175: Protoss melee

The earth-shattering news was this:

An Ancient God, tracing the River of Time upstream, had already arrived at the Land of the Other Shore and was locked in a cataclysmic battle with the Nine Burials God Clan!

At this moment,

apart from the Zhongyan Ancient Capital, where the Wuan Ancient Kingdom was located, which still maintained a deathly calm, the entire Land of the Other Shore had completely devolved into a boiling cauldron of flesh and blood.

As far as the eye could see, the sky was torn apart, and the earth had sunken.

The ancient beings of the Nine Burials God Clan and the False Gods who had descended from the Nine Heavens Divine Domain clashed and annihilated each other like two destructive torrents.

Wang Qing stood with his hands behind his back atop Formless Divine Peak, his robes flapping in the blood-soaked winds that swept around him.

He temporarily suppressed his obsession with uncovering the truth of his past life, and his cold Divine Thought spread out like an invisible tide, sweeping over every corner engulfed in war.

In an instant, the truth became clear.

God Ancestor Gu Cangyang was indeed one of the Ancient Gods!

This person had actually used a world-shaking spatial forbidden art of Sumeru Mustard Seed from the Hongmeng Sea to move the entire Nine Heavens Divine Domain to the Other Shore.

His goal was not only to ignite a full-scale war between the Nine Burials God Clan and the Nine Heavens Divine Domain but also to use their spilled divine blood as a sacrifice.

He intended to completely activate the Luck Chessboard that enveloped heaven and earth, attempting to open up an unprecedented new Realm with it!

After discerning all of this, Wang Qing's lips curled into a cold arc, with no intention of intervening.

Internal strife within the God Race, mutual slaughter—this was precisely the situation he was most pleased to see unfold.

Previously, he and Shen Shiyao had traced the River of Time backward but failed to find any trace of the Ancient God, which was why he had turned to search for Zhuge Yuanxi.

Now that the Ancient God had proactively revealed himself and ignited this catastrophe, it was like finding a pillow when sleepy, saving him countless efforts.

"Fight, slaughter to your heart's content."

"It would be best if you could all perish together; if not, a mutually destructive outcome is also excellent."

Wang Qing murmured, his eyes filled with the same derision one would show when looking down on ants.

He could simply sit idly on Formless Divine Peak and watch this dog-eat-dog spectacle.

Only when both sides had bled dry and were severely weakened would it be time for him to step in, clean up the mess, and reap the benefits.

At the same time, outside the Zhongyan Ancient Capital... the scene could no longer be described merely as "tragic."

Bloody winds and rains converged into a monstrous storm, and scorching divine blood surged across the ground like rivers.

Countless shattered corpses piled up into shocking mountains, and the sky-reaching Evil Qi dyed the heavens dark red.

This place was a living hell on earth!

In the Void Realm, thousands of Daoist Magic clashed.

They erupted with roars powerful enough to make the Origin of the Dao tremble, as if the entire Land of the Other Shore was about to collapse completely in this destructive frenzy.

Although the individual strength of the Nine Burials God Clan far surpassed the other side, the False Gods of the Nine Heavens Divine Domain seemed endless, filling the quality gap with sheer numbers.

However, most of the remnants floating in the sea of blood on the ground were still the broken bodies of False Gods.

Most of them only possessed cultivation from Transcendent First to Third Realm; resisting the nearly a thousand ancient beings of the Nine Burials God Clan, who were all above Transcendent Fifth Realm, was akin to a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

In the Hongmeng Sea, Transcendent beings were almost immortal.

But this place was the Other Shore!

The Power of the Other Shore transcended everything; so-called eternal life was merely a ridiculous joke under such immense power.

Furthermore, more than half of the Land of the Other Shore's territory had been integrated into the Luck Chessboard by Gu Cangyang.

All participants, whether from the Nine Burials God Clan or the False Gods of the Nine Heavens Divine Domain, had long since become pawns on the Luck Chessboard, to be manipulated at will.

Life and death were no longer their own!

Their value lay in continuously shedding divine blood in this insane slaughter.

Using life and Divine Soul as fuel to complete that mad sacrifice.

