From the gods of the Sky High Plateau down to the ordinary citizens at dawn, everyone felt suddenly at risk.
Noro Mai’s body trembled, her eyes flickering with an indescribable terror.
But at this moment, Shen Yuan was somewhat surprised; in Noro Mai’s words, he heard a term that was very familiar to him.
Before Shen Yuan could ask for details, Noro Mai took a deep breath and continued,
"However, after that, an exhilarating piece of news spread from the Sky High Plateau: Amaterasu Omikami declared that the four High Gods were messengers sent by the Father of All Gods to save us.
In the near future, the Father of All Gods will personally visit Ying Island to eternally govern Hell!"
By this point, the fervent look in Noro Mai’s eyes as she gazed at Shen Yuan was undisguised.
"The news of an impending disaster caused by Hell’s tributary was only circulated within the boundaries of Pingan Capital; even places far from the center of Ying Island have no knowledge of this matter.
Almost everyone held a pessimistic view, believing there was no future for Ying Island, and some local deities even fled the Sky High Plateau for overseas islands."
In such circumstances, when Amaterasu Omikami’s prophecy about the Father of All Gods emerged, the vast majority of people thought it was just a lie concocted by Amaterasu Omikami to comfort their hearts.
But it wasn’t until the Father of All Gods himself descended here and saved Luliang City from danger that I realized my own ignorance and foolishness.
Please, Father of All Gods, save Ying Island, save this world that you created!"
Shen Yuan’s pupils trembled slightly; originally, he had not cared about this so-called title of the Father of All Gods.
But as Noro Mai explained, and after bringing up Bull Head and a few other powerful experts, Yuan became somewhat skeptical.
Amaterasu Omikami claimed that Bull Head and the others were sent by the Father of All Gods, and under normal circumstances, they should have objected to this.
The Mount Luofeng 6 Hell Deities, who command the Netherworld, would not casually become tools for Amaterasu Omikami to deceive others.
Unless... the oracle was true.
There were many contradictions, yet if the identity of Shen Yuan as the Father of All Gods was taken as true, then everything seemed to make sense.
The Mount Luofeng 6 Hell Deities obeyed Shen Yuan’s orders. The Mt. Luofeng deities’ efforts to fend off the kingdom of Hell’s invasion into the Primal Chaos Realm was Shen Yuan’s will, and Bull Head and others’ arrival in Ying Island to suppress Hell could indeed be seen as Shen Yuan’s dispatch.
Amaterasu Omikami, as a powerful expert from above the Immortal Realm, has her own dignity and would not casually recognize someone as a father god for the sake of gaining an ally, but if Shen Yuan’s identity as the Father of All Gods was true, then there would be no problem at all.
All of this appeared so reasonable, except to Shen Yuan himself.
"Ying Island, Amaterasu Omikami, these names are completely unheard of, let alone the Father of All Gods.
Could it be something that got tangled up after I next traveled back many years before?
But how do you explain the somewhat familiar Sky High Plateau?"
Shen Yuan’s confusion deepened.
To understand the truth, he could only go to Pingan Capital to find answers.
Shen Yuan could only temporarily suppress the myriad thoughts in his mind and spoke,
"I came here precisely to resolve the chaos caused by Hell in Ying Island."
"Before heading to Pingan Capital, I will deal with the projections of Hell’s tributaries surrounding Ying Island, cutting off these nodes that allow Hell to interfere with the mortal world. Do you have any information on other projections of Hell’s tributaries?"
Noro Mai grew more delighted by Shen Yuan’s words, and she quickly took out a scroll from her storage earring.
"This scroll was delivered using the power of the gods three days ago before the Amaterasu Grand Shrine was destroyed, containing information on various battlefields.
While there may be some omissions, most projections of Hell should be recorded here, please, Father of All Gods, take a look."
Shen Yuan took the scroll, his Divine Sense swept over it and instantly absorbed all the information within.
Casually throwing the scroll back to Noro Mai, Shen Yuan flicked his index finger, creating a Space Rift that led to another battlefield node of Hell’s tributary projection.
Noro Mai hurriedly spoke, "We can no longer gather forces inside Luliang City, and the Amaterasu Grand Shrine has been destroyed, but I still can use the god statues to pass on information to other grand shrines."
