Godslayer: After the Seraph rejected me, I ascended directly to the highest godhood.

after one day.

Kunlun Ruins, the sacred land of Yaochi, within the celestial palace.

Lin Qiye sat cross-legged in the guest room, absorbing the spiritual energy contained in the peaches.

Yang Jian, clad in silver armor, stood guard over Lin Qiye.

hum!

Suddenly, a wave of energy emanated from Lin Qiye's body, and the pressure of 'Klein' descended upon him.

After completing the refining process, Lin Qiye slowly opened his eyes, feeling the changes in his body, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

Breakthrough with 'Klein'!

"Brother, you've broken through! Congratulations!" Yang Jian stepped forward and said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Lin Qiye wanted to say something boastful, but when he remembered that his younger brother was Erlang Shen, his smile became somewhat forced.

He smiled with relief and was about to chat with Ah Jin about everyday things.

But at that moment, the ground suddenly began to shake violently!

Lin Qiye was taken aback. "An earthquake?"

"No need to worry," Yang Jian shook his head slightly.

Lin Qiye looked around, puzzled.

It was discovered that not only this suspended mountain peak, but other suspended mountains were also shaking violently.

Faintly, one could hear the incredibly crisp metallic clanging sounds coming from beneath Kunlun Ruins.

"Ah Jin, what's going on?"

Yang Jian put two fingers together and waved them in front of Lin Qiye's eyes.

Lin Qiye's eyes immediately flashed with golden light, and the concealment of the time silhouette gradually disappeared.

Beneath the celestial palace, the once lush, verdant forest, filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, and shrouded in ethereal mist, slowly vanished.

On the barren, gray-white mountainside, ancient swords gleaming coldly are stuck among the mountains like thorny bushes.

dong dong dong...

The violent tremors caused countless ancient swords in the mountains to emit clear sword cries, and streaks of sword light shot straight into the sky.

"Swords! How come there are so many swords in Kunlun Ruins?" Lin Qiye looked at the tens of millions of ancient swords below with astonishment.

Yang Jian, who was standing to the side, explained, "These are all swords that the Queen Mother of the West personally forged over the past hundred years."

Lin Qiye was taken aback. After the Peach Banquet, the Queen Mother of the West had met with him and had a conversation with him.

The Star Blade of the Night Watchman was forged by Nie Jinshan, the first commander-in-chief of the Great Xia Dynasty, from the Queen Mother of the West.

He originally thought that forging swords was just a hobby of the Queen Mother of the West, but the millions of ancient swords on this mountain range showed that it was definitely more than that.

For a century, millions of swords have been forged. What does the Queen Mother of the West intend to do?

Boom——

Just as Lin Qiye was pondering, a bolt of lightning struck the sky, and a streak of light flew towards the celestial palace where the Queen Mother of the West resided.

That is... Ziwei Xingjun.

With Yang Jian's divine power enhancing his eyes, Lin Qiye easily recognized the true form of the streak of light as Ziwei Xingjun, whom he had seen at the Peach Banquet.

But clearly, the current Ziwei Star Lord is still a silhouette of time in the Kunlun Mirror.

At this moment, Ziwei Xingjun's face was filled with anxiety. He mobilized his divine power to the extreme and descended in front of the celestial palace with lightning speed.

"Reporting to the Queen Mother of the West, a large amount of strange mist has appeared outside the Great Xia border. Wherever it goes, nothing grows and everything is annihilated."

"The Four Heavenly Kings, the Twelve Constellations, and others joined forces to block the mist but failed. Instead, their divine power was devoured by the mist, causing them to fall from the divine realm and their lives to be in danger."

"The Golden Immortals, the Western Cleansing Altar Messenger, and the Golden Arhats are discussing strategies to counter the enemy. Immortals from all directions are also on their way. We implore Your Majesty to take charge and oversee the situation!"

The Ziwei Star Lord's loud voice, filled with anxiety, resounded throughout the sacred land of Yaochi.

Lin Qiye was stunned when he heard this.

Snapped!

Yang Jian put his hand on his shoulder and looked at the silhouette of time in the Immortal Palace, saying, "According to your timeline, this silhouette should be from March 9, 1920, which is the 'survival day' in textbooks."

Lin Qiye was taken aback, his eyes widening slightly.

The day of survival is the day when the mist descends upon the world, and the gods of the Great Xia sacrifice their own cultivation to transform into nine national guardian steles to resist the mist!

Could the Queen Mother of the West's reappearance in this timeline be related to these ancient swords?

Lin Qiye looked down at the millions of ancient swords below and fell into deep thought.

In the distance, at the Jade Pool, within the celestial palace.

