Though the Heavenly Demon Emperor had yet to act against Wangu Realm, his external expansion and suppression hadn’t stopped. Many armies divided into groups, attacking pre-targeted planes.
For Jun Changxiao, this was an opportunity to rapidly provide aid, thereby elevating the plane’s reputation and prestige, letting the entire upper cosmos understand who was doing real work and who was slacking.
That’s right.
Just slacking.
Many factions had no real intention of resisting the Heavenly Demon Emperor.
They only hoped to profit from this catastrophe. As for fighting desperately, that probably wouldn’t happen.
Jun Changxiao not only wanted to truly fight, but also to mobilize everyone, transforming them from slacker players into carry players.
Bluntly speaking.
Dog Sheng didn’t want to be a lone hero.
With the Heavenly Demon Emperor bringing calamity to the upper cosmos, they should unite all living beings to resist. They had the obligation and responsibility to participate.
Dog Sheng was particularly realistic, particularly genuine.
If it were other great heroes who saved the suffering and rescued the afflicted, they might shoulder everything themselves, face everything themselves. He absolutely wouldn’t. In confronting evil, all people’s strength must be gathered.
I don’t want to be a savior.
I also don’t hope that when facing oppression and danger, all the world can do is foolishly wait for a savior.
Precisely because this mindset existed, Jun Changxiao had fused several top-tier planes entirely. The purpose was singular: being a savior is fine, but you must provide strength!
“Sigh.”
The system sighed: “This is a savior who pursues fame, profit, and returns.”
“Nonsense.”
Jun Changxiao said: “Who would do it without benefits?”
“Aren’t you afraid Little Duo will criticize your values?” the system teased.
Jun Changxiao said disdainfully: “How can a modern person’s values be used to measure the values of a cruel world? What I can do is maintain my original heart, not commit utterly evil and conscienceless acts—that’s all.”
“…”
The system was speechless.
Saying the host was bad—he absolutely couldn’t be considered a good person.
Saying he was kind—though involving self-interest, he was still somewhat decent.
…
Huanghai Realm.
A quasi-first-grade plane.
The living beings and realm lord here were quite resolute. Facing the Heavenly Demon Emperor’s threats and intimidation, they chose to be shattered jade rather than intact tile—preferring death to submission!
There were many similar worlds that would rather choose death than submit.
Wasn’t surviving in degradation good?
For some people, better to die well than live poorly, but for others, even if their kneecaps were shattered, they must stand.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
Outside Huanghai Realm, shells bombarded the spatial barrier, ultimately tearing enormous gaps.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”
Over a hundred star warships charged in. After the lower cabins opened, Heavenly Demon soldiers with fierce faces and imposing physiques flew out.
“Hmph.”
The army commander sneered: “Daring to refuse our Emperor’s recruitment—today we’ll make you vanish into dust!”
“Kill—”
“Whew whew!”
In an instant, hundreds of thousands of Heavenly Demon Emperor soldiers erupted with cultivation, their eyes blood-red as they charged down.
In their eyes, since this plane refused the great Heavenly Demon Emperor, not even a blade of grass should be allowed to exist!
“People exist, realm exists; people perish, realm perishes!”
In Huanghai Realm’s main city, the realm lord roared.
The warriors who had long been standing ready all erupted with cultivation, revealed their weapons, their eyes showing resolve to die—even the children were the same.
No fear.
No terror.
Today, they would share life and death with their homeland, composing a tragic song.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
The Heavenly Demon Emperor’s great army couldn’t rely solely on soldiers for combat. After launching their offensive, over a hundred warships began frantically bombarding the plane’s major cities, attempting to completely dismantle all defensive lines.
“Crack crack crack!”
“Crack crack crack!”
City-protecting formations shattered one after another. What awaited the living beings was death.
The old, weak, women, and children hid in trembling houses, kneeling on the ground in prayer, beseeching heaven to send divine beings to help Huanghai Realm survive this tribulation.
Perhaps they were too devout, perhaps they moved heaven—just when the entire plane was in critical danger, a brilliant radiance streaked through the fractured spatial fissure.
“Hm?”
The Heavenly Demon great army about to commence slaughter instinctively halted, all gazing toward the suddenly arriving uninvited guest.
“Whoosh—”
A flowing light positioned itself across the firmament.
It was a massive mecha filled with technological aesthetics, standing proudly aloft, its flickering radiance dazzling like the sun.
