Rumble~

A loud explosion trembled through the entire Land of Chuyun, their sacred Divine Mountain erupted!

Thick smoke shot straight into the sky, and scorching, viscous lava gushed wildly from the cracked earth, as if Purgatory had descended. A massive amount of volcanic ash covered the sky, plunging the land into darkness.

At the same time, as the Three Noble Children descended to the mortal world, and when Amaterasu, Yuedu, and Susanoo crossed the barrier of Chuyun Grotto Heaven together, typhoons, earthquakes, and tsunamis struck simultaneously.

The gods of the Land of Chuyun are often embodiments of disaster. They are born amidst the fear and despair of all creatures and thus feed on those emotions.

"Humans, this sweet and rich despair is long overdue."

Susanoo was enveloped with the power of the ocean, greedily sniffing the negative emotions from countless mortals within the Thought Ability, deeply intoxicated.

"To be alive is wonderful."

Yuedu was also experiencing the marvelous feeling of rebirth. Ever since being slain by the Emperor Slayer, the three siblings had completely lost their corporeal godly forms, forced to survive as mere Divine Spirits, barely maintaining their existence.

But the Divine Spirits were heavily restricted. To avoid losing their anchor to the present world and forever sinking into the deepest part of the Spiritual Realm, they had to lie dormant within the Chuyun Grotto Heaven, secretly accumulating strength, awaiting the moment of revival.

This calamity was the perfect opportunity as mortals once again prayed to them out of fear and despair!

As for the amount of death and injury caused, the Three Noble Children did not care. To the gods, mortals are like ephemeral fleas, too insignificant to be concerned about.

"According to the agreement, we need to kill that mortal named Ye Qingzhou."

Amaterasu, clad in red and white hunting clothes, her long black hair waterfalling over her shoulders to her chest, continuously emitted a dazzling golden Holy Light, making it impossible to look directly at her flawless beauty.

"Mere mortal insects, no more difficult to kill than ants."

Susanoo sneered, his upper body bare, standing on roaring waves, his expression arrogant and defiant, his strong and muscular right hand gripping a Divine Weapon with a notch.

This was his Lifebound Divine Weapon, the Celestial Feather Slash!

With the Divine Weapon in hand, Susanoo casually swung, cleaving out a grand sword gang stretching three hundred miles long, mighty and unstoppable like a great river.

Where the sword gang passed, the earth cracked, buildings collapsed, and the cities of Kyoto, Shizuoka, and Yamanashi were split in two, even Endless Mountain was cleaved wholly in half.

The casualties numbered in the tens of thousands along the path, while those directly affected exceeded millions!

Tens of thousands of people looked on in a daze, for the battle had far surpassed the limits of their imagination.

A casual sword swing from a god was a weight of destiny unbearable for mere mortals!

The Kyoto region, hosting over fourteen million permanent residents, now faced the very real threat of death, constantly at risk of being swept under by the aftermath of battles.

Alas, neither side in the conflict cared about the deaths of Chuyun people.

At the peak of Endless Mountain, Ye Qingzhou looked at the sword mark passing under his right foot, breaking out in a cold sweat: "That was close..."

The once-solid ground had turned into a cliff about four thousand meters high, cutting the entire Endless Mountain in half as if slicing a cake.

The unfortunate Baekje Arrow Saint, Li Zaijun, unable to dodge in time, perished without a groan, vanishing entirely into the world.

Ye Qingzhou secretly rejoiced, for without the Heaven's Will warning to avoid beforehand, he would likely have followed in Li Zaijun's footsteps, died with no trace left behind.

"Our gods have descended, victory is ours!"

Guh Xinyou recognized the power of the Celestial Feather Slash, signaling the successful revival and return to the mortal realm of his revered god, Susanoo.

Abe Keiming and Fubu Qianjun also sensed the joyous emotion from their Divine Artifacts, immediately understanding that Amaterasu and Yuedu had successfully returned, and they too were elated.

"Ye Qingzhou, surrender yourself. In the face of our gods' great power, you are but an ant, powerless to defy the Celestial Destiny no matter how you struggle."

Just as the three finished speaking, a figure wielding a sword descended from the heavens, his body robust and massive, hair abundant and thick, his appearance fierce and domineering.

Simply standing there, he exuded the overwhelming power of the rushing waves of a great ocean.

Susanoo!

One of the Three Noble Children of Chuyun, born of human fear and despair in ancient times, he was a manifestation of the Celestial Destiny of the Land of Chuyun.

Yet sadly, Susanoo had evidently betrayed his home star, becoming a lackey of the Void Divine Dynasty.

This operation was also in collusion with the Famine Knight and War Knight under the Emperor Slayer, using Chuyun as the chessboard, sacrificing its 1.25 billion population to summon the Four Knights of the Apocalypse.

The killing of Ye Qingzhou was an agreement with the Celestial Sword Bureau of the Western Pole Kingdom.

In the plan, the Three Noble Children of Chuyun agreed with the Famine Knight and War Knight to gather the power of five gods, invade the Dongji Kingdom, and destroy the core of the Array that defends the heavens, allowing the Celestial Gate to open.

Only then could the power of the Void Divine Dynasty once again radiate unimpeded across the vast 'pasture' of Blue Star, securing the ultimate Dao Fruit in their possession.

"For a mortal to perceive danger and evade, escaping my certain-death sword, you should be proud."

Susanoo raised the Celestial Feather Slash high, his divine eyes firmly locked on Ye Qingzhou, preparing to unleash another lethal strike.
