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

Shanhaiguan, the border of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Under the dark sky, an incredibly tall skeletal giant was constantly under fire, with explosions and the sound of surging waves mingling together.

Jade Cauldron Immortal stood high in the air, his feet treading on celestial clouds, his Daoist robes billowing in the gale.

Unable to break free due to Hela's control, they could only use their artifacts to slow down the giant corpse's advance.

Upon seeing this, Hela narrowed her eyes slightly and suddenly raised her hands.

Countless ethereal divine powers condensed around his body, forming numerous magical orbs.

Hela waved her right hand forward, and a magic orb emanating from the netherworld shot towards Jade Cauldron Immortal.

Master Yu Ding frowned slightly, waved his snow-white whisk, and a layer of divine power light condensed in front of him.

Boom——

The magic orb struck the pale golden light screen, creating a deafening explosion accompanied by the roars of countless undead.

Master Yu Ding's eyes darted around, clearly distracted.

Hela, as the chief goddess of Asgard who governs the underworld, is nearly as powerful as the Valkyrie.

Once she's got you hooked, there's no way you can escape her anytime soon.

Plus…

Master Yu Ding's gaze swept over Shanhaiguan below, and his expression gradually became solemn.

He still doesn't know which of the nine guardian monuments Loki is on.

However, no matter which of the national guardian stele is destroyed, the entire national protection formation will become ineffective.

When the mist invades Great Xia, countless lives will be lost...

“Master, I will stop her. You must go and protect the National Stele.”

Just when Master Yuding was at a loss, Wu Xiangnan, wearing a light blue cloak and holding the [Ama-no-Murakumo Sword], stood in front of him with eyes as bright as the sun.

Master Yu Ding was taken aback, his gaze falling on the blood on the [Kusanagi Sword] and the corpse of Pan the Shepherd on the sea.

He nodded. "Okay, you guys have to hold on. I'll be there as soon as I've dealt with Loki."

Master Yu Ding turned and flew into Shanhaiguan, heading towards the northern border.

The last time the Indian gods attacked the northern border of the Great Xia, they greatly depleted the divine power of the national guardian stele on the northern border.

In terms of difficulty and time efficiency, there is a high probability that Loki will go to the northern border.

The other eight national guardian steles will also naturally be guarded by Golden Immortals.

However... the fighting strength at the border will be greatly reduced.

Hopefully they can hold on...

Master Yu Ding sighed, withdrew his gaze, and disappeared into Shanhaiguan on a cloud of immortality.

Outside Shanhaiguan, Hela's gaze fell on Wu Xiangnan, who stood behind her, bathed in the shimmering sunlight.

A divine longsword exuding a ghostly aura, shrouded in black mist, appeared in Hela's hand.

She didn't care that Yu Ding Zhenren was going to guard the National Guardian Stele; with Loki's methods, no matter how many gods went, they couldn't stop him.

Hela's gaze fell on Wu Xiangnan, and she said calmly:

"The laws born from the incomplete origin, if not for the supreme artifact, you wouldn't even be able to defeat a shepherding god on Olympus."

Wu Xiangnan snorted coldly, and a sun slowly appeared above his head. "Let's give it a try."

Hela smiled knowingly, looking at her long, slender fingers. "Fighting... I'm not really interested in that."

“I prefer to see you struggle in despair.” She pointed her long finger at Wu Xiangnan.

The latter's brows furrowed slowly, and suddenly his pupils contracted sharply.

Hela vanished in the blink of an eye, and Wu Xiangnan looked around, his gaze settling on the captain and his companions who were being harassed by Hermes, the god of theft.

Hela, dressed in all black, appeared above Captain Luan Ping, enveloped by endless black, ghostly energy.

"team leader!"

Wu Xiangnan's eyes instantly turned red, and the [Ama-no-Murakumo Sword] was swung at lightning speed, sweeping across Hela's body like a bolt of lightning.

"Ha ha……"

However, the [Kusanagi Sword] only struck a wisp of black, ghostly energy, accompanied by Hela's sinister laughter.

Wu Xiangnan was taken aback and quickly turned to look at the captain and the others in the Netherworld Aura.

The aura of the underworld gradually faded under the sunlight.

But when Wu Xiangnan saw Captain Luan Ping and the other team members, his eyes widened and became bloodshot.

Luan Ping and the other five team members were expressionless, their eyes pitch black.

"kill him."

Hela, the goddess of the underworld, standing behind them, waved her hand and gave the order.

Like puppets on strings, Luan Ping and the others raised their Star Blades and said expressionlessly, "Kill!!"

Six figures in light blue light blue wielded star blades and slashed rapidly toward Wu Xiangnan.

The latter froze, staring at the approaching Star Blade, and subconsciously lowered the [Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi] that he had raised.

His eyes flashed with a blinding light, and he condensed a divine power shield around himself, enveloping himself within it.

Ding! Ding! ...

The Star Blade struck the light barrier, producing a crisp echo.

"Captain, wake up!" Wu Xiangnan shouted at Luan Ping, whose eyes were dark and empty.