“Clack!”
Raising a hand, drawing a sword.
“This Huanghai Realm—I will protect it!”
Jing Zhixiao’s voice transmitted from the Xiaotian God-Slaying Unit, very resonant, very passionate.
“Seeking death!”
The enemy army commander, though quite astonished, immediately ordered an attack directive. Over a hundred warships all turned their cannon muzzles toward that large mecha.
“Tch.”
Jing Zhixiao sneered.
He didn’t immediately attack, but instead contacted headquarters: “Permission to go all-out killing?”
“Granted.”
“Permission to destroy star warships?”
“Granted.”
“Permission to…”
“Why are you so full of nonsense? If you’re going to act, hurry up and act, stop dawdling!” Jun Changxiao, in the Wangu Unit’s cockpit, snatched the communicator and roared.
“Disciple obeys!”
Having obtained the Sect Master’s multiple permissions, Jing Zhixiao’s eyes gradually burned with intensity, then placing both hands on the control stick, he roared: “The performance begins!”
“Whoosh—”
As his words fell, the Xiaotian Unit instantly vanished.
Within the city below, Huanghai Realm warriors stared wide-eyed, because where the enemy warships gathered, an enormous ‘Z’-shaped sword mark gradually manifested.
“Bang!”
“Bang bang bang!”
In an instant, over ten warships shattered on the spot.
The resulting firelight illuminated the Xiaotian Unit’s back, allowing the world to clearly remember that number—sixty-six!
“This…”
The enemy commander was dumbfounded.
“Whoosh—” The Xiaotian Unit moved again, seemingly treading on rhythmic points as it flashed back and forth in midair, until it stood at the rear, the sword held in reverse hand flashing with brilliant luster.
“Boom boom!”
“Boom boom boom!”
Warships disintegrated and shattered, like dazzling light spheres.
In a short time, the Heavenly Demon Emperor’s over one hundred warships were destroyed by seventy to eighty percent.
“Die!”
Jing Zhixiao didn’t stop, instead locking onto that group of dazed hundreds of thousands of troops, directly swinging the giant sword to smash over.
“Whoosh!”
“Whoosh!”
Before long, the shattered void again ejected streams of flowing light—these were War Cavalry Hall elites led by Zhong Yi. When they arrived at the scene, only warship wreckage and enemy corpses remained across the entire plane.
“Apologies.”
Jing Zhixiao, helmet tucked under his arm, sat on the Xiaotian Unit’s shoulder, grinning: “You came too late.”
Every time there was a scene to appear in, either the mecha exploded or disintegrated.
This time, he finally properly showed off for once!
Am I proud?
“Sigh.”
Zhong Yi shook his head and sighed.
They truly wanted to arrive faster, but competing in speed with the Xiaotian Unit—they genuinely couldn’t match it.
…
The invading Heavenly Demon Emperor army’s strength wasn’t weak, yet they were completely annihilated by Jing Zhixiao piloting the Xiaotian Unit.
This deeply shocked Huanghai Realm’s living beings.
“Young friend!”
The realm lord personally brought high-ranking officials to pay respects: “Many thanks for the assistance!”
“The Sect Master once said, saving all living beings is Wangu Realm’s duty. You need not thank us.” Jing Zhixiao said.
“May I ask, young friend, who is your esteemed Sect Master?”
“Wangu Sect’s Sect Master—Jun Changxiao!”
The realm lord and all living beings immediately remembered this sect’s name and this Sect Master’s name.
“Ding! Congratulations host for dominating Huanghai Realm, conforming to main quest domination scope, completion progress 55%!”
“Only giving 5%?”
Disappointment appeared on Jun Changxiao’s face.
“Not bad.”
The system said: “At least it’s much better than 1%.”
“True.”
Jun Changxiao felt relieved, then transmitted: “Ask if they’re willing to establish an alliance relationship with my Wangu Realm to resist the Heavenly Demon Emperor together.”
“Alright.”
Jing Zhixiao immediately conveyed the Sect Master’s words to Huanghai Realm’s realm lord. After brief consideration, the latter’s expression became solemn: “If your realm doesn’t disdain us, we are willing to go through fire and water, spare no effort!”
On this day.
Wangu Realm finally had a cooperative partner.
Of course.
This was merely the first, not the last.
Jun Changxiao was determined to unite more planes in the shortest time, gather more strength to battle the Heavenly Demon Emperor until dawn!
