Heavenly Court
At this moment, the three Immortal Lords of the Heavenly Court also received reports about the Buddha and Demon War. They have learned about the fall of Sword Demon Star.
"Brother, we are aware of the news. The Buddha Sect is invincible on the battlefield of the demon race. Sword Demon Star cannot hold back the Buddha Sect. At most, a few hundred Bodhisattvas can forcefully transform the entire planet. Now it is time for us in the Heavenly Court to show our stance."
Immortal Lord Chang Rong said to the two. The Space Battleship has also gained a lot on the Sword Demon Star battlefield. Looking at it this way, the demon race is definitely not the opponent of the Buddha Sect, and they should show their response as well.
"Immortal Lord Chang Rong, given the current situation, shouldn’t we in the Heavenly Court watch from the sidelines? The demon race will never sit back and watch their own destruction. They will wait for them to fight each other until both are weakened, and then our army will move in for the harvest."
"You think too highly of that. The demon race will never allow us to benefit from their struggle. The Buddha Sect has many talented people and will not truly fight to the death with the demon race."
"This..."
"You mean that Immortal Lord Chang Rong wants to follow the previous strategy, forcing the demon race into a final battle, so they can’t support their own kind, and also take over the demon race’s territory?"
"Yes, this was the previous strategy and it can be put back into action."
Immortal Lord Chang Rong said that the pause in this plan was due to uncontrollable factors appearing in the demon race.
Over the years, they have tried to infiltrate the demon race, but they still haven’t found any clues. The information from the demon race shows that they are quite puzzled by this.
But the fact is that it happened, so Heavenly Court decided to take action without hesitation. Once they occupy the demon race’s territory, they can investigate openly. This matter must have a conclusion, and this is the true reason Heavenly Court decided to act.
"What did the Heavenly Emperor say?"
"He has already agreed, and soon, the Heavenly Emperor will issue an official order."
"Since the Heavenly Emperor has agreed, we should take action. Immortal Lord Chang Rong, do you have any ideas on how to proceed?"
"The six Star Domains are mobilizing at the same time, focusing on mobilizing Tiannan and the North Star Domain. They also ordered the few immortals from Blue Star to deploy Space Battleships to assist in the battle."
Immortal Lord Chang Rong smiled. Although his plans against Blue Star were unexpectedly disrupted, he still wanted to continue.
The other two Immortal Lords gave Immortal Lord Chang Rong strange smiles. They could see through Chang Rong’s actions, but they chose to watch coldly. Since Chang Rong had succeeded, they would also share in the benefits, and they understood this without needing to say it.
As for failure, they did not think it would happen. There were only a few immortals on the Blue Star side; what could they use to win?
They didn’t even consider helping Blue Star. First, they were not familiar with them, and second, they did not want to fall out with Immortal Lord Chang Rong. They had known each other for hundreds of thousands of years; why would they risk their friendship over the small interests of Blue Star?
Mahayana Star
"Friend Lin, have you received the decree from the Heavenly Court?"
"The Golden Armor Immortal just left."
Li Canghai said to Lin Jiang, and Lin Jiang pointed to the sky. Just now, the Golden Armor Immortal had sent a message to Lin Jiang that the Heavenly Court was calling for battle, and the command included Mahayana Star within its reach.
"How many troops will Mahayana Star send?"
"Two hundred for Tao Achieving, thirty for Transmigration, and three thousand for Space Battleship."
"Um..."
Li Canghai immediately gave Lin Jiang a sympathetic look, truly feeling sorry for him.
According to the rules of the Heavenly Court, when calling for troops to join the fight, there are many regulations, and most of the time, calls are based on strength and usually do not exceed eighty percent, unless the war is at your doorstep.
The number called by the Heavenly Court for Canglan Star was just around fifty percent, but for Mahayana Star, it had already exceeded eighty percent. This was clearly targeting them.
"All share in honor and all share in loss, Daoist Friend Li."
"I know, but Daoist Friend Lin, the enemy is strong and we are weak."
Li Canghai said helplessly, how could he not know that what benefits one, benefits all, and what harms one, harms all? But he couldn’t stop Immortal Lord Chang Rong, and he certainly couldn’t sacrifice Canglan Star.
"Fine, I understand. Taoist Friend Li needs to work harder. Surely, one must become a Domain Master."
"Do you have news?"
"It’s a guess."
"That can’t be trusted."
"It’s likely eight or nine out of ten."
Lin Jiang shook his head. The organization of Heavenly Court is quite loose; reforms are definitely happening, but Li Canghai’s chances of becoming Domain Master are not great. Lin Jiang was just painting a picture for him, encouraging him to try harder.
Li Canghai had not left yet when Cao Ying appeared angrily, because Blue Star had also been requested too much by Heavenly Court.
"Lin Jiang, I can’t gather thirty Transmigration from Blue Star. Recently, five people Transmigration, three died, and two flew up. What should I do?"
"Tell the Heavenly Court to increase the number of immortals fighting and reduce the number of cultivators."
"Is it useful?"
