In the afternoon, Mara's army had retreated from Mount Dacheng, leaving behind only the ruined Hall of Dacheng and the badly damaged Divine Realm Altar, Hall of Rites, Hall of Mental Cultivation, and Hall of Spiritual Wisdom. The gods slowly descended from the clouds. The Seven Luminaries Demon Emperor's face was ashen. "Those bastards, they even burned down the divine herb garden we planted!"
Zi Yao gently landed on the ground and said, "As long as there are seeds, we can replant the Garden of Magical Herbs. Fortunately … Mount Dacheng is still there. It's already a great gift that they didn't destroy this spiritual mountain."
Lin Muyu frowned, "Wei Chou, let's go patrol Mount Dacheng and see if there are any ambushes left by the Demon Realm. Be careful."
"Yes, my Lord!"
The two flew away.
Sun Feng and Qing Ping, on the other hand, looked a little gratified. The Eastern God Realm needed Lin Muyu, Wei Chou, and Feng Jixing, who had been through hundreds of battles and had rich experience. Their arrival was like a welcome rain after a long drought.
…
Qin Yin did a quick calculation. There were a total of 14 righteous gods and 183 useless gods on Mount Dacheng, which meant that the Eastern Divinity only had these kindling left. She couldn't help but lament that the Eastern Divinity, which used to have more than a hundred thousand troops, had fallen to such a state.
Gradually, night fell.
Ziyao and Tang Xiaoxi found some food from the surrounding mountains and sent it to Mount Dacheng by the roc. In addition, they had begun to repair the damaged houses. Even gods needed a place to live. This was inevitable.
Lin Muyu and Wei Chou didn't go back for dinner. They were still searching around Mount Dacheng.
Stepping on a cloud, Lin Muyu's spiritual sense seeped into Mount Dacheng. But all she sensed were layers of rocks that contained vast spiritual power. No matter how powerful the Demon Realm was, they couldn't penetrate every nook and cranny. Mount Dacheng was formed thousands of years ago. Its structure was already perfect. It was impossible for them to invade at will.
At this moment, Wei Chou suddenly raised the Hou Yi Bow and said, "Your Excellency, look over there. What is that?!"
Lin Muyu hurriedly turned around, only to hear a familiar sound coming from the clouds.
"Wait, don't attack first."
"Yes."
Before long, a group of armored warriors riding on Immortal Phoenixes emerged from the clouds. Each of them held a weapon in their hands as they looked up at the peerless spiritual mountain that was Mount Dacheng. At the front of the formation was an expert who was stepping on the void. He looked very familiar. It was Nangong Lie, whom they had not seen for a long time. He came from the sky, and around him was the divine power of a Mahayana Heavenly God. Obviously, he had ascended!
I haven't paid attention to the Grimoire for a long time. I didn't even know that Nangong Lie had ascended!
At this time, Nangong Lie had already seen Lin Muyu. He couldn't help but burst into laughter. He flew forward and said, "Your subordinate Nangong Lie pays his respects to Lin General. Why are you here with Wei Chou?"
Lin Muyu was overjoyed. "We should be asking you that. When did you ascend? It was so quiet!"
"Just two hours ago."
Nangong Lie's face was not without pride. He smiled and said, "Lin General, your subordinate is a Second Grade Higher Deity. I have the title of God of Earth. I control the power of earth. Since I have ascended, I don't have much to bring with me. So, I broke through the barrier and brought three thousand brothers of the Heaven Punishing Army to the Eastern Celestial Realm. I wonder if these three thousand Heaven Punishing Army will come in handy?"
"Not only will they come in handy, they are practically timely help!" Lin Muyu was overjoyed.
Although the Heaven Punishing Army had also suffered divine punishment and lost their divine power, they could still fly. Moreover, they were very brave. They were even stronger than the Crippled Gods of the Celestial Realm. Moreover, three thousand of them just happened to appear when the Celestial Realm needed manpower. If this wasn't timely help, then what was?
"Let's go. I will take you to see the Seven Luminaries Demon Emperor." Lin Muyu patted Nangong Lie's shoulder.
"Yes, let's go!"
When the group of Heaven Punishing Army saw their real master, they showed respectful expressions. After saluting, they followed Lin Muyu, Nangong Lie, and Wei Chou and flew straight to Mount Dacheng.
…
"What? Three thousand Heaven Punishing Army soldiers!? "
When the Seven Luminaries Demon Emperor heard this news, he was already grinning from ear to ear. He strode out of the Hall of Dacheng and looked at the Heaven Punishing Army soldiers standing in the square. He couldn't help but laugh. "Aiyo, they really sent a bunch of treasures. I was still worried that there was no one guarding the Celestial Realm. Now, it seems that there is no need to worry anymore."
Ziyao chuckled. "Demon Emperor, these Heaven Punishing Army soldiers are Yu's troops. Now that Nangong Lie has brought them to the Celestial Realm, are you going to reward Nangong Lie with something?"
"Of course."
The Seven Luminaries Demon Emperor pondered and said, "Nangong Lie, now that the Eastern Celestial Realm is in a mess, I don't have anything to reward you with. I'll just give you an empty title and confer you the title of General Zhan Lie. You will be in charge of the Imperial Army of the Eastern Celestial Realm. Of course, there is no Imperial Army at the moment. When it is rebuilt, you will be the general. How about it?"
"Thank you, Demon Emperor, for your reward." Nangong Lie knelt on one knee and bowed.
"Get up, there is no need to be polite."
