The sky in Fanzhu brightened again.
Although it was nearing dusk, the reappearance of light still brought hope after the darkness.
"The light after darkness, for a moment, even the defiled land of India seemed to become vibrant with life."
A blurry figure stood on the cliff, looking at the setting sun, and uttered such a sigh.
He was like a shadow, with bizarre and colorful colors, seemingly changing at all times, with subtle fluctuations that revealed all kinds of worldly scenes and the changes in people's hearts in the mortal world.
"What do you think?" the blurry figure asked softly.
Behind him, a dark blue figure lay prostrate on the ground.
He wore a crown with five skulls, his hair was as red as fire, his upper body was covered in human skin and his lower body in tiger skin, and his whole body was dark blue, making him look ferocious and terrifying.
Even a mere phantom could reveal its inhuman terror; it was none other than the auspicious goddess Lakshmi, one of the evil deities.
However, at this moment, this evil god who once roamed the western regions of Dongxia was prostrate on the ground, and even his ferocious aura was restrained.
Although she did not raise her head, one could tell from the submissive look on Lakshmi's face.
"God is right."
The Lakshmi clan replied respectfully.
"Sigh, you're getting a bit boring."
The blurry figure shook its head slightly. "You've absorbed the thoughts of people's hearts for so many years on the Eastern Xia-U-Tibet Plateau, yet you still haven't gained humanity. Indeed, humans are more interesting."
"It is I who have disappointed God," Lakshmi replied hastily.
Spirit beings grow stronger by devouring other spirits; all their kind are food that helps them grow. Therefore, they have a clear hierarchy, and everything is based on strength.
Lakshmi treats humans with the power of life and death, readily devouring them. However, she is extremely respectful to those of her kind who are far stronger than herself, fearing that she might be devoured by them.
Furthermore, since they are both spiritual beings, if one harbors malice, one may be sensed by a spiritual force far stronger than one's own.
Some beings can even fully understand the thoughts of the weak.
Especially the presence of Lakshmi, who is now facing a great freedom!
As the first spirit being to come into contact with Earth and the first to find a way to increase its strength, Da Zizai's power was unprecedented.
After becoming stronger, He devoured a large number of His kind in the spirit world, and even forced some of His kind to escape the spirit world forever.
The fact that the founding family of the Shinra Empire, the Kanji family, was able to successfully establish a pact with the evil god may well have been due to the presence of the Great Freedom factor.
The pact with Earth's humans, shaping their bloodline, was both to better receive their faith and to escape the spirit world and avoid Great Freedom.
As an evil god who was subdued by the Great Freedom decades ago, Lakshmi has a deep understanding of how powerful her master is.
Even though the Great Freedom of today has returned after being severely damaged and is theoretically far from its peak, Lakshmi dares not be the slightest bit presumptuous.
She didn't even dare to have the slightest disloyal thought.
"It's not your fault. Spirit beings don't have physical bodies, so they have fewer possibilities, and their emotional changes are far less than those of humans."
Da Zizai shook his head, then suddenly waved his hand, unleashing a streak of bloody light.
The crimson light landed on the phantom of the auspicious goddess, and rapidly transformed into flesh and blood tissue, growing at a visible speed.
In the blink of an eye, a real physical body replaced the phantom image of Lakshmi.
"this··...."
Lakshmi straightened up, looking at her palms in disbelief, her ten fingers unconsciously twitching.
She sensed something different from what she had felt before.
Even those who are overly attached to believers have never experienced these entirely new senses. These are various sensations from the physical body, completely different from the existence of the spirit.
"A suitable body for you," Da Zizai chuckled.
A physical body that perfectly matches the Goddess of Fortune, and whose strength is absolutely no weaker than that of a Heavenly Gate Warrior.
This was something that Palden Lhamo had sought for many years but could not obtain, yet it was easily bestowed upon her by the Great Freedom.
Furthermore... Da Zizai should be severely damaged by now.
The thought unconsciously surfaced in Palden Lhamo's mind, but she quickly composed herself and dared not think about it any further.
"Thank you, God." Lakshmi quickly kowtowed.
"This is a reward for you, and also a way to encourage you to become more interesting."
Da Zizai laughed and said, "Only the convergence of matter and spirit can create true power. Go, adapt to your new body."
Creating this physical body seems to have had no impact on his state of great freedom.
The tone of his voice conveyed a sense of ease and composure.
Lakshmi couldn't help but speculate about the state of Mahaprajna, then bowed again and retreated.
