[The old woman who is the incarnation of the ’Fated Woman’ seems to perceive your disappointment. She laughs and shakes her head, signaling that it was you who had summoned her, even threatening her with the encroachment of the Evil God. Now that she has appeared, why do you seem so despondent?]

[You are at a loss for words.]

[The old woman feigns understanding and continues to speak. She suggests that perhaps you feel her power is too weak to assist you against your enemies. The young servant, the representative of the Heavenly Warden, do you know why she remained silent and unresponsive to your call?]

[You understand in your heart that the ’Fated Woman’ feared death and refused to serve the Heavenly Warden. But of course, you couldn’t articulate this to her face.]

[The old woman seems as if she wants to say something but ultimately shakes her head without uttering a single word. She changes the topic, claiming to know about your plans to overthrow the Sakura Fall ruler.]

[As for your worries... you underestimate the power of divine beings. Even the weakest deity resides high above the reach of mortals.]

[The ruler of Sakura Fall has yet to reach the level of overlooking all living creatures. In Zhu Chi, there are half-divine beings known as ’Immortals’ that can suppress him.] 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

[In the eyes of the gods, the so-called ’great general’, is nothing more than a trivial matter, if not for the malice bestowed upon him by the Evil God...]

[The old woman sighs deeply, and continues to speak. She states that she has taken a great risk by sending her incarnation to the human realm, and cannot linger any longer.]

[When you battle the ruler of Sakura Fall at the most crucial moment, remember, it must be at the most crucial moment!]

[At that time, call her name in your heart and she will assist you in eliminating your enemies.]

[Having said that, the old woman does not wait for your response. Her body transforms into countless spots of light, and she disappears in haste...]

"Wait... she’s just leaving just like that?"

Lin Xun pulled a wry smile.

According to the ’Fated Woman’, even the undefeated great general is nothing special in the eyes of deities, and even the weakest ’God of Dance’ could defeat the great general.

Looking at the assurance in the old woman’s demeanor, it didn’t seem like she was bragging.

He was just worried that this ’God of Dance’ might be making empty promises, and might abandon him at the crucial moment of battle.

Upon second thought, if the ’God of Dance’ dared to stand him up, he still had the ’Guardian Amulet of the Great General’ in his pocket. Worst comes to worst, they’ll all perish together.

The only thing he couldn’t figure out was: when would the ’most crucial moment’ be?

Lin Xun furrowed his brow and pondered for a while. He concluded that perhaps there were significant limitations to the ’God of Dance’ materializing in her true form, or perhaps her manifestation was extremely brief and required instant annihilation of the enemy.

However, according to the ’God of Dance’, the strength of the Great General was ’trivial’, and for a deity, annihilating him instantly wasn’t far from certain.

"Damn! Riddle masters sure are annoying!"

"I don’t care anymore! Up next is...the final battle!"

[...]

[You leave the Castle Tower, heading for the Capital once again...]

[...]

[The scene in the ’Ancient Tomb of Fire Worship’ remains the same, among the endless dense tombstones; a lone, ancient figure continues to wait for you in silence.]

[At your nod, the ’Grave Keeper of the Tomb of Fire Worship’ understands. The moment to determine the fate of all beings... is today!]

[He lights the incense with devotion, worshipping in front of the tombstones one by one...]

[Soon, numerous heroic spirits from the ancient divine wars begin to emerge in the vast cemetery!]

[The heroic spirits hold various weapons, letting out silent roars towards the sky. Immediately, a vast force fills the entire cemetery!]

[You receive the power bestowed by the ’Divine Domain of the Heavenly Warden’!]

[Within the Divine Domain, your strength and the strength of your summoned entities, along with all the followers of the Heavenly Warden, will greatly increase!]

[Because the ’Chaos Origin Dragon’ and ’Ancient Heavenly Warden’ belong to allied factions, all the Dragon God followers will also receive a similar strength boost in this place!]

[You shake the ’Refined Copper Sand Hammer’, and the ’Combat Angel—Valkyrie’ progressively appears from the void. She carries a golden bow as long as an ordinary human’s body and constantly flaps a pair of gigantic wings made of metal, keeping her afloat.]

[You take possession of the body of the ’Master of Yiye Palace of Fire Worship’!]

[You wave the purification beads in your hand, summoning your loyal Shikigami...]

[The cemetery’s temperature plummets abruptly, and snow begins to fall. Amidst the blizzard, a graceful figure appears—the Ice Elf ’Mountain Snow Woman,’ responding to your call!]

[A drastic change occurs in the great cemetery. The tombstones disappear, replaced by crimson land dyed by blood...]

[Under the setting sun, the desolate ancient battlefield, laid with countless lives, is a battlefield of the gods. The cries of countless beings echo from the distant horizon!]

[A thin young figure emerges beside you—the ’Sly Ghost’ responds to your summons!]

[The skies grow dark as dense clouds envelop the heavens. The howling wind intensifies, and deep purple lightning bolts flash across the sky!]

[This thunderbolt strikes the ground like the opening of the heavens, the bright light that flashes momentarily blinds you...]

[When the lightning recedes, and your vision recovers, a beautiful woman emerges, surrounded by purple lightning as thick as pythons. She is the realm’s controller of thunder, she is the bewitching daemon—the ’Nine-tailed Fox’ responding to your summoning!]

[You take out the ’Daoist Plaque of Dragon Pond Temple’, calling upon the spirits of the Dragon Pond Temple, which have been worshipped for thousands of years...]
