My version of Heavenly Dao is too old, so it's full of bugs.

Chapter 227 Half of the country lost in a single day?
The so-called Heavenly Tribulation is actually a powerful control system radiating from the laws of the Heavenly Court's Thunder Department gods to the Three Realms, with the power of the Heavenly Dao at its core and supplemented by the binding force of the Heavenly Laws.
It possesses both the ability to monitor all living beings and the authority to directly kill lawbreakers with lightning tribulations. Combining the abilities of observation and strike, it is the most powerful tool of rule in Heaven!
but now,
The lightning tribulation system activated by Li Wei and others in the Thunder Department of Tianlang City was like a "sex reassignment" surgery, fundamentally changing its nature.

The originally powerful lightning strike capability was abolished, but the function of monitoring all living beings was retained and implanted with other things!
original,

The implanted part was so tiny that it would go unnoticed unless examined closely.

However, the moment the Thunder Department system in Tianlang City resumed its external signal and connected with the Thunder Departments of Zhongzhou and Tianting, a powerful virus targeting the Tianting Heavenly Tribulation System erupted and began to spread rapidly in a circle centered on Tianlang City!

The gods in the heavens immediately knew that something terrible was about to happen.

"Quickly activate the Thunder Department firewall system and block all of Bo Xun's viruses!"

Amidst the roars of the mortals, the main control unit of the Heavenly Court's Thunder Tribulation System, which was also the supreme Dao soldier of the Thunder Department, "Precious Book of Examining Jade," suddenly lit up. Immediately afterward, countless divine powers surged into it, completely activating its divine power of laws!
[Intrusion detected into the minefield system!]

[Intrusion target identification in progress]

[Judgment complete!]

[The firewall dedicated to the Great Sage Bo Xun has been activated! Initial blocking has begun!]

[Blocking failed! The Great Sage Stealing Heaven's Dark Web launched a surprise attack on the Thunder Department system. The Dark Web's dedicated firewall has been activated. The second block has begun!]

[Interception successful! The dark web has been repelled, but it has returned with a vengeance. The third interception has begun!]

over nine days.

In a star-like wasteland, a large white cat demon dressed in a formal suit stood in the darkness with its eyes closed, having stood there for an unknown amount of time.

suddenly,

The stars in the universe began to twinkle, and then the telephone at his waist rang.

The big white cat opened its eyes and slowly answered the phone: "Okay, I understand. Don't worry!"

beep!
The phone hangs up.

The cat demon, which was only as tall as a person, suddenly expanded like a black hole, swallowing the entire planet. Then, it opened its blood-red eyes and stared intently in the direction of the Heavenly Court.

He grinned cruelly:

"The power of Heaven has begun to clash with the two Great Sages, Mara and the Dark Web. Our opportunity has arrived! All wandering gods, heed my command!"

"Please give the order, Lord!!"

"Activate the Supreme Daoist Military Strategy to Conquer Heaven and Launch a Surprise Attack on the Heavenly Court!"

"Yes!!"

With a command from the Lord of Slaughter, countless two-dimensional pixels surged wildly in the universe, quickly transforming into an old-fashioned hand-cranked arcade machine larger than a star—this was the true form of the Supreme Dao Soldier, Slaughtering Heaven Soul Wanderer!

The Lord of Slaughter adjusted his position, stood in front of the game machine, and then inserted a coin issued by the Heavenly Court.

Drop drop!
The game starts.

The master slammed down his cat paw, pressing buttons while simultaneously shaking the controller wildly!
Thus, a hidden force silently approached the Heavenly Court, catching them completely off guard!
[WARNING!! WARNING!! A third party has launched a surprise attack on the Thunder Department system. Third-party verification complete! The Heaven-Slaying Alliance is attacking the Thunder Department's firewall. The firewall has been breached!]

[Third attempt to stop them failed!]

Please enable other system firewalls to participate in the interception!

