National Guardian's Gone and We're Done

"Should we make a move?" someone asked softly.

"We can’t! Chu He’s strength is beyond imagination, far exceeding our previous estimates," another person responded.

"It’s not just that he exceeds our estimates; it’s that Chu He has never revealed his true strength.

Every time he acts, his power seems to grow even stronger, as if without limit.

There’s something truly strange about Chu He’s power.

If we act rashly now, it will only mean leaving our lives here.

Our Blood Race’s plan is not yet complete. Only when the plan is fully realized...

...will the Blood Race be able to stand firm at the pinnacle of this world, regardless of future outbreaks of Evil Spirits and other races, or the full-scale rise of humanity."

The last one to speak was the one in a tuxedo, half his face obscured by a top hat,

clutching an elegant, antique cane.

The other Blood Race members nodded in agreement. There was no rush to kill Chu He right now.

Then, their figures silently vanished into thin air.

They came and went without a trace, attracting no one’s attention.

...

This battle sent shockwaves through every empire on Blue Star.

Be it the profound power revealed by the White Elephant Empire or the demonstration of Chu He’s personal strength,

many empires were now becoming more cautious. They would have to carefully re-evaluate the other empires.

Chu He’s solitary battle against the White Elephant Empire would likely usher in a brief period of peace across Blue Star.

"Ding! The ’Display Your Might’ mission has been completed to Perfection. Reward: Void Scripture!"

"Void Scripture: Its Great Dao is the Void itself, yet its applications are endless.

The Great Dao of the Void can wear down the edge of all things, resolve the conflicts of all things, and harmonize the brilliance of all things.

It can also merge with the dust of all things, while itself remaining eternally in a state of void, existing forever..."

An endless stream of profound and unfathomable information flooded into Chu He’s mind like a tidal wave.

Chu He’s figure slowly distorted, then merged into the air, becoming formless and colorless.

At that moment, he could deeply feel the Supreme Divinity within his body being pushed to its absolute limit.

It was as if the Supreme Divinity existed solely to complement the Void Scripture.

After obtaining the Supreme Divinity, Chu He had also received some information from it.

This Supreme Divinity could be considered an upgraded version of divinity, and it was unique.

There were no counterparts of it in different parallel universes; it was a singular existence shared across the multiverse.

’If I can master using the Void Scripture in tandem with the Supreme Divinity, my combat abilities will definitely reach a whole new level.’

Chu He muttered to himself in excitement.

「In the White Elephant Empire.」

"Hello, everyone. I am an attendant to the Deities of the White Elephant Empire. You can call me Ah Nu."

A slightly stooped old man, holding a broom, walked slowly ahead, occasionally turning back to flash a creepy smile.

Before him stood a massive and magnificent Divine Hall, resplendent in gold.

This Divine Hall, built in the style of the White Elephant Empire, was situated within a lush and verdant garden,

surrounded by meticulously trimmed trees and vibrant, colorful flowers.

The main body of the Divine Hall stood tall, constructed from alternating red and white stone.

Its layout resembled a typical pyramid, symbolizing Sumeru Mountain, the cosmic peak,

and the stairway to the abode of the Divine Spirits.

Upon entering the Divine Hall’s grounds, the first thing that caught the eye was its towering and magnificent gate,

which seemed like a portal to another world, full of mystery and sanctity.

The gate was carved with extremely intricate and detailed patterns.

Many deities and spiritual beasts were intertwined in the carvings, among them the majestic Elephant-headed God Ganesha, his broad trunk gently curling around a sacred lotus flower.

There was also a Garuda, with wings spread as if about to take flight, viciously tearing at a Demon with its razor-sharp beak, faithfully guarding this sacred place.

These patterns primarily used hues of gold, red, and deep blue.

Under the sunlight, they appeared all the more dazzling, causing visitors to involuntarily slow their pace, a sense of awe welling up in their hearts.

Stepping inside, three statues of Deities were enshrined in the very center of the main hall.

"The one on the far left is Shiva, one of the Trimurti of the White Elephant Empire.

He is a deity who symbolizes prosperity and good fortune, but also destruction. He is a god who can bring the dead back to life and is generally regarded as the destroyer."

The old man explained slowly.

This statue of Shiva was trampling a demon, his body posed in a graceful S-curve.

Flames radiated outward from his body, and although the posture was exquisite and magnificent,

Shiva’s expression was exceptionally stern.

"This dance is the legendary Tandava Dance, which is said to be able to return the entire universe to nothingness.

Shiva also has a terrifying aspect; he is a complex and multifaceted great god,

from whom countless myths and legends have been born.

When Shiva becomes enraged, his third eye on his forehead will spew forth crimson fire to burn everything to ashes."

"The one on the far right is Vishnu, also one of the Trimurti.

However, these Deities have not yet fully awakened. Otherwise, how could they be missing their arms?

In the central position is Brahma, the creator among the Trimurti. Brahma is the creator of the world.

Buddhism absorbed him as a Dharma protector, in the role of a prayer god.

In the mythology of the White Elephant Empire’s faith, he was formally named Brahma,

and is directly linked to Brahman, the supreme will of the universe.

It is generally believed that everything in the universe comes from Brahma, and upon destruction, everything returns to Brahma.

Brahma is the personification of the universe’s supreme will. In the mythology of the White Elephant Empire’s faith, he is seen as the creator of the universe, and is also known as the Lord of Worlds."

As he spoke of this deity, the old man Ah Nu’s face was filled with endless reverence and adoration. "The shame Chu He brought upon the Deities of our White Elephant Empire... once the three Deities fully awaken,

they will unleash all their fury upon the Great Xia Empire and Chu He.

At that time, all the mockery will vanish like smoke. The world has only to wait patiently."

The statue in the very center had reddish skin,

four heads, and four arms, and was seated on a swan, looking incomparably majestic and domineering.

...

「In the Five Europe Empire.」

A large crowd of reporters had gathered here.

The Five Europe Empire was famous for its beautiful scenery.

Before the invasion of the Evil Spirits, this place had been five separate empires.

To fight back against the Evil Spirits, these five empires undertook an unprecedented great merger,

ultimately forming the current Five Europe Empire, which also possessed formidable comprehensive strength.

"Today, standing beneath the sky, you see this great tree that transcends time and connects the Nine Realms.

We call this tree the World Tree, Yggdrasil.

It is not only the center of the universe, but also the origin and final destination of all living things. Every leaf carries the secrets of the stars, and every branch connects to a different world..."

A host spoke eloquently. The trunk of the World Tree was indescribably thick,

as if it were a giant stone condensed from ancient eons, or perhaps the spine of a great dragon sleeping in the deep sea.

Its surface was covered in moss and vines.

These green lifeforms had thrived in symbiosis with the trunk over the long river of time, draping its massive body in a vibrant green coat.

On the trunk, cracks of varying depths were like the etchings of history.

Sunlight filtered through the dense foliage, dappling these fissures as if the light of time itself were gently caressing the splendors and vicissitudes of the past.

"We, the Five Europe Empire, also have our own Deities now."

The host said with a proud smile.

...

「Great Jing Empire.」

’Chu He is that strong... I can’t accept it! I really can’t accept it!

Why are Deities appearing one after another in other empires?

Don’t we, the Great Jing Empire, have any?’

As news came in one after another from all over the world, Ji Shengyue slammed her hand on her desk in frustration.