Gu Cangyang had completely lost his mind in his pursuit of that elusive legend beyond the Dao Exhaustion Realm!

He would not listen to any advice, completely disregarded any tragic cost, his heart filled only with an extreme, stubborn desire.

He absolutely had to use the divine blood of all living beings from both the Nine Burials God Clan and the Nine Heavens Divine Domain to water and activate his Luck Chessboard, completing this unprecedented, insane ritual!

He was that insane; all living beings in his eyes were merely pawns that could be sacrificed at any time.

On a broken, barren mountain peak, Master Wu Yan, Cave Master Shan Qiong, and Chu Moqian stood in silence.

After they secretly made their way to the Land of the Other Shore, they completely concealed their presence, not allowing anyone to discover them.

Until tens of thousands of years ago.

Gu Cangyang reversed the River of Time, using terrifying methods to bring the False Gods of the Nine Heavens Divine Domain to the Other Shore and declare war on the Nine Burials God Clan.

Only then did the three of them understand how truly insane Gu Cangyang was; to activate the Luck Chessboard, he had gone mad enough to use the Land of the Other Shore as a battlefield.

If Wang Qing were to return from the River of Time and witness this scene, the three of them guaranteed that Gu Cangyang would die a very miserable death.

After all, Master Wu Yan and the other two had been in the Land of the Other Shore for hundreds of thousands of years.

They were well aware of Wang Qing's various legends.

This was because Wang Qing was the sole tyrant of the Land of the Other Shore, and also the Lord of the Other Shore who created the Power of the Other Shore.

There were also rumors that Wang Qing possessed the power of the Void Realm.

Almost anyone who dared to defy Wang Qing would be incinerated by his Primordial Karma Flame.

Then, using the power of the Void Realm, he would forcibly erase all traces of them from the River of Time.

This method of erasing all traces from the River of Time could make any living being disappear out of thin air at any moment, and no one would remember their existence.

Master Wu Yan, Cave Master Shan Qiong, and Chu Moqian shuddered just thinking about it.

They no longer had any intention of opposing Wang Qing; they merely wished to quietly explore the path beyond the Dao Exhaustion Realm in the Land of the Other Shore.

But now that Gu Cangyang had instigated an internal war within the God Race, he would likely attract the attention of Wang Qing at the end of the River of Time.

It probably wouldn't be long before Wang Qing returned to the Land of the Other Shore, and then the fate of the Nine Burials God Clan and the Nine Heavens Divine Domain would be unimaginably tragic.

"Brother Chu, are you truly willing to abandon all the members of the Heavenly Fortune God Clan to be sacrificed?"

Master Wu Yan asked Chu Moqian beside him, his eyes full of doubt.

Hearing this, Chu Moqian gave a bitter smile, "Yi Bochang and Mo Yuan have already become Gu God's lackeys."

"The two of them, along with the Heavenly Fortune God Clan, Asura God Clan, and Nine Heavens Divine Clan, have become Gu Cangyang's subordinates."

"I can only detach myself from the God Race system; there's no need for me to get involved in this muddy water. Let them do whatever they want!"

"However arrogant Gu Cangyang is now, he will be just as miserable when Wang Qing returns."

After saying this,

Chu Moqian's smile grew even more bitter.

Master Wu Yan and Cave Master Shan Qiong exchanged glances, then fell into silence.

After all, if they were in Chu Moqian's shoes, they would also unhesitatingly detach themselves from the God Race system.

All because, before, they didn't know Wang Qing's terror.

Upon arriving at the Land of the Other Shore, the legends about Wang Qing were enough to make any living being fearful.

It was a fear that permeated their very bones; no one could even conceive of resisting him.

"Since you've said you want to detach from the God Race system, then let's observe the battle in secret!"

"When Wang Qing returns, we'll see how the situation develops, and then we'll decide whether to stay on the Other Shore or return to the Hongmeng Sea."

Master Wu Yan spoke his thoughts.

Chu Moqian and Cave Master Shan Qiong nodded, agreeing with Master Wu Yan's view, and decided to secretly observe the battle...
