, they would not be rejected by the main world, so the true gods could exert their full strength. Coupled with the increase of many God Kingdoms, it was enough to protect themselves even in the face of a powerful level eight.
But at this time, with the opening of the portal, the god system below was trembling.
The god system chosen by the Void Mask had a very strange structure. It was in the shape of a pyramid. The newer the god, the lower their strength, the closer their God Kingdom was to the bottom. Conversely, the God Kingdom of the God King was the tip of the pyramid.
"Abominations from the inner world?"
At this time, at the top of the pyramid god system, there was a flash of light, and a foreign race god with the body of a lion and the face of a human appeared. "You dare to offend the temple of the gods? This kind of behavior will be jointly punished by the gods! "
"The God King of the Sphinx God System, the Sphinx!"
A pale mask with a mocking smile appeared. "There's no need to bluff. As a divine system of the Origin World, your power is too weak. You can't even compare to the Frost Giants. Such insignificant ants should obediently die!"
"Roar!"
As soon as he finished speaking, three strange lion-headed monsters rushed out from behind the Void Mask. They looked at the Sphinx with eyes full of resentment.
"Oh, there are a few Abominations that you have abandoned. They are here to collect their debts!"
The Void Mask said with a smile.
The Sphinx, the God King of the Sphinx God System, looked at the few Abominations that had just appeared, his face full of disbelief.
Because each of these Abominations was similar to him. They had all reached the peak of the seventh level! And judging from the Divine Power, they were indeed the products of his god system. Perhaps they were even his "masterpieces."
In the Sphinx God System, the sphinx with a human's body and a human's face were considered to be extremely ugly and cursed. In fact, in the prophecy of the inherited memory, this kind of inverted and deranged offspring would be the fuse that would destroy the entire god system.
Therefore, the Sphinx God System called this kind of lion-headed Abominations. They tried their best to kill them. If they could not kill them, they would banish them into the inner world and seal them.
At this time, it was finally their turn to taste this bitter brew.
"Roar!"
Without saying much, the three Abominations took the lead and rushed into the God Kingdom. They began to devour a large number of petitioners, wantonly destroying and destroying everything in sight.
"Haha … I have finally come to the Main World. Dragon Gods, you can slowly tremble under the fierce name of Olypheus …"
The double-headed dragon Olypheus revealed his true form. A double-headed dragon that stretched across the galaxy also rushed into the god system and even swallowed a level six True God in one gulp.
Only the Void Mask quietly watched the Abominations vent their anger, as if he was waiting for something.
"There is only one Supreme God in the Sphinx God System, and that is the eternal mystery that represents deceit, nothingness, and deception!"
Suddenly, a ray of light fell, carrying with it a mysterious and vast aura unique to level eight.
"You have indeed appeared …"
Seeing this, the Void Mask sighed faintly. "You have lost most of your emotions and can only act according to the rules. How sad!"
Crack!
The Mask's eyebrows split open, and a black eyeball appeared. He let out a strange laugh. "Now, let me end you!"
