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

Western border defense company.

An Qingyu and the others, who were ordered by Ye Fan to protect the new recruits, also witnessed the spreading of the dark mist and the desperate efforts of the Great Xia gods to stop it.

"It's the Great Xia Gods, so many Great Xia Gods!" Baili Pangpang exclaimed, pointing to the sky. "They all seem to be heading towards the western border."

"Furthermore, have you noticed that the barrier against the fog seems to have disappeared?" Cao Yuan stared westward.

An Qingyu stood up, pushed up her glasses, and a gray glint flashed in her eyes.

Then he shook his head and said, "That's not real, it's all an illusion."

Phantom?

Everyone was slightly taken aback. Apart from Baili Pangpang, Cao Yuan, Jiang Er, and Shen Qingzhu all showed puzzled expressions.

"Instructor An, Lu Baoyou is back." At this moment, Fang Mo's voice came from outside.

Everyone looked up and saw that all the new recruits who were temporarily resting at the border defense company were staring at the western horizon with expressions of shock.

An Qingyu walked up to Fang Mo and said in a serious tone, "Call him over here."

This is the act of withdrawing from training based on personal will.

Once you're on the battlefield, disobeying orders and deserting makes no difference!

Fang Mo nodded and walked towards the tent not far away.

"Qingyu, should we go take a look over there?" Jiang Er looked at the illusory figure on the west side.

An Qingyu shook her head. "Don't forget, our mission is to protect the new recruits."

The four of them nodded.

……

Before the apocalyptic fog.

"Idiot, Old Sha, are you alright?"

Wearing a kasaya and riding on a somersault cloud, the Victorious Fighting Buddha landed in front of a golden Arhat wearing a white monk's robe and an adorable altar-cleansing messenger.

"It's nothing, I, Old Pig... I'm tough as nails, this is nothing." The Clean Altar Messenger patted his chest and said, "By the way, Brother Monkey, where's Master?"

"Master has gone south, and the fog there can hardly stop him." The Victorious Fighting Buddha's golden eyes flashed, as if he saw through everything, and he replied.

Upon hearing this, the Clean Altar Messenger frowned.

Or should we go back... *slap*

He slapped himself and gave a dry laugh.

"Great Sage, you've finally arrived! Great Sage, quickly think of a way to stop this fog!"

At this moment, the Thunder God and Lightning Goddess, who had rested for a while, saw the Great Sage and immediately flew over in a hurry, saying, "We have tried all sorts of methods, but we still cannot stop this fog even a little bit."

"If the fog continues to spread, the surrounding people will likely suffer."

Upon hearing this, the Victorious Fighting Buddha looked up and saw that the mist filling the sky and the earth was surging and spreading, devouring all living things on the earth.

Under the keen eyes of the demons, one could see demons with gleaming crimson eyes lurking in the mist, occasionally letting out roars.

The Victorious Fighting Buddha snorted coldly, and his cassock rustled as it was propelled by divine power.

A fearsome fighting spirit swept through the surroundings.

"So many bastards dare to stir up trouble in the Great Xia! I'd like to see what kind of strength you have!"

He stepped out, his divine power surging forth, and golden Buddhist light covered his body.

dong dong!

Amidst waves of divine power, a giant ape statue radiating golden Buddhist light stood like a towering giant against the dark sky.

The next moment, the Buddha Ape Dharma Image clenched its hand by its ear, and the gilded Sea-Stabilizing Needle grew from small to large, becoming as large as a mountain in a short time, piercing straight into the sky.

The tall Dharma Image gripped the long staff, and the space itself trembled under the power of the Dharma Image's influence.

A burst of Buddha light emanated from the Buddha-ape image, and the magic needle that stabilized the sea was swung, stirring up a hurricane.

The power it carried instantly leveled several surrounding snow-capped mountains.

boom--!

The moment the golden cudgel came into contact with the mist, it was as if something tangible had collided with it, producing a deafening roar.

The pitch-black mist paused for a moment where the golden cudgel struck.

But moments later, the fog continued to spread, seemingly unstoppable...

"Monkey, I'm here to help you!"

At this moment, Yang Jian's clone flew over from behind, his sword finger hovering over his face, and his third eye on his forehead suddenly opened, its dazzling light piercing through everything.

A towering image of the Buddha and ape, the [Qingyuan Dharma Image], stands between heaven and earth.

Under the blinding light of the vertical eye on the dharma statue's forehead, the spread of the mist slowed down.

Seeing this, the other gods of the Great Xia also used their innate divine powers to block the fog.

A streak of red light landed to the left of the Victorious Fighting Buddha, where a long spear emitting flames hovered horizontally.

The Samadhi Fire erupted with incomparably intense heat, and amidst the raging flames, Nezha, with his three heads and six arms, slowly stretched out, sitting cross-legged within a fire lotus, appearing incredibly divine.

"What kind of bullshit fog is this? Break it!"

The flaming spear, carrying Samadhi True Fire, instantly grew to the size of a small mountain, piercing into the pitch-black mist.

Seeing this, the Golden Immortals nearby nodded in agreement and offered their divine assistance.

The fat, big-eared, and pot-bellied Taiyi Zhenren rubbed his nose and slowly walked forward, a blue lotus flower floating in his hand.

He stared at the mist that continued to spread forward even as the power of the gods tried to stop it.

Taiyi Zhenren's eyes narrowed. "I don't know if we can hold out, even with me in tow."

As he finished speaking, the azure lotus in his hand unleashed supreme immortal power, and he followed Taiyi Zhenren into the pitch-black mist...

On the snow-capped mountain not far away, Han Shaoyun, who witnessed this scene, showed a look of shock on his face.

"The gods of the Great Xia Dynasty... protect all living beings, and risk their lives without hesitation..."

He murmured to himself, slowly lowering his head, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

Meanwhile, Lin Qiye, who remained by the side of the Queen Mother of the West, was also deeply moved by this scene.

It can be seen that although most of the fog is blocked, fog is constantly seeping in from other places.

Although it was an illusion, the visual impact on the people of Daxia was like a flood bursting its banks.

"Your Majesty, is there no way to stop this fog?" Lin Qiye couldn't help but ask.

"Of course there is," the Queen Mother of the West said slowly. "A hundred years ago, I and the immortals joined forces with the three Heavenly Venerables and the Jade Emperor to block most of the fog."

"But unfortunately, as soon as there is even the slightest gap in this fog, it will pour in, causing widespread devastation and death within a radius of dozens of miles."

"Later, we considered using ancient formations, but the Great Xia was too large, and could only protect one-fifth of the Great Xia territory at most."

One-fifth!

Upon hearing this, Lin Qiye frowned deeply.

"Therefore, in the end, the gods of the Great Xia Dynasty collapsed..."

Before Lin Qiye could finish speaking, a resounding voice imbued with divine power echoed throughout the universe from the sky.

"The Heavenly Venerable has given an order!"

"A great calamity has arrived, and countless lives will be lost! The gods of our Great Xia have been worshipped in the mortal realm for thousands of years, and it is time for them to take action."

"Ten breaths later, the Heavenly Court will shatter its own origin and transform into the bases of nine national guardian steles to guard the border."

"All the gods of my Great Xia who are willing to sacrifice themselves will use their divine bodies and powers to nourish the national guardian stele, build a great array to protect the country for ten thousand years, resist evil spirits, and ensure the safety of all people in my Great Xia and peace throughout the world!"

"From this day forward, our souls will enter the cycle of reincarnation once more. When the Heavenly Court is rebuilt one day, we will return and let the might of the Great Xia Dynasty return to the world!"

"Fellow immortals, we... will meet again in the next life."