The combined invasion of the two Great Sages and the Heaven-Slaying Alliance has exceeded the limits of the Treasure Book of Qiong, this supreme Dao weapon, so it has no choice but to seek help from other supreme Dao weapons of the Heavenly Court.

Strangely, several of these Taoist soldiers were undergoing maintenance today and couldn't be started at all.
The remaining Dao soldiers, though they recovered in time and joined the defense,
But the dark web and Mara are not fighting alone!
Boom!
A tremendous tremor suddenly came from the direction of the South Heavenly Gate of the Heavenly Court!
The three top-tier experts, Tongtian Dasheng, Xingtian Dasheng, and Juetian Dasheng, joined forces to activate the loopholes in the Heavenly Dao that they had mastered in front of the South Heavenly Gate.

[Hahaha! Fellow Heavenly Courts, the last battle wasn't quite satisfying. How about we have some more fun this time?]

If the Great Sage were to invade the Heavenly Court, the consequences would be far more terrifying than if the Thunder Department's tribulation system were hacked.

As a result, the supreme Dao soldiers who were preparing to participate in the defense, as well as the true gods who were preparing to block the Heart Tribulation, were all attracted and had to gather in front of the South Heavenly Gate to confront the Great Sages.

The timing of the Great Sages' appearance was absolutely perfect, coinciding just as the Heavenly Gods were about to provide support to the Thunder Department.

It was only a momentary delay.

The power of the Supreme Daoist Treasure Book, Kao Qiong Shu, reached its limit, and the outer defense of the Heavenly Court's Thunder Department, which had been stable for countless millennia, was finally completely breached!
[The outer firewall of the Thunder Department has failed!] [The Great Sage Bo Xun has successfully connected, the Great Sage Stealing Heaven has successfully connected to the dark web, and the Soul Traveler of Heaven has successfully connected. Critical system data is beginning to be lost, and some system data has been rewritten!]

[The conditions for mandatory quarantine have been met; we are now beginning to abandon all intruded areas!]

The precious book, originally shaped like a jade box, suddenly turned crimson in an instant!
If a person is bitten by a poisonous snake, they will cut off their own arm as if they were a hero. If the Heavenly Dao System is invaded by the Great Sage, then naturally only a cruel sacrifice can be made!

In the crimson light of the Precious Book of Qiong, the entire Central Plains was stained blood red.

Then, with Tianlang City as the core, the Thunder Tribulation System of all 72 cities on the east coast of Zhongzhou was forcibly isolated and disconnected from the network. All the physical addresses of the Thunder Department implanted in these cities were also removed from the Heavenly Dao directory.

This means that the Heavenly Court withdrew its most important tool for maintaining stability, the Thunder Tribulation System, from these 72 cities, handing it over to the Great Sage Demon King!
But such sacrifices are necessary!

The moment the forced isolation was completed, the Thunder Tribulation System of 72 cities, including Xinhai City, Heliang City, and Wanshui City, crashed and shut down on the spot. It was then forcibly restarted by the power of the demon king Bo Xun, and countless new laws began to be forcibly rewritten.

If the examination of the Jade Book had been delayed even a moment longer, the demonic virus would have spread to more places, and might even have affected the central control unit of the Heavenly Thunder Department.

Bang!
The precious book, having consumed too much energy, suddenly emitted a puff of black smoke and then fell into a deep sleep.

However, before falling into slumber, it diligently completed its most important task report, allowing the gods to make a clearer judgment on the current situation.

【warn! 】

[The game "Slaying the Heavens Soul" has been released to the entire realm through the Heavenly Tribulation System. Please suppress it immediately!]

The Lightning Tribulation System operating on the eastern coast of Zhongzhou is being changed to the Heart Tribulation System. The loading is expected to complete in one hour. If the administrator can repair the system before the rewrite is finished, there is still a chance to salvage the situation.

The gods of Heaven were completely dumbfounded.

The disappearance of Tianlang City was such a big deal that the gods naturally knew more or less that it was related to the Great Sage of Demon Heaven. Therefore, they were mentally prepared long ago and had been observing the great changes in Tianlang City!

