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

Great Summer, [Chennan Pass].

Above the dark sky, various divine lights and demonic forces danced wildly, colliding fiercely and causing the space to tremble.

On one side of the gods in the Temple of the Gods, the Black Goddess Kali, with her jet-black skin, suddenly stopped attacking and looked toward the Temple of the Gods with an unusual expression.

Not only her, but also the gods such as Yama, the god of death, and Agni, the god of fire, all stopped fighting and looked in the direction of the temple.

"The blessing of national fortune has disappeared, and something has happened to the Temple of Heaven!"

"Could it be..."

"Do you think the Great Xia will just sit and wait to die?" Above the sky, the Jade Emperor, wearing a white-patterned imperial robe, held the Haotian Pagoda in his hand and looked coldly at the gods of the Heavenly Temple.

"Now that your nation's fate has been sealed, defeat is inevitable."

"All gods of Great Xia, heed my command! Invaders shall be slain without exception!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" the gods replied.

The gods of the Great Xia Dynasty, riding on celestial clouds, were reignited in their fighting spirit at the Jade Emperor's command. They unleashed various magical treasures and charged into battle.

The earth-shaking roar of the gods in the Heavenly Court threw the gods in the Heavenly Temple into a panic.

The fate of a nation is different from the origin of a divine kingdom; the origin of a divine kingdom influences the power of the gods.

The fate of a nation represents the rise and fall of a divine kingdom; the disappearance of a nation's fate means that the divine kingdom is destined to perish.

Continuing to fight would inevitably lead to defeat.

"Where are the people of Olympus? Didn't Brahma say they would come to our aid? Where are they now?!"

"I don't think they'll be able to come. The battle with the Great Xia has been going on for five or six days, and we haven't seen a single person from Olympus."

"I think Olympus just wants to reap the benefits without lifting a finger, and then come and clean up the mess after we've both been weakened. Those treacherous villains!"

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go!"

"..."

Rama, the seventh avatar of Vishnu, listened to the words of the gods and knew that there was no need to continue the fight.

He raised the banner of the Temple of the Gods high, shouting, "Gods, retreat!"

Upon hearing the order to retreat, the gods of the Heavenly Temple immediately rushed into the mist.

"You bunch of old folks want to leave? Humph! You think you can get away from me?"

The fat-headed and big-eared Taiyi Zhenren took the lead and forcefully threw out the [Map of Mountains and Rivers].

The moment the painting was released, it instantly enveloped the sky, covering all the gods in the temple.

Many of the deities from the Heavenly Temple, unable to stop themselves, crashed directly into the Mountain and River Map, disappearing in a flash of light.

"stop!"

Rama immediately shouted for the gods to stop.

He glanced back at the relentlessly pursuing gods of the Great Xia Dynasty and roared, "Use your divine power to blast this diagram apart!"

The gods of the Heavenly Temple understood and quickly mobilized all their divine power, pushing out with both hands, sending hundreds of beams of divine power hurtling towards the Mountain and River Map.

Above the heavens, the Jade Emperor, surveying the entire scene, smiled.

The Haotian Pagoda flew out, its base radiating a dazzling golden light.

The Jade Emperor looked at Shen Qingzhu and Zhou Ping and said, "You two go and destroy those mother beasts that produce divine beasts. We will take care of them."

Shen Qingzhu and Zhou Ping nodded and flew towards the ground.

The Jade Emperor's gaze returned to the area covered by the Mountain and River Map, and he flashed to its side.

He spoke authoritatively: "Prepare to close the net."

Not long after the words were spoken, the gods of the Great Xia Dynasty surrounded the fleeing gods of the Heavenly Temple and used their magical treasures to deplete their divine power.

……

Ground, [Chennan Pass].

Beneath the city walls, riddled with holes, lay the corpses of monsters and humans, their dark blood mixed with mud forming small puddles.

On the scorched earth, the survivors ran toward the front lines, their eyes bloodshot.

Those were eyes that had witnessed their comrades being torn to pieces by monsters.

"Old Zhao! Come back here right now!"

