Zhang Yuanqing shrugged, "You said your life was in the hands of your companions—well, just now, I'm pleased to find that my companions are quite good. Once they break your Ziwei Liu Sha array, I'll take care of you." He estimated that, at the current rate at which the main array was siphoning his spiritual energy, his Solar essence would be gradually pulled away by the combined forces of "Taiyin" and "Xingchen" within under six hours. Should he remain in active combat, his energy consumption would inevitably intensify, and perhaps even before six hours passed, the Ziwei Liu Sha array would fully absorb him. Rather than endure that, he would instead counter the main array's draining effects while waiting for his uncle and the Fenglei Dual Deities to break through the array. As soon as either his uncle or the Fenglei Deities succeeded in dismantling one of the arrays, his pressure would ease, and then he could assess the situation and decide whether to break the array or eliminate the Master of Xingchen. Of course, if during this time the Master of Xingchen successfully assimilates Taiyin and becomes a half-divine ruler of both essences, then he would have no The Lord of the Stars, already seeing through his intentions, spoke calmly: "To me, luck does not exist. What is called luck is merely variability. As long as I anticipate every move of my opponent and hold the course of all future developments in my hands, there is no variability." Pausing, he delivered his words in a voice devoid of emotion and grand in tone: "I have assigned the Warlord to deal with the Wind and Thunder Deities. The Warlord's 'Eye of Influence' will exacerbate the Wind and Thunder Deities' mental conditions, threatening your Solar Seal. Even if this fails, the Warlord can still leverage his positional advantage to contain the Wind and Thunder Deities. I have assigned the Wine God to face the Void. The spiritual realm's seal will no longer allow the Void to exchange for divine strength, and the knight's armor he holds has already been returned. Though the Wine God still falls short against the Void, he can effectively stall him through the complex and troublesome rules of disorder." "The enemies of the Northern School's Phantom Deity are the Deity of Beauty. In terms of status, the Deity of Beauty ranks one level higher than the Phantom Deity. Yet, lacking strong offensive power, the Deity of Beauty is outmatched by the Phantom Deity—whose ability to counter enchantments—resulting in consistent suppression but insufficient damage. In fact, your strongest ally should be Xie Family's Half-Deity. After acquiring the Spirit-Enchanting Pot, his status has been elevated to a Level 11 Half-Deity. Though his lawful order is weaker than evil, he is still capable of holding his own against the Spirit-Weaver's half-body of Zhulong, thus providing Zhulong with solid support. As for Fear and the Southern School's Phantom Deity, they merely need to stabilize their array and await the outcome." In the best-case scenario, only four of the auxiliary arrays will be broken, while two will still provide spiritual energy to the main array... Ah, the number of lawful Half-Deities is now insufficient... Zhang Yuanqing managed a somewhat strained smile. "You've analyzed everything so thoroughly. Then what should I say?" "The Master of the Stars spoke calmly: 'In truth, you could choose to support me. The Sun embodies order—what you cannot tolerate is the destruction of this planet, not the ideals of the feminine deities. As long as you overcome your psychological resistance, you can readily accept this. Then, upon surrendering the Sun's essence to me, I will guarantee that you and your family and friends can relocate to a suitable world. The universe is vast and boundless—there are countless worlds beyond those created by the deities. And I will surely uphold my promise. The Stars are only responsible for charting the evolution and development of the cosmos; destruction and slaughter are not my intention.' "You must have been thinking exactly this. Hm, why clothe your cold-blooded actions in the guise of order and balance? If you truly embodied order and justice, the correct course would be—after securing the Sovereign Mandate of the Spiritual Realm—close the Spiritual Realm, eliminate, seal, and eradicate all orderly deities, extinguishing the entire plan of orderly gods, allowing the life of this planet to flourish and evolve until it is naturally consumed by time. This, truly, is what a god should do—and this is precisely what I intend to do. Should I one day become the God of the Cosmic Origin and discover that the universe will inevitably perish, with no possibility of reversal, then I will calmly face this reality, suppress Hou Tian, and close the Spiritual Realm. I will never align myself with the malevolent deities from beyond the heavens to destroy this planet. Should they dare to extend their hands toward it, I will cut off their hands. Should they dare to gaze upon this planet, I will gouge out their eyes. This, then, is what I, the sovereign of the Sun, am meant to do." "Starlight, you have indeed not been corrupted by malevolent forces, but in my eyes, you are a true fallen one. You are unworthy of the Sun's essence, unworthy to become the sovereign of the Spiritual Realm." The Sovereign of Starlight remained silent, then offered a gentle smile. "Paths diverge, and thus, no alliance is formed!" Zhang Yuanqing spoke with solemn authority. "Indeed!" Starlight's Sovereign replied calmly. "Since you have chosen not to act, but instead to wait for the countdown of your life, I shall simply chat with you a little longer. I killed the mother of Ling Jun because of her unique status." The Master of the Purple Azure Six Evils commanded the array. Zhang Yuanqing asked with a tone of curiosity. "What made Ling Jun's mother so special?" The most extraordinary aspect of Ling Jun's mother's status was indeed her position as the eldest daughter of the Grand Elder of the Hundred Blossom Assembly! Yet in the eyes of the Sovereign of Starlight, this status was merely ordinary. Seated upon the dark "mire," the Sovereign of Starlight manipulated the array to strip away the Sun Sovereign's spiritual essence, while speaking, "When she was young "Following the old Marshal in sword practice... so his special status refers to being a disciple of the old Marshal's sword arts? Zhang Yuanqing had a vague sense of it. Then the Lord of the Stars sighed, saying: "The old Marshal now doubts me!" At that moment, a subtle voice from the spiritual realm resonated in his ears: 【Ping! The spiritual realm map is loading. In 30 seconds, you will enter the spiritual realm.

