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

Daxia, Huaguo Mountain, Water Curtain Cave.

Wow!

At the summit, a wide waterfall cascades down, like a white rainbow or a thousand-foot snow wave, falling straight from the mountaintop into the Milky Way.

The white mist rising from the waterfall lingers in the mountains, creating a scene resembling a fairyland.

Inside the cave, a mischievous monkey, dressed in a grass skirt woven from leaves, held a jar of fragrant fruit wine, his face flushed with a drunken blush.

It sat wobbly on the stone bench, casually picked up a banana from the stone table, and chuckled as it muttered to itself.

“My children, bring the traitor to me at once.”

"Where did this stranger come from?"

"Look at your long beak, you don't seem like a good person. Hurry up and tell me your name."

"Oh, lift your head up and let me see..."

"Oh, so it's Pigsy."

"..."

The mischievous monkey, holding a banana, muttered to himself as he looked at the empty Water Curtain Cave.

Before its eyes, however, it seemed not to be alone, but rather surrounded by a large group of monkeys, happily calling it "King".

Among them, Zhu Bajie, who has a long snout and a pig-like body, calls it "Bi Ma Wen" (弼马温) with dissatisfaction.

The mischievous monkey laughed to himself, shook the wine jar in his hand, and drank it all in one gulp.

boom!

With a crash, the wine jar suddenly fell from his hand and shattered into countless pieces, the clear fruit wine slowly flowing on the ground.

The mischievous monkey paid no attention to this, instead looking up at the faint, five-colored divine light in the sky.

“Jiang Ye…” it murmured, as memories of the past flooded its heart like a tide.

It lowered its head and remained silent for a long time before putting down the banana in its hand. Its eyes and expression changed completely from the dejected and mischievous monkey it had been just moments before.

It seems that the mighty Monkey King has returned.

"You saved my junior brother, and I promised to help him if he ever needed it!"

With a wave of his right hand, Sun Wukong slowly covered his body with a deep red cloak and golden chainmail.

He pinched his right hand near his ear, and a golden cudgel slowly flew out from it.

"Jiang Ye, it's me, Old Sun... who's come to help you!"

Boom!

With a resounding clang, Sun Wukong shot into the sky like a golden laser beam.

……

In the vast sea of ​​stars, the moon's silvery light was obscured by countless black figures.

Closest to the moon is the endless Heavenly Court, where the Night Watchmen, cloaked and neatly lined up, still stand outside the Southern Heavenly Gate.

"report!"

"speak!"

"Commander Zuo, I want to ask, is our enemy the Myriad Manifestations Celestial Venerable, who has saved the Great Xia from dire straits on numerous occasions?!"

Upon hearing this, Zuo Qing looked at the Night Watchman who had stepped forward. He had naturally heard the oath of the Great Xia gods earlier.

He paused for a moment, then said, "No! Our mission is to defend the moon to the death!"

"Anyone who wants to break the seal on the moon is our enemy!"

"clear!?"

“Understood…” The night watchman, with a complicated expression, slowly returned to the ranks.

Upon hearing this, the members of the Masked Man, Phoenix, and Squad 136 all looked extremely solemn.

Zuo Qing turned around and said nothing more, but looked at the gods of the Great Xia Dynasty and the Night Watchmen who had become gods in the distance.

The Night Watch and the Heavenly Court are the last line of defense for the moon; the second is the Great Xia gods, and the first is Yeland...

The second line of defense consisted of countless celestial beings riding on celestial clouds, all on high alert.

Only Nezha, riding on his Wind Fire Wheels, quietly left his battle position.

"Second Brother, do you really want to fight against the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations?" Nezha walked to Yang Jian's side.

The latter had already noticed his arrival and fell silent for a moment after hearing this.

"I knew those damn gods were up to no good!"

Nezha said indignantly, "You should have seen how many times the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations has protected the Great Xia Dynasty."

"Second Brother, why should we obey the orders of these heartless gods? Let's rebel!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Jian frowned, but unusually did not refute it.

Perhaps the world has forgotten, but he knows better than anyone that the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations resurrected Cangnan and saved the gods from dire straits on numerous occasions...

To put it bluntly, the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations can be considered his benefactor.

Now, because of his position, he is forced to stand on the opposite side of Him and commit an act of ingratitude.

Yang Jian frowned. Could he really do this? Would he actually do it? How should he do it?

He kept questioning his own heart.

Before the gods.

"Heavenly Venerable, he's here. Can Yeland and the other two stop him?" The Jade Emperor asked worriedly as he watched the five-colored divine light approach.

If Yeland, Garan, and Lingbao couldn't stop them, then the gods of Heaven would naturally find it difficult to resist, let alone the Night Watchmen behind them.

Yuanshi Tianzun glanced at him indifferently and said, "Your Majesty, for the sake of the greater good, we are all pawns to be sacrificed."

"Whether it's blocked or not, it doesn't matter!"

Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor closed his eyes and sighed.

The Primordial Celestial Lord's gaze swept over everything, "They've arrived!"

……

In the dark and silent universe.

Enveloped in five-colored divine light, Jiang Ye headed straight for the moon.

But when he saw three familiar figures blocking his way, he stopped in his tracks.

Jiang Ye hovered in the void, gazing at the gods and night watchmen of the Heavenly Court in the distance, before the moon, and frowned.

As the view gradually narrowed, pure holy light, the Yin-Yang Bagua diagram, and the [Immortal] light curtain came into Jiang Ye's field of vision.

He looked at Yeland, Jialan, and Lingbao Tianzun, his expression changing slightly.

"you……"

"Jiang Ye!" Before Jiang Ye could finish speaking, Jia Lan, dressed in a blue Hanfu, angrily rebuked, "Qi Ye trusted you so much, why did you harm him?!"

"You know his consciousness is being eroded? You know he'll disappear completely?!"

Ok? !

Jiang Ye was stunned when he heard this.

"I..." He was speechless. What Jialan said was indeed true.

He couldn't deny that he was replacing Azathoth and assimilating Lin Qiye.

“I know, that’s why I will save him!” Jiang Ye stared at the three of them and spoke slowly.

"Save me!?" Garan laughed. "What will you use to save me?"

Jiang Ye was silent for a moment, then looked up at the moon, "Open the seal on the moon, and let me destroy the Cthulhu gods..."

"Enough!" Jialan suddenly roared, interrupting Jiang Ye, "Are you still going to put on an act!"

"You want to break the seal on the moon and let Cthulhu destroy this world? Don't think I don't know who you are!"

“Azathoth!” Garan said, enunciating each word clearly.

Jiang Ye was taken aback, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes. How did they know?

This matter, apart from Azathoth and Chaos, should be something no one else could have done...

No, Jiang Ye's gaze swept over the night watchmen standing in front of the South Heavenly Gate and landed on An Qingyu.

[Key to the Gate]... It shouldn't have awakened so quickly!

Jiang Ye sighed, glanced at the three of them, and said, "I don't want to lay a hand on you. Get out of my way!"

He knew that he was Azathoth's contractor, and they would never let him pass.

But if a real fight breaks out, many people will die!

Including Squad 136, Sword Saint, and the arrogant guy...

Jiang Ye didn't want to see this happen. As long as he could refine the 'Cthulhu' gods with the Heart of Purification and reach ten million in the Modification Value, everything could be turned around.

"Are you dreaming? Qi Ye trusted you so much, you..."

"Jialan, let me do it!" At this moment, Lingbao Tianzun, who had been silent all along, interrupted Jialan.

The latter glared at Jiang Ye resentfully and then fell silent.

Lingbao Tianzun stepped forward and walked up to Jiang Ye.

The two exchanged a glance, and Lingbao smiled.

"Brother Jiangye, I only have one question for you!"

"Are you Azathoth? Or an incarnation of Azathoth?" Lingbao Tianzun's voice trembled.

He stared intently at Jiang Ye, awaiting his reply.

Jiang Ye looked into Lingbao Tianzun's eyes and fell into silence and confusion.

Finally, he took a deep breath and nodded.

"Fatty, I don't want to lie to you."

"Because I once lied to the person I trusted most in order to gain power."

“But he didn’t blame me; instead, he still believed me, so I don’t want to lie to you.”

Jiang Ye slowly said, "But I can save Lin Qiye. I didn't lie to you about that..."

"Enough said." Lingbao Tianzun slowly stepped back, his eyes filled with suspicion. "Deceitful one, troublemaker! From this day forward, you and I are enemies!"

Jiang Ye froze, his eyes trembling, but he didn't explain anything further.

If faced with the choice between saving Lin Qiye and killing him, he would choose the former without hesitation, just as Lin Qiye had trusted him without hesitation back then.

boom--!

However, the next moment, Garan suddenly rushed out from behind, his fist slicing through the void and causing it to crack open in countless ways.

The punch slammed heavily into Jiang Ye's chest, unleashing the full power of a half-step dimensional ascension, as well as years of resentment.

Jiang Ye calmly reached out and grasped Jia Lan's fist, preventing him from advancing an inch.

He looked at Jialan, his eyes narrowing slightly.

From the very beginning, his existence was the evil of this world, so why should they be asked to believe?

As long as Lin Qiye believes in himself, that's enough!

Buzz!

With boundless divine power erupting, Garan pulled his fist from Jiang Ye's palm and threw another punch.

"Jiang Ye, do you know how much effort we put into these 120 million+ cycles?!"

Garan roared as his fists rained down.

But Jiang Ye easily defused all of them. Hearing Jia Lan's words, Jiang Ye remained silent.

"Do you know how much pain Seven Nights endured to prevent the Fifth Universe from being devoured by Azathoth?!"

"Because of you! Because of you!"

