685: new force

A colossal spatial rift suddenly opened opposite the spatial rift of the Demon Realm, and then, a diverse array of people flew out from within.

Among them were old men in coarse cloth clothes, middle-aged women in cheongsams, teenagers, and peerlessly beautiful young women.

The Aura radiating from them was incredibly familiar to Grand Tutor Wen in the fray; these people were clearly a group of gods, a group of deities who had appeared based on the Investiture of the Gods!

But how was this possible? The Investiture of the Gods had clearly disappeared a long time ago, hadn't it?

Sun Wukong and Yang Jian were even more dazed, because they saw two extremely familiar figures in the crowd. One was in golden armor and helmet, wielding a Golden Cudgel, exactly like Sun Wukong, while the other, although entirely blue, also held a Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade and was accompanied by a thin hound...

As soon as this group appeared, they suddenly bowed in one direction of the Void Realm: "Welcome, Jade Emperor!"

Suddenly, an old man who looked somewhat strange appeared from the Void Realm. The old man chuckled and said: "No need for formalities. From here on, everyone fights on their own. Play however you want!"

"Oh yeah!"

The group roared and launched an assault directly at the Pseudo-Saint Legion.

Their numbers were actually not large, only less than three hundred people, but each of them was proficient in certain Law powers and was definitely much stronger than these Pseudo-Saints.

"Which gods are these? And where is that old man's Jade Emperor from?"

Sun Wukong said in shock.

"I... I'm also a bit confused. Not only is that monkey exactly like you, but even the one wielding the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade has strength and fighting style similar to mine... The only difference is the Law we have both comprehended..."

Yang Jian said in a deep voice, "I can sense that guy is... is me!"

Sun Wukong smiled bitterly: "I also feel like that guy is me..."

"Hey, who cares who they are? As long as they aren't enemies, that's fine... Cheer up, we still have a tough battle to fight..."

Old Pig laughed heartily, directly maximizing his Domain Law, instantly enveloping three Pseudo-Saints, and then used his rake to bash holes in their heads. Although he didn't kill them, it was enough to give these guys a headache.

Besides these deities, another group of people was slowly floating out from that huge rift. Among them, a foreigner wielding a large blade was particularly eye-catching. Of course, there was also a middle-aged man who was ninety percent similar to an Earthling. Their Aura was the most formidable, and behind them followed two or three troops. The numbers weren't high, but the Aura was incredibly powerful. The most absurd thing was that a huge, weird-looking spaceship slowly flew out from within. If anyone had been exposed to StarCraft, they would know that this thing was the Mothership of the Protoss.

Besides this, an even more terrifying army appeared before everyone, following closely behind.

Or rather, it wasn't an army, but a huge legion composed of all kinds of insects. On the head of an incredibly huge, mantis-like insect, a woman wearing a crown and of extreme beauty was looking at all this with eyes that overlooked the common people.

"It's Auntie Gan!"

Tang Xian suddenly laughed loudly, dashed to the front in a few steps, and said with a smile, "Auntie, you've finally come. We've waited so bitterly!"

Auntie Gan rolled her eyes, flicked him on the head, and said, "If you weren't Tang Ao's son, I wouldn't bother with you... To tell you the truth, your mother is very angry, and the consequences are serious. After going back, go and face the wall to reflect on your mistakes. Otherwise, you won't have any pocket money for the next thousand years!"

"I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong. Please put in a good word for me in front of Mom!"

Tang Xian shook her arm like a child, and Auntie Gan pinched his ear, saying, "Alright, alright, my old bones are being shaken apart by you!"

"Ha, who would dare call you old? Auntie Gan is not old at all. Among all the aunts, you are the most beautiful!"

Tang Xian flattered her without leaving a trace.

"Alright, I know your character. Complimenting me must have some ulterior motive... Hmm, but it doesn't matter!"

Auntie Gan suddenly took out a palm-sized rectangular box from her sleeve and said, "Where is Tang Sanzang? Now that the outcome of the War of Order is decided, has he not returned yet?"

Before Tang Xian could speak, someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder from behind. Turning around, he discovered it was the monk they were discussing.

"Aren't I back?"

Tang Ku chuckled and said, "Senior, are you intending to give this to me?"

"Yes, the Heavenly Dao Sword Box is my sister's personal Magic Treasure. It has infinite wonderful uses. You must use it well and not disappoint the New Saint's painstaking efforts!"

Auntie Gan threw the box in her hand to Tang Ku. Tang Ku caught it and looked back at the battlefield, saying, "Should I go and help?"

"Just go and busy yourself with your own affairs. Leave this to me!"

The old man who had just been honored as the Jade Emperor slowly floated to the front and chuckled at Tang Ku.

Tang Ku couldn't help but be slightly stunned, then exclaimed in surprise, "So it's you? You're not Jiang Ziya... You are the Jade Emperor?"

