Godslayer: Starting with a sword god, the Night Watchers can't hold on any longer.

Chapter 443 The Undefended Divine Realm?

The mist, three seas east of the Olympian realm.

The three Taoist priests stood in mid-air, silently probing the strange aura around them.

"According to Hera's description, before she left the realm of the gods, more than half of the Olympian gods had already died or been injured."

"Now it seems that what they said was true..."

“That’s for sure…” Upon hearing the voice of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, the Moral Celestial Venerable sighed slightly, his brows furrowed as he pointed ahead.

"We've been there before, have we? Look at this, does it even resemble a first-rate divine kingdom?"

It's no wonder He reacted this way. Although the Olympian realm was still shrouded in a pure night, even for powerful beings like the Three Pure Ones, these illusions had no effect on them.

"It seems our guess was correct; this is the divine realm that the Black Goat prepared for the soon-to-be-returned Cthulhu pantheon..."

"I never imagined that the divine kingdom that Nyx and Kronos had built up over thousands of years would end up benefiting those madmen like Cthulhu."

"Let's not even talk about them... If it weren't for that kid Li risking his life half a year ago to repel the invasion of the Black Goat cubs when we were on the verge of collapse, the situation in Great Xia would probably not be much better than Olympus..."

“That’s right…”

"Alright." After a moment of silence, Yuanshi Tianzun spoke calmly.

"Our main objective this time is to explore the interior of Olympus. If we can find the origin of the divine kingdom, that would be best. If not, we shouldn't force it."

"Don't try to solve a problem you can't handle yourself; call for help as soon as possible."

"Is there anything else to add?" Upon hearing this, both the Heavenly Venerables Daode and Lingbao shook their heads.

Seeing this, Yuanshi Tianzun no longer hesitated, waved his hand, and said softly.

"action!!"

..........

Olympus, the summit of Mount Olympus.

An Qingyu stretched her sore muscles, put away the scalpel, and listlessly walked to the makeshift house built next to the World Tree and sat down.

"How's the progress? My dear Xiao An."

Hearing the shrill sound, An Qingyu frowned in disgust, then lay down on her own and refused to answer.

"How boring... I was actually planning to share my methods for winning over your girlfriend..."

"Since you don't appreciate it, then I don't need to say anything more."

"Tch..." Save Jiang Er? And then turn her into your servants?

An Qingyu scoffed, then shook her head dismissively.

"You don't need to bother testing me. I won't go back on my promise to you, but I'm still human after all. There's a time when my mental strength can't hold up. If you still want to exploit me while I'm resting... you might as well just kill me?"

Hearing An Qingyu threaten him with his life again, the Black Goat, hidden in the shadows, shook its massive body in frustration.

"Never mind... as long as you know it, that's fine. But the progress has indeed been a bit slow lately. What we need most right now is time."

“Hmm…” An Qingyu nodded, then closed her eyes and quietly recovered her mental energy.

In the void, the Primordial Celestial Venerable watched this scene silently.

When His eyes swept over the huge beastly shadow lying on the withered meadow, a chilling killing intent flashed in His pupils.

[Black Goat]........

It seems your situation isn't too optimistic either...

After arriving at the Olympian realm, the Primordial Celestial Lord finally understood why the Black Goat, which had awakened from its slumber six months earlier, had not chosen to continue its invasion but instead hastily ended it, giving the Great Xia a chance to breathe.

It turns out that... His own divine power was already on the verge of spiraling out of control.

However, this is a normal phenomenon. After all, there is no god kingdom in this world that belongs exclusively to the Cthulhu pantheon. Without the blessing of the origin, those evil crimson divine powers are like unstable bombs, which are at risk of exploding at any time.

Even the mighty Black Goat, one of the Three Pillar Gods, was unwilling to take such a risk by forcibly attacking the Great Xia.

Once the source of evil and the source of the Olympian kingdom have merged, He can reproduce without restraint and welcome the return of the Cretan gods.

It seems... we still need to find a way to erase the origins of the Olympian divine realm...

Pulling his thoughts back, Yuanshi Tianzun already had a general idea in mind.

