The Golden-armored General knelt with a thud, bowing deeply in mid-air, and cried out tragically, "Holy Envoy, spare my life! I said I wouldn’t harbor them, but they forced me to; I was compelled!
Holy Envoy, all the believers in my Divine Country are living well; I have not mistreated them in the slightest! Please, Holy Envoy, spare my life, I will release all the believers in my Divine Country right now."
Bai Jin was taken aback, to think there were such Divine Beings? He immediately asked sternly, "Who are ’they’ that you mentioned?"
"Sun and Moon Lake’s Lake God, Wan Cong Forest’s Flower God, Thousand Evil Ghost Cave’s Green-haired Demon God, Green Copper Mountain’s Earth God," the Golden-armored General called out without hesitation.
"Hand over your Divine Country to me."
"Yes!" The Golden-armored General respectfully responded, and a crescent moon flew out from his body towards Bai Jin, presenting a scene of men plowing and women weaving - a veritable Outer Pure Land.
Bai Jin collected the crescent moon and said sternly, "If I find you harboring believers again, I will behead you."
The Golden-armored General nodded and then hurriedly shook his head, crying out, "Yes! Yes! I dare not, I will never dare again."
Bai Jin and two others vanished.
In Feiyu Country, a voice descended from the heavens: "Feather God~"
In the Imperial City of Feiyu Country, Infinite Divine Light blossomed, and a majestic Divine Being with golden wings fluttering behind emerged from the Divine Light, scattering specks of radiance.
All the commoners in Feiyu Country looked up to the sky and instantly knelt on the ground, their prayers echoing through the city.
A slash of Sword Qi swooped down like Heavenly Punishment.
The Feather God materialized a Long Spear in hand, thrusting it forward with a clang~ as the Divine Spear clashed with the Sword Qi, grinding each other into nonexistence.
A Blood Lotus bloomed, and immediately the Feather God vanished in the high sky, leaving clarity Between Heaven and Earth.
A Blood Lotus bloomed in a corner of the Dark Forest, levelling the Dark Forest momentarily.
A Blood Lotus bloomed on Green Copper Mountain, leveling the mountain instantly.
Bai Jin roamed the lands of the Primordial World, slaying Divine Beings one by one, seizing their Divine Countries. Such actions soon alerted many Divine Beings; some fled, while others formed alliances.
The Gods Mountain Range became a gathering place for numerous Divine Beings, led by several Divine Kings of the Daluo Golden Immortal level, whose Divine Power was as vast as the ocean, and their might as oppressive as a prison.
Bai Jin, Jingwei, and Long Ji approached from outside the mountains.
Boom~ Infinite Divine Light rose from within the mountains, with Divine Beings seated in high positions, the majesty in their eyes gazing down at Bai Jin’s trio as if a merciless Heaven was scrutinizing ants.
Bai Jin’s group immediately halted their advance.
A grand voice rang out, "Human Clan’s Saint Envoy, this matter is our fault. We are willing to return all humans; please step back, Saint Envoy!"
Bai Jin halted and looked up, speaking calmly, "To err is to face punishment."
Beside them, a Hunting God clad in beast skins shouted fiercely, "Human Clan’s Saint Envoy, do you really wish to fight us to mutual destruction?"
Bai Jin pinched her fingers, and a Blood Lotus bloomed between them, speaking languidly, "Mutual destruction? You think too highly of yourselves, Thousand-Autumn Blood."
As the Blood Lotus bloomed, Infinite Sword Energy burst forth, instantly slicing through space-time entering a separate Array Space.
All Gods were thrown into panic.
"Divine Arts Earth Destruction!"
"Divine Arts Fiery Flames Burning Heaven!"
"Divine Arts Cold Ice World!"
Various Divine Arts recklessly assailed, filling the entire Array Space with chaos in an instant.
At the center of the Array Space on a Lotus Platform, Bai Jin, Jingwei, and Long Ji stood.
