Chapter 1698 Gods Take Action
“That star… automatically disintegrated?” the Queen Mother of the West murmured.
Lin Qiye seemed to realize something, his brows tightly furrowed, “The harbinger of the Ke system deities… the omen of destruction… Damn it, from the beginning, it never intended to kill all the gods on Earth by itself. It deliberately lured the gods into space, then took the opportunity to disintegrate and destroy Earth’s living beings!
Its goal is to destroy Earth’s living beings on a large scale, thereby reducing the generation of faith power?”
During the first invasion of the Ke system gods, they were repelled by the Ancestral God who possessed vast amounts of faith. So for this second invasion, they directly sent the Death Star as a harbinger, intending to sacrifice it to destroy Earth’s living beings, just like the mist that slaughtered living beings across the globe during the third invasion!
The difference is that historically, the Death Star of the second invasion failed, but the mist of the third invasion succeeded.
“We must stop those fragments!” Lin Qiye immediately spoke.
“Then what about Kusu’un’s main body? Are we ignoring it?” Chloe asked.
“The casualties Kusu’un can cause now are limited, but those fragments falling from the sky are enough to destroy human civilization!” Lin Qiye didn’t hesitate at all, “With this willow branch, I can find it anytime. Let’s deal with the more important matter first.”
The Queen Mother of the West’s view was essentially the same as Lin Qiye’s. Her gaze fixed firmly on those dense fragments, she said gravely:
“There are too many… just within the Great Han territory alone, there are fourteen pieces, with the farthest at the eastern border…”
“Let’s split up,” Lin Qiye’s eyes flashed with light, “Earth should have other deities now besides us… but they’ll likely be guarding their own territories. The ones falling in the Great Han Dynasty’s territory can only be handled by us.
There are five fragments in the easternmost region, about six in the central area, and three nearby… but the Great Han territory is too vast. Can we make it in time?”
Everyone’s expressions immediately turned grim.
Even the Queen Mother of the West would need the time of burning an incense stick to cross from the westernmost to the easternmost part of the Great Han, let alone Lin Qiye, Huo Qubing, and Chloe who didn’t have the cloud-somersault… but if they waited that long, those fragments would have already crashed.
“We can make it!”
Chloe spoke resolutely, her mental power rapidly spreading as a white light flowed around her.
“Make a ‘covenant’ with me, my ability will consume faith to send you to where you need to go… we will definitely make it!”
Lin Qiye’s eyes brightened.
Of course, they still had 001 here, a top-tier god ruin approaching “omnipotence”!
“I will take the eastern side,” said the Queen Mother of the West.
“There are six fragments in the central area, the most numerous. Since Chloe and I are already here, we’ll go together,” Lin Qiye said, sitting in the carriage.
“I will stay here to deal with those three,” said Huo Qubing.
“Good.” The white light around Chloe grew brighter, and a sacred, inviolable aura emanated from her body. She swept her gaze over everyone and slowly said:
“With heaven and earth as witness, faith as medium, in ten breaths, we shall gaze at each other from the east, center, and west of the Great Han Dynasty.”
As her words fell, a shimmering white mark condensed from Chloe’s fingertips.
The next moment, two spatial vortices opened simultaneously, swallowing the Queen Mother of the West and Lin Qiye’s carriage!
With their disappearance, only a lonely carriage remained in the snow.
“My lord, what should we do?” Zhan Yuwu anxiously asked, looking up at the three star fragments rapidly approaching.
Huo Qubing slowly walked out of the carriage, his black and gold official robe fluttering in the wind. He raised both hands, and several mountains covered in snow around them began to violently shake!
Boom–!!
With a thunderous sound, the entire mountain range seemed to be uprooted by an invisible hand, rising into the air alongside Huo Qubing!
“Wait here for my return.”
As Huo Qubing’s words fell, the entire mountain range surrounded him, soaring skyward. The millennia-old snow piled on the peaks cascaded down, instantly obscuring the vision of those below.
Gongyang Wan and the others were simultaneously engulfed in the swirling snow.
By the time they struggled out of the snow, his figure had become a black dot, disappearing into the sky. A bolt of lightning flashed, and brilliant flames erupted from the three star fragments. It took a full ten seconds before the deafening roar reached everyone’s ears!
…
Central Great Han Dynasty.
A carriage flew out of a spatial vortex. Lin Qiye lifted the curtain, his gaze sweeping over the central lands below, and couldn’t help but marvel:
“Once a covenant is formed, it will be fulfilled no matter what… truly a convenient ability.”
Chloe turned her head, looking toward both west and east, a smile curling her lips, “Indeed, though replenishing the consumed faith will be troublesome.”
Lin Qiye looked at the six fragments blotting out the sky above, “Three each?”
“No problem.”
“You’ll have to carry me up on the wind. I can’t fly.”
“…Are you serious?”
“Causality hasn’t granted me the power of flight. I can’t exactly jump from here to the ionosphere, can I?”
“What sphere?”
“Just a very high place.”
“Fine, fine, let’s go!”
Chloe raised her hand, and two whirlwinds carried her and Lin Qiye’s bodies, transforming into two shooting stars that vanished into the sky above.
Wuquan controlled the carriage as it hovered in the air, watching the two departing figures, and sighed helplessly:
“Indeed, without reaching the human ceiling, I still can’t be of much help…”
As Lin Qiye ascended, the sky gradually turned black, and the surrounding air grew increasingly thin. At this height, he could clearly see the curvature of Earth’s surface, the distant oceans, and the outlines of lands even further away.
But Lin Qiye had no mind to appreciate the scenery now. Looking at the six rust-colored star fragments rapidly approaching, his brows furrowed tightly,
“Indeed, the Ke system aura is so strong… though not comparable to the Three Pillar Gods, it’s not far off.”
Just as he was about to strike and shatter these star fragments, a pure white light like a sword erupted from another continent at the distant horizon, instantly destroying several fragments about to fall on that land. The terrifying divine power rippled through the air, and even Lin Qiye and Chloe in the central Great Han could clearly feel it.
“It’s the Holy Lord!” Chloe’s eyes lit up with joy as she sensed this divine power!
Yerande had also taken action?
Besides this pure white pillar of light, divine lights also erupted from several other distant continents. Though not many, they were the ancient deities of various mythologies hidden on Earth in this era.