However, He still needs to rely on the power of the Heavenly Court's origin.

Having made up his mind, Yuanshi Tianzun took a deep look at An Qingyu's figure before his figure slowly faded away in the void.

At the same time, An Qingyu, who was swaying slightly on the recliner, opened her eyes slightly and revealed a meaningful smile at the corner of her mouth.

............

Mist, island.

Yuanshi Tianzun tore through the void and slowly walked out, arriving beside the two Tianzun who had been waiting for a long time.

"How's it going?"

"I've roughly surveyed the entire divine realm, and if I'm not mistaken, there shouldn't be any survivors..."

"so serious?"

“It might be even more serious than that,” Yuanshi Tianzun added at the opportune moment after Lingbao Tianzun finished recounting his discovery.

"The origin of the Olympian pantheon has already begun to merge with the origin of evil. Once the merging is successful, Olympus will become the new pantheon of the Cthulhu pantheon..."

"Not only that, but Olympian gods like Hera, who emerged during that war, will gradually be corrupted by the source of evil under the influence of the new primal power, eventually becoming monsters that are neither gods nor demons."

"You old scoundrel, what did you find there?"

"...I discovered...the entire Olympian realm is not completely sealed off; the portals near the Aegean Sea, the Forest of Oracles, and the sacred mountain are all wide open..."

"It's as if they deliberately wanted us to discover that the [Black Goat] was attempting to invade the very essence of the Olympian realm..."

Upon hearing this, both Yuanshi and Lingbao, the two Heavenly Venerables, showed thoughtful expressions.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable, who was in charge of investigating the anomalies in the origin of the divine kingdom, and the Spirit Treasure Celestial Venerable, who was in charge of investigating the existing combat power of Olympus, did not actually enter the divine realm. They merely wandered around in a parallel spacetime using their profound Taoist magic.

Meanwhile, the Moral Celestial, who was in charge of exploring the entrance to the Olympian realm, actually flew around the entire realm.

Therefore, the answer He arrived at must be accurate.

"Something's not right..."

Is it possible that the Black Goat never harbored any suspicion towards the other divine realms?

"Unlikely... The cautiousness of the Kreece gods is well-known; they would never make such a mistake."

"........"

Listening to the argument between the two, Yuanshi Tianzun seemed to have thought of something and glanced suspiciously in the direction of the Olympian realm.

Could it be...it's him?

But... why did he do that?

"Let's go back first. This place is too close to Olympus. If we stay here too long, the Black Goat will inevitably notice us."

Pulling himself back to reality, Yuanshi Tianzun frowned and disappeared into the void.

Seeing this, the Celestial Venerable of Morality shook his head helplessly.

"That old bastard, he does whatever comes to mind."

"Stop complaining, let's go quickly."

...........

Heavenly Court, Lingxiao Palace.

After the three Celestial Venerables returned, they told the gods of Great Xia everything they had seen and heard on Olympus.

They attempted to find the best solution by drawing on the opinions of many.

"If any immortals have any opinions, please speak them out, and let's exchange ideas."

As soon as Yuanshi Tianzun finished speaking, Yang Jin, who was sitting in the southeast corner, stood up, cupped his hands, and said.

"Heavenly Venerable, Erlang has something to say, but I don't know if I should say it or not."

"Speak freely." Yuanshi Tianzun smiled and waved his hand, indicating that Yang Jin did not need to be so polite. He then took two steps back and sat down on the gilded soft couch.

"Everyone, the Celestial Venerable just mentioned that the Olympian realm, which has been corrupted by the source of evil, is undefended. In my opinion, this matter should not be the work of the Black Goat."

"How do you know?" Guang Chengzi asked solemnly, his brows furrowed.

"The reason is simple: based on our understanding of Cthulhu, they would never put themselves in danger."

Either act with the force of thunder, crushing everything with overwhelming power...

Either it's subtle and insidious, lurking in the shadows without leaving a trace...

It is absolutely impossible to erode the very essence of the Olympian divine realm so openly and aggressively as it is now.

That's far too risky.

Upon hearing this, all the immortals sitting around the Lingxiao Palace nodded in agreement.