Bai Jin waved a finger and said, "One Sword to Heaven!"
The Four Immortal Swords trembled slightly, releasing four bright sword lights, which cleaved the heavens and the earth, distinguishing purity from turbidity, severing yin from yang.
Pfft pfft pfft~ All deities were slain by that sword. Even divine kings at the Daluo Golden Immortal Level couldn’t withstand it. Gods who were worshiped by countless beings and held endless honor in the outside world fell like slaughtering chickens and dogs.
Bai Jin lowered his finger, and the array space dispersed, a Blood Lotus spinning in front of him.
Long Ji exclaimed excitedly, "So powerful, Master, you are so powerful! What is your cultivation level now, Master? Have you reached Quasi-Saint yet?"
Bai Jin collected the Blood Lotus and chuckled, "Reach Quasi-Saint? It’s not that simple. I am only at Daluo Peak."
Jingwei said indifferently, "Not much different from me!"
"Sister, you are also very powerful! Sister, can you defeat Master?"
Jingwei was immediately stuck. She had been no match before, and now even less so. Once Master deployed that tricky Merit Battle Method, her own strength would be instantly restrained by eighty percent, which was extremely infuriating.
Bai Jin said, "Let’s go! We’re returning to the Eastern Sea."
Long Ji asked, "Master, have all the evil gods been cleansed already?"
Bai Jin answered leisurely, "No, there are a few Innate Divine Beings that even I can’t handle. The rest should have fled in the face of a stronger power.
Deities can hide within Divine Countries or delve into the void. Even I can hardly locate them quickly and effectively."
Jingwei frowned and said, "What do we do now?"
Bai Jin disdainfully said, "Think they can escape? Impossible! The greatest reliance of the Human Clan is not myself. Although the Goddess has always been hands-off, keeping the Human Clan in captivity definitely breaches her taboos."
Bai Jin, along with Jingwei and Long Ji, traveled back to the Eastern Sea Jie Sect, then transformed into a stream of light soaring to the Thirty-Three Heavens, before the gates of Wa Emperor Heaven.
In the Chaos, Bai Jin bowed and said, "Disciple requests to see Uncle Master!"
The boundary of the world in front of him rippled, forming a gate of light resembling water waves. Bai Jin stood up and walked into the gate of light.
Inside, Qingluan stood gracefully.
Bai Jin greeted with a smile, "Junior Sister Qingluan!"
Qingluan smiled and replied, "Senior Brother, come with me!"
Bai Jin followed Qingluan towards the Nuwa Palace.
"Sister, how has the Goddess been feeling lately?"
"Her mood should be good!"
Qingluan giggled and said, "The Emperor Fu Xi has recently returned to Wa Emperor Heaven."
Bai Jin paused, Emperor Fu Xi? That man who kept calling him Master?! A question flashed in his mind, how should I greet him, as a disciple or as Uncle Master?
"Isn’t Emperor Fu Xi always stationed at Fire Cloud Cave?"
"There’s no prohibition on avatars entering or leaving, although the Three Emperors rarely use avatars to travel, to avoid being exploited by others, but coming to Wa Emperor Heaven is harmless."
Bai Jin nodded. With countless Primordial Secret Techniques, if someone really captured the avatars of the Three Emperors, the fate of the Human Clan might indeed be in great trouble.
The two walked into Nuwa Palace, within a beautifully manicured garden, where Fu Xi played the guqin and Nuwa sipped tea in a serene and natural manner.
Bai Jin entered the garden and stood quietly waiting.
As the music ended, Bai Jin quickly bowed deeply and said solemnly, "Disciple pays respects to Wa Niangniang and Uncle Master Fu Xi."
Fu Xi stood up to bow, smiling and said, "Thank you, nephew, for imparting the teachings!"
Bai Jin hastily stepped aside and said, "Uncle Master, you flatter me, I haven’t really achieved anything significant, it’s all because of your exceptional comprehension."
Fu Xi stood, smiling silently.