"There will definitely be some. If a few more immortals die, I’m sure some people will be happier."
Lin Jiang said calmly, while Li Canghai looked up at the sky, pretending to know nothing.
Soon, Lin Jiang received news from Li Qing, the Demon Queen, and Lin Ying. They were all over-recruited by the Heavenly Court. Meanwhile, Liang Long from Lingyun Star and Lin Huafei from Da Fo Star had no reactions. The cultivators on Liang Long’s side were divided between Lin Jiang and Cao Ying; they had already agreed on this. Liang Long only wanted to rule one planet and nothing else. On the other hand, Lin Huafei was too new, having not yet reached the level of Tao Achieving, so the Heavenly Court exempted him from recruitment.
The total recruitment quota for the Blue Star camp exceeded eighty percent, around ninety percent, and they were also responsible for more than eighty percent of the Space Battleships; the remaining twenty percent was handled by the combined Space Battleships of the two Star Domains.
"Leave some vital energy for each planet; thirty immortals should try to fight as much as possible."
After thinking for a moment, Lin Jiang replied to everyone. Now, the Blue Star camp had not just twenty-one immortals, but three. Over the years, each group had gradually seen some success in Transmigration Stage, with the success rate reaching a common level, increasing the number of immortals by nine, just enough to make thirty.
Although most of these thirty immortals were Lin Jiang’s old friends, it couldn’t be helped now. Immortal Lord Chang Rong no longer cared about appearances, and it was time for them to fight hard.
Soon after, Lin Jiang personally went to the Heavenly Court to discuss with Immortal Lord Chang Rong. They were willing to have more immortals join the battle to reduce the number of cultivators fighting.
Immortal Lord Chang Rong agreed because immortals usually have a kind of beginner’s protection period. Those who have just ascended to the Heavenly Court are rarely called upon, unless it is a battle near their home, like a few wars in the past, which cannot be avoided. The second reason is that if they choose to join the battle, the Heavenly Court will not refuse.
Lin Jiang set a quota of fifteen immortals to participate in the battle, then left the Heavenly Court and returned to Mahayana Star to prepare for war. For these fifteen, Lin Jiang kept Cao Wang, Zhu Bin, and a few other technical experts. Lin Huafei could join the battle because he had a stronghold on a planet. Even if his Soul Fragment was destroyed, he would not die immediately.
On the cultivator side, Lin Jiang left Big Shadiao, Small Shadiao, and Ye Chen behind. They were his trusted aides and definitely could not be put at risk.
"Immortal Lin Jiang"
In the midst of his busy schedule, the neighbor, Chang Le, came to see Lin Jiang.
"What is it?"
"I’m leaving, just wanted to say goodbye."
"Goodbye said, see you."
"Why must Immortal Lin Jiang be so heartless? I also want to take part in this battle."
"Is that so? Then why do I see your name appearing as a guard in the Tianxing Star Domain?"
Lin Jiang said with a smile, Chang Le is indeed participating in the battle, but unfortunately in a support role, guarding the Tianxing Star Domain. This battle is initiated by the Heavenly Court, and there is no real danger in guarding the Tianxing Star Domain; it’s just for show.
"Yes, the Tianxing Star Domain is also very dangerous. The Buddhist sect has been watching it closely for a long time."
"Then please be careful, Immortal Chang Le."
"Why must Immortal Lin Jiang be so heartless? In fact, you have a better choice."
Immortal Chang Le sighed, as she couldn’t understand why Lin Jiang and his group were so resistant towards them.
Immortal Lord Chang Rong and his group hold high positions in the Heavenly Court, have a great advantage, and are very powerful; this is an undeniable fact. Is it not normal to yield to the strong?
All it takes is for Lin Jiang to show some weakness to Immortal Lord Chang Rong and offer some benefits; wouldn’t that avoid the current situation? After all, this battle is very perilous, as it attacks the demon race’s homeland. Won’t the demon race retaliate?
"A gentleman knows what to do and what not to do, so Immortal Chang Le doesn’t need to worry about us."
Lin Jiang waved his hand; he knew very well that if he submitted and offered, he could ease his relationship with Immortal Lord Chang Rong.
Being a dog is not something new; back then, they were very obedient to Xia Qingshan, risking their lives for him.
But Lin Jiang couldn’t do that; because he had been a dog before, he didn’t want to be one now. Why should we submit just because Immortal Lord Chang Rong pressures us? Don’t we care about our dignity? After enduring hardships for so long, is it just to be a dog for you?
He had willingly given up many benefits in previous dealings with the powers of the two Star Domains, freely offering them help.
But the key point is that Lin Jiang and others did this out of their own will, not because they were forced; that makes a big difference.
After speaking, Lin Jiang didn’t care what Chang Le thought; he simply turned and left. He was busy and had no time to deal with such matters.
As for Immortal Lord Chang Rong and his people, Lin Jiang did not plan to let them off easily. For now, he was just biding his time; he was excellent at this. Wasn’t Xia Qingshan once very arrogant? Now look, the grass on his grave is several feet tall.
