Why did you provoke her? Even Heaven itself is afraid of her.

In order to buy time for Xue Tutian, the Styx Ancestor advised the Heavenly Dao, "In my opinion, you should wait a while. After I find Ling Yun and explain the matter, it will not be too late to recall them."

Heaven is not a fool, and immediately expressed its concerns.

"Ancestor Styx, what if Blood Slaughter Heaven attacks those ancient gods and heavenly soldiers and generals?"

"I don't think so!" To avoid arousing suspicion from the Heavenly Dao, the Styx Ancestor suggested, "Why don't you go back to the Underworld and take another look?"

Fearing he was no match for Xue Tutian, Tiandao replied to the Styx Ancestor, "Right now, stabilizing the Heavenly Realm is the most important thing. Go and inform Lingyun of the situation. I will guard the Heavenly Gate and prevent Xue Tutian from attacking the Heavenly Realm."

The Styx Ancestor thought to himself: If you're afraid of death, just be afraid of death. Why make it sound so high and mighty?

He readily agreed verbally: "Alright, Ancestor, I will set off for the Milky Way beyond the Thirty-Sixth Heaven right now."

in a blink.

The Styx Ancestor disappeared from the sight of the Heavenly Dao and headed straight for the outside of the Thirty-Sixth Heaven.

Heavenly Dao remained calm and returned to the Purple Cloud Palace.

"Dao Ancestor, Immortal Ancestor, Demon Ancestor, come to my Zixiao Palace immediately!"

To guard against any unforeseen circumstances, the Heavenly Dao immediately summoned his three most important disciples.

Swish!Swish!Swish!

The Dao Ancestor of the Tushita Palace, the Immortal Ancestor of the Yuxu Palace, and the Demon Ancestor of the Biyou Palace all came before the Heavenly Dao.

"Disciple pays homage to Master."

The will of Heaven is but a casual wave of its hand.

"The situation is urgent right now, so let's skip the formalities. I'm asking you all, have you prepared everything I asked you to prepare before?"

Daozu, as the eldest disciple, was the first to respond, saying, "Reporting to Master, this disciple has prepared all the necessary magical artifacts and elixirs, and is ready to use them immediately upon Master's decree."

Immortal Ancestor, as the second senior brother, followed closely behind: "Reporting to Master, this disciple has gathered all the necessary second and third generation disciples together. We are just waiting for Master's decree to attack the Heavenly Realm immediately."

As the junior disciple, the Demon Ancestor spoke last: "Reporting to Master, I have resurrected those ancient demons as you instructed. They are now residing in my Biyou Palace. They await Master's decree, and they will help us control the land and sea."

Heaven nodded in satisfaction.

"Very good. However, we need to change our target now. Turn our guns around and attack the underworld!"

Upon hearing this, the three brothers looked at each other, none of them understanding what the will of Heaven meant!

As the eldest disciple, Daozu took the initiative to ask, "Master, it's just a small underworld. Any one of the three disciples could easily subdue it. Why make such a fuss?"

The Heavenly Dao explained, "Right now, an invader from another universe has appeared in the Underworld. His Devouring Black Mist is extremely powerful; even I, your master, have suffered at his hands. Therefore, for the peace of our universe, I must eliminate him no matter the cost, to prevent him from leading more people to our universe in the future."

"This..." After pondering for a moment, the Immortal Ancestor tentatively asked the Heavenly Dao, "Master, I have something to say, please don't be angry."

"Speak freely, and even if you are wrong, I will not blame you."

The Immortal Ancestor then said, “Reporting to Master, the Human Ancestor Lingyun is about to wage war against the Creator. Why don’t we wait until they have decided the victor before considering how to deal with the invaders? At that time, we can let the victor go to their deaths. There is no need to sacrifice the disciples of our three sects.”

The Heavenly Dao angrily rebuked him, saying, "Second brother, if all the people in the Heavenly Realm thought like you, what future would the beings in our universe have? You are a dignified Heavenly Venerable, revered by billions of people. You can't just enjoy the incense offerings without considering the people who worship you, can you?"

The Immortal Ancestor hurriedly admitted his mistake.

"Master, please calm down. I misspoke. But Master, didn't you say before that all beings below the level of a sage are ants? At worst, we can rebuild the world when the time comes?"

Snapped!

Heaven, unable to contain its anger, actually slapped the Immortal Ancestor.

"How could I have taught such a selfish and self-serving disciple? I ask you, where did you get your current level of cultivation from?"

The Immortal Ancestor said aggrievedly, "Of course it was bestowed upon me by you, Master."

The Heavenly Dao continued, "Then why did I bestow this upon you three brothers, and not others?"

The Immortal Ancestor replied, “Because the three of us brothers made great contributions to stabilizing this universe in the post-primordial ancient god era. Our eldest brother founded the Human Sect, spreading the Dao and bringing order to the world. We, your disciple, established the Immortal Sect, making mortals stronger. Our youngest brother unified the demon race, enabling them to focus on cultivation and no longer wreak havoc on the human world.”

"Second brother, don't you understand this perfectly well? The reason I can bestow upon you supreme magical power and the position of Heavenly Venerable is because each of you three has accumulated great merit. People worship you, and you can enjoy a continuous stream of incense offerings."

The Heavenly Dao suddenly changed the subject.

"But have you ever thought about what you would do if you lost your own merits and people stopped worshipping you, and you could no longer receive offerings?"

The Immortal Ancestor replied, "That's simple. Destroy this world and create a new one, and the problem will be solved."

Snapped!

Unable to contain his anger, Heaven slapped him again.

"Are you out of your mind? Haven't you figured out the problem yet? Invaders from another universe have entered. We can no longer destroy this world and create a new one."

At this point, the Dao Ancestor realized the seriousness of the problem.

"Master, do you mean that if we don't strike first and eliminate that alien invader, he might bewitch people in the lower realm and make the entire human race believe in him? In that case, the tables will turn, and we will be in a passive position."

Heaven cast an approving glance at him.

"As expected of my beloved disciple, you see things clearly. That's right, the current situation is a danger for us, but also an unprecedented opportunity."

If we kill that alien invader before Lingyun and the Creator, we can obtain the greatest merit since the birth of this universe.

At that time, the Heart of the Universe, which was not mine, will become mine. As long as I truly control the Heart of this Universe, I will be the true master of this universe.

"Soaring clouds, the Creator—all will be trampled under my feet."

Upon learning of the situation, the Dao Ancestor, the Immortal Ancestor, and the Demon Ancestor immediately replied, "Thank you for your explanation, Master. We understand. We will now prepare and march on to the Underworld."

The Heavenly Dao sneered and said, "Don't rush to act. Just gather your forces to surround the entire Underworld. I still have one more move to make!"