"Please allow me to first send a message to the Amaterasu Grand Shrines in each city, to have the city guards hold back the Hell specters and create an opportunity for you to sever the Hell’s projection,"
"There’s no need,"
Shen Yuan’s sword fingers came together, and the Darkness-Light Sword was unsheathed in an instant. The 10 Directions Universe Qi crossed through the spatial passage and descended upon another battlefield.
This battlefield was far less intense than Luliang City, with both sides still in the probing phase, but with the arrival of the Darkness-Light Sword carrying the 10 Directions Universe Qi, vast swathes of shattered space devoured the seemingly endless Hell specters.
Whether it was Spirit Refining Stage Ghost Kings or Return-to-Void Stage Great Ghost Kings, they were no different from ordinary specters under the shattered space.
Then, with a flash of sword light, the Hell’s tributary projection was easily severed, and the Darkness-Light Sword crossed back through the spatial passage and flew back into Shen Yuan’s hand.
The whole process didn’t even exceed the time of three breaths. Noro Mai hadn’t even reacted before the spatial passage closed.
She could only barely see the desolate battlefield filled with space rifts through the closing spatial channel.
"Is that... resolved?"
Noro Mai’s eyes were filled with uncontrollable shock, but Bai Zhao merely glanced at her with disdain and said with contempt, "What a fuss over nothing."
Just as the spatial channel had just closed, everyone saw Shen Yuan’s index finger twitch, and another space rift was opened.
The sword light flashed again, and the Darkness-Light Sword once more surged into the spatial passage. Three breaths later, the sword returned to its sheath, and then another spatial channel opened.
This time, even Bai Zhao was stunned.
The Void Refining True Monarch has the ability to shatter the void, but there is a limit to this, it’s not possible to open spatial passages anytime and anywhere.
The stability with which Shen Yuan opened spatial passages, and the speed of opening them, surpassed Bai Zhao’s comprehension.
In front of Shen Yuan, everyone saw one spatial passage after another open, with the sword light flashing and leveling everything, severing the Hell’s tributary projections and returning again.
Finally, after opening eight spatial passages in succession, Shen Yuan’s movements finally paused.
Bai Zhao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Shen Yuan had finally reached his limit, only to see Shen Yuan frown slightly and say dissatisfied,
"Too slow!"
The next moment, Shen Yuan waved his sleeve robe, and numerous cracks appeared in the vast expanse of space, with no less than a hundred spatial passages opening at that moment.
Within them were recorded Hell battlefields from the scrolls, Hell nodes extrapolated by Shen Yuan using Star Astrology Divine Power, and powerful undead presences locked by Shen Yuan.
The hundred or so spatial passages nearly tore the sky apart, and such extensive spatial fluctuations naturally attracted the attention of countless specters.
Numerous Return-to-Void Great Ghost Kings directed their gaze through the spatial passages towards this location, and Bai Zhao even felt a terrifying presence from within eight of the pathways.
Void Refinement Realm supernatural beings! And not just one!
Bai Zhao was shocked. The spatial passages were bidirectional; Shen Yuan could strike thousands of miles away using the passages, which also meant those powerful supernatural beings could use Divine Skills through them against Shen Yuan.
Even if Shen Yuan forcefully closed the spatial passages, it would be of no use since the spatial coordinates had been exposed, and those Void Refinement spirits and demons could also shatter the void and lock onto this location.
At this moment, Bai Zhao felt his scalp tingle and wanted nothing more than to immediately flee Luliang City.
But the instinct to survive made him forcefully suppress that impulse.
The next moment, Shen Yuan made his move.
Without resorting to the Darkness-Light Sword, facing hundreds of spatial passages, even the fast-killing speed of the single Darkness-Light Sword would waste too much time.
The Hell’s tributary projection was not immutable, and if it encountered danger, it might be forcibly recalled by the covertly controlling supernatural beings. Swift action was essential.
Shen Yuan’s right hand slowly extended toward the spatial passage, and at the same time, in a higher dimension, the majestic Great Tao Manifestation similarly raised its palm.
Like a projection descending from a higher dimension, hundreds of Sky-Obscuring Giant Hands crossed the spatial passages and appeared simultaneously over hundreds of battlefields.
Without employing any Divine Arts, the hands overturned everything as if the sky were collapsing, burying all beneath them.
All projections of Hell’s tributaries were severed!
