Chapter 272 East, West, South, North... Wherever the Sun and Moon Shine...
"How can we stop it?"
A deity spoke up and asked.
"You have all seen the strength of that mortal. He single-handedly slaughtered all 100,000 Sakura Gods. Even if we join forces, we may not be his match."
The eagle-headed, human-bodied deity fell silent.
He knew it was true.
Li Jun's strength is too great.
So powerful that even these incarnate gods felt despair.
"Unless the Father of the Gods descends from the mortal realm."
An elderly deity spoke, his voice hoarse.
Upon hearing this, all the gods present fell silent.
Ra himself descended to earth.
They all knew exactly what this meant.
The concentration of spiritual energy in the present world is not yet sufficient to support the complete descent of a god-king level being.
If one forcibly descends to the mortal realm, their strength will inevitably be reduced, and once they do, it will be difficult to return to their peak.
This is a choice that results in the loss of 800 enemies while also inflicting 1,000 casualties on yourself.
And this moment.
In far more distant places, the god-kings in their various divine realms were also pondering the same question.
Zeus stood amidst the thunderclouds of Mount Olympus, gazing eastward with an uncertain expression.
Odin stood atop the temple in Asgard, his single remaining eye gleaming with a profound light.
Marduk stood in the pillar of light of the Babylonian ruins, surrounded by starlight, his brow furrowed.
Brahma stood atop Mount Sumeru, his four faces simultaneously displaying solemn expressions.
They were all hesitating.
They are all weighing the pros and cons.
Although the expansion of the Great Xia's earth veins is currently being suppressed by the various celestial and divine realms, and the expansion is proceeding slowly, this suppression will inevitably be broken in the long run.
Moreover, this timeframe is likely to occur before the spiritual energy is fully restored.
At that time, they will completely lose their foundation in this world.
However, just as the gods were hesitating...
The erosion force of the Great Xia's earth veins suddenly decreased.
The previous fierce impact became almost non-existent, as if it had received some kind of order, transforming from a raging dragon into a docile stream.
Zeus was stunned.
Odin was stunned.
Marduk was stunned.
Brahma was stunned.
All the gods who were watching the ley lines of the Great Xia were stunned.
"What happened?"
Above Mount Olympus, Zeus's voice was filled with doubt.
But He soon sensed that the earth's veins in the Great Xia had not stopped expanding, only the direction of expansion had changed—from the south, west, and north, to the east.
The earth's veins in the eastern part of the Great Xia Dynasty are spreading at an alarming rate.
Following the seabed, we continued eastward.
Further east lay the New World.
The ley lines of the New World were utterly unable to withstand the erosion of the Great Xia ley lines. Those fragile ley lines were like paper in front of the Great Xia ley lines, easily torn apart and swallowed up.
The earth's veins are spreading toward the New World with unstoppable momentum.
Zeus's expression grew even more grim.
He understood.
That mortal did not give up.
Instead, they chose to start with the easy tasks and then move on to the more difficult ones.
He wants to devour all the ley lines of the New World.
Once the earth veins of Great Xia have grown to a certain extent, then we will turn around and deal with them.
Will they still be able to stop them then?
"It must be stopped..."
"We can't wait any longer..."
Zeus gripped his thunderbolt tightly.
But at that moment, Athena stood in front of Zeus.
"Father God, no!"
Athena said eagerly.
"Going down to the mortal realm now would be a losing proposition!"
"We just need to wait a little longer, until the spiritual tide of heaven and earth erupts again, until the mortal realm can support your true form. Then, when you descend to the lower realm, you will be able to maintain your full strength!"
"Go down to the mortal realm now, and you will be weakened!"
Zeus remained silent.
He knew that Athena was right.
Going down to the lower realm now is too risky.
But ignoring it won't work either.
"So, what do you suggest we do?"
Zeus's voice was deep and cold.
Athena thought for a moment.
"We can unite with other pantheons."
she says.
"The expansion of the Great Xia's ley lines threatens not only us, Olympus."
"Christianity, Babylon, Vaticanism... all theocracies will feel threatened."
Zeus listened and remained silent for a long time.
Then, He nodded.
"it is good."
He said.
"We'll do as you say."
……
Similar dialogues are playing out across various pantheons.
Faced with the expansion of the Great Xia's ley lines, all the major pantheons felt a deep threat.
They knew that if they did not take action, once that person truly matured, they would face utter destruction.
But they hesitated about what action to take.
Going down to the lower realm now would come at too high a price.
It cannot descend to the lower realm, nor can it be stopped.
Ultimately, all the pantheons made the same choice.
joint.
Let's unite and suppress the Great Xia's earth veins together.
To buy time for the world to fully recover.
At that time, they will be able to descend upon the world with their full power.
At that time, they will be able to compete with that person.
……
At this very moment, various pantheons are stirring up trouble.
In a hotel room in Haihe City, Daxia.
Li Jun's mind was still immersed in the earth's veins, feeling the exhilarating sensation as the earth's veins expanded eastward.
The ley lines of the New World were utterly powerless against the Great Xia's ley lines, constantly being eroded and swallowed up.
The power that had been devoured was continuously merging into his body and into the land of Great Xia.
The power that had been devoured was continuously merging into his body and into the land of Great Xia.
He could feel his body growing stronger at an astonishing rate.
His cultivation level was also gradually advancing.
Meanwhile, the land of Great Xia is becoming more substantial, more fertile, and more full of spiritual energy at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The whole process lasted a very long time.
When Li Jun finally opened his eyes, it was already evening.
He stood up and stretched his limbs.
His bones crackled and popped like thunder.
Li Jun could feel that his physical strength was much stronger than before.
Moreover, his connection with the Great Xia Earth Vein has become closer than ever before.
If he so desires, he can mobilize the power of the earth's veins with a single thought.
That power was as vast as the sea and as heavy as a mountain.
Enough to crush everything.
"So... this is the path I've chosen..."
Li Jun raised his head and looked eastward.
That's the direction of the New World.
The ley lines of the Great Xia Dynasty continued to spread along the seabed, constantly devouring the ley lines of the New World, and in the process, his strength continued to increase.
Although the rate of improvement is slow, it is continuous.
"Earth veins..."
Li Jun murmured, a slight smile curving his lips.
Just then, Xiao Lingxi's voice came.
"Master! Master! Are you awake?"
Li Jun turned his head to look.
Little Lingxi was standing at the bedroom door, her little face tilted up, her big golden eyes full of anticipation.
"Master, Grandpa said he's taking me out for something delicious tonight! Would you like to come along?"
Li Jun smiled as he looked at her excited little face.
"it is good."
Little Lingxi clapped her hands with joy, then ran back to report the news.
Li Jun watched her figure disappear, then he turned to look out the window.
The sky outside the window has been tinged with orange-red.
The sunset glowed like fire, burning across half the sky.