At this time, most of the Righteous Gods and Crippled Gods had already gathered in the Hall of Great Accomplishment. Almost everyone was looking at the Seven Luminaries Demon Emperor. He coughed and said, "This time, it was thanks to Martial God Lin Muyu's timely return that our Eastern Celestial Realm was able to escape this calamity. In this battle, Yu's contributions are unparalleled. As for rewards, I really can't think of anything good to reward him with. How about we split the throne of the Eastern Celestial Realm's King of Gods in half, me and Yu will each have half. Yu Yu, what do you think?"
Lin Muyu stood below the king's step and shook her head. She said, "There is no need, Big Brother. There is no need for that. Besides, I have long been indifferent to glory, splendor, wealth and whatnot. I can even give up the title of Prince Qin in the Shattered Cauldron Realm, let alone the Eastern Celestial Realm's King of Gods who only has a dozen or so Righteous Gods under his command."
"Hmph, it is said that mothers don't despise their children for being ugly. You are really an exception. You actually despise your family for being poor. Forget it, you are a Martial God, a Supreme God. It makes no difference whether you are rewarded or not."
The Seven Luminaries Demon Emperor had a resentful look on his face. He said, "Yu, you and Feng Jixing are people who have been through hundreds of battles. How do you think the Eastern Celestial Realm should deal with the current situation?"
"Guard them first and wait for the ascended Righteous Gods to gather." Lin Muyu raised her eyebrows and continued, "In addition, send people to investigate and find out clearly where the Devil World's army is, and where Zi Yan is. After all, they only suffered some losses this time, but they have not truly suffered any serious injuries. The main force of the Devil World is still there."
"Yes, let's do that."
Zi Yao, who was at the side, said, "In this battle, Zi Yan was lightly injured by Ah-Yu, so the enchantment he condensed in the God Realm has already turned into nothingness. Now, it is very easy to find his position. My Northern Heavenly Wheel can easily find him. Don't worry, leave the investigation to me."
Qin Yin said, "Zi Yan is constantly looking for new helpers and power. The Nine Underworlds Demon Monarch is an example. In addition to the Nightmare Army that Big Brother Yu encountered, it is clear that Zi Yan will not give up easily. Naturally, Zi Yan is looking for ancient power. We cannot just sit and wait for death. In my opinion, we can also seek help."
"Oh?" Ziyao smiled and said, "Xiao Yin, did you find something?"
Qin Yin smiled and said, "Yes, when I investigated the order of the Six Realms, I found a very strong force in the Ghost Realm. This force originates from the Quiet Spring, and there is an awe-inspiring righteousness in the power. Therefore, I think that there are gods hidden in the Quiet Spring that we do not know about. We should send people to investigate. Maybe we will find something?"
Ziyao nodded, "You are the Graceful Goddess who controls the order of the Six Realms. Your senses cannot be wrong. Then, the Eastern Divine World will send some righteous gods to explore the Quiet Spring."
The Seven Luminaries Demon Emperor said, "Wait, Mount Dacheng needs to be guarded by the main force. Otherwise, it will be troublesome if Zi Yan returns. In addition, the reason why Mount Dacheng was directly attacked was because Mount Dong Ming, the outpost at the entrance of the Eastern Heaven Realm, was captured. Therefore, I plan to send a team to rebuild the defense line at Mount Dong Ming. This requires manpower, and our biggest problem now is the lack of manpower."
Sun Feng cupped his fists and said, "I am willing to go and rebuild Mount Dong Ming!"
Qing Ping also nodded, "I am also willing."
Lin Muyu said, "Wei Chou has the Hou Yi Bow, which is very effective against powerful Demon Gods. It is suitable for defense. Let Wei Chou, Xiao Xi, and Big Brother Feng guard Mount Dacheng. Demon Emperor, you, Sister Ziyao, Liu Kui, Xia Yan, and Nangong Lie will lead half of the Xingtian Heavenly Army to rebuild Mount Dong Ming. As for the rest, Xiao Yin and I will go to the Quiet Spring to look for new Divine World powers. Xiao Yin can sense the order, and I am enough to deal with danger. The two of us are the most suitable."
"With just the two of us, will it really be okay, Yu?" The Demon Emperor seemed to be a little worried.
"No problem."
Lin Muyu smiled faintly, "The Quiet Spring is located in the Ghost Realm. Demon Emperor, do you think the Ghost Emperors in the Ghost Realm are my match?"
"That's true. Then let's go. I will be at ease if you are with Xiao Yin."
The Seven Luminaries Demon Emperor waved his hand lightly, "Then don't stay idle. Carry out your tasks. The rise of the Eastern Divine World depends on us."
"Yes, Demon Emperor!" Everyone answered in unison.
… …
At night, the bright moon shone on the attic of the Hall of Great Accomplishment.
"Are we really leaving immediately?" Tang Xiaoxi sat on the railing and asked gloomily.
"Yes, there are many things waiting to be done in the Eastern Divine World. We all have to contribute."
"But I want to go with you!"
Lin Muyu approached her and held her hand, "I also want to bring you with me, but the Divine World is too short of manpower. You have the power of a Righteous God, so it is better for you to stay here. Sister Chu Yao, Brother Feng, and the others will accompany you. The Quiet Spring is not a fun place. I have been there once, and so has Xiao Yin. It is safer for us to go together."
"Then you have to come back early." Tang Xiaoxi gently leaned into his arms.
Lin Muyu caressed her hair gently, but his body suddenly froze and did not move for a long time until he turned into countless fireflies and disappeared in the air. That was the scene of a Righteous God's death. Tang Xiaoxi tried to grab him but she could not. Her heart was in so much pain that she could not speak. Tears rolled down her cheeks.
… …
"Ah …"
Suddenly waking up from the bed, Tang Xiaoxi's body was surrounded by flames, almost igniting the bedding. Her face was slightly pale, "So it was a dream. Mu, Xiao Yin, please be okay …"
