Volcanoes erupted, typhoons swept in, tsunamis struck...

The entire island of Japan was shaking, already precariously situated between two major tectonic plates, the Land of Chuyun was on the brink, ready to submerge at any moment.

If the battle of the Golden Martial Saint might cause heavy casualties to Chuyun, then the struggle between Martial Gods might well wipe Chuyun off the map of Blue Star entirely.

The mighty power of the Gods was now blatantly displayed before everyone, even the live broadcast of the competition left all of Blue Star shocked and terrified.

Originally intended for the World Martial Dao Championship, all media resources were now focused on this battle among Gods.

In an instant, ominous clouds gathered in the sky, and the earth seemed to plunge into eternal night, dim and sunless.

Amidst the dirge-like sounds emitted by Blue Star's Heavenly Dao Will's instinct for survival, the divine spirits of the Famine Knight and the War Knight descended onto two pre-prepared bodies.

Simply by the unconscious emanation of their life energy fields, they could distort everything around them continuously, leaving traces that would endure permanently.

Ye Qingzhou stood behind Chiyou, his gaze solemn as he looked at the place where the two Knights stood: "It turns out, of the three anomalies I saw after arriving in Japan, two were them... so what about the remaining anomaly?"

The Land of Chuyun was currently under the control of three forces. The Famine Knight and the War Knight had been scheming here for many years, permeating every aspect of this nation.

In comparison, the Three Noble Sons, these three exiles, have always huddled inside the Chuyun Grotto Heaven, never daring to show themselves. Therefore, the remaining force must be someone else.

At this moment, the situation on the battlefield changed once more.

"Chiyou, our reinforcements have arrived, you've lost!"

Susanoo wielded the Celestial Feather Slash, his gaze filled with hatred, mingled with a sense of triumph. As long as he destroyed Niu Taijie's body, making it impossible for Chiyou's power to project through bloodlines remotely, Ye Qingzhou would be doomed.

That he himself had failed to kill a mere mortal gnawed at Susanoo, as one who was a God.

Today, no matter what, he would see Ye Qingzhou fall beneath his sword!

"Reinforcements? Did you think I didn't have mine?"

As Chiyou's voice fell, the last hidden force behind the scenes in Japan also began to step onto the stage of the divine war.

Just as the Famine Knight and the War Knight intended to converge with the Three Noble Sons, three figures suddenly appeared, blocking their path.

"Heavenly Queen Hera, Midgard Serpent Jörmungandr, and you, Snake Mother Yinji..."

The Famine Knight clutched a bizarre great sword brimming with mouths and sharp teeth, his sinister eyes piercing through an animal-like visor, fixed on the three phases.

Envious Aspect, Heavenly Queen Hera.

Aspect of Gluttony, Midgard Serpent Jörmungandr.

Lustful Aspect, Snake Mother Yinji Jiye Bayun.

The Eight-Headed Great Serpent stood behind Snake Mother, hissing and writhing, having long been worshiped in the Calamity God Palace by the Chuyun people. It inherently sensed the overwhelming malice of the Famine Knight and the War Knight who intended to destroy Chuyun.

"Do you intend to betray the Divine Dynasty?"

The Famine Knight sent out an angry divine thought, while the 'Heaven-Devouring Greatsword' in his grasp unleashed a powerful pressure of divine power.

Though both were Emperor-level powerhouses, there were still differences in combat strength between them.

Even if it was three against two, Snake Mother Yinji and the others were not enough to defeat the two Apocalypse Knights, as the Four Knights of the Apocalypse were originally one of the fallback plans left by the Emperor Slayer, with means specifically aimed at the Seven Phases.

Snake Mother Yinji extended her flawless jade hand from her wide sleeves, gently caressing one of the heads of the Eight-Headed Great Serpent as she coyly smiled at the two Knights: "We only wish to survive. We have no intention of betraying the Emperor Slayer, nor the Divine Dynasty."

"I see..."

The War Knight's fully mechanized body flickered with a quick series of bluish lights. He then used the deduction function of the Net of All Causes to analyze Snake Mother Yinji's objective: "It seems you have already made contact with those Emperor Monarchs within the Divine Dynasty who oppose the Emperor Slayer."

The Void Divine Dynasty was never a monolith, and the Emperor Slayer was the last powerhouse within the Dynasty to ascend to the Emperor Realm and among the most formidable in battle among the Various Emperors.

If allowed to continue growing, the Emperor Slayer's absorption of Blue Star's Dao Fruit meant his power would not only surpass all Emperors but even become the 'one and only', the 'supreme'.

This was something the Various Emperors of the Divine Dynasty could not accept, hence the covert attempts to trip up the Emperor Slayer and block his path to ascension.

The Divine Dynasty needed to maintain the current balance of coexisting Emperors, not one dominant force with many subordinates, the Emperor Slayer reigning supreme.

The Seven Phases, in their quest for survival, were naturally happy to collaborate with those Emperor Monarchs within the Void Divine Dynasty who opposed the Emperor Slayer, willing to secretly 'collude' with the Divine Strategy Army of the Dongji Kingdom, laying down a Celestial Net to target the Famine Knight and the War Knight.

The War Knight lifted his gaze, his sight penetrating the sky, falling upon the invisible 'barrier' sealing and isolating Japan: "A simplified version of the Absolute Earth and Heaven, it seems you hope to contain the destruction of the divine war within this tiny island."

"We are, after all, Gods born on Blue Star, naturally we do not wish for our mother planet to suffer destruction, especially since it will be an important asset for the Various Emperors of the Divine Dynasty in the future. Maintaining its integrity is essential."

Snake Mother Yinji stepped on the earth, beginning to call upon the core power of Blue Star.