Jiang Yu’e, seated by the poolside pavilion, sipped the white tea prepared by Ms. Xie, her gaze fixed on the water, her brow furrowed, her mind preoccupied. Xie Lingxi sat She learned of the副本's activation from her elder sister, the Palace Mistress, and understood that the decisive battle between her brother Yuan Shi and the head of Tai Ming Sect had already begun, with the elder ancestor now entering the副本. The great clash between the Chaotic and the Lawful factions had officially commenced. From the Palace Mistress's demeanor, however, the situation appeared grim—yet since she didn't mention it, she dared not inquire further. Shi Mama glanced around, ready to offer some reassurance, when Jiang Yu E suddenly turned her head, as if listening to something. 【Ping! The spiritual realm map is loading. You will enter the spiritual realm in 30 seconds. This is your current spiritual realm: "Taiji Ziwei Liu Sha Array – Di Kong Star Array," Code: 0–6】 ... Songhai Airport. A single knight in a black sable coat, wearing glasses and carrying a luggage trolley, accompanied by his assistant, An Die Qi, stepped into the airport's departure hall. The hall was bustling with pedestrians, each carrying backpacks and luggage, moving swiftly from one end to the other. Zhai Cai was in a great mood, having learned from Fu Qingyang that the "Apocalypse Celebration" would not materialize. The Sun Sovereign held the Merit Scroll, and as long as any member of the Evil faction dared to purchase even a single item at no cost, the Sun Sovereign could send them back to the Spiritual Realm. In short, as long as the Sun Sovereign and the Star Sovereign had not yet settled their rivalry, there would be no major upheavals in the real world. The battle among the half-gods, however, remained beyond his influence. "Ah, what a relief! No more back-and-forth between preserving mortals and making sacrifices!" Zhai Cai exclaimed with delight. Since the real world was stable, he naturally decided to return to Xinjie Commandery—after all, his company employees were still waiting for him, the General Director, to return and take charge. An Dieqi, on the other hand, wasn't particularly cheerful. She pushed her glasses slightly and murmured, "Boss, from Fu Qingyang's reaction, it seems the Orderly faction doesn't have a strong chance. You're celebrating too early." Zhai Cai glanced at the woman's A third-rate life, but I'm pulling out all the stops—someone's got to bear the weight when the sky collapses. "What if I can't bear it?" "Then we all go down together—everyone's wiped out, and that's just as good as no one being left." Zhai Cai shrugged. "Honestly, I'm not going to make it." As he spoke, he suddenly stopped mid-step, frozen in place, his face pale with fear. An Diao Qi also halted, looking puzzled. "Boss, what's wrong?" Zhai Cai's neck stiffened as he slowly turned his head, fixing his gaze on the female assistant, his voice trembling. "Diao Qi, if anything happens to me, you must make sure that box of five-million-federal-coin wristwatches—limited editions—is kept safe. Those are all special editions..." An Diao Qi furrowed her brows. "What exactly is going on?" Zhai Cai said it with the poignancy of a heart broken beyond repair. "I'm entering a half-divine realm quest..." ... Jiangnan Leather City. The villa's balcony. After just learning from Fu Qingyang that Yuanshishen has assimilated the Merit Scroll, Xiahou Ao Tian, who had hoped for major upheavals in the real world, looked at the three-inch black iron tripod in his palm, expressing regret: "It's a pity. I've only just forged this supreme divine artifact, and I had intended to eliminate the apex rulers of the evil faction. Now, I'll have to settle for having my uncle manifest his divinity before the family." Xiaohou Aotian murmured, "A half-divine quest— I've matched with a half-divine quest! This is the quest where the Primordial Sovereign and the Lord of the Stars engage in battle. How is it that I've ended up with such a quest?" As he spoke, his body trembled, unsure whether it was fear or exhilaration. The Qin dynasty court magician was stunned, emitting an unprecedented surge of intense spiritual energy: "Quick, quick—remove me from here! Don't take me into the quest!" ... In the capital, an old alleyway. The tall, silver-haired official of the Red Sun Court, listening to the spiritual prompts drifting through his ears, furrowed his brows, hesitated. After a few moments, his gaze gradually grew resolute, as if having made up his mind.