She was going to find her followers and then guide her entire consciousness to completely merge the body of the evil god with this physical body.
Da Zizai remained standing on the cliff, watching the sunset, or perhaps watching some place beneath the sunset.
"Koschae is currently preoccupied with its own plans, and the main body is unable to act on its own."
"Ananda's primordial spirit was injured and was devoured by the beastly nature of the serpent."
"The Myriad Transformations Demon was first severely injured by Bai Ze, and then your consciousness took the opportunity to erode and possess it. Now it is almost becoming your incarnation."
"Shouldn't you put aside your concerns and go find the vessel that my followers have shaped for me?"
"Da Zizai said in a playful tone."
Kosh, Ananda, and the Myriad Transformations Demon—these are the people the third divine enemy dug up from there by God.
Kosh'e acts solely for his own benefit, making him a cooperative ally. Ananda and the Myriad Transformations Demon were able to ascend to become evil gods and Heavenly Gate Warriors only with the help of the Third Divine Enemy.
Both of the latter showed complete loyalty to the third enemy.
However, the Third Enemy never truly trusted them.
Or rather, he never entrusted his trust to these former subordinates.
It wasn't that he felt he couldn't control these subordinates, but rather that he was wary of their former master, Yi Da Zizai.
The Third Divine Enemy has not forgotten that the reason he became like this is because of Great Freedom.
Although the Third Divine Enemy is now completely different from his former self, his wariness of Great Freedom will never change.
Therefore, even though it was known that the followers of the Great Freedom were constantly collecting essence and blood to create a physical body, the Third Enemy never touched it.
But now that Bai Ze has obtained the original demonic blood, he may be able to find the flaws in the third divine enemy's cultivation technique.
Even if you can't find a weakness, you can still come up with some ways to counter it.
In order to obtain the demonic blood as soon as possible, the third enemy seems to have no choice but to take a risk.
Moreover, Kosh'e, Ananda, and the Myriad Transformations Demon were either unable to move or were injured, and could not be used by the Great Freedom to deal with him.
This seems like an excellent opportunity!
"I look forward to your actions, Shang Qingyang."
"And Bai Ze, will you become my backup body?"
"Even after so many years, humanity is still so fascinating, making us so eager to see what changes will happen next."
Da Zizai let out an amused laugh, and his blurry figure slowly disappeared into the sunset.
Under the same setting sun, Bai Ze looked up at the sky and sighed softly.
"Ugh!"
Regarding the previous series of battles, as well as matters related to the Third Divine Enemy and Kosh'e, the Eastern Xia and Ursus sides need to hold talks.
This temporarily saved Bai Ze from being dragged into the chaos.
However, both Ekaterina and Mu Yaoguang had sufficient status to participate in the important matters of both sides, so they were also present at this meeting.
.....
.....
On the flattened mountain peak, with Bai Ze at the center, Mu Yaoguang and Cheng Peng are on the left, and Yekaterina and the military strategist are on the right.
The two women looked at each other, both with unreadable expressions.
Cheng Peng sat quietly on the stone pier carved from a large rock, like a stone statue, while the military strategist scrutinized Huang Mao with eyes as sharp as a knife.
He was careless before, only thinking about whether the blond guy would pose a threat to Ursus, not realizing that the blond guy actually had other women.
Although in Ursus society, capable men are not immune to philandering, could Catherine's men be any different?
Being able to climb up to "Ursus's daughter" is the greatest blessing this blond guy has ever had, yet he still wants to have two women on his left and two on his right?
This time, even Ursus's brilliance couldn't win back the military strategist's favor.
Bai Ze also keenly noticed the strategist's piercing gaze, but he was thick-skinned and completely unafraid of the strategist's piercing stare.
Do you even know what the density of a white dwarf is?
Bai Ze felt that he could withstand a small-yield nuclear weapon to the face without any harm, let alone a mere glance.
He even looked at the military strategist and took the initiative to start the conversation, saying, "Joseph, who betrayed the enemies of Ursus, has been executed, but there may still be unrest within Ursus, because Kosh'e's involvement is indispensable in this incident."
"In my capacity as a council member of the Dongxia Martial Arts Association, I hereby promise to help Ursus stabilize its overseas regions in exchange for Ursus's support for the Izumo Wasteland in the Shanhai Realm, and to annihilate the Rift Sea Whale that threatens the Eastern Seas."
Military strategists would never allow direct interference in Ursus's internal affairs, so Bai Ze's approach was to help Ursus stabilize its external situation so that they could focus on resolving its internal problems without distraction.