Upon hearing the anxious voice of the Ziwei Star Lord outside the palace, the Queen Mother of the West's avatar, seated on the throne, had ripples appear in her calm, beautiful eyes.

Once, when the mist descended, the gods of the Great Xia Dynasty, responding to the command of the Heavenly Venerable, transformed into a monument to protect the people of the Great Xia Dynasty in a tragic way.

At this moment, it seems to reappear before her eyes.

Helplessness, bitterness, pain... countless emotions intertwined.

She knew this was just a snapshot of time, but the past was already lingering in her mind.

On the contrary, the more I recalled it, the stronger it became.

This time, however, she was merely an observer in the shadow of time, unable to change the established history.

All she can do is change the future.

Only by letting the sword perceive emotions, and by using the unwavering resolve of countless Great Xia gods who sacrificed themselves to become monuments, can the sword be imbued with spirituality and forged into a sharp blade.

Prepare for the Celestial Venerable's sword challenge in Northern Europe.

The Queen Mother of the West slowly rose, with a Kunlun Mirror surrounding her.

Those beautiful eyes swirled, reflecting the mountains below the celestial palace, where countless ancient swords were embedded.

"Spiritual energy as the guide, divine spirit as the blade, bloody battle against death, forging the sword and sharpening its edge..."

She pinched the sword with her fingers and chanted.

At the same time, the millions of ancient swords on the Kunlun Sword Ruins trembled even more violently.

"Please, Queen Mother of the West, intervene and take charge!"

However, outside the celestial palace, the urgent words of the Ziwei Star Lord rang out once more.

The Queen Mother of the West sighed, her sword pointing, and the gates of the celestial palace slowly opened.

"Very well, though it is just an illusion, I will accompany all the immortals on this journey."

As soon as she finished speaking, her figure transformed into a streak of light and flew out of Kunlun Ruins.

Upon seeing this, the Star Lord Ziwei was overjoyed and transformed into a stream of light to follow closely behind.

Upon seeing this, Yang Jian and Lin Qiye exchanged a glance and flew out of Kunlun Ruins on their somersault clouds.

However, upon emerging, Lin Qiye was surprised to discover that the time silhouette of the Kunlun Mirror actually covered the world outside Kunlun Ruins.

Beside him, Yang Jian's divine power surged, and a divine power clone flew towards the direction where the Queen Mother of the West had gone.

"Ah Jin, what's wrong with you...?"

"To sharpen the ancient sword, the Celestial Venerable's sword-hunting in Northern Europe has been brought forward."

Upon hearing Ah Jin's words, Lin Qiye looked toward the western border in surprise.

……

Border defense company outside.

"I don't know the whereabouts of the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations, and even if I did, I couldn't tell you."

On a hill, Han Shaoyun looked at Lu Baoyou and said earnestly.

“But I must find Him. You are His agent, so you must have a way to see Him.”

Lu Baoyou said stubbornly.

Han Shaoyun frowned slightly. "Next time I see the Celestial Venerable, I can ask him for you."

"But remember, your current identity is that of a Night's Watchman, not a tool for the gods to find people!"

"Before your father Lu Qiu was transferred to Chenlong Pass, he also worked under me for a period of time. He is a man who likes to risk his life."

"But my only regret is that I haven't spent enough time with my wife and children."

"After you graduate from the training camp, you can go visit your father."

"Now you understand the true meaning of the words 'Night Watch'."

Han Shaoyun patted him on the shoulder, "The border defense company is just ahead, let's go back."

Lu Baoyou listened to Han Shaoyun's words and lowered her head slightly, lost in thought.

"Thank you...." After a while, he thanked Han Shaoyun and turned to walk towards the western border defense company.

Han Shaoyun nodded with a smile, took out his phone from his pocket, and called Qingqing.

The call was answered shortly after.

"Qingqing, I'll be back tomorrow, and I'll bring you the legendary peaches of immortality..."

"Han Shaoyun, what have you been doing for the past six months?"

The phone suddenly rang with an accusatory voice, "Why did you leave the Night's Watch? Why are you wanted by the authorities?"

"Do you know how much effort Commander Ye put in for you back then? What are you doing now, killing new recruits in the training camp... You! You've disappointed me so much."

Han Shaoyun froze, and the joy on his face, which had been building up to the point where he could go home to see his wife and children, gradually faded.

He kept everything about leaving the Night Watch and working for Jiang Ye a secret from Qingqing.

It's no wonder she misunderstood.

"Qingqing, let me explain..."

"Fine, come back and explain to me in person!"

Qingqing's voice was firm, "Shaoyun, I don't care what you do, I support you and believe in you, but..."

"I don't want my child to be born knowing that his father is seen by everyone as... a traitor!"

Drip!

The phone hangs up.