However, Luan Ping and the others seemed not to hear, only knowing to swing their swords and attack the divine power shield.

"Heh, stop wasting your breath. Their souls are being devoured by countless undead. In a little while, they'll be nothing more than fighting machines."

Hela's voice came from afar, accompanied by mocking laughter, "Enjoy the pain of despair."

"asshole!"

Wu Xiangnan stomped his right foot on the air, sending the six people flying backward.

Then, he transformed into a blinding streak of light, and the [Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi] in his hand pierced towards Hela.

The latter didn't seem afraid at all, not even flinching, and looked at him with a mocking expression.

Just as the [Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi] was only a body length away from Hela, Luan Ping, wearing a light blue cloak, suddenly appeared in front of Hela.

Wu Xiangnan's pupils suddenly contracted, and he quickly turned his sword away.

Just then, Hela suddenly appeared beside him, striking him in the chest with a palm strike, and the [Ama-no-Murakumo Sword] fell into Hela's hands.

Pfft!

Wu Xiangnan's blood surged, and he was sent flying dozens of meters backward.

"The [Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi], which is said to be able to cut through anything, is perfect for you to cut through this barrier."

Hela ignored Wu Xiangnan and turned to head towards Shanhaiguan.

Upon seeing this, Wu Xiangnan gritted his teeth and was about to stop him.

puff!

Suddenly, Luan Ping appeared from behind, his Star Blade plunging mercilessly into Wu Xiangnan's chest.

Wu Xiangnan suddenly stopped, his eyes wide open as he slowly turned his head.

Puff puff……

Before he could even see the captain's face, four star blades flew from a distance and pierced through his limbs.

Tick!

Blood dripped down the blade of the long sword and into the surging sea.

"Team...captain..."

With a mouthful of blood, Wu Xiangnan mumbled incoherently, tears streaming down her face.

But there was no response; all that could be heard was the howling sea wind and the continuous barrage of gunfire.

The stinging pain in his body constantly stimulated Wu Xiangnan's nerves.

"kill!"

Then, Luan Ping drew the Star Blade from his chest, his eyes pitch black, raised the long blade, and expressionlessly swung it toward Wu Xiangnan's neck.

"Divine judgment, vanquish evil and retreat!"

thump—

Wu Xiangnan activated Amaterasu's [Divine Judgment], and a blinding light instantly enveloped Luan Ping and the other six.

Amaterasu is the sun goddess of Takamagahara, and her laws are naturally effective against evil spirits and the dead.

A huge phantom of a trial bench rose up, and Luan Ping and the other six were instantly fixed to the trial pillar.

When the holy sunlight fell on the six people, painful struggles immediately appeared on their faces.

"team leader……"

"Xiangnan, kill us!" Luan Ping regained some of his senses and roared, "We are the Night Watchers of Great Xia. Even if we die, we cannot become tools for the Outer Gods to kill."

Wu Xiangnan was taken aback, his fists clenched so tightly they made a cracking sound.

"Vice Captain, don't blame yourself, we don't blame you."

"Xiangnan, from now on, you will lead [Blue Rain] and continue on this path..."

Wu Xiangnan trembled all over, his pupils dilated violently.

His divine judgment could only temporarily stop the undead within them from devouring their souls.

However, it is impossible to completely eliminate them.

kill?

Do not! Do not!

Wu Xiangnan lowered his head, sinking into deep despair.

He didn't know what to do, and he couldn't make a decision.

He stood before Luan Ping and the other six, and remained unmoved by their shouts.

In the distance, Hela, the goddess of the underworld, standing above Shanhaiguan, glanced at Wu Xiangnan, who was in despair, and smiled.

"Their despair truly pleases me."

"Then let this fortress also taste the bitterness of despair."

Hela, the goddess of the underworld, slowly raised the [Kusanagi Sword], its blade enveloped in black, ghostly energy.

As the longsword fell, a massive crescent-shaped sword aura descended upon the war fortress below, Shanhaiguan.

The night watchmen and guards of Shanhaiguan looked up at the black crescent-shaped sword aura, their eyes showing no fear.

The colonel, his left arm missing and covered in blood, took off his hat, turned towards the direction of Daxia, and gave a standard military salute.

His eyes were filled with deep regret, as if he were blaming himself.

The remaining guards and night watchmen looked in different directions from Great Xia, their faces showing sadness and smiles...

"The Celestial Decree of All Things!!"

Just as everyone was accepting their defeat, a voice resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

He didn't come from Shanhaiguan; it was as if he descended from the heavens, a truly awe-inspiring presence.

Everyone at Shanhaiguan was taken aback upon hearing this voice.

The sword energy Hela unleashed vanished the instant that sound arrived.

Everyone looked towards the direction of the summer sky, where endless blue and white divine light shone down from the thick clouds.

A sacred decree inscribed with 'The Celestial Venerable of All Things' slowly descended from the clouds.

Under the imperial decree, Han Shaoyun, dressed in white robes, raised his silver halberd, stared at the border, and roared angrily.

