579: Another account-settling sage?

“Hahaha!”

“Brother Qin, you really do have some connections!”

“To think, you even managed to invite him.”

Yang Jian looked at the giant.

The giant was a hundred zhang tall, like a towering mountain standing between heaven and earth, as tall as he and Qin Yang when they activated their Heaven and Earth Phenomenon.

His muscles were taut and well-defined, displaying unparalleled power and dominance.

His massive physique exuded endless strength and majesty, so formidable it inspired awe.

Ancient totems and inscriptions were tattooed on his bulging arms, and his eyes were like two fiery red gems, emitting a scorching gaze.

When he stared, Yang Jian felt a stinging pain in his eyes, as if his Divine Soul was being pierced by an ancient existence.

Yang Jian slightly closed his eyes, his Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade still pressing against the Human Emperor Avatar's throat, but in his heart, he laughed boisterously, extremely excited.

That's right, standing before Yang Jian was...

Besides Qin Yang, the closest ancient Human Race to a Human Emperor, the Lord of War Chi You.

After sacrificing himself in the Nine Li Wildfire to reforge the xuanyuan sword, Chi You had been dormant within the sword.

Later, during the Ascension War, Qin Yang killed the God of War within the Human Emperor Domain.

It was then that the Lord of War Chi You in the xuanyuan sword finally awakened.

He sensed that the War God's body, nurtured by Source Power, could be used to reforge his Physical Body.

Thus, the God of War's body was left by Qin Yang in the Human Emperor Domain.

During this time, Chi You also completed the reforging of his Physical Body in the Human Emperor Domain, kept as another hidden trump card for Qin Yang.

Now, it was time to play this trump card.

Unlike Qin Yang...

Chi You was an ancient Human Race.

Before him, even Yang Jian had to nod and respectfully address him as Senior.

After all, in ancient times, there was not much difference between humans and gods.

They all possessed boundless power, chasing the sun, moving mountains, filling seas, and controlling floods.

Later generations of Human Race would always attribute natural disasters to Divine Might.

Whenever disaster struck, they would only bow down and pray for the heavens' mercy.

However, in ancient times, all disasters between heaven and earth were merely the heavens' unreasonable tantrums.

This was a sickness that needed to be cured!

This was the origin of that saying—

The Huaxia people do not grant gods the power to lord over humanity.

“This is truly too much! You called out an ancient Human Race, how am I supposed to fight now?”

Yang Jian transmitted a message to Qin Yang, his words a complaint on the surface, but his tone was one of joyous exhilaration.

“When two children fight, you call your uncle, and I call my ancestor. What's so excessive about that?”

At this moment, Qin Yang was still pinned to the ground by the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade, but the situation had already turned.

No choice... when Chi You and Xuanyuan fought for supremacy, more than half of the immortals in the heavens had not yet entered Reincarnation.

This time, even with the Heavenly Dao Avatar's blessing, he might not be Qin Yang's opponent.

Even if Nezha descended to the Lower Realm, he might not have a chance of winning.

Thinking of this, Yang Jian showed a wry smile and said, “Tell your ancestor to go easy.”

“Why is Chi You in this world!?”

At the South Heaven Gate, Jiang Ziya's face turned ashen with shock upon seeing the Lord of War Chi You.

When the ancient Human Race governed the Human Realm, the Heavenly Court system was not yet complete.

At that time, heaven was heaven, and earth was earth.

Although the gods permeated the Human Realm with the Jianmu Tree...

The Human Realm was still an independent existence to the Heavenly Realm.

Moreover, the ancient Human Race was no weaker than immortals and gods, especially the Human Emperors who could condense the Luck of the Human Race.

The Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan, the Yan Emperor Shennong, the Xuan Emperor Zhuanxu... which one of them wasn't a great power with boundless abilities?

And the Chi You who appeared now was even someone who could fight Xuanyuan to a draw.

His appearance truly surprised the gods of the Heavenly Court.

However, the Heavenly Emperor did not react much to Chi You's appearance.

He merely tilted his head slightly, resting it on his fist, and leisurely said, “This is not a physical entity, merely a projection.”

Jiang Ziya bowed from afar, “Heavenly Emperor, even if it is just a projection, the strength of the ancient Human Race should not be underestimated. I hope the Heavenly Emperor can act again and bestow more Divine Might upon Yang Jian.”

“Enough,”

The Heavenly Emperor waved his hand and said, “I see that the Evil Emperor has already grown formidable. If Yang Jian cannot hold on until the Heavenly Gate opens, then it means the Heavenly Court is destined to face this calamity.”

“What?”

Hearing this, Jiang Ziya was stunned in disbelief.

Did the Heavenly Emperor mean he was abandoning Yang Jian?

What about the Jianmu Tree?

If Yang Jian was defeated, the Jianmu Tree would surely be cut down by Qin Yang, and how would the gods descend to the Lower Realm then?

Had all their previous efforts been in vain?

Jiang Ziya immediately cupped his hands and said, “If Yang Jian is defeated, the Jianmu Tree will certainly not be saved, and won't the chess game you set up be broken?”

“If I forcefully infuse Divine Might, that world will also tear apart, and the Jianmu Tree still won't be saved.”

In the sky, the gigantic illusory figure of the Heavenly Emperor stood up, seemingly intending to leave.

Seeing the Heavenly Emperor about to leave, Jiang Ziya anxiously took two steps forward and said, “Since the Evil Emperor has already grown formidable, he should be eradicated even more. Otherwise, once the Evil Emperor returns to his position, he will surely rebel against the Heavenly Court and slaughter immortals and gods to avenge the past!”

“Rebel against the Heavenly Court? Let him come.”

The Heavenly Emperor glanced at Jiang Ziya and said, “My Lingxiao Palace hasn't been without guests before.”

“This...”

Jiang Ziya was speechless.

He felt... the Heavenly Emperor seemed not to be in a hurry at all.

As if the Human Emperor's return to his position had nothing to do with him.

Was he not afraid that the Human Emperor would come up and seize the Human Realm from his hands?

Even if the Heavenly Emperor was confident in resisting the Human Emperor's counterattack, he himself didn't have that ability!

The Battle of the Investiture of the Gods was executed by him personally.

If the Human Emperor attacked the Heavenly Court, would he spare him?

Thinking of this, Jiang Ziya grew more and more frightened.

He had heard people say that when the Great Sage Equal to Heaven attacked the Heavenly Court back then, someone deliberately let him through, specifically to balance the books.

This rumor really had some merit.

Otherwise...

Why was it that only Wang Lingguan of the Thunder Department blocked his path?

Where were the other gods of the Thunder Department?

Moreover, the monkey had already entered the Lingxiao Palace, yet the Heavenly Emperor still did not act.

From many suspicious points, the Havoc in Heaven calamity was extremely difficult to explain.

It was indeed possible that someone intentionally let the monkey in to balance the books.

But who would dare to do such a thing?

Such a audacious person could only be the Heavenly Emperor, right?

The so-called Havoc in Heaven was merely a chess game set up by the Heavenly Emperor to achieve his goals.

Thinking of these things, Jiang Ziya couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

The current situation was very similar to the Havoc in Heaven!