But I never expected this!
The Great Sage Equal to Heaven has gone to such lengths!

He actually used the Heavenly Court's Thunder Tribulation System as a foundation and forcibly rewrote the program, wanting to transform the Thunder Tribulation System into a Heart Tribulation System?
This means that the Heavenly Court will completely lose its monitoring and control over the 72 cities along the eastern coast of Zhongzhou. If the Heavenly Court sends troops to these places in the future, it will be attacked by the Mara Heart Tribulation System in return.

The demons will gain a true home-field advantage within the 72 cities of Zhongzhou.

As a result,
With cultivators replenishing their ranks and various resources plundered from the Central Plains, the Great Sage's agents, along with their own unique Mind Tribulation Detection System, have now truly achieved complete independence!
Half of the Central Plains was lost in a single day!
Even though the gods were mentally prepared, they still felt they were about to break down.

Faintly,
Everyone felt like they had shot themselves in the foot, and couldn't help but wonder if they had been too lenient with the Jade Emperor—even if they wanted to start a great war, this was no way to do it!
But that's not all the bad news.

If the threat from the Great Sage Bo Xun was expected, why did the leader of the Heaven-Slaying Alliance suddenly join in?
It's important to know that there are many types of heavenly tribulations, with lightning tribulation being just the most famous one. Other types include the tribulation of the five signs of decay for celestial beings, the tribulation of the collapse of divine stars, and so on.
However, the Great Sage Demon King had already successfully integrated himself into the Heavenly Tribulation system by exploiting two loopholes: the [Reversed Heavenly Principles] and the [Heavenly Demon Heart Tribulation], making the Heart Tribulation a part of the Heavenly Tribulation.

Therefore, it is understandable that Mara successfully utilized the Heavenly Tribulation system.

But what kind of rotten fish and shrimp is your Heaven-Slaying Alliance? How dare you infiltrate our Thunder Department's firewall?
You should know that Lei's firewall had just repelled several intrusions from the Dark Web of the Great Sage Stealing Heaven!
Could this ruler's ability to "steal from the heavens" be even stronger than that of the dark web?

impossible!
It is absolutely impossible.

Therefore, it is really strange that the Heaven-Slaying Alliance was able to break through the firewall.

They lacked an intrusion medium like the Thunder Department of Tianlang City, were not deliberately allowed to do so by the gods of the Heavenly Court, and did not have the "legitimate status" of the Great Sage of Demon Heaven. How could they possibly intrude into the Heavenly Tribulation System?

Too many doubts, too many questions
All the gods in the Heavenly Court felt a great terror.

At a critical moment, Venus, who was tending flowers at home, had to return to the front lines to stabilize morale.

"What's the panic! The Heart Tribulation System hasn't been completely rewritten yet, and the Soul Travel issued by the Heaven-Slaying Alliance isn't irretrievable. As long as His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor is still alive, he can't overturn the Three Realms!"

Holding his whisk, Li Changgeng walked step by step before the gods, his calm demeanor concealing a raging inferno as he said, "Are you all so terrified by just three Great Sages?"

The gods silently lowered their heads, not daring to meet his gaze.
Venus snorted coldly, then turned around and methodically gave the order: "General Thunder God of the Nine Heavens, descend to the mortal realm to suppress the demonic scourge of Sirius City and eradicate the Mara Heart Demon System!"

"Go to the Ministry of Finance and block the Heavenly Soul Game. If you can't stop it, use the tax law and increase the tariff by ten thousand times. I want to see who he can sell this game to then!"

Under the will of the Western Venus, the Heavenly Court's war machine suddenly started running, and the gods, who were originally somewhat chaotic, also rallied together and united behind this Heavenly Court's war lord.

Last and most importantly,
Venus took off the jade talisman from his waist and tossed it to a deity nearby.

"Take my token immediately and go to Guanjiang Estuary to summon Yang Erlang! All other gods, follow me to hold off these three Great Sages. Even if the world turns upside down today, we must not let them leave this place easily!!"
