Beyond the Timescape

The war still raged in the Fourth Star Ring.

At the moment, a relatively small-scale battle had broken out in one of the large universes there. On the cultivator side was the Spiritheaven Legion from the Fifth Star Ring’s western theater, who were responsible for establishing order in this place, the Manythousands Universe.

They were fighting some Godfolk who were native to the Manythousands Universe. In the past, those gods had been very powerful and influential, with more than ten True Gods. But the main forces from the Fifth Star Ring had killed almost all of those True Gods, thus throwing the rest of the gods into chaos. There were now only a few lingering resistance fighters who had somehow escaped in the chaos.

But the Spiritheaven Legion had tracked them down, and were now attempting to wipe them out. Unfortunately... though the Fifth Star Ring had the upper hand in the war, that didn’t mean that they won every single battle. Unexpected things still happened. That said, those unexpected events usually happened on a small scale, so the overall war wasn’t affected.

Right now, an unexpected situation had developed in this cleanup effort. These Godfolk actually had two True Gods hidden within thēir ranks! Unfortunately, the Spiritheaven Legion only had a single Summer Immortal, and thus, the presence of two True Gods put them in a bad position. Both sides were suffering from heavy casualties.

Of the roughly 100,000 cultivators that made up the army, most were injured in some way. The Summer Immortal leader was doing her best against the two True Gods, but was reaching the limits of exhaustion.

What was worse, the gods had sealed the area with special warding spells that prevented any shock waves from escaping the battlefield. Similarly, divine will was blocked off. As a result, the cultivators couldn’t send distress messages. If the gods won, it wouldn’t change the war situation overall. Eventually, other cultivator forces would arrive and wipe them out.

But the Spiritheaven Legion... were fighting for their lives.

I’m not going to make it out of this... thought the Summer Immortal. She wore a suit of dao armor, and was very pretty. At the same time, she was clearly a valiant, formidable, and accomplished killer. She was not from the older generation of Summer Immortals, but rather, had achieved her breakthrough only about a hundred years in the past. Her dao armor was in tatters, and her face was pale. Her injuries were quite serious, and she was completely pinned down by the two True Gods.

The two True Gods were extremely gruish.
