Chapter 265: Injustice of Battle, the War of Gods Begins
Time ticked away, and the teapot in front of Chen Changsheng grew cold.
But he remained quietly seated.
After a long while, Chen Changsheng softly murmured, “System, is what I’m doing good or evil?”
Upon hearing this, an electronic voice echoed in Chen Changsheng’s mind.
“Host, you should be very clear, given your position and strength.”
“Emotions have never simply been a matter of good and evil, nor is there an absolute right or wrong.”
“With a command, thirty-three thousand living beings are sent to their deaths; from a mundane perspective, this immense karma is what you deserve.”
“This system has warned the host that emotions will only become a burden to your progress.”
“If you did not have these burdens, you would not be so entangled today.”
“Hahaha!”
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng laughed, and he laughed with great joy.
“System! System!”
“I thought I could refute your point, but I didn’t expect the slap in the face to come so quickly.”
“Let it be a burden; moving a little slower is no big deal.”
“Thirty-three thousand karma, others may not dare to take it, but I, Chen Changsheng, will take it.”
“Whether you hate me or understand me, someone must bear the burden in the end.”
Saying this, Chen Changsheng stood up and stretched lazily.
“System, how will this battle end?”
“The future is unpredictable; this system does not provide predictions for any circumstances.”
“Ha ha ha!”
“So sweetly said, but in reality, you know nothing.”
“The system may not understand the situation, but I do.”
“In the War of Gods, the Heavenly Court must attain victory, for this is the outcome exchanged for the sacrifice of thirty-three thousand living beings.”
Having said that, Chen Changsheng walked away.
He once again became the cold representative of the Heavenly Court.
……
The banquet of the Xuan Bird Clan was insignificant in the river of time.
However, following this banquet, the entire Crimson Realm began frantic preparations for war.
Sects, families, dynasties…
All powers related to cultivators moved under the orders of the Heavenly Court.
One after another, heavenly prodigies were mobilized into the army, and those with underlying strength were also brought forth.
Everyone was fully committed to preparing for this war.
The mighty army of thirty-three thousand cultivators took ten years just to assemble and arrange.
At the same time, an invisible, endless Great Wall was forged.
The construction of this Great Wall gathered the efforts of all the array formation masters in the Crimson Realm, and the resources consumed in the process were immeasurable.
Chen Changsheng was already aware of the entrance to the otherworld; this Great Wall was the final defense line.
……
Great Wall.
“Whoosh~”
Countless battle flags fluttered in the strong wind.
The army of thirty-three thousand cultivators quietly stood under the Great Wall, while Chen Changsheng stood alone atop the Great Wall.
Looking down at the army of cultivators below, Chen Changsheng’s expression was serious.
“Everyone, this battle concerns the survival of the entire Crimson Realm.”
“Life and d*ath depend on your thoughts.”
“The future of this realm rests in your hands.”
As his voice fell, an ancient coffin flew out.
“Boom!”
The coffin lid opened, and a skeletal corpse stood up.
A massive amount of spiritual energy surged into its mouth.
As the spiritual energy was absorbed, the withered corpse gradually regained some spirit.
“The War of Gods is a battle for all living beings.”
“Today, let me, Jin Yangzi, carve a bloody path for all living beings.”
Saying this, unparalleled power erupted from Jin Yangzi.
He plunged his hands fiercely into the Void and then exerted force.
“Ziss~”
The solid space was directly torn open by him, and behind the crack lay a vibrant city.
Feeling the powerful aura, the cultivators within the city immediately soared into the air.
“Who are you, and why…?”
The guardian of the city subconsciously asked a question.
But before he could finish, Jin Yangzi struck him with a palm, spraying bl**d mist everywhere.
Soon after, Jin Yangzi devoured all the living beings in the city.
After completing this act, Jin Yangzi’s body gradually dissipated, transforming into countless bl**d-red array patterns that sealed the spatial crack.
Seeing this scene, many cultivators tightened their grips on their weapons.
Jin Yangzi was the founding master of the Jin Yang Pavilion, and if counted, he was a figure from around eight thousand years ago.
If it wasn’t for this War of Gods, perhaps no one would know he was still alive.
An eight-thousand-year-old fossil fell within a moment.
Such an existence, under normal circumstances, would be enough to shake an entire continent.
Yet now, he was merely a vanguard.
“Whoosh~”
Exhaling a breath of turbid air, Qian Bao’er’s gaze became resolute.
“Shock Mountain Army, move out!”
With a single command, five hundred thousand cultivators commenced action.
Numerous masters from the Lamp of Life Realm flew into the otherworld first, setting up defensive formations to prevent the enemies from the otherworld from attacking.
As Qian Bao’er’s Shock Mountain Army set out, the remaining two hundred thousand troops also began to move.
Among these three hundred thousand living beings, some were aware that they would surely d*e, while others were completely oblivious.
No matter the situation, as they entered the otherworld, they would glance at Chen Changsheng standing on the city wall.
Because the War of Gods was initiated by this person.
……
Two days and a night.
All three hundred thousand cultivators had entered the otherworld.
When the last person entered, those outside swiftly began arranging formations at the passage.
Looking at the wide passage, Chen Changsheng remained silent.
“Sir, why did you summon someone like Jin Yangzi?”
Meng Yu furrowed her brows and walked over.
In response to Meng Yu’s inquiry, Chen Changsheng calmly replied, “The barrier between the two worlds is very solid; Jin Yangzi’s method of breaking through is unique.”
“If we don’t summon him, we would need to expend a much greater cost to break the barrier between the two worlds.”
“But he bl**d-sacrificed the living beings of a city!”
“That city must have had at least several hundred thousand living beings there.”
“I know, so what?”
“Those bl**d-red patterns are Jin Yangzi’s unique technique, the bl**d Transformation Great Method.”
“bl**d-sacrificing the living beings of a city can stabilize the passage between the two worlds.”
“Besides, I cannot find a better or more effective method.”
Hearing this, Meng Yu couldn’t help but tighten her fists.
“Sir, the War of Gods is a righteous battle; how can we create such slaughter? What difference is there between us and evil?”
“Who said the War of Gods is righteous?”
Chen Changsheng turned to Meng Yu and said, “From the moment I sent these three hundred thousand people to their deaths, this battle was destined not to be righteous.”
“Moreover, among these three hundred thousand, many are unaware they will surely d*e.”
“They were deceived into coming here; I had people trick them into coming.”
“Such a war cannot be called just!”