Seeing Zhao Kongcheng running towards the front line, Wen Qimo immediately chased after him.

"Hongying, take good care of... the captain."

He left behind a sentence in a hoarse voice.

Hongying knelt on the ground, her expression blank, with a long spear tied with a red ribbon stuck beside her.

She kept her head down, her eyes trembling.

"Captain...Captain!"

In front of Hongying, Chen Muyi lay on the ground, wearing a tattered dark red cloak, his face deathly pale, blood oozing from a huge hole in his chest.

Hongying slowly stretched out her trembling hands, sensing Chen Muye's cold corpse.

She froze, tears streaming down her face like a spring, dripping onto the blood-stained dirt.

"Captain, Squad 136 was finally complete, and you..."

Hongying choked up and couldn't speak.

Compared to regaining what she had lost, losing it again drained all her strength.

She picked up Chen Muye's body, placed it in a safe spot, and then shakily picked up the spear.

Roar!

At this moment, several black wolves that broke through the front line opened their blood-red maws, their eerie green eyes staring excitedly at Hongying.

Hongying slowly raised her head, lifted her hand holding the spear, and layers of dazzling flames emerged from the spear.

"I want you all to be buried with the captain!!"

With her red tassels touching the ground, she leaped high into the air, the long spear, blazing with flames, spinning with her body.

The black wolves also rushed over, and when they were close to Hongying, they pushed off the ground with their hind legs and bit at Hongying in mid-air with their huge, slimy mouths.

The latter brandished his spear, roaring as he slashed out.

A sky full of crimson flames enveloped all the black wolves, and as the spears slammed into the ground, the crimson flames stretched out like a long dragon along the ground into the distance.

As the fireworks faded, only the charred black wolf remained, along with flames dancing on the ground like a long dragon.

"Sister Hongying!"

In mid-air, Lin Qiye, sitting on his somersault cloud, saw the dazzling crimson flames, which seemed very familiar.

"Captain, do you know her?" Jiang Er asked curiously, looking at the woman on the ground who was charging towards the front line with a flaming spear.

Lin Qiye nodded, "Let's go help too..."

Suddenly, he seemed to sense something in his [Mortal Divine Realm] and abruptly turned to look at the corner of the city wall.

A very familiar face was reflected in his trembling eyes.

"Chen Muye... Captain!"

Lin Qiye was stunned.

"What's wrong, Qi Ye?" An Qingyu patted his shoulder.

Lin Qiye snapped out of his daze, looked away, and said in a very uncomfortable voice, "No, it's nothing."

He knew this was not the time for sentimentality; the war on the front lines was brutal, and every second they delayed could mean the loss of a life.

Lin Qiye clenched his fists, suppressing the grief in his heart, and controlled his somersault cloud to rush to the front line.

……

Mount Olympus.

"Go find Kronos now? But it's time for Great Xia to close the net."

Zeus, sitting on his throne, was very reluctant after hearing Lucifer's plan.

Judging by the time, the Heavenly Temple and the Great Xia have already fought to a standstill, and it's time for me to wipe them all out.

From then on, Olympus would be the only divine kingdom in the world.

At this critical juncture, how could He agree to give up the opportunity to destroy the Temple of the Gods and the Great Xia?

“You’ve underestimated the Great Xia,” Lucifer said calmly. “I’ve said it before, that place can’t possibly imprison the ‘Myriad Manifestations Celestial Venerable’ forever.”

"If you're willing to risk your life, then do as you please."

Zeus frowned, looking at the fragment of the Key to the Gate in his hand. "Just how powerful is this 'All-Encompassing Celestial'?"

“Far beyond your imagination,” Lucifer said earnestly.

Zeus stared at Lucifer's bewitching eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then summoned Ares, the god of war.

He used his divine power to envelop the fragments of the Key to the Gate and handed them to Ares.

"You, along with the other twelve main gods, will take this fragment and travel to the border of the Great Xia Dynasty."

"Exile the gods of Great Xia to the ends of the earth!"

Ares bowed and said, "I am at your service, Your Majesty!"
