762: Gods off the list
Judging from the battle records of the four people and one dog, more than one-third of the thirty-six Thunder Generals have been eliminated.
But that's not true.
Those Thunder Generals not only have tough Physical Bodies, but their Primordial Spirits are even stronger.
Even if they are cut in half, they can recover within a certain period of time and return to the battlefield.
Only by exhausting their magical power can true 'elimination' be achieved.
Fortunately, Qin Yang's side has infinite healing.
Up until now, nine Thunder Generals have completely lost their combat effectiveness, and the Heavenly Soldiers are countless.
However, the status of Qin Yang and his four companions can be infinitely restored to their Peak.
Seeing victory close at hand, Qin Yang still had worries in his heart.
This battle has been going on for half a night.
This means that half a year has passed in the human world.
But the four of them have only just entered the South Heaven Gate.
If this continues, Qin Yang will truly miss the birth of his daughter.
This is still an optimistic estimate.
Currently, only the Generals of the Thunder Department have appeared.
Behind them are Li Jing's Nine Luminaries Star Officials, Twenty-Eight Constellations, Five Directions Revealers, Four Value Merit Officers, and others.
Although these are only second-rate combat forces, with the Star Array of the Dou Department and the Burning Prison of the Fire Department, they can also form a formidable wall.
In addition, there are the garrisons of the Five Great Emperors, the Imperial Guards directly under the Heavenly Emperor, and so on.
Even if I'm on unlimited fire, to fight my way up layer by layer... "It feels like it's going to take ten days to half a month..."
"This definitely won't do!"
Qin Yang said in his heart.
A country cannot be without a ruler for a day.
If he were to leave for more than ten years, not to mention his Beloved Consorts having to live as widows for ten years, he also couldn't guarantee the safety of Shenzhou for ten years.
After all, after being promoted to the Main God, Shenzhou has already attracted the attention of other Main Gods.
Currently, Shenzhou is only safe with him present.
Thinking of this, Qin Yang no longer wanted to deal with these Thunder Generals.
The Thunder Generals and Heavenly Soldiers were in a very abnormal state, all acting as if they were mad, completely fearless of death.
And after seeing Wen Zhong's Dao enlightenment and de-listing from the investiture of the gods, Qin Yang also understood what was going on.
After Wen Zhong was de-listed, he no longer attacked him, as if he had sobered up.
This indicates that the current Heavenly Soldiers and Generals are more or less controlled by the investiture of the gods.
"So..."
"Can I make them sober up?"
Qin Yang said to himself.
He recalled the battle of his ascension to the throne, where he projected Su Daji's "Bewilder the World" onto the sky, helping all humanity break free from the ideological imprint of "Gods are Supreme."
Perhaps this move could also work in the Heavenly Court!
After all, he and Su Daji are now tens of thousands of times stronger than they were back then.
Thinking of this, Qin Yang immediately took action and said to his three teammates: "Stop wasting time, protect our damage dealer, I'm going to do something big!"
With that, while summoning the kunlun mirror, he also called upon The Ultimate Enchantress, Su Daji.
Purple mist surged, outlining a human figure, and nine fox tails bloomed like flowers.
Su Daji stepped barefoot through the void, her gauze dress swirling into a flowing mist by the strong wind, her crimson bellyband resembling a pistil.
"Human Emperor, please feel free to command Daji."
Between her opening and closing crimson lips, mist swirled, and an extremely enchanting voice emerged.
"Hmph! Demon!"
"Don't even think about harming my elder brother!"
Sun Wukong felt the boundless Demonic Qi and immediately looked at Qin Yang.
Upon seeing Su Daji, he immediately wanted to swing his staff and attack.
The previous address of "Brother Qin" had also changed to "Brother Qin" after a display of Imperial Grace.
"This is your sister-in-law!"
Qin Yang immediately shouted back Sun Wukong, then pointed at Wen Zhong and said to Su Daji: "Imprint Wen Zhong's current state of mind."
"Yes."
Su Daji bowed slightly, then looked in the direction where Wen Zhong was.
After Su Daji was promoted to a Divine General with the Human Emperor, she also gained conceptual divine skills, reaching a masterful level in manipulating the mind.
With just a glance, she could discern one's spiritual insights and imprint them.
This is equivalent to replicating Luck.
Using this skill, Qin Yang could mass-replicate insights and create peerless powerhouses like Lin Xiaoer.