"By the decree of the Heavenly Venerable, those who offend our Great Xia shall be punished!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the blue and white imperial edict in the sky suddenly trembled, and terrifying divine power swept towards the border, covering the entire Great Xia.

Outside Shanhaiguan, Hela, the goddess of the underworld, saw this scene and her pupils suddenly contracted.

"How is this possible? Didn't the Celestial Venerable of All Things go to Asgard? How could this be!"

Hela's expression immediately turned to fear, and she lost all interest in breaking through the barrier.

Her entire body transformed into a ghostly aura, fleeing like a defeated army in disarray.

However, the speed at which that terrifying blue-white divine power swept across was no longer limited by space and time.

In just a moment, Hela, the goddess of the underworld, was overwhelmed by the wave of blue and white divine power and lost her life.

Including the skeletal giant below, and Hermes, the god of thievery hidden in space, all of which were instantly extinguished the moment the blue and white divine power was released.

The six people, including Luan Ping, who were bound to the pillars, had their spirits wailing and dissipating the moment the blue and white divine power swept over them.

Wu Xiangnan's eyes widened as he looked at the imperial edict in the sky.

He suddenly knelt down, his voice filled with gratitude, "Thank you! Heavenly Venerable!"

All the night watchmen and guards below Shanhaiguan solemnly saluted the decree inscribed with 'Wanxiang Tianzun'.

In addition, the same applies to the eleven war fortresses.

Zhou Ping, his black robes soaked with blood, stared at the imperial edict, a slow smile spreading across his lips.

"Jian Ye..."

……

The National Guardian Stele stands on the northern border.

Beneath the towering black stone monument, Loki, dressed in a dark green robe, looked at the three cracks on the monument and smiled.

"It won't be long before the National Guardian Stele is damaged, and the Great Xia will be shrouded in mist."

"From now on, the Great Xia will lose its source of faith power."

Loki spoke with great pleasure, his gaze fixed on the border, and he let out a chuckle.

"Fool, you still haven't realized it's just a pretext to attack Great Xia?"

Loki smiled, looking at the fleshy growths covering the surface of the stone tablet, seemingly still somewhat dissatisfied with the speed at which he was absorbing the divine power from the tablet.

He took out another bottle, from which a scarlet eyeball peeked out and approached the stone tablet.

"By the decree of the Heavenly Venerable, those who offend our Great Xia shall be punished!"

Suddenly a deep voice came, and Loki's hand trembled involuntarily, causing the bottle to fall heavily to the ground and shatter.

"The Celestial Venerable of All Manifestations!"

He turned his head sharply, and the terrifying blue-white divine power came straight at him.

Loki's eyes widened, and he had no time to react.

Along with that disgusting tumor, it was obliterated by the waves of blue and white divine power.

……

Asgard, the battlefield of the gods.

"Odin!"

High above the heavens, before a magnificent palace, the Taoist deity in black and white robes gazes at Odin, who has lost his 'Cthulhu' aura.

"Moral Celestial, I have now broken free from the control of 'Cthulhu' and returned to Asgard to receive my punishment."

Odin feigned concern and asked, "Why is your Great Xia attacking my Asgard?"

The Moral Celestial snorted coldly, "Odin, your little schemes may fool the gods of Asgard, but do you think they can fool me?"

"If that's the case, then there's nothing to discuss?" Odin's eyes narrowed slowly.

This is Asgard, and even if the two Celestials were here, He would not be afraid to fight them.

The last time the Supreme God of Morality challenged him with a sword, even when he joined forces with Vishnu, the supreme god, he was not killed.

The Primordial Celestial and the Moral Celestial frowned slightly, staring at Odin without speaking immediately.

Upon seeing this, Odin smiled slightly; He had indeed guessed correctly.

Now, He has become the only hope for the gods of Asgard.

If the Great Xia Heavenly Venerable were to forcibly initiate another war between the divine kingdoms, even if Asgard were ultimately destroyed, the gods of the Great Xia would suffer severe damage.

At that time, they will be completely unable to defend against Olympus and the Temple of the Gods.

"Great Heavenly Venerable, I believe there is still room for us to talk."

Odin smiled faintly and said, "Instead of a devastating war between the divine kingdoms, it would be better for everyone if we each took a step back."

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun and Daode Tianzun frowned.

Their concerns were exactly what Odin was thinking.

"Heavenly Venerable, it would be inappropriate to continue the fight," the Jade Emperor advised from the side.

The Queen Mother of the West nodded in agreement. “A forced war would surely deplete the strength of the gods. If the Temple of the Gods and Olympus were to invade Great Xia, we would be powerless to resist.”

Yuanshi Tianzun sighed, just as he was about to announce the withdrawal.

A divine thought enveloped the battlefield of the gods, causing their eardrums to ache.

"Now that everyone is here, the true God-King Ceremony may begin!"

The sound contained a terrifying divine pressure.

The gods were taken aback and looked up at the dark sky.

There, five-colored divine light flashed, shaking away the thick dark clouds.

A figure draped in a blue and white cloak was bathed in five-colored divine light.

"Lin Qiye!"

Upon seeing this clearly, Yuanshi Tianzun's expression changed drastically!
