Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon!-Chapter 661: The War of the Gods

"How vast are the countless heavens and worlds?"

"How many stars fill the sky above?"

"The world you see is but the tip of the iceberg to those 'gods'."

"And what you call life is merely a wisp of dust in the long river of history."

"When night falls, the starry sky that people gaze upon is boundless and immeasurable..."

"Opening Heaven, Dharma Principle, Five Elements, life, order, cause and effect... the rising sun, the bright moon, lofty mountains, rivers, ancient trees, dust... Countless things."

Her voice, like the bell of dusk and dawn, struck chord after chord in Chen Pingping's heart.

Opening his eyes, he saw a Chaotic Sea, vast and boundless, covering who knows how many miles, seemingly without end. Deep within the Chaotic Sea were many creatures of strange and bizarre forms: some with three heads and six arms, some with human lower halves and foggy upper halves, others burning with flames all over, the sound of flowing water unending, one like the bright moon... There were at least a hundred.

They seemed to be nurturing there; beneath the flow of time's long river, they slowly opened their eyes. They birthed Spiritual Intelligence and began to wonder about the world. They carved out heavens and earth and established all order.

Suddenly, a familiar figure entered his field of vision.

It was the Mortal Startling Guest, Jiu Yue.

She/He emerged from the Chaotic Sea, a body thousands of feet tall like a towering giant. She still had a sword at her waist, but it was not a stone sword; its Sword Body comprised many colors: gray, black, blue, red, turquoise, purple... The stone tower in her left hand was similar, with colors flowing through it, resembling a Liuli tower that emitted a Mighty Power. Not only that, but Lord Jiu Yue herself also bore colors, vastly different from what he had seen before.

Chen Pingping's heart trembled. Was this the true Jiu Yue? What era was that? Just chaos. Could it be... the Era of Creation? A time when all things had not yet proliferated, when the heavens and earth had no order, when everything was just beginning. She... Jiu Yue... The Big Shot of that era. Holy shit?

Upon seeing this scene, Chen Pingping immediately felt as if countless mountains pressed upon his shoulders—heavy, oppressive, almost suffocating. He saw a true Big Shot.

The Jiu Yue of days past emanated a formidable pressure, penetrating the heavens and the earth, with dense Tao and Mighty Power; the sword at her waist and the tower in her left hand were imbued with the same. And those eyes—a kaleidoscope of colors. She was too powerful. The mortal realm seemed unable to contain her form and began to collapse—the skies and earth, mountains and rivers alike. Fortunately, she gradually learned to control herself.

After stabilizing the mortal order, she remained in a state of confusion. For a very, very long time—no one knew how many eons passed, tens of thousands of years? Or millions of years?—creatures began to appear on the mortal lands. But they were not the Human Clan; they were strange forms of life. It was not just her; upon the mortal lands, there were many 'gods' just as bewildered as she, standing tall upon the earth, becoming objects of worship for the creatures.

A very long time later, the sky saw its first sun. It was a 'god,' a Big Shot enshrouded in golden flames, standing above the vault of heaven, elucidating the Tao. Then, another moon appeared, followed by the Five Elements, Tao, Dharma Principle, and the Power of Heaven and Earth. All order began to slowly emerge. But this 'Jiu Yue' remained unmoved. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Only on her did anomalies appear: threads of multi-colored lines emerged from within her, falling into the mortal lands in millions of strands.

"Six Tao..." she spoke with difficulty, laboriously uttering her first two words since existence.

Indeed, she was interpreting the Six Tao, constructing the order of the mortal realm: Life, death, illusion, divine, soul, qi...

Life!

Death!

Nothingness!

God!

Soul!

Essence Qi!

The Six Tao Principle.

Unlike the Five Elements, which breed and overcome each other, the Six Tao instead complemented and supported one another. But this also gave rise to a problem: Lord Jiu Yue's Six Tao conflicted with the order established by other mighty gods.

On the mortal land, the first Life God to open its eyes came to her and said, "You cannot become a god!"

The second, the Death God, also arrived and declared, "Cut!"

The third was the God of Nothingness. The fourth, a spirit. The fifth, the Undying King, holding the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls. The sixth was a seven- or eight-year-old girl, surprisingly a humanoid being.

Chen Pingping was surprised.

The little girl, her big eyes wide, stared intently at Jiu Yue and asked in a soft voice, "What is the Six Tao?"

"Life!" said the Life God.

"Death!" declared the Death God.

"Nothingness!"

"God!"

"Soul!"

The sixth naturally was "Essence Qi."

It should have been the little girl's turn to answer, but she did not speak, instead continuing to scrutinize Jiu Yue.

After a long while, the little girl then said, "Mysteries!"

Indeed, she saw not only the Six Tao that Jiu Yue had manifested but also three other terrifying mysteries.

The little girl said, "You... should have split into nine, but your Dharma manifested in a union of nine. The order and mysteries you constructed conflict with the mortal realm, making it impossible for you to become a god."

Jiu Yue remained silent, uncertain how to refute. In fact, she was one of the earliest life forms born from the Chaotic Sea, but compared to the other mighty gods, she had left the Chaotic Sea too late. Therefore, she missed out on establishing order. As the mortal world moved towards completeness, her existence seemed to lose its significance.

Yet, she firmly believed that the Six Tao and the three mysteries she created held their own value, distinct from the order established by the mortal gods. The most significant difference might have been in cause and effect. The Six Tao did not breed nor counteract each other but instead supported one another, with all order based upon cause and effect, rooted in the good and evil of the mortal world. She was like an alternative existence.

But now, she was rejected...

Jiu Yue looked puzzled, not understanding what this meant until several "Big Shots" made their move and started to sever the Six Tao she had released.

At the same time, heaven and earth trembled, and the creatures of the mortal world began to weep. The wandering souls in the mortal realm also became alert at this moment, kneeling in this direction. Moreover, powerful departed souls rushed here quickly, trying to stop the "Big Shots" from acting.

Alas, the gods were too powerful. Even with countless departed souls swarming in, they could not change the battlefield or reverse the situation.

Jiu Yue roared repeatedly, her thousand-foot frame resisting continuously. Her Six Tao exploded simultaneously, releasing various Mighty Powers.

In the midst of the chaos, only the little girl did not lift a finger; she pondered another issue. Before the world was opened, all life spawned was unique; they never repeated. Once they left the chaos, they established their own orders in the mortal world, governing their dominions without interference. What about Jiu Yue then? Was her existence superfluous? Or was it an inevitability?

As she pondered this, divine warfare ignited and spread wildly to every major region of the mortal world. The resulting shockwaves of power unknowingly erased countless beings.

It was a horrifying sight. Chen Pingping took a sharp breath.

More terrifyingly, even as the "Big Shots" made their move, they could not overwhelm Jiu Yue. She transformed into the Six Tao, manifesting mysteries, her majestic form radiating. A cascade of colors bloomed as various Mighty Powers enveloped the sky, slaughtering their way forth.