At the same time, Qin Yang could also use this skill to discern everyone's inner thoughts.
But now, he wanted to use this method to project Wen Zhong's insights from being de-listed, through the kunlun mirror, to every corner of the Heavenly Court.
If this plan succeeded, he would be able to bypass all obstacles.
Buzz!
Su Daji's charming eyes glowed with purple light, having already completed the imprinting of Wen Zhong's mind.
After that, she immediately looked at the kunlun mirror.
Instantly, the kunlun mirror shone brightly, projecting the imprinted de-listing insights towards the sky... Lingxiao Palace,
The Heavenly Emperor and his Heart Demon were still in a standoff.
However, there was a slight difference in their expressions.
The Heavenly Emperor's sword-like brows were tightly furrowed, his expression anxious.
His Heart Demon, however, was at ease.
The Heavenly Emperor still underestimated the power of the investiture of the gods.
He originally thought that at least half of the gods in the Heavenly Court wanted to break free from the shackles of the investiture of the gods.
But he didn't expect that when they were truly about to lose their divine positions, their Heart Demons were stirred up one by one.
It is evident that there is no difference between immortals and humans.
When their divine positions were stable, they complained that the divine positions limited their potential.
When their divine positions were not secure, they worried about the future.
And it was this worry that gave the Heart Demon an opportunity.
The Heavenly Emperor, who was currently in a standoff with his Heart Demon, could completely understand this.
He was worried that after losing the investiture of the gods, he would not be able to effectively rule the Three Realms, thus giving rise to a desire for absolute power and nurturing a Heart Demon that was difficult to resist.
"If the investiture of the gods is not removed, everyone in the Heavenly Court will become a demon."
The Heavenly Emperor took a deep breath, his resolve in his heart growing firmer.
However, his current self was merely a manifestation of a thought.
He had the determination to tear down the list, and his Heart Demon also had the determination to protect the list.
In fact, they were fundamentally one entity;
They had merely split into two thoughts, each viewing the other as a Heart Demon.
And now, the Heart Demon, seeing that the gods subconsciously clung to their divine positions, became even more convinced of its own choice.
"The gods of the Heavenly Court have already proven with their actions that you are wrong."
The Heavenly Emperor's Heart Demon smiled complacently, pointing to the scene of slaughter manifesting in the Lingxiao Palace, and said: "The immortals and gods, even if they bleed across the sky, will stop the Human Emperor."
"They are merely being provoked by their Heart Demons."
The Heavenly Emperor's heart was troubled, but his expression remained calm as he said: "They cannot stop the Human Emperor; the Human Emperor will surely reach the Lingxiao Palace."
"I admit, he is very strong."
The Heart Demon shrugged and said: "But the stronger he is, the more the immortals and gods will not want to give up their divine positions, therefore... even if he reaches here, he won't be able to tear down the list."
The Heavenly Emperor's gaze sharpened as he looked at the Heart Demon: "What does that mean?"
"The investiture of the gods is in the heart of every immortal and god."
The Heart Demon smiled complacently, as if it had already won.
"Actually, you already understand in your heart."
"The immortals and gods wanted to break free from their shackles, believing that they had secured their divine positions..."
"But through their confrontation with the Human Emperor, they realized that their positions were far from stable."
"At this point, neither humans nor gods would ever think of seeking higher."
"Instead... they would try to preserve everything they currently possess, and this is the origin of the Heart Demon."
"As long as the thought of preserving their divine positions remains, even if the investiture of the gods turns to dust, it will still reform."
Hearing this, the Heavenly Emperor nodded silently.
He had already understood why the Heart Demon only appeared now.
Logically, the Heart Demon would have started to cause trouble when he helped Qin Yang.
But it didn't.
It was also waiting for the Human Emperor to take his place and ascend to the Heavenly Court.
However, it wasn't waiting for the Human Emperor to tear down the list, but rather needed him to activate the Heart Demons of all the immortals and gods.
Thus, he would "have no choice but" to hold the investiture of the gods.
"Is that so..."
"I also have no choice but to hold the investiture of the gods..."
The Heavenly Emperor murmured these words, as if his soul had been hooked.
At this moment, he was gradually accepting the Heart Demon's idea.
In fact, he could no longer distinguish whether it was the Heart Demon or his own true thoughts.