"Because of your appearance, all of Qiye's efforts, through more than 120 million cycles, have vanished into nothingness!"

Garan continued to throw punches, his speed increasing.

"You still expect us to believe you? What makes you think we should believe you?!"

"Because of your identity as an avatar of Azathoth, and because you knew that disrupting the dream cycle would cause Azathoth's consciousness to awaken, you still chose to destroy it!"

"Do you think you've lived up to Qiye's trust?! Tell me! Do you think you have?!"

Garan unleashed a punch in a fit of rage and roared at Jiang Ye.

Jiang Ye remained silent, whether out of consideration for his teammates or out of guilt towards Lin Qiye, he did not immediately retaliate.

"I'm saying this one last time, get out of the way! Otherwise... you'll die!" He grabbed Garan's fists, his voice cold.

He didn't want to take action against Nightfall or the people of Great Xia because he was born in Great Xia, and Nightfall was founded by Lin Qiye.

He didn't want to ruin all of this!

But if there's no other choice, then fight!

"You...you really have no conscience!!"

Garan struggled to pull out his fists, tears welling up in his eyes.

"You have betrayed Qiye's trust!!"

Garan took a half step back, and terrifying divine power surged from his body, gathering in his fist.

As the fist gathered its power, the entire galaxy trembled and twisted into a vortex, causing countless meteorites around it to explode instantly.

Garan slowly raised his arm, and the terrifying power caused space to distort and deform, with countless cracks spreading in the void like a spider web.

"Pay the price for what you've done!"

The moment the fist was thrown, an invisible ripple spread outwards from Garan as the center.

Wherever it went, the void tore apart, and stars exploded, turning into dazzling nebulae.

Jiang Ye stood in the starry sky, his eyes reflecting the terrifying force of the punch, his face expressionless.

Blue and white divine power slowly emanated from his body, and his eyes were one blue and one black.

"Lin Qiye, I always keep my word."

Jiang Ye stared at the terrifying force of the punch, and was about to raise his arm when...

A deep red hue of night suddenly flashed before him, and the night transformed into a dignified and elegant woman who opened her arms and embraced Jiang Ye.

"Don't be afraid, child, your mother will protect you."

Nyx's gentle voice rang in his ears, and Jiang Ye froze, his arm hanging in mid-air.

Mother!

Nyx closed his eyes and leaned on Jiang Ye's shoulder, seemingly trying to block the terrifying force of Jialan's punch.

Jiang Ye gently placed one hand on Nyx's back and, with a slight force, shifted Nyx's body.

The other hand, imbued with blue and white divine power, grasped the terrifying fist force and gently squeezed it!

The force of the rapidly approaching punch exploded around the two of them.

Instantly, all the sunlight emitted was distorted and swallowed up, forming a terrifying dark area.

The distant galaxies began to tilt and deform under the impact of this force, and countless stars broke free of their orbits, collided with each other, and burst into dazzling light.

Behind them, the gods of the Great Xia Dynasty, witnessing this scene, all showed expressions of shock.

"What... what kind of power is this? It can actually shatter that entire star system! Even a Celestial Venerable is no match for it!"

"The woman who threw the punch seems to be one of the humans who came to the Heavenly Court last time. She's been hiding her identity for too long."

"Alas! With such terrifying fist power, the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations is probably already..."

"..."

The gods gazed at the collapsed star field and sighed.

Garan's punch was beyond their comprehension, even more terrifying than the two decrees issued by the Heavenly Venerable of Myriad Manifestations.

While it may not be accurate to say that Jialan's strength surpasses that of the Myriad Manifestations Celestial Venerable, it is certainly comparable.

With both Yeland and Lingbao Tianzun present, it will be very difficult for Wanxiang Tianzun to win!

"If it's so easy, why didn't the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations resist?" Before the gods, the Jade Emperor looked at the collapsed star field, shocked and puzzled.

“Your Majesty!” The Supreme Lord of Morality shook his head. “Galan’s attack had no effect whatsoever.”

The Jade Emperor was taken aback. "Huh?"

"Your Majesty, take a closer look." Yuanshi Tianzun pointed to that star field.

The Jade Emperor frowned, his eyes fixed on that star field.

In the collapsed star field, a blue-white divine light flickered in the dark, reversed space, becoming increasingly clear.

"Lingbao, Yeland, what are you waiting for!" Jialan turned to look at the two.

She knew she was no match for Jiang Ye, and that punch couldn't possibly kill him.

"Lingbao, get ready to make your move." Yeland stepped forward and patted Lingbao Tianzun on the shoulder, his body bursting with endless holy light.

Lingbao Tianzun glanced at the blue and white divine light, stepped his right foot into the void, and the Yin-Yang Bagua diagram slowly unfolded in the void.

hum!

At this moment, within that collapsed star field, the fluctuations of blue and white divine power swept outwards.

A chilling divine thought resounded throughout the starry sky!

"If you do not retreat within three breaths!"

"This starry sky is where you will be buried!"