They had fought against the gods of the Kelvin more than once or twice, so they were well aware of the strangeness of these monsters.

They are not only powerful, but also have extremely meticulous thinking, so meticulous that no one can find any loopholes.

This time, however, it was indeed quite unusual.

Just as the immortals were deep in thought, Yang Jin cleared his throat and continued.

"Therefore, I suspect that this matter is related to An Qingyu, the former vice-captain of the Night Watch squad, who defected to the Cthulhu pantheon."

"what?!"

"How can it be!!"

"Yang Jian, don't make unfounded guesses. That kid is the host of the [Key to the Gate]!"

His body will eventually be replaced by the Key to the Gate, which awakens from its slumber!

"........"

Seeing this, Yang Jian shook his head and smiled helplessly.

When he decided to voice his guess, he had already anticipated what might happen.

After all, An Qingyu had voluntarily betrayed the Great Xia, so his explanation would be hard to convince people in the short term.

Who cares...

It's just a guess anyway. It doesn't matter if I guess wrong, it would be better if I guess right!

"All right."

Seeing that the immortals were arguing more and more fiercely, Yuanshi Tianzun chuckled and tried to calm things down.

"I've already said it's just a guess, so let's not be so fixated on it."

“I’ve also considered what Erlang said. I noticed that this kid seemed a bit abnormal when we were in the parallel universe.”

"Although he was working for the god of the Krystal, he wasn't in a hurry; rather, he seemed to be stalling for time."

"Heavenly Venerable One, do not trust so easily! What if the entrances to these divine kingdoms opened by Olympus are ambushed by the gods of the Kelvin?"

Seeing that Yuanshi Tianzun was speaking up for Yang Jin and An Qingyu, Guang Chengzi stepped forward anxiously, clasped his hands respectfully, and said...

"According to you, does that mean we should just let the gods of the Kelvin corrupt the very essence of the Olympian divine realm?"

Upon hearing this, Nezha, who was sitting on the table, sneered and spoke with a disdainful expression while fiddling with his Universe Ring.

"Of course not!"

"What's that? Are you scared?"

Guang Chengzi frowned, ignoring the troublemaking Nezha, and turned around to bow to the three Heavenly Venerables.

"Your Majesty, I have no fear whatsoever, but the Cthulhu lineage is indeed eccentric and vicious, and we must be wary of them."

"In my humble opinion, we should dispatch a reconnaissance team to set up anchor points around the Olympian realm. If an ambush is indeed found at the entrance to the realm, we can provide rapid support..."

For the next three minutes, Guang Chengzi quoted extensively from classical texts, covering almost every possible scenario, leaving Nezha, Yang Jian, and Sun Wukong dizzy and confused.

Finally, Sun Wukong couldn't take it anymore. With a wave of his hand, he shut down Guang Chengzi's five senses, rubbed his aching head, and said helplessly.

"Finally... it's quiet..."

Seeing this, Yuanshi Tianzun chuckled and glanced mockingly at the three generals who were on the verge of exploding in rage.

"Alright, we've reached a general conclusion today, so let the three of us finalize the battle plan."

"Monkey, release Guang Chengzi's restrictions. You all go down and make preparations."

After speaking, the figures of the three Celestial Venerables gradually faded away in the Lingxiao Palace.

...........

Beneath the Bodhi tree, the three Celestial Venerables sat cross-legged on futons, summarizing the advice given by the immortals.

"What Erlang said is not impossible, but blindly believing in a host body of the three pillar gods of the Khrushchev lineage who has defected from the Great Xia is indeed too risky."

"What Guangchengzi said does have some merit..."

"An undefended divine realm... I do indeed want to go and explore it!"

"Look at you... why don't you take those three generals with you..."

"It's a good idea!"

"........."

"........."

..........

Shangjing City, Night Watch Headquarters.

While processing the documents, Zuo Qing's vision blurred, and just as he looked up, his eyes were suddenly filled with a blur.

An elderly man with gray hair and a long beard, dressed in plain clothes, appeared before him at some point, smiling and watching him.

"Master Jiang? Is there something you need at this hour?"