The old man stroked his beard and smiled, "I was just following the New Saint's orders to play the role of Jiang Ziya to guide you... My name is Lambor. According to your terms, I am an alien, but I am also the guardian of the Heavenly Court, the legendary Jade Emperor... Hmm, of course, I have also done the things that Jiang Ziya did, so... hehe, you understand!"

It turned out that this old man was the fortune-telling old man Tang Ku had met when he restarted his journey to the West.

"Alright, this is just my own imagination not being enough..."

Tang Ku rubbed his eyebrows and said, "With the addition of your fresh reinforcements, I'm afraid these guys from the Pseudo-Saint Legion won't be able to stir up any trouble anymore..."

"But there is still one problem!"

Auntie Gan frowned slightly and said, "Aren't you afraid that these guys will scatter and escape? With their strength, any one of them escaping would cause indelible damage to this world!"

"Hehe, I actually prepared for this long ago... Hmm, or rather, the New Saint had actually prepared this for me when I first Transmigrated here!"

Tang Ku chuckled and said, "Brick, don't you agree?"

A chubby little girl suddenly appeared in the Void Realm and yelled, "All of you, get in... now!"

"Whoosh!"

With a wave of her small hand, a scroll suddenly unfurled. The ink painting within was vivid and lifelike, seemingly becoming infinitely large in the blink of an eye. However, looking closely, one would find that the scroll hadn't changed at all, yet everyone on the entire battlefield had disappeared, having been collected into that scroll.

"So that's how it is. Is this the Map of Mountains and Rivers left behind by Nüwa?"

Jade Emperor Lambor chuckled, "In this way, the battlefield has entered the Map of Mountains and Rivers... Even if it's damaged, there's a way to repair it, but it won't have any major impact on this world!"

"Hehe, the space inside is ridiculously huge, and my Zerg army will also have room to perform!"

Auntie Gan waved her hand, and the Zerg army behind her swarmed forward, rushing into the scroll.

Tang Ku couldn't help but look up at the sky and said helplessly, "I still have to go do my job... Sigh, what a sin, when will it ever end?"

Brick chewed on a chicken leg and said, "You should be content. We've all taken on the dirtiest and most tiring work. You just have to deal with one fallen Saint, which is an extremely easy job!"

"Do you think a Saint is that easy to deal with? Even if he is fallen, I'm no match for him!"

Tang Ku spread his hands and said.

"Hehe, you chose it yourself. Who can you blame!"

Ge Gang's voice appeared behind him. His metallic body saw Auntie Gan and the Jade Emperor, and he couldn't help but cup his hands to them and said, "The two of you, long time no see!"

Lambor said, "Hehe, not bad, not bad. You have become Order, and our side's chances of winning have increased a bit. Hmm, are you two planning to join forces to deal with that freak?"

"Yes, Tang Ku has already told me the plan. If I don't step in to contain him, I'm afraid this plan will be hard to succeed!"

Ge Gang said in a deep voice.

"You kid, back then that guy Tang Ao was bold enough, but I didn't expect your thinking to be even more avant-garde... Alright, just for this drive of yours, I'm rooting for you. When everything is settled and we return to the Original Universe, let's drink and chat happily again!"

As Lambor spoke, he had already rushed into the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

"Little girl, the outside world is up to you to guard. You must guard the Map of Mountains and Rivers well and don't let anyone slip through the net!"

Auntie Gan, taking Tang Xian with her, also stepped into the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

Tang Ku and Ge Gang looked at each other, and then their figures flashed and disappeared. Only the little girl was left, grumbling awkwardly, "You all left, leaving me alone here. Aren't you afraid I'll be scared? Forget it, forget it, relying on others is not as good as relying on oneself! Sigh..."

The little girl even chewed up the chicken bones, then took out a large pork knuckle from her bosom and continued gnawing on it.

Inside the Map of Mountains and Rivers, it was already in Chaos. The newcomers proficient in Law were one thing, but those terrifying Zerg were the true existences that could turn the tide of the battle. These insects were fearless of death, and although they didn't understand Law, they each possessed innate Divine Abilities similar to Law—spitting fire, spraying acid, spitting ice, firing energy balls. The insects that fought in close combat all had bodies as hard as High Grade Magic Treasures...

After these guys joined, they instantly became disruptors. Often, these Pseudo-Saints had to deal with a dozen or even twenty Zerg alone. And after these Zerg died, they could actually resurrect once more from their bodies. This meant that these insects actually had two lives, effectively doubling the military strength.

"Hahaha, hahahaha... It's been a long time since I've experienced a battlefield like this..."

A large amount of Chaos power condensed around an old man. The Pseudo-Saints were almost no match for him in a single exchange. Suddenly, he caught sight of Shi Jingmo, who was using the Buddhist Dao Law to clear out the Pseudo-Saints on the battlefield, and couldn't help but laugh loudly: "Kid, it's you. Become my successor and become the Lord of Chaos!"