Next, the major problem on the Izumo Wasteland will be solved.
At this moment, Dongxia is still fighting against the Shenluo Empire, and most of its high-level combat forces are concentrated there.
Although the Western Alliance has temporarily withdrawn from the battlefield, Eastern Xia currently only has one divine enemy left because Xia Changfeng is trapped in a spatial rift.
To avoid any unforeseen circumstances, we need even more advanced combat power than before.
Receiving Ursus's help at this time is undoubtedly a great thing.
Military strategists are also willing to support this.
Ursus is now destined to stand with Dongxia, or rather, with Bai Ze's side. Furthermore, if the spatial rift beneath the Steel Continent collapses, Ursus will also be greatly affected.
Their country is also a coastal country.
However, while we can offer help, we can't make promises so easily, or it would make our ally seem too cheap. It's best to build rapport a bit more.
In addition, military strategists also need to let Huang Mao know that trying to have his cake and eat it too carries the risk of a breakdown.
However, before the military strategist could speak, Ekaterina said, "That's fine, but we need Director Bai Ze as an envoy to conduct a formal interview in Ursus and help us uncover the Great Freedom Demon Cult and the henchmen of Kosh'e. This person can only be Director Bai Ze, because we don't trust anyone else."
The military strategist's expression froze for a moment, then he showed approval.
Ursus definitely needs a cleanup.
The followers of the evil god are relatively easy to deal with because of Ursus's unique social structure, which prevents them from contacting the higher-ups. However, the henchmen of Kosh'e must be dealt with.
Previously, Koche's avatar did not appear before Joseph because his appearance would only backfire and provoke an attack from both sides.
Koche's lack of prominence in this incident does not mean he is not a threat.
On the contrary, Kosh'e is more threatening than any other existence to Ursus.
Moreover, this can also bring along the blond guy, letting him witness the powerful methods of Ursus's father-in-law.
As expected of my daughter, she balances both public and private matters; she's truly impressive.
Seeing the subtle change in the strategist's expression, Bai Ze knew that he had been persuaded by Catherine.
Bai Ze then looked at Ekaterina, "the daughter of Ursus," who winked at him.
It's as if it's saying, "See? I'm amazing!"
then-
"Bai Ze has only recently broken through and urgently needs to stabilize his realm. The Steel Continent also needs Bai Ze to oversee it."
Mu Yaoguang spoke calmly, saying, "How about this? I personally am willing to offer a portion of the 'Buddha Kingdom in the Palm' technique as payment for Ursus's assistance. As far as I know, your country's martial arts system is based on faith, and the most crucial part of it was developed from 'Mahayana Buddhism'."
The Mahayana Buddhist Path is part of the Buddha Kingdom in the Palm of Your Hand. Catherine's strength improved last time because she obtained the same source, the Sutra of the Holy King of the Wheel of Life. If she obtains another part this time, she will surely make another breakthrough.
Even the martial arts of the entire Ursus Orthodox Church will experience a breakthrough development.
Unlike the martial arts of Dongxia, the power system of Ursus is mainly led by the person at the very front.
A leader's presence and breakthroughs can also motivate those below to move forward.
Upon hearing this, the military strategist was tempted again.
The Ursus people are basically all born in the Year of the Rabbit, and everything they do is focused on strength and numbers, including their military strategists.
This move will benefit Catherine's subsequent breakthroughs and the development of the orthodox power system; it's a good thing.
"For the sake of Ursus, let's spare the blond guy for now..." "No problem, I can help Director Bai Ze stabilize his cultivation level."
Ekaterina brushed a strand of hair from the side of her face with her right hand. The unsealed Hand of God shone with golden light, complementing her long silver hair. "My Hand of God can even help Bai Ze advance further. We have experience with this kind of thing."
"Is that so?" Mu Yaoguang narrowed her eyes slightly and glanced at Bai Ze.
Her intuition told her that there was something unpleasant hidden in Ekaterina's words.
Bai Ze remained calm despite feeling a slight panic inside.
Ekaterina was referring to her first in-depth conversation with Bai Ze, something Mu Yaoguang was unaware of.
Or perhaps, Mu Yaoguang was unaware that Bai Ze's first time was with Catherine.
So, what should we do?
Seeing that Bai Ze didn't speak, the scene became somewhat silent for a moment.
Seeing this, Cheng Peng, who had been pretending to be a stone man, further concealed his presence so as not to disturb this good show.
This is amazing! It's even more exciting than the battle against Joseph! This is exactly what I want to see.
